Prev TF CLOSE EMA Box (Resets Every TF)⚙️ Key Features
✅ Custom reset timeframe (independent of chart TF)
✅ Uses previous CLOSED EMA (no lookahead)
✅ Box instead of line (clearer structure)
✅ Optional “disrespected → gray” logic
✅ Wick-based or close-based validation
✅ Works on futures, crypto, forex, equities
📈 How to Use
Treat the box as a dynamic support / resistance zone
Best used for:
Trend continuation
Mean reversion
Bias filtering (above = bullish, below = bearish)
When the box turns gray, the EMA level has lost structural validity
❗ Important Notes
This is not a signal indicator
No entries or exits are generated
Designed for context, bias, and structure
Combine with price action, liquidity, or session logic
🧩 Inputs Explained
Reset / EMA TF → timeframe used for EMA calculation & box reset
EMA Length → standard EMA length (default 9)
Box Height → thickness of the EMA zone
Disrespect Logic → optional invalidation behavior

2. Add to breakout point (accumulation)
Breakout at 120 + 20 = Target: 140
3. Or subtract from breakdown (distribution)
Breakdown at 100 - 20 = Target: 80
```
### Multiple Targets
- **Conservative:** 1x range height (100% probability reached)
- **Moderate:** 1.5x range height (70% probability)
- **Aggressive:** 2x range height (40% probability)

## WYCKOFF METHOD THEORY
### The Three Fundamental Laws
#### 1. **Law of Supply and Demand**
- Price rises when demand exceeds supply
- Price falls when supply exceeds demand
- The indicator tracks volume vs price movement to identify imbalances
#### 2. **Law of Cause and Effect**
- A period of accumulation (cause) leads to markup (effect)
- A period of distribution (cause) leads to markdown (effect)
- Trading ranges build "cause" for future price movement
#### 3. **Law of Effort vs Result**
- **Effort** = Volume (energy put into the market)
- **Result** = Price movement (spread of the bar)
- High effort with low result = potential reversal
- Low effort with high result = trend weakness
### The Five Phases
#### **ACCUMULATION CYCLE**
**Phase A: Stopping the Downtrend**
- Preliminary Support (PS): First sign of buying
- Selling Climax (SC): Panic selling exhaustion
- Automatic Rally (AR): Bounce from SC
- Secondary Test (ST): Test of SC low on lower volume
**Phase B: Building the Cause**
- Trading range develops
- Supply being absorbed by composite operator
- Multiple tests of support and resistance
- Volume generally decreases
**Phase C: The Test (Spring)**
- False breakdown below support
- Traps late sellers
- Quick reversal on low volume
- Last chance to accumulate before markup
**Phase D: Dominance Emerges**
- Sign of Strength (SOS): Break above resistance
- Last Point of Support (LPS): Pullback opportunity
- Backup (BU): Final consolidation
- Demand clearly exceeds supply
**Phase E: Markup**
- New uptrend established
- Price moves rapidly higher
- Phase E can last months/years
- Original trading range becomes support
#### **DISTRIBUTION CYCLE**
**Phase A: Stopping the Uptrend**
- Preliminary Supply (PSY): First sign of selling
- Buying Climax (BC): Euphoric buying exhaustion
- Automatic Reaction (AR): Sharp selloff from BC
- Secondary Test (ST): Test of BC high on lower volume
**Phase B: Building the Cause**
- Trading range at top
- Demand being absorbed by composite operator
- Multiple tests of support and resistance
**Phase C: The Test (UTAD)**
- Upthrust After Distribution
- False breakout above resistance
- Traps late buyers
- Quick reversal
**Phase D: Dominance Emerges**
- Sign of Weakness (SOW): Break below support
- Last Point of Supply (LPSY): Rally opportunity to exit
- Supply clearly exceeds demand
**Phase E: Markdown**
- New downtrend established
- Price moves rapidly lower
- Original trading range becomes resistance

## TRADING STRATEGY EXAMPLES
### Strategy 1: Accumulation Range Breakout
**Setup:**
1. Identify trading range (blue background in Phase B)
2. Wait for Spring or Test (Phase C)
3. Wait for SOS breakout (Phase D)
**Entry:**
- Option A: Buy on SOS breakout
- Option B: Wait for LPS pullback (better risk/reward)
**Stop Loss:**
- Below the spring low or trading range bottom
**Target:**
- Measure height of trading range (cause)
- Project upward from breakout point (effect)
- Minimum target = range height
**Example:**
```
Trading Range: 100 to 120 (20 point range)
SOS Breakout at: 120
Target: 120 + 20 = 140 minimum
```
### Strategy 2: Distribution Range Breakdown
**Setup:**
1. Identify trading range after uptrend
2. Wait for UTAD (Phase C)
3. Wait for SOW breakdown (Phase D)
**Entry:**
- Option A: Sell on SOW breakdown
- Option B: Wait for LPSY rally (better risk/reward)
**Stop Loss:**
- Above the UTAD high or trading range top
