Keep It Simple**Keep It Simple — dominant market force in one glance**
The main goal of this indicator is to show which force is dominant on each candle, through a colored EMA cloud and an intuitive color code. The Bollinger Bands help you read whether volatility is expanding or contracting, and the thickness of the short moving-average line tells you whether a trend exists and whether it is gaining force or not.
A simplified read of structure and direction in a single overlay:
- **Bollinger Bands** (length 21 · deviation 1.3 · EMA basis) with a blue cloud between them — the price "territory". Band lines can stay hidden; the cloud alone keeps the read clean.
- **Short EMA (8)** — the direction line; its thickness increases as the trend gains force (thickness driven by ADX plus a short range index, and only while that force is rising).
- **Long EMA (21)** — hidden by default (toggle-able); it always feeds the state color.
- **Cloud between the EMAs**, painted in the color of the current market state.
**How to read the colors (market state · EMAs and cloud):**
- Green — full up (price above EMA 8 · EMA 8 above EMA 21)
- Blue — pullback in an uptrend (price below EMA 8 · EMA 8 above EMA 21)
- Gray — neutral / transition
- Purple — pullback in a downtrend (price above EMA 8 · EMA 8 below EMA 21)
- Red — full down (price below EMA 8 · EMA 8 below EMA 21)
**Why combine these three?** Bands alone tell you *where* price is working; a plain moving average tells you *which way*; neither tells you *how strong* or *what regime*. Here they are wired together: the bands/cloud give the territory and its volatility, the thick colored short EMA gives direction plus strength in one line, and the shared state color ties price, short EMA and long EMA into a single regime read — so one glance answers where price is, which way it leans, and how strong that lean is.
Open-source and fully commented, so you can see exactly how each part is computed and adapt it.
Success to all,

Market Leadership Structure 3D [NeuralMarkets]OVERVIEW
Market Leadership Structure 3D compares six assets to show who is driving the group, who is following, and whether leadership is persistent or rotating.
It separates relative rank from absolute evidence. The top-ranked asset is always shown as the relative candidate, but the script reports NO CLEAR LEADER unless that candidate has sufficient evidence, separation from the runner-up, and at least one qualified outgoing relationship.
The indicator provides three views:
• Summary
• Leadership Terrain
• Parameter Stability
HOW IT WORKS
For every asset pair, the model compares both possible lead-lag directions.
Directional evidence blends the strongest positive lagged correlation with the average positive correlation across the tested lags.
Directional advantage A → B = Evidence A → B − Evidence B → A
An edge is retained only when it passes Minimum Forward Evidence and exceeds the reverse direction by Minimum Directional Asymmetry.
Qualified edges form a directed network using NeuralMarketsNetworkToolkit:
Net influence = Outbound influence − Inbound influence
The asset with the highest smoothed net influence receives rank #1. Recognition requires separate absolute-evidence and rank-separation thresholds, so being ranked first does not automatically imply meaningful leadership.
READING THE SUMMARY
Recognized — The accepted leader or NO CLEAR LEADER.
Relative candidate — The asset currently ranked #1, even when evidence is insufficient for recognition.
Absolute evidence — Strength and coverage of the candidate’s qualified outgoing relationships. It is not min-maxed and does not force the strongest asset to score 100.
Rank separation — Normalized gap between the top two assets. A small gap means leadership is closely contested.
Leader persistence — Share of the history window occupied by the current recognized leader. No-clear-leader bars remain separate states.
Clear-state share — Percentage of the history window in which any clear leader existed.
Rotation risk — LOW, MEDIUM, HIGH, or UNDEFINED when no leader is recognized.
Concentration — Whether directional influence is concentrated or broadly distributed.
The optional ranking table shows all six assets with net influence, absolute evidence, and normalized leadership.
