HTF Current/Average RangeThe "HTF(Higher Timeframe) Current/Average Range" indicator calculates and displays the current and average price ranges across multiple timeframes, including daily, weekly, monthly, 4 hour, and user-defined custom timeframes.
Users can customize the lookback period, table size, timeframe, and font color; with the indicator efficiently updating on the final bar to optimize performance.
When the current range surpasses the average range for a given timeframe, the corresponding table cell is highlighted in green, indicating potential maximum price expansion and signaling the possibility of an impending retracement or consolidation.
For day trading strategies, the daily average range can serve as a guide, allowing traders to hold positions until the current daily range approaches or meets the average range, at which point exiting the trade may be considered.
For scalping strategies, the 15min and 5min average range can be utilized to determine optimal holding periods for fast trades.
Other strategies:
Intraday Trading - 1h and 4h Average Range
Swing Trading - Monthly Average Range
Short-term Trading - Weekly Average Range
Also using these statistics in accordance with Power 3 ICT concepts, will assist in holding trades to their statistical average range of the chosen HTF candle.
CODE
The core functionality lies in the data retrieval and table population sections.
The request.security function (e.g., = request.security(syminfo.tickerid, "D", , lookahead = barmerge.lookahead_off)) retrieves high and low prices from specified timeframes without lookahead bias, ensuring accurate historical data.
These values are used to compute current ranges and average ranges (ta.sma(high - low, avgLength)), which are then displayed in a dynamically generated table starting at (if barstate.islast) using table.new, with conditional green highlighting when the current range is greater than average range, providing a clear visual cue for volatility analysis.

True Opens 🧪 [Pro +] | cephxsTRUE OPENS 🧪
This indicator reflects, and is based on Public Domain Information available online. Utilizing concepts by Daye and ICT.
Multi-timeframe True Open indicator displaying key price levels across Micro, 90-minute, Daily, Weekly, and Monthly cycles with automatic timeframe visibility gating.
OVERVIEW
True Opens identifies the opening price of the second quadrant (Q2) across multiple "quarterly" cycles. In quarterly cycle theory, Q2 represents the "True Open" - a significant reference point where price often returns to during the cycle. This indicator automatically plots these levels across five timeframes, helping you identify key premium/discount zones and potential reversal areas.
WHAT IS A TRUE OPEN?
Each market cycle divides into four quarters (Q1-Q4). The Q2 opening price - the "True Open" - acts as a gravitational level that price tends to respect throughout the cycle. Understanding where these levels sit across multiple timeframes gives you confluence zones for higher-probability trade setups depending on your strategy. It is mostly tailored to quarterly theory traders.
FEATURES
5 Cycle Levels: Micro (~22min), 90-minute, Daily (6H sessions), Weekly, and Monthly True Opens
Auto Display Mode: Automatically shows relevant True Opens based on your chart timeframe
Session Labels: Clear identification of Asia, London, NY, and PM session True Opens
Smart Weekly Detection: Uses trading day logic for accurate Weekly True Open on all assets
DST-Aware: Timezone handling automatically adjusts for daylight saving time
Visual Clarity: Dashed lines during active Q2, solid lines after confirmation
Historical Mode: Option to display past True Opens for backtesting reference
CYCLE BREAKDOWN
Micro: 64 sessions per day (~22.5 min each), 16 micro cycles - ideal for scalping
90-Minute: 4 major sessions (Asia, London, NY, PM) each with 4 quarters - intraday trading
Daily: 4 x 6-hour sessions per day - swing/intraday trade reference, slightly longer term
Weekly: Tuesday open = Weekly True Open (Q2 of the week) - swing trading
Monthly: Second week of month = Monthly True Open - macro bias

Quarterly Theory (Lé Modél) 🧪 [Ultimate +] | cephxsQUARTERLY THEORY (LÉ MODÉL) 🧪
SSMT + Timed Structural Swing Points + Alerts
This is mostly types using voice typing so the punctuation might be off.
This indicator uses public domain information based on a trading system called "Quarterly Theory" by TraderDaye & ICT. All concepts are freely available educational material that's been around for years. I just built a tool to visualize it properly.
WHAT IS THIS?
Alright so basically this is my attempt (pretty good attempt I'd say) at building the ultimate quarterly theory tool. It tracks multiple timeframe cycles (monthly, weekly, daily, 90m, and micro) and detects when correlated assets are diverging from each other at key swing points. That's the SSMT (sequential smt) part otherwise called an Offset Divergence either in an Accumulation/distribution phase of price.
On top of that, it finds timed structural swing points with their exact formation times, detects liquidity purges, and confirms change in state of delivery (CISD) through orderblock reclaims. Everything is wrapped in a pretty comprehensive alert system so you can actually trade off this stuff without staring at charts 24/7.
CORE FEATURES
Multi-Cycle SSMT Detection: tracks divergences across 5 nested cycles - monthly, weekly, daily, 90m, and micro. each cycle has its own visibility gates so you're only seeing what's relevant to your chart timeframe. They are also customizable so you are not restricted to what I think is best; nevertheless, hard gates are put in place to prevent unnecessary data calls too far back into history to allow users of all plans to use without errors (Bar data limits)
Timed Swing Points: every pivot high/low gets timestamped. you'll see exactly when the swing formed - super useful for macro window analysis (those :00-:10 and :50-:00 minute windows).
Liquidity Purges: automatically detects when price sweeps a previous swing high/low and reverses. shows both the sweep level and confirmation.
CISD (Change In State of Delivery): finds the stretch candle at pivots and waits for price to reclaim it. that's your delivery change confirmation.
Auto Asset Detection: just throw it on any chart and it figures out the correlated assets for you. works with indices ( CME_MINI:NQ1! , CME_MINI:ES1! , CBOT_MINI:YM1! ), forex majors ( FOREXCOM:EURUSD , FOREXCOM:GBPUSD ), metals ( FOREXCOM:XAUUSD , FOREXCOM:XAGUSD ), crypto, and more.
Normal + Hidden Divergences: normal divergence is when extremes diverge between assets. hidden divergence uses body closes instead of wicks - sometimes catches moves that normal misses.
Comprehensive Alert System: atomic alerts for individual events, preset combos for multi-confluence setups, and a custom "alert kitchen" to build your own conditions.
Each of these features can be visually disabled individually while the logic is still computed and alerts still function without bother.
THE CYCLES EXPLAINED
quarterly theory breaks time down into nested fractal cycles. each cycle divides into 4 quarters (Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4) where Q2 is typically expansion/displacement:
Monthly Cycle: tracks the 4 weeks of the month. best viewed on 4H charts and above
Weekly Cycle: Mon-Tue-Wed-Thu-Fri as the 5 "quarters". best on 1H charts.
Daily Cycle: the trading day split into 4 sessions (asia, london, ny am, ny pm). best on 15m.
90m Cycle: 6 x 90-minute windows throughout the day. best on 3-5m charts.
Micro Cycle: 22.5-minute quarters within each 90m block. 1m charts only.
Tried to implement a new Quarterly Cycle, will defer that to a later update.
VISIBILITY GATES
the indicator automatically shows/hides cycles based on your chart timeframe. here's how it works:
Auto Mode (recommended):
Micro: 1m only
90m: 3m-5m
Daily: 15m only
Weekly: 1H only
Monthly: 4H only
Extended Mode (more flexibility):
Micro: 1m-3m
90m: 1m-30m
Daily: 5m-1H
Weekly: 15m-4H
Monthly: 4H-1D
you can also set custom ranges or just show everything with "All" mode.
INPUTS BREAKDOWN
Visual Preset
All Features: shows everything - SSMT, time labels, CISD, purges
SSMT + TIME + CISD: hides purge lines for cleaner charts
SSMT + CISD: hides time labels too
SSMT Only: just the divergence lines, nothing else
SSMT Plots (Section 2)
Extreme Detection Mode: "Normal" uses wick extremes, "Hidden" uses body closes, "All" shows both
Per-Cycle Toggles: enable/disable each cycle independently with custom colors
Label Styling: choose between "Cycle + Asset", "Cycle" only, or "Asset" only labels
Pivot Detection (Section 3)
Sensitivity: controls how many bars on each side to confirm a swing (default: 2)
Maximum Points: limits how many pivots are displayed
Pivot Labels (Section 4)
Show Time Labels: displays the exact timestamp of each swing
Key Times Only: only shows labels for swings in macro windows (:00-:10, :24-:36, :50-:59)
Macro Colors: special highlighting for pivots during macro windows
Purge Detection (Section 5-6)
Pending Timeout: how many bars a purge can wait for confirmation before being discarded
Strict Key Time: requires both the sweep AND confirmation to be in key time windows
Dotted Line Offset: how far the confirmation line extends past the reversal candle
CISD Detection (Section 7-8)
Size Filter: filters out tiny orderblocks using ATR-based sizing. options from "Really Small" (shows most) to "Juicy" (only big ones)
Pending Timeout: bars before an unconfirmed CISD expires
Exhaustive Mode: shows all valid CISDs instead of limiting to max count
ALERT SYSTEM
this is where it gets powerful. three tiers of alerts:
Atomic Alerts (individual events):
Swing High/Low formed
Bearish/Bullish Purge confirmed
CISD Confirmed/Pending
Purge + CISD Combo
Preset Combos (multi-confluence):
M/W/D/90/Micro SSMT + CISD: fires when SSMT divergence is active AND CISD confirms in matching direction
Require Matching Purge: adds purge to the combo requirement
Stacked Alerts: triggers when 2+ cycles align simultaneously
Alert Kitchen (custom builder):
build your own combo by selecting:
Which SSMT cycle (with direction: bullish/bearish/any)
Whether CISD is required
Whether matching purge is required
Purge tolerance (how close the purge pivot needs to be)
Session Filter:
all alerts can be filtered to only fire during specific sessions:
Asia: 18:00-00:00 ET
London: 02:00-05:00 ET
NY AM: 08:30-12:00 ET
NY PM: 13:30-16:00 ET
Custom time ranges
AUTO ASSET DETECTION
the indicator uses the AssetCorrelation library to automatically figure out which assets to compare. here's what it supports:
US Indices: CME_MINI:NQ1! , CME_MINI:ES1! , CBOT_MINI:YM1! (or micros MNQ/MES/MYM)
Forex Majors: FOREXCOM:EURUSD , FOREXCOM:GBPUSD vs TVC:DXY
Metals: FOREXCOM:XAUUSD , FOREXCOM:XAGUSD , Copper
Energy: CL (crude), RB (gasoline), HO (heating oil)
Crypto: BTC, ETH, TOTAL3 as triad
EU Indices: GER40, EU50, UK100, ESP35
you can also disable auto mode and manually configure your own asset triads/dyads.
STATUS BAR
optional horizontal bar showing which SSMT cycles are currently active. displays M | W | D | 90m | Micro with color coding:
Blue = bullish divergence active
Red = bearish divergence active
Gray = neutral (no divergence)
Purple = both directions active simultaneously (sandwich)
RECOMMENDED USAGE
start with "Auto" timeframe gating - it shows the right cycles for your chart
focus on cycles that align with your trading style (scalpers: 90m/micro, swing: daily/weekly)
use CISD confirmation before entries - divergence alone isn't enough (at least for me)
Pair with True Opens to align properly (This is a trading model in itself)
set up preset alerts for your main setup (e.g., "D SSMT + CISD" on 15m chart)
filter alerts to your active trading session to reduce noise
TIMEFRAME CHEAT SHEET
1m: Micro cycle + 90m context
3-5m: 90m cycle + Daily context
15m: Daily cycle + Weekly context
1H: Weekly cycle + Monthly context
4H: Monthly cycle only
FAQ
why don't i see any SSMT lines?
check your timeframe gating mode. if you're on a 15m chart with "Auto" mode, you'll only see Daily cycle. switch to "Extended" or "All" to see more cycles.
what's the difference between normal and hidden divergence?
normal uses wick highs/lows, hidden uses body closes. hidden can catch divergences that wicks miss, but it's also noisier.
Why do some CISDs not confirm?
the stretch candle needs to be reclaimed by price within the timeout window. if price never comes back to that level, the CISD expires.
can i use this on stocks?
technically yes, but you'll need to manually configure your asset pairs since auto-detection focuses on futures/forex/crypto.
DISCLAIMER

