VASA Multi-Timeframe Rating vFStop flipping between charts to check whether the higher timeframes agree. This puts three timeframes in one small table on your chart. For each one it reads trend (fast EMA vs slow EMA) and momentum (RSI above or below 50), then sums them into a plain rating: Bull, Lean bull, Mixed, Lean bear, or Bear.
What it does: • Three configurable timeframes (default 15m / 1h / 4h) • Trend and momentum column per timeframe • A fused rating cell, colour-coded • Reads higher timeframes without repainting — on the live bar it uses the last closed higher-TF bar, so the table doesn't flicker intrabar
How to use: look for agreement. When all three lean the same way, you're trading with the broader context instead of against it. When they disagree ("Mixed"), that's your signal to size down or stand aside. Change the three timeframes to match how you actually trade — a scalper might run 1m/5m/15m, a swing trader 1h/4h/1D.

CORTEX MULTI-TIMEFRAME POI ENGINE# CORTEX MULTI-TIMEFRAME POI ENGINE
The CORTEX MULTI-TIMEFRAME POI ENGINE is a rules-based PulseWire indicator designed to identify, qualify, and manage supply-and-demand Points of Interest across multiple structural timeframes.
Rather than marking every pivot, opposing candle, or conventional order block, CORTEX applies a structured qualification process built around confirmed market structure, consolidation quality, displacement, retracement depth, imbalance, liquidity proxies, and breaker-block behavior.
## Multi-Timeframe Market Structure
CORTEX organizes market location into three distinct layers:
- **Daily POIs** establish higher-timeframe macro location.
- **H4 POIs** identify intermediate structural areas.
- **M15 and M5 AM-session POIs** support intraday refinement on NQ and ES.
Daily, H4, M15, and M5 layers are independently controlled, allowing traders to reduce chart clutter and focus only on the context relevant to their current workflow.
## POI Qualification
A standard CORTEX POI progresses through an objective detection pipeline:
1. Meaningful retracement
2. Compressed base formation
3. Institutional Footprint Candle refinement
4. Directional displacement
5. Mandatory break of structure
6. Liquidity and imbalance evaluation
7. Width and location validation
8. Transparent quality scoring
9. Confirmed zone creation
Break of structure is mandatory. Additional characteristics contribute to a configurable quality score rather than relying on unexplained probability claims.
Available qualification modes include:
- **Loose** for broader structural identification
- **Balanced** for the recommended combination of quality and frequency
- **Strict** for selective, higher-confluence zones
- **Custom** for complete user control
## Breaker-Block Fusion
The engine includes an independently developed ICT breaker-block module.
A potential order block becomes a breaker only after a later confirmed candle closes through its opposite boundary. Wick-only violations do not qualify.
Breaker blocks may:
- Create standalone breaker POIs
- Add confluence to existing supply or demand zones
- Merge with overlapping, same-direction POIs
- Refine the final area to the valid price intersection
- Increase the zone’s score without exceeding 100
Merged areas are classified as **Breaker-Confluent POIs**, helping distinguish ordinary structural zones from areas supported by a confirmed failed-block transition.
## CORTEX AM Session POI Layer
The intraday module is designed specifically for NQ and ES during the default **08:00–11:00 America/New_York** session.
It provides:
- M15 POIs on M15 and M5 charts
- M5 POIs on M5 charts
- Automatic daylight-saving adjustment
- Automatic NQ and ES futures-root recognition
- Optional manual instrument override
- Confirmed post-session BOS allowance
- Independent demand, supply, timeframe, and display controls
Mandatory default width limits are:
- **NQ: 250 ticks**
- **ES: 40 ticks**
Zone width is calculated using the instrument’s native minimum tick size. Candidates exceeding the applicable limit are rejected before publication.
## Transparent Scoring
Each POI receives an objective score from 0 to 100. Depending on the selected mode and timeframe, the score may incorporate:
- Confirmed BOS
- Base quality
- Retracement depth
- Departure strength
- Liquidity sweep
- Fair-value gap or imbalance
- Resting-liquidity proxy
- Breaker-block confluence
Scores and classifications can be displayed directly on zone labels and in the Data Window.
## Zone Lifecycle Management
Every confirmed POI is actively managed through the following lifecycle:
- **Fresh**
- **Tested**
- **Mitigated**
- **Invalidated**
- **Expired**
Users can configure mitigation and invalidation behavior, retain invalidated zones for historical review, and control how long intraday zones remain available.
## Non-Repainting Design
CORTEX uses confirmed source-timeframe information for zone creation.
Higher-timeframe results are transported using confirmed historical offsets, preventing unfinished Daily, H4, M15, or M5 candles from publishing premature zones. A confirmed POI may be anchored to its original footprint candle, but it does not become logically active before its qualifying structure is complete.
This deliberate confirmation delay is intended to support stable behavior across:
- Historical charts
- Realtime execution
- PulseWire Bar Replay
## Diagnostics and Alerts
The CORTEX diagnostics dashboard reports:
- Latest qualification stage
- Signals detected
- Candidates awaiting BOS
- Width-filter rejections
- Breaker flips
- Zones retained
- Session status
- Detected instrument
- Applicable tick limit
- Chart-timeframe compatibility
Alerts are available for new POIs, breaker zones, confluence, first tests, mitigation, and invalidation. Alerts should be configured for **Once Per Bar Close**.
## Intended Workflow
CORTEX is designed to support a top-down process:
1. Use Daily zones to establish macro location.
2. Use H4 zones to refine structural context.
3. Use M15 zones for intraday directional areas.
4. Use M5 zones for lower-timeframe refinement.
5. Evaluate price behavior at qualified zones rather than treating every zone as an automatic entry.
CORTEX does not claim to identify actual institutional orders. Supply, demand, liquidity, imbalance, and breaker classifications are objective technical proxies derived from price action.
This indicator is an analytical framework—not financial advice or a guarantee of future performance. Traders should combine it with appropriate confirmation, risk management, and independent judgment. Indicator
Nested FVG ProNested FVG Pro identifies a specific ICT confluence — a 1-minute Fair Value Gap forming inside an active 5-minute Fair Value Gap — and manages a complete multi-contract trade plan around each signal, with journalling that models how automated orders actually fill rather than assuming ideal prices.
HOW IT WORKS
5-minute context. The script aggregates 1-minute bars into rolling 5-minute candles and scans each completed triplet for a displacement gap: a bullish FVG (BISI) exists where the current candle's low sits above the high from two candles back; bearish (SIBI) is the mirror. Gaps must exceed a minimum size in points — set against your stop distance, so an imbalance smaller than meaningful displacement never becomes context. Qualifying zones are drawn and tracked.
Zone lifecycle. A zone is invalidated when price closes through its far side. Invalidated zones are not deleted immediately: they stop extending, dim, and remain on the chart for a configurable number of bars so past signals can be audited, and they are never removed while a trade is open. An active-zone cap per direction prevents stacking — in a sustained trend, zones pointing with the trend are never closed through, so without a cap they accumulate all session and progressively bias signal generation toward chasing the move.
Inversion mode (IFVG). A gap that price has closed through has failed. ICT treats the violated gap as flipped: a bullish FVG closed below becomes resistance, a bearish FVG closed above becomes support. In IFVG mode the invalidation event flips the zone's direction instead of retiring it, and signals are then taken as price returns into the zone from the other side. Inverted zones are colour-coded distinctly, expire on a configurable age, and retire permanently if closed through a second time. Signal Source selects virgin gaps, inverted gaps, or both.
1-minute trigger. On each confirmed 1-minute bar the script tests for a fresh 1-minute FVG using the same three-candle definition and its own minimum size. A signal fires only where that gap sits inside an eligible 5-minute zone of matching direction, within a proximity tolerance in points around the zone boundaries. The premise: a small-timeframe imbalance printing inside a larger unmitigated imbalance marks continuation pressure in the direction of the higher-timeframe displacement.
Signal gating. Cooldown between signals; a hardcoded one-trade-at-a-time block; an exchange-session filter; six independently configurable time windows with editable start and end times in a selectable timezone; and a daily loss limit in dollars that blocks new signals once reached. The daily reset and zone purge are driven by a change of CME trade date rather than a session-transition test, so they behave correctly regardless of whether bars print during the session gap.
Trade management. Each signal is managed as a ladder measured in points from the entry: a stop, a partial exit that optionally moves the stop to break-even, a main target, an extended target, and an optional fourth-contract runner target. All distances and per-level contract counts are inputs. A per-trade dollar maximum-loss exit closes the position on a confirmed bar if unrealised loss breaches the limit.
Optional entry laddering. Position size can be split across up to three legs — the signal bar's close, consequent encroachment (the 50% level of the 1-minute gap), and the gap's far edge — all sharing one structural stop, so each deeper leg risks fewer points than the one before. Fills are position-weighted and exit quantities are capped to what actually filled, so a trade that displaces immediately never sends exits for contracts it never bought. The trade-off is explicit: setups that run straight to target fill the smallest size while setups that retrace fill the largest.
Execution-modelled journalling — what makes this different. Most signal trackers book trades at exact level prices. In live automation, alerts fire once per bar close and fill as market orders, so real fills land at the trigger bar's close rather than at the level touched intrabar. This script separates plan levels, which drive the triggers, from booked fills, which drive the accounting: with fill booking enabled, every entry and exit in the Trade Tracker, Hourly and Weekly tables is recorded at the trigger bar's close plus a configurable per-fill slippage, and round-turn commissions are netted from every result. Levels can be anchored to the entry fill rather than the gap boundary, so a 20-point stop is 20 points from the price paid. Break-even moves to the position's weighted average fill, matching what a broker-side breakeven order does. The result is a journal that reconciles with a broker statement instead of an idealised one.
A/B variant lab. A read-only shadow journal replays every signal a second time under a different partial distance and break-even rule, reporting both policies side by side with the difference between them. It places no orders and never touches the live journal — it answers whether an exit-policy change would have helped on your own history rather than a hypothetical one.
MODES
Runner off: 3-contract exit ladder, flat at the extended target. Runner on: a 4th contract rides to the runner target.
Entry ladder off: one full-size entry. On: up to three scale-in legs sharing one stop.
Signal Source: FVG, IFVG, or Both.
A/B lab off by default.
AUTOMATION (OPTIONAL)
The script emits complete JSON webhook payloads for every event — entry with quantity, order type and an optional attached stop so a real protective order rests at the broker; partial with an optional broker-side breakeven action; break-even scratch; each target; stop; and emergency exit — with quantities computed from the position-sizing inputs. One alert with the condition "Any alert() function call" drives all of it. Manual traders can ignore this entirely and trade the on-chart levels.
HOW TO USE
Apply to a 1-minute chart — the script builds its own 5-minute context, and other chart timeframes will not behave correctly. Set your ladder distances and dollar-per-point for the instrument, choose your windows and timezone, set the minimum gap sizes and proximity in points relative to your stop, and set the daily and per-trade loss limits. Signals print as triangles with the full R/R ladder drawn to the right; the Trade Tracker logs every signal's outcome net of modelled costs.
LIMITATIONS & NOTES
Outcome detection is evaluated on confirmed bars; live automated fills are bar-close market orders, which is precisely what the execution-modelled tables account for.
The analytics model execution. A broker statement remains the ground truth.
All distances are in points and are calibrated per instrument. Moving between instruments of different volatility requires rescaling every point input.
Entry laddering requires add-to-position support in your webhook platform.
This is a technical analysis and automation tool, not financial advice. Past behaviour of any configuration does not guarantee future results. Test on simulated accounts before risking capital.
The source is open — read it, fork it, adapt it. If you change the detection or the accounting, the tables will tell you what the change did.
Indicator
FIE Price Action OverlayFIE (Frequency • Influence • Efficiency) Price Action
FIE is a market analysis framework that measures the quality of agreement between multiple stochastic components and MACD and their respective influence on price action. FIE is designed as an educational decision-support tool for traders who want to evaluate not just whether indicators agree, but how much confidence that agreement deserves.
Instead of treating every component equally, FIE evaluates each component according to three characteristics:
Frequency – How consistently the component aligns with price.
Influence – How much price movement occurs while it is aligned.
Efficiency – A weighted measure that combines consistency and impact.
These measurements are then used to determine each component's relative contribution to the current market move through Share Participation and Normalized Efficiency.
The result is a real-time view of which components are driving the current price action, how much they contribute, and how strongly they agree.
FIE helps distinguish between:
Broad market agreement.
Moves driven primarily by a single component.
Weak participation behind price.
High-confidence confluence where multiple components align with meaningful participation.
The integrated dashboard summarizes each component's contribution, efficiency, participation, and agreement, allowing traders to evaluate the strength and quality of a setup at a glance.
Features
- Frequency, Influence, and Efficiency analysis
- Component Share Participation
- Normalized Efficiency (E-Norm)
- Active Average calculations
- Multi-component confluence analysis
- Confidence and participation dashboard
- High-confluence ("Consensus Signal") identification
- Extensive customization and threshold controls
- Optional Entry signals and crossover levels
- 'Enhanced Candles' to further highlight component/price behaviour

