NYSE Volume UP FLOW VS Down FLOW ULTIMATE VOLDNYSE Volume UP FLOW VS Down FLOW ULTIMATE StokedStocks
BASED OFF THE VOLD INDEX
The VOLD (also $VOLD) is the difference between the up volume and down volume on the NYSE. i.e. NYSE $UVOL minus $DVOL; the net up volume.
If you consider that VOLD is the net value between UVOL (up volume) and DVOL (down volume) then you need to understand these two to understand VOLD.
UVOL or DVOL are a total of the volume on all stocks that are up or down in price. Up or down is based on the previous session's closing price. The size of the stock's price change is irrelevant.
If the stock is up only $.01, then its volume is grouped into the UVOL total. If that stock's price then drops by $.02 it will be down $.01 and the day's volume for that stock will now be grouped with the DVOL total.
Note that when a stock moves from being an up stock to a down stock its volume will be removed from the UVOL total and added to the DVOL total. Say the stocks volume is 1 million shares when it moves from up to down. The DVOL will increase by 1 million and the UVOL will decrease by 1 million which means that VOLD will decrease by 2 million.
NYSE Up/Down Volume Ratio is often used as a barometer for stocks trading on all U.S. Exchanges even though it is calculated based on stocks listed on the New York Stock Exchange.
NYSE Up/Down ratio represents the volume of NYSE stocks that are advancing divided by the volume of declining stocks.
The volume of advancing stocks or upside volume is the sum of the volume or the number of shares traded associated with stocks that closed higher.
The downside volume is the total number of shares traded that are associated with stocks that closed lower.
The interpretation of the NYSE Up/Down ratio is rather simple. A value higher than one indicates that there is more volume associated with up stocks than with down stocks and it is usually interpreted as a bullish signal.
Obviously, a bearish signal occurs when the NYSE Up/Down ratio is lower than one, which tells us that there are more volume associated with down stocks than with up stocks.

Market BuySell RatioA script using 1m small candle size (configurable) to compute the volume of buy (up) vs sell (down) candles (instead of actual market buy vs sell orders which are not available in pine script).
It then plots the buy vs sell ratio as an oscillator below the cart.
This gives traders an idea of current order flow in the market.
To compute the small candles this script uses the "Smart Volume" script which can be found here:
CCI Extreme and OBV DivergenceThis is my second set of two indicators combined utilize Multi time frame analysis of 5 minutes and 15 minutes.
CCI:
Green = uptrending
Red = downtrending
Bright Green = overbought, look to go SHORT
Bright Red = oversold, look to go LONG
OBV:
this use to predict the market direction buy drawing trend line.
It is also very good indicator to sport Smart Money moment. When price move higher but OBV trend lower, smart money is taking profit and reversing their position, look to go Short to you spot this type of divergence.
Also else already not there is no holy grail indicator so I also use this set of indicator to improve the signal

50% Fib Trend Cloud + ATR BandsThis indicator plots two structural 50% fibonacci midpoints from recent confirmed 'left/right' swings that form a *cloud* of equilibrium, then adds a rolling 50% fibonacci range midpoint based on a lookback window that's wrapped in ATR bands. Importantly, it solves a specific trading problem:
Structural midpoints (macro context) are powerful but can lag when price escapes prior ranges. Enter rolling 50% fib + ATR ➡️ which restores real-time balance & tolerance (micro context). Together they show where price is balanced structurally, where it’s balanced right now, and how much volatility to tolerate before acting.
➖➖➖
🔑 Why this is different
Most tools either draw a single midpoint (ex., daily 50%) or ATR bands around a moving average. This script fuses dual swing-based 50% midpoints (structure) + a rolling 50% with ATR (flow), so you don’t lose context when price escapes prior ranges. The cloud tells you who’s in control (fast vs. slow structure). The rolling 50% + ATR tells you how far is “too far” now.
➖➖➖
🧠 What it does (at a glance)
🔸Structural Equilibrium × 2 (Fib1/Fib2)
Two independent 50% midpoints formed from swing pivots (configurable Left/Right bars + optional smoothing). Their gap is the Midpoint Cloud = structural “fair value” zone.
🔸Rolling 50% + ATR Bands
A rolling highest/lowest window computes an always-current 50% rolling midpoint plot; ±ATR × length envelopes define a soft value area and over-stretch boundaries.
🔸Actionable Visuals
Optional fill between Fib1/Fib2, labels, and candle-overlay modes to instantly read regime (above both / below both / between).
🔸Smart Defaults
Timeframe-aware presets for L/R pivots & smoothing; full manual overrides available.
➖➖➖
⚙️ Calculations (plain-English)
🔸Pivot midpoints (Fib1 & Fib2):
1) Detect a swing using `Left/Right` bars
2) Take the swing’s high/low → compute 50%
3) (Optional) Smooth the line (SMA) to stabilize on noisy TFs
4) Repeat with a different sensitivity to get two distinct midpoints
🔸Rolling midpoint:
Highest High / Lowest Low over the last *N* bars → (HH + LL) / 2
🔸ATR levels:
`Upper = Rolling50 + ATR × Mult`, `Lower = Rolling50 − ATR × Mult`
(Typical: ATR length 14–21; Multipliers 2.236 for L1, 5.382 for L2)
➖➖➖
🤖 Auto-Configured Presets (with Manual Override)
💡Goal: make the midpoints “just work” on common timeframes while still letting you dial them in.
💡How Auto Presets work
When Auto Presets = ON, the script picks sensible L/R/S (Left bars / Right bars / Smoothing) for Fib Trend 1 and Fib Trend 2 based on chart timeframe.
