Dynamic EMA Stack Support & ResistanceEvery trader needs reliable support and resistance — but static zones and lagging indicators won't cut it in fast-moving markets. This script combines a Fibonacci-based 5-EMA stacking system and left/right pivots that create dynamic support & resistance logic to uncover real-time structural shifts & momentum zones that actually adapt to price action. This isn’t just a mashup — it’s a complete built-from-the-ground-up support & resistance engine designed for scalpers, intraday traders, and trend followers alike.
🧠 🧠 🧠What It Does🧠 🧠 🧠
This script uses two powerful engines working in sync:
1️⃣ EMA Stack (5-EMA Framework)
Built on Fibonacci-based lengths: 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, (configurable) this stack identifies:
🔹 Bullish Stack: EMAs aligned from fastest to slowest (uptrend confirmation)
🔹 Bearish Stack: EMAs aligned inversely (downtrend confirmation)
🟡 Narrowing Zones: When EMAs compress within ATR thresholds → possible breakout or reversal zone
🎯 Labels identify key transitions like:
✅"Begin Bear Trend?"
✅"Uptrend SPRT"
✅"RES?" (resistance test)
2️⃣ Pivot-Based Projection Engine
Using classic Left/Right Bar pivot logic, the script:
📌 Detects early-stage swing highs/lows before full confirmation
📈 Projects horizontal S/R lines that adapt to market structure
🔁 Keeps lines active until a new pivot replaces them
🧩 Syncs beautifully with EMA stack for confluence zones
🎯🎯🎯Key Features for Traders🎯🎯🎯
✅ Trend Detection
→ EMA order reveals real-time bias (bullish, bearish, compression)
✅ Dynamic S/R Zones
→ Historical support/resistance levels auto-draw and extend
✅ Smart Labeling
→ “SPRT”, “RES”, and “Trend?” labels for live context + testing logic
✅ Custom Candle Coloring
→ Choose from Bar Color or Full Candle Overlay modes
✅ Scalper & Swing Compatible
→ Use fast confirmations for scalping or stack consistency for longer trends
⚙️⚙️⚙️How to Use⚙️⚙️⚙️
✅Use Top/Bottom (trend state) Line Colors to quickly read trend conditions.
✅Use Pivot-based support/resistance projections to anticipate where price might pause or reverse.
✅Watch for yellow/blue zones to prepare for volatility shifts/reversals.
✅Combine with volume or momentum indicators for added confirmation.
📐📐📐Customization Options📐📐📐
✅EMA lengths (5, 8, 13, 21, 34) — fully configurable - try 21,34,55, 89, 144 for longer term trend states
✅Left/Right bar pivot settings (default: 21/5)
✅Label size, visibility, and color themes
✅Toggle line and label visibility for clean layouts
✅“Max Bars Back” to control how deep history is scanned safely
🛠🛠🛠Built-In Safeguards🛠🛠🛠
✅ATR-based filters to stabilize compression logic
✅Guarded lookback (max_bars_back) to avoid runtime errors
✅Works on any asset, any timeframe
🏁🏁🏁Final Word🏁🏁🏁
This script is not just a visual tool, it’s a complete trend and structure framework. Whether you're looking for clean trend alignment, dynamic support/resistance, or early warning labels, this system is tuned to help you react with confidence — not hindsight.
Rembember, no single indicator should be used in isolation. For best results, combine it with price action analysis, higher-timeframe context, and complementary tools like trendlines, moving averages etc Use it as part of a well-rounded trading approach to confirm setups — not to define them alone.
💡💡💡Turn logic into clarity. Structure into trades. And uncertainty into confidence.💡💡💡
oi + funding oscillator cryptosmartThe oi + funding oscillator cryptosmart is an advanced momentum tool designed to gauge sentiment in the crypto derivatives market. It combines Open Interest (OI) changes with Funding Rates, normalizes them into a single oscillator using a z-score, and identifies potential market extremes.
This provides traders with a powerful visual guide to spot when the market is over-leveraged (overheated) or when a significant deleveraging event has occurred (oversold), signaling potential reversals.
How It Works
Combined Data: The indicator tracks the rate of change in Open Interest and the value of Funding Rates.
Oscillator: It blends these two data points into a single, smoothed oscillator line that moves above and below a zero line.
Extreme Zones:
Overheated (Red Zone): When the oscillator enters the upper critical zone, it suggests excessive greed and high leverage, increasing the risk of a sharp correction (long squeeze). A cross below this level generates a potential sell signal.
Oversold (Green Zone): When the oscillator enters the lower critical zone, it indicates panic, liquidations, and a potential market bottom. A cross above this level generates a potential buy signal.
Trading Strategy & Timeframes
This oscillator is designed to be versatile, but its effectiveness can vary depending on the timeframe.
Optimal Timeframes (1H and 4H): The indicator has shown its highest effectiveness on the 1-hour and 4-hour charts. These timeframes are ideal for capturing significant shifts in market sentiment reflected in OI and funding data, filtering out short-term noise while still providing timely reversal signals.