**Target:**
- Measure height of trading range
- Project downward from breakdown point
- Minimum target = range height
### Strategy 3: Spring Trading
**Setup:**
1. Strong downtrend followed by range
2. Price breaks below range bottom
3. Volume is LOW on breakdown
4. Price quickly reverses and closes above support
**Entry:**
- When candle closes above support level
- Or on retest of support
**Stop Loss:**
- Below spring low (usually tight)
**Target:**
- Top of trading range
- Previous swing high
**Risk/Reward:**
- Typically 1:3 or better
### Strategy 4: Smart Money Tracking
**Setup:**
1. Look for 💰 symbols in demand zones
2. Multiple accumulation signals (PS, SC, ST, Test)
3. Volume decreasing during range
**Entry:**
- At next demand zone test
- On SOS breakout
**Confirmation:**
- Background turning green (Phase D/E)
- Table shows "BULLISH" bias
### Strategy 5: VSA Reversal
**Setup:**
1. Strong trend in place
2. Stopping Volume (SV) appears at extreme
3. Followed by No Demand (ND) or No Supply (NS)
**Entry:**
- When trend breaks down/up
- On retest of extreme
**Example (Bullish):**
```
Downtrend → Stopping Volume → No Supply → Up bar
Entry: Buy when price moves above SV bar
```

## COMMON PATTERNS
### Pattern 1: Classic Accumulation
```
Phase A: Downtrend → PS → SC → AR → ST
Phase B: Range building (4-12 weeks typical)
Phase C: Spring (false breakdown)
Phase D: SOS → LPS → BU
Phase E: Markup (new uptrend)
```
**What to do:**
- Mark the range boundaries
- Wait for spring
- Buy on LPS or SOS
- Hold through markup
### Pattern 2: Classic Distribution
```
Phase A: Uptrend → PSY → BC → AR → ST
Phase B: Range building (topping process)
Phase C: UTAD (false breakout)
Phase D: SOW → LPSY
Phase E: Markdown (new downtrend)
```
**What to do:**
- Mark the range boundaries
- Wait for UTAD
- Sell on LPSY or SOW
- Stay out during markdown
### Pattern 3: Re-Accumulation
```
Uptrend → Trading Range → Spring → Uptrend continues
```
- Occurs during existing uptrend
- Shorter accumulation period
- Often no clear SC (trend is already up)
- Spring is the key signal
### Pattern 4: Re-Distribution
```
Downtrend → Trading Range → UTAD → Downtrend continues
```
- Occurs during existing downtrend
- Shorter distribution period
- Often no clear BC (trend is already down)
- UTAD is the key signal
### Pattern 5: Failed Breakout
**Bullish Failed Breakout:**
```
Range → Breakdown → Immediate reversal (Spring)
```
- Price breaks support
- Volume is LOW
- Immediate strong reversal
- Very bullish
**Bearish Failed Breakout:**
```
Range → Breakout → Immediate reversal (UTAD)
```
- Price breaks resistance
- Volume may be high initially
- Quick rejection and reversal
- Very bearish

### Issue: Too Many Labels
**Solution:**
- Increase swing length (Settings → 7 or 10)
- Increase volume multipliers
- Turn off VSA labels if not needed
- Focus on major events only (SC, Spring, SOS, BC, UTAD, SOW)
### Issue: Missing Expected Events
**Solution:**
- Decrease swing length (Settings → 3)
- Decrease volume multipliers
- Turn OFF volume confirmation
- Check timeframe (use daily chart)
### Issue: False Signals
**Solution:**
- Use higher timeframe
- Wait for confirmation
- Don't trade against major trend
- Look for multiple signal convergence
### Issue: Can't See Background Colors
**Solution:**
- Check "Show Phases" is enabled
- Increase monitor brightness
- Colors are subtle by design (not to obscure price)
### Issue: Volume Shows Incorrectly
**Solution:**
- Ensure volume data is available for your symbol
- Some symbols have poor volume data
- Forex spot pairs have no real volume
- Use futures or stock markets for best results
### Issue: No Trading Range Detected
**Solution:**
- Market may be trending strongly
- Trading range might be too small
- Wait for price to consolidate
- Not all markets have clear ranges

## ADVANCED TIPS
### 1. Count Point & Figure Charts
- Wyckoff used P&F to measure "cause"
- Width of range × height = minimum move target
- Longer accumulation = larger markup
### 2. Watch for Absorption
- High volume + narrow spread = someone absorbing
- In downtrend = accumulation
- In uptrend = distribution
### 3. Multiple Timeframe Springs
- Spring on daily + spring on weekly = very strong
- Increases probability significantly
### 4. Failed Signals Are Signals Too
- Failed spring = weakness, expect lower
- Failed UTAD = strength, expect higher
### 5. Context is King
- Don't buy during Phase E Markdown
- Don't sell during Phase E Markup
- Respect the major trend
### 6. Volume Precedes Price
- Study volume changes first
- Price follows volume
- Decreasing volume in range = building energy
### 7. Composite Operator Mindset
- Think like institutions
- Where would smart money buy/sell?