🔸Fib 1 (fast) emphasizes *micro-structure* for quicker bias shifts.
🔸Fib 2 (slow) emphasizes *macro-structure* for anchor/bias context.
These defaults keep Fib 1 responsive without jitter and Fib 2 stable without lag.
➡️ Turn Auto Presets = OFF to take full control with the manual inputs described below.
➖➖➖
🛠 Manual Fib Midpoint Settings (when Auto = OFF)
💡Each midpoint uses three knobs:
🔸Pivot Left (L): bars to the left that must be lower/higher to qualify a swing
🔸Pivot Right (R): bars to the right that must be lower/higher to confirm the swing
🔸Smoothing (S): SMA period applied to the raw 50% midpoint (stabilizes noise)
5-Minute optimized defaults
🔸Fib Trend 1: `L21 / R5 / S55` → responsive local structure (entries/exits, re-balancing zones)
🔸Fib Trend 2: `L55 / R13 / S89` → broader structure (trend context, anchors/stops)
Timeframe guidance
🔸1m–3m: may feel a touch laggy → consider ~`L13 / R3 / S34`
🔸15m–1h: defaults remain strong → optionally ~`L34 / R8 / S89`
🔸4h+ : increase span for stability → `L89–144 / R13–21 / S144–233`
➡️ Rule of thumb: shorter L/R = faster detection, longer S = smoother line. Tune until Fib 1 captures the “active swing” and Fib 2 captures the “dominant swing” without whipsaw.
➖➖➖
🎛 Inputs (quick reference)
🔸Fib Trend 1/2: Source (High/Low/Close), Left/Right bars, Smoothing length, Show/Hide, Cloud fill toggle
🔸Rolling 50%: Lookback length, Price basis (Wicks/Close/HLC3/OHLC4), Plot scope (Full / Last N / None)
🔸ATR Bands: ATR length, Multipliers (L1/L2), Plot scope, Line width/colors
🔸Overlay & Labels: Candle overlay mode, Label padding/size, 50% centerline toggle, Plot widths
➖➖➖
🖍️ Candle Coloring & Overlay Modes
💡Purpose: make trend instantly visible on the candles and ATR levels.
1) Color Logic (dropdown)
🔸 Fib Midpoints — Colors by position of price vs. Fib 1 & Fib 2
🔸ATR Zones — Colors by which ATR zone price is in relative to the Rolling 50%
➡️ Price Reference: Choose the input used for the decision (Close, HL2, OHLC3, OHLC4).
➡️Tip: Close is crisp; HL2/OHLC variants are smoother.
2) Overlay Style (dropdown)
🔸 None — No visual change to candles
🔸 Bar Color — Uses `barcolor()` to tint built-in candles (this takes into account your Trading View settings, for instance if you have wicks set to white, they will show up as white with this setting)
🔸 PlotCandles — Draws unified custom candles (body, wick, border) with the same color for maximum clarity
💡Practical use
🔸 Pick Fib Midpoints to read structural bias at a glance (above/below/between the cloud).
🔸 Pick ATR Zones to read value vs. stretch around the Rolling 50% (mean-reversion vs. trend extension).
➖➖➖
📘 How to use
A) Trend confirmation
- Strong bullish bias when price holds above both structural mids; strong bearish when below both.
- Use the Rolling 50% + ATR as a dynamic re-entry zone: pullbacks that respect ATR(L1) often continue the prevailing trend.
B) Transition / mean reversion
- Inside the Cloud (between Fib1 & Fib2) treat behavior as neutralization/re-balancing; range tactics tend to outperform momentum plays.
- In ranges, fades near ±ATR around the rolling 50% can mark short-term edges.
C) Breakout context
- When price leaves the Cloud, the Rolling 50% keeps you anchored so price never feels “floating.” A clean hold outside ATR(L1/L2) suggests regime strength; quick re-entries hint at traps.
➖➖➖
🖼 Chart examples
➡️ Each snapshot shows how the Cloud (structure) and the Rolling 50% + ATR (flow) work together.
1) 1-Minute Downtrend – Cloud as Dynamic Ceiling
- The Cloud slopes down; pullbacks repeatedly fail under the Cloud’s underside.
- Rolling 50% (dashed mid) + ATR(L1) act as a reversion band: rallies stall near upper ATR and rotate lower.
2) 15-Minute Persistent Drift – Structure Guides, Flow Times Entries
- Long drift lower with Cloud overhead.
- Consolidations near the rolling mid resolve in the trend direction; ATR bands frame risk on each attempt.
3) 15-Minute Uptrend (BTC) – From Cloud Escape to Value Stair-Step
- After escaping the prior Cloud, rolling 50% + ATR establish a new higher value area.
- Pullbacks into ATR(L1) produce orderly stair-steps; Cloud remains supportive on deeper dips
4) 5-Minute BTC – Pullback to Value then Rotate
- Strong leg up; retrace tags lower ATR band and rotates back toward the rolling mid.
- Labels (Fib1/Fib2) make the structural context explicit for decision-making.
➖➖➖
🧪 Starter presets
- Intraday (5–15m): Fib1 ~ L21/R5 (smooth 5), Fib2 ~ L55/R13 (smooth 9) • Rolling = 55 • ATR = 14 • L1 = 2.5x, L2 = 5.0x
- Scalping: Shorten lookbacks & smoothing; keep ATR multipliers similar, or tighten L1.
- Swing: Lengthen all lookbacks; consider ATR length 21–28.

🏁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 signs of a reversal, 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.