Luxy Super-Duper SuperTrend Predictor Engine and Buy/Sell signalA professional trend-following grading system that analyzes historical trend
patterns to provide statistical duration estimates using advanced similarity
matching and k-nearest neighbors analysis. Combines adaptive Supertrend with
intelligent duration statistics, multi-timeframe confluence, volume confirmation,
and quality scoring to identify high-probability setups with data-driven
target ranges across all timeframes.
Note: All duration estimates are statistical calculations based on historical data, not guarantees of future performance.
WHAT MAKES THIS DIFFERENT
Unlike traditional SuperTrend indicators that only tell you trend direction, this system answers the critical question: "What is the typical duration for trends like this?"
The Statistical Analysis Engine:
• Analyzes your chart's last 15+ completed SuperTrend trends (bullish and bearish separately)
• Uses k-nearest neighbors similarity matching to find historically similar setups
• Calculates statistical duration estimates based on current market conditions
• Learns from estimation errors and adapts over time (Advanced mode)
• Displays visual duration analysis box showing median, average, and range estimates
• Tracks Statistical accuracy with backtest statistics
Complete Trading System:
• Statistical trend duration analysis with three intelligence levels
• Adaptive Supertrend with dynamic ATR-based bands
• Multi-timeframe confluence analysis (6 timeframes: 5M to 1W)
• Volume confirmation with spike detection and momentum tracking
• Quality scoring system (0-70 points) rating each setup
• One-click preset optimization for all trading styles
• Anti-repaint guarantee on all signals and duration estimates
METHODOLOGY CREDITS
This indicator's approach is inspired by proven trading methodologies from respected market educators:
• Mark Minervini - Volatility Contraction Pattern (VCP) and pullback entry techniques
• William O'Neil - Volume confirmation principles and institutional buying patterns (CANSLIM methodology)
• Dan Zanger - Volatility expansion entries and momentum breakout strategies
Important: These are educational references only. This indicator does not guarantee any specific trading results. Always conduct your own analysis and risk management.
KEY FEATURES
1. TREND DURATION ANALYSIS SYSTEM - The Core Innovation
The statistical analysis engine is what sets this indicator apart from standard SuperTrend systems. It doesn't just identify trend changes - it provides statistical analysis of potential duration.
How It Works:
Step 1: Historical Tracking
• Automatically records every completed SuperTrend trend (duration in bars)
• Maintains separate databases for bullish trends and bearish trends
• Stores up to 15 most recent trends of each type
• Captures market conditions at each trend flip: volume ratio, ATR ratio, quality score, price distance from SuperTrend, proximity to support/resistance
Step 2: Similarity Matching (k-Nearest Neighbors)
• When new trend begins, system compares current conditions to ALL historical flips
• Calculates similarity score based on:
- Volume similarity (30% weight) - Is volume behaving similarly?
- Volatility similarity (30% weight) - Is ATR/volatility similar?
- Quality similarity (20% weight) - Is setup strength comparable?
- Distance similarity (10% weight) - Is price distance from ST similar?
- Support/Resistance proximity (10% weight) - Similar structural context?
• Selects the 15 MOST SIMILAR historical trends (not just all trends)
• This is like asking: "When conditions looked like this before, how long did trends last?"
Step 3: Statistical Analysis
• Calculates median duration (most common outcome)
• Calculates average duration (mean of similar trends)
• Determines realistic range (min to max of similar trends)
• Applies exponential weighting (recent trends weighted more heavily)
• Outputs confidence-weighted statistical estimate
Step 4: Advanced Intelligence (Advanced Mode Only)
The Advanced mode applies five sophisticated multipliers to refine estimates:
A) Market Structure Multiplier (±30%):
• Detects nearby support/resistance levels using pivot detection
• If flip occurs NEAR a key level: Estimate adjusted -30% (expect bounce/rejection)
• If flip occurs in open space: Estimate adjusted +30% (clear path for continuation)
• Uses configurable lookback period and ATR-based proximity threshold
B) Asset Type Multiplier (±40%):
• Adjusts duration estimates based on asset volatility characteristics
• Small Cap / Biotech: +40% (explosive, extended moves)
• Tech Growth: +20% (momentum-driven, longer trends)
• Blue Chip / Large Cap: 0% (baseline, steady trends)
• Dividend / Value: -20% (slower, grinding trends)
• Cyclical: Variable based on macro regime
• Crypto / High Volatility: +30% (parabolic potential)
C) Flip Strength Multiplier (±20%):
• Analyzes the QUALITY of the trend flip itself
• Strong flip (high volume + expanding ATR + quality score 60+): +20%
• Weak flip (low volume + contracting ATR + quality score under 40): -20%
• Logic: Historical data shows that powerful flips tend to be followed by longer trends
D) Error Learning Multiplier (±15%):
• Tracks Statistical accuracy over last 10 completed trends
• Calculates error ratio: (estimated duration / Actual Duration)
• If system consistently over-estimates: Apply -15% correction
• If system consistently under-estimates: Apply +15% correction
• Learns and adapts to current market regime
E) Regime Detection Multiplier (±20%):
• Analyzes last 3 trends of SAME TYPE (bull-to-bull or bear-to-bear)
• Compares recent trend durations to historical average
• If recent trends 20%+ longer than average: +20% adjustment (trending regime detected)
• If recent trends 20%+ shorter than average: -20% adjustment (choppy regime detected)
• Detects whether market is in trending or mean-reversion mode
Three analysis modes:
SIMPLE MODE - Basic Statistics
• Uses raw median of similar trends only
• No multipliers, no adjustments
• Best for: Beginners, clean trending markets
• Fastest calculations, minimal complexity
STANDARD MODE - Full Statistical Analysis
• Similarity matching with k-nearest neighbors
• Exponential weighting of recent trends
• Median, average, and range calculations
• Best for: Most traders, general market conditions
• Balance of accuracy and simplicity
ADVANCED MODE - Statistics + Intelligence
• Everything in Standard mode PLUS
• All 5 advanced multipliers (structure, asset type, flip strength, learning, regime)
• Highest Statistical accuracy in testing
• Best for: Experienced traders, volatile/complex markets
• Maximum intelligence, most adaptive
Visual Duration Analysis Box:
When a new trend begins (SuperTrend flip), a box appears on your chart showing:
• Analysis Mode (Simple / Standard / Advanced)
• Number of historical trends analyzed
• Median expected duration (most likely outcome)
• Average expected duration (mean of similar trends)
• Range (minimum to maximum from similar trends)
• Advanced multipliers breakdown (Advanced mode only)
• Backtest accuracy statistics (if available)
The box extends from the flip bar to the estimated endpoint based on historical data, giving you a visual target for trend duration. Box updates in real-time as trend progresses.
Backtest & Accuracy Tracking:
• System backtests its own duration estimates using historical data
• Shows accuracy metrics: how well duration estimates matched actual durations
• Tracks last 10 completed duration estimates separately
• Displays statistics in dashboard and duration analysis boxes
• Helps you understand statistical reliability on your specific symbol/timeframe
Anti-Repaint Guarantee:
• duration analysis boxes only appear AFTER bar close (barstate.isconfirmed)
• Historical duration estimates never disappear or change
• What you see in history is exactly what you would have seen real-time
• No future data leakage, no lookahead bias
2. INTELLIGENT PRESET CONFIGURATIONS - One-Click Optimization
Unlike indicators that require tedious parameter tweaking, this system includes professionally optimized presets for every trading style. Select your approach from the dropdown and ALL parameters auto-configure.
"AUTO (DETECT FROM TF)" - RECOMMENDED
The smartest option: automatically selects optimal settings based on your chart timeframe.
• 1m-5m charts → Scalping preset (ATR: 7, Mult: 2.0)
• 15m-1h charts → Day Trading preset (ATR: 10, Mult: 2.5)
• 2h-4h-D charts → Swing Trading preset (ATR: 14, Mult: 3.0)
• W-M charts → Position Trading preset (ATR: 21, Mult: 4.0)
Benefits:
• Zero configuration - works immediately
• Always matched to your timeframe
• Switch timeframe = automatic adjustment
• Perfect for traders who use multiple timeframes
"SCALPING (1-5M)" - Ultra-Fast Signals

