Support & Resistance Zones [HexaTrades]
This indicator automatically finds the price levels where the market has turned around before the places where buyers stepped in (support) and where sellers took over (resistance) and draws them as clean rectangular zones on your chart.
Instead of a thin line, each level is drawn as a zone with real thickness, because support and resistance are never one exact price; they are areas where price reacts. The zones update live, extend forward as long as they are valid, and turn into light "ghost" boxes once price finally breaks through them, so you always keep the full picture of the market's history.
Bitcoin 4h: the indicator marking support and resistance zones
How it works
- Finds swing points. A swing high is a candle whose high is higher than the 10 candles on each side of it (the "Swing Length" setting). A swing low is the same idea upside down. These are the exact spots where the market turned.
- Builds a zone from the candle. The zone covers the candle's wick from the extreme tip to the candle body. That wick is where orders actually pushed price back, so it becomes the zone.
- Keeps zone size sensible. Very small wicks get padded to a minimum height, and no zone can grow taller than a maximum height (both measured in ATR, so they adapt automatically to each market's volatility).
- Merges duplicate levels. If a new swing forms at a level that already has a zone, the two are combined into one box instead of stacking clutter on your chart.
- Watches for breaks. When a candle closes beyond a zone, the zone is "broken." what happens next is up to you (see below).
What happens after a zone breaks?
The indicator provides three different zone-management options.
Keep As Past Zone: The broken zone stops extending and remains visible as a faded historical zone. This makes it easier to review how price behaved around previous levels.
Flip Support/Resistance: A broken resistance zone becomes support, while a broken support zone becomes resistance.
This is useful for studying the common market concept of role reversal, where old resistance may act as new support and old support may act as new resistance.
Delete Zone: The zone is completely removed after it breaks. This option is useful for traders who prefer a cleaner chart showing only active zones.
Optional volume filter:
Volume-Confirmed Zones Only can be enabled to filter out lower-volume swing points.
When enabled, the volume of the swing candle must be higher than: Average Volume × Volume Multiplier
For example, with a Volume Multiplier of 1.2, the swing candle’s volume must be greater than 120% of its average volume.
The volume filter is automatically ignored when volume data is unavailable. Volume quality can vary between markets, exchanges and brokers.
Indicator settings
- Swing Length: Controls how significant a swing must be. Lower values create more zones, while higher values create fewer but potentially more significant zones.
- Maximum Zones: Limits the number of active zones displayed. When the limit is exceeded, the oldest active zone is removed.
- ATR Length: Sets the calculation period used to measure volatility.
- Minimum Zone Height: Sets the minimum zone thickness as a multiple of ATR.
- Maximum Zone Height: Prevents zones from becoming excessively wide.
- Merge Overlapping Zones: Combines overlapping or nearby active zones.
- Merge Distance: Controls the ATR-based distance used when deciding whether zones should be merged.
- Maximum Past Zones: Limits how many broken historical zones remain on the chart.
- Past Zone Transparency: Controls how clearly broken zones are displayed.
Alerts
- Built-in alerts
- Zone Touched — price entered a support or resistance zone.
- Resistance Broken — a candle broke above a resistance zone.
- Support Broken — a candle broke a support zone below.
- Set them up from PulseWire's alert dialog: Create Alert → Condition → S/R Zones.
How to use it in trading
🔶Bounce trades: when price falls into a support zone and prints a rejection candle, that's a long setup with a stop just below the zone.
A blue support zone represents an area where buyers previously entered the market.
When price returns to support:
- Wait for price to enter or test the zone.
- Look for evidence that buyers are responding.
- Consider an entry only after confirmation.
- Place the stop beyond the opposite side of the zone, with an appropriate buffer.
- Use the next resistance zone as a possible target.
Possible bullish confirmation includes:
- A candle rejecting the lower part of the zone.
- A long lower wick followed by a bullish close.
- A bullish engulfing candle.
- Price closing back above the support zone.
- Increasing volume during the reaction.
- A higher low forming near the zone.
A support touch by itself is not a long signal. Price can move directly through the zone, especially during a strong downtrend.
Example image below:
🔶Rejection from resistance
A pink resistance zone represents an area where sellers previously entered the market.
When price reaches resistance:
- Wait for price to test the zone.
- Look for signs of selling pressure.
- Consider an entry only after bearish confirmation.
- Place the stop beyond the upper edge of the zone, with a suitable buffer.
- Use the next support zone below as a possible target.
Possible bearish confirmation includes:
- A long upper wick inside the resistance zone.
- A bearish engulfing candle.
- Price entering the zone and closing back below it.
- A lower high forming near resistance.
- Increasing selling volume during the rejection.
A resistance touch alone is not a short signal. Strong bullish momentum can break through resistance without producing a meaningful reversal.
Example image:
🔶Trading a breakout
A breakout occurs when price moves beyond an active zone.
- A break above resistance may indicate increasing bullish strength.
- A break below support may indicate increasing bearish strength.
For more conservative confirmation, select Close under Break Confirmation. In this mode, a resistance zone breaks only after a candle closes above it, while a support zone breaks only after a candle closes below it.
The Wick option reacts as soon as price trades beyond the zone. It responds faster but is more sensitive to temporary spikes and false breakouts.
Before considering a breakout trade, traders may look for:
- A strong candle closing beyond the zone.
- A candle body that closes clearly outside the zone.
- Higher-than-average volume.
- Momentum in the breakout direction.
- Alignment with the broader market trend.
- A successful retest of the broken zone.
🔶Trading a role reversal
Support and resistance can sometimes exchange roles after a breakout.
-Broken resistance may later act as support.
- Broken support may later act as resistance.
Select Flip Support/Resistance under the When Broken setting to display this behaviour automatically.
For example, after price closes above a pink resistance zone, the indicator converts that area into a blue support zone. If price later returns to it, traders can watch for a bullish reaction.
Similarly, when price breaks below blue support, the indicator converts the zone into pink resistance. A later retest may provide an area to watch for bearish confirmation.
Role reversal is a commonly observed price-action concept, but it does not occur successfully after every breakout. Wait for confirmation instead of entering only because price has returned to a flipped zone.
🔶Using zones for targets and stops
Zones can also help organise trade management.
For a long setup:
- A stop may be placed below the support zone.
- The next resistance zone may be used as an initial target.
- A higher resistance zone may be considered as a secondary target if momentum remains strong.
For a short setup:
- A stop may be placed above the resistance zone.
- The next support zone may be used as an initial target.
- A lower support zone may be considered as a secondary target.
Avoid placing the stop exactly on the edge of a zone. Price may briefly move beyond the boundary before reacting. The appropriate buffer depends on the symbol, timeframe, volatility and the trader’s risk plan.
Always calculate the potential risk and reward before entering a trade. A visible zone does not automatically make a setup worth taking.
🔶 Using multiple timeframes
Higher-timeframe zones can provide broader market context, while lower timeframes can help refine entries.
A simple process is:
- Identify important support and resistance on a higher timeframe.
- Determine whether the broader structure is bullish, bearish or ranging.
- Move to the preferred trading timeframe.
- Wait for price to reach a relevant zone.
- Use candle structure, volume or momentum for confirmation.
Higher timeframes generally produce fewer but more widely watched zones. Lower timeframes produce more zones and may contain more market noise.
Support and Resistance Zones help traders identify and manage important price areas with less chart clutter. Its volatility-based sizing, zone merging, break confirmation, role reversal, and alerts make it suitable for different markets and timeframes. Use the zones as areas to watch—not automatic trade signals and always combine them with price confirmation, broader market structure and proper risk management.

Volatility Regime Trend Ribbon [Pineify]Volatility Regime Trend Ribbon
Overview
This overlay adapts smoothing as markets change. It ranks ATR, selects a regime, and adjusts trend speed and ribbon width.
Key Features
Three ATR percentile regimes.
Regime-specific trend lengths and band scales.
Optional colors, confirmed markers, and alerts.
How It Works
ATR is ranked over a rolling window. Low ranks select low volatility, high ranks select high volatility, and middle ranks select normal volatility. Warm-up uses the normal state.
The selected length drives a recursive EMA-style center. Ribbon edges equal the center plus or minus ATR times the base multiplier and regime scale. This is a price boundary, not a statistical confidence interval. Direction turns bullish after a confirmed close above the upper edge, bearish below the lower edge, and otherwise retains its prior state.
Trading Ideas and Insights
Colors separate quiet, ordinary, and elevated ranges. A band exit can frame a direction change; movement inside stays unresolved. Gaps or thin trading can add lag and false transitions. No output is an automatic trade.
How Multiple Indicators Work Together
ATR measures range, percentile rank adds context, adaptive smoothing changes speed, and the band supplies the direction threshold. They form one engine without external data.
Unique Aspects
The original design links volatility to smoothing speed and band scale, not just color. Retained direction inside the band adds hysteresis; alerts distinguish regime and direction changes.
How to Use
Apply it to a liquid market and let the percentile window warm up.
Tune lengths and band scales for the symbol and timeframe.
Read center color as direction and ribbon color as regime.
Use confirmed alerts with independent risk controls.
Customization
ATR Length controls range sensitivity; Percentile Lookback controls context. Thresholds define states, lengths set speed, and band inputs set transition distance. Display layers are optional. Current values can change intrabar; markers and alerts require a confirmed close.
Conclusion
This ribbon organizes volatility regime and ATR percentile context for 15-minute to daily charts. It uses past and present data, remains lagging and parameter-sensitive, and makes no performance claim.

VASA Position Size & ATR Stop vFMost blown accounts come down to one thing: size, not signal. This tool does the math the pros do before every trade. Tell it your account size and how much you're willing to risk on the trade (1% is a sane default), and it places a stop a set number of ATRs away, then tells you exactly how many units that risk budget allows.
What it does: • ATR-based stop distance, long or short • Position size from your account size and risk % • On-chart table: entry, stop, stop distance, dollar risk, units • Entry and stop lines drawn on the chart • No signals, nothing to repaint — it's a calculator
How to use: set your account size and risk % once. Pick your entry (defaults to the current close, or type one in). Read the position size off the table and use it. The idea is boring on purpose — fixed fractional risk is how you survive a losing streak long enough for your edge to show up. Plan from a closed bar so the ATR reading is settled.
Educational only — not financial advice. Position sizing does not remove market risk. Trading involves substantial risk of loss.

Confluence Context - Regime Filter + Market Structure🎯 CONFLUENCE CONTEXT — REGIME FILTER + MARKET STRUCTURE
Your signal tool tells you WHEN. This tells you WHETHER.
Confluence Context — Regime Filter + Market Structure is the companion layer that sits on top of whatever you already trade and answers the one question that wrecks most setups: does the context actually agree? It draws no zones and fires no entries — it reads the environment, scores it, and hands you a single glance-readable verdict. 📊
🔥 WHY IT EXISTS
Most signal tools fire identically in every environment — trending, ranging, dead, or violent. The killer is the clean-looking signal taken in the wrong context: a breakout in a dead session, a continuation against structure, a trend entry while volatility is flatlined. Confluence Context — Regime Filter + Market Structure gates your entry with the four things signal tools love to ignore.
🧩 THE FOUR LAYERS
📐 Market Structure — Swing pivots labeled BOS (Break of Structure, with the trend) and CHoCH (Change of Character, against it), with a running bias: Bullish, Bearish, or Neutral. Confirmed-bar only, capped label history so the chart doesn't clutter.
