Currency Strength - Manual Biases Currency Strength — Manual Biases
Most currency strength meters calculate strength from price change over X bars. This one works the other way around: you provide the input. It turns your own directional biases per pair into a ranked currency strength table.
How it works
Each pair bias is a pairwise comparison between two currencies:
EUR/NZD short → NZD is stronger than EUR
GBP/USD short → USD is stronger than GBP
For every bias you set, the stronger currency gets +1 and the weaker one −1. The table (top right of your chart) ranks all currencies from strongest to weakest, showing each currency's net score and the number of pairs it was compared in.
Usage
Open the settings and set a bias per pair: "Long" (base currency stronger), "Short" (quote currency stronger), or "—" (pair not included). All 28 major and cross pairs of the 8 major currencies (EUR, GBP, AUD, NZD, USD, CAD, CHF, JPY) are available. The more pairs you assess, the more reliable the ranking — with only a few biases, one wrong assessment can flip the order.
Why manual instead of automatic?
If your methodology is built on your own top-down analysis, an automatic strength meter measures something different from what you actually trade. This tool doesn't replace your analysis — it organizes it. It shows you the ranking that logically follows from your own pair assessments, so you can spot which pairs combine your strongest and weakest currencies, and check whether your biases are internally consistent.
Note: the ranking is only as good as the biases you feed it. This is an organizational tool, not a signal generator — always validate any pair against your own trading plan before taking a setup. Indicator
ICT Fractal SMT Divergence Engine [v6]
ENGLISH
🔥 ICT Fractal SMT Divergence & Auto-Triad Engine is a professional, high-precision PulseWire indicator designed for Smart Money Concepts (SMC) and Inner Circle Trader (ICT) methodology.
🎯 PURPOSE & CONCEPT
In institutional trading, SMT (Smart Money Technique) Divergence measures inter-market relative strength across correlated asset groups (Triads). When one asset in a triad sweeps liquidity by creating a new extreme ( Lower Low or Higher High ), while a correlated asset fails to sweep that extreme ( Higher Low or Lower High ), it reveals institutional accumulation/distribution and an imminent high-probability market reversal.
This indicator calculates SMT divergences strictly between confirmed Bill Williams / ICT Fractals , ensuring pixel-perfect visual precision on the chart with zero Y-axis displacement.
🧠 SMART AUTO-DETECT TRIAD ENGINE
The indicator automatically recognizes your current chart ticker and instantly pairs it with its exact correlated triad assets:
Crypto : Opening BTCUSDT.P, ETHUSDT.P, or any Altcoin automatically pairs BTCUSDT.P, ETHUSDT.P, and CRYPTOCAP:TOTAL3.
Forex : Opening EURUSD or GBPUSD automatically pairs the counterpart FX pair and DXY (with automatic inverse Dollar Index correlation).
Precious Metals : Opening XAUUSD (Gold) pairs XAGUSD (Silver) and PLATINUM. Opening XAGUSD pairs XAUUSD and PLATINUM.
US Stock Indices : Automatically correlates ES1! (S&P 500), NQ1! (Nasdaq), and YM1! (Dow Jones).
📖 HOW TO TRADE / USAGE RULES
Bullish SMT Setup (Long Bias) :
- Main asset breaks prior Fractal Low (Lower Low / Liquidity Sweep).
- Correlated triad asset holds its low (Higher Low).
- Execution: Look for bullish Market Structure Shift (MSS) or Fair Value Gap (FVG) entry.
Bearish SMT Setup (Short Bias) :
- Main asset breaks prior Fractal High (Higher High / Liquidity Sweep).
- Correlated triad asset holds its high (Lower High).
- Execution: Look for bearish Market Structure Shift (MSS) or Fair Value Gap (FVG) entry.

РУССКАЯ ВЕРСИЯ
🔥 ICT Fractal SMT Divergence & Auto-Triad Engine — это профессиональный высокоточный индикатор для трейдеров, торгующих по концепциям Smart Money Concepts (SMC / ICT) .
🎯 ПРЕДНАЗНАЧЕНИЕ И КОНЦЕПЦИЯ
В институциональном трейдинге SMT (Smart Money Technique) Дивергенция измеряет относительную силу между коррелирующими группами активов (Триадами). Когда один актив из триады обновляет ключевой ценовой уровень ( Lower Low или Higher High ), совершая снятие ликвидности (Liquidity Sweep) , а второй актив из триады отказывается обновлять свой экстремум (формируя Higher Low или Lower High ), это открывает институциональный след крупного игрока и указывает на скорый разворот рынка.
Индикатор строит дивергенции строго между подтвержденными фракталами Билла Вильямса / ICT , обеспечивая идеальную визуальную точность на графике без смещения меток по ценовой оси.
🧠 УМНЫЙ АВТО-ДЕТЕКТОР ТРИАД (SMART AUTO-DETECT)
Индикатор автоматически определяет открытый актив и мгновенно связывает его с правильной триадой:
Криптовалюта : При открытии BTCUSDT.P, ETHUSDT.P или любого альткоина автоматически подтягиваются коррелирующие активы: BTCUSDT.P, ETHUSDT.P и CRYPTOCAP:TOTAL3.
Валютные пары (Forex) : При открытии EURUSD или GBPUSD подтягивается парный валютный актив и DXY (с автоматической инверсией индекса доллара).
Драгоценные металлы : При открытии XAUUSD (Золото) автоматически подтягивается XAGUSD (Серебро) и PLATINUM. При открытии XAGUSD — XAUUSD и PLATINUM.
Фондовые индексы США : Автоматическое сравнение триады фьючерсов ES1! (S&P 500), NQ1! (Nasdaq) и YM1! (Dow Jones).
📖 РУКОВОДСТВО ПО ТОРГОВЛЕ И СИГНАЛЫ
Bullish SMT (Бычий SMT / Покупки) :
- Основной актив обновил предыдущий фрактальный лой (Lower Low / снял ликвидность).
- Коррелирующий актив из триады удержал лой (Higher Low).
- Вход в сделку: Ищите слом структуры (MSS / CHoCH) или имбаланс (FVG) на младшем таймфрейме для входа в лонг.
Bearish SMT (Медвежий SMT / Продажи) :
- Основной актив обновил предыдущий фрактальный хай (Higher High / снял ликвидность).
- Коррелирующий актив из триады удержал хай (Lower High).
- Вход в сделку: Ищите слом структуры (MSS / CHoCH) или имбаланс (FVG) на младшем таймфрейме для входа в шорт.

ICT Sessions & Killzones - Asia London NY + Liquidity[LunqFX]ICT Sessions & Killzones is a modern smart-money session indicator for PulseWire that maps the three global trading sessions — Asia, London and New York — as clean, colour-coded ranges and, unlike most session tools, automatically detects liquidity sweeps: the exact moment price raids a previous session's high or low and rejects it. It turns the daily rhythm of the market — the ICT killzones, session opens, and the liquidity pools left behind — into a clear, actionable map. Works on forex, crypto, indices, futures and gold (XAUUSD), on any intraday timeframe. Built in Pine Script v6. Keywords: ICT, killzones, sessions, Asia session, London session, New York session, liquidity, liquidity sweep, stop hunt, smart money concepts, SMC, session high low, opening range, forex, crypto, day trading, scalping.
◆ WHY SESSIONS MATTER
Price does not move randomly — it moves in sessions. Asia sets the range, London expands it, New York reverses or continues it. The highs and lows each session leaves behind become liquidity pools — resting stop orders that smart money targets. Knowing where those levels are, which session is active, and when a level gets swept is the core of session-based and ICT trading. This tool puts all of that on your chart automatically.
◆ WHAT IT DRAWS
Session boxes — Asia (violet), London (teal) and New York (gold) ranges drawn automatically from each session's high and low, kept across history so you can study the pattern.
Previous-session liquidity levels — the last completed session's high and low extended forward as dashed lines. These are the magnets price hunts next.
Liquidity sweep markers — a compact, colour-coded arrow (▲/▼ with the session code A / L / NY) printed when price wicks beyond a prior session extreme and closes back inside — a real stop-raid / rejection. Hover any marker for the full detail.
Neon gradient candles — turquoise up / magenta down, intensity scaled by momentum.
◆ THE LIVE DASHBOARD
A clean, colour-railed panel that reads the sessions at a glance:
Active session — which session is open right now (● marks any that are live; London and New York overlap in real hours, so both can be active).
Range per session — each session's high–low.
Range in pips — how far each session actually moved.
★ Widest range — the session that dominated the day (the "power session").
Timezone readout, fully themeable, adjustable text size.
◆ HOW IT WORKS
Every bar is assigned to a session from its own timestamp (no repainting from higher-timeframe data). The session's running high and low build the box in real time. When a new session opens, the previous session's extremes are locked in as liquidity levels. A liquidity sweep is flagged only when price trades beyond a prior session's high/low and then closes back inside it — a genuine rejection — so a clean break straight through does not trigger a false signal. This keeps the chart clean and every sweep meaningful.
◆ HOW TO USE IT
Trade the killzones. The London and New York opens produce the biggest, cleanest moves — focus your entries there.
Use prior session highs/lows as targets. Untapped levels act as magnets; price often runs them before reversing.
Fade or follow sweeps. When a sweep prints, the raid has taken liquidity — fade it back into range, or trade the reversal in the opposite direction.
Read the dashboard for context. Know which session is active and which had the widest range before you commit.
Set your times/timezone. Adjust each session's hours and the timezone in the settings to match your market and broker.
Combine with your own market structure, order blocks or bias for higher-probability confluence.
◆ SETTINGS
Session times & colours (Asia / London / New York), timezone, session boxes (soft fill or outline), previous-session levels with adjustable extension, liquidity sweep markers, neon candles, and a dashboard (show/hide, position, text size, background).
◆ ALERTS
Liquidity sweep — fires when any previous-session high or low is swept.
◆ LIMITATIONS
Sessions are an intraday concept — use a 1m to 4h timeframe. On daily or higher the panel shows a reminder and no sessions are drawn.
Default session times are in GMT; set the timezone and hours to match your instrument and broker feed, as session boundaries vary by symbol.
A liquidity sweep shows that a level was raided and rejected — it is context and confluence, not a standalone buy/sell signal.
Session ranges reflect the data of your chart's feed; different brokers can differ slightly.
◆ ORIGINALITY & NON-REPAINTING
Original work — the session engine, the rejection-based liquidity-sweep detection, the previous-session liquidity levels and the dashboard are all my own implementation; no third-party code is used. Sessions and levels are built from each bar's own timestamp with no higher-timeframe lookahead, so a sweep printed on a closed bar stays.

SMT Sniper Entry Engine [trade_w_samet]🎯 SMT Sniper Entry Engine
SMT Sniper Entry Engine is a structured correlated-market divergence and confirmation indicator designed to help traders study liquidity sweeps, SMT divergence, reclaim quality, pair correlation, external-range location, displacement, Fair Value Gap evidence, micro-structure confirmation, and permanent bar-close UP or DOWN signals through one coordinated workflow.
The script is built around one central idea:
An SMT divergence should not automatically become an entry signal.
Instead of treating every difference between two correlated markets as equally meaningful, the engine first identifies a one-market liquidity sweep, then evaluates reclaim behavior, ATR-normalized sweep depth, candle direction, rejection quality, range expansion, pair correlation, external-range location, and divergence separation before the SMT event is accepted.
A qualified SMT event still does not create an immediate final signal.
The accepted SMT event arms a temporary confirmation sequence.
The engine then waits for directional displacement, a confirmed break of the SMT candle, and the additional evidence required by the active Engine Preset before a permanent UP or DOWN label is printed.
The indicator includes:
• Automatic comparison-symbol selection for supported metals, indices, cryptocurrencies, forex majors, and common forex crosses
• Manual comparison-symbol mode
• Same-timeframe comparison-market data
• Closed-bar rolling liquidity references
• Current-bar-close SMT divergence detection
• Either-market sweep acceptance
• Same-bar liquidity reclaim validation
• ATR-normalized sweep-depth measurement
• Chart-candle direction filtering
• Rejection-close filtering
• Minimum range-expansion filtering
• Separate bullish and bearish 0–100 Base Quality Scores
• Log-return pair-correlation analysis
• External-range location filtering
• ATR-normalized divergence-separation analysis
• Separate bullish and bearish 0–100 Sniper Scores
• Standard, Sniper, and Elite Engine Presets
• A temporary eight-bar confirmation window
• Sequential evidence accumulation across separate closed candles
• Directional displacement confirmation
• SMT-candle break confirmation
• Fair Value Gap confirmation
• Micro-structure break confirmation
• ATR-buffered setup invalidation
• Setup expiration
• Directional SMT cooldown
• Final signal cooldown
• One final UP or DOWN signal per completed SMT sequence
• Minimal historical SMT markers
• Dotted historical SMT reference lines
• Blue UP and orange DOWN labels
• Adjustable UP / DOWN label size
• Signal-confirming FVG boxes
• Recent-only chart-object
• A premium bottom-right dashboard
• Static PulseWire alert conditions
• Combined dynamic alert() support
• “Any alert() function call” compatibility
• Data Window diagnostics
• Confirmed-close permanent signals
• No pivot functions
• No future-bar confirmation
• No historical signal backplotting
The purpose of this script is to provide a structured way to study when a correlated-market divergence is supported by sufficient liquidity, correlation, location, reaction, and confirmation evidence.
It is not financial advice.
It is not an automated trading system.
It does not guarantee profitable trades.
It does not execute broker orders.
It does not calculate position size.