FVG Scanner ProFVG Scanner Pro — Smart Fair Value Gap Detector (with HTF context & proximity alerts)
What it does
FVG Scanner Pro automatically finds Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) on your current chart and (optionally) on a higher timeframe (HTF), draws them as color-coded zones, and notifies you when price comes close to a gap boundary using an ADR-based proximity trigger and (optional) volume confirmation. It’s designed for ICT-style gap trading, confluence building, and clean visual execution.
How it works:
FVG definition
* Bullish FVG (gap up): low > high (the current candle’s low is above the high 2 bars ago).
* Bearish FVG (gap down): high < low (the current candle’s high is below the low 2 bars ago).
* Gaps smaller than your Min FVG Size (%) are ignored. (Gap size = (top-bottom)/bottom * 100.)
Higher-timeframe logic (auto-selected)
The script auto picks a sensible HTF:
1–5m → 15m, 15m → 1H, 1H → 4H, 4H → 1D, 1D → 1W, 1W → 1M, small 1M → 3M, big ≥3M → 12M.
You can display HTF FVGs and even filter so current-TF FVGs only show when they overlap an HTF gap.
Proximity alerts (ADR-based)
The script computes ADR on the current chart timeframe over a user-set lookback (default 20 bars).
An alert fires when price moves toward the closest actionable boundary and comes within ADR × Multiplier:
Bullish: price moving down, within distance of the bottom of a bullish FVG.
Bearish: price moving up, within distance of the top of a bearish FVG.
Yellow ▲/▼ markers show where a proximity alert triggered.
Volume filter (optional)
Require volume to be greater than SMA(20) × multiplier to accept a newly formed FVG.
Lifecycle
Each gap remains active for Extend FVG Box (Bars) bars.
You can delete the box after fill, or keep filled gaps visible as gray zones, or hide them.
Color legend
Current-TF Bullish: Pink/Magenta box
Current-TF Bearish: Cyan/Turquoise box
HTF Bullish: Gold box
HTF Bearish: Orange box
Filled (if shown): Gray box
Alert markers: Yellow ▲ (bullish), Yellow ▼ (bearish)
Inputs (what to tweak)
Show FVGs: Bullish / Bearish / Both
Max Bars Back to Find FVG: collection window & cleanup guard
Extend FVG Box (Bars): how long a zone stays tradable/active
Min FVG Size (%): ignore micro gaps
Delete Box After Fill & Show Filled FVGs: choose how you want completed gaps handled
Show Alert Markers: show/hide the yellow proximity arrows
Show Higher Timeframe FVG: overlay HTF gaps (auto TF)
HTF Filter: only display current-TF gaps that overlap an HTF gap
ADR Lookback & Proximity Multiplier: tune alert sensitivity to your market & timeframe
Volume Filter & Volume > MA Multiple: require above-average volume for new gaps
Built-in alerts (ready to use)
Create alerts in TradingView (⚠️ “Once per bar” or “Once per bar close”, your choice) and select from:
🟢 Bullish FVG Proximity — price approaching a bullish gap bottom
🔴 Bearish FVG Proximity — price approaching a bearish gap top
✅ New Bullish FVG Formed
⚠️ New Bearish FVG Formed
The alert messages include the symbol and price; proximity markers are also plotted on chart.
Tips & best practices
Use FVGs with market structure (break of structure, swing points), order blocks, or liquidity pools for confluence.
On very low timeframes, raise Min FVG Size and/or lower Max Bars Back to reduce noise and keep things fast.
Extend FVG Box controls how long a zone is considered valid; align it with your holding horizon (scalp vs swing).

MTF RSI Heatmap)# MTF RSI Heatmap — v2.7.2
**Hybrid Higher-TF Trend + Intraday Impulse Detection + Smart Counters & Alerts**
Turn your lower pane into a **multi-timeframe market bias dashboard**. This heatmap blends classic RSI momentum with a **hybrid Daily/Weekly MA-stack trend** and an **intraday impulse override** that flags fast moves *as they happen*. Clean, configurable, and built for real trading flow.
---
## What it shows
* **6 stacked rows = 6 timeframes** (bottom → top).
* **Colors**: Green = Bull, Red = Bear, Yellow = Neutral.
* **Header counter**: `Bull X/6 | Bear Y/6` = live agreement across visible rows.
* **Impulse markers** ▲/▼ on intraday rows (5m/15m/60m/240m) when a shock move triggers.
* **Signal bar**: A thin column above the top row when at least **N of 6** rows align (configurable).
---
## Why it’s different
* **Impulse Override (intraday)**
Detects sharp moves using % change over the last *N* bars, optionally gated by **volume > SMA × multiplier**. This catches dumps/pops earlier than RSI alone.
* **Hybrid D/W (structure over noise)**
Daily/Weekly rows can use an **MA stack (8/21/55)** instead of RSI for a more stable higher-timeframe trend read. Optional **price > fast MA** filter for stricter confirmation.
* **Intrabar option**
Flip rows **during the bar** for early reads (accepting repaint on TF close), or keep it close-only for no surprises.
---
## Key features
* 🌈 **Theme**: Classic or High-Contrast colors.
* 🧠 **RSI thresholds**: Bull above 55, Bear below 45 (editable).
* 🧲 **RSI smoothing** (EMA) for intraday rows to reduce flicker.
* 🧰 **Compact left legend** with adjustable text size & opacity.
* 🚨 **Alerts**:
* **Impulse-only** (per TF and “any intraday”)
* **N-of-6 confirmation** (bull/bear)
---
## Recommended settings (fast opens & news)
* **Impulse**: `Bars = 1–2`, `Threshold = 0.25–0.35%`, `Vol confirm = ON`, `Multiplier = 1.3–1.5`.
