Understanding the Zones
Supply Zones (Red):
Created from bearish patterns (Tweezer Tops, Kangaroo Bears). Price made a high attempt to push higher, but was rejected. These become resistance areas where sellers may step in again.
Demand Zones (Green):
Created from bullish patterns (Tweezer Bottoms, Kangaroo Bulls). Price made a low with strong rejection. These become support areas where buyers may step in again.
Zone Quality Indicators:
• White border = Fresh zone, not tested yet
• Gray border = Zone expired or invalidated
• Thin zones (tight range) = Better risk/reward ratio
• Thick zones = Less precise, wider stop required
Trading Applications
Reversal Trading - Enter at pattern detection with tight stops
Zone Retest Trading - Wait for retests of established zones
Trend Confluence - Trade only when patterns align with trend
Risk Management - Use zone boundaries for stop placement
Target Setting - Opposite zones become profit targets
Pro Tips
Best signals occur when pattern + zone retest + trend all align
Lower timeframes = more signals but more noise
Higher timeframes = fewer but more reliable signals
Start with default settings, adjust based on your market
Combine with other analysis (structure, key levels, etc.)
Use alerts to avoid staring at charts all day
Important Notes
Not all patterns will lead to successful trades
Use proper risk management and position sizing
Patterns work best in trending or range-bound markets
Very choppy conditions may produce lower-quality signals
Always confirm with your own analysis before trading

FVG Buy/Sell [Multi-TF] by akshaykiriti1443The FVG Buy/Sell indicator is a precision trading tool designed for traders who operate with a clear directional bias. It excels at identifying high-probability entry points by detecting when price interacts with Fair Value Gaps (FVGs).
This indicator is built on a core principle: instead of predicting the market's direction, it provides the timing for an entry after you, the trader, have established your market bias. By automatically pinpointing bullish and bearish imbalances on both the current and a higher timeframe, it allows you to wait for the market to pull back to a key level and then provides a clear signal for execution.
The Core Strategy: Bias First, Entry Second
This indicator is most powerful when used as part of a two-step trading process. It is not a standalone signal generator; it is an entry confirmation tool.
Step 1: Determine Your Directional Bias
Before looking for any signals from this indicator, you must first have an opinion on the market's most likely direction. This bias should be derived from your primary analysis method, such as:
The Golden Rule:
If your bias is BULLISH, you will ONLY look for BUY signals generated by bullish (green/blue) FVGs. You will ignore all SELL signals.
If your bias is BEARISH, you will ONLY look for SELL signals generated by bearish (pink/orange) FVGs. You will ignore all BUY signals.
Step 2: Execute with the FVG Tap-In Signal
Once your bias is set, the indicator does the rest of the work. You simply wait for the price to pull back into an FVG zone that aligns with your bias and then wait for the confirmation arrow to appear.
A green up arrow confirms that price has tapped a bullish FVG and closed above it, signaling that support has held and it's a valid moment to enter a long position.
A red down arrow confirms that price has tapped a bearish FVG and closed below it, signaling that resistance has held and it's a valid moment to enter a short position.
How to Take a Trade (Step-by-Step Examples)
Example of a Bullish (Long) Trade Setup:
Establish Bias: Your primary analysis shows the market is in a clear uptrend. Your bias is Bullish. You are now only looking for buying opportunities.
Identify Zone: The indicator draws a bullish FVG (a green or blue box) during an impulsive up-move.
Wait for Pullback: Be patient and let the price retrace down into this FVG zone. Do not chase the price.
Confirmation Signal: A green UP arrow appears below a candle. This is your signal. It confirms that buyers have stepped in at the FVG level and defended it.
Entry: Enter a long (buy) position at the open of the candle immediately following the signal candle.
Stop Loss: Place your stop loss below the low of the signal candle or, for a safer stop, below the bottom of the FVG zone itself.
Take Profit: Target a previous high, a higher-timeframe resistance level, or use a risk-to-reward ratio like 1:2 or 1:3.
Example of a Bearish (Short) Trade Setup:
Establish Bias: Your primary analysis shows the market is breaking down into a downtrend. Your bias is Bearish. You are now only looking for selling opportunities.
Identify Zone: The indicator draws a bearish FVG (a pink or orange box) during an impulsive down-move.
Wait for Pullback: Patiently wait for the price to rally back up into this FVG zone.
Confirmation Signal: A red DOWN arrow appears above a candle. This is your confirmation that sellers have rejected the price at this level.
Entry: Enter a short (sell) position at the open of the next candle.
Stop Loss: Place your stop loss above the high of the signal candle or above the top of the FVG zone.
Take Profit: Target a previous low, a key support level, or the next major FVG below.
Features Explained in Detail
Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Analysis: HTF zones (dotted lines) carry more weight. A signal from a 4-hour FVG while you are on a 15-minute chart is significantly more powerful than a signal from a 15-minute FVG alone. Use HTF zones as major points of interest.
Confirmed Tap-In Logic: The arrow only appears after price has touched the zone and then closed outside of it in the expected direction. This built-in confirmation filters out wicks that simply pass through a zone without a real market reaction.
Dual Alert System:
Entry Alert ("Price has entered..."): This is a heads-up alert. It tells you to pay attention because price is now in your pre-defined zone of interest.
Tap-In Alert ("Confirmed tap-in..."): This is the execution alert. It signals that the conditions for a trade have been met according to the indicator's logic.
Fade on Tapped: When enabled, a zone will become transparent after a confirmed signal. This visually cleans up your chart, showing you which zones have already been tested and "mitigated."
Minimum FVG Size (Ticks): In volatile or ranging markets, many tiny, insignificant FVGs can form. Use this setting to filter out the noise. Increase the value to only display larger, more significant imbalances.
Disclaimer: Trading involves substantial risk. This indicator is a tool for analysis and should not be used as a sole reason to enter a trade. Always practice robust risk management and use this tool in conjunction with your own trading plan. Past performance is not indicative of future results.
Session High/LowWhat it does:
Plots the High and Low of three sessions—Asia (19:00–02:00), London (02:00–08:00), New York (09:30–16:00)—all in UTC-4. After a session closes, it draws a horizontal line starting at the bar where the level first formed, extends it live to the current bar, and shows a label at the line’s end. If price sweeps the level (by wick or close, configurable), the line stops at that bar.
Settings: show/hide sessions, sweep on close toggle, how many past sessions to keep, line style/width, colors per session, and custom label text.
Works on any timeframe. Note: session times are fixed to UTC-4 (adjust if your market uses DST).
Khosro XAUUSD Strategy [TradingFinder] Trading Room Hunter Setup🔵 Introduction
The Trading Room Hunter (TRH) strategy is an analytical model based on the Smart Money Concept, developed by Khosro, an Iranian international trader based in Dubai. This approach is built upon a deep understanding of liquidity engineering, market structure shifts, and institutional order flow. Its core objective is to identify the so-called TRH Zone, the area where market liquidity gets trapped and institutional investors begin accumulating positions. Unlike traditional indicator-based methods, the TRH Zone focuses purely on price behavior and supply & demand dynamics to pinpoint the most precise reversal zones in the market.
Within Smart Money logic, every impulsive move in price results from the displacement or absorption of liquidity in a specific range. In the TRH model, the last pivot preceding the impulsive move (Origin Pivot) is defined as the Distal Line, and the Break Candle, which disrupts the market structure, forms the Proximal Line. The area between these two points defines the Trading Room Hunter Zone, a reaction zone where price, after creating a displacement or Break of Structure (BoS), often returns to fill an imbalance and provide a precision entry opportunity.
In essence, the TRH Zone is the region where smart money seeks re-entry after a liquidity sweep and a confirmed CHoCH or BoS. It frequently lies between supply/demand boundaries and fair value gaps (FVGs), forming one of the strongest decision-making frameworks within modern price-action theory. Due to its structural accuracy, the TRH setup can also function as a Set & Forget Setup, where the trader defines the zone, places a limit order, and lets the market naturally react, eliminating emotional decision-making and allowing for automated execution aligned with institutional logic.
🔵 How to Use
In the TRH strategy, entries are taken based on price returning to the area between the last impulsive pivot and the break candle. This range (the TRH Zone) represents the region where liquidity from the previous move remains concentrated. Before continuing its main direction, price often revisits this zone to fill imbalances or mitigate unfilled orders. The logic is simple: every explosive move originates from a point where large orders were executed, and TRH precisely highlights that institutional footprint.
🟣 Bullish Setup
When the market breaks a structural high after a strong bearish leg, liquidity shifts from sellers to buyers. The last bearish candle before the breakout marks the origin of the bullish move, and the zone between that candle and the break candle becomes the smart-money entry area. As price revisits this zone and signs of exhaustion in selling pressure appear, that’s the optimal point for a long position. Stop-loss is placed slightly below the origin pivot, and targets are set at the next supply zone or upper liquidity pool.
🟣 Bearish Setup
Conversely, when the market breaks a structural low after a sharp bullish leg, liquidity transitions from buyers to sellers. The last bullish candle before the drop is identified as the origin pivot, while the bearish break candle defines the lower boundary of the zone. The range between these two points forms the TRH Supply Zone, where late buyers are trapped and fresh institutional selling begins. As price retraces into this zone, short entries can be placed near the upper boundary, with stops above the pivot and targets toward the next liquidity pool below.
Because of its structural precision and clearly defined reaction behavior, TRH is one of the most effective Set & Forget setups in Smart Money trading. Simply mark the zone, place your order, and let the market do the rest.
🔵Setting
🟣 Spike Filter | Movement
Minimum Spike Bars : Defines the minimum number of consecutive candles required for a valid spike.
Movement Power : Enables or disables the momentum-based spike filter.
Movement Power Level : Sets the strength threshold; higher values filter out weaker moves and only detect strong spikes.
Pivot Period : Defines the lookback range used to detect swing highs and swing lows in market structure. A higher value smooths out smaller fluctuations and focuses on major pivots, while a lower value increases sensitivity and identifies minor turning points more frequently.
🟣 Position Management
Stop-Loss Threshold : Enables or disables the stop-loss threshold feature.
Stop-Loss Threshold Value : Defines the value of the stop-loss threshold for risk management.
Risk-Reward Ratio : Sets the desired risk-to-reward ratio (e.g., 1:1 or 1:2).
Wide Zone Filter : Filters out zones that exceed a defined width threshold, preventing detection of overly broad TRH areas.
🟣 Display Settings
Display Mode : Chooses between Setup (showing setups) or Signal (showing trade signals).
Show Entry Levels : Displays entry levels on the chart (buy/sell zones) when enabled
Only Display the Last Position : Displays only the most recent position on the chart when enabled.
Setup Width Drawing : Adjusts the visual width of the setup drawings on the chart for better visibility.
🔵 Conclusion
The TRH strategy is a precise structural model of liquidity flow that identifies zones where smart money is most likely to enter and where price is most likely to react. By combining the Origin Pivot and Break Candle, TRH isolates the key areas that drive institutional order flow. Without relying on indicators, it focuses purely on price structure, making it highly effective for both reactive entries and Set & Forget setups.
Ultimately, TRH creates a balance between market structure and liquidity flow, enabling traders to identify institutional decision zones on the chart with minimal risk and maximum clarity
Market Tension Map v2📊 Market Tension Map v2 — Detailed Description
core concept
market tension map v2 measures market "tension" through a combination of three independent metrics: volatility, volume, and open interest changes. the indicator operates on the compressed spring principle—when the market enters a state of low volatility with high volume and growing OI, it creates "tension" that predicts a potential sharp price movement.
calculation methodology
component 1: volatility score (0-100)
relative volatility is measured through price standard deviation over a specified period. key distinction—inversion: low volatility produces a high score because range compression creates energy for future movement.
component 2: volume score (0-100)
normalization of current volume relative to the period range. high volume during low volatility signals accumulation of positions by large players before a move.
component 3: open interest score (0-100)
evaluation of open interest changes (available only for futures). rising OI confirms new positions entering the market rather than just redistribution of existing ones.
final tension index
arithmetic mean of three components (or two if OI unavailable). values above threshold (default 70) signal spring "compression".
signal types
compression signal (🔴 red diamond)
appears when tension index exceeds threshold with normal candle size. this is a predictive signal—market is compressed but explosion hasn't occurred yet. optimal for entry before movement with tight stop.
climax signal (⚠️ orange diamond)
occurs when threshold crossed + large candle (size > ATR × multiplier). this is a reactive signal of culmination—energy already released. often indicates short-term reversal or move exhaustion.
uniqueness of approach
unlike classic compression indicators (bollinger bands squeeze, keltner channels), mtm v2 doesn't rely solely on volatility. adding volume and OI scores creates a multidimensional picture of market microstructure. volatility score inversion is original logic where calm is interpreted as tension.
the algorithm distinguishes two breakout types:
compression without movement (compression)—anticipation trading
compression with large candle (climax)—reversal trading
this separation is absent in standard indicators.
parameter settings
calculation period (20)—normalization window length. lower = more sensitive to short-term changes.
tension threshold (70)—signal activation level. higher = fewer signals but better quality.
atr length (14) + atr multiplier (2.0)—large candle detection parameters for climax signals. increasing multiplier makes filter stricter.
colors and style—full customization of visual elements to adapt to your chart theme.
how to use
main chart: histogram shows current tension level. yellow = rising, gray = falling.
signals on price chart:
red diamond above candle = prepare for entry (compression)
orange diamond = move occurred, watch for reversal (climax)
background highlight: tinted background shows high tension zones.
data table: real-time monitoring of all components + bar status (live/closed).
alerts: configure notifications for compression or climax signals for automatic monitoring.
limitations
open interest available only for futures. for spot markets indicator works with two components.
requires sufficient bar history (>= calculation period) for correct calculations.
on live bar (not closed) values may repaint—use confirmed signals for trading.
recommended timeframes
1h-4h: optimal for swing trading, signals more reliable.
15m-30m: suitable for intraday but requires false breakout filtering.
d: strategic positions, high risk/reward ratio.

