☑ Exit on opposite signal
☑ Exit when price closes beyond Short SMA
You may enable one, both, or neither.
If both are enabled, the strategy exits on whichever condition occurs first.
✅ Terminology Clarity
All labels, inputs, and alerts now use semantic naming:
Short SMA (formerly 13 SMA)
Long SMA (formerly 30 SMA)
This makes the strategy easier to understand and future-proof if SMA lengths are changed.
✅ Full-Capital Position Sizing
Each trade uses 100% of available equity, allowing performance to naturally compound over time during backtests.

ZOE IFVG+his indicator combines the original ICT Inversion Fair Value Gap (iFVG) Detector by ote618 with a manual checklist panel for trade analysis.
Features:
ICT iFVG Detector
Automatically identifies bullish and bearish inversion fair value gaps (iFVGs) based on 3-candle formation logic.
Draws colored boxes on the chart to highlight confirmed iFVG zones.
Sends optional alerts when iFVGs are confirmed, respecting your selected timeframe.
Works exactly like the original ote618 iFVG script, with no modifications to the core detection logic.
Manual Checklist Panel
Displays a customizable checklist to track key market factors:
Liquidity Sweep
HTF FVG
V-Shape Recovery
Inversion FVG
Clear Opposite DOL
SMT Divergence
Assigns a score and grade (A+ to F) based on selected conditions.
Panel position and background can be customized.
Allows traders to visually track trade quality alongside iFVG zones.
Usage:
Use the iFVG boxes to identify high-probability zones for entries and liquidity hunts.
Use the manual checklist to evaluate trades based on additional criteria, creating a structured workflow for market analysis.
Fully compatible with your existing iFVG workflow — the core detection and alerts remain unchanged.
Ideal For:
Traders following ICT concepts, liquidity hunts, and structure-based strategies who want to combine automated FVG detection with a manual trade-quality checklist.
Institutional Ghost Protocol - FINAL EXECUTION"This is a private institutional-grade indicator designed for high-precision entries. It combines EMA 8/80 crossovers with directional RSI (65/35), ATR volatility confirmation, and Open Interest flow. Optimized for Binance Perpetual Markets with specific Webhook integration for automated execution."
Multi-Metric Market Regime Detector - [KK]This indicator identifies current market behavioral regimes by synthesizing six complementary analytical methodologies. Rather than generating trading signals, it provides contextual analysis to help traders understand market conditions and adapt their strategies accordingly.
Markets cycle through distinct behavioral states - trending efficiently, consolidating in ranges, compressing before breakouts, or transitioning between states. This tool quantifies these conditions using only price action data (OHLC), enabling traders to filter strategies based on current market structure.
Core Methodology
The indicator combines six independent metrics into a weighted composite classification system:
Efficiency Ratio (30% weight)
Measures the signal-to-noise ratio of price movement by comparing net price displacement to total path traveled. High efficiency indicates clean directional movement; low efficiency indicates choppy, noisy conditions.
Choppiness Index (25% weight)
Quantifies whether the market is trending or consolidating by comparing cumulative True Range to actual price range. Values below 38.2 suggest trending behavior; values above 61.8 suggest range-bound consolidation.
Volatility Analysis (20% weight)
Detects compression and expansion cycles using the relationship between Bollinger Bands and Keltner Channels. Compression phases (squeeze conditions) often precede significant directional moves.
Fractal Efficiency Proxy (10% weight)
Analyzes path complexity by comparing net displacement to cumulative range, providing insight into the smoothness versus randomness of price action.
Market Structure (15% weight)
Examines pivot point sequences to identify structural trends. Higher Highs and Higher Lows indicate bullish structure; Lower Lows and Lower Highs indicate bearish structure.
Wick-to-Body Ratio Analysis (qualitative)
Identifies rejection and indecision patterns by measuring the proportion of candle wicks to bodies, highlighting potential reversal zones or liquidity events.
Regime Classifications
The composite scoring system produces four distinct regime states:
TRENDING : High efficiency, low choppiness, clear directional structure. Favorable conditions for momentum and trend-following strategies.
CHOPPY/RANGE : Low efficiency, high choppiness, mean-reverting behavior. Favorable conditions for range trading and counter-trend setups.
