Futures Session TWAP + Bands - CFD ChartsAn anchored TWAP (time-weighted average price) with 1/2/3-sigma bands that
knows when the real market is actually open — built for CFD and cash-index
charts whose 24h quotes distort classic session averages.
What makes it original: a TWAP weighs every bar equally, so on a 24h CFD chart
the thin overnight bars count as much as the liquid session and drag the line
away from the number execution desks reference. This indicator pulls the
volume of the auto-detected futures contract and uses it as a SESSION GATE:
only bars where the future actually traded are counted. It also plots an
optional futures-volume VWAP on the same anchor, so the TWAP-vs-VWAP spread
becomes readable at a glance — that spread is the point of the pair.
How it works:
- TWAP = equal-weight average of the chart's price (hlc3 by default) over the
anchor period (session/week/month); bands from the time-weighted variance.
- Session gate (optional, on by default): bars without futures volume are
skipped, so the TWAP covers the real trading session. Only session/volume
information is borrowed from the future — the price stays this chart's
price, so the futures-vs-cash basis cannot distort the level.
- The futures contract is auto-detected from the chart symbol (DAX/GER40 ->
FDAX, NAS100 -> NQ, US30 -> YM, UK100 -> Z, US500 -> ES), or set manually.
- Optional "Daily anchor = futures trading day" resets at the futures day
change instead of CFD broker midnight, matching the sibling VWAP tool.
- A status label shows the active source, the gate state and the current
VWAP-minus-TWAP spread.
How to use it: the TWAP is the fair time-average of the session — the line an
evenly-sliced execution would achieve. Compare it with the futures-volume
VWAP: VWAP above TWAP means volume was concentrated above the time average
(participants paid up), VWAP below TWAP means volume traded below it. The two
lines glued together signals balanced rotation; a widening spread marks
one-sided participation. The 2/3-sigma bands frame statistically stretched
zones relative to the session mean. Check the status label once after loading
to confirm the futures feed is active.

volume tools — the companions are on my profile.* Indicator

Futures Volume Profile - CFD ChartsCFD charts only show broker tick volume, which does not represent real market
participation. This indicator pulls REAL exchange volume from the matching
futures contract and builds a volume profile directly on your CFD chart.
What makes it original: standard volume-profile tools weight by the chart's
own (tick) volume. This one maps futures contract volume into CFD price
coordinates (price = CFD, weight = futures), accumulates the profile
incrementally so month anchors work without lookback limits, and can anchor
the session to the futures trading day instead of CFD broker midnight.
How it works:
- The futures contract is auto-detected from the chart symbol (DAX/GER40 ->
FDAX, NAS100 -> NQ, US30 -> YM, UK100 -> Z, US500 -> ES), or set manually.
- Each chart bar's price range is split into zones; the futures volume of that
bar is distributed across the zones it covers (price = CFD coordinates,
weight = futures volume — so the basis offset between CFD and futures is
handled naturally).
- The profile accumulates incrementally per anchor period (session/week/month)
and resets at the period change. POC (red), VAH/VAL (blue, dashed) and the
histogram update live.
- Optional "Daily anchor = futures trading day": the session reset fires at
the futures day change instead of the CFD broker midnight, so the profile is
anchored identically whether you chart the CFD or the future itself.
- Bars without futures data (e.g. overnight hours of a 24h CFD) contribute
nothing — mixing tick volume with contract volume would distort the profile.
The source label warns you when no futures data is available.
How to use it: treat POC/VAH/VAL as the real participation levels behind your
CFD chart — acceptance above the value area supports continuation, a rejection
back inside favors rotation toward the POC. Thick zones (HVN) act as magnets
and consolidation areas, thin zones (LVN) tend to be traversed quickly, which
makes them useful stop and target references. Zone width is ATR-derived by
default or fixed in points.