Livermore's Pyramiding Trading - 3Commas [SwissAlgo]
📊 J. LIVERMORE'S PYRAMIDING TRADING - 3Commas Integrated
A Trading Approach Inspired by Jesse Livermore's Position Building Principles
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
DISCLAIMER
This indicator is an educational tool based on historical trading principles. Past performance is not indicative of future results. Trading involves substantial risk of loss. Only trade with capital you can afford to lose. You are responsible for all trading decisions.

📚 WHO WAS JESSE LIVERMORE?
Jesse Livermore (1877-1940) was one of the greatest traders in history.
His core insight: "Most traders do everything backward."
♦ "They deploy all capital at once" → Livermore entered with a small fraction of his capital (he started with a 'test position' to validate his trade idea and waited for market confirmation to deploy more, building positions in steps = "pyramiding")
♦ "They average down" (DCA) → Livermore added to trades showing good results only, and never to losing trades, as the trend kept aligning with his trade idea
♦ "They use arbitrary % stops" → Livermore exited when structure appeared broken (he trailed his stop loss to try to protect unrealized profit - if any)
♦ "They take profits too early or set arbitrary TP%" → Livermore let trades showing positive results run until proven wrong (trial take profit)
💬 "I always made money when I was sure I was right before I began. What beat me was not having enough brains to stick to my own game."
— Jesse Livermore
This indicator tries to translate his principles into a SYSTEMATIC FRAMEWORK :
BO = Base Order (first order, base of the pyramid)
PO = Pyramid Orders (additional layers of capital deployed as long as the 'tape' does not invalidate the trade idea)
♦ Test First (BO - 20%) - Small entry to test your idea. If wrong, lose small. If right, can consider pyramiding into strength.
♦ Build Position Size (PO1-3 - 80%) - Add only as trend unfolds favorably (the indicator uses specific Fibonacci levels to track milestones - 0.618, 1.0, 1.272 - and looks for strong confluence among price, volume, trend, momentum, break of resistance/support levels to suggest and trigger actions: entries, exit)
♦ Attempt to Protect Capital - Dynamic stops: the indicator trails the stop loss, to try to protect potential gains from previous steps (if any)
♦ Discipline - Trades fire only when ALL conditions align

⚙️ SETUP IN 3 STEPS
🟡 STEP 1: Map Your Wave (Points A → B → C)
Identify a completed wave pattern:
For LONGS:
♦ Point A = Swing low (wave start)
♦ Point B = Swing high (impulse end)
♦ Point C = Pullback low (retrace end - where next wave may begin)
For SHORTS:
♦ Point A = Swing high (wave start)
♦ Point B = Swing low (impulse end)
♦ Point C = Pullback high (retrace end - where next wave may begin)
How to set points:
Settings → Enter dates manually OR drag the vertical lines directly on the chart (easier - just click and drag the pre-mapped A/B/C lines)
Requirements (auto-validated by code):
✓ All dates must be in the past (Point C = completed retrace, not forming)
✓ Clear impulse A→B (minimum 5% move)
✓ Clear retrace B→C (minimum 3% pullback)
───────────────────────────────────────────
🟡 STEP 2: Set Budget & Allocation
Settings → "TRADE PARAMETERS"
♦ Total Budget: $10,000 (example - capital for THIS trade only, not your entire account)
♦ Allocation (must total 100%):
BO = 20% ($2,000) - test position
PO1 = 25% ($2,500) @ Fib 0.618
PO2 = 30% ($3,000) @ Fib 1.0
PO3 = 25% ($2,500) @ Fib 1.272
💬 "It was never my thinking that made big money for me. It was always my sitting. Men who can both be right and sit tight are uncommon."
— Jesse Livermore
───────────────────────────────────────────
🟡 STEP 3: Monitor Your Trade Plan Table
The table (top-right corner) has 4 sections that guide your execution:
BUDGET DEPLOYMENT
♦ Trigger prices for each order (BO auto-calculated at 0.5 Fib between B-C)
♦ Dollar amount per entry
♦ Fibonacci level assigned to each PO
ENTRY/EXIT CONDITIONS
Each column (BO, PO1, PO2, PO3) shows live status (✓ or ✗) for:
♦ Price: 2 consecutive closes (BO) | 3 consecutive closes (POs)
♦ Volume: OBV directional alignment OR volume spike above average
♦ Trend: Normal or Strong Bull/Bear (no entries in Uncertain trend)
♦ Pivot: Nearest resistance (longs) or support (shorts) broken
♦ Clean Candle: Momentum without reversal wicks <30% (POs only)
♦ Sequence: Prior order must have fired first (POs only - no skipping levels)
TRIGGERED?
Shows execution status for each order (✓ = fired, ✗ = waiting)
If using 3Commas: ✓ confirms JSON alert was sent to your bot for real execution
VALIDATIONS
✓ Green = All checks passed, setup is valid
⚠️ Yellow = Warning (e.g., budget doesn't equal 100%, deep retrace)
✗ Red = Error (e.g., dates in wrong order, invalid wave structure)
⚠️ Wait for ALL ✓✓✓✓✓ (or ✓✓✓✓✓✓) to align in a column before that order fires at bar close

📊 CHART VISUALS - READING THE INDICATOR
Fibonacci Extension Lines
After mapping A-B-C, horizontal lines extend to the right:
♦ Solid green/red lines = Active PO entry levels (0.618, 1.0, 1.272)
♦ Dotted gray lines = Reference Fib levels used for exit tracking (2.0, 2.618, 3.0, etc.)
♦ Labels on right = Show level and price: "Fib 0.618 / $67,324 "
Entry/Exit Price Lines
♦ Thick green line (longs) / red line (shorts) = BO entry price with direction label
♦ Dashed red line = Current EXIT price (your trailing stop loss - appears after BO fires and moves as price extends)
Trade Execution Labels
Visual confirmation when orders fire on the chart:
♦ Green labels (below/above candles) = BO, PO1, PO2, PO3 entries executed
♦ Red label = EXIT triggered (position closed)
Trend Strength Indicator (EMA Line)
The thick colored line shows real-time trend status:
♦ Bright lime = Strong bullish trend
♦ Light green = Normal bullish trend
♦ Bright red = Strong bearish trend
♦ Light red = Normal bearish trend
♦ Gray = Uncertain/weak trend (no entries fire in this state)
Entries require at least Normal trend strength aligned with your trade direction.

♦ Storage: 60 most recent pivot highs/lows (dynamic lookback per timeframe)
♦ Longs: Nearest pivot HIGH above BO → must break with 2 closes
♦ Shorts: Nearest pivot LOW below BO → must break with 2 closes
♦ Price Discovery: If no pivot exists beyond BO = auto-pass
♦ Why: Aims to confirm momentum has overcome previous rejection zones
4️⃣ VOLUME: OBV Aligned OR Spike
♦ Directional OBV: OBV > 20-EMA (longs) OR OBV < 20-EMA (shorts)
♦ OR Volume Spike: Current volume > 20-period SMA
♦ Why: Checks for institutional participation signals
5️⃣ VALIDATIONS: Setup Valid (✅)
♦ Dates valid (A < B < C, all in past)
♦ Wave structure valid (min 5% impulse, min 3% retrace)
♦ Budget allocation = 100%
♦ Prices detected at all points
⚠️ BO fires once per bar close. Flag set permanently until trade resets.