Lower Timeframes (e.g., 1-min, 5-min, 15-min): On shorter timeframes, the oscillator is still a highly effective tool, but it is best used as a confluence factor within a broader trading system. Due to the increased noise on these charts, it is not recommended to use its signals in isolation. Instead, use it as a final argument for entry. For example, if your primary scalping strategy gives you a buy signal, you can check if the oscillator is also exiting the oversold (green) zone to add a powerful layer of confirmation to your trade.
Heikin FlowHeikin Flow
by Ben Deharde, 2025
Overview
Heikin Flow is a trend and momentum oscillator built on a smoothed reverse-Heikin-Ashi baseline. It quantifies the distance between price and this baseline, then colors the histogram to reflect both direction and acceleration/deceleration. Use it standalone to read trend energy and shifts, or pair it with Heikin Rider for momentum-aware breakout confirmation.
What It Does
Computes a reverse-HA baseline and optionally smooths it with a selectable MA.
Plots a histogram of distance (price minus baseline) to visualize directional pressure.
Colors the histogram by trend state (above/below baseline) and momentum (accelerating vs. decelerating).
Provides alerts on zero-line crosses to spotlight potential momentum regime changes.
The histogram also helps to spot divergence between price and momentum (e.g., price making new highs while the histogram weakens).
How It Works
Reverse-HA Baseline
Heikin Flow derives a “reverse close” value from Heikin Ashi context (using prior HA open/close with current bar range) to capture underlying pressure. This value is range-bounded to avoid extremes, then optionally smoothed. The resulting line acts as a soft directional baseline.
Smoothing (Noise Control)
Choose SMA/EMA/HMA/VWMA/RMA and a length to control baseline responsiveness. Shorter lengths react faster, longer lengths emphasize trend consistency by filtering noise—useful when pairing with breakout tools like Rider.
Trend & Momentum Logic
Trend: If price is above the baseline, the environment is considered uptrend; below indicates downtrend.
Momentum: The change in distance bar-to-bar distinguishes acceleration (growing distance) from deceleration (shrinking distance).
This dual readout helps you see not just direction, but the quality of that direction—strong push vs. weakening move.
Coloring (Aligned with Heikin Rider Palette)
Deep Blue: Uptrend & accelerating
Light Blue: Uptrend & decelerating
Deep Red: Downtrend & accelerating
Soft Orange: Downtrend & decelerating
This mirrors the palette logic from Heikin Rider for immediate visual consistency across the suite.
How to use
Read the histogram above/below zero (price–baseline) as directional bias; watch color changes for momentum context.
Use zero-line crosses as momentum regime shifts; confirm with price action or Heikin Rider breakout signals.
Watch for divergence between price action and the histogram as an early clue of weakening moves.
Adjust smoothing method/length to fit your market and timeframe—faster for scalping, slower to highlight sustained trends.
Inputs
Smoothing Type & Length for the baseline (SMA/EMA/HMA/VWMA/RMA)
Info Box toggles (display and formatting)
Live Mode option for real-time vs. confirmed-bar behavior (avoids inadvertent lookahead)
Originality
Heikin Flow adapts the HA-driven methodology to an oscillator that focuses on distance-to-baseline and momentum quality, using a reverse-HA construction and flexible MA smoothing—complementing Heikin Rider’s smoothed HA envelope breakout design for a cohesive, momentum-aware workflow.
Alerts
Bullish Heikin Flow Cross — distance crosses above 0 (on bar close)
Bearish Heikin Flow Cross — distance crosses below 0 (on bar close)
CCI Stochastic - YOSI
CCI Stochastic (Pro v6) – MTF, Adaptive Bands & Live Label
What it does
This indicator applies a Stochastic calculation on the CCI (K/D lines) to highlight momentum shifts, overbought/oversold zones, and adaptive market regimes. It comes with optional higher-timeframe confirmation, adaptive volatility bands, a live value label, and built-in alerts.
Key Features
Core Signal: Choose between D or K line of the Stoch-CCI.
Extreme Zones: Customizable OB/OS thresholds (default 80/20) and a midline (50), with dynamic background shading.
Adaptive Bands (optional): Mean ± k·standard deviation of the signal, to capture cyclic extremes.
MTF Confirmation (optional): Fetches the same signal from a higher timeframe via request.security.
Arrows/Signals:
Enter – Cross above OS (Buy) / below OB (Sell).
Center – Cross of the 50 midline (momentum shift).
Exit – Exit from extreme zones.
Alerts: All arrow signals + adaptive band crosses.
Live Value Label: Shows the latest signal value near the last bar, customizable decimals/offset/background colors.
Visuals: Red line above OB, green below OS, gray neutral; adaptive band fills.
Use Cases
Momentum / Reversals: Enter with OS/OB crosses confirmed by MTF.
Trend validation: Combine with moving averages (e.g., EMA200) or support/resistance.