Multi-Timeframe Squeeze Board LiteWhat it shows
Multi-Timeframe Squeeze Board — Lite answers one question at a glance: "Where is this symbol compressed, and which way is momentum leaning, on every timeframe that matters?" For the chart's symbol it displays a compact table with one row per timeframe — 15m, 1h, 4h, Daily, Weekly — and two readings per row:
- Sqz — the TTM Squeeze compression state as a colored dot, using the standard three-level cascade: orange = high squeeze (deepest compression), red = mid squeeze, black = low squeeze, green = no squeeze (volatility released / normal).
- Mom — the squeeze momentum oscillator as a colored arrow using the classic 4-color scheme: aqua = positive and rising, blue = positive but falling, yellow = negative but rising, red = negative and falling. The arrow points up when momentum is increasing bar-over-bar and down when it is decreasing.
A stacked squeeze (orange/red dots on several adjacent timeframes) marks a market coiling across horizons; the momentum colors tell you which side the pressure is building on.
How it works
Each row runs the full TTM Squeeze calculation on its own timeframe via request.security() with lookahead = barmerge.lookahead_off (no future data, ever):
1. Bollinger Bands: SMA(close, 20) basis, 2.0 × population standard deviation.
2. Keltner Channels: the same SMA(close, 20) basis, with band width = SMA of True Range over 20 bars (simple average of TR — not Wilder's ATR) at three multipliers: 1.0, 1.5, 2.0.
3. A squeeze is on when the Bollinger Bands sit fully inside the Keltner Channel on both sides. The narrower the Keltner band that still contains the BB, the deeper the compression — hence the 1.0-multiplier band defines the high squeeze, 1.5 the mid, 2.0 the low.
4. Momentum is the linear regression of price's deviation from the average of the Donchian midline and the SMA, over the same 20 bars.
By default the board evaluates confirmed bars only: every row shows the last fully closed bar of its timeframe, so a dot or arrow never changes after it appears. See Limitations for the tradeoff.
Inputs
- Squeeze length — lookback for BB, KC and momentum (default 20, the canonical TTM setting).
- Confirmed HTF bars only — ON (default): stable, non-repainting readings that lag up to one bar of each row's timeframe. OFF: rows track the still-forming higher-timeframe bar — more current, but the reading can flip until that bar closes.
- Table position / Table size — where the board sits and how large it renders.
How to use it
Apply it to a 15m chart (or lower) so all five rows populate. Scan the Sqz column top-to-bottom: multiple orange/red dots stacked across timeframes indicate multi-horizon compression — historically the precondition for expansion moves. Then read the Mom column for directional lean while the compression resolves. The board is a context tool: it tells you where energy is stored, not when or in which direction it must release.
Limitations — please read
- Confirmed-bar lag: with the default non-repainting mode, the Weekly row updates once per week, the Daily row once per day, etc. That is the honest cost of stability. Turning the toggle off shows the live forming bar instead, and those readings can change until the bar closes.
- Rows below the chart's timeframe show "–": Pine's request.security() cannot reliably reconstruct lower-timeframe series, so instead of showing a possibly wrong dot the board declines to show one. Use a 15m chart to see everything.
- A squeeze has no direction. Compression means stored energy, not a buy or sell signal. The momentum color is a lean, not a prediction.
- Warm-up: each timeframe needs about 20 bars of history before its row populates (shown as "·" until then).
This board covers one symbol — the chart's.

RPFXBYDAN - Untouched Session Liquidity - Asia / London / NYRPFXBYDAN - Untouched Session Liquidity — Asia / London / NY
**What this script does**
This indicator marks the high and low of each Asia, London, and New York trading session and projects those two levels forward as horizontal lines. Unlike a standard session-range indicator that leaves every past level on the chart, this one automatically deletes any level the moment price reaches it. The result is a running inventory of the recent session highs and lows that price has NOT yet run — the liquidity that is still "live" on the chart.
By default the script keeps the ten most recent sessions per region so you can see whether the current market is respecting, sweeping, or ignoring older session extremes.
**Why session highs and lows matter**
Session highs and lows tend to attract price because they collect a predictable pool of stop-loss orders — protective stops from participants who entered inside the previous session's range. Price often gravitates toward these levels, sweeps the liquidity, and reverses. Knowing which specific levels are still untaken (versus already mitigated) is more actionable than seeing every historical level indiscriminately, because only untaken levels still hold that liquidity.
**How the script works, step by step**
1. On every bar, the script checks whether the bar falls inside the Asia, London, or New York session window, using Pine's timezone-aware time function so detection is correct on any chart regardless of the user's timezone settings.
2. While a session is active, it tracks the running high and low and remembers the bar index at which each was set.
3. The instant a session closes (the first bar the session check flips from true to false), it draws two horizontal lines anchored at those bar indexes — one at the session high, one at the session low — with a text label naming the region.
4. Each new line and label is pushed onto a per-region array. If the array now holds more than the configured lookback count (default ten), the oldest entry is shifted off and deleted.
5. On every subsequent bar, the script walks the array of active lines and compares the current candle's high to each high level and the current candle's low to each low level. Any line whose level has been reached is deleted along with its label. Any line not yet touched has its right edge advanced so the projection stays anchored to the current bar.
The touch check is the mechanism that keeps the chart focused only on liquidity that hasn't been taken yet — it's what differentiates this from a normal "show previous session range" indicator.
**Timezone handling**
The default Auto mode detects each session in its own home timezone: Asia in Tokyo time, London in London time, and New York in New York time. Because Pine's time function accepts a timezone argument, the detection is correct regardless of what timezone your chart is set to, and daylight saving transitions are handled automatically. If you'd rather have all three sessions interpreted in one specific timezone (for example, always in your local one), the location dropdown lets you select from a menu of common cities and UTC offsets, and the session windows will be read in that timezone instead.
**Inputs**
- Your Location / Timezone — Auto (recommended) or a specific city / UTC offset
- Asia, London, New York Session windows — defaults calibrated to each session's home clock time
- Sessions to Keep — how many recent sessions per region to display (default 10)
- Colors per region, line width, line style, right-extension length, label toggle
**How to use it**
Add the indicator to a 5-minute, 15-minute, 30-minute, or 1-hour chart of any symbol. Give the chart a few days of history to load so the script can walk through session closes and populate the levels. Watch how price interacts with the untaken lines — a clean sweep of an old session high can precede a reversal, while price trading through a level without pausing suggests continuation. Because touched levels are removed automatically, whatever remains on the chart at any moment is the current "menu" of session liquidity worth watching.
Works on any instrument, though it's most useful on FX pairs, index futures, and crypto where session structure is meaningful. Higher timeframes (4H+) compress sessions into a single bar and reduce the value of the lines.
**Notes**
Session detection uses each session's home timezone in Auto mode; in manual mode you select a single timezone that applies to all three. Both modes automatically handle daylight saving. Indicator
RPFXBYDAN - Multi-Session Range & Pre-Market Highlighter# Multi-Session Range & Pre-Market Highlighter
An educational visualization tool that automatically highlights three key intraday time windows for the New York, London, or Tokyo sessions: a pre-market window ahead of the exchange open, a short opening range around the open, and the regular trading session that follows. Designed to help chart readers see how price behaves across these fixed time blocks each day.
This script does not generate trade advice, does not predict future price movement, and does not backtest a strategy. It is a visualization overlay that draws boxes and reference levels based purely on session time and the price action of the current chart.
## What It Displays
The indicator identifies and marks three distinct intraday windows in the timezone of the selected market:
1. **Pre-Market Window** — A short block of time ahead of the exchange open. By default this is a 15-minute window starting 1.5 hours before the trading session begins. The high and low across this window are recorded and drawn as a translucent box with optional dashed reference lines.
2. **Opening Range Window** — The 15 minutes immediately before the regular trading session begins. During this window, the indicator records the highest high and lowest low. When the window ends, those two prices are locked and drawn as horizontal reference levels for the rest of the day.
3. **Trading Session** — The regular exchange hours. During this window, the indicator continues to display the locked reference levels from the opening range and observes when price crosses above the upper level or below the lower level. Cross events are marked on the chart with small directional markers.
All three windows reset automatically at the start of each new trading day.
## How Reference Levels Are Formed
For each new trading day, the indicator tracks the highest high and lowest low of every bar within the opening range window. When the window closes, these two prices become that day's fixed reference levels. They remain drawn on the chart through the rest of the session so the viewer can see the day's early range relative to subsequent price action.
The pre-market window works the same way independently — its own high and low are recorded and shown, giving context for how the market moved into the open.
## Cross Events
Once the opening range levels are locked and the trading session is open, the indicator observes when the current bar crosses above the upper reference level or below the lower reference level. The trigger can be configured to any of the following:
- **Close** — Requires a bar to close beyond the level.
- **High / Low** — Any intrabar high or low print beyond the level triggers.
An optional **retest confirmation** filter can also be enabled: after an initial cross, a return to the level and a re-cross in the same direction is required before the event is marked. A limit of one event per direction per day can also be enabled to keep the chart clean.
Cross events are informational only — they mark where price interacted with the reference level. They are not trade signals and do not constitute a recommendation to buy, sell, hold, or take any action.
## Built-in Session Presets
Selecting a Market applies the standard hours for that exchange, evaluated in the exchange's own timezone (so it works correctly regardless of your chart's timezone):
- **New York (NYSE/NASDAQ)** — Opening Range 09:15-09:30, Trading 09:30-16:00 America/New_York
- **London (LSE)** — Opening Range 07:45-08:00, Trading 08:00-16:30 Europe/London
- **Tokyo (TSE)** — Opening Range 08:45-09:00, Trading 09:00-15:00 Asia/Tokyo
Every default can be overridden with custom session strings for non-standard schedules (half-days, futures pit hours, FX-overlap windows, etc.).
## Settings
- **Market & Sessions** — Market selector, "Use Market Defaults" toggle, custom Opening Range and Trading Session strings, and a fine-grained Opening-Range Start Offset control that nudges only the OR start time in 1-minute steps.
- **Your Local Timezone** — Display-only. Controls the timezone shown in the local column of the info table. Does not affect any calculations.
- **Signal Logic** — (This group controls the cross-event trigger.) Choose trigger source (Close vs High/Low), enable the retest filter, set the retest window, and toggle the one-event-per-side-per-day cap.
- **Pre-Market Marker** — Enable/disable, minutes before exchange open, window length, and style controls.
- **Visuals** — Toggles and color/width controls for the opening range box, reference lines, midline, on-chart markers, and info table.
## Info Panel
An optional info panel in the top-right corner of the chart shows the selected market, both timezones, and the resolved time window for each of the three windows in both the exchange timezone and your local timezone.
## Alerts
The indicator provides three alert conditions:
- **Range High Break** — Fires when price crosses above the locked upper reference level (after the OR window has closed).
- **Range Low Break** — Fires when price crosses below the locked lower reference level (after the OR window has closed).
- **Opening Range Locked** — Fires at the moment the opening range window ends and the reference levels are finalized for the day.
## Timeframes and Instruments
The indicator is designed for intraday timeframes (1-minute through 15-minute typically works best). It is compatible with any instrument that has intraday data, including stocks, futures, indices, forex, and crypto. Non-standard trading hours can be handled by disabling defaults and typing custom session strings.
## Educational Notes on the Opening Range Concept
The opening range is a well-known chart-reading concept: the high and low of a fixed early portion of the trading day. Many chart readers use these levels as visual reference points for evaluating subsequent price action. This indicator does not endorse or recommend any particular way of using them — it simply draws the levels consistently and lets the viewer study them.