COMPRESSION : Volatility squeeze detected, market coiling. Anticipate expansion; reduce position size until breakout confirmation.
TRANSITION : Mixed signals, conflicting metrics, unclear direction. Recommended to reduce exposure and wait for regime clarity.
Visual Features
Regime-Colored Candles (enabled by default)
Candles are colored according to the current regime state for immediate visual identification. Green indicates trending, gray indicates choppy, orange indicates compression, and yellow indicates transition.
Comprehensive Metrics Table (top right)
Displays real-time values for all six metrics along with individual regime assessments and the final composite classification with score.
Regime Guide Table (middle right)
Quick reference guide showing recommended strategies and actions to avoid for each regime state.
Chart Label ( optional)
Summary label displaying current regime and key metric values.
Background Coloring (optional)
Alternative visualization using background colors instead of candle coloring.
Indicator Plots (optional)
Displays Efficiency Ratio and Choppiness Index with threshold reference lines.
Customization Options
All calculation parameters are adjustable:
- Efficiency Ratio lookback period and thresholds
- Choppiness Index length and classification thresholds
- Volatility analysis parameters (BB/KC multipliers and lengths)
- Pivot detection sensitivity (left/right bars)
- Text size controls for both tables (Tiny to Huge)
- Visual element toggles (candles, background, label, tables, plots)
The indicator automatically detects chart theme (dark/light) and adjusts text colors for optimal readability.
Practical Application
This is a context tool, not a signal generator. Use it to:
- Filter trend-following strategies to trending regimes only
- Identify range-bound conditions for mean-reversion setups
- Anticipate breakout opportunities during compression phases
- Reduce exposure during transitional periods with mixed signals
- Improve risk management by matching position size to regime clarity
The indicator works on all timeframes and instruments using only OHLC data. Higher timeframes generally provide more stable regime classifications.
Alert Conditions
Four alert types are available:
- Efficiency Ratio crosses trend threshold
- Choppiness Index enters range territory
- Volatility squeeze released
- Regime state change detected
Technical Notes
Built with Pine Script v5. Uses up to 500 bars of historical data for stable calculations. All metrics are calculated in real-time with no repainting on confirmed pivots. Compatible with all chart themes through adaptive text coloring.
Disclaimer

cd_bias_profile_Cxcd_bias_profile Cx
Overview:
cd_bias_profile_Cx is an all-in-one professional analysis terminal designed to determine market direction (Bias) based on institutional trading strategies (SMC & ICT). This tool integrates multi-timeframe (MTF) data, institutional liquidity sweeps, SMT divergences, and candle closure confirmations into a single cohesive structure, providing traders with a comprehensive map of institutional Order Flow.
🚀 Advanced Hierarchical Profile Architecture
The indicator visualizes the market through a three-layered hierarchy (Major, Middle, Plot), allowing you to see exactly which higher-tier structure the current price action is serving.
• Smart Timeframe (Auto-TF) Logic: In "Auto" mode, the system automatically selects the most logical hierarchy based on your chart interval using the following sequence:
.
o Example Scenario: If your chart is set to 5-Minute (5m):
Major (Macro Structure): H4 (The outermost container candle)
Middle (Intermediate Structure): H1 (Mid-scale candle)
Plot (Local Structure): 15m (The smallest nested high-timeframe candle)
• Nested Candle Design: Each high-timeframe candle is rendered as transparent boxes with specific body colors, encapsulating the lower-tier price action (OHLC) within it.
• Cyclical Refresh: Profile drawings reset automatically at the opening of every new Major timeframe candle. This ensures the analysis remains focused on the freshest institutional cycle.
🧠 Bias Algorithm & Decision Mechanism
To eliminate subjective interpretation, the algorithm operates on a purely mathematical logic based solely on Candle Closures (Close). It generates three distinct outcomes:
1. Reversal:
o Condition 1: A liquidity Sweep must occur at the HTF level.
o Condition 2 (SMT Confirmation): If no sweep is detected on the primary pair, the algorithm automatically scans correlated assets (e.g., checking GBPUSD or DXY for an EURUSD trade). An SMT Divergence in a correlated asset is accepted as institutional manipulation confirmation.
o Final Trigger: Once a CISD (Change in State of Delivery) occurs on the Lower Timeframe (LTF), the "Reversal" bias is confirmed.