* **Hybrid D/W**: `ON`, `EMA 8/21/55`, `Price filter = ON`.
* **Intrabar**: `ON` if you want intra-bar updates (repaints at TF close).
---
## How to read it
1. **Row scan**: Are the bottom (fast) rows aligning first? That’s early momentum.
2. **Header counter**: Look for 4+/6 agreement as momentum broadens.
3. **Signal bar**: Acts as a “go/no-go” confirmation when your threshold is met.
4. **Impulse ▲/▼**: Use as a **heads-up** for acceleration; then watch if rows cascade in that direction.
---
## Alerts (exact names)
Create alerts with these built-ins:
* **Impulse UP — any intraday**
* **Impulse DOWN — any intraday**
* **Impulse UP — TF1 / TF2 / TF3 / TF4**
* **Impulse DOWN — TF1 / TF2 / TF3 / TF4**
* **Bull confirmation** (N-of-6)
* **Bear confirmation** (N-of-6)
Tip: Use **Once per bar** or **Once per bar close** depending on whether you enabled *Intrabar*.
---
## Inputs overview
* **Timeframes & visibility** per row.
* **RSI**: length, bull/bear thresholds, optional EMA smoothing (intraday only).
* **Impulse**: bars, %, volume confirm, SMA length, multiplier, markers.
* **Hybrid D/W**: MA type (EMA/SMA/HMA), 8/21/55 lengths, price filter.
* **Theme & Legend**: color theme, label size (Tiny/Small/Normal), legend opacity.
* **Signal**: N required for confirmation (default 4).
---
## Pro tips
* Combine with **session opens**, **VWAP**, and **liquidity levels**.
* If you trade breakouts, let **impulse triggers** cue attention, then wait for **N-of-6** confirmation.
* For swing bias, lean on **Hybrid D/W**—it changes slower, but with intent.
---
## Notes & limitations
* **Intrabar = repaint expected** on higher-TF closes—by design for earlier context.
* Colors/thresholds are general guidance, not signals by themselves.
* Past performance ≠ future results; **this is not financial advice**.

## 💡 How It Works
### **Phase 1: Box Formation (9:15 AM - 9:45 AM)**
The indicator tracks the high and low prices during your specified time window to create a reference box representing the opening range.
### **Phase 2: Breakout Detection**
After the box is locked, the system monitors for:
- **Bullish Breakout**: Price closes above box high for confirmation bars
- **Bearish Breakout**: Price closes below box low for confirmation bars
### **Phase 3: Signal Generation**
When confirmation requirements are met:
- Entry signal is generated with clear visual label
- Target price is calculated (Entry ± Target Points)
- Position tracking activates
- Cooldown timer starts
### **Phase 4: Position Management**
During active trade:
- **Add-On Logic**: If price pulls back by specified distance but stays within favorable range, additional entry signal fires
- **Target Monitoring**: Continuously checks if price reaches TP level
- **Box Adjustment**: After TP hit, box automatically shifts to new range for next opportunity
### **Phase 5: Trade Exit & Reset**
On target hit:
- Position closes with TP marker
- Statistics update
- Box repositions for next setup
- Cooldown activates
- System ready for next signal

Custom Choppiness HistogramThe Custom Choppiness Histogram is a visually enhanced, multi-timeframe version of the traditional Choppiness Index , designed to make it easier to spot when the market is trending vs. ranging.
🔹 Key Features:
Histogram Visualization: Clear, color-coded bars for instant interpretation.
Two Coloring Modes:
1.Change Mode → Colors based on increase/decrease vs. previous CI value.
2.Absolute Levels → Uses common CI thresholds (e.g., >61.8 = choppy, <38.2 = trending).
Grey Bars / Neutral Zone: Bars turn grey when the market is neither strongly trending nor strongly choppy — signaling a neutral or indecisive market.
Multi-Timeframe Option: Analyze Choppiness from any higher timeframe while trading on a lower chart.
Custom Thresholds: Adjust high/low CI levels to fit your strategy.
🔹 How to Use:
Green bars → Market is becoming more trending.
Red bars → Market is becoming more choppy/ranging.
Grey bars → Market is in a neutral zone; use caution and combine with other signals.
Use the timeframe input to filter trades (e.g., check if the 1H is trending before entering on the 5M).
🔹 Best Practice:
Use as a context filter alongside your entry/exit strategy (e.g., MACD, ICT/Smart Money, Supply & Demand).
Helps reduce false entries by avoiding trades during sideways conditions.

Validated Order Blocks with Fib LevelsThis indicator automatically identifies and displays Smart Money Concepts (SMC) order blocks based on market structure breaks:
How it works:
Bearish Order Blocks (Red): Marks the last bullish candle before a swing high. The OB becomes valid when price breaks below the previous swing low, indicating institutional selling zones. Drawn from the candle's close (body top) to its low (bottom wick).
Bullish Order Blocks (Green): Marks the last bearish candle before a swing low. The OB becomes valid when price breaks above the previous swing high, indicating institutional buying zones. Drawn from the candle's high (top wick) to its close (body bottom).
Features:
Three Fibonacci retracement levels (50%, 75%, 100%) for each order block
Fib 100% faces downward on bearish OBs and upward on bullish OBs
Auto-validation: OBs are removed when price closes through them
Customizable: Adjustable swing detection, timeframe selection, and OB display limits
Optional Break of Structure (BOS) markers to show when OBs activate
Works on any timeframe with HTF analysis support
Perfect for identifying key institutional support/resistance zones and potential reversal areas.