LEADERSHIP TERRAIN
The waterfall mesh displays all six assets through recent history:
• X-axis: ticker
• Depth: historical slices from NOW toward older bars
• Height: normalized leadership, approximately −1 to +1
Above zero indicates more outbound than inbound influence. Below zero indicates follower behavior. Each historical ridge is drawn as a colored curtain from the zero plane, while rails connect each ticker through time. Older slices fade to keep the current structure prominent.
Look for:
• A sustained elevated ridge — persistent leadership
• A ridge rising toward NOW — strengthening leadership
• A ridge falling toward zero — fading leadership
• Two similar current peaks — close competition
• Rapidly alternating peaks — unstable rotation
• A flat surface near zero — weak directional structure
A leader marker appears only when the recognition requirements are satisfied.
PARAMETER STABILITY
This view rebuilds the network across a 6 × 6 grid:
• X-axis: relationship lookback
• Depth: maximum lag from 1 to 6 bars
• Height and color: robustness
Robustness combines 50% absolute evidence, 30% rank separation, and 20% agreement with the currently recognized leader. Cells without qualified outgoing coverage score zero.
Broad elevated regions indicate that leadership survives several parameter choices. An isolated peak suggests that the result is parameter-sensitive.
HOW TO USE IT
1. Choose a coherent universe
Use a preset or select six related assets. Interpretation is clearest when the group represents one theme, such as cross-asset ETFs, US sectors, or mega-cap stocks.
2. Check the recognized state
If the script reports NO CLEAR LEADER, do not treat the relative candidate as confirmed leadership.
3. Confirm evidence and separation
Prefer cases where the candidate has both meaningful absolute evidence and adequate distance from the runner-up.
4. Check persistence and rotation
Established leadership is generally more credible than a one-bar rank change. Falling persistence, a young leader age, or HIGH rotation risk signals a less settled structure.
5. Inspect Leadership Terrain
Check whether the leader remains above zero through history and whether its ridge strengthens toward NOW. Watch for challengers rising beneath it.
6. Inspect Parameter Stability
Prefer a broad plateau over one sharp peak. If leadership disappears after a small lookback or lag change, it is fragile.
7. Use alerts to trigger review
Alerts identify structural transitions. Combine them with price action, trend, liquidity, and risk management rather than treating them as automatic entries.
UNIVERSE PRESETS
Cross-Asset — SPY, QQQ, IWM, HYG, TLT, DBC
US Sectors — XLK, XLF, XLY, XLI, XLE, XLV
Mega-Cap — NVDA, MSFT, AAPL, META, AMZN, GOOGL
Custom — Six user-selected symbols
IMPORTANT SETTINGS
Relationship Lookback — Estimation window. Shorter values react faster but are noisier.
Maximum Lead Lag — Earlier bars tested. One lag equals one chart bar.
Rank Smoothing — Reduces rank churn at the cost of slower response.
Leadership History — Window used for persistence and rotation statistics.
Minimum Forward Evidence — Minimum blended relationship required for an edge.
Minimum Directional Asymmetry — Required advantage over the reverse direction.
Minimum Absolute Evidence / Rank Separation — Requirements for recognizing a clear leader.
Terrain spacing, skew, separation, and height settings change only the drawing—not the model.
KEY DEFAULTS
Relationship Lookback: 80
Maximum Lead Lag: 5
Directional Weight Power: 1.25
Rank Smoothing: 3
Leadership History: 100
Minimum Forward Evidence: 0.18
Minimum Directional Asymmetry: 0.02
Minimum Absolute Evidence: 15
Minimum Rank Separation: 5%
Terrain History: 8 slices spaced 5 bars apart
ALERTS
Clear Leader Rotation — Fires only on a direct transition between two different recognized leaders. A transition through NO CLEAR LEADER is not counted.
High Rotation Risk — Fires when risk changes to HIGH while a clear leader exists.
Clear Leader Established — Fires when the candidate first satisfies the recognition requirements.
Clear Leader Lost — Fires when the recognized leader no longer satisfies them.