Mean Reversion: Fade extreme zones, especially with adaptive band or OB/OS exit alerts.
Inputs
CCI Period, Stoch Period, Smooth K/D – core calculation.
Overbought / Oversold – thresholds (default 80/20).
Line to plot – K or D.
Show Arrows (Enter, Center, Exit) – visual control.
Adaptive Bands – length and k multiplier.
Higher TF – optional confirmation timeframe.
Live Label – decimals, offset, colors.
Quick Tips
For scalping/short-term setups: tighten OB/OS (e.g., 85/15) to filter noise.
In high volatility: increase adaptLen or decrease k to smooth bands.
Reduce false signals: require local + MTF alignment (e.g., only long if MTF > 50).
Disclaimer
This is a technical analysis tool – not a standalone buy/sell signal. Always use with proper risk management, key levels, and confluence from multiple factors.

Iani SMC Sniper XAU v2.2 (Long+Short + News Countdown, v6)Iani SMC Sniper XAU (v2.2) — smart-money logic for XAUUSD.
This indicator hunts “sniper entries” using a simple SMC sequence:
Sweep → BOS → 50% FVG entry
• After London session builds its range, we wait for a liquidity sweep (price dips below London Low for longs / wicks above London High for shorts).
• A BOS confirms direction (close breaks the last swing).
• First FVG that prints after BOS gives the entry at 50% (mid-gap).
• SL anchored to the protective swing (with a small safety buffer). TP is plotted using your Risk:Reward.
News countdown (non-blocking):
The script does not auto-fetch news; you set daily times (e.g., 14:30, 16:00) and/or specific dates (“YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM”). A countdown label shows “NEWS in Xm”. Signals are not blocked—this is just a safety heads-up for prop-firm rules.
Inputs: pivot length, RR, pip size (XAU default 0.10), session filter (after London), news times (recurring & absolute), show/hide levels & labels.
Plots & labels: London High/Low (daily), Entry/SL/TP lines, BOS/Sweep/BUY/SELL markers, news badge.
Alerts: BOS Bull/Bear, BUY/SELL Entry touch, TP/SL hit, NEWS WARNING.
Notes:
• Designed for XAUUSD intraday; works on other symbols if you adjust pip size.
• Uses symbol timezone; adjust your news times for DST if needed.
• Indicator only—no orders, no backtest. Manage risk and execution in MT5/your platform.
Changelog (v2.2): Pine v6, robust time parsing, one-line logical expressions (fixed EOL errors), mirrored short logic, cleaner London H/L reset, countdown label.
Disclaimer: Educational tool, not financial advice. Past performance ≠ future results.

Multiple Colored Moving AveragesMULTIPLE COLORED MOVING AVERAGES - USER GUIDE
DISCLAIMER
----------
Both the code and this documentation were created heavily using artificial intelligence. I'm lazy...
This indicator was inspired by repo32's "Moving Average Colored EMA/SMA" indicator. *
What is this indicator?
-----------------------
This is a TradingView indicator that displays up to 4 different moving averages on your chart simultaneously. Each moving average can be customized with different calculation methods, colors, and filtering options.
Why would I use multiple moving averages?
-----------------------------------------
- See trend direction across different timeframes at once
- Identify support and resistance levels
- Spot crossover signals between fast and slow MAs
- Reduce false signals with filtering options
- Compare how different MA types react to price action
What moving average types are available?
----------------------------------------
11 different types:
- SMA: Simple average, equal weight to all periods
- EMA: Exponential, more weight to recent prices
- WMA: Weighted, linear weighting toward recent data
- RMA: Running average, smooth like EMA
- DEMA: Double exponential, reduced lag
- TEMA: Triple exponential, even less lag
- HMA: Hull, fast and smooth combination
- VWMA: Volume weighted, includes volume data
- LSMA: Least squares, based on linear regression
- TMA: Triangular, double-smoothed
- ZLEMA: Zero lag exponential, compensated for lag
How do I set up the indicator?
------------------------------
Each MA has these settings:
- Enable/Disable: Turn each MA on or off
- Type: Choose from the 11 calculation methods
- Length: Number of periods (21, 50, 100, 200 are common)
- Smoothing: 0-10 levels of extra smoothing
- Noise Filter: 0-5% to ignore small changes
- Colors: Bullish (rising) and bearish (falling) colors
- Line Width: 1-5 pixels thickness
What does the smoothing feature do?
-----------------------------------
Smoothing applies extra calculations to make the moving average line smoother. Higher levels reduce noise but make the MA respond slower to price changes. Use higher smoothing in choppy markets, lower smoothing in trending markets.
What is the noise filter?
--------------------------
The noise filter ignores small percentage changes in the moving average. For example, a 0.3% filter will ignore any MA movement smaller than 0.3%. This helps eliminate false signals from minor price fluctuations.
When should I use this indicator?