Ultimate Matrix HUD v8🎯 Ultimate Matrix HUD — Multi-Symbol Direction + Sector Rotation Dashboard
What it is: An all-in-one heads-up display that answers three questions at a glance — Which way is my stock going? How much conviction is behind it? And is the money flowing into its sector? It scans up to 6 tickers of your choice plus ranks all 11 market sectors, right on your chart. Built for desktop and phone.
📊 What You're Looking At
The HUD has two panels:
1️⃣ Watchlist Panel — your 6 chosen tickers, one row each:
Column Meaning
TICKER The symbol being scanned
BIAS Direction + conviction: 🟢 LONG / 🔴 SHORT (strong, ≥70%), 🟡 WEAK L/S (building, 40–69%), ⚪ NEUTRAL
REGIME Market character: ⚡ DAY (volatile/intraday), 🌊 SWING (calm/trending), ➖ RANGE (chop)
TREND A mini score-history sparkline (▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█) with an arrow — ↗ = conviction strengthening, → = flat/fading
SECTOR The ticker's sector, its live rotation quadrant color, and rank (e.g. Tech 🟢#2)
2️⃣ Sector Rotation Panel — all 11 sectors ranked by relative strength:
Column Meaning
SECTOR Short label (Tech, Fin, Enrgy, Hlth, etc.)
QUADRANT 🟢 Leading, 🟡 Weakening, 🔴 Lagging, 🔵 Improving
STR/MOM The two RRG axes — Strength / Momentum
RANK Position 1–11, with 🥇🥈🥉 for the top three
🧠 How the Bias Score Works
Each ticker is graded 0–100% on four pillars:
Macro Trend (40 pts) — Higher-timeframe EMA structure (fast vs slow) confirms the big-picture direction.
Momentum (30 pts) — RSI in the healthy trend zone (not overextended).
Volume Confirmation (30 pts) — A volume spike in the direction of the move = real participation.
A score of ≥70% lights up 🟢 LONG or 🔴 SHORT. Between 40–69% it's a building 🟡 WEAK signal. Below that, ⚪ NEUTRAL.
🔄 How Sector Rotation Works (RRG Model)
Every sector is measured against a benchmark (default SPY, fully customizable) on two axes:
Strength — is it outperforming the benchmark over the long window?
Momentum — is that outperformance accelerating or fading?
Those two combine into the classic Relative Rotation Graph quadrants:
Quadrant Meaning Play
🟢 Leading Strong and accelerating Prime hunting ground for longs
🟡 Weakening Strong but losing steam Take profits / tighten stops
🔴 Lagging Weak and still falling Avoid longs / short candidates
🔵 Improving Weak but turning up Early rotation — watchlist for entries
Money typically rotates clockwise: Improving → Leading → Weakening → Lagging.
The STR/MOM column shows the two raw axes (e.g. 3.2 / 1.1 = outperforming and accelerating). Classic rotation flow is clockwise: Improving → Leading → Weakening → Lagging.
✅ The A+ Setup — Reading a Row in One Glance
The whole point is confluence. Your strongest trade lines up all three:
text
Copy
🟢 LONG (100%) + ▇█ ↗ + Tech 🟢#1
direction conviction money flow
That's a strong signal, still strengthening, in the #1 leading sector. Conversely, a 🟢 LONG whose sector reads 🔴#10 is a red flag — you'd be fighting the rotation.
⚙️ Setup (One-Time, ~2 Minutes)
Watchlist: Enter your 6 tickers and pick each one's sector from the dropdown. Set crypto/forex to None (their sector tag will show —).
Benchmark: Default SPY. Swap to QQQ (tech-relative), IWM (small-cap), or any symbol.
Mode: Choose Watchlist, Sector Rotation, or Both.
Display: Position, text size, transparency, colors, borders, and toggle any column on/off.
⚠️ Sector assignment is manual — Pine Script can't reliably auto-detect a stock's sector for scanned symbols. It's a 30-second, one-time setup and gives you 100% accurate, self-controlled tagging.
🔔 Discord Alerts (Optional)
The HUD can push formatted alerts to Discord on two events:

VWAP Choppy Market Detector [TradingFinder] Trend Range🔵 Introduction
Markets are not always clean. Sometimes price moves with a clear bullish or bearish direction, sometimes it stays inside a range, and sometimes it keeps shifting back and forth with no reliable structure. This indicator uses VWAP-based bands to make these market conditions easier to read directly on the chart, showing trend, range, and choppy price action through simple visual zones.
In trending markets, the bands remain more stable and highlight the dominant side of the market. Green zones show bullish pressure, while red zones show bearish pressure. When price moves sideways, the indicator marks the range area with purple zones and shows the Range High and Range Low, making the upper and lower limits of the consolidation easier to follow.
The choppy market signal comes from the behavior of the colors themselves. When the chart keeps changing between bullish, bearish, and range states, it reflects unstable price action, frequent market behavior shifts, and chaotic volatility. This makes the indicator useful for reading when the market has a clean direction, when it is trapped inside a range, and when price movement becomes too noisy or uncertain.
🔵 How to Use
Start by looking at the overall color behavior on the chart. The main purpose of this indicator is to show the current market environment through VWAP-based bands, so the first step is not to look for a single signal, but to understand the condition of the market. When the colors stay stable for a longer period, the market is usually showing a clearer structure. When the colors change repeatedly, the market is shifting between different states and price action is becoming less stable.
Green areas show bullish trend conditions. In this state, price is trading with stronger upward pressure and the market is moving with a clearer bullish bias. Traders can use this condition as a trend filter, a continuation filter, or a confirmation tool before looking for long setups with their own strategy. A stable green zone usually means the market is cleaner for bullish trend-following ideas compared to a market where the color keeps changing.
Red areas show bearish trend conditions. In this state, price is trading with stronger downward pressure and the market is moving with a clearer bearish bias. Traders can use this condition to filter short setups, confirm bearish continuation, or avoid taking long trades against the dominant market behavior. When the red zone remains stable, it shows that the bearish side of the market is more consistent.
Purple areas show range market conditions. In this state, price is moving inside a more limited structure instead of trending strongly in one direction. The upper and lower range boundaries can be used to understand where the market is consolidating. The upper boundary works as the Range High, while the lower boundary works as the Range Low. These levels help traders see the current sideways structure more clearly and follow how price reacts inside the range.
In a range market, traders can use the Range High and Range Low as visual reference levels. Price near the upper boundary may show that the market is testing the top of the range, while price near the lower boundary may show that the market is testing the bottom of the range. This can be useful for range analysis, mean-reversion setups, support and resistance reading, and identifying where price is likely to react inside a consolidation area.
Choppy market behavior is read through frequent color changes. When the chart keeps switching between green, red, and purple, it shows that the market does not have a clean direction. This kind of behavior usually means price is unstable, market bias is changing quickly, and volatility is becoming chaotic. Instead of treating these color changes as random noise, they should be read as the main warning sign of a choppy market.
One of the most useful applications of this indicator is avoiding poor trading conditions. Many strategies perform well in clean trends but struggle when the market becomes choppy. If the colors change too often and price fails to hold a stable condition, traders can use that information to reduce exposure, wait for a clearer structure, avoid overtrading, or be more selective with entries.
The indicator can also be used as a trend-following filter. When the market remains green, traders can focus more on bullish setups. When the market remains red, traders can focus more on bearish setups. This does not mean every green area is a buy signal or every red area is a sell signal. It means the market condition is more aligned with that side, and traders can combine it with their own entry model, price action setup, support and resistance level, or risk management plan.
Another use case is range detection. When the indicator marks a purple range, traders can quickly see that price is no longer moving with strong directional pressure. This helps separate trending conditions from sideways conditions. Range detection can be useful for traders who use consolidation breakouts, range trading, mean reversion, liquidity sweeps, or support and resistance reactions.
The indicator can also help with breakout context. Before a breakout, price often spends time inside a range. By watching the Range High and Range Low, traders can better understand where the range is forming and where a breakout attempt is happening. If price leaves the purple range and the market shifts into a stable green or red condition, traders can use that as extra context that the market behavior has changed from consolidation to directional movement.
For choppy market analysis, the most important thing is the speed and frequency of the color changes. A few normal changes can happen during transitions, but repeated switching shows that the market is unstable. This can help traders recognize fake breakouts, messy pullbacks, weak trend conditions, and periods where price does not respect a clean structure.
The timeframe setting controls the VWAP anchor period. Daily mode is more suitable for short-term and intraday analysis. Weekly mode gives a broader view of the current week’s VWAP structure. Monthly mode provides a higher-timeframe view and can be useful for swing trading or larger market context. Traders can choose the anchor timeframe based on the way they trade and the amount of market structure they want to see.
The Band Multiplier controls the width of the main VWAP bands. A wider band gives a broader market structure, while a smaller band keeps the bands closer to price. This setting affects how the trend and volatility structure is displayed on the chart. Traders can use it to match the indicator with different symbols, sessions, and volatility conditions.
The Range Multiplier controls the sensitivity of the range detector. A lower value makes the range detection more sensitive, so range areas may appear more actively. A higher value makes the range detection more conservative, so the indicator becomes more selective when marking range conditions. This setting is useful because different markets do not move the same way; some symbols are naturally smoother, while others are more volatile and noisy.
The VWAP line can be shown or hidden depending on the trader’s preference. When enabled, it gives a direct view of the VWAP reference line inside the band structure. Some traders may use it as a central fair-value reference, while others may prefer to keep the chart cleaner and focus only on the colored bands and market regime zones.
This indicator can be used by scalpers, intraday traders, swing traders, and market structure traders. Scalpers may use it to avoid fast choppy conditions and focus on cleaner short-term movement. Intraday traders can use it to read the daily or weekly VWAP structure. Swing traders can use weekly or monthly mode to understand broader market behavior. Price action traders can use it as a visual filter for trend, range, and unstable market conditions.
The best way to use the indicator is as a market condition tool, not as a standalone entry system. Its main value is helping traders understand when the market is trending, when it is ranging, and when price action is too choppy to read clearly. Once the market condition is clear, traders can apply their own strategy with better context.
🔵 Settings
TimeFrame : This setting defines the VWAP anchor period used by the indicator. Traders can choose between Daily, Weekly, and Monthly modes. Daily mode follows the current day’s VWAP structure, Weekly mode uses the current week’s VWAP structure, and Monthly mode shows a broader VWAP structure based on the current month.
Band Multiplier : The Band Multiplier controls the width of the main VWAP bands. A higher value makes the bands wider and gives more space around price, while a lower value keeps the bands closer to price. This setting affects how the indicator displays the main trend and volatility structure.
Range Multiplier : The Range Multiplier controls the sensitivity of the range detector. Lower values create High Range Sensitivity, so the indicator detects range conditions more actively. Higher values create Low Range Sensitivity, making range detection more selective and conservative.
Show VWAP Line : This option shows or hides the VWAP line on the chart. When enabled, the VWAP line can be used as the central reference inside the band structure. When disabled, the chart stays cleaner and the focus remains on the colored market condition zones.
🔵 Conclusion
Market conditions can change quickly, and not every move has the same quality. A clean trend, a structured range, and a choppy market need to be read differently. This indicator helps make that difference more visible by using VWAP-based bands and color behavior to show when price is moving with direction, when it is consolidating, and when the market is becoming unstable.
The main strength of the tool is its visual reading of market behavior. Stable green or red zones make trending conditions easier to follow, while purple zones highlight range structures with clear upper and lower boundaries. When the colors start changing frequently, that shift itself becomes an important warning that price action is noisy, unstable, and moving without a clean direction.
Overall, the indicator gives traders a clearer way to read trend, range, and choppy market conditions before making trading decisions. It is best used as a market environment filter, helping traders understand the current price behavior and decide whether the market is clean enough for their strategy or too chaotic to trade confidently.

Multi Timeframe Order-Flow CockpitMulti-Timeframe Order-Flow Cockpit
A single overlay that turns raw volume into a multi-timeframe order-flow read. It draws a compact row of higher-timeframe (HTF) candles beside price — each split into buy vs sell volume — and condenses several timeframes' order flow into one plain-language verdict. Unusually, it ships with a built-in calibration layer that forward-tests its own verdict and tells you, in plain words, whether that verdict actually beats a base rate — instead of asserting an edge it cannot show.
WHAT IT DOES
For each timeframe you enable, the script reconstructs the buy/sell volume that built every bar, scores how one-sided that flow is, reads market structure, and fuses everything into a single bias with a stated conviction. It then projects key price levels and marks where current price sits inside each timeframe's range — so you can see, at one glance, what order flow is doing across the whole timeframe stack.
WHY THESE COMPONENTS ARE COMBINED
This is not a pile of unrelated overlays. It is a pipeline where each stage feeds the next, and a final stage audits the whole:
Higher-timeframe candles are the canvas — see several timeframes' auctions at once without flipping charts.
Intrabar delta classifies sub-bar volume into buy vs sell (close-vs-open, or range-weighted). Where your plan and symbol allow, the chart-timeframe strip uses native footprint (real aggressor bid/ask volume), tagged REAL; otherwise it reconstructs the delta and is tagged EST — so data fidelity is never hidden.
Order-flow toxicity (VPIN-family) measures how aggressive/one-sided each timeframe's flow is. It is a conviction input, not a direction.
Market structure (swing breaks, BOS/CHoCH) supplies directional context that can override delta when price structure genuinely shifts.
Probabilistic synthesis fuses the above in log-odds space, averaging correlated inputs so that redundant agreement cannot inflate confidence, plus an optional exogenous volatility-index vote (rising volatility pressures the asset).
Forward calibration resolves every committed verdict N bars later against an ATR-sized move and reports Hit% versus an unconditional Base%, gated by a Wilson score interval so a result is only flagged (star) when it is statistically distinguishable from chance — split by trending versus ranging regime.
The components belong together because the deliverable is the synthesis and its honest scoring, which no single overlay can provide: toxicity needs the delta, structure contextualizes the delta, the verdict needs all of them, and the calibration is meaningless without a verdict to test.
HOW TO USE IT
Read the Compact table (default). Bias = which way flow leans; Conviction = how strongly; Flow = calm vs one-sided; Setup = exhaustion flags; Edge = whether the verdict has measured, significant edge; Use = the bottom line — "Context only" until edge is proven, "Tradeable — still verify" only when the calibration confirms it.
Switch the table to Pro for per-timeframe metrics (delta %, toxicity, structure, calibrated bias) plus the combined verdict and calibration rows. Turn on the Key Info table while learning — it is a plain-language legend.
On-chart aids: each panel tags its true High/Low and shows a position triangle at its edge — green when price is above that timeframe's range, red when below, yellow when inside, with brightness scaling to how far price has stretched. Key levels (POC, value-area high/low, recent swing high/low) are projected at true price as reference zones.
Any market: set your symbol, price source and intrabar resolution in Data Source, and your market's volatility index in Volatility Vote. Defaults are set for NSE NIFTY — change them for other assets.
Alerts are attention cues (verdict shift, toxicity spike, divergence, structure shift) — they tell you where to look, never what to do. Create one alert with the condition "Any alert() function call."
WHAT IS ORIGINAL HERE
Most order-flow and "smart-money" tools assert an edge by drawing confident signals. This one is built around the opposite discipline: a transparent calibration layer that measures and reports its own edge against a base rate, refuses to certify a signal that has not earned statistical significance, and reports it separately by market regime. The multi-timeframe order-flow synthesis with decorrelated log-odds fusion, and the REAL/EST fidelity tagging of delta, are also original to this implementation. The honesty layer is the headline feature — it is designed to tell you when there is no proven edge.

