Malama's Heat MapOverview
Malama's Heat Map is an overlay indicator that visualizes historical liquidity as a dynamic heatmap aligned with the price chart, using volume as a proxy to map activity across time (X-axis) and price levels (Y-axis). It constructs a grid of up to 5000 cells via a matrix, distributing bar volume into discrete price bins to highlight concentration zones, creating a color-graded visualization from cool (low activity) to hot (high liquidity). This aids in identifying "Type II" fair value areas, support/resistance from past volume clusters, or potential imbalances without order book access. Built for v6 compatibility with efficiency in mind—computations run solely on the last bar, includes object limit enforcement, and offers two intra-bar volume distribution methods for flexible approximation.
Core Mechanics
The indicator generates a trailing heatmap through binning, accumulation, and box-based rendering:
Grid Setup: Configurable lookback (bars back, default 100) sets horizontal time span; bins (price divisions, default 50) define vertical resolution, limited to 5000 total cells to prevent errors. Bin height dynamically = max(mintick, (lookback high - low) / bins).
Y-Axis Stabilization: Anchors boundaries to the prior bar's high/low (if available) for a flicker-free view during live bar updates. All historical bar data (high/low/close/volume) is clipped to these bounds.
Volume Distribution Proxy:
Even: Divides bar volume equally across spanned bins (straightforward uniform spread).
POC Weighted (Inverse): Treats bar close as POC proxy; applies inverse distance weighting (1/(|bin - POC bin| + 1), normalized) to emphasize volume near the estimated control point, simulating clustered intra-bar trading.
Matrix Building: On last bar only, loops backward over lookback bars (newest right-aligned). For each, computes low/high bin indices, distributes volume per selected method into the matrix (columns=time, rows=price bins from low to high).
Scaling & Palette: Extracts max matrix value for relative normalization (0-1); maps to a 5-tier stepped color scheme (user-customizable: blue 90% transp. low → red 50% transp. high) for non-linear intensity.
Rendering: Clears old boxes, then iterates matrix to draw only non-zero cells as thin boxes: X spans one bar width (left=historical index from bar_index, right=next bar), Y fills bin height. Borderless for seamless heatmap effect.
The result is a right-leaning, chart-scrolling visualization emphasizing recent liquidity buildup.
Why This Adds Value & Originality
While session-based volume profiles exist, this heatmap captures ongoing multi-bar liquidity evolution ("Type II" style), revealing horizontal value areas or gaps dynamically. Originality shines in the custom inverse-weighting for POC realism (no ta.* dependencies), matrix-driven persistence for quick redraws, and stabilization to eliminate repaints—issues plaguing similar scripts. v6 adaptations (e.g., custom clamp, matrix recreation on input change) ensure broad compatibility without bloat. It condenses complex liquidity scanning into one tool: spot red "hot" bands as magnets, blue voids as FVGs. Unlike generic heatmaps, the proxy options and limit-aware design scale across timeframes/assets (e.g., forex vs. crypto), reducing the need for layered indicators.
How to Use
Setup: Apply as overlay. Defaults suit ~4-day 1H view; tune lookback/bins (e.g., 50x100 for intraday fine-detail, but watch 5000 cap—errors auto-flag excesses). Select "POC Weighted" for nuanced clustering, "Even" for simplicity. Customize palette (e.g., desaturate for dark themes).
Reading the Heatmap:
X-Axis (Time): Left=older (fainter context), right=recent focus; tracks evolving liquidity trails.
Y-Axis (Price): Bottom=range low, top=high; vertical density shows price-level attraction.
Colors: Faint blue (sparse volume, possible inefficiencies) → vivid red (dense activity, likely SR). Horizontal streaks = sustained value zones.
Trading Insights: Price wicking into red? Anticipate fills/reversals. Blue gaps post-break? Targets for retraces. Ideal on 5M–Daily; layer with candlesticks off for purity.
Example: In BTCUSD 4H, a yellow-red band at $60K from prior consolidation → treat as dynamic support for longs on dips.
Tips
Balance settings: High bins = sharper verticals but cap lookback (e.g., 80x60=4800 cells). Test on volatile pairs first.
"POC Weighted" excels in ranging markets; switch to "Even" for trending (avoids close-bias skew).
For deeper analysis, screenshot/export or pair with divergence tools; add manual alerts via box counts if extended.
Efficiency: Last-bar only keeps it snappy; refresh on input tweaks.
Limitations & Disclaimer
Visualization is historical/proxy-based—lagging by one bar, no forward projection or tick-level precision (close-as-POC is estimate). Clipping may trim outlier wicks; low-volume bars dilute globally. Stepped colors are relative (max scales per redraw), potentially compressing extremes. Exceeds 5000 cells? Runtime error halts—no fallback resize. Not real liquidity (volume ≠ depth); best as visual aid, not quantitative. Updates post-close only. Backtest zones on specific symbols—correlation ≠ causation. Not advice; trade responsibly.

RightFlow Universal Volume Profile - Any Market Any TimeframeSummary in one paragraph
RightFlow is a right anchored microstructure volume profile for stocks, futures, FX, and liquid crypto on intraday and daily timeframes. It acts only when several conditions align inside a session window and presents the result as a compact right side profile with value area, POC, a bull bear mix by price bin, and a HUD of profile VWAP and pressure shares. It is original because it distributes each bar’s weight into multiple mid price slices, blends bull bear pressure per bin with a CLV based split, and grows the profile to the right so price action stays readable. Add to a clean chart, read the table, and use the visuals. For conservative workflows read on bar close.
Scope and intent
• Markets. Major FX pairs, index futures, large cap equities and ETFs, liquid crypto.
• Timeframes. One minute to daily.
• Default demo used in the publication. SPY on 15 minute.
• Purpose. See where participation concentrates, which side dominated by price level, and how far price sits from VA and POC.
Originality and usefulness
• Unique fusion. Right anchored growth plus per bar slicing and CLV split, with weight modes Raw, Notional, and DeltaProxy.
• Failure mode addressed. False reads from single bar direction and coarse binning.
• Testability. All parts sit in Inputs and the HUD.
• Portable yardstick. Value Area percent and POC are universal across symbols.
• Protected scripts. Not applicable. Method and use are fully disclosed.
Method overview in plain language
Pick a scope Rolling or Today or This Week. Define a window and number of price bins. For each bar, split its range into small slices, assign each slice a weight from the selected mode, and split that weight by CLV or by bar direction. Accumulate totals per bin. Find the bin with the highest total as POC. Expand left and right until the chosen share of total volume is covered to form the value area. Compute profile VWAP for all, buyers, and sellers and show them with pressure shares.
Base measures
Range basis. High minus low and mid price samples across the bar window.
Return basis. Not used. VWAP trio is price weighted by weights.
Components
• RightFlow Bins. Price histogram that grows to the right.
• Bull Bear Split. CLV based 0 to 1 share or pure bar direction.
• Weight Mode. Raw volume, notional volume times close, or DeltaProxy focus.
• Value Area Engine. POC then outward expansion to target share.
• HUD. Profile VWAP, Buy and Sell percent, winner delta, split and weight mode.
• Session windows optional. Scope resets on day or week.
Fusion rule
Color of each bin is the convex blend of bull and bear shares. Value area shading is lighter inside and darker outside.
Signal rule
This is context, not a trade signal. A strong separation between buy and sell percent with price holding inside VA often confirms balance. Price outside VA with skewed pressure often marks initiative moves.
What you will see on the chart
• Right side bins with blended colors.
• A POC line across the profile width.
• Labels for POC, VAH, and VAL.
• A compact HUD table in the top right.
Table fields and quick reading guide
• VWAP. Profile VWAP.
• Buy and Sell. Pressure shares in percent.
• Delta Winner. Winner side and margin in percent.
• Split and Weight. The active modes.
Reading tip. When Session scope is Today or This Week and Buy minus Sell is clearly positive or negative, that side often controls the day’s narrative.
Inputs with guidance
Setup
• Profile scope. Rolling or session reset. Rolling uses window bars.
• Rolling window bars. Typical 100 to 300. Larger is smoother.
Binning
• Price bins. Typical 32 to 128. More bins increase detail.
• Slices per bar. Typical 3 to 7. Raising it smooths distribution.
Weighting
• Weight mode. Raw, Notional, DeltaProxy. Notional emphasizes expensive prints.
• Bull Bear split. CLV or BarDir. CLV is more nuanced.
• Value Area percent. Typical 68 to 75.
View
• Profile width in bars, color split toggle, value area shading, opacities, POC line, VA labels.
Usage recipes
Intraday trend focus
• Scope Today, bins 64, slices 5, Value Area 70.
• Split CLV, Weight Notional.
Intraday mean reversion
• Scope Today, bins 96, Value Area 75.
• Watch fades back to POC after initiative pushes.
Swing continuation
• Scope Rolling 200 bars, bins 48.
• Use Buy Sell skew with price relative to VA.
Realism and responsible publication
No performance claims. Shapes can move while a bar forms and settle on close. Education only.
Honest limitations and failure modes
Thin liquidity and data gaps can distort bin weights. Very quiet regimes reduce contrast. Session time is the chart venue time.
Open source reuse and credits
None.

Volume Profile Area [BigBeluga]🔵 OVERVIEW
The Volume Profile Area is an advanced profiling tool that calculates and visualizes the value area within a chosen period’s volume distribution. It first builds a main profile of the entire range, then constructs a secondary profile inside the defined value area, allowing traders to examine market balance and key trading zones in greater detail.
🔵 CONCEPTS
Volume Profile – Distributes traded volume across price levels to highlight areas of market activity.
Value Area (VA) – The price range containing a chosen percentage of total volume (commonly 50–70%).
Point of Control (PoC) – The price level with the highest traded volume, often acting as a magnet for price.
Nested Profiles – A profile inside the VA adds a second layer of precision, showing where liquidity clusters within the “fair value” zone.
🔵 FEATURES
Main Profile – Full distribution of volume over the selected lookback period.
Secondary Profile – Built only inside the VA of the main profile, highlighting intrabalance structure.
Customizable PoC Selection – Choose between showing the PoC of the
Main Profile ,
the Area Profile ,
their Average ,
or None .
Dynamic Value Area Levels – Automatically plots VAL (Value Area Low) and VAH (Value Area High) with labels.
Overlay Toggles – Show/hide range extremes, VA lines, or PoCs for a cleaner chart view.
Visual Profiles – Main profile shaded in darker blue; the VA profile inside is lighter for clear separation.
Automatic Scaling – Profiles adapt to period highs/lows and auto-adjust bins for consistent resolution.
Volume Labels – PoCs can display traded volume, giving numeric confirmation of liquidity concentration.
🔵 HOW TO USE
Set the Period to define how many bars to include in the main profile.
Adjust the Value Area % to control how much volume defines the VA (e.g., 50% by default).
Pick your PoC option: Main , Area , or Average , depending on focus.
Use VAH/VAL lines as support/resistance levels where most trading occurred.
Compare reactions at Main vs VA PoC levels to spot potential breakouts or mean reversions.
🔵 CONCLUSION
The Volume Profile Area extends traditional profiling by nesting a secondary VA profile inside the main distribution. This dual-layer approach reveals not just where the market was active overall, but where liquidity concentrated within the “fair value” zone—powerful for refining entries, exits, and risk placement across intraday and swing horizons.
Volume Cluster Support & ResistanceVolume Cluster Support & Resistance
This indicator identifies potential Support and Resistance (S/R) levels on the chart using Volume-Based Point of Control (POC) Clustering. It offers extensive customization for calculation parameters, display styles, and visualization options, including S/R zones, color gradients, and historical reaction markers.
How It Works
Volume Based S/R:
Scans the specified Clustering Lookback period for "High Volume Bars", defined as bars where volume exceeds the average volume (over Volume Lookback Period) multiplied by the High Volume Threshold Multiplier.
Calculates the Point of Control (POC) for each high-volume bar using hl2.
Clusters these high-volume bar POCs: POCs within a proximity defined by Cluster Proximity (ATR) (Average True Range multiplier) are grouped together.
Filters these clusters, requiring a Min Bars in Cluster to form a valid S/R zone.
(Image showing the indicator being used on the Bitcoin 5min chart)
The center price of valid clusters determines the S/R level. Clusters above the current price become potential Resistance, and those below become potential Support.
Calculates the offset based on the most recent bar included in the cluster.
Level Selection & Display:
The indicator identifies multiple potential S/R levels.
It then selects and displays the top Number of S/R Levels to Display support levels below the current price and resistance levels above the current price.
(Image showing the indicator on the GBP/USD 5min chart)
ATR Usage:
The Average True Range (ta.atr(14)) is used in two key areas:
Determining the proximity threshold for grouping POCs in the 'Volume Based' clustering (clusterProximityAtr).
Calculating the width of the S/R zones when 'Use Zone Visualization' is enabled (zoneAtrMultiplier).
Key Features & Components
Dual Calculation Methods: Choose between Pivot-based S/R or Volume-based POC clustering.
Volume Confirmation: Pivots require volume confirmation; Volume method directly analyzes high-volume bars.
POC Clustering: Groups high-volume areas to identify significant price zones.
Configurable Lookbacks: Adjust periods for volume averaging, pivot detection, and clustering analysis.
Dynamic S/R Display: Shows a configurable number of the most relevant S/R levels relative to the current price.
Optional Zone Visualization: Display levels as filled zones with configurable width (ATR-based), fill transparency, and border transparency. Includes a dashed center line.
