Tom Basso ETR HedgeSimple hedge regime indicator inspired by Tom Basso’s hedging approach described at enjoytheride.world It combines Keltner Channels, Bollinger Bands, and Donchian Channels using 50-bar “IN” signals to turn the hedge ON and 21-bar “OUT” signals to turn the hedge OFF. When any 50-bar lower band is broken to the downside, the background turns red to indicate hedge mode, and when price recovers above any 21-bar upper band, hedge mode turns off.
Use this on a broad market index (SPX/ES/SPY, etc.) to time when you should be hedged versus unhedged, not as a standalone entry/exit trading system.

200SMA Distance OscillatorThe oscillator measures the percentage deviation of closing price x from SMA200.
The idea behind the oscillator was preceded by an analysis of how often MAs in the index hold/bounce or are broken through.
Basically, the idea was about index analysis, i.e., the macro picture of a market.
Who wants to buy individual stocks when the overall market is plummeting ;-)
Or in other words: How long are you long in a market? When is it time to take profits?
After the analysis of the stability of SMAs in the index was rather modest (ratio of just under 6:4 for bounce to breakout – overall in 20, 50, 100, and 200 frames from 2020 to 2025), it was noticeable that the percentage over- or underperformance was scalable, especially in indices.
And since indices generally move upwards, there were fixed limits for over- and underestimations – especially in the longer term (SMA200) – unlike with individual stocks.
It is therefore more a question of macro trends and less of short-term movements, e.g., in day trading.
It was now interesting to see at what percentage range counter-movements were likely – particularly in the positive range for profit-taking, but of course also in the negative range for entry into sold-off markets.
If, for example, closing prices around +25% above SMA200 were reached in the NDX, the probability is very high that the market has overreacted and an interim correction will follow – so the theory goes.
On the other hand, continuous levels of +5 to +10% are a product of healthy positive development in a bull market and do not necessarily require action.
The oscillator was specifically designed for the NDX, but can also be used for the SPX and others.
The style was based on the RSI, so that the color level rises from 10% to 20% (overbought/oversold principle).
Based on manually examined movements, the criteria were set as follows:
+/-10% = flow / no color background
> +/-10% = border areas / color background
The center line represents the 252 average of the percentage deviations and could also be used as a trigger, provided it has been historically examined and is valid.
The oscillator is very interesting because it behaves completely differently from one financial instrument to another and, as a result, also in the timeframes (4h, D, W).
It would probably make sense to change the flow and border levels in the code when using it outside of indices.
The fact is that the oscillator must be “adjusted” to each instrument in order to achieve its goal of providing the best possible prediction. “Adjusting” refers to the analysis of the levels at which an instrument/asset usually reacts.
As with all indicators and oscillators, it is advisable to take other indicators and, in particular, macro news into account when analyzing this development.
If I find any substantial correlations with other indicators, I will be happy to provide an update.
The idea came from me, the code from Grok.
The code is not 100% perfect, but the data (percentage deviation, color background) is correct according to initial analysis.
In the settings, you can make the lines of the plots invisible. This makes the oscillator clearer. You can also adjust the settings for the average line.
Flux-Tensor Singularity [FTS]Flux-Tensor Singularity - Multi-Factor Market Pressure Indicator
The Flux-Tensor Singularity (FTS) is an advanced multi-factor oscillator that combines volume analysis, momentum tracking, and volatility-weighted normalization to identify critical market inflection points. Unlike traditional single-factor indicators, FTS synthesizes price velocity, volume mass, and volatility context into a unified framework that adapts to changing market regimes.
This indicator identifies extreme market conditions (termed "singularities") where multiple confirming factors converge, then uses a sophisticated scoring system to determine directional bias. It is designed for traders seeking high-probability setups with built-in confluence requirements.
THEORETICAL FOUNDATION
The indicator is built on the premise that market time is not constant - different market conditions contain varying levels of information density. A 1-minute bar during a major news event contains far more actionable information than a 1-minute bar during overnight low-volume trading. Traditional indicators treat all bars equally; FTS does not.
The theoretical framework draws conceptual parallels to physics (purely as a mental model, not literal physics):
Volume as Mass: Large volume represents significant market participation and "weight" behind price moves. Just as massive objects have stronger gravitational effects, high-volume moves carry more significance.
Price Change as Velocity: The rate of price movement through price space represents momentum and directional force.
Volatility as Time Dilation: When volatility is high relative to its historical norm, the "information density" of each bar increases. The indicator weights these periods more heavily, similar to how time dilates near massive objects in physics.
This is a pedagogical metaphor to create a coherent mental model - the underlying mathematics are standard financial calculations combined in a novel way.
MATHEMATICAL FRAMEWORK
The indicator calculates a composite singularity value through four distinct steps:
Step 1: Raw Singularity Calculation
S_raw = (ΔP × V) × γ²
Where:
ΔP = Price Velocity = close - close
V = Volume Mass = log(volume + 1)
γ² = Time Dilation Factor = (ATR_local / ATR_global)²
Volume Transformation: Volume is log-transformed because raw volume can have extreme outliers (10x-100x normal). The logarithm compresses these spikes while preserving their significance. This is standard practice in volume analysis.
Volatility Weighting: The ratio of short-term ATR (5 periods) to long-term ATR (user-defined lookback) is squared to create a volatility amplification factor. When local volatility exceeds global volatility, this ratio increases, amplifying the raw singularity value. This makes the indicator regime-aware.
Step 2: Normalization
The raw singularity values are normalized to a 0-100 scale using a stochastic-style calculation:
S_normalized = ((S_raw - S_min) / (S_max - S_min)) × 100
Where S_min and S_max are the lowest and highest raw singularity values over the lookback period.
Step 3: Epsilon Compression
S_compressed = 50 + ((S_normalized - 50) / ε)
This is the critical innovation that makes the sensitivity control functional. By applying compression AFTER normalization, the epsilon parameter actually affects the final output:
ε < 1.0: Expands range (more signals)
ε = 1.0: No change (default)
ε > 1.0: Compresses toward 50 (fewer, higher-quality signals)
For example, with ε = 2.0, a normalized value of 90 becomes 70, making threshold breaches rarer and more significant.
Step 4: Smoothing
S_final = EMA(S_compressed, smoothing_period)
An exponential moving average removes high-frequency noise while preserving trend.
SIGNAL GENERATION LOGIC
When the tensor crosses above the upper threshold (default 90) or below the lower threshold (default 10), an extreme event is detected. However, the indicator does NOT immediately generate a buy or sell signal. Instead, it analyzes market context through a multi-factor scoring system:
Scoring Components:
Price Structure (+1 point): Current bar bullish/bearish
Momentum (+1 point): Price higher/lower than N bars ago
Trend Context (+2 points): Fast EMA above/below slow EMA (weighted heavier)
Acceleration (+1 point): Rate of change increasing/decreasing
Volume Multiplier (×1.5): If volume > average, multiply score
The highest score (bullish vs bearish) determines signal direction. This prevents the common indicator failure mode of "overbought can stay overbought" by requiring directional confirmation.