Momentum Conviction [HermesCore]WHAT THIS INDICATOR DOES
Momentum Conviction watches two things at the same moment: where price momentum turns, and how much agreement stands behind that turn. The turn is an EMA crossover — the fast EMA (Exponential Moving Average) crossing the slow one — but only when the MACD histogram (Moving Average Convergence Divergence, a standard momentum gauge) is leaning the same way. A LONG fires when the fast EMA crosses above the slow EMA while MACD momentum is positive; a SHORT is the exact mirror. A cross with no momentum behind it is ignored.
Every signal that does fire is then graded 0 to 5 by a conviction score, built from five independent checks the moment the signal prints. You decide how much conviction you require: show every signal, or raise the minimum and keep only the ones with weight behind them.
WHY IT IS DIFFERENT
Most moving-average tools print an arrow on every cross and leave you to separate the real ones from the noise by eye. My rules are:
A cross is not a signal on its own. It has to happen while MACD momentum agrees. A large share of the crosses that fail are crosses that fired into flat or opposing momentum; gating on the histogram removes them before they ever reach the chart.
The score is a filter, not decoration. It is not a confidence label added after the fact — it is five yes/no facts, known at signal time, summed. Set a minimum and the weak signals never appear.
The higher timeframe gets a vote, not the final word. One of the five points is HTF agreement, so you can weigh it without being ruled by it.
ADX is deliberately excluded. I tested it repeatedly on the charts this was built for and it did not earn a place.
Everything updates on confirmed bars only. No intrabar flicker, no repainting, and the higher-timeframe reads use no look-ahead.
HOW TO READ THE CHART
LONG bubble (green, below the bar) and SHORT bubble (red, above it) mark each qualifying signal. Bubble size is adjustable.
The gradient EMA cloud is aqua when the fast EMA sits above the slow one (uptrend lean) and magenta when below. The slow EMA carries a soft gold glow so the spine of the trend is always easy to find.
A faint background tint colours the whole pane in the trend colour — a peripheral regime cue, nothing to act on by itself.
A faint gold background band shows the previous day's and previous week's range, for context on where price sits inside the larger structure.
THE CONVICTION SCORE
Each check is worth one point, decided at signal time, and never changes afterwards:
Momentum strength — the MACD histogram is larger than its own 50-bar average: the push is bigger than this market's normal push. +1
Slope agreement — the fast EMA is itself moving in the signal's direction, not merely crossing. +1
Higher-timeframe trend — the chosen HTF (4H by default) is trending the same way; its price and 50/200 EMAs agree. +1
Not over-extended — price is within a set ATR (Average True Range, a volatility measure) distance of the slow EMA, so you are not entering after the move has already run. +1
RSI room — RSI (Relative Strength Index, 0–100) is not already at an extreme in the signal's direction; there is room left to travel. +1
Five of five is a cross with bigger-than-normal momentum, sloping the right way, aligned with the higher timeframe, entered near value, with room to run. Zero is a bare cross with nothing behind it. The minimum-score input is where you set your own bar.
HOW I USE IT
The defaults are deliberately fast (EMA 2/12) — a low-timeframe, many-signals setting. Slow the lengths down for swing work and you get fewer, heavier signals.
I treat a high-score signal that agrees with the higher timeframe as the one worth acting on, and a low-score signal as information about the tape rather than a trade. The honest part: this is trend and momentum logic. It earns its keep when the market trends and gives a good deal of it back in ranges. The regime tint and the HTF vote exist to keep you on the right side of that question, not to solve it — be honest with yourself about which regime you are actually in.
SETTINGS THAT MATTER
EMA fast/slow and MACD lengths — the engine. Defaults are fast; raise them for higher timeframes and fewer, heavier signals.
Minimum score (0) — your conviction bar. 0 shows everything; raise it to thin the chart to signals with agreement behind them.
Higher timeframe (4H) — the trend you check against. Match it to your horizon.
Max distance to slow EMA (2.0 ATR) — how far from value still counts as "not over-extended."
RSI overbought/oversold (72/28) — the "room left" thresholds.
Each score component can be switched off individually if you want to see what it contributes on its own.
ALERTS
Momentum Conviction LONG and Momentum Conviction SHORT, both firing on the confirmed close of the signal bar, with ticker and timeframe in the message.
CALCULATION DETAILS
All logic evaluates on confirmed bars. A signal cannot appear or disappear inside a forming candle.
The trigger is the fast/slow EMA cross; the gate is the sign of the MACD histogram on the same close.
The higher-timeframe trend uses that timeframe's prior-bar close and 50/200 EMAs, requested with no look-ahead, so it does not repaint.
The conviction score is computed once, at signal time, from the values listed above.
HONEST LIMITATIONS
This is trend-following momentum. In a range it will cross back and forth and hand gains back; no filter removes that, it only thins it.
The score is a hypothesis about signal quality, not a measured edge. This indicator does not keep score for you. If you want to know whether higher scores actually perform better on your symbol, run the matching strategy version in the Strategy Tester with realistic costs and read the result yourself.
The defaults trade often. On a live account, slippage and spread on frequent entries matter more than the chart suggests — cost everything before you believe anything.
Signals are evaluated at the close; real fills happen later and worse. Treat the chart as the ideal case.
It runs on any symbol and timeframe, but "runs" is not "has an edge" — whether it works on your market is yours to verify. Past behaviour is not the next signal.
Not financial advice. It manages no positions and places no orders.
ORIGINALITY
The ingredients — EMA crosses, MACD, RSI, ATR — are as old as charting. The momentum-gated trigger, the five-factor conviction score and its use as a hard filter, the regime-aware visual language and the non-repaint construction are my own work in Pine v6. Every value the script uses is recomputable from the rules above.

ICT/SMC Institutional Intelligence -- Dual Detection [IID]ICT/SMC Institutional Intelligence — Dual Detection
An integrated ICT/SMC structural analysis system built around two independent verdict engines — Continuation and Reversal — that score the same market in parallel and surface what the price action is doing, where the market structure stands, and whether continuation or reversal pressure is building. The system describes conditions. It does not issue buy or sell instructions.
---
█ What Makes It Different
Dual independent verdict engines.
Continuation and Reversal score simultaneously, against the same chart, with configurable conflict resolution — Show Both , Dominant Wins , or CONFLICT Flag — so traders see when both pressures are real, when one is dominant, and when the two are fighting.
-
Multi-factor confluence engine across three categories.
A composite confluence score grouped into Zone , Reference , and Timing buckets, so traders can see what kind of confluence is present, not just how much.
-
Real-time Intelligence Briefing.
A three-column briefing — STATE / OBSERVED / TRACKING — that translates the engine readings into plain structural language and tracks live events like pending sweep confirmations as they unfold.
---
█ Key Capabilities
The system includes BUT NOT LIMITED TOO:
Dual verdict engines
(Continuation and Reversal) scoring INACTIVE → EARLY → FORMING → BUILDING → CONFIRMED, with timeframe-aware multipliers and modifier handling for consolidation, lunch dead-zone, NY overlap, and active sweeps.
-
Structure detection
including Break of Structure ( BOS ), Change of Character ( CHoCH ), and Market Structure Shift ( MSS ) across configurable timeframes, with validation-event freshness gating.
-
Zone management
for Order Blocks (OB) , Fair Value Gaps (FVG) , Breaker Blocks (BB) , Balanced Price Range (BPR) , and Inverted FVG (iFVG) — each treated as dynamic support and resistance with full lifecycle tracking (formation, mitigation, inversion, aging, pruning).
-
Liquidity tracking
including liquidity pool detection, liquidity sweep identification, and a sweep-reclaim confirmation-window finite-state machine that distinguishes a wick raid from a confirmed reclaim with follow-through.
-
Multi-factor confluence scoring
across Zone , Reference , and Timing categories, with configurable STRONG / STANDARD / WEAK tier thresholds.
-
Five structural phases —
Expansion, Pullback, Consolidation, Continuation, Reversal — classified at chart-timeframe speed, each with its own optional alert.
-
Multi-timeframe market-structure grid
showing structure, swing position, zone presence, and trend per row. Rows hidden from the dashboard still compute for scoring.
-
Premium / Discount labelling and Optimal Trade Entry (OTE) zone detection (21–38% discount, 62–79% premium) from the active swing range.
-
Kill-zone awareness
for Asian, London, NY AM, and NY PM sessions, with a lunch dead-zone modifier and asset-class-aware gating.
-
Three-EMA trend system and anchored VWAP (Daily / Weekly / Session / Monday anchors) with previous-anchor reference.
-
Session reference levels
including previous-day high, previous-day low, and midnight open.
-
Impulse classification
with displacement and absorption recognition, volume-climax exhaustion detection (opt-in), and an order-flow bias layer.
-
SMT divergence
against up to two correlated tickers, with configurable inverse-correlation logic.
-
Intelligence Briefing
delivering STATE / OBSERVED / TRACKING context on every confirmed bar.
-
Comprehensive alert system
with alert conditions across three categories, individually toggleable, gated by bar close.

█ Who It's For
Whether you follow ICT methodology , trade Smart Money Concepts (SMC) setups, or work in pure price action analysis, IID Dual is built to give you structural context without prescribing entries. It is designed for traders who want to read the market, not be told what to do — practitioners who already have an entry framework and want a measured, transparent map of the conditions around their setup.
---
█ How It Works — The System
The system reads the chart in layers: structural events, zone behaviour, liquidity dynamics, confluence, and live tracking — all feeding two parallel verdict engines that score the picture in tandem. The architecture is integrative, not modular-in-isolation. Each layer feeds the next:
Structure detection runs first. Manual pivot logic with an ATR filter generates swing highs and lows, which produce BOS, CHoCH, and MSS validation events. These events have freshness windows — stale structure does not count toward the verdict.
Zone management tracks every reactive level the structure produces. Order Blocks, Fair Value Gaps, Breaker Blocks, BPRs, and inverted FVGs are created, aged, tested, mitigated, and pruned. The system knows which zones are active, which have been touched, and which have inverted.
Liquidity tracking maintains equal-high and equal-low pools and watches for sweeps. When a sweep occurs, a confirmation-window finite-state machine arms, then progresses through reclaim and follow-through — distinguishing a real institutional rotation from a stop-hunt that fails to confirm.
The Intelligence Briefing surfaces what matters from this stream in plain language: what state the system reads, what structural evidence supports it, and what live events are being tracked right now.
The confluence engine measures alignment by counting the active factors across Zone, Reference, and Timing categories, then classifying the percentage into STRONG, STANDARD, or WEAK tiers.
Both verdict engines score this picture in parallel. The Continuation engine combines higher-timeframe bias, confluence, kill-zone alignment, impulse, liquidity-path clearance, volume, and structural bonuses.
The Reversal engine requires hard gates — fresh CHoCH/MSS/BB-retest against bias, plus a prior validated sweep — before it allows a score, then composes its tier from validation age, sweep quality, confluence, impulse, volume, FVG, equal-highs/lows, kill-zone, and SMT divergence.
Conflict routing decides what the trader sees when both engines are active: both sides displayed, the configured dominant engine wins, or an explicit CONFLICT flag is raised.
The trader decides.

█ The Dashboard
The dashboard is a structured top-to-bottom readout, with seven bands designed to be read in order:
Market State
(top) — both engine tiers and percentages plus the central market-state classification
Intelligence Briefing —
STATE / OBSERVED / TRACKING in three cards
Multi-timeframe structure grid —
one row per configured timeframe with TF, swing position, structure pattern, OB up/down, BB, FVG, and trend
VWAP row —
current anchor distance and previous anchor reference
Confluence —
tier summary plus factor breakdown by Zone, Reference, and Timing
Chart Timeframe Intelligence —
volume, swing percentile, volatility, session, and kill-zone status
Market Context —
MAG (nearest magnet), IMP (impulse history), LIQ (sweep status), and BIAS (multi-timeframe consensus)
Every row is individually toggleable. The dashboard position and background opacity are configurable. Critically, structure grid rows hidden from view still compute for scoring — traders can simplify what they look at without losing analytical depth.

█ The Intelligence Briefing
No other ICT/SMC indicator delivers this layer — a three-column briefing that translates the engine readings into plain structural language, telling the trader what the system reads, what evidence it sees, and what events it's tracking right now.
STATE classifies the current market condition —
Continuation phase, Reversal phase, Consolidation, Expansion, Pullback, or DUAL STAND-DOWN when neither engine is sufficiently active — and identifies which engine is dominant when both are scoring.
OBSERVED
describes the structural evidence the system has registered around the current state, expressed in ICT/SMC vocabulary rather than raw values.
TRACKING
is the live monitor. When a liquidity sweep arms the confirmation window, TRACKING shows the pending event, the countdown to the confirmation deadline, and the active kill-zone context. When no event is pending, it shows the directional narrative or stays quiet — silence is information too.
The briefing updates on the last confirmed bar so traders read a stable, non-flickering snapshot of what the system understands about this moment in the chart.