Optional Historical Reactions: Mark past price interactions (lows bouncing off support zones, highs rejecting from resistance zones) directly on the chart (Warning: Can significantly impact performance).
Customizable Styling: Control line style (Solid, Dashed, Dotted), width, color (separate for Support & Resistance), and horizontal extension (None, Left, Right, Both).
Price Labels: Toggle visibility of price labels next to each S/R level/zone.
Visual Elements Explained
S/R Lines/Zones: Plotted lines or filled zones representing calculated support and resistance levels. Color-coded for Support (default green) and Resistance (default magenta).
Line/Zone Borders: Appearance controlled by Style settings (Style, Width, Extension). Can have a gradient color effect based on age if enabled.
Zone Fills: Semi-transparent fills for zones (if enabled), with configurable transparency. Fill color matches the border color (including gradient effect if enabled).
Zone Center Line: A thin, dashed line indicating the exact calculated S/R price within a zone.
Price Labels: Text labels showing the exact price of the S/R level.
Historical Reactions: Small dot markers appearing on historical bars where price potentially reacted to a displayed zone (only if Show Historical Reactions is enabled).
Configuration Options
Users can adjust the following parameters in the indicator settings:
Calculation Method: Select "Pivot Based" or "Volume Based".
Volume Zone Settings (Volume Based): Threshold multiplier, clustering lookback, cluster proximity (ATR), minimum bars per cluster.
Display Options: Toggle S/R visibility, price tags, set the number of levels to show.
Volume Settings: Volume lookback period, volume multiplier (for Pivot confirmation).
Style Settings: Line style, width, extension, support/resistance text and line colors, enable gradient coloring, set gradient start/end colors.
Zone Visualization: Enable/disable zones, set zone width (ATR multiplier), fill and border transparency, enable/disable historical reaction markers (performance warning).
Interpretation Notes
This indicator identifies potential areas of support and resistance based on historical price action and volume analysis. These levels are not guaranteed reversal points.
The 'Volume Based' method focuses on areas where significant trading activity occurred, while the 'Pivot Based' method focuses on price turning points confirmed by volume.
Use the displayed levels in conjunction with other technical analysis tools, price action patterns, and risk management strategies.
Be mindful of the performance impact when enabling Show Historical Reactions, especially on longer timeframes or with large lookback periods. The default setting is false for optimal performance.
The max_bars_back setting is optimized for performance; increasing it significantly may slow down chart loading.

Price & Volume Profile (Expo)█ Overview
The Price & Volume Profile provides a holistic perspective on market dynamics by simultaneously tracking price action and trading volume across a range of price levels. So it is not only a volume-based indicator but also a price-based one. In addition to illustrating volume distribution, it quantifies how frequently the price has fallen within a particular range, thus offering a holistic perspective on market dynamics.
This unique and comprehensive approach to market analysis by considering both price action and trading volume, two crucial dimensions of market activity. Its distinctive methodology offers several advantages:
Holistic Market View: By simultaneously tracking the frequency of specific price ranges (Price Profile) and the volume traded at those ranges (Volume Profile), this indicator provides a more complete picture of market behavior. It shows not only where the market is trading but also how much it's trading, reflecting both price acceptance levels and market participation intensity.
Point of Control (POC): The POC, as highlighted by this indicator, serves as a significant reference point for traders. It identifies the price level with the highest trading activity, thus indicating a strong consensus among market participants about the asset's fair value. Observing how price interacts with the POC can offer valuable insights into market sentiment and potential trend reversals.
Support and Resistance Levels: Price levels with high trading activity often act as support or resistance in future price movements. The indicator visually represents these levels, enabling traders to anticipate potential price reactions.
Price Profile
Price and Volume Profile
█ Calculations
The algorithm analyzes both trade frequency and volume across different price levels. It identifies these levels within the visible chart range, then examines each bar to determine if the selected price falls within these levels. If so, it increases a counter and adds the trading volume. This process repeats across the visible range and is visualized as a horizontal histogram, each bar representing a price level and the bar length reflecting trade frequency and volume. Additionally, it calculates the Point of Control (POC), signifying the price level with the highest activity.
In summary: The histogram presents a dual perspective - not only the traded volume at each price level but also the frequency of the price hitting each range. The longer the bar, the more times the price has frequented that specific range, revealing key insights into price behavior and acceptance levels. These frequently visited areas often emerge as strong support or resistance zones, helping traders navigate market movements.
Please note that the indicator adjusts to the visible price range, making it adaptable to changing market conditions. This dynamic analysis can provide more relevant and timely information than static indicators.
█ How to use
This indicator is beneficial for traders as it offers insights into the distribution of trading activity across different price levels. It helps identify key areas of support and resistance and gives a visual representation of market sentiment and liquidity.
The point of control (POC) , which is the price level with the highest traded volume or frequency count, becomes even more crucial in this context. It marks the price at which the most trading activity occurred, signaling a strong consensus among market participants about the asset's fair value. If the market price deviates significantly from the POC, it could suggest an overbought or oversold condition, potentially leading to a price reversion.
Fair Price Areas/gaps are specific price levels or zones where an asset has spent limited time in the past. These areas are considered interesting or significant because they may have an impact on future price action.
Similar to the concept of fair value gaps, which refers to discrepancies between an asset's market price and its estimated intrinsic value, Fair Price Areas/gaps focus on price levels that have been relatively underutilized in terms of trading activity. When an asset's price reaches a Fair Price Area/gap, traders and investors pay attention because they expect the price to react in some way. The rationale behind this concept is that price tends to gravitate towards areas where it has spent less time in the past, as the market perceives them as significant levels.
█ Settings
The indicator is customizable, allowing users to define the number of price levels (rows), the offset, the data source, and whether to display volume or frequency count. It also adjusts dynamically to the visible price range on the chart, ensuring that the analysis remains relevant and timely with changing market conditions.
Source: The price to use for the calculation. Typically, this is the closing price. By considering the user-selected Source (typically the closing price), the indicator determines the frequency with which the price lands within each designated price level (row) over the selected period. In essence, the indicator provides a count of bars where the Source price falls within each range, essentially creating a "Price Profile."
Row Size: The number of price levels (rows) to divide the visible price range into.
Display: Choose whether to display the number of bars ("Counter") or the total volume ("Volume") for each price level.
Offset: The distance of the histogram from the price chart.
Point of Control (POC): If enabled, the indicator will highlight the price level with the most activity.

TAS Float PCL + TAS Static PCL [TASMarketProfile]TAS PRICE COMPRESSION LEVELS (PCLs) includes 2 distinct indicators that use volume at price analysis, volume aggregation and multi-timeframe confluence to calculate and display significant levels of commercial interest above and below the market. These levels reveal reliable trading levels which can be leveraged for enhanced trade entries, trailing stops and targets.
THERE ARE TWO TYPES OF TAS PCLs:
TAS Float PCLs - These levels take into account new data flow throughout the trading session and expands or contracts the levels dynamically in accordance with changing market conditions. These are often referred to by traders as “Floaters” or “Dynamic PCLs.”
TAS Static PCLs - These levels are set upon the start of the trading session and remain intact throughout the duration of the session. Many traders These are often referred to by traders as “Statics.”
Both TAS Floaters and TAS Statics have up to 10 horizontal lines available to display. The four center lines are referred to as Points of Control (POC). Three of these lines are colored cyan and one is yellow. The yellow line is more prominent and referred to as the Master Point of Control (MPOC) of the Price Compression Levels on display. The first area of commercial suppor t and resistance are plotted with red lines on both sides of the POC lines and commonly referred to as S1 and R1 levels. The next level of support and resistance areas are designated by blue lines (S2 and R2 levels) and then lastly the farthest from the POC lines are the green lines (S3 and R3 levels). By default, typically the green lines are not displayed but can be activated on an “as needed” basis within the indicator Style settings.
EXAMPLE OF TAS FLOAT PCLs:
ABOUT TAS FLOAT PCLs:
The TAS Dynamic PCLs (Floaters) reveal the price areas that attract commercial interest based on the current market conditions.
How the PCLs are plotted can be adjusted with two inputs controlled by the user.
----------1) MinSignal_123: This setting controls the sensitivity of the calculations. The default is set to 1 and this represents the most sensitive input that makes it easiest for market conditions to trigger new PCL levels. A setting of 2 is considered “medium” sensitivity and lastly a setting of 3 would require the most substantial change in conditions to trigger an adjustment of PCLs on the chart.
----------2) Length: This input setting determines the number of bars of data included in the calculation for new TAS Float PCLs to be adjusted on the chart. The default is set to 8.
MORE ON INPUT SETTINGS:
Using higher values in both inputs will display more significant areas of commercial interest for higher probability support and resistance levels around PCLs. These are referred to as “slow” Floaters.
Using lower value inputs will create Floaters that are more responsive to market conditions. These are referred to as “fast” Floaters.
When fast Floaters are contracted (cover a narrow range of prices) the market is tightly balanced and can easily enter into breakout conditions, if price closes outside of the TAS Float PCLs.
Expanded Floaters that are wider apart provide for greater rotational range trading conditions.
BELOW ARE THE RECOMMENDED INPUT SETTINGS COMBINATIONS THAT WILL DICTATE HOW RESPONSIVE THE PCLs WILL REACT TO CONDITIONS:
FAST (default): 1 - 8
MEDIUM: 2 - 14
SLOW: 3 - 34
The user will typically choose to have either Statics or Float PCLs active on the chart at a time, but not both as you'll have up to 20 levels on your chart (too many). You can, however, put them on different panes. Visit the INPUT settings of the indicator to select which one you want active.
The user can change the coloring, line type and thickness in the STYLE settings.
ABOUT TAS STATIC PCLs:
Many traders opt for TAS Static PCLs because they prefer to know the significant commercial interest price areas before they trade.
Unlike Floaters, TAS Static levels will not change throughout the trading session and are only affected if the user changes the opening and closing time parameters for the trading session displayed. By default, Static levels will recalculate and display new levels upon the reopen of the next session.
Tightly compacted POC lines designate an area of particularly strong commercial interest that provides higher probability, lower risk entries for extended directional moves. These areas are often referred to as “walls.”
If the POC lines are spread out over a wider range, a trader should be on the lookout for a more rotational trading session.
Periodically, one of the POC lines may be plotted outside of a red line (S1 or R1). In this case, the market may be biased in the same direction that the POC line is in relation to the red line.
TAS PRICE COMPRESSION LEVELS can be used as a stand-alone trading guidance system or in conjunction with other popular TASMarketProfile indicators.

80% EDGE Rule - TPO Based═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
80% EDGE RULE - TPO BASED
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
█ OVERVIEW
The 80% Edge Rule is a high-probability Market Profile concept that identifies when price is likely to traverse the prior session's Value Area. This indicator automates the detection, confirmation, and tracking of 80% EDGE Rule setups using true TPO (Time Price Opportunity) calculations—not volume profile.
When price opens outside the previous day's Value Area and then re-enters and is "accepted" back inside, there is an 80% statistical probability that price will travel to the opposite side of the Value Area. This indicator does all the heavy lifting: calculating the prior session's Value Area, detecting valid setups, confirming acceptance, and tracking progress toward the target.
█ THE 80% EDGE RULE EXPLAINED
The 80% Edge Rule is based on Market Profile theory developed by J. Peter Steidlmayer at the Chicago Board of Trade. The rule states:
❶ If price OPENS OUTSIDE the prior day's Value Area...
❷ And then ENTERS and is ACCEPTED back into the Value Area...
❸ There is an 80% chance price will rotate to the OTHER SIDE of the Value Area.
"Acceptance" is defined as price spending TWO OR MORE TPO periods (typically 30-minute blocks) inside the Value Area. This indicates that the market has accepted these prices as fair value, and the auction process will likely continue through to the opposite boundary.
BULLISH SETUP: Price opens BELOW the prior VAL → Enters and is accepted → Target is VAH
BEARISH SETUP: Price opens ABOVE the prior VAH → Enters and is accepted → Target is VAL
█ HOW THIS INDICATOR WORKS
This indicator performs several automated functions:
1. TPO VALUE AREA CALCULATION
• Analyzes the prior RTH (Regular Trading Hours) session
• Builds a true TPO distribution using 30-minute time blocks
• Each price level receives +1 TPO for each period it was touched
• Calculates POC (Point of Control) as the price with highest TPO count
• Expands from POC using the CME/CBOT standard "two-price" method until 70% of TPOs are captured
• This defines VAH (Value Area High) and VAL (Value Area Low)
2. SETUP DETECTION
• Monitors the RTH open (default 9:30 AM ET)
• Detects if price opened outside the prior Value Area
• Determines setup direction (Bullish or Bearish)
3. ACCEPTANCE MONITORING
• Tracks TPO blocks where price remains inside the Value Area
• Confirms setup when required number of blocks is reached (default: 2)
• Resets count if price exits VA before confirmation
4. TARGET & INVALIDATION TRACKING
• Monitors for target completion (opposite VA boundary)
• Monitors for invalidation (price moves beyond entry VA boundary + buffer)
• Visual feedback on outcome
█ VISUAL ELEMENTS

🔥 ULTIMATE ORDER FLOW SYSTEM
Overview
This comprehensive order flow analysis tool combines Volume Profile, Cumulative Delta, and Large Order Detection to identify high-probability trading setups. The script analyzes institutional order flow patterns and volume distribution to pinpoint key levels where price is likely to react.