🌊 Volatility Regime — ATR vs its own moving average, sorting the tape into Low, Normal, or Extreme. This is the regime filter — it tells you whether you're in the environment your strategy was actually built for. Flip on H1 mode to inherit a higher-timeframe regime read from the prior closed 60-min bar, no repaint.
🕐 Session Filter — London / New York / Asia with pair presets (JPY, USD majors, AUD/NZD) or fully custom windows + timezone. Reads the live wall clock, so it flips to "Closed" the moment the market closes instead of freezing on the last in-session bar.
📈 Trend — Price vs a configurable EMA. Simple, and it earns its weight.
These four checks are fused into two weighted tallies instead of shipped as four separate indicators because context only breaks down as a whole — a bullish structure read means nothing if the session is dead and volatility is flat. Splitting them apart would just recreate the blind spot this indicator exists to close.
⚡ HOW THEY STACK (the scoring engine)
Every layer casts a weighted vote into TWO independent tallies — a bull score and a bear score, scored separately so you can actually see when context is fighting itself instead of just being quiet. A fifth slot — External Zone Hit — is a manual toggle (bull and bear separately) you flip the moment YOUR zone or level tool confirms a touch. That's what makes this a companion, not a standalone: it lets your existing setup feed the one input it can't infer.
🎯 THE HIGHLIGHTER
Clear your threshold on the dominant side and the Highlighter collapses both scores into one verdict — Stacked Long, Leaning Long, Balanced, Leaning Short, or Stacked Short. Paint it on the candles, the background, or both. Two candle modes: Verdict Tint paints every bar by net confluence, or BOS/CHoCH Candle paints only the single bar where a structure break confirms, in that event's own label color — a quieter option if you just want structure flips to pop. It confirms context, it doesn't call trades, so it speaks BULLISH / BEARISH, never BUY / SELL.
📋 THE LIVE TABLE
A full breakdown, not just a verdict — all six weighted conditions get their own row with a pass/fail check for both bull and bear, plus ATR, active session, and bias/regime context underneath. An optional oversized headline row sits on top: CONTEXT: BULLISH · Stacked Long · 9 / 2. Six position options, so it never collides with your other panels.
🔔 ALERTS
Structure breaks, all four regime transitions, session opens and full-close, and confluence threshold crosses — all confirmed-bar only. The threshold alerts carry a full payload (symbol, timeframe, direction, score, bias, ATR, session, regime, timestamp) so your webhook or notification has enough context to act on without opening the chart. An optional toggle also alerts when a score drops back below threshold.
🛠️ HOW TO USE IT
Slap it on top of whatever you trade. Tune the EMA, regime multipliers, and session windows to your instrument. Read the verdict off the table or the candle tint — filter your primary signal so you only pull the trigger when context agrees, or let the confluence alert ping you when the dominant side clears threshold.
⏱️ BEST TIMEFRAMES
Built to shine on M15 through H4 — enough structure to mean something, fast enough to act on.
♾️ The whole idea: it stays useful after it's been on your chart for a while.
Repaint policy: structure, regime, and score history evaluate on confirmed bars; the HTF regime read uses a closed-bar offset and doesn't repaint; the session display is live by design and doesn't touch history. Settings are starting points, not advice — tune them to your market and validate before risking capital. Indicator
Khabib Takedown Fractal Nest Breakdown ViprasolKhabib Takedown — Fractal Nest Breakdown 🤼
CONCEPT
This tool looks for SELF-SIMILARITY in a decline: a big bearish leg (lower high -> lower low)
with a smaller bearish leg nested inside it that is a scaled copy — same shape, a fraction of
the size. When the small "fractal" completes in the direction of the big one (a break of the
last low), the structure grounds price -> SHORT. It is a fractal-echo measurement, not a plain
lower-low. The nesting ratio between the small leg and the big leg is the core filter.
HOW IT DETECTS
- Swings are found with confirmed pivot highs/lows (left/right bar lookback) and chained into a
lightweight zigzag.
- The tool reads the last four alternating swings (high, low, high, low).
- Big leg = first high minus first low; small leg = second high minus second low.
- A valid nest requires: lower high and lower low (bearish structure); big leg >= (Min big x ATR);
small leg positive; and the nesting ratio (small/big) inside the band .
- The signal fires when price closes below the most recent swing low and the bar closes red.
- ATR (Wilder) scales the minimum big-leg size across instruments and timeframes.
ENTRY / STOP / TARGET
- Entry: SHORT on the close of the confirming (red) bar that breaks the last low.
- Stop: above the second (inner) swing high plus an ATR buffer (default 0.3 x ATR).
- Target: entry minus R multiple x risk (default 2R, where risk = stop distance).
- The script draws the big leg and the nested small leg, plus filled TP and SL zones that extend
to the right until price touches one of them.
NON-REPAINTING
Pivots are only used once fully confirmed (they require the right-side bars), and the signal is
evaluated on bar close (barstate.isconfirmed). Drawings are created on the confirmed bar. The tool
does not repaint completed signals. Live, the forming bar can still change until it closes, as with
any bar-close tool.
FEATURES
- Fractal nesting (scaled self-similar legs), not a plain lower-low break.
- ATR-scaled minimum big-leg requirement and adjustable nesting-ratio band.
- Automatic R-multiple TP and ATR-buffered SL, drawn as zones that extend until hit.
- One-trade-at-a-time option and a minimum-bars-between-signals gap to reduce clustering.
- On-chart status table (open trades) and an alertcondition for automation.
INPUTS OVERVIEW
- Swing pivot left/right bars: swing sensitivity.
- Nesting ratio band (ratLo/ratHi): how close in scale the small leg must be to the big leg.
- Min big leg (x ATR) and ATR length: minimum move and volatility scaling.
- TP R multiple, SL buffer (x ATR), min bars between signals, one-trade-at-a-time.
- Visual colors, label offset, and zone transparency.
HOW TO USE
1. Add to any liquid symbol and timeframe; start with defaults.
2. Tighten the nesting-ratio band for stricter self-similarity, or widen it for more signals.
3. Raise Min big leg (x ATR) to demand larger, cleaner declines before a nest counts.
4. Use the drawn TP/SL zones for context; set an alert on the signal for hands-off monitoring.
5. Combine with your own trend/context read before acting.
LIMITATIONS
- This is a pattern/education tool, not a signal service, and not financial advice.
- Breakdown patterns fail; nesting geometry is a filter, not a guarantee. Losing signals will occur.
- Pivot confirmation adds inherent lag (it needs bars to the right of a swing to confirm).
- Very choppy or illiquid markets can produce misshapen legs and weak signals.
- Requires user discretion, risk management, and position sizing. No performance is implied.

Reversal Trap Probability Bands Pro [JPT]🔷 OVERVIEW
Reversal Trap Probability Bands Pro is an original Pine Script® indicator that combines volatility bands, ATR, RSI, and volume analysis to estimate the probability of bullish and bearish reversal traps. Instead of relying on a single signal, the indicator calculates a probability score based on multiple technical factors and highlights areas where price may be exhausted and preparing for a reversal.
Designed for traders who monitor trend exhaustion and potential turning points, the indicator provides dynamic probability bands, reversal signals, market bias, and a real-time probability dashboard.
🔷 HOW IT WORKS
The indicator evaluates several market conditions simultaneously to estimate the likelihood of a bullish or bearish reversal.
Bullish Reversal Probability
The bullish probability increases when:
• RSI enters the oversold region
• Price closes below the lower ATR probability band
• Trading volume is above its average
• The candle closes bullish
When the combined probability reaches the defined threshold, a Bullish Reversal signal is generated.
Bearish Reversal Probability
The bearish probability increases when:
• RSI enters the overbought region
• Price closes above the upper ATR probability band
• Trading volume is above its average
• The candle closes bearish
When the combined probability reaches the defined threshold, a Bearish Reversal signal is generated.
🔷 PROBABILITY ENGINE
The indicator combines multiple technical factors into a probability score instead of using a single condition.
The probability model evaluates:
• RSI Momentum
• ATR Volatility
• Price Position Relative to Dynamic Bands
• Volume Confirmation
• Candle Direction
The resulting Bullish and Bearish probabilities are displayed in real time to help traders assess potential reversal conditions.
🔷 VISUAL FEATURES
• Dynamic EMA Basis Line
• ATR-Based Probability Bands
• Extreme Upper Probability Band
• Extreme Lower Probability Band
• Bullish Reversal Signals
• Bearish Reversal Signals
• Probability Zone Background Highlighting
• Real-Time Probability Dashboard
• Market Bias Display
• Customizable Inputs
🔷 PROBABILITY BANDS
The indicator automatically plots:
• EMA Basis
• Upper Probability Band
• Lower Probability Band
• Extreme Upper Band
• Extreme Lower Band
These adaptive bands expand and contract with market volatility, helping identify potential overextended price conditions.
🔷 DASHBOARD
The built-in dashboard displays:
• Bullish Probability (%)
• Bearish Probability (%)
• Current Market Bias
This provides a quick overview of market conditions without requiring manual calculations.
🔷 INPUTS
Available settings include:
• Band Length
• ATR Length
• ATR Multiplier
• RSI Length
• Overbought Level
• Oversold Level
• Volume SMA Length
• Show Reversal Signals
• Show Probability Bands
🔷 ALERTS
Built-in alerts are available for:
• Bullish Reversal Signal
• Bearish Reversal Signal
Alerts can be connected directly to PulseWire's notification system for real-time monitoring.
🔷 COMMON WORKFLOW
A typical workflow is:
Monitor price as it approaches the upper or lower probability bands.
Observe the Bullish and Bearish Probability values in the dashboard.
Wait for a confirmed BUY or SELL reversal signal.
Use additional confirmation such as price action, support and resistance, or market structure before entering a trade.
Apply sound risk management for every position.
🔷 MARKETS
Reversal Trap Probability Bands Pro can be used on:
• Forex
• Gold (XAUUSD)
• Silver (XAGUSD)
• Cryptocurrency
• Stocks
• Indices
• Futures
• Commodities
Compatible with all PulseWire-supported timeframes.
🔷 BEST PRACTICES
Many traders combine this indicator with:
• Market Structure (HH, HL, LH, LL)
• Break of Structure (BOS)
• Change of Character (CHoCH)
• Support & Resistance
• Fibonacci Retracement
• Order Blocks
• Fair Value Gaps (FVG)
• EMA Trend Filters
• Higher Timeframe Analysis
Using multiple forms of confirmation can help improve decision-making around potential reversal zones.
🔷 UPCOMING FEATURES
Future updates may include:
• Multi-Timeframe Probability Analysis
• Trend Strength Filter
• Smart Money Confirmation
• Liquidity Sweep Detection
• ATR-Based Stop Loss Suggestions
• TP1, TP2, TP3 Auto Targets
• Risk/Reward Visualization

Rolling VWAP with SignalsRolling VWAP with Signals
Overview
Rolling VWAP with Signals plots a time-window ("rolling") VWAP with standard deviation bands, and generates filtered buy/sell signals on band breakouts. Unlike a session VWAP, which resets at a fixed anchor such as the start of day or week, this VWAP recalculates continuously over a trailing window that you define, for example the last 10 hours or the last 2 minutes of 3-minute bars. This keeps it adapting on any chart, in any session, in any market, including markets that trade around the clock.
