🕯️First Candle First Candle – Breakout & Return Indicator
This indicator marks the high and low of the first 9:30–9:45 AM New York session candle and locks those levels for the rest of the day.
It highlights important candles based on Fair Value Gap (FVG) logic and price behavior around this opening range:
• Green — first candle of the day whose full body closes above the range with a valid bullish FVG in the same impulse.
• Red — first candle whose full body closes below the range with a valid bearish FVG in the same impulse.
• Yellow — any candle whose full body re-enters back inside the range and has a matching same-impulse FVG behind the move.
Simple, clean, and designed to highlight only the most meaningful breakout and return signals from the opening range.

Adaptive Trend Trigger // VX-ATTAdaptive Trend Trigger // VX-ATT is a trend-following bias indicator that combines a baseline EMA with adaptive ATR bands and a momentum override layer.
Core idea:
The EMA defines the baseline trend.
ATR bands above/below the EMA mark zones where volatility is high enough to justify a directional push.
A break above the upper band switches the bias to Long.
A break below the lower band switches the bias to Short.
Strong candle bodies (measured vs. an average body size) can temporarily override the current bias when they close far above/below the EMA (momentum override).
What the indicator does:
Colors the background based on the active bias (Long/Short).
Plots EMA + ATR bands.
Marks strong momentum candles with arrows.
Provides alerts when the bias flips from Long → Short or Short → Long.
Typical use cases:
Trend filter for discretionary entries
Bias layer for strategies or additional indicators
Only trade in the direction of the active bias (e.g., favor Long setups in Long bias, avoid counter-trend scalps)
This is a simplified, free component extracted from my VX toolset (VX-ATT), designed as a clean, plug-and-play trend/bias layer you can combine with your own setups.

12 Band Volume matched Candles📌 12 Band Volume matched Candles (Official Description)
12 Band Volume matched Candles is a next-generation volume-strength visualisation tool designed for traders who rely on precision, speed, and clarity.
Instead of colouring candles by price action or relative indicators, this script maps every candle to one of 12 absolute-volume strength bands, using real contract/share volume thresholds that you define.
No guessing.
No subjective smoothing.
No repainting.
Just pure, clean, calibrated volume pressure — visualised instantly.
🔥 Why This Indicator Exists
Traditional volume colouring is vague, delayed, or tied to assumptions (like moving averages).
Scalpers, orderflow watchers, and tape-readers all know the truth:
👉 The raw size of volume matters more than relative volume.
This tool removes all ambiguity and lets you define exact thresholds that match the behaviour of your market:
5k volume
10k volume
20k
35k
50k
70k
… all the way to
200k+ (or whatever instrument volume you want)
Those thresholds map to a 12-band spectrum, ranging from the coldest low-volume purples to the hottest high-volume reds.
The result?
A visual system that lets you read volume pressure instantly, the same way our RSI 12-band spectrum lets you read momentum immediately.
🎨 Premium 12-Band Colour Spectrum
This indicator uses the same refined colour spectrum as the In The Zone RSI – 12 Band script:
Weak Volume (Bands 1–6) – Cold Side
Ultra-dark violet
Deep purples
Cool blues
Light icy blue
Strong Volume (Bands 7–12) – Hot Side
Warm yellows
Oranges
Orange-reds
Deep maroons
Ultra-dark red for max volume
You instantly know:
When volume is dying
When volume is building
When a trend is being pushed
When a breakout has REAL participation
When a reversal is weak or strong
Your brain doesn’t need to “interpret” numbers — just read the colours.
⚙️ Key Features
✔ 12 Custom Volume Thresholds
Set exact volume values that match your instrument.
A perfect companion for multi-indicator visual alignment.
✔ Borders-Only Mode
Keep your chart clean and still read volume strength.
✔ Adjustable Brightness & Opacity
Fine-tune the aesthetic for dark or light chart themes.
✔ Legend Placement Options
Display the volume band legend in any corner of the chart.
✔ Zero Lag – Zero Repaint
Everything is based on historical volume — no tricks.
🚀 Who It’s For
This tool is extremely powerful for:
Scalpers
Momentum traders
Orderflow readers
Breakout traders
Reversal hunters
Algo / quant-style chart readers
Anyone who trades with candle-flow awareness
If you rely on the “feel” of a chart, volume rhythm, or momentum pressure — this indicator becomes a cheat-code.