- They need liquidity (retail traders)
---
## RISK MANAGEMENT
### Position Sizing
**Conservative:**
- Risk 1% per trade
- Wider stops at range boundaries
**Moderate:**
- Risk 1-2% per trade
- Stops below spring/above UTAD
**Aggressive:**
- Risk 2-3% per trade
- Tight stops
- Higher win rate needed
### Stop Loss Placement
**Accumulation:**
- Below spring low
- Below trading range bottom
- Below demand zone
**Distribution:**
- Above UTAD high
- Above trading range top
- Above supply zone
### Take Profit Strategy
**Method 1: Measured Move**
- Range height = minimum target
- 2x range height = extended target
**Method 2: Fibonacci Extensions**
- 1.0 = range height
- 1.618 = extended target
- 2.618 = maximum target
**Method 3: Trail the Stop**
- Move stop to breakeven at 1R
- Trail under swing lows in markup
- Lock in profits progressively
---
## BACKTESTING CHECKLIST
Before trading with real money:
- Backtest on 50+ historical examples
- Record all signals in trading journal
- Calculate win rate (aim for >50%)
- Calculate average R:R (aim for >1:2)
- Test on multiple instruments
- Test on multiple timeframes
- Test in different market conditions
- Verify signal consistency
- Practice on demo account

## COMPOSITE OPERATOR PSYCHOLOGY
### What Smart Money Does (Follow Them)
**Accumulation:**
```
1. Create fear (PS, SC)
2. Shake out weak hands (Spring)
3. Absorb supply quietly (Phase B)
4. Test for remaining supply (Test)
5. Mark it up (SOS → Phase E)
💰 They buy LOW when retail panics
```
**Distribution:**
```
1. Create euphoria (PSY, BC)
2. Trap late buyers (UTAD)
3. Distribute to buyers (Phase B)
4. Test for remaining demand (ST)
5. Mark it down (SOW → Phase E)
💰 They sell HIGH when retail buys
```
### Where to Look for Smart Money
```
💰 Buy signals appear at:
- Demand zones (green boxes)
- Springs and shakeouts
- Tests of support
- After selling climax
💰 Sell signals appear at:
- Supply zones (red boxes)
- UTAD and upthrusts
- Weak rallies (LPSY)
- After buying climax
```

## PRACTICE EXERCISES
### Exercise 1: Identify the Phase
Look at any chart and ask:
1. Is there a trading range? (Phase B likely)
2. Did we just stop a trend? (Phase A)
3. Was there a spring/UTAD? (Phase C)
4. Is there a breakout? (Phase D)
5. Is trend running? (Phase E)
### Exercise 2: Volume Analysis
For each bar, note:
- Volume level (High/Normal/Low)
- Spread (Wide/Normal/Narrow)
- Effort vs Result (Matching? Diverging?)
### Exercise 3: Find Historical Springs
Go back 6 months:
- Mark all springs you can find
- Note the setup before each
- Track what happened after
- Calculate win rate

Liquidity Sentiment Profile | LUPENIndicator Guide: Liquidity Sentiment Profile (LSP).
What is the LSP?
The Liquidity Sentiment Profile (LSP) is a "Next-Generation" oscillator designed to look beyond simple price action. While standard indicators (like RSI or MACD) primarily focus on where a candle closes, the LSP analyzes the micro-structure of the entire candle—specifically the relationship between the candle's Body, its Wicks (Shadows), and the Volume.
The Core Philosophy:
Wicks tell the truth: A long lower wick indicates that sellers pushed the price down, but buyers aggressively absorbed that liquidity and pushed it back up.
That is hidden bullish strength.
Volume validates intent: A price move with low volume is noise. A price move (or wick rejection) with high volume is a commitment by institutional players.
The LSP calculates a "Sentiment Score" between -100 and +100 based on these factors.