2. Continuation: When a high-timeframe candle closes convincingly above/below the previous candle's High or Low, the algorithm reports that the current trend maintains its strength.
3. Indeterminate: In "non-delivery" zones where the market neither sweeps liquidity nor creates a structural break, the algorithm remains neutral to prevent overtrading.
🚨 Alert Center
The alert system is designed for high-confluence setups, ensuring you never miss a structural shift:
• Flexible TF Selection: You can manually toggle which of the 5 tracked timeframes (1M, 1W, 1D, etc.) should trigger notifications based on your strategy.
• "Any of Them" Function: When enabled, an instant notification is sent the moment a "Reversal" or "Continuation" signal forms on any of your selected timeframes.
• Directional Filtering: You can filter alerts to receive only "Bullish" or only "Bearish" setups, allowing you to align with your primary macro bias.
⚙️ Pro Tips for Usage
• Invalidation Lines: The dashed lines on the chart indicate the exact price level where the institutional bias is "invalidated." These serve as professional-grade stop-loss levels.
• B-ADJ Support: For Futures traders, back-adjustment settings are optimized within the code for seamless data transition.
• Manual Mode: If you wish to use custom timeframes not found in the standard sequence (e.g., 2-hour or 3-day charts), you can define them via the "Manuel" settings toggle.
• High-probability trade setups can be expected when there is multi-timeframe alignment in the same direction.
• Strategic Use Cases: The indicator is optimized for trading Distribution Phases within advanced frameworks. Whether you are looking for the C3 candle in the Universal Model or the Distribution (D) phase in an AMD (Power of 3) setup, this tool provides the necessary structural confirmation.
• User Discretion: Please note that this is a directional bias tool. While it identifies which direction is supported by multi-timeframe alignment, the final execution and entry management on lower timeframes are the user's responsibility.
• Always remember to seek additional confluence before executing a trade.
Chart Visual
Profile Visual
Example (SMT Usage) : On the chart, while the 10:00 H1 candle on GBPUSD sweeps its previous candle's liquidity, its correlated pair EURUSD does not show a sweep. If the "Use SMT for Bias" option is enabled, this SMT divergence with the correlated pair is accepted as a valid HTF Sweep. Upon the new candle open, once a 5m CISD confirmation occurs on EURUSD, the Bias Table will display "Bearish" for the H1/5m row.

ETH Vol Breakout - NO ERROR VERSIONThis strategy examines the impact of Eth.d Vol on Ethereum price. Looking at ETHDVOL -60 (Support) and 78 (Resistance)—tell a very specific story - analyzing a High Volatility Regime.
The support level around 60 and resistance 78, tend to only occurs during Bull Runs or Market Crashes.
In the "Quiet Years", ETHDVOL rarely touched 60, let alone 78.
Trying to develop a strategy that is perfectly tuned for a Bull Market or a Crisis,
1. The "60 Floor" (Support)
Context: In a high-volatility regime, when ETHDVOL drops to 60, it indicates the market has "cooled off" just enough to reload leverage.
Historical Behavior (2021-2022 Context):
July 2021: After the May crash, ETHDVOL compressed down and found support at ~65.
Result: This marked the local bottom before the massive run-up to the November All-Time Highs ($4,800).
Outcome: Strong Buy Signal (Trend Continuation).
January 2022: ETHDVOL dropped to ~58-60 while price was hovering around $3,000.
Result: The floor broke, volatility spiked to 80+, and price crashed to $2,200.
Outcome: Trap / Warning Signal.
The Pattern: When Volatility hits 60 (Support), price is usually Coiling.
If Price is trending UP: This is a "dip buy" opportunity. The coil resolves upwards.
If Price is trending DOWN: This is the "calm before the flush." The coil resolves downwards.
2. The "78 Ceiling" (Resistance)
Context: 78 is an extreme reading. It represents panic (bottom) or euphoria (blow-off top).
Historical Behavior:
May 2021 (The Crash): ETHDVOL smashed through 78, peaking at 100+.
Price Action: Price collapsed from $4,000 to $1,700.
Signal: If Vol > 78, you are in a capitulation event. Buying spot here is usually profitable within 3-6 months (buying the blood).