________________________________________
📊 Core Components & Methodology
1. Volume Profile Analysis
The script constructs a horizontal volume profile by:
• Dividing the price range into configurable rows (default: 20)
• Accumulating volume at each price level over a lookback period (default: 50 bars)
• Separating buy volume (green bars close > open) from sell volume (red bars)
• Identifying three critical levels:
o POC (Point of Control): Price level with highest traded volume - acts as a strong magnet
o VAH/VAL (Value Area High/Low): Contains 70% of total volume - defines fair value zone
o HVN (High Volume Nodes): Resistance zones where institutions accumulated positions
o LVN (Low Volume Nodes): Thin zones that price moves through quickly - ideal targets
Why This Matters: Institutional traders leave footprints through volume. HVN zones show where large players defended levels, making them reliable support/resistance.
________________________________________
2. Cumulative Delta (Order Flow)
Tracks the running total of buying vs selling pressure:
• Bar Delta: Difference between buy and sell volume per candle
• Cumulative Delta: Sum of all bar deltas - shows net directional pressure
• Delta Moving Average: Smoothed delta (20-period) to identify trend
• Delta Divergences:
o Bullish: Price makes lower low, but delta makes higher low (absorption at bottom)
o Bearish: Price makes higher high, but delta makes lower high (exhaustion at top)
How It Works: When cumulative delta trends up while price consolidates, it signals accumulation. Delta divergences reveal when smart money is positioned opposite to retail expectations.
________________________________________
3. Large Order Detection
Identifies institutional-sized orders in real-time:
• Compares current bar volume to 20-period moving average
• Flags orders exceeding 2.5x average volume (configurable multiplier)
• Distinguishes bullish (green circles below) vs bearish (red circles above) large orders
Rationale: Sudden volume spikes at key levels indicate institutional participation - the "fuel" needed for breakouts or reversals.
________________________________________
🎯 Trading Signal Logic
Combined Setup Criteria
The script generates SHORT and LONG signals when multiple conditions align:
SHORT Signal Requirements:
1. Price reaches an HVN resistance zone (within 0.2%)
2. Large sell order detected (volume spike + red candle)
3. Cumulative delta is bearish OR bearish divergence present
4. 10-bar cooldown between signals (prevents overtrading)
LONG Signal Requirements:
1. Price reaches an HVN support zone
2. Large buy order detected (volume spike + green candle)
3. Cumulative delta is bullish OR bullish divergence present
4. 10-bar cooldown enforced
________________________________________
🔧 Customization Options
Setting - Purpose - Recommendation
Volume Profile Rows - Granularity of level detection - 20 (balanced)
Lookback Period - Historical data analyzed - 50 bars (intraday), 200 (swing)
Large Order Multiplier - Sensitivity to volume spikes - 2.5x (standard), 3.5x (conservative)
HVN Threshold - Resistance zone detection - 1.3 (default)
LVN Threshold - Target zone identification - 0.6 (default)
Divergence Lookback - Pivot detection period - 5 bars (responsive)
________________________________________
📈 Dashboard Indicators
The real-time panel displays:
• POC: Current Point of Control price
• Location: Whether price is at HVN resistance
• Orders: Current large buy/sell activity
• Cumulative Δ: Net order flow value + trend direction
• Divergence: Active bullish/bearish divergences
• Bar Strength: % of candle volume that's directional (>65% = strong)
• SETUP: Current trade signal (LONG/SHORT/WAIT)
________________________________________
🎨 Visual System
• Yellow POC Line: Highest volume level - primary pivot
• Blue Value Area Box: Fair value zone (VAH to VAL)
• Red HVN Zones: Resistance/support from institutional accumulation
• Green LVN Zones: Low-liquidity targets for quick moves
• Volume Bars: Green (buy pressure) vs Red (sell pressure) distribution
• Triangles: LONG (green up) and SHORT (red down) entry signals
• Diamonds: Divergence warnings (cyan=bullish, fuchsia=bearish)
________________________________________
💡 How This Script Is Unique
Unlike standalone volume profile or delta indicators, this script:
1. Synthesizes three complementary methods - volume structure, order flow momentum, and liquidity detection
2. Requires multi-factor confirmation - signals only trigger when price, volume, and delta align at key zones
3. Adapts to market regime - delta filters ensure you're trading with the dominant order flow direction
4. Provides context, not just signals - the dashboard helps you understand why a setup is forming
________________________________________
⚙️ Best Practices
Timeframes:
• 5-15 min: Scalping (use 30-50 bar lookback)
• 1-4 hour: Swing trading (use 100-200 bar lookback)
Risk Management:
• Enter on signal candle close
• Stop loss: Beyond nearest HVN/LVN zone
• Target 1: Next LVN level
• Target 2: Opposite value area boundary
Filters:
• Avoid signals during major news events
• Require bar delta strength >65% for aggressive entries
• Wait for delta MA cross confirmation in ranging markets
________________________________________
🚨 Alerts Available
• Long Setup Trigger
• Short Setup Trigger
• Bullish/Bearish Divergence Detection
• Large Buy/Sell Order Execution
________________________________________
📚 Educational Context
This methodology is based on principles used by professional order flow traders:
• Market Profile Theory: Volume distribution reveals fair value
• Tape Reading: Large orders show institutional intent
• Auction Theory: Price seeks areas of liquidity imbalance (LVN zones)
The script automates pattern recognition that discretionary traders spend years learning to identify manually.

- **Cumulative Delta**: Sum of all bar deltas - shows net directional pressure
- **Delta Moving Average**: Smoothed delta (20-period) to identify trend
- **Delta Divergences**:
- **Bullish**: Price makes lower low, but delta makes higher low (absorption at bottom)
- **Bearish**: Price makes higher high, but delta makes lower high (exhaustion at top)
**How It Works**: When cumulative delta trends up while price consolidates, it signals accumulation. Delta divergences reveal when smart money is positioned opposite to retail expectations.

### 3. **Large Order Detection**
Identifies **institutional-sized orders** in real-time:
- Compares current bar volume to 20-period moving average
- Flags orders exceeding 2.5x average volume (configurable multiplier)
- Distinguishes bullish (green circles below) vs bearish (red circles above) large orders
**Rationale**: Sudden volume spikes at key levels indicate institutional participation - the "fuel" needed for breakouts or reversals.

## 🎯 Trading Signal Logic
### Combined Setup Criteria
The script generates **SHORT** and **LONG** signals when multiple conditions align:
**SHORT Signal Requirements:**
1. Price reaches an HVN resistance zone (within 0.2%)
2. Large sell order detected (volume spike + red candle)
3. Cumulative delta is bearish OR bearish divergence present
4. 10-bar cooldown between signals (prevents overtrading)
**LONG Signal Requirements:**
1. Price reaches an HVN support zone
2. Large buy order detected (volume spike + green candle)
3. Cumulative delta is bullish OR bullish divergence present
4. 10-bar cooldown enforced

VWAP Wave System ToolkitGENERAL OVERVIEW:
The VWAP Wave System Toolkit is an all-in-one trading indicator based on rules from Auction Market Theory. The indicator is built around Volume-Weighted Average Prices (VWAP), Initial Balance (IB) levels, session/composite volume profiles, low-volume zones, optional candle coloring, trade checklists, dashboard readings, and a watermark.
This indicator was developed by Flux Charts in collaboration with Chris Drysdale (Trader Drysdale), author of the best-selling book VWAP Wave System.
What’s the purpose of this indicator?
The VWAP Wave System Toolkit helps traders see where market value is forming, shifting, or being rejected across different timeframes. It’s built on the ideas of Auction Market Theory, which views the market as a continuous auction between buyers and sellers searching for fair value. The indicator combines VWAPs, Initial Balance levels, and volume profiles into one system that shows how price interacts with value throughout the day, week, and month. By combining short-term and higher-timeframe data, it helps traders understand when the market is balanced and when it’s starting to discover new price areas.
What’s the theory behind this indicator?
This indicator is built on Auction Market Theory, introduced by J. Peter Steidlmayer. The theory says that markets operate as continuous auctions, constantly seeking a fair price where buyers and sellers agree on value. When price stays within a narrow range and volume builds up, the market is balanced around a value area. When price moves away from that area, the market enters price discovery, searching for a new zone of balance. VWAPs represent an evolving measure of value, while Volume Profiles and Initial Balance visualize how the auction developed during each session. Low Volume Zones often show where the market moved too quickly to trade efficiently, making them potential areas of interest for future reactions. By combining these elements, the indicator provides a picture of how the market is auctioning and where value may shift next.
VWAP WAVE SYSTEM TOOLKIT FEATURES:
The VWAP Wave System Toolkit indicator includes 7 main features:
Initial Balance Levels
Multi-Timeframe VWAPs
Session Volume Profile
Composite Volume Profile
Low Volume Zones
Checklist
Watermark
Initial Balance Levels:
🔹What is the Initial Balance?
The Initial Balance (IB) is defined by the high and low prices that form within a specific time window. Typically, this time window is the first hour after the regular day trading session starts (09:30 - 10:30 AM EST).
The high and low formed during this window create the foundation for the day’s price structure. From these two points, the indicator automatically calculates several key reference levels that show how far price has extended beyond the initial range or where it may still be balanced. Understanding how these levels are derived and how to interpret them is essential to using the Initial Balance effectively.
🔹How Initial Balance Levels are calculated:
Once the IB window closes, the indicator plots a full set of reference levels derived from the IB range. These levels are:
IB High
IB Low
IB Midpoint
x2 High / x2 Low
x2 Midpoints (x1.5 High/Low)
x3 High / x3 Low
x3 Midpoints (x2.5 High/Low)
🔹IB High & IB Low
The IB High is the highest price reached during the IB session window, and the IB Low is the lowest price reached.
🔹IB Midpoint
The IB Midpoint is the average of the IB High and IB Low.
🔹x2 High & x2 Low
The x2 levels are calculated by projecting one full IB Range above and below the Initial Balance. The IB Range is the distance between the IB High and IB Low.
🔹x2 High Midpoint & x2 Low Midpoint
The x2 High Midpoint (x1.5 High) is the average of the IB High and x2 High. The x2 Low Midpoint (x1.5 Low) is the average of the IB Low and x2 Low.
🔹x3 High & x3 Low
The x3 High/Low levels are calculated by projecting two full IB Range above and below the Initial Balance.
🔹x3 High Midpoint & x3 Low Midpoint
The x3 High Midpoint (x2.5 High) is the average of the x2 High and x3 High. The x3 Low Midpoint (x2.5 Low) is the average of the x2 Low and x3 Low.
🔹Breaks & Retests:
For every Initial Balance level, the indicator automatically tracks when price retests or breaks through them.
A Break occurs when a candle closes above or below an IB level. When this happens, the indicator plots a small blue triangle.
A Retest occurs when price approaches and touches an IB Level, and then reverses in the opposite direction. When this happens, the indicator plots a small green or red triangle.
Green Triangle: Bullish Retest - Price comes down to a level, touches it, and continues up.
Red Triangle: Bearish Retest - Price comes up to a level, touches it, and continues down.
Both breaks and retests are plotted directly on the chart for every toggled IB level. Once detected, they remain fixed and are not repainted.
Other Settings:
🔹Shade IB Range
When enabled, this setting fills the area between the IB High and IB Low (IB Range). The fill helps visually separate the Initial Balance range from the rest of the session, making it easier to identify when price is trading inside or outside of the IB. The color and opacity can also be adjusted through the settings.
🔹Apply One Color
When this setting is enabled, all toggled IB levels use the same color instead of the user’s inputted colors.
🔹Levels Labels
When enabled, text labels that identify each IB level (for example, “IB High,” “x2 High,” or “x2.5 Low”) appear next to each level.
🔹Price Labels
When enabled, the indicator displays the real-time price value of each IB level directly on the chart. These labels update automatically as price changes or when the levels shift due to recalculation from a new session.
🔹Extend Levels Right
When enabled, all toggled IB Levels will be extended infinitely to the right of the chart.
🔹Align Text Right
This setting aligns all level and price labels to the right edge of the plotted line. When disabled, text labels will be aligned to the left edge of each level.
Multi-Timeframe VWAPs:
🔹Why does this indicator include VWAPs?
This indicator includes VWAPs because they show where the most trading activity has occurred within each timeframe, helping identify the market’s fair value area. According to Auction Market Theory, price moves between periods of balance and imbalance as buyers and sellers seek fair value. VWAPs represent those balance points where the majority of trading has taken place. By plotting the Intraday, Weekly, and Monthly VWAPs, the indicator shows how value shifts across different timeframes and whether the market is balanced or moving toward a new area of value.
🔹Intraday VWAP
The Intraday VWAP measures the average traded price for the current trading session and resets each day at market open. It shows where most of the session’s trading has taken place, acting as a real-time fair value line. When price trades near the Intraday VWAP, the market is considered balanced. When price moves far above or below it, the market is exploring new value areas.
🔹Candle Coloring:
The Intraday VWAP candle coloring highlights how far price is trading from the session’s average value using the first and second standard deviation bands as visual reference zones. This feature helps users see whether price is balanced around fair value or expanding into an overextended area.
When candle coloring is enabled, each candle’s color changes based on where it closes relative to the two standard deviation bands surrounding the Intraday VWAP. The first band represents one standard deviation (1.0 STD) and the second represents one and a half standard deviations (1.5 STD).