🔺 PYRAMID ORDERS (PO1-3) - PYRAMIDING INTO STRENGTH
💬 "Never buy a stock because it has had a big decline from its previous high. The big money was never made in the stock market by buying on declines."
— Jesse Livermore
PO Price Calculation
Fixed Fibonacci extensions from Point C:
Formula: Price C ± (Impulse Range × Fib Level)
Where: Impulse Range = |Price B - Price A|
Default Levels:
♦ PO1 @ Fib 0.618 (Golden Ratio)
♦ PO2 @ Fib 1.000 (Full impulse repeat)
♦ PO3 @ Fib 1.272 (Fibonacci sequence extension)
───────────────────────────────────────────
PO Entry Conditions - ALL 6 Must Align (STRICTER):
1️⃣ PRICE: 3 Consecutive Closes Beyond PO
♦ Longs: close > PO AND close > PO AND close > PO
♦ Shorts: close < PO AND close < PO AND close < PO
♦ Why: Higher conviction needed when adding capital (3 vs 2 closes for BO)
2️⃣ TREND: Same as BO
Normal OR Strong trend must remain aligned with trade direction
3️⃣ PIVOT: Per-Level Pivot Break
♦ Each PO checks its OWN nearest pivot (not shared with BO)
♦ Same 2-close break requirement
♦ PO3 Exception: Price discovery allowed (no pivot required if already profitable)
4️⃣ VOLUME: Same as BO
Sustained confirmation required (not weakening)
5️⃣ CLEAN CANDLE: <30% Reversal Wick (NEW)
♦ Filter: Uses ATR(14) - candles < ATR auto-pass (consolidation noise)
♦ Longs: Upper wick < 30% of candle range (no rejection at top)
♦ Shorts: Lower wick < 30% of candle range (no rejection at bottom)
♦ Why: Don't pyramid into weakness/rejection - only add on clean momentum
♦ Not checked for BO: Test position tolerates some wick risk
6️⃣ SEQUENCE: Prior Order Fired
♦ PO1 requires: BO fired
♦ PO2 requires: PO1 fired
♦ PO3 requires: PO2 fired
♦ Why: No skipping levels - disciplined building only
───────────────────────────────────────────
⚙️ KEY DIFFERENCE:
BO (20% capital) = Lighter requirements, testing your idea early
POs (80% capital) = Stricter requirements, adding only to confirmed winners
♦ BO: 2 closes | POs: 3 closes
♦ BO: No candle check | POs: Clean candle required
♦ BO: Independent | POs: Sequential (must follow order)
♦ BO: No price discovery | PO3: Allows price discovery when profitable

🚪 EXIT LOGIC - TECHNICAL DETAILS
🔴 EXIT PHILOSOPHY
The indicator uses TWO INDEPENDENT EXIT TRIGGERS (whichever fires first):
1) Structural Breakdown
Price breaks through the EXIT level with confirmation
2) Trend Reversal
Trend flips against your position AND price breaks EXIT level
Why two methods?
♦ Structure = price-based protection (hard stop)
♦ Trend = momentum-based exit (early warning when market character changes)
♦ Combined: Exit either when proven wrong (structure) or when conditions no longer favor your direction (trend)
───────────────────────────────────────────
🔴 EXIT PRICE CALCULATION
The EXIT price (your stop loss) adjusts dynamically based on position size:
BEFORE PO3 Fires (Fixed Stops):
♦ BO only = Stop at Point C (small position, tight stop near entry)
♦ PO1 fired = Stop at Fib 0.5 (moved to breakeven zone)
♦ PO2 fired = Stop at Fib 0.786 (protecting partial profits)
AFTER PO3 Fires (Trailing Stops):
♦ Tracking: Monitors the highest Fib reached (longs) or the lowest Fib reached (shorts)
♦ Placement: EXIT moves 1-2 Fib levels below the highest (longs) or above the lowest (shorts)
♦ Example: Price reaches Fib 2.618 → EXIT trails up to Fib 2.0
♦ Purpose: Designed to protect accumulated profits while allowing room for normal pullbacks
💬 "It never was my thinking that made the big money for me. It was always my sitting. Men who can both be right and sit tight are uncommon."
— Jesse Livermore
───────────────────────────────────────────
🔴 EXIT CONDITIONS
Exit Speed (Based on Risk Exposure):
♦ Full position (PO3 fired) = 1 close required (fast exit - more capital at risk)
♦ Partial position (BO/PO1/PO2 only) = 2 closes required (confirmation - less urgency)
METHOD 1: Structural Breakdown
Price violates the EXIT level with clean momentum:
For Longs:
♦ Price closes BELOW EXIT level (1 or 2 closes depending on position size)
♦ Clean candle required (lower wick < 50% of range - no false breakdown)
For Shorts:
♦ Price closes ABOVE EXIT level (1 or 2 closes depending on position size)
♦ Clean candle required (upper wick < 50% of range - no false breakout)
Why clean candle check?
Designed to reduce exits on wicks/fakeouts. If there's a large reversal wick (>50%), it suggests buyers/sellers are defending the level - not a true breakdown.
METHOD 2: Trend Reversal
Market character shifts against your position:
For Longs:
♦ Trend shifts from Bull → Normal Bear OR Strong Bear
♦ AND price breaks below EXIT level (same close requirements)
For Shorts:
♦ Trend shifts from Bear → Normal Bull OR Strong Bull
♦ AND price breaks above EXIT level (same close requirements)
Why this matters?
♦ Proactive exit before structural stop is hit
♦ If the trend that confirmed your entries reverses, the setup is invalidated
♦ Livermore principle: Exit when market proves you wrong, don't wait for max pain
───────────────────────────────────────────
⚠️ EXIT BEHAVIOR
♦ Fires once per bar close (same as entries)
♦ Resets all tracking after exit (ready for fresh trade setup)
♦ Clears flags: boSignalFired, po1/po2/po3SignalFired, highestFib/lowestFib tracking
♦ If using 3Commas: Sends exit_long or exit_short JSON (market order closes 100% position)

🤖 3COMMAS AUTOMATION (OPTIONAL)
💬 "There is the plain fool, who does the wrong thing at all times everywhere, but there is also the Wall Street fool, who thinks he must trade all the time."
— Jesse Livermore
Automation designed to help remove emotion and support disciplined execution.
───────────────────────────────────────────
⚡ QUICK SETUP IN 5 STEPS
STEP 1: Create Your Signal Bots
You need 2 SEPARATE BOTS (one for Longs, one for Shorts):
Go to 3Commas → Bots → Create Bot → Select "Signal Bot"
Basic Settings:
♦ Bot Name: "Livermore Long - " (example: "Livermore Long - BTCUSDT")
♦ Exchange: Your connected exchange
♦ Trading Pair: Must match TradingView chart exactly
♦ Strategy: Custom Signal
♦ Direction: LONG (for first bot) or SHORT (for second bot)
♦ Max Active Deals: 1
⚠️ CRITICAL SETTINGS:
Entry Orders:
♦ Toggle ON: "Entry Orders"
♦ Volume per Order: "Send in webhook, quote"
♦ Why: This lets the indicator control exact $ amounts per order (BO=$2K, PO1=$2.5K, etc.)
♦ If you skip this: Orders will use wrong sizes and break your allocation plan
Exit Orders:
♦ Toggle ON: "Exit Orders"
♦ Volume per Order: "100 Position %"
♦ Why: Closes your entire position when EXIT signal fires
♦ Toggle OFF: "Take Profit" (managed by indicator)
♦ Toggle OFF: "Stop Loss" (managed by indicator)
Click "Start Bot" for both Long and Short bots.
───────────────────────────────────────────
STEP 2: Get Your Bot Credentials
For EACH BOT (Long and Short):
♦ Open the bot → Click "Orders" tab
♦ Scroll down to "Webhook Messages" section
♦ Copy these 3 values:
bot_uuid (long string like: a362cbcf-7e68-4379-a83d-ae6e47dba656)
secret (very long token starting with: eyJhbGciOiJ...)
webhook URL (refer to 3commas to get exact webhook - signal bots)
Note: The secret is usually the same for both bots, but the bot_uuid is different.
───────────────────────────────────────────
STEP 3: Enter Credentials in Indicator
Back in TradingView:
♦ Open indicator Settings
♦ Find section: "1️⃣ INTEGRATE 3COMMAS"
♦ Paste:
Long = Your Long bot UUID
Short = Your Short bot UUID
Secret = Your secret token (same for both)
♦ Click "OK"
The indicator now has everything needed to build JSON payloads.
───────────────────────────────────────────
STEP 4: Create TradingView Alert
This alert bridges TradingView → 3Commas. ONE ALERT HANDLES ALL SIGNALS (BO, PO1, PO2, PO3, EXIT).
How to create:
♦ Right-click chart → "Add Alert" (or click clock icon)
♦ Condition: Select this indicator from dropdown
♦ Trigger: "Any alert() function call"
♦ Alert Name: "Livermore Pyramiding - "
♦ Message: Leave default (indicator sends its own JSON)
♦ Webhook URL: Paste your 3Commas webhook URL from Step 2
♦ ⚠️ Alert Frequency: "Once Per Bar Close" (CRITICAL - controls duplicate orders)
♦ Expiration: Open-ended (or set specific date)
♦ Click "Create"
───────────────────────────────────────────
STEP 5: Test Before Going Live
🧪 NEVER TEST WITH REAL CAPITAL FIRST. Use one of these methods:
Test 1: Check Bot Status
♦ 3Commas → Bots → Both bots show "Active" (green)
♦ Click into each bot → Orders tab → Should say "Waiting for signal"
Test 2: Verify Alert Active
♦ TradingView → Alerts panel (bell icon)
♦ Your alert should show "Active" status
Test 3: Paper Trade / Tiny Position
♦ Use 3Commas paper mode if available, OR
♦ Set Total Budget to $10-50 for first real test
♦ Map a wave that's about to trigger
♦ Watch if orders actually appear on 3Commas
Test 4: Check JSON Format
♦ When alert fires → TradingView Alerts → Click your alert
♦ Look at "History" or "Log"
♦ Verify JSON has: bot_uuid, secret, action, price, amount
───────────────────────────────────────────
🛠️ COMMON ISSUES & SOLUTIONS
✗ Problem: Orders not appearing on 3Commas
Possible causes:
♦ Wrong webhook URL → Must be exact 3Commas URL (check for typos)
♦ Bot paused → Check bot status must be "Active" (green)
♦ Wrong bot UUID → Verify you copied Long UUID for longs, Short UUID for shorts
♦ Secret mismatch → Double-check secret is correct
♦ Exchange API issues → Verify exchange connection in 3Commas settings
How to debug:
♦ 3Commas → Your Signal Bot → Orders tab
♦ Look for "Rejected Signals" section
♦ Should show error messages if webhook failed
───────────────────────────────────────────
✗ Problem: Orders executing at wrong prices
Possible causes:
♦ Limit order not filled → Price gapped through your level before order filled
♦ Slippage on exits → Exits use market orders (intentional - speed over exact price)
♦ Exchange minimums → Some exchanges have minimum order sizes
Solution:
♦ Entries use limit orders (wait for exact price - may not fill if price gaps)
♦ Exits use market orders (prioritize fast execution when structure breaks)
♦ This is INTENTIONAL DESIGN following Livermore's principle: exit when proven wrong
───────────────────────────────────────────
✗ Problem: PO orders firing out of sequence or skipping
Possible causes:
♦ Alert not set to "Once Per Bar Close" → Change alert frequency setting
♦ Multiple alerts running → Delete old/duplicate alerts for this indicator
♦ Conditions changed mid-bar → Indicator only fires at bar close (protective feature)
Solution:
♦ Keep only 1 active alert per indicator instance
♦ Always use "Once Per Bar Close" frequency
♦ Wait for full bar to close before signals can fire
───────────────────────────────────────────
✗ Problem: Bot not closing position on EXIT
Possible causes:
♦ Exit order setting wrong → Check bot settings
♦ Wrong JSON action → Should be "exit_long" or "exit_short"
♦ No position open → Can't close what doesn't exist
Solution:
♦ Verify: Bot Settings → Exit Orders → Volume per Order = "100 Position %"
♦ Check alert history for correct JSON payload
♦ If stuck: Manually close position in 3Commas, then fix settings
♦ Delete and recreate alert if JSON format is wrong
───────────────────────────────────────────
🔒 SECURITY BEST PRACTICES
♦ Never share bot UUID or Secret - Treat them like passwords
♦ Use restricted API keys - Limit to specific pairs, disable withdrawals
♦ Start small - Test with $10-50 first, scale up only after success
♦ Monitor first trades - Don't set-and-forget immediately
♦ Delete old alerts - If you change A/B/C points, delete old alert and create new one
───────────────────────────────────────────
📊 PREFER MANUAL TRADING?
Skip 3Commas entirely and use the indicator for planning only:
♦ Watch Trade Plan table for ✓✓✓✓✓ alignment
♦ Manually place limit orders at displayed prices
♦ Manually move stop loss as EXIT price updates
♦ Manually close when EXIT signal fires
Benefits: Full control, no API concerns, can override based on context
Drawbacks: Must watch chart constantly, emotions can interfere, may miss signals
───────────────────────────────────────────
✅ FINAL CHECKLIST BEFORE LIVE TRADING
✓ Both Signal Bots created (Long + Short)
✓ Entry Orders: Volume = "Send in webhook, quote"
✓ Exit Orders: Volume = "100 Position %"
✓ Take Profit and Stop Loss disabled in bots
✓ Bot UUIDs and Secret entered in indicator
✓ TradingView alert created with correct webhook
✓ Alert frequency = "Once Per Bar Close"
✓ Alert status shows "Active"