This script is an original extension built on the rolling VWAP concept from Rolling VWAP . It adds standard deviation bands, trend-state coloring, crossover based buy/sell signals, an ATR rising filter, and a VWAP trend-alignment filter, none of which are present in the original.
How It Works
The rolling VWAP is computed by summing price times volume and volume over a trailing time window, then dividing, the standard VWAP formula applied to a moving window instead of a fixed session. The calculation runs on an independent timeframe set by the RVWAP Timeframe input, evaluated with request.security().
Standard deviation bands sit above and below the VWAP at a configurable multiple of the rolling standard deviation, computed with the direct weighted squared deviation method rather than the E minus E ^2 shortcut, which avoids precision loss on high-priced instruments.
smoothedATR = ta.swma(ta.atr(atrLength))
atrRising = not useATRFilter or smoothedATR > smoothedATR
Trend state is bullish when the VWAP is higher than it was one higher-timeframe bar ago and price is above the upper band, and bearish under the mirrored condition. The VWAP line is colored accordingly.
Buy and sell signals fire once, on the bar where price crosses a band, not on every bar price remains outside it:
Buy — close crosses over the upper band
Sell — close crosses under the lower band
Two optional filters narrow signals to higher-conviction setups:
Rising ATR — requires an SWMA-smoothed ATR to be higher than the prior bar, filtering out breakouts occurring while volatility is contracting
RVWAP trend alignment — requires the bullish or bearish trend state described above, so buy only fires in an established uptrend and sell only in an established downtrend
Four alert conditions are available: price above the upper band, price below the lower band, a buy signal, and a sell signal.
Inputs
RVWAP Timeframe — Timeframe the rolling VWAP and standard deviation calculation runs on, independent of the chart timeframe. Default: 1 minute.
RVWAP Time Period (Hours / Minutes) — Length of the trailing window used for the rolling calculation. Shorter windows track faster; longer windows behave more like a session VWAP. Default: 0 hours, 1 minute.
Standard Deviation Multiplier — Distance of the bands from the VWAP, in standard deviations. Lower values give tighter bands and more signals; higher values give wider bands and fewer, stronger signals. Default: 1.618.
Show Standard Deviation Bands — Toggles the band plots and disables buy/sell signals when off, since signals require a band cross. Default: on.
Show Fill Between Bands — Toggles the shaded fill between the upper and lower bands. Default: on.
Smooth VWAP/StdDev — Applies additional smoothing to the VWAP and standard deviation lines for a less-lagged appearance when off, or a smoother, laggier line when on. Default: off.
Require Rising ATR for Signals — Gates buy and sell signals on a rising smoothed ATR. Default: on.
Length — ATR length used by the rising-ATR filter. Default: 14.
Require RVWAP Trend Alignment for Signals — Gates buy signals on a bullish RVWAP trend and sell signals on a bearish RVWAP trend. Default: on.
Upper Band, Lower Band, Fill — Colors for the band lines and the fill between them.
Usage Notes
Requires a data feed that provides volume; the script raises a runtime error if none is available.
The rolling calculation needs a minimum of 10 bars within the window to produce a value; very short windows on sparse data may show gaps.
Rising ATR means the current SWMA-smoothed ATR value is strictly greater than the previous bar's value, a one-bar comparison rather than a multi-bar slope.
Values inside the current, still-forming RVWAP Timeframe bar can update intrabar, as with any request.security() call without a fixed historical offset. Confirmed bars do not repaint.
Disable both signal filters to see every raw band-crossing signal, or enable them independently to trade off signal frequency against signal quality.

Tyson Uppercut Compression Spring Breakout (Viprasol)Tyson Uppercut — Compression Spring Breakout 🥊
(The name is an affectionate combat-sports homage — this is an educational pattern tool, not affiliated with or endorsed by any athlete or organization.)
CONCEPT
A spring loaded by VOLATILITY, not by swings. The tool measures the recent bar-range and requires it to be compressed — noticeably tighter than the window before it (energy coiling). Then the uppercut: one wide-range bar that bursts up out of the compression on the close = the release. Distinct from swing-decay coils; this reads raw range contraction directly from the bars.
HOW IT DETECTS
- Compression is measured on CLOSED bars only: the highest high and lowest low over a window (default 10 bars, offset by one bar).
- That compression range must be tight versus the prior, wider window (default: <= 60% of the range over twice the lookback) AND not larger than a set ATR cap.
- Release: the current bar closes above the compression high, its full bar range is at least a set ATR multiple (default 1.3x ATR), and it closes up (close > open).
- All logic runs on bar close (barstate.isconfirmed). An optional dotted live box previews an active compression before any break.
ENTRY / STOP / TARGET
- Entry: on the confirmed release close (long only).
- Stop: below the compression low, minus an ATR buffer.
- Target: entry + R multiple of risk (default 2R, adjustable).
- Drawn as a solid compression box plus an entry line and filled TP/SL zones that extend right until price touches one; the hit side thickens.
NON-REPAINTING
Compression is read from already-closed bars (a one-bar offset is used), and the release is confirmed on the bar close. A printed signal does not move or disappear afterward. The live dotted preview is informational only and is not a signal.
KEY FEATURES
- Volatility-compression detection from raw range, with an ATR height cap to avoid oversized "boxes".
- Release requires a genuinely wide breakout bar, not just a marginal close.
- Optional live compression preview; option to hide new setups while a trade is active.
- Filled, extend-until-hit TP/SL zones and an on-chart status table (open trades). Alert condition included.
INPUTS OVERVIEW
- The spring: compression window (bars), tightness fraction vs prior window, max compression height (x ATR), release bar range (x ATR), ATR length.
- The knockout: TP as R multiple, SL buffer (x ATR), minimum bars between signals, one-trade-at-a-time, hide-setup-while-in-trade.
- Visuals: compression box / entry / TP / SL colors, label offset, zone transparency, show-live toggle.
HOW TO USE
1. Add to a liquid symbol and timeframe; it is fully overlay-based.
2. Set the compression window and tightness fraction to define how coiled the range must be.
3. Raise the release ATR multiple to demand a stronger breakout bar.
4. Watch the live dotted box to anticipate setups, and study the TP/SL zones on your instrument.
5. Optionally create an alert from the built-in condition.
LIMITATIONS (read this)
- This is a pattern/education tool, not a signal service and not financial advice. It does not predict the future.
- Compression breakouts frequently fail or reverse (false breakouts are common), especially in ranging markets.
- It is long-only by design; it does not trade downside releases.
- Range readings depend on the chosen windows; different settings can materially change what counts as "compressed".

Ronaldo Bicycle Kick Orbit Break Reversal [ Viprasol ]Ronaldo Bicycle Kick — Orbit Break Reversal (Viprasol)
WHAT IT DOES (the idea)
Most reversal tools watch a single line. This one watches a region. It treats recent price structure as a set of confirmed swing points that "orbit" a structural centre of mass, and it trades the moment price escapes that orbit to the upside. Like a ball coiling around a centre and then leaving orbit — that break is the signal. The name is a sporting homage to a spectacular finish; the tool itself is pure geometry.
HOW IT DETECTS
1. Swings: a lightweight zigzag keeps the last several confirmed pivots. A pivot is only accepted after the required number of bars close to its right, so swings do not move once printed.
2. Orbit geometry: from the last K swings (default 6) it computes the geometric centroid — the mean bar position and mean price. It then measures the average (root-mean-square) distance those swings sit from the centroid price. That distance, scaled by "Orbit radius," becomes the orbit ring. A minimum radius floor (in ATR) filters out flat, meaningless rings.
3. Escape: the setup arms only when the orbit is valid. The signal fires on the first bar that CLOSES above the top of the orbit ring (centroid price + radius) having closed at or below it on the prior bar.
ENTRY / STOP / TARGET
- Entry: the close of the escape bar (long only).
- Stop: the lowest swing price inside the orbit, minus an ATR buffer.
- Target: Entry + R multiple x risk (default 2R), where risk = Entry - Stop.
Each trade draws an entry line plus filled TP and SL zones that extend forward bar by bar until price touches one of them, then freeze.
NON-REPAINTING
Signals are built from confirmed pivots and only evaluated on a confirmed (closed) bar. Nothing is placed on the developing bar, so a printed signal does not disappear or shift on later ticks. The dotted "live orbit" preview is a forward-looking sketch of the current geometry and is not a signal.
KEY FEATURES
- A real orbit ellipse is drawn around the centroid so you can see the ring being broken.
- Extend-until-hit TP/SL zones with a one-trade-at-a-time option.
- Optional hide-new-setup-while-in-trade to reduce clutter.
- Adjustable pivot width, swing count, orbit radius, ATR floor, R multiple, stop buffer, and a minimum-bars-between-signals gap.
INPUTS OVERVIEW
Swing pivot left/right bars; swings used for the orbit; minimum swings for validity; orbit radius multiplier; minimum orbit radius in ATR; ATR length; TP R multiple; SL ATR buffer; signal gap; one-trade toggle; visual colours and label offset.
HOW TO USE
1. Add to any liquid symbol and timeframe; it works on all.
2. Watch for the dotted orbit ring to form around recent structure.
3. Take note when a bar closes above the ring and the GOAL label prints.
4. Use the drawn entry, TP, and SL zones as a visual trade map; adjust the R multiple and stop buffer to your own plan.
5. Raise the pivot width or ATR floor on noisy, low-timeframe charts to demand cleaner structure.
LIMITATIONS (honest)
- This is a pattern and education tool, not a signal service or an autotrading system. It highlights a geometric condition; it does not predict outcomes.
- Long-only by design. It will not flag downside setups.
- In strong one-way trends the orbit ring can be escaped repeatedly; in choppy ranges valid orbits may be sparse. Context and discretion still matter.
- Requiring confirmed pivots means the orbit is defined slightly after a swing forms, which is the cost of non-repainting behaviour.
- Past behaviour of any pattern does not guarantee future results.

Supertrend Twincore [MachineSuiteAI]Supertrend Twincore
🟦 OVERVIEW
A fast Supertrend flips too often; a slow one flips too late. This script runs both at once and only signals when they agree — and then shows you, with win rates and sample sizes, how that agreement has actually performed on the chart you have loaded.
A signal only appears where the fast core (timing) and the slow core (structure) first align, and only if it passes a gate: clustered whipsaw flips always suppress, and every other filter blocks signals only where measurement shows it helps on this chart. Passed signals are graded A/B/C and draw an Entry / SL / TP1-3 ladder whose outcomes are tracked per grade. Suppressed candidates stay as grey ghost chips with the reason, and a five-row multi-timeframe strip shows the consensus state across timeframes from completed bars.
The idea throughout: the chart never claims more than the data supports, and anything the script believes is checkable in the panel.
🟦 WHAT IS A SUPERTREND?
Supertrend is a public-domain trailing-stop indicator: it offsets price by a multiple of the Average True Range and trails that stop behind the trend. Price above the stop means uptrend, below means downtrend; a close across it flips the state. This script computes its cores with the built-in ta.supertrend() — fast 2.0 × ATR(10) and slow 4.0 × ATR(20) by default.
Its known weakness is structural: in ranging markets the stop is repeatedly crossed and the indicator whipsaws. Filters are the usual answer; this script measures whether each one actually helps on the loaded symbol and timeframe, and the marks and the gate act only on that evidence.