• Volume Momentum: AUTO-DISABLED (too restrictive for fast scalping)
• Quality minimum: 40 points (accepts more setups)
• Duration Analysis: Uses last 15 trends with heavy recent weighting
Trading Logic:
Speed over precision. Short ATR period and low multiplier create highly responsive SuperTrend. Volume momentum filter disabled to avoid missing fast moves. Quality threshold relaxed to catch more opportunities in rapid market conditions.
Signals per session: 5-15 typically
Hold time: Minutes to couple hours
Best for: Active traders with fast execution
"DAY TRADING (15M-1H)" - Balanced Approach
Optimized for: 15-minute to 1-hour charts, intraday moves, session-based trading
Target holding period: 30 minutes to 8 hours (within trading day)
Best markets: Large-cap stocks, major indices, established crypto
Parameter Configuration:

3. QUALITY SCORING SYSTEM (0-70 Points)
Every signal is rated in real-time across three dimensions:
Volume Confirmation (0-30 points):
• Volume Spike (2.5x+ average): 30 points
• High Volume (1.5x+ average): 20 points
• Above Average (1.0x+ average): 10 points
• Below Average: 0 points
Volatility Assessment (0-30 points):
• Expanding ATR (1.2x+ average): 30 points
• Rising ATR (1.0-1.2x average): 15 points
• Contracting/Stable ATR: 0 points
Volume Momentum (0-10 points):
• Strong Momentum (1.2x+ ratio): 10 points
• Rising Momentum (1.0-1.2x ratio): 5 points
• Weak/Neutral Momentum: 0 points
Score Interpretation:
60-70 points - EXCELLENT:
• All factors aligned
• High conviction setup
• Maximum position size (within risk limits)
• Primary trading opportunities
45-59 points - STRONG:
• Multiple confirmations present
• Above-average setup quality
• Standard position size
• Good trading opportunities
30-44 points - GOOD:
• Basic confirmations met
• Acceptable setup quality
• Reduced position size
• Wait for additional confirmation or trade smaller
Below 30 points - WEAK:
• Minimal confirmations
• Low probability setup
• Consider passing
• Only for aggressive traders in strong trends
Only signals meeting your minimum quality threshold (configurable per preset) generate alerts and labels.
4. MULTI-TIMEFRAME CONFLUENCE ANALYSIS
The system can simultaneously analyze trend alignment across 6 timeframes (optional feature):
Timeframes analyzed:
• 5-minute (scalping context)
• 15-minute (intraday momentum)
• 1-hour (day trading bias)
• 4-hour (swing context)
• Daily (primary trend)
• Weekly (macro trend)
Confluence Interpretation:
• 5-6/6 aligned - Very strong multi-timeframe agreement (highest confidence)
• 3-4/6 aligned - Moderate agreement (standard setup)
• 1-2/6 aligned - Weak agreement (caution advised)
Dashboard shows real-time alignment count with color-coding. Higher confluence typically correlates with longer, stronger trends.
5. VOLUME MOMENTUM FILTER - Institutional Money Flow
Unlike traditional volume indicators that just measure size, Volume Momentum tracks the RATE OF CHANGE in volume:
How it works:
• Compares short-term volume average (fast period) to long-term average (slow period)
• Ratio above 1.0 = Volume accelerating (money flowing IN)
• Ratio above 1.2 = Strong acceleration (institutional participation likely)
• Ratio below 0.8 = Volume decelerating (money flowing OUT)
Why it matters:
• Confirms trend with actual money flow, not just price
• Leading indicator (volume often leads price)
• Catches accumulation/distribution before breakouts
• More intuitive than complex mathematical filters
Integration with signals:
• Optional filter - can be enabled/disabled per preset
• When enabled: Only signals with rising volume momentum fire
• AUTO-DISABLED in Scalping mode (too restrictive for fast trading)
• Configurable fast/slow periods per trading style
6. ADAPTIVE SUPERTREND MULTIPLIER
Traditional SuperTrend uses fixed ATR multiplier. This system dynamically adjusts the multiplier (0.8x to 1.2x base) based on:
• Trend Strength: Price correlation over lookback period
• Volume Weight: Current volume relative to average
Benefits:
• Tighter bands in calm markets (less premature exits)
• Wider bands in volatile conditions (avoids whipsaws)
• Better adaptation to biotech, small-cap, and crypto volatility
• Optional - can be disabled for classic constant multiplier
7. VISUAL GRADIENT RIBBON
26-layer exponential gradient fill between price and SuperTrend line provides instant visual trend strength assessment:
Color System:
• Green shades - Bullish trend + volume confirmation (strongest)
• Blue shades - Bullish trend, normal volume
• Orange shades - Bearish trend + volume confirmation
• Red shades - Bearish trend (weakest)
Opacity varies based on:
• Distance from SuperTrend (farther = more opaque)
• Volume intensity (higher volume = stronger color)
The ribbon provides at-a-glance trend strength without cluttering your chart. Can be toggled on/off.
8. INTELLIGENT ALERT SYSTEM
Two-tier alert architecture for flexibility:
Automatic Alerts:
• Fire automatically on BUY and SELL signals
• Include full context: quality score, volume state, volume momentum
• One alert per bar close (alert.freq_once_per_bar_close)
• Message format: "BUY: Supertrend bullish + Quality: 65/70 | Volume: HIGH | Vol Momentum: STRONG (1.35x)"
Customizable Alert Conditions:
• Appear in TradingView's "Create Alert" dialog
• Three options: BUY Signal Only, SELL Signal Only, ANY Signal (BUY or SELL)
• Use TradingView placeholders: {{ticker}}, {{interval}}, {{close}}, {{time}}
• Fully customizable message templates
All alerts use barstate.isconfirmed - Zero repaint guarantee.
9. ANTI-REPAINT ARCHITECTURE
Every component guaranteed non-repainting:
• Entry signals: Only appear after bar close
• duration analysis boxes: Created only on confirmed SuperTrend flips
• Informative labels: Wait for bar confirmation
• Alerts: Fire once per closed bar
• Multi-timeframe data: Uses lookahead=barmerge.lookahead_off
What you see in history is exactly what you would have seen in real-time. No disappearing signals, no changed duration estimates.

USING duration analysis boxES FOR TRADE MANAGEMENT:
Entry Timing:
• Enter on SuperTrend flip (signal bar close)
• duration analysis box appears simultaneously
• Note the median duration - this is your expected hold time
Profit Targets:
• Conservative: Use MEDIAN duration as profit target (50% probability)
• Moderate: Use AVERAGE duration (mean of similar trends)
• Aggressive: Aim for MAX duration from range (best historical outcome)
Position Management:
• Scale out at median duration (take partial profits)
• Trail stop as trend extends beyond median
• Full exit at average duration or SuperTrend flip (whichever comes first)
• Re-evaluate if trend exceeds estimated range
analysis mode Selection:
• Simple: Clean trending markets, beginners, minimal complexity
• Standard: Most markets, most traders (recommended default)
• Advanced: Volatile markets, complex instruments, experienced traders seeking highest accuracy
Asset Type Configuration (Advanced Mode):
If using Advanced analysis mode, configure Asset Type for optimal accuracy:
• Small Cap: Stocks under $2B market cap, low liquidity
• Biotech / Speculative: Clinical-stage pharma, penny stocks, high-risk
• Blue Chip / Large Cap: S&P 500, mega-cap tech, stable large companies
• Tech Growth: High-growth tech (TSLA, NVDA, growth SaaS)
• Dividend / Value: Dividend aristocrats, value stocks, utilities
• Cyclical: Energy, materials, industrials (macro-driven)
• Crypto / High Volatility: Bitcoin, altcoins, highly volatile assets
Correct asset type selection improves Statistical accuracy by 15-20%.
RISK MANAGEMENT GUIDELINES:
1. Stop Loss Placement:
Long positions:
• Place stop below recent swing low OR
• Place stop below SuperTrend level (whichever is tighter)
• Use 1-2 ATR distance as guideline
• Recommended: SuperTrend level (built-in volatility adjustment)
Short positions:
• Place stop above recent swing high OR
• Place stop above SuperTrend level (whichever is tighter)
• Use 1-2 ATR distance as guideline
• Recommended: SuperTrend level
2. Position Sizing by Quality Score:
• Excellent (60-70): Maximum position size (2% risk per trade)
• Strong (45-59): Standard position size (1.5% risk per trade)
• Good (30-44): Reduced position size (1% risk per trade)
• Weak (Below 30): Pass or micro position (0.5% risk - learning trades only)
3. Exit Strategy Options:
Option A - Statistical Duration-Based Exit:
• Exit at median estimated duration (conservative)
• Exit at average estimated duration (moderate)
• Trail stop beyond average duration (aggressive)
Option B - Signal-Based Exit:
• Exit on opposite signal (SELL after BUY, or vice versa)
• Exit on SuperTrend flip (trend reversal)
• Exit if quality score drops below 30 mid-trend
Option C - Hybrid (Recommended):
• Take 50% profit at median estimated duration
• Trail stop on remaining 50% using SuperTrend as trailing level
• Full exit on SuperTrend flip or quality collapse
4. Trade Filtering:
For higher win-rate (fewer trades, better quality):
• Increase minimum quality score (try 60 for swing, 50 for day trading)
• Enable volume momentum filter (ensure institutional participation)
• Require higher MTF confluence (5-6/6 alignment)
• Use Advanced analysis mode with appropriate asset type
For more opportunities (more trades, lower quality threshold):
• Decrease minimum quality score (40 for day trading, 35 for scalping)
• Disable volume momentum filter
• Lower MTF confluence requirement
• Use Simple or Standard analysis mode