📌 OVERVIEW
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
At a high level, SMT Sniper Entry Engine does the following:
• Selects a comparison market automatically or manually.
• Requests the comparison market’s open, high, low, close, and ATR data on the chart timeframe.
• Builds rolling liquidity references from already completed candles.
• Checks whether only one market swept its corresponding liquidity reference.
• Requires the sweeping market to reclaim the reference on the same completed candle.
• Measures sweep depth relative to ATR.
• Evaluates chart-candle direction.
• Evaluates the candle’s closing position.
• Evaluates minimum range expansion relative to ATR.
• Produces separate bullish and bearish 0–100 Base Quality Scores.
• Measures the relationship between chart and comparison-market returns.
• Evaluates whether bullish SMT appears near the lower portion of the external range.
• Evaluates whether bearish SMT appears near the upper portion of the external range.
• Measures how clearly the non-sweeping market held its own liquidity reference.
• Produces separate bullish and bearish 0–100 Sniper Scores.
• Applies Standard, Sniper, or Elite acceptance thresholds.
• Confirms a qualified SMT event only after the current candle closes.
• Arms a temporary sequential confirmation window.
• Accumulates displacement, SMT-candle break, FVG, and structure evidence.
• Invalidates the setup if price closes beyond the SMT extreme by the stored ATR buffer.
• Expires the setup when confirmation does not arrive inside the available window.
• Applies final signal cooldown protection.
• Prints a permanent blue UP or orange DOWN label only after every required condition is confirmed.
• Optionally draws the FVG associated with the final signal.
• Displays current engine state, comparison symbol, correlation, active score, and signal counts in the dashboard.
• Provides separate static alert conditions.
• Provides one combined dynamic final-signal alert workflow.
• Exposes internal diagnostic values through PulseWire’s Data Window.
The indicator does not use machine-learning prediction.
Its scores are not probabilities.
Its signal counts are not wins and losses.
Its labels do not promise future direction.
The script is a rule-based educational framework that explains how a raw correlated-market divergence becomes an accepted, rejected, invalidated, expired, or finally confirmed setup.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🧠 CORE IDEA
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The core idea behind SMT Sniper Entry Engine is that two markets with a meaningful positive relationship do not always take corresponding liquidity at the same time.
When one market trades beyond a prior liquidity reference while the other market holds its own reference, the difference can create an SMT divergence.
However, the divergence alone contains limited information.
A basic SMT event does not automatically explain:
• whether the sweep was meaningful relative to volatility
• whether the sweeping market reclaimed the reference
• whether the chart candle closed with directional rejection
• whether the candle range expanded enough to matter
• whether the selected markets remain sufficiently correlated
• whether the event occurred near a useful external-range location
• whether the non-sweeping market clearly held its own level
• whether price produced directional displacement afterward
• whether the SMT candle was actually broken
• whether an FVG or micro-structure break confirmed the reaction
• whether the setup remained valid during the confirmation window
• whether another recent final signal is still inside the cooldown period
The engine therefore uses a staged sequence:
comparison-market selection
→ closed-bar liquidity references
→ one-market sweep
→ same-bar reclaim
→ Base Quality Score
→ pair-correlation validation
→ external-range location
→ divergence-separation validation
→ Sniper Score
→ confirmed SMT event
→ temporary setup arming
→ sequential reaction evidence
→ invalidation or expiration control
→ permanent UP or DOWN signal
For bullish conditions, the engine studies prior-low liquidity, bullish rejection, lower external-range location, directional displacement, a close above the SMT candle high, and bullish confirmation evidence.
For bearish conditions, the same process is mirrored around prior highs.
The purpose is not to produce the largest possible number of signals.
The purpose is to make the acceptance process selective, visible, and understandable.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🧩 WHY THIS SCRIPT IS NOT A SIMPLE BUY/SELL INDICATOR
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
SMT Sniper Entry Engine is not designed to be used as a blind signal generator.
A raw correlated-market divergence must move through multiple stages:
One market sweeps liquidity
→ the comparison market does not make the same sweep
→ the sweeping market reclaims its reference
→ sweep depth is evaluated
→ chart-candle direction is checked
→ rejection-close quality is checked
→ range expansion is checked
→ the Base Quality Score is calculated
→ pair correlation is checked
→ external-range location is checked
→ divergence separation is checked
→ the Sniper Score is calculated
→ the SMT event is accepted
→ the confirmation window opens
→ directional displacement is accumulated
→ the SMT candle must be broken
→ FVG and/or micro-structure evidence is accumulated
→ the setup must avoid invalidation
→ the setup must confirm before expiration
→ the final UP or DOWN label appears
Each module serves a different purpose.
The comparison engine defines the external market used for SMT analysis.
The liquidity engine identifies the one-market sweep.
The reclaim engine checks whether the liquidity event closed back inside the reference.
The Base Quality Score evaluates the completed SMT candle.
The Sniper Context Engine evaluates correlation, location, separation, and sweep quality.
The sequential confirmation engine evaluates what price does after the SMT event.
The invalidation and expiration controls remove setups that no longer satisfy the intended sequence.
The dashboard explains the current engine state.
This makes the script a coordinated SMT-confirmation workflow rather than a simple divergence marker.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
⚙️ HOW THE SCRIPT WORKS
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The script operates through connected calculation stages.
First, the engine selects a comparison symbol.
Auto mode uses the built-in symbol matrix.
Manual mode uses the symbol selected by the user.
The comparison market is requested on the same timeframe as the chart.
= request.security(
comparisonSymbol,
timeframe.period,
,
gaps = barmerge.gaps_off,
lookahead = barmerge.lookahead_off,
ignore_invalid_symbol = true)
The request uses lookahead_off.
The engine then calculates rolling chart and comparison-market liquidity references while excluding the current candle.
float chartPriorLow = ta.lowest(low , referenceLookback)
float chartPriorHigh = ta.highest(high , referenceLookback)
float comparisonPriorLow = ta.lowest(comparisonLow , referenceLookback)
float comparisonPriorHigh = ta.highest(comparisonHigh , referenceLookback)
The default reference lookback is 12 bars.
A bullish divergence is possible when one market sweeps a prior low and the other market does not.
A bearish divergence is possible when one market sweeps a prior high and the other market does not.
The sweeping market must reclaim the level on the same completed candle.
The candidate is then evaluated through:
• ATR-normalized sweep depth
• chart-candle direction
• close location
• range expansion
• Base Quality Score
• pair correlation
• external-range location
• divergence separation
• Sniper Score
• directional cooldown
When the SMT event is accepted, the engine stores:
• setup direction
• SMT bar
• SMT extreme
• SMT reaction trigger
• current ATR
• Base Quality Score
• Sniper Score
• sequential evidence states
• first confirmed FVG coordinates
The engine then monitors the next closed candles.
A final signal is accepted only when the active preset’s required evidence is present and the setup has not invalidated or expired.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🟢 BULLISH SMT LOGIC
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
A bullish SMT candidate begins at prior lows.
The engine checks the chart symbol and comparison market together.
A bullish sweep divergence exists when either:
• the chart symbol trades below its prior low while the comparison market does not trade below its corresponding prior low
• the comparison market trades below its prior low while the chart symbol does not trade below its corresponding prior low
The engine accepts a sweep from either market.
The sweeping market must reclaim the prior-low reference when reclaim validation is active.
The completed chart candle must also satisfy the active quality requirements.
The default Sniper profile evaluates:
• sufficient ATR-normalized sweep depth
• bullish chart-candle direction
• a close in the stronger portion of the candle
• minimum candle-range expansion
• minimum Base Quality Score
• minimum positive pair correlation
• location near the lower portion of the external range
• minimum divergence separation
• minimum Sniper Score
• directional SMT cooldown availability
bool bullishSmtEvent =
bullishRawSmtCandidate and
bullishSniperPass and
bullishCooldownPass
When the bullish SMT event is confirmed, the engine stores:
• the SMT low as the bullish invalidation extreme
• the SMT high as the bullish reaction-break trigger
• the current ATR
• the current Base Quality Score
• the current Sniper Score
The confirmation sequence then waits for:
• bullish displacement
• a close above the SMT candle high
• FVG and/or micro-structure evidence according to the active preset
The bullish SMT marker is context.
The final blue UP label is the completed signal.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🔴 BEARISH SMT LOGIC
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
A bearish SMT candidate begins at prior highs.
A bearish sweep divergence exists when either:
• the chart symbol trades above its prior high while the comparison market does not trade above its corresponding prior high
• the comparison market trades above its prior high while the chart symbol does not trade above its corresponding prior high
The sweeping market must reclaim the prior-high reference when reclaim validation is active.
The completed chart candle must also satisfy the active quality requirements.
The default Sniper profile evaluates:
• sufficient ATR-normalized sweep depth
• bearish chart-candle direction
• a close in the weaker portion of the candle
• minimum candle-range expansion
• minimum Base Quality Score
• minimum positive pair correlation
• location near the upper portion of the external range
• minimum divergence separation
• minimum Sniper Score
• directional SMT cooldown availability
When the bearish SMT event is confirmed, the engine stores:
• the SMT high as the bearish invalidation extreme
• the SMT low as the bearish reaction-break trigger
• the current ATR
• the current Base Quality Score
• the current Sniper Score
The confirmation sequence then waits for:
• bearish displacement
• a close below the SMT candle low
• FVG and/or micro-structure evidence according to the active preset
The bearish SMT marker is context.
The final orange DOWN label is the completed signal.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
💎 SMT QUALITY FILTER SYSTEM
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The script calculates separate bullish and bearish Base Quality Scores.
The score evaluates the completed SMT candle and its underlying liquidity event.
Each score is limited to 0–100.
The components are:
Sweep Role — maximum 25 points
The event must contain a valid one-market liquidity sweep.
Only one market should take the corresponding prior high or prior low.
Reclaim — maximum 20 points
The sweeping market must close back inside its prior liquidity reference.
Sweep Depth — maximum 20 points
The distance beyond the reference is measured relative to the corresponding market’s ATR.
Chart Candle Direction — maximum 15 points
Bullish SMT prefers a bullish chart candle.
Bearish SMT prefers a bearish chart candle.
Rejection Close — maximum 10 points
Bullish SMT prefers the chart close toward the high of the candle.
Bearish SMT prefers the chart close toward the low.
Range Expansion — maximum 10 points
The chart candle’s total range is compared with chart ATR.
The total score structure is:
25 + 20 + 20 + 15 + 10 + 10 = 100 points.
Preset-dependent minimum Base Quality Scores are:
• Standard: 60
• Sniper: 75
• Elite: 85
The Base Quality Score is not a win rate.
It is not a probability.
It measures how closely the completed SMT event matches the engine’s liquidity and candle-quality framework.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📏 VOLATILITY / ATR NORMALIZATION FILTER
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The indicator uses ATR normalization to compare distances across changing volatility conditions.
ATR normalization is applied to:
• chart-side sweep depth
• comparison-side sweep depth
• divergence separation
• displacement body size
• setup invalidation buffer
• chart-candle range expansion
Sweep depth is calculated in relation to the ATR of the market that performed the sweep.
For example:
Chart Sweep Depth = distance beyond chart reference / chart ATR.
Comparison Sweep Depth = distance beyond comparison reference / comparison ATR.
Preset-dependent minimum sweep depth is:
• Standard: 0.04 ATR
• Sniper: 0.10 ATR
• Elite: 0.18 ATR
The chart candle must also meet a minimum range-to-ATR requirement:
• Standard: 0.40 ATR
• Sniper: 0.60 ATR
• Elite: 0.85 ATR
The setup invalidation buffer is based on the ATR stored when the SMT event occurs.
The default buffer is 0.10 ATR beyond the SMT extreme.
ATR normalization helps reduce dependence on raw price units.
It does not make one configuration universal.
Different symbols, sessions, data feeds, and market conditions can still produce different behavior.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🕯️ DISPLACEMENT QUALITY FILTER
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
After an SMT event is accepted, the engine requires directional displacement before a final signal can appear.
A bullish displacement candle requires:
• a confirmed closed candle
• close above open
• body size of at least 0.45 ATR
• body-to-range ratio of at least 0.55
• upper wick no greater than 0.35 of the full candle range
A bearish displacement candle requires:
• a confirmed closed candle
• close below open
• body size of at least 0.45 ATR
• body-to-range ratio of at least 0.55
• lower wick no greater than 0.35 of the full candle range
bool bullishDisplacement =
barstate.isconfirmed and
close > open and
signalCandleBody >= chartAtr * displacementBodyAtr and
signalBodyRatio >= displacementBodyPercent and
bullishOppositeWickRatio <= maximumOppositeWickPercent and
bullishPreviousBreakPass
The bearish process is mirrored.
The previous-bar break option is disabled in the locked default engine.
The more important directional reaction requirement is the SMT-candle break.
Displacement confirms that the market produced a completed directional response after the SMT event.
It does not guarantee continuation.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📊 REACTION STRENGTH FILTER
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The engine does not require every confirmation component to appear on the same candle.
Instead, reaction evidence can accumulate across separate closed candles inside the temporary confirmation window.
The engine tracks:
• displacement
• SMT-candle break
• Fair Value Gap
• micro-structure break
Bullish SMT-candle break:
• price must close above the stored SMT candle high
Bearish SMT-candle break:
• price must close below the stored SMT candle low
Bullish FVG:
• current low is above the high from two bars earlier
Bearish FVG:
• current high is below the low from two bars earlier
Bullish micro-structure break:
• current close exceeds the highest high from the previous five closed bars
Bearish micro-structure break:
• current close falls below the lowest low from the previous five closed bars
Evidence is persistent while the setup remains active.
For example:
SMT event
→ displacement appears
→ FVG appears later
→ structure break appears on another candle
→ final signal confirms
The active Engine Preset determines which accumulated evidence is required.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🧼 CONFIRMED SIGNAL FILTER
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Permanent SMT events and final UP / DOWN labels wait for candle close.
The engine uses confirmed-bar checks for:
• raw SMT candidates
• final SMT acceptance
• displacement
• FVG detection
• micro-structure breaks
• setup invalidation
• final UP signals
• final DOWN signals
The comparison-market request uses lookahead_off.
Rolling liquidity references exclude the current candle.
No future candle is used to decide whether the current candle contains an SMT event.
No final signal is plotted back onto the original SMT candle after later evidence becomes available.
The confirmation opportunity is temporary.
The default window is eight bars.
The minimum delay is one bar after the SMT event.
If the active evidence does not complete in time, the setup expires.
Historical output can still change when:
• Engine Preset changes
• comparison symbol changes
• Auto or Manual mode changes
• chart symbol changes
• timeframe changes
• exchange or broker feed changes
• historical data is revised
• the loaded history range changes
Confirmed-close logic prevents unfinished-candle conditions from becoming permanent chart signals.
It does not mean all brokers or data feeds will produce identical historical output.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🎯 ENTRY MODEL
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
SMT Sniper Entry Engine uses a confirmed-signal entry model rather than a built-in broker-order model.
A final directional setup is created only when:
• a qualified SMT event exists
• the confirmation window is open
• the setup has not invalidated
• all preset-required evidence has been accumulated
• final signal cooldown is available
• the current candle is confirmed
The final signal reference is the close of the candle where the UP or DOWN label is printed.
For an UP setup:
• the label appears below the confirmed signal candle
• the signal represents completed bullish SMT confirmation
For a DOWN setup:
• the label appears above the confirmed signal candle
• the signal represents completed bearish SMT confirmation
The script does not automatically calculate:
• an entry line
• a stop-loss level
• take-profit targets
• position size
• account risk
• broker quantity
• trade outcome
The final signal-bar close can be used as an analytical reference.
It is not a guaranteed fill.
Users must define their own execution, invalidation, stop, target, and risk model.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🔗 COMPARISON MARKET MODEL
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The indicator supports Auto and Manual comparison-symbol modes.
Auto mode recognizes common ticker text and assigns a predefined positively related market.
Built-in mappings include:
Metals
• XAU or GOLD → OANDA:XAGUSD
• XAG or SILVER → OANDA:XAUUSD
Indices
• NAS, US100, USTEC, NDX, or NQ → OANDA:SPX500USD
• SPX, US500, SP500, or ES → OANDA:NAS100USD
• US30, DJI, DOW, or YM → OANDA:SPX500USD
Cryptocurrencies
• BTC → BINANCE:ETHUSDT
• ETH → BINANCE:BTCUSDT
Forex majors
• EURUSD ↔ GBPUSD
• AUDUSD ↔ NZDUSD
• USDCAD ↔ USDCHF
• USDJPY → CADJPY
JPY crosses
• EURJPY ↔ GBPJPY
• AUDJPY ↔ NZDJPY
• CADJPY → USDJPY
• CHFJPY → EURJPY
EUR and GBP crosses
• EURAUD ↔ GBPAUD
• EURNZD ↔ GBPNZD
• EURCAD ↔ GBPCAD
• EURCHF ↔ GBPCHF
• EURGBP → GBPUSD
AUD and NZD crosses
• AUDCAD ↔ NZDCAD
• AUDCHF ↔ NZDCHF
• AUDNZD → NZDUSD
Auto mode is based on ticker-name recognition.
Broker symbols can include prefixes, suffixes, futures contract codes, or synthetic names that are not recognized by the built-in matrix.
When the chart symbol is not recognized, the engine can fall back to the Manual Comparison Symbol value.
The dashboard should therefore be checked before relying on Auto mode.
Manual mode allows the user to select the comparison market directly.
The current engine is designed for positively correlated relationships.
Selecting an inversely related market can make the correlation and SMT logic unsuitable.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🎯 SNIPER SCORE MODEL
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The engine produces separate bullish and bearish Sniper Scores.
The Sniper Score evaluates broader context around the SMT event.
The maximum score is 100.
The structure is:
Base SMT Quality — maximum 35 points
The 0–100 Base Quality Score contributes 35% of its value.
Pair Correlation — maximum 25 points
Positive effective correlation contributes proportionally.
External-Range Location — maximum 20 points
Bullish SMT receives this component when it occurs below the active maximum bullish range position.
Bearish SMT receives this component when it occurs above the active minimum bearish range position.
Divergence Separation — maximum 10 points
The event receives this component when the non-sweeping market holds its reference by at least the required ATR-normalized distance.
Sweep Depth — maximum 10 points
A valid minimum sweep receives five points.
A sweep at least 1.5 times the minimum depth receives ten points.
Minimum accepted Sniper Scores are:
• Standard: 60
• Sniper: 78
• Elite: 88
Minimum positive pair correlation is:
• Standard: 0.35
• Sniper: 0.55
• Elite: 0.70
External-range requirements are:
Bullish maximum position
• Standard: 0.45
• Sniper: 0.33
• Elite: 0.25
Bearish minimum position
• Standard: 0.55
• Sniper: 0.67
• Elite: 0.75
Minimum divergence separation is:
• Standard: 0.00 ATR
• Sniper: 0.03 ATR
• Elite: 0.08 ATR
The Sniper Score is not a probability.
A score of 88 does not mean an 88% probability of success.
It measures rule-based confluence according to this script’s internal framework.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📦 ACTIVE SMT / FVG VISUAL SYSTEM
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The script separates SMT context from final signal confirmation.
Historical SMT visuals can include:
• a dotted line from the prior chart-side liquidity reference to the SMT candle
• a minimal bullish or bearish marker near the SMT event
The default historical visual system keeps recent objects only.
The default limits are:
• eight bullish SMT lines
• eight bullish SMT markers
• eight bearish SMT lines
• eight bearish SMT markers
• ten final signal labels
• six signal FVG boxes
Older visual objects can be removed when the corresponding recent-only limit is exceeded.
This is chart-object management.
It does not move a signal to another candle.
Final signal visuals include:
UP
• blue label
• white bold-italic text
• printed below the confirmed signal candle
DOWN
• orange label
• white bold-italic text
• printed above the confirmed signal candle
Signal FVG Box
• appears only when stored FVG evidence exists
• uses the FVG that participated in the active confirmation sequence
• extends 12 bars to the right
• uses a lightly shaded bullish or bearish fill
The FVG box is an analytical confirmation visual.
It is not a guaranteed support, resistance, entry, stop, or target zone.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🚦 ONE ACTIVE SMT SETUP AT A TIME
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The script maintains one active pending SMT confirmation sequence at a time.
When a qualified bullish SMT event appears:
• the active setup direction becomes bullish
• the bullish SMT extreme and trigger are stored
• the evidence state is reset
When a qualified bearish SMT event appears:
• the active setup direction becomes bearish
• the bearish SMT extreme and trigger are stored
• the evidence state is reset
A newly accepted SMT event can therefore replace the currently stored pending setup state.
The active setup remains in memory until:
• the final UP signal confirms
• the final DOWN signal confirms
• the setup invalidates
• the setup expires
• another accepted SMT event overwrites the pending state
This design prevents multiple overlapping confirmation sequences from creating an unclear chart state.
It does not prevent the user from performing independent analysis on other markets or timeframes.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
⚠️ SEQUENTIAL CONFIRMATION WINDOW HANDLING
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The default confirmation window is eight bars.
The final signal cannot appear on the original SMT candle because the minimum bars after SMT is one.
The engine monitors each completed candle inside the window.
Evidence can be accumulated in different orders.
For example:
SMT
→ displacement
→ SMT-candle break
→ FVG
→ final signal
or:
SMT
→ FVG
→ displacement
→ SMT-candle break
→ structure break
→ final signal
Preset behavior:
Standard
Uses Reactive confirmation.
Requires:
• displacement
• SMT-candle break
Sniper
Uses Confirmed confirmation.
Requires:
• displacement
• SMT-candle break
• FVG or micro-structure break
Elite
Uses Elite confirmation.
Requires:
• displacement
• SMT-candle break
• FVG
• micro-structure break
The engine does not use the historical high-low sequence inside a candle to simulate order execution.
It evaluates whether each closed candle satisfied a defined piece of evidence.
If the setup does not complete inside the window, it expires.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🏷️ SMT SNIPER LABELS
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The indicator uses separate context and final-signal labels.
SMT Context Markers
The default SMT marker layout is Minimal.
Bullish SMT uses an upward marker.
Bearish SMT uses a downward marker.
The marker appears on the actual SMT confirmation candle.
Its tooltip can include:
• bullish or bearish SMT direction
• Sniper Score
• Base Quality Score
• effective pair correlation
• active comparison symbol
Final Signal Labels
The final labels display:
𝙐𝙋
or:
𝘿𝙊𝙒𝙉
UP uses a blue background.
DOWN uses an orange background.
The text is white.
Available final-label sizes are:
• Tiny
• Small
• Normal
• Large
• Huge
Normal is the default.
The UP tooltip can include:
• bullish SMT confirmation mode
• final stored Sniper Score
• final stored Base Quality Score
The DOWN tooltip contains the mirrored information.
The SMT marker and final signal label serve different purposes.
The SMT marker identifies the qualified correlated-market divergence.
The UP or DOWN label identifies the completed sequential confirmation.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📍 SMT DISPLAY MODES
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The indicator operates directly on the main price chart.
The public Display settings provide control over:
Show SMT
Shows or hides historical SMT markers and reference lines.
Show UP / DOWN
Shows or hides final signal labels.
UP / DOWN Label Size
Controls the size of final UP and DOWN labels.
Show Signal FVG
Shows or hides the stored FVG box associated with a final signal.
Show Dashboard
Shows or hides the premium bottom-right dashboard.
The internal visual profile uses:
• Clean layout
• Recent Only historical display
• dotted SMT reference lines
• minimal SMT markers
• normal SMT marker size
• limited historical object counts
• no separate displacement circles by default
Input values are hidden from PulseWire’s status line.
Diagnostic plots remain available in the Data Window without adding visible price-scale clutter.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🧹 SETUP INVALIDATION
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Not every accepted SMT event remains eligible.
A bullish setup invalidates when a completed candle closes below:
SMT low − stored SMT ATR × 0.10.
A bearish setup invalidates when a completed candle closes above:
SMT high + stored SMT ATR × 0.10.
The ATR value is stored when the SMT event appears.
This keeps the invalidation buffer linked to the volatility present when the setup was created.
A setup can also fail to produce a final signal because:
• the confirmation window expires
• displacement never appears
• the SMT candle is not broken
• required FVG evidence does not appear
• required structure evidence does not appear
• the final signal cooldown is active
• a newly accepted SMT event replaces the pending state
The directional SMT cooldown is 15 bars.
The final signal cooldown is eight bars.
A rejected, invalidated, or expired pending sequence does not print a final UP or DOWN label.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📟 DASHBOARD
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The indicator includes a premium dashboard in the bottom-right corner of the chart.
The header displays:
trade_w_samet • SMT SNIPER
Current State
Possible states include:
• SCANNING MARKET
• BULLISH SMT DETECTED
• BEARISH SMT DETECTED
• BULLISH SETUP BUILDING
• BEARISH SETUP BUILDING
• UP SIGNAL CONFIRMED
• DOWN SIGNAL CONFIRMED
Comparison
Displays the active comparison symbol.
Correlation
Displays the current effective pair correlation.
Engine
Displays:
• STANDARD
• SNIPER
• ELITE
Pair Mode
Displays:
• AUTO
• MANUAL
Signal Score
When a relevant setup is active, the dashboard displays:
current Sniper Score / required Sniper Score.
When no setup is active, it displays:
NO ACTIVE SETUP.
UP / DOWN Counts
Displays the number of final confirmed UP and DOWN signals calculated on the loaded chart history.
Footer
Displays:
• BAR-CLOSE
• NON-REPAINT
• LIVE
The dashboard is not PulseWire Strategy Tester.
It does not display:
• win rate
• profit factor
• expectancy
• drawdown
• net profit
• broker-verified results
UP and DOWN counts are signal counts only.
“LIVE” means the dashboard updates with the latest available script state.
It does not mean the script predicts unfinished intrabar outcomes.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🚨 ALERT SYSTEM
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
SMT Sniper Entry Engine includes static PulseWire alert conditions for:
• Bullish SMT
• Bearish SMT
• UP
• DOWN
• Any Signal
• Any SMT
Bullish SMT
Triggers when a bullish SMT event passes the complete Base Quality and Sniper acceptance process.
Bearish SMT
Triggers when a bearish SMT event passes the mirrored acceptance process.
UP
Triggers when the bullish sequential confirmation process is complete.
DOWN
Triggers when the bearish sequential confirmation process is complete.
Any Signal
Combines final UP and DOWN conditions.
Any SMT
Combines bullish and bearish SMT conditions.
The script also includes dynamic alert() messages for final UP and DOWN signals.
Dynamic messages can include:
• product name
• direction
• chart ticker
• chart timeframe
• confirmed close price
• active comparison symbol
if enableAlerts
if buySignal
alert(
"SMT Sniper | UP | " +
syminfo.ticker +
" | " +
timeframe.period +
" | Close: " +
str.tostring(close, format.mintick) +
" | Comparison: " +
comparisonSymbol,
alert.freq_once_per_bar_close)
The DOWN dynamic message uses the mirrored format.
Dynamic final-signal alerts use once-per-bar-close frequency.
Alerts are monitoring tools.
They do not place, modify, or close broker orders.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🔔 HOW TO USE ALERTS
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
For separate static conditions:
1. Add SMT Sniper Entry Engine to the chart.
2. Open PulseWire’s Create Alert window.
3. Select SMT Sniper as the condition.
4. Choose Bullish SMT, Bearish SMT, UP, DOWN, Any Signal, or Any SMT.
5. Select the desired notification method.
6. Use a confirmed-bar frequency where appropriate.
7. Test the alert before relying on it.
For one combined dynamic final-signal alert:
1. Enable Alerts in the indicator settings.
2. Open PulseWire’s Create Alert window.
3. Select SMT Sniper.
4. Select Any alert() function call.
5. Configure the delivery method.
6. Test the UP and DOWN message format.
The combined dynamic alert sends final UP and DOWN events through one PulseWire alert.
Static Any Signal also combines UP and DOWN conditions, but uses the static alertcondition() message.
When indicator settings, code, symbol, or timeframe are materially changed, an already-created PulseWire alert can continue using the script snapshot stored when that alert was created.
Recreate alerts after important configuration changes.
Alert delivery can depend on:
• PulseWire servers
• selected symbol
• selected timeframe
• market-data availability
• realtime feed status
• symbol session
• user alert configuration
• webhook or external-service availability
Creating an alert does not guarantee broker execution.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🧪 HOW TO USE THE INDICATOR
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
A practical workflow:
1. Add SMT Sniper Entry Engine to a standard candlestick chart.
2. Begin with Engine Preset set to Sniper.
3. Keep Comparison Symbol Mode on Auto for supported symbols.
4. Review the Comparison field in the dashboard.
5. If the automatic market is not appropriate, switch to Manual.
6. Select a positively related comparison market.
7. Keep Show SMT enabled while learning the setup sequence.
8. Observe the historical liquidity reference line.
9. Observe the minimal SMT marker.
10. Treat the SMT marker as context, not as the final signal.
11. Watch the dashboard state.
12. Wait for a blue UP or orange DOWN label.
13. Review the active Sniper Score and required threshold.
14. Review the correlation value.
15. Review the signal FVG box when one is available.
16. Use alerts for monitoring rather than blind execution.
17. Evaluate broader market structure independently.
18. Review session conditions, volatility, spread, and news risk.
19. Define personal entry, invalidation, stop, target, and position-size rules.
20. Test the exact symbol, timeframe, exchange, broker feed, and comparison pair personally used.
The indicator is designed for structured review.
It should not be treated as an automatic decision-maker.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
⚙️ SETTINGS REFERENCE