November 2022 (FTX Collapse): ETHDVOL spiked to ~75-80.
Price Action: ETH hit $1,100 (Cycle Lows).
Signal: Hitting 78 marked the Absolute Bottom.
November 2021 (The Top): Interestingly, at the $4,800 price peak, Volatility was NOT at 78. It was lower (~60-70).
Insight: Bull market tops often happen on lower volatility than bear market bottoms.

Liquidity Sweep of Candle & Swing @MaxMaserati 3.0MMM Liquidity Sweep Detector for single candle sweep and/or Swing Sweep
Identify liquidity sweeps with precision. A sweep occurs when price wicks through a key level (previous candle high/low or swing point) but closes back inside the range - indicating a failed breakout and potential reversal.
The set includes: Sweep Low, 50% of wick, TGT level
KEY FEATURES:
- Two Detection Modes: Track sweeps on previous candle levels OR swing highs/lows (pivot points)
- Both Mode: View candle and swing sweeps simultaneously
- Visual Clarity: Each sweep displays three extending lines (SWH/SWL, Target, 50% wick), box zone, and swept level with red X marker
- Smart Updates: When price creates new sweep levels without hitting targets, the entire sweep structure automatically relocates to the new level
- Double-Sided Logic: When both sides are swept on one candle, the indicator intelligently places the sweep on the longest wick side
SWEEP DEFINITION:
Bullish Sweep: Price wicks BELOW a low but closes ABOVE it (back inside range)
Bearish Sweep: Price wicks ABOVE a high but closes BELOW it (back inside range)
The indicator only creates sweeps on unviolated levels - levels that haven't been closed through yet. This ensures you're trading genuine liquidity sweeps, not broken levels.
CUSTOMIZATION:
- Adjustable swing lookback period
- Multiple box placement options
- Full color and display controls
- Invalidation options (Sweep High/Low or 50% Wick)
- Statistics panel showing active sweeps and completion rates
Perfect for traders using ICT concepts, Smart Money Theory, or institutional order flow analysis. Identify where large players are hunting liquidity before reversing price.

Institutional Zone Detector [Scalping-Algo]█ OVERVIEW
The Institutional Zone Detector identifies key supply and demand zones where large market participants (institutions, banks, hedge funds) have likely placed significant orders. These zones often act as powerful support and resistance levels, making them strategic areas for trade entries and exits.
This indicator is non-repainting, meaning once a signal appears on your chart, it will never disappear or change position. What you see in backtesting is exactly what you would have seen in real-time.
█ CORE CONCEPT
Markets move when large players execute substantial orders. These orders leave footprints in the form of specific candlestick patterns:
Demand Zones (Bullish)
When institutions accumulate positions, we often see a bearish candle followed by a strong bullish sequence. The last bearish candle before this move marks the demand zone - an area where buying pressure overwhelmed sellers.
Supply Zones (Bearish)
When institutions distribute positions, we typically see a bullish candle followed by a strong bearish sequence. The last bullish candle before this move marks the supply zone - an area where selling pressure overwhelmed buyers.
Price has a tendency to revisit these zones, offering potential trade opportunities.
█ HOW IT WORKS
The indicator scans for:
1. A potential zone candle (bearish for demand, bullish for supply)
2. A sequence of consecutive candles in the opposite direction
3. Optional: A minimum percentage move to filter weak signals
When all conditions are met, the zone is marked on your chart with:
• Upper and lower boundaries (solid lines)
• Equilibrium/midpoint level (cross marker)
• Extended channel lines for easy visualization
█ SETTINGS
Consecutive Candles Required (Default: 5)
Number of same-direction candles needed after the zone candle to confirm the pattern. Higher values = fewer but stronger signals.
Minimum Move Threshold % (Default: 0.0)
Minimum percentage price movement required to validate a zone. Increase this to filter out weak moves and focus on significant institutional activity.
Display Full Candle Range (Default: Off)
• Off: Shows Open-to-Low for demand zones, Open-to-High for supply zones
• On: Shows complete High-to-Low range of the zone candle
Show Demand/Supply Zone Channel (Default: On)
Toggle extended horizontal lines that project the zone levels across your chart.
Visual Theme (Default: Dark)
Choose between Dark (white/blue) or Light (green/red) color schemes.