How to Read the Visuals
The Colors (Intensity)
color: Light Green - Bullish Acceleration. Buyers are in control, and momentum is increasing. This is the ideal time to be in a Long trade.
color: Dark Green - Bullish Deceleration. Buyers are still in control (price is likely rising), but the momentum is fading. This is a warning sign to tighten stop-losses or take profits.
color: Light Red - Bearish Acceleration. Sellers are dominating, and panic is increasing. This is the ideal time to be Short.
color: Dark Red - Bearish Deceleration. Sellers are still in control, but the downward pressure is exhausted. Be careful with new short positions.
The Lines & Fills
The Main Line: The actual LSP sentiment value.
The Yellow Signal Line: A smoothed average of the sentiment.
The Core Fill: The colored area between the Main Line and the Signal Line. When this area "glows", the trend is strong. When it dims (Dark), the trend is weak. Bearish Deceleration. Sellers are still in control, but the downward pressure is exhausted. Be careful with new short positions.
The Lines & Fills
The Main Line: The actual LSP sentiment value.
The Yellow Signal Line: A smoothed average of the sentiment.
The Core Fill: The colored area between the Main Line and the Signal Line. When this area "glows" (Neon), the trend is strong. When it dims (Dark), the trend is weak.
How to Use It (Trading Strategies)
Strategy A: The "Power Cross" (Trend Entry)
Use this for entering trends when the market wakes up.
Long Entry: Wait for the LSP line to cross ABOVE the Yellow Signal Line.
Confirmation: The fill color must turn Neon Green.
Short Entry: Wait for the LSP line to cross BELOW the Yellow Signal Line.
Confirmation: The fill color must turn Neon Red.
Strategy B: The "Absorption" Play (Reversals)
This is where the LSP shines. It detects when liquidity is being absorbed before price turns.
Bullish Absorption: The Price makes a Lower Low, but the LSP makes a Higher Low. This happens because the LSP detects the Volume on the Lower Wicks (buyers absorbing selling pressure). This is a high-probability reversal signal.
Bearish Absorption: The Price makes a Higher High, but the LSP makes a Lower High. The volume on the Upper Wicks suggests sellers are absorbing the buy orders.
Strategy C: The "Dimming" Exit (Risk Management)
Don't wait for the price to crash to exit a trade.
If you are in a Long trade (Neon Green) and the color instantly shifts to Dark Green, it means the "fuel" is running out. Consider taking partial profits or moving your Stop Loss to break even.
Standard oscillators (like RSI) often give false signals during strong trends (showing "Overbought" while price keeps going up). The LSP avoids this because it weights Volume and Wicks. If price goes up and volume increases, the LSP stays Neon Green, telling you the move is genuine, not just overextended.

Resampling Reverse Engineering Bands XRREB X: Visual Oscillator Projection Bands
Based on the innovative "Resampling Reverse Engineering" concept pioneered by Donovan Wall, this enhanced script fixes the core mathematical symmetry and provides anchored, non-repainting bands for reliable analysis.
This indicator transforms any RSI, Stochastic, or CCI calculation directly onto your price chart as dynamic support/resistance bands. Instead of watching an oscillator below your chart, you see its overbought/oversold levels projected as price levels the market must reach.
RREB X reverses standard oscillator formulas to answer one question: "What price must the market reach for my chosen oscillator to hit an extreme level like RSI=70, Stoch=80, or CCI=100?" It then plots these levels as actionable bands.
Key Improvements
Adjustable Oscillator Values - While the original was hard coded the reverse engineered oscillator length which limited its usefulness, this script finally allows you to visualize any length oscillator as dynamic OB/OS regions directly on the chart.
Dynamic OB/OS levels: This version also lets you dynamically adjust the OB/OS levels location, making bands tighter or wider as your strategy demands.
Mathematical Symmetry: Outer bands are perfect mirrors, providing reliable projected levels.
Fixed Anchoring: Bands don't repaint historically, offering stable reference lines.
Direct Price Translation: Oscillator overbought/oversold conditions are visualized as clear price levels.
The Band Calculation Type switch lets you project different oscillator logics, each with unique characteristics for different market conditions.
RRSI - General trend & momentum. Change RSI Period (e.g., 7 for fast, 21 for slow). Adjust OB/OS (e.g., 80/20 for strong trends). The bands show the price needed to push your custom RSI into overbought/oversold territory.
RStoch - Ranging markets & short-term reversals. Focus on the Stochastic Period. The projected bands are highly sensitive to recent highs/lows. Excellent for spotting reversals at the edges of a range.
RCCI - Strong trends & volatile markets. Use a higher Outer Bands Multiplier. CCI's lack of upper/lower bounds means bands reflect extreme momentum shifts. Great for identifying explosive breakout or breakdown levels in trends.