Signal Conditions:
A BUY signal requires:
Extreme event detection (tensor crosses threshold)
Bullish score > Bearish score
Price confirmation: Bullish candle (optional, user-controlled)
Volume confirmation: Volume > average (optional, user-controlled)
Momentum confirmation: Positive momentum (optional, user-controlled)
A SELL signal requires the inverse conditions.
INPUTS EXPLAINED - Core Parameters:
Global Horizon (Context): Default 20. Lookback period for normalization and volatility comparison. Higher values = smoother but less responsive. Lower values = more signals but potentially more noise.
Tensor Smoothing: Default 3. EMA period applied to final output. Removes "quantum foam" (high-frequency noise). Range 1-20.
Singularity Threshold: Default 90. Values above this (or below 100-threshold) trigger extreme event detection. Higher = rarer, stronger signals.
Signal Sensitivity (Epsilon): Default 1.0. Post-normalization compression factor. This is the key innovation - it actually works because it's applied AFTER normalization. Range 0.1-5.0.
Signal Interpreter Toggles:
Require Price Confirmation: Default ON. Only generates buy signals on bullish candles, sell signals on bearish candles. Reduces false signals but may delay entry.
Require Volume Confirmation: Default ON. Only signals when volume > average. Critical for stocks/crypto, less important for forex (unreliable volume data).
Use Momentum Filter: Default ON. Requires momentum agreement with signal direction. Prevents counter-trend signals.
Momentum Lookback: Default 5. Number of bars for momentum calculation. Shorter = more responsive, longer = trend-following bias.
Visual Controls:
Colors: Customizable colors for bullish flux, bearish flux, background, and event horizon.
Visual Transparency: Default 85. Master control for all visual elements (accretion disk, field lines, particles, etc.). Range 50-99. Signals and dashboard have separate controls.
Visibility Toggles: Individual on/off switches for:
Gravitational field lines (trend EMAs)
Field reversals (trend crossovers)
Accretion disk (background gradient)
Singularity diamonds (neutral extreme events)
Energy particles (volume bursts)
Event horizon flash (extreme event background)
Signal background flash
Signal Size: Tiny/Small/Normal triangle size
Signal Offsets: Separate controls for buy and sell signal vertical positioning (percentage of price)
Dashboard Settings:
Show Dashboard: Toggle on/off
Position: 9 placement options (all corners, centers, middles)
Text Size: Tiny/Small/Normal/Large
Background Transparency: 0-50, separate from visual transparency
VISUAL ELEMENTS EXPLAINED
1. Accretion Disk (Background Gradient):
A three-layer gradient background that intensifies as the tensor approaches extremes. The outer disk appears at any non-neutral reading, the inner disk activates above 70 or below 30, and the core layer appears above 85 or below 15. Color indicates direction (cyan = bullish, red = bearish). This provides instant visual feedback on market pressure intensity.
2. Gravitational Field Lines (EMAs):
Two trend-following EMAs (10 and 30 period) visualized as colored lines. These represent the "curvature" of market trend - when they diverge, trend is strong; when they converge, trend is weakening. Crossovers mark potential trend reversals.
3. Field Reversals (Circles):
Small circles appear when the fast EMA crosses the slow EMA, indicating a potential trend change. These are distinct from extreme events and appear at normal market structure shifts.
4. Singularity Diamonds:
Small diamond shapes appear when the tensor reaches extreme levels (>90 or <10) but doesn't meet the full signal criteria. These are "watch" events - extreme pressure exists but directional confirmation is lacking.
5. Energy Particles (Dots):
Tiny dots appear when volume exceeds 2× average, indicating significant participation. Color matches bar direction. These highlight genuine high-conviction moves versus low-volume drifts.
6. Event Horizon Flash:
A golden background flash appears the instant any extreme threshold is breached, before directional analysis. This alerts you to pay attention.
7. Signal Background Flash:
When a full buy/sell signal is confirmed, the background flashes cyan (buy) or red (sell). This is your primary alert that all conditions are met.
8. Signal Triangles:
The actual buy (▲) and sell (▼) markers. These only appear when ALL selected confirmation criteria are satisfied. Position is offset from bars to avoid overlap with other indicators.
DASHBOARD METRICS EXPLAINED
The dashboard displays real-time calculated values:
Event Density: Current tensor value (0-100). Above 90 or below 10 = critical. Icon changes: 🔥 (extreme high), ❄️ (extreme low), ○ (neutral).
Time Dilation (γ): Current volatility ratio squared. Values >2.0 indicate extreme volatility environments. >1.5 = elevated, >1.0 = above average. Icon: ⚡ (extreme), ⚠ (elevated), ○ (normal).
Mass (Vol): Log-transformed volume value. Compared to volume ratio (current/average). Icon: ● (>2× avg), ◐ (>1× avg), ○ (below avg).
Velocity (ΔP): Raw price change. Direction arrow indicates momentum direction. Shows the actual price delta value.
Bullish Flux: Current bullish context score. Displayed as both a bar chart (visual) and numeric value. Brighter when bullish score dominates.
Bearish Flux: Current bearish context score. Same visualization as bullish flux. These scores compete - the winner determines signal direction.
Field: Trend direction based on EMA relationship. "Repulsive" (uptrend), "Attractive" (downtrend), "Neutral" (ranging). Icon: ⬆⬇↔
State: Current market condition:
🚀 EJECTION: Buy signal active
💥 COLLAPSE: Sell signal active
⚠ CRITICAL: Extreme event, no directional confirmation
● STABLE: Normal market conditions
HOW TO USE THE INDICATOR
1. Wait for Extreme Events:
The indicator is designed to be selective. Don't trade every fluctuation - wait for tensor to reach >90 or <10. This alone is not a signal.
2. Check Context Scores:
Look at the Bullish Flux vs Bearish Flux in the dashboard. If scores are close (within 1-2 points), the market is indecisive - skip the trade.
3. Confirm with Signals:
Only act when a full triangle signal appears (▲ or ▼). This means ALL your selected confirmation criteria have been met.
4. Use with Price Structure:
Combine with support/resistance levels. A buy signal AT support is higher probability than a buy signal in the middle of nowhere.
5. Respect the Dashboard State:
When State shows "CRITICAL" (⚠), it means extreme pressure exists but direction is unclear. These are the most dangerous moments - wait for resolution.
6. Volume Matters:
Energy particles (dots) and the Mass metric tell you if institutions are participating. Signals without volume confirmation are lower probability.