---------------------------------
- Trend analysis: See if market is going up, down, or sideways
- Entry timing: Look for price bounces off MA levels
- Exit signals: Watch for MA slope changes or crossovers
- Support/resistance: MAs often act as dynamic levels
- Multi-timeframe analysis: Use different lengths for different perspectives
What are some good settings to start with?
-------------------------------------------
Conservative approach:
- MA 1: EMA 21 (short-term trend)
- MA 2: SMA 50 (medium-term trend)
- MA 3: SMA 200 (long-term trend)
- Low noise filtering (0.1-0.3%)
Active trading:
- MA 1: HMA 9 (very responsive)
- MA 2: EMA 21 (short-term)
- MA 3: EMA 50 (medium-term)
- Minimal or no smoothing
How do I interpret the colors?
------------------------------
Each MA changes color based on its direction:
- Bullish color: MA is rising (upward trend)
- Bearish color: MA is falling (downward trend)
- Gray: MA is flat or unchanged
What should I look for in crossovers?
-------------------------------------
- Golden Cross: Fast MA crosses above slow MA (bullish signal)
- Death Cross: Fast MA crosses below slow MA (bearish signal)
- Multiple crossovers in same direction can confirm trend changes
- Wait for clear separation between MAs after crossover
How do I use MAs for support and resistance?
---------------------------------------------
- In uptrends: MAs often provide support when price pulls back
- In downtrends: MAs may act as resistance on rallies
- Multiple MAs create support/resistance zones
- Stronger levels where multiple MAs cluster together
Can I use this with other indicators?
-------------------------------------
Yes, it works well with:
- Volume indicators for confirmation
- RSI or MACD for timing entries
- Bollinger Bands for volatility context
- Price action patterns for setup confirmation
What if I get too many signals?
-------------------------------
- Increase smoothing levels
- Raise noise filter percentages
- Use longer MA periods
- Focus on major crossovers only
- Wait for multiple MA confirmation
What if signals are too slow?
-----------------------------
- Reduce smoothing to 0
- Lower noise filter values
- Switch to faster MA types (HMA, ZLEMA, DEMA)
- Use shorter periods
- Focus on the fastest MA only
Which MA types work best in different markets?
----------------------------------------------
Trending markets: EMA, DEMA, TEMA (responsive to trends)
Choppy markets: SMA, TMA, HMA with smoothing (less whipsaws)
High volatility: Use higher smoothing and noise filtering
Low volatility: Use minimal filtering for better responsiveness
Do I need all the advanced features?
------------------------------------
No. Start with basic settings:
- Choose MA type and length
- Set colors you prefer
- Leave smoothing at 0
- Leave noise filter at 0
Add complexity only if needed to improve signal quality.
How do I know if my settings are working?
-----------------------------------------
- Backtest on historical data
- Paper trade the signals first
- Adjust based on market conditions
- Keep a trading journal to track performance
- Be willing to modify settings as markets change
Can I save different configurations?
------------------------------------
Yes, save different indicator templates in TradingView for:
- Different trading styles (scalping, swing trading)
- Different market conditions (trending, ranging)
- Different instruments (stocks, forex, crypto)
Market Order Risk CalculatorObviously the Long/Short Position tool does this, but when you are scalping, 10 - 15 seconds matters. What matters more than that is defined risk, you dont want your losses being scattered, 300 here 145 there, you want consistent risk to have consistent data.
What this does is when you are framing a trade, it provides a hands off tool that tells you exactly how many contracts to enter with, that way if you have bracket orders on, your stop will be exactly where you want it to be without going over your defined risk.
Information Flow Analysis[b🔄 Information Flow Analysis: Systematic Multi-Component Market Analysis Framework
SYSTEM OVERVIEW AND ANALYTICAL FOUNDATION
The Information Flow Kernel - Hybrid combines established technical analysis methods into a unified analytical framework. This indicator systematically processes three distinct data streams - directional price momentum, volume-weighted pressure dynamics, and intrabar development patterns - integrating them through weighted mathematical fusion to produce statistically normalized market flow measurements.
COMPREHENSIVE MATHEMATICAL FRAMEWORK
Component 1: Directional Flow Analysis
The directional component analyzes price momentum through three mathematical vectors:
Price Vector: p = C - O (intrabar directional bias)
Momentum Vector: m = C_t - C_{t-1} (bar-to-bar velocity)
Acceleration Vector: a = m_t - m_{t-1} (momentum rate of change)
Directional Signal Integration:
S_d = \text{sgn}(p) \cdot |p| + \text{sgn}(m) \cdot |m| \cdot 0.6 + \text{sgn}(a) \cdot |a| \cdot 0.3
The signum function preserves directional information while absolute values provide magnitude weighting. Coefficients create a hierarchy emphasizing intrabar movement (100%), momentum (60%), and acceleration (30%).
Final Directional Output: K_1 = S_d \cdot w_d where w_d is the directional weight parameter.