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🧠 WHAT MAKES THIS SCRIPT ORIGINAL
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
SMT divergence, liquidity sweeps, correlation, ATR, Fair Value Gaps, and structure breaks are familiar technical-analysis concepts.
These concepts are not unique by themselves.
The originality of SMT Sniper Entry Engine lies in the coordinated process applied to them:
automatic comparison-market selection
→ closed-bar rolling liquidity references
→ one-market liquidity sweep
→ same-bar reclaim
→ ATR-normalized Base Quality Score
→ log-return pair correlation
→ external-range location
→ ATR-normalized divergence separation
→ 0–100 Sniper Score
→ preset-driven SMT acceptance
→ temporary sequential confirmation
→ displacement evidence
→ SMT-candle break
→ FVG and micro-structure evidence
→ ATR-buffered invalidation
→ setup expiration
→ permanent UP or DOWN signal
→ recent-only visual management
→ static and dynamic alerts
→ premium diagnostic dashboard
Distinctive implementation features include:
• accepting a valid sweep from either market
• using rolling closed-bar references instead of pivot confirmation
• separating the SMT event from the final signal
• calculating separate Base Quality and Sniper Scores
• requiring positive pair correlation according to preset
• using preset-specific external-range thresholds
• measuring divergence separation relative to ATR
• accumulating confirmation evidence across separate candles
• storing the SMT candle as the reaction trigger
• storing ATR at the moment the setup is armed
• using different confirmation strictness for Standard, Sniper, and Elite
• limiting historical objects without relocating signals
• providing automatic comparison-market assistance with manual override
• supporting both static and combined dynamic alerts
• exposing detailed diagnostics through the Data Window
The script is not a simple combination of unrelated indicators.
Every module supports the same objective: determining whether a closed-bar SMT divergence has enough liquidity, correlation, location, reaction, and confirmation evidence to become a permanent final signal.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
⚠️ IMPORTANT PRACTICAL NOTES
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Signal frequency depends on:
• Engine Preset
• chart symbol
• comparison symbol
• ticker naming
• timeframe
• session
• volatility
• pair correlation
• liquidity-reference structure
• sweep depth
• chart-candle quality
• external-range location
• divergence separation
• directional cooldown
• post-SMT displacement
• SMT-candle break
• FVG evidence
• micro-structure evidence
• final signal cooldown
• available history
• data provider
Standard can produce more setups.
Elite can produce substantially fewer setups.
Fewer signals do not guarantee better results.
The built-in Auto matrix uses predefined OANDA and BINANCE symbols.
The chart symbol can come from another broker or exchange.
Different feeds can produce:
• different highs and lows
• different candle closes
• different ATR values
• different liquidity sweeps
• different correlation readings
• different final signals
Manual mode can be used when comparison-feed consistency is important.
The current engine expects a positive relationship.
An inversely related comparison market should not be selected.
The dashboard’s UP and DOWN values are signal counts.
They are not wins and losses.
The Signal Score is a confluence score.
It is not historical accuracy.
The SMT marker is not the final signal.
The final UP or DOWN label appears after post-SMT confirmation.
Changing settings recalculates historical conditions.
Changing the comparison market can materially change the script’s output.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
⚠️ LIMITATIONS AND SHORTCOMINGS
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
This script has important limitations:
It does not guarantee profitable trades.
It does not predict future price movement.
It does not execute orders.
It does not place broker stops.
It does not place take-profit orders.
It does not calculate position size.
It does not include spread.
It does not include commission.
It does not include slippage.
It does not include latency.
It does not model partial fills.
It does not model financing or swap.
It does not evaluate order-book conditions.
It does not evaluate news risk.
It uses bar-based OHLC data.
It does not reconstruct exact intrabar price sequence.
It assumes a positive comparison relationship.
Its automatic matrix cannot recognize every broker symbol.
Unsupported Auto symbols can use the Manual Comparison fallback.
Correlation can change over time.
A historically correlated pair can temporarily decouple.
A confirmed SMT divergence can fail.
A displacement candle can be followed by reversal.
An FVG can be filled immediately.
A micro-structure break can become a false break.
A high Base Quality Score can still fail.
A high Sniper Score can still fail.
The Signal Score is not a win probability.
The dashboard is not PulseWire Strategy Tester.
Signal counts are not audited account performance.
The script does not provide verified profitability statistics.
The script does not provide broker-verified trade outcomes.
Alert delivery depends on PulseWire and user configuration.
Changing settings changes historical calculations.
Changing symbol, exchange, session, timeframe, or feed can change signals.
Available history can affect rolling calculations.
Permanent final signals wait for candle close.
The final label can therefore appear later than a discretionary intrabar entry.
For these reasons, the indicator should be used as an educational decision-support tool, not as a standalone automated strategy.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
👤 WHO THIS SCRIPT MAY BE USEFUL FOR
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
This script may be useful for traders who:
• understand basic SMT divergence
• compare positively related markets
• study liquidity sweeps and reclaims
• want more context than a raw SMT marker
• prefer confirmed-close signals
• want selective preset modes
• use displacement as confirmation
• use Fair Value Gap concepts
• use micro-structure breaks
• want automatic comparison-market assistance
• want a manual comparison override
• want transparent quality scoring
• want a compact public settings menu
• want a premium dashboard
• want separate SMT and final-signal alerts
• want one combined UP / DOWN dynamic alert
• want Data Window diagnostics
It may be less suitable for users who:
• want guaranteed signals
• want every raw SMT divergence displayed
• want a fully automated trading bot
• want built-in TP and SL management
• want verified Strategy Tester performance
• want inverse-correlation SMT analysis
• expect one comparison pair to work on every feed

• want the indicator to replace personal judgment
• expect alerts to execute broker orders automatically
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🧭 BEST PRACTICE SUGGESTIONS
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
For the default selective profile:
• use standard candlesticks
• begin with Sniper preset
• keep Auto mode only when the dashboard comparison is appropriate
• use Manual mode for broker-specific comparison control
• select positively related markets
• keep Show SMT enabled while learning
• distinguish the SMT marker from the final signal
• wait for the final UP or DOWN label
• review the correlation value
• review the active Signal Score
• review external market structure independently
• consider session liquidity and volatility
• use personal stop placement
• use personal target planning
• use personal position sizing
• test alerts before depending on them
• test the exact symbol and timeframe personally used
For additional frequency:
• use Standard preset
Standard reduces:
• Base Quality requirements
• correlation requirements
• range-location restrictions
• divergence-separation requirements
• Sniper Score threshold
• final confirmation evidence
For additional selectivity:
• use Elite preset
Elite increases:
• minimum sweep depth
• rejection-close requirement
• minimum range expansion
• Base Quality threshold
• correlation threshold
• external-range restriction
• divergence-separation threshold
• Sniper Score threshold
• final evidence requirement
Always:
• wait for the candle to close
• verify the active comparison symbol
• use the SMT marker as context
• use the final signal as confirmation
• review broader structure independently
• review personal risk before any trade
• treat alerts as monitoring tools
• remember that every confirmed setup can fail

🔓 PUBLICATION NOTE
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
SMT Sniper Entry Engine is published as an educational correlated-market divergence and confirmation tool.
The purpose of this description is to explain:
• how the comparison market is selected
• how Auto and Manual modes differ

• how the Base Quality Score is constructed
• how pair correlation is calculated and filtered
• how external-range location is evaluated

• how the SMT-candle break is used
• how Fair Value Gap evidence is detected
• how micro-structure evidence is detected
• how setup invalidation works
• how setup expiration works
• when final UP and DOWN labels appear
• what the SMT markers and dotted reference lines represent
• what the signal FVG box represents
• what the dashboard displays
• what the static alerts contain

• what diagnostic values are available in the Data Window
• how confirmed-close timing works
• what the engine does not simulate
• why familiar SMT concepts are organized into an original workflow
The script is designed to support structured analysis.
It does not promise profitable results.
It does not remove market risk.
It does not execute trades.
It does not calculate position size.
It does not provide a built-in TP / SL trade-management model.
It should not be used as a blind UP / DOWN system.
Repainting and Timing Disclosure
SMT Sniper Entry Engine is designed around confirmed-bar calculations.
Permanent SMT events and final UP / DOWN labels use barstate.isconfirmed.
The comparison-market request uses:
• barmerge.gaps_off
• barmerge.lookahead_off
Liquidity references use previous closed candles.
The current candle is excluded from the prior-reference calculation.
The script does not use:
• pivot-high functions
• pivot-low functions
• future-bar confirmation
• negative plot offsets
• historical signal backplotting
• later relocation of final signal labels
A final UP or DOWN signal appears on the candle where the complete confirmation sequence becomes valid.
It is not moved backward to the original SMT candle.
Historical drawing cleanup can delete older lines, markers, labels, or boxes when the recent-object limit is exceeded.
Deleting an old drawing is not repainting.
The original signal bar is not changed.
Historical results can still differ when:
• settings are changed
• comparison symbols are changed
• Auto or Manual mode is changed
• chart symbols are changed
• timeframes are changed
• broker or exchange feeds are changed
• historical data is revised
• available chart history is changed
Realtime behavior also depends on when PulseWire receives the final data for the closing candle.
Confirmed-close design reduces unfinished-candle changes.
It does not eliminate market risk, data-feed differences, or alert-delivery limitations.

Strong Supertrend Engine | ProjectSyndicateStrong Supertrend Engine maps the session around a Supertrend trend-stop and power-ranks the with-trend zones where price is most likely to continue, not reverse. Every session it reads one decision from the prior completed session's daily Supertrend — is the session open above the Supertrend a green, buy-only regime or below it a red, sell-only regime — and then projects an ATR-scaled ladder of reaction zones around the session open. On top of the zones it draws the session's best continuation setups as zone-to-zone arrows: in a green regime it points up from a pullback zone to a target zone; in a red regime it points down from a rally zone to a target below. The whole tool runs on one idea: trade dips with the trend, not against it — buy dips into support while the Supertrend is green, sell rips into resistance while it is red, and favor the stronger-graded zones.
This is the inverse of a fade tool. Across a broad multi-instrument study FX majors and crosses, gold and an index, fading stretched levels back to balance behaved like a coin flip, while with-trend pullback entries were the side that carried a modest, repeatable edge. Strong Supertrend Engine is built around that side.
🟢🔴 Summary how to trade this more details below, read entire guide. Best trade setups with this system is to buy dips, arrows highlight best entry zones / prices when price is trading above green ST zones. Likewise, sell rips, arrows highlight best entry zones on sell side / when price is trading below red ST zones. Detailed overview below. Run on lower TFs for best entries, i.e.
M5 M10 M15 M30.
🟢🔴 The Supertrend Regime the master switch — The session open versus the daily Supertrend sets the only bias that matters. Open above the Supertrend ⇒ the core stop band renders green and the engine shows BUY-ONLY setups buy the dips. Open below ⇒ the band renders red and the engine shows SELL-ONLY setups sell the rips. A close back through the Supertrend flips the regime and recolors everything. You never fight the band: green means look for longs, red means look for shorts.
🧲 The Session Basis auction center — Each session's zone ladder is anchored to the session open by default Prior HL2, OHLC4 or Close optional. Price spends the day auctioning around this basis, so the inner zones sit exactly where price actually trades and the outer zones mark a genuine stretch. The basis is also the natural first reference a with-trend pullback works back through.
📊 ATR-Scaled Zone Ladder — Five escalating tiers are projected above and below the basis at calibrated ATR offsets 0.12, 0.25, 0.40, 0.55, 0.75 × ATR by default, drawn as clean equal-height shaded bands. The spacing is deliberately pulled in to where price genuinely travels intraday a typical session covers roughly half an ATR from the open, so the inner tiers get tagged often and the outer tiers mark the real extremes. A global width multiplier and per-tier offsets let you reshape the geometry for any instrument or timeframe.
ES
🟩 The Core Supertrend Stop Band — The actual daily Supertrend value is drawn as a bold band — green support in an uptrend, red resistance in a downtrend. It is the trend's hard line: the trade thesis holds while price stays on the correct side of it, and a close through it is the regime flip and the natural hard stop.
🏷️ 0–10 Strength Grade & In-Zone Labels — Every zone carries a live 0–10 grade inside the band — the tier name with a ▲ / ▼ side marker, stars, the X.X/10 score and a tier word FORMING → WEAK → MODERATE → STRONG → ELITE. The grade blends tier extremity, volatility context, trend regime and with-trend alignment so the with-trend side is favored. Read it as a descriptive conviction ranking for which zone deserves attention — it is not a backtested win-rate.
WTI
🏹 Continuation Setup Arrows the signature feature — For the last N sessions, the engine selects the best 2–4 with-trend setups per session and draws each as a zone-to-zone arrow that spans several zones 3 by default, so each arrow shows a meaningful directional trade, not a one-tier hop. In a green regime arrows run up from a pullback/dip zone, through the open, to a target zone above; in a red regime they run down from a rally/rip zone to a target below. Each arrow is labeled with the entry→target zones, the R multiple of the move, and a star grade. Setups are ranked by regime strength + momentum alignment + clean pullback depth, so the strongest, best-located trades surface first.
📈 Laguerre PPO Momentum Confluence — A daily, non-repainting Laguerre PPO reads whether momentum agrees with the regime. It boosts the score of aligned setups and can be set as a hard filter so only momentum-confirmed setups print. Up-momentum strengthens buy-dip setups in a green regime; down-momentum strengthens sell-rip setups in a red regime.
BTC
⚙️ Uniform ATR Zone Height — Every tier shares one identical ATR-based thickness, centered on its level, for a clean, consistent look on any symbol or timeframe.
🎨 Regime & Strength Shading — Stronger zones render more opaque, weaker ones stay faint, and counter-trend zones are dimmed so the actionable with-trend side pops. Resistance tiers shade red, support tiers green, the core stop green/red by regime, and the arrows green for buys, red for sells. Arrow labels use black text for crisp readability on the colored tags.
🔒 Non-Repainting — Each session's regime, basis, zones, scores and arrows lock in from the completed prior session read with a confirmed offset and never change intraday. Zones span exactly one session and close cleanly at the boundary — no bleed into the next session. The last N sessions are kept default 10 and older ones are removed automatically.
Silver
📋 Live Dashboard — A compact panel reports the current Regime BUY-ONLY / SELL-ONLY, Momentum up / down, the number of setups this session, the Trend, the Supertrend stop price, ATR, the distance from price to the stop in ATR, and the trend age in sessions.
🔔 Native Alerts — Dedicated Buy Continuation Setups and Sell Continuation Setups alerts the moment a new session's setups print, plus zone-touch, strong-zone, extreme-tier, core-stop-tag and Supertrend-flip alerts.
🔧 Fully Customizable — Supertrend ATR length and factor, basis source, the five tier offsets and global width multiplier, zone thickness, the four scoring weights and their lookbacks, the score filter, the Laguerre fast/slow gammas and momentum-filter toggle, arrow count 2–4, arrow span zones, spacing, width, colors and labels, dashboard position/size, transparency and shading — all adjustable.
DAX
🎯 Why this is different — Most band tools draw static envelopes and leave you guessing which edge matters, and most "tops & bottoms" tools quietly ask you to fade strong moves. Strong Supertrend Engine does the opposite: it frames the session as a trend defined by the Supertrend, refuses to show counter-trend trades, and hands you the session's best with-trend continuation setups as labeled arrows from zone to zone. You read the regime green/red, the destination the arrow's target zone, and the conviction the score at a glance.

🎯 How To Trade It — Two Approaches
Everything hinges on the regime: green Supertrend = buy dips only, red Supertrend = sell rips only. Never fade the band. Use the stronger-graded zones and the printed arrows to pick the best-located entry.
◾ 1 BUY DIPS in a Green Supertrend Regime — open above the green ST
This is the engine's core long thesis. The session open is above the green Supertrend, so the regime is BUY-ONLY and buy arrows point up from the dip zones toward higher targets.
▪️ Setup: wait for price to pull back / dip into a support zone below the open — prefer the stronger-graded zones higher score / more stars, ideally one a buy arrow points up out of, with Laguerre momentum up.
▪️ Entry: long on the dip into the zone, in the direction of the green regime the with-trend bounce.
▪️ Stop: below the entry zone — one tier deeper — with the green core Supertrend stop as the hard invalidation. A decisive close below the green ST flips the regime; the long thesis is then wrong, stand aside.
▪️ Targets: step up zone to zone toward the arrow's target each arrow spans ~3 zones — through the open into the upper tiers, banking partials at each tier and trailing with the trend.
⚖️ The cleanest version: price opens above a rising green Supertrend, dips into a STRONG/ELITE support tier, holds, and rotates back up through the open into the upper tiers — exactly the leg the arrow frames. The deeper-but-still-graded dips offer the better risk; the shallow ones trigger most often.
◾ 2 SELL RIPS in a Red Supertrend Regime — open below the red ST
The mirror image. The session open is below the red Supertrend, so the regime is SELL-ONLY and sell arrows point down from the rally zones toward lower targets.
▪️ Setup: wait for price to rally / rip into a resistance zone above the open — prefer the stronger-graded red zones higher score / more stars, ideally one a sell arrow points down out of, with Laguerre momentum down.
▪️ Entry: short on the rip into the zone, in the direction of the red regime.
▪️ Stop: above the entry zone — one tier higher — with the red core Supertrend stop as the hard invalidation. A decisive close above the red ST flips the regime; stand aside.
▪️ Targets: step down zone to zone toward the arrow's target through the open into the lower tiers, banking partials and trailing the move.
Rule of thumb: ⭐ Green Supertrend, open above it → buy dips into the stronger support zones, target the arrow's zones up. ⭐ Red Supertrend, open below it → sell rips into the stronger resistance zones, target the arrow's zones down. ⭐ When price closes through the Supertrend, the regime flips — wait for the new side before taking the next trade.