Morning session (9:30-11:00 ET) shows highest event density
Earnings announcements create guaranteed extreme events
Best on 5m-1h for day trading, 1D for swing trading
Crypto (BTC, ETH, major alts):
Reduce threshold to 85 (crypto has constant high volatility)
Volume spikes are THE primary signal - keep volume confirmation ON
Works exceptionally well due to 24/7 trading and high volatility
Epsilon can be reduced to 0.7-0.8 for more signals
Best on 15m-4h timeframes
Commodities (Gold, Oil, etc.):
Gold responds to macro events (Fed announcements, geopolitical events)
Oil responds to supply shocks
Use daily timeframe minimum
Increase lookback to 50+
These are slow-moving markets - be patient
Indices (SPX, NDX, etc.):
Institutional volume matters - keep volume confirmation ON
Opening hour (9:30-10:30 ET) = highest singularity probability
Strong correlation with VIX - high VIX = more extreme events
Best on 15m-1h for day trading
WHAT MAKES THIS INDICATOR UNIQUE
1. Post-Normalization Sensitivity Control:
Unlike most oscillators where sensitivity controls don't actually work (they're applied before normalization, which then rescales everything), FTS applies epsilon compression AFTER normalization. This means the sensitivity parameter genuinely affects signal frequency. This is a novel implementation not found in standard oscillators.
2. Multi-Factor Confluence Requirement:
The indicator doesn't just detect "overbought" or "oversold" - it detects extreme conditions AND THEN analyzes context through five separate factors (price structure, momentum, trend, acceleration, volume). Most indicators are single-factor; FTS requires confluence.
3. Volatility-Weighted Normalization:
By squaring the ATR ratio (local/global), the indicator adapts to changing market regimes. A 1% move in a low-volatility environment is treated differently than a 1% move in a high-volatility environment. Traditional indicators treat all moves equally regardless of context.
4. Volume Integration at the Core:
Volume isn't an afterthought or optional filter - it's baked into the fundamental equation as "mass." The log transformation handles outliers elegantly while preserving significance. Most price-based indicators completely ignore volume.
5. Adaptive Scoring System:
Rather than fixed buy/sell rules ("RSI >70 = sell"), FTS uses competitive scoring where bullish and bearish evidence compete. The winner determines direction. This solves the classic problem of "overbought markets can stay overbought during strong uptrends."
6. Comprehensive Visual Feedback:
The multi-layer visualization system (accretion disk, field lines, particles, flashes) provides instant intuitive feedback on market state without requiring dashboard reading. You can see pressure building before extreme thresholds are hit.
7. Separate Extreme Detection and Signal Generation:
"Singularity diamonds" show extreme events that don't meet full criteria, while "signal triangles" only appear when ALL conditions are met. This distinction helps traders understand when pressure exists versus when it's actionable.
COMPARISON TO EXISTING INDICATORS
vs. RSI/Stochastic:
These normalize price relative to recent range. FTS normalizes (price change × log volume × volatility ratio) - a composite metric, not just price position.
vs. Chaikin Money Flow:
CMF combines price and volume but lacks volatility context and doesn't use adaptive normalization or post-normalization compression.
vs. Bollinger Bands + Volume:
Bollinger Bands show volatility but don't integrate volume or create a unified oscillator. They're separate components, not synthesized.
vs. MACD:
MACD is pure momentum. FTS combines momentum with volume weighting and volatility context, plus provides a normalized 0-100 scale.
The specific combination of log-volume weighting, squared volatility amplification, post-normalization epsilon compression, and multi-factor directional scoring is unique to this indicator.
LIMITATIONS AND PROPER DISCLOSURE
Not a Holy Grail:
No indicator is perfect. This tool identifies high-probability setups but cannot predict the future. Losses will occur. Use proper risk management.
Requires Confirmation:
Best used in conjunction with price action analysis, support/resistance levels, and higher timeframe trend. Don't trade signals blindly.
Volume Data Dependency:
On forex (spot) and some low-volume instruments, volume data is unreliable or tick-volume only. Disable volume confirmation in these cases.
Lagging Components:
The EMA smoothing and trend filters are inherently lagging. In extremely fast moves, signals may appear after the initial thrust.
Extreme Event Rarity:
With conservative settings (high threshold, high epsilon), signals can be rare. This is by design - quality over quantity. If you need more frequent signals, reduce threshold to 85 and epsilon to 0.7.
Not Financial Advice:
This indicator is an analytical tool. All trading decisions and their consequences are solely your responsibility. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
BEST PRACTICES
Don't trade every singularity - wait for context confirmation
Higher timeframes = higher reliability
Combine with support/resistance for entry refinement
Volume confirmation is CRITICAL for stocks/crypto (toggle off only for forex)
During major news events, singularities are inevitable but direction may be uncertain - use wider stops
When bullish and bearish flux scores are close, skip the trade
Test settings on your specific instrument/timeframe before live trading
Use the dashboard actively - it contains critical diagnostic information

TICK & ADD Market Internals SuiteOverview: This is the ultimate Market Internals tool designed for professional SPX/ES and NQ intraday traders.
Traders often monitor both TICK (for short-term timing) and ADD (for daily trend context). However, displaying them on the same chart is usually problematic due to their different scales (TICK ±1000 vs. ADD ±2000), causing chart compression.
Market Internals Suite solves this with a smart "Visual Scaling" algorithm, perfectly fusing TICK Candles and the ADD Line into a single, coherent pane.
Key Features
1.Hybrid Visualization:
· TICK (Foreground): Displayed as OHLC Candles to capture instant liquidity sweeps and wicks.
· ADD (Background): Displayed as a clean Line to show the underlying market breadth trend without clutter.
2.Smart Visual Scaling:
· To prevent chart distortion, the ADD line is visually scaled down (Default Ratio: 1.5).
· This aligns the ADD trend volatility with the TICK range, allowing you to instantly spot divergences or resonance between sentiment and trend.
3.Real-Time Data Dashboard:
· Never lose track of the actual numbers. A dashboard in the top-right corner displays the TRUE values for both TICK and ADD (unscaled).
· Customizable Text Size: You can adjust the dashboard font size (Small/Normal/Large/Huge) in the settings to fit your screen.
4.TICK Extreme Alerts:
· Visual Highlight: The chart background highlights (Green/Red) only when TICK hits the extreme ±1000 levels.
· The ADD line remains clean and alert-free to serve as a stable reference.
Strategy: Context + Timing:
1.Trend Resonance
When the ADD line trends upward and TICK candles consistently maintain levels above zero, it indicates a healthy, strong trend. This is a signal to look for trend-following long setups.
2.Divergence Analysis (The "Holy Grail" Signal)
This combination view makes spotting internal divergences incredibly easy:
· Bearish Divergence: When Price makes a New High, but the ADD line or TICK peaks make a Lower High. This suggests buying exhaustion beneath the surface and often precedes a reversal down.
· Bullish Divergence: When Price makes a New Low, but the ADD line or TICK lows make a Higher Low. This suggests that selling pressure is being absorbed, signaling a potential bounce or reversal up.