Component 2: Volume-Weighted Pressure Analysis
Volume Normalization: r_v = \frac{V_t}{\overline{V_n}} where \overline{V_n} represents the n-period simple moving average of volume.
Base Pressure Calculation: P_{base} = \Delta C \cdot r_v \cdot w_v where \Delta C = C_t - C_{t-1} and w_v is the velocity weighting factor.
Volume Confirmation Function:
f(r_v) = \begin{cases}
1.4 & \text{if } r_v > 1.2 \
0.7 & \text{if } r_v < 0.8 \
1.0 & \text{otherwise}
\end{cases}
Final Pressure Output: K_2 = P_{base} \cdot f(r_v)
Component 3: Intrabar Development Analysis
Bar Position Calculation: B = \frac{C - L}{H - L} when H - L > 0 , else B = 0.5
Development Signal Function:
S_{dev} = \begin{cases}
2(B - 0.5) & \text{if } B > 0.6 \text{ or } B < 0.4 \
0 & \text{if } 0.4 \leq B \leq 0.6
\end{cases}
Final Development Output: K_3 = S_{dev} \cdot 0.4
Master Integration and Statistical Normalization
Weighted Component Fusion: F_{raw} = 0.5K_1 + 0.35K_2 + 0.15K_3
Sensitivity Scaling: F_{master} = F_{raw} \cdot s where s is the sensitivity parameter.
Statistical Normalization Process:
Rolling Mean: \mu_F = \frac{1}{n}\sum_{i=0}^{n-1} F_{master,t-i}
Rolling Standard Deviation: \sigma_F = \sqrt{\frac{1}{n}\sum_{i=0}^{n-1} (F_{master,t-i} - \mu_F)^2}
Z-Score Computation: z = \frac{F_{master} - \mu_F}{\sigma_F}
Boundary Enforcement: z_{bounded} = \max(-3, \min(3, z))
Final Normalization: N = \frac{z_{bounded}}{3}
Flow Metrics Calculation:
Intensity: I = |z|
Strength Percentage: S = \min(100, I \times 33.33)
Extreme Detection: \text{Extreme} = I > 2.0
DETAILED INPUT PARAMETER SPECIFICATIONS
Sensitivity (0.1 - 3.0, Default: 1.0)
Global amplification multiplier applied to the master flow calculation. Functions as: F_{master} = F_{raw} \cdot s
Low Settings (0.1 - 0.5): Enhanced precision for subtle market movements. Optimal for low-volatility environments, scalping strategies, and early detection of minor directional shifts. Increases responsiveness but may amplify noise.
Moderate Settings (0.6 - 1.2): Balanced sensitivity for standard market conditions across multiple timeframes.
High Settings (1.3 - 3.0): Reduced sensitivity to minor fluctuations while emphasizing significant flow changes. Ideal for high-volatility assets, trending markets, and longer timeframes.
Directional Weighting (0.1 - 1.0, Default: 0.7)
Controls emphasis on price direction versus volume and positioning factors. Applied as: K_{1,weighted} = K_1 \times w_d
Lower Values (0.1 - 0.4): Reduces directional bias, favoring volume-confirmed moves. Optimal for ranging markets where momentum may generate false signals.
Higher Values (0.7 - 1.0): Amplifies directional signals from price vectors and acceleration. Ideal for trending conditions where directional momentum drives price action.
Velocity Weighting (0.1 - 1.0, Default: 0.6)
Scales volume-confirmed price change impact. Applied in: P_{base} = \Delta C \times r_v \times w_v
Lower Values (0.1 - 0.4): Dampens volume spike influence, focusing on sustained pressure patterns. Suitable for illiquid assets or news-sensitive markets.
Higher Values (0.8 - 1.0): Amplifies high-volume directional moves. Optimal for liquid markets where volume provides reliable confirmation.
Volume Length (3 - 20, Default: 5)
Defines lookback period for volume averaging: \overline{V_n} = \frac{1}{n}\sum_{i=0}^{n-1} V_{t-i}
Short Periods (3 - 7): Responsive to recent volume shifts, excellent for intraday analysis.
Long Periods (13 - 20): Smoother averaging, better for swing trading and higher timeframes.

PRACTICAL APPLICATION FRAMEWORK
Market State Classification
This indicator functions as a comprehensive market condition assessment tool providing:
Trend Analysis: High intensity readings ( S > 66% ) with sustained directional bias indicate strong trending conditions suitable for momentum strategies.
Reversal Detection: Extreme readings ( I > 2.0 ) at key technical levels may signal potential trend exhaustion or reversal points.
Range Identification: Low intensity with neutral flow ( S < 33%, |N| < 0.3 ) suggests ranging market conditions suitable for mean reversion strategies.
Volatility Assessment: High intensity without clear directional bias indicates elevated volatility with conflicting pressures.
Integration with Trading Systems
The normalized output range facilitates integration with automated trading systems and position sizing algorithms. The statistical basis provides consistent interpretation across different market conditions and asset classes.