If a candle closes above the upper 1.5 standard deviation band, it is colored a brighter green, showing strong movement above fair value. Candles closing between the upper 1.0 and 1.5 standard deviation bands are a lighter green, showing moderate strength. If a candle closes below the lower 1.5 standard deviation band, it is colored a brighter red, showing strong movement below fair value. Candles closing between the lower 1.0 and 1.5 standard deviation bands are a lighter red, showing moderate weakness. Candles that close within the ±1.0 standard deviation range remain their normal color, showing that price is balanced near the session’s average.
Both the VWAP line and its bands can be customized in the Intraday VWAP settings. Users can adjust the VWAP line color, band colors, and fill transparency. The candle colors can also be modified. The band sizes (1.0 STD and 1.5 STD by default) can be changed through their input multipliers, allowing users to control the sensitivity of the zones.
Please Note: This candle coloring applies only to the Intraday VWAP
🔹Weekly VWAP
The Weekly VWAP measures the average traded price across the current trading week and resets at the start of each new week. It reflects the fair value area that has developed over multiple trading days, providing a broader view of market balance compared to the Intraday VWAP. When price stays close to the Weekly VWAP, it indicates that the week’s trading activity is balanced. When price consistently trades above or below it, the market is moving away from that balance and forming value in a new area.
Standard Deviation Bands:
The Weekly VWAP includes optional standard deviation bands. Users can toggle 1x and 1.5x STD bands. Users can also adjust the multipliers.
Customization:
All colors for the Weekly VWAP and its standard deviation bands can be changed in the indicator’s settings. Users can adjust the VWAP line color, band colors, and fill transparency.
🔹Monthly VWAP
The Monthly VWAP measures the average traded price for the current month and resets on the first trading day of each new month. It provides the broadest view of value within this indicator, showing where the majority of trading has occurred during the current month. When price remains near the Monthly VWAP, it reflects long-term balance.
Standard Deviation Bands:
The Monthly VWAP includes optional 1x and 1.5x standard deviation bands that can be enabled or disabled. In the settings, users can adjust the standard deviation multipliers.
Customization:
The Monthly VWAP line, band colors, and fill transparency can all be modified in the indicator’s settings.
🔹VWAP Dashboard
The VWAP Dashboard provides a quick real-time overview of how price is positioned relative to the Intraday, Weekly, and Monthly VWAPs. It is displayed directly on the chart and updates automatically with each new candle.
The dashboard is divided into five labeled sections:
Intraday
Weekly
Monthly
Weekly STD
Monthly STD
Intraday, Weekly, and Monthly Sections:
These three sections show whether price is currently trading Above or Below each VWAP.
If price is above a VWAP, that section displays “Bullish”
If price is below a VWAP, that section displays “Bearish”
Weekly STD and Monthly STD:
These sections display whether price is currently inside or outside the standard deviation bands of the Weekly and Monthly VWAPs.
When price is trading within the ±1.0 standard deviation zone, the dashboard output is “Balanced Market”
When price is above the upper standard deviation, price is extending up beyond the week’s or month’s fair value, and the dashboard output is “Bullish Price Discovery”
When price is below the lower standard deviation, price is extending down beyond the week’s or month’s fair value, and the dashboard output is “Bearish Price Discovery”
🔹What is a Balanced Market
A balanced market occurs when price is trading within the ±1.0 standard deviation range of a VWAP. This shows that buyers and sellers are in general agreement on value, and trading activity is taking place around the fair value area. In this state, price tends to rotate around the VWAP rather than trend strongly away from it. Balance reflects stability in the auction process, where neither side is dominant and value is being built at current prices.
🔹What is Bullish Price Discovery
Bullish Price Discovery occurs when price trades above the upper standard deviation of a VWAP. This indicates that buyers are accepting higher prices and that value may be shifting upward. In terms of Auction Market Theory, the market is moving away from balance as it searches for a new fair value area above the prior range.
🔹What is Bearish Price Discovery
Bearish Price Discovery occurs when price trades below the lower standard deviation of a VWAP. This shows that sellers are accepting lower prices and that value may be developing beneath the prior area of balance. The market is moving out of equilibrium as participants test lower prices to find new fair value.
Session Volume Profile:
🔹Why this feature is included:
The Session Volume Profile is included to show where trading activity occurred within each session. It visually represents the volume traded at each price, helping to identify where market participants considered value to be. This ties directly to Auction Market Theory, which views markets as auctions seeking balance between buyers and sellers. The profile highlights those balance areas and shows where volume thins out, helping distinguish between value areas and areas of rejection.
🔹How is the Session Volume Profile calculated and displayed:
At the start of each selected session window, the indicator creates a new volume profile and tracks every bar in that session. For each candle, it saves the high, low, open, close, volume, and time. When the HD (High Definition) setting is enabled, and your chart is between the 1-minute and 30-minute timeframes (recommended), the indicator requests lower-timeframe data and feeds the profile with 1-minute candlesticks for more detail. The running session high and low define the vertical bounds of the volume profile. That span is split into a fixed number of rows. Each row represents a price slice. For every bar and every price row, the indicator checks whether the bar’s high-low range touches that row. If it does, it adds part of the bar’s volume to that row. The allocation uses a step-to-bar-size ratio, so that narrow bars do not overload a tall row and tall bars contribute proportionally across all rows they cross. If the bar closes above its open, that row’s “up” volume bucket is incremented. If it closes below its open, the “down” bucket is incremented. After all bars are processed, the row with the highest total becomes the Point of Control (POC). Starting from that row, the indicator expands upward and downward, adding adjacent rows until the cumulative total reaches your Value Area percentage. The upper boundary is Value Area High (VAH), and the lower boundary is Value Area Low (VAL).
For rendering, each price row becomes a horizontal box drawn from the session start time to a length proportional to that row’s volume versus the session’s maximum row volume. If you choose “Up / Down” volume, the row is split into two adjoining boxes that show the up and down portions. If you choose “Total,” a single box is drawn to the total length. If you choose “Delta,” the length reflects the absolute difference between up and down. The POC is drawn as a line across the row midpoint. VAH and VAL are drawn at the exact prices of the top and bottom value rows. While a session is open the profile keeps updating as new bars form. When the session ends, the script fixes its start and end and stops changing that profile. To avoid any issues with drawing limits, the indicator only renders the two most recent session volume profiles.
Settings:
🔹Enabled
Turns the Session Volume Profile on or off. When disabled, no session profiles, lines, or volume boxes are displayed.
🔹HD
Stands for High Definition. When enabled, the indicator requests data from the 1-minute timeframe to build a smoother, more detailed volume profile. This produces finer row distribution and more accurate POC, VAH, and VAL positioning, especially on higher chart timeframes.
🔹POC Line
Toggles the visibility of the Point of Control line. The POC represents the price level with the highest traded volume in the session. It’s drawn horizontally across the chart at that price, and its color can be customized in settings.
🔹VAH
Controls the display of the Value Area High line. The VAH is the top boundary of the range that contains the specified percentage of total traded volume (default 70%). It marks where volume starts to thin out above fair value. Users can turn it on or off and customize its color.
🔹VAL
Controls the display of the Value Area Low line. The VAL is the lower boundary of the value area and marks where volume thins out below fair value. Its visibility and color can also be customized.
🔹Session
This setting allows users to define the start and end time of the trading session used to calculate the session volume profile. Only bars within this time window are included in the volume profile. When a session ends, the volume profile locks, and a new one begins automatically when the next session begins based on the user’s input.
🔹Volume
Controls how the histogram rows are displayed:
Up/Down: Splits each price row into two parts: one for bullish candles (Up volume) and one for bearish candles (Down volume). This helps visualize buying versus selling pressure at each price.
Total: Combines both Up and Down volume into a single-colored bar for each price level. Since direction isn’t separated, this view focuses purely on where trading activity was concentrated, regardless of which side was in control. A tall bar means strong participation and interest at that price.
Delta: Displays the difference between up and down volume (Up/Down) for each row, highlighting which side controlled that price area.
🔹Value Area Volume
The Value Area Volume setting defines how much of the total session volume is considered the “value area.” By default, it’s 70%, meaning the indicator finds the price range where 70% of all trading took place during that session. This area is where buyers and sellers agreed the most on price, also known as the fair value zone.
If you increase the percentage (for example, to 80%), the value area becomes wider and includes more of the session’s trading range. Lowering it (for example, to 60%) makes it narrower, focusing only on the prices with the heaviest activity.
🔹Row Size
The Row Size controls how detailed the volume profile looks. It decides how many price levels (rows) the profile is divided into. Smaller values make the profile smoother and easier to read but less precise. Larger values add more detail and show exactly where volume clustered, but they can make the profile look denser.
The maximum value is 450 rows, and the minimum value is 5 rows. Higher values (especially above 200) can make the volume profile appear more detailed but may also cause performance issues or partial rendering on TradingView charts due to the platform’s drawing object limits. For most users, values between 50–150 give a good balance between clarity and performance.
25 Rows vs. 200 Rows:
Composite Volume Profile:
The Composite Volume Profile shows how volume is distributed across a larger selected range instead of just one session. It helps traders see where the most trading activity has taken place over multiple days. This gives a picture of long-term balance areas and important price zones that have repeatedly attracted buyers and sellers.
The Composite Profile uses the same base logic and visual settings as the Session Volume Profile, including POC Line, VAH, VAL, Volume Type, Value Area Volume, Row Size, and Colors. Any customization applied to those settings also affects the Composite Profile, ensuring a consistent appearance across both features.
🔹Session Count Setting:
This setting controls how many past sessions are merged into one composite volume profile. For example, if the Session Count is set to 5, and each session represents one trading day, the profile combines data from the last 5 trading days. A “session” refers to the time window defined in the Session Volume Profile settings.
🔹How is the Composite Volume Profile used?
In Auction Market Theory, markets move through phases of balance and imbalance as traders agree on value before moving to explore new ones. The Composite Volume Profile shows where that long-term balance has formed. Large, wide areas on the profile indicate zones where multiple sessions agreed on value. Thin areas show prices that were quickly rejected, where less time and volume were traded. Combining short-term session profiles into a composite helps identify when the market is holding near established value or entering new price discovery, confirming transitions between balance and price discovery.
Low Volume Zones:
🔹What are Low Volume Zones?
Low Volume Zones (LVZs) are price areas where trading activity was minimal compared to surrounding levels. On a volume profile, they appear as thin “valleys” between two high-volume “peaks.” These valleys show where the market moved too quickly for significant two-way trade to occur. In Auction Market Theory, they represent inefficient areas, meaning the market didn’t find fair value, so price either skipped through or rejected those levels.
🔹How are Low Volume Zones found?
The indicator identifies Low Volume Zones (LVZs) directly from Session Volume Profiles (SVPs) by analyzing the shape of its volume distribution. Each SVP is built from a series of horizontal rows, where each row represents the total traded volume within a narrow price range. The longer the row, the higher the trading activity at that price.
The indicator first locates the two largest high-volume peaks on the profile. These peaks represent the strongest areas of market activity. Once these two main peaks are found, the indicator looks on both sides of each peak for the lowest-volume row in the surrounding area. Those small-volume dips define the boundaries of the Low Volume Zones.
Each high-volume peak can therefore generate two LVZs (one above and one below it), resulting in a maximum of four Low Volume Zones per volume profile. If two LVZs overlap or share the same price range, they are automatically merged into a single larger zone, which may reduce the total count to three or fewer.
🔹How are Low Volume Zones used?
Low Volume Zones (LVZs) mark areas where the market previously traded with little participation. In Auction Market Theory, these zones represent inefficient price areas where buyers and sellers failed to agree on value. When price returns to an LVZ, it may act as an area where price tends to react differently due to lower previous trading activity. If the market still sees that area as unfair, price will reject it and reverse quickly. If the market now accepts that price level, volume builds and price moves through it smoothly as the auction seeks new balance. Traders use LVZs to identify where price may react sharply or move quickly through thin areas. When price approaches a zone from above or below, it signals potential rejection or continuation.
🔹LVZ Breaks and Retests
The indicator automatically tracks how price interacts with every detected LVZ.
A Break occurs when price fully moves through the entire LVZ and closes past it. When this happens, the indicator plots a small blue triangle.
A Retest occurs when price touches an LVZ and reverses away, showing rejection. When price comes down to a level, taps it, and continues up, it’s considered a bullish retest, and a small green triangle is plotted. When price comes up to a level, taps it, and continues down, it’s considered a bearish retest, and a small red triangle is plotted.
🔹LVZ Settings
Enabled:
Toggles LVZ detection and visualization on or off.
Realtime:
Allows LVZs to form dynamically as the current session develops, updating live as volume builds or thins out. When disabled, zones only appear once the session closes.
Please note: When this setting is enabled, zones may update or shift while the current session is still forming. Because the Session Volume Profile is continuously recalculating with new data, both the volume distribution and detected zones can change until the session closes.
Row Pivot Length:
Controls how far above and below each price row the indicator looks when identifying the highest and lowest volume points that define each Low Volume Zone. Larger values make the indicator compare a wider range of rows, while smaller values keep the analysis closer to each row’s immediate area.
Last SVPs:
Defines how many recent Session Volume Profiles are used for LVZs. For example, setting it to 3 limits LVZ detection to the last three sessions only.
Retests and Breaks:
Enables or disables the display of the retest and break markers described above.