🎯 Practical Uses
Spot when large players enter a move
Filter weak vs strong pullbacks
Confirm breakout candles
See exhaustion before reversals
Separate noise from real interest
Pair with IZ RSI + price structure for elite scalp precision
⭐ Why Traders Love It
Because it's clear.
Instant.
And it treats volume as the truth, not something to smooth or average.
This is how scalpers and tape-readers naturally think — now in a visual form.
🔥 Final Line
12 Band Volume matched Candles turns raw volume into a crystal-clear language.
Once you see volume this way, you will never go back to traditional colouring again.
Multi-TF Volatility Channel DashboardThis tool tracks where price sits inside a volatility channel on two timeframes at once and turns it into a simple trend state.
What it does
Builds a volatility channel around price using a midline and a volatility based band.
Converts the position of price inside that band into an oscillator that moves roughly between -100 and +100.
Calculates this oscillator on:
The current chart timeframe (LTF)
A selected higher timeframe (HTF)
From that it classifies each timeframe as:
Bull: oscillator above zero
Bear: oscillator below zero
Neutral: oscillator near zero
You can then see:
LTF oscillator line
HTF oscillator line
A small table showing LTF state, HTF state, and whether they are aligned
When both LTF and HTF are bullish or both are bearish, the background can highlight that period, and optional alerts fire.
How to use it
Trade in the direction of the higher timeframe when both lines agree.
Avoid taking counter trend trades when LTF and HTF are in strong but opposite states.
Use the LTF line for timing and the HTF line for directional bias.
Emac ForecastEMAC Forecast System
What it measures
The EMAC Forecast measures the speed and persistence of trend movement. Instead of only looking at whether one EMA is above or below another, the forecast quantifies how quickly momentum is building or fading across multiple time horizons.
It captures three things at once:
The direction of the underlying trend
The rate at which the trend is strengthening or weakening
The consistency of that change across several smoothing speeds
This produces a forward leaning view of trend conditions, not a trailing confirmation.
How to read the forecast
The EMAC Forecast is displayed as a scaled oscillator, typically ranging between negative and positive values.
Positive forecast values
Indicate that bullish trend pressure is increasing.
Higher readings mean stronger acceleration, not just price rising.
Negative forecast values
Indicate increasing bearish pressure.
Again, the strength of the negative reading reflects how quickly selling momentum is building.
Rising forecast (slope up)
Shows improving momentum, even if the value is still below zero.
Useful for catching early reversals or transitions from chop to trend.
Falling forecast (slope down)
Shows momentum fading, even when trend direction has not flipped yet.
Helps anticipate exhaustions and pullbacks.
Flat forecast
Indicates low conviction and lack of directional drive.
Often corresponds to chop or range conditions.
Why the EMAC Forecast is different from a regular EMAC
A standard EMAC or EMA crossover follows a simple rule:
When fast EMA crosses above slow EMA, bullish.
When fast EMA crosses below slow EMA, bearish.
This is reactive and only changes after price has already moved.
The EMAC Forecast works differently:
1. Uses multiple EMAs rather than two
Instead of comparing one fast and one slow average, it blends several time constants into a composite signal.
This creates a smoother, more reliable directional read.
2. Measures acceleration, not just position
Traditional crossovers only monitor whether lines have crossed.
EMAC Forecast measures the speed and force behind the movement.
It tells you how strong the trend is becoming, not just whether one line is above the other.
3. Adapts to volatility
Sharp markets increase weighting of fast components.
Calm markets increase influence of slower components.
This reduces whipsaws in low-volatility conditions and improves responsiveness in high-volatility environments.
4. Gives actionable information before a crossover happens
The forecast often turns before the EMAC direction flips, allowing early detection of:
Trend ignition
Trend fade
Momentum squeezes
Impending reversals
It effectively “leans forward” into the trend instead of waiting for a full reversal.
Practical Use Cases
Early trend identification
When the forecast first turns positive or negative, trend acceleration is beginning.
This is often visible before the EMAC lines cross.
Confirming the Combined Forecast System
Use the EMAC Forecast to validate signals from your other forecast models.
If both agree, conviction is notably higher.
Filtering noise
Short-term whipsaws are reduced because the composite structure dilutes erratic fast movements.