LIMITATIONS
This indicator is descriptive market-structure research, not a calibrated probability or a claim of predictive alpha.
Lagged correlation and directional asymmetry do not establish causality. The model focuses on positive lead-lag relationships and does not explicitly represent inverse edges.
Parameter Stability measures current in-sample robustness, not out-of-sample forecasting performance. The terrain is a 2D perspective projection whose appearance depends on chart zoom.
Results depend on timeframe, available history, liquidity, and alignment between trading sessions. All six symbols should have sufficient data.
Use rank to identify the relative candidate. Use evidence, separation, persistence, terrain, and parameter stability to decide how seriously that ranking should be taken.

XAUUSD ICC SMC PRO 4H 15M 5MXAU/USD ICC + SMC Multi-Timeframe Indicator
The XAU/USD ICC + SMC Multi-Timeframe Indicator is designed to identify high-probability continuation setups by combining Indication, Correction and Continuation (ICC) with Supply & Demand, Liquidity Sweeps, CHoCH, BOS and multi-timeframe market structure.
The indicator follows a strict top-down process using 4H → 15M → 5M analysis.
4H – Indication and Supply/Demand
The 4-hour timeframe defines the main market direction and the institutional area of interest.
When price creates a confirmed Break of Structure (BOS), the indicator searches for the last opposite candle responsible for the displacement.
For a bullish structure, this area is marked as a 4H Demand Zone.
For a bearish structure, it is marked as a 4H Supply Zone.
The zone is automatically displayed as a rectangle and extended forward until price returns to it.
The 4H stage represents the INDICATION phase of the ICC model.
15M – Liquidity Sweep and CHoCH
Once price returns inside the 4H Supply or Demand zone, the indicator begins analyzing the 15-minute structure.
For a bullish setup, price must first take Sell-Side Liquidity below a previous 15M low and then close back above that level.
For a bearish setup, price must take Buy-Side Liquidity above a previous 15M high and close back below it.
A liquidity sweep alone is not considered an entry signal.
The indicator waits for a Change of Character (CHoCH) confirming that the short-term market structure is beginning to reverse.
The relationship between liquidity sweeps, displacement, CHoCH and BOS is similar to the structure shown in the example diagrams above.
15M – BOS Confirmation
After CHoCH, the system waits for another structural break in the same direction.
This second break is identified as the 15M BOS confirmation.
For a bullish setup:
Sell-Side Liquidity Sweep → Bullish CHoCH → Bullish BOS
For a bearish setup:
Buy-Side Liquidity Sweep → Bearish CHoCH → Bearish BOS
BOS is used primarily as a continuation confirmation, while CHoCH indicates a possible structural transition.
15M – Correction
After the BOS confirmation, the indicator waits for the market to retrace.
This retracement becomes the CORRECTION phase of the ICC model.
For a bullish setup, bearish 15-minute candles forming after the bullish BOS are monitored.
For a bearish setup, bullish candles forming after the bearish BOS are monitored.
The entire correction area is highlighted with an orange rectangle.
The indicator continuously tracks the highest and lowest points of the correction.
Correction Trendline
During the correction, the indicator automatically searches for swing points that allow it to build a correction trendline.
For a bullish setup, the correction normally creates a descending structure.
The indicator therefore draws a descending resistance trendline across the correction highs.
For a bearish setup, it draws an ascending support trendline across the correction lows.
The trendline is important because the indicator does not consider the correction finished simply because price touches an Order Block.
End of Correction
The correction ends only when price breaks the correction trendline in the direction of the original 4H setup.
Bullish sequence:
Correction → Descending Trendline → Bullish Trendline Break
Bearish sequence:
Correction → Ascending Trendline → Bearish Trendline Break
At this stage the indicator displays:
CORRECTION ENDED
TRENDLINE BREAK
CONTINUATION
This represents the transition from Correction → Continuation.