🟦 WHY THIS SCRIPT IS ORIGINAL
The base calculation is a built-in, and the ingredients — win-rate panels, ADX gates, higher-timeframe confirmation, multi-timeframe dashboards, take-profit ladders, signal grades — are established ideas. What's different is the standard everything must meet: beyond one fixed whipsaw rule, nothing gets drawn, nothing blocks a signal, and nothing drives the engine unless the measurements on the loaded chart back it up.
- Graded ladder odds with the cost attached. Grades are fixed and published — A means structural confirmation plus volume, B one of the two, C neither; no opaque score. Every passed signal's ladder is tracked to resolution; the panel shows per grade: TP1-before-SL and SL-first rates, the median furthest level, the median heat (largest adverse move, in ATR units) and the median bars to TP1, each with its own sample size.
- An adaptive engine that has to beat the fixed one first. Both fast cores — fixed and adaptive — are measured as separate signal streams on the loaded chart, and the adaptive core only drives signals while it beats the fixed core by a set margin with enough samples. The A/B row shows the running comparison; on defaults it reports the adaptive layer as inert.
- Gates held to the same standard. The ✓ volume mark and ⚠ counter-trend warning only print where their split beats the base win rate by a configurable margin here. The ADX gate only blocks candidates where high-ADX candidates have beaten low-ADX candidates by that margin on this chart.
- Per-condition win-rate splits. The base candidate win rate, then the same measurement split by signal class, higher-timeframe agreement, volume confirmation, multi-timeframe alignment and volatility regime — six statistics, each with its own sample size, greyed below a minimum sample.
- Two kinds of signals, measured separately. A candidate exists only on the first bar the cores align and is classified as a structural confirmation (the slow core just flipped in) or a pullback rejoin (the fast core returned to a standing slow trend); a double flip on one bar is labeled same-bar. They are different trades, measured separately.
- Suppression you can audit. A gated-out candidate still prints — a hollow grey ghost chip with the specific reason — and still counts in every statistic, so the base rate is never inflated by counting only the survivors.
- Visual discipline. The band claims a direction only while both cores agree; its saturation drains as price nears the structural stop, so the exit warning arrives before the flip; NEUTRAL keeps a directional tint, so the last trend stays readable while standing aside. The price scale is held to the same rule — it carries the structural stop and the ladder's Entry, SL and TP1-3, each in its own colour, and nothing else; the band and the fast core draw on the chart but claim no axis label. Every visual property maps to something measured.
🟦 HOW IT WORKS
- Cores: two standard Supertrends — the fast core times entries, the slow core defines structure and is the ladder's trailing stop. Presets: Scalp 1.5×ATR(7)/3.0×ATR(14), Intraday 2.0×ATR(10)/4.0×ATR(20), Swing 3.0×ATR(14)/5.0×ATR(28), or Custom.
- Gate and state model: flip-cluster suppression (2+ fast flips in 10 bars, on by default), the measured ADX gate (default "Where it helps (measured)"), and an optional strict higher-timeframe gate (off by default). The band turns grey NEUTRAL on low ADX (default ADX(14) < 20) or flip clustering.
- Higher-timeframe filter: a third Supertrend one regime up (auto-mapped ≤15m→4H, ≤1H→1D, ≤4H→3D, ≤1D→1W, else 1M; or manual), read from the last completed HTF bar.
- Statistics: on confirmed bars, every candidate — passed and suppressed — resolves N bars later (default 10); a win means the close moved in its direction. Splits grey below the minimum sample (default 20). Chip marks need their split to beat the base rate by ≥3 points (configurable); the ADX gate needs the high-ADX split to beat the low-ADX split by the same margin; volume confirmation is volume above 1.5× its 20-bar average.
- Ladder: at a passed signal's close, Entry is the close, SL is the slow-core stop (or the fast core, or a fixed k×ATR cap), TP1/2/3 default to 1/2/3 × ATR. It trails, marks TP touches ✓, freezes ✕ on an SL break, dims when resolved or consensus is lost, and feeds the per-grade LADDER ODDS rows. A live ladder tracks the right edge of the chart; once its stop is hit it stops there, so it stays a bounded record of that trade — targets it never reached are not credited later just because price eventually passed them, and the frozen right edge makes clear the trade was already over. The stop's ray spans only the stretch where that level was actually in force, because a trailing stop is a staircase rather than one line: on a long it starts below the entry and can ratchet above it, locking in profit, and the amber slow core shows the whole path. Each level prints its exact price on the price scale, so the figure for an order ticket reads straight off the axis while the chart labels stay short. The colours carry the geometry: entry green, the targets in the trade's own direction and the stop in the opposite hue, so the level that ends a trade never reads like the levels that pay it — and the slow core keeps its amber, so the stop stays distinguishable from the line it trails.
- Adaptive engine: a per-volatility-regime fast core A/B-measured against the fixed one, as described above; default factors are inert.
- MTF strip: five rows of full consensus state (UP / DOWN / SPLIT / NEUTRAL, with bars-in-state), each read from that timeframe's last completed bar. Auto mode starts at the chart's own timeframe and climbs — 4H gives 4H/D/W/M/3M. Lower timeframes are omitted by default: their consensus flips many times during a single trade taken here, so it says little about an outcome measured over days. Manual mode accepts any five, defaulting to the classic 15m/1H/4H/D/W.
🟦 HOW TO USE IT
- Read the panel first: consensus state, cores, regime, HTF agreement, then the measured rows. An ↑ means that condition has earned its margin on this chart; its absence means it hasn't.
- Chips carry their evidence: grade letter, live per-grade TP1 odds at sufficient sample, ✓ where volume has helped, ⚠ where fighting the higher timeframe has hurt. Ghost chips mean the script stood aside — the reason is on the chip.
- NEUTRAL and SPLIT mean stand aside. The coach line says this in plain language, and notes that a retouch of the entry after TP1 does not invalidate a live ladder — only the SL does.
- Reversal-only signal mode reserves the headline presentation for slow-core reversals; Discipline display mode strips the chart to the band alone (note: TP/SL alerts only fire while the ladder is drawn).
- Defaults are tuned on liquid crypto from 15-minute to weekly charts; the multipliers and ADX threshold are worth reviewing on other asset classes.

Create the classic alert conditions with "Once Per Bar Close" — they evaluate on live bars, and an intrabar state can revert before it counts. Optional JSON alert() events via a single "Any alert() function call" alert: signal events carry grade, entry and levels; TP/SL events identify the touched level; all carry symbol, timeframe, regime and state. The JSON events are close-gated and fire for every passed candidate, including rejoins the Reversal-only display mode demotes.
🟦 REPAINT & DATA NOTES
- All bookkeeping runs on confirmed bars; chips, ladders and statistics commit at bar close. Inside a forming bar the panel's consensus, cores, agreement, volume and coach line update live and are therefore PROVISIONAL — they can revert before the bar shuts. Price can also sit beyond a ladder's stop for the rest of a bar without resolving it: in the core SL modes the stop breaks when that core flips, which needs a confirmed close. The coach line says so when it happens.
- Higher-timeframe and strip values come from each timeframe's last completed bar — no repaint; intrabar changes up there show after that bar closes. The design assumes the HTF sits above the chart's timeframe — with Manual selection, keep it there.
- Ladder TP touches — and the Fixed mode's hard-stop touches — are detected from confirmed bars' highs/lows, starting the bar after entry; a bar touching several levels credits TPs before the stop. In the core SL modes the stop is not touch-based: it resolves only when its core flips, which needs a confirmed close — so a wick through the stop does not end a ladder, and the touch-credited TP rates are structurally friendlier than a hard-stop backtest of the same levels. The Fixed k×ATR mode is the geometry closest to a real hard stop.
- Statistics cover the loaded history and reset when the chart reloads with different history; lower timeframes load fewer bars. Greyed rows just mean the sample is too small to trust.
- Only the most recent 250 chips and ghost chips stay on the chart, so a live ladder's own labels can never be pushed off by PulseWire's drawing limit; deep history keeps its band and cores but not its markers. Ladder odds count each ladder when it resolves, and in the rare case that more than 30 are open at once the oldest is counted at its current state rather than discarded — the sample is never silently trimmed.
- On a live bar the volume ratio is partial; judge it near the close. Volume features require a feed that supplies volume.
🟦 CREDITS
The Supertrend concept is public domain (popularized by Olivier Seban); ATR, ADX and the DMI are J. Welles Wilder's. The fixed cores use PulseWire's built-in ta.supertrend(); the adaptive core re-implements the same algorithm to accept a per-bar factor. The consensus model, candidate classes, statistics engine, gates, grades, measured ladder, ghost chips, strip and band rendering were written from scratch for this script.
🟦 LIMITATIONS
- Supertrend lags by construction, and requiring two cores to agree makes entries later still — fewer, later, more heavily filtered signals is the intended trade-off.
- The NEUTRAL state derives from lagging measures (ADX, flip counts), so the first signals of a new trend can still arrive grey or be suppressed.
- All statistics are direction-only measurements over a fixed horizon; ladder odds are level measurements (TPs credit on a wick touch, core-mode stops resolve only on a confirmed core flip) — no fees, slippage, sizing or equity math. They are not a strategy backtest, they differ per symbol and timeframe, and they do not predict future outcomes.
- Without volume data the volume filter and its split stay inactive, and certified Grade A (confirmation + volume) is out of reach — signals cap at Grade B on volume-less feeds. Sample sizes on higher timeframes are structurally small; expect greyed rows there.
- The same asset on two different venues can show opposite states. A Supertrend flip is a threshold event: when price sits within a fraction of a percent of the band, a normal inter-exchange spread of a few basis points decides whether it crosses, and once one venue flips its stop jumps to the other side of price, so two nearly identical charts diverge sharply. This is inherent to the calculation, not a data error — treat a signal as belonging to the feed it was measured on, and check the panel's sample sizes on the venue you actually trade.

Compression Breakout & Follow-Through Scoring [SlatinaTrades]🌀 Compression Breakout & Follow-Through Scoring — grades the coil, then checks its own homework.
Most squeeze/compression tools flag a tight range and stop there. This one also tracks what happens after the break — and separates completed setups by quartile to show whether the coil's tightness or the breakout candle's quality actually predicted the outcome, instead of assuming either one does.
THE MECHANICS
🧊 Compression detection — three conditions have to hold together: box range ≤ a multiple of base-ATR (C1), Bollinger Band width inside a squeeze percentile (C2), and a minimum dwell in confirmed bars (C3). All three gate the coil; none of them alone is enough.
🔒 State machine — COILING → PRIMED → BREAKOUT (up/down) → HELD or FAILED, with EXPIRED for coils that age out unbroken. The box freezes on arm (tighten-only re-lock while PRIMED — it can tighten further, never widen), so what you see is a committed level, not a moving target.
📊 Tightness score (0–100) — weighted blend of C1 margin, C2 depth, and dwell length. Grades how genuine the compression is, not just whether it cleared a threshold.
🎯 Break-quality score (0–100) — weighted blend of close location, body ratio, range expansion vs ATR14, and where volatility sits inside a regime band (mid-band scores highest; dead or chaotic extremes score low).
📈 Follow-through score (0–100) — tracks maximum favorable excursion beyond the broken edge over a fixed window, capped at a set ATR multiple. A break that reclaims the level before the window closes is scored FAILED instead.