█ Setup & Configuration
The defaults work out of the box, but a few inputs are worth knowing about — they determine which timeframes the indicator reads from, how its multi-TF grid is structured, and how patient the indicator is when classifying impulse and structure. The three subsections below cover each in turn. All three are independent — changing one does not change the others.
█ Context & Validation Timeframes
The indicator's primary anchor points are two timeframe inputs. Context timeframe (bias) sets the higher TF the indicator reads bias from. Validation timeframe (confirmation) sets the TF where structural events (BOS, CHoCH, MSS) need to confirm before the engines treat them as valid.
The defaults are 1 hour Context and 15 minutes Validation. These match a Day Trader's typical workflow — a higher-TF bias view paired with a lower-TF confirmation window. Scalpers will usually want lower values for both (15m Context / 1m Validation is common). Swing traders running H4 or daily charts will want higher values (4h Context / 1h Validation, or higher).
The two inputs work together but are independent. Changing Context doesn't change Validation; changing either doesn't affect the Trader Type setting or the Structure Grid configuration. Pick the pair that matches the structural read you actually trade — the indicator does the rest.
! (setup-context-validation.png)
(Screenshot: Properties → Inputs → Timeframes — Context timeframe (bias) and Validation timeframe (confirmation) at their defaults of 1 hour / 15 minutes)
█ Structure Grid Configuration
The 7-Timeframe Market Structure Grid is fully customisable. Each of the seven rows has two settings: a timeframe selector (any TF from 1-minute to monthly) and a Show toggle.
The default ladder is Weekly, Daily, 4-hour, 1-hour, 15-minute, 5-minute, 1-minute — covering the most common trading horizons from high-timeframe context down to execution. Any row can be reassigned to a different TF, and rows can be enabled or disabled individually using their Show checkboxes. A trader running a non-standard ladder (e.g., only the four TFs they actually trade) can hide the rest.
Hidden rows still compute for scoring. This is important — the indicator's engines, BIAS aggregation, and confluence logic read from all seven configured rows regardless of which are visible. Hiding a row removes it from the dashboard display, not from the analysis. Customise the visible ladder to match what you want to see ; the indicator continues to use the full 7-TF data for its decisions.
! (setup-structure-grid.png)
(Screenshot: Properties → Inputs → Timeframes — the seven Structure row dropdowns at their defaults (Weekly → 1-minute ladder), each with an individual Show checkbox; in this view, only the 15-minute row is set to Show)
█ Trader Type
Trader Type is a single dropdown with three values: Scalper, Day Trader (default), and Swing. It controls how patient the indicator is.
The setting doesn't change which timeframes the indicator reads. What it changes is the sensitivity applied to that data. Scalper reacts faster: smaller candle bodies count as meaningful, shorter consolidations register, recent structural events qualify as fresh. Swing waits longer: bodies need to be more decisive, consolidations more developed, events more recent. Day Trader sits between them.
The effect shows up in several places — IMP row candle classifications in Market Context, TREND column readings in the Structure Grid, the Structural Phase header in the Verdict Banner, and delivery-state consolidation detection. The same chart and timeframes will produce different engine reads under different Trader Types because the indicator is asking different questions about the same data.
Pick Trader Type to match your trading style — how long you typically hold trades and how patient you are waiting for setups — not the chart timeframe you happen to be viewing. A scalper running a 1-minute chart will likely want Scalper; a swing trader on H4 will likely want Swing. But the mapping isn't enforced — Trader Type just tells the indicator how strict to be.
Trader Type and the timeframe inputs are independent. Selecting a different Trader Type does not change your Context or Validation Timeframe values. For a complete style-switch, change all three together.

█ Reading the Indicator on a Live Chart
The dashboard mockups above show what each section looks like. The four worked examples below show what each section does — captured from real PulseWire replay sessions, with the indicator running on price as it would in normal use. Each scenario teaches one state the system can be in.
Conditions Ripening — system naming the pre-confirmation state
! (scenario-conditions-ripening.png)
(Screenshot: XAUUSD 5M during live replay — displacement and impulse are building; the system reports the setup before any signal fires)
(Dashboard view: Verdict Banner + Market Context. Other sections hidden.)
Most indicators are silent until conditions confirm, then they fire. IID Dual reports the state before the signal: when displacement and impulse start building a directional case, the Market State band names it explicitly as CONDITIONS RIPENING · FORMING · PRE-PHASE. The system isn't predicting; it's describing what it sees, with timestamps.
Underneath, the impulse layer doesn't just report a single reading — it shows the progression : HLLW → WEAK → SLID → NOW: STRG ↓ at 138% volume, momentum present. Four stages, each named, each timestamped.
The displacement isn't a wick; the case is building. If the next bars deliver continuation, the engine will progress from FORMING to BUILDING to CONFIRMED. If the move stalls, the ripening narrative dissolves and the system moves on.
█ TRACKING in Action — sweep confirmation window
! (scenario-tracking-in-action.png)
(Screenshot: XAUUSD 5M during live replay — a chart sweep arms the confirmation window; the system reads the event and counts down)
(Dashboard view: Verdict Banner + Intelligence Briefing + Pending Strip. Other sections hidden.)
A sweep alone isn't a reversal — it's a question. When price takes out a swing high or low and the confirmation window arms, the dashboard surfaces the pending event explicitly — here a bear sweep at 4762.905, 4 of 5 bars remaining — and the TRACKING column counts down bar by bar so the trader knows whether they're watching a confirmed reclaim or a failed raid. Above, the verdict banner shows Reversal already reading EARLY ▼ BEAR 81% — the engines have priced the structural case; the pending sweep is the live evidence that confirms or invalidates it.
The dashboard isn't predicting; it's reading the chart in real time and reporting what it sees. If the bar closes back inside the original range before the counter expires, the sweep is confirmed and the structural-reversal case strengthens. If the window expires without a clean close, the raid failed and the system moves on.
█ Divergent Signals — both engines speaking at once
! (scenario-divergent-signals.png)
(Screenshot: XAUUSD 5M during live replay — both engines scoring the same chart: Continuation FORMING bear, Reversal BUILDING bull — the system flags the divergence explicitly)
(Dashboard view: Verdict Banner + Intelligence Briefing. Other sections hidden.)
Most indicators force a single directional read. IID Dual lets both engines speak. When a fresh MSS on chart arms the reversal case but the prior continuation hasn't fully invalidated, the dashboard shows both engines scoring at once — here Continuation FORMING ▼ BEAR 22% alongside Reversal BUILDING ▲ BULL 55%, with the Market State band reporting "DIVERGENT SIGNALS · OPPOSED · ENGINES SPLIT" and the sub-line stating "engines disagree . wait for resolution before acting." The STATE column in the Intelligence Briefing reinforces with "DIVERGENT SIGNALS ⚠ Conflict."
The system isn't choosing for the trader; it's reporting what it sees, in detail. If the trader has configured Dominant Wins , the higher-tier engine (here Reversal at 55%) takes the displayed read. If Show Both or CONFLICT Flag is set, the dashboard surfaces the disagreement rather than resolving it — leaving the read to the trader's judgement.
█ Confluence Breakdown — what KIND of confluence is active
! (scenario-confluence-breakdown.png)
(Screenshot: XAUUSD 5M during live replay — multiple timing factors firing while zone and reference categories sit partial; the dashboard splits the confluence score into its three constituent buckets)
(Dashboard view: Verdict Banner + Confluence row. Other sections hidden.)
Confluence usually arrives as a single number. IID Dual splits it. The CONFLUENCE row reports the headline — here 6/15 STANDARD mixed — but the three category lines beneath name exactly what kind of confluence is active: ZONE 2/7 , REFERENCE 0/4 inactive , TIMING 4/4 .
Read those three lines and the same 6/15 score tells a much sharper story. TIMING is fully saturated — every timing factor the system tracks is firing. ZONE is partial — a sweep and a premium/discount read, but no order block or FVG contribution.
REFERENCE is silent — no EMA or VWAP alignment in play. A trader who relies on EMA structure now knows their preferred confluence layer isn't contributing; a trader who weighs timing knows the timing-side case is as strong as it gets. The headline number is honest; the breakdown is where the read lives.
---
█ Component Reference
The four worked examples above teach what the system does in different market states. The nine entries below cover what each component shows , in isolation — each captured with only that component visible, so its structure and tooltips can be read without competition. The Properties panels in each image are the recipe; replicate any view by setting the same toggles.
█ Chart Overlays
! (anatomy-chart-overlays.png)
(Screenshot: EURUSD 15M — chart populated with the indicator's full visible vocabulary; Structure Grid configured to a single TF on the right as a bridge to the dashboard)
Chart Overlays are the indicator's chart-side teaching layer — they show you what the dashboard is actually reading from. Every zone, structural marker, and event tag the indicator draws directly on price corresponds to a cell or column somewhere in the dashboard.
Zones (OB, FVG, iFVG, BB, BPR) appear as coloured regions with right-edge labels naming what they are. Structural markers (BOS, CHoCH, MSS, DISP) sit at the bars where the indicator detected those events. Sweep tags (SWEEP, SMT BEAR, SMT BULL) mark the levels where liquidity was taken.
Chart overlays don't carry hover-tooltips themselves — the dashboard's other components do the descriptive work. Here, the 1-TF Structure Grid sits next to the chart as a bridge: each chart object the indicator draws on price (BEAR OB, BULL FVG, BOS, SWEEP) corresponds to a cell in the grid's columns.
The tooltip surfaced on the TF cell confirms the system-wide principle: "Timeframe row. Hidden rows can be toggled, but engine computation continues."
The chart-side vocabulary is foundational. Every other section in this reference reads from these objects — the Structure Grid summarises them across timeframes, the Confluence row counts them as factors, the engines score them through tier logic.
This view uses three toggles: Show dashboard, Show chart overlays, and Show 7-timeframe market structure grid (configured to one TF). The Properties panel on the left shows the configuration.
The full multi-timeframe treatment of chart objects is covered next, in the Structure Grid.
█ Verdict Banner
! (anatomy-verdict-banner.png)
(Screenshot: EURUSD 10M — engines scoring in opposition, Market State band naming the divergence; centre cell hovered)
The Verdict Banner is the dashboard's headline read — your one-glance answer to "what state is the market in right now?" . Three cells across the top: Continuation on the left, Reversal on the right, Market State between them. Above all three, a Structural Phase header names the broader regime.
The Market State cell carries a tooltip explaining each state's trigger. Here the band reads DIVERGENT SIGNALS, and the tooltip explains the rule: "One engine is BUILDING+ now while the other was BUILDING+ within 15 bars but faded below BUILDING." That last clause matters — the system holds memory of recently-strong engines for 15 bars, so a state can persist after the engine that earned it has cooled.
The Intelligence Briefing uses the same memory principle on a 30-bar window.
Read the banner as a system. The Continuation and Reversal cells each carry a tier (EARLY, FORMING, BUILDING, CONFIRMED) and a direction (BULL ▲, BEAR ▼) from that engine's own scoring.
The Market State band synthesises: CONDITIONS RIPENING when displacement is building, CONTINUATION PHASE or REVERSAL PHASE when one engine dominates, DIVERGENT SIGNALS when the engines disagree. The sub-line names what's driving the read — "driven by CON" or "driven by BIAS + IMP" . The Structural Phase header at the top (PULLBACK, EXPANSION, REVERSAL, CONSOLIDATION) frames the macro regime.
This view uses just two toggles: Show dashboard and Show verdict banner. The Properties panel on the left shows the configuration.
The Verdict Banner is the only section that always speaks — other sections can read quiet, but the banner always reports something , even if INACTIVE 0%.
█ Modifier & Trade-level Strip
! [Modifier strip — firing with engine impact](anatomy-modifier-strip.png)
(Screenshot: EURUSD 10M — Modifier strip showing tag with Verdict Banner context above; modifier cell hovered)
The Modifier & Trade-level Strip surfaces context the engine scores alone can't show — sessions, sweeps, conflicts, structural exceptions. It's a single row that sits beneath the Verdict Banner, normally quiet, lighting up only when a modifier is firing. When it does, it appears as a labelled tag — ` ` for a recent sweep contribution, ` ` for a session penalty, ` ` for a validation warning, and others.
The hovered tooltip explains the active modifier's effect: "Validation conflict cuts Continuation by 1 tier; Reversal treats it as N/A." That's not a passive label — the modifier is actively changing the engine output.
The Verdict Banner shown above reads Continuation FORMING ▼ BEAR 46%; without the conflict cut, the Continuation engine would presumably sit one tier higher. The double-exclamation ` ` notation marks high-priority modifiers — ones that materially change scoring rather than just nudging it.
Each modifier in the strip's vocabulary has its own scoring rule. The strip is the indicator's way of surfacing context that the engine logic alone wouldn't expose — sessions, sweeps, conflicts, structural exceptions.
This view uses three toggles: Show dashboard, Show verdict banner, and Show modifier and trade-level strip. The strip currently requires the Verdict Banner to be enabled to render — captured here as configured.
█ Intelligence Briefing
! (anatomy-intelligence-briefing.png)
(Screenshot: EURUSD 5M — REVERSAL EMERGING state with active sweep being tracked; STATE column hovered)
The Intelligence Briefing answers "what is the indicator actually seeing right now?" in plain structural language. It translates engine percentages into the kind of observation a trader would make at the chart. Three columns: STATE (the indicator's current classification), OBSERVED (what structural evidence has been detected), TRACKING (what live events the system is watching).
The STATE column tooltip surfaces an engine-logic principle: "Reversal is active now or was BUILDING+ within 30 bars, with Continuation outside handoff control." The system has memory — STATE doesn't just reflect the current bar's read, it reflects whether either engine was strong within a 30-bar window.
The handoff system manages how engines pass control between phases. The Verdict Banner uses a similar 15-bar memory on its DIVERGENT trigger; together, the two windows mean the indicator reports on recent history, not just instantaneous classification.
The OBSERVED column reports validated structural events — what the indicator has actually confirmed on chart. The TRACKING column reports pending events with countdowns — sweeps awaiting close confirmation, structural breaks under validation. When TRACKING is active, the system is mid-evaluation; when it's quiet, no live events are pending.
This view uses just two toggles: Show dashboard and Show Intelligence Briefing. The Properties panel on the left shows the configuration.
The Briefing is the dashboard's translation layer between the engines' percentages and the trader's structural vocabulary.
█ 7-Timeframe Market Structure Grid
! (anatomy-structure-grid.png)
(Screenshot: EURUSD 5M — the grid showing per-timeframe readings across Weekly through 1M, with the 5M row's SWING H/L cell hovered to surface its tooltip)
The 7-Timeframe Market Structure Grid is a per-timeframe snapshot of where price sits in its swing range, what structural events have validated, what unfilled order blocks and FVGs sit at proximity, and what trend mode each timeframe is reading. One row per configured timeframe; one column per structural dimension.
Each cell carries a hover-tooltip with its plain-language meaning. Hovering the 5M row's SWING H/L cell surfaces the tooltip shown: "5 52%. Equilibrium (EQ)." followed by a compact legend — the dot glyph marks the current position in the swing range, arrow glyphs name sweep and reclaim events, and the bracketed tags identify zone-state ( for premium, for discount, for equilibrium, for OTE — the optimal-trade-entry discount zone, for proximity to a swing extreme).
The reading "5 52%" means the 5-minute timeframe sits at the 52nd percentile of its current swing range — squarely in equilibrium. Every other cell in the grid carries the same kind of legend on hover.
The grid earns its keep when read vertically . A single timeframe showing tells you that one chart is in discount; five timeframes showing in the SWING H/L column tells you the whole structure is in discount and that any bullish entry sits with the broader ladder, not against it. The OB↑ and OB↓ columns work the same way — a column showing unfilled bullish order blocks at low proximity across multiple timeframes is a more durable read than the same reading on one timeframe alone.
The TREND column on the far right collapses each timeframe's macro mode into one tag (CON for continuation, PUL for pullback, TRN for transition, REV for reversal); scan that column for the macro picture.
This view uses just two toggles: Show dashboard and Show 7-timeframe market structure grid. The Properties panel on the left shows the configuration.
Hidden rows still compute for scoring. Turning a timeframe off the display removes it from the visible grid, not from the engine — the dashboard simplifies the view, not the analysis.
█ VWAP Row
! (anatomy-vwap-row.png)
(Screenshot: EURUSD 10M — VWAP row showing current and prior-day anchor values; VWAP label cell hovered)
The VWAP Row gives you the chart's daily fair-value reference without having to plot VWAP on chart. Three cells: a label, the current anchored VWAP with distance to price, and the prior-day completed VWAP value.
The label cell carries the row's hover-tooltip: "Selected VWAP anchor is the fair-value reference. Middle shows current anchored VWAP and distance; right shows the prior completed anchor value." The middle cell — here reading `D: 1.16335 dn | 0.02% above` — packs two facts: the VWAP value is dropping (`dn`), and current price sits 0.02% above the VWAP line. Direction and distance reported in the same cell. The right cell — here `PD: 1.16412` — shows where yesterday's VWAP closed, available as a reference even after the new day's anchor has reset.
VWAP serves the indicator's confluence and structural logic as a reactive level — a place price often respects on revisit. The row makes the reference and distance available at a glance without requiring VWAP to be drawn on chart.
This view uses just two toggles: Show dashboard and Show VWAP row. The Properties panel on the left shows the configuration.
The data cells don't carry their own tooltips; the label-level tooltip covers the whole row.
█ Confluence Row
! (anatomy-confluence-row.png)
(Screenshot: EURUSD 10M — confluence reading 7/15 STANDARD mixed; TIMING title hovered)
The Confluence Row answers "how much evidence is the indicator seeing for the current read?" — and where that evidence is coming from. A headline score (here 7/15 STANDARD with a progress bar and a composition label) sits above three category lines: ZONE, REFERENCE, and TIMING.
The TIMING title tooltip teaches one category's firing rule: "Timing factors activate during major killzones and while recent BOS, CHoCH, or MSS events are still fresh." The same activation logic applies by analogy to the others. ZONE factors fire when price interacts with structural zones (OB, FVG, BB, BPR, sweep proximity, premium/discount position).
REFERENCE factors fire when price relates to anchored references (EMA, VWAP). Each category has its own count of how many factors are firing out of how many possible.
The breakdown matters more than the headline number. Here ZONE reads 4/7 (partial), REFERENCE reads 0/4 inactive, TIMING reads 3/4 (near full). Same 7/15 score, but the composition tells a sharper story — timing-led and structurally-supported, with no reference-level alignment. The composition label at the top (here mixed ) names the dominant mode: structural-led when ZONE dominates, reference-led when REFERENCE dominates, timing-led when TIMING dominates, mixed when factors spread across categories.
This view uses just two toggles: Show dashboard and Show confluence row. The Properties panel on the left shows the configuration.
The headline number is honest; the breakdown is where the read lives.
█ Detail Strip
! (anatomy-detail-strip.png)
(Screenshot: EURUSD 10M — the strip showing all five chart-timeframe sub-components active; CHART TIMEFRAME INTELLIGENCE header hovered)
The Detail Strip is the indicator's compact answer to "what's happening right now on this chart?" . Five chart-timeframe context readings packed into one row: volume, swing position, volatility, session state, and killzone countdown.
The section header tooltip names the five sub-components in order: "Chart-timeframe inputs: volume, swing position, volatility, lunch state, and active killzone countdown." Each sub-component reports a small but distinct fact. VOL shows current volume relative to average. SWING reports where price sits within the current swing range and which zone-state applies ( , , , , ).
VLT reports volatility deviation from baseline (`+36%` here). The session indicator names the active session (EARLY LDN visible) including the lunch state mentioned in the tooltip. The killzone countdown reports time remaining in the active killzone window (`11% KZ LONDON 160m`).
These are all chart-timeframe inputs — they read from the timeframe of the chart, not from the multi-TF ladder. The Detail Strip is the indicator's compact context summary for "what's happening right now, on this chart."
This view uses just two toggles: Show dashboard and Show detail strip. The Properties panel on the left shows the configuration.
█ Market Context
! (anatomy-market-context.png) (Screenshot: EURUSD 10M — the four-row block showing structural context; IMP row hovered)
Market Context tells you what the broader trading environment is doing — where the magnets are, whether impulse is building, what liquidity is doing, and whether the multi-timeframe picture leans one way. Four rows sitting near the bottom of the dashboard: MAG (magnet proximity), IMP (impulse progression), LIQ (liquidity state), and BIAS (cross-timeframe directional conviction).
The IMP row tooltip reveals the indicator's candle-classification scoring rule: "STRONG/SOLID candles can score impulse; HOLLOW/ABSORBED/WEAK do not, though ABSORBED can add a Reversal pattern bonus." The IMP row shows the recent progression of candle classifications (`WEAK → SLID → SLID → NOW: STRG ↑ | 120% volume`) — a four-stage history of how impulse has built over recent bars. The Scenario 1 worked example above teaches this progression pattern in context.
Each row in Market Context reports a different aspect. MAG names the nearest magnetic level (prior-day high, VWAP, prior-day low) and which is closest. LIQ reports active liquidity state — sweep awaiting, sweep active, structural-side dominance (BSL = buy-side, SSL = sell-side). BIAS aggregates conviction from all seven Structure Grid timeframes into a single signed read; its calibration tiers are 7 full, 5+ leaning, 3+ scattered, and no consensus.
This view uses just two toggles: Show dashboard and Show market context rows. The Properties panel on the left shows the configuration.
The BIAS row's aggregation from seven structure rows is the dashboard's clearest cross-section data flow — confluence among components, not just within one.