5M – Execution Zone
After the 15M continuation is confirmed, the indicator moves to the 5-minute execution logic.
For a bullish setup, it waits for a 5M bullish BOS and identifies the last bearish candle that created the displacement.
That candle becomes the new 5M Demand Zone.
For a bearish setup, the last bullish candle before the bearish displacement becomes the 5M Supply Zone.
Order Blocks combined with structural breaks are commonly visualized in this way, as shown in the example chart above.
The indicator then displays:
5M DEMAND – WAIT FOR RETEST
or
5M SUPPLY – WAIT FOR RETEST
Final BUY Signal
A BUY signal requires the complete sequence:
4H Bullish BOS
→ 4H Demand
→ Sell-Side Liquidity Sweep
→ 15M Bullish CHoCH
→ 15M Bullish BOS
→ 15M Correction
→ Correction Trendline Break
→ 5M Bullish BOS
→ 5M Demand
→ Demand Retest
→ Bullish Reaction
→ STRONG BUY
The indicator will not generate a BUY signal simply because price enters a Demand zone.
Final SELL Signal
The bearish process is the exact opposite:
4H Bearish BOS
→ 4H Supply
→ Buy-Side Liquidity Sweep
→ 15M Bearish CHoCH
→ 15M Bearish BOS
→ 15M Correction
→ Correction Trendline Break
→ 5M Bearish BOS
→ 5M Supply
→ Supply Retest
→ Bearish Reaction
→ STRONG SELL
Visual Color Guide
Green rectangle: 4H/5M Demand Zone
Red rectangle: 4H/5M Supply Zone
Yellow label: Liquidity Sweep
Aqua label: CHoCH
Blue label: BOS
Orange rectangle: Correction
Green/Red trendline: Correction structure
Large green label: STRONG BUY
Large red label: STRONG SELL
ICC Logic
The complete model can therefore be summarized as:
INDICATION
4H BOS + Supply/Demand
↓
CORRECTION PREPARATION
Liquidity Sweep + CHoCH + 15M BOS
↓
CORRECTION
15M retracement + correction trendline
↓
CONTINUATION
Trendline Break + 5M BOS + Demand/Supply retest
↓
EXECUTION
STRONG BUY or STRONG SELL
This structure is intentionally strict. Its purpose is to filter out ordinary Order Block touches and wait for liquidity manipulation, structural confirmation, correction and continuation before displaying the final trading signal.

FD Volume Intelligence v1.8FD Volume Intelligence is a compact volume-confirmation tool designed to help traders judge whether a price move is supported by meaningful market participation.
Instead of duplicating PulseWire’s native volume histogram, this indicator works as an intelligence layer alongside PulseWire’s built-in Volume indicator. It focuses on Relative Volume (RVOL), participation strength, candle-body quality, directional context, and confirmed alerts while keeping the price chart clean.
Core Features
Relative Volume (RVOL)
Compares current volume with its moving-average baseline:
RVOL = Current Volume ÷ Volume MA
Volume MA Length
Default: 20
Participation Classification
Dry: below 0.70×
Average: 0.70× – 1.19×
Confirm: 1.20× – 1.49×
Strong: 1.50× – 1.99×
Extreme: 2.00×+
Candle Body Quality
Measures the candle body as a percentage of its total high-low range. This helps distinguish strong directional participation from high-volume indecision.
Default minimum body quality: 55%
Directional Volume Context
Displays whether current participation is associated with bullish or bearish price action.
Compact 2-Column Dashboard
Shows:
Volume status
RVOL
Strength
Direction
Body Quality
Current Volume vs MA20
Threshold settings status
Color-Coded Interpretation
Green = confirmed / positive participation
Orange = caution / weak candle quality
Red = bearish context
= informational metrics
White = neutral/static information
Threshold Protection
The script automatically maintains the correct logical hierarchy:
Dry < Confirmation < Strong < Extreme
If a user enters conflicting threshold values, they are automatically normalized internally.