Checklist:
The Checklist is a manual on-chart dashboard that allows traders to keep track of specific market conditions before entering a trade. Each checklist item can be toggled on or off in the indicator’s settings. When enabled, a checkmark emoji appears next to that item on the dashboard. When disabled, an X emoji appears next to that item.
This feature is designed to help traders visually confirm important steps in their process, such as reviewing trend direction, VWAP alignment, or session context. The checklist can also be repositioned anywhere on the chart using the “Location” setting for better visibility and layout preference.
Watermark:
The Watermark feature displays key chart information directly in the background, including the current ticker symbol, selected timeframe, and date. The watermark’s size, color, and transparency can be adjusted in the settings.
UNIQUENESS:
The VWAP Wave System Toolkit is unique because it brings every part of Auction Market Theory to the chart. It shows how value builds and shifts by combining Initial Balance levels, multi-timeframe VWAPs, and volume profiles. The indicator automatically marks low-volume zones where the market moved too quickly, highlights breaks and retests, and tracks how price interacts with fair value across sessions, weeks, and months. Every feature works together to give a simple view of balance, imbalance, and value development as the auction unfolds.
LibVPrfLibrary "LibVPrf"
This library provides an object-oriented framework for volume
profile analysis in Pine Script®. It is built around the `VProf`
User-Defined Type (UDT), which encapsulates all data, settings,
and statistical metrics for a single profile, enabling stateful
analysis with on-demand calculations.
Key Features:
1. **Object-Oriented Design (UDT):** The library is built around
the `VProf` UDT. This object encapsulates all profile data
and provides methods for its full lifecycle management,
including creation, cloning, clearing, and merging of profiles.
2. **Volume Allocation (`AllotMode`):** Offers two methods for
allocating a bar's volume:
- **Classic:** Assigns the entire bar's volume to the close
price bucket.
- **PDF:** Distributes volume across the bar's range using a
statistical price distribution model from the `LibBrSt` library.
3. **Buy/Sell Volume Splitting (`SplitMode`):** Provides methods
for classifying volume into buying and selling pressure:
- **Classic:** Classifies volume based on the bar's color (Close vs. Open).
- **Dynamic:** A specific model that analyzes candle structure
(body vs. wicks) and a short-term trend factor to
estimate the buy/sell share at each price level.
4. **Statistical Analysis (On-Demand):** Offers a suite of
statistical metrics calculated using a "Lazy Evaluation"
pattern (computed only when requested via `get...` methods):
- **Central Tendency:** Point of Control (POC), VWAP, and Median.
- **Dispersion:** Value Area (VA) and Population Standard Deviation.
- **Shape:** Skewness and Excess Kurtosis.
- **Delta:** Cumulative Volume Delta, including its
historical high/low watermarks.
5. **Structural Analysis:** Includes a parameter-free method
(`getSegments`) to decompose a profile into its fundamental
unimodal segments, allowing for modality detection (e.g.,
identifying bimodal profiles).
6. **Dynamic Profile Management:**
- **Auto-Fitting:** Profiles set to `dynamic = true` will
automatically expand their price range to fit new data.
- **Manipulation:** The resolution, price range, and Value Area
of a dynamic profile can be changed at any time. This
triggers a resampling process that uses a **linear
interpolation model** to re-bucket existing volume.
- **Assumption:** Non-dynamic profiles are fixed and will throw
a `runtime.error` if `addBar` is called with data
outside their initial range.
7. **Bucket-Level Access:** Provides getter methods for direct
iteration and analysis of the raw buy/sell volume and price
boundaries of each individual price bucket.

# Full, Premium Description
## WorldCup Dashboard + Institutional Sessions
**A trade-ready, intraday framework that combines market structure, real flow, and institutional timing.**
This toolkit fuses **Institutional Sessions** with a **price–volume decision engine** so you can see *who is active*, *where value sits*, and *whether the drive is real*. You get: **CVD/Delta**, volume-weighted **Momentum**, **Aggression** spikes, **FVG (MTF)** with nearest side, **Daily Volume Profile (VAH/POC/VAL)**, **ATR regime**, a **24h position gauge**, classic **candle patterns**, IBH/IBL + **first-hour “true close”** lines, and a **10-vote confluence scoreboard**—all in one view.
---
## What’s inside (and how to trade it)
### 🌍 Institutional Sessions (Sydney • Tokyo • London • New York)
* Session boxes + a highlighted **first hour**.
* Plots the **true close** (first-hour close) as a running line with a label.
**Use:** Many desks anchor risk to this print. Above = bullish bias; below = bearish. **IBH/IBL** breaks during London/NY carry the most signal.
### 📊 CVD / Delta (Flow)
* Net buyer vs seller pressure with smooth trend state.
**Use:** **Rising CVD + acceptance above mid/POC** confirms continuation. Bearish price + rising CVD = caution (possible absorption).
### ⚡ Volume-Weighted Momentum
* Momentum adjusted by participation quality (volume).
**Use:** Momentum>MA and >0 → trend drive is “real”; <0 and falling → distribution risk.
### 🔥 Aggression Detector
* ROC × normalized volume × wick factor to flag **forceful** candles.
**Use:** On spikes, avoid fading blindly—wait for pullbacks into **aligned FVG** or for aggression to cool.
### 🟦🟪 Fair Value Gaps (with MTF)
* Detects up to 3 recent FVGs and marks the **nearest** side to price.
**Use:** Trend pullbacks into **bullish FVG** for longs; bounces into **bearish FVG** for shorts. Optional threshold to filter weak gaps.
### 🧭 24h Gauge (positioning)
* Shows current price across the 24h low⇢high with a mid reference.
**Use:** Above mid and pushing upper third = momentum continuation setups; below mid = sell the rips bias.
### 🧱 Daily Volume Profile (manual per day)
* **VAH / POC / VAL** derived from discretized rows.
**Use:** **POC below** supports longs; **POC above** caps rallies. Fade VAH/VAL in ranges; treat them as break/hold levels in trends.
### 📈 ATR Regime
* **ATR vs ATR-avg** with direction and regime flag (**HIGH / NORMAL / LOW**).
**Use:** HIGH ⇒ give trades room & favor trend following. LOW ⇒ fade edges, scale targets.
### 🕯️ Candle Patterns (contextual, not standalone)
* Engulfings, Morning/Evening Star, 3 Soldiers/Crows, Harami, Hammer/Shooting Star, Double Top/Bottom.
**Use:** Only with session + flow + momentum alignment.
### 🤝 Price–Volume Classification
* Labels each bar as **continuation**, **exhaustion**, **distribution**, or **healthy pullback**.
**Use:** Align continuation reads with trend; treat “Price↑ + Vol↓” as a caution flag.
### 🧪 Confluence Scoreboard & B/S Meter
* Ten elements vote: 🔵 bull, ⚪ neutral, 🟣 bear.
**Use:** Execution filter—take setups when the board’s skew matches your trade direction.
---
## Playbooks (actionable)
**Trend Pullback (Long)**
1. London/NY active, Momentum↑, CVD↑, price above 24h mid & POC.
2. Pullback into **nearest bullish FVG**.
3. Invalidate under FVG low or **true-close** line.
4. Targets: IBH → VAH → 24h high.
**Range Fade (Short)**
1. Asia/quiet regime, **Price↑ + Vol↓** into **VAH**, ATR low.
2. Nearest FVG bearish or scoreboard skew bearish.
3. Invalidate above VAH/IBH.
4. Targets: POC → VAL.
**News/Impulse**
Aggression spike? Don’t chase. Let it pull back into the aligned FVG; require CVD/Momentum agreement before entry.
---
## Alerts (included)
* **Bull/Bear Confluence ≥ 7/10**
* **Intraday Target Achieved** / **Daily Target Achieved**
* **Session True-Close Retests** (Sydney/Tokyo/London/NY)
*(Keep alerts “Once per bar” unless you specifically want intrabar triggers.)*
---
## Setup Tips
* **UTC**: Choose the reference that matches how you track sessions (default UTC+2).
* **Volume threshold**: 2.0× is a strong baseline; raise for noisy alts, lower for majors.
* **CVD smoothing**: 14–24 for scalps; 24–34 for slower markets.
* **ATR lengths**: Keep defaults unless your asset has a persistent regime shift.
---
## Why this framework?
Because **timing (sessions)**, **truth (flow)**, and **location (value/FVG)** together beat any single signal. You get *who is trading*, *how strong the push is*, and *where risk lives*—on one screen—so execution is faster and cleaner.

**Disclaimer**: Educational use only. Not financial advice. Markets are risky—backtest and size responsibly.
Previous TPOIndicator Summary
This Pine Script indicator, "Previous TPO," is designed to calculate and display five key price levels from the previous trading day's market activity. It uses a 30-minute TPO (Time Price Opportunity) profile, which is a method of organizing price by time to find areas of high and low activity.
The five levels it plots on the current day are:
1. Previous Value Area High (VAH)
2. Previous Value Area Low (VAL)
3. Previous Point of Control (POC)
4. Previous Initial Balance High (IBH)
5. Previous Initial Balance Low (IBL)
The script is built to be efficient, running its main calculation only once at the beginning of each new day. It also includes an automatic line management system to delete old lines, preventing the "Too many lines" error and keeping the chart clean.
How the Code Works
1. Data Collection: At the start of a new day (00:00), the script looks back at the chart's history. It uses request.security to access 30-minute bar data.
2. Collector Loop: It then loops backward, bar by bar, to find and store 48 unique 30-minute High/Low data points, which represents the full 24-hour range of the previous day.
3. TPO Profile: With this 30-minute data, it builds a TPO profile. It divides the previous day's price range into small bins (price levels) and counts how many 30-minute periods "touched" each price bin.
4. Level Calculation:
o POC: It finds the price bin with the highest TPO count (the most traded price) and sets it as the Point of Control.
o VAH/VAL: It starts at the POC and expands outward, adding the next-most-traded price bins until 70% (or the user-defined percentage) of the day's TPOs are included. The highest and lowest prices of this range are the Value Area High and Value Area Low.
o IBH/IBL: It identifies the high and low of the first hour (the first two 30-minute bars) of the previous day to set the Initial Balance High and Initial Balance Low.
5. Drawing: The script draws these five levels as horizontal lines across the current trading day, providing a constant reference.
6. Line Management: It keeps track of all lines in an array. When the total number of lines exceeds the user's limit (e.g., 50 days * 5 lines = 250), it automatically deletes the oldest lines from the chart.
Usefulness for Trading
This indicator provides a powerful framework for intraday traders by contextualizing the current day's price action against the previous day's "auction."
• Key Support/Resistance: The VAH, VAL, and POC act as significant support and resistance lev-els. Price reacting at these levels can signal mean reversion, while acceptance beyond them can signal a trend or expansion day.
• Value Area as Context: Trading inside the previous day's value area (between VAH and VAL) is often seen as "balanced" or "range-bound" trading. Trading outside of it is "unbalanced" or "trending."
• POC as a "Magnet": The POC, being the area of highest volume/time, often acts as a "magnet" or "center of gravity" for price.
• Opening Range: The Initial Balance (IB) levels show the opening range. A breakout from this range is often a key signal for the day's initial direction.
• 80% Rule: The script contains (currently commented-out) setup logic for the "80% Rule." This is a specific Market Profile strategy where:
1. The market opens inside the previous day's Value Area.
2. The Initial Balance fails to extend outside the VA (e.g., in a short setup, the IB high stays below the VAH).
3. This setup suggests an 80% probability that the price will rotate and test the other side of the Value Area (e.g., test the VAL).
Publication and restrictions
This script is published under the Mozilla Public Licence 2.0 (MPL 2.0) and is therefore suitable for publi-cation as an open source indicator on TradingView.
Timeframe limitation: The indicator is designed for intraday timeframes. Timeframes below 10 minutes do not work and lead to an error. Recommended time frame 30 minutes.
It will not work correctly on:
Time frame under 10 minutes: The data collection loop (max_bars_to_check = 3000) is not large enough to collect the bars required for a full day on a 5-minute chart or smaller.
High time frames (e.g. 1H, 4H, Daily): The script's logic is based on a chart timeframe 30-minute data that it requests. If higher time frames are selected, the script works but the zones are no longer correct or become irrelevant.
Dobrusky Volume PulseWhat it does & who it’s for
Volume Pulse is a lightweight, customizable volume profile overlay that shows traders how volume is distributed across price levels over a chosen lookback window. Unlike standard profiles, it also maps cumulative buy/sell pressure at each level, so you see not just where volume clustered, but which side dominated.
Core ideas
Cumulative volume by price: Builds a horizontal profile of traded volume at each level, based on user-defined depth and resolution.
Directional pressure mapping: At every price level, the script accumulates bullish vs. bearish volume based on candle closes vs. opens, providing a directional read on whether buyers or sellers had the upper hand.
POC: Automatically highlights the Point of Control (POC) — the level with the most activity.
Customizable presentation: Adjustable profile resolution, bar width, offset, colors, and whether to show cumulative, directional, or both.
How the components work together
The profile provides the “where,” while the buy/sell mapping adds the “who.” By combining these, traders can see whether a high-volume node was buyer-driven absorption or seller-driven distribution — a distinction classic profiles don’t reveal. This directional overlay reduces the guesswork of interpreting raw volume clusters.
How to use
Apply the overlay to your chart.
Watch the POC and areas of significant increase or decrease in volume (and pressure) as natural magnets or rejection areas.