█ Alerts
Alert conditions span three categories, each individually toggleable, all gated by bar close (no intra-bar firing) and with built-in per-family cooldowns:
ENGINE alerts
fire when the Continuation or Reversal engine enters CONFIRMED. Master toggles per engine gate alerts only — both engines continue computing and displaying regardless.
-
STRUCTURE alerts
fire on chart-timeframe phase transitions — Expansion, Pullback, Consolidation, Continuation, Reversal — and on confirmed sweep reclaims (after the confirmation-window FSM completes).
-
ZONE alerts
fire when price enters swing-high or swing-low proximity, or when price enters the OTE discount (21–38%) or OTE premium (62–79%) zones.
Use them à la carte. Subscribe to phase transitions for context, to engine confirmations for high-tier readings, or to zone entries for proximity-based attention.

█ Getting Started
Add IID Dual to any chart. The indicator works on any instrument and any timeframe PulseWire supports.
-
Collapse the chart legend (click the arrow next to the indicator name) for a cleaner view — all status-line clutter is already suppressed by design.
-
Read the dashboard. Market State and the Intelligence Briefing give the headline; the structure grid, confluence breakdown, and market context fill in the detail.
-
Configure timeframes under the Timeframes input group to match your workflow, then choose your alert categories.

█ Feeling Overwhelmed? Start Simple
Dashboards in this category are often described as overwhelming. IID Dual is built to be turned down. Every section — Verdict Banner, Intelligence Briefing, Structure Grid, VWAP, Confluence, CTI strip, Market Context, Footer, Chart Overlays — is individually toggleable from the Properties panel. Each of the four worked examples above shows a different dashboard configuration — the toggles in their Properties panels are the recipe.
! (feeling-overwhelmed-divergent-demo.png)
(Screenshot: EURUSD 10M · all sections lit · Cont 42% vs Rev 50% · the system speaking in full)
A clean starting point: leave only Market State and the Intelligence Briefing on, and add bands back as their meaning clicks. Anything you hide still computes for scoring — you simplify the view, not the analysis. Every dashboard cell and every input carries a plain-language tooltip on hover, and status-line clutter is already suppressed by design.

█ ICT/SMC Concepts Used
Break of Structure (BOS) —
price closes beyond a prior swing in the existing trend direction, confirming continuation.
-
Change of Character (CHoCH) —
price closes beyond a prior swing against the current trend, signalling a possible regime change.
-
Market Structure Shift (MSS) —
a higher-conviction structural break, often paired with displacement, marking a transition between bullish and bearish delivery.
-
Order Block (OB) —
the last opposing candle before a displacement move, treated as an institutional reactive level.
-
Fair Value Gap (FVG) —
a three-candle imbalance where price moved with insufficient overlap, leaving an inefficiency that may be revisited.
-
Inverted FVG (iFVG) —
an FVG that has been traded through and now acts as resistance/support in the opposite direction.
-
Breaker Block (BB) —
a failed order block that has been broken and retested, often signalling a structural pivot.
-
Balanced Price Range (BPR) —
overlap of bullish and bearish FVGs, treated as a high-probability reactive area.
-
Liquidity Sweep —
price taking out a prior swing high/low (equal highs/lows or pivot extremes) before reversing.
-
Sweep Reclaim —
a confirmed sweep where price closes back inside the original range with follow-through, distinguishing a successful raid from a continuation.
-
Premium / Discount Zones —
the upper and lower halves of the active swing range; OTE values sit within these.
-
Optimal Trade Entry (OTE) —
the 62–79% premium retracement (short-bias) and the 21–38% discount retracement (long-bias) of the active swing.
-
Kill Zones —
the Asian, London, NY AM, and NY PM session windows where institutional volume is concentrated.
-
VWAP —
Volume Weighted Average Price, anchored to Daily, Weekly, Session, or Monday, with previous-anchor reference.
-
Impulse Classification —
categorisation of directional moves by displacement strength, absorption, and volume context.