Show Statistics Panel (Default: Off)
Displays a floating panel with exact price levels of the most recent zones.
Display Info Tooltip (Default: Off)
Shows an information label with indicator documentation.
█ HOW TO USE
Entry Strategies
1. Zone Bounce (Mean Reversion)
• Wait for price to return to a previously identified zone
• Look for rejection candles (pin bars, engulfing patterns) at zone levels
• Enter in the direction of the original zone (long at demand, short at supply)
• Place stops beyond the zone boundary
2. Zone Break (Momentum)
• When price breaks through a zone with strong momentum
• The broken zone often becomes the opposite type (broken demand becomes supply)
• Use for trend continuation trades
3. Equilibrium Trades
• The midpoint (cross marker) often acts as a magnet for price
• Can be used as a first target or as an entry point for scaled positions
Risk Management
• Always place stop-loss orders beyond zone boundaries
• Consider the zone width when calculating position size
• Wider zones = wider stops = smaller position size
• Use the equilibrium level for partial profit taking
Best Practices
• Higher timeframes produce more reliable zones
• Zones on multiple timeframes (confluence) are stronger
• Fresh/untested zones are more powerful than zones that have been touched multiple times
• Combine with other analysis methods (trend direction, volume, market structure)
█ ALERTS
Two alert conditions are available:
• "Demand Zone Identified" - Triggers when a new demand zone is detected
• "Supply Zone Identified" - Triggers when a new supply zone is detected
To set up alerts: Click on the indicator name → Add Alert → Select condition
█ IMPORTANT NOTES
• This indicator is a tool for analysis, not a complete trading system
• Signals are NOT automatic buy/sell recommendations
• Always use proper risk management
• Past performance does not guarantee future results
• Works on all markets and timeframes
• Non-repainting: Signals appear only after bar close confirmation

All-in-One CVD: Failed Auction + Trap + Flow Classifications All-in-One CVD : Failed Auction/Trap + Flow Classifications (Colored Bars)
Description:
This script provides an advanced order flow and delta-based trading visualization designed to highlight key market microstructure events in real time. It combines Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD), failed auction detection, absorption tracking, continuation signals, and trap identification into a single, coherent tool with colored bars and visual markers. Unlike standard volume or trend-following indicators, this script focuses on aggressive order flow and price acceptance/rejection events, making it particularly suitable for scalping, intraday momentum trading, and identifying high-probability short-term setups.
Originality and Purpose:
Many scripts either show CVD or detect failed auctions separately, but this script integrates multiple advanced flow concepts into one indicator.
By combining CVD, normalized delta, strong delta thresholds, failed auctions, absorption, traps, and continuation patterns, traders can identify where aggressive buying or selling is being absorbed, where price is likely to continue, and where traps are forming.
The mashup is intentional: each component validates the other. For example, a failed auction signal without absorption is less significant, while a failed auction coinciding with absorption signals a true high-probability trap or reversal.
Failed auctions typically align with "Failed 2" patterns from The Strat by Rob Smith, providing additional confirmation using a well-established price action methodology.
How It Works:
Volume and Delta Calculation:
Computes buying and selling pressure from volume and bar structure (high/low/close).
Supports UltraData mode for enhanced volume calculations using security data.
Options for Cumulative Mode: Total, Periodic, or EMA-based CVD.
Normalized Delta and Strong Delta Detection:
Calculates normalized delta (z-score) to standardize flow across different volatility regimes.
Flags strong buying or selling when delta exceeds user-defined thresholds.
Failed Auction Detection:
Highlights bars where price attempted to break previous highs/lows but failed to sustain, signaling trapped aggressive participants.
True failed auctions can coincide with absorption for higher-probability setups.
Absorption:
Detects situations where strong aggressive flow is absorbed at key levels, showing institutional participation or liquidity consumption.
Bullish absorption occurs when aggressive buying is absorbed at previous lows; bearish absorption occurs when aggressive selling is absorbed at previous highs.
Flow Classification:
Continuation: Aggressive flow accepted by the market — often the next candle continues in the direction of the delta.
Important: A single continuation signal does not guarantee follow-through. Traders should view it as an indicator that aggressive participants are in control for the current candle, and consider market context, trend, and support/resistance before assuming continuation. Multiple consecutive continuation signals or confirmation with absorption/strong delta increases reliability.