No-Volume Handling
Symbols without usable volume data are clearly identified instead of generating misleading RVOL readings.
Confirmed Alerts
Alerts default to confirmation on candle close to reduce intrabar signal changes. The dashboard itself remains realtime.
How to Use
FD Volume Intelligence is intended as a confirmation tool, not a standalone buy/sell system.
For example:
RVOL < 0.70× → weak participation
RVOL ≥ 1.20× → meaningful participation begins
RVOL ≥ 1.50× → strong participation
RVOL ≥ 2.00× → unusually high activity; evaluate for expansion, breakout, absorption, or climax
A high RVOL reading becomes more useful when it is accompanied by good candle-body quality and relevant price structure.
For example:
RVOL 1.60× + Strong Body + Bull Direction
provides stronger confirmation than:
RVOL 1.60× + Weak Body
because the second condition may indicate absorption, rejection, or indecision despite elevated volume.
Recommended Setup
Use this indicator together with PulseWire’s built-in Volume indicator.
Recommended built-in Volume settings:
MA Length: 20
Color based on previous close: ON
FD Volume Intelligence intentionally does not draw its own synthetic volume histogram. This keeps the indicator lightweight and avoids creating an additional pane or interfering with the price scale.
Alerts
Available alert conditions include:
Bullish Volume Confirmation
Bearish Volume Confirmation
Strong Bullish Participation
Strong Bearish Participation
Extreme Bullish Volume
Extreme Bearish Volume
By default, alert signals are confirmed at candle close.
Important
RVOL in this indicator uses a rolling Volume MA baseline. It is not a session-normalized or time-of-day Relative Volume calculation.
Volume should always be interpreted together with price action, market structure, liquidity, support/resistance, and the broader market context.
FD Volume Intelligence is a confirmation and analytical tool. It does not predict future price movement and should not be used as a standalone trading system. Indicator

Liquidity + Order Blocks Liquidity & Order Blocks [Pine Script
📌 Overview
Liquidity & Order Blocks is a price-action and Smart Money Concepts (SMC) style indicator designed to help traders visually identify important liquidity areas, liquidity sweeps, and potential order-block zones directly on the chart.
The indicator is designed primarily as a market-structure and price-action analysis tool. It does not guarantee profitable trades and should not be used as a standalone trading system.
---
🔹 What Does This Indicator Show?
1. Buy-Side Liquidity (BSL)
Buy-side liquidity is generally found above previous swing highs.
The indicator identifies swing highs and projects liquidity levels from them.
When price moves above a previous swing high and then closes back below that level, the indicator can identify it as a:
BSL Sweep — Buy-Side Liquidity Sweep
This can be useful when studying potential bearish reactions after liquidity has been taken.
---
2. Sell-Side Liquidity (SSL)
Sell-side liquidity is generally found below previous swing lows.
The indicator identifies swing lows and projects liquidity levels from them.
When price moves below a previous swing low and then closes back above that level, the indicator can identify it as:
SSL Sweep — Sell-Side Liquidity Sweep
This can be useful when studying potential bullish reactions after liquidity has been taken.
---
🔹 Order Blocks
The indicator automatically searches for potential order blocks following liquidity sweeps.
🟢 Bullish Order Block
A bullish order block is identified after a sell-side liquidity sweep when bullish price action appears.
The indicator searches backward for the most recent bearish candle and uses that candle's high/low as the potential bullish order-block zone.
🔴 Bearish Order Block
A bearish order block is identified after a buy-side liquidity sweep when bearish price action appears.
The indicator searches backward for the most recent bullish candle and uses that candle's high/low as the potential bearish order-block zone.
---
📚 How To Use It
A simple workflow is:
Step 1 — Identify the Market Structure
Start by looking at the overall trend and recent swing highs/lows.
Ask yourself:
- Is price making higher highs and higher lows?