Shamji's Liquidity Sweep + FVG (Follow-up + Filters) Purpose (what it does)
This indicator looks for two related price structures used by many smart-money / liquidity-hunt traders:
Liquidity Sweeps — candles that wick beyond a recent swing high (for buy-side stop-hunts) or swing low (for sell-side stop-hunts), then close back inside. These are flagged as potential stop-hunt events that clear obvious liquidity.
Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) — simple 3-bar style gaps where an older bar’s high is below the current low (bullish FVG) or an older bar’s low is above the current high (bearish FVG). When an FVG appears after a sweep (within a configurable window), this is considered a follow-up alignment.
The script adds optional filters (volume spike and candle-range vs ATR) to increase confidence, and can restrict marking/alerts to only events that meet the follow-up and filter rules.
BOCS Channel Scalper Indicator - Mean Reversion Alert System# BOCS Channel Scalper Indicator - Mean Reversion Alert System
## WHAT THIS INDICATOR DOES:
This is a mean reversion trading indicator that identifies consolidation channels through volatility analysis and generates alert signals when price enters entry zones near channel boundaries. **This indicator version is designed for manual trading with comprehensive alert functionality.** Unlike automated strategies, this tool sends notifications (via popup, email, SMS, or webhook) when trading opportunities occur, allowing you to manually review and execute trades. The system assumes price will revert to the channel mean, identifying scalp opportunities as price reaches extremes and preparing to bounce back toward center.
## INDICATOR VS STRATEGY - KEY DISTINCTION:
**This is an INDICATOR with alerts, not an automated strategy.** It does not execute trades automatically. Instead, it:
- Displays visual signals on your chart when entry conditions are met
- Sends customizable alerts to your device/email when opportunities arise
- Shows TP/SL levels for reference but does not place orders
- Requires you to manually enter and exit positions based on signals
- Works with all TradingView subscription levels (alerts included on all plans)
**For automated trading with backtesting**, use the strategy version. For manual control with notifications, use this indicator version.
## ALERT CAPABILITIES:
This indicator includes four distinct alert conditions that can be configured independently:
**1. New Channel Formation Alert**
- Triggers when a fresh BOCS channel is identified
- Message: "New BOCS channel formed - potential scalp setup ready"
- Use this to prepare for upcoming trading opportunities
**2. Long Scalp Entry Alert**
- Fires when price touches the long entry zone
- Message includes current price, calculated TP, and SL levels
- Notification example: "LONG scalp signal at 24731.75 | TP: 24743.2 | SL: 24716.5"
**3. Short Scalp Entry Alert**
- Fires when price touches the short entry zone
- Message includes current price, calculated TP, and SL levels
- Notification example: "SHORT scalp signal at 24747.50 | TP: 24735.0 | SL: 24762.75"
**4. Any Entry Signal Alert**
- Combined alert for both long and short entries
- Use this if you want a single alert stream for all opportunities
- Message: "BOCS Scalp Entry: at "
**Setting Up Alerts:**
1. Add indicator to chart and configure settings
2. Click the Alert (⏰) button in TradingView toolbar
3. Select "BOCS Channel Scalper" from condition dropdown
4. Choose desired alert type (Long, Short, Any, or Channel Formation)
5. Set "Once Per Bar Close" to avoid false signals during bar formation
6. Configure delivery method (popup, email, webhook for automation platforms)
7. Save alert - it will fire automatically when conditions are met
**Alert Message Placeholders:**
Alerts use TradingView's dynamic placeholder system:
- {{ticker}} = Symbol name (e.g., NQ1!)
- {{close}} = Current price at signal
- {{plot_1}} = Calculated take profit level
- {{plot_2}} = Calculated stop loss level
These placeholders populate automatically, creating detailed notification messages without manual configuration.
## KEY DIFFERENCE FROM ORIGINAL BOCS:
**This indicator is designed for traders seeking higher trade frequency.** The original BOCS indicator trades breakouts OUTSIDE channels, waiting for price to escape consolidation before entering. This scalper version trades mean reversion INSIDE channels, entering when price reaches channel extremes and betting on a bounce back to center. The result is significantly more trading opportunities:
- **Original BOCS**: 1-3 signals per channel (only on breakout)
- **Scalper Indicator**: 5-15+ signals per channel (every touch of entry zones)
- **Trade Style**: Mean reversion vs trend following
- **Hold Time**: Seconds to minutes vs minutes to hours
- **Best Markets**: Ranging/choppy conditions vs trending breakouts
This makes the indicator ideal for active day traders who want continuous alert opportunities within consolidation zones rather than waiting for breakout confirmation. However, increased signal frequency also means higher potential commission costs and requires disciplined trade selection when acting on alerts.
## TECHNICAL METHODOLOGY:
### Price Normalization Process:
The indicator normalizes price data to create consistent volatility measurements across different instruments and price levels. It calculates the highest high and lowest low over a user-defined lookback period (default 100 bars). Current close price is normalized using: (close - lowest_low) / (highest_high - lowest_low), producing values between 0 and 1 for standardized volatility analysis.
### Volatility Detection:
A 14-period standard deviation is applied to the normalized price series to measure price deviation from the mean. Higher standard deviation values indicate volatility expansion; lower values indicate consolidation. The indicator uses ta.highestbars() and ta.lowestbars() to identify when volatility peaks and troughs occur over the detection period (default 14 bars).