TICK Indicator with Extreme AlertsOverview:
This indicator is designed to provide intraday traders (especially those trading SPX, ES, and NQ) with a clearer NYSE TICK analysis tool featuring visual alerts. Unlike traditional TICK line charts, this indicator utilizes OHLC Candlesticks to display data, allowing you to fully view the Open, High, Low, and Close within a specific timeframe, thereby capturing instantaneous liquidity sweeps.
Core Features & Logic:
Candlestick Visualization (OHLC Candles): Uses the USI:TICK.US data source by default. The candlestick patterns allow you to clearly see if the TICK pierced key levels intraday but retraced by the close—vital information that standard line charts often miss.
Dual Key Level System: The indicator is designed with two independent reference tiers for trend observation and reversal detection:
Reference Lines (+/- 800): Marked by gray dashed lines. These represent the standard bull/bear dividing zones. When TICK sustains above +800 or below -800, it typically indicates a strong trending market.
Extreme Alerts (+/- 1000): These thresholds are used to identify extreme market sentiment (overbought/oversold conditions).
Background Highlight Alerts (Visual Alerts): To reduce screen-watching fatigue, the indicator automatically highlights the candlestick background when extreme market sentiment occurs:
Green Background: Triggered when TICK High breaks above +1000. Represents extreme buying sentiment, potentially indicating exhaustion or a short squeeze.
Red Background: Triggered when TICK Low drops below -1000. Represents extreme panic selling (Washout), often serving as a potential signal for an intraday reversal or a short-term bottom.
Custom Settings:
All thresholds (800 reference lines, 1000 alert lines) are fully adjustable in the settings.
All colors (Candles, Reference Lines, Background Alert Colors) can be customized.
Use Cases: This tool is ideal for intraday counter-trend or trend-following trading when combined with Price Action analysis and key Support & Resistance levels.
Drawdown % + STD Bands: Log-Scale Macro ToolDescription: The exact indicator big-macro accounts use: tracks real-time drawdown from the rolling 252-period peak, then plots -1σ (blue) and -2σ (orange) bands on a clean percent scale. Built for weekly charts-shows if a stock, index, or crypto is statistically cheap (hit -1σ) or generational-buy territory (-2σ). Works flawlessly on SPX, Nasdaq, Bitcoin, Gold, Tesla... anything. How to Use (read it aloud like a voice memo): 1. Slap this under any chart, set to weekly timeframe . 2. Flip the price pane to log scale -zero negotiations. 3. Watch the thick red line: • Hovering 0 %? Bullish noise, chill. • Kissing blue (-10 % to -25 %)? Start loading-happens every 1-2 years. • Touching orange (-30 %+)? Panic sale finished. Buy like rent money's burning a hole. 4. Zoom out five-ten years; monthly works too if you want lazy vibes. Daily? Trash-too twitchy. Pro tip: Name your watchlist Panic Plays, drop this in, and ping me when MELI or GOOGL hits orange. I'll confirm if it's actually stupid-cheap.
Percentage Distance from 200-Week SMA200-Week SMA % Distance Oscillator (Clean & Simple)
This lightweight, no-nonsense indicator shows how far the current price is from the classic 200-week Simple Moving Average, expressed as a percentage.
Key features:
• True percentage distance: (Price − 200w SMA) / 200w SMA × 100
• Auto-scaling oscillator (no forced ±100% range → the line actually moves and looks alive)
• Clean zero line
• +10% overbought and −10% oversold levels with subtle background shading
• Real-time table showing the exact current percentage
• Small label on the last bar for instant reading
• Alert conditions when price moves >10% above or below the 200-week SMA
Why 200-week SMA?
Many legendary investors and hedge funds (Stan Druckenmiller, Paul Tudor Jones, etc.) use the 200-week SMA as their ultimate long-term trend anchor. Being +10% or more above it has historically signaled extreme optimism, while −10% or lower has marked deep pessimism and generational buying opportunities.
Perfect for Bitcoin, SPX, gold, individual stocks – works on any timeframe (looks especially good on daily and weekly charts).
Open-source • No repainting • Minimalist & fast

MadblockUser Instructions for the "Madblock" Indicator (Pine Script v6 – TradingView)
This script creates a daily "Madblock" zone based on the high and low of the 15:30–15:45 NY time period (previous day’s final 15 minutes of regular trading hours for US equities/indices). It then generates optional entry signals the following trading day when price breaks this zone while respecting additional filters (EMAs, time window, signal spacing, and daily limit).
1. How to Add the Script to Your Chart
1. Open TradingView (tradingview.com).
2. Open any chart (preferably ES, NQ, SPX, SPY, or another instrument with US trading hours).
3. Click Pine Editor at the bottom.
4. Delete any existing code and paste the entire script provided.
5. Click Add to Chart (or Save → Add to Chart).
6. The indicator will appear as “Madblock”.
2. Input Settings (customizable in the indicator’s settings panel)
| Input | Default | Description |
|-----------------------|---------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| Show Madblock Boxes | true | Displays the purple Madblock zones on the chart. Uncheck to hide boxes but keep signals. |
| Box Color | Purple | Color of the Madblock rectangle and background. |
| Transparency | 80 | Background transparency of the box (0 = opaque, 100 = fully transparent). |
| Enable Madblock Signals | true | Turns the long/short entry signals on or off. |
| Show 50 EMA (15m & 30m) | true | Displays the 50-period EMA from the 15-minute and 30-minute timeframes (yellow & orange lines). |
3. What the Indicator Does – Core Functionality
**A. Madblock Zone Creation (Previous Day)**
- Every day at 15:30 NY time → a new box is started using the high/low of that 15:30 candle.
- At 15:45 NY time → the box is finalized by taking the maximum high and minimum low of both the 15:30 and 15:45 candles.
- The box is drawn from 15:30 that day until 17:00 the next trading day (skips weekend automatically).
- This finalized zone becomes the reference levels for the next trading day’s signals.
**B. Signal Generation (Current Trading Day)**
Signals can only appear between 09:45 and 15:59 NY time (no signals in the first 15 minutes after 09:30 open).
Long Signal (green triangle below bar, text “MB”)
- Price closes above yesterday’s Madblock high
- Price is above both the 15-min 50 EMA and 30-min 50 EMA
- At least 4 bars have passed since the previous signal
- Maximum 3 signals per day (long + short combined)
Short Signal (orange triangle above bar, text “MB”)
- Price closes below yesterday’s Madblock low
- Price is below both the 15-min 50 EMA and 30-min 50 EMA
- Same spacing and daily limit rules as long signals
4. Recommended Chart Settings
- Timeframe: 15-minute charts work best.
- Session: Use “Extended Hours” turned OFF (regular trading hours only) for most accurate appearance.
- Time zone: Ensure your chart is set to New York time (or Exchange time for US instruments).
5. Important Notes & Limitations
- The script requires at least two full trading days of history to display boxes and generate signals correctly.