⚠️ IMPORTANT NOTICE: Strong Supertrend Engine frames a Supertrend-defined trend and ranks the best with-trend continuation setups. The 0–10 score is a descriptive conviction ranking, not a backtested win-rate, and the with-trend edge measured in study was modest — these zones and arrows are decision support, not a standalone trade trigger. Always combine them with your own strategy, price-action confirmation and risk management. Past behavior does not guarantee future results. Indicator
MACD Momentum Entry Engine [trade_w_samet]🎯 MACD Momentum Entry Engine
MACD Momentum Entry Engine is a structured momentum-analysis and visual trade-model indicator designed to help traders study confirmed MACD events, momentum quality, directional persistence, market regime, trend alignment, candle confirmation, and multi-target risk references directly from one coordinated workflow.
The script is built around one central idea:
A MACD event should not automatically become an entry signal.
Instead of treating every MACD crossover as equally meaningful, the engine first identifies the type of momentum event, then evaluates its strength, expansion, slope, acceleration, market environment, candle quality, directional persistence, and optional trend alignment before a permanent LONG or SHORT setup is accepted.
The indicator includes:
• Configurable MACD fast, slow, and signal lengths
• EMA, SMA, RMA, and WMA calculation options
• Early Trigger and Momentum Confirmed entry timing
• Reversal, Continuation, Zero-Line Reclaim, and Momentum Expansion setups
• A transparent 0–100 Momentum Quality Score
• Alignment, histogram strength, expansion, slope, and acceleration scoring
• Loose, Balanced, Strict, and Off quality modes
• A separate 0–100 Anti-Chop Market Regime Score
• ADX, price efficiency, EMA separation, and volatility-expansion analysis
• A separate 0–100 Entry Qualification Score
• Candle body, close location, MACD separation, persistence, impulse, and trigger-context analysis
• A final composite setup score
• A+, A, B, and C internal setup grades
• Optional chart EMA, confirmed higher-timeframe EMA, and combined trend bias
• Confirmed higher-timeframe calculations
• Zero-line directional filtering
• ATR-normalized absolute histogram-strength filtering
• Internal signal cooldown and same-bar re-entry protection
• One-active-trade-at-a-time visual management
• ATR-based and XAUUSD fixed-pip risk models
• Three visual take-profit levels
• Stop First and Targets First same-bar assumptions
• Equal-third internal trade-model accounting
• Active Entry, TP1, TP2, TP3, and SL lines
• Active reward and risk boxes on the main chart
• TP3-only historical trade-model preservation
• Separate SL, Closed TP1, Closed TP2, and TP3 result labels
• Adjustable LONG, SHORT, and result-label sizes
• MACD histogram, line, signal line, momentum background, and anti-chop background
• Neon LONG and SHORT dots directly on the MACD line
• A compact main-chart dashboard
• XAUUSD symbol verification and mismatch warning
• Static PulseWire alert conditions
• Detailed dynamic alert() messages
• Data Window diagnostics
• Confirmed-close permanent signals
The purpose of this script is to provide a structured way to study when a MACD event is supported by broader momentum and market context.
It is not financial advice.
It is not an automated trading system.
It does not guarantee profitable trades.
It does not execute broker orders.
It does not replace personal analysis, position sizing, or risk management.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📌 OVERVIEW
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
At a high level, MACD Momentum Entry Engine does the following:
• Calculates a configurable MACD using the selected average types.
• Separates the visual histogram scale from the calculation scale.
• Detects confirmed MACD crossovers and zero-line events.
• Identifies Reversal, Continuation, Zero-Line Reclaim, and Expansion setup types.
• Optionally accepts the event immediately through Early Trigger mode.
• Optionally arms the setup and waits for renewed momentum through Momentum Confirmed mode.
• Measures momentum alignment, histogram strength, histogram expansion, MACD slope, and acceleration.
• Produces separate bullish and bearish 0–100 Momentum Quality Scores.
• Measures market regime using ADX, directional efficiency, EMA separation, and volatility expansion.
• Produces a separate 0–100 Market Regime Score.
• Evaluates candle direction, body quality, close location, MACD separation, persistence, and price impulse.
• Produces separate bullish and bearish Entry Qualification Scores.
• Combines momentum, regime, and entry quality into a final composite score.
• Assigns an internal A+, A, B, or C grade.
• Applies optional chart EMA and confirmed higher-timeframe EMA bias.
• Applies zero-line, absolute-strength, cooldown, and trade-slot controls.
• Confirms permanent LONG and SHORT signals only after candle close.
• Opens one visual trade model from the confirmed signal-bar close.
• Calculates Entry, Stop Loss, TP1, TP2, and TP3.
• Tracks targets and stop events from the next candle onward.
• Applies the selected same-bar processing assumption.
• Preserves completed TP3 models when historical display is enabled.
• Removes trade drawings after SL, Closed TP1, or Closed TP2 outcomes.
• Converts the original entry label into the final result for non-TP3 outcomes.
• Adds a separate electric-purple FULL TARGET label for TP3 outcomes.
• Displays Momentum, Trend, Regime, Trade, Last Result, and Protection states in the bottom-right dashboard.
• Provides static and dynamic alert options.
• Exposes diagnostic values through PulseWire’s Data Window.
The indicator does not use machine-learning prediction.
Its scores are not probabilities.
Its labels do not promise future direction.
The script is a rule-based educational momentum framework that explains how a raw MACD event becomes an accepted or rejected setup.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🧠 CORE IDEA
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The core idea behind MACD Momentum Entry Engine is that a crossover alone contains limited context.
A basic crossover only confirms that one MACD line has moved through another.
It does not automatically explain:
• whether the histogram is expanding
• whether momentum is accelerating
• whether the move is occurring in a directional or choppy market
• whether the signal candle supports the direction
• whether MACD separation is meaningful relative to recent behavior
• whether momentum has persisted
• whether price is aligned with an optional trend filter
• whether a recent signal already occurred
• whether a visual trade model is already active
The engine therefore uses a staged sequence:
MACD event
→ setup classification
→ momentum-quality scoring
→ optional trend-bias validation
→ anti-chop regime scoring
→ entry qualification
→ additional signal filters
→ confirmed signal
→ visual trade model
→ TP / SL lifecycle
→ result handling
For bullish conditions, the script studies upward MACD transitions, positive histogram alignment, renewed expansion, positive slope, positive acceleration, bullish candle behavior, and directional persistence.
For bearish conditions, the same process is mirrored.
The purpose is not to find the largest possible number of signals.
The purpose is to make the acceptance process visible, configurable, and understandable.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🧩 WHY THIS SCRIPT IS NOT A SIMPLE BUY/SELL INDICATOR
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
MACD Momentum Entry Engine is not designed to be used as a blind buy/sell system.
A raw MACD event must move through multiple stages:
A crossover or momentum event appears
→ the event is classified
→ the momentum-quality layer is evaluated
→ the trend-bias layer is evaluated
→ the anti-chop layer is evaluated
→ the candle and entry-quality layer is evaluated
→ zero-line and absolute-strength filters are checked
→ cooldown and active-trade restrictions are checked
→ the setup must remain valid at candle close
→ a permanent LONG or SHORT setup is printed
→ Entry, SL, TP1, TP2, and TP3 are projected
→ the trade model is monitored from the following candle
→ the model closes at TP3 or Stop
→ the final chart result is preserved or cleaned
Each module serves a different purpose.
The MACD core defines the momentum relationship.
The setup engine identifies what kind of event occurred.
The momentum-quality engine measures the internal strength of that event.
The anti-chop engine measures whether the broader environment is directional enough for the selected mode.
The entry-qualification engine evaluates the signal candle and immediate price response.
The trend-bias engine optionally restricts direction.
The trade engine standardizes the visual risk framework.
The dashboard explains the current engine state.
This makes the script a coordinated momentum-analysis workflow rather than a basic crossover marker.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
⚙️ HOW THE SCRIPT WORKS
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The script operates through connected calculation stages.
First, it calculates every supported moving-average type on every candle.
The selected average type is then used for the fast MACD average, slow MACD average, and signal average.
The MACD line is the difference between the selected fast and slow averages.
The histogram is the difference between the MACD line and the signal line.
fastAverage = f_selectMa(macdMaType, fastEma, fastSma, fastRma, fastWma)
slowAverage = f_selectMa(macdMaType, slowEma, slowSma, slowRma, slowWma)
macdLine = fastAverage - slowAverage
signalLine = f_selectMa(signalMaType, signalEma, signalSma, signalRma, signalWma)
histogram = macdLine - signalLine
The histogram visual multiplier changes only the displayed column length.
It does not change:
• the MACD line
• the signal line
• the histogram used by calculations
• quality scores
• setup detection
• trade results
After the MACD core is calculated, the engine measures:
• absolute histogram strength
• one-bar histogram expansion
• MACD slope
• momentum acceleration
• adaptive baselines for each measurement
The setup engine then checks the enabled event types.
The quality, trend, regime, qualification, and additional-filter stages determine whether the setup is eligible.
A final permanent signal is accepted only after the candle closes and every enabled condition remains valid.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🟢 BULLISH MACD MOMENTUM LOGIC
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
A bullish setup begins with one of four enabled event types.
Bullish Reversal
A bullish MACD crossover occurs while the MACD line remains below zero.
This represents a momentum turn from the negative side of the zero line.
Bullish Continuation
A bullish MACD crossover occurs while the MACD line is at or above zero.
This represents renewed bullish alignment on the positive side.
Bullish Zero-Line Reclaim
The MACD line crosses above zero while:
• MACD is above the signal line
• the histogram is positive
• the bar is confirmed
Bullish Momentum Expansion
The histogram resumes positive expansion after a short contraction while:
• MACD remains above the signal line
• MACD slope is positive
• no new crossover is being used on the same bar
• no new zero-line cross is being used on the same bar
The event must then pass the active momentum-quality requirement.
When enabled, it must also pass:
• chart EMA bias
• confirmed higher-timeframe EMA bias
• EMA slope confirmation
• ATR distance from the trend EMA
• anti-chop regime requirement
• entry qualification
• bullish candle direction
• minimum MACD separation
• momentum persistence
• zero-line direction
• absolute histogram strength
• cooldown
• active-trade availability
The final signal uses confirmed-bar logic.
bullishSignal =
barstate.isconfirmed and
bullishEntryCandidate and
bullishZeroLinePass and
absoluteStrengthPass and
bullishQualityPass and
bullishTrendPass and
antiChopPass and
bullishQualificationPass and
bullishCandlePass and
separationPass and
bullishPersistencePass and
cooldownPass and
tradeSlotAvailable
When every active rule passes, the script can display:
• a neon green dot on the MACD line
• a LONG label on the main chart
• setup type, grade, and score information
• a visual Entry, SL, TP1, TP2, and TP3 model
This confirms that the configured bullish momentum conditions were valid at candle close.
It does not mean price must continue upward.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🔴 BEARISH MACD MOMENTUM LOGIC
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
A bearish setup mirrors the bullish process.
Bearish Reversal
A bearish MACD crossover occurs while the MACD line remains above zero.
This represents a momentum turn from the positive side of the zero line.
Bearish Continuation
A bearish MACD crossover occurs while the MACD line is at or below zero.
This represents renewed bearish alignment on the negative side.
Bearish Zero-Line Reclaim
The MACD line crosses below zero while:
• MACD is below the signal line
• the histogram is negative
• the bar is confirmed
Bearish Momentum Expansion
The histogram resumes negative expansion after a short contraction while:
• MACD remains below the signal line
• MACD slope is negative
• no new bearish crossover is being used on the same bar
• no new bearish zero-line cross is being used on the same bar
The setup must then pass the same quality, trend, regime, candle, separation, persistence, strength, cooldown, and trade-slot controls.
A permanent SHORT signal appears only when all active conditions remain valid at candle close.
The script can then display:
• a neon red dot on the MACD line
• a SHORT label on the main chart
• setup type, grade, and score information
• Entry, SL, TP1, TP2, and TP3 references
This confirms that the configured bearish momentum conditions were valid at candle close.
It does not guarantee continued downside movement.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
💎 MACD MOMENTUM QUALITY FILTER SYSTEM
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The script includes a separate bullish and bearish Momentum Quality Score.
The quality layer evaluates five components.
Alignment — maximum 20 points
Bullish alignment requires:
• MACD above the signal line
• positive histogram
Bearish alignment requires:
• MACD below the signal line
• negative histogram
Histogram Strength — maximum 25 points
The absolute histogram value is compared with an adaptive EMA baseline.
This measures whether current separation is meaningful relative to recent MACD behavior.
Histogram Expansion — maximum 20 points
The engine measures the one-bar change in absolute histogram strength.
Points are awarded only when the histogram is expanding in the setup direction.
MACD Slope — maximum 20 points
Bullish setups require positive slope for this component.
Bearish setups require negative slope.
The slope magnitude is compared with its own adaptive baseline.
Momentum Acceleration — maximum 15 points
Acceleration measures the change in MACD slope.
Positive acceleration supports bullish scoring.
Negative acceleration supports bearish scoring.
bullishQualityScore = f_clamp(
bullishAlignmentScore +
bullishHistogramStrengthScore +
bullishExpansionScore +
bullishSlopeScore +
bullishAccelerationScore,
0.0,
100.0
The available quality modes are:
Off
Removes the minimum Momentum Quality Score restriction.
Loose
Requires a minimum score of 45.
Balanced
Requires a minimum score of 60.
Strict
Requires a minimum score of 75 and is the default.
The score is not a win rate.
It is not a probability.
It measures how closely the current MACD event matches the engine’s momentum-strength framework.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📏 VOLATILITY / ATR NORMALIZATION FILTER
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The indicator uses ATR normalization to compare certain values across changing volatility conditions.
The Absolute Strength Filter calculates:
Absolute Histogram Strength = |Histogram| / ATR × 100.
This value is used as an additional minimum-strength condition.
The default settings are:
• Normalization ATR Length: 14
• Minimum Absolute Strength: 1.0
• Use Absolute Strength Filter: enabled
ATR normalization helps reduce dependence on the raw numerical scale of a market.
For example, a raw MACD histogram value cannot be compared directly across instruments with very different prices and volatility.
Normalization places the histogram in relation to the instrument’s recent ATR.
The same ATR framework is also used by:
• optional price-to-EMA trend buffers
• EMA-separation regime measurement
• price-impulse scoring
• ATR-based trade management
ATR normalization does not make one configuration universal.
Symbols, sessions, exchanges, and data feeds can still behave differently.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🕯️ DISPLACEMENT QUALITY FILTER
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The entry-qualification engine evaluates whether the signal candle shows enough directional response.
The Candle component contributes up to 25 points.
It is divided into:
Directional Body — maximum 12.5 points
For bullish setups, the engine measures the positive candle body relative to the full candle range.
For bearish setups, it measures the negative body.
Close Location — maximum 12.5 points
Bullish setups receive more points when the close is nearer the candle high.
Bearish setups receive more points when the close is nearer the candle low.
Price Impulse contributes up to 15 additional points.
The engine compares the one-bar directional price movement with ATR.
A bullish price impulse measures positive close-to-close displacement.
A bearish price impulse measures negative close-to-close displacement.
This layer does not predict the next candle.
It measures whether the completed signal candle supports the direction of the MACD event.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📊 REACTION STRENGTH FILTER
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The engine includes a separate Entry Qualification Score.
Its components are:
Candle Quality — maximum 25 points
Combines directional body and close location.
MACD Separation — maximum 25 points
Measures current histogram separation relative to its adaptive baseline.
Momentum Persistence — maximum 20 points
Measures how long directional MACD and histogram alignment has remained active.
Price Impulse — maximum 15 points
Measures directional close-to-close movement relative to ATR.
Trigger Context — maximum 15 points
Confirms that an eligible setup event is currently active.
The total is limited to 0–100.
Available modes are:
Off
Removes the minimum Entry Qualification Score restriction.
Loose
Requires a minimum score of 45.
Balanced
Requires a minimum score of 60.
Strict
Requires a minimum score of 75 and is the default.
The final signal also uses internal candle-direction, separation, and persistence requirements.
These internal parameters remain active in the background to keep the public settings menu cleaner.
The Entry Qualification Score is not a verified accuracy figure.
It describes the quality of the completed entry context according to the script’s rules.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🧼 CONFIRMED SIGNAL FILTER
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Permanent LONG and SHORT signals wait for candle close.
The engine uses confirmed-bar checks on:
• MACD crossovers
• zero-line crossings
• expansion triggers
• momentum confirmation
• final LONG and SHORT conditions
The higher-timeframe trend layer also uses previous completed higher-timeframe values.
htfConfirmedClose = request.security(
syminfo.tickerid,
higherTimeframe,
close ,
gaps = barmerge.gaps_off,
lookahead = barmerge.lookahead_on
)
htfConfirmedEma = request.security(
syminfo.tickerid,
higherTimeframe,
ta.ema(close, trendLength) ,
gaps = barmerge.gaps_off,
lookahead = barmerge.lookahead_on
)
This approach prevents an unfinished higher-timeframe candle from becoming the permanent trend reference.
Entry Timing provides two workflows.
Early Trigger
Uses the confirmed setup event directly.
Momentum Confirmed
Arms the setup and waits for a later confirmed candle with:
• continued MACD alignment
• directional histogram
• renewed histogram expansion
• directional MACD slope
The confirmation opportunity is temporary.
If renewed momentum does not appear inside the internal window, the armed setup expires.
The script does not plot final signals into earlier candles.
Historical results can still change when:
• settings change
• symbol data changes
• timeframe changes
• the data provider revises history
• the available chart-history range changes
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🎯 ENTRY MODEL
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
When a final LONG or SHORT setup passes every enabled condition, the trade engine can create a visual trade model.
The Entry reference is the close of the confirmed signal candle.
For a LONG model:
• Stop is below Entry
• TP1 is above Entry
• TP2 is above TP1
• TP3 is above TP2
For a SHORT model:
• Stop is above Entry
• TP1 is below Entry
• TP2 is below TP1
• TP3 is below TP2
tradeEntryPrice := close
tradeStopPrice := tradeEntryPrice - selectedStopDistance
tradeTp1Price := tradeEntryPrice + selectedTp1Distance
tradeTp2Price := tradeEntryPrice + selectedTp2Distance
tradeTp3Price := tradeEntryPrice + selectedTp3Distance
The model begins checking TP and SL from the following candle.
This prevents the signal candle’s earlier high or low from being treated as though it occurred after the close-based entry.
The engine stores:
• direction
• entry bar
• entry price
• stop price
• TP1 price
• TP2 price
• TP3 price
• initial risk
• target R values
• TP1 and TP2 progress
• setup type
• setup grade
• risk model
• original signal label
The displayed model is an educational chart reference.
It is not a broker order.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🛑 ATR STOP-LOSS MODEL
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The indicator includes two risk models.
ATR Based
Stop distance is calculated as:
ATR × ATR Stop Multiplier.
The default settings are:
• ATR Length: 14
• ATR Stop Multiplier: 1.50
• TP1: 0.50R
• TP2: 1.00R
• TP3: 1.50R
The minimum distance is protected by the symbol’s minimum tick.
XAUUSD Fixed Pips
Stop and target distances use:
Selected Pips × XAUUSD Pip Size.
The default settings are:
• Pip Size: 0.01
• Stop Loss: 1000 pips
• TP1: 500 pips
• TP2: 1000 pips
• TP3: 1500 pips
Under the common 0.01 convention, those values correspond to:
• Stop distance: 10.00 price units
• TP1 distance: 5.00 price units
• TP2 distance: 10.00 price units
• TP3 distance: 15.00 price units
Broker conventions can differ.
Users should verify their symbol specification before relying on fixed-pip distances.
The XAUUSD protection system checks the symbol.
The dashboard shows:
• ✅ XAUUSD VERIFIED when XAUUSD Fixed Pips is used on a recognized XAUUSD symbol
• ⚠️ CHECK SYMBOL when the mode is used on another symbol
• 🛡️ ATR MODE when ATR Based is selected
The warning does not block calculations.
It tells the user to verify pip size and target distances.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🎯 TAKE-PROFIT RR MODEL
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The visual model contains three take-profit levels.
ATR Based mode calculates targets from the initial stop distance:
TP1 Distance = Initial Risk × TP1 RR.
TP2 Distance = Initial Risk × TP2 RR.
TP3 Distance = Initial Risk × TP3 RR.
XAUUSD Fixed Pips mode uses independent fixed target distances.
The script enforces the following order:
TP1 < TP2 < TP3.
If a selected value would violate that order, the next target is moved at least one minimum tick beyond the prior target.
The trade model internally treats the position as three equal portions.
Each target represents one-third of the model.
If Stop is reached after TP1 or TP2, the script calculates an internal net-R result from:
• the portions already modeled as closed at reached targets
• the remaining portion or portions modeled at Stop
This internal calculation supports Data Window counters.
It is not broker-verified performance.
It does not account for:
• spread
• commission
• slippage
• latency
• partial-fill differences
• financing
• order rejection
• execution venue behavior
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📦 ACTIVE TP / SL BOX SYSTEM
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
When a confirmed trade model opens, the script can draw on the main chart:
• Entry line
• TP1 line
• TP2 line
• TP3 line
• Stop Loss line
• TP1 reward box
• TP2 reward box
• TP3 reward box
• SL risk box
• LONG or SHORT label
The Entry line is white.
The TP lines are green and initially dashed.
The SL line is red and solid.
The SL box uses a solid border.
When a target is reached:
• the corresponding box becomes more visible
• the corresponding target line becomes solid
• the target line becomes thicker
• the dynamic target alert can fire
When TP3 is reached:
• the complete model closes
• the original LONG or SHORT label remains
• a separate electric-purple TP3 FULL TARGET label appears
• the trade model can remain historically visible
When the model closes at Stop before TP3:
• all active boxes are deleted
• all active trade lines are deleted
• the original LONG or SHORT label is converted into the final result
• the final result becomes SL, CLOSED TP1, or CLOSED TP2
Only TP3 outcomes can retain completed historical boxes and lines.
This is a chart-cleanliness decision.
It does not imply that other outcomes did not occur.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🚦 ONE ACTIVE TRADE AT A TIME
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The script uses one-active-trade-at-a-time visual management.
When the trade engine is enabled:
• a new trade model cannot open while another model is active
• a new trade cannot open on the same candle that closed the previous model
• the internal setup engine continues calculating
• permanent signals are restricted by trade-slot availability
This prevents overlapping Entry, TP, and SL structures.
It also keeps the trade lifecycle easier to interpret.
When the trade engine is disabled, qualified signals can still be evaluated without opening a visual trade model.
The one-active-model rule is a visual and analytical design choice.
It does not restrict the user’s personal trading activity.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
⚠️ SAME-CANDLE TP / SL HANDLING
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Trade monitoring begins after the entry candle.
If a later historical candle touches both Stop and one or more targets, standard OHLC data does not reveal the exact intrabar sequence.
The indicator therefore provides two assumptions.
Stop First
If Stop and a target are both touched on the same candle, Stop is processed first.
This is the default and more conservative assumption.
Targets First
Reached targets are processed before Stop.
If TP3 is reached, the model closes at TP3.
Otherwise, remaining portions can close at Stop.
Neither mode reconstructs tick-level execution.
The indicator does not know:
• whether the high occurred before the low
• the bid/ask path
• actual fill sequence
• spread at the time
• slippage
• queue priority
• partial fills
The selected same-bar rule is a modeling assumption required by the limits of OHLC candles.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🏷️ MACD MOMENTUM LABELS
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The indicator uses separate entry and result labels.
Entry labels display:
🚀 LONG
or:
🔴 SHORT
Entry Label Content provides:
Direction Only
Displays only LONG or SHORT.
Grade
Displays direction and setup grade.
Score + Grade
Displays direction, grade, and rounded composite score.
The default is Score + Grade.
LONG and SHORT label sizes can be adjusted independently.
Both default to Small.
The label tooltip contains:
• setup direction
• setup type
• setup grade
• composite score
• Momentum Quality Score
• Entry Qualification Score
• Market Regime Score
• trend-bias state
Result labels include:
🛑 SL
⚠️ CLOSED TP1
✅ CLOSED TP2
🏆 TP3 HIT
✅ FULL TARGET
SL, Closed TP1, and Closed TP2 transform the original entry label.
TP3 creates a separate result label and preserves the original entry label.
All chart-label text uses bold and italic formatting.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📍 MACD DISPLAY MODES
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The indicator operates in a separate MACD pane while selected trade visuals, entry labels, and the dashboard are forced onto the main price chart.
The MACD pane can display:
MACD Line
A white line representing the difference between the selected fast and slow averages.
Signal Line
A red line representing the selected signal smoothing.
Histogram
Color changes communicate momentum condition:
• stronger green for bullish expansion
• softer green for bullish contraction
• stronger red for bearish expansion
• softer red for bearish contraction
Histogram Visual Length
The default multiplier is 1.60.
This changes visual column length only.
It does not affect calculations.
Neon Signal Dots
Qualified LONG setups produce a neon green glow and center dot on the MACD line.
Qualified SHORT setups produce a neon red glow and center dot.
Momentum Background
The pane background changes according to strong or weak bullish and bearish momentum states.
Anti-Chop Background
A neutral gray background can identify conditions blocked by the Anti-Chop Engine.
Each major visual element can be shown or hidden independently.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🧹 SETUP INVALIDATION
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Not every raw MACD event remains eligible.
A setup can be rejected or expire because:
• its momentum score is below the selected threshold
• trend bias does not permit the direction
• the market regime is below the active Anti-Chop threshold
• the Entry Qualification Score is insufficient
• candle direction does not support the setup
• MACD separation is insufficient
• directional persistence is insufficient
• the zero-line filter blocks the direction
• normalized histogram strength is too low
• the signal cooldown is active
• another visual trade is active
• a trade closed on the current candle
• Momentum Confirmed mode does not receive renewed expansion in time
• an opposite raw setup replaces the armed direction
The internal cooldown is eight bars.
Momentum Confirmed mode uses a temporary internal confirmation window.
These background controls are intentionally not exposed as advanced public inputs.
They remain part of the engine’s consistency rules.
A rejected event is not displayed as a permanent entry signal.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📟 DASHBOARD
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The indicator includes a compact dashboard in the bottom-right corner of the main price chart.
The dashboard displays:

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🧪 HOW TO USE THE INDICATOR
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
A practical workflow:
1. Add MACD Momentum Entry Engine to a standard candlestick chart.
2. Begin with the default MACD values of 12, 26, and 9.
3. Keep Entry Timing on Early Trigger while learning the setup types.
4. Keep Momentum Quality on Strict for the default selective profile.
5. Keep Anti-Chop on Strict.
6. Keep Entry Qualification on Strict.
7. Observe whether the event is Reversal, Continuation, Zero Reclaim, or Expansion.
8. Review the MACD histogram, line relationship, and neon signal dot.
9. Review the main-chart LONG or SHORT label.
10. Open the label tooltip to inspect the scores and setup type.
11. Review Momentum, Trend, Regime, Trade, Last Result, and Protection in the dashboard.
12. Verify the selected risk model.
13. When using XAUUSD Fixed Pips, confirm XAUUSD VERIFIED.
14. Treat Entry, SL, TP1, TP2, and TP3 as planning references.
15. Use alerts for monitoring rather than blind execution.
16. Compare every setup with personal structure, session, volatility, and risk rules.
17. Test the exact symbol, timeframe, session, and data feed personally used.
The indicator is designed for structured review.
It should not be treated as an automatic decision-maker.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🧠 WHAT MAKES THIS SCRIPT ORIGINAL
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
MACD, moving averages, ATR, ADX, and trend filters are familiar technical-analysis concepts.
These concepts are not unique by themselves.
The originality of MACD Momentum Entry Engine lies in the coordinated process applied to a MACD event:
Configurable MACD event
→ setup-type classification
→ adaptive momentum-strength baselines
→ five-component Momentum Quality Score
→ optional confirmed trend-bias layer
→ four-component Anti-Chop Regime Score
→ five-component Entry Qualification Score
→ final composite score and grade
→ zero-line and normalized-strength validation
→ confirmed-close signal
→ one-active multi-target trade lifecycle
→ TP3-only historical preservation
→ non-TP3 visual cleanup
→ dynamic alerts
→ main-chart diagnostic dashboard
→ XAUUSD mode verification
Distinctive implementation features include:
• four separate setup families
• different logic for Reversal and Continuation crossovers
• zero-line reclaim detection
• renewed expansion detection without requiring a fresh crossover
• adaptive baselines for strength, expansion, slope, and acceleration
• separate bullish and bearish scoring
• a Momentum Quality Score independent from Entry Qualification
• an Anti-Chop Score independent from momentum quality
• confirmed previous higher-timeframe EMA values
• a 70/30 final composite structure
• A+, A, B, and C grades
• visual-only histogram scaling
• equal-third multi-target internal accounting
• same-candle processing assumptions
• XAUUSD symbol verification
• separate result behavior for TP3 and non-TP3 outcomes
• detailed Data Window diagnostics
The script is not a simple combination of unrelated indicators.
Every module supports the same objective: determining whether a confirmed MACD event has enough momentum, market, and entry context to become a permanent visual setup.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
⚠️ IMPORTANT PRACTICAL NOTES
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Signal frequency depends on:
• fast, slow, and signal lengths
• selected average types
• Entry Timing
• enabled setup families
• Momentum Quality mode
• Trend Bias mode
• EMA length
• higher timeframe
• EMA slope requirement
• price-to-EMA buffer
• Anti-Chop mode
• Entry Qualification mode
• zero-line filter
• absolute-strength threshold
• symbol
• timeframe
• session
• volatility
• available history
• data provider
• active-trade state
Strict modes reduce accepted signals.
They do not guarantee better results.
Trend Bias Off allows the momentum engine to evaluate both directions without EMA permission.
Higher Timeframe EMA and Combined EMA should use a timeframe meaningfully above the chart timeframe.
XAUUSD Fixed Pips is designed around a selectable pip convention.
The default 0.01 value may not match every broker or synthetic symbol.
Momentum Confirmed produces later and potentially fewer signals than Early Trigger.
Histogram Visual Length does not alter logic.
Changing settings recalculates historical signals and trade models.
A setup that looks different after changing the chart range may be affected by available historical data and adaptive baselines.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
⚠️ LIMITATIONS AND SHORTCOMINGS
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
This script has important limitations:
It does not guarantee profitable trades.
It does not predict future price movement.
It does not execute orders.
It does not place broker stops or targets.
It does not include spread.
It does not include commission.
It does not include slippage.
It does not include latency.
It does not model partial fills.
It does not model financing or swap.
It uses bar-based OHLC data.
Historical candles do not reveal exact intrabar order.
Stop First and Targets First are assumptions.
The setup score is not a win probability.
A+ is not a guaranteed outcome.
The Anti-Chop Score cannot identify every ranging condition.
Trend filters can delay or block valid reversals.
Trend Bias Off can allow countertrend signals.
ATR normalization does not make settings universal.
Fixed-pip conventions can differ between brokers.
XAUUSD symbol detection cannot verify a broker’s contract specification.
The dashboard is not PulseWire Strategy Tester.
Data Window counters are not audited account performance.
The internal R model assumes three equal portions.
The internal model does not represent real position sizing.
One-active-trade logic is a visual-management rule.
Alert delivery depends on PulseWire and user configuration.
Changing settings changes historical calculations.
Changing symbol, exchange, session, timeframe, or feed can change signals.
Adaptive baselines depend on available chart history.
Confirmed higher-timeframe values reduce unfinished-HTF changes but introduce delay.
Permanent signals wait for candle close and therefore do not capture the earliest intrabar moment.
For these reasons, the indicator should be used as an educational decision-support tool, not as a standalone automated strategy.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
👤 WHO THIS SCRIPT MAY BE USEFUL FOR
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
This script may be useful for traders who:
• already understand basic MACD behavior
• want more context than a raw crossover
• study momentum expansion and contraction

• want optional chart and higher-timeframe trend context
• prefer confirmed-close signals
• want Entry, SL, and three target references
• use XAUUSD and want configurable fixed-pip distances
• want symbol-mismatch warnings
• want a compact dashboard
• want detailed alerts
• want diagnostic Data Window values
• prefer one active visual model at a time
It may be less suitable for users who:
• want guaranteed signals
• want a fully automated trading bot
• want every MACD crossover displayed
• expect a score to equal probability
• expect one setting to work on every market
• require exact tick-level execution
• want Strategy Tester results from an indicator
• want the indicator to replace personal judgment
• expect alerts to execute broker orders automatically
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🧭 BEST PRACTICE SUGGESTIONS
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
For the default selective profile:
• use standard candlesticks
• begin with MACD 12 / 26 / 9
• keep Entry Timing on Early Trigger
• keep Momentum Quality on Strict

Adaptive SuperTrend -, Regime Filter & Buy/Sell Signals [LunqFX]Adaptive SuperTrend is a self-tuning trend indicator for PulseWire that fixes the biggest flaw of the classic SuperTrend: a fixed multiplier that whipsaws in choppy markets and lags in fast ones. This version makes the SuperTrend multiplier adaptive — it automatically widens in high volatility and tightens in low volatility — and layers a regime filter and a momentum filter on top to deliver clean, non-repainting Buy/Sell signals with an automatic take-profit / stop-loss ladder and live performance stats. It works on forex, crypto, stocks, indices, futures, gold (XAUUSD) and Bitcoin (BTCUSD), on any timeframe, for scalping, day trading and swing trading. Built in Pine Script v6. Keywords: adaptive supertrend, supertrend, trend, trend following, buy sell signals, regime filter, ATR trailing stop, volatility, momentum, take profit, stop loss, risk reward, trend reversal, no repaint, scalping, day trading, swing trading.
◆ WHY ADAPTIVE
A normal SuperTrend uses one fixed multiplier for every market and every condition, so it gets shaken out in volatile phases and reacts too slowly in calm ones. Adaptive SuperTrend ranks current volatility against its own recent history (0–100%) and maps that onto a multiplier range — wide when the market is wild, tight when it is calm — with zero manual tuning. The same settings behave sensibly on EURUSD, BTCUSD and the S&P 500.
◆ WHAT IT DOES
Adaptive trend line + fill — a volatility-adjusted trailing stop that flips turquoise (up) / magenta (down).
Filtered Buy/Sell signals — a trend flip only fires as a signal when two filters agree.
Auto TP/SL ladder — on every signal it draws the stop (on the trend line) and TP1 / TP2 / TP3 at 1R / 2R / 3R, so you get a complete trade plan instantly.
Conviction Score 0–100 — one number summarising how strong the current setup is.
Live win-rate stats — the script tracks its own past signals on the fly.
Neon trend candles + a clean live dashboard.
◆ HOW IT WORKS (the concepts)
Adaptive multiplier: ATR is ranked by percentile over a lookback window; the percentile sets the SuperTrend multiplier between your min and max.
SuperTrend core: the standard trailing-stop formula, flipping direction when price closes beyond the band.
Regime filter (Kaufman Efficiency Ratio): directional travel divided by total path = how trending vs choppy the market is. Signals are blocked in low-efficiency (range) conditions to cut false signals.
Momentum check: a flip is only taken when price is on the matching side of its momentum EMA.
Conviction Score: a weighted blend of trend efficiency, momentum agreement and trend-line slope (0–100).
Live stats: each signal is tracked sequentially — a “win” = price reaches TP1 (1R) before the stop — with no lookahead.
◆ HOW TO USE IT
Take BUY / SELL labels in the direction of the new trend; the SL and TP1/2/3 ladder give you the exact plan and risk/reward.

◆ ORIGINALITY
The SuperTrend trailing-stop formula is a standard, public technique, implemented here from scratch. The adaptive volatility-percentile multiplier, the regime filter integration, the Conviction Score, the R-based TP/SL ladder and the live win-rate engine are my own original work. No third-party or copied code is used.
◆ LIMITATIONS
This is a trend/volatility tool, not a complete system — always confirm with price action and risk management.
Like all trend-following tools, it can chop in tight ranges; the regime filter reduces but cannot eliminate this.
The fixed-R stop in the ladder is a planning aid (constant 1R), separate from the trailing adaptive line — they are different stops by design.
The live win-rate is the indicator’s own TP1-vs-stop estimate; if a single bar tags both the stop and TP1 it is counted as a win, so treat the stat as indicative, not exact.
Past performance and live stats do not guarantee future results.
◆ NON-REPAINTING
Trend, regime, signals and stats are computed from confirmed bar data with no security() lookahead. A signal printed on a closed bar stays. As with any live tool, the forming bar updates in real time and settles on close.