### Channel Formation Logic:
When volatility crosses from a high level to a low level (ta.crossover(upper, lower)), a consolidation phase begins. The indicator tracks the highest and lowest prices during this period, which become the channel boundaries. Minimum duration of 10+ bars is required to filter out brief volatility spikes. Channels are rendered as box objects with defined upper and lower boundaries, with colored zones indicating entry areas.
### Entry Signal Generation:
The indicator uses immediate touch-based entry logic. Entry zones are defined as a percentage from channel edges (default 20%):
- **Long Entry Zone**: Bottom 20% of channel (bottomBound + channelRange × 0.2)
- **Short Entry Zone**: Top 20% of channel (topBound - channelRange × 0.2)
Long signals trigger when candle low touches or enters the long entry zone. Short signals trigger when candle high touches or enters the short entry zone. Visual markers (arrows and labels) appear on chart, and configured alerts fire immediately.
### Cooldown Filter:
An optional cooldown period (measured in bars) prevents alert spam by enforcing minimum spacing between consecutive signals. If cooldown is set to 3 bars, no new long alert will fire until 3 bars after the previous long signal. Long and short cooldowns are tracked independently, allowing both directions to signal within the same period.
### ATR Volatility Filter:
The indicator includes a multi-timeframe ATR filter to avoid alerts during low-volatility conditions. Using request.security(), it fetches ATR values from a specified timeframe (e.g., 1-minute ATR while viewing 5-minute charts). The filter compares current ATR to a user-defined minimum threshold:
- If ATR ≥ threshold: Alerts enabled
- If ATR < threshold: No alerts fire
This prevents notifications during dead zones where mean reversion is unreliable due to insufficient price movement. The ATR status is displayed in the info table with visual confirmation (✓ or ✗).
### Take Profit Calculation:
Two TP methods are available:
**Fixed Points Mode**:
- Long TP = Entry + (TP_Ticks × syminfo.mintick)
- Short TP = Entry - (TP_Ticks × syminfo.mintick)
**Channel Percentage Mode**:
- Long TP = Entry + (ChannelRange × TP_Percent)
- Short TP = Entry - (ChannelRange × TP_Percent)
Default 50% targets the channel midline, a natural mean reversion target. These levels are displayed as visual lines with labels and included in alert messages for reference when manually placing orders.
### Stop Loss Placement:
Stop losses are calculated just outside the channel boundary by a user-defined tick offset:
- Long SL = ChannelBottom - (SL_Offset_Ticks × syminfo.mintick)
- Short SL = ChannelTop + (SL_Offset_Ticks × syminfo.mintick)
This logic assumes channel breaks invalidate the mean reversion thesis. SL levels are displayed on chart and included in alert notifications as suggested stop placement.
### Channel Breakout Management:
Channels are removed when price closes more than 10 ticks outside boundaries. This tolerance prevents premature channel deletion from minor breaks or wicks, allowing the mean reversion setup to persist through small boundary violations.
## INPUT PARAMETERS:
### Channel Settings:
- **Nested Channels**: Allow multiple overlapping channels vs single channel

## HOW TO USE:
### For 1-3 Minute Scalping with Alerts (NQ/ES):
- ATR Timeframe: "1" (1-minute)
- ATR Min Value: 10.0 (for NQ), adjust per instrument
- Entry Zone %: 20-25%
- TP Method: Fixed Points, 20-40 ticks
- SL Offset: 5-10 ticks
- Cooldown: 2-3 bars to reduce alert spam
- **Alert Setup**: Configure "Any Entry Signal" for combined long/short notifications
- **Execution**: When alert fires, verify chart visuals, then manually place limit order at entry zone with provided TP/SL levels
### For 5-15 Minute Day Trading with Alerts:
- ATR Timeframe: "5" or match chart
- ATR Min Value: Adjust to instrument (test 8-15 for NQ)
- Entry Zone %: 20-30%
- TP Method: % of Channel, 40-60%
- SL Offset: 5-10 ticks
- Cooldown: 3-5 bars
- **Alert Setup**: Configure separate "Long Scalp Entry" and "Short Scalp Entry" alerts if you trade directionally based on bias
- **Execution**: Review channel structure on alert, confirm ATR filter shows ✓, then enter manually
### For 30-60 Minute Swing Scalping with Alerts:
- ATR Timeframe: "15" or "30"
- ATR Min Value: Lower threshold for broader market
- Entry Zone %: 25-35%
- TP Method: % of Channel, 50-70%
- SL Offset: 10-15 ticks
- Cooldown: 5+ bars or disable
- **Alert Setup**: Use "New Channel Formation" to prepare for setups, then "Any Entry Signal" for execution alerts
- **Execution**: Larger timeframes allow more analysis time between alert and entry
### Webhook Integration for Semi-Automation:
- Configure alert webhook URL to connect with platforms like TradersPost, TradingView Paper Trading, or custom automation
- Alert message includes all necessary order parameters (direction, entry, TP, SL)
- Webhook receives structured data when signal fires
- External platform can auto-execute based on alert payload
- Still maintains manual oversight vs full strategy automation
## USAGE CONSIDERATIONS:
- **Manual Discipline Required**: Alerts provide opportunities but execution requires judgment. Not all alerts should be taken - consider market context, trend, and channel quality
- **Alert Timing**: Alerts fire on bar close by default. Ensure "Once Per Bar Close" is selected to avoid false signals during bar formation
- **Notification Delivery**: Mobile/email alerts may have 1-3 second delay. For immediate execution, use desktop popups or webhook automation
- **Cooldown Necessity**: Without cooldown, rapidly touching price action can generate excessive alerts. Start with 3-bar cooldown and adjust based on alert volume
- **ATR Filter Impact**: Enabling ATR filter dramatically reduces alert count but improves quality. Track filter status in info table to understand when you're receiving fewer alerts
- **Commission Awareness**: High alert frequency means high potential trade count. Calculate if your commission structure supports frequent scalping before acting on all alerts
## COMPATIBLE MARKETS:
Works on any instrument with price data including stock indices (NQ, ES, YM, RTY), individual stocks, forex pairs (EUR/USD, GBP/USD), cryptocurrency (BTC, ETH), and commodities. Volume-based features are not included in this indicator version. Multi-timeframe ATR requires higher-tier TradingView subscription for request.security() functionality on timeframes below chart timeframe.