💡 KEY REMINDERS - BEFORE YOU TRADE
💬 "The speculator's chief enemies are always boring from within. It is inseparable from human nature to hope and to fear."
— Jesse Livermore
───────────────────────────────────────────
⚠️ COMMON MISTAKES (AVOID THESE)
Mapping Incomplete Waves
♦ Point C must be in the PAST (completed retrace, not currently forming)
♦ Don't map a wave that's still developing - wait for confirmation
♦ Minimum requirements: 5% impulse (A→B), 3% retrace (B→C)
Ignoring Validation Warnings
♦ Never create alerts when status shows ✗ (red) or ⚠️ (yellow)
♦ Fix all errors first: dates in order, budget = 100%, valid wave structure
♦ Common issues: dates in future, Point C above B (longs) or below B (shorts)
Premature Manual Entries
♦ Don't enter just because price touched the level
♦ Wait for ALL ✓✓✓✓✓ (or ✓✓✓✓✓✓) to align in Trade Plan table
♦ Patience pays - partial confluence = partial edge = higher risk of losing trades
Wrong Timeframe Selection
♦ Avoid: 15m, 5m, 1m (too much noise, false signals)
♦ Use: 1H, 4H, Daily (cleaner structure, better confluence)
♦ Lower timeframes require faster decisions and produce more whipsaws
Over-Risking Capital
♦ Trade budget ≠ Account size
♦ Never risk capital you can't afford to lose
♦ One bad trade should NOT destroy your account
───────────────────────────────────────────
✅ LIVERMORE PRINCIPLES IN ACTION
Confirmation > Prediction
♦ Don't predict where price will go
♦ Wait for price to INDICATE direction via pivots + volume + trend
♦ Test first (BO 20%), build only when confirmed (POs 80%)
💬 "A man must believe in himself and his judgment if he expects to make a living at this game."
Pyramid on Strength, Never Weakness
♦ Add only when: 3 closes + clean candles + volume + pivot breaks
♦ Never average down (DCA into losers)
♦ If BO wrong, take small loss fast - don't hope and add more
💬 "Never buy a stock because it has had a big decline from its previous high."
Respect Market Structure
♦ Pivots = where smart money previously acted (support/resistance)
♦ Breaking them = momentum overcoming barriers
♦ Entering before pivot break = entering into known rejection zones
Trend is Your Friend
♦ Never pyramid against the trend
♦ If trend shifts to Uncertain or reverses → no new entries
♦ Exit when trend proves you wrong (don't fight it)
💬 "I never argue with the tape. Getting sore at the market doesn't get you anywhere."
Discipline > Emotion
♦ Can't "almost" have all conditions met
♦ Either 100% aligned (all ✓) or you wait
♦ No exceptions, no "this time is different"
♦ Automation designed to help remove emotion - consider using 3Commas
💬 "It never was my thinking that made the big money for me. It always was my sitting."
───────────────────────────────────────────
🎯 FINAL THOUGHT
This indicator is a SYSTEMATIC FRAMEWORK, not a magic solution. It translates Livermore's century-old principles into actionable rules:
♦ Test small, build big
♦ Add to winners, cut losers fast
♦ Let structure guide exits
♦ Stay disciplined when emotions scream
The market will test your patience, discipline, and conviction. The indicator aims to reduce guesswork - but YOU still need to:
♦ Find valid wave structures
♦ Choose appropriate market conditions
♦ Size positions properly
♦ Accept losses as part of the game
💬 "The game of speculation is the most uniformly fascinating game in the world. But it is not a game for the stupid, the mentally lazy, the person of inferior emotional balance, or the get-rich-quick adventurer."

Pump-Smart Shorting StrategyThis strategy is built to keep your portfolio hedged as much as possible while maximizing profitability. Shorts are opened after pumps cool off and on new highs (when safe), and closed quickly during strong upward moves or if stop loss/profit targets are hit. It uses visual overlays to clearly show when hedging is on, off, or blocked due to momentum, ensuring you’re protected in most market conditions but never short against the pump. Fast re-entry keeps the hedge active with minimal downtime.
Pump Detection:
RSI (Relative Strength Index): Calculated over a custom period (default 14 bars). If RSI rises above a threshold (default 70), the strategy considers the market to be in a pump (strong upward momentum).
Volume Spike: The current volume is compared to a 20-bar simple moving average of volume. If it exceeds the average by 1.5× and price increases at least 5% in one bar, pump conditions are triggered.
Price Jump: Measured by (close - close ) / close . A single-bar change > 5% helps confirm rapid momentum.
Pump Zone (No Short): If any of these conditions is true, an orange or red background is shown and shorts are blocked.
Cooldown and Re-Entry:
Cooldown Detection: After the pump ends, RSI must fall below a set value (default ≤ 60), and either volume returns towards average or price momentum is less than half the original spike (oneBarUp <= pctUp/2).
barsWait Parameter: You can specify a waiting period after cooldown before a short is allowed.
Short Entry After Pump/Cooldown: When these cooldown conditions are met, and no short is active, a blue background is shown and a short position is opened at the next signal.
New High Entry:
Lookback New High: If the current high is greater than the highest high in the last N bars (default 20), and pump is NOT active, a short can be opened.
Take Profit (TP) & Stop Loss (SL):
Take Profit: Short is closed if price falls to a threshold below the entry (minProfitPerc, default 2%).
Stop Loss: Short is closed if price rises to a threshold above the entry (stopLossPerc, default 6%).
Preemptive Exit:
Any time a pump is detected while a short position is open, the strategy closes the short immediately to avoid losses.
Visual Feedback:
Orange Background: Market is pumping, do not short.
Red Background: Other conditions block shorts (cooldown or waiting).
Blue Background: Shorts allowed.
Triangles/Circles: Mark entries, pump start/end, for clear trading signals.
ICT Killzones & MacrosICT Killzones & Macros (v1.1.5) — configurable ICT session windows + refined “macro” windows with live High/Low levels, optional extensions, next-window previews, and lightweight opening-price lines. Built to be clock-robust, timezone-aware, and performant on intraday charts.
Tip: All times are interpreted in your chosen IANA timezone (default: America/New_York) and auto-handle DST. You can rename, recolor, enable/disable, and retime every window.
What it plots
- Killzones (5) : Asia (19:00–02:00), London (02:00–05:00), NY AM (07:00–09:30), London Close (10:00–12:00), NY PM (13:30–16:00) — full-height boxes with optional header.
- Macros (8) (defaults tailored for common ICT “refined” windows): Asia-1 (18:00–21:00), Asia-2 (21:00–00:00), London-1 (01:00–04:00), AM-1 (09:45–10:15), AM-2 (10:45–11:15), Lunch (12:00–13:00), PM-1 (13:30–14:30), Power Hour (15:10–16:00).
- Live High/Low lines for the current Macro/Killzone window.
- Optional HL extension to the right until price crosses or the trading day rolls (style selectable).
- “Next” previews : earliest upcoming Macro and Killzone header; optional next-window background band.
- Opening Prices (3 lightweight time lines) : defaults 00:00, 08:30, 09:30 with right-edge labels, scoped to a session you choose (auto-cleans at session end).
- Key inputs & styling
- General : Timezone (IANA), “Sessions to show” (per window) to keep only the last N completed windows.
- Header : height (ticks), gap (ticks), fill opacity, border width/style, text size/color, toggle “Next Macro/Killzone” headers.
- Boxes : global fill opacity, global border width/style (used by both Macros & Killzones).
- High/Low : show HL, HL line style, extend on/off + extension style, optional extension labels.
- Opening Prices : enable Time 1/2/3, set HH:MM for each, session window, per-line colors, style (dotted/dashed/solid), width.
- Per-window controls : each Macro/Killzone has Enable, Session (HHMM-HHMM), Label, Fill color.
How to use (quick start)
- Set Timezone to your preference (default America/New_York).
- Toggle on the Macros and Killzones you trade. Adjust session times if needed.
- (Optional) Turn on Extend High/Low to project levels until crossed/day-roll.
- (Optional) Enable Next… headers to see the next upcoming window at a glance.
- (Optional) Configure Opening Prices (00:00 / 08:30 / 09:30 by default) and the session over which they appear.
Behavior & notes
- Time windows are computed by clock, not by guessing bar timestamps, making them robust across brokers and timeframes.
- With HL extension on, the current window’s levels extend until crossed or the end of the trading day (in your timezone). With it off, completed windows keep static HL markers (limited by “Sessions to show”).
- “Sessions to show” applies per Macro/Killzone to automatically prune older windows and keep charts snappy.
- Opening-price lines exist only within the chosen “Opening Prices Session” and are removed when it ends (keeps charts clean).
Defaults (color cues)
Killzones: Asia (blue), London (purple), NY AM (green), London Close (yellow), NY PM (orange).
Macros: neutral greys with Lunch and PM accents out of the box (all customizable).
Performance tips
- Reduce “Sessions to show” if you scroll far back in history.
- Disable “Next…” previews and/or extension labels on very slow machines.
- Narrow the “Opening Prices Session” window to exactly when you need those lines.
Changelog highlights
- v1.1.5 : Internal refinements and stability.
- v1.1.3 : Live High/Low lines for current windows + optional extension.
- v1.1.2 : Added “next Killzone” preview (to match “next Macro”).
- v1.1.0 : Defaults updated (5 KZ, 8 Macros). Removed “snap-to-killzone” behavior.
- v1.0.0 : Independent Macro vs. Killzone rendering; cleaner header logic.
- Known limitations
If your chart warns about drawings, trim “Sessions to show”.
If your broker session times differ from NY hours, adjust the sessions or change the indicator timezone.