█ Limitations, Transparency & Development
Built-in tooltip system.
Every cell, column header, and dashboard section in IID Dual carries a contextual tooltip. Hover over any data point, a verdict state, a confluence factor, a structure label, a modifier, a row title, and the indicator explains what you're looking at, how it was calculated, and what it means in the current market context.
The dashboard is designed to teach as you use it, so newcomers to ICT and SMC concepts can build fluency without leaving the chart, and experienced traders can verify the exact methodology behind any reading. The Intelligence Briefing is the primary interpretive layer; the tooltip system is the reference layer beneath it.
Non-prescriptive by design.
This indicator describes market conditions. It does not issue buy or sell instructions, place orders, or claim a strategy edge. Alerts report state changes — not trade calls.
Methodology honesty.
The confluence engine treats its factors with equal weighting; the Intelligence Briefing's OBSERVED column is intentionally conservative and may show fallback narration when structural evidence is sparse. The Reversal engine requires hard gates before it will score, which by design produces fewer signals than the Continuation engine.
Not financial advice.
Trading involves risk. This indicator is an analytical tool. All decisions are the trader's.
Active development.
IID Dual is actively maintained. Feature updates, additional alert conditions, methodology refinements, and bug fixes are delivered through code updates — see release notes below the description for the latest changes. Indicator
Quarter Sequence ChainsQuarter Sequence Chains visualises Daye's Quarterly Theory across seven nested
cycle levels in a single sub-pane ribbon — and highlights when adjacent levels
form a Quarter Sequence chain.
Implements the Quarter Sequence framework as published by LethalityTrader:
when two or more cycle levels share the same Q-phase (or bridge Q4↔Q1), they
form a chain — and chains tell you which side of the market the bigger
timeframes are weighted toward.
═══════════════════════════════════
WHAT THE RIBBON SHOWS
═══════════════════════════════════
Seven rows, top → bottom (smallest cycle on top):
• Nano (5.625-minute Q)
• Micro (22.5-minute Q)
• 90M (90-minute Q)
• Daily (6-hour Q)
• Weekly (1-day Q, Sun-start convention)
• Monthly (~1-week Q, Daye Nth-Sunday anchor)
• Yearly (3-month Q)
Each cell is coloured by its current Q-phase:
• Q1 — grey (Accumulation)
• Q2 — red (Manipulation)
• Q3 — green (Distribution)
• Q4 — blue (Reversal / Continuation)
When the "Only colour cells participating in a chain" filter is on (default),
ONLY cells whose adjacent rows form a same-phase (or Q4↔Q1) chain of at least
N rows are coloured. Everything else stays blank. This is what makes the
ribbon a chain-detection tool, not just a quarter-of-the-day indicator.
═══════════════════════════════════
HOW TO READ IT
═══════════════════════════════════
A vertical stack of coloured cells at the current bar = a live chain.
• A 3-row green stack across 90M / Daily / Weekly = three nested cycles
are all in Q3 (Distribution) right now — a same-phase chain.
• A 4-row blue/grey alternating stack on Q4↔Q1 = a bridge chain across
the AMDX boundary — the doctrinally strongest setup per Lethality.
• A coloured single cell with blank neighbours = a chain that involves
off-band cycles (auto-hidden by your current chart TF but still
contributing). Drop to a lower TF to see the full chain.
Cells extend right until the cycle's Q-phase changes, so live chains stay
visible at the right edge of the chart in real time.
═══════════════════════════════════
TWO CHAIN MODES
═══════════════════════════════════
SIMPLE (default): one chain-length floor applied across all seven rows. A
row colours when it's part of a chain of ≥ N adjacent rows.
TIERED: two independent walks with separate minimums —
• HTF tier: Weekly / Monthly / Yearly
• LTF tier: Nano / Micro / 90M / Daily
A row colours when (a) its own tier's chain meets that tier's minimum AND
(b) the OTHER tier also has an active chain. HTF Q and LTF Q can be
different — "HTF Q4 + LTF Q3" is a valid composite (and a doctrinally
canonical execution setup).
═══════════════════════════════════
SUGGESTED SETTINGS
═══════════════════════════════════
For day traders on the 1m – 15m chart:
Mode = Simple, min length = 3
The Lethality floor — three nested cycles must agree before a cell colours.
For multi-timeframe context:
Mode = Tiered, HTF = 2, LTF = 2
Surfaces composites where the bigger picture aligns with the execution
window. Tighten either tier if too noisy.
For permissive scanning / learning the framework:
Mode = Simple, min length = 2
Every two-row agreement colours. Use this to see how chains form and
die — not for live trading decisions.
═══════════════════════════════════
TIMEFRAME GATING
═══════════════════════════════════
Each row auto-hides on charts where its cycle isn't readable:
Nano 1s – 1m Micro 1m – 5m
90M 1m – 1h Daily 1m – 4h
Weekly 1m – 6h Monthly 1m – 1w Yearly 15m – 1w
A row that's auto-hidden on the current TF still participates in chain
detection (off-band cycles are masked to zero, which means they can't
satisfy the pair rule — they break the chain rather than fake one).

Moving Average MTF**Moving Average MTF (Multi-Timeframe)**
This indicator plots three fully customizable moving averages, each calculated from an independent timeframe of your choice. Instead of being limited to the timeframe of your chart, each MA pulls data directly from its assigned timeframe — giving you a layered view of trend across multiple time horizons simultaneously.
By default the three MAs are set to 15 minutes, 1 hour, and 4 hours, all using a 50-period SMA. This makes the indicator best suited for use on a 5-minute chart, where all three timeframes sit above your chart and give you a clear short, medium, and macro trend stack in a single view.
---
**Settings**
Each of the three MAs has its own independent group of controls:
- **Show MA** — Toggles the MA line on or off without removing it from the settings.
- **Show Label** — Toggles the end-of-line label that appears to the right of the last candle. The label displays the MA type, length, timeframe, and current value.
- **Length** — The number of candles used to calculate the MA, based on its assigned timeframe. Default is 50 for all three.
- **Timeframe** — The timeframe the MA is calculated from, regardless of what timeframe your chart is on. You can type any valid timeframe directly into this field.
- **Type** — The moving average algorithm. Choose from SMA, EMA, WMA, VWMA, RMA, or HMA.
- **Line Style** — Choose between Solid, Stepline, or Circles.
- **Line Thickness** — Controls the width of the line from 1 to 10.
- **Color** — Full color picker to set each MA to any color you prefer.
---
**How to Use**
Keep your chart timeframe at or below the lowest MA timeframe you have set. With the defaults of 15min, 1h, and 4h, running the indicator on a 5-minute chart gives you the most meaningful read. When all three MAs are stacked and sloping in the same direction, trend is aligned across all three timeframes — the highest conviction environment for a trade. When they are tangled or conflicting, the market is in an indecisive state and it is generally best to wait for clarity.
---
**Important Note**
If your chart timeframe is higher than any of the MA timeframes you have set, that MA will still display but the value will not be meaningful. The indicator will not produce errors — it is purely a logical consideration. Always ensure your chart timeframe sits below your lowest MA timeframe for accurate results. Indicator

HTF/LTF Alignment ("Trend Is your Friend, Until the end!")HTF/LTF Alignment Dashboard
A clean multi-timeframe bias dashboard built around the 9 and 13 EMA. Tracks 9/13 EMA direction across three user-defined timeframes simultaneously and shows whether they're aligned at a glance — without making you flip charts.
What it does
Reads the 9 EMA (blue) and 13 EMA (grey) on three independently selectable timeframes (defaults: 1H / 15m / 5m) and prints the result as a compact dashboard on your chart. Each timeframe is color-coded — green when 9 EMA is above 13 EMA (bullish), red when below (bearish). A single alignment indicator at the top of the table reads "HTF/LTF Aligned" with a light blue dot when all three timeframes agree, grey when they don't.
The dashboard works on any chart timeframe. The three TFs in the table are pulled independently of what you're viewing, so you can sit on a 1m execution chart and still read 1H bias.
How to use it
1. Trend continuation — the cleanest setup
When all three TFs are aligned (blue dot lit), you're in a confirmed trending regime where higher and lower timeframes agree. This is the highest-probability environment to take continuation trades — pullbacks to value, breakouts, retests of broken structure. Trend is your friend, until the end. Trade with the alignment, not against it.
2. Possible reversal — read the flip cascade
The order in which timeframes change is the early-warning system. Reversals almost always start small and work outward:
LTF flips first → first crack, often just noise on its own
MTF flips → trend in your execution window has rolled
HTF flips → regime change confirmed
If you're holding a position in a fully-aligned market and the LTF flips against you, that's your cue to tighten stops, scale out, or stop adding. If two TFs have flipped and only the HTF holds, you're in the danger zone — the trend is dying. A full new-direction alignment (all three flip and re-agree) is the cleanest signal that the reversal is real, not a wick.
3. Top-down bias filter
Set TF1 to your bias timeframe, TF2 to your structure timeframe, TF3 to your execution timeframe. Only take longs when all three show BULL. Only take shorts when all three show BEAR. When the alignment dot is grey, the market is in transition — stand down or wait for it to settle.
4. Confluence trigger
Watch for the dot flipping from grey to light blue. That moment marks all three TFs agreeing for the first time and frequently coincides with momentum kicks and continuation legs. Pair it with your own entry trigger — structure break, pullback to a key level, breakout retest, or whatever you already use.
5. Don't fight the tide check
If your HTF row is BEAR and you're tempted to long an LTF setup, the dashboard sitting grey is the visual reminder you're trading against the higher tide. Reduce size, skip the trade, or wait for alignment to come to you.
Settings
Three timeframes, fully editable (HTF / MTF / LTF)
Table position: any of four corners or middle sides
Table size: Tiny / Small / Normal / Large
Every color editable — cell backgrounds, text colors, frame, borders, alignment indicator
Optional plot of the 9/13 EMA on the current chart (off by default; 9 = blue, 13 = grey)
"Use confirmed values only" toggle for non-repainting bias (locks each TF until that bar closes)
Three alerts: bullish alignment fired, bearish alignment fired, alignment lost
Notes
Default mode shows live developing bias — values can update intra-bar until each TF's bar closes. Flip on "Use confirmed values only" if you prefer locked, non-repainting values. For best data fidelity, keep your chart timeframe equal to or lower than the lowest TF in your dashboard. Works on any market — futures, FX, equities, crypto.
This is a bias and confluence tool. It won't tell you exactly where to enter or exit on its own — it shows you when the trend stack agrees, when it doesn't, and when it's starting to come apart Indicator
Ultimate FVG/NWOG By FreedomByChartsUltimate FVG/NWOG By FreedomByCharts
A clean, no-bloat FVG and NWOG indicator built around how I actually trade: chart timeframe + three independent higher timeframes + the New Week Opening Gap, all in one global colour scheme with sensible defaults and granular per-source control.
Why this one
Most FVG indicators on TV fall into one of two camps. Either they're stripped down to the bare chart-timeframe pattern with a single fill colour and a hardcoded mitigation rule, or they're bloated with theme presets, IPDA modes, half-finished features and ten settings groups you'll never use. This one is built the other way round: deep where it matters (mitigation logic, NWOG accuracy, display control), and stripped of everything that doesn't earn its place on the chart.
What's actually different:
Four mitigation modes, not one. Wick Filled (full), Body Filled (full), Wick 50%, Body 50%. Pick what matches your model — strict body close beyond the far side, or a partial wick into the midpoint, or anything between.
Independent box and line visibility per source. Box on, lines off. Lines on, box off. Top + bottom only, no middle. Mid line dotted, top and bottom solid. Whatever you want — five sources, each independent.
Mitigated FVGs become iFVGs. When an FVG gets mitigated its label flips from e.g. `1H` to `1H iFVG`, marking the zone as an inverted FVG — the same level can now act in the opposite direction. NWOG labels stay as `NWOG` since the inversion concept doesn't apply.
Mitigated zones can drop their lines automatically. Per-source toggle: keep the grey box for context, lose the line clutter. Active zones stay fully drawn.
Three HTFs at once, plus chart TF, plus NWOG. Run 1H, 4H, 1D simultaneously while the chart-TF FVGs print on whatever you're looking at. Each fully configurable. No request.security guesswork — the HTF tracking is explicit and aligned to the chart bars where each HTF period's high and low actually occurred.
NWOG done properly, including holiday weeks. The NWOG anchors to the close of the last 1H bar before the weekend (Friday on a normal week, Thursday on Easter / Good Friday week) and the open of Sunday's first 1H bar. No stale Friday-only state, no wrong-priced boxes anchored at the wrong bar after holiday closes.
Single global colour scheme. One bullish colour, one bearish colour, one mitigated grey. Applied uniformly across every source for a clean, professional look. NWOG can override its own bull/bear colours if you want it to stand out.
No display caps you have to work around. Set the unfilled count and mitigated count per source to whatever you actually want to see. Old zones get pruned automatically as new ones form.
What it draws
Chart FVGs — current timeframe, both bullish and bearish.
HTF1, HTF2, HTF3 — three configurable higher timeframes (defaults: 1H, 4H, 1D), all rendered on the current chart.
NWOG — the body gap between the close of the last 1H trading bar before the weekend and the open of Sunday's first 1H bar.
For each zone you get an optional coloured box (transparency adjustable), an optional top line, mid line, bot line (each with independent show/hide and Solid/Dashed/Dotted style), and an optional label showing the timeframe (auto-formatted as "1H", "4H", "1D", "NWOG", etc).
When a zone is mitigated, the box recolours to grey, the lines either go grey or hide entirely depending on the per-source toggle, and the label flips to show iFVG status (e.g. `1H` becomes `1H iFVG` — NWOGs keep their `NWOG` label). Mitigated zones stay visible for as many slots as you allow, then get pruned.
Mitigation methods explained
For a bullish FVG (zone below price), the chosen method tests whether price has come back down into the zone:
Wick Filled (full) — bar's low has reached the bottom of the zone. Default.
Body Filled (full) — bar's close has reached the bottom of the zone.
Wick 50% — bar's low has reached the midpoint.
Body 50% — bar's close has reached the midpoint.
Bearish zones (above price) test the opposite direction. Mitigation triggers an alert if you've enabled it for that source.
Alerts
Two alert flags per source: entry (price first touches the zone) and mitigation (price meets the mitigation criterion). Alert text identifies the source timeframe, direction (bull or bear) and the price.
Settings, top to bottom
Appearance — bull / bear / mitigated colours, box transparency, mitigated box transparency, line width, right-edge extension (default 0 = right edge sits at the current bar; raise it to extend further right), label text colour.
Mitigation — single global mitigation method dropdown.
Chart — enable, box / line visibility, line styles, unfilled and mitigated counts, mitigated-lines toggle, label settings, alerts.
HTF 1, HTF 2, HTF 3 — same controls as Chart plus a timeframe input.
NWOG — same controls as the others, plus optional NWOG-specific bull/bear colour overrides.
Notes on usage
For NWOG live detection use a 1H or smaller intraday chart. On 4H+ charts the bar boundaries don't land on the 18:00 NY moment cleanly so new NWOGs won't form.
HTF FVGs appear on the chart at the bar where their HTF period closed, anchored back to the chart bars where the relevant HTF candle highs and lows occurred — this gives a clean "stepped" visual at the zone's left edge that shows how it formed.
The right edge of every zone tracks the current bar in real time. Set "Extend right beyond current bar" higher if you prefer a fixed runway.
PulseWire caps total drawn objects at 500 lines / 500 boxes / 500 labels. With three lines per zone enabled across many sources at high display caps, you can hit those limits — drop the mid line first (it's off by default for that reason) and you double your headroom.
Built specifically for the way I trade GC futures on the 1H. Sharing because I haven't seen another FVG indicator that handles all three of these together: holiday-week NWOGs, four mitigation modes, and independent box/line control per source. Feedback welcome. Indicator
Fair Value GapsFair Value Gaps (FVG) auto-detects bullish (+FVG) and bearish (-FVG) three-candle imbalances on any chart, any timeframe. Tracks each gap's state through its lifecycle and shows a real-time dashboard with active gap counts, nearest gap distance, and exact zone prices.
WHAT IS A FAIR VALUE GAP
An FVG is a three-candle pattern where the middle candle moves so aggressively that it leaves a gap between the wick of the prior candle and the wick of the following candle. Price often returns to fill these gaps before continuing — making them useful as targets, entry zones, or invalidation levels.
A bullish (+FVG) forms when the low of the current candle is above the high of two candles ago, with a bullish middle candle. A bearish (-FVG) is the inverse.
FEATURES
Auto-detects pip size for JPY pairs, other forex, metals, indices, and crypto — no manual configuration needed
Tracks up to 10 active FVGs per side with configurable minimum size filter to ignore noise
Auto-removes filled FVGs OR keeps them on chart greyed out (your choice)
Optional midline marker (50% mitigation level)
Configurable label limit so only your most recent active gaps are annotated — prevents chart clutter
Dashboard shows active count, distance to nearest gap, and exact zone prices
Cells highlight amber when price is currently inside a gap (mid-mitigation)
Movable dashboard position (six options) so it coexists with other indicators
Built-in alerts for new bullish and bearish FVG formations
HOW TO USE
Use FVGs as targets when price has left an unfilled gap behind — markets often return to fill them. Use them as entry zones when price retraces into a gap in the direction of the higher-timeframe trend. Use them as invalidation when price closes through a gap that should have held as support or resistance.
Particularly useful for SMC and ICT traders watching for liquidity sweeps followed by displacement into a fair value gap, then a retracement entry.
Pairs cleanly with the Key Swing Levels (KSL) indicator from the same author — KSL's dashboard defaults to top-right, FVG's to bottom-left, no overlap.