- On Mondays the box is created from the previous Friday’s 15:30–15:45 period.
- Boxes are capped at 500 (TradingView limit); old boxes automatically disappear as new ones are created.
- Signals are purely mechanical and for educational/informational purposes only. No guarantee of profitability.
6. Quick Checklist for Daily Use
1. Confirm chart time zone is America/New_York.
2. Verify yesterday’s purple Madblock zone is visible (15:30–17:00 stretch).
3. Look for “MB” triangles only after 09:45 and before 16:00.
4. Maximum of three signals (combined long + short) per session.
That is all you need to start using the Madblock indicator effectively. Adjust the input settings to match your preferred visual style or to disable elements you do not need.

🎯 Wyckoff Order Block Entry System🎯 Wyckoff Order Block Entry System
📝 INDICATOR DESCRIPTION
🎯 Wyckoff Order Block Entry System Short Description:
Professional institutional zone trading combined with Wyckoff methodology. Identifies high-probability entries where smart money meets classic price action patterns.
Full Description:
Wyckoff Order Block Entry System is a precision trading tool that combines two powerful concepts:
Order Blocks - Institutional zones where large players place their orders
Wyckoff Method - Classic price action patterns revealing smart money behavior
🎯 What Makes This Different?
Unlike traditional indicators that flood your chart with signals, this system only triggers entries when BOTH conditions are met:
Price enters an institutional Order Block zone (current timeframe OR higher timeframe)
A Wyckoff pattern occurs (Spring, SOS, Upthrust, or SOW)
This dual-confirmation approach ensures you're trading with institutional flow at optimal entry points.
📊 Key Features:
✅ Order Block Detection
Automatically identifies institutional buying/selling zones
Current timeframe order blocks (solid lines)
Higher timeframe order blocks (dashed lines) for stronger zones
Customizable strength and extension settings
✅ 4 Wyckoff Entry Patterns
SPRING (Bullish Reversal): Fake breakdown below support → Quick recovery
SOS (Sign of Strength): Strong bullish candle after accumulation
UPTHRUST (Bearish Reversal): Fake breakout above resistance → Quick rejection
SOW (Sign of Weakness): Strong bearish candle after distribution
✅ Clean Visual Design
Minimalist approach - only essential information
Color-coded zones (Green = Bullish, Red = Bearish, Cyan/Magenta = HTF)
Clear entry signals with pattern type labels
No chart clutter - focus on what matters
✅ Multi-Timeframe Analysis
Integrates higher timeframe order blocks
HTF signals marked with "+HTF" tag for extra confidence
Fully customizable HTF selection (H1, H4, Daily, etc.)
✅ Smart Alerts
Entry signal alerts (Long/Short)
Order block formation alerts
HTF order block alerts
Customizable alert messages
💡 How To Use:
Setup: Add indicator to your chart, configure HTF timeframe (default H1)
Wait: Let order blocks form (green/red boxes appear)
Watch: Price returns to order block zone
Entry: Signal appears when Wyckoff pattern confirms
Trade: Enter with the signal, stop below/above order block
📈 Best For:
Forex pairs (all majors and crosses)
Gold (XAUUSD)
Crypto (BTC, ETH, etc.)
Indices (SPX, NAS100, etc.)
Stocks
Commodities
⏱️ Recommended Timeframes:
M15 for scalping
M30 for day trading
H1 for swing trading
H4 for position trading
🎯 Win Rate Expectations:
Current TF signals: 60-70%
HTF signals (+HTF tag): 70-80%
Spring/Upthrust patterns: Highest probability
Works on ALL liquid markets
⚙️ Customizable Settings:
Order block detection parameters
HTF timeframe selection
Wyckoff sensitivity (swing length, volume threshold)
Zone extension duration
Color schemes
📚 Trading Strategy:
This indicator works best when:
Trading in the direction of higher timeframe trend
Using proper risk management (1-2% per trade)
Placing stops just outside order block zones
Taking profits at opposite order blocks
Focusing on HTF signals for higher quality
🔒 Risk Management:
Always use stop losses! Recommended placement:
LONG: 10-20 pips below order block
SHORT: 10-20 pips above order block
Target: Minimum 1:2 risk/reward ratio
💎 Why Traders Love This System:
"Finally, an indicator that doesn't spam my chart with useless signals!" - The quality-over-quantity approach means you only get high-probability setups.
"The HTF order blocks changed my trading!" - Multi-timeframe analysis built-in removes the need for manual higher timeframe checks.
"Wyckoff + Order Blocks = Perfect combination!" - Two proven concepts working together create powerful confluence.
📊 Universal Application:
This system works on ANY liquid market with sufficient volume:
✅ Forex (EUR/USD, GBP/USD, USD/JPY, etc.)
✅ Commodities (Gold, Silver, Oil, etc.)
✅ Indices (S&P 500, NASDAQ, DAX, etc.)
✅ Cryptocurrencies (Bitcoin, Ethereum, etc.)
✅ Stocks (Large cap with good liquidity)
🎓 Educational Value:
Beyond just signals, this indicator teaches you:
How institutional traders think
Where smart money places orders
Classic Wyckoff accumulation/distribution patterns
Multi-timeframe analysis techniques

Liquidity Sweeps 2.0 – MGTrading Professional Liquidity Sweep Engine with Volume, MACD, Trend, SMT Divergence & Rolling VWAP
Liquidity Sweeps 2.0 is a **complete precision-based liquidity detection framework** built for traders who follow smart money concepts, sweep-based entries, and algorithmic price behavior.
This tool detects **high-probability buy/sell sweeps**, confirms them with market structure, Volume, MACD engine, Trend filtering, SMT divergence, and overlays a Rolling VWAP to track accumulation & distribution behavior.
It is designed for futures, indices, forex, crypto, and options traders.
-
🔥 **MAIN FEATURES**
✅ **1. True Liquidity Sweep Detection**
Automatically detects when price:
* Sweeps a prior high (Sell Sweep)
* Sweeps a prior low (Buy Sweep)
* Rejects and closes back inside the previous range
This helps identify real **stop hunts**, **liquidity grabs**, and **reversal moments**.
---
✅ **2. Volume Spike Confirmation (Smart Filter) **
Sweeps are only confirmed when volume exceeds the dynamic SMA threshold.
This filters out weak sweeps and keeps only **high-quality liquidity grabs**.
✅ **3. MACD Engine Confirmation**
Advanced MACD rules confirm sweeps by:
* MACD direction
* MACD signal agreement
* MACD histogram alignment
This dramatically increases accuracy and removes fake sweeps that occur in weak trends.
Optional **MACD Divergence Detection** reveals trend exhaustion before major reversals.
✅ **4. EMA Trend Filter (9/21) **
Avoid fighting the trend with the optional trend filter:
* Only buy sweeps in uptrend
* Only sell sweeps in downtrend
Great for scalpers and day traders who want trend alignment.