Use Middle Band as Filter: Price above the white middle band suggests a bullish bias for long setups; below suggests bearish for shorts. Same as the 50 midline on the RSI or Stochastic or 0 for CCI.
Customizing the Calculation:
The power lies in changing the oscillator lengths that the bands reflect. Adjust these in the settings:
Change from 14 to 7 for faster, more reactive bands, or to 21 for slower, smoother bands.
Overbought/Oversold: Change from 70/30 to 80/20 for stronger-trend filters, or to 60/40 for more frequent signals.
Trading the Bands:
Bands as Dynamic S/R: The solid cyan (Upper 100) and magenta (Lower 0) bands act as dynamic support and resistance. A touch and reversal can signal a trade.
Gradient as Momentum: The colored fills between bands visually represent the "pressure" needed to reach the next oscillator level.
Middle Band as Trend Filter: Price above the white middle band suggests a bullish bias for long setups; below suggests bearish for short setups.
ICT Macro Tracker - Study Version (Original by toodegrees)This indicator is a modified study version of the ICT Algorithmic Macro Tracker by toodegrees, based on the original open-source script available at The original indicator plots ICT Macro windows on the chart, corresponding to specific time [ periods when the Interbank Price Delivery Algorithm undergoes checks/instructions (aka "macros") for the price engine to reprice to an area of liquidity or inefficiency.
This study version adds functionality to hide bars outside macro periods. When enabled, the indicator draws boxes that cover the full chart height during non-macro periods, obscuring those bars so only macro periods are visible. This helps focus on macro-only price action. The feature is configurable, allowing users to enable or disable it and customize the box color. All original functionality remains intact.

Quantum Darvas BoxesQuantum Darvas Boxes - The Modern Evolution
The original Darvas Box methodology, conceived by Nicolas Darvas in the 1950s, revolutionized breakout trading by identifying consolidation phases as "boxes." However, modern markets move with algorithmic speed and fractal volatility that often trigger false breakouts. Quantum Darvas Boxes were designed not as a nostalgic tribute, but as a computational upgrade. By anchoring boxes to volatility-adjusted boundaries rather than raw highs/lows, and introducing adaptive stability mechanisms, this indicator transforms a classic discretionary tool into a systematic, noise-filtered engine.
Description & Improvements
Quantum Darvas Boxes solve the three fatal flaws of the original: false breakouts, arbitrary box sizing, and lack of confirmation. Instead of drawing boxes at exact recent highs/lows, it creates volatility-buffered boundaries using ATR, ensuring breakouts require meaningful momentum. The boxes remain anchored until a confirmed close beyond the buffer occurs, preventing the constant redrawing that plagued traditional Darvas implementations. Built-in volume and RSI filters add discretionary-grade confirmation to pure price action. Visually, the system presents as a stable, semi-transparent blue zone between red (resistance) and lime (support) lines, with clear triangle signals appearing only on validated breakouts.
How It's Based on Darvas
The core philosophy remains true to Darvas' 1950s methodology:
Identify Consolidation: Finds price ranges where the market consolidates
Draw Box: Creates a "box" representing the accumulation zone
Breakout Trading: Enters when price breaks out of the box with momentum
Volatility-Adjusted Boundaries
Original: Boxes at exact highs/lows → prone to false breakouts
QDB: Boxes set at High - (ATR × Multiplier) and Low + (ATR × Multiplier)
→ Breakouts require meaningful momentum, not just price tags
→ Adapts to different volatility regimes
Signal Logic:
Long: Close above box top, previous close was inside box
Short: Close below box bottom, previous close was inside box
Ideal Settings:
For daily charts, use lookback=13 and mult=2.4.
For intraday (1H-4H), reduce to lookback=8 and mult=1.8. Enable volume filter in trending markets and RSI filter in ranging conditions.
Trade Execution: Enter long on the green triangle below the bar following a close above the red top line; enter short on the red triangle above the bar after a close below the lime bottom line. The background glow provides immediate visual confirmation.
Risk Management: Set stops at the opposite box boundary. The volatility multiplier inherently calculates a risk buffer—larger multipliers create wider, higher-conviction boxes; smaller multipliers produce more frequent, sensitive signals. This system excels in trending markets and provides clear exit/reversal points, transforming Darvas's original speculation into a quantified, repeatable edge.

Neosha Concept V4 (NY Time)
Imagine the financial market as a huge ocean. Millions of traders throw orders into it every second. But beneath all the noise, there is a powerful current that quietly controls where the waves move. That current is not a person, not a trader, and not random—it is an algorithm.
This algorithm is called the Interbank Price Delivery Algorithm (IPDA).
Think of it as the “navigation system” that guides price through the market.
IPDA has one job:
to move prices in a way that keeps the market efficient and liquid.