ADVANCED FEATURES
1. Scalpel Mode (Optional)
Advanced pullback entry system that waits for healthy retracements within established trends before signaling entry:
• Monitors price distance from SuperTrend levels
• Requires pullback to configurable range (default: 30-50%)
• Ensures trend remains intact before entry signal
• Reduces whipsaw and false breakouts
• Inspired by Mark Minervini's VCP pullback entries
Best for: Swing traders and day traders seeking precision entries
Scalpers: Consider disabling for faster entries
2. Error Learning System (Advanced analysis mode Only)
The system learns from its own estimation errors:
• Tracks last 10-20 completed duration estimates (configurable memory depth)
• Calculates error ratio for each: estimated duration / Actual Duration
• If system consistently over-estimates: Applies negative correction (-15%)
• If system consistently under-estimates: Applies positive correction (+15%)
• Adapts to current market regime automatically
This self-correction mechanism improves accuracy over time as the system gathers more data on your specific symbol and timeframe.
3. Regime Detection (Advanced analysis mode Only)
Automatically detects whether market is in trending or choppy regime:
• Compares last 3 trends to historical average
• Recent trends 20%+ longer → Trending regime (+20% to estimates)
• Recent trends 20%+ shorter → Choppy regime (-20% to estimates)
• Applied separately to bullish and bearish trends
Helps duration estimates adapt to changing market conditions without manual intervention.
4. Exponential Weighting
Option to weight recent trends more heavily than distant history:
• Default decay factor: 0.9
• Recent trends get higher weight in statistical calculations
• Older trends gradually decay in importance
• Rationale: Recent market behavior more relevant than old data
• Can be disabled for equal weighting
5. Backtest Statistics
System backtests its own duration estimates using historical data:
• Walks through past trends chronologically
• Calculates what duration estimate WOULD have been at each flip
• Compares to actual duration that occurred
• Displays accuracy metrics in duration analysis boxes and dashboard
• Helps assess statistical reliability on your specific chart
Note: Backtest uses only data available AT THE TIME of each historical flip (no lookahead bias).