PulseGrid Universal Scalper - Adaptive Pulse and Symmetric SpansInstrument agnostic. Works on any symbol and timeframe supported by TradingView.
Message or hit me up in chat for full access .
Purpose and scope
PulseGrid is a short timeframe strategy designed to read intrabar structure and recent path so that entries align with actionable momentum and context. The strategy is private. The description below provides all the information needed to understand how it behaves, how it sizes risk, how to tune it responsibly, and how to evaluate results without making unrealistic claims. The design is instrument agnostic. It runs on any asset class that prints open high low close bars on TradingView. That includes commodities such as Gold and WTI, currencies, crypto, equity indices, and single stocks. Performance will always depend on the symbol’s liquidity, spread, slippage, and session structure, which is why the description focuses on principles and safe parameter ranges instead of hard promises.
What the strategy does at a glance
It builds a composite entry signal named Pulse from five normalized bar features that reflect short term pressure and follow through.
It applies regime guards that keep the strategy inactive when the tape is either too quiet, too bursty, or too directionally random.
It optionally uses a directional filter where a fast and a slow exponential average must agree and their gap must be material relative to recent true range.
When a signal is allowed, risk is sized using symmetric spans that come from nearby untraded price distances above and below the market. The strategy sets a single stop and a single take profit from those spans.
Lines for entry, stop, and take profit are drawn on the chart. A compact on chart table shows trade counts, win rate, average R per trade, and profit factor for all trades, longs only, and shorts only.
This combination yields entries that are reactive but not chaotic, and risk lines that respect the market’s recent path instead of generic pip or point targets.
Why the design is original and useful
The core originality is the union of a composite entry that adapts to volatility and a geometry based risk model. The entry uses five different viewpoints on the same bar space instead of relying on a single technical indicator. The risk model uses spans that come from actual untraded distance rather than fixed multipliers of a generic volatility measure. The result is a framework that is simple to read on a chart and simple to evaluate, yet it avoids the traps of curve fitting to one symbol or one month of data. Because everything is normalized locally, the same logic translates across asset classes with only modest tuning.
The Pulse composite in detail
Pulse is a weighted blend of the following normalized features.
Impulse imbalance. The script sums upward and downward impulses over a short window. An upward impulse is the extension of highs relative to the prior bar. A downward impulse is the extension of lows relative to the prior bar. The net imbalance, scaled by the local range, captures whether extension pressure is building or fading.
Wick and close location. Inside each bar, the distance between the close and the extremes carries information about rejection or acceptance. A bar that closes near the high with relatively heavier lower wick suggests upward acceptance. A bar that closes near the low with heavier upper wick suggests downward acceptance. A weight controls the contribution of wick skew versus close location so that users can favor reversal or momentum behaviour.
Shock touches. Within the recent range window, touches that occur very near the top decile or bottom decile are marked. A short sliding window counts recent shocks. Frequent top shocks in a rising context suggest supply tests. Frequent bottom shocks in a declining context suggest demand tests. The count is normalized by window length.
Breakout ledger. The script compares current extremes to lagged extremes and keeps a simple count of recent upside and downside breakouts. The difference behaves as a short term polarity meter.
Curvature. A simple second difference in closing price acts as a curvature term. It is normalized by the recent maximum of absolute one bar returns so that the value remains bounded and comparable to other terms.
Pulse is smoothed over a fraction of the main signal length. Smoothing removes impulse spikes without destroying the quick reaction that scalpers need. The absolute value of smoothed Pulse can be used with an adaptive gate so that only the top percentile of energy for the recent environment is eligible for entries. A small floor prevents accidental entries during very quiet periods.
Regime guards that keep the strategy selective
Three guards must all pass before any entry can occur.
Auction Balance Factor. This is the proportion of closes that land inside a mid band of the prior bar’s high to low range. High values indicate balanced chop where breakouts tend to fail. Low values indicate directional conditions. The strategy requires ABF to sit below a user chosen maximum.
Dispersion via a Gini style measure on absolute returns. Very low dispersion means bars are small and uniform. Very high dispersion means a few outsized bars dominate and slippage risk can be elevated. The strategy allows the user to require the dispersion measure to remain inside a band that reflects healthy activity.
Binary entropy of direction. Over the core window, the proportion of up closes is used to compute a simple entropy. Values near one indicate coin flip behaviour. Values near zero indicate one sided sequences. The guard requires entropy below a ceiling so that random directionality does not produce noise entries.
An optional directional filter asks that a fast and a slow exponential average agree on direction and that their gap, when divided by an average true range, exceed a threshold. This filter can be enabled on symbols that trend cleanly and disabled when the composite entry is already selective enough.
Risk sizing with symmetric spans
Instead of fixed points or a pure ATR multiplier, the strategy sizes stops and targets from a pair of spans. The upward span reflects recent untraded distance above the market. The downward span reflects recent untraded distance below the market. Each span is floored by a fallback that comes from the maximum of a short simple range average and a standard average true range. A tick based floor prevents microscopic stops on instruments with high tick precision. An asymmetry cap prevents one span from becoming many times larger than the other. For long entries the stop is a multiple of the downward span and the target is a multiple of the upward span. For short entries the stop is a multiple of the upward span and the target is a multiple of the downward span. This creates a risk box that is symmetric by construction yet adaptive to recent voids and gaps.
Execution, ties, and housekeeping
Entries evaluate at bar close. Exits are tested from the next bar forward. If both stop and target are hit within the same bar, the outcome can be resolved in a consistent way that favors the stop or the target according to a single user setting. A short cooldown in bars prevents flip flops. Users can restrict entries to specific sessions such as London and New York. The chart renders entry, stop, and target lines for each trade so that every action is visible. The table in the top right shows trade counts, take profit and stop counts, win rate, average R per trade, and profit factor for the whole set and by direction.
Defaults and responsible backtesting
The default properties in the script use a realistic initial capital and commission value. Users should also set slippage in the strategy properties to reflect their broker and symbol. Small timeframe trading is sensitive to friction and the strategy description does not claim immunity to that reality. The strategy is intended to be tested on a dataset that produces a meaningful sample of trades. A sample in the range of a hundred trades or more is preferred because variance in short samples can be large. On thin symbols or periods with little regular trading, users should either change timeframe, change sessions, or use more selective thresholds so that the sample contains only liquid scenarios.
Universal usage across markets
The strategy is universal by design. It will run and produce lines on any open high low close series on TradingView. The composite entry is made of normalized parts. The regime guards use proportions and bounded measures. The spans use untraded distance and range floors measured in the local price scale. This allows the same logic to function on a currency pair, a commodity, an index future, a stock, or a crypto pair. What changes is calibration.
A safe approach for universal use is as follows.
Start with the default signal length and wick weight.
If the chart prints many weak signals, enable the directional filter and raise the normalized gap threshold slightly.
If the chart is too quiet, lower the adaptive percentile or, with adaptive off, lower the fixed pulse threshold by a small amount.
If stops are too tight in quiet regimes, raise the fallback span multiplier or raise the minimum tick floor in ticks.
If you observe long one sided days, lower the maximum entropy slightly so that entries only occur when directionality is genuine rather than alternating.
Because the logic is bounded and local, these simple steps carry over across symbols. That is why the strategy can be used literally on any asset that you can load on a TradingView chart. The code does not depend on a specific tick size or a specific exchange calendar. It will still remain true that symbols with higher spread or fewer regular trading hours demand stricter thresholds and larger floors.
Suggested parameter ranges for common cases
These ranges are guidelines for one to five minute bars. They are not promises of performance. They reflect the balance between having enough signals to learn from and keeping noise controlled.
Signal length between 18 and 34 for liquid commodities and large capitalization equities.
Wick weight between 0.30 and 0.50 depending on whether you want reversal recognition or close momentum.
Adaptive gate percentile between 85 and 93 when adaptive is enabled. Fixed threshold between 0.10 and 0.18 when adaptive is disabled. Use a non zero floor so very quiet periods still require some energy.
Auction Balance Factor maximum near 0.70 for symbols with clear session bursts. Slightly higher if you prefer to include more balanced prints.
Dispersion band with a lower bound near 0.18 and an upper bound near 0.68 for most session instruments. Tighten the band if you want to skip very bursty days or very flat days.
Entropy maximum near 0.90 so coin flip phases are filtered. Lower the ceiling slightly if the symbol whipsaws frequently.
Stop multiplier near one and take profit multiplier between two and three for a single target approach. Larger target multipliers reduce hit rate and lengthen holding time.
These are safe starting points across commodities, currencies, indices, equities, and crypto. From there, small increments are preferred over dramatic changes.
How to evaluate responsibly
A clean chart and a direct test process help avoid confusion. Use standard candles for signals and exits. If you use a non standard chart type such as Heikin Ashi or Renko, do so only for visualization and not for the strategy’s signal computation, as those chart types can produce unrealistic fills. Turn off other indicators on the published chart unless they are needed to demonstrate a specific property of this strategy. When you post results or discuss outcomes, include the symbol, timeframe, commission and slippage settings, and the session settings used. This makes the context clear and avoids misleading readers.
When you look at results, consider the following.
The distribution of R per trade. A positive average R with a moderate profit factor suggests that exits are sized appropriately for the symbol.
The balance between long and short sides. The HUD table separates the two so you can see if one side carries the edge for that symbol.
The sensitivity to the tie preference. If many bars hit both stop and take profit, the market is chopping inside the risk box and you may need larger floors or stricter regime guards.
The session effect. Session hours matter for many instruments. Align your session filter with where liquidity and volatility concentrate.
Known limitations and honest warnings
PulseGrid is not a guarantee of future profit. It is a systematic way to read short term structure and to size risk in a way that reflects recent path. It assumes that the data feed reflects the exchange reality. It assumes that slippage and spread are non zero and uses explicit commission and user provided slippage to approximate that. It does not place multiple targets. It does not trail stops. It is not a high frequency system and does not attempt to model queue priority or microsecond fills. On illiquid symbols or very short timeframes outside regular hours, signals will be less reliable. Users are responsible for choosing realistic settings and for evaluating whether the symbol’s conditions are suitable.
First use checklist
Load the symbol and timeframe you care about.
If the instrument has clear sessions, turn on the session filter and select realistic London and New York hours or other sessions relevant to the instrument.
Set commission and slippage in the strategy properties to values that match your broker or exchange.
Run the strategy with defaults. Look at the HUD summary and the lines.
Decide whether to enable the directional filter. If you see frequent reversals around the entry line, enable it and raise the normalized gap threshold slightly.
Adjust the adaptive gate. If the chart floods, raise the percentile. If the chart starves, lower it or use a slightly lower fixed threshold.
Adjust the fallback span multiplier and tick floor so that stops are never microscopic.
Review per session performance. If one session underperforms, restrict entries to the better one.
This simple process takes minutes and transfers to any other symbol.
Why this script is private
The source remains private so that the underlying method and its implementation details are not copied or republished. The description here is complete and self contained so that users can understand the purpose, originality, usage, and limitations without needing to inspect the source. Privacy does not change the strategy’s on chart behavior. It only protects the specific coding details.
Guarantee and compliance statements
This description does not contain advertising, solicitations, links, or contact information. It does not make performance promises. It explains how the script is original and how it works. It also warns about limitations and the need for realistic assumptions. The strategy is not investment advice and is not created only for qualified investors. It can be tested and used for educational and research purposes. Users should read TradingView’s documentation on script properties and backtesting. Users should avoid non standard chart types for signal computation because those produce unrealistic results. Users should select realistic account sizes and friction settings. Users should not post claims without showing the settings used.
Closing summary
PulseGrid is a compact framework for short timeframe trading that combines a composite entry built from multiple normalized bar features with a symmetric span model for risk. The entry adapts to volatility. The regime guards keep the strategy inactive when the tape is either too quiet or too erratic. The risk geometry respects recent untraded spans instead of arbitrary distances. The entire design is instrument agnostic. It will run on any symbol that TradingView supports and it will behave consistently across asset classes with modest tuning. Use it with a clean chart, realistic friction, and enough trades to make your evaluation meaningful. Use sessions if the instrument concentrates activity in specific hours. Adjust one control at a time and prefer small increments. The goal is not to find a magic parameter. The goal is to maintain a stable rule set that reads market structure in a way you can trust and audit.
HTF Cross Breakout [CHE] HTF Cross Breakout — Detects higher timeframe close crossovers for breakout signals, anchors VWAP for trend validation, and flags continuations or traps with visual extensions for delta percent and stop levels.
Summary
This indicator spots moments when the current chart's close price crosses a higher timeframe close, marking potential breakouts only when the current bar shows directional strength. It anchors a volume-weighted average price line from the breakout point to track trend health, updating labels to show if the move continues or reverses into a trap. Extensions add a dotted line linking the breakout level to the current close with percent change display, plus a stop-loss marker at the VWAP end. Signals gain robustness from higher timeframe confirmation and anti-repainting options, reducing noise in live bars compared to simple crossover tools.
Motivation: Why this design?
Traders often face false breakouts from intrabar wiggles on lower timeframes, especially without higher timeframe alignment, leading to whipsaws in volatile sessions. This design uses higher timeframe close as a stable reference for crossover detection, combined with anchored volume weighting to gauge sustained momentum. It addresses these by enforcing bar confirmation and directional filters, providing clearer entry validation and risk points without overcomplicating the chart.
What’s different vs. standard approaches?
Reference baseline
Standard crossover indicators like moving average crosses operate solely on the chart timeframe, ignoring higher timeframe context and lacking volume anchoring.
Architecture differences
- Higher timeframe data pulls via security calls with optional repainting control for stability.
- Anchored VWAP resets at each signal, accumulating from the breakout bar only.
- Label dynamics update in real-time for continuation checks, with extensions for visual delta and stop computation.
- Event-driven line finalization prunes old elements after a set bar extension.
Practical effect
Charts show persistent lines and labels that extend live but finalize cleanly on new events, avoiding clutter. This matters for spotting trap reversals early via label color shifts, and extensions provide quick risk visuals without manual calculations, improving decision speed in trend trades.
How it works (technical)
The indicator first determines a higher timeframe based on user selection, pulling its close price securely. It checks for crossovers or crossunders of the current close against this higher close, but only triggers on confirmed bars with matching directional opens and closes. On a valid event, a horizontal line and label mark the higher close level, while a dashed VWAP line starts accumulating typical price times volume from that bar onward. During the active phase, the breakout line extends to the current bar, the label repositions and updates text based on whether the current close holds above or below the level for bulls or bears. A background tint warns if the close deviates adversely from the current VWAP. Extensions draw a vertical dotted line at the last bar between the breakout level and close, placing a midpoint label with percent difference; separately, a label at the VWAP end shows a computed stop price. Persistent variables track the active state and accumulators, resetting on new events after briefly extending old elements. Repaint risk from security calls is mitigated by confirmed bar gating or user opt-in.
Parameter Guide
Plateau Length (reserved for future, currently unused): Sets a length for potential plateau detection in extensions; default 3, minimum 1. Higher values would increase stability but are not active yet—leave at default to avoid tuning.
Line Width: Controls thickness of breakout, VWAP, and extension lines; default 2, range 1 to 5. Thicker lines improve visibility on busy charts but may obscure price action—use 1 for clean views, 3 or more for emphasis.
+Bars after next HTF event (finalize old, then delete): Extends old lines and labels by this many bars before deletion on new signals; default 20, minimum 0. Shorter extensions keep charts tidy but risk cutting visuals prematurely; longer aids review but builds clutter over time.
Evaluate label only on HTF close (prevents gray traps intrabar): When true, label updates wait for higher timeframe confirmation; default true. Enabling reduces intrabar flips for stabler signals, though it may delay feedback—disable for faster live trading at repaint cost.
Allow Repainting: Permits real-time security data without confirmation offset; default false. False ensures historical accuracy but lags live bars; true speeds updates but can repaint on HTF closes.
Timeframe Type: Chooses HTF method—Auto Timeframe (dynamic steps up), Multiplier (chart multiple), or Manual (fixed string); default Auto Timeframe. Auto adapts to chart scale for convenience; Multiplier suits custom scaling like 5 times current; Manual for precise like 1D on any chart.
Multiplier for Alternate Resolution: Scales chart timeframe when Multiplier type selected; default 5, minimum 1. Values near 1 mimic current resolution for subtle shifts; higher like 10 jumps to broader context, increasing signal rarity.
Manual Resolution: Direct timeframe string like 60 for 1H when Manual type; default 60. Match to trading horizon—shorter for swing, longer for positional—to balance frequency and reliability.
Show Extension 1: Toggles dotted line and delta percent label between breakout level and current close; default true. Disable to simplify for basic use, enable for precise momentum tracking.
Dotted Line Width: Thickness for Extension 1 line; default 2, range 1 to 5. Align with main Line Width for consistency.
Text Size: Size for delta percent label; options tiny, small, normal, large; default normal. Smaller reduces overlap on dense charts; larger aids glance reads.
Decimals for Δ%: Precision in percent change display; default 2, range 0 to 6. Fewer decimals speed reading; more suit low-volatility assets.
Positive Δ Color: Hue for upward percent changes; default lime. Choose contrasting for visibility.
Negative Δ Color: Hue for downward percent changes; default red. Pair with positive for quick polarity scan.
Dotted Line Color: Color for Extension 1 line; default gray. Neutral tones blend well; brighter for emphasis.
Background Transparency (0..100): Opacity for delta label background; default 90. Higher values fade for subtlety; lower solidifies for readability.
Show Extension 2: Toggles stop-loss label at VWAP end; default true. Turn off for entry focus only.
Stop Method: Percent from VWAP end or fixed ticks; options Percent, Ticks; default Percent. Percent scales with price levels; Ticks suits tick-based instruments.
Stop %: Distance as fraction of VWAP for Percent method; default 1.0, step 0.05, minimum 0.0. Tighter like 0.5 reduces risk but increases stops; wider like 2.0 allows breathing room.
Stop Ticks: Tick count offset for Ticks method; default 20, minimum 0. Adjust per asset volatility—fewer for tight control.
Price Decimals: Rounding for stop price text; default 4, range 0 to 10. Match syminfo.precision for clean display.
Text Size: Size for stop label; options tiny, small, normal, large; default normal. Scale to chart zoom.
Text Color: Foreground for stop text; default white. Ensure contrast with background.
Inherit VWAP Color (BG tint): Bases stop label background on VWAP hue; default true. True maintains theme; false allows custom black base.
BG Transparency (0..100): Opacity for stop label background; default 0. Zero for no tint; up to 100 for full fade.
Reading & Interpretation
Breakout lines appear green for bullish crosses or red for bearish, extending live until a new event finalizes them briefly then deletes. Labels start blank, updating to Bull Cont. or Bear Cont. in matching colors if holding the level, or gray Bull Trap/Bear Trap on reversal. VWAP dashes yellow for bulls, orange for bears, sloping with accumulated volume weight—deviations trigger faint red background warnings. Extension 1's dotted vertical shows at the last bar, with midpoint label green/red for positive/negative percent from breakout to close. Extension 2 places a left-aligned label at VWAP end with stop price and method note, tinted to VWAP for context.
Practical Workflows & Combinations
For trend following, enter long on green Bull Cont. labels above VWAP with higher highs confirmation, filtering via rising structure; short on red Bear Cont. below. Pair with volume surges or RSI above 50 for bulls to avoid traps. For exits, trail stops using the Extension 2 level, tightening on warnings or gray labels—aggressive on continuations, conservative post-trap. In multi-timeframe setups, use default Auto on 15m charts for 1H signals, scaling multiplier to 4 for daily context on hourly; test on forex/stocks where volume is reliable, avoiding low-liquidity assets.
Behavior, Constraints & Performance
Signals confirm on bar close with HTF gating when strict mode active, but live bars may update if repainting enabled—opt false for backtest fidelity, true for intraday speed. Security calls risk minor repaints on HTF closes, mitigated by confirmation offsets. Resources cap at 1000 bars back, 50 lines/labels total, with event prunes to stay under budgets—no loops, minimal arrays. Limits include VWAP lag in low-volume periods and dependency on accurate HTF data; gaps or holidays may skew anchors.
Sensible Defaults & Quick Tuning
Defaults suit 5m-1H charts on liquid assets: Auto HTF, no repaint, 1% stops. For choppy markets with excess signals, enable strict eval and bump multiplier to 10 for rarer triggers. If sluggish in trends, shorten extend bars to 10 and allow repainting for quicker visuals. On high-vol like crypto, widen stop % to 2.0 and use Ticks method; for stables like indices, tighten to 0.5% and keep Percent.
What this indicator is—and isn’t
This is a signal visualization layer for breakout confirmation and basic risk marking, best as a filter in discretionary setups. It isn’t a standalone system or predictive oracle—combine with price structure, news awareness, and sizing rules for real edges.