✅ **5. SMT Divergence (Relative Strength vs Reference Symbol) **
Enable SMT to detect when:
* Your chart sweeps a high/low
* But the reference symbol DOES NOT
This creates **displacement**, a powerful reversal signal used by institutional traders.
The symbol is selectable (ES, NQ, SPY, QQQ, BTC.D, DXY, etc.).
✅ **6. Rolling VWAP (RVWAP)**
A more dynamic version of VWAP using:
* Time-based rolling windows
* Volume-weighted price
* Automatic or adjustable window size
* Color change based on slope
Excellent for tracking **accumulation**, **distribution**, and **algorithmic trend bias**.
✅ **7. Clean Mode**
Only show “confirmed” sweeps with a ✓
Ideal for traders who want a simple and clean chart.

Volatility-Targeted Momentum Portfolio [BackQuant]Volatility-Targeted Momentum Portfolio
A complete momentum portfolio engine that ranks assets, targets a user-defined volatility, builds long, short, or delta-neutral books, and reports performance with metrics, attribution, Monte Carlo scenarios, allocation pie, and efficiency scatter plots. This description explains the theory and the mechanics so you can configure, validate, and deploy it with intent.

Suggested workflow
1) What the script does at a glance
Pulls a list of up to 15 tickers, computes a simple momentum score on each over a configurable lookback, then volatility-scales their bar-to-bar return stream to a target annualized volatility.
Ranks assets by raw momentum, selects the top 3 and bottom 3, builds positions according to the chosen mode, and gates exposure with a fast regime filter.
Accumulates a portfolio equity curve with risk and performance metrics, optional benchmark buy-and-hold for comparison, and a full alert suite.
Adds visual diagnostics: performance attribution bars, Monte Carlo forward paths, an allocation pie, and scatter plots for risk-return and factor views.
2) Momentum: definition, detection, and validation
Momentum is the tendency of assets that have performed well to continue to perform well, and of underperformers to continue underperforming, over a specific horizon. You operationalize it by selecting a horizon, defining a signal, ranking assets, and trading the leaders versus laggards subject to risk constraints.
Signal choices . Common signals include cumulative return over a lookback window, regression slope on log-price, or normalized rate-of-change. This script uses cumulative return over lookback bars for ranking (variable cr = price/price - 1). It keeps the ranking simple and lets volatility targeting handle risk normalization.
How to know momentum is present .
Leaders and laggards persist across adjacent windows rather than flipping every bar.
Spread between average momentum of leaders and laggards is materially positive in sample.
Cross-sectional dispersion is non-trivial. If everything is flat or highly correlated with no separation, momentum selection will be weak.
Your validation should include a diagnostic that measures whether returns are explained by a momentum regression on the timeseries.
Recommended diagnostic tool . Before running any momentum portfolio, verify that a timeseries exhibits stable directional drift. Use this indicator as a pre-check: It fits a regression to price, exposes slope and goodness-of-fit style context, and helps confirm if there is usable momentum before you force a ranking into a flat regime.
3) Volatility targeting: purpose and implementation here
Purpose . Volatility targeting seeks a more stable risk footprint. High-vol assets get sized down, low-vol assets get sized up, so each contributes more evenly to total risk.
Computation in this script (per asset, rolling):
Return series ret = log(price/price ).
Annualized volatility estimate vol = stdev(ret, lookback) * sqrt(tradingdays).
Leverage multiplier volMult = clamp(targetVol / vol, 0.1, 5.0).
This caps sizing so extremely low-vol assets don’t explode weight and extremely high-vol assets don’t go to zero.
Scaled return stream sr = ret * volMult. This is the per-bar, risk-adjusted building block used in the portfolio combinations.
Interpretation . You are not levering your account on the exchange, you are rescaling the contribution each asset’s daily move has on the modeled equity. In live trading you would reflect this with position sizing or notional exposure.
4) Portfolio construction modes
Cross-sectional ranking . Assets are sorted by cr over the chosen lookback. Top and bottom indices are extracted without ties.
Long Only . Averages the volatility-scaled returns of the top 3 assets: avgRet = mean(sr_top1, sr_top2, sr_top3). Position table shows per-asset leverages and weights proportional to their current volMult.
Short Only . Averages the negative of the volatility-scaled returns of the bottom 3: avgRet = mean(-sr_bot1, -sr_bot2, -sr_bot3). Position table shows short legs.
Delta Neutral . Long the top 3 and short the bottom 3 in equal book sizes. Each side is sized to 50 percent notional internally, with weights within each side proportional to volMult. The return stream mixes the two sides: avgRet = mean(sr_top1,sr_top2,sr_top3, -sr_bot1,-sr_bot2,-sr_bot3).
Notes .
The selection metric is raw momentum, the execution stream is volatility-scaled returns. This separation is deliberate. It avoids letting volatility dominate ranking while still enforcing risk parity at the return contribution stage.
If everything rallies together and dispersion collapses, Long Only may behave like a single beta. Delta Neutral is designed to extract cross-sectional momentum with low net beta.
5) Regime filter
A fast EMA(12) vs EMA(21) filter gates exposure.
Long Only active when EMA12 > EMA21. Otherwise the book is set to cash.
Short Only active when EMA12 < EMA21. Otherwise cash.
Delta Neutral is always active.
This prevents taking long momentum entries during obvious local downtrends and vice versa for shorts. When the filter is false, equity is held flat for that bar.
6) Transaction cost modelling
There are two cost touchpoints in the script.
Per-bar drag . When the regime filter is active, the per-bar return is reduced by fee_rate * avgRet inside netRet = avgRet - (fee_rate * avgRet). This models proportional friction relative to traded impact on that bar.
Turnover-linked fee . The script tracks changes in membership of the top and bottom baskets (top1..top3, bot1..bot3). The intent is to charge fees when composition changes. The template counts changes and scales a fee by change count divided by 6 for the six slots.
Use case: increase fee_rate to reflect taker fees and slippage if you rebalance every bar or trade illiquid assets. Reduce it if you rebalance less often or use maker orders.
Practical advice .
If you rebalance daily, start with 5–20 bps round-trip per switch on liquid futures and adjust per venue.
For crypto perp microcaps, stress higher cost assumptions and add slippage buffers.
If you only rotate on lookback boundaries or at signals, use alert-driven rebalances and lower per-bar drag.
7) Backtest metrics and definitions
The script computes a standard set of portfolio statistics once the start date is reached.
Net Profit percent over the full test.
Max Drawdown percent, tracked from running peaks.
Annualized Mean and Stdev using the chosen trading day count.
Variance is the square of annualized stdev.
Sharpe uses daily mean adjusted by risk-free rate and annualized.
Sortino uses downside stdev only.
Omega ratio of sum of gains to sum of losses.
Gain-to-Pain total gains divided by total losses absolute.
CAGR compounded annual growth from start date to now.