Trend aging and exhaustion
A falling forecast during a positive trend suggests reduced conviction and potential exhaustion.
YCGH Drawdown PercentilesWhat This Indicator Does?
The Drawdown Percentiles indicator tracks how far below the all-time high (ATH) a stock or asset is currently trading, then displays statistical percentiles of historical drawdowns in a customizable table.
Percentile Analysis: It collects up to 5,000 historical bars of drawdown data, sorts them, and calculates user-selected percentiles (default: 10th, 30th, 50th) to show where current drawdowns rank historically.
Visual Display: A table shows each percentile threshold with color-coded drawdown values, helping you quickly assess whether the current drawdown is typical or extreme compared to historical patterns.
Practical Use Cases
Risk Assessment: Identify if current drawdowns fall within normal ranges or represent extreme conditions requiring position adjustments.
Entry/Exit Timing: Use percentile rankings to time entries during historically shallow drawdowns (better conditions) and reduce exposure during deep drawdowns.
Strategy Comparison: Compare drawdown patterns across different assets or trading strategies to evaluate risk-adjusted performance.
Trend Exhaustion liteThe Trend Exhaustion Lite tool tracks the age and strength of the current directional move to show how mature or extended a trend has become. It converts complex statistical analysis into a simple visual panel and colour-coded background.
How It Works
Once a directional bias is established, the indicator measures: Direction (Bullish / Bearish phase), Trend Age (Number of bars since the current trend began), and Strength % (Relative intensity of the move on a 0–100 scale). Background colour shifts subtly as strength increases or fades, while the table displays live metrics.
Use Cases
Younger trends (low age): Usually early in development — potential continuation
Aging trends (high age, declining strength): Often nearing exhaustion; tighten risk or prepare for rotation
Combine with the Forecast Paint Engine or Trend Regime Lite for confirmation on when conviction is building or fading
Interpretation Example
Example Output:
Panel reads Direction: Bull, Age: 47 bars, Strength: 68%
Meaning:
The uptrend remains statistically healthy but entering a later stage — manage exposure accordingly
Boring MACD Trading Strategy - Dedicated to 'The Secret Mindset'This indicator displays the MACD status across three selectable timeframes, regardless of the chart timeframe you are currently viewing.
For each timeframe, it shows whether the MACD line is above or below the zero line, indicating bullish or bearish momentum.
It also shows whether the MACD line is above or below the signal line, revealing the current trend condition as bullish, bearish, or neutral.

SMA 50 DerivativeThis approach uses calculus concepts:
First Derivative (slope): Rate of change of the SMA → ta.change(sma50)
Second Derivative (acceleration): Rate of change of the slope → ta.change(smaSlope)
1. First Derivative (smaSlope)
Measures: The instantaneous rate of change between the current bar and previous bar
Formula: sma50 - sma50
Interpretation:
> 0 = SMA is rising (uptrend)
< 0 = SMA is falling (downtrend)
= 0 = SMA is flat
2. Second Derivative (smaAcceleration)
Measures: How the slope itself is changing
Formula: smaSlope - smaSlope = (sma50 - sma50 ) - (sma50 - sma50 )
Interpretation:
> 0 = Slope is increasing (trend is accelerating)
< 0 = Slope is decreasing (trend is decelerating)
= 0 = Slope is constant
**For scalping, very short-term signals**
VIX Calm vs Choppy (Bar Version, VIX High Threshold)This indicator tracks market stability by measuring how long the VIX stays below or above a chosen intraday threshold. Instead of looking at VIX closes, it uses VIX high, so even a brief intraday spike will flip the regime into “choppy.”
The tool builds a running clock of consecutive bars spent in each regime:
Calm regime: VIX high stays below the threshold
Choppy regime: VIX high hits or exceeds the threshold
Calm streaks plot as positive bars (light blue background).
Choppy streaks plot as negative bars (dark pink background).
This gives a clean picture of how long the market has been stable vs volatile — useful for trend traders, breakout traders, and anyone who watches risk-on/risk-off conditions. A table shows the current regime and streak length for quick reference.
YCGH ATH DrawdownHow the Indicator Measures Drawdown from ATH
The indicator continuously tracks and calculates the percentage decline from the all-time high (ATH) using a systematic approach.