When trading intraday, I've found that higher timeframe volume levels act as strong magnets. In the chart, you can see the volume levels I've drawn on the SPY daily chart. These levels are targets I use when trading the 5-minute chart.
Pay attention to color dominance at those zones — green-heavy nodes suggest buyer control; red-heavy nodes suggest seller control.
Combine with time-based volume tools and price-action for a more comprehensive trade plan.
Settings overview
Lookback depth: Number of bars used for profile calculation.
Profile resolution: Number of horizontal bars to split volume across price.
Bar style: Width, offset, and multiplier for scaling.
Toggle layers: Choose cumulative, directional, or both.
POC display: Optional highlight of the most traded level.
Limitations & best practices
This is a contextual overlay, not a trade-signal system.
Works best on liquid instruments (indices, futures, major stocks, liquid crypto) where volume distribution is meaningful.
Directional mapping uses candle body bias (close vs. open), not raw order flow. For full tape analysis, pair with actual order flow data.
Originality justification
Dual profile: combines cumulative volume-by-price and buyer/seller pressure per bin (close vs. open) — not a standard VP clone.
From-scratch binning + POC in a single pass for speed; no reused libraries.
Flexible display (cumulative / directional / both) with independent resolution, width, and offset for intraday or HTF use.
Clear visuals (optional POC, balanced node coloring) and open-source code so traders can audit and extend.
CVD Divergence & Volume ProfileThis Pine Script indicator, named "CVD Divergence & Volume Profile," is designed to identify potential trading opportunities by combining Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) divergence with Volume Profile levels and an optional Simple Moving Average (SMA) trend filter. It plots signals directly on the price chart.
Here's a breakdown of what each component does and how to potentially trade with it:
1. Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) Divergence
What it does: CVD measures the cumulative difference between buying and selling volume. A rising CVD indicates more buying pressure, while a falling CVD indicates more selling pressure. Divergence occurs when the price action contradicts the CVD's direction, suggesting a potential shift in momentum or trend reversal.
Bearish Divergence: The price makes a higher high, but the CVD makes a lower high (or fails to make a new high). This suggests that despite the price increasing, the underlying buying pressure is weakening.
Bullish Divergence: The price makes a lower low, but the CVD makes a higher low (or fails to make a new low). This suggests that despite the price decreasing, the underlying selling pressure is weakening.
Visualization:
Red triangle pointing down on the chart indicates a Bearish Divergence signal.
Green triangle pointing up on the chart indicates a Bullish Divergence signal.
2. Volume Profile Levels (VAH, VAL, POC)
What it does: The indicator calculates simplified Volume Profile levels over a user-defined vp_range (number of candles). These levels represent areas where significant trading activity has occurred:
VAH (Value Area High): The upper boundary of the "Value Area," where 70% of the volume traded.
VAL (Value Area Low): The lower boundary of the "Value Area," where 70% of the volume traded.
POC (Point of Control): The price level within the vp_range where the most volume was traded.
Significance: These levels often act as significant support and resistance zones.
Visualization:
Orange lines for VAH and VAL.
Yellow line for POC.
Zone Proximity (zone_thresh): The indicator only generates divergence signals if the current close price is within a specified percentage zone_thresh of either VAH, VAL, or POC. This filters signals to areas of high liquidity and potential turning points.
3. Trend Filter (SMA)
What it does: This is an optional filter (use_trend_filter) that uses a Simple Moving Average (sma_period, default 200).
Significance: It helps ensure that divergence signals are traded in alignment with the broader market trend, potentially increasing their reliability.
For long signals (bullish divergence), the price (close) must be above the SMA (indicating an uptrend).
For short signals (bearish divergence), the price (close) must be below the SMA (indicating a downtrend).
Visualization: A blue line on the chart representing the SMA.
How to Trade with It (Potential Strategies)
The indicator aims to provide high-probability entry points by combining multiple confirming factors. Here's how you might interpret and trade the signals:
Identify Divergence: Look for the triangle signals on your chart (red for bearish, green for bullish).
Confirm Proximity to Volume Profile Levels: The signal itself confirms that the price is near a significant Volume Profile level (VAH, VAL, or POC). These are areas where price often reacts.
Bullish Signal (Green Triangle): This suggests buying momentum is returning after a price decline, especially when the price is near VAL or POC, which might act as support.
Bearish Signal (Red Triangle): This suggests selling momentum is increasing after a price rally, especially when the price is near VAH or POC, which might act as resistance.
Check Trend Alignment (SMA Filter):
For a long trade: You would ideally want to see a green triangle (bullish divergence) while the price is above the blue SMA line. This indicates a bullish divergence confirming a potential bounce within an existing uptrend.
For a short trade: You would ideally want to see a red triangle (bearish divergence) while the price is below the blue SMA line. This indicates a bearish divergence confirming a potential rejection within an existing downtrend.
Entry and Exit Considerations:
Entry: Consider entering a trade on the candle where the signal appears, or on the subsequent candle for confirmation.
Stop Loss: For a long trade, a logical stop-loss could be placed below the lowest point of the divergence, or below the VAL/POC if the signal occurred near it. For a short trade, above the highest point of the divergence or VAH/POC.
Take Profit: Targets could be set at the opposite Volume Profile level, previous swing highs/lows, or using a fixed risk-reward ratio.
Example Trading Scenario:
Long Trade: You see a green triangle (bullish divergence) printed on the chart. You notice the price is currently at the VAL (orange line). You check the blue SMA line and confirm that the price is above it (uptrend). This confluence of factors (bullish divergence, support at VAL, and uptrend) provides a strong potential long entry signal. You might enter, place your stop loss just below VAL, and target VAH or the next resistance level.
Short Trade: You see a red triangle (bearish divergence). The price is at the VAH (orange line). The price is also below the blue SMA line (downtrend). This suggests a potential short entry. You might enter, place your stop loss just above VAH, and target VAL or the next support level.
Volume Grid [SS Premium]Hey everyone!
This is the Volume Grid indicator. It is essentially very similar to the Volume Profile Histogram indicator I released, but this premium version overlays on the chart and provides you with the tradeable ranges and the volume composition in each range. So let's get into it!
What it does:
This indicator cumulates buy and sell volume over a user defined lookback period in addition to calculating the average ranges that the stock trades in and the volume composition in each respective range.
It then paints these ranges based on the volume composition. Red means selling and green means buying. However, the brighter the red or green, the higher the buying or selling (essentially a heatmap).
The indicator will also provide you alerts when there are buying or selling volume spikes and circle the candle in which that has happened on (see example in main chart).
These alerts can of course be toggled on or off.
Trading with it:
This indicator can be used as a stand alone trading indicator, and here is how:
The ranges act as support and resistance. Within each range you can see whether the composition is buying or selling.
If we are in a green zone, it means there is buying and it is essentially a buy the dip situation (see below example):
When we are in a heavy selling zone, its essentially a short the rip situation:
You can also see when a zone transfers from a bearish or bullish zone, to the inverse:
The indicator also will plot a POC (point of control). Because we are not only pulling from daily volume data, we will already have a well established POC going into open:
This was SPY on Friday. The POC marked the current point of control from a volume perspective, which was at 482.
And here is what happened:
The POC will change colours between Red and Green, if its a bearish POC it will turn Red, bullish green. For the most part, both the bearish and bullish POCs remain within the same range but sometimes they will diverge and the indicator will alert you when this happens.
Additional options:
In addition to toggling off and on the alerts, you can also change the text colour and size.
As well, there is an option to "Condense Range". What that will do is reduce the range by a factor of 2 (in half). This will give you more aggressive support and resistance levels that you can play.
Condensed Range:
Uncondensed Range:
Personally, I prefer the condensed range, especially when trading leveraged shares, because I treat them as support and resistance levels and play breaks of them in either direction.
And last but not least, you can adjust the ranges to the daily, hourly, monthly or any timeframe you want, you simply select your desired timeframe and it will plot the ranges for that specific period:
SOXL on the week:
The yellow line represents the current period open. It is your reference line and frequently will act as support and resistance, depending on the market sentiment at the time.
That is the indicator in a nut shell, as always, please let me know your questions and suggestions below!
Safe trades and enjoy!

YinYang TrendTrend Analysis has always been an important aspect of Trading. There are so many important types of Trend Analysis and many times it may be difficult to identify what to use; let alone if an Indicator can/should be used in conjunction with another. For these exact reasons, we decided to make YinYang Trend. It is a Trend Analysis Toolkit which features many New and many Well Known Trend Analysis Indicators. However, everything in there is added specifically for the reason that it may work well in conjunction with the other Indicators prevalent within. You may be wondering, why bother including common Trend Analysis, why not make everything unique? Ideally, we would, however, you need to remember Trend Analysis may be one of the most common forms of charting. Therefore, many other traders may be using similar Trend Analysis either through plotting manually or within other Indicators. This all boils down to Psychology; you are trading against other traders, who may be seeing some of the similar information you are, and therefore, you may likewise want to see this information. What affects their trading decisions may affect yours as well.
Now enough about Trend Analysis, what is within this Indicator, and what does it do? Well, first let’s quickly mention all of its components, then we will, through a Tutorial, discuss each individually and finally how each comes together as a cohesive whole. This Indicator features many aspects:
Bull and Bear Signals
Take Profit Signals
Bull and Bear Zones
Information Tables displaying: (Boom Meter, Bull/Bear Strength, Yin/Yang State)
16 Cipher Signals
Extremes
Pivots
Trend Lines
Custom Bollinger Bands
Boom Meter Bar Colors
True Value Zones
Bar Strength Indexes
Volume Profile
There are many things to cover within our Tutorial so let's get started, chronologically from the list above.
Tutorial:
Bull and Bear Signals:
We’ve zoomed out quite a bit for this example to help give you a broader aspect of how these Bull and Bear signals work. When a signal appears, it is displaying that there may be a large amount of Bullish or Bearish Trend Analysis occurring. These signals will remain in their state of Bull or Bear until there is enough momentum change that they change over. There are a couple Options within the Settings that dictate when/where/why these signals appear, and this example is using their default Settings of ‘Medium’. They are, Purchase Speed and Purchase Strength. Purchase Speed refers to how much Price Movement is needed for a signal to occur and Purchase Strength refers to how many verifications are required for a signal to occur. For instance:
'High' uses 15 verifications to ensure signal strength.
'Medium' uses 10 verifications to ensure signal strength.
'Low' uses 5 verifications to ensure signal strength.
'Very Low' uses 3 verifications to ensure signal strength.
By default it is set to Medium (10 verifications). This means each verification is worth 10%. The verifications used are also relevant to the Purchase Speed; meaning they will be verified faster or slower depending on its speed setting. You may find that Faster Speeds and Lower Verifications may work better on Higher Time Frames; and Slower Speeds and Higher Verifications may work better on Lower Time Frames.
We will demonstrate a few examples as to how the Speed and Strength Settings work, and why it may be beneficial to adjust based on the Time Frame you’re on:
In this example above, we’ve kept the same Time Frame (1 Day), and scope; but we’ve changed Purchase Speed from Medium->Fast and Purchase Strength from Medium-Very Low. As you can see, it now generates quite a few more signals. The Speed and Strength settings that you use will likely be based on your trading style / strategy. Are you someone who likes to stay in trades longer or do you like to swing trade daily? Likewise, how do you go about identifying your Entry / Exit locations; do you start on the 1 Day for confirmation, then move to the 15/5 minute for your entry / exit? How you trade may determine which Speed and Strength settings work right for you. Let's jump to a lower Time Frame now so you can see how it works on the 15/5 minute.
Above is what BTC/USDT looks like on the 15 Minute Time Frame with Purchase Speed and Strength set to Medium. You may note that the signals require a certain amount of movement before they get started. This is normal with Medium and the amount of movement is generally dictated by the Time Frame. You may choose to use Medium on a Lower Time Frame as it may work well, but it may also be best to change it to a little slower.
We are still on the 15 Minute Time Frame here, however we simply changed Purchase Speed from Medium->Slow. As you can see, lots of the signals have been removed. Now signals may ‘hold their ground’ for much longer. It is important to adjust your Purchase Speed and Strength Settings to your Time Frame and personalized trading style accordingly.
Above we have now jumped down to the 5 Minute Time Frame. Our Purchase Speed is Slow and our Purchase Strength is Medium. We can see it looks pretty good, although there is some signal clustering going on in the middle there. If we change our Settings, we may be able to get rid of that.
We have changed our Purchase Speed from Slow->Snail (Slowest it can go) and Purchase Strength from Medium->Very Low (Lowest it can go). Changing it from Slow-Snail helped get rid of the signal clustering. You may be wondering why we lowered the Strength from Medium->Very Low, rather than going from Medium->High. This is a use case scenario and one you’ll need to decide for yourself, but we noticed when we changed the Speed from Slow->Snail that the signal clustering was gone, so then we checked both High and Very Low for Strengths to see which produced the best looking signal locations.
Please remember, you don’t have to use it the exact way we’ve displayed in this Tutorial. It is meant to be used to suit your Trading Style and Strategy. This is why we allow you to modify these settings, rather than just automating the change based on Time Frames. You’ll likely need to play around with it, as you’ll notice different settings may work better on certain pairs and Time Frames than others.