SSMT [TakingProphets]SSMT (Sequential SMT) — multi-cycle intermarket divergence with quarter-based timing
Purpose
Informational overlay that detects intermarket SMT divergences between the chart symbol and a user-selected correlated symbol. It does not generate buy/sell signals and is not financial advice. Use it to structure analysis and alerts, not to automate trades.
What it does
Scans for SMT on five coordinated cycles: Micro, 90-Minute, Daily (Q1–Q4), Weekly, Monthly.
Draws anchored lines and labels where divergences occur and keeps them after the period ends so you can use historical SMTs as context.
Offers per-cycle alerts (high-side/bearish, low-side/bullish).
Optional session/quarter boxes for timing context.
Time base uses America/New_York to align with common session conventions (with a 17:00–18:00 ET pause guard for CME instruments).
Why these modules belong together (more than a mashup)
All cycles share a single time-partitioning framework (quarters/sessions → day → week → month). That common clock means:
Comparability: divergences on Micro/90m/D/W/M are directly comparable because they’re computed with the same boundaries for both instruments.
Sequencing: higher-cycle context can gate lower-cycle events (e.g., a Daily Q3 divergence framing how you treat a Micro divergence).
Persistence: drawings retain the cycle identity (e.g., , ) so prior signals remain interpretable as the market progresses.
This is a coherent engine—not separate indicators pasted together—because detection, labeling, alerts, and persistence are all driven by the same quarter/period state machine.
How it works (high-level mechanics)
Time partitioning
Daily quarters (ET):
Q1: 18:00–00:00
Q2: 00:00–06:00
Q3: 06:00–12:00
Q4: 12:00–18:00
90-Minute cycle: four 90-minute blocks inside the active session.
Micro cycle: finer 20–22 minute blocks inside the session for granular timing.
Weekly/Monthly: tracked by calendar periods (Mon–Fri, and calendar month).
Pause guard: 17:00–18:00 ET to avoid false transitions during CME’s daily maintenance window.
State tracking (per cycle)
Tracks previous vs. current highs/lows for the chart symbol and the correlated symbol (fetched at the same timeframe).
Maintains cycle IDs (e.g., year*100 + weekofyear for weekly) so drawings remain tied to the originating period.
Divergence condition (SMT)
High-side (bearish): one instrument makes a higher high vs. its previous period while the other does not.
Low-side (bullish): one instrument makes a lower low vs. its previous period while the other does not.
When detected, the script plots a labeled span/line (e.g., SSMT w/ES) and records it for persistence.
Alerts
Two per cycle: High-side (bearish) and Low-side (bullish).
Fire on the bar where the condition first becomes true.
Inputs & customization
Correlated symbol (default can be an index future).
Cycle toggles: Micro, 90m, Daily (Q1–Q4), Weekly, Monthly.
Styling: line color/width, label text/size.
Session/quarter boxes: on/off.
Alerts: per-cycle SMT events on/off.
How to use
Add the indicator to your chart (e.g., NQ, ES) and select a correlated symbol.
Turn on the cycles you want to monitor; optionally enable quarter/session boxes.
Interpret SMTs by side:
High-side (bearish): chart makes HH, correlated does not.
Low-side (bullish): chart makes LL, correlated does not.
Set alerts for the cycles that matter to your workflow.
Combine with your higher-timeframe narrative and risk rules.
Repainting, timing, and limitations
Uses higher-timeframe data without look-ahead; values can update intrabar until the period closes.
SMTs may form and resolve within a period; conservative users may wait for period close.
Assumes America/New_York timing; very thin markets may yield fewer or noisier signals.
SMT quality depends on the benchmark you select; correlations vary across regimes.
Educational tool only. No performance claims; not a signal generator.
Originality & scope (for protected/invite-only publications)
A multi-cycle SMT engine built on a shared quarter/period state machine (Micro → 90m → Daily Q1–Q4 → Weekly → Monthly).
Quarter-aware persistence keeps divergence drawings tied to their source cycle for durable context.
CME pause handling and stable calendar IDs make detections consistent across sessions and rollovers.
Implements SMT through extremum sequencing and cross-instrument comparison rather than wrapping generic divergence indicators.
CRT [TakingProphets]CRT (Candle Range Theory) — HTF context overlay with alerts
Purpose
Informational overlay to structure higher-timeframe (HTF) context. It does not generate buy/sell signals and is not financial advice. Use it to organize analysis and alerts—not to automate trades.
What it does
Projects HTF candles (1m → 1M) on any lower timeframe so the big picture stays on the chart.
Detects CRT transitions on the HTF (bullish/bearish “failed continuation” pattern).
Evaluates SMT divergence vs. a user-selected correlated instrument on the same HTF (historical & real-time).
Extends live HTF Open/High/Low/Close as developing reference levels.
Concepts (what it looks for)
Candle Range Theory (CRT) — a 3-bar HTF pattern where candle 2 fails to continue candle 1’s move:
Bearish CRT: candle 2 trades above candle 1’s high but closes back inside candle 1’s range and does not break its low.
Bullish CRT: candle 2 trades below candle 1’s low but closes back inside candle 1’s range and does not break its high.
SMT divergence (intermarket) — compares HTF swing extremes between the chart symbol and a correlated symbol:
Bearish SMT: one makes a higher high while the other does not.
Bullish SMT: one makes a lower low while the other does not.
Checked in two modes: historical (between the two last closed HTF bars) and real-time (last closed vs. current forming HTF bar).
How the elements work together (integration, not a mashup)
All modules share one HTF time base, so annotations describe the same segment of price action. The overlay produces an explicit context state by sequencing the modules in this order:
HTF Projection → Structural Frame
The last three HTF candles are drawn (bodies+wicks). This creates the “canvas” the rest of the logic references (ranges, highs/lows, and time boundaries).
CRT Test → Directional Bias Candidate
The script evaluates the 3-bar CRT conditions on those exact HTF candles (not lower-TF approximations).
If conditions are forming on the current HTF bar, status is CRT Forming.
If they complete on the close, status becomes CRT Confirmed (Bullish/Bearish).
SMT Check → Confirmation/Stress-Test on the Same HTF
Using the same HTF window, the tool compares swing progress with the correlated symbol.
Historical SMT comments on whether the prior HTF segment’s push had intermarket agreement.
Real-time SMT comments on the current forming push.
This lets you confirm a CRT bias (e.g., Bearish CRT + Bearish SMT) or challenge it (e.g., Bullish CRT but Bearish SMT).
Live HTF OHLC → Actionable Reference Levels
The current HTF Open/High/Low/Close are extended as levels. These are the decision rails you’ll typically use to judge follow-through, failure, mitigation, or targets in the same CRT/SMT context.
Resulting context states (what you’ll see in alerts/labels):
Neutral (no CRT; SMT may still inform context).
CRT Forming (monitor): HTF push is underway; watch real-time SMT into HTF High/Low/Close projections.
CRT Confirmed (bias): HTF failure pattern locked; use projections as reference for continuation/invalidations.
CRT + SMT Aligned (confluence): CRT direction agrees with SMT; strongest context.
CRT vs. SMT Mixed (caution): bias exists but intermarket is disagreeing; treat levels as potential fade zones.
Why this is not a mashup
Every module is computed and plotted in the same HTF coordinate system, so signals are about one thing: the current HTF segment.
CRT provides the bias hypothesis, SMT provides a cross-market test of that hypothesis in the same window, and live OHLC projections supply the exact levels used to act on or fade that hypothesis.
Alerts are tied to state transitions (e.g., CRT forming → confirmed; SMT flip), not to unrelated features.
Mechanics (high-level)
HTF Projection: pulls HTF OHLC/time for the last three HTF bars and renders body boxes + wicks; optional time labels adapt to intraday vs D/W/M.
CRT Labels: when the three-bar conditions are met, prints BULLISH CRT or BEARISH CRT on the HTF stack.
SMT Lines: draws labeled diagonals across the relevant HTF pair for historical and real-time checks using your correlated symbol.
Live Levels: extends the current HTF Open/High/Low/Close horizontally; anchors are deterministic (Open = first bar, High/Low = first occurrence, Close = current bar).
Inputs & customization
HTF timeframe: 1m–1M.
Display: candle width/opacity, borders/wicks, time labels (12h/24h).
SMT: enable/disable, correlated symbol, line style/width, optional labels.
Projections: enable/disable, left extension (bars), per-level styling and price labels.
Alerts: switches for CRT, SMT-historical, SMT-real-time.
Alerts (workflow prompts)
Bullish/Bearish CRT detected on the selected HTF.
Bullish/Bearish SMT (historical) between the two last closed HTF bars.
Bullish/Bearish SMT (real-time) between the last closed and current forming HTF bar.
Suggested text includes the HTF and current context state so you know if CRT and SMT are aligned or mixed.
Example use
Bearish scenario: A Bearish CRT confirms on the 4H; soon after, real-time SMT (bearish) appears while price probes the projected 4H High. Context = CRT + SMT Aligned → treat the projected Open/Close as near-term objectives.
Mixed scenario: A Bullish CRT forms on 1H, but historical SMT (bearish) printed in the prior segment. Context = Mixed → continue to monitor real-time SMT and projected Low for possible invalidation.
Notes & limitations
HTF values are provisional until the HTF bar closes; labels/lines can update while forming.
SMT depends on the correlated symbol you select; relationships vary by market/regime.
Session gaps/illiquid hours can distort extremes and time labels.
Educational tool: no performance claims, no entry/exit signals.
Originality & scope (for protected/invite-only publications)
A unified HTF projection → CRT test → SMT check → live level pipeline that yields explicit context states instead of separate, unrelated overlays.
Formal CRT detection performed on actual HTF bars (not lower-TF approximations).
Dual-mode SMT tied to the same HTF windows (historical + real-time), plotted as labeled span lines.