LIMITATIONS AND CONSIDERATIONS
This indicator combines established technical analysis methods and processes historical data without predicting future price movements. The system performs optimally in liquid markets with consistent volume patterns and may produce false signals in thin trading conditions or during news-driven market events. This indicator is provided for educational and analytical purposes only and does not constitute financial advice. Users should combine this analysis with proper risk management, position sizing, and additional confirmation methods before making any trading decisions. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
Note: The term "kernel" in this context refers to modular calculation components rather than mathematical kernel functions in the formal computational sense.
As quantitative analyst Ralph Vince noted: "The essence of successful trading lies not in predicting market direction, but in the systematic processing of market information and the disciplined management of probability distributions."

## ⚠️ Critical Success Factors
1. Always Verify the Trend Yourself
The indicator helps identify signals, but YOU must confirm the larger trend context. Check higher timeframes and overall market structure before entering.
2. Understand the "Big Players"
Strong candles in trend direction usually come from institutional money (banks, funds, algorithms). These create the momentum that retail traders can follow. The indicator catches these institutional moves.
3. Distance to Next Value Level
NEVER enter if price is too close to major resistance/support levels:
- Check distance to round numbers (1.1000, 1.1050, etc.)
- Ensure at least 20-30 pips room to next key level
- You need space for profit - tight levels = limited upside
4. Risk Management
- Stop Loss: 1-2 ATR from entry
- Take Profit: 2-3 ATR target (minimum 1:2 R/R)
- Position Size: Risk max 1-2% per trade
## 💡 Pro Tips
- Best Sessions: London open (8-12 UTC) and NY open (13-17 UTC)
- Avoid: Major news, low liquidity periods, choppy markets
- Multiple Timeframes: Confirm signals on higher timeframe
- Value Levels: Always check daily/weekly support/resistance before entering
## 🎯 Success Formula
Trend Confirmation + Strong Institutional Candle + Distance to Value Levels = High Probability Trade
*
Remember: The indicator finds the signals, but successful trading requires your analysis of trend context and value level positioning. Trade smart, not just frequent.
RSI Trend Navigator [QuantAlgo]🟢 Overview
The RSI Trend Navigator integrates RSI momentum calculations with adaptive exponential moving averages and ATR-based volatility bands to generate trend-following signals. The indicator applies variable smoothing coefficients based on RSI readings and incorporates normalized momentum adjustments to position a trend line that responds to both price action and underlying momentum conditions.
🟢 How It Works
The indicator begins by calculating and smoothing the RSI to reduce short-term fluctuations while preserving momentum information:
rsiValue = ta.rsi(source, rsiPeriod)
smoothedRSI = ta.ema(rsiValue, rsiSmoothing)
normalizedRSI = (smoothedRSI - 50) / 50
It then creates an adaptive smoothing coefficient that varies based on RSI positioning relative to the midpoint:
adaptiveAlpha = smoothedRSI > 50 ? 2.0 / (trendPeriod * 0.5 + 1) : 2.0 / (trendPeriod * 1.5 + 1)
This coefficient drives an adaptive trend calculation that responds more quickly when RSI indicates bullish momentum and more slowly during bearish conditions:
var float adaptiveTrend = source
adaptiveTrend := adaptiveAlpha * source + (1 - adaptiveAlpha) * nz(adaptiveTrend , source)
The normalized RSI values are converted into price-based adjustments using ATR for volatility scaling:
rsiAdjustment = normalizedRSI * ta.atr(14) * sensitivity
rsiTrendValue = adaptiveTrend + rsiAdjustment
ATR-based bands are constructed around this RSI-adjusted trend value to create dynamic boundaries that constrain trend line positioning:
atr = ta.atr(atrPeriod)
deviation = atr * atrMultiplier
upperBound = rsiTrendValue + deviation
lowerBound = rsiTrendValue - deviation
The trend line positioning uses these band constraints to determine its final value:
if upperBound < trendLine
trendLine := upperBound
if lowerBound > trendLine
trendLine := lowerBound
Signal generation occurs through directional comparison of the trend line against its previous value to establish bullish and bearish states:
trendUp = trendLine > trendLine
trendDown = trendLine < trendLine
if trendUp
isBullish := true
isBearish := false
else if trendDown
isBullish := false
isBearish := true
The final output colors the trend line green during bullish states and red during bearish states, creating visual buy/long and sell/short opportunity signals based on the combined RSI momentum and volatility-adjusted trend positioning.