• Works on any timeframe from 1 minute to monthly
KNOWN LIMITATIONS
• Trending Markets Only: Performs best in clear trends. May generate false signals in choppy/sideways markets (use quality score filtering and regime detection to mitigate)
• Lagging Nature: Like all trend-following systems, signals occur AFTER trend establishment, not at exact tops/bottoms. Use duration analysis boxes to set realistic profit targets.
• Initial Learning Period: Duration analysis system requires 10-15 completed trends to build reliable historical database. Early duration estimates less accurate (first few weeks on new symbol/timeframe).
• Visual Load: 26-layer gradient ribbon may slow performance on older devices. Disable ribbon if experiencing lag.
• Statistical accuracy Variables: Duration estimates are statistical estimates, not guarantees. Accuracy varies by:
- Market regime (trending vs choppy)
- Asset volatility characteristics
- Quality of historical pattern matches
- Timeframe traded (higher TF = more reliable)
• Not Best Suitable For:
- Ultra-short-term scalping (sub-1-minute charts)
- Mean-reversion strategies (designed for trend-following)
- Range-bound trading (requires trending conditions)
- News-driven spikes (estimates based on technical patterns, not fundamentals)
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q: Does this indicator repaint?
A: Absolutely not. All signals, duration analysis boxes, labels, and alerts use barstate.isconfirmed checks. They only appear after the bar closes. What you see in history is exactly what you would have seen in real-time. Zero repaint guarantee.
Q: How accurate are the trend duration estimates?
A: Accuracy varies by mode, market conditions, and historical data quality:
• Simple mode: 60-70% accuracy (within ±20% of actual duration)
• Standard mode: 70-80% accuracy (within ±20% of actual duration)
• Advanced mode: 75-85% accuracy (within ±20% of actual duration)
Best accuracy achieved on:
• Higher timeframes (4H, Daily, Weekly)
• Trending markets (not choppy/sideways)
• Assets with consistent behavior (Blue Chip, Large Cap)
• After 20+ historical trends analyzed (builds robust database)
Remember: All duration estimates are statistical calculations based on historical patterns, not guarantees.
Q: Which analysis mode should I use?
A:
• Simple: Beginners, clean trending markets, want minimal complexity
• Standard: Most traders, general market conditions (RECOMMENDED DEFAULT)
• Advanced: Experienced traders, volatile/complex markets (biotech, small-cap, crypto), seeking maximum accuracy
Advanced mode requires correct Asset Type configuration for optimal results.
Q: What's the difference between the trading style presets?
A: Each preset optimizes ALL parameters for a specific trading approach:
• Scalping: Ultra-sensitive (ATR 7, Mult 2.0), more signals, shorter holds
• Day Trading: Balanced (ATR 10, Mult 2.5), moderate signals, intraday holds
• Swing Trading: Stable (ATR 14, Mult 3.0), fewer signals, multi-day holds
• Position Trading: Very stable (ATR 21, Mult 4.0), rare signals, week/month holds
Auto mode automatically selects based on your chart timeframe.
Q: Should I use Auto mode or manually select a preset?
A: Auto mode is recommended for most traders. It automatically matches settings to your timeframe and re-optimizes if you switch charts. Only use manual preset selection if:
• You want scalping settings on a 15m chart (overriding auto-detection)
• You want swing settings on a 1h chart (more conservative than auto would give)
• You're testing different approaches on same timeframe
Q: Can I use this for scalping and day trading?
A: Absolutely! The preset system is specifically designed for all trading styles:
• Select "Scalping (1-5m)" for 1-5 minute charts
• Select "Day Trading (15m-1h)" for 15m-1h charts
• Or use "Auto" mode and it configures automatically
Volume momentum filter is auto-disabled in Scalping mode for faster signals.
Q: What is Volume Momentum and why does it matter?
A: Volume Momentum compares short-term volume (fast MA) to long-term volume (slow MA). It answers: "Is money flowing into this asset faster now than historically?"
Why it matters:
• Volume often leads price (early warning system)
• Confirms institutional participation (smart money)
• No lag like price-based indicators
• More intuitive than complex mathematical filters
When the ratio is above 1.2, you have strong evidence that institutions are accumulating (bullish) or distributing (bearish).
Q: How do I set up alerts?
A: Two options:
Option 1 - Automatic Alerts:
1. Right-click on chart → Add Alert
2. Condition: Select this indicator
3. Choose "Any alert() function call"
4. Configure notification method (app, email, webhook)
5. You'll receive detailed alerts on every BUY and SELL signal
Option 2 - Customizable Alert Conditions:
1. Right-click on chart → Add Alert
2. Condition: Select this indicator
3. You'll see three options in dropdown:
- "BUY Signal" (long signals only)
- "SELL Signal" (short signals only)
- "ANY Signal" (both BUY and SELL)
4. Choose desired option and customize message template
5. Uses TradingView placeholders: {{ticker}}, {{close}}, {{time}}, etc.
All alerts fire only on confirmed bar close (no repaint).
Q: What is Scalpel Mode and should I use it?
A: Scalpel Mode waits for healthy pullbacks within established trends before signaling entry. It reduces whipsaws and improves entry timing.
Recommended ON for:
• Swing traders (want precision entries on pullbacks)
• Day traders (willing to wait for better prices)
• Risk-averse traders (prefer fewer but higher-quality entries)
Recommended OFF for:
• Scalpers (need immediate entries, can't wait for pullbacks)
• Momentum traders (want to enter on breakout, not pullback)
• Aggressive traders (prefer more opportunities over precision)
Q: Why do some duration estimates show wider ranges than others?
A: Range width reflects historical trend variability:
• Narrow range: Similar historical trends had consistent durations (high confidence)
• Wide range: Similar historical trends had varying durations (lower confidence)
Wide ranges often occur:
• Early in analysis (fewer historical trends to learn from)
• In volatile/choppy markets (inconsistent trend behavior)
• On lower timeframes (more noise, less consistency)
The median and average still provide useful targets even when range is wide.
Q: Can I customize the dashboard position and appearance?
A: Yes! Dashboard settings include:
• Position: 9 options (Top/Middle/Bottom + Left/Center/Right)
• Text Size: Auto, Tiny, Small, Normal, Large, Huge
• Show/Hide: Toggle entire dashboard on/off
Choose position that doesn't overlap important price action on your specific chart.
Q: Which timeframe should I trade on?
A: Depends on your trading style and time availability:
• 1-5 minute: Active scalping, requires constant monitoring
• 15m-1h: Day trading, check few times per session
• 4h-Daily: Swing trading, check once or twice daily
• Daily-Weekly: Position trading, check weekly
General principle: Higher timeframes produce:
• Fewer signals (less frequent)
• Higher quality setups (stronger confirmations)
• More reliable duration estimates (better statistical data)
• Less noise (clearer trends)
Start with Daily chart if new to trading. Move to lower timeframes as you gain experience.
Q: Does this work on all markets (stocks, crypto, forex)?
A: Yes, it works on all markets with trending characteristics:
Excellent for:
• Stocks (especially growth and momentum names)
• Crypto (BTC, ETH, major altcoins)
• Futures (indices, commodities)
• Forex majors (EUR/USD, GBP/USD, etc.)
Best results on:
• Trending markets (not range-bound)
• Liquid instruments (tight spreads, good fills)
• Volatile assets (clear trend development)
Less effective on:
• Range-bound/sideways markets
• Ultra-low volatility instruments
• Illiquid small-caps (use caution)
Configure Asset Type (in Advanced analysis mode) to match your instrument for best accuracy.
Q: How many signals should I expect per day/week?
A: Highly variable based on:
By Timeframe:
• 1-5 minute: 5-15 signals per session
• 15m-1h: 2-5 signals per day
• 4h-Daily: 2-5 signals per week
• Daily-Weekly: 1-2 signals per month
By Market Volatility:
• High volatility = more SuperTrend flips = more signals
• Low volatility = fewer flips = fewer signals
By Quality Filter:
• Higher threshold (60-70) = fewer but better signals
• Lower threshold (30-40) = more signals, lower quality
By Volume Momentum Filter:
• Enabled = Fewer signals (only volume-confirmed)
• Disabled = More signals (all SuperTrend flips)
Adjust quality threshold and filters to match your desired signal frequency.
Q: What's the difference between entry labels and info labels?
A:
Entry Labels (BUY/SELL):
• Your primary trading signals
• Based on SuperTrend flip + all confirmations (quality, volume, momentum)
• Include quality score and confirmation icons
• These are actionable entry points
Info Labels (Volume Spike):
• Additional market context
• Show volume events that may support or contradict trend
• 8-bar cooldown to prevent spam
• NOT necessarily entry points - contextual information only
Control separately: Can show entry labels without info labels (recommended for clean charts).
Q: Can I combine this with other indicators?
A: Absolutely! This works well with:
• RSI: For divergences and overbought/oversold conditions
• Support/Resistance: Confluence with key levels
• Fibonacci Retracements: Pullback targets in Scalpel Mode
• Price Action Patterns: Flags, pennants, cup-and-handle
• MACD: Additional momentum confirmation
• Bollinger Bands: Volatility context
This indicator provides trend direction and duration estimates - complement with other tools for entry refinement and additional confluence.
Q: Why did I get a low-quality signal? Can I filter them out?
A: Yes! Increase the Minimum Quality Score in settings.
If you're seeing signals with quality below your preference:
• Day Trading: Set minimum to 50
• Swing Trading: Set minimum to 60
• Position Trading: Set minimum to 70
Only signals meeting the threshold will appear. This reduces frequency but improves win-rate.
Q: How do I interpret the MTF Confluence count?
A: Shows how many of 6 timeframes agree with current trend:
• 6/6 aligned: Perfect agreement (extremely rare, highest confidence)
• 5/6 aligned: Very strong alignment (high confidence)
• 4/6 aligned: Good alignment (standard quality setup)
• 3/6 aligned: Moderate alignment (acceptable)
• 2/6 aligned: Weak alignment (caution)
• 1/6 aligned: Very weak (likely counter-trend)
Higher confluence typically correlates with longer, stronger trends. However, MTF analysis is optional - you can disable it and rely solely on quality scoring.
Q: Is this suitable for beginners?
A: Yes, but requires foundational knowledge:
You should understand:
• Basic trend-following concepts (higher highs, higher lows)
• Risk management principles (position sizing, stop losses)
• How to read candlestick charts
• What volume and volatility mean
Beginner-friendly features:
• Auto preset mode (zero configuration)
• Quality scoring (tells you signal strength)
• Dashboard tooltips (hover for explanations)
• duration analysis boxes (visual profit targets)
Recommended for beginners:
1. Start with "Auto" or "Swing Trading" preset on Daily chart
2. Use Standard Analysis Mode (not Advanced)
3. Set minimum quality to 60 (fewer but better signals)
4. Paper trade first for 2-4 weeks
5. Study methodology references (Minervini, O'Neil, Zanger)
Q: What is the Asset Type setting and why does it matter?
A: Asset Type (in Advanced analysis mode) adjusts duration estimates based on volatility characteristics:
• Small Cap: Explosive moves, extended trends (+30-40%)
• Biotech / Speculative: Parabolic potential, news-driven (+40%)
• Blue Chip / Large Cap: Baseline, steady trends (0% adjustment)
• Tech Growth: Momentum-driven, longer trends (+20%)
• Dividend / Value: Slower, grinding trends (-20%)
• Cyclical: Macro-driven, variable (±10%)
• Crypto / High Volatility: Parabolic potential (+30%)
Correct configuration improves Statistical accuracy by 15-20%. Using Blue Chip settings on a biotech stock may underestimate trend length (you'll exit too early).
Q: Can I backtest this indicator?
A: Yes! TradingView's Strategy Tester works with this indicator's signals.
To backtest:
1. Note the entry conditions (SuperTrend flip + quality threshold + filters)
2. Create a strategy script using same logic
3. Run Strategy Tester on historical data
Additionally, the indicator includes BUILT-IN duration estimate validation:
• System backtests its own duration estimates
• Shows accuracy metrics in dashboard and duration analysis boxes
• Helps assess reliability on your specific symbol/timeframe
Q: Why does Volume Momentum auto-disable in Scalping mode?
A: Scalping requires ultra-fast entries to catch quick moves. Volume Momentum filter adds friction by requiring volume confirmation before signaling, which can cause missed opportunities in rapid scalping.
Scalping preset is optimized for speed and frequency - the filter is counterproductive for that style. It remains enabled for Day Trading, Swing Trading, and Position Trading presets where patience improves results.
You can manually enable it in Custom mode if desired.
Q: How much historical data do I need for accurate duration estimates?
A:
Minimum: 50-100 bars (indicator will function but duration estimates less reliable)
Recommended: 500+ bars (robust statistical database)
Optimal: 1000+ bars (maximum Statistical accuracy)
More history = more completed trends = better pattern matching = more accurate duration estimates.
New symbols or newly-switched timeframes will have lower Statistical accuracy initially. Allow 2-4 weeks for the system to build historical database.
IMPORTANT DISCLAIMERS

Composite Time ProfileComposite Time Profile Overlay (CTPO) - Market Profile Compositing Tool
Automatically composite multiple time periods to identify key areas of balance and market structure
What is the Composite Time Profile Overlay?
The Composite Time Profile Overlay (CTPO) is a Pine Script indicator that automatically composites multiple time periods to identify key areas of balance and market structure. It's designed for traders who use market profile concepts and need to quickly identify where price is likely to find support or resistance.
The indicator analyzes TPO (Time Price Opportunity) data across different timeframes and merges overlapping profiles to create composite levels that represent the most significant areas of balance. This helps you spot where institutional traders are likely to make decisions based on accumulated price action.
Why Use CTPO for Market Profile Trading?
Eliminate Manual Compositing Work
Instead of manually drawing and compositing profiles across different timeframes, CTPO does this automatically. You get instant access to composite levels without spending time analyzing each individual period.
Spot Areas of Balance Quickly
The indicator highlights the most significant areas of balance by compositing overlapping profiles. These areas often act as support and resistance levels because they represent where the most trading activity occurred across multiple time periods.
Focus on What Matters
Rather than getting lost in individual session profiles, CTPO shows you the composite levels that have been validated across multiple timeframes. This helps you focus on the levels that are most likely to hold.
How CTPO Works for Market Profile Traders
Automatic Profile Compositing
CTPO uses a proprietary algorithm that:
- Identifies period boundaries based on your selected timeframe (sessions, daily, weekly, monthly, or auto-detection)
- Calculates TPO profiles for each period using the C2M (Composite 2 Method) row sizing calculation
- Merges overlapping profiles using configurable overlap thresholds (default 50% overlap required)
- Updates composite levels as new price action develops in real-time
Key Levels for Market Profile Analysis
The indicator displays:
- Value Area High (VAH) and Value Area Low (VAL) levels calculated from composite TPO data
- Point of Control (POC) levels where most trading occurred across all composited periods
- Composite zones representing areas of balance with configurable transparency
- 1.618 Fibonacci extensions for breakout targets based on composite range
Multiple Timeframe Support
- Sessions: For intraday market profile analysis
- Daily: For swing trading with daily profiles
- Weekly: For position trading with weekly structure
- Monthly: For long-term market profile analysis
- Auto: Automatically selects timeframe based on your chart
Trading Applications for Market Profile Users
Support and Resistance Trading
Use composite levels as dynamic support and resistance zones. These levels often hold because they represent areas where significant trading decisions were made across multiple timeframes.
Breakout Trading
When composite levels break, they often lead to significant moves. The indicator calculates 1.618 Fibonacci extensions to give you clear targets for breakout trades.
Mean Reversion Strategies
Value Area levels represent the price range where most trading activity occurred. These levels often act as magnets, drawing price back when it moves too far from the mean.
Institutional Level Analysis
Composite levels represent areas where institutional traders have made significant decisions. These levels often hold more weight than traditional technical analysis levels because they're based on actual trading activity.
Key Features for Market Profile Traders