Take Profit Signals:
We’ve reset our Purchase Settings, everything is on defaults right now at Medium. We’ve enabled Take Profit signals. As you can see there are both Take Profit signals for the Bulls and the Bears. These signals are not meant to be used within automation. In fact, none of this indicator is. These signals are meant to show there has been a strong change in momentum, to such an extent that the signal may switch from its current (Bull or Bear) and now may be a good time to Take Profit. Your Take Profit Settings likewise has a Speed and Strength, and you can set them differently than your Purchase Settings. This is in case you want to Take Profit in a different manner than your Purchase Signals. For instance:
In the example above we’ve kept Purchase Strength and Speed at Medium but we changed our Take Profit Speed from Medium->Snail and our Take Profit Strength from medium->Very Low. This greatly reduces the amount of Take Profit signals, and in some cases, none are even produced. This form of Take Profit may act more as a Trailing Take Profit that if it’s not hit, nothing appears.
In this example we have changed our Purchase Speed from Medium->Fast, our Purchase Strength from Medium->Very Low. We’ve also changed our Take Profit Speed from Snail->Medium and kept our Take Profit Strength on Very Low. Now we may get our signals quicker and likewise our Take Profit may be more rare. There are many different ways you can set up your Purchase and Take Profit Settings to fit your Trading Style / Strategy.
Bull and Bear Zones:
We have disabled our Take Profit locations so that you can see the Bull and Bear Zones. These zones change color when the Signals switch. They may represent some strong Support and Resistance locations, but more importantly may be useful for visualizing changes in momentum and consolidation. These zones allow you to see various Moving Averages; and when they start to ‘fold’ (cross) each other you may see changes in momentum. Whereas, when they’re fully stretched out and moving all in the same direction, it can provide insight that the current rally may be strong. There is also the case where they look like they’re ‘twisted’ together. This happens when all of the Moving Averages are very close together and may be a sign of Consolidation. We will go over a few examples of each of these scenarios so you can understand what we’re referring to.
In this example above, there are a few different things happening. First we have the yellow circle, where the final and slowest Moving Average (MA) crossed over and now all of the MA’s that form the zone are Bullish. You can see this in the white circle where there are no MA’s that are crossing each other. Lastly, within the blue circle, we can see how some of the faster MA’s are crossing under each other. This is a bullish momentum change. The Faster moving MA’s will always be the first ones to cross before the Slower ones do. There is a color scheme in place here to represent the Speed of the MA within the Zone. Light blue is the fastest moving Bull color -> Light Green and finally -> Dark Green. Yellow is the fastest moving Bear color -> Orange and finally -> Red / Dark Red within the Zone.
Next we will review a couple different examples of what Consolidation looks like and why it is very important to look out for. Consolidation is when Most, if not All of the MA’s are very tightly ‘twisted’ together. There is very little spacing between almost all of the MA’s in the example above; highlighted by the white circle. Consolidation is important as it may indicate a strong price movement in either direction will occur soon. When the price is consolidating it means it has had very little upwards or downwards movement recently. When this happens for long enough, MA’s may all get very similar in value. This may cause high volatility as the price tries to break out of Consolidation. Let's look at another example.
Above we have two more examples of what Consolidation looks like and how high Volatility may occur after the Consolidation is broken. Please note, not all Consolidation will create high Volatility but it is something you may want to look out for.
Information Tables displaying: (Boom Meter, Bull/Bear Strength, Yin/Yang State):
Information tables are a very important way of displaying information. It contains 3 crucial pieces of information:
Boom Meter
Bull/Bear Strength
Yin/Yang State
Boom Meter is a meter that goes from 0-100% and displays whether the current price is Dumping (0 - 29%), Consolidating (30 - 70%) or Pumping (71 - 100%). The Boom Meter is meant to be a Gauge to how the price is currently fairing. It is composed of ~50 different calculations that all vary different weights to calculate its %. Many of the calculations it uses are likewise used in other things, such as the Bull/Bear Strength, Bull/Bear Zone MA cross’, Yin/Yang State, Market Cipher Signals, RSI, Volume and a few others. The Boom Meter, although not meant to be used solely to make purchase decisions, may give you a good idea of current market conditions considering how many different things it evaluates.
Bull/Bear Strength is relevant to your Purchase Speed and Strength. It displays which state it is currently in, and the % it is within that state. When a % hits 0, is when the state changes. When states change, they always start at 100% initially and will go down at the rate of Purchase Strength (how many verifications are needed). For instance, if your Purchase Strength is set to ‘Medium’ it will move 10% per verification +/-, if it is set to High, it will move 6.67% per verification +/-. Bull/Bear Strength is a good indicator of how well that current state is fairing. For instance if you started a Long when the state changed to Bull and now it is currently at Bull with 20% left, that may be a good indication it is time to get out (obviously refer to other data as well, but it may be a good way to know that the state is 20% away from transitioning to Bear).
Yin/Yang State is the strongest MA cross within our Indicator. It is unique in the sense that it is slow to change, but not so much that it moves slowly. It isn’t as simple as say a Golden/Death Cross (50/200), but it crosses more often and may hold similar weight as it. Yin stands for Negative (Bearish) and Yang stands for Positive (Bullish). The price will always be in either a state of Yin or Yang, and just because it is in one, doesn’t mean the price can’t/won’t move in the opposite direction; it simply means the price may be favoring the state it is in.
16 Cipher Signals:
Cipher Signals are key visuals of MA cross’ that may represent price movement and momentum. It would be too confusing and hard to decipher these MA’s as lines on a chart, and therefore we decided to use signals in the form of symbols instead. There are 12 Standard and 4 Predictive/Confirming Cipher signals. The Standard Cipher signals are composed of 6 Bullish and 6 Bearish (they all have opposites that balance each other out). There can never be 2 of the same signal in a row, as the Bull and Bear cancel each other out and it's always in a state of one or the other. When all 6 Bullish or Bearish signals appear in a row, very closely together, without any of the opposing signals it may represent a strong momentum movement is about to occur.
If you refer to the example above, you’ll see that the 6 Bullish Cipher signals appeared exactly as mentioned above. Shortly after the Green Circle appeared, there was a large spike in price movement in favor of the Bulls. Cipher signals don’t need to appear in a cluster exactly like the white circle in this photo for momentum to occur, but when it does, it may represent volatility more than if it is broken up with opposing signals or spaced out over a longer time span.
Above is an example of the opposite, where all 6 Bearish Cipher signals appeared together without being broken by a Bullish Cipher signal or being too far spaced out. As you can see, even though past it there was a few Bullish signals, they were quickly reversed back to Bearish before a large price movement occurred in favor of the Bears.
In the example above we’ve changed Cipher signals to Predictive and Confirming. Support Crosses (Green +) and Blood Diamonds (Red ♦) are the normal Cipher Signals that appear within the Standard Set. They are the first Cipher Signal that appears and are the most common ones as well. However, just because they are the first, that doesn’t mean they aren’t a powerful Cipher signal. For this reason, there are Predictive and Confirming Cipher signals for these. The Predictive do just that, they appear slightly sooner (if not the same bar) as the regular and the Confirming appear later (1+ bars usually). There will be times that the Predictive appears, but it doesn’t resort to the Regular appearing, or the Regular appears and the Confirming doesn’t. This is normal behavior and also the purpose of them. They are meant to be an indication of IF they may appear soon and IF the regular was indeed a valid signal.
Extremes:
Extremes are MA’s that have a very large length. They are useful for seeing Cross’ and Support and Resistance over a long period of time. However, because they are so long and slow moving, they might not always be relevant. It’s usually advised to turn them on, see if any are close to the current price point, and if they aren’t to turn them off. The main reason being is they stretch out the chart too much if they’re too far away and they also may not be relevant at that point.
When they are close to the price however, they may act as strong Support and Resistance locations as circled in the example above.
Pivots:
Pivots are used to help identify key Support and Resistance locations. They adjust on their own in an attempt to keep their locations as relevant as possible and likewise will adjust when the price pushes their current bounds. They may be useful for seeing when the Price is currently testing their level as this may represent Overbought or Oversold. Keep in mind, just because the price is testing their levels doesn’t mean it will correct; sometimes with high volatility or geopolitical news, movement may continue even if it is exhibiting Overbought or Oversold traits. Pivots may also be useful for seeing how far the price may correct to, giving you a benchmark for potential Take Profit and Stop Loss locations.
Trend Lines:
Trend Lines may be useful for identifying Support and Resistance locations on the Vertical. Trend Lines may form many different patterns, such as Pennants, Channels, Flags and Wedges. These formations may help predict and drive the price in specific directions. Many traders draw or use Indicators to help create Trend Lines to visualize where these formations will be and they may be very useful alone even for identifying possible Support and Resistance locations.
If you refer to the previous example, and now to this example, you’ll notice that the Trend Line that supported it in 2023 was actually created in June 2020 (yellow circle). Trend Lines may be crucial for identifying Support and Resistance locations on the Vertical that may withhold over time.
Custom Bollinger Bands:
Bollinger Bands are used to help see Movement vs Consolidation Zones (When it's wide vs narrow). It's also very useful for seeing where the correction areas may be. Price may bounce between top and bottom of the Bollinger Bands, unless in a pump or dump. The Boom Meter will show you whether it is currently: Dumping, Consolidation or Pumping. If combined with Boom Meter Bar Colors it may be a good indication if it will break the Bollinger Band (go outside of it). The Middle Line of the Bollinger Band (White Line) may be a very strong support / resistance location. If the price closes above or below it, it may be a good indication of the trend changing (it may indicate one of the first stages to a pump or dump). The color of the Bollinger Bands change based on if it is within a Bull or Bear Zone.
What makes this Bollinger Band special is not only that it uses a custom multiplier, but it also incorporates volume to help add weight to the calculation.
Boom Meter Bar Colors:
Boom Meter Bar Colors are a way to see potential Overbought and Oversold locations on a per bar basis. There are 6 different colors within the Boom Meter bar colors. You have:
Overbought and Very Bullish = Dark Green
Overbought and Slightly Bullish = Light Green
Overbought and Slight Bearish = Light Red
Oversold and Very Bearish = Dark Red
Oversold and Slightly Bearish = Orange
Oversold and Slightly Bullish = Light Purple
When there is no Boom Meter Bar Color prevalent there won’t be a color change within the bar at all.
Just because there is a Boom Meter Bar Color change doesn’t mean you should act on it purchase or sell wise, but it may be an indication as to how that bar is fairing in an Overbought / Oversold perspective. Boom Meter Bar Colors are mainly based on RSI but do take in other factors like price movement to determine if it is Overbought or Oversold. When it comes to Boom Meter Bar Color, you should take it as it is, in the sense that it may be useful for seeing how Individual bars are fairing, but also note that there may be things such as:
When there is Very Overbought (Dark Green) or Very Oversold (Dark Red), during massive pump or dumps, it will maintain this color. However, once it has lost ‘some’ momentum it will likely lose this color.
When there has been a massive Pump or Dump, and there is likewise a light purple or light red, this may mean there is a correction or consolidation incoming.
True Value Zones:
True Value zones are our custom way of displaying something that is similar to a Bollinger Band that can likewise twist like an MA cross. The main purpose of it is to display where the price may reside within. Much like a Bollinger Band it has its High and Low within its zone to specify this location. Since it has the ability to cross over and under, it has the ability to specify what it thinks may be a Bullish or Bearish zone. This zone uses its upper level to display what may be a Resistance location and its lower level to display what may be a Support location. These Support and Resistance locations are based on Momentum and will move with the price in an attempt to stay relevant.
You may use these True Values zones as a gauge of if the price is Overbought or Oversold. When the price faces high volatility and moves outside of the True Value Zones, it may face consolidation or likewise a correction to bring it back within these zones. These zones may act as a guideline towards where the price is currently valued at and may belong within.
Bar Strength Indexes:
Bar Strength Indexes are our way of ranking each bar in correlation to the last few. It is based on a few things but is highly influenced on Open/Close/High/Low, Volume and how the price has moved recently. They may attempt to ‘rate’ each bar and how Bullish/Bearish each of these bars are. The Green number under the bar is its Bullish % and the Red number above the bar is its Bearish %. These %’s will always equal 100% when combined together. Bar Strength Indexes may be useful for seeing when either Bullish or Bearish momentum is picking up or when there may be a reversal / consolidation.
These Bar Strength Indexes may allow you to decipher different states. If you refer to the example above, you may notice how based on how the numbers are changing, you may see when it has entered / exited Bullish, Bearish and Consolidation. Likewise, if you refer to the current bar (yellow circle), you can see that the Bullish % has dropped from 93 to 49; this may be signifying that the Bullish movement is losing momentum. You may use these changes in Bar Indexes as a guide to when to enter / end trades.
Volume Profile:
Volume Profile has been something that has been within TradingView for quite some time. It is a very useful way of seeing at what Horizontal Price there has been the most volume. This may be very useful for seeing not only Support and Resistance locations based on Volume, but also seeing where the majority of Limit Orders are placed. Limit Orders are where traders decide they want to either Buy / Sell but have the order placed so the trade won’t happen until the price reaches a certain amount. Either through many orders from many traders, or a single order from a ‘Whale’ (trader with a lot of capital); you may see Support and Resistance at specific Price Points that have large Volume.
Many Volume Profile Indicators feature a breakdown of all the different locations of volume, along with a Point Of Control (POC) line to designate where the most Volume has been. To try and reduce clutter within our already very saturated Toolkit Indicator, we’ve decided to strip our Volume Profile to only display this POC line. This may allow you to see where the crucial Volume Support and Resistance is without all of the clutter.