🟢 Signal Interpretation
Rising Trend Line (Green): Indicates upward momentum where RSI influence and adaptive smoothing favor continued price advancement = Potential buy/long positions
Declining Trend Line (Red): Indicates downward momentum where RSI influence and adaptive smoothing favor continued price decline = Potential sell/short positions
Flattening Trend Lines: Occur when momentum weakens and the trend line slope approaches neutral, suggesting potential consolidation before the next move
Built-in Alert System: Automated notifications trigger when bullish or bearish states change, sending "RSI Trend Bullish Signal" or "RSI Trend Bearish Signal" messages for timely entry/exit
Color Bar Candles Option: Optional candle coloring feature that applies the same green/red trend colors to price bars, providing additional visual confirmation of the current trend direction
Key Levels: Daily, Weekly, Monthly [BackQuant]Key Levels: Daily, Weekly, Monthly
Map the market’s “memory” in one glance—yesterday’s range, this week’s chosen day high/low, and D/W/M opens—then auto-clean levels once they break.
What it does
This tool plots three families of high-signal reference lines and keeps them tidy as price evolves:
Chosen Day High/Low (per week) — Pick a weekday (e.g., Monday). For each past week, the script records that day’s session high and low and projects them forward for a configurable number of bars. These act like “memory levels” that price often revisits.
Daily / Weekly / Monthly Opens — Plots the opening price of each new day, week, and month with separate styling. These opens frequently behave like magnets/flip lines intraday and anchors for regime on higher timeframes.
Auto-pruning — When price breaks a stored level, the script can automatically remove it to reduce clutter and refocus you on still-active lines. See: (broken levels removed).
Why these levels matter
Liquidity pockets — Prior day’s high/low and the daily open concentrate stops and pending orders. Mapping them quickly reveals likely sweep or fade zones. Example: previous day highs + daily open highlighting liquidity:
Context & regime — Monthly opens frame macro bias; trading above a rising cluster of monthly opens vs. below gives a clean top-down read. Example: monthly-only “macro outlook” view:
Cleaner charts — Auto-remove broken lines so you focus on what still matters right now.
What it plots (at a glance)
Past Chosen Day High/Low for up to N prior weeks (your choice), extended right.
Current Daily Open , Weekly Open , and Monthly Open , each with its own color, label, and forward extension.
Optional short labels (e.g., “Mon High”) or full labels (with week/month info).
How breaks are detected & cleaned
You control both the evidence and the timing of a “break”:
Break uses — Choose Close (more conservative) or Wick (more sensitive).
Inclusive? — If enabled, equality counts (≥ high or ≤ low). If disabled, you need a strict cross.
Allow intraday breaks? — If on, a level can break during the tracked day; if off, the script only counts breaks after the session completes.
Remove Broken Levels — When a break is confirmed, the line/label is deleted automatically. (See the demo: )
Quick start
Pick a Day of Week to Track (e.g., Monday).
Set how many weeks back to show (e.g., 8–10).
Choose how far to extend each family (bars to the right for chosen-day H/L and D/W/M opens).
Decide if a break uses Close or Wick , and whether equality counts.
Toggle Remove Broken Levels to keep the chart clean automatically.
Tips by use-case
Intraday bias — Watch the Daily Open as a magnet/flip. If price gaps above and holds, pullbacks to the daily open often decide direction. Pair with last day’s high/low for sweep→reversal or true breakout cues. See:
Weekly structure — Track the week’s chosen day (e.g., Monday) high/low across prior weeks. If price stalls near a cluster of old “Monday Highs,” look for sweep/reject patterns or continuation on reclaim.
Macro regime — Hide daily/weekly lines and keep only Monthly Opens to read bigger cycles at a glance (BTC/crypto especially). Example:
Customization
Use wicks or bodies for highs/lows (wicks capture extremes; bodies are stricter).
Line style & thickness — solid/dashed/dotted, width 1–5, plus global transparency.
Labels — Abbreviated (“Mon High”, “D Open”) or full (month/week/day info).
Color scheme — Separate colors for highs, lows, and each of D/W/M opens.
Capacity controls — Set how many daily/weekly/monthly opens and how many weeks of chosen-day H/L to keep visible.
What’s under the hood
On your selected weekday, the script records that session’s true high and true low (using wicks or body-based extremes—your choice), then projects a horizontal line forward for the next bars.
At each new day/week/month , it records the opening price and projects that line forward as well.
Each bar, the script checks your “break” rules; once broken, lines/labels are removed if auto-cleaning is on.
Everything updates in real time; past levels don’t repaint after the session finishes.
Recommended presets
Day trading — Weeks back: 6–10; extend D/W opens: 50–100 bars; Break uses: Close ; Inclusive: off; Auto-remove: on.
Swing — Fewer daily opens, more weekly opens (2–6), and 8–12 weeks of chosen-day H/L.
Macro — Show only Monthly Opens (1–6 months), dashed style, thicker lines for clarity.
Reading the examples
Broken lines disappear — decluttering in action:
Macro outlook — monthly opens as cycle rails:
Liquidity map — previous day highs + daily open:
Final note
These are not “signals”—they’re reference points that many participants watch. By standardising how you draw them and automatically clearing the ones that no longer matter, you turn a noisy chart into a focused map: where liquidity likely sits, where price memory lives, and which lines are still in play.

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

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

Quantile Regression Bands [BackQuant]Quantile Regression Bands
Tail-aware trend channeling built from quantiles of real errors, not just standard deviations.