## KNOWN LIMITATIONS:
- **Indicator does not execute trades** - alerts are informational only; you must manually place all orders
- **Alert delivery depends on TradingView infrastructure** - delays or failures possible during platform issues
- **No position tracking** - indicator doesn't know if you're in a trade; you must manage open positions independently
- **TP/SL levels are reference only** - you must manually set these on your broker platform; they are not live orders
- **Immediate touch entry can generate many alerts** in choppy zones without adequate cooldown
- **Channel deletion at 10-tick breaks** may be too aggressive or lenient depending on instrument tick size
- **ATR filter from lower timeframes** requires TradingView Premium/Pro+ for request.security()
- **Mean reversion logic fails** in strong breakout scenarios - alerts will fire but trades may hit stops
- **No partial closing capability** - full position management is manual; you determine scaling out
- **Alerts do not account for gaps** or overnight price changes; morning alerts may be stale
## RISK DISCLOSURE:
Trading involves substantial risk of loss. This indicator provides signals for educational and informational purposes only and does not constitute financial advice. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Mean reversion strategies can experience extended drawdowns during trending markets. Alerts are not guaranteed to be profitable and should be combined with your own analysis. Stop losses may not fill at intended levels during extreme volatility or gaps. Never trade with capital you cannot afford to lose. Consider consulting a licensed financial advisor before making trading decisions. Always verify alerts against current market conditions before executing trades manually.
## ACKNOWLEDGMENT & CREDITS:
This indicator is built upon the channel detection methodology created by **AlgoAlpha** in the "Smart Money Breakout Channels" indicator. Full credit and appreciation to AlgoAlpha for pioneering the normalized volatility approach to identifying consolidation patterns. The core channel formation logic using normalized price standard deviation is AlgoAlpha's original contribution to the TradingView community.
Enhancements to the original concept include: mean reversion entry logic (vs breakout), immediate touch-based alert generation, comprehensive alert condition system with customizable notifications, multi-timeframe ATR volatility filtering, cooldown period for alert management, dual TP methods (fixed points vs channel percentage), visual TP/SL reference lines, and real-time status monitoring table. This indicator version is specifically designed for manual traders who prefer alert-based decision making over automated execution.
BOCS Channel Scalper Strategy - Automated Mean Reversion System# BOCS Channel Scalper Strategy - Automated Mean Reversion System
## WHAT THIS STRATEGY DOES:
This is an automated mean reversion trading strategy that identifies consolidation channels through volatility analysis and executes scalp trades when price enters entry zones near channel boundaries. Unlike breakout strategies, this system assumes price will revert to the channel mean, taking profits as price bounces back from extremes. Position sizing is fully customizable with three methods: fixed contracts, percentage of equity, or fixed dollar amount. Stop losses are placed just outside channel boundaries with take profits calculated either as fixed points or as a percentage of channel range.
## KEY DIFFERENCE FROM ORIGINAL BOCS:
**This strategy is designed for traders seeking higher trade frequency.** The original BOCS indicator trades breakouts OUTSIDE channels, waiting for price to escape consolidation before entering. This scalper version trades mean reversion INSIDE channels, entering when price reaches channel extremes and betting on a bounce back to center. The result is significantly more trading opportunities:
- **Original BOCS**: 1-3 signals per channel (only on breakout)
- **Scalper Version**: 5-15+ signals per channel (every touch of entry zones)
- **Trade Style**: Mean reversion vs trend following
- **Hold Time**: Seconds to minutes vs minutes to hours
- **Best Markets**: Ranging/choppy conditions vs trending breakouts
This makes the scalper ideal for active day traders who want continuous opportunities within consolidation zones rather than waiting for breakout confirmation. However, increased trade frequency also means higher commission costs and requires tighter risk management.
## TECHNICAL METHODOLOGY:
### Price Normalization Process:
The strategy normalizes price data to create consistent volatility measurements across different instruments and price levels. It calculates the highest high and lowest low over a user-defined lookback period (default 100 bars). Current close price is normalized using: (close - lowest_low) / (highest_high - lowest_low), producing values between 0 and 1 for standardized volatility analysis.
### Volatility Detection:
A 14-period standard deviation is applied to the normalized price series to measure price deviation from the mean. Higher standard deviation values indicate volatility expansion; lower values indicate consolidation. The strategy uses ta.highestbars() and ta.lowestbars() to identify when volatility peaks and troughs occur over the detection period (default 14 bars).
### Channel Formation Logic:
When volatility crosses from a high level to a low level (ta.crossover(upper, lower)), a consolidation phase begins. The strategy tracks the highest and lowest prices during this period, which become the channel boundaries. Minimum duration of 10+ bars is required to filter out brief volatility spikes. Channels are rendered as box objects with defined upper and lower boundaries, with colored zones indicating entry areas.