Alpha, Beta versus a user-selected benchmark. Beta from covariance of daily returns, Alpha from CAPM.
Skewness of daily returns.
VaR 95 linear-interpolated 5th percentile of daily returns.
CVaR average of the worst 5 percent of daily returns.
Benchmark Buy-and-Hold equity path for comparison.
8) Performance attribution
Cumulative contribution per asset, adjusted for whether it was held long or short and for its volatility multiplier, aggregated across the backtest. You can filter to winners only or show both sides. The panel is sorted by contribution and includes percent labels.
9) Monte Carlo simulation
The panel draws forward equity paths from either a Normal model parameterized by recent mean and stdev, or non-parametric bootstrap of recent daily returns. You control the sample length, number of simulations, forecast horizon, visibility of individual paths, confidence bands, and a reproducible seed.
Normal uses Box-Muller with your seed. Good for quick, smooth envelopes.
Bootstrap resamples realized returns, preserving fat tails and volatility clustering better than a Gaussian assumption.
Bands show 10th, 25th, 75th, 90th percentiles and the path mean.
10) Scatter plot analysis
Four point-cloud modes, each plotting all assets and a star for the current portfolio position, with quadrant guides and labels.
Risk-Return Efficiency . X is risk proxy from leverage, Y is expected return from annualized momentum. The star shows the current book’s composite.
Momentum vs Volatility . Visualizes whether leaders are also high vol, a cue for turnover and cost expectations.
Beta vs Alpha . X is a beta proxy, Y is risk-adjusted excess return proxy. Useful to see if leaders are just beta.
Leverage vs Momentum . X is volMult, Y is momentum. Shows how volatility targeting is redistributing risk.
11) Asset allocation pie chart
Builds a wheel of current allocations.
Long Only, weights are proportional to each long asset’s current volMult and sum to 100 percent.
Short Only, weights show the short book as positive slices that sum to 100 percent.
Delta Neutral, 50 percent long and 50 percent short books, each side leverage-proportional.
Labels can show asset, percent, and current leverage.
12) Inputs and quick presets
Core
Portfolio Strategy . Long Only, Short Only, Delta Neutral.
Initial Capital . For equity scaling in the panel.
Trading Days/Year . 252 for stocks, 365 for crypto.
Target Volatility . Annualized, drives volMult.
Transaction Fees . Per-bar drag and composition change penalty, see the modelling notes above.
Momentum Lookback . Ranking horizon. Shorter is more reactive, longer is steadier.
Start Date . Ensure every symbol has data back to this date to avoid bias.
Benchmark . Used for alpha, beta, and B&H line.
Diagnostics
Metrics, Equity, B&H, Curve labels, Daily return line, Rolling drawdown fill.
Attribution panel. Toggle winners only to focus on what matters.
Monte Carlo mode with Normal or Bootstrap and confidence bands.
Scatter plot type and styling, labels, and portfolio star.
Pie chart and labels for current allocation.
Presets
Crypto Daily, Long Only . Lookback 25, Target Vol 50 percent, Fees 10 bps, Regime filter on, Metrics and Drawdown on. Monte Carlo Bootstrap with Recent 200 bars for bands.
Crypto Daily, Delta Neutral . Lookback 25, Target Vol 50 percent, Fees 15–25 bps, Regime filter always active for this mode. Use Scatter Risk-Return to monitor efficiency and keep the star near upper left quadrants without drifting rightward.
Equities Daily, Long Only . Lookback 60–120, Target Vol 15–20 percent, Fees 5–10 bps, Regime filter on. Use Benchmark SPX and watch Alpha and Beta to keep the book from becoming index beta.
13) Suggested workflow
Universe sanity check . Pick liquid tickers with stable data. Thin assets distort vol estimates and fees.
Check momentum existence . Run on your timeframe. If slope and fit are weak, widen lookback or avoid that asset or timeframe.
Set risk budget . Choose a target volatility that matches your drawdown tolerance. Higher target increases turnover and cost sensitivity.
Pick mode . Long Only for bull regimes, Short Only for sustained downtrends, Delta Neutral for cross-sectional harvesting when index direction is unclear.
Tune lookback . If leaders rotate too often, lengthen it. If entries lag, shorten it.
Validate cost assumptions . Increase fee_rate and stress Monte Carlo. If the edge vanishes with modest friction, refine selection or lengthen rebalance cadence.
Run attribution . Confirm the strategy’s winners align with intuition and not one unstable outlier.
Use alerts . Enable position change, drawdown, volatility breach, regime, momentum shift, and crash alerts to supervise live runs.
Important implementation details mapped to code
Momentum measure . cr = price / price - 1 per symbol for ranking. Simplicity helps avoid overfitting.
Volatility targeting . vol = stdev(log returns, lookback) * sqrt(tradingdays), volMult = clamp(targetVol / vol, 0.1, 5), sr = ret * volMult.
Selection . Extract indices for top1..top3 and bot1..bot3. The arrays rets, scRets, lev_vals, and ticks_arr track momentum, scaled returns, leverage multipliers, and display tickers respectively.
Regime filter . EMA12 vs EMA21 switch determines if the strategy takes risk for Long or Short modes. Delta Neutral ignores the gate.
Equity update . Equity multiplies by 1 + netRet only when the regime was active in the prior bar. Buy-and-hold benchmark is computed separately for comparison.
Tables . Position tables show current top or bottom assets with leverage and weights. Metric table prints all risk and performance figures.
Visualization panels . Attribution, Monte Carlo, scatter, and pie use the last bars to draw overlays that update as the backtest proceeds.
Final notes
Momentum is a portfolio effect. The edge comes from cross-sectional dispersion, adequate risk normalization, and disciplined turnover control, not from a single best asset call.
Volatility targeting stabilizes path but does not fix selection. Use the momentum regression link above to confirm structure exists before you size into it.
Always test higher lag costs and slippage, then recheck metrics, attribution, and Monte Carlo envelopes. If the edge persists under stress, you have something robust.

The Smart VWAP FVG System is an advanced multi-layered trading indicator that combines institutional volume analysis, multi-timeframe VWAP trend confirmation, and Fair Value Gap detection to identify high-probability trade entries. This indicator uses a sophisticated filtering mechanism where signals appear only when multiple independent confirmation criteria align simultaneously.
Recommended Timeframe: 5-minute (M5) or higher. The indicator works best on M5, M15, and M30 charts for intraday trading.
🎯 ORIGINALITY & PURPOSE
This indicator is original because it combines three distinct analytical methods into a unified decision-making system:
Market Profile Volume Analysis - Identifies institutional accumulation/distribution zones
Dual VWAP Filtering - Confirms trend direction using two independent VWAP calculations
Fair Value Gap Detection - Validates institutional interest through price inefficiency zones
The key innovation is the directional filter system: the primary Market Profile generates BUY-ONLY or SELL-ONLY states based on higher timeframe value area reversals, which then controls which signals from the main system are displayed. This creates a multi-timeframe confluence that significantly reduces false signals.