[ A L P H A X ] CATALYST - Volatility & Regime Prediction EngineAlphaX CATALYST — Volatility Ignition & Regime Prediction Engine: Compression Cycle Detection, Bias Vector Scoring, 6-Stage Regime State Machine & Ignition Probability Gate
AlphaX CATALYST is a professional-grade volatility prediction system built on a fundamentally different philosophy from every other indicator in the AlphaX suite. Where VOID, SURGE, FORTRESS, and ANCHOR all detect setups after price has established a structural context, CATALYST reads the market before the move happens. It does not wait for a breakout to confirm entry — it measures the energy compressing inside the market during quiet periods and predicts the ignition point before the explosion occurs. The core insight is simple but profound: markets breathe in cycles. They compress, coil, and then release energy in directional bursts. CATALYST quantifies every stage of that cycle — from the first signs of volatility contraction through full coil, ignition, trending expansion, and exhaustion — and fires signals only when the compression is deep enough, the directional bias during the coil is strong enough, and the higher timeframe structure confirms the direction. The result is a system that positions you at the moment of ignition — not a bar after the breakout has already occurred. Designed for volatility-aware traders across crypto, forex, gold, and indices on any timeframe.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🌬 The Philosophy — Markets Breathe
Every major directional move in every liquid market is preceded by a period of compression. Price range contracts. Volume dries up. Volatility percentile falls toward historic lows. The Bollinger Bands compress inside the Keltner Channels. Narrow range bars form consecutively. This compression is not random — it is the mechanism by which institutional positions are accumulated quietly, without moving price, before the delivery move begins.
Most traders see this compression phase as boring or unreadable and look elsewhere for setups. CATALYST is built on the opposite premise: the compression phase is the most important and readable phase of the entire price cycle . The depth of the compression tells you how much energy is coiling. The directional bias during the compression tells you where that energy is most likely to be released. The higher timeframe alignment tells you whether that release is likely to be with or against the macro institutional flow.
By the time the breakout candle is obvious to everyone, CATALYST has already been tracking the setup for multiple bars — measuring compression depth, monitoring accumulation bias, and computing the ignition probability score in real time. When ignition fires, it fires with advance conviction — not reactive confirmation.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
⚙ The 6-Stage Regime State Machine
CATALYST is built around a deterministic 6-stage regime cycle that every market passes through on every timeframe. Understanding the regime is the foundation of using CATALYST correctly — the dashboard, background colors, and regime flip labels all communicate exactly which stage the market is in at every bar.
Stage 0 — QUIET
The market is dormant. No significant compression is building (score below 35). Volatility is neither low nor building toward a setup. This is the baseline state — the market is between cycles. Gray background tint. No actionable context.
Stage 1 — BUILDING
Compression is beginning to develop (score between 35 and 75). One or more compression signals are present — the squeeze may be turning on, narrow range bars may be forming, volume may be beginning to dry. The coil is winding up. Orange background tint intensifies slightly. The bias vector label appears on the current coil box to indicate which direction accumulation is occurring.
Stage 2 — COILED
Maximum compression state (score 75+, full BB/KC squeeze active). The spring is fully wound. Energy is at maximum concentration. This is the highest pre-ignition alert state. Deeper orange background tint. The coil box is rendered with higher opacity. The COILED flip label appears on the chart. Dashboard shows COMPRESS at 75%+ and SQUEEZE ON. This is the state you watch most closely — ignition can occur at any bar from here.
Stage 3 — IGNITION
A single-bar flash state. The regime transitions through IGNITION on the bar where all ignition conditions are simultaneously met — compression deep enough, bias directional enough, expansion candle large enough, ATR expanding. The cyan background tint and IGNITION flip label mark this bar. The IGNITE signal label fires on this bar. This is the entry bar. Immediately transitions to TRENDING on the next bar.
Stage 4 — TRENDING
The expansion phase. Price is in directional delivery. The regime holds TRENDING until one of the exhaustion conditions fires: RSI reaching extreme levels with climax volume, a significant wick rejection candle in the trend direction, a squeeze reforming during the trend (stall), or a reversal candle closing through the 21 EMA. Yellow-green tint during bull expansion, red tint during bear expansion.
Stage 5 — EXHAUSTION
The expansion energy is spent. One of the exhaustion conditions has triggered. Purple diamond markers appear above or below price. This is the early warning that the trend leg is ending — not necessarily the trend itself, but the current momentum leg. After EXHAUSTION, the regime resets: if compression begins building again, it cycles back to BUILDING; if not, it returns to QUIET and the cycle begins again.
Why the state machine matters: Every signal in CATALYST is regime-gated. Ignition signals can only fire from the COILED state. Exhaustion warnings can only fire from the TRENDING state. This ensures signals are always contextually appropriate — you cannot get an ignition signal without prior compression, and you cannot get an exhaustion warning without a prior trend.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📉 The Compression Score Engine — Measuring the Coil
The compression score is a 0–100 composite reading that quantifies exactly how tightly the market is coiling at any given bar. It is the primary input to the regime state machine and is displayed live on the dashboard.
Six compression components and their weights:
Squeeze State (up to 30 points):
The BB/KC squeeze is the most powerful single compression signal. When Bollinger Bands are fully inside Keltner Channels, the market is at maximum volatility contraction — 30 points. If the squeeze fired on the previous bar (just released), 15 points are still awarded, capturing the residual compression energy at the moment of release.
Narrow Range Pattern — NR (up to 20 points):
The current bar's high-low range is measured against the lowest range over the lookback period (default: 7 bars). When the current bar has the narrowest range in the lookback window, 20 points are awarded. This is the NR7 pattern generalized to a configurable lookback — the classic volatility contraction signal.
NR Streak (up to 15 points):
Consecutive narrow range bars amplify the coil energy. When the NR count over the minimum coil duration reaches the threshold, 15 additional points are awarded. Multiple consecutive NR bars indicate the market has been compressing for a sustained period — a deeper, more energetic coil.
Volume Dry-Up (up to 15 points):
Current volume below the configurable fraction of its moving average (default: 65% of the 20-bar SMA) confirms institutional accumulation is occurring quietly — institutions are building positions without creating visible volume signals. 15 points awarded when volume is dry.
Volume Dry Streak (up to 10 points):
Multiple consecutive bars of volume dry-up, identical logic to the NR streak. Sustained low volume over multiple bars is a stronger coil signal than a single dry bar.
ATR Percentile Rank (up to 10 points):
The current ATR is ranked against its own history over the configurable lookback (default: 100 bars). When ATR is in the bottom 25th percentile of its historical range — meaning volatility is at a historic low for this instrument on this timeframe — 10 points are awarded. Below the 40th percentile scores 5 points. This ensures the compression is genuine historically, not just temporarily quiet in an already volatile market.
Reading the score:
0–35 — QUIET, no meaningful compression building
35–55 — BUILDING, compression developing but not yet actionable
55–74 — COILING, significant compression present
75–100 — FULLY COILED, maximum compression, squeeze active. Ignition-ready state
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🧭 The Bias Vector — Who Is Accumulating During the Coil?
Compression tells you the market is coiling. The Bias Vector tells you which direction institutions are accumulating during that coil. A range of -100 (fully bearish) to +100 (fully bullish), the bias vector is a composite of five independent directional pressure readings — each measuring accumulation from a different angle.
Volume Delta (up to ±25 points):
The estimated directional volume pressure — bull volume EMA minus bear volume EMA — forms the primary bias input. When delta is positive and rising (buyers accelerating), 25 points are added. When delta is positive but not accelerating, 10 points. The inverse applies for bear delta. This is the most direct measure of whether buyers or sellers are winning the quiet accumulation battle during compression.
Close-Position Bias (up to ±20 points):
Where closes fall within each bar's high-low range, averaged over the lookback period (default: 10 bars). When the average close position is in the upper 55%+ of the range — candles are consistently closing near their highs — buyers are controlling the candle closes. ±20 points based on whether the close bias is bullish (above 0.55) or bearish (below 0.45). This is a subtle but powerful measure of who is controlling the close during the coil.
Micro Structure (up to ±20 points):
Higher highs or higher lows over the structure lookback (default: 20 bars) vote bullish. Lower lows or lower highs vote bearish. ±20 points. Micro structure during compression tells you whether the coil is forming as a higher low (bullish coil) or a lower high (bearish coil) — the internal structure of the compression box reveals directional intent.
HTF Bias (up to ±20 points):
The higher timeframe EMA alignment (default: 60-minute, 50-period EMA). When HTF close is above the HTF EMA — the macro trend is bullish — +20 points. When below, -20 points. When Require HTF Alignment is disabled, this component is neutral. The HTF bias ensures the coil's directional reading is contextualized against the macro institutional flow.
Price vs BB Basis (up to ±15 points):
Whether the current close is above or below the BB basis (Bollinger Band midline). Price above the basis during compression means the coil is forming above fair value — a mild bullish signal. Price below the basis is mildly bearish. ±15 points. This adds a relative positioning dimension to the bias.
Reading the bias vector:
+35 to +100 — bull bias. Buyers are accumulating during the coil. Long ignition is favored
-35 to -100 — bear bias. Sellers are distributing during the coil. Short ignition is favored
-34 to +34 — neutral bias. No clear directional accumulation. Ignition may fire in either direction — lower conviction
Bias Arrow:
During BUILDING and COILED regime stages, a live bias arrow label appears below (bull bias) or above (bear bias) the coil box on the current bar, showing the directional score in real time. As new bars form, the arrow updates continuously — you can watch the bias building or shifting during the coil.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🔥 The Ignition Score — 0 to 100 Probability Gate
Every bar in the COILED regime, CATALYST computes two separate ignition scores — one for long ignition, one for short. These scores gate whether a signal fires. Only when the score meets the configured minimum threshold (default: 62) does a signal become eligible.
Long ignition score components:
Compression depth (up to 20 points) — fully coiled scores 20, isCoiling scores 10, moderate compression scores 10
Squeeze state (up to 20 points) — squeeze release scores 20 (maximum — the spring just released), squeeze still active scores 10
Bias vector alignment (up to 25 points) — bias above +50 scores 25, above +35 scores 15, below 0 deducts 15
HTF alignment (up to 15 points) — HTF bullish scores 15, disabled scores 15 (neutral)
Expansion candle quality (up to 15 points) — strong bull body above ATR threshold scores 15, any bullish close scores 8
ATR expansion (up to 5 points) — ATR expanding above its short-term average confirms the coil is releasing
Volume delta confirmation (up to 10 points) — accelerating buy delta scores 10, positive delta scores 5
The short ignition score mirrors this structure with all conditions inverted.
What the score thresholds mean in practice:
90–100 — near-perfect setup. All components aligned. Extremely rare
75–89 — elite setup. Multiple high-weight components confirmed simultaneously
62–74 (default threshold) — high-quality setup. Sufficient confirmation to fire
50–61 — moderate quality. Available if you lower the threshold, but carries more false signals
Below 50 — low-quality ignition conditions. System will not fire at any reasonable threshold setting
The live long and short scores are displayed in real time on the dashboard as IGNITE L and IGNITE S — color-coded yellow-green or red when they meet the threshold, neutral otherwise. You can watch the ignition score building toward threshold in real time during the coil phase.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
⚡ The Ignition Signal — IGNITE Entry
The IGNITE label is CATALYST's primary entry signal. It fires when all of the following conditions are simultaneously confirmed on a bar close:
Hard requirements (all must be true):
Regime is in COILED state (compression score 75+, squeeze active)
The expansion candle body meets or exceeds the configured minimum (default: 1.15× ATR) — the breakout candle is large and directional
The bias vector is aligned with the signal direction (+35 or higher for long, -35 or lower for short)
ATR is actively expanding above its short-term average — the volatility expansion has begun
Squeeze has released on this bar or was releasing on the previous bar (when Require Squeeze Release is enabled)
Ignition score meets the minimum threshold (default: 62)
Session filter is satisfied (when enabled)
Signal cooldown has elapsed since the last signal
Signal label: A large IGNITE label appears below the bar (long) or above (short) on the exact ignition bar. Yellow-green for long, red for short.
Why this is fundamentally different from a standard breakout signal: A standard breakout indicator fires when price closes above a resistance level or a band. It reacts to what has already happened. CATALYST fires on the ignition bar only after verifying that the preceding compression was deep enough (COILED regime), that the directional bias during the coil was confirmed (bias vector), that the breakout candle itself is sufficiently large (body ATR check), and that the volatility is genuinely expanding (ATR expansion). Every component addresses a specific failure mode of basic breakout trading — false breakouts, weak breakouts, counter-HTF breakouts, and low-compression breakouts are all filtered before the signal fires.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🔮 The Compression Coil Box
When the compression score crosses 55 and the BUILDING regime begins, CATALYST draws a live Coil Box — an orange-tinted rectangle spanning the high-low range of the entire compression period from the first coiling bar to the current bar.
What the coil box represents: The coil box is the visual representation of the spring being wound. Every bar that the coil remains active, the box extends to the right and expands to incorporate the new bar's range. The box's height represents the total price range of the compression period — the tighter this range, the more compressed the energy.
Box opacity: The box becomes more opaque when the compression reaches the fully COILED state (score 75+, squeeze active). This visual intensity progression gives you an immediate sense of compression depth — a faint box means early-stage building, a deep orange box means maximum coil.
Box on ignition: When ignition fires, the box remains on the chart at the coil range, giving you a clear visual reference for the compression zone that preceded the move. The coil box range is also used for structural stop loss placement — the SL Beyond Coil Box Edge setting places the stop loss beyond the coil box boundary rather than a fixed ATR distance from entry.
Box cleanup: When the regime returns to QUIET (compression fully dissipated without ignition), the box is deleted. When ignition occurs, the box is retained as a reference.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
⚠ Exhaustion Radar — Early Warning System
The Exhaustion Radar monitors the TRENDING regime for signs that the expansion energy is being spent. When exhaustion conditions are met, purple diamond markers appear above (bull trend exhaustion) or below (bear trend exhaustion) the bar — a warning that the current momentum leg is likely approaching its end.
Exhaustion conditions (any one is sufficient):
RSI climax with volume spike — RSI above the overbought threshold (default: 72) in a bull trend with volume exceeding the configured climax multiple (default: 2.2×). This combination of extreme RSI and high volume is the classic climax top pattern — buyers are exhausting their buying capacity simultaneously
RSI climax with volume spike (bear) — RSI below the oversold threshold (default: 28) with climax volume in a bear trend. Sellers exhausting
Wick rejection in trend direction — a bar with a rejection wick exceeding the configured minimum percentage (default: 55%) in the direction of the trend. A bull trend bar with a massive upper wick indicates aggressive selling into the highs — supply overwhelming demand at the extreme
Trend stall squeeze — when a squeeze (BB inside KC) forms during the trending phase while volume is also drying up. This indicates the expansion move has stalled into a new compression without resolution — energy is being absorbed rather than continuing
Reversal candle through 21 EMA — a strong opposing candle that closes through the 21-period EMA in the trend direction. In a bull trend, a strong bearish close through the 21 EMA indicates the trend's immediate momentum structure has been broken
How to use exhaustion signals: Exhaustion diamonds are not reversal signals. They indicate that the current momentum leg is likely complete — not that the trend has ended. Use them to take partial or full profit on trend trades, tighten trailing stops, or wait for the next CATALYST compression cycle to develop before re-entering.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━════════════════════════
🎯 Coil-Anchored Risk Guidance System
On every IGNITE signal, CATALYST draws forward-projecting risk guidance levels for the duration of the trade.
Stop Loss (SL):
When SL Beyond Coil Box Edge is enabled (default: on), the stop is placed beyond the coil box boundary — below the coil box low (long) or above the coil box high (short) — plus a small ATR buffer. The coil box represents the full compression range: if price returns into and through the opposite side of the coil box after ignition, the breakout has failed and the setup is invalidated. This gives the stop structural meaning beyond just an ATR distance. When the coil SL is less conservative than the fixed ATR SL, the system uses whichever is further from entry to ensure adequate protection.
TP1 — First Target:
2.0× ATR from the entry close (configurable). The initial partial profit target. At TP1, consider scaling out 50% of the position.
TP2 — Extended Target:
4.0× ATR from entry (configurable). The full expansion target for the remaining position — allowing the trailing stop or regime-based exit (exhaustion signal) to manage the remainder.
Level visualization: All three levels are drawn as horizontal dashed or dotted lines extending 12 bars forward from the signal bar, with price labels at the right edge showing exact levels. SL in red, TP1 in dim yellow-green, TP2 in bright yellow-green.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🚀 How to Trade with AlphaX CATALYST — Step by Step
Step 1 — Monitor the Regime
Check the dashboard REGIME row. If it shows QUIET, nothing actionable is developing. If it shows BUILDING, a compression cycle is beginning — start paying attention
Watch COMPRESS build toward 75+. When SQUEEZE shows ON simultaneously, the market is in maximum coil state. This is your highest-alert pre-signal phase
Note the Coil Box forming and narrowing on the chart. The tighter the box, the more energy compressed inside
Step 2 — Assess the Bias During the Coil
Watch the Bias Arrow label near the coil box. Is it showing ▲ BIAS or ▼ BIAS? A strong positive bias (+50 or above) during a tight coil is the strongest possible pre-ignition setup
Check HTF BIAS on the dashboard — does it confirm the bias arrow direction? HTF alignment is worth 15 ignition score points and significantly increases the probability of a clean directional ignition
Watch VOL DELTA — are BUYERS or SELLERS winning the accumulation battle during the quiet phase?
If the Bias Vector is below ±35, the coil does not have strong directional conviction. Lower your size expectations or wait for bias to build
Step 3 — Watch the Ignition Scores Approach Threshold
As the coil deepens, watch IGNITE L and IGNITE S scores on the dashboard climbing toward the minimum threshold. When a score crosses the threshold and highlights, the system is primed — ignition can fire on the next qualifying expansion bar
The squeeze release (SQUEEZE shows RELEASE) is the most important single event in the ignition sequence. When the squeeze releases on a strong expansion candle in the bias direction, ignition fires immediately if the score is sufficient
Step 4 — Enter on the IGNITE Label
The IGNITE label marks the exact ignition bar. Enter on the close of the signal bar or the open of the following bar
The SL is placed beyond the coil box edge — below the coil low (long) or above the coil high (short). This is your structural invalidation: if price re-enters and closes through the opposite side of the coil box, the breakout has failed
TP1 at 2.0× ATR — scale out 50% here. Move the remainder to breakeven
Let TP2 or the first exhaustion diamond manage the remaining position
Step 5 — Exit on Exhaustion or Regime Shift
A purple diamond marks the exhaustion condition. Take profit on the remaining position or tighten the stop aggressively
The dashboard shows EXHAUSTION regime — the trend energy has been identified as spent
If no exhaustion fires and price continues, the system will track the regime as TRENDING — let the move run until exhaustion appears
After EXHAUSTION, the regime resets. Watch for a new compression cycle to build in the updated directional context
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
⚠ Identifying Low-Quality Conditions — When Not to Trade
Stand aside when:
Regime is QUIET and COMPRESS is below 35 — no cycle is developing. CATALYST has nothing actionable and no signal can fire. Do not force entries
Regime reaches COILED but Bias Vector is below ±35 — the coil is real but the directional accumulation is inconclusive. Ignition in this environment carries reduced directional probability. Reduce size significantly or wait for bias to develop clarity
HTF BIAS opposes the bias vector direction — a bearish HTF while the bias vector is bullish means the coil is building against the macro institutional flow. Counter-HTF ignitions have a significantly lower success rate. Wait for HTF alignment
IGNITE L and IGNITE S scores are both below threshold — the market is compressing but neither a long nor short setup has sufficient confirmation quality. No signal will fire. Wait for the scores to build
Multiple regime cycles in rapid succession without trending — BUILDING → COILED → QUIET → BUILDING cycles that never reach IGNITION indicate a market in deep chop or accumulation. Do not try to anticipate the breakout direction — wait for the cycle to complete cleanly
Session shows FILTERED — the session filter has blocked the current time window. No signals will fire
COIL BARS is below the minimum coil duration — the compression has been too brief to build meaningful energy. A coil of 2 bars has far less stored energy than a coil of 8+ bars. Prioritize setups with longer coil durations
The ideal CATALYST setup:
COMPRESS at 80+, SQUEEZE ON for multiple bars
Bias Vector at +50 or above (long) or -50 or below (short)
HTF BIAS aligned with the bias direction
VOL DELTA confirming the bias direction (BUYERS for long, SELLERS for short)
IGNITE L or S score approaching 75+
COIL BARS at 5 or more — sustained compression
Squeeze RELEASE on the ignition bar — the spring snapping
Strong body expansion candle in the bias direction
When all these conditions align, CATALYST produces its highest-conviction ignition signals — setups where the compression depth, directional accumulation, HTF alignment, volume pressure, and expansion quality are all confirming simultaneously.

🎯 Recommended Settings by Instrument & Timeframe
The default configuration is optimized for XAUUSD, major forex pairs, and crypto on M5–H1 :
Min Ignition Score at 62 — strong quality gate while allowing frequent enough signals on intraday timeframes
HTF at 60-minute — meaningful macro context for M5–M15 trading. The squeeze and ignition on M5 confirmed by H1 EMA alignment is the core multi-timeframe framework
ATR Percentile Lookback at 100 — calibrated for intraday volatility cycles on liquid instruments
NR Lookback at 7 — captures classic NR7 patterns while remaining sensitive enough for fast-moving instruments
For other instruments or timeframes, adjust:
M1–M3 scalping — reduce ATR Percentile Lookback to 50, reduce NR Lookback to 5, reduce Min Ignition Score to 58, shorten Cooldown to 3 bars
H1–H4 swing trading — set HTF to Daily or Weekly, increase ATR Percentile Lookback to 200–250, increase Min Ignition Score to 68–72, increase TP2 to 6.0–8.0× ATR for wider swing targets
Crypto (BTC, ETH) — increase KC Mult to 2.0–2.5 and BB Mult to 2.5 to account for wider natural volatility, increase Climax Volume threshold to 2.8–3.5 for crypto's naturally higher volume spikes
Higher signal frequency — lower Min Ignition Score to 55–58, reduce NR Lookback to 5, reduce Min Coil Duration to 2
Ultra-selective signals only — raise Min Ignition Score to 72–78, require Squeeze Release on, HTF Alignment on, increase Min Coil Duration to 5
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
👥 Who This Is For
💥 Volatility breakout and expansion traders — CATALYST is purpose-built for traders who want to enter at the moment of volatility ignition, not after the move has already extended significantly
⚡ Squeeze traders and NR pattern traders — the compression engine formalizes and quantifies every squeeze and narrow range pattern into a single score, eliminating subjective judgment about whether a coil is "tight enough"
🔮 Anticipatory traders who want to read the market before it moves — the bias vector and ignition score system provides pre-signal intelligence during the coil that no reactive indicator can match
📊 Multi-timeframe traders — the HTF bias integration means every CATALYST signal is contextualized against the higher timeframe institutional flow
🧠 Systematic traders — every component of the compression score, bias vector, and ignition score is quantified and configurable. There is no subjectivity in what constitutes a "good enough" coil
🎯 Risk-conscious traders — the coil-anchored stop loss is structurally meaningful — placed at the exact level that invalidates the breakout thesis
📈 Traders across all asset classes — the ATR normalization and percentile-ranked volatility detection means CATALYST works consistently on gold, forex, crypto, and indices without manual recalibration between instruments
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📝 Notes
All signals are confirmed on bar close — the indicator is non-repainting by design. Regime state, compression score, bias vector, and ignition scores all finalize on confirmed bars
The regime state machine is sequential — IGNITION can only be reached from COILED. This means no signal can fire without prior confirmed compression regardless of how strong the expansion candle is
The ATR percentile rank requires the configured lookback history to be available. On charts with fewer bars than the ATR Percentile Lookback setting, the rank may underperform until sufficient history accumulates. This warm-up effect resolves naturally
The bias arrow label is drawn only on the last bar and refreshes on every tick during live trading. It does not appear on historical bars — only the current bar during BUILDING and COILED regimes
The SL / TP guide lines are redrawn on every new ignition signal. Previous signal levels are deleted when a new signal fires
Maximum 500 labels, 500 lines, and 100 boxes are rendered. The coil box, regime flip labels, and SL/TP levels all count toward these limits. On very active charts with long history, the oldest labels may be removed by PulseWire's rendering limits
The session filter uses UTC hours rather than exchange-specific sessions, making it instrument-agnostic across all markets globally
The indicator does not track open positions or P&L — the regime state tracks the expansion direction (bull or bear) from ignition through exhaustion, but does not connect to any broker or account