To do this, it constantly looks for two things:
1. Where liquidity is hiding
Liquidity is usually found above highs and below lows—where traders place stop losses. The algorithm moves price there first to collect that liquidity.
2. Where price became unbalanced
Sometimes price moves too fast and creates gaps or imbalances. IPDA returns to those areas later to “fix” the missing orders.
Once you start looking at the charts with this idea in mind, everything makes more sense:
Why price suddenly spikes above a high and crashes down
Why big moves leave gaps that price later fills
Why the market reverses right after taking stops
Why trends begin only after certain levels are hit
These are not accidents.
They are the algorithm doing its job.
Price moves in a repeating cycle:
Gather liquidity
Make a strong move (displacement)
Return to fix inefficiency
Deliver to the next target
Most beginners only see the candles.
But once you understand IPDA, you see the intention behind the candles.
Instead of guessing where price might go, you begin to understand why it moves there.
And once you understand the “why,” your trading becomes clearer, calmer, and far more accurate.
Ultimate Adaptive RSIUltimate Adaptive RSI
RSI That Adapts to Any Market
This isn't your grandpa's RSI. It dynamically adjusts its sensitivity based on market conditions—smoother in trends, responsive in ranges.
Traditional RSI fails in strong trends and changing volatility. UA-RSI fixes both by adapting its sensitivity in real-time, giving you reliable signals whether the market is trending, ranging, or transitioning between regimes.
How It Adapts:
Smart Pre-Smoothing: Uses Efficiency Ratio to detect trend strength and automatically lengthens/shortens its smoothing window.
Dominant Cycle Detection: Matches its internal period to the market's actual rhythm.
Dynamic Bands: RMS-based overbought/oversold levels that expand/contract with volatility.
Smoothing Stack: ALMA pre-smoothing → Ultimate Smoother → Jurik filter creates the cleanest RSI you've ever seen.
Trade Signals:
Buy: RSI crosses above lower band or midline + price confirms
Sell: RSI crosses below upper band or midline + price confirms
Bands expand in high volatility → wait for deeper extremes
Bands contract in low volatility → take earlier signals
Signal line for crossover entries
Adaptive smoothing = fewer false signals in trends
Day trading: Use 1.0 band multiplier
Swing trading: Use 1.2-1.5 multiplier
Ranging markets: Lower multiplier to 0.8
Trending markets: Raise multiplier to 1.5+
Bands widen in volatility = wait for deeper extremes
Bands tighten in calm markets = take earlier signals
Never trade RSI alone - always wait for price confirmation

Short-Term Bubble Risk [Phantom] Short-Term Bubble Risk
Concept
This indicator visualizes short-term market risk by measuring how far price is stretched relative to its recent weekly trend.
Instead of focusing on absolute price levels, it looks at price behavior.
A similar reading means similar market conditions, whether price is high or low.
The goal is to help identify areas of potential accumulation and potential distribution in a clear, visual way.
How It Works
The indicator compares the weekly closing price to a weekly moving average and displays the deviation as a histogram.
When price is far below its average, risk is considered lower
When price is far above its average, risk is considered higher
The zero line represents fair value, where price equals its weekly average.
Features
Color-coded histogram showing short-term risk levels
Designed to work across different assets and price ranges
Optional bar coloring on the main chart using weekly risk data
Safe to use on any timeframe (risk is calculated on weekly data)
Settings
# Moving Average Length (Weeks):
Adjusts how sensitive the indicator is to price changes
# Color Visibility Toggles:
Allows hiding or showing specific risk zones
# Bar Coloring:
Option to color chart candles based on weekly risk levels
Usage
This indicator is best used as a risk lens, not a timing tool.
Common uses include:
Identifying potential accumulation zones during weakness
Spotting overextended conditions during strong moves
Comparing short-term risk across different assets
Adding context to trend-following or DCA strategies
Trade Ideas
# Lower-risk zones (cool colors):
Can support accumulation or patience during downtrends
# Higher-risk zones (warm colors):
Can signal caution, reduced exposure, or profit-taking
Always combine with:
Trend direction
Market structure
Higher-timeframe context
Limitations
This indicator does not predict tops or bottoms
High risk can remain high during strong trends
Low risk does not guarantee immediate reversals
It should not be used as a standalone trading system.

Density Zones (GM Crossing Clusters) + QHO Spin FlipsINDICATOR NAME
Density Zones (GM Crossing Clusters) + QHO Spin Flips
OVERVIEW
This indicator combines two complementary ideas into a single overlay: *this combines my earlier Geometric Mean Indicator with the Quantum Harmonic Oscillator (Overlay) with additional enhancements*
1) Density Zones (GM Crossing Clusters)
A “Density Zone” is detected when price repeatedly crosses a Geometric Mean equilibrium line (GM) within a rolling lookback window. Conceptually, this identifies regions where the market is repeatedly “snapping” across an equilibrium boundary—high churn, high decision pressure, and repeated re-selection of direction.