SEPARATION HARNESS — the honesty check
A stats table bins every completed setup (HELD or FAILED) into quartiles two ways: by tightness score and by break-quality score. Each quartile reports mean follow-through in ATR units and reclaim rate. If a score's Q4 looks like its Q1, that score isn't doing the work it claims to — the table shows you that plainly instead of asking you to trust a single headline number.
NON-REPAINT
Every state transition and every follow-through update runs on barstate.isconfirmed. The box freezes the moment a coil arms. The optional HTF alignment read uses a closed-bar offset (lookahead_on + gaps_off on ) and is a flag only — it never gates the state machine.
WHAT IT IS NOT
Not a strategy. No entries, no stops, no targets, no risk sizing anywhere in this script. Bidirectional context only — it tells you a coil compressed and how the break resolved, not what to do about it. Settings are starting points, not recommendations; tune box length, dwell, and weights to what you're trading and validate before risking anything on it.
ALERTS
New Coil Primed · Bull Breakout · Bear Breakout · Follow-Through Confirmed · Reclaim. All gated to confirmed bars, all carry numeric state/score payloads for automation.
Still useful after it's been on your chart a while — every read maps to a concrete decision about whether this coil is worth watching. Indicator
Adaptive SuperTrend AI - Regime-Tuned [Dots3Red]📈 ADAPTIVE SUPERTREND AI — REGIME-TUNED
Classic SuperTrend uses one fixed ATR multiplier forever. That single number is a compromise: tight enough to track trends closely, it whipsaws during ranges; wide enough to survive ranges, it lags badly once a real trend starts. This script replaces the fixed multiplier with one that changes based on what kind of market is actually happening, using the same regime-detection engine shared across the Dots3Red catalog.
🧠 THE REGIME ENGINE
Every bar is classified into one of four states using ADX and the Choppiness Index together:
• 📈 TRENDING — ADX confirms directional strength and Choppiness confirms low chop
• 🔁 RANGING — the opposite: weak directional strength, high chop
• ⚡ VOLATILE — current ATR has expanded well beyond its baseline, regardless of direction or chop
• ❔ UNCERTAIN — none of the above conditions are clearly met
The raw regime reading is smoothed by taking the most frequent classification over a short lookback window, so a single noisy bar can't flip the regime label back and forth.
🤔 WHY RANGING GETS THE WIDEST BAND, NOT TRENDING
This is the part that looks backwards at first glance, so it's worth explaining directly. A ranging market chops back and forth around a mean — if the band were narrow here, ordinary noise would cross it constantly, causing false flips. So RANGING gets the widest multiplier (default 3.5×), letting normal chop stay inside the band. A TRENDING market is moving with genuine conviction, so a moderate multiplier (default 2.5×) tracks the move closely without giving back excessive profit before flipping on an actual reversal. VOLATILE conditions get the widest multiplier of all (default 4.5×) as a purely defensive setting, since sudden expansion is unpredictable by nature.
When the regime changes, the active multiplier doesn't jump to its new value instantly — it glides toward it over a configurable number of bars. This prevents the band from visibly teleporting on a regime transition, which would otherwise look jarring and could itself trigger a false flip right at the transition point.
The underlying band mechanics — the ratcheting upper/lower band logic, and a flip only when price closes beyond the active band — are the same as classic SuperTrend. Only the multiplier driving the band width is dynamic.
✅ THE CONFIDENCE LAYER
A SuperTrend flip is a single binary event: price crossed the band, direction changed. This script adds a secondary read on how convincing that flip actually is, using 8 independent checks against the new direction:
1. Close vs. a trend moving average
2. MACD histogram sign
3. Recent higher-high / lower-low structure
4. Close vs. the SuperTrend's own midline (hl2)
5. RSI side of 50
6. +DI vs. -DI dominance
7. Volume above its moving average on a trend-direction bar
8. Whether the regime is currently TRENDING
Every confirmed flip shows this count directly on its label — "▲ 6/8" means 6 of the 8 checks currently agree with the new uptrend. A flip with 7/8 agreement and one with 3/8 are treated identically by the raw band mechanics, but this layer gives a way to distinguish a well-supported flip from a marginal one at a glance.
🎯 FLIP WIN-RATE TRACKING
Each flip is graded once the following flip occurs: did price actually finish above the flip price (for an up-flip) or below it (for a down-flip) by the time direction changed again? This produces a running win rate — for example "58% (n=34)" — shown in the dashboard. It is a simple, honest measure of how the flips on this specific chart have actually played out, not a backtest or a promise about future flips.
🔒 NON-REPAINTING
Flips, confidence readings, and labels are all evaluated only on confirmed (closed) bars. A flip that appears on the chart will not later disappear or move to a different bar as new price data arrives.
🎨 VISUALS AND CUSTOMIZATION
The SuperTrend line and gradient fill are colored by current direction. Flip labels appear directly on confirmed flip bars with their confidence count. An optional background tint can shade the chart by current regime. All four core colors (bullish, bearish, volatile/warning, and uncertain/neutral) are fully customizable in settings, independent of the script's default palette.
The dashboard (position configurable) shows: current direction, current regime, the active ATR multiplier, the confidence count with a progress bar, the running flip win rate, and the raw ADX, Choppiness, and ATR ratio readings behind the regime classification.
🧭 HOW TO USE
👀 Reading the line and fill — the colored line and gradient fill show current direction at a glance. This is the same information classic SuperTrend gives you; the difference here is in how the band width behind that line was chosen.
🧠 Check the regime before trusting the band width — the dashboard's Regime row tells you why the band is currently as wide (or narrow) as it is. A band that looks unusually wide isn't a bug — it likely means the engine has classified the market as RANGING or VOLATILE and widened defensively. Knowing the current regime helps set expectations for how the band will behave if conditions stay the same.
✅ Use the confidence count to gauge flip quality, not to filter flips — every flip is real and non-repainting regardless of its confidence count. The count is a lens for judging how broadly supported a given flip is, not a gate that decides whether one occurs. A "▲ 7/8" flip and a "▲ 3/8" flip both mean the band was crossed; the number tells you how much independent agreement existed at that moment, which is useful context when deciding how much weight to put on that particular signal versus your own analysis.
🎯 Watch the flip win rate as a running self-check on this chart — because it only starts once flips have accumulated and been graded, treat an early or low-sample win rate as inconclusive rather than a verdict. It becomes more informative the longer the script runs on a given symbol and timeframe.
🔔 Regime changes are themselves informative — the alert for a regime change fires independently of any flip. A shift from RANGING to TRENDING, for example, can be useful context on its own, since it signals the band is about to glide toward a different multiplier even before any flip occurs.
🚫 This script describes band behavior, not entries or exits — it does not tell you when to open or close a position. Use it as one input alongside price action, structure, and whatever other analysis you already rely on.

Volatility Corridor - Quantized Equilibrium LevelsMost range and channel tools slide. The midline is a moving average, so it moves on every bar, and the levels drawn from it move with it. That makes them fine as a trend read and close to useless as levels, because the level you looked at ten bars ago is no longer where you left it.
Volatility Corridor does the opposite. It holds still, and then it jumps.
HOW THE CORRIDOR IS BUILT
An equilibrium anchor sits at the centre of the corridor. Once placed, it is frozen. It does not drift, it does not smooth, it does not respond to anything at all until price closes more than one volatility step away from it.
When that happens, the anchor jumps by a whole number of steps in the direction of the breach, lands at the new location, re-measures its step size from ATR at that exact moment, and freezes again.
Three bands are drawn one step apart above the anchor and three below, giving seven horizontal levels: S3, S2, S1, EQ, R1, R2, R3. Because the anchor and the step are both frozen between jumps, every one of those levels is a genuine flat horizontal line for the entire life of the corridor. Across a chart the result is a staircase of stable shelves rather than a wave, and the jump bars are marked so the history of the structure is readable at a glance.
The quantization matters. The anchor moves by whole steps, never by fractions, so successive corridors line up on a common grid instead of drifting off it. When price returns to an area it traded weeks ago, the corridor tends to rebuild on the same shelves rather than near them.
WHAT IS ON THE CHART
Seven stepline levels, thickest at the equilibrium.
Six filled bands between them, darkening toward the outer edges, so the corridor reads instantly without inspecting a single number.
Candles tinted by their position inside the corridor, running from the lower colour at the bottom edge through neutral at equilibrium to the upper colour at the top.
Background tint whenever price is trading fully outside the corridor.
Price labels on every level at the right edge, in four selectable sizes.
Jump markers at the top and bottom of the pane showing every bar the corridor re-anchored, and in which direction.
SETUPS
Two setups are defined, and either can be switched off.
Reversion. Price has pushed into the outer band and closes back inside it while still on its own side of equilibrium. The stop is the far outer level, and the targets are the levels above: equilibrium first, then the next band, then the one after that. The reasoning is that a corridor that is holding will pull price back toward its centre, and the level structure already provides the map for that journey.
Breakout. Price closes fully beyond the outer level of the corridor. The stop is the first level back inside, and the targets are projected one, two and three steps beyond the corridor edge, on the same grid the corridor itself uses.
In both cases the stop and the targets are structural levels, not multiples of risk. Nothing is placed at an arbitrary distance. The stop is where the structure would be wrong, and the targets are the next shelves on the grid.
Only one setup is tracked at a time. A new signal cannot silently replace an unresolved one.
The panel keeps a record of whether the first target or the stop was reached first, and prints collecting rather than a percentage until the sample is large enough to mean anything. That number is a narrow measurement of one mechanical rule, not a backtest, and it says nothing about what a trader who moved a stop or scaled out would have achieved.
SETTINGS
Step Size is the one dial that matters. It sets the width of a single band in ATR terms, and therefore how far price must travel to force a jump. Larger values give wider, rarer, more significant corridors. Smaller values give a tighter grid that re-anchors often.
Volatility Length sets the ATR lookback used to measure a step at each anchor. Longer is more stable.
Everything else is cosmetic: fills, candle painting, label size, level thickness, background tint.
REPAINTING
The anchor, the step size, the jumps, the setups and the alerts all evaluate on confirmed bars only. A level that is drawn is final for the life of the corridor and is never moved retroactively. The script requests no higher timeframe data.
READING IT
Equilibrium is the fair value the corridor is currently defending. Price oscillating around it is a market with no directional decision.
The outer bands are where the current corridor stops being an adequate description of price. Price reaching them means one of two things is about to happen: it is rejected and the corridor holds, or it closes through and the whole structure jumps to a new shelf. Both are tradable and both have a setup defined for them.
A corridor that survives many bars is a market that has agreed on value. A rapid sequence of jumps in one direction is a trend, and the jump markers make that sequence obvious even when the candles do not.
This is an analysis tool, not financial advice, and not a trading system. The setups are two mechanically defined patterns, and no pattern has an edge on its own. Use it with your own risk management and position sizing. Indicator

The "Auto Fibo Multi-Channel Reversal Retest" script, developed by WiselyWealth, is a highly advanced, multi-layered technical analysis tool built using Pine Script v6. Its primary purpose is to identify high-probability market reversal zones by aggressively filtering out market noise and false breakouts.
Unlike traditional indicators that rely on a single mathematical concept, this system is engineered to demand confluence from four distinct technical dimensions before confirming a trade setup: volatility boundaries, momentum exhaustion, dynamic structural support/resistance, and an execution retest protocol. This script is specifically designed for analytical traders who prioritize setup quality over sheer quantity, aiming to catch precise pivot points in the market while optimizing the risk-to-reward ratio through delayed, confirmed entries.