Trap: Aggressive flow trapped — the market reverses after failed auction.
Absorption: Aggressive orders absorbed — market shows hesitation at tested levels.
Colored CVD Bars and Visual Markers:
Bars colored green/red/gray based on delta direction.
Visual markers indicate flow state: circles for continuation, X-cross for traps, triangles for absorption.
Works in real time — live candles are updated with flow state markers.
Alerts:
Custom alert conditions for each flow type: continuation, trap, and absorption.
Alerts provide actionable signals for automated monitoring or manual trading.
Trading Applications:
Trap Trading: Identify aggressive buyers/sellers who fail to push price and get trapped. Use trap signals to fade reversals.
Continuation Trading: Detect market acceptance of aggressive flow for trend-following or breakout strategies. Use caution: a single continuation signal indicates probability, not certainty, and should be confirmed with structural context.
Absorption Analysis: Spot where institutional participants absorb liquidity before a potential directional move.
Intraday Scalping: Combines delta, volume, failed auction logic, and Strat alignment for high-frequency setups.
Key Notes:
True failed auctions with significant market impact require absorption — otherwise, a simple failed attempt may be a weak signal.
The script works across multiple markets (Forex, Crypto, Stock) and supports live bar updates.
Users can adjust strong delta thresholds, period lengths, and cumulative modes to fit their preferred trading style or volatility regime.
Conclusion:
This all-in-one script provides traders with a comprehensive, visually intuitive, and real-time method to detect aggressive flow, failed auctions, absorption, and continuation patterns. By linking failed auctions to The Strat’s failed 2 patterns, and clarifying the probabilistic nature of continuation signals, it merges advanced delta analytics with proven price action methodology, making it highly original, actionable, and educational for understanding market order flow dynamics.
Nested SMA WaveThe "Nested SMA Wave" is a custom Pine Script (v5) indicator for TradingView that overlays a series of 8 Simple Moving Averages (SMAs) on the price chart. These SMAs use exponentially increasing lengths based on powers of 2, starting from a user-defined base length (default: 25). This creates lengths like 25, 50, 100, 200, 400, 800, 1600, and 3200.
Each SMA is plotted in a distinct color, forming a "wave" of nested lines that fan out from short-term (faster, more responsive) to long-term (slower, smoother). Semi-transparent colored fills (shaded zones) are added between consecutive SMAs, with customizable toggles and transparency levels, creating layered visual bands that highlight the spaces between different trend timescales.
Use Cases
Multi-Timeframe Trend Visualization: The power-of-2 nesting approximates higher timeframe trends on lower timeframes without switching charts. Shorter SMAs react quickly to price changes, while longer ones show major trends, helping identify overall market structure at a glance.
Support/Resistance Identification: Price interacting with the SMA lines or shaded zones can act as dynamic support/resistance. Crossovers between nested SMAs signal potential momentum shifts.
Trend Strength and Alignment: When SMAs are widely spaced and aligned (e.g., all sloping up), it indicates strong trends. Converging or crossing SMAs suggest consolidation or reversals. The shaded zones add depth, making expansions/contractions in volatility or trend power visually obvious.
Ribbon-Style Trading: Similar to moving average ribbons, traders can look for price pulling back to inner zones for entries in the direction of the broader "wave," or use zone breaks for signals.
Customization for Different Assets/Timeframes: Adjust the base length (e.g., smaller for crypto volatility, larger for stocks) and toggle shades to reduce clutter.
This creates a visually rich, rainbow-like overlay that's particularly useful for trend-following strategies on any chart.
Seasonal Strategies V1Seasonal Strategies V1 is a rule-based futures seasonality framework built around predefined calendar windows per asset.

This strategy is designed as a structural trading tool, not a forecasting model.
It focuses on when a market historically shows seasonal tendencies — not why or how far price might move.
Seasonal Strategies V1 intentionally keeps the chart clean and minimal, making it suitable as a baseline framework for research, portfolio-style seasonal approaches, or further extensions in later versions.
Intended Use:
Futures and commodity markets
Seasonality research and testing
Systematic, calendar-driven strategies
Educational and analytical purposes

Volume Expansion vs 20-Day AverageThis indicator compares the current bar’s volume with the average volume of the previous 20 periods.