Calculadora CFDs v1.2 - 2026MT5 Lot & Margin Calculator for CFDs (Multi-Asset)
General Description
This tool is designed for CFD traders using platforms like MetaTrader 5 who need a fast and accurate way to calculate lot size (volume) before entering the market. The calculator solves the issue of varying contract sizes across different assets (Oil, Natural Gas, Gold, Forex, etc.) and precisely calculates the margin withheld by the broker.
Key Features:
Customizable Database: Pre-configure up to 20 different assets with their respective Contract Sizes. Once set, the script automatically detects the chart's ticker and applies the saved parameters.
Note: To find the correct Contract Size, go to MT5, right-click on the asset, select "Specification," and look for the "Contract Size" value.
Exact Margin Management: Calculate exactly how many lots to enter in MT5 based on the specific USD amount you want the broker to set aside as collateral (Margin). This value is fully adjustable in the settings.
Smart Leverage Logic: Includes automated logic for standard 2026 industry leverage levels (1:50 Forex, 1:10 Energies/Metals, 1:15 Cash Indices, 1:2 Crypto), with a manual override option.
High-Contrast Visualization: A clean and professional table interface with adjustable positioning on the chart (Top Right/Left, Bottom Right/Left).
Real-Time Data: All calculations are performed using the live price and data source of the ticker currently displayed on your chart.
Instructions for Use:
In the "Inputs" tab, enter your frequent tickers (e.g., XTIUSD, NAT.GAS) and their contract sizes according to your broker's specifications.
Define the "Margin to Retain" (the amount in USD you wish to use as collateral for the trade).
The indicator will instantly display the MT5 LOT size to enter into your trading terminal.
Use the "Save as Default" option in the settings to ensure your 20 assets remain saved for future sessions. Indicator
Retail Sentiment Indicator - Multi-Asset CFD & Fear/Greed IndexRetail Sentiment Indicator - Multi-Asset CFD & Fear/Greed Index
Overview
The Retail Sentiment Indicator provides real-time sentiment data for major financial instruments including stocks, forex, commodities, and cryptocurrencies. This indicator displays retail trader positioning and market sentiment using CFD data and fear/greed indices.
Methodology and Scale Calculation
This indicator operates on a **-50 to +50 scale** with zero representing perfect market equilibrium.
Scale Interpretation:
- **Zero (0)**: Market balance - exactly 50% of investors buying, 50% selling
- **Positive values**: Majority buying pressure
- Example: If 63% of investors are buying, the indicator shows +13 (63 - 50 = +13)
- **Negative values**: Majority selling pressure
- Example: If 92% of investors are selling, the indicator shows -42 (50 - 92 = -42)
BTC Fear & Greed Index Scaling:
The original `BTC FEAR&GREED` index is natively scaled from 0-100 by its creator. In our indicator, this data has been rescaled to also fit the -50 to +50 range for consistency with other sentiment data sources.
This unified scaling approach allows for direct comparison across all instruments and data sources within the indicator.

Trading Strategy & Market Philosophy
Contrarian Trading Approach
The primary purpose of this indicator is based on the fundamental market principle that **the majority of retail investors are often wrong**, and markets typically move opposite to the positions held by the majority of market participants.
Key Strategy Guidelines:
- **Contrarian Signal**: When the majority of users are positioned on one side of the market, there is statistically greater market advantage in taking positions in the opposite direction
- **Trend Exhaustion Signal**: An interesting observed phenomenon occurs when, during a long-lasting trend where the majority of investors have consistently been on the wrong side, the Sentiment indicator suddenly shows that the majority has flipped and opened positions in the direction of that long-running trend. This is often a signal of fuel exhaustion for further movement in that direction
Interpretation Examples
- High greed readings (majority bullish) → Consider bearish opportunities
- High fear readings (majority bearish) → Consider bullish opportunities
- Sudden sentiment flip during established trends → Potential trend reversal signal
Technical Notes
- Built with PineScript v6
- Dynamic symbol detection with fallback options
- Optimized for performance with minimal resource usage
- Color-coded visualization with customizable zones

Data Infrastructure Status
Current Data Upload Process:
Please note that sentiment data uploads may occasionally experience minor interruptions. However, this should not pose significant issues as sentiment data typically changes gradually rather than rapidly.
Infrastructure Development:
We are actively working on establishing permanent cloud-based infrastructure to ensure continuous, automated data collection and upload processes. This will provide more reliable and consistent data availability in the future.
Disclaimer
This indicator is for educational and informational purposes only. Sentiment data should be used as part of a comprehensive trading strategy and not as the sole basis for trading decisions. Past performance does not guarantee future results. The contrarian approach described is a market theory and may not always produce profitable results. Indicator