Squeeze Momentum Pro - TTM Squeeze, Volatility Breakout & MomentSqueeze Momentum Pro - TTM Squeeze, Volatility Breakout & Moment is a modern volatility squeeze and momentum indicator for PulseWire that shows you exactly when the market is coiling (building energy) and the precise moment that energy fires into a trend. It combines the classic TTM Squeeze concept — Bollinger Bands contracting inside the Keltner Channel — with a multi-tier compression engine (Squeeze Pro) and a glowing momentum histogram, so you can trade breakouts, momentum, trend continuation and volatility expansion on any market and any timeframe: forex, crypto, stocks, indices, futures, gold (XAUUSD), Bitcoin (BTCUSD), NASDAQ, S&P 500, oil and more. Built in Pine Script v6, it adds neon momentum candles, rare high-conviction squeeze fire signals and a live dashboard — a clean, professional upgrade over a plain squeeze momentum oscillator. Keywords: squeeze momentum, squeeze pro, TTM squeeze, volatility squeeze, momentum indicator, Bollinger Bands, Keltner Channel, breakout indicator, volatility breakout, momentum oscillator, trend, buy sell signals, scalping, day trading, swing trading, no repaint.
◆ WHY THE SQUEEZE WORKS
When Bollinger Bands contract inside the Keltner Channel, volatility is compressing — the market is coiling like a spring. Low volatility is always followed by high volatility. The squeeze tells you a big move is building; the momentum histogram tells you which direction it is most likely to release. Trading the release of a squeeze is one of the highest-reward, lowest-risk setups in technical analysis.
◆ WHAT IT DOES
3 compression tiers (Squeeze Pro): HIGH (BB inside KC x1.0, tightest coil), MID (x1.5), LOW (x2.0), and EXPANSION (bands released). Tier is shown by colour-coded dots on the zero line.
Neon momentum histogram: linear-regression momentum that glows brighter as it extends and dims as it fades — instant read of strength and direction.
Squeeze Fire signals: rare, high-conviction arrows that fire only when a real coil (HIGH/MID) releases — filtered to remove noisy weak releases.
Neon momentum candles: your chart candles are tinted by momentum (turquoise up / magenta down).
Live dashboard: State, a unique Coil Energy gauge (stored energy of the coil), Momentum strength, Signal and Bias.
◆ HOW IT WORKS (under the hood)
Bollinger Bands (length/multiplier) measure compression; Keltner Channel (ATR-based) is the volatility reference. A squeeze is active when both BB edges sit inside the KC edges.
Three KC multipliers create three compression tiers so you can tell a mild coil from a maximum-tension coil.
Momentum is a linear regression of price versus the average of the Donchian midline and the moving average (LazyBear method).
The script tracks the tightest tier reached during each coil; a fire is only flagged when the coil reaches your chosen tier and then releases — so arrows mean something.
Coil Energy accumulates from how long and how tightly price has been compressed, and discharges on release — a unique read of stored breakout potential.
◆ HOW TO USE IT
Wait for a squeeze (especially a HIGH tier — tightest spring). The dashboard shows State and rising Coil Energy.
On the Squeeze Fire arrow, enter in the direction of the histogram colour (teal = long, magenta = short).
Stay in while momentum keeps extending (bars growing, bright colour); exit as momentum fades (bars shrinking, dim colour) or flips across the zero line.
Use Fire on release from to control signal frequency: HIGH only (rare, strongest) → MID+ → Any (more signals).
Works on all symbols and timeframes; combine with your own support/resistance, structure or trend tools for confluence.
◆ SETTINGS
Squeeze Engine: BB length & multiplier, KC length, KC multipliers for HIGH/MID/LOW tiers.
Momentum: linear-regression length.
Fire Signals: release tier threshold (HIGH only / MID+ / Any).
Histogram / Candles: glow, tint chart candles by momentum, optional squeeze-zone shading, fire markers.
Panel: show/hide, position, background, accent colour.
◆ ALERTS
Squeeze Fire Long / Short
High Squeeze started (maximum compression)
Momentum crossed zero
◆ LIMITATIONS
This is a momentum/volatility tool, not a complete system — always confirm with price action and risk management.
On forex and crypto, volatility (ATR) and momentum reflect the data feed of your broker/exchange; results can vary slightly between feeds.
A squeeze signals that a move is building, not its direction with certainty — the momentum colour gives the probable bias, not a guarantee.
With "HIGH only" some calm instruments may rarely reach the tightest tier; loosen the KC HIGH multiplier or switch to "MID+" if you want more signals.
◆ NON-REPAINTING
Every value comes from confirmed bar data with no lookahead and no security() smoothing tricks. A signal printed on a closed bar stays. As with any live tool, the current forming bar updates in real time and settles on close.

HTF Power of Three @SafarTradesHTF Power of Three
HTF Power of Three is a higher timeframe visualization framework designed to project a developing Daily, Weekly, or Monthly candle directly onto a lower timeframe chart.
The indicator is built around ICT's Power of Three (PO3) concept, allowing traders to monitor the current higher timeframe range and observe how price develops within that structure throughout the session.
Rather than repeatedly switching between execution and higher timeframes, traders can maintain awareness of the active higher timeframe candle while remaining focused on lower timeframe execution.
Many traders use the Daily, Weekly, or Monthly candle as a reference for directional bias, range analysis, and Power of Three development. However, viewing these structures traditionally requires frequent timeframe changes.
HTF Power of Three solves this by projecting the active higher timeframe candle directly onto the chart, allowing traders to continuously monitor:
• Current higher timeframe range
• Relative position of current price within that range
• Expansion of the active candle as new price data forms
• Potential accumulation, manipulation, and distribution development
• Higher timeframe context during lower timeframe execution
Power of Three Framework
The indicator is designed to help traders visualize how price is developing inside the active higher timeframe range.
As the higher timeframe candle evolves, the projected structure updates in real time, allowing traders to monitor changes in range expansion, directional movement, and overall delivery without leaving the execution chart.
By maintaining visibility of the active higher timeframe candle, traders can better understand where current price is trading relative to the projected range and how the developing structure aligns with their market narrative.
Higher Timeframe Reference Levels
The projected candle includes key higher timeframe reference points that help traders maintain context throughout the session.
Optional display elements include:
• Open
• High
• Low
• Current Close
• Range Information
• Price-Based Range Measurements
• Tick-Based Range Measurements
These references allow traders to quickly evaluate the state of the developing higher timeframe candle without requiring separate charts.
Customization
The indicator includes extensive display controls allowing users to customize:
• Daily, Weekly, or Monthly projections
• Projection positioning and offset
• Bullish and bearish candle appearance
• Wick, border, and body styling
• OHLC label visibility
• Range table visibility
• Table positioning
• Range display format
• Daily calculation method options
Intended Use
HTF Power of Three is designed for traders who combine lower timeframe execution with higher timeframe narrative and range analysis.
By projecting the active Daily, Weekly, or Monthly candle directly onto the chart, the indicator provides continuous visibility of higher timeframe structure while reducing the need for constant timeframe switching.

Exogenous Heatmap [invincible3]Exogenous Heatmap
The Exogenous Heatmap is a multi-country macro and market-performance dashboard designed to help traders and investors monitor external economic forces that may influence currencies, equities, commodities, and broader risk sentiment.
Instead of focusing only on price action from the current chart, this indicator visualizes key exogenous variables across major economies in a clean historical heatmap format. Users can compare countries by interest rates, GDP growth, balance of trade, foreign exchange reserves, and major stock index performance.
The indicator supports two calculation modes:
1. Raw Value
Displays the actual macroeconomic value or stock index performance for each country.
2. Differential vs Base
Compares each country against a selected base country. This is useful for identifying relative macro strength or weakness. For example, if the base country is set to the USA, the indicator shows how Australia, Japan, the UK, Europe, China, and other countries compare against the United States.
The heatmap includes the following datasets:
Interest Rates and Differentials
Displays policy interest rates or interest-rate differentials between countries. This is especially useful for forex analysis because higher relative interest rates can influence capital flows and currency strength.
GDP and Differentials
Displays GDP year-over-year growth or GDP growth differentials. This helps identify which economies are expanding faster or slower relative to the selected base country.
Balance of Trade and Differentials
Displays trade balance data. A stronger trade surplus may indicate external demand strength, while a deficit may reflect import pressure or weaker export competitiveness.
Reserves and Differentials
Displays foreign exchange reserve levels. This can help assess external liquidity strength and a country’s ability to manage currency or balance-of-payment stress.
Stock Index Performance and Differentials
Displays the performance of major stock indexes from leading economies. This adds a global risk-on/risk-off component to the indicator. Strong equity index performance may reflect improving investor sentiment, while weak performance may signal risk aversion.
The default stock index symbols include:
Australia: ASX 200
Canada: TSX Composite
China: Shanghai Composite
Europe: Euro Stoxx 50
Japan: Nikkei 225
New Zealand: NZX 50
Switzerland: SMI
United Kingdom: FTSE 100
United States: S&P 500
Users can manually change these symbols from the settings panel if they prefer alternative benchmarks.
Example 1: Interest Rate Differential
Suppose the selected dataset is Interest Rates and Differentials and the base country is set to USA .
If:
USA interest rate = 5.50%
Japan interest rate = 0.50%
Then Japan’s differential versus the USA is:
0.50% - 5.50% = -5.00 pp
This means Japan’s policy rate is 5.00 percentage points lower than the USA. In the heatmap, this would appear as a negative differential and would be colored toward the negative side of the gradient.
Example 2: Stock Index Performance Differential
Suppose the selected dataset is Stock Index Performance and Differentials and the timeframe is set to Monthly .
If:
USA S&P 500 monthly return = +4.20%
Japan Nikkei 225 monthly return = +2.10%
Then Japan’s stock index performance differential versus the USA is:
2.10% - 4.20% = -2.10 pp
This means Japan’s equity market underperformed the USA by 2.10 percentage points during that monthly period.
Example 3: Raw Stock Index Performance
If the calculation mode is set to Raw Value , the indicator displays each country’s own index return for the selected period.
For example:
USA: +4.20%
Japan: +2.10%
UK: -1.30%
Europe: +0.80%
This allows users to quickly identify which regions are leading or lagging in global equity performance.
Color Interpretation
Positive values are shown using the positive color gradient.
Negative values are shown using the negative color gradient.
Neutral or near-zero values are shown near the neutral color.
The indicator includes both automatic and manual color scaling. Auto Scale adjusts the heatmap based on the strongest visible value, while Manual Scale lets the user set a fixed range for more consistent comparisons.
How Traders Can Use It
Forex traders can use interest-rate and GDP differentials to evaluate relative currency strength.
Macro traders can use trade balance and reserve data to identify external economic pressure or resilience.
Equity and index traders can use global stock index performance to track international risk sentiment.
Commodity traders can use the dashboard as a macro backdrop because global growth, rates, and risk appetite often influence commodity demand and capital flows.
Important Notes
For percentage-based datasets such as interest rates, GDP growth, and stock index returns, differential values are displayed in percentage points, abbreviated as “pp.”
For balance of trade and reserves, raw values may often be more meaningful than differentials because countries may report values in different scales or currencies.
This indicator is designed as a macro and risk-sentiment visualization tool. It should be used together with technical analysis, fundamental analysis, and proper risk management.

Smart Volume Profile VPVR POC, Value Area, SR [LunqFX]Smart Volume Profile VPVR is a modern, professional-grade volume profile indicator for PulseWire that turns raw traded volume into the cleanest possible map of where the market actually did business. It plots the Point of Control (POC), the full 70% Value Area (VAH / VAL), and every High and Low Volume Node (HVN / LVN) as glowing, easy-to-read horizontal support and resistance levels — on any symbol and any timeframe: forex, crypto, stocks, indices, futures, gold (XAUUSD), Bitcoin (BTCUSD), NASDAQ, S&P 500, oil and more. Unlike a plain histogram, this VPVR (Volume Profile Visible Range) tool layers a live order-flow dashboard on top that reads the market in real time and tells you whether price is accepting value, rejecting value, rotating back to fair value, or breaking out — the exact context that separates profitable volume-profile trading from guessing. Built entirely in Pine Script v6 with neon gradient candles and a fully readable, gradient-coloured profile, it is designed to be both beautiful and genuinely useful for day trading, scalping, swing trading and intraday analysis.
◆ WHY VOLUME PROFILE MATTERS
Most indicators are based on price and time. Volume profile is based on price and volume — it answers a completely different and more important question: at which prices did the most trading actually happen? Those prices are where institutions, liquidity and "fair value" concentrate. High-volume areas act as magnets and strong support/resistance; low-volume areas are vacuums that price rips through. By making this structure obvious, Smart Volume Profile helps you trade with the auction instead of against it.
◆ WHAT IT DRAWS ON THE CHART
POC — Point of Control (gold ray): the single most-traded price in the window. This is the market's fairest value and its strongest magnet. Price returns to the POC again and again; it is the most important pivot on the chart.
VAH / VAL — Value Area High & Low (dashed rays): the top and bottom of the zone that contains 70% of all traded volume (fully configurable, 40–95%). Inside this band the market is "comfortable"; outside it the market is in discovery / imbalance.
High Volume Nodes (HVN): thick, bright rows = heavy acceptance = strong support & resistance and reaction/reversal zones.
Low Volume Nodes (LVN): thin, dim rows = rejection / fast-move zones where price tends to travel quickly and gap.
Gradient histogram: every row is colour-graded by its volume, so the profile literally glows where volume is heaviest — you read the structure at a glance instead of squinting at bars.
All levels extend as live rays with clean, high-contrast labels showing the exact price.
◆ THE LIVE DASHBOARD PANEL (this is what makes it "Smart")
A plain volume profile just draws lines. This indicator adds a compact, modern analytics panel that computes context you cannot see on the chart and condenses it into one glance:
Signal — the headline call, colour-coded: ▲ LONG revert, ▼ SHORT revert, ▲ BREAKOUT, ▼ BREAKDOWN, or ● BALANCED. This is the playbook for the current moment (logic explained below).
→ POC — the live distance from current price to the Point of Control, in %. This is your mean-reversion target and a quick read of how stretched price is from fair value.
In VA — a clean segmented meter showing where price currently sits inside the value area (from VAL on the left to VAH on the right). Instantly tells you if you're at the top, middle, or bottom of value.
Acceptance — the split of volume traded above vs below the POC (e.g. 52% ▼ / ▲ 48%). Reveals which side the market is building value on — a directional bias the chart hides.
Pressure — a segmented meter of buy volume vs sell volume across the whole window. Shows whether buyers or sellers are in control of the auction.
Footer — the lookback size and the actual % of volume captured by the value area, so you always know the context behind the numbers.
The panel is fully themeable (position, background, accent) and stays readable on dark charts.
◆ HOW IT WORKS (under the hood)
Binning: the chosen lookback window is divided into price rows ("buckets"). Resolution is adjustable for coarse or razor-sharp profiles.
True volume distribution: instead of dumping each bar's volume at its close, the indicator can spread each bar's volume across every price it actually traded through (high→low), producing a far more accurate profile than close-only methods.
POC detection: the row with the maximum accumulated volume becomes the Point of Control — by construction always the longest bar in the histogram.
Value Area expansion: starting from the POC, the algorithm steps outward toward whichever neighbouring row holds more volume, accumulating until the target (default 70%) of total volume is enclosed. The final boundaries become VAH and VAL — the same methodology used in classic Market Profile.
Order-flow analytics: the script measures volume above vs below the POC (Acceptance) and buy-bar vs sell-bar volume (Pressure) across the window.
Smart Signal engine: it blends Acceptance and Pressure into a single order-flow reading and combines it with price location relative to the value area to classify the situation as a rotation or a breakout (see below).
◆ THE SMART SIGNAL LOGIC
A naive volume-profile tool always says "revert to POC", which gets you run over in trends. This one is smarter:
Price BELOW value + order flow NOT confirming the drop → ▲ LONG revert (rotation back to POC).
Price BELOW value + order flow confirming the drop → ▼ BREAKDOWN (continuation — don't catch the knife).
Price ABOVE value + order flow NOT confirming the push → ▼ SHORT revert (rotation back to POC).
Price ABOVE value + order flow confirming the push → ▲ BREAKOUT (continuation — trade with it).
Price INSIDE value → ● BALANCED (range conditions — fade the edges back toward POC).
This single distinction — rotation vs breakout — is the difference between fading a pullback and getting trapped against a trend.
◆ HOW TO USE IT
Mean-reversion / range trading: in BALANCED or revert states, fade moves at VAH/VAL back toward the POC. The → POC distance is your target; HVN rows are logical stop zones.
Breakout / trend trading: in BREAKOUT / BREAKDOWN states, trade in the direction of the move and target the next HVN. Avoid counter-trend fades when order flow confirms the break.
Support & resistance mapping: treat thick HVN rows as high-probability reaction zones and expect rapid, low-resistance moves through LVN gaps.
Bias & confluence: use Acceptance and Pressure for directional bias, and combine the POC/VAH/VAL levels with your own structure, liquidity, order blocks or session tools for higher-conviction entries.
Multi-timeframe: raise the Lookback for higher-timeframe value (swing context), lower it for intraday/scalping context. Increase Rows for more precise POC placement.
◆ SETTINGS
Volume Profile Engine: Lookback (bars), Rows (resolution), Value Area %, true-range volume distribution toggle.
Profile Look: width, gap from price, anchor side (right of price / classic overlay), Value-Area / outside / POC colours.
Levels: POC ray, VAH/VAL rays, optional Value-Area shading, ray extension, label size (Small → Huge).
Neon Candles: gradient candles (turquoise bullish / magenta bearish) with momentum-scaled glow halo.
Panel: show/hide, position, background and accent colour.
◆ ALERTS
Price crossed POC
Breakout above VAH
Breakdown below VAL
◆ NON-REPAINTING
The profile, levels and dashboard are single objects rendered on the last bar over a fixed rolling lookback — historical bars are never repainted. As with any live tool, the current bar is included in the calculation, so the real-time read updates tick by tick and settles on close; closed history never changes.