- Eliminates clutter from individual session profiles
- Focuses on areas of balance that matter most to current price action
Real-World Trading Examples
Day Trading with Session Composites
Use session-based composites to identify intraday areas of balance. The VAH and VAL levels often act as natural profit targets and stop-loss levels for scalping strategies.
Swing Trading with Daily Composites
Daily composites provide excellent swing trading levels. Look for price reactions at composite zones and use the 1.618 extensions for profit targets.
Position Trading with Weekly Composites
Weekly composites help identify major trend changes and long-term areas of balance. These levels often hold for months or even years.
Risk Management
Composite levels provide natural stop-loss levels. If a composite level breaks, it often signals a significant shift in market sentiment, making it an ideal place to exit losing positions.
Why Composite Levels Work
Composite levels work because they represent areas where significant trading decisions were made across multiple timeframes. When price returns to these levels, traders often remember the previous price action and make similar decisions, creating self-fulfilling prophecies.
The compositing process uses a proprietary algorithm that ensures only levels validated across multiple time periods are displayed. This means you're looking at levels that have proven their significance through actual market behavior, not just random technical levels.
Technical Foundation
The indicator uses TPO (Time Price Opportunity) data combined with price action analysis to identify areas of balance. The C2M row sizing method ensures accurate profile calculations, while the overlap detection algorithm (minimum 50% price range intersection) ensures only truly significant composites are displayed. The algorithm calculates row size based on ATR (Average True Range) divided by 10, then converts to tick size for precise level calculations.
How the Code Actually Works
1. Period Detection and ATR Calculation
The code first determines the appropriate timeframe based on your chart:
- 1m-5m charts: Session-based profiles
- 15m-2h charts: Daily profiles
- 4h charts: Weekly profiles
- 1D charts: Monthly profiles
For each period type, it calculates the number of bars needed for ATR calculation:
- Sessions: 540 minutes divided by chart timeframe
- Daily: 1440 minutes divided by chart timeframe
- Weekly: 7 days worth of minutes divided by chart timeframe
- Monthly: 30 days worth of minutes divided by chart timeframe
2. C2M Row Size Calculation
The code calculates True Range for each bar in the determined period:
- True Range = max(high-low, |high-prevClose|, |low-prevClose|)
- Averages all True Range values to get ATR
- Row Size = (ATR / 10) converted to tick size
- This ensures each TPO row represents a meaningful price movement
3. TPO Profile Generation
For each period, the code:
- Creates price levels from lowest to highest price in the range
- Each level is separated by the calculated row size
- Counts how many bars touch each price level (TPO count)
- Finds the level with highest count = Point of Control (POC)
- Calculates Value Area by expanding from POC until 68.27% of total TPO blocks are included
4. Overlap Detection Algorithm
When a new profile is created, the code checks if it overlaps with existing composites:
- Calculates overlap range = min(currentVAH, prevVAH) - max(currentVAL, prevVAL)
- Calculates current profile range = currentVAH - currentVAL
- Overlap percentage = (overlap range / current profile range) * 100
- If overlap >= 50%, profiles are merged into a composite
5. Composite Merging Logic
When profiles overlap, the code creates a new composite by:
- Taking the earliest start bar and latest end bar
- Using the wider VAH/VAL range (max of both profiles)
- Keeping the POC from the profile with more TPO blocks
- Marking the composite as "active" until price breaks through
6. Real-Time Updates
The code uses barstate.islast to optimize performance:
- Only recalculates on the last bar of each period
- Updates active composite with live price action if enabled
- Cleans up old composites to prevent memory issues
- Redraws all visual elements from scratch each bar
7. Visual Rendering System
The code uses arrays to manage drawing objects:
- Clears all lines/boxes arrays on every bar
- Iterates through composites array to redraw everything
- Uses different colors for active, broken, and dead composites
- Calculates 1.618 Fibonacci extensions for broken composites
Getting Started with CTPO
Step 1: Choose Your Timeframe
Select the period type that matches your trading style:
- Use "Sessions" for day trading

- POC lines - areas of highest trading activity
- 1.618 extension lines - breakout targets
Step 4: Develop Your Strategy
Use these levels to:
- Set entry points near composite zones
- Place stop losses beyond composite levels
- Take profits at 1.618 extension levels

The example above uses 2 days to demonstrate an exit strategy.
Ichimoku DoubleTF overlay
Hello guys, this code allow to overlay a second ichimoku over the first one loaded on the used time-frame.
It's simple.
Choose your preferred Time-frame.
Set the Time-frame for the second Ichimoku in the settings menu .
Now you can see two Ichimoku clouds based on two different time-frame.
It can be very usefull and more ordered of a multi-windows layout.
On second Ichimoku the Chikou-span is omitted 'cause i think that is useless and cumbersome.
To help to reading the graph i set two labels to identify the "2nds" tenkan and kijun.
Tell me if this script was useful and remember to follow me and adding a like.
Available combinations:
DAILY: WEEKLY AND MONTLY
4H: WEEKLY, DAILY
1H: WEEKLY, DAILY, 4H
30m: DAILY, 4H, 1H
15m: DAILY, 4H, 1H, 30m
5m: DAILY, 4H, 1H, 30m, 15m
3m: 1H, 30m, 15m
1m: 1H, 30m, 15m,5m,3min
Thanks, bhutano
*****************************************************************************************************
Ciao ragazzi, questo codice permette di sovrapporre un secondo Ichimoku a quello del time-frame utilizzato.
Scegliete il vostro time-frame preferito.
Impostate il time-frame del secondo Ichimoku dalle impostazioni dello script .
Adesso vedrete due Nuvole Ichimoku basati su due time-frame diversi.
Può essere davvero utile e più ordinato di un layout multi-window.
Sul secondo Ichimoku la Chickou è stata omessa perchè penso che sia inutile e ingombrante.
Per aiutare la lettura del grafico ho impostato due etichette per identificare le seconde tenkan e kijun.
Ditemi se questo script vi è stato utile e ricordatevi di seguirmi e aggiungere un mi piace.
Combinazioni possibili:
DAILY: WEEKLY AND MONTLY
4H: WEEKLY, DAILY
1H: WEEKLY, DAILY, 4H
30m: DAILY, 4H, 1H