- Is price making lower highs and lower lows?
- Where are the obvious swing points?
- Where might liquidity be resting?
Do not immediately enter a trade just because an order block appears.
---
Step 2 — Find Liquidity
Look for obvious:
Buy-side liquidity
- Previous swing highs
- Equal/near-equal highs
- Areas where traders may have placed stop orders
Sell-side liquidity
- Previous swing lows
- Equal/near-equal lows
- Areas where traders may have placed stop orders
---
Step 3 — Wait for the Sweep
Instead of chasing price into liquidity, watch how price reacts when the liquidity level is taken.
For example:
Price moves below a previous low → takes sell-side liquidity → closes back above the level.
This can indicate that the liquidity below the low has been taken.
The indicator marks this as an SSL Sweep.
---
Step 4 — Look for the Order Block
After a liquidity sweep, look for the corresponding order-block zone.
For a potential bullish setup:
SSL Sweep → Bullish reaction → Bullish Order Block
For a potential bearish setup:
BSL Sweep → Bearish reaction → Bearish Order Block
The order block should be treated as an area of interest, not an automatic entry.
---
Step 5 — Wait for Confirmation
Before entering a trade, consider additional confirmation such as:
- Market Structure Shift
- Break of Structure (BOS)
- Change of Character (CHoCH)
- Strong displacement
- Fair Value Gap (FVG)
- Retest of the order block
- Higher-timeframe direction
- Risk/reward conditions
The more confluence you have, the more selective your setup can become.
---
🎯 Example Bullish Setup
A simplified bullish sequence can look like:
Sell-Side Liquidity → SSL Sweep → Bullish Displacement → Bullish Order Block → Retest → Confirmation
Instead of buying immediately after the sweep, study whether price actually produces a meaningful bullish reaction.
---
🎯 Example Bearish Setup
A simplified bearish sequence can look like:
Buy-Side Liquidity → BSL Sweep → Bearish Displacement → Bearish Order Block → Retest → Confirmation
Again, the indicator is intended to help identify the area for further analysis rather than automatically telling you to sell.

Auto ETF Breadth [SMH/SOXX/XSD/QQQ/SPY/IWM]Auto ETF Breadth is a market breadth indicator designed to measure the internal strength of major equity and semiconductor ETFs rather than relying on price action alone.
The script automatically detects the ETF on the chart and currently supports SMH, SOXX, XSD, QQQ, SPY, and IWM.
For semiconductor ETFs, breadth is calculated directly from the underlying constituents. For broader indices such as QQQ, SPY, and IWM, the indicator uses PulseWire’s native Nasdaq-100, S&P 500, and Russell 2000 breadth data.
The indicator tracks five breadth measures:
Above 20D MA – percentage of constituents trading above their 20-day moving average, showing short-term participation.
Above 50D MA – percentage above the 50-day moving average, reflecting intermediate-term breadth.
Above 200D MA – percentage above the 200-day moving average, showing long-term market health.
50D Rising – percentage of constituents whose 50-day moving average is rising.
200D Rising – percentage of constituents whose 200-day moving average is rising.
The display can be switched between individual breadth measures, the three core 20/50/200-day measures, all series together, or a custom combination.
A compact dashboard shows the latest breadth readings and coverage of the selected universe.
The indicator is particularly useful for identifying breadth divergences, where an ETF continues making new highs while fewer underlying stocks participate. It can also help identify washed-out conditions when short-term breadth falls toward extreme lows while longer-term breadth remains structurally healthy.
General interpretation: readings above roughly 80% indicate broad participation, around 50% indicate neutral breadth, and below roughly 20% indicate very weak or potentially oversold participation.
For XSD, users subject to PulseWire’s standard request limit will use a reduced constituent universe, while plans supporting additional unique requests can enable the full holdings option.
This indicator is intended as a market-internals and confirmation tool and should be used alongside price, trend, volatility, and other forms of analysis. Indicator