Unlike simple indicator mashups, each component serves a specific purpose:
Market Profile → Direction bias (trend filter)
Primary VWAP (Session) → Short-term trend confirmation
Secondary VWAP (Week) → Medium-term trend confirmation
FVG Detection → Institutional activity validation
🔧 HOW IT WORKS
1. Primary Market Profile Filter (Higher Timeframe)
The indicator calculates Market Profile on a higher timeframe (default: 1 hour) to determine the overall market structure:
Value Area High (VAH): Top 70% of volume distribution
Value Area Low (VAL): Bottom 70% of volume distribution
Point of Control (POC): Price level with highest volume
When price reaches VAH and reverses down → SELL-ONLY mode activated
When price reaches VAL and reverses up → BUY-ONLY mode activated
This higher timeframe filter ensures you're trading in the direction of institutional flow.
2. Dual VWAP System
Two independent VWAP calculations provide multi-timeframe trend confirmation:
Primary VWAP (Session-based): Resets daily, tracks intraday momentum
Secondary VWAP (Week-based): Resets weekly, confirms longer-term trend
Filter Logic:
BUY signals require: Price > Primary VWAP AND Price > Secondary VWAP
SELL signals require: Price < Primary VWAP AND Price < Secondary VWAP
This dual confirmation prevents counter-trend trades during ranging conditions.
3. Fair Value Gap (FVG) Detection
FVG zones identify price inefficiencies where institutional orders were executed rapidly:
Bullish FVG: Gap between candle .high and candle .low (upward imbalance)
Bearish FVG: Gap between candle .high and candle .low (downward imbalance)
The indicator monitors recent FVG formation (lookback: 50 bars) and requires:
Bullish FVG present for BUY signals
Bearish FVG present for SELL signals
FVG zones are displayed as colored boxes and automatically marked as "mitigated" when price fills the gap.
4. Main Trading Signal Logic
The secondary Market Profile (default: 1 hour) generates the actual trading signals:
BUY Signal Conditions:
Price reaches Value Area Low
Reversal pattern confirmed (minimum 1 bar)
Price > Primary VWAP
Price > Secondary VWAP (if filter enabled)
Recent Bullish FVG detected (if filter enabled)
Primary MP Filter = BUY-ONLY or NEUTRAL
SELL Signal Conditions:
Price reaches Value Area High
Reversal pattern confirmed (minimum 1 bar)
Price < Primary VWAP
Price < Secondary VWAP (if filter enabled)
Recent Bearish FVG detected (if filter enabled)
Primary MP Filter = SELL-ONLY or NEUTRAL
All conditions must be TRUE simultaneously for a signal to appear.

⚠️ IMPORTANT WARNINGS & LIMITATIONS
1. Repainting Behavior
CRITICAL: This indicator uses lookahead=barmerge.lookahead_on to access higher timeframe data immediately for FVG detection. This is necessary to provide real-time FVG zone visualization but has the following implications:
FVG zones may shift slightly until the higher timeframe candle closes
FVG detection signals are preliminary until HTF bar confirmation
The main trading signals (triangles) appear on confirmed bars and do not repaint
Best Practice: Always wait for the current timeframe bar to close before acting on signals. The filter status and FVG zones are informational but may adjust as new data arrives.
2. Minimum Timeframe
Do NOT use on timeframes below 5 minutes (M5)
Recommended: M5, M15, M30 for intraday trading
Higher timeframes (H1, H4) can also be used but will generate fewer signals
3. Multiple Filters Can Block Signals
By design, this indicator is conservative. When all filters are enabled:
Signals appear ONLY when all conditions align
You may see extended periods with no signals
This is intentional to reduce false positives
If you see no signals:
Check the Info Panel to see which filters are failing
Consider adjusting FVG lookback period
Temporarily disable FVG filter to test
Verify VWAP filters match current market trend
4. Market Profile Limitations
Market Profile requires sufficient volume data
Low-volume instruments may produce unreliable profiles
Value Areas update only on higher timeframe bar close
Works best on liquid markets (major forex pairs, indices, crypto)
📖 HOW TO USE
Step 1: Add to Chart
Apply indicator to M5 or higher timeframe chart
Ensure chart shows volume data
Use standard candles (NOT Heikin Ashi, Renko, etc.)
Step 2: Configure Settings
Primary MP Filter TF: Set to 60 (1 hour) minimum, or 240 (4 hour) for swing trading
Main MP TF: Set to 60 (1 hour) for intraday signals
FVG Timeframe: Match or exceed main MP timeframe
Leave other settings at default initially
Step 3: Understand the Info Panel
Monitor the top-right panel:
FILTER STATUS: Shows current directional bias
NEUTRAL = Both signals allowed
BUY ONLY = Only green triangles will appear
SELL ONLY = Only red triangles will appear
FVG Filter: Shows if bullish/bearish gaps detected recently
VWAP positions: Confirms trend alignment
Step 4: Take Signals
For BUY Signal (Green Triangle ▲):
Wait for green triangle to appear
Check Info Panel shows ✓ for BUY signals
Confirm current bar has closed
Enter long position
Stop loss: Below recent VAL or swing low
Target: Previous Value Area High or 1.5-2× risk
For SELL Signal (Red Triangle ▼):
Wait for red triangle to appear
Check Info Panel shows ✓ for SELL signals
Confirm current bar has closed
Enter short position
Stop loss: Above recent VAH or swing high
Target: Previous Value Area Low or 1.5-2× risk
Step 5: Risk Management
Risk per trade: Maximum 1-2% of account equity
Position sizing: Adjust based on stop loss distance
Avoid trading: During major news events or time filter periods
Multiple confirmations: Look for confluence with price action (support/resistance, trendlines)
🎓 UNDERLYING CONCEPTS
Market Profile Theory
Developed by J. Peter Steidlmayer in the 1980s, Market Profile organizes price and volume data to identify:
Value Areas: Where 70% of trading activity occurred
POC: Price level with highest acceptance (most volume)
Imbalances: When price moves away from value quickly
This indicator uses TPO (Time Price Opportunity) calculation method to build the volume profile distribution.
VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price)
VWAP represents the average price weighted by volume, showing where institutional traders are positioned:
Price above VWAP = Bullish (institutions accumulated lower)
Price below VWAP = Bearish (institutions distributed higher)
Using dual VWAP (Session + Week) creates multi-timeframe trend alignment.
Fair Value Gaps (FVG)
Also known as "imbalance" or "inefficiency," FVG occurs when:
Price moves so rapidly that a gap forms in the candlestick structure
Indicates institutional order flow (large market orders)
Price often returns to "fill" these gaps (rebalance)
The 3-candle FVG pattern (gap between candle and candle ) is widely used in ICT (Inner Circle Trader) methodology and Smart Money Concepts.