Working Mechanism: How the Script Detects Signals
The core strength of this script lies in its rigorous, four-step filtering engine. A final "Buy" or "Sell" signal is only painted on the chart when price action satisfies all of the following technical criteria consecutively:
1. Multi-Channel Volatility Extremes (The Boundary Check):
The script features a dual-channel trigger system, allowing users to select a primary and secondary volatility band or price channel. The available options include Bollinger Bands, Keltner Channels, Donchian Channels, Envelopes, and Linear Regression. The algorithm calculates the mathematical upper and lower bounds of these selected systems. For a setup to even begin formulating, the asset's price must simultaneously pierce or touch the extreme outer boundaries of *both* selected channels (for example, the low of the candle must be equal to or lower than both the primary lower band and the secondary lower band). This ensures the market is severely overextended and deviating heavily from its historical mean.
2. Reversal Signatures and Momentum Exhaustion (The Trigger):
Once price reaches the extreme boundaries, the script scans for a reversal catalyst. It detects foundational candlestick patterns, specifically Bullish and Bearish Engulfing candles, as well as Pinbars like Hammers and Shooting Stars. Furthermore, it incorporates momentum oscillators by scanning for Relative Strength Index (RSI) crossovers from overbought or oversold territories, alongside Stochastic oscillator crosses (below 20 for buys, above 80 for sells). This ensures the structural overextension is accompanied by a genuine, measurable shift in buying or selling pressure.
3. Dynamic Auto-Fibonacci Proximity (The Structural Filter):
To prevent taking reversals in the middle of a chart with no structural backing, the script automatically calculates a macro range by identifying the highest high and lowest low over a user-defined lookback period (defaulting to 100 bars). It dynamically plots key Fibonacci retracement levels (0.000, 0.236, 0.382, 0.500, 0.618, 0.786, and 1.000). A raw reversal signal is only validated if the price action occurs within a strict, customizable percentage tolerance (defaulting to 0.5% of the range) of these specific Fibonacci levels. This mathematical check guarantees that trades are only considered at major, historically proven support or resistance zones.
4. The ATR-Based Retest Engine (The Execution Delay):
This is the script's most robust feature. Even if all prior conditions are perfectly met, the script does not immediately issue a final order. Instead, it enters a "pending trend" state and calculates a required "Retest Price" using the Average True Range (ATR).
For a Buy setup, it subtracts a user-defined ATR multiplier (default 1.0) from the close price.
The system then waits for up to a maximum number of candles (default 4 bars) for the price to pull back and touch this specific delayed level.
If the price successfully drops to the retest level within the time limit, the final Buy order is fired and painted on the chart. This engine prevents traders from buying the absolute top of a fake-out and secures a significantly safer entry price.
How to Use: Settings and Optimal Market Conditions
Recommended Configuration & Settings:
Channel Confluence: Pairing Bollinger Bands as System 1 and Keltner Channels as System 2 is highly recommended. Because Bollinger Bands measure standard deviation and Keltner Channels measure ATR, requiring price to break both ensures you are capturing true volatility anomalies (often referred to as a "Volatility Squeeze" reversal).
Retest Engine Tuning: The default ATR multiplier of 1.0 with a 4-bar max wait limit provides a balanced, conservative approach. If you find that valid signals are expiring before execution because the market runs away too quickly, you should either increase the "Max Candles to wait" to 6-8 bars or lower the "Retest Value" to 0.5 for shallower pullbacks.
Fibonacci Tolerance: Keep the "Fibo Level Tolerance" relatively tight (between 0.3% and 0.8%). Expanding it too much defeats the purpose of precision support and resistance filtering.
Suitable Markets and Timeframes:
This indicator thrives in mean-reverting and broadly ranging market conditions, making it exceptionally well-suited for high-liquidity Forex pairs (such as EUR/USD or GBP/JPY), major Cryptocurrencies, and Equity Indices.
Optimal Timeframes: It performs best on medium to higher timeframes, such as the 15-minute, 1-hour, or 4-hour charts. Lower timeframes (like 1-minute or 3-minute charts) contain too much micro-volatility, which may cause erratic Fibonacci plotting and premature retest triggers.
Trend Context: By default, the script takes both Buy and Sell signals ("Trade Direction: Both"). However, in a strong macro-trending market, users should actively utilize the Trade Direction setting to take only pullbacks in the direction of the dominant trend. For example, selecting "Buy Only" during a structural bull market will filter out dangerous counter-trend short positions. Indicator
Fractal ZigZag with Retest & Filters By WiselyWealthIndicator ; Fractal ZigZag with Retest & Filters
Introduction
Welcome to the comprehensive guide for the 'Fractal ZigZag with Retest & Filters' indicator. This custom-built Pine Script indicator is an advanced technical analysis tool designed explicitly for the PulseWire platform. At its core, the primary objective of this script is to provide traders with high-probability entry signals by systematically filtering out market noise, avoiding false breakouts, and ensuring alignment with the overarching macroeconomic trend.
Many retail traders fall into the trap of entering positions during sudden, volatile price spikes, only to suffer heavy drawdowns when the market naturally pulls back. This script mitigates that risk by enforcing a strict, rules-based approach: identifying structural shifts, confirming the initial breakout, and mathematically demanding a pullback (or "retest") before issuing a final trading signal. Additionally, it features built-in alert conditions, making it perfectly suited for algorithmic traders who wish to automate their strategies via Webhooks, Telegram bots, or MT5 API integrations.
Technical Mechanism
The mechanical operation of this script is multi-layered, relying on a confluence of structural mapping, trend filtering, and volatility-based retest calculations. Here is a detailed, step-by-step technical breakdown of how the script detects and generates its buy and sell signals:
Mapping Market Structure with Williams Fractals:The foundation of the script relies on identifying key swing highs and swing lows using Williams Fractals. By default, the indicator evaluates a 5-bar lookback and look-forward period to pinpoint these structural pivots. Once a valid upward or downward fractal is identified, the script connects them using a dynamic ZigZag line. This creates an unambiguous visual map of the market's underlying structure, cleanly displaying the sequence of higher highs or lower lows.
Initial Breakout Identification: The indicator actively monitors the current closing price in relation to the most recently confirmed fractal levels. A raw bullish breakout is registered the moment a candle closes definitively above the last established fractal high. Conversely, a raw bearish breakout is noted when the closing price drops below the most recent fractal low. To prevent redundant alerts, the script locks the current trend state upon a successful breakout.
The ATR-Based Retest Engine: This is the most sophisticated aspect of the indicator. When "Enable Retest Mode" is activated, the script refuses to issue an immediate entry signal at the exact moment of the breakout. Instead, it uses the Average True Range (ATR) over a 14-period lookback to measure current market volatility. For a bullish setup, it calculates a "Retest Target" by subtracting a user-defined ATR multiplier (default 1.0) from the breakout close price. It then starts a countdown timer, allowing a maximum number of candles (default 3) for the price to drop back down and touch this target. If the pullback is successful within the time limit, the raw buy signal is triggered. If the time expires without a retest, the setup is safely invalidated.
Macro Trend Filtering: Before finalizing any signal, the script consults a 200-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA). If the trend filter is enabled, a buy signal is entirely suppressed unless the closing price is strictly above the EMA200. Sell signals similarly require the price to remain below the EMA200. Users can also force the script into a "Buy Only" or "Sell Only" mode to align with their long-term directional bias.
How to Use and Best Practices
To extract maximum profitability and accuracy from this script, traders must apply the correct settings and deploy it in appropriate market environments.
Recommended Settings and Configuration:
Conservative Swing Trading: Ensure the EMA200 Trend Filter remains enabled to keep you on the side of institutional momentum. You may also want to increase the Fractal Periods from 5 to 7 or 9. This filters out minor price fluctuations and forces the script to base its breakouts on major structural swing points.
Retest Calibration for Volatility:** The default ATR multiplier is 1.0, and the wait limit is 3 candles. If you are trading on lower timeframes (e.g., 5-minute or 15-minute charts), breakouts can take slightly longer to retest. Consider increasing the "Max Candles to wait" to 5 or 6. For highly volatile assets, increasing the ATR Multiplier to 1.5 can help you secure a deeper, more favorable pullback entry.
Directional Lock: If higher timeframe analysis dictates a strong bull market, use the "Trade Direction" setting to restrict signals to "Buy Only," eliminating counter-trend noise during minor market corrections.
Suitable Markets and Timeframes:
Forex and Indices: This indicator performs exceptionally well on major Forex pairs (EUR/USD, GBP/JPY) and Global Indices (US30, NAS100) on the 1-Hour and 4-Hour timeframes. These assets heavily respect market structure, and liquidity grabs (retests) are highly common after structural breakouts.
Cryptocurrency: Bitcoin and Ethereum on the 15-minute to 1-Hour charts are excellent candidates, provided you adjust the ATR multiplier to account for crypto's volatile, whipsaw movements.
Markets to Avoid: Avoid using this script in heavily consolidated, range-bound, or sideways markets. Breakout and trend-continuation logic inherently struggles during prolonged periods of low volatility, where price chops indiscriminately around the 200 EMA without clear directional follow-through. Indicator
Range Budget [AFD]
Range Budget answers one question at a glance: **how much of a
typical session's range has today already used?**
A day that has spent 40% of its typical range and a day that has spent 130% are different trading environments. This indicator measures which one you are in, from this chart's own price history, and says so in one number, onecolour, and one word.
###What it does###
- **Headline percentage** — today's realized range so far, divided by thetypical completed-session range. Never clamped: a wide day reads 130%, not100%.
- **State word and meter** — ROOM → PAST HALF (50%) → NEAR FULL (80%) → OVER
TYPICAL (100%). The word, the meter and every state colour come from the same thresholds, so they cannot disagree.
- **Envelope levels** — session low + typical range, and session high − typicalrange, drawn as glowing lines with a gradient band between them. Aconditional identity, not a projection: IF the session finishes at itstypical size AND the low holds, the high lands exactly on the upper level. Once the day crosses its typical range, the levels take the state colour.
- **Percentile ladder** (optional) — where a finished day of each size (p25 /p50 / p75 / p90 of the lookback window) would top out, measured up fromtoday's low. Nearest-rank percentiles: every rung is a session range thatactually occurred, never an interpolation.
- **Dashboard** — distance left to (or past) typical in both price points andpercent, how many of the last N sessions ran wider than typical, and optional detail rows (range so far, typical range, percentile standing,widest/narrowest, envelope and ladder values). Compact by default; everycryptic cell explains itself on hover; the whole panel can be switched off.
###How it works###
- **Typical range is user-selectable**, and the chart always names the activestatistic:
- **ADR** — the average of the last N completed session ranges (high − low).
- **ATR RMA** — the average true range, so overnight gaps count. Seeded withthe first true range rather than an initial SMA, which is why it is labelled "ATR RMA" and will not match `ta.atr()` to the last digit. Under ATR the numerator is the live session's true range too, so the percentageis never a ratio of two different measures.
- **Median** — the middle completed session range, which is also theladder's p50 rung.
- The three are identical on a symbol that never gaps and diverge as gaps grow — on heavily gapping symbols ATR can run near 2.5× ADR. That is why the choice exists and why the active one is named on the chart.