Intra-Bar Activity Index (IAI) [Adaptive Volume & Volatility]… is an adaptive percentrank-based analysis of Volume and Volatility (true-range). It dynamically toggles between request.lower_tf-reconstruction and cumulative lower_tf chart data (simulating continual ltf_request).
Core Features:
1. The Formula for True Activity
The IAI doesn't just measure price action; it calculates the energetic density behind every bar.
• Volume + Volatility = Activity: You have full control over how these metrics are weighted via individual thresholds. You can set a pure volume signal, a pure volatility signal, or any mix to your liking. Institutional engagement only becomes visible once your calibrated thresholds are breached.
• Individual Calibration: Through the ltf_request and percentrank, you define your own statistical benchmark and how "exclusive" a signal should be.
2. Adaptive Live-Mode (The Signal Bridge)
The system seamlessly switches to Live-Transfer mode as soon as you zoom into lower timeframes.
• Early Warning System: The Live-Tracker detects signals while the higher timeframe (HTF) bar is still forming.
• Hidden Signals: It uncovers activity spikes that would be "smoothed out" if you only looked at the final close of the HTF bar (e.g., H2).
3. Dashboard for Data Integrity (Data Honesty)
We visualize technical limits instead of hiding them.
• 🛡️ Verified: Live data matches the „historical baseline“.
• ⚠️ Warning: The Live-Tracker deviates statistically (e.g., due to Pine Script's 4900-bar limit).
• No Stat. Control: Transparent notification in Replay Mode when no historical reference data is available for your setup.
4. Intelligent Alert System
• In Live-Mode, you receive alerts as soon as a lower-timeframe interval (e.g., M10) completes with high energy, providing a lead-time advantage over the final HTF bar close
• Context-Sensitive: The message informs you directly about the current mode (HTF-Request vs. Live-Transfer) and the data status.
🚀 Quick Calibration Tips
1. Sensitivity: Increase the Lookback Period for more stable, long-term statistics; decrease it for a more reactive, fast-paced Index.
2. Threshold Setup: Start with 85% for both Volatility and Volume.
3. The Visual Check: Open the settings menu and activate the Price Chart Dots. Calibrate your Thresholds by observing the position of the dots until they match your market interpretation.
4. Dashboard Check: Always keep an eye on the Confidence Score. If it drops or turns red, consider adjusting your Timeframe or Lookback to maintain full Data Integrity.
🎨 Visual Guide: How to Read the Index
• Navy Bars (Normal Engagement): The market is healthy and active, but hasn’t reached "exceptional" levels yet. This represents standard participation.
• Gray Bars (Low Interest): Market is in a "Dry Volume" phase. Volume is below your Low Volume Threshold. Institutional interest is currently negligible.
• Silver/Orange Area (Volatility): This background area represents the Volatility Percentile. Even if volume is low, you can instantly see if the price activity (True Range) is expanding.
• Orange Bars (IAI Active): The "High Energy" phase. These appear only when both Volatility and Volume cross your individual thresholds simultaneously. (The bar height continues to represent the Volume Percentrank).
• Price Chart Dots (IAI Anchor): Optional orange circles that appear directly on your candles (High/Low). They provide a quick visual link between the oscillator's momentum and the specific price action.
⚠️ Important Technical Notifications
1. The "Signal Bridge" Logic (Rolling vs. Fixed Window)
• HTF-Request Mode (Fixed Window): On a H2 chart, the index measures activity starting from the candle open (e.g., 12:00 PM). At 12:40 PM, the calculation only includes the first 40 minutes of data. It grows as the bar progresses.
• Live-Transfer Mode (Rolling Window): On a M10 chart, the IAI simulates the H2 energy by always analyzing the last 120 minutes. At 12:40 PM, it processes the window from 10:40 AM to 12:40 PM.
• Early Detection: This provides a significant lead-time advantage. You detect institutional spikes as they happen, regardless of the official HTF clock. Both modes converge at the close of the H2 candle (e.g., at 02:00 PM).
2. Data Integrity & Timeframe Anomalies
The 5000-bar limit is not the only factor for "Data Honesty".
• Session Gaps: Using D1 as the Main-TF can be tricky in Forex markets, where Sunday sessions often only last a few hours. Such irregularities can cause statistical shifts depending on your Lookback Period.
• Action: Always monitor the Confidence Score (🛡️). If it drops, consider adjusting your Timeframe or Lookback to maintain a solid statistical baseline.
3. Replay Mode & Historical Gaps
• The IAI transparently displays "No Stat. Control" during Bar Replay if historical lower-timeframe data is unavailable for that specific segment. We prioritize data honesty over showing "estimated" or faked data.
4. How to set Alerts (Smart Signals)
To activate the IAI early warning system, follow these steps in the PulseWire Alert Menu:
1. Condition (1st Box): Select "pct_IAI".
2. Trigger Logic (2nd Box): Change the setting to "Any function call"
3. Frequency / Timeframe:
• The alert frequency is automatically managed by the script (once_per_bar_close) to ensure data honesty and prevent repainting.
• The type of signal depends on your chart: Use the Main-TF (e.g., H2) for final HTF-signals, or a Lower-Timeframe (e.g., M10) to receive the Live-Tracker early warnings.
Intelligence: You don’t need to type a message. The alert is fully dynamic—it automatically reports the Mode (Live vs. HTF), the Safeguard-Status, and the Data Integrity (Verified vs. Low Integrity) directly to your device.
📊 Understanding the Data Window (Statistical Transparency)
The IAI performs complex statistical comparisons under the hood. To keep the chart clean, these raw metrics are not plotted visually but are displayed exclusively in the PulseWire Data Window (right sidebar). They provide full transparency:
• Runtime-Safe LTF: Displays the analysis interval currently in use. If this value is red, the script automatically adjusted the interval to prevent a runtime error (e.g., if your chart timeframe is larger than your selected LTF).
• Max Safe Lookback for this TF: The mathematical limit for your current setup. It calculates at which point your Lookback Period exceeds Pine Script's technical 5,000-bar limit.
• Active Bar Limit: The actual usable data foundation. If this value turns red, your selected lookback is statistically "clipped" because not enough historical data points can be retrieved.
• Converted Sum of LTF Request Bars: This converts the historical baseline (HTF-Request) into current chart units. It serves as the anchor point for the comparison with the Live-Tracker.
• Relative Live-Data Size: The numerical basis of your Confidence Score. It shows the ratio between the real-time data stream and the historical expectation. A value near 100% indicates absolute statistical integrity.
• Overall Requested Bars: The total number of individual data points analyzed within your selected Lookback Period.

Trend Trader Pro - Dynamic Volume & Trend v1.0Overview
Pro Trend Trader is a sophisticated trend-following system designed for professional-grade execution across Equities, Forex, and Crypto. Unlike standard crossover indicators, this engine integrates Volatility-Adjusted Spacing, Momentum Exhaustion Exits, and a Dynamic Persistence Engine to provide the cleanest possible visual experience without sacrificing data depth.
The Logic: How It Works
The script uses a "Tri-Layer" validation process to ensure you only enter when the market has genuine participation:
Dynamic Trend Core: Utilizes a specialized 9/21 EMA crossover logic. It includes a "Fast Reversal Mode" that prioritizes immediate price action, allowing for quicker pivots during sharp V-reversals.
Volatility-Adjusted Spacing (ATR): All signals and labels utilize an ATR-based offset. This ensures that labels never clutter the price action; they move further away during high volatility and tuck closer during consolidation.
Momentum & Volume Confirmation: Signals are cross-verified against the MACD Histogram and Relative Volume (RVOL) to ensure institutional support behind every move.
Advanced New Features
Visual Precision Connectors: Every signal (BUY/SELL/EXIT) is linked to its specific trigger candle via a vertical dotted connector. This removes ambiguity, showing you exactly which wick triggered the execution.
Smart Persistence Engine: To assist with post-trade analysis, the script features a 15-bar visibility timer. After a trade closes, the entry labels, TP hits, and exit markers remain on your chart for 15 bars, allowing you to review the trade before the "Auto-Cleanup" scrubs the chart for the next setup.
Zero-Delay Session Warm-Up: A background calculation engine ensures that all indicators are "warm" and mathematically accurate the moment the market opens, preventing the standard "indicator lag" seen in most session-restricted scripts.
Sequential TP Scaling: Visual targets (TP1–TP6) unlock dynamically. The script tracks multiple Take Profit hits simultaneously using an internal array system for flawless management.
How To Use It
The Entry: Look for the BUY/SELL labels. The dotted line will point to the exact candle.
The Management: Watch for TP HIT messages. The script will automatically draw the next target once the current one is secured.
The Exit: The script triggers an EXIT signal when MACD momentum shifts, allowing you to lock in gains before the lagging EMA crossover occurs.
The Review: Once the trade is over, you have 15 bars (customizable) to see your performance before the chart resets.
Settings Guide
Label Visibility (Bars): Adjust how long the trade history stays on your screen after an exit.
Signal Spacing: Increase this value if you use many other indicators (like VWAP or multiple EMAs) to move the labels further out of the way.
RVOL Multiplier: Set to 1.2x for standard stocks; increase for more volatile assets like Crypto or 0DTE Options.
Moderator & Open-Source Note
This script is written in Pine Script v6. It features advanced state management using Arrays to handle multiple TP labels and uses a Global Persistence Flag to manage the delayed-deletion logic. It is a complete, original work designed for clean, institutional-style chart aesthetics. Indicator