Prophet Model [TakingProphets]The Prophet Model — context pipeline (HTF PDA → Sweep → CISD → EPE) with dynamic risk
Purpose
Informational overlay for organizing institutional context in real time. It does not issue buy/sell signals and is not financial advice. Use it to structure analysis and checklist-driven execution—not to automate decisions.
What it does (modules at a glance)
Projects HTF PD Arrays (FVGs) onto your current chart and maintains only the nearest active array.
Validates directional bias using Candle Range Theory (CRT) on the same HTF.
Tracks Liquidity Sweeps (BSL/SSL) on HTF-aware pivots.
Confirms Change in State of Delivery (CISD) via displacement after a sweep.
Optionally refines entries with EPE when a local (internal) imbalance forms right after CISD.
Derives dynamic TP/BE/SL from measured displacement and recent extremes (not fixed distances).
Keeps a rules checklist (PDA tap → CRT → Sweep → CISD) and a relationships table (common HTF↔LTF pairings) to enforce process.
How it works (integration, not a mashup)
The modules are sequenced on one HTF time base so each step gates the next:
HTF PD Arrays (context zone). The model identifies valid HTF FVGs, filters tiny/weekend gaps, removes arrays that are invalidated by clean trades-through, and persists only the nearest PDA. This focuses attention on the institutional zone most likely to matter now.
CRT (directional gating). CRT on the same HTF establishes a provisional bias. No entries are implied; CRT simply permits or forbids the following steps. If CRT disagrees with the PDA context, the checklist remains incomplete.
Liquidity Sweep (event). The model tracks HTF-aware BSL/SSL pivots. A sweep only “counts” if it occurs in relation to the active PDA (tap/engagement). This prevents generic swing-high/low tags from triggering downstream logic.
CISD (confirmation). After a qualified sweep, the tool looks for displacement through the sequence open (the open of the impulsive leg beginning at or immediately after the sweep). Crossing that threshold confirms CISD, which marks a structural delivery shift consistent with the CRT bias.
EPE (refinement, optional). Immediately following CISD, the model scans for a fresh internal imbalance. If found quickly, it promotes that price area as the Easiest Point of Entry (EPE) and relabels the reference. If not, the CISD level remains primary.
Dynamic risk levels. TP/BE/SL are derived from the measured displacement around the CISD leg (e.g., BE ≈ 1× leg, TP ≈ 2.25× stretch; SL aligned to nearby structural extremes rather than a fixed pip offset). Levels update with structure and can display prices.
By chaining PDA → CRT → Sweep → CISD → (EPE) → Risk on a single HTF backbone, the tool creates a coherent workflow where later signals simply do not appear without earlier context. That’s why this is not a bundle of independent features: each module’s output is another module’s input.
Concepts & operational rules (high level)
HTF PD Arrays (FVGs)
Uses a standard three-candle gap definition on the chosen HTF, with filters for weekend/tiny gaps.
Inverse mitigation: if price trades cleanly through an array, the box is removed and internal state resets.
Nearest-PDA persistence: when multiple arrays exist, only the closest remains visible to reduce clutter.
Optional right-extension draws lingering influence X bars forward.
Candle Range Theory (CRT)
Bullish CRT: candle 2 wicks below candle 1’s low but closes back inside candle 1’s range, without taking its high.
Bearish CRT: candle 2 wicks above candle 1’s high but closes back inside candle 1’s range, without taking its low.
Role: bias validation paired to CISD when alignments match the active PDA.
Liquidity Sweeps (BSL/SSL)
Tracks candidate HTF pivots as buy-/sell-side liquidity.
A sweep registers when price takes a tracked pivot in the vicinity of the active PDA.
CISD (Change in State of Delivery)
Finds the sequence open for the impulsive leg that begins at/after the sweep.
Bearish path (after BSL sweep): CISD when close < sequence-open.
Bullish path (after SSL sweep): CISD when close > sequence-open.
On confirmation, the model plots a CISD line, checks the box in the Strategy Checklist, and triggers risk calc.
EPE (Easiest Point of Entry)
Within a short window after CISD, scans for a local imbalance; if present, promotes that level as EPE.
If no imbalance forms, CISD remains the operative reference.
Dynamic TP / BE / SL
Built from the measured leg around CISD (not fixed pip steps).
Approximate geometry: BE ≈ 1× leg, TP ≈ 2.25× leg; SL respects nearby structural extremes.
Labels and price markers are optional.
Architecture notes
Maps the current chart to a higher timeframe (e.g., 15s→M5, M1→M15, M5→H1, M15→H4, H1→D, H4→W, D→M).
Retrieves HTF OHLC/time with no lookahead so structures update intrabar until the HTF bar closes.
Periodic cleanup clears obsolete lines/labels/boxes to keep charts responsive.
Inputs (summary)
FVGs/PD Arrays: show/hide, colors, borders, label size, right-extension, nearest-only toggle.
CRT: enable/disable, label style.
Sweeps/CISD/EPE: enable/disable, line/label styles, EPE window.
Risk Levels (TP/BE/SL): enable each, price labels on/off, colors.
Tables/Checklist: strategy checklist on/off; relationships table (common HTF↔LTF pairings); text sizes and header colors.
Alerts (optional)
You may add alertconditions aligned with these events in your own workspace:
HTF PDA tap (bullish/bearish box)
CRT detected (bullish/bearish)
CISD confirmed (bullish/bearish)
EPE set/updated
Example messages:
“Prophet: CISD confirmed on {{ticker}} / {{interval}}”
“Prophet: EPE refined at {{close}} ({{time}})”
Notes & limitations
HTF values are provisional until the HTF bar closes; labels/levels can update while forming.
CISD/EPE are live conditions; they can form and later invalidate within the same HTF bar.
Liquidity relationships vary by market/regime; thin sessions and large gaps can affect clarity.
Educational tool only. No performance claims; no trade signals.
Originality & scope (for protected/invite-only publications)
A single HTF-synchronized engine sequences PDA → CRT → Sweep → CISD → (EPE) and withholds later steps unless prerequisites are met.
Nearest-PDA persistence and inverse-mitigation enforce focus on the most relevant institutional zone.
Displacement-based risk math ties TP/BE/SL to structure instead of static offsets.
Checklist + relationships table promote consistent, rules-first behavior and reduce discretionary drift.