It highlights moments of volume expansion, where trading activity exceeds its recent norm, often associated with increased participation, momentum, or institutional interest.
The indicator is designed to be used as a filter, not a standalone signal. It is particularly useful for confirming breakouts, momentum setups, or avoiding low-quality trades during low-liquidity conditions.
Volume thresholds can be adjusted to require a minimum multiple of the average volume, allowing traders to focus only on meaningful volume surges.
Entropy Balance Oscillator [JOAT]
Entropy Balance Oscillator - Chaos Theory Edition
Overview
Entropy Balance Oscillator is an open-source oscillator indicator that applies chaos theory concepts to market analysis. It calculates market entropy (disorder/randomness), balance (price position within range), and various chaos metrics to identify whether the market is in an ordered, chaotic, or balanced state. This helps traders understand market regime and adjust their strategies accordingly.
What This Indicator Does
The indicator calculates and displays:
Entropy - Measures market disorder using return distribution analysis
Balance - Price position within the high-low range, normalized to -1 to +1
Lyapunov Exponent - Estimates sensitivity to initial conditions (chaos indicator)
Hurst Exponent - Measures long-term memory in price series (trend persistence)
Strange Attractor - Simulated attractor points for visualization
Bifurcation Detection - Identifies potential regime change points
Chaos Index - Combined entropy and volatility score
Market Phase - Classification as CHAOS, ORDER, or BALANCED
How It Works
Entropy is calculated using return distribution:
calculateEntropy(series float price, simple int period) =>
// Calculate returns and their absolute values
// Sum absolute returns for normalization
// Apply Shannon entropy formula: -sum(p * log(p))
float entropy = 0.0
for i = 0 to array.size(returns) - 1
float prob = math.abs(array.get(returns, i)) / sumAbs
if prob > 0
entropy -= prob * math.log(prob)
entropy
Balance measures price position within range:
calculateBalance(series float high, series float low, series float close, simple int period) =>
float range = high - low
float position = (close - low) / (range > 0 ? range : 1)
float balance = ta.ema(position, period)
(balance - 0.5) * 2 // Normalize to -1 to +1
Lyapunov Exponent estimates chaos sensitivity:
lyapunovExponent(series float price, simple int period) =>
float sumLog = 0.0
for i = 1 to period
float ratio = price > 0 ? math.abs(price / price ) : 1.0
if ratio > 0
sumLog += math.log(ratio)
lyapunov := sumLog / period
Hurst Exponent measures trend persistence:
H > 0.5: Trending/persistent behavior
H = 0.5: Random walk
H < 0.5: Mean-reverting behavior
Signal Generation
Phase changes and extreme conditions generate signals:
Chaos Phase: Normalized entropy exceeds chaos threshold (default 0.7)
Order Phase: Normalized entropy falls below order threshold (default 0.3)
Extreme Chaos: Entropy exceeds 1.5x chaos threshold
Extreme Order: Entropy falls below 0.5x order threshold
Bifurcation: Variance exceeds 2x average variance

Input Parameters
Entropy Period (default: 20) - Period for entropy calculation
Balance Period (default: 14) - Period for balance calculation
Chaos Threshold (default: 0.7) - Threshold for chaos phase
Order Threshold (default: 0.3) - Threshold for order phase
Lyapunov Exponent (default: true) - Enable Lyapunov calculation
Hurst Exponent (default: true) - Enable Hurst calculation
Strange Attractor (default: true) - Enable attractor visualization
Bifurcation Detection (default: true) - Enable bifurcation detection
Suggested Use Cases
Identify market regime for strategy selection (trend-following vs mean-reversion)
Watch for phase changes as potential trading environment shifts
Use Hurst exponent to assess trend persistence
Monitor chaos index for volatility regime awareness
Avoid trading during extreme chaos phases
Timeframe Recommendations
Best on 1H to Daily charts. Chaos metrics require sufficient data for meaningful calculations.
Limitations
Chaos theory concepts are applied as analogies, not rigorous mathematical implementations
Lyapunov and Hurst calculations are simplified approximations
Strange attractor visualization is conceptual
Bifurcation detection uses variance as proxy