- **Completed sessions only.** The live day never feeds its own denominator —a partial day would drag the typical range down as the day progressed and bias the percentage upward with no symptom. Statistics update when a session completes; the live day contributes only its running range.
- **One session rule for everything.** Regular hours or regular + extended:history and the live day follow the same rule, and if the filter cannot change anything on your chart (no extended-hours bars loaded), the dashboard says so instead of staying silent.
- **The sample is what your chart holds.** n is capped by the sessions actually loaded — roughly 64 completed regular-hours sessions on a 5-minute chart from 5,000 bars on a Basic plan, more on higher plans and higher timeframes. The dashboard shows the n actually in use, plus a spread figure ((p90 − p25) ÷ p50) that says whether recent sessions were similar in size
or mixed.
- Eleven plotted values sit in the Data Window (percentage, ranges, envelope percentiles, sample size and more), so every number on the panel can be read, checked and exported.
###How to use it###
1. Add it to a liquid intraday chart. The defaults are the intended reading: compact dashboard, ADR(20), regular hours.
2. Read the headline first. ROOM means the day is still small next to its recent finished sessions; OVER TYPICAL means it has already run further than a typical one.
3. Use the envelope as context for the day's remaining room under the stated conditions — the tooltip on every input spells those conditions out.
4. Turn on the ladder to see today against the whole recent distribution instead of one average: price between p50 and p75 means today has already matched a mid-sized finished day.
5. Hover the bottom row of the dashboard whenever a figure is unclear — the statistic, the sample and any active caveat (gap counted, filter inert, no completed session yet) are explained there.
###What it deliberately does not do###
**Realized range from OHLCV — not an implied or expected move.** Every number is measured from this chart's own price history. Nothing comes from options pricing, and the typical range describes completed sessions — a description of what happened, not a statement about what happens next.
- No alerts, no signals, no entries or exits.
- Counts stay counts — "Sessions over typical: 4 of last 20" describes this chart's history, and the indicator never converts a count into odds.
- The percentage is never capped at 100%, because a day past its typical range is the most informative reading the tool produces.
###Why it is original###
Range tools usually hand you one number (an ADR level pair) or one overlay (an ATR band). Range Budget treats the session range as a budget and reports its consumption: one percentage against a user-chosen, chart-named statistic, computed from completed sessions only, with its sample size, its spread and every degeneracy disclosed on the panel itself. The three statistics are not interchangeable and the tool is built around that fact rather than hiding it: the active one is named on the chart, the ATR path measures true range on both sides of the ratio, and the ladder shows the whole recent distribution so one average never has to stand in for it.

Pressure Transfer ZoneMany reversal indicators tell you when a market looks stretched. Pressure Transfer Zone asks a harder question: when price returns to the extreme, can the side that drove it there still make meaningful progress?
This indicator was built to identify a specific form of failed continuation. It waits for a strong directional drive, a real retreat, and then a second attempt at the extreme. If that second attempt makes little progress and closes with clear rejection, the script freezes the structure into a decision zone. From there, price must prove that control has actually transferred before a signal is confirmed.
The goal is not to call every top or bottom. The goal is to isolate the moments when a mature move may be losing control, show that process directly on the chart, and give the trader clear confirmation and invalidation levels.
WHO IT IS FOR
Pressure Transfer Zone is designed for intraday, swing, and position traders who use price action and want a more disciplined way to evaluate exhaustion, failed breakouts, failed continuation, and early reversals.
It is designed for liquid stocks, futures, forex, and cryptocurrency on standard candlestick charts. The engine does not run on Heikin Ashi, Renko, or other synthetic chart types because their prices can distort the structure being measured.
THE IDEA BEHIND IT
A strong trend does not end simply because price is overbought, oversold, or extended. Strong moves can remain extended for a long time. What matters is whether the original side can still produce results when it gets another opportunity.
The pattern develops in five stages:
1. A mature directional drive establishes real displacement.
2. Price makes a meaningful retreat away from the extreme.
3. The original side returns for a second attempt.
4. That second attempt produces limited progress and a weaker close.
5. Price confirms the transfer with a qualified break of the selected boundary or, in Sniper mode, with that break followed by a successful first retest.
This is an effort-versus-result test expressed entirely through price. The script does not claim to measure order flow, bid/ask delta, institutional activity, hidden liquidity, or volume pressure.
HOW THE MATHEMATICS WORKS
The first filter is directional efficiency:
Directional efficiency = net directional change / total absolute bar-to-bar movement
A clean drive that travels mostly in one direction receives a higher score. A noisy move that covers a lot of distance but makes little net progress receives a lower score.
The selected Source is used for net displacement and path efficiency. The zone itself is always built from confirmed OHLC prices.
The drive must also meet volatility, range, closing-location, and local-extreme requirements. Under the default pace profiles, it must:
* Produce at least 1.25 ATR of net directional displacement.
* Span at least 2.00 to 2.50 ATR, depending on the selected pace.
* Meet a directional-efficiency threshold of 0.40 to 0.48.
* Close in the outer 28% of the drive range.
* Create a fresh local extreme.
ATR is measured with a 14-bar lookback and frozen when the sequence begins. This prevents later volatility changes from moving the event’s established thresholds.
The retreat must travel at least the greater of 0.55 ATR or 18% of the original drive range, and the closing price must confirm that full retreat distance.
When price returns to the extreme, the second attempt must show deterioration. By default:
* Price must return to within the greater of 0.30 ATR or 8% of the original drive range from the first extreme.
* New progress beyond the first extreme cannot exceed 0.20 ATR.
* The second push cannot exceed 72% of the original drive range.
* The close must migrate away from the first attempt by at least 0.10 ATR.
* Rejection must equal at least the greater of 0.25 ATR or 25% of the developing zone.
* The rejection bar must close within the directional outer 45% of its range.
* The completed zone cannot exceed 60% of the original drive range.
Together, these filters are intended to remove many one-candle reactions, shallow pauses, and weak two-test formations. The model wants to see a legitimate first drive, real separation between attempts, and measurable deterioration on the return.
THE ZONE
Once the second attempt qualifies, the structure is armed and its levels are frozen:
* Outer edge: the most extreme price reached by the two attempts.
* Inner edge: the counter-extreme formed between the two attempts.
* Midpoint: the halfway point of the zone.
* Invalidation: 0.15 ATR beyond the outer edge in the direction of the original move.
For a bullish setup, price must transfer upward after a mature downward drive. For a bearish setup, price must transfer downward after a mature upward drive.
Invalidation requires a confirmed close beyond the buffered outer edge. The invalidation level is structural information, not an automatic stop-loss recommendation.
ENTRY TIMING
Early
Confirms on a qualified close through the zone midpoint. This is the fastest mode and can trigger on the same confirmed bar that arms the zone. It offers earlier recognition with a greater risk of false starts.
Balanced
Confirms on a later qualified close beyond the structural inner edge. Balanced is the default middle ground between earlier recognition and additional structural confirmation.
Sniper
Requires a qualified break of the inner edge followed by the first later retest of that level. The retest must remain shallow and close back in the transfer direction. The first retest decides the setup; a failed first retest cannot become a signal later.
The breakout candle must move in the transfer direction, span at least 0.35 ATR, have a real body covering at least 45% of its range, close within the directional outer 32% of the candle, and finish no more than 0.45 ATR beyond the selected boundary. The final limit is an anti-chase filter.
A valid Sniper retest must stay within 15% of the frozen zone depth, close at least 0.05 ATR back beyond the inner edge, have a directional body covering at least 35% of the candle, and close within the directional outer 40% of its range.
HOW TO READ THE CHART
With the default color palette:
* Amber: the pattern is still developing. It is information, not an entry signal.
* Violet: the structure is complete, armed, and waiting for confirmation.
* Cyan: the action area between the midpoint and inner edge.
* Green: a bullish pressure transfer has been confirmed.
* Red: a bearish pressure transfer has been confirmed.
* Faint gray: an armed setup failed, expired, or was invalidated.
The right-edge label shows the current phase and the next required action. Once the structure is armed, it also displays the confirmation boundary and invalidation price. A diamond appears only when the selected timing mode produces a confirmed trigger.
When Keep Recent Resolved Zones is enabled, the script retains a limited number of recent successful and failed zones. The default is eight, adjustable from one to twelve, so failures remain visible without overwhelming the chart.
PRACTICAL USE
1. Treat an amber zone as a developing idea, not permission to trade.
2. When the zone turns violet, note its direction, confirmation boundary, and invalidation price.
3. Wait for the exact requirement of Early, Balanced, or Sniper mode.
4. Use the broader trend, nearby support and resistance, liquidity, session conditions, and scheduled news as separate context.
5. Apply your own position sizing, stop placement, targets, and trade-management rules.
ADAPTIVE PACE
Auto mode adjusts the engine according to the chart timeframe:
* Fast: 15-minute charts and below.
* Swing: above 15 minutes through 4 hours.
* Position: above 4 hours.
Fast, Swing, and Position can also be selected manually. The selected pace changes the drive and local-extreme lookbacks, minimum drive size, efficiency threshold, formation lifetime, armed lifetime, and Sniper retest window. It does not change the meaning of the pattern.
ALERTS
The indicator includes five alerts:
* Long Zone Armed
* Short Zone Armed
* Long Pressure Transfer
* Short Pressure Transfer
* Pressure Transfer Invalidated
Create alerts using Once Per Bar Close.
Trigger alerts and chart diamonds use the same confirmed-bar event. If an Early setup resolves on the same bar it arms, the temporary armed alert is suppressed so users do not receive a stale or redundant notification.
CONFIRMED-BAR DESIGN
Actionable signals are confirmed only after the chart bar closes. They are not backdated and do not use future data, pivot backpainting, negative offsets, higher-timeframe requests, or lookahead logic.
Amber developing zones are intentionally provisional and can change or disappear because the pattern is not complete. Once a zone turns violet, its structural prices and invalidation level are frozen for that event.
LIMITATIONS
Pressure Transfer Zone identifies structural-exhaustion candidates, not guaranteed reversals. It tracks one active sequence at a time and can miss fast V-shaped turns that never form two separate attempts.
Strong trends can repeatedly invalidate countertrend setups. Thin markets, price gaps, news shocks, and irregular sessions can also reduce the usefulness of ATR-based thresholds.
This is an indicator, not a strategy. It does not place orders, calculate position size, set profit targets, or claim a win rate. Its job is narrower: determine whether the original directional side returned to the extreme, failed to produce enough additional progress, and then met the model’s confirmation rule at a clearly defined price.
Indicator
ATR Risk Lattice - Position Size QuantizationA position-size calculator answers one question: given equity, a risk percentage and a stop
distance, how many units should I buy? The answer comes back fractional - 3.47 contracts, 118.6
shares - and the trader rounds it. This script is about what that rounding does to the risk you
actually carry.
THE PRINCIPLE
Position size is quantized. A broker sells whole contracts, or whole shares, or units of 0.01. So
the set of risk levels available to you is not continuous. It is a ladder, and the spacing between
two adjacent rungs is:
one size increment x (ATR multiple x ATR) x point value / equity
Every rung is a position you can hold. Everything between two rungs is a position you cannot hold.
The unrounded size almost never lands on a rung, so the risk you end up carrying is the rung you
rounded to, not the target you typed into the settings.