### Entry Signal Generation:
The strategy uses immediate touch-based entry logic. Entry zones are defined as a percentage from channel edges (default 20%):
- **Long Entry Zone**: Bottom 20% of channel (bottomBound + channelRange × 0.2)
- **Short Entry Zone**: Top 20% of channel (topBound - channelRange × 0.2)
Long signals trigger when candle low touches or enters the long entry zone. Short signals trigger when candle high touches or enters the short entry zone. This captures mean reversion opportunities as price reaches channel extremes.
### Cooldown Filter:
An optional cooldown period (measured in bars) prevents signal spam by enforcing minimum spacing between consecutive signals. If cooldown is set to 3 bars, no new long signal will fire until 3 bars after the previous long signal. Long and short cooldowns are tracked independently, allowing both directions to signal within the same period.
### ATR Volatility Filter:
The strategy includes a multi-timeframe ATR filter to avoid trading during low-volatility conditions. Using request.security(), it fetches ATR values from a specified timeframe (e.g., 1-minute ATR while trading on 5-minute charts). The filter compares current ATR to a user-defined minimum threshold:
- If ATR ≥ threshold: Trading enabled
- If ATR < threshold: No signals fire
This prevents entries during dead zones where mean reversion is unreliable due to insufficient price movement.
### Take Profit Calculation:
Two TP methods are available:
**Fixed Points Mode**:
- Long TP = Entry + (TP_Ticks × syminfo.mintick)
- Short TP = Entry - (TP_Ticks × syminfo.mintick)
**Channel Percentage Mode**:
- Long TP = Entry + (ChannelRange × TP_Percent)
- Short TP = Entry - (ChannelRange × TP_Percent)
Default 50% targets the channel midline, a natural mean reversion target. Larger percentages aim for opposite channel edge.
### Stop Loss Placement:
Stop losses are placed just outside the channel boundary by a user-defined tick offset:
- Long SL = ChannelBottom - (SL_Offset_Ticks × syminfo.mintick)
- Short SL = ChannelTop + (SL_Offset_Ticks × syminfo.mintick)
This logic assumes channel breaks invalidate the mean reversion thesis. If price breaks through, the range is no longer valid and position exits.
### Trade Execution Logic:
When entry conditions are met (price in zone, cooldown satisfied, ATR filter passed, no existing position):
1. Calculate entry price at zone boundary
2. Calculate TP and SL based on selected method
3. Execute strategy.entry() with calculated position size
4. Place strategy.exit() with TP limit and SL stop orders
5. Update info table with active trade details
The strategy enforces one position at a time by checking strategy.position_size == 0 before entry.
### Channel Breakout Management:
Channels are removed when price closes more than 10 ticks outside boundaries. This tolerance prevents premature channel deletion from minor breaks or wicks, allowing the mean reversion setup to persist through small boundary violations.
### Position Sizing System:
Three methods calculate position size:
**Fixed Contracts**:
- Uses exact contract quantity specified in settings
- Best for futures traders (e.g., "trade 2 NQ contracts")
**Percentage of Equity**:
- position_size = (strategy.equity × equity_pct / 100) / close
- Dynamically scales with account growth
**Cash Amount**:
- position_size = cash_amount / close
- Maintains consistent dollar exposure regardless of price

- SL Offset: 10-15 ticks
- Cooldown: 5+ bars or disable
- Position Size: % of equity recommended
## BACKTEST CONSIDERATIONS:
- Strategy performs best in ranging, mean-reverting markets
- Strong trending markets produce more stop losses as price breaks channels
- ATR filter significantly reduces trade count but improves quality during low volatility
- Cooldown period trades signal quantity for signal quality
- Commission and slippage materially impact sub-5-minute timeframe performance
- Shorter timeframes require tighter entry zones (15-20%) to catch quick reversions
- % of Channel TP adapts better to varying channel sizes than fixed points
- Fixed contract sizing recommended for consistent risk per trade in futures
**Backtesting Parameters Used**: This strategy was developed and tested using realistic commission and slippage values to provide accurate performance expectations. Recommended settings: Commission of $1.40 per side (typical for NQ futures through discount brokers), slippage of 2 ticks to account for execution delays on fast-moving scalp entries. These values reflect real-world trading costs that active scalpers will encounter. Backtest results without proper cost simulation will significantly overstate profitability.
## COMPATIBLE MARKETS:
Works on any instrument with price data including stock indices (NQ, ES, YM, RTY), individual stocks, forex pairs (EUR/USD, GBP/USD), cryptocurrency (BTC, ETH), and commodities. Volume-based features require data feed with volume information but are optional for core functionality.
## KNOWN LIMITATIONS:
- Immediate touch entry can fire multiple times in choppy zones without adequate cooldown
- Channel deletion at 10-tick breaks may be too aggressive or lenient depending on instrument tick size
- ATR filter from lower timeframes requires higher-tier TradingView subscription (request.security limitation)
- Mean reversion logic fails in strong breakout scenarios leading to stop loss hits
- Position sizing via % of equity or cash amount calculates based on close price, may differ from actual fill price
- No partial closing capability - full position exits at TP or SL only
- Strategy does not account for gap openings or overnight holds
## RISK DISCLOSURE:
Trading involves substantial risk of loss. Past performance does not guarantee future results. This strategy is for educational purposes and backtesting only. Mean reversion strategies can experience extended drawdowns during trending markets. Stop losses may not fill at intended levels during extreme volatility or gaps. Thoroughly test on historical data and paper trade before risking real capital. Use appropriate position sizing and never risk more than you can afford to lose. Consider consulting a licensed financial advisor before making trading decisions. Automated trading systems can malfunction - monitor all live positions actively.