What it does
This indicator fits a simple linear trend over a rolling lookback and then measures how price has actually deviated from that trend during the window. It then places two pairs of bands at user-chosen quantiles of those deviations (inner and outer). Because bands are based on empirical quantiles rather than a symmetric standard deviation, they adapt to skewed and fat-tailed behaviour and often hug price better in trending or asymmetric markets.
Why “quantile” bands instead of Bollinger-style bands?
Bollinger Bands assume a (roughly) symmetric spread around the mean; quantiles don’t—upper and lower bands can sit at different distances if the error distribution is skewed.
Quantiles are robust to outliers; a single shock won’t inflate the bands for many bars.
You can choose tails precisely (e.g., 1%/99% or 5%/95%) to match your risk appetite.
How it works (intuitive)
Center line — a rolling linear regression approximates the local trend.
Residuals — for each bar in the lookback, the indicator looks at the gap between actual price and where the line “expected” price to be.
Quantiles — those gaps are sorted; you select which percentiles become your inner/outer offsets.
Bands — the chosen quantile offsets are added to the current end of the regression line to draw parallel support/resistance rails.
Smoothing — a light EMA can be applied to reduce jitter in the line and bands.
What you see
Center (linear regression) line (optional).
Inner quantile bands (e.g., 25th/75th) with optional translucent fill.
Outer quantile bands (e.g., 1st/99th) with a multi-step gradient to visualise “tail zones.”
Optional bar coloring: bars trend-colored by whether price is rising above or falling below the center line.
Alerts when price crosses the outer bands (upper or lower).
How to read it
Trend & drift — the slope of the center line is your local trend. Persistent closes on the same side of the center line indicate directional drift.
Pullbacks — tags of the inner band often mark routine pullbacks within trend. Reaction back to the center line can be used for continuation entries/partials.
Tails & squeezes — outer-band touches highlight statistically rare excursions for the chosen window. Frequent outer-band activity can signal regime change or volatility expansion.
Asymmetry — if the upper band sits much further from the center than the lower (or vice versa), recent behaviour has been skewed. Trade management can be adjusted accordingly (e.g., wider take-profit upslope than downslope).
A simple trend interpretation can be derived from the bar colouring
Good use-cases
Volatility-aware mean reversion — fade moves into outer bands back toward the center when trend is flat.
Trend participation — buy pullbacks to the inner band above a rising center; flip logic for shorts below a falling center.
Risk framing — set dynamic stops/targets at quantile rails so position sizing respects recent tail behaviour rather than fixed ticks.
Inputs (quick guide)
Source — price input used for the fit (default: close).
Lookback Length — bars in the regression window and residual sample. Longer = smoother, slower bands; shorter = tighter, more reactive.
Inner/Outer Quantiles (τ) — choose your “typical” vs “tail” levels (e.g., 0.25/0.75 inner, 0.01/0.99 outer).
Show toggles — independently toggle center line, inner bands, outer bands, and their fills.
Colors & transparency — customize band and fill appearance; gradient shading highlights the tail zone.
Band Smoothing Length — small EMA on lines to reduce stair-step artefacts without meaningfully changing levels.
Bar Coloring — optional trend tint from the center line’s momentum.
Practical settings
Swing trading — Length 75–150; inner τ = 0.25/0.75, outer τ = 0.05/0.95.
Intraday — Length 50–100 for liquid futures/FX; consider 0.20/0.80 inner and 0.02/0.98 outer in high-vol assets.
Crypto — Because of fat tails, try slightly wider outers (0.01/0.99) and keep smoothing at 2–4 to tame weekend jumps.
Signal ideas
Continuation — in an uptrend, look for pullback into the lower inner band with a close back above the center as a timing cue.
Exhaustion probe — in ranges, first touch of an outer band followed by a rejection candle back inside the inner band often precedes mean-reversion swings.
Regime shift — repeated closes beyond an outer band or a sharp re-tilt in the center line can mark a new trend phase; adjust tactics (stop-following along the opposite inner band).
Alerts included
“Price Crosses Upper Outer Band” — potential overextension or breakout risk.
“Price Crosses Lower Outer Band” — potential capitulation or breakdown risk.
Notes
The fit and quantiles are computed on a fixed rolling window and do not repaint; bands update as the window moves forward.
Quantiles are based on the recent distribution; if conditions change abruptly, expect band widths and skew to adapt over the next few bars.
Parameter choices directly shape behaviour: longer windows favour stability, tighter inner quantiles increase touch frequency, and extreme outer quantiles highlight only the rarest moves.
Final thought
Quantile bands answer a simple question: “How unusual is this move given the current trend and the way price has been missing it lately?” By scoring that question with real, distribution-aware limits rather than one-size-fits-all volatility you get cleaner pullback zones in trends, more honest “extreme” tags in ranges, and a framework for risk that matches the market’s recent personality.