Two consequences follow, and both are invisible in a tool that prints a single size number:
1. When the account is small relative to the instrument, the ladder is coarse. On a
large-multiplier futures contract, adjacent rungs can sit more than a full percent of equity
apart, which means a 1% target is not reachable at all. The real choice is between no position and
one that risks considerably more than intended.
2. The ladder is not fixed. Its spacing is proportional to ATR, so as volatility expands the rungs
spread apart and risk control becomes coarser without anything in the setup changing.
WHAT IS PLOTTED
The pane plots realized risk as a percentage of equity after rounding, together with the two rungs
that bracket the unrounded size. The shaded band between those two lines is the range you are
forced to choose within. The dashed line is your target. When the band is narrow relative to the
target line, sizing is fine-grained. When it is wide, the sizing decision is dominated by
granularity rather than by your risk setting.
The line turns amber when one size increment moves realized risk by more than a configurable share
of your target - 25% by default.
HOW TO READ THE TABLE
The table reports the current bar. ATR and the timeframe and smoothing it came from; stop distance
in price and in ticks; the long and short stop levels measured from the current close; currency
risk per unit; target risk in percent and in currency; the unrounded size; the rounded size;
realized risk after rounding in percent and currency; the rung below and the rung above with their
risk levels; the ladder step, meaning how much realized risk moves per one size increment; and the
ladder step expressed as a percentage of your target, labelled fine or coarse.
The bottom row prints the opening timestamp of the bar the ATR was taken from, so the timing claim
below can be checked on the chart rather than taken on trust.
HIGHER-TIMEFRAME VOLATILITY
Risk is often managed on a slower timeframe than the one being watched. The script can take ATR
from a higher timeframe using a single bundled request. The requested expression is offset by one
bar and the request uses lookahead, which is the pair the Pine Script documentation specifies for
confirmed higher-timeframe values: the offset discards the bar that is still forming and returns
the one before it, which was already final when the current higher-timeframe bar opened.
Historical and realtime bars therefore produce the same value, and the timestamp in the table is
the opening time of the bar that value came from.
If the selected timeframe is at or below the chart timeframe, the table says so instead of quietly
returning something that is not a higher-timeframe value.
When ATR is taken from the chart timeframe instead - the default - it includes the bar currently
forming, so the last plotted value moves until that bar closes. Values on closed bars do not
change.
SETTINGS WORTH SETTING CAREFULLY
Minimum size increment. This sets the ladder spacing and is the input the whole tool turns on. Use
1 for futures and standard share accounts, and your broker's actual minimum for crypto or
fractional shares.
Point value. Defaults to the symbol's exchange multiplier via syminfo.pointvalue. That value is 1
for most equities and the contract multiplier for futures, but it is not what every broker
applies, and on forex and CFDs it will usually need to be overridden manually.
Account equity. Entered in the instrument's quote currency. No FX conversion is performed.
Rounding. Round down keeps realized risk at or below target. Round up does the opposite. Round to
nearest sends an exact half-step upward.
LIMITATIONS
The calculation assumes the stop fills at the stop price. It does not, on gaps, on halts, or in
thin books, so a realized loss can exceed the figure shown. It ignores commissions, financing,
slippage and margin requirements, any of which can make a rung unreachable for reasons this script
knows nothing about. It is a single-position calculator: it does not aggregate exposure across
open trades or correlated instruments. ATR is a description of recent range, not a forecast of it.
On non-standard chart types the true range is computed from synthetic bars rather than from traded
prices, so the ladder will describe the synthetic series.
This is a measurement and planning aid. It produces no entries, no exits and no signals, it makes
no claim about any method being sound or unsound, and there is nothing here to optimize. The
source is open, so every number in the table can be traced to the line that produced it. Indicator
Edge Profiler - Self-Learning Signal StatisticsAlmost every indicator answers one question: when should I enter. Edge Profiler answers the two questions that actually decide whether an entry is tradable: how far did this exact setup historically go against me before it resolved, and how long did it usually take.
It does that by keeping a record of its own signals on the symbol and timeframe you have open, and turning that record into a stop distance, a target and an expected holding time.
WHAT IT MEASURES
For every signal it has ever produced on the current chart, the script stores four numbers:
MAE, Maximum Adverse Excursion. How far price travelled against the signal before the signal resolved, measured in ATR units so the value is comparable across symbols and volatility regimes.
MFE, Maximum Favourable Excursion. How far price travelled in favour, in the same units.
Duration. How many bars the signal remained the active one.
Outcome. The signal-to-signal return, again in ATR units.
The last N signals are kept, older ones are dropped, so the statistics describe the current regime rather than a market that no longer exists. The sample size is adjustable.
WHAT IT DERIVES
Data Stop. Entry minus the 80th percentile of historical MAE, times the ATR at entry. Read plainly, this is a stop level that 80 percent of past signals on this chart never reached. The percentile is adjustable, so 90 gives a wider and safer stop, 70 a tighter and more aggressive one.
Data Target. Entry plus the median historical MFE. A level that half of past signals reached before resolving. Also adjustable by percentile.
Expected duration. The median bar count of past signals. The panel shows the age of the open signal as a percentage of that median, which flags a move that has already outlived what this setup normally delivers.
Expectancy. The average signal-to-signal return in ATR units. Positive means the engine has historically produced more favourable resolution than adverse on this chart. Negative is a warning, and it is deliberately shown rather than hidden.
Win rate. The share of stored signals whose signal-to-signal return was positive.
WHY EXCURSION STATISTICS AND NOT A BACKTEST
A backtest tells you what a complete rule set produced, and it is only as honest as its exit assumptions. Excursion statistics measure something narrower and more robust: the shape of the move that follows a trigger, independent of any exit rule. That makes the numbers usable no matter how you personally manage the trade. If the median adverse excursion on this chart is 0.4 ATR and you are risking 0.15 ATR, the data is telling you the stop is inside the noise, and no entry technique will fix that.
BRING YOUR OWN SIGNAL
Three transparent entry engines are included, and the statistics profile whichever one is selected:
Volatility Trail. An ATR trailing stop that flips direction when price closes through it. Default.
EMA Cross. Close crossing a single exponential moving average.
Donchian Breakout. Close breaking the highest high or lowest low of the last N bars.
Switching the engine reprofiles everything from scratch on the same chart, which makes it easy to see which of the three has the cleaner statistical footprint on the instrument you actually trade. Two engines with the same win rate can have very different adverse excursion, and that difference is what decides whether a stop survives.
ON THE CHART
Entry line, Data Stop line and Data Target line for the currently open signal.
Shaded risk zone between entry and stop, reward zone between entry and target.
Triangles at each signal.
Bars tinted by the active signal direction.
A panel with the full statistics and the live state of the open signal, including its running MAE and MFE so you can see in real time whether the current move is behaving like its own history or not.
ALERTS
Long signal.
Short signal.
Open signal has moved further against entry than the historical stop percentile.
Open signal has outlived the median duration.
SETTINGS THAT MATTER
Entry Engine. Which signal gets profiled.
Sample Size. How many past signals are kept. Smaller adapts faster and is noisier, larger is more stable and slower to react to a regime change.
Minimum Sample. Statistics stay hidden below this count instead of showing numbers built on four observations. Default 15.
Stop Percentile. The single most consequential setting. It is the trade-off between stop survival and risk size.
READING IT HONESTLY
These are descriptive statistics of past signals on one chart. They are not a forecast and they carry no guarantee. A sample of 20 signals is a hint, not evidence. Statistics drawn from a trending period will misprice risk the moment the market goes sideways, and the percentile you choose is an assumption about how much you are willing to be wrong before you are stopped. Load enough history for the sample to fill, check that expectancy is positive before you take the levels seriously, and treat a negative expectancy reading as the script telling you this engine has no edge here.

AlgoForex PULSE Momentum & Volatility CompassAlgoForex PULSE is a single-pane trend, momentum and volatility read-out. It replaces the usual stack of three separate indicators — a moving average, an oscillator and a volatility gauge — with one adaptive framework drawn directly on price.
WHY IT EXISTS
A fixed-period moving average has one setting and two problems: it lags in a trend and whipsaws in a range. Most traders answer this by adding an oscillator in a lower pane and a volatility filter somewhere else, then spend the session moving their eyes between three places. PULSE folds those three jobs into one object on the chart.
HOW THE BASELINE WORKS
The baseline is an adaptive average driven by an efficiency ratio. For the chosen lookback it measures:
• net directional travel = |price now − price N bars ago|
• total travel = the sum of every bar-to-bar move over the same N bars
The ratio of the two is the efficiency ratio. Near 1, almost all movement went one way, so the average is allowed to accelerate toward price. Near 0, price covered a lot of distance and ended up nowhere, so the average slows down and flattens. The smoothing constant is squared, which makes the transition between the two states sharper than a linear blend.
The practical effect: the line tracks trends closely, then stops reacting to noise when the market goes sideways.
AURORA BANDS
Three ATR-scaled layers are drawn on each side of the baseline and filled with the live trend colour. They serve two purposes at once:
• the WIDTH shows current volatility — the cloud breathes as ATR expands and contracts
• the POSITION of price inside the cloud shows how stretched the move is
A close hugging the outer band is an extended move. A close oscillating around the baseline is a market with no commitment.
TREND STATE (with hysteresis)
The trend does not flip the moment price touches the baseline. It requires a close beyond baseline ± (Trend Trigger × ATR), default 0.5× ATR. This buffer is the difference between a handful of meaningful flips per session and dozens of meaningless ones. Raise it for fewer, slower signals; lower it for a more reactive read.
Flips are marked with and labels.
MOMENTUM SCORE (0-100)
Rather than a second pane, momentum is reduced to one number:
Momentum = 55 × normalised position inside the bands + 45 × RSI
The position component is clamped to ±1 so a single spike bar cannot dominate the reading. The result drives three things: the gauge in the dashboard, the candle colour gradient, and the surge markers (small dots) fired when the score crosses the bullish or bearish levels.
CONVICTION
The dashboard shows the raw efficiency ratio as a percentage. This is deliberately kept separate from the momentum score because the two answer different questions:
• Momentum = which direction, how strongly
• Conviction = how clean that movement was
A high momentum score with low conviction is a move fighting through chop. High on both is the condition worth acting on.
SQUEEZE RADAR
Current ATR is compared against its own percentile over a lookback window (default: bottom 25% of the last 100 bars). While ATR sits in that bottom band the background is tinted, marking compression. The bar where ATR climbs back out is marked with a the expansion point.
Compression tells you nothing about direction, only that the range is unusually tight. Pair it with the trend state for a directional bias.
HOW TO USE IT
1. Read the trend colour first — it sets your bias for the session.
2. Check Conviction. Below roughly 20% the market is not paying trend-followers.
3. Wait for price to pull back toward the baseline rather than chasing the outer band.
4. Treat a squeeze release in the direction of the trend as a timing cue, not a signal on its own.
5. Momentum surge dots confirm strength — they are not standalone entries.
SETTINGS THAT MATTER MOST
• Adaptive Length — the responsiveness of the whole system. Lower = faster.
• Trend Trigger ( ATR) — signal frequency. The single most useful dial here.
• Squeeze Percentile — how rare a "squeeze" should be. Lower = stricter.
ALERTS
Bullish trend flip Bearish trend flip Bullish momentum surge Bearish momentum surge Squeeze started Squeeze release.
NOTES
Works on any symbol and any timeframe. The dashboard is bilingual (English) and can be switched in the settings.