2) QHO Spin Flips (Regression-Residual σ Breaches)
A “Spin Flip” is detected when price deviates beyond a configurable σ-threshold (κ) from a regression-based equilibrium, using normalized residuals. Conceptually, this marks excursions into extreme states (decoherence / expansion), which often precede a reversion toward equilibrium and/or a regime re-scaling.
These two systems are related but not identical:
- Density Zones identify where equilibrium crossings cluster (a “singularity”/anchor behavior around GM).
- Spin Flips identify when price exceeds statistically extreme displacement from the regression equilibrium (LSR), indicating expansion beyond typical variance.
CORE CONCEPTS AND FORMULAS
SECTION A — GEOMETRIC MEAN EQUILIBRIUM (GM)
We define two moving averages:
(1) MA1_t = SMA(close_t, L1)
(2) MA2_t = SMA(close_t, L2)
We define the equilibrium anchor as the geometric mean of MA1 and MA2:
(3) GM_t = sqrt( MA1_t * MA2_t )
This GM line acts as an equilibrium boundary. Repeated crossings are interpreted as high “equilibrium churn.”
SECTION B — CROSS EVENTS (UP/DOWN)
A “cross event” is registered when the sign of (close - GM) changes:
Define a sign function s_t:
(4) s_t =
+1 if close_t > GM_t
-1 if close_t < GM_t
s_{t-1} if close_t == GM_t (tie-breaker to avoid false flips)
Then define the crossing event indicator:
(5) crossEvent_t = 1 if s_t != s_{t-1}
0 otherwise
Additionally, the indicator plots explicit cross markers:
- Cross Above GM: crossover(close, GM)
- Cross Below GM: crossunder(close, GM)
These provide directional visual cues and match the original Geometric Mean Indicator behavior.
SECTION C — DENSITY MEASURE (CROSSING CLUSTER COUNT)
A Density Zone is based on the number of cross events occurring in the last W bars:
(6) D_t = Σ_{i=0..W-1} crossEvent_{t-i}
This is a “crossing density” score: how many times price has toggled across GM recently.
The script implements this efficiently using a cumulative sum identity:
Let x_t = crossEvent_t.
(7) cumX_t = Σ_{j=0..t} x_j
Then:
(8) D_t = cumX_t - cumX_{t-W} (for t >= W)
cumX_t (for t < W)
SECTION D — DENSITY ZONE TRIGGER
We define a Density Zone state:
(9) isDZ_t = ( D_t >= θ )
where:
- θ (theta) is the user-selected crossing threshold.
Zone edges:
(10) dzStart_t = isDZ_t AND NOT isDZ_{t-1}
(11) dzEnd_t = NOT isDZ_t AND isDZ_{t-1}
SECTION E — DENSITY ZONE BOUNDS
While inside a Density Zone, we track the running high/low to display zone bounds:
(12) dzHi_t = max(dzHi_{t-1}, high_t) if isDZ_t
(13) dzLo_t = min(dzLo_{t-1}, low_t) if isDZ_t
On dzStart:
(14) dzHi_t := high_t
(15) dzLo_t := low_t
Outside zones, bounds are reset to NA.
These bounds visually bracket the “singularity span” (the churn envelope) during each density episode.
SECTION F — QHO EQUILIBRIUM (REGRESSION CENTERLINE)
Define the regression equilibrium (LSR):
(16) m_t = linreg(close_t, L, 0)
This is the “centerline” the QHO system uses as equilibrium.
SECTION G — RESIDUAL AND σ (FIELD WIDTH)
Residual:
(17) r_t = close_t - m_t
Rolling standard deviation of residuals:
(18) σ_t = stdev(r_t, L)
This σ_t is the local volatility/width of the residual field around the regression equilibrium.
SECTION H — NORMALIZED DISPLACEMENT AND SPIN FLIP
Define the standardized displacement:
(19) Y_t = (close_t - m_t) / σ_t
(If σ_t = 0, the script safely treats Y_t = 0.)
Spin Flip trigger uses a user threshold κ:
(20) spinFlip_t = ( |Y_t| > κ )
Directional spin flips:
(21) spinUp_t = ( Y_t > +κ )
(22) spinDn_t = ( Y_t < -κ )
The default κ=3.0 corresponds to “3σ excursions,” which are statistically extreme under a normal residual assumption (even though real markets are not perfectly normal).