ATH Tracking Mechanism
Dynamic ATH Calculation: The script maintains a persistent variable that stores the highest price ever reached. On each bar, it compares the current high with the stored ATH using ath := math.max(ath, high), updating the ATH whenever a new peak is reached.
Braid Filter StrategyAnother of TradeIQ's youtube strategies. It looks a little messy but it combines all the indicators into one so there are no extra panes. This strategy is like a sophisticated set of traffic lights and speed limit signs for trading. It only allows a trade when multiple indicators line up to confirm a strong move, giving it its "Braid Filter" name—it weaves together several conditions.
The strategy is set up to use 100% of your account equity (your trading funds) on a trade and does not "pyramid" (it won't add to an existing trade).
1. The Main Trend Check (The Traffic Lights)
The strategy uses three main filters that must agree before it considers a trade.
A. The "Braid Filter" (Direction & Strength)
This is the heart of the strategy, a custom combination of three different Moving Averages
These averages have fast, medium, and slow settings (3, 7, and 14 periods).
Go Green (Buy Signal): The fastest average is higher than the medium average, AND the three averages are sufficiently separated (not tangled up, which indicates a strong move).
Go Red (Sell Signal): The medium average is higher than the fastest average, AND the three averages are sufficiently separated.
Neutral (Wait): If the averages are tangled or the separation isn't strong enough.
Key Trigger: A primary condition for a signal is when the Chad Filter changes color (e.g., from Red/Grey to Green).
B. The EMA Trend Bars (Secondary Confirmation)
This is a simpler, longer-term filter using a 34-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA). It checks if the current candle's average price is above or below this EMA.
Green Bars: The price is above the 34 EMA (Bullish Trend).
Red Bars: The price is below the 34 EMA (Bearish Trend).
Trades only happen if the signal direction matches the bar color. For a Buy, the bar must be Green. For a Sell, the bar must be Red.
C. ADX/DI Filter (The Speed Limit Sign)
This uses the Average Directional Index (ADX) and Directional Movement Indicators (DI) to check if a trend is actually in motion and getting stronger.
Must-Have Conditions:
The ADX value must be above 20 (meaning there is a trend, not just random movement).
The ADX line must be rising (meaning the trend is accelerating/getting stronger).
The strategy will only trade when the trend is strong and building momentum.
2. The Trading Action (Entry and Exit)
When all three filters (Chad Filter color change, EMA Trend Bar color, and ADX strength/slope) align, the strategy issues a signal, but it doesn't enter immediately.
Entry Strategy (The "Wait-for-Confirmation" Approach):
When a Buy Signal appears, the strategy sets a "Buy Stop" order at the signal candle's closing price.
It then waits for up to 3 candles (Candles Valid for Entry). The price must move up and hit that Buy Stop price within those 3 candles to confirm the move and enter the trade.
A Sell Signal works the same way but uses a "Sell Stop" at the closing price, waiting for the price to drop and hit it.
Risk Management (Stop Loss and Take Profit):
Stop Loss: To manage risk, the strategy finds a recent significant low (for a Buy) or high (for a Sell) over the last 20 candles and places the Stop Loss there. This is a logical place where the current move would be considered "broken" if the price reaches it.
Take Profit: It uses a fixed Risk:Reward Ratio (set to 1.5 by default). This means the potential profit (Take Profit distance) is $1.50 for every $1.00 of risk (Stop Loss distance).
3. Additional Controls
Time Filter: You can choose to only allow trades during specific hours of the day.
Visuals: It shows a small triangle on the chart where the signal happens and colors the background to reflect the Chad Filter's trend (Green/Red/Grey) and the candle bars to show the EMA trend (Lime/Red).
🎯 Summary of the Strategy's Goal
This strategy is designed to capture strong, confirmed momentum moves. It uses a fast, custom indicator ("Chad Filter") to detect the start of a new move, confirms that move with a slower trend filter (34 EMA), and then validates the move's strength with the ADX. By waiting a few candles for the price to hit the entry level, it aims to avoid false signals.

Distance from EMA (@orel_kakoon)Description (English):
This indicator measures the relative distance between the current price and the 21-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA).
It helps traders visualize when the price is extended above or below its short-term trend, identify potential overbought or oversold conditions, and spot mean-reversion opportunities.
Use it to track momentum shifts and confirm entries or exits based on how far the price deviates from its EMA baseline.