HTF Candles [TakingProphets]HTF Candles — higher-timeframe structure, SMT divergence, and live OHLC projections
Purpose
Informational overlay to keep higher-timeframe (HTF) context visible on a lower-timeframe chart. It does not generate buy/sell signals and is not financial advice. Use it to structure analysis and alerts, not to automate trading.
What it does
HTF candle visualization (up to 10 candles, optional right-side offset) with bodies, wicks, and time labels.
SMT divergence checks on the chosen HTF—both historical (last two completed HTF bars) and real-time (last closed vs. current forming bar) vs. a user-selected correlated symbol (default can be an index future).
Live HTF OHLC projections: forward-extending Open / High / Low / Close from the current HTF bar with optional price labels and styling.
HTF close timer (optional) to show when the active HTF candle ends.
Why these modules belong together (more than a mashup)
This overlay uses one HTF time base to align three lenses of the same context:
Candle projection provides the structural frame (ranges and bodies of true HTF bars).
SMT divergence provides intermarket confirmation/invalidations on that same HTF, so the divergence you see is directly comparable to the projected candles.
Live OHLC projections turn the current HTF bar’s evolving state into concrete reference levels for intraday decisions.
Because all three share the same HTF clock and data source, alerts and drawings change together when the HTF state actually changes. The intent is a coherent workflow tool where each module gates the others (structure → confirmation → actionable references), rather than separate indicators merely co-plotted.
How it works (high-level)
Timeframe mapping & data
You choose an HTF (1m–1M). The script retrieves HTF OHLC/time without look-ahead. Objects update intrabar until the HTF bar closes.
Candle rendering
Up to 10 recent HTF candles are drawn as body boxes with wicks.
A horizontal offset/spacing option places the stack right of the current price for clarity.
Visuals (colors, transparency, borders, wick width, label size/format 12h/24h) are configurable.
SMT divergence (historical & real-time)
Compares HTF highs/lows of your chart vs. a correlated symbol using the same HTF.
Bearish SMT (high-side): one makes a higher high while the other does not.
Bullish SMT (low-side): one makes a lower low while the other does not.
Historical mode compares HTF → HTF ; real-time mode compares HTF → HTF as the current HTF bar forms.
Optional lines/labels mark where the divergence is detected.
Live OHLC projections
Extends the current HTF Open / High / Low / Close forward as horizontal lines.
Anchors: Open = first bar of the HTF period; High/Low = first occurrence of each extreme inside the period; Close = current bar.
Each level has independent toggles for price labels, style, and width.
Alerts (workflow prompts)
Bullish SMT, Bearish SMT, Bullish Real-time SMT, Bearish Real-time SMT.
Fire on the bar where the condition first becomes true.
Inputs & customization
Timeframe: select HTF (1m–1M).
Display: number of candles (1–10), right-offset, candle width, transparency, time labels on/off (12h/24h), label size, HTF close timer on/off.
Visuals: bullish/bearish body colors, border color, wick color.
SMT: enable/disable, correlated symbol, line style/width, labels on/off, alerts on/off.
Projections: enable/disable, per-level toggles (Open/High/Low/Close), color/style/width, optional price labels.
Notes & limitations
HTF values are provisional until the HTF bar closes; lines/labels can update during formation.
SMT usefulness depends on the correlated symbol you select; relationships vary by market/regime.
Session gaps/low liquidity can affect extremes and time labels.
Educational tool only. No performance claims and no trade signals.
Originality & scope (for protected/invite-only publications)
A single HTF-synchronized engine: candle projection, dual-mode SMT, and live OHLC projections all computed from the same HTF series to ensure consistent timing and interpretation.
Real-time SMT explicitly ties the developing HTF bar to the prior closed bar, reducing ambiguity vs. generic divergence checks.
Projection anchoring (first-occurrence rules for H/L, period start for Open, current bar for Close) provides deterministic, reproducible reference levels.
Measured Pattern Move (Bulkowski) [SS]Hey everyone,
This is the Measured Pattern Move using Bulkowski's process for measured move calculation.
What the indicator does:
The indicator has the associated measured move across 20 of the most common and frequent Bulkowski patterns, including:
Double Bottom / Adam Eve Bottom
Double Top / Adam Eve Top
Inverse Head and Shoulders
Bear Flag
Bull Flag
Horn Bottom
Horon Top
Broadening Top
Descending Broadening Wedge
Broadening Bottoms
Broadening Tops
Cup and Handle
Inverted cup and handle
Diamond Bottom
Diamond Top
Falling Wedge
Rising Wedge
Pipe Bottom
Pipe Top
Head and Shoulders
It will calculate the measured move according to the Bulkowski process.
What is the Bulkowski Process?
Each move has an associated continuation percentage, which Bulkowski has studied, analyzed and concluded statistically.
For example, Double tops have a continuation percent of 54%. Bear flags, 47%. These are "constants" that are associated with the pattern.
Bulkowski applies them to the daily, but how I have formulated this, it can be used on all timeframes, and with the constant, it will correctly calculate the measured move of the pattern.
What this indicator DOES NOT DO
This indicator will not identify the pattern for you.
I tried this using Dynamic Time Warping (DTW) using my own pre-trained Bulkowski model in R. I was successfully able to get Pinescript to calculate DTW which was amazing! But applying it to all these patterns actually went over the execution time limit, which is understandable.
As such, you will need to identify the pattern yourself, then use this indicator to hilight the pattern and it will calculate the measured move based on the constant and the pattern range.
Let's look at some examples:
Use examples
Double bottom / adam eve bottom on SPY on the 1-Minute chart
Adam and Eve Double Bottom QQQ 1-Hour Chart
Adam Eve Double Bottom MSFT Daily Chart
Bearish Head and Shoulders Pattern MSFT Daily
You get the point.
How to use the indicator
To use the indicator, identify the pattern of interest to you.
Then, highlight the pattern using the indicator (it will ask you to select start time of the pattern and end time of the pattern). The indicator will then highlight the pattern and calculate the measured move, as seen in the examples above.
Best approaches
To make the most of the indicator, its best to draw out your pattern and wait for an actual break, the point of the break is usually the end of the pattern formation.
From here, you will then apply this indicator to calculate the expected up or down move.
Let me show you an example:
Here we see CME_MINI:ES1! has made an Adam bottom pattern. We know the Eve should be forming soon and it indeed does:
We mark the top of the pattern like so:
Then we use our Measured move indicator to calculate the measured move:
Measured move here for CME_MINI:ES1! is 6,510.
Now let's see....
Voila!
Selecting the Pattern
After you highlight the selected pattern, in the indicator settings, simply select the type of pattern it is, for example "head and shoulders" or "Broadening wedge", etc.
The indicator will then adjust its measurements to the appropriate constant and direction.
Concluding remarks
That is the indicator!
It is helpful for determining the actual projected move of a pattern on breakout.
Remember, it does not find the pattern for you , you are responsible for identifying the pattern. But this will calculate the actual TP of the pattern for you, without you having to do your own calculations.
I hope you find it useful, I actually use this indicator every day, especially on the lower timeframes!
And you will find, the more you use it, the better you get at recognizing significant patterns!
If you are not aware of these patterns, Bulkowski lists all of this information freely accessible on his website. I cannot link it here but you can just Google him and he has graciously made his information public and free!
That's it, I hope you enjoy and safe trades!