SECTION I — QHO BANDS (OPTIONAL VISUALIZATION)
The indicator optionally draws the standard σ-bands around the regression equilibrium:
(23) 1σ bands: m_t ± 1·σ_t
(24) 2σ bands: m_t ± 2·σ_t
(25) 3σ bands: m_t ± 3·σ_t
These provide immediate context for the Spin Flip events.
WHAT YOU SEE ON THE CHART
1) MA1 / MA2 / GM lines (optional)
- MA1 (blue), MA2 (red), GM (green).
- GM is the equilibrium anchor for Density Zones and cross markers.
2) GM Cross Markers (optional)
- “GM↑” label markers appear on bars where close crosses above GM.
- “GM↓” label markers appear on bars where close crosses below GM.
3) Density Zone Shading (optional)
- Background shading appears while isDZ_t = true.
- This is the period where the crossing density D_t is above θ.
4) Density Zone High/Low Bounds (optional)
- Two lines (dzHi / dzLo) are drawn only while in-zone.
- These bounds bracket the full churn envelope during the density episode.
5) QHO Bands (optional)
- 1σ, 2σ, 3σ shaded zones around regression equilibrium.
- These visualize the current variance field.
6) Regression Equilibrium (LSR Centerline)
- The white centerline is the regression equilibrium m_t.
7) Spin Flip Markers
- A circle is plotted when |Y_t| > κ (beyond your chosen σ-threshold).
- Marker size is user-controlled (tiny → huge).
HOW TO USE IT
Step 1 — Pick the equilibrium anchor (GM)
- L1 and L2 define MA1 and MA2.
- GM = sqrt(MA1 * MA2) becomes your equilibrium boundary.
Typical choices:
- Faster equilibrium: L1=20, L2=50 (default-like).
- Slower equilibrium: L1=50, L2=200 (macro anchor).
Interpretation:
- GM acts like a “center of mass” between two moving averages.
- Crosses show when price flips from one side of equilibrium to the other.
Step 2 — Tune Density Zones (W and θ)
- W controls the time window measured (how far back you count crossings).
- θ controls how many crossings qualify as a “density/singularity episode.”
Guideline:
- Larger W = slower, broader density detection.
- Higher θ = only the most intense churn is labeled as a Density Zone.
Interpretation:
- A Density Zone is not “bullish” or “bearish” by itself.
- It is a condition: repeated equilibrium toggling (high churn / high compression).
- These often precede expansions, but direction is not implied by the zone alone.
Step 3 — Tune the QHO spin flip sensitivity (L and κ)
- L controls regression memory and σ estimation length.
- κ controls how extreme the displacement must be to trigger a spin flip.
Guideline:
- Smaller L = more reactive centerline and σ.
- Larger L = smoother, slower “field” definition.
- κ=3.0 = strong extreme filter.
- κ=2.0 = more frequent flips.
Interpretation:
- Spin flips mark when price exits the “normal” residual field.
- In your model language: a moment of decoherence/expansion that is statistically extreme relative to recent equilibrium.
Step 4 — Read the combined behavior (your key thesis)
A) Density Zone forms (GM churn clusters):
- Market repeatedly crosses equilibrium (GM), compressing into a bounded churn envelope.
- dzHi/dzLo show the envelope range.
B) Expansion occurs:
- Price can release away from the density envelope (up or down).
- If it expands far enough relative to regression equilibrium, a Spin Flip triggers (|Y| > κ).
C) Re-coherence:
- After a spin flip, price often returns toward equilibrium structures:
- toward the regression centerline m_t
- and/or back toward the density envelope (dzHi/dzLo) depending on regime behavior.
- The indicator does not guarantee return, but it highlights the condition where return-to-field is statistically likely in many regimes.
IMPORTANT NOTES / DISCLAIMERS
- This indicator is an analytical overlay. It does not provide financial advice.
- Density Zones are condition states derived from GM crossing frequency; they do not predict direction.
- Spin Flips are statistical excursions based on regression residuals and rolling σ; markets have fat tails and non-stationarity, so σ-based thresholds are contextual, not absolute.
- All parameters (L1, L2, W, θ, L, κ) should be tuned per asset, timeframe, and volatility regime.

SUMMARY
This indicator treats the Geometric Mean as an equilibrium boundary and identifies “Density Zones” when price repeatedly crosses that equilibrium within a rolling window, forming a bounded churn envelope (dzHi/dzLo). It also models a regression-based equilibrium field and triggers “Spin Flips” when price makes statistically extreme σ-excursions from that field. Used together, Density Zones highlight compression/decision regions (equilibrium churn), while Spin Flips highlight extreme expansion states (σ-breaches), allowing the user to visualize how price compresses around equilibrium, releases outward, and often re-stabilizes around equilibrium structures over time.