You may be wondering, well how important is this Volume Profile POC line and how do I go about using it? Aside from it being a gauge towards where Support and Resistance may be within Volume, it may also be useful for identifying good Long/Short locations. If you think of the line as a ‘Battle’ between the Bulls and Bears, they’re both fighting over that line. The Bears are wanting to break through it downwards, and the Bulls are wanting to break through it upwards. When one side has temporarily won this battle, this means they may have more Capital to push the price in their direction. For instance, if both the Bulls and the Bears are fighting over this POC price, that means the Bears think that price is a good spot to sell; however, the Bulls also deem that price to be a good point to buy. If the Bulls were to win this battle, that means the Bears either canceled their orders to reevaluate, or all of their orders have been completed from the Bulls buying them all. What may happen after that is, if the Bulls were able to purchase all of these Limit Sell Orders, then they may still have more Capital left to continue to pressure the price upwards. The same may be true for if the Bears were to win this ‘Battle’.
How to use YinYang Trend as a cohesive whole:
Hopefully you’ve read and understand how each aspect of this Indicator works on its own, as knowing how/what they each do is important to understanding how it is used as a cohesive whole. Due to the fact that this Toolkit of an Indicator displays so much data, you may find it easier to use and understand when you’re zoomed in a little, somewhat like we are in this example above.
If we refer to the example above, you may like us, deduce a few things:
1. The current price may be VERY Overbought. This may be seen by a few different things:
The Boom Meter Bar Colors have been exhibiting a Dark Green color for 6 bars in a row.
The price has continuously been moving the High (red) Pivot Upwards.
Our Boom Meter displays ‘Pumping’ at 100%.
The price broke through a Downward Trend Line that was created in February of 2022 at 45,000 like it was nothing.
The Bar Strength Index hit a Bullish value of 93%.
The Price broke out of the Bollinger Bands and continues to test its upper levels.
The Low is much greater than our fastest moving MA that creates the Purchase Zones.
The Price is vastly outside of the True Value Zone.
The Bar Strength Index of our current bar is 50% bullish, which is a massive decrease from the previous bar of 93%. This may indicate that a correction is coming soon.
2. Since we’ve identified the current price may be VERY Overbought, next we need to identify if/when/to where it may correct to:
We’ve created a new example here to display potential correction areas. There are a few places it has the ability to correct to / within:
The downward Trend Line (red) below the current bar sitting currently at 32,750. This downward Trend Line is at the same price point as the Fastest MA of our Purchase Zone which may provide some decent Support there.
Between two crucial Pivot heights, within a zone of 30,000 to 31,815. This zone has the second fastest MA from the Purchase Zone right near the middle of it at 31,200 which may act as a Support within the Zone. Likewise there is the Bollinger Band Basis which is also resting at 30,000 which may provide a strong Support location here.
If 30,000 fails there may be a correction all the way to the bottom of our True Value Zone and the top of one of our Extremes at 27,850.
If 27,850 fails it may correct all the way to the bottom of our Purchase Zone / lowest of our Extremes at 27,350.
If all of the above fails, it may test our Volume Profile POC of 26,430. If this POC fails, the trend may switch to Bearish and continue further down to lower levels of Support.
The price can always correct more than the prices mentioned above, but considering overall this Indicator is favoring the Bulls, we will tailor this analysis in Favor of the Bullish Momentum maintaining even during this correction. For these reasons, we think the price may correct between the 30,000 and 31,815 zone before continuing upwards and maintaining this Bullish Momentum.
Please note, these correction estimates are just that, they’re estimates. Aside from the fact that the price is very overbought right now and our Bar Strength Index may be declining (bar hasn’t closed yet); the Boom Meter Strength remains at 100%, meaning there may not be much Bearish momentum changes happening yet. We just want to show you how an Preemptive analysis may be done before there are even Bearish Cipher Signals appearing.
Using this Indicator, you may be able to decipher Entry and Exits. In the previous example, we went over how you may use it to see where a correction (Exit / Take Profit) may be and how far this correction may go. In this example above we will be discussing how to identify Entry locations. We will be discussing a Bullish Buy entry but the same rules apply for a Bearish Sell Entry just the opposite with the Cipher Signals.
If you refer to where we circled in white, this is where the Purchase Zones faced Consolidation. When the Purchase Zones all get tight and close together like that, this may represent Volatility and Momentum in either direction may occur soon.
This was then followed by all 6 of the Standard Cipher Signals closely in succession to each other. This means the Momentum may be favoring the Bulls. If this was likewise all 6 of the Bearish Cipher Signals closely in succession, than the momentum change would favor the Bears.
If you were looking for an entry, and you saw Consolidation with the Purchase Zones and then shortly after you saw the Green Circle and Blue Flag (they can swap order); this may now be a good Entry location.
We will conclude this Tutorial here. Hopefully this has taught you how this Trend Analysis Toolkit may help you locate multiple different types of important Support and Resistance locations; as well as possible Entry and Exit locations.
Settings:
1. Bull/Bear Zones:
1.1. Purchase Speed (Bull/Bear Signals and Take Profit Signals):
Speed determines how much price movement is needed for a signal to occur.
'Sonic' uses the extremities to try and get you the best entry and exit points, but is so quick, its speed may reduce accuracy.
'Fast' may attempt to capitalize on price movements to help you get SOME or attempt to lose LITTLE quickly.
'Medium' may attempt to get you the most optimal entry and exit locations, but may miss extremities.
'Slow' may stay in trades until it is clear that momentum has changed.
'Snail' may stay in trades even if momentum has changed. Snail may only change when the price has moved significantly (This may result in BIG gains, but potentially also BIG losses).
1.2. Purchase Strength (Bull/Bear Signals and Take Profit Signals):
Strength ensures a certain amount of verifications required for signals to happen. The more verifications the more accurate that signal is, but it may also change entry and exit points, and you may miss out on some of the extremities. It is highly advised to find the best combination between Speed and Strength for the TimeFrame and Pair you are trading in, as all pairs and TimeFrames move differently.
'High' uses 15 verifications to ensure signal strength.
'Medium' uses 10 verifications to ensure signal strength.
'Low' uses 5 verifications to ensure signal strength.
'Very Low' uses 3 verifications to ensure signal strength.
2. Cipher Signals:
Cipher Signals are very strong EMA and SMA crosses, which may drastically help visualize movement and help you to predict where the price will go. All Symbols have counter opposites that cancel each other out (YinYang). Here is a list, in order of general appearance and strength:
White Cross / Diamond (Predictive): The initial indicator showing trend movement.
Green Cross / Diamond (Regular): Confirms the Predictive and may add a fair bit of strength to trend movement.
Blue Cross / Diamond (Confirming): Confirms the Regular, showing the trend might have some decent momentum now.
Green / Red X: Gives momentum to the current trend direction, possibly confirming the Confirming Cross/Diamond.
Blue / Orange Triangle: may confirm the X, Possible pump / dump of decent size may be coming soon.
Green / Red Circle: EITHER confirms the Triangle and may mean big pump / dump is potentially coming, OR it just hit its peak and signifies a potential reversal correction. PAY ATTENTION!
Green / Red Flag: Oddball that helps confirm trend movements on the short term.
Blue / Yellow Flag: Oddball that helps confirm trend movements on the medium term (Yin / Yang is the long term Oddball).
3. Bull/Bear Signals:
Bear and Bull signals are where the momentum has changed enough based on your Purchase Speed and Strength. They generally represent strong price movement in the direction of the signal, and may be more reliable on higher TimeFrames. Please don’t use JUST these signals for analysis, they are only meant to be a fraction of the important data you are using to make your technical analysis.
4. Take Profit Signals:
Take Profit signals are guidelines that momentum has started to change back and now may be a good time to take profit. Your Take Profit signals are based on your Take Profit Speed and Strength and may be adjusted to fit your trading style.
5. Information Tables:
Information tables display very important data and help to declutter the screen as they are much less intrusive compared to labels. Our Information tables display: Boom Meter, Purchase Strength of Bull/Bear Zones and Yin/Yang State.
Boom Meter: Uses over 50 different calculations to determine if the pair is currently 'Dumping' (0-29%), 'Consolidating' (30-70%), or 'Pumping' (71-100%).
Bull / Bear Strength: Shows the strength of the current Bull / Bear signal from 0-100% (Signals start at 100% and change when they hit 0%). The % it moves up or down is based on your 'Purchase Strength'.
Yin / Yang state: Is one of the strongest EMA/SMA crosses (long term Oddball) within this Indicator and may be a great indication of which way the price is moving. Do keep in mind if the price is consolidating when changing state, it may have the highest chance of switching back also. Once momentum kicks in and there is price movement the state may be confirmed. Refer to other Cipher Symbols, Extremes, Trend, BOLL, Boom %, Bull / Bear % and Bar colors when Bull / Bear Zones are consolidating and Yin / Yang State changes as this is a very strong indecision zone.
6. Bull / Bear Zones:
Our Bull / Bear zones are composed of 8 very important EMA lengths that may act as not only Support and Resistance, but they help to potentially display consolidation and momentum change. You can tell when they are getting tight and close together it may represent consolidation and when they start to flip over on each other it may represent a change in momentum.
7. MA Extremes:
Our MA Extremes may be 3 of the most important long term moving averages. They don’t always play a role in trades as sometimes they’re way off from the price (cause they’re extreme lengths), but when they are around price or they cross under or over each other, it may represent large changes in price are about to occur. They may be very useful for seeing strong resistance / support locations based on price averages. Extremes may transition from a Support to a Resistance based on its position above or below them and how many times the price has either bounced up off them (Supporting) or Bounced back down after hitting them (Resistance).
8. Pivots:
Pivots may be a very important indicator of support and resistance for horizontal price movement. Pivots may represent the current strongest Support and Resistance. When the Pivot changes, it means a new strong Support or Resistance has been created. Sometimes you'll notice the price constantly pushes the pivot during a massive Pump or Dump. This is normal, and may indicate high levels of volatility. This generally also happens when the price is outside of the Bollinger Bands and is also Over or Undervalued. The price usually consolidates for a while after something like this happens before more drastic movement may occur.
9. Trend Lines:
Trend lines may be one of the best indicators of support and resistance for diagonal price movement. When a Trend Line fails to hold it may be a strong indication of a dump. Keep a close eye to where Upward and Downward Trend Lines meet. Trend lines can create different trading formations known as Pennants, Flags and Wedges. Please familiarize yourself with these formations So you know what to look for.
10. Bollinger Bands (BOLL):
Bollinger Bands may be very useful, and ours have been customized so they may be even more accurate by using a modified calculation that also incorporates volume.
Bollinger Bands may be used to see Movement vs Consolidation Zones (When it’s wide vs narrow). It also may be very useful for seeing where the correction areas are likely to be. Price may bounce between top and bottom of the BOLL, unless perhaps in a pump or dump. The Boom Meter may show you whether it is currently: Dumping, Consolidation or Pumping, along with Boom Meter Bar Colors, may be a good indication if it will break the BOLL. The Middle Line of the BOLL (White Line) may be a very strong support / resistance line. If the price closes above or below it, it may be a good indication of the trend changing (it may be one of the first stages to a pump or dump).
11. Boom Meter Bar Colors:
Boom Meter bar colors may be very useful for seeing when the bar is Overbought or Underbought. There are 6 different types of boom meter bar colors, they are:
Dark Green: RSI may be very Overbought and price going UP (May be in a big pump. NOTICE, chance of small dump correction if Cherry Red bar appears).
Light Green: RSI may be slightly Overbought and price going UP (chance of small pump).
Light Purple: RSI may be very Underbought and price going UP (May have chance of small correction).
Dark Red: RSI may be very Underbought and price going DOWN (May be in a big dump. NOTICE, chance of small pump correction if Light Purple bar appears).
Light Orange: RSI may be slightly Underbought and price going DOWN (chance of small dump).
Cherry Red: RSI may be very Overbought and price going DOWN (Chance of small correction).
12. True Value Zone:
True Value Zones display zones that represent ranges to show what the price may truly belong within. They may be very useful for knowing if the Price is currently not valued correctly, which generally means a correction may happen soon. True Value Zones can swap from Bullish to Bearish and are represented by Red for Bearish and Green for Bullish. For example, if the price is ABOVE and OUTSIDE of the True Value Zone, this means it may be very overvalued and might correct to go back inside the True Value Zone. This correction may be done by either dumping in price back into the zone, or consolidating horizontally back into it over a longer period of time. Vice Versa is also true if it is BELOW and OUTSIDE of the True Value Zone.
13. Bar Strength Index:
Bar Strength Index may display how Bullish/Bearish the current bar is. The strength is important to help see if a pump may be losing momentum or vice versa if a dump may correct. Keep in mind, the Bar Strength Index does a small 'refresh' to account for new bars. It may help to keep the Index more accurate.
14. Volume Profile:
Volume Profiles may be important to know where the Horizontal Support/Resistance is in Price base on Volume. Our Volume Profile may identify the point where the most volume has occurred within the most relevant timeframe. Volume Profiles are helpful at identifying where Whales have their orders placed. The reason why they are so helpful at identifying whales is when the volume is profiled to a specific area, there may likely be lots of Limit Buy and/or Sells around there. Limit Buys may act as Support and Limit Sells may act as Resistance. It may be very useful to know where these lie within the price, similar to looking at Order Book Data for Whale locations.