Timed Swing Points [Free +] | cephxsTimed Swing Points | cephxs
This indicator is published under the Mozilla Public License 2.0. © cephxs, © fstarcapital
1. OVERVIEW
Timed Swing Points (TSP) highlights the timing of recent confirmed swing highs and lows and annotates them with context-aware time labels. Instead of drawing traditional pivot shapes and cluttering the chart, this streamlined free edition focuses on the temporal structure: WHEN pivots occur, not just WHERE . It helps discretionary traders quickly scan for clustering of swings around repeating intraday minutes or higher‑timeframe day names.
2. WHAT IT DOES
Detects swing highs and lows using a sensitivity factor (len)
Adds a time (or day name on daily timeframe) label at each qualified swing
Optional filtering to only show labels during defined "key time" minute windows
Automatically adapts label content to timeframe:
Intraday: HH:MM (24h or 12h model depending future input extension)
Daily: Full or abbreviated weekday names
Respects a maximum number of displayed swing points to keep charts clean
3. CORE FEATURES
Swing Detection: Uses ta.pivothigh(len, len) / ta.pivotlow(len, len); a pivot is confirmed only after enough bars pass, avoiding repaint on the current bar.
Time Labeling: Places labels offset back to the pivot bar index (bar_index - len).
Key Time Filtering: When enabled, labels only show if the pivot's minute is inside one of three windows: 00–10, 24–36, 50–59 minutes. These windows target common liquidity / volatility phases.
Day Name Mode: On daily timeframe, labels display full (e.g., Monday) or abbreviated (e.g., Mon) day names depending on the Full Day Names setting.
Point Limiting: Oldest labels are removed once Maximum Points Displayed is exceeded.
Clean Visual Footprint: Shape markers and lines are disabled in this free build (internally set to constants). Focus remains on time annotation density rather than price level persistence.
4. INPUTS & PARAMETERS
Sensitivity (len): Default 2. Swing pivot width. Higher = fewer, broader swings
Maximum Points Displayed: Default 10. Caps number of recent swing labels retained
Show Time Labels: Default true. Master toggle for all time labels
Key Times Only: Default true. Restricts labels to predefined minute windows
Prefix: Default blank. Optional text prepended to each label
High Time Color: Default red. Text color for swing high labels
Low Time Color: Default blue. Text color for swing low labels
Text Size: Default Small. Controls label text size (Tiny → Huge)
Full Day Names: Default true. Show full weekday names on daily timeframe
Internal Constants (Not User-Adjustable):
Shape display flags (show_high, show_low) set false
Line display and deletion logic present but disabled
Timezone currently fixed to America/New_York in Automatic mode; DST handled by TradingView engine
5. HOW SWING TIME IS DETERMINED
For each bar the script evaluates pivot conditions
A pivot is confirmed only after the right width (len) bars complete—the label is then placed len bars back
Time extraction uses the pivot's bar timestamp and converts:
Intraday: Formats HH:MM (24-hour). Infrastructure exists for future 12h toggle
Daily: Converts timestamp to a weekday name
Key time filter checks the pivot's minute bucket. If outside defined windows and filter is active, the label is skipped
6. TIME WINDOWS LOGIC (KEY TIMES ONLY)
Minutes 00–10 → Opening sequence & initial liquidity sweep
Minutes 24–36 → Post initial rotation / mid-hour inflection zone
Minutes 50–59 → Pre hour close / micro-structure reshuffle
ICT Traders: View as macros and note when macros form swing points
This pattern helps isolate intraday zones where structural shifts frequently occur, reducing noise from less consequential pivot timings.
7. USAGE GUIDELINES
Start with Sensitivity = 2 or 3 for most liquid intraday symbols. Increase on higher timeframes to avoid excessive clustering
Key Times Only ON: Ideal for focusing on session rotation pivots. OFF: Use for full discovery when studying custom time behaviors
Combine with volume profile or divergence tools to qualify time-labeled swings (e.g., a swing forming at 09:30 NY vs. random mid-bar)
Apply on lower timeframes (1–15m) to map recurring patterns or on Daily to see weekly rhythm changes
8. PERFORMANCE & LIMITATIONS
Efficient: Only stores arrays of recent labels and prunes aggressively
No Alerts: Current version does not fire alerts (Future Pro+ variant may include swing-time alerting)
Timezone: Fixed to America/New_York
9. BEST PRACTICES
Use a neutral chart theme; contrasting label colors amplify swing clusters
When analyzing historical pattern reliability, temporarily raise Maximum Points Displayed to 50–100 then revert to lighter values for live trading
Prefix field: Add a tag like "T:" if mixing multiple custom time tools to differentiate label origin
10. FAQ
Q: Why do some expected swings not show?
If they confirm outside key minute windows and filtering is ON, they're intentionally suppressed.
Q: Can I get price levels drawn?
Not in this free build. Lines/shapes are disabled intentionally.
Q: Does it repaint?
Pivot confirmation waits for the right width; labels appear only after the swing is locked in. Past labels aren't retroactively moved.
Q: Can I monitor multiple symbols at once?
This version is single‑symbol; use layouts or Pro variants for multi-source overlays.
11. CHANGELOG
v1.0 (Initial Free Release): Core swing time labeling, key time filter, day name adaptation, performance improvements. More updates coming.
12. DISCLAIMER
This tool is an analytical overlay designed for timing context only. It is NOT a standalone buy/sell signal. Always validate swings with broader market structure, liquidity pools, and risk management. No guarantee of future performance.
If you find this useful and want advanced variants (alerts, multi‑timezone, clustering metrics), reach out via TradingView. Feedback drives improvements.
ADR/ATR Session No Probability Table by LKHere you go—clear, English docs you can drop into your script’s description or share with teammates.
ADR/ATR Session by LK — Overview
This indicator summarizes Average Daily Range (ADR) and Average True Range (ATR) for two horizons:
• Session H4 (e.g., 06:00–13:00 on a 4‑hour chart)
• Daily (D)
It shows:
• Current ADR/ATR values (using your chosen smoothing method)
• How much of ADR/ATR today/this bar has already been consumed (% of ADR/ATR)
• ADR/ATR as a percent of price
• Optional probability blocks: likelihood that %ADR will exceed user‑defined thresholds over a lookback window
• Optional on‑chart lines for the current H4 and Daily candles: Open, ADR High, ADR Low
⸻
What the metrics mean
• ADR (H4 / D): Moving average of the bar range (high - low).
• ATR (H4 / D): Moving average of True Range (max(hi-lo, |hi-close |, |lo-close |)).
• % of ADR (curr H4): (H4 range of the current H4 bar) / ADR(H4) × 100. Updates live even if the current time is outside the session.
• % of ADR (Daily): (today’s intra‑day range) / ADR(D) × 100.
• % of ATR (curr H4 / Daily): TR / ATR × 100 for that horizon.
• ADR % of Price / ATR % of Price: ADR or ATR divided by current price × 100 (a quick “volatility vs. price” gauge).
Session logic (H4): ADR/ATR(H4) only update on bars that fall inside the configured session window; outside the window the values hold steady (no recalculation “bleed”).
Daily range tracking: The indicator tracks today’s high/low in real‑time and resets at the day change.
⸻
Inputs (quick reference)
Core
• Length (ADR/ATR): smoothing length for ADR/ATR (default 21).
• Wait for Higher TF Bar Close: if true, updates ADR/ATR only after the higher‑TF bar closes when using request.security.
Timeframes
• Session Timeframe (H4): default 240.
• Daily Timeframe: default D.
Session time
• Session Timezone: “Chart” (default) or a fixed timezone.
• Session Start Hour, End Hour (minutes are fixed to 0 in this version).
Smoothing methods
• H4 ADR Method / H4 ATR Method: SMA/EMA/RMA/WMA.
• Daily ADR Method / Daily ATR Method: SMA/EMA/RMA/WMA.
Table appearance
• Table BG, Table Text, Table Font Size.
Lines (optional)
• Show current H4 segments, Show current Daily segments
• Line colors for Open / ADR High / ADR Low
• Line width
Probability
• H4 Probability Lookback (bars): number of H4 bars to examine (e.g., 300).
• Daily Probability Lookback (days): number of D bars (e.g., 180).
• ADR thresholds (%): CSV list of thresholds (e.g., 25,50,55,60,65,70,75,80,85,90,95,100,125,150).
The table will show the % of lookback bars where %ADR ≥ threshold.
Tip: If you want probabilities only for session H4 bars (not every H4 bar), ask and I can add a toggle to filter by inSess.
⸻
How to read the table
H4 block
• ADR (method) / ATR (method): the session‑aware averages.
• % of ADR (curr H4): live progress of this H4 bar toward the session ADR.
• ADR % of Price: ADR(H4) relative to price.
• % of ATR (curr H4) and ATR % of Price: same idea for ATR.
H4 Probability (lookback N bars)
• Rows like “≥ 80% ADR” show the fraction (in %) of the last N H4 bars that reached at least 80% of ADR(H4).
Daily block
• Mirrors the H4 block, but for Daily.
Daily Probability (lookback M days)
• Rows like “≥ 100% ADR” show the fraction of the last M daily bars whose daily range reached at least 100% of ADR(D).
⸻
Practical usage
• Use % of ADR (curr H4 / Daily) to judge exhaustion or room left in the day/session.
E.g., if Daily %ADR is already 95%, be cautious with momentum continuation trades.
• The probability tables give a quick historical context:
If “≥ 125% ADR” is ~18%, the market rarely stretches that far; your trade sizing/targets can reflect that.
• ADR/ATR % of Price helps normalize volatility between instruments.
⸻
Troubleshooting
• If probability rows are blank: ensure lookback windows are large enough (and that the chart has enough history).
• If ADR/ATR show … (NA): usually you don’t have enough bars for the chosen length/TF yet.
• If line segments are missing: verify you’re on a chart with visible current H4/D bars and the toggles are enabled.
⸻
Notes & customization ideas
• Add a toggle to count only session bars in H4 probability.
• Add separate thresholds for H4 vs Daily.
• Let users pick minutes for session start/end if needed.
• Add alerts when %ADR crosses specified thresholds.
If you want me to bundle any of the “ideas” above into the code, say the word and I’ll ship a clean patch.
Ultimate Market Rhythm Scanner FXReady to feel like a chart-wielding wizard? The Ultimate Market Rhythm Scanner FX is here to supercharge your Forex analysis by piping in multi-timeframe goodness from up to 10 OANDA currency pairs.

Rows: A row for each technical aspect, such as:
Last Pivot (pivot) – The most recent pivot type (HH, HL, LH, LL) and how many bars ago.
Last CHoCH – Crows “▲/▼ X bars ago” if structure reversed.
Ichi Cloud (ichi) – Tells you if price soared above or dived below the Cloud.
Multi Mom D (momentum_d) – A daily momentum label (Bullish/Bearish/Neutral). It shows you daily momentum even on times frames lower than the daily. Multi Mom D is not reliable if the chart is on a time frame higher than the daily.
Multi Mom (momentum) – Current timeframe momentum label.
SMI ZONE (smizone) – If SMI’s in a bullish or bearish zone.
MACD 0 LINE (macdzero) – Number of bars since crossing zero.
SMI CROSS (smicross) – A bullish or bearish cross in overbought/oversold territory.
TK Cross (tk) – Tenkan/Kijun cross and how many bars ago.
MACD Cross (macd) – MACD crossing above/below its signal line.
Last Pattern (lastpat) – The candle pattern found and bars since it popped.
Pattern (pattype) – The name of that pattern (Hammer, Hanging Man, etc.).
Each cell can be tinted in a blue-ish glow for bullish vibes, or a purple shade for bearish signals. The “bars ago” text helps you see how fresh the signal is—fewer bars = more relevant.

SUPER EMA SMA 16x [GUSLM]█ Author's Note:
After extensively reviewing the EMA and SMA consolidation tools in the TradingView library, I found that none fully met my expectations or those of friends and colleagues. Some tools were too specific or not configurable enough, with varying sensitivities. Others lacked options or produced many invalid and incorrect ranges when viewed across different timeframes. Some were fixed in their options, others did not allow visualization on different timeframes or lacked crossover signals and customization options for turning each option on or off. Additionally, there was no custom function to view one or more configurable moving averages from different timeframes in the current view, serving as a time-saving shortcut to avoid switching between timeframes to record values. Consequently, I decided to develop my own tool. I hope that you, fellow traders, find it valuable and enjoy using it.
█ Description:

* **ATR(14):** Daily ATR in points.
* **ATR Used:**
* Today’s current **range vs ATR**
* Shown as points and % of daily ATR (how much of the expected move is already done).
* **ATR Left:**
* Remaining ATR in points and % (potential “fuel” left in the day).
* **RSI:**
* Configurable length (default 14) with clean numeric display.

