Lucky LinesLucky Lines
Mark the moments that matter — before they happen.
Lucky Lines is a clean session and time marker built for traders who structure their day around key time levels. Set up to 4 custom vertical lines at any time of day, in any timezone, and they'll appear automatically on your chart — past sessions and the next upcoming occurrence included.
No more drawing lines manually every morning. Set it once, and Lucky Lines handles the rest.
---
What It Does
- **4 fully customizable time lines** — each with its own color, style, width, and label
- **Timezone support per line** — set each line in LA, New York, Chicago, or UTC time independently
- **Auto future projection** — always draws the next upcoming line even before the session starts
- **Session history** — shows previous sessions so you can see how price reacted at the same time in the past
- **Fill zones between lines** — shade the time window between any two lines for instant visual context
---
How To Use
1. Enable each line you need and set the hour and minute
2. Choose the timezone that matches how you read your schedule (e.g. New York for NY session opens)
3. Add a label like **Open**, **London Close**, **News**, or whatever fits your setup
4. Optionally enable fills between lines to highlight key trading windows
---
Perfect For Marking
- Market opens and closes
- News release times
- Session overlaps (London/NY, Asia/London)
- Your personal trading window
- Pre-market and post-market levels
---
Why I Built This
Every day I trade around the same key times. I needed a tool that marks those moments automatically — clean, precise, and always looking ahead to the next session. Lucky Lines keeps my chart organized so I can focus on the trade, not the clock.
*Structure your sessions. Trade your plan. Stay lucky.*

No-Repaint Entry Score Multi-Factor Confluence [LunqFX]No-Repaint Entry Score — Multi-Factor Confluence
Most indicators tell you a signal exists. This one tells you how strong
it is, why it fired, and how long it has been holding — on every bar,
across every market.
One number: 0–100. Five factors. Zero repainting.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
█ HOW TO USE IT — 4 STEPS
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
STEP 1 — CHECK HTF TREND
Look at the SIGNAL section of the panel.
HTF Trend shows ▲ BULL or ▼ BEAR based on a confirmed higher
timeframe EMA. Only take setups in this direction.
Counter-trend setups are automatically penalised by the score.
STEP 2 — WAIT FOR THE ENTRY WINDOW
When score reaches your Signal Threshold (default 75), the panel
shows "✓ ENTRY WINDOW" and a green Entry Zone box appears on the chart.
Do not enter below this threshold — conditions are not aligned.
STEP 3 — CHECK THE CAUTION ROW
The panel always shows your weakest component.
Caution: Momentum ↓ → wait for a strong candle close
Caution: Session ↓ → wait for market session to open
Caution: Structure ↓ → you may be entering against the trend
Fix the caution before entering.
STEP 4 — LOOK FOR PRIME AND PERSISTENCE
PRIME label (score ≥80) = all 5 factors aligned. Best entries.
◆ SUSTAINED (3+ bars) → candles turn cyan. High conviction.
◆◆ ELITE (6+ bars) → candles turn gold. Exceptional setup.
The longer the streak holds, the stronger the setup.
STOP LOSS — place below/above the Entry Zone outer band (±0.55 ATR).
TAKE PROFIT — next confirmed swing level or session high/low.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
█ SCORE TIERS
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
◆◆ ELITE PRIME ≥80, held 6+ bars — exceptional, rare
◆ SUSTAINED ≥80, held 3+ bars — high conviction
PRIME ≥80, first bar — valid entry signal
GOOD 65–79 — quality setup, consider entry
MODERATE 40–64 — mixed signals, wait
WEAK <40 — avoid, confluence collapsed
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
█ READING THE DASHBOARD PANEL
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
ENTRY SCORE — composite score 0–100. Header color shifts with tier:
green (PRIME) → cyan (SUSTAINED) → gold (ELITE) → red (WEAK)
Progress bar — 8-block visual bar. Updates every tick.
Score ▲▼— — arrow shows if score is building (▲) or fading (▼).
Useful for timing: enter when score is rising, not when it peaks.
Tier row — current tier label. Upgrades automatically to
◆ SUSTAINED PRIME or ◆◆ ELITE PRIME when streak activates.
COMPONENTS — individual 0–100 scores:
Structure = HTF EMA alignment × candle direction
Proximity = distance from nearest swing pivot level
Session = trading session quality by hour
Momentum = candle body strength (body ÷ total range)
Volatility = ATR vs 50-bar average (filters dead and spiking markets)
HTF Trend — higher timeframe direction. Confirmed bar only, no drift.
Caution — your weakest component. One actionable reason to wait.
Entry — ENTRY WINDOW or WAIT based on your Signal Threshold setting.
Persistence — consecutive PRIME bar counter.
— = no active streak 3 bars = SUSTAINED 6 bars = ELITE
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
█ RECOMMENDED TIMEFRAMES AND MARKETS

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
█ ALERTS — 6 CONDITIONS
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
1. Prime Setup Detected — score enters ≥80
2. Good Setup Forming — score enters 65–79 from below
3. Setup Degraded — score drops from quality zone
4. Weak Setup Warning — score collapses below 40
5. Sustained PRIME (3 bars)— streak hits 3 consecutive PRIME bars
6. Elite PRIME (6 bars) — streak hits 6 consecutive PRIME bars
Set alerts to "Once per bar close" in PulseWire settings.
All alerts fire on confirmed closed bars only — no false triggers.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
█ HOW THE SCORE IS CALCULATED
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Score = weighted average of 5 components, normalised to 100%.
Weights are user-configurable and auto-normalised — they do not
need to sum to exactly 100.
1. STRUCTURE (default 30%)
Compares candle direction to HTF EMA(20) direction.
Fully bi-directional: bearish candle in bearish HTF = same score
as bullish candle in bullish HTF.
Aligned: score = 65 + (body ratio × 35), max 100
Misaligned: score = 5 + (body ratio × 25), max 30
2. PROXIMITY (default 25%)
Measures distance from the nearest confirmed pivot high or low
using ta.pivothigh/pivotlow (5-bar lookback) in ATR units.
Score = 100 − (ATR distance × 18), clamped 0–100.
At the level = 97–100. Far from structure = 0–20.
3. SESSION (default 20%)
Hour-by-hour quality score based on New York time.
NY mode: 08:00–11:00 = 100 · 03:00–05:00 = 88 ·
11:00–13:00 = 72 · 13:00–16:00 = 60 ·
dead zones = 25
London and Tokyo modes follow their respective peak hours.
Crypto 24/7 = flat 75 (no session bias).
4. MOMENTUM (default 15%)
Candle body divided by total candle range.
Full-body candle = 100. Doji = 0.
Filters indecisive wick-heavy candles.
5. VOLATILITY (default 10%)
ATR(14) divided by its 50-bar SMA.
Sweet spot 0.7–1.6 = score 100.
Too quiet (< 0.7): score scales down.
Too explosive (> 1.6): score drops sharply.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
█ NO-REPAINT — HOW IT IS ACHIEVED
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Three sources of repaint addressed:
HTF EMA: request.security(..., ta.ema(close,20) , lookahead_on)
The reads the EMA of the PREVIOUS confirmed HTF bar.
Locked until the next HTF candle closes. No live-bar drift.
Labels: all signals fire only on barstate.isconfirmed.
Never drawn on an open bar.
Pivots: 5-bar right lookback on confirmed bars only.
Verify: PulseWire Replay mode — bar-by-bar playback matches
published chart exactly on any historical period.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
█ SETTINGS REFERENCE
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Higher Timeframe — blank = auto.
Auto logic: 1–5M→30M · 6–15M→1H · 16–60M→4H ·
61–240M→Daily · Daily→Weekly · Weekly→Monthly
Signal Threshold — Entry Window fires above this score. Default 75.
PRIME tier is always fixed at ≥80 regardless of this setting.
Trading Session — NY · London · Tokyo · Crypto 24/7
Component Weights — all five individually adjustable.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
This indicator is a decision-support tool, not a trading strategy.
No backtested win rate or profit factor is implied or claimed.
Past signals do not guarantee future performance.
Always use a defined stop loss and proper position sizing.
Trading involves risk of loss. Use at your own discretion. Indicator

Phantom ChartPhantom Chart — Overlay Any Chart Style While Keeping Real Prices
Phantom Chart draws an alternative chart visualization on top of your existing chart — without changing the real prices your other indicators depend on. Most indicators and drawing tools read the chart's Open, High, Low, and Close, so switching your base chart to Heikin Ashi or another modified style quietly feeds them altered values instead of real ones.
Phantom Chart solves this: keep your base chart on Bars or standard Candles so everything else still reads true prices, then let Phantom Chart render whatever view you actually want to look at on top — Heikin Ashi, a clean line, an area, a baseline, a histogram, and more. You get the visual you read best, and your stops, targets, Fib tools, and other indicators all keep working off real prices.
Available Chart Styles
Candles
Bars
Heikin Ashi
Line
Step Line
Area
Baseline
Line with Markers
Columns
Histogram
Heikin Ashi Enhancements
HA is the headline use, so it gets dedicated tools:
Double Smooth — runs the Heikin Ashi calculation a second time for an even cleaner trend read with almost no noise. Flips are rarer but more reliable.
Strong Candles — highlights candles with no lower wick (strong bullish) or no upper wick (strong bearish), the candles that mark the heart of a trending move.
Flip Markers — a triangle whenever the candle color changes direction, so you never miss a turn.
Streak Counter — a live count of consecutive same-direction candles for gauging trend strength at a glance.
Candle Patterns (Candles / Bars)
Inside Bars — marks compression bars sitting fully inside the prior bar's range, which often precede an expansion.
Engulfing — marks bars whose body fully engulfs the previous bar in the opposite direction. Bull engulfing below the bar, bear engulfing above.
Baseline Tools
Crossover Markers — triangles at each cross of the baseline reference, the core baseline signal.
Fill To Baseline — shades green above the baseline, red below, so price position is obvious instantly.
Coloring Modes
Direction — each bar colored by close versus its own open.
Momentum — each bar colored by close versus the previous close, regardless of the bar's own direction.
Trend — colored by whether price is above or below its moving average, with an optional trend line.
Single Color — one color everywhere.
More Controls
Multi-Timeframe — render any higher timeframe on your chart, with an optional setting to show only fully-closed bars.
Volume-Weighted Opacity — fades low-volume bars and keeps high-volume bars solid so the heavy bars stand out.
Source Smoothing — optional moving average on the line-style sources.
Inverse Chart — flip the chart vertically for an objectivity check: would you take this trade if it moved the other way?
OHLC Labels — optional last-bar price labels.
Fully customizable colors, widths, wick visibility, and label styling throughout. Every enhancement is an independent toggle, off-by-default where it adds clutter.
Recommended Setup
For accurate visuals, keep your base chart on a standard type (Candles or Bars) and use Phantom Chart for the alternative view. If your base chart itself is set to Heikin Ashi or another transformed type, the overlay will reflect those transformed values rather than real prices — a built-in warning label appears when this is detected.
Tip
You can add Phantom Chart more than once to layer multiple views — for example a Heikin Ashi read alongside a clean line of real closes — each instance with its own settings.

Market MapMarketStructureLab - Market Map
Market Map is a visual market context indicator designed to help traders read the chart structure more clearly.
The tool does not generate buy or sell signals. Instead, it focuses on mapping the current market environment by highlighting important support and resistance zones, premium / balance / discount areas, projected dynamic trend lines, and a compact dashboard with simple market context readings.
The main idea behind this indicator is to answer a few practical questions:
Where is price trading now?
Is it close to support or resistance?
Is price located in the upper, middle, or lower part of the recent range?
Who currently has more control according to the trend context: buyers, sellers, or neither side?
How much room is there to the nearest support or resistance area?
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📌 WHAT THE INDICATOR SHOWS
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
1. Support and Resistance Zones
The indicator builds support and resistance areas from clustered pivot highs and pivot lows.
A resistance zone appears where price has previously reacted from above.
A support zone appears where price has previously held from below.
These zones are not exact prediction levels. They are visual areas where price has shown previous market interest and where traders may want to pay closer attention.
2. Premium / Balance / Discount Areas
The script divides the recent price range into three visual areas:
Premium area — the upper part of the range.
Balance area — the middle part of the range.
Discount area — the lower part of the range.
This helps traders understand whether price is currently high, low, or balanced within the recent market structure.
3. Dynamic Trend Lines
The indicator can project dynamic trend lines from recent pivot highs and pivot lows.
The red projected line represents the slope of recent highs.
The green projected line represents the slope of recent lows.
These lines are designed for visual structure reading only. They are not automatic entry or exit signals.
4. Dashboard
The dashboard gives a compact summary of the current market context:
Market — bullish, bearish, or neutral trend context based on EMA structure.
Zone — current location of price: support, resistance, premium, discount, balance, or middle.
Control — whether buyers, sellers, or neither side have the current edge.
Room — approximate distance from the current price to nearby resistance and support.
Focus — a simple note on what area deserves attention.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🧭 HOW TO USE IT
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
This indicator is best used as a market map.
It can help traders prepare before making decisions by showing the current chart environment in a cleaner and more structured way.
A simple workflow may look like this:
1. Check whether price is near a support or resistance zone.
2. Look at whether price is in premium, balance, or discount.
3. Read the dashboard to understand the current market context.
4. Use the dynamic trend lines to review the slope of recent structure.
5. Combine the map with your own strategy, confirmation tools, and risk management.

Multi Time Score IndicatorMulti Time Score Signal Indicator is a multi-timeframe scoring indicator designed for USDJPY on the 5-minute chart.
The script evaluates price position across multiple timeframes, including 5-minute, 15-minute, 1-hour, 4-hour, daily, and weekly charts. For each timeframe, it calculates where the current price is located within the recent high-low range and converts that position into a score. These scores are then combined using configurable importance weights.
A buy signal is displayed when the weighted total score rises above the sensitivity threshold. A sell signal is displayed when the weighted total score falls below zero.
Default settings:
Symbol: USDJPY
Timeframe: 5 minutes
Sensitivity: 10
Index Period: 20
5M Importance: 1
15M Importance: 2
1H Importance: 4
4H Importance: 7
1D Importance: 9
1W Importance: 10
The indicator displays buy and sell arrows, optional background coloring, alert conditions, and score values in the data window. It is designed for chart analysis and signal monitoring only. It does not place trades or perform backtesting.
This script is intended for chart analysis, backtesting support, research, and educational purposes only.

CVD X-Ray
CVD X-Ray
See the Participation Behind the Move
Most indicators tell you what price is doing.
CVD X-Ray is designed to reveal who is participating behind the move.
Price can rally on weak participation.
Price can decline despite aggressive buying.
Price can appear strong while participation quietly deteriorates beneath the surface.
CVD X-Ray was built to expose these hidden shifts in market participation by combining cumulative volume delta pressure, momentum acceleration, participation normalization, and multi-timeframe alignment into a single visual framework.
Rather than focusing solely on market structure, CVD X-Ray focuses on participation pressure—the intensity and direction of buying and selling activity driving the current move.
What Makes CVD X-Ray Different?
Traditional volume indicators often struggle with context.
A large reading may appear important on one chart while being completely normal on another.
CVD X-Ray solves this by normalizing participation pressure and classifying it into intuitive strength categories:
Weak
Building
Moderate
Strong
Extreme
This allows traders to quickly distinguish between routine activity and meaningful participation events.
Pressure vs Trend
One of the most common mistakes traders make is confusing participation with trend.
A market can be trending lower while buyers suddenly begin participating aggressively.
Likewise, a market can be trending higher while participation quietly weakens beneath the surface.
CVD X-Ray intentionally measures participation pressure rather than market structure trend.
This distinction can help identify potential continuation opportunities, weakening moves, failed breakouts, and early signs of accumulation or distribution.
Strength and Rarity
Each reading is evaluated based on both participation strength and historical context.
The optional percentile ranking (PCT) provides additional insight into how unusual the current participation reading is relative to recent market behavior.
For example:
P80 = Stronger than 80% of recent readings
P95 = Stronger than 95% of recent readings
This helps traders quickly recognize when participation is becoming statistically significant.
Designed for Clarity
CVD X-Ray was built around a simple goal:
Reduce information overload while increasing informational value.
The interface uses a consistent strength scale, visual participation hierarchy, and clean multi-timeframe dashboard to deliver actionable context without cluttering the chart.
Whether you're analyzing breakouts, pullbacks, reversals, or trend continuation setups, CVD X-Ray provides a structured view of the participation driving price.
Because understanding what price is doing is useful.
Understanding who is participating behind the move is often more valuable.
Disclaimer
CVD X-Ray is an analytical tool designed to assist in evaluating market participation and participation pressure. It does not predict future price movements and should not be used as a standalone basis for trading decisions.
All trading involves risk, including the potential loss of capital. Past performance, historical participation readings, and indicator signals are not guarantees of future results.

Current MTF Candle Footprint + FVG MTF| julzALGO📘 Summary
Current MTF Candle Footprint + FVG MTF is a multi-timeframe market structure and footprint visualization tool designed to display the live development of any higher-timeframe candle directly on lower-timeframe charts.
The indicator reconstructs the current higher-timeframe candle in real time, while simultaneously analyzing lower-timeframe volume participation to build a footprint profile, Point of Control (POC), volume imbalance statistics, and Fair Value Gap (FVG) confirmations.
Unlike traditional MTF candle overlays that only show OHLC levels, this script reveals the internal volume distribution occurring inside the active higher-timeframe candle, helping traders identify where buyers and sellers are actively participating before the candle closes.
📘 Features
✅ Live Multi-Timeframe Candle Overlay
✅ Current Higher-Timeframe Open, High, Low & Close Levels
✅ Real-Time Mini Candle Projection
✅ Lower-Timeframe Footprint Analysis
✅ Buy Volume Calculation
✅ Sell Volume Calculation
✅ Delta Volume Measurement
✅ Volume Imbalance Percentage
✅ Dynamic Footprint Table
✅ Point of Control (POC)
✅ Volume Distribution Nodes
✅ Adjustable Node Resolution
✅ POC Zone Highlighting
✅ Bullish Fair Value Gap Detection
✅ Bearish Fair Value Gap Detection
✅ MTF FVG Confirmation
✅ FVG Volume Imbalance Analysis
✅ Broken FVG Management
✅ Configurable FVG History
✅ Candle Body or Full Range Footprint Modes
✅ Automatic Volume Source Detection
✅ Multi-Timeframe Trading Confirmation Tool
📘 Logic
🔷 Multi-Timeframe Candle Engine
The indicator continuously reconstructs the currently active higher-timeframe candle using its Open, High, Low, and Close values.
This allows traders on lower-timeframe charts to monitor the live development of larger timeframe candles before they officially close.
Examples:
• Daily Candle on a 1-Minute Chart
• 4-Hour Candle on a 5-Minute Chart
• Weekly Candle on a 15-Minute Chart
🔷 Footprint Engine
Lower-timeframe volume data is retrieved and classified into buying and selling participation.
Buy Volume
• Lower-timeframe bars closing higher contribute volume to buyers.
Sell Volume
• Lower-timeframe bars closing lower contribute volume to sellers.
The accumulated volume is used to build a real-time footprint representation of the active higher-timeframe candle.
🔷 Footprint Nodes
The active higher-timeframe candle is divided into multiple price levels.
Available resolutions:
• 4 Nodes
• 6 Nodes
• 8 Nodes
• 10 Nodes
• 12 Nodes
• 16 Nodes
• 20 Nodes
• 24 Nodes
• 31 Nodes
Each node displays:
• Buy Volume
• Sell Volume
• Delta Dominance
This creates a footprint-style volume ladder beside the higher-timeframe candle.
🔷 Delta Volume
Delta Volume measures the difference between accumulated Buy Volume and Sell Volume.
Formula:
Delta = Buy Volume − Sell Volume
Positive Delta
• Buyers dominate volume participation.
Negative Delta
• Sellers dominate volume participation.
🔷 Volume Imbalance
Volume Imbalance measures the strength of participation by comparing Delta against Total Volume.
Formula:
Imbalance % = |Buy Volume − Sell Volume| ÷ Total Volume × 100
Higher imbalance values indicate stronger directional conviction from either buyers or sellers.
🔷 Point of Control (POC)
The Point of Control represents the highest-volume price level within the active higher-timeframe candle.
The POC may act as:
• Highest traded price area
• Volume acceptance zone
• Potential support area
• Potential resistance area
Display options include:
• Footprint Highlight
• Extended POC Box
🔷 Fair Value Gap Confirmation
The indicator scans a user-selected timeframe for Fair Value Gaps (FVGs).
Bullish FVG
Low > High
Bearish FVG
High < Low
Detected FVGs are projected directly onto the chart and continuously monitored while active.
🔷 FVG Volume Confirmation
For every detected FVG, the indicator evaluates:
• Buy Volume
• Sell Volume
• Delta Volume
• Imbalance %
This helps evaluate whether the liquidity imbalance responsible for creating the gap was primarily driven by buyers or sellers.
🔷 FVG State Tracking
Each Fair Value Gap is continuously monitored and managed.
Tracked states include:
• Active FVGs
• Broken FVGs
• Historical FVGs
Users can:
• Hide broken FVGs
• Display broken FVGs
• Limit the number of stored FVGs
🔷 Volume Source Detection
The indicator automatically determines the quality of the volume source being used.
M1 Source
• Uses actual 1-minute footprint volume data.
Fallback Source
• Uses candle-anatomy volume estimation when lower-timeframe data is unavailable.
The active volume source is displayed directly inside the footprint dashboard.
📘 Usage
🔷 Bullish Setup
Look for:
Bullish Higher-Timeframe Candle
Positive Delta
Strong Buy Imbalance
POC Holding Above Price
Bullish FVG Confirmation
This indicates buyers are controlling the current higher-timeframe candle.
🔷 Bearish Setup
Look for:
Bearish Higher-Timeframe Candle
Negative Delta
Strong Sell Imbalance
POC Acting As Resistance
Bearish FVG Confirmation
This indicates sellers are controlling the current higher-timeframe candle.
🔷 Scalping Workflow
Many traders monitor:
Daily Candle on 1-Minute Chart
4H Candle on 1-Minute Chart
1H Candle on 15-Second Chart
The footprint helps determine:
• Where volume is accumulating
• Whether buyers or sellers are controlling participation
• Whether Fair Value Gap confirmations support directional bias

[ A L P H A X ] ANCHOR Delta Volume Adaptive Entry EngineAlphaX ANCHOR — Liquidity-Anchored Trailing Stop System with Delta Volume Profile, Adaptive Band Scaling, HVN Confluence & 6-Layer Entry Engine
AlphaX ANCHOR is a professional-grade trend-following and entry precision system built around a proprietary four-band liquidity-anchored trailing stop engine that adapts to volatility in real time. Where conventional trailing stops use a fixed ATR distance and flip on any close beyond it, ANCHOR builds a structured four-layer band system that breathes with market conditions — tightening automatically during low-volatility squeeze phases and expanding during expansion phases — while simultaneously computing a delta-weighted volume profile anchored to the current trend segment. The result is a system that does three things simultaneously: tells you the trend direction with structural confidence, shows you exactly where the institutional volume is concentrated within the current move, and fires precision entries only when price returns to the outer anchor band within a qualifying 6-layer confluence environment. Designed for swing traders, position traders, and trend-following scalpers across crypto, forex, gold, and indices on any timeframe.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
⚓ The Anchor Trail Engine — How It Works
The core of AlphaX ANCHOR is the four-band liquidity-anchored trailing stop system — a structured set of concentric ATR bands that trail price in the trend direction, each band serving a distinct role in the trade management framework.
Band architecture:
Band 1 (Inner) — the closest band to price. Set at the base multiplier × ATR distance (default: 6.5×). Acts as the tightest stop reference — for aggressive traders who want minimal drawdown and are willing to accept more noise exits
Band 2 (Mid-Inner) — base + 1.0× ATR additional offset. The intermediate reference zone
Band 3 (Mid-Outer) — base + 2.0× ATR additional offset. Structural breathing room for normal pullbacks
Band 4 (Anchor — Outer) — base + 3.0× ATR additional offset. The primary trend invalidation level. A close beyond this band flips the trend. This is the band the confluence engine watches for retest entries
Trailing mechanics:
In a bull trend, all four bands trail price upward — ratcheting higher with every bar that closes higher, never moving down. The trail is one-directional: in a bull trend, bands can only move up; in a bear trend, bands can only move down. This ratchet behavior prevents the bands from widening on pullbacks — once a level is established, price must return all the way to Band 4 before a trend flip is triggered. This single property is what makes ANCHOR bands structurally superior to simple ATR trailing stops: they do not exit on noise, only on genuine structural breakdowns.
Trend flip logic:
A trend flip occurs when the source price closes beyond Band 4 — the outer anchor level. On the flip bar, all four bands immediately reset to the opposite side of price at their respective ATR distances. A ▲ ANCHOR BULL or BEAR ▼ ANCHOR label marks every flip on the chart, giving you clear visual confirmation of every structural trend change.
Heatmap visualization:
When the Trailing Stop Heatmap is enabled, the space between all four bands is filled with gradient color layers — progressively more opaque from Band 1 to Band 4. This creates an immediate visual depth map of the trailing stop structure: the closer price is to Band 4, the deeper into the "danger zone" the pullback has penetrated. At a glance, you can see whether a pullback is shallow (barely in the inner fill) or deep (approaching the outer anchor line) without reading a single number.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🌊 Adaptive Band Scaling — Breathing With Volatility
Standard ATR trailing stops maintain a fixed multiplier regardless of whether the market is in a squeeze or an expansion phase. ANCHOR solves this with an adaptive scaling system that continuously adjusts the effective band multiplier based on current volatility context.
How it works:
The current ATR value is percentile-ranked over the last 100 bars using a percentrank function, producing a real-time volatility percentile reading. Additionally, the system monitors whether Bollinger Bands are compressed inside Keltner Channels — the squeeze condition.
Three scaling states:
Squeeze active (BB inside KC) — multiplier scales down to the Adaptive Min Scale (default: 0.85×). Bands tighten. During a squeeze, price movement is compressed and the natural pullback range is narrower — tighter bands correctly reflect this reduced volatility and avoid giving back gains unnecessarily when the market is coiling
High volatility (ATR in top 75th percentile) — multiplier scales up to the Adaptive Max Scale (default: 1.15×). Bands widen. During expansion phases, price swings are larger and a wider band correctly avoids being stopped out by normal volatility noise
Normal conditions — multiplier stays at 1.0× the base setting. No adjustment needed
Dashboard readout:
The current adaptive scale is displayed live on the dashboard as a multiplier value (e.g., 0.85x SQZ or 1.15x) in real time, so you always know whether the system is in tight, normal, or wide band mode.
Why adaptive scaling matters: A fixed 6.5× ATR trailing stop is too wide during a squeeze and too tight during a volatility spike. Adaptive scaling means ANCHOR is always correctly sized for the current market environment — without any manual adjustment from you.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📊 Delta-Weighted Volume Profile — Anchored to the Trend Segment
The volume profile in AlphaX ANCHOR is not a standard fixed-range profile. It is a trend-segment-anchored profile — recomputed from the exact bar where the current trend began (the last Band 4 flip) to the current bar. Every time the trend flips, the profile resets and starts building fresh from the new trend origin.
What this means in practice: The profile always shows you the volume distribution of the current institutional delivery move — not an arbitrary date range, not the last N bars, but specifically the price levels where volume has concentrated since the institutional trend began. This is the most relevant possible volume profile for understanding the current trade's context.
Delta weighting:
When Delta-Weighted Volume is enabled (default: on), each bar's contribution to the volume profile is adjusted by the estimated directional bias of that candle:
In a bull trend — the bull volume estimate (close position within the high-low range × total volume) is used. Bullish candles contribute more weight to their price levels than bearish candles
In a bear trend — the bear volume estimate is used. Bearish candles carry more weight
This delta weighting creates a profile that reflects not just where volume occurred, but where directionally committed volume occurred — the levels where buyers (in a bull trend) or sellers (in a bear trend) were most active. These are the genuine institutional accumulation and distribution zones, not just high-activity noise zones.
Profile structure:
The profile is divided into a configurable number of rows (default: 30), each representing an equal price bin across the trend segment's high-low range. The width of each bar in the rendered profile is proportional to the volume in that bin relative to the maximum bin volume — the widest bar is always the highest-volume level.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📍 POC, Value Area & HVN Detection
Point of Control (POC):
The single price bin with the highest volume in the current trend segment. This is the price level where the most delta-weighted volume has traded since the trend began — the most liquid price in the current institutional move. Plotted as a solid purple line extending from the trend start to the right edge of the profile. The POC price is displayed live on the dashboard and is available as a take-profit target mode.
Value Area High (VAH) and Value Area Low (VAL):
The price range containing a configurable percentage of total segment volume (default: 70%). The value area represents the zone where the market spent 70% of its time and volume — the institutional fair value range for the current trend segment. VAH is plotted as a dashed yellow-green line; VAL as a dashed red line. These levels act as natural support and resistance within the trend — price frequently respects VAH and VAL on pullbacks before continuing in the trend direction.
High Volume Nodes (HVNs):
Local volume peaks within the profile — bins where volume is higher than both the bin immediately below and the bin immediately above. These are the institutional congregation zones — price levels where significant two-sided activity occurred. HVNs frequently act as magnets: price is attracted to them, and once reached, tends to spend time at them before continuing. Identified algorithmically across all bins, HVN levels are plotted as horizontal lines extending from the trend start, styled and colored by the configured settings. The highest-volume HVN receives a bold line and a price label.
HVN confluence scoring:
The confluence engine awards 1 point when either the current close or the outer Band 4 level is within a tolerance of ±0.35× ATR of any HVN level. An entry that fires at the anchor band while simultaneously sitting at an HVN level means you are buying or selling at a level where the most institutional volume has transacted — a genuinely high-conviction entry location.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
⚖ Trend Equilibrium — Premium/Discount Positioning
The Trend Equilibrium line is the midpoint between the highest high and the lowest low since the current trend began (the trendHigh and trendLow of the segment). Plotted as a purple dotted line directly on the chart.
This level serves as the dynamic premium/discount divider for the current trend segment:
Below equilibrium = discount — price is in the lower half of the trend segment range. For bull trends, this is the institutional accumulation zone — the preferred entry location for long positions
Above equilibrium = premium — price is in the upper half of the range. For bear trends, this is the institutional distribution zone — the preferred entry location for short positions
The Require PD Zone setting enforces that long signals only fire when price is in discount and short signals only fire when price is in premium. This one filter alone eliminates a substantial class of low-quality entries — those that occur when price has already extended far from the segment midpoint and the risk/reward is structurally poor.
Unlike a fixed-range PD calculation, this equilibrium adapts dynamically to the current trend segment — it is always the midpoint of this trend's range, making it the most contextually accurate premium/discount reference available.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🧠 The 6-Layer Confluence Engine
Entry signals fire only when price touches the outer Band 4 anchor level within a qualifying 6-layer confluence environment. Each layer votes independently. The default minimum is 4 of 6.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Layer 1 — Anchor Trend Direction
Awards 1 point when the ANCHOR system's current trend direction agrees with the signal. Bull signals require trend == 1; bear signals require trend == -1. This is also a hard positional requirement — the anchor touch condition itself requires a bull trend for longs (price touching Band 4 from above) and a bear trend for shorts (price touching Band 4 from below). The trend direction is therefore inherently confirmed by the signal trigger condition.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Layer 2 — HTF Bias
Awards 1 point when the higher timeframe EMA structure (default: 60-minute, 21/55 EMAs) agrees with the signal direction. The HTF condition for ANCHOR is stricter than in other AlphaX systems: the HTF fast EMA must be above the slow EMA and the HTF close must be above the HTF fast EMA for a bull vote — requiring both EMA alignment and price confirmation on the higher timeframe simultaneously.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Layer 3 — ADX Trend Strength
Awards 1 point when ADX meets the minimum threshold (default: 18). Confirms the market is in a genuine trending phase where Band 4 retests are likely to produce continuation moves rather than range reversals.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Layer 4 — Volume Delta
Awards 1 point when the estimated volume delta (bull volume EMA minus bear volume EMA) agrees with the signal direction. Confirms that the institutional order flow pressure at the anchor touch is directionally consistent with the trend. A Band 4 touch with opposing volume delta is a warning sign — institutions may be distributing at the level, not accumulating.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Layer 5 — Premium/Discount Zone
Awards 1 point when price is in the correct zone relative to the trend equilibrium level — discount for longs, premium for shorts. A Band 4 touch in the discount zone means you are entering at the outer structural boundary of the trend and the lower half of the segment range — the optimal dual positioning that maximizes risk/reward.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Layer 6 — HVN Confluence
Awards 1 point when the current close or the Band 4 level is within ATR tolerance of any detected High Volume Node from the segment profile. This is the layer that bridges the trailing stop system and the volume profile — when a Band 4 retest coincides with an HVN, price is returning to the outer structural boundary precisely where the most institutional volume has traded. The convergence of structural (Band 4) and volumetric (HVN) confluence at the same price level is the highest-quality entry condition ANCHOR can detect.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🏷 Signal Firing Logic
An ANCHOR signal fires when all of the following are simultaneously true:
Price has touched Band 4 from the correct side — low within Band 4 tolerance for longs (bull trend), high within Band 4 tolerance for shorts (bear trend)
The close is back on the correct side of Band 4 — close above Band 4 for longs, close below for shorts (confirming the touch was a retest, not a breakdown)
Confluence score meets or exceeds the configured minimum (default: 4 of 6)
Session filter confirms active hours (when enabled)
Signal cooldown has elapsed since the last signal (default: 8 bars)
Show Entry Signals is enabled
Live confluence display:
A small label near the current Band 4 level on the last bar shows the live bull and bear scores in the format B 5/6 · S 2/6 — updating in real time so you can monitor the confluence state without looking at the dashboard.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🎯 Exit Guidance System
ANCHOR provides two live guidance levels plotted as dotted circles on the chart when a signal fires — not hard mechanical exits, but institutionally informed price targets for use in your own exit planning.
SL Guide:
The stop loss guide is anchored to a configurable band (default: Band 4 — the outer anchor). The SL band can be set to any of the four bands depending on your risk tolerance. Band 4 represents the structural invalidation level — the trend has flipped if price closes beyond it. Band 1 is the tightest option for aggressive stop placement.
TP Guide (three modes):
POC Target (default) — the take-profit guide points to the current segment POC. This is the most structurally meaningful target: in a bull trend, a Band 4 retest entry with a POC target means you are entering at the lowest point of the trend's volume structure and targeting the price where the most institutional activity occurred. The POC frequently acts as a magnet — price is drawn back to it after pullbacks
Opposite Band — the TP guide points to the trendHigh (bull) or trendLow (bear) of the current segment — the opposite extreme of the trend range. Maximum trend extension target
ATR Multiple — a fixed ATR distance from the entry close (default: 2.5×). Simple and consistent across all instruments and timeframes

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🚀 How to Trade with AlphaX ANCHOR — Step by Step
Step 1 — Establish Trend Context
Check the dashboard: what is the Anchor Trend? This is your trading direction — only take longs in ▲ BULLISH, only take shorts in ▼ BEARISH
Check HTF Bias — does the higher timeframe agree? A bull Anchor Trend with bull HTF Bias is the ideal setup condition
Check the Adaptive row — is the system in squeeze mode (0.85x SQZ)? If so, bands are tighter and a Band 4 touch is more likely. Expansion mode (1.15x) means wider bands and deeper pullbacks to reach Band 4
Note the POC and VAH/VAL levels on the dashboard and the chart. These are your key target and support/resistance levels within the current trend
Step 2 — Watch for Band 4 Approach
Monitor the heatmap — as price pulls back from the trend high, it moves progressively through the Band 1, 2, 3 fills. By the time price is deep in the Band 3 fill and approaching the solid Band 4 line, a retest touch is imminent
Check the live confluence label near Band 4. Is the bull score at or near the threshold? If so, a signal may fire on the next bar
Check the PD Zone row — is price in discount for a long entry? A Band 4 touch in discount zone is the optimal entry scenario
Step 3 — Enter on the ANCHOR Triangle
A ▲ triangle confirms the Band 4 touch with qualifying confluence. Enter on the close or next bar open
Note whether an HVN level is near the entry price — an HVN + Band 4 confluence entry is the highest-quality ANCHOR setup
The SL Guide dotted line shows your stop reference. The TP Guide shows the POC, opposite extreme, or ATR target depending on your mode setting
Step 4 — Manage with the Band Structure
As the trade moves in your favor, watch the bands ratchet upward (bull) with price — your trailing stop is automatically rising
The POC line is your primary profit target in POC Target mode. As price approaches the POC, consider scaling out
The VAH level (bull trend) acts as the next resistance after POC — if price clears VAH with momentum, the trade has potential to reach the trendHigh
If price pulls back into the Band 3 or Band 4 zone again without a trend flip, this is a secondary entry opportunity — the same confluence check applies
Step 5 — Trend Flip Exit
A close beyond Band 4 triggers a trend flip — the BEAR ▼ ANCHOR label appears, the bands invert, and the volume profile resets for the new trend segment
Exit the prior trend position on the flip bar or the following open
Wait for the new trend to establish and a Band 4 retest to develop in the new direction before re-entering
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
⚠ Identifying Low-Quality Conditions — When Not to Trade
Stand aside when:
Trend flips are occurring rapidly — multiple ▲ / ▼ ANCHOR flip labels in quick succession indicate a choppy, oscillating market where the Band 4 trailing stop is being crossed repeatedly. The volume profile will be very short (few bars since last flip) and the POC will be meaningless. Wait for a trend to establish and sustain for at least 10–15 bars before looking for Band 4 retest entries
HTF Bias opposes the anchor trend — a bull ANCHOR trend with bear HTF Bias means the current timeframe is moving against the higher timeframe flow. Band 4 retest entries in this environment carry significantly reduced success rates
ADX ✗ on the dashboard — the market is not trending. ANCHOR is a trend-following system by design — Band 4 touches in ranging markets frequently result in immediate trend flips rather than continuations
HVN Count shows 0 — the volume profile has not yet built enough data to identify volume nodes. This typically occurs immediately after a fresh trend flip. Wait for the trend to develop more bar history before relying on HVN confluence
Adaptive shows 1.15x (expansion) and price is approaching Band 4 rapidly — high-volatility expansion phases can produce fast, aggressive moves to Band 4 and beyond. Reduce position size in expansion mode entries
Price is in premium for a bull entry or discount for a bear entry — the PD Zone filter will block these automatically when enabled, but if disabled, be aware that entries at the wrong side of equilibrium carry structurally poor risk/reward
The ideal ANCHOR setup condition:
Anchor Trend established for 15+ bars — sufficient history for meaningful volume profile
HTF Bias aligned with trend direction
ADX ✓ confirming a trending market
Adaptive at 1.0x or 0.85x (normal or squeeze — not expansion)
Price in discount (bull) or premium (bear)
Band 4 touch coincides with a visible HVN level
Confluence score at 5/6 or 6/6
When all these conditions align simultaneously, an ANCHOR entry is the closest to a textbook institutional continuation setup the system can produce.

🎯 Recommended Settings by Instrument & Timeframe
The default configuration is optimized for XAUUSD, major forex pairs, crypto, and indices on M5–H1 . ANCHOR is uniquely versatile — the volume profile adapts to any trend length and the adaptive scaling handles any volatility regime:
Band Offset at 6.5× — wide enough to avoid noise exits on intraday timeframes while keeping the trail structurally relevant
HTF at 60-minute — provides meaningful context for M5–M15 intraday trading
Delta-Weighted Volume on — directional weighting produces the most institutionally relevant profile on all liquid instruments
Value Area at 70% — the standard institutional value area definition used by professional volume profile traders
Session filter off by default — ANCHOR is designed for continuous multi-session trading on most instruments
For other instruments or timeframes, adjust:
M1–M3 scalping — reduce Band Offset to 4.5–5.5, reduce ATR Length to 10, increase Profile Rows to 20 for faster profile builds
H4 / Daily swing trading — increase Band Offset to 8.0–10.0, set HTF to Weekly, reduce Profile Rows to 15–20 for cleaner node identification, increase TP ATR Mult to 4.0–5.0
Crypto (BTC, ETH) — increase Adaptive Max Scale to 1.25 to accommodate wider expansion swings, increase Band Offset to 7.5–8.5
Low-volatility forex pairs — reduce Band Offset to 5.5–6.0, reduce Adaptive Min Scale to 0.80 for tighter squeeze-phase bands
Tighter signal quality — raise Min Layers to 5/6, enable PD Zone requirement, raise ADX minimum to 22
More frequent signals — lower Min Layers to 3, disable HTF filter, disable PD Zone requirement

🎯 Pullback entry traders — ANCHOR is specifically designed to fire at the outer structural boundary of the trend (Band 4) rather than on breakouts or initial moves. Every entry is a pullback-to-structure trade at the institutional trailing stop level
📡 Multi-timeframe traders — the HTF bias filter and trend equilibrium system create a natural multi-timeframe framework within a single indicator
🧠 Traders who want volume context with every entry — the live POC, VAH/VAL, and HVN levels provide immediate institutional volume context for every trade without requiring a separate volume profile tool
🔥 Visual traders — the heatmap, gradient fills, trend flip labels, and volume profile create one of the richest single-indicator chart environments in the AlphaX suite. Everything needed for a complete trend trade is visible on the chart simultaneously

📝 Notes
All signals are confirmed on bar close — the indicator is non-repainting by design. Band positions and trend state finalize on confirmed bars only
The volume profile is recomputed on every bar using the full trend segment history. On very long trend segments (hundreds of bars), this computation is resource-intensive. The max_bars_back is set to 5000 to accommodate extended trend segments. If you notice performance degradation on very low timeframes with long chart history, reduce Profile Rows or reduce the chart's visible bar count
The volume profile is rendered only on the last bar and redrawn on every real-time update. Historical bars show the band structure but not the profile rendering — the profile always reflects the current trend segment state
When a trend flip occurs, the volume profile resets completely. The first few bars after a flip will show a very short profile with minimal data — meaningful HVN confluence typically requires 15–20+ bars of trend history to develop
The adaptive scale is based on ATR percentrank over 100 bars. On instruments or timeframes with less than 100 bars of history, the percentrank may not be fully calibrated. This is a warm-up effect and resolves naturally as history accumulates
The session filter is off by default because ANCHOR is designed as a multi-session trend system. Unlike scalping systems that are most effective during active hours, ANCHOR band retests can occur at any time during a developing trend. Enable the session filter only if you specifically want to restrict entries to active trading hours on your instrument
The Trade Status section tracks position direction from signal to exit within the chart session — it does not connect to your broker or brokerage account

Hamppu - Flow EngineHamppu - Flow Engine is an open-source crypto intraday context engine built in Pine Script v6.
It is designed to help read market context, not to provide standalone buy/sell signals.
The script combines multi-layer RSI regime logic, RSI compression/release, WaveTrend-style stretch reclaim/reject context, liquidity sweep quality scoring, displacement after sweep, HTF with-flow / counter-flow classification and a dynamic MTF Flow Stack.
The goal is transparency. Markers are not magic signals. They are context events that help show when momentum, liquidity and higher-timeframe flow may be interacting.
Core features:
- Multi-layer RSI momentum regime
- RSI compression and directional release
- WaveTrend-style stretch reclaim/reject context
- Liquidity sweep quality scoring
- Displacement after sweep
- HTF with-flow / counter-flow classification
- MTF Flow Stack with selectable 3–6 timeframe slots
- Curated profiles: Balanced, Degen Fast, Conservative, Research and Custom
- Optional source labels for studying RSI / WaveTrend / Degen Fast marker sources
Visual language:
- Background color shows local RSI regime.
- Marker color shows HTF alignment.
- MTF Flow Stack shows broader multi-timeframe momentum context.
Marker guide:
- Triangle = early momentum reclaim/reject context
- Circle = momentum release after RSI compression
- X = compression release / compression ended
- Heart = Flow Context: sweep + displacement + momentum
- Orange marker = counter-flow / HTF disagreement
Profiles:
Balanced is the default public profile.
Degen Fast is a faster 5m/15m profile with early reclaim behavior.
Conservative is stricter and produces fewer context events.
Research is a looser exploration profile.
Custom is for manual tuning.
Important:
Balanced, Degen Fast, Conservative and Research are curated presets. These presets may override selected sensitivity controls internally, including sweep thresholds, cooldowns, compression tightness and confirmed/live behavior.
Use Profile = Custom if you want manual control over the visible sensitivity inputs.
Suggested workflow:
1. Start with Balanced.
2. Read the background regime first.
3. Check marker color for HTF alignment.
4. Use the MTF Flow Stack to understand broader context.
5. Treat markers as context events, not automatic entries.
6. Use your own price action, risk management and invalidation.
Alerts:
Alerts focus on main context events and with-flow reclaim/reject events. Not every visual marker has a separate alert. For more stable alerts, use bar-close alert settings.
Stability note:
When confirmed HTF is active, HTF Bias uses the previous closed HTF candle. Current chart timeframe values can still update while the active candle is open.

WT3D SpreadWT3D measures momentum on one asset. WT3D Spread measures relative momentum between two — and that's a different signal entirely. Set any second symbol as your reference; the oscillator runs on the spread between the chart and that reference. NVDA/SPY shows when NVDA is outpacing the market. GDX/GLD shows when miners are leading gold. Altcoin/BTC shows when an alt is decoupling. Same WT3D engine, different question.
Watchlist workflow: leg 1 follows the chart, leg 2 stays pinned. Arrow through your list and watch each name update against your fixed reference in succession.
Built on jdehorty's open-source WaveTrend 3D — full credit chain in the description (jdehorty, LazyBear, PineCoders, veryfid). Additions on top: two-symbol spread layer, anchor-lead tracking from the left visible bar, and an optional currency-debasement view using FRED T10YIFR with calendar-time inflation decay (so the math is right on any chart timeframe, not just daily).
Open-source under MPL 2.0. Feedback welcome.
█ TECHNICAL OVERVIEW
WT3D Spread takes a two-symbol spread — either subtract or ratio — and feeds it into the WaveTrend 3D (WT3D) oscillator engine. WT3D operates on tanh-bounded, quadratic-mean-normalised derivatives, which means the absolute scale of the input is irrelevant; only the rate-of-change shape matters. That property makes spreads a natural fit, because pair-trade dynamics, relative outperformance, and cross-asset divergence are all rate-of-change questions on relative price.
This script is not a re-skin of WT3D. The oscillator core is jdehorty's open-source WaveTrend 3D — credited and linked in full at the bottom — but the surrounding machinery is new and addresses problems the original wasn't built to solve.
█ WHAT THIS SCRIPT ADDS ON TOP OF WT3D
1. Two-symbol spread layer
A second symbol is selectable as an input. The script computes either close1 − close2 (Subtract) or close1 / close2 (Ratio) on the chart's timeframe and routes the resulting series through WT3D's normalisation pipeline as the source. Leg 1 is always the chart symbol and is read directly from `close` rather than through `request.security()` — one fewer security call and no exchange-prefix ambiguity.
Leg 2 is the reference you're measuring against. Common patterns: a broad-market benchmark (SPY, QQQ) for relative-strength against the market; a sector index ETF (XLK for tech, XLE for energy, XLF for financials, GDX for miners, etc.) for sector-relative strength; a single peer ticker for direct pair comparison; or a macro proxy (DXY, GLD, BTC) for currency or hard-asset framing. Because leg 1 follows the chart automatically, you can pin leg 2 to a fixed reference and arrow through a watchlist to rip through comparisons in sequence — each chart change reruns the spread, the oscillator, and the info table against the new chart ticker.
Subtract is the right choice when both legs trade at similar absolute prices (FX crosses, sector ETFs in the same band). Ratio is the right choice when prices differ by an order of magnitude (a $30 stock vs a $500 index ETF, or an altcoin vs BTC), and is also the more honest framing for "outperformance" — d(A/B)/dt carries a B term that doesn't cancel under quadratic-mean normalisation, so the signal genuinely responds to relative dynamics rather than to whichever leg happens to have the larger absolute moves.
2. Currency Mode — calendar-time inflation drag
Optional. When enabled, the info table shows the spread's real (inflation-adjusted) value alongside the nominal value, plus a running purchasing-power drag percentage. Inflation can be pulled live from FRED's T10YIFR series (the bond market's 5-year-5-year forward inflation expectation, used in preference to backward-looking CPI because the indicator is forward-anchored) or set manually for non-USD currencies or scenario testing.
The decay is calendar-time-based, not bar-based: pp_value at any bar equals (1 − inflation)^(years_since_anchor), with years_since_anchor computed from wall-clock timestamps. This matters because the conventional approach of compounding a daily decay factor per bar over-applies the drag on intraday timeframes (six 4H bars × one daily decay each per session) and under-applies it across weekends (no chart bars form while inflation continues). The calendar-time formulation works identically on 1H, daily, or weekly charts and correctly accounts for weekend and holiday gaps.
This adjustment is display-only and does not affect oscillator signals.
3. Anchor Lead tracking
Optional. Locks an anchor bar at the left visible edge on first render and tracks each leg's percentage return from that anchor onward. The info table shows which leg is leading "since anchor," by how many percentage points, and the underlying returns of both legs for context. Useful for separating long-baseline winners from short-term noise — the rolling lead/trend rows above answer "who's winning right now," and the anchor row answers "who's actually won over the period you've been watching."
4. Lead and trend analysis
Always on. Two rows in the info table summarise the current state of the spread: "Leading" identifies which leg is currently outperforming, measured against a 20-bar SMA of the spread and gated by a volatility-aware tie threshold so noise doesn't flip the label. "Trend" answers whether that lead is expanding, holding, or contracting versus five bars ago. Helps interpret the oscillator at a glance.
5. Info table
Theme-aware (auto-detects from the chart background, or force Dark/Light). Shows the two legs colour-tinted to match the bullish/bearish oscillator palette, the live spread value, the lead and trend rows, the optional anchor row, and the optional Currency Mode block.
█ READING THE OSCILLATOR
A bearish reading in this script is not a value judgment. It means Leg 2 is currently outperforming Leg 1 — exactly the same information as "Leg 1 is currently underperforming Leg 2," but the colour convention narrates one of those two readings and silences the other. Whether a red oscillator is good news for you depends entirely on which leg you own, are considering rotating into, or are using as a benchmark.
The green/red colour scheme is inherited from absolute-asset analysis, where in jdehorty's original WT3D red = bad makes perfect sense because there is only one asset and one perspective. On a relative-strength indicator the same colours code "which side is currently winning the spread," not "good versus bad." This is the central conceptual difference between WT3D Spread and the original.
Two pieces of the UI exist to keep this explicit. The "Above 0 ▲" and "Below 0 ▼" rows at the top of the info table show, in live tickers, exactly which symbol the convention maps to for your current pair — so the framing stays visible on every glance and you never have to memorise which colour means what. The "Leading" row further down names the actual winner in plain language regardless of the colour shown. If you want to soften the framing visually, the Use Mirror toggle in Signal Settings renders the chart symmetrically, making both perspectives equally weighted.
█ WHEN TO USE WHICH SPREAD MODE
The default is Ratio because it works universally. Stock divided by SPY, altcoin divided by BTC, a sector ETF divided by a broad-market ETF — all are dimensionless, bounded, and read as relative-strength in the conventional way. The oscillator responds to genuine relative dynamics regardless of how differently the two legs are priced.
Use Subtract instead when both legs trade at similar absolute levels and you specifically want the spread in raw price units. EUR/USD vs GBP/USD, two large-caps in the same band, two sector ETFs around the same price — Subtract gives you a clean dollar (or basis-point) reading. With unequally-priced legs, Subtract is misleading: a 2% move on the cheaper leg is dwarfed by a 0.5% move on the more expensive leg, so the oscillator ends up tracking the dominant leg's volatility rather than the actual relative dynamic.
█ WHAT THIS ISN'T
This is a momentum and divergence tool for spreads, not a statistical-arbitrage toolkit. If your workflow requires cointegration testing, residual half-life estimation, rolling hedge-ratio computation, or stationarity diagnostics, this isn't that. Use it for timing relative-strength shifts and spotting divergences within the WT3D framework, applied to a custom spread you've chosen.
Currency Mode is a display feature for showing real-value erosion against an inflation series. It does not feed back into the oscillator, and it makes the most sense when at least one leg of the spread carries fiat-currency exposure (a USD-denominated commodity, a currency index, a real-asset-vs-fiat pair). On a pure equity-vs-equity spread the Real Value row is technically computable but conceptually thin.
Anchor Lead locks to the left visible bar on first render. If you scroll the chart and want to re-anchor, reload the indicator.

Indicator
AcroTrail India Pro - By AcrofinsAcroTrail India Pro is a professional-grade trailing signal system built specifically for Indian markets — NSE indices, BSE indices, and NSE/BSE equities. Developed by Acrofins (Kiva Financial Services), it combines a high-quality trailing band engine with a multi-factor signal scoring system, full risk management levels, and India-specific session intelligence that most global indicators completely ignore.
What makes this different from generic trail indicators
Most trailing indicators give you a line and a signal. AcroTrail India Pro gives you a signal with a quality score, a grade, a risk/reward framework, and context about whether that signal should be trusted right now given the time of day, the market regime, and where we are in the expiry cycle.
It is built for how Indian markets actually behave, not how Western markets do.
Core engine
The trail is built on an ATR-based adaptive band with an EMA center. The band ratchets in the direction of the position, meaning it only tightens and never loosens during an active trade. Defaults are tuned for NSE intraday: ATR period 9 (vs the typical 14), a base multiplier of 2.0 for Nifty and 2.25 for BankNifty, and a 14-period trail EMA.
An optional adaptive volatility multiplier reads the 100-bar ATR percentile rank and automatically widens the band in high-volatility regimes and tightens it in low-volatility ones.
Dynamic Quality Score (0 to 100)
Every signal is scored across five components. The weights are not fixed. They shift automatically based on what is happening in the market right now.
HTF Bias checks whether the higher-timeframe trend aligns with the signal. On a 15-minute chart, it reads the 1-hour. On a daily chart, it reads the weekly. The score is graduated: full marks for alignment, partial for neutral, zero for opposition.
Volume confirms whether institutional participation is present. For index charts where PulseWire reports zero volume, this weight is automatically redistributed to regime and HTF so the score stays meaningful.
RSI Momentum uses a gradient rather than a binary switch. A strong trending RSI scores full marks. A marginal RSI near the 50 line scores partial. An opposing RSI scores zero. This prevents overbought long signals from scoring the same as ideal momentum entries.
Market Regime combines ADX, Choppiness Index, and linear regression R-squared into a composite 0-100 regime score. Trending markets score high. Choppy markets score low. This score flows directly into the quality calculation.
Breakout Strength measures how decisively price pierced the trail band, capped at 3x ATR. Clean decisive breakouts score higher than marginal ones.
Signals are graded A (75 and above), B (55 to 74), or C (below 55). You can set a minimum quality threshold to filter out lower-conviction signals entirely.
Smart auto-adjust weight model
Three layers work together:
The base preset differs by instrument type. Index charts redistribute the volume weight (unavailable) to regime and HTF. Equity charts keep volume as a full component.
The auto-adjust layer shifts weights in real time based on session context. During the opening volatility window (09:15 to 09:45), HTF weight increases and breakout weight falls because gap-open band pierces are unreliable. During the expiry last-90-minute window, regime weight rises because IV-driven choppiness dominates. In high-volatility environments, regime rises and RSI falls.
The custom override layer lets you set your own weights via sliders if you want full control. The dashboard shows a live weight sum check to confirm your sliders add up correctly.
India-specific session intelligence
Session gate. Signals are blocked outside 09:15 to 15:30 IST. No false signals from pre-market or after-hours data.
Opening volatility window. Signals between 09:15 and 09:45 carry a ⚡ warning flag. This is the highest-noise window on NSE, where gap opens, institutional order flow, and retail panic all collide.
Expiry warning. Tuesday is Nifty and FinNifty expiry. Thursday is Sensex and BankNifty expiry. Signals during the last 90 minutes of those days (13:00 to 15:30) carry a 🔔 warning flag. Signals still appear so you can make your own judgment, but the flag tells you to apply extra scrutiny.
All three flags can appear together on the same signal. The dashboard also shows a live session status row so you always know which context you are trading in.
Risk management
Four presets: Conservative (SL 2.5x ATR), Balanced (SL 1.5x ATR, recommended for index), Aggressive (SL 1.0x ATR), and Scalping (SL 0.8x ATR). All three TP levels are expressed as R-multiples of the SL distance so the reward-to-risk relationship scales automatically with volatility.
Break-even option moves the stop to entry after TP1 is hit, letting the trade run to TP2 and TP3 risk-free. For intraday options trading, consider disabling this as IV spikes can trigger the BE stop before the real move to TP2 develops.
Dashboard
A unified four-section panel shows live trade status (direction, grade, SL/TP levels, R:R gauge, bars in trade, session status), market context (regime with visual gauge, HTF bias, volume, RSI, ATR), active weights (live readout of all five components plus mode indicator), and session statistics (signals by grade, win/loss count, win rate, average R-multiple, break-even saves, position flips).
How to set it up
Set the instrument type first: Index or Equity. For indices, also select the subtype (Nifty/FinNifty, BankNifty/Sensex, or MidcapNifty). This drives the base weight preset and shows ATR multiplier guidance on the dashboard.
For Nifty on 15-minute charts, the recommended starting configuration is ATR 9, multiplier 2.0, trail EMA 14, Balanced risk preset, adaptive multiplier on, ratchet on.
For BankNifty or Sensex, raise the multiplier to 2.25 or 2.5 to account for the wider intraday range.
For daily chart swing trading on equities, use ATR 13, trail EMA 21, Conservative or Balanced preset.