Strong Breakout Signals | ProjectSyndicateStrong Breakout Signals catches high-probability trend breakouts the moment a genuinely tested level gives way — and instead of treating every poke past a line as a breakout, it confirms each one with two independent engines and ranks it 0–10 with a star score. A clustered support/resistance wall that price has touched several times, or a clean break of market structure BOS / CHoCH, has to break with real momentum before a signal arms. Every setup gets a structural stop beyond the broken zone and fixed R-based targets, and is tracked live on a full statistics dashboard so you can see how the logic behaves on the exact symbol and timeframe you trade.
🧠 Dual-Engine Hybrid Breakout Core — the core idea. Two confirmation engines run in parallel. Engine A Clustered-Zone Break only fires when price breaks through a real support/resistance wall built from several pivots stacked at the same level — a level the market has actually respected, not an arbitrary line. Engine B Market-Structure Break tracks the most recent swing high/low and tags the break as BOS break of structure — a continuation or CHoCH change of character — where the break flips the prior direction. When both engines agree on the same bar, the setup earns a confluence bonus. Signals are evaluated on the bar's close and are fixed once that bar closes — historical signals do not repaint the tested-zone pivots confirm after the pivot lookback, an inherent property of pivot detection.
📈 Tested-Zone & Structure Mapping — a pivot engine continuously maps recent swing highs and lows, then groups nearby pivots into banded zones. The more times a level has been tested, and the older the wall, the more significant its break — both feed directly into the strength score. You choose how many touches a level needs to qualify and whether breaks confirm on the candle close stricter or the wick earlier.
🎯 Structural Stop + R-Based Targets — the stop is placed just beyond the broken zone with an ATR buffer the resistance that just broke becomes the new support, or vice-versa, then capped and floored so it can never balloon into a wide stop or collapse into a meaningless one. TP1, TP2, and TP3 are set at clean R multiples TP1 defaults to a full 1R — a real first target, not a clipped one. Every signal plots its complete Entry / SL / TP1 / TP2 / TP3 line set, labeled price levels, and filled green TP / red SL zone boxes, with a result label on exit.
🎚️ Zone-Conviction Controls — two inputs set how established a level must be before its break counts: Minimum Pivot Tests how many touches build the wall and Minimum Strength the 0–10 gate. Tighten them for fewer, higher-quality breakouts; loosen them for more frequent signals. This is your main dial for conviction versus frequency.
🧭 HTF Trend Alignment Filter — an optional higher-timeframe EMA filter blocks counter-trend breakouts, keeping you on the dominant side of the market longs only above it, shorts only below. The higher-timeframe value is read without lookahead. A signal cooldown spaces out entries so a single impulsive move doesn't stack multiple tickets.
⭐ 0–10 Setup-Quality Score — every breakout is scored and labeled with 1–5 stars and a tier FORMING → WEAK → MODERATE → STRONG → VERY STRONG → ELITE across zone quality number of tests, zone age, breakout-candle body, range expansion ATR, volume confirmation, momentum alignment, clean-break distance, RSI agreement, two-engine confluence, and HTF alignment. Treat the score as a confluence / cleanliness read for ranking and thinning setups — it describes how textbook a breakout is, not a guaranteed outcome. A Minimum Strength / Only Strong gate lets you display and alert on stronger setups only, while the dashboard keeps tracking every tier in the background.
📊 Live Statistics Dashboard — a non-intrusive panel tracks, in real time on your chart: current status and the active trade, the last signal with its BOS / CHoCH tag and score, total signals, win rate, closed trades, profit factor, average R per trade, best-performing direction, long vs short win rate, current and max win/loss streaks, and a TP1 / TP2 / TP3 / SL hit breakdown. These are computed live from the signals on your current symbol and timeframe — so you can judge the settings yourself rather than trusting a number printed in a description.
🎨 Clean Themed Visuals — four color themes, a breakout zone whose shading grows more opaque the stronger the score so quality reads at a glance, opaque labels anchored clear of price for unobstructed reading, and a compact level ticket that stays attached to each trade and snaps to the exit bar when it closes. A Max Zone Width control caps how far the SL / TP / Entry zones extend to the right, so long trades never stretch into oversized towers across the chart.
🔔 Detailed Alerts — fires on strong long / short breakouts, plus partial-TP, TP3, and SL events, including direction and score, formatted for manual or automated use. The minimum-strength setting can restrict alerts to higher-conviction setups.
🔧 Fully Customizable — every component is exposed: pivot period and zone-history depth, minimum pivot tests, close-vs-wick break confirmation, the two breakout engines toggle each independently, zone band width, the 0–10 strength gate and Only-Strong filter, ATR length, the structural-stop buffer with risk cap/floor, the three R targets, level-shelf length and Max Zone Width, the HTF alignment filter, the signal cooldown, plus all dashboard, label, theme, and zone-shading options.
🎯 Why this is different — most breakout tools fire the instant price pokes past a line and treat every signal the same, which is exactly how they get chewed up by fakeouts. This one requires a level the market has genuinely tested, or a real break of market structure, classifies it as BOS or CHoCH, demands momentum / range / volume confirmation, anchors the stop to the structure that actually broke, then layers an objective 0–10 ranking and a live, on-chart statistics panel on top — so you are tuning and judging the system on real, current data instead of a marketing figure.
🚀 Where to use it — momentum and trend-developing markets across Forex, Gold XAUUSD, indices, and crypto, on intraday and swing timeframes M10/M15/M30/H1 and up. The ATR-based stop and R targets adapt to each asset's volatility automatically.
🎯 How to trade it
Apply it to a market that produces real breakouts and let the dashboard populate. Read the live win rate, profit factor, and average R for your symbol and timeframe before committing — if the logic doesn't suit that market, you'll see it.
Keep the HTF Trend Alignment filter on so you only take breakouts in the direction of the larger trend.
Wait for a STRONG LONG / STRONG SHORT BREAKOUT label — it marks a confirmed break of a tested zone or structure, with the BOS / CHoCH tag, star score, and Entry, SL, and TP1/2/3 already plotted.
Manage the trade with the plotted levels: a common approach is to take partial profit at TP1 1R, move the stop toward breakeven, and let the rest run to TP2/TP3. The structural SL defines your risk on the trade.
Use Minimum Pivot Tests and Minimum Strength to set your style — stricter for fewer, cleaner breakouts; looser for more activity — and use the star score and Only-Strong gate to focus on the cleanest setups.
⚠️ Important — this is a decision-support tool, not a standalone buy/sell system, and it makes no performance guarantees. Default settings were chosen on historical data and behavior will vary by symbol, timeframe, and configuration; the dashboard's statistics are historical and descriptive, not a forecast. The first target is a genuine 1R and the stop is structural by design no inflated win-rate geometry, which means reward-to-risk and position sizing matter as much as hit rate. Pivot-based zones confirm after the pivot lookback inherent pivot lag, so always wait for the labeled signal on a closed bar.

0.75% Rule - Trade ProjectionA position-sizing and reward-projection overlay for discretionary traders.
You place an entry and a stop on the chart, and the script returns the
position size that risks a fixed fraction of your account, then projects
your reward targets as R-multiples. Direction (long or short) is inferred
from where you click. The focus is getting currency-correct sizing right
with as little input as possible, and catching the sizing mistakes that
quietly distort risk.
📊 What it does
- Sizes the trade so the entry-to-stop distance equals a fixed percentage
of account equity. Default is 0.75%, a conservative fixed-fractional
risk rule, but the percentage is adjustable.
- Reports the result in the correct unit for the instrument: lots and
units for forex, or contracts/shares sized off point value elsewhere.
- Projects a configurable number of reward targets spaced in R-multiples
(1R, 2R, 3R ...), each labeled with its R-multiple and the reward amount
in your account currency.
- Draws the risk zone (entry to stop) and reward zones, plus an info panel
summarizing account, risk, direction, stop distance, size and R:R.
⚙️ How it works
- Risk amount = account size x risk %. Position size = risk amount /
(stop distance x point value x conversion rate). For forex this is
converted into standard lots.
- Direction is read from the two clicks: a stop below entry is a long,
a stop above entry is a short.
- Instrument detection is automatic (forex, JPY pairs, metals, index,
crypto) via symbol info, with a manual override if you need it.
- Account-to-quote currency conversion is explicit and manual. The
account-currency dropdown is a display label only; the single field
that adjusts lot size is the conversion rate. The panel flags the two
mistakes that actually distort risk: leaving the rate at 1.0 on a
mismatched pair, and applying a non-1.0 rate when the currencies match.
- An optional ATR-based stop can override the clicked stop (length and
multiplier adjustable). Direction still comes from your clicks.
- Repaint-free by construction: no higher-timeframe requests, entry and
stop are static prices, and all drawing is deterministic.
📋 How to use it
1. Add the script. It prompts you to click an entry price, then a stop.
2. Set account size and risk % in settings (default 0.75%).
3. If your account currency differs from the pair's quote currency, enter
the conversion rate (account currency per one unit of quote currency).
The panel warns you when a rate is needed.
4. Read position size, R:R and target levels from the panel and on-chart
labels.
5. For a new setup, open the indicator menu, choose Reset points, then
re-click entry and stop. The Re-arm toggle pauses the current
projection so a stale setup cannot mislead you.
## Notes
- This is a planning and risk-discipline tool, not a signal generator and
not financial advice. It does not place trades.
- For non-forex instruments, sanity-check the point value against your
broker's contract specs before trusting the size.
- Inputs are absolute prices, so after switching symbols you may need to
re-click entry and stop. The script detects an off-scale setup and
prompts you. Indicator
Strong Pullback Signals | ProjectSyndicateStrong Pullback Signals identifies high-probability trend-continuation entries by waiting for an established trend, a clean breakout, and then a pullback — and instead of chasing the bounce, it places the entry with a limit order into the pullback at a better price. Every setup is given a structural stop beyond the pullback swing and fixed R-based targets, ranked 0–10 with a star score, and tracked live on a full statistics dashboard so you can see how the logic behaves on the exact symbol and timeframe you trade.
🧠 Limit-Into-Pullback Entry Engine — the core idea. The indicator arms only after a real breakout in the direction of the trend, then works a limit order back into the pullback rather than entering at the close of a confirmation candle. You get filled at a better price on the retracement instead of paying up after the move has already resumed. Signals confirm on closed bars and do not repaint historically.
📈 Triple-EMA Trend Regime — a fast, slow, and pullback EMA define the trend and the retracement zone. A setup can only arm when price, the EMAs, and the EMA slope all agree, so entries are taken with the trend, not against it.
🎯 Structural Stop + R-Based Targets — the stop is placed just beyond the pullback's swing extreme with an ATR buffer, then capped and floored so it can never balloon into a "wide stop" or collapse into a meaningless one. TP1, TP2, and TP3 are set at clean R multiples (TP1 defaults to a full 1R — a real first target, not a clipped one). Every signal plots its complete Entry / SL / TP1 / TP2 / TP3 line set, labeled price levels, and filled green TP / red SL zone boxes, with a result label on exit.
🎚️ Adjustable Entry Depth — one input controls how deep into the pullback the limit sits. Deeper fills mean a better entry price and fewer trades; shallower fills mean more frequent entries. This is your main dial for trading conviction versus frequency.
🧭 HTF Trend Alignment Filter — an optional higher-timeframe EMA filter blocks counter-trend setups, keeping you on the dominant side of the market. RSI-direction and session (time-of-day) screens are also available for further filtering.
⭐ 0–10 Setup-Quality Score — every signal is scored and labeled with 1–5 stars and a tier (FORMING → ELITE) across HTF alignment, trend strength, entry depth, momentum, volume, and session. Treat the score as a confluence / cleanliness read for ranking and thinning setups — it describes how textbook a setup is, not a guaranteed outcome. A "Minimum Stars / Only Strong" gate lets you display and alert on stronger setups only while the dashboard keeps tracking every tier in the background.
📊 Live Statistics Dashboard — a non-intrusive panel tracks, in real time on your chart: current trend and setup status, the active trade, the last signal and its score, win rate, total trades, profit factor, average R per trade, best-performing direction, long vs short win rate, current and max win/loss streaks, and a TP1 / TP2 / TP3 / SL hit breakdown. These are computed live from the signals on your current symbol and timeframe — so you can judge the settings yourself rather than trusting a number printed in a description.
🎨 Clean Themed Visuals — four color themes, opaque labels anchored clear of price for unobstructed reading, and a compact level "ticket" that stays attached to each trade and snaps to the exit bar when it closes.
🔔 Detailed Alerts — fires on strong long / short entries, plus partial-TP, TP3, and SL events, including direction and score, formatted for manual or automated use. A minimum-stars setting can restrict alerts to higher-conviction setups.
🔧 Fully Customizable — every component is exposed: the three EMAs and slope, breakout lookback and body filter, cooldown, entry depth, structural-stop buffer with risk cap/floor, the three R targets, the HTF / RSI / session filters, the six score weights, and all dashboard, label, and theme options.
🎯 Why this is different — most pullback and reversal tools enter by chasing a confirmation candle and treat every signal the same. This one fixes the entry mechanics first (a limit into the pullback for a better fill, with a structural stop and honest R targets), then layers an objective 0–10 ranking and a live, on-chart statistics panel on top — so you are tuning and judging the system on real, current data instead of a marketing figure.
🚀 Where to use it — trend-following markets across Forex, Gold (XAUUSD), indices, and crypto, on intraday and swing timeframes (M10/M15/M30/H1 and up). The ATR-based stop and R targets adapt to each asset's volatility automatically.
🎯 How to trade it
Apply it to a market that actually trends and let the dashboard populate. Read the live win rate, profit factor, and average R for your symbol and timeframe before committing — if the logic doesn't suit that market, you'll see it.
Keep the HTF Trend Alignment filter on so you only take pullbacks in the direction of the larger trend.
Wait for a STRONG LONG / STRONG SHORT label — that marks a filled limit entry into a pullback, with Entry, SL, and TP1/2/3 already plotted.
Manage the trade with the plotted levels: a common approach is to take partial profit at TP1 (1R), move the stop toward breakeven, and let the rest run to TP2/TP3. The structural SL defines your risk on the trade.
Use Entry Depth to set your style — deeper for fewer, higher-quality fills; shallower for more activity — and use the star score and Minimum-Stars gate to focus on the cleaner setups.
⚠️ Important — this is a decision-support tool, not a standalone buy/sell system, and it makes no performance guarantees. Default settings were chosen on historical data and behavior will vary by symbol, timeframe, and configuration; the dashboard's statistics are historical and descriptive, not a forecast. The first target is a genuine 1R and the stop is structural by design (no inflated win-rate geometry), which means reward-to-risk and position sizing matter as much as hit rate. Always combine it with your own analysis and risk management, and test it on your market before trading it live. Indicator
Momentum Candle Sekolah TradingMomentum Candle Sekolah Trading
Overview
Momentum Candle is a technical indicator designed to detect strong momentum candles based on body size and wick ratio validation. It is built to help traders quickly identify whether a candle represents genuine bullish or bearish momentum, or merely noise — across multiple forex pairs and BTCUSD.
This indicator is an evolution of the previous Momentum Candle v3, with significant improvements including multi-pair support, EMA trend filter, consolidation validation, dual signal modes, and a time-based alert system.
How It Works
The indicator evaluates each candle using two core criteria:
Minimum Body Size — The candle body (|close − open|) must meet or exceed a user-defined minimum size (in pips), configured separately for each pair and each timeframe (M5, M15, M30).
Wick Ratio — The total wick length must not exceed a configurable percentage of the total candle range (body + wick). Default is 30%, meaning candles with excessive wicks are filtered out.
Signal Modes
Two signal modes are available via the "Mode Candle" input:
Agresif (Aggressive): A signal is generated when the body is large enough and the wick ratio is acceptable, regardless of wick direction. Suitable for traders who want more frequent signals.
Konservatif (Conservative): Adds an additional directional wick check — bullish signals require the lower wick to be smaller than the upper wick, and vice versa for bearish. This reduces noise and false signals.
Alert Modes
Two alert timing modes are available via the "Mode Alert" input:
Agresif: Alert fires immediately every bar when the signal condition is met.
Konservatif: Alert fires only in the 20–90 second window before candle close, reducing premature alerts caused by candles that may still change before closing.
Consolidation Validation (Optional)
When enabled, the indicator checks that the N previous candles (configurable, default 3) are each smaller in body size than the current signal candle. This helps confirm the signal appears after a period of lower volatility, adding context to the momentum reading.
EMA Trend Filter (Optional)
An EMA trend filter can be activated to restrict signals to the direction of the prevailing trend:
Bullish signals only appear when price is above the EMA.
Bearish signals only appear when price is below the EMA.
The EMA timeframe (M5, M15, M30, H1) and period are fully configurable. Recommended: M5=21, M15=50, M30=50, H1=100.
A live trend label (table, top-right) shows the current EMA trend direction.
Supported Pairs and Timeframes
Each pair can be enabled or disabled independently. Minimum body size is configurable per pair and per timeframe:

🔴 Red triangle (above bar): Bearish momentum signal
How to Use
Select your pair and enable it in the "Aktifkan Pair" section.
Adjust the minimum body size for your preferred timeframe.
Set the wick ratio threshold (default 30% is recommended as a starting point).
Choose between Aggressive or Conservative mode depending on your trading style.
Optionally enable the EMA filter for trend-confirmed signals only.
Optionally enable consolidation validation for breakout-style confirmation.
Set up alerts using the built-in alert conditions for both bullish and bearish, in either Aggressive or Conservative alert mode.
Important Notes
This indicator is a tool for technical analysis only. It does not guarantee trading results.
It is strongly recommended to combine this indicator with price action context, support/resistance levels, and proper risk management.
Past signal performance does not guarantee future results.
This script does not use security() with lookahead to access future data. The EMA from a higher timeframe uses barmerge.lookahead_off to prevent repainting.
This script does not use Heikin Ashi or non-standard chart types. It is designed for standard candlestick charts. Indicator
Liquidity Magnet ICT Liquidity & Sweeps [LunqFX]Liquidity Magnet is an ICT / Smart Money Concepts (SMC) liquidity indicator that maps buy-side and sell-side liquidity (BSL / SSL) and ranks every liquidity pool by how likely it is to be swept next. Instead of just drawing equal highs, equal lows and swing liquidity, it scores each resting pool of liquidity with a transparent 0–100 "Magnet Score" and highlights the single strongest draw on price as the NEXT TARGET — so you can anticipate the next liquidity sweep, stop hunt or liquidity grab before it happens.
If you trade ICT concepts, order flow, smart money, or supply and demand, this tool answers the one question every liquidity-based strategy needs: where is price most likely to go to take liquidity next?
WHAT IT DOES
• Detects liquidity pools automatically — swing highs / lows and equal highs / equal lows (EQH / EQL) where stop-losses cluster.
• Scores each pool 0–100 with the Magnet Score, a transparent weighted formula.
• Flags the strongest pool as the NEXT TARGET with a live arrow, price and probability.
• Marks pools as swept the moment price closes through them, then fades them.
• Shows a clean live dashboard: next target, probability, distance, bias and pool counts.
• Recolors the chart with neon gradient candles (turquoise bullish / violet bearish).
HOW THE MAGNET SCORE WORKS
The Magnet Score is fully transparent — no black box. Each unswept pool is graded on four weighted factors:
1. Proximity — how close the pool sits to current price (closer pulls harder).
2. Momentum — whether current momentum is moving toward the pool.
3. Age — how long the pool has rested untouched (older pools hold more liquidity).
4. Touches — how many times price has tagged the level (more taps = more stops stacked).
The four factors are combined into a single 0–100 score. The pool with the highest score, within a maximum distance from price, becomes the NEXT TARGET. If no pool is strong or close enough, the panel honestly reports "No clear magnet" instead of inventing a far-away target.
HOW TO USE IT
1. Read the BIAS in the panel — BUY-SIDE PULL means liquidity above is the draw (look for longs into the target); SELL-SIDE PULL means liquidity below is the draw (look for shorts).
2. Find the NEXT TARGET — the highlighted pool is where price is most likely to sweep liquidity next. Use it as a logical take-profit / objective.
3. Check the PROBABILITY bar — higher score = stronger magnet. Weak scores mean price is in a low-liquidity void; be patient.
4. Watch DISTANCE — how far the target is in %. Tight distance = an immediate objective; large distance = a swing objective.
5. Trade the sweep — as price reaches a pool and sweeps it, watch for the reaction. Swept pools fade automatically so the chart always shows live, unmitigated liquidity only.
Tip: combine the NEXT TARGET with your own entry model (FVG, order block, market structure). Liquidity Magnet tells you WHERE liquidity sits and which pool is the draw — you choose the entry.
THE DASHBOARD
• NEXT TARGET — price of the strongest liquidity pool and its probability.
• Probability bar — visual 0–100 strength of the current magnet.
• Distance — % distance from price to the target.
• Touches — how many times the target level was tested.
• Bias — overall liquidity pull (buy-side vs sell-side).
• Buy-side / Sell-side pools — count of active unmitigated pools on each side.
NON-REPAINTING
All liquidity pools are built from confirmed pivots (a fixed lookback of closed bars), and every sweep is confirmed on closed bars only — barstate.isconfirmed. Scores and visuals are display-side and never rewrite history. No request.security, no lookahead, no future leak. What you see is what actually happened.
SETTINGS
Liquidity Engine
• Swing length — pivot lookback; higher = only major swings become pools.
• Equal-level tolerance — how close two highs/lows must be (in ATR) to merge into one pool and count as a touch.
• Max pools per side — cap on active pools above and below.
• Max pool age — pools older than this are removed.
Magnet Score
• Proximity range, Momentum lookback / range — sensitivity of the score factors.
• Weights: proximity / age / touches / momentum — fully customizable scoring.
• Min score to flag target — hide weak magnets below this score.
• Max target distance % — a pool farther than this can never be the NEXT TARGET.
Neon Candles
• Neon gradient candles on/off, Glow halo on/off.
Panel
• Show panel, position, background / text / accent colors.
BEST USED ON
Forex, Gold (XAUUSD), indices, crypto and stocks. Works on all timeframes; intraday (15m–4H) is ideal for liquidity sweeps, higher timeframes for swing objectives.