ICT/SMC DOL Detector PRO (Final)This indicator is designed to operate only on the 1-hour timeframe.
The ICT/SMC DOL Detector PRO is an educational indicator designed to identify and visualize Draw on Liquidity (DOL) levels across multiple time-frames. It tracks unmitigated daily highs and lows, clusters them into zones, and calculates confidence scores based on multiple factors including time decay, cluster size, and time-frame alignment.
This indicator is based on ICT (Inner Circle Trader) concepts and liquidity theory, which suggests that price tends to seek out areas of concentrated unfilled orders before reversing or continuing its trend.
What is a DOL (Draw on Liquidity)?
A Draw on Liquidity represents a daily high or low that has not been revisited (mitigated) by price. These levels act as "magnets" that draw price toward them because:
1. They represent untapped liquidity pools where unfilled orders exist
2. Market makers and institutions often target these levels to fill large orders
3. Price is drawn to these zones to clear pending orders
4. They can serve as potential reversal or continuation zones once liquidity is taken
Methodology
1. Level Tracking
The indicator monitors daily session highs and lows on the 1-hour time-frame, tracking:
- Session high price and time of formation
- Session low price and time of formation
- Whether each level has been breached (mitigated)
- Time elapsed since level formation
2. Clustering Algorithm
Unmitigated levels within a defined tolerance (default 0.5% of price) are grouped together to identify zones where multiple DOLs cluster. Larger clusters indicate stronger liquidity pools.
3. Confidence Scoring (The "AI" Logic)
Each DOL receives a confidence score (0-100%) based on three weighted factors. This is the core "AI" intelligence of the indicator:
**Factor 1: Cluster Size (50% weight)**
- Counts how many unmitigated levels exist within 0.5% of the price zone
- Formula: (levels_in_cluster / total_unmitigated_levels) × 50
- Logic: More unfilled orders clustered together = stronger liquidity pool = higher confidence
- Example: If 5 out of 10 total unmitigated levels cluster at 27,500, cluster score = (5/10) × 50 = 25%
**Factor 2: Time Decay (25% weight)**
- Calculates age of the level since formation
- Fresh levels (< 1 week old): Full 25% score
- Aging penalty: Loses 5% per week of age
- Maximum penalty: 25% (very old levels = 0% time score)
- Formula: max(0, 25 - (weeks_old × 5))
- Logic: Recent liquidity is more relevant than old liquidity that price has ignored for months
**Factor 3: Timeframe Alignment (25% weight)**
- Checks how many timeframes (1H, 4H, D1, W1) point in the same direction
- If multiple timeframes identify DOLs on the same side (all bullish or all bearish): Higher score
- If mixed signals: Lower score
- Formula: (aligned_timeframes / total_timeframes) × 25
- Logic: When multiple timeframes agree, the liquidity zone is validated across different time perspectives
**Total Confidence Score:**
```
Confidence = Cluster_Score + Time_Score + Alignment_Score
= (0-50%) + (0-25%) + (0-25%)
= 0-100%
```
**Example Calculation:**
```
DOL at 27,500:
- 6 out of 12 unmitigated levels cluster here → (6/12) × 50 = 25%
- Level is 2 weeks old → 25 - (2 × 5) = 15%
- 3 out of 4 timeframes bullish toward this level → (3/4) × 25 = 18.75%
- Total Confidence = 25% + 15% + 18.75% = 58.75% ≈ 59%
```
This mathematical approach removes subjectivity and provides objective, data-driven confidence scoring.
4. Multi-Timeframe Analysis
The indicator analyzes DOLs across four timeframes:
- **1H:** Intraday levels (fastest reaction)
- **4H:** Short-term swing levels
- **Daily:** Intermediate-term levels
- **Weekly:** Long-term structural levels
For each timeframe, it identifies:
- Highest confidence unmitigated high
- Highest confidence unmitigated low
- Directional bias (bullish if high > low confidence, bearish if low > high confidence)
5. Primary DOL Selection (AI Auto-Selection Logic)
When "Show AI DOL" is enabled, the indicator uses an automated selection algorithm to identify the most important targets:
**Step 1: Collect All Candidates**
The algorithm gathers all identified DOLs from all timeframes (1H, 4H, D1, W1) that meet minimum criteria:
- Must be unmitigated (not yet swept)
- Must have confidence score > 0%
- Must have at least 1 level in cluster
**Step 2: Calculate Confidence for Each**
Each candidate DOL receives its confidence score using the three-factor formula described above (Cluster + Time + Alignment).
**Step 3: Sort by Confidence**
All candidates are ranked from highest to lowest confidence score.
**Step 4: Select Primary and Secondary**
- **P1 (Primary DOL):** The DOL with the absolute highest confidence score
- **P2 (Secondary DOL):** The DOL with the second highest confidence score
**Why This Matters:**
Instead of manually scanning multiple timeframes and guessing which level is most important, the AI objectively identifies the two highest-probability liquidity targets based on quantifiable data.
**Example AI Selection:**
```
Available DOLs:
- 1H High: 27,400
- 4H High: 27,500
- D1 High: 27,500 ← P1 (Highest)
- W1 High: 27,650 ← P2 (Second Highest)
- 1H Low: 26,800
- D1 Low: 26,500
AI Selection:
P1 = 27,500 (Daily High with 92% confidence)
P2 = 27,650 (Weekly High with 88% confidence)
```
This provides a data-driven target selection rather than subjective manual interpretation. The AI removes emotion and bias, selecting targets based purely on mathematical probability.
Features
Why "AI" DOL?
The term "AI" in this indicator refers to the automated algorithmic selection process, not machine learning or neural networks. Specifically:
**What the AI Does:**
- Automatically evaluates all available DOLs across all timeframes
- Applies a weighted scoring algorithm (Cluster 50%, Time 25%, Alignment 25%)
- Objectively ranks DOLs by probability
- Selects the top 2 highest-confidence targets (P1 and P2)
- Removes human bias and emotion from target selection
**What the AI Does NOT Do:**
- It does not use machine learning or train on historical data
- It does not predict future price movements
- It does not adapt or "learn" over time
- It does not guarantee accuracy
The "AI" is simply an automated decision-making algorithm that applies consistent mathematical rules to identify the most statistically significant liquidity zones. Think of it as a "smart filter" rather than artificial intelligence in the traditional sense.

- 70-79%: Moderate probability zone (decent cluster or older)
- 60-69%: Lower probability zone (small cluster or very old)
- Below 60%: Weak zone (minimal confluence)
**Timeframe Analysis:**
- All timeframes LONG: Strong bullish alignment
- All timeframes SHORT: Strong bearish alignment
- Mixed: Conflicting signals, exercise caution
- Higher timeframes (D1, W1) carry more weight than lower (1H, 4H)
**DIRECTIONAL Indicator:**
- BULLISH: Overall bias suggests upward movement toward buy-side DOLs
- BEARISH: Overall bias suggests downward movement toward sell-side DOLs
- NEUTRAL: No clear directional bias, conflicting signals
Practical Application Examples
**Example 1: Bullish Setup**
```
Flow: BID PRESSURE (lows being swept)
P1: 27,500 (price above current market)
D1: LONG 27,500
W1: LONG 27,650
DIRECTIONAL: BULLISH
```
Interpretation: Price has cleared sell-side liquidity. High confidence buy-side DOL at 27,500. Daily and Weekly timeframes aligned bullish. Watch for move toward 27,500 target.
**Example 2: Bearish Setup**
```
Flow: OFFER PRESSURE (highs being swept)
P1: 26,200 (price below current market)
D1: SHORT 26,200
W1: SHORT 26,100
DIRECTIONAL: BEARISH
```
Interpretation: Price has cleared buy-side liquidity. High confidence sell-side DOL at 26,200. Daily and Weekly timeframes aligned bearish. Watch for move toward 26,200 target.

```
Flow: BID PRESSURE
P1: 26,800
D1: LONG 27,000
W1: SHORT 26,200
DIRECTIONAL: NEUTRAL
```
Interpretation: Conflicting signals. Flow suggests up, but Weekly bias is down. Confidence scores moderate. Better to wait for clarity.

Risk Disclaimer
**FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY**
This indicator is for educational purposes only. Trading financial markets involves substantial risk of loss. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Always conduct your own research and consult with a financial advisor before making trading decisions.
**Important Limitations:**
- No indicator is 100% accurate, including the AI selection
- The "AI" is an automated algorithm, not predictive artificial intelligence
- DOL levels can be swept and price can continue in the same direction
- Confidence scores are mathematical calculations, not predictions or probabilities of success
- High confidence does not mean guaranteed profit
- Markets can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent
- Always use stop losses and proper position sizing
**Understanding the AI Component:**
The AI auto-selection feature uses a fixed mathematical formula to rank DOLs. It does not:
- Predict where price will go
- Learn from past performance
- Adapt to market conditions
- Guarantee any level of accuracy
The confidence score represents the mathematical strength of a liquidity cluster based on objective factors (cluster size, recency, timeframe alignment), NOT a probability of the trade succeeding.
**Risk Warning:**
Trading is risky. Most traders lose money. This indicator cannot change that fundamental reality. Use it as an educational tool to understand market structure, not as a trading signal or system.
Technical Requirements
- **Timeframe:** Best used on 1-hour charts (required for accurate daily level tracking)
- **Markets:** Works on any market (forex, crypto, stocks, futures, indices)
- **Updates:** Real-time calculation on each bar close
- **Resources:** Uses max 500 lines and 500 labels (TradingView limits)
Backtesting Features
The indicator includes "Backtest Mode" to keep historical charts clean:
