Summary
Entry-to-Exit Tool is an exit-resolution indicator that converts internally generated Provisional or Finalized BUY/SELL signals into retained entry references and then identifies where those references would resolve under a selected exit method.
The script does not require signals from another indicator. It contains its own causal transform-path signals, structural resolver, Provisional signal ledger, and Finalized signal ledger. The user selects which internally generated signal stage establishes the entry reference and which stage can later provide an opposite-signal exit.
Each retained entry reference stores:
direction
confirmation bar
confirmation price
retained terminal price
The reference remains active until one enabled exit condition resolves it.
Available exit conditions include:
selected opposite BUY/SELL signal
confirmed close through the retained entry terminal
fixed minimum-profit target
entry-terminal risk/reward target
Opposite-signal exits, terminal exits, fixed-profit targets, and risk/reward targets remain separate exit identities. The script records the exit bar, exit price, resolved direction, and exit reason without rewriting the completed record after later chart history arrives.
This is not a complete strategy or automated trade-management engine. It does not submit orders, calculate position quantities, reverse broker positions, calculate complete strategy profitability, manage a portfolio, or route executable instructions. Its purpose is to show structured entry-to-exit reference behavior from the script’s own causal signal records.
How it works
The script first produces two internally retained signal stages:
Provisional
Finalized
The selected Entry Reference Stage determines which signal stage opens a retained entry reference.
The selected Opposite Exit Signal Stage determines which signal stage can later resolve that reference through an opposite BUY or SELL confirmation.
These two stages can be selected independently.
For example, a user can choose:
Provisional entry with Provisional opposite exit
Provisional entry with Finalized opposite exit
Finalized entry with Provisional opposite exit
Finalized entry with Finalized opposite exit
The script then processes entry-reference events and opposite-exit events in chronological order.
When both event streams contain an event on the same bar, the exit-stage event is processed before the entry-stage event. This prevents the new same-bar entry event from being incorrectly treated as active before the earlier reference has had a chance to resolve.
Provisional entry references
A Provisional entry reference is established from an accepted causal transform-path-agreed BUY or SELL confirmation.
Provisional confirmation requires the candidate direction to agree with the stored causal transform-reference direction.
A retained transform candidate can confirm:
on its candidate bar
or on the following closed bar
The maximum signal confirmation delay is limited to zero or one bar.
When Active Path-Filtered Candidate Memory is enabled, a valid candidate that initially fails transform-path direction agreement can remain stored. It can later confirm on the first closed bar where the retained candidate terminal agrees with the active causal transform direction.
That later passing bar becomes the actual Provisional confirmation bar and entry-reference price.
A Provisional signal is earlier than a Finalized signal, but it has not yet completed structural finalization. It can still be replaced, superseded, or fail to become the retained Finalized identity of its structural swing.
Finalized entry references
A Finalized entry reference is established from a Provisional signal that survives the selected structural resolver.
Finalized identity requires structural completion of the containing swing.
The Finalized reference uses:
the retained structural BUY or SELL identity
the Finalized confirmation bar
the Finalized confirmation price
the retained structural terminal price
Finalized references generally occur later than Provisional references, but they represent the signal identity retained after structural resolution.
Structural events classify and finalize signal identity. They do not independently create the Provisional BUY/SELL signal universe.
Entry-reference behavior
Only one entry reference can remain active at a time.
When no reference is active, the next qualifying event from the selected Entry Reference Stage establishes a new reference.
The reference retains:
long or short direction
entry confirmation bar
entry confirmation price
terminal price associated with that entry identity
The script does not continuously replace an unresolved reference with later same-side entry signals.
A new entry reference is committed only after the prior reference has resolved and the script is flat at the reference-state level.
The reference is an analytical state retained by the indicator. It is not a broker position and does not contain position size or account information.
Exit Resolution Method
The user selects one of three primary exit-resolution methods:
Opposite Signal
Entry Terminal Break
Opposite Or Terminal Break
Target exits are controlled separately and can operate alongside the selected primary exit method.
Opposite Signal
Opposite Signal resolves the active entry reference when the selected opposite signal stage confirms.
For a long reference, the selected SELL signal is the opposite event.
For a short reference, the selected BUY signal is the opposite event.
The opposite event uses the stage selected under Opposite Exit Signal Stage:
Provisional
or Finalized
The exit occurs at that opposite event’s confirmation price.
An opposite signal that does not oppose the currently active direction does not resolve the reference.
Require Profit For Opposite Exit
Require Profit For Opposite Exit applies only to opposite-signal exits.
When disabled, every qualifying opposite signal can resolve the active reference.
When enabled, the opposite signal resolves the reference only when the raw-price return from the retained entry price to the opposite confirmation price is at least the selected Minimum Profit For Opposite Exit percentage.
For a long reference, profit requires the opposite exit price to be sufficiently above the entry price.
For a short reference, profit requires the opposite exit price to be sufficiently below the entry price.
This setting does not delay or block:
Entry Terminal Break
Minimum Profit Target
Risk/Reward Target
An unprofitable opposite signal can therefore be ignored while another enabled exit condition remains active.
Minimum Profit For Opposite Exit is a gate on an opposite signal. It is not the same as the independent Minimum Profit Target exit.
Entry Terminal Break
Entry Terminal Break resolves the active reference when a confirmed close invalidates the retained entry terminal.
For a long reference:
a confirmed close below the retained terminal resolves the reference
For a short reference:
a confirmed close above the retained terminal resolves the reference
The terminal is taken from the same signal identity that established the entry reference.
The terminal is not replaced by every later support, resistance, pivot, or same-side signal.
Terminal exits use confirmed closes only.
An intrabar move through the terminal that does not remain broken at the confirmed close does not create a terminal exit under this script.
Opposite Or Terminal Break
Opposite Or Terminal Break enables both primary exit conditions.
The reference resolves on whichever valid event occurs first:
a qualifying opposite signal
or a confirmed terminal invalidation
When Require Profit For Opposite Exit is enabled, an opposite signal that does not meet the profit requirement is not treated as a valid exit. The terminal condition remains active and can still resolve the reference.
Target Exit
Target Exit is independent from the selected primary Exit Resolution Method.
Available target modes are:
Off
Minimum Profit %
Risk/Reward
When Target Exit is Off, no target price is calculated and no target exit can resolve the reference.
The status table displays:
OFF when the target mode is disabled
n/a when no entry reference is active
unavailable when a Risk/Reward target cannot be formed
the calculated target price when a valid active target exists
Minimum Profit Target
Minimum Profit % creates a fixed target from the retained entry-reference price.
For a long reference:
Target Price = Entry Price × (1 + Minimum Profit Target %)
For a short reference:
Target Price = Entry Price × (1 − Minimum Profit Target %)
The reference resolves when a confirmed close reaches or passes the calculated target.
For a long reference:
the confirmed close must be at or above the target
For a short reference:
the confirmed close must be at or below the target
The exit label is recorded as:
PROFIT TARGET
This target operates independently from Require Profit For Opposite Exit.
The two settings serve different purposes:
Minimum Profit For Opposite Exit controls whether an opposite signal is allowed to exit
Minimum Profit Target creates an independent price level that can exit without an opposite signal
Risk/Reward Target
Risk/Reward creates a target from the distance between the retained entry price and the retained entry terminal.
For a long reference:
Risk Distance = Entry Price − Retained Terminal
Target Price = Entry Price + Risk Distance × Risk/Reward Multiple
For a short reference:
Risk Distance = Retained Terminal − Entry Price
Target Price = Entry Price − Risk Distance × Risk/Reward Multiple
The target is valid only when the retained terminal is on the correct defensive side of the entry price and the resulting risk distance is positive.
For a long reference, the terminal must be below the entry price.
For a short reference, the terminal must be above the entry price.
When the terminal does not produce a positive risk distance, the Risk/Reward target is unavailable. The script does not invent a target by using an absolute distance or moving the terminal to the other side of the entry.
The reference resolves when a confirmed close reaches or passes the valid calculated target.
The exit label is recorded as:
RISK/REWARD TARGET
Confirmed-close target behavior
Both target modes use confirmed closes.
The script does not assume execution at the exact target price when price crosses the target intrabar.
The recorded exit price is the confirmed close of the bar that first satisfies the target condition.
This makes target resolution consistent with the script’s confirmed-close terminal-break behavior.
When a terminal break and target hit are both visible during the same scanned bar, terminal invalidation is given resolution priority in the code and the event is recorded as:
TERMINAL EXIT
Exit identities
The script preserves four separate exit identities:
OPPOSITE EXIT
TERMINAL EXIT
PROFIT TARGET
RISK/REWARD TARGET
These identities are not merged into one generic EXIT label.
This allows the user to distinguish whether the reference resolved because:
an opposite signal confirmed
the retained terminal failed
a fixed percentage target was reached
or the selected risk/reward target was reached
Completed exit records retain:
resolved direction
exit bar
exit price
exit reason
Later chart history does not move the completed exit to a different bar or change its recorded reason.
Signal construction
The internal signal engine uses a causal transform-reference path built from loaded raw-price records.
The transform path is used as a mandatory direction-agreement source for Provisional BUY and SELL confirmation.
The script separately maintains:
raw price arrays
transform path arrays
close, high, and low replay arrays
Provisional signal ledgers
Finalized signal ledgers
structural event ledgers
The transform path and structural resolver remain separate systems.
The transform path confirms Provisional signal direction.
The structural resolver determines which Provisional identity survives into the Finalized ledger.
A structural event does not directly create an entry reference unless Finalized is selected as the Entry Reference Stage and the corresponding Finalized signal record exists.
Transform Path Capturable Segment
Transform Path Capturable Segment percentage controls the captured movement required by the internal transform-reference path.
It is used to retain broader directional legs and reject smaller path pivots.
The setting affects transform-path construction and therefore can affect which candidates pass mandatory path agreement.
It is not an exit target and does not define minimum trade profit.
Structural resolution
The script includes three structural resolver options:
Earliest Terminal
Original Grouping
Conditional Accelerated
Original Grouping is the default.
Earliest Terminal
Earliest Terminal follows the known-prefix earliest terminal chain.
It is intended to retain the earliest causally provable structural terminal under the solver’s rules.
Original Grouping
Original Grouping retains same-side structural candidates as a group.
A later same-side candidate can replace the retained group extreme before an opposite structural candidate resolves the group.
The retained extreme becomes the finalized structural identity when the opposite side completes the structural transition.
Conditional Accelerated
Conditional Accelerated uses captured-path potential after structural proof.
The Structural Capturable Segment percentage applies only to this resolver.
It does not directly filter transform BUY/SELL events or calculate exit targets.
Structural records are prefix-stable and are committed permanently after confirmation.
Structural path and signal context
The script can display:
structural change labels
structural resolution path
Finalized transform BUY/SELL labels
Provisional Candidate signals
failed or superseded Provisional signals
path-disagreed Candidate labels
current live Candidate
live transform-reference path
confirmed support and resistance
These context displays do not change the selected entry-reference stage or exit-resolution method.
Turning a display off hides the object but does not remove its underlying retained ledger.
Entry and exit displays
Entry Reference Markers
Optional Entry Reference Markers show where the selected Provisional or Finalized entry reference was established.
These markers are display-only and do not represent submitted orders.
Resolved Exit Labels
Resolved Exit Labels show completed exit events.
Each label includes the exit identity determined by the resolution condition.
The script limits retained exit labels through the Maximum Exit Labels input.
Older labels are deleted from the chart when the display limit is exceeded. Their removal from the chart does not alter the chronological exit reconstruction used to determine the current active reference.
Active entry level
When Show Active Entry / Terminal Levels is enabled, the active entry confirmation price is displayed as a blue dotted line.
The line starts from the retained entry-reference bar and extends to the right while the reference remains active.
Active terminal level
When terminal-based resolution is enabled, the retained terminal is displayed as an orange dashed line.
For a long reference, this is the price below which a confirmed close produces a terminal exit.
For a short reference, this is the price above which a confirmed close produces a terminal exit.
Active target level
When a valid target mode is enabled, the target is displayed as a green dashed line.
The line appears only when:
an entry reference is active
the selected target mode is not Off
and the target calculation produces a valid price
Minimum Profit % generally produces a target whenever a valid entry price exists.
Risk/Reward requires a valid positive entry-to-terminal risk distance.
Support and resistance
Optional support and resistance levels are derived from confirmed signal terminals.
The user can:
show or hide the levels
extend the levels right
keep or remove broken levels
change line width
control the maximum number of managed chart objects
These levels provide contextual market structure.
They do not replace the retained entry terminal used by the exit-resolution module.
Replay and chronological reconstruction
The script reconstructs the entry-to-exit state from historical Provisional and Finalized signal ledgers.
The selected entry-stage ledger and selected opposite-stage ledger are merged chronologically.
The merge is linear rather than repeatedly sorting the complete combined event list.
This allows the script to preserve event order while avoiding the unnecessary quadratic event sorting that would become increasingly expensive as the number of signal records grows.
For each historical interval, the script checks:
whether the active retained terminal was invalidated
whether an enabled target was reached
whether a qualifying opposite event occurred
whether a new entry reference should be committed after the previous reference resolved
The reconstructed active state at chart end determines:
current active direction
entry price
retained terminal
target price
last exit reason
last exit bar
last exit price
Same-bar event priority
When an entry-stage event and exit-stage event occur on the same bar, the exit-stage event is processed first.
This preserves the prior active reference’s opportunity to resolve before a new reference from the same bar is committed.
It also prevents a newly created same-bar reference from being immediately interpreted as though it existed before the opposite event that appears at the same timestamp.
Performance controls
The script includes:
Statistics-Only Replay
Maximum Replay Objects
Auto Limit Live Replay
Live Replay Bars
Statistics-Only Replay reduces historical chart-object construction while retaining internal calculations.
Maximum Replay Objects limits the number of displayed historical objects.
Auto Limit Live Replay and Live Replay Bars can reduce the amount of live historical drawing on large charts.
These settings primarily control display and replay workload. They do not change the configured exit formulas.
Status pages
The status table includes separate pages for:
Exit State
Signals
Structural
Support/Resistance
Alerts
Guide
Exit State
The Exit State page displays:
selected Entry Stage
selected Opposite Stage
selected Resolution Method
active direction
entry price
retained terminal
last resolution reason
last exit bar
last exit price
selected Target Exit mode
current target price
Target-price display behavior is:
OFF when target exits are disabled
n/a when no reference is active
unavailable when a Risk/Reward target cannot be formed
the formatted target price when the target is valid
Signals
The Signals page summarizes the internal Provisional and Finalized signal state and selected signal context.
Structural
The Structural page displays selected structural resolver information and structural event context.
Support/Resistance
The Support/Resistance page displays level configuration and retained level state.
Alerts
The Alerts page shows whether resolved exit alerts are enabled and whether the current reconstruction produced a long-reference or short-reference exit event.
Guide
The Guide page explains the main output identities and chart-line colors:
retained entry reference
selected-stage opposite exit
confirmed terminal invalidation
target resolution
blue entry line
orange terminal line
green target line
Alerts
The script contains informational alerts for:
Provisional Transform BUY
Provisional Transform SELL
Finalized Transform BUY
Finalized Transform SELL
Long Reference Exit
Short Reference Exit
Provisional alerts are generated from accepted transform-path-agreed Provisional events.
Finalized alerts are generated when structural resolution commits a Finalized BUY or SELL identity.
Exit alerts identify whether a long or short entry reference resolved.
The exit alert title does not distinguish the exact reason in separate alertconditions. The exact chart label and status-table Last Resolution field identify whether the reconstructed exit was:
OPPOSITE EXIT
TERMINAL EXIT
PROFIT TARGET
RISK/REWARD TARGET
Alerts are informational.
They do not contain:
position size
broker account information
order type
stop order
limit order
routing destination
portfolio instruction
or guaranteed execution price
Important behavior note
The script should be understood as:
causal in its signal confirmation
historically stable after closed-bar confirmation
reconstructed chronologically from retained signal ledgers
live-updating only for current open-bar signal and path context
Closed-bar Provisional signals, Finalized signals, entry references, and completed exits are not moved or reclassified by later chart history.
The current open bar can update only the existing live Candidate and transform-reference context inherited from the internal signal engine.
Terminal and target exits use confirmed closes only.
The tool identifies analytical entry-to-exit reference events. It does not confirm that a real order was filled at the displayed price.

Strengths
Self-Contained Signal Source — generates its own Provisional and Finalized entry references without requiring another script’s external signal input.
Entry-to-Exit Structure — converts internal BUY/SELL identities into a retained reference with a clearly defined entry price, terminal, target, and exit reason.
Stage Flexibility — allows the entry stage and opposite exit stage to be selected independently.
Exit Method Flexibility — supports opposite confirmation, terminal invalidation, or whichever valid event occurs first.
Independent Target Logic — fixed-profit and risk/reward targets can resolve the reference without waiting for an opposite signal.
Opposite Profit Gate — can prevent an unprofitable opposite signal from resolving the reference while leaving terminal and target exits active.
Identity Separation — opposite, terminal, fixed-profit, and risk/reward exits remain distinguishable.
Terminal Consistency — uses the terminal retained by the same signal identity that established the entry reference.
Confirmed-Close Stability — terminal and target exits do not depend on unfinished intrabar movement.
Chronological Reconstruction — historical state is rebuilt in event order rather than inferred only from the latest signal.
Same-Bar Ordering — exit-stage processing precedes entry-stage processing when both events occur on the same bar.
Performance-Aware Merge — merges already chronological signal ledgers directly instead of repeatedly sorting a combined event array.
Long and Short Symmetry — applies entry, opposite, terminal, and target calculations to both long and short references.
Visual Clarity — separates entry price, terminal price, and target price with distinct chart lines.
Context Availability — retains optional Provisional, Finalized, structural, path, and support/resistance displays.
Weaknesses
Signal Dependence — exit quality depends on the quality and timing of the internally generated Provisional or Finalized entry reference.
No Universal Best Stage — Provisional entries are earlier but less structurally resolved; Finalized entries are more confirmed but later.
Confirmed-Close Delay — terminal and target exits can occur later than an intrabar crossing.
Close-Price Exit Recording — the recorded exit price is the confirmation-bar close, not necessarily the exact target or terminal price touched intrabar.
No Partial Exits — each retained reference resolves as one complete analytical state rather than splitting into multiple exit quantities.
No Trailing Target — the fixed-profit and risk/reward targets do not trail favorable movement.
Static Entry Terminal — the retained terminal belongs to the entry identity and is not dynamically replaced with every later structural level.
Risk/Reward Availability — a risk/reward target cannot be formed when the retained terminal is not on the correct defensive side of the entry price.
Opposite Profit-Gate Persistence — an opposite signal that fails the profit gate is ignored rather than stored as a pending opposite exit.
No Complete Strategy Return — the tool does not calculate commissions, slippage, quantity, capital allocation, or portfolio equity.
No Broker Execution — displayed exits and alerts do not prove that a real order would fill at the same price.
One Active Reference — the script does not maintain simultaneous independent long and short references or multiple scaled entries.
Historical Reconstruction Cost — although the event merge is linear, the script still performs substantial transform, structural, replay, and chart-object work on large charts.
Parameter Sensitivity — transform capture, structural solver, entry stage, opposite stage, target percentage, and reward multiple can materially change results.
No Universal Profitability — structured exits do not guarantee that the underlying entries have sufficient predictive edge.
Who it’s for
This tool is best suited for:
PulseWire users who want an exit-focused companion to transform-based entry signals
traders comparing Provisional and Finalized entry timing
users studying opposite-signal exit timing
users testing retained-terminal invalidation
users testing fixed minimum-profit targets
users testing entry-terminal risk/reward targets
reversal and market-structure traders
users who want long and short exit references
users who want historically stable closed-bar exit labels
users who want one retained entry reference at a time
users interested in causal transform-path agreement
users developing an exit framework before integrating position sizing or routing
research-oriented users comparing multiple exit identities
users who want chart-based exit analysis without a complete strategy engine
Who it’s not for
This tool is not best suited for:
users looking for guaranteed profitable exits
users expecting the script to know the best future exit in advance
users looking for automatic broker execution
users requiring position sizing or account-risk calculations
users requiring partial profit taking
users requiring multiple simultaneous entries
users requiring dynamic trailing stops
users requiring intrabar target or stop execution
users expecting target price to guarantee actual fill price
users wanting complete strategy-equity reconstruction
users wanting commissions, slippage, leverage, or margin modeling
users expecting Provisional or Finalized signals to universally identify profitable trades
users seeking a complete operational transform engine with split quantities, portfolio state, or order routing
Known limitations
The tool is better at:
retaining a consistent entry reference
showing multiple structured exit conditions
distinguishing why an exit occurred
comparing Provisional and Finalized signal stages
visualizing entry, terminal, and target prices
and reconstructing closed-bar entry-to-exit state
than it is at:
predicting which entry will succeed
guaranteeing that a selected target will be reached
guaranteeing that a terminal exit will contain loss
finding the best possible future exit
or reproducing real broker fills
A fixed-profit target can improve consistency but can also exit before a larger move develops.
A risk/reward target can align the target with entry-terminal distance, but the retained terminal may not represent the user’s actual financial risk or intended stop placement.
An opposite signal can respond to changing structure, but it can arrive late or be ignored when Require Profit For Opposite Exit is enabled and the profit requirement is not met.
A terminal exit can preserve the entry identity’s invalidation point, but confirmed-close evaluation can exit beyond the terminal after a fast move.
These are structural exit references, not guarantees of favorable trade outcomes.
Final note
Entry-to-Exit Tool is a focused indicator for converting internally generated Provisional or Finalized BUY/SELL signals into retained entry references and resolving those references through explicitly defined exit conditions.
Its main value is not that it predicts the perfect exit. Its value is that it makes the exit framework visible and consistent:
which stage opened the reference
which stage can provide the opposite exit
which terminal belongs to the entry
whether an opposite exit requires profit
whether a fixed or risk/reward target is active
which condition actually resolved the reference
and where that resolution occurred on a confirmed close
The tool should be viewed as an entry-to-exit analysis layer, not as a complete strategy, broker-execution system, or guarantee of profitability.
It provides more structured exit information than an entry-only signal script while stopping before quantities, partial positions, portfolio state, order routing, and full operational trade management. Indicator
FVG Displacement & Fill Scoring [SlatinaTrades]📦 FVG Displacement & Fill Scoring — not every gap earns a box.
Most FVG tools draw every three-candle gap and call it a day. Chart full of boxes, no way to tell which one was actually worth anything. This one scores the displacement that created each gap, tracks its fill lifecycle bar by bar, then bins every completed zone into quartiles and reports whether the score actually separated the good gaps from the noise — on your symbol, your timeframe.
Bidirectional. Context only — no entries, no stops, no targets, no risk anywhere in the file.
THE MECHANICS
📐 Displacement score (0–100) — a weighted composite of gap size (in ATR), displacement-candle range (in ATR), and body/range ratio. Every weight and every normalization point ("gap ATR = full score at X") is a user input.
🔍 Measure-only probes — structure-break (did the displacement candle take out the most recent confirmed pivot?) and volume ratio (displacement volume vs. average) are computed, exported to alerts, and binned in the harness — kept out of the composite until they earn a place.
🚦 Regime, as a flag, not a gate — an HTF SMA direction read. It never blocks a zone from forming or scoring. It only tags the sample so the harness can slice regime-aligned vs. counter-regime.
🔁 Fill lifecycle — every zone moves FRESH → TAGGED → HALF → FULL, with an INVALIDATED branch. Box opacity fades with state so a glance tells you what's live and what's already resolved.
📊 Separation harness — completed zones get binned into quartiles by displacement score, and the table reports mean favorable excursion (ATR-at-tag units) per quartile against a baseline — with a minimum-sample trust flag so a 6-sample bin doesn't get read as gospel. Four slice filters (All / Regime-aligned / Counter-regime / Struct-broke / No-struct) let you test whether the score actually separates outcomes under a given condition.
🎨 Visuals — inline labels capped to the top-scoring live zones (anti-overlap nudge or cascade, optional leader lines), a 50% midline at the half-fill threshold, a callout arrow on the displacement candle, and a dashboard panel. Resolved zones stop drawing the moment they fill or invalidate — the harness still counts them, they just get out of the way.
🚫 Non-repainting — one request.security call, lookahead off. Detection, fill-state transitions, and alerts are all gated by barstate.isconfirmed. One honest exception: the regime read looks at the developing HTF bar in realtime, since it's a flag-only context tag, never a signal — worth knowing if you're auditing for repaint.
🔔 Alerts — FVG born, FVG fill change, FVG any event. Each carries a JSON payload (direction, score, state, structure flag, volume ratio, zone bounds, fill depth) for webhook consumption.
📐 Built for
Any symbol and timeframe where FVGs form — bidirectional, so demand and supply gaps are both first-class. Optional session filter narrows detection to a chosen window if you only want gaps born inside specific hours. Give the harness enough history to clear your minimum-sample threshold before trusting the quartile read.

Liquidity Sweep & ATR Envelope⚡ Liquidity Sweep & ATR Envelope
The market hunts stops. This tool shows you where it just happened — and whether price actually rejected the grab or kept right on going. 🎯
Liquidity sweeps caught at volatility extremes, confirmed by a real reclaim, fully resolved on the bar they fire. No repaint. No HTF trickery.
🔍 THE MECHANICS
📐 The envelope — an ATR band around a 20-period basis. It's the visual anchor on the chart AND the qualification threshold at once: the same measurement does both jobs, so there's no separate cosmetic ATR filter bolted on top.
🎯 Pivot + envelope, both required — a signal needs the wick to breach a confirmed pivot level AND clear the band plus a clearance buffer. Levels are one-shot: any wick through a tracked pivot consumes it, signal or not. Re-arms on the next confirmed pivot.
↩️ Reclaim, not just recovery — the close has to snap back past the swept level by at least half the wick's own penetration depth (adjustable, 0 to disable). A candle that barely creeps back over the line doesn't count as a rejection — the snap-back has to beat the sweep.
Levels are one-shot: any wick through a tracked pivot consumes it — signal or not — and the tool re-arms on the next confirmed swing. What you see is exactly what happened.
🛡️ Non-repaint by construction — pivots confirm after their right-side bars, and every signal, marker, zone, and alert is gated to bar close. A triangle that printed yesterday printed on that bar and never moved. What you backtest is what you trade. ✅
🎨 On the chart:
🌊 Hero ATR envelope with event-driven band glow — bands light up when price presses them or on a fresh sweep.
📦 Gradient sweep zones from swept level to wick extreme — historical signals legible at a glance.
👣 Swept-history footprints so you can read where liquidity already got taken.
🎛️ 8 themes (Suite, Ocean, Royal, Ember, Mono, Frost + full Custom), optional bar tint, trigger-threshold line, compact status table.
🔔 Clean JSON alerts (direction / level / trigger) — wire it straight into your automation.
⏱️ Timeframe notes — single-timeframe and scale-free. Every threshold is measured in ATR or as an intra-bar ratio, so it ports across instruments and timeframes with zero rescaling. Defaults are tuned on H1 and carry to M15 unchanged — comparable signal frequency and reclaim quality on both. On H4 and above the setup is rarer by nature; drop Pivot Left/Right to 3 if you want more events there. Read every signal as liquidity-location context, not a standalone entry — pair it with your structure read (or Confluence Context, regime/confluence indicator on my profile) for direction. 🧭
📈 How to use it — the tool tells you where the market just swept liquidity and rejected. Stack it with structure.
Built to one standard: still useful after it's been on your chart for a while. Indicator
Session Runway & Volatility Expansion Matrix🛫 Session Runway & Volatility Expansion Matrix — runway isn't one number. It's two, and they fail for different reasons.
Most session/exhaustion tools give you a single verdict: room left, or not. But a trade can run out of space (price already covered its expected range) or run out of time (the session's ending) — and those call for opposite responses. One says wait, the other says stand down. This tool splits them so you know which one you're looking at.
WHAT'S UNDER THE HOOD
📏 Average Session Range engine — one continuous London-open→NY-close envelope per day (single anchor, DST-safe via timezone-aware session windows). Realized range from the last N valid sessions feeds a rolling average; a completeness gate throws out holiday/half-day pollution before it can skew the number.
📐 Space axis — Ceiling = sessionLow + m·ASR, Floor = sessionHigh − m·ASR. Each edge freezes the instant a confirmed close breaks it, so "+N beyond" measures real travel past the edge, not drift from the opposite extreme still extending.
⏳ Time axis — not a straight-line clock. Session range accrues early (London/NY opens), so achievable distance = 1 − elapsed^p: late-session minutes buy less runway than their share of the clock implies. A structural gate also suppresses false time-outs in the two windows where a fresh range burst is still ahead of price (pre-NY, and NY's own fill-window) — this is about where orders fill, not a forecast.
📊 The 2×2 verdict
🟩 CLEAR — SPACE ok + TIME ok → room in both; green light to look for an entry on your system
🟨 TIME LOW — SPACE ok + TIME running out
🟨 EXHAUSTED — range spent + TIME still ok
🟥 NO RUNWAY — both gone; a fresh trade likely can't reach target
🔁 Regime split — directional efficiency (net session displacement ÷ realized range, signed) separates ROTATION days, where the ASR-exhaustion read holds, from EXPANSION (trend) days, where a broken edge stops being a danger zone and flips into a trend-continuation reference instead. The 2×2 stands down on expansion days and a separate flag takes over, so the tool never fights a trend day with a rotation-day read.
🧭 H4 direction gate (optional, non-repainting) — decides which side of the matrix is live.
WHY THIS IS ONE TOOL, NOT FOUR
Space, time, direction and regime aren't independent in practice — a space-based verdict on a trend day is backwards, and a time-axis read that ignores which side is live tells you nothing. Fusing them is the point: the matrix exists to resolve how these four interact into a single session-native verdict, which is exactly the reconciliation you'd otherwise have to do by hand, every session, on every chart.
🔔 Alerts — Runway Clear and Low Runway (rotation-gated, so they never fire against a trend day), plus a separate Expansion Day flag for the regime flip. All confirmed-bar. Payload carries runway in pips, % ASR consumed, and % session elapsed.
📐 Built for FX majors and crosses that trade the London and New York sessions — EURUSD, GBPUSD, USDJPY, AUDUSD, NZDUSD, USDCAD, USDCHF, EURGBP, EURJPY, GBPJPY and similar. JPY pip sizing is automatic. It also runs on metals (e.g. XAUUSD) and indices/futures, which read in ticks — set the Pip size override to your instrument's real pip/tick for correct numbers, and note that in Fixed-pips target mode this override sets the actual target distance, not just the displayed numbers, so metals/index users on Fixed mode should set it. Designed for the M5 to H1 timeframes.
Indicators that pass the "still useful after it's been on your chart a while" test — every read maps to a decision, no decoration.

ATR Trend Rail🚦 ATR Trend Rail — a trend rail that knows when to shut up.
Most ATR / SuperTrend clones flip you into every chop-fest, then repaint the "perfect" entry after the candle closes. This one doesn't. It runs on a single idea: a trailing ATR band is only worth trading when the market regime agrees with it. 🎯
WHAT'S UNDER THE HOOD
📐 The rail — a trailing ATR band that latches trend state and rides price until volatility says the move is done. Adaptive, clean, no lag-heavy MA soup.
🧭 Regime filter (the whole point) — every flip is gated against a regime SMA. Leave it on your chart timeframe, or point it at an HTF for a top-down bias. Wrong side of regime? The signal never fires. This is the piece most trend tools skip entirely.
🚫 Non-repainting, for real — flips confirm on closed bars only, the regime pull runs lookahead-off with a realtime offset, and each leg's regime status locks the moment the flip bar closes. What you see in replay is what you'd have traded live. No hindsight magic.
🌫️ Faded legs — trends that fire against regime don't disappear, they dim. You still see the move; you just know it didn't earn a signal. Context, not censorship.
🔔 Alerts that behave — Bull, Bear, and Flip, confirmed-bar only. Set them once and trust them.
READ IT IN ONE GLANCE
🟢 Bright rail under price → confirmed uptrend, regime agrees
🔴 Bright rail over price → confirmed downtrend, regime agrees
⚪ Faded rail → the move exists, regime says wait
🔺 Triangle + Bull / Bear tag → a flip that passed the gate
Still useful after it's been on your chart a while. 🚦

Market Regime & Risk DashboardAn analytics and risk dashboard. It tells you what state the market is in and how much to risk. It does NOT generate buy or sell signals and makes no claim of edge.
What it shows
- Volatility regime: realized volatility bucketed by its own percentile history (Low / Normal / High / Extreme)
- Realized volatility and its percentile rank
- Trend regime: Kaufman Efficiency Ratio bucketed into Trending / Mixed / Choppy
- ATR % of price, an ATR-based stop distance, and a fixed-fractional position size for your chosen risk percent
- Drawdown from the recent high
How to read it
Volatility regime drives position sizing: in Extreme regimes the same percent risk implies a far smaller position, and the dashboard does that maths for you. The trend regime is descriptive, not predictive.
Honest by design
- No buy/sell signals, no alpha claim. This is a measurement tool, not a prediction.
- Non-repainting: every value is a function of confirmed closes, no request.security, no future data. The current forming bar updates in real time, which is normal, not historical repaint.
- Every number is defined, with its limitations stated.

Buy/Sell Pressure Meter [AGPro Series]Buy/Sell Pressure Meter
🔹 Overview
Buy/Sell Pressure Meter is a volume-flow analytics tool that quantifies the tug-of-war between buyers and sellers on every bar and on a rolling basis. Unlike traditional volume delta indicators that only plot raw bar-level buy minus sell, this tool layers four complementary lenses into a single oscillator: rolling pressure trend, imbalance streak tracking, intraday pressure shift count, and session-accumulated dominance. A subtle price-pane background tint gives a Bookmap-light read on intraday participation that works across crypto, futures, and liquid equities — without requiring tick-level order flow data.
🔹 Unique Edge
Most volume-delta scripts answer the question "which side was bigger on this bar?" This one answers a different, more useful question for intraday traders: "who has been in control, and how stable is that control?"
• Rolling Pressure Trend — a moving average of buy and sell pressure separately (dual histogram), so you see structural bias, not just bar-to-bar noise.
• Imbalance Streak Tracking — counts consecutive same-side dominant bars and labels only the final length of each significant streak at the moment the streak breaks. No per-bar label spam, one clean marker per event.
• Intraday Pressure Shift Count — how many times the rolling dominant side has flipped since session open. High shift count = rotational day. Low shift count = trending day.
• Session-Accumulated Net Delta — cumulative bull vs bear contribution since the day began, independent of the rolling window.
• Price-Pane Bookmap-Light Tint — a very high-transparency background tint paints the main chart pane when one side is rolling-dominant, so you see control visually without leaving the price chart.
These five lenses together are deliberately designed not to overlap with raw volume-delta or cumulative-volume-delta indicators. They describe the character of participation, not just its magnitude.
🔹 Methodology
Because standard chart data does not include true tick-level order flow, this script uses a widely-accepted proxy: up-bar volume is attributed to buy pressure, down-bar volume to sell pressure, and doji volume is split evenly. This is explicitly a simulated bias — not real bid/ask flow — and the script labels it as such in the panel.
From that proxy:
1. Current-bar bull pressure percentage = buyPressure / (buyPressure + sellPressure) × 100.
2. Rolling pressure = SMA of buy and sell pressure over the user-defined window (default 20 bars).
3. A bar is classified bull-dominant when its bull pressure percent exceeds the dominance threshold (default 55%), and bear-dominant at the mirror level.
4. Streaks count consecutive bars of the same classification and reset when a neutral or opposite bar prints. Peak length is captured at the moment of reset and optionally labelled on chart.
5. Pressure shifts compare the current rolling dominant side against the last confirmed non-neutral dominant side; a change increments the intraday shift counter (only on intraday timeframes).
6. Session delta is the cumulative net delta since the last daily rollover.
🔹 Signals & States
• Dual histogram — buy pressure (teal, upward) and sell pressure (pink, downward) plotted as rolling averages.
• Net delta center line — accent-colored line showing rolling buy minus sell.
• Price-pane background tint — subtle teal or pink when one side is rolling-dominant, gives a Bookmap-light feel without obscuring candles.
• Oscillator-pane echo tint — even more subtle tint mirroring the dominant side in the indicator pane.
• Shift markers — triangles on the pane when the dominant side flips.
• Streak peak labels — plotted only at streak termination, showing final length (e.g. "Bull 7").
• Alerts — pressure shift to bull, pressure shift to bear, bull imbalance streak, bear imbalance streak.
🔹 Key Inputs
Calculation:
• Rolling Pressure Length — default 20. Higher = smoother, slower reaction.
• Minimum Streak To Highlight — default 3. Used for alerts.
• Dominance Threshold — default 55%. Share of total pressure needed to classify a bar as dominant.
Visuals:
• Tint Price Pane On Dominance — toggles the Bookmap-light effect on the main chart.
• Show Streak Peak Labels + Minimum Streak Length To Label (default 5) — controls chart cleanliness.
• Show Pressure Shift Events — triangle markers on shifts.
• Background Tint Transparency — default 94, adjustable 80-99.
Panel:
• Panel Location, Theme (Dark / Light), Font Size, Label Font Size — all default to Normal and fully configurable.
🔹 How To Use
This is an analytical tool, not a standalone trading system. Typical use cases:
• Confirmation — when price breaks a structure level while the rolling net delta is strongly in the break direction and a streak is in progress, the break has participation behind it.
• Exhaustion — a long bull streak peak followed by a rolling shift to bear, or vice versa, often marks the end of the current impulse.
• Regime read — a day with many intraday pressure shifts is rotational; a day with 0-1 shifts is directional. Adjust your playbook accordingly.
• Companion to S/R, supply/demand, and volume profile tools — use the streak peak and shift events as a participation filter when price interacts with a zone.
Best results on liquid instruments with meaningful bar-to-bar volume variation. Low-volume illiquid tickers produce noisier readings.
🔹 Limitations & Transparency
• The buy vs sell attribution is a proxy derived from bar direction and bar volume. It is not real order flow, Level 2, or tick data. Bookmap, CVD from exchange feeds, and footprint tools access information that bar-level scripts structurally cannot replicate.
• On instruments or timeframes where many bars close near their open (doji-heavy regimes), proxy-based attribution becomes less informative.
• The intraday shift counter is only meaningful on intraday timeframes; on daily-and-above timeframes the panel explicitly shows this as n/a.
• The script is non-repainting on closed bars. Intrabar values update in real time and may change until the bar confirms.
• Pressure shifts and streaks describe past and current state. They are not predictions of future price.

Realtime Non-Repaint Percentage-Reversal Path
Short title:
RT NR Path
Summary
Realtime Non-Repaint Path is a standalone path-visualization and path-state script designed to show live non-repainting directional path structure and a simplified hidden path reveal. It uses a percentage-reversal path model to classify live path direction, maintain a live anchor/candidate structure, draw a live eased path, rebuild a simplified hidden path from reversal pivots, and display state labels, alerts, and a compact status table. Its strongest advantages are live path clarity, non-repainting state transitions on closed bars, simpler path interpretation, and visual structure that can complement entry-focused scripts. Its main known weakness is that it is not a full trading engine: it does not perform full pivot confirmation, trade management, advanced filtering, replay-state reconstruction, or broader regime/stat handling.
This script is best understood as a path-focused operational visualization and state-classification script rather than a complete trading engine. It is designed to be useful on its own while remaining simple enough to inspect, test, and modify.
How it works
The script begins with a simple percentage-reversal path model. It tracks a live anchor price, a live candidate extreme, and a current live path direction. When price moves far enough away from the current anchor by the user-defined reversal percentage, a live directional path is established. As long as price continues making new extremes in that direction, the live candidate continues updating. When price reverses enough from that candidate extreme by the same percentage threshold, the live path flips and a new anchor/candidate cycle begins.
The displayed live path is not drawn as a raw straight jump between points. Instead, it is eased between the current live anchor and live candidate so that the path remains visually readable while still staying tied to the current live state model. Because the live state is updated bar by bar using only information available so far, the live path is intended to function as a non-repainting path-state view on closed bars rather than as a hindsight-only reconstruction.
In addition to the live path, the script can also reveal a simplified hidden path. That hidden path is rebuilt from percentage-reversal pivots over a user-defined recent history window. It detects reversal pivots using the same percentage-reversal logic and then draws an eased pivot-to-pivot hidden path across the selected history range. This keeps the script path-focused, visually useful, and easier to interpret.
The script also displays optional confirmed turn labels, a last-bar live state label, path-up/path-down alerts, background coloring based on current path direction, and a compact status table showing the current live state, anchor, candidate, and percentage distances. These features make it useful as a visual path-state companion script rather than as a full signal-and-execution engine.
Path model note
This script’s path model is based on percentage reversal. That makes it intentionally simpler and easier to understand, but it also means it does not attempt to replicate the broader complexity of a full trading engine. The hidden path shown here should be interpreted as a simplified path reveal, not as a complete trade-selection or execution model.

User-defined percentage reversal threshold
Live anchor and candidate path structure
Eased live path display
Simplified hidden path reveal over recent history

Strengths
Path Clarity edge — provides a cleaner live view of path direction than raw candles alone.
Non-Repainting State edge — live path direction and flips are based on the current bar-by-bar percentage-reversal model rather than hindsight-only reconstruction.
Simplicity edge — simpler structure makes it easier to inspect, test, and modify.
Companion Script edge — pairs naturally with entry-oriented scripts by showing whether path direction is currently up, down, or neutral.
Visual Structure edge — live path, hidden path, labels, background, and status table make path structure easier to read quickly.
Interpretability edge — the script is straightforward enough to be useful as both a live visual aid and a path-study tool.
Weaknesses
Not a full trading engine weakness — does not include full trade management, entry/exit handling, or execution logic.
No advanced filtering weakness — does not include broader filtering or replay/stat reconstruction layers.
Threshold sensitivity weakness — path behavior depends heavily on the user-selected reversal percentage, so different settings can materially change the path and turn structure.
Path-state, not profit-state weakness — path direction does not guarantee profitable entries or strong follow-through.
Simplified hidden path weakness — the hidden path is intentionally simplified and should not be mistaken for a complete internal market model.
No regime/stat engine weakness — does not contain broader regime scoring, detailed replay diagnostics, or a larger state/stat engine.
Who it’s for
This script is best suited for traders and PulseWire users who want a simpler live path script, users interested in non-repainting path direction on closed bars, users who want a visual companion to entry-focused scripts, users who want to inspect market path structure with less complexity than a full trading engine, and users interested in learning from or modifying a smaller path-focused script. It is especially suited for users who want a practical path/state layer rather than a complete trading engine.
Who it’s not for
This script is not best suited for:
users looking for a complete pre-built trading engine
users expecting advanced pre-entry classification
users expecting full entry/exit/trade management
users looking for advanced regime, replay, and state/stat reconstruction
users expecting this script by itself to solve the false-pivot or follow-through problem
users looking for a complete trade-selection and execution workflow rather than a smaller standalone path script
Known limitations
Realtime Non-Repaint Path is much better at showing live path direction and simplified path structure than it is at acting as a complete trading system. The live path is driven by a percentage-reversal state machine and the hidden path is rebuilt from simplified percentage-reversal pivots with eased pivot-to-pivot connections. Because of that, it should be viewed primarily as a path/state visualization and classification script, not as a complete trade-selection or execution engine. Different reversal-percentage settings can also materially change how often the path flips and how sensitive the script is to movement.
Final note
This is a standalone path script, not a guaranteed predictive system and not a full operational trading engine. Its strengths are concentrated in live path visibility, simplified hidden path structure, non-repainting state handling on closed bars, and quick visual interpretation. It is best used as a path-focused companion or as a simpler standalone script for studying live path behavior rather than as a substitute for a more complete engine. Indicator

Auto Trend Drawing [LuxAlgo]The Auto Trend Drawing indicator summarizes price action into a smooth, continuous curve that highlights the primary market direction and structure.
It is mostly a fun and silly experiment in reproducing users attempts at drawing trends on the chart using the brush tool.
This indicator is subject to repainting and is displayed retrospectively based on the most recent price data.
🔶 USAGE
The Auto Trend Drawing tool provides a clean, visual representation of the current market "flow" by stripping away minor price noise and focusing on significant pivot points. Traders can use this indicator to quickly identify the prevailing trend, potential trend reversals, and the overall rhythm of the market.
Unlike standard trendlines that connect two specific points, this indicator creates a dynamic curve that adapts to the most significant price movements within a user-defined window.
🔹 Trend Identification
Bullish Flow: When the curve is sloping upward and the price generally stays above or near the curve's trajectory.
Bearish Flow: When the curve is sloping downward and the price remains below or near the curve's trajectory.
Consolidation: When the curve flattens out, indicating a lack of clear directional momentum.
🔶 DETAILS
The script employs a multi-step process to generate the trend curve:
Normalization: Price data is normalized using the Average True Range (ATR). This ensures that the simplification process remains consistent across different assets and timeframes regardless of their volatility.
Ramer-Douglas-Peucker (RDP) Algorithm: This algorithm identifies the most "important" anchor points in the price series by recursively simplifying the path. It removes points that deviate less than a certain threshold (set by the Simplification Multiplier) from a straight line.
Catmull-Rom Splines: Once the key anchor points are identified, the script uses Catmull-Rom spline interpolation to connect them. This creates a smooth, aesthetic curve that passes through every identified anchor point, providing a more "organic" look than jagged lines.
🔶 SETTINGS
Window Size: Determines the number of recent bars the indicator analyzes to build the curve.
Simplification Multiplier: Controls the sensitivity of the trend detection. Higher values filter out more noise, resulting in a smoother, more "macro" curve. Lower values allow the curve to follow price more closely.
ATR Length: The period used for the ATR normalization process.
Curve Tension: Adjusts how tightly the spline curve follows the anchor points. A value of 0.5 is centripetal, while higher or lower values change the curvature between points.
Curve Resolution: Sets the number of sub-points calculated between each anchor. Higher values result in a smoother-looking line.
Line Color: Changes the color of the trend curve.
Line Width: Adjusts the thickness of the displayed curve.
Indicator
LOWESS Channel & Extrapolation [LuxAlgo]The LOWESS Channel & Extrapolation indicator calculates a Locally Weighted Scatterplot Smoothing (LOWESS) curve to define a non-linear trend and projects it into future bars using local regression slopes. It provides a dynamic channel based on the standard deviation of residuals, helping traders identify overextended price levels and potential mean-reversion points.
The LOWESS Channel & Extrapolation indicator is subject to repainting and displayed retrospectively.
🔶 USAGE
This tool is primarily designed for trend analysis and identifying exhaustion points. Because the LOWESS algorithm recalculates based on the most recent data window, the entire historical curve can adjust, making it a powerful tool for backtesting and analyzing past market structures rather than for real-time signal generation without confirmation.
🔹 Trend Identification
The central fit line represents the smoothed local trend. When the curve is sloping upward, the local market sentiment is considered bullish; conversely, a downward slope indicates bearish sentiment.
🔹 Overbought/Oversold Conditions
The dashed outer channels represent a volatility-adjusted boundary. When price moves outside these boundaries, it is statistically overextended relative to the local trend, often preceding a move back toward the mid-line.
🔹 Extrapolation
The indicator extends the most recent local regression slope into the future. This provides a "path of least resistance" projection based on the current momentum of the smoothed curve.
🔶 DETAILS
The LOWESS (Locally Weighted Scatterplot Smoothing) algorithm works by performing a separate weighted linear regression for every data point in the window.
It uses a "tricube" weighting function, which ensures that data points closer to the focal point have a higher influence on the fit than points further away. This results in a curve that is much more flexible than a simple moving average and can adapt to complex price cycles without the lag associated with traditional filters.
The channel width is determined by calculating the Standard Deviation of the residuals (the difference between the actual price and the LOWESS fit). This ensures the channel expands during high volatility and contracts during consolidation.
🔶 SETTINGS
Length : Determines the number of historical observations used to fit the LOWESS curve. Larger values result in a smoother, more macro trend. Span : The fraction of data points used for each local regression. A higher span (closer to 1.0) creates a smoother line, while a lower span allows the curve to follow price more tightly. Channel Multiplier : Multiplier applied to the standard deviation of residuals to define the distance of the upper and lower bands from the mid-line. Extrapolation Bars : The number of bars to project the current trend into the future. Fit Color : Sets the color and transparency of the central LOWESS line. Channel Color : Sets the color of the dashed outer bands and the background fill. Line Width : Adjusts the thickness of the central fit line. Indicator
Whittaker Envelope [LuxAlgo]The Whittaker Envelope indicator is a visualization tool that uses Asymmetric Least Squares (ALS) to create a smooth, non-linear envelope that adapts to price extremes and troughs.
This indicator is for visualization purposes only and should not be used for direct trading signals without confirmation.
It is important to note that this script is displayed retrospectively . Because it calculates the best fit over a fixed historical window (the last N bars) using an iterative optimization process, the entire shape of the envelope can change as new data arrives. This means the indicator repaints and should be used to analyze overall market structure and volatility rather than for real-time execution.
🔶 USAGE
The Whittaker Envelope provides a unique way to visualize the "breathing" of the market. By applying different asymmetry parameters, the indicator generates a lower boundary that seeks out price troughs and an upper boundary that seeks out price peaks.
🔹 Trend and Volatility Analysis
The area between the upper and lower bounds represents the smoothed price range. A widening envelope suggests increasing volatility, while a narrowing one indicates consolidation. The dashed midline acts as a smoothed average of these two extremes, providing a baseline for the current trend.
🔹 Extrapolation
The tool includes a linear extrapolation feature that projects the current trajectory of the envelope into the future. This can help users visualize the potential direction of the trend if the current momentum persists.
🔶 DETAILS
The script implements the Whittaker-Eilers smoothing algorithm, which balances two conflicting goals: fitting the data points closely and keeping the resulting curve smooth.
By using Asymmetric Least Squares (ALS), we assign different weights to prices depending on whether they are above or below the curve. For the upper band, we use a high asymmetry value ( p ) so the curve is "pushed" toward the peaks. For the lower band, a very low p value is used to "pull" the curve toward the troughs.
🔶 SETTINGS
Length : The number of recent bars included in the calculation window.
Lambda (λ) : The smoothing factor. Higher values result in a stiffer, straighter envelope, while lower values allow the bands to follow price more closely.
Lower Asymmetry (p) : Controls how the lower band reacts to prices. Typically set to a very low value (e.g., 0.001) to ensure it follows the bottom of the price action.
Upper Asymmetry (p) : Controls how the upper band reacts to prices. Typically set to a very high value (e.g., 0.999) to ensure it follows the top of the price action.
Iterations : The number of times the ALS algorithm runs to refine the fit. More iterations provide a more accurate envelope but require more computational power.
Extrapolation : The number of bars to project the current slope of the bands into the future.
Source : The price data used for the calculation (default is Close).
Indicator
Price Simplification [LuxAlgo]The Price Simplification indicator provides a streamlined representation of price action by reducing complex market movements into essential trend segments using the Ramer-Douglas-Peucker (RDP) algorithm.
This indicator calculates its output based on a fixed window of historical data. Consequently, the line segments are displayed retrospectively and are subject to repainting as new bars develop and the calculation window shifts.
🔶 USAGE
The indicator is designed to help traders identify the core structure of price movement by filtering out "noise"—small fluctuations that do not significantly impact the overall trend. By simplifying the price into a series of connected segments, it becomes easier to visualize support/resistance levels, trend slopes, and market geometry.
Users can adjust the level of simplification to suit their needs:
A lower ATR Multiplier will result in a line that follows price closely, capturing more minor swings.
A higher ATR Multiplier will produce a more aggressive simplification, highlighting only the most significant market turns.
🔹 Extension Line
The script includes an "Extend Last Segment" feature. When enabled, it projects the trajectory of the final simplified segment into the future using a dashed line. This projection begins one bar after the most recent data point, providing a visual guide for the current price momentum without overlapping the historical simplification.
🔶 DETAILS
The core logic of this tool relies on the Ramer-Douglas-Peucker (RDP) algorithm, a classic algorithm used in computer graphics and cartography to reduce the number of points in a curve.
The algorithm works through an iterative process:
It starts with a line segment connecting the first and last points of the lookback window.
It identifies the point between these two ends that is furthest from the segment (perpendicular distance).
If this maximum distance is greater than a specified threshold, that point is kept as a "key point," and the algorithm splits the segment into two parts, repeating the process for each.
If no point is further than the threshold, all intermediate points are discarded, and the segment remains a straight line.
To ensure the simplification remains consistent across different assets and timeframes, the script normalizes price coordinates using the Average True Range (ATR) . This means the threshold for keeping a point is relative to the current market volatility rather than a fixed price value.
🔶 SETTINGS
Window Size : The number of recent bars used to apply the RDP algorithm to.
ATR Multiplier : The sensitivity of the simplification. Higher values lead to fewer segments and a simpler line.
ATR Length : The period used to calculate the ATR for price normalization.
Line Color : The color of the simplified polyline.
Line Width : The thickness of the polyline and extension.
Extend Last Segment : When enabled, projects the slope of the final segment forward as a dashed line starting one bar after the last point.
Indicator
Market Acceptance Envelope [Interakktive]The Market Acceptance Envelope (MAE) is a diagnostic tool that shows where price statistically belongs — not where it might go. Unlike traditional bands that expand with volatility, MAE expands with acceptance: regions where price rotates comfortably, efficiency drops, and the market agrees on fair value.
This is the anti-Bollinger thesis: bands should represent where price IS accepted, not where it MIGHT reach based on standard deviation.
█ USAGE
The filled corridor represents the current acceptance zone — where price has demonstrated rotational behavior with low directional efficiency. When price is inside the corridor, it's "home." When outside, it's exploring territory the market hasn't yet accepted.
For discretionary traders, MAE provides instant context: "Is price where it belongs, or is it extended?"
For systematic traders, the exported values (confidence, asymmetry, position) can inform position sizing and filter logic.
█ ACCEPTANCE CENTROID
Unlike traditional bands centered on a moving average, MAE uses an Acceptance Centroid — a time-weighted price level where acceptance behavior concentrates. The centroid is calculated by weighting price by:
• Inverse efficiency (low efficiency = high acceptance)
• Volatility stability (stable vol = higher weight)
• Dwell factor (time spent near level)
This means the centroid drifts toward where price actually rotates, not simply where it averages.
█ ASYMMETRIC BOUNDARIES
MAE calculates upper and lower boundaries independently. Markets rarely treat up and down equally — during uptrends, the upper boundary may be wider (more accepted upside exploration), while the lower boundary stays tight (quick rejection of dips).
This asymmetry is visible on the chart and exported as a metric (-1 to +1).
█ CONFIDENCE-BASED VISIBILITY
The corridor's opacity reflects acceptance confidence:
• High confidence → clearly visible corridor (price is in accepted rotation)
• Low confidence → faded corridor (trending/directional market, acceptance not established)
When the corridor fades, it's telling you: "Acceptance hasn't been earned here yet."
█ WHAT THIS INDICATOR IS
• A diagnostic acceptance envelope showing where price statistically belongs
• Asymmetric by design — upper and lower calculated independently
• Confidence-weighted visibility — fades when acceptance is not earned
• Non-repainting — uses closed-bar data only
█ WHAT THIS INDICATOR IS NOT
• NOT Bollinger Bands (no standard deviation around a mean)
• NOT Keltner Channels (no ATR-scaled envelope)
• NOT a signal generator — no touches = signals philosophy
• NO arrows, NO entries/exits, NO buy/sell recommendations
█ HOW IT WORKS
MAE uses an acceptance-weighted calculation approach:
1. ACCEPTANCE WEIGHT
Each bar receives a weight based on:
• Efficiency: (1 - efficiency) — low efficiency = rotational = high acceptance
• Volatility Stability: stable vol environment = higher weight
• Dwell Factor: price staying near central tendency = higher weight
2. ACCEPTANCE CENTROID
Weighted average of price using acceptance weights:
centroid = Σ(price × weight) / Σ(weight)
Smoothed adaptively — faster during drift, slower when stable.
3. ASYMMETRIC BOUNDARIES
Upper and lower distances calculated separately:
• rngUp = acceptance-weighted average of (price - centroid) when price > centroid
• rngDn = acceptance-weighted average of (centroid - price) when price < centroid
4. CONFIDENCE SCORE
Composite of average acceptance weight, volatility stability, and centroid stability.
Maps to corridor opacity: high confidence = visible, low confidence = faded.
