Prop Key Levels & Order Blocks - Buy Sell Signals with TP/SLA complete intraday trading suite built around one idea: the decision candle.
Instead of guessing where price might turn, the script marks the exact candles
where the market already made a decision, and then tells you what happened when
price came back to them.
Everything is evaluated on closed bars. Printed signals never move.
━━ WHAT IT DRAWS ━━
MAJOR KEY DETECTION
The origin candle of an impulsive displacement leg. Its body becomes a level
that extends to the right. Green for bullish decisions, red for bearish ones.
When price closes clean through a key, the level is greyed out — it failed, and
you can see that it failed. The detection level (1–100) sets how far price must
travel out of a candidate before it is accepted, so you can go from "every small
turn" to "only the moves that really expanded".
MAJOR ORDER BLOCKS
The last opposing candle before a structural break. Drawn as a box that survives
until price closes through it.
TREND DETECTION
A volatility-scaled trailing line under price, green while bullish and red while
bearish. It is the filter one of the two entry engines uses, and a weighted
component of the other.
ORDER POOL
Price levels that were rejected repeatedly and still hold unfilled resting
orders. Each pool is parked as an arrow at the right edge of the chart. You
decide what happens once price trades through one: remove it (the orders are
spent) or keep it dimmed, so you can still trade the reaction after the sweep.
SMART FVGS
Three-candle imbalances, filtered by a minimum size so the chart is not buried
under meaningless micro-gaps.
━━ THE ENTRY ENGINE ━━
Two independent algorithms, selectable in the settings.
PROP MODE — conservative. A signal needs the trend filter, a key level or order
block, and a confirmation candle to agree, and price must not already be
extended. Fewer trades, built for accounts where a handful of clean entries
beats constant activity.
AI-MODE — adaptive. Trend, momentum, key level, order block, pool sweep, fair
value gap and candle quality each contribute a weighted score. The engine fires
when the combined score clears a threshold you control, so it also takes the
reversals the conservative mode filters away.
Every entry comes with three take profits (Minor, Major, Highest) and a stop.
All four are expressed in volatility units — one unit is the ATR at the signal
bar — so the distances breathe with the market instead of being a fixed point
value that is wrong on half the days.
The reward box, the risk box and the projection line are drawn forward from the
entry, so one glance tells you whether the trade is worth taking. Hover any
signal badge to read why it fired and every price it produced.
━━ COOLDOWN ━━
After a signal, the engine mutes itself for a configurable number of bars. This
is what stops it from firing ten entries into the same move — the single
fastest way to run into a daily loss limit.
━━ DASHBOARDS ━━
A trade metrics table in the corner lists the live entry, all three targets, the
stop, the reward-to-risk and the cooldown state — the numbers you copy into your
order ticket.
A cockpit panel shows the live checklist (trend, key level, order block, pool
sweep, candle, cooldown), the running position, and a hit count across the whole
loaded history: how often each target was reached and how often the stop came
first.
━━ ALERTS ━━
Entry, take-profit hit and stop hit, as readable text or as a JSON object
carrying side, entry, all three targets, the stop and the reward-to-risk — the
format execution bridges expect.
━━ SETTINGS ━━
① Engine Control — strategy type, score threshold, cooldown, metrics table
② Trade Config — Minor / Major / Highest TP, SL, volatility unit
③ Insight Matrix — key detection and its level, order blocks, trend
④ Orderflow & Smart FVGs — order pool, touch count, tolerance, fill handling
⑤ Visuals — theme, candle colouring, boxes, price lines, panel, drawing budget
⑥ Alerts — what to fire and in which format
Every input carries a tooltip explaining what it does and what changes when you
move it.
━━ NOTES ━━
Designed for intraday work on index CFDs, gold and FX. The defaults were set up
on 1- to 15-minute charts; on higher timeframes raise the cooldown and the key
detection level.

Market Structure Trend [QuantAlgo]🟢 Overview
The Market Structure Trend tracks the dominant directional bias of price by detecting confirmed swing highs and lows and maintaining an active structure level that only flips on a genuine break of that level. Rather than reacting to every minor high or low, it waits for a pivot to lock in after a defined number of bars on either side, then holds the resulting structure until price closes beyond it by an optional confirmation buffer. The result is a clean, non-repainting structure line that stays aligned with the prevailing market structure while filtering out stop hunts and marginal pokes through key levels. This makes the prevailing bias readable at a glance across any instrument or timeframe.
🟢 How It Works
The indicator begins by identifying pivot highs and pivot lows using the selected left and right structure bars. These pivots become the swing points that define market structure:
pivot_high = ta.pivothigh(high, left_bars, right_bars)
pivot_low = ta.pivotlow(low, left_bars, right_bars)
When a new pivot is confirmed, the corresponding swing high or swing low is updated. The active structure range is calculated as the absolute distance between the current swing high and swing low, and a confirmation buffer is derived as a percentage of that range:
structure_range = math.abs(swing_high - swing_low)
confirm_buffer = structure_range * buffer_pct / 100.0
Break levels are then offset by this buffer so that a downside break sits below the swing low and an upside break sits above the swing high. On every confirmed bar the script checks whether the chosen source (or the high or low when Break On Wick is enabled) has crossed the relevant break level. A successful cross reverses structure direction and reassigns the structure level to the opposite swing. If no break occurs, the structure level simply continues to track the swing consistent with the current direction.
Structure direction is seeded on the first ready bar by comparing price to the midpoint of the swing range, establishing an initial bias. From that point forward flips are gated strictly by confirmed breaks, so the state never repaints or changes mid-bar.
The structure level is drawn as a continuous line with a soft glow underneath. When radial layering is enabled, four concentric fills are drawn between the structure level and the bar midpoint, with transparency increasing outward. This produces a stepped radial field that visually maps distance from the active structure boundary rather than a single flat zone.
🟢 Signal Interpretation
▶ Bullish Structure (Structure Line at Swing Low with Bullish Color): When structure direction is bullish the line sits at the most recent confirmed swing low. Price is considered to remain in an uptrend structure as long as it stays above the buffered downside break level. The bullish state holds until a confirmed downside break occurs, at which point the line moves to the swing high and the color transitions.
▶ Bearish Structure (Structure Line at Swing High with Bearish Color): When structure direction is bearish the line sits at the most recent confirmed swing high. Price remains in a downtrend structure until a confirmed upside break flips the state. The bearish state persists through subsequent bars until an upside break is registered.
🟢 Features
▶ Preconfigured Presets: Three parameter sets cover a range of trading styles and timeframes. Default uses the manual Left Structure Bars, Right Structure Bars, and Confirmation Buffer values and is balanced for swing trading on 1-hour and daily charts. Fast Response shortens the structure legs for scalping and intraday use on 1-minute to 1-hour charts, registering minor swings so the structure trend flips earlier. Smooth Trend lengthens the legs for position trading on daily and weekly charts, tracking only major swings and holding through pullbacks with the confirmation buffer.
▶ Built-in Alerts: Three alert conditions support automated monitoring of structure flips. Bullish Structure Shift fires on the first bar that structure direction changes from bearish to bullish. Bearish Structure Shift fires on the opposite transition. Any Structure Shift triggers on either flip for traders who prefer a single unified alert. All messages include the exchange, ticker, and timeframe for immediate context.
▶ Visual Customization: Six color presets (Classic, Aqua, Cosmic, Cyber, Neon, and Custom) supply coordinated bullish and bearish color pairings suited to different chart themes. Selecting Custom unlocks independent color pickers for full manual control. Optional bar coloring tints each candle with the active structure color at a configurable transparency, and optional background coloring extends the same tint across the full chart pane. Radial layering, structure shift markers, and the structure line itself all inherit the active color pair so the entire visual system remains consistent.

Supertrend + RSI Filter (Advanced TP/SL)OverviewThe Supertrend + RSI Filter (Advanced TP/SL) is a comprehensive trend-following indicator designed for PulseWire (Pine Script v5). It combines the trend-detection power of the Supertrend with a dynamic RSI Momentum Filter to eliminate low-probability setups in overbought or oversold conditions.Unlike standard indicators that clear historical lines upon new signals, this script implements a Pine Script v5 Custom Type & Array-based Position Management System. It tracks every trade independently, drawing dynamic Entry, Take Profit (TP), and Stop Loss (SL) lines with centered price labels. Position lines persist on the chart and are ONLY removed when price action officially hits the TP or SL level.
Comprehensive Feature List
Supertrend Trend Detection:
Utilizes Average True Range (ATR) to measure volatility and establish dynamic trailing stop bands for precise trend-direction identification.
RSI Momentum Filtering:
- Buy Filter: Suppresses BUY signals when RSI exceeds the overbought threshold (Default: >70) to prevent buying at local tops.
- Sell Filter: Suppresses SELL signals when RSI drops below the oversold threshold (Default: <30) to prevent selling at local bottoms.
Can be toggled ON/OFF in the settings menu.
Multi-Position Tracking Arrays:
- Employs custom data structures () stored in an to track multiple open trades concurrently. type Position array
- Persistent Lines: Entry (Solid Gray), Take Profit (Dashed Green), and Stop Loss (Dashed Red) lines remain on the chart through opposite trend changes until hit. - Centered Price Labels: Displays label text (, , ) dynamically anchored at the midpoint of each active position line. Entry: XTP: YSL: Z
- Individual Removal: When a specific trade hits its TP or SL target, its corresponding lines and labels are erased immediately without affecting other active trades.
On-Chart Performance Dashboard:
- Displays an updated summary table in the top-left corner of the chart.
- Metrics Included:
Win Rate (%): Percentage of closed trades hitting TP.

Liquidity Heatmap 3D - Volume Density POC CVDLIQUIDITY HEATMAP 3D — the order-flow heatmap look, rebuilt for PulseWire.
This indicator brings the volume-density heatmap visual to any PulseWire chart, with a twist no other heatmap here has: a real 3D relief shader. Instead of flat colour tiles, every cell is lit by a virtual light source (emboss lighting computed in the colour math), and the strongest liquidity walls extrude as 3D blocks with shaded side faces and lit top caps.
━━━ HOW IT WORKS ━━━
PulseWire provides no order book and no historical tick data, so this is an honest volume-density heatmap: each bar's volume is distributed across the price zones its range covered. Dense zones are the liquidity walls where the market actually spent volume. The engine normalises against the 85th percentile of the column maxima, so one hot spike never blanks out the rest of the map.
━━━ WHAT IS ON THE CHART ━━━
· Heatmap grid up to 22 x 28 zones, rebuilt live on every bar
· 3D RELIEF SHADER — emboss lighting, specular glints on the wall tops, adjustable strength
· 3D WALL EXTRUSION — the strongest cells pop out as shaded blocks (toggle)
· 7 PALETTES — GOLD 3D (default), TWILIGHT, FIRE & ICE (buy/sell split), OCEAN, INFERNO, EMERALD, MONO
· POC LINE — the highest-volume price of the window, with its volume readout
· WALL DETECTION — the two strongest active liquidity walls, labelled with their strength in percent
· VOLUME PROFILE — profile bars on the right, POC highlighted in gold
· TRADE BUBBLES — volume-spike bubbles sized by their ratio against the average, buy blue / sell magenta
· CVD STRIP — cumulative volume delta (bar proxy) along the bottom, mint and red
· COCKPIT PANEL — engine checklist, POC box and a BUY / SELL flow signal line
· Optional dark chart theme: navy background with mint / red bars
━━━ HOW TO USE IT ━━━
1. Watch the golden walls: price often reacts at dense volume zones — support and resistance built by traded volume rather than by drawn lines.
2. The POC is the fairest price of the window and acts as a mean-reversion magnet in ranges.
3. CVD rising while price holds a wall below it is an absorption long idea; CVD falling at a wall above is a distribution short idea.
4. Bubbles mark the bars where outsized volume hit. Combine them with wall touches for confluence.
━━━ SETTINGS ━━━
Grid size, bars per column, cutoff, gamma, tile transparency, relief strength, wall threshold and bubble threshold are all adjustable. Works on every symbol and timeframe; if a symbol carries no volume the engine falls back to time-at-price density and says so in the panel.
━━━ HONEST LIMITS ━━━
This is not level-2 order book data — PulseWire does not provide it. The map shows where volume actually traded, not resting limit orders. The 3D effect is a rendering technique, not extra data.
━━━ NOTE ON LOADING ━━━
Right after adding the indicator, or after changing a setting, give it a few seconds: the engine creates its object pools and runs the first build. A brief flicker during that warm-up is normal and stops once the first refresh is done. After that the persistent engine updates in place with no flicker.
Open source — read it, change it, learn from it. This indicator is a study tool, not financial advice.
WHY THESE PARTS BELONG TOGETHER
The heatmap, the point of control and the cumulative delta strip are three views of one question:
where is volume sitting, which price is defending it, and who is doing the trading. The heatmap
shows the distribution, the point of control marks its centre of gravity, and the delta strip says
whether that distribution is being built by buyers or sellers. Read on their own each of the three
is ambiguous; read together they describe one order-flow picture.

Impulse Box Breakout Engine - Origin Range Buy Sell SignalsIMPULSE BOX BREAKOUT ENGINE — a complete breakout trading system in one indicator: self-adjusting impulse boxes with entry arrow, stop, two fixed targets, a pink trailing-stop dot line and webhook automation. Rebuilt 1:1 from a professional German "Impulsbox" breakout engine (72-minute source webinar, analyzed frame by frame) and redesigned as a modern cockpit indicator.
█ WHAT IT DOES
The engine meters the market N bars back: the range the market traded in PLUS the length of every single bar inside it (compression check). When a STRONG impulse bar closes outside that range, the IMPULSE BOX appears over the consolidation:
• CYAN BOX = long breakout — big entry arrow inside the box
• GOLD BOX = short breakout — mirrored to the downside
• Initial stop = the far side of the box (bottom for longs, top for shorts)
• TARGET 1 + TARGET 2 (violet marks) are projected from the box height the moment the box appears — FIXED, never repainted, never moved afterwards
• PINK DOTS = the trailing stop. It starts at the box edge and follows price with ~30% of the move as breathing room. It only ratchets in your favor — never back
• At Target 1 the stop jumps to break-even or better. After Target 2 the system follows the source rule: "never leave the market voluntarily — let the stop take you out"
█ SELF-OPTIMIZING ENGINE
Markets are sideways ~80% of the time — rigid breakout parameters fail there. This engine adapts automatically:
• TREND regime (ADX based): short lookback, wider targets (+35% / +100% of box height)
• RANGE regime: longer lookback, stricter impulse filter, closer targets (+25% / +75%)
• AUTO-RECALIBRATION: after a false breakout the impulse threshold is raised temporarily — fewer but cleaner boxes. A winning box resets it
• The cockpit shows the current regime, calibration and effective parameters at all times
█ HONEST LIVE STATISTICS
The cockpit counts every box on your chart and shows the real Target-1 and Target-2 hit rates — no marketing numbers, live counted on your symbol and timeframe. On XAUUSD 15m the default engine printed 500+ boxes with a T1 hit rate above 90% at the time of publishing (past performance never guarantees future results).
█ DIRECTION BIAS FILTER
The #1 rule of the source system: trade boxes only in the direction of the higher-level move. The indicator automates this via EMA-200 + Supertrend bias. Choose: Off / Mark counter-bias boxes (dimmed + warning) / Filter them out completely. Supertrend companion arrows are included as extra confluence.
█ EVERY SIGNAL EXPLAINS ITSELF
Hover any BUY/SELL pill: how many bars of consolidation, how strong the impulse bar was (x average bar), which range edge broke, which regime the engine was in, whether the box agrees with the bias — plus entry, stop and both targets. No black box.
█ WEBHOOK AUTOMATION (BOTS / BRIDGES)
Create ONE alert with "Any alert() function call" and your webhook URL. The indicator fires ready-to-use JSON on BUY, SELL, T1_HIT, T2_HIT, TRAIL_EXIT and SL_HIT — including entry, stop, both targets, box levels, regime and live hit rates. Works with any webhook bridge, bot or auto-trader.
█ HOW TO USE
1) Add to chart — works on ALL symbols and ALL timeframes (crypto, gold, forex, indices, stocks)
2) Use standard candles or OHLC bars (Heikin-Ashi smoothing swallows breakouts — a key finding of the source webinar)
3) Wait for a box + arrow, entry at the breakout close, stop at the far box edge
4) Take partial profit at Target 1, let the rest run with the pink trailing dots
5) Automate via webhook JSON if you want
█ SETTINGS
Everything is configurable: manual mode with fixed lookback/impulse strength, target distances, trailing gap, exit-at-T2 mode, bias filter mode, Supertrend, chart theme, cockpit position and all alert toggles.
Educational tool only — not financial advice. Trading involves substantial risk. Always test on a demo account first and never risk money you cannot afford to lose.
WHY THESE PARTS BELONG TOGETHER
The impulse detection and the box are one mechanism, not two features. The impulse identifies the
candle sequence that moved the market; the box freezes the range that impulse came out of, because
that range is the level the market has to defend for the move to continue. Detecting impulses
without marking their origin gives you a signal with no invalidation, and drawing boxes without an
impulse gives you consolidation zones with no direction.

Macro MagicianMacro Magician — Hourly Macros (:50 → :10)
Short description
Marks the :50 → :10 hourly macro windows, shades the opening minute of each, and can carry a chosen macro's opening range across the rest of the session.
Full description
What it does
Macro Magician draws the twenty-minute windows that run from :50 of one hour to :10 of the next — the periods intraday traders commonly call hourly macros. Each window gets a shaded box tracking its high and low, and the opening candle of the window is shaded separately in a darker tone, so you can see where price opened the window from relative to where it finished.
Beyond marking the windows, two features do the work that usually gets done by hand:
Carried-forward opening ranges. Any macro can have its opening-candle high and low projected to the right across the rest of the session, turning that one minute into a horizontal reference band. The macro's time is reprinted along the band at a cadence you set, so it stays identifiable hours later without hovering over it.
A standalone highlight candle. One candle per session — 09:30 by default, matching the equity cash open — can be recolored, given a vertical backdrop and a marker, and boxed with its own carried-forward band. This runs independently of the macro slots, so it works whether or not that minute falls inside a macro window.
Nothing here produces signals or predicts direction. It is a time-and-level marking tool that puts the windows and their opening ranges on the chart automatically.
Settings
General
Timezone — all times are interpreted in this zone, so boxes land correctly regardless of your chart's display timezone. Defaults to New York; "Exchange" follows the symbol.
Timeframe limit — hides the drawings above a chosen timeframe. Default 15 minutes.
Style
Fill, opening-candle fill, and border transparency, plus border width.
Opening-candle level — projects the window's opening candle's open, close, or midpoint as a dotted line across the window.
Label visibility and size.
Chart theme — Auto, Light, or Dark. Auto reads the chart's background brightness and flips the extended-macro label text between the two colors you choose, so the script is legible on either without touching anything else.
Optional alert when a macro opens.
Macro windows Eight independent slots, each with an on/off toggle, a session, a color, and an extend checkbox. Defaults cover 06:50 through 14:10 New York time. The session field accepts day filters, so 0850-0910:23456 restricts a window to Tuesday through Saturday for futures. One "extend through" session sets where all carried-forward bands stop, 16:00 by default.
Extended opening range Controls the band label cadence — either at a fixed minute interval from the macro open, or once an hour at a clock minute you choose so the prints stay clear of the other macro windows — along with the text size, which applies to both the label above the box and the prints along the band.
Highlight candle Hour and minute for the candle, its color, an optional full-height vertical backdrop with its own transparency, an optional triangle marker above or below the bar, and an optional carried-forward box with independent fill, border, and width settings. The box can start on the candle or just after it, so its fill doesn't wash out the candle's own color.
How to read it
The lighter box shows what the window did — its full high and low. The darker box shows the range it opened from. When a window closes well outside its opening range, the two together show the displacement at a glance. A carried-forward band lets later sessions be read against an earlier opening range without redrawing it each day.
Notes and limitations
Intraday charts only. On a 1-minute chart the darker box is exactly the :50 candle; on a 5-minute chart it is the first five minutes of the window, which is wider by design.
The highlight candle is drawn with barcolor plus a candle overlay, so it survives chart settings that override bar colors. On timeframes above one minute it paints whichever bar carries that opening time.
PulseWire caps drawings at 500 boxes, lines, and labels, so the oldest sessions eventually drop off the left of the chart. Running fewer macro slots keeps more history visible.
Windows in progress update until they close, as you would expect. Nothing recalculates on historical bars.
This is a charting aid, not a strategy, and not financial advice. Test how these windows behave on your own instrument and timeframe before relying on them. Indicator
Opening Range Breakout Engine - Session Range SignalsaDESCRIPTION:
RANGE BREAKOUT PRO is a complete range-breakout trading engine: it detects tradeable ranges from confirmed swing pivots, fires BUY and SELL signals when price breaks out in the direction of the trend, and then manages every trade on the chart with entry, stop loss, take profit, break-even and trailing logic - all fully visualized and fully automatable via webhook alerts.
HOW THE ENGINE WORKS
1. RANGE DETECTION - Confirmed swing highs and swing lows (pivot length configurable) become the active RANGE HIGH and RANGE LOW. Each extreme is marked on the chart with a dot and a vertical marker line. A range must be wide enough (minimum height in ATR) and fresh enough (maximum age in bars) to be tradeable - micro-ranges and stale levels are skipped automatically.
2. BREAKOUT SIGNAL - A signal fires only when a candle CLOSES beyond the range extreme plus an ATR buffer (no wick fake-outs), the gradient trend ribbon points in the breakout direction, the trend strength score clears your Buy/Sell Strength threshold, the breakout is not overextended (max distance from the ribbon in ATR - no chasing exhausted moves), and an optional cooldown after a losing trade has expired. Optional MTF Agreement requires the 15-minute trend to confirm.
3. TRADE MANAGEMENT - Every signal is managed like a real trade, live on the chart:
- TP1 (partial target) banks the win early and moves the stop to break-even
- the remainder runs to the full R-multiple take profit or a chandelier trail
- green TP box and red SL box grow bar by bar from the entry, exactly like a position tool
- price tags at the right edge show Entry, Stop Loss, Take Profit and live Profit/Loss %
- every closed trade is marked with a tick (win), circle (break-even) or cross (loss)
4. TWO TRADE MODES - "TP/SL Mode" (fixed targets, split TP1 + runner) or "Trailing Mode" (no fixed target, the trail line is the moving stop).
THE COCKPIT PANEL
- MARKET OVERVIEW: multi-timeframe trend dashboard - live trend strength meters for the chart timeframe, 15m, 1H, 4H and 1D
- SIGNAL SETUP: entry system, MTF agreement, current signal (Long / Flat / Short), Buy/Sell strength thresholds, trend filter state, trade mode, active Take Profit and Stop Loss levels
- PERFORMANCE: asset, exchange, timeframe, total trades and live win rate calculated from every signal on the chart history - no cherry picking, the counter runs over everything the engine fired
Win rate accounting is transparent: a trade counts as WIN when TP1 is banked, as LOSS when the initial stop is hit first, and break-even exits are tracked separately - the same split-target accounting professional scalpers use.
WHY-EXPLANATIONS ON THE CHART
Every BUY/SELL pill carries a tooltip that explains WHY the signal fired: which range level broke, the trend strength at the trigger, entry, stop and target prices. Range dots explain the level they mark. Nothing is a black box.
WEBHOOK AUTOMATION
Create one alert with condition "Any alert() function call" and paste your webhook URL. The indicator sends ready-to-use JSON for every event: BUY, SELL, TP_HIT, SL_HIT, TRAIL_EXIT, BE_EXIT - including symbol, price, stop, target, trade mode, win rate and timeframe. Connect it to any bridge or bot and the strategy runs hands-free.
WORKS ON
Any symbol and timeframe: indices (NASDAQ, S&P, DAX), gold and forex, crypto, stocks. Scalping on 1-5 minute charts, day trading on 15m-1H, swing trading on 4H-Daily. Defaults are tuned for intraday breakout scalping.
DISCLAIMER
This indicator is a technical analysis tool, not financial advice. Past win rates do not guarantee future results. Always test on a demo account first and manage your risk.
WHY THESE PARTS BELONG TOGETHER
An opening range on its own produces a break in both directions on most days. The session filter
and the range-quality measurement exist to decide which of those breaks is tradeable: the session
defines when the range is allowed to form, and the quality measurement rejects ranges that are too
wide or too thin to hold. The breakout level is only meaningful once both have passed.
Indicator
TL Space Concept Pro - Three Finger Spread Breakout EngineSPACE CONCEPT PRO - THE THREE-FINGER SPREAD ENGINE
Some of the most consistent discretionary traders never look at a chart without two moving averages on it: the 20 SMA and the 200 SMA. Add price itself and you have THREE ITEMS - three "fingers". The distance between them is called SPACE, and space tells you when a market is about to explode and when a move is about to die. This indicator turns that entire concept into a fully mechanical engine with signals, trade management and webhook automation.
=== THE CONCEPT ===
THE THREE ITEMS
1. Price
2. The 20 period simple moving average
3. The 200 period simple moving average
NARROW STATE - all three items clustered together. The market has reset itself. An explosive move is loading, direction unknown. You do not need to predict it: you simply wait for the biggest bar to emerge.
SPACE ZONE 1 - the space between the 20 SMA and the 200 SMA.
SPACE ZONE 2 - price accelerating away from the 20 SMA. Sometimes the underlying moves faster than the moving average can keep up, creating a second layer of space.
DUAL SPACE / THREE-FINGER SPREAD - both zones open at the same time, all three fingers clearly separated and stacked in order. This is where moves get exhausted.
THE RAILROAD RULE - if price runs parallel to the 20 SMA like railroad tracks, that is NOT a spread. Price has to ACCELERATE away from the moving average. The engine checks this automatically.
THE WIDEST SPREAD - the widest three-finger spread of the lookback window finds you the temporary top or bottom 8 to 9 times out of 10. When it prints, the reversal watch arms and the extreme that must hold is marked on the chart.
NARROW TO NARROW - when the spread collapses from the widest state back to narrow WITHOUT breaking the extreme, the next direction is the reversal. Confirmed by a power bar: a three-finger spread reversing with a power bar is the creme de la creme of this method.
=== THE SIGNALS ===
1. BREAKOUT - power bar (biggest bar of the window) exploding out of a narrow state. Entry inside the bar, stop beyond the bar.
2. SPREAD REVERSAL - widest spread found the extreme, spread collapsed back toward narrow without breaking it, power bar confirms. Target follows the 50 percent rule.
3. EARLY REVERSAL - first strong color change directly at the widest spread (the bottoming tail bar play). Stop beyond the extreme.
4. TAIL BAR - optional: bottoming/topping tail bars near narrow states as early entries (markers by default).
Every signal prints as a two-line pill with the setup name, and every pill carries a WHY tooltip that explains the exact chain of logic behind the trade - plus entry, stop, target and R:R.
=== TRADE MANAGEMENT (AS TAUGHT) ===
- ADD on the first color change after entry ("always adding on the first color change")
- TP at the 50 percent mark of the move - the pros are satisfied with the halfway mark, do not get greedy
- After the partial: bar-by-bar trailing stop until the market takes you out
- Hard stop beyond the power bar / spread extreme with an ATR buffer
- Full position box and live status in the cockpit panel
=== THE COCKPIT ===
An animated terminal-style panel shows everything at a glance:
- Animated 3D gold pixel logo with a moving light sweep (live ticks)
- State chip: NARROW STATE / 3-FINGER SPREAD / WIDEST SPREAD / REVERSAL WATCH
- Spread rank 0-100 plus live ZONE 1 / ZONE 2 meter bars in ATR
- 7-step SPACE CHECKLIST mirroring the method: items stacked, zone 1, zone 2, acceleration (railroad filter), widest-spread watch, power bar, management
- Position box, big signal line, spread/reset/signal counters
On the chart: shaded zone 1 and zone 2 fills, narrow-state boxes, MARKET RESET tags, 3-FINGER SPREAD labels, gold WIDEST SPREAD stars with vertical measuring lines (exactly how it is drawn when taught), the must-hold extreme line, TAIL tags and lightning power-bar markers. Everything is explained on the chart - hover any label for the reasoning.
=== AUTOMATION / WEBHOOK ===
Create ONE alert with condition "Any alert() function call" and paste your webhook URL. The indicator sends ready-to-use JSON for every event:
{"id":"TL-SPACE-CONCEPT","symbol":"BTCUSD","action":"BUY","setup":"BREAKOUT","price":64100.5,"sl":63900.0,"tp":64500.0,"tf":"15","time":"2026-07-18 16:30"}
Actions: BUY, SELL, ADD, TP_50, TRAIL_EXIT, SL_HIT, NARROW_STATE, WIDEST_SPREAD. Classic alertconditions for BUY / SELL / Narrow State / Widest Spread are included as well.
=== SELF-CALIBRATING ===
The spread is ranked against its own history (percentile engine) and all distances are measured in ATR - so the indicator works out of the box on any market (crypto, forex, gold, indices, stocks, futures) and any timeframe from 1 minute to weekly. Practice finding three-finger spreads everywhere - that is the homework.
=== SETTINGS ===
Every input is documented with a tooltip quoting the original rule it implements. Adjust the narrow/wide percentiles, power-bar size, dual-space minimum, acceleration window, 50 percent rule targets and the SL buffer to fit your market and style.
=== DISCLAIMER ===
Educational tool, not financial advice. No indicator wins every trade - prepare for the 1-2 times out of 10 the concept is wrong: keep your risk unit small compared to your profit unit. That is how you stay in business.

Geometric Matrix Intelligence [GMI]Description:
Welcome to the Geometric Matrix Intelligence + Market Structure indicator. This script is a hybrid trading tool that merges advanced structural concepts (BOS/CHoCH) with geometric probability levels and volatility-based trend analysis.
Core Features:
Geometric Probability Levels (GMI):
When a shift in trend direction is detected based on our custom ATR volatility filter, the script automatically projects forward geometric expansion levels (Φ1 to Φ4). These levels are highly versatile:
Reversal Zones: Price often reacts directly at these mathematical levels, creating excellent pivot or bounce areas.
Take Profit (TP) Targets: Once you are in a trade, these expansion lines provide objective, dynamic targets to scale out or close your positions.
Market Structure (BOS / CHoCH):
Automatically identifies structural pivot highs and lows using a fractal length (defaulted to 12).
Plots pending "Candidate" structure lines (in blue by default).
Confirms Break of Structure (BOS) or Change of Character (CHoCH) when the price breaks these pivots, updating dynamically on your chart.
VWAP Integration:
Includes a built-in Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) as a primary institutional baseline to help gauge overall intraday or multi-day bias. (Enabled by default).
Interactive Trend Dashboard & Shading:
An on-chart dashboard tracks the immediate trend status, the initial trigger entry price, maximum projected targets (Φ4), and current ATR volatility.
Visual trend shading allows for immediate macro-trend recognition.
How to Use:
Watch for Market Structure shifts (BOS/CHoCH) aligning with the GMI generated levels.
Use the projected Φ levels as primary take profit targets when trading a newly confirmed structural break.
Monitor the VWAP to ensure your structural trades are on the correct side of the institutional volume average.
Disclaimer:
This script is provided for educational and informational purposes only. It is not intended to be a financial advice, investment recommendation, or a signal to buy/sell any asset. Trading in financial markets involves significant risk of loss. Always do your own research and test any indicator or strategy in a paper-trading environment before committing real capital. Indicator
Time Based ORBTime Based ORB — Multi-Anchor Opening Ranges with Session Context
WHAT IT DOES
Plots up to three independent, time-anchored opening ranges (defaults: 7:30,
8:50, and 9:30 ET) as boxes with high/low/midpoint lines extended to 16:00 ET,
alongside a session-anchored VWAP and the prior day's key reference levels:
Midnight Open (MNO), Previous Day High (PDH), Previous Day Low (PDL), and
Previous Day Midpoint (PDMid).
WHY THESE COMPONENTS ARE COMBINED
This is not a collection of unrelated tools — it implements one workflow:
trading opening-range breakouts *in context*. An ORB breakout signal alone
has a weak edge; its quality depends on where the range sits relative to
the prior day's structure and whether price is trading with or against
session value:
- The three time anchors map how the range develops: the 7:30 range captures
pre-market structure, the 8:50 range captures positioning just before the
cash open, and the 9:30 range is the classic opening range. Nesting or
expansion between them shows whether the open is compressing or trending.
- PDH/PDL/PDMid define the levels a breakout must clear to have room to run.
A 9:30 breakout directly into PDH is a very different trade than one
breaking out above it.
- Session VWAP acts as the with-value / against-value filter: breakouts
taken on the VWAP side of price have participation behind them; breakouts
against VWAP are treated as fade candidates.
The components share one anchoring engine and one alert framework, which is
why they live in a single script rather than three indicators stacked on
a chart.
HOW IT WORKS
Ranges are captured from the high/low of the bar at each configured ET time,
then drawn as boxes with extended H/L and midpoint lines. Breakout icons
print once per range per day on the first confirmed close outside the range.
Prior-day levels are requested from confirmed daily data (no repainting).
VWAP is session-anchored, matching PulseWire's built-in, with optional
standard-deviation bands. All times use America/New_York regardless of
chart timezone.
HOW TO USE
Intraday timeframes (1–15 min). Set your anchor times in Settings or use
the defaults. Alerts are available for every range breakout, VWAP cross,
and PDH/PDL break. Indicator
Recursive Kernel Trend [QuantAlgo]🟢 Overview
The Recursive Kernel Trend is a trend-following indicator built on a recursive residual estimator with adaptive rate scheduling. It applies one of six selectable filter structures to a residual-corrected recursion, modulates the update rate according to efficiency and volatility conditions, and confirms directional state through slope persistence. The result is a responsive yet controlled trend line that adapts its tracking behavior to market regime while filtering noise-driven fluctuations across every timeframe and instrument.
🟢 How It Works
The calculation begins with a residual between the selected price source and the current estimate. This residual drives a base recursive update whose rate is not fixed but scheduled on every bar:
resid = src - estimate
base = estimate + kern_rate * resid
The scheduled rate is produced by combining two adaptive weights. Efficiency weighting measures the ratio of net directional progress to total price path over a lookback window, raising the rate when movement is clean and lowering it during chop. Volatility weighting compares current ATR against a longer baseline and reduces the rate when volatility expands. The combined rate is then bounded by floor and ceiling limits and further scaled by an optional directional bias that applies different multipliers depending on whether price sits above or below the estimate:
eff_weight = eff_floor + (1.0 - eff_floor) * eff_ratio
vol_weight = math.min(math.max(1.0 / vol_ratio, 0.50), 1.75)
rate_sched = math.min(math.max(base_rate * eff_weight * vol_weight, rate_floor), rate_ceil)
kern_rate = rate_sched * bias
Six filter structures can be applied to the base update. Standard uses a single pass. Wilder halves the rate for smoother behavior. Double and Triple apply successive lag-compensated stages. Gaussian cascades four poles without compensation. Hull combines fast and slow passes then re-smooths the result. All structures receive the live scheduled rate so the adaptive weighting remains active.
A residual accumulator runs in parallel with the recursion. It retains a decaying memory of past residuals and applies a correction term that closes persistent offset during sustained trends. An optional ATR-based limiter can bound the accumulator to prevent overshoot after gaps or parabolic moves:
corr_acc := corr_acc * corr_decay + resid
estimate := kern_out + corr_weight * corr_acc
Directional state is derived from the slope of the finished estimate after a short smoothing window. A consecutive run of bars in the same slope direction must reach a confirmation threshold before the state is allowed to flip. This step prevents single-bar noise from reversing the trend color or firing alerts.
🟢 Signal Interpretation
▶ Bullish Trend (Long/Buy): When the smoothed slope of the estimate remains positive for the required number of confirmation bars, the indicator enters bullish state. The trend line and gradient layers switch to the bullish color. This condition identifies potential long or buy opportunities and remains active until an equal run of negative slope bars confirms a reversal.
▶ Bearish Trend (Short/Sell): When the smoothed slope remains negative for the required confirmation bars, the indicator enters bearish state. The visual elements switch to the bearish color. This condition identifies potential short or sell opportunities and holds until a confirmed positive run occurs.
🟢 Features
▶ Preconfigured Presets: Three parameter sets cover different trading approaches. Default targets swing trading on 1H to daily charts with balanced rate and confirmation. Fast Response raises the recursion rate and shortens confirmation for intraday charts where the indicator needs to adapt to shorter-duration moves. Smooth Trend lowers the rate and lengthens confirmation for position trading on daily and weekly timeframes, where the cost of a false flip is higher than the cost of a delayed one. Selecting a preset overrides the individual rate, efficiency, and state detection inputs.
▶ Built-in Alerts: Three alert conditions are provided. Bullish State Signal fires when the trend state flips from bearish to bullish. Bearish State Signal fires on the opposite transition. Any State Change combines both into a single notification.
▶ Visual Customization: Six color presets (Classic, Aqua, Cosmic, Cyber, Neon, Custom) coordinate the trend line and gradient layers. Optional bar coloring tints candles with the active state color at a configurable transparency.
*Tips: Layer the Recursive Kernel Trend with complementary analysis rather than treating it as a standalone trading tool. State flips hold most reliably when backed by participation, so combine each change with volume context, since a flip on expanding volume is far more likely to sustain than one on thin flow, and read the move against market structure, as a reversal that aligns with a clear swing high or low carries more significance than one in open space. Pairing this script with volume, open interest, CVD, market structure, and mean reversion indicators from our QuantAlgo toolkit can further validate a directional shift before entry. Indicator
Wyckoff Architectural Range - erdensedatThe "Wyckoff Architectural Probability Range" is an advanced, non-overlapping consolidation detector and liquidity sweep identification system. Designed to keep charts clean, it dynamically adapts to market volatility and focuses solely on the current active trading range.
Key Features:
- Dynamic ATR-Based Range Width: The indicator automatically adjusts its maximum allowed range width based on the asset's current volatility, ensuring it works seamlessly across both major assets (BTC, ETH) and highly volatile altcoins.
- Non-Overlapping Architecture: Historical ranges are completely removed upon a confirmed breakout, leaving only the active, actionable consolidation zone on your chart.
- Premium & Discount Zones: The range is mathematically divided into Premium (Top 25%), Equilibrium (Middle 50%), and Discount (Bottom 25%) zones. Internal EQ levels (0.4 and 0.6) are also projected.
- Advanced Retest Signals:
> Buy Signal: Prints when price crosses below the Discount EQ and subsequently retests and closes above it.
> Sell Signal: Prints when price crosses above the Premium EQ and subsequently retests and closes below it.
- Smart Liquidity Detection (Spring & UTAD): Automatically identifies and labels wick-based liquidity sweeps outside the range.
- Mean Reversion Probability: A dynamic stats panel calculates the mean reversion probability based on the current deviation from the main Equilibrium level.
- Built-in Alert System: Provides any() alert conditions for Buy/Sell signals, Spring/UTAD sweeps, and Range Breakouts.
- Optional VWAP: Toggle a standard VWAP line on or off directly from the settings for additional confluence.
How to Use:
Use the statistical panel and structural boxes to identify institutional accumulation (Discount Zone) and distribution (Premium Zone). Wait for confirmed retest signals (Triangles) or liquidity sweeps (Spring/UTAD) for high-probability mean-reversion entries.

Price Reaction ZonesPrice Reaction Zones (PRZ) is an advanced structural analytics tool designed for traders who focus on market microstructure, dynamic support/resistance levels, and liquidity sweeps. By blending traditional Change of Character (CHoCH) concepts with a custom-engineered "AXIS Motor", this indicator offers dynamic kinetic sensitivity and highly strategic Fibonacci-based target zones.
This script maps out historical structure ranges, isolates liquidity traps (sweeps), and projects tactical ghost vectors to evaluate micro-trend strength.
Key Features:
1. Smart Market Structure & Dynamic Fib Boxes
When a valid Break of Structure (BOS) or Change of Character (CHoCH) occurs, the indicator identifies the absolute extremes (Highest High and Lowest Low wicks) of the most recently broken structure.
Bullish CHoCH (Upward Break): Creates a dynamic Fibonacci box between 0.318 and 0.500 of the previous downward structure.
Bearish CHoCH (Downward Break): Creates a dynamic Fibonacci box between 0.618 and 0.790 of the previous upward structure.
These boxes act as immediate high-probability reaction zones for the very next wave. An Equilibrium (EQ - 0.5) limit line is also drawn to clearly divide the market bias.
2. External Ranges & Liquidity Sweep Detection
Instead of cluttering the chart with every single swing high or low, PRZ calculates an overarching "External Range" based on a lookback of the last 6 structural phases.
It automatically frames a beautiful Price Range Box mapping the exact tick difference and percentage span of the overarching macro structure.
Rejected Wick Logic (Sweeps): If price pierces the external High or Low boundaries but closes inside the range, a permanent "UP" or "DOWN" text is pinned to that wick. This signals a textbook liquidity sweep (a trap for breakout traders) and potential reversal.
Alerts are fully integrated for UP and DOWN sweep detections.
3. The AXIS Engine & Auto-Kinetic Sensitivity
Unlike static trendlines, the integrated AXIS Engine measures the "Velocity" of the market.
Auto-Kinetic Multiplier: By analyzing the real-time sum of bullish vs. bearish momentum (close to open differences) over a rolling window, the script dynamically adjusts the slope sensitivity of the resistance and support lines entirely independent of one another.
Tactical Ghost Vectors: Projects subtle, short-term momentum paths (Minor Lookbacks) to help you visualize the micro-trend inside the macro-structure, offering early warnings of momentum shifts before structural breaks happen.
4. Highly Customizable Interface
You have complete control over visualization. Tweak kinetic multipliers manually, adjust lookback lengths, alter Fibonacci box colors, and toggle lines to keep your chart as clean or as detailed as you prefer. A minimalist "erdensedat" watermark is embedded dynamically on the chart.
How to Use:
Use the Fibonacci boxes inside the latest active CHoCH range to enter pullbacks.
Watch the boundaries of the macro Price Range Box. Enter mean-reversion trades when "UP" or "DOWN" liquidity sweep labels appear.
Utilize the AXIS lines to trail your stops dynamically based on the current market velocity.

Reversal Scalper 2.0- Adib NooraniReversal Scalper - Smoothed Stoch & ATR Trend Filter
Hey everyone, I originally put this script together to help me scalp XAUUSD and Indian equities on lower timeframes, specifically to solve a problem I was having with standard momentum oscillators.
We all know the main issue with using a regular Stochastic for scalping: it’s great for spotting exhaustion, but when a strong trend kicks in, the oscillator just stays pegged in the overbought or oversold zones. If you try to trade those reversal signals blindly, you just get run over by the trend.
To fix this, I created a mashup that combines a smoothed Stochastic with a custom ATR-based structural trend ribbon. The whole point of combining these two indicators is to use the ATR bands to define the actual market structure, and only take the Stochastic reversal signals when the trend filter confirms that the push is actually exhausted.
How the math works:
First, the bottom oscillator (what I call the Reversal Strength Meter) is based on a standard 8-period Stochastic. But to cut out the erratic noise you usually get on the 1m or 5m charts, I ran it through a 5-period Simple Moving Average. It gives a much cleaner read on momentum.
Second, the background trend filter uses a long-term ATR (100-period, halved) multiplied by a deviation factor (default is 3). The script looks back at recent swing highs and lows to project a volatility channel. I linked this channel to the bar colors so you don't need to look at messy lines on your chart.
How to trade with it:
If the price breaks hard outside the ATR channel, the candles change color (white for a strong push up, black for a strong push down). When you see this, it means the trend is expanding—do not look for reversals, even if the Stochastic is at an extreme.
For Longs: Wait for a strong downward push that turns the candles black. Let the smoothed Stochastic dip below the 20 level. You only enter long when the candles go back to their normal color (showing the structural selling pressure has stopped) AND the stochastic crosses firmly back up above 20.
For Shorts: Wait for a bullish push that turns the candles white. Let the stochastic ride up above 80. Your short trigger is when the candles return to normal and the stochastic crosses back down below 80.
I left the inputs open so you can adjust the Stochastic lengths and the ATR deviation factor depending on what timeframe or asset you are trading. Hope this helps you guys filter out the fake outs. Indicator
LIQS and FIBS Scalp SystemOverview
The "LIQS and FIBS Scalp System" is an advanced Smart Money Concepts (SMC) and Price Action indicator designed for traders seeking high-probability scalping and day trading setups. Instead of relying on lagging indicators, this system dynamically maps critical liquidity sweeps, structure shifts, and optimal trade entry zones based entirely on pure price action.
Key Features
HTF Market Structure Bias (No EMA Lag):
The core of the system determines the main trend bias by tracking the most recent Break of Structure (BOS) or Change of Character (CHoCH) on your selected Higher Timeframe (HTF). If the HTF just broke a swing high, your bias is firmly Bullish. If it broke a swing low, your bias is Bearish. This ensures you are always trading in alignment with true institutional market structure, not a delayed moving average.
HTF Sweeps & Reversals:
Automatically identifies liquidity sweeps at Higher Timeframe highs and lows. It monitors price action around these key historical pivot levels and highlights potential reversal pinbars right at the sweep zones.
LTF BOS & CHoCH Logic:
Detects micro Break of Structure (BOS) and Change of Character (CHoCH) patterns to spot short-term momentum shifts in real-time, helping you catch the very beginning of a new leg.
Deep Fibonacci Setups & Runner Targets:
Following a valid CHoCH, the indicator automatically draws Fibonacci retracement zones (0.318 - 0.618) representing optimal entry points. It dynamically projects logical Stop Loss zones and extends up to Target 6 for runners to capture massive long-term trends:
Target 1 & Target 2 for short-term scalps.
Target 3 & Target 4 (3.618 - 4.236 extensions) for day trades.
Target 5 & Target 6 (5.618 - 6.854 extensions) to hold your runners and ride extreme trend continuation.
A-Plus Setup Filter & VWAP:
To protect you from fake breakouts and low-probability trades, the system validates every entry.
Pro-trend setups that align with both the HTF Structure Bias and the VWAP are highlighted with colored entry and target boxes.
Counter-trend or low-probability setups are visually muted (grayed out) so you can easily ignore them.
Built-in alerts notify you only when a micro CHoCH perfectly aligns with the HTF trend direction!
How to Use
Wait for price to sweep an HTF liquidity level, watch for a valid CHoCH in the opposite direction, and set your limit orders inside the highlighted 0.318 - 0.618 Fibonacci reaction box. Trust the colored boxes (A-Plus setups) and ignore the gray ones. Take partial profits at T1 and T2, then leave runners for the deeper T3 to T6 targets!

AlgoZ Pro Price ActionAlgoZ Pro Price Action is a clean price action based forex indicator built to help traders identify potential Buy, Sell, and Exit areas using a combination of market structure, trend filtering, volatility logic, and dynamic trade management.
This indicator is designed around the idea that not every trade needs to have a high win rate to be useful. Instead of only looking for quick scalp targets, AlgoZ Pro Price Action is built to manage trades with a runner-style approach. The goal is to cut weak trades faster, protect trades that start moving in the right direction, and allow stronger moves to continue when momentum is present.
The default settings are best suited for 1-minute EUR/USD forex trading. Other forex pairs and timeframes may work differently and should be tested before use.
The indicator uses market structure breaks to identify possible directional shifts. When price breaks key internal support or resistance levels, the script checks multiple filters before plotting a signal. These filters are designed to reduce low-quality signals during chop, weak momentum, or overextended conditions.
AlgoZ Pro Price Action includes Buy, Sell, and Exit labels directly on the chart. Buy signals are shown in teal, Sell signals are shown in pink, and Exit signals are shown in a neutral color. The bars can also be colored based on the active signal direction so it is easier to visually track the current market bias.
One of the main parts of this indicator is the trend lock system. The trend lock helps prevent the indicator from flipping back and forth too quickly during noisy market conditions. It uses EMA trend structure, slope behavior, and confirmation bars to decide whether the market is currently favoring Buy-side or Sell-side continuation. Countertrend signals must be stronger before they are allowed through, which helps reduce random reversal signals during an active move.
The indicator also includes automatic forex pair adjustment. It detects whether the chart is a JPY pair or a non-JPY forex pair and automatically adjusts pip size calculations. This helps prevent issues where a stop or exit calculation is too tight or too wide because of the symbol’s price format. The script also includes auto volatility tuning, which uses ATR-based logic to scale stop size, runner triggers, trailing stop distance, dead-trade protection, and cooldown behavior based on the current pair’s movement.
Trade management is handled through a dynamic exit engine. Instead of using only fixed take profit levels, the indicator uses runner logic. Once a trade moves far enough in profit, the trade can enter runner mode. From there, the script can move the stop, protect profit, and trail the trade if the move continues. This allows stronger trades to breathe while still giving the indicator a way to exit when momentum fades.
AlgoZ Pro Price Action also includes dead-trade protection. If a trade has been open for a certain number of bars and has failed to make meaningful progress, the script can plot an Exit signal. This is designed to help remove weak trades that are not moving enough to justify staying in them.
The indicator includes several optional filters and controls, including EMA trend filtering, ADX strength filtering, chop filtering, candle body quality filtering, minimum EMA separation, price distance from the slow EMA, overextension protection, post-exit cooldown, and emergency protection logic.
Main features include:
• Buy, Sell, and Exit labels
• Teal and pink AlgoZ Pro visual theme
• Price action and market structure based signals
• Internal support and resistance break logic
• Optional BOS / CHoCH structure markings
• EMA trend filtering
• ADX trend strength filter
• Chop and range filter
• Candle quality filter
• Trend lock system
• Countertrend signal protection
• Auto pip size detection
• Auto adjustment for JPY and non-JPY forex pairs
• ATR-based auto pair tuning
• Dynamic stop logic
• Runner-style trade management
• Breakeven / profit lock logic
• Trailing stop logic for stronger moves
• Dead-trade exit protection
• Optional bar coloring
• Optional entry and stop lines
• Optional status table
Recommended default use:
1-minute EUR/USD forex chart.

Nadaraya-Watson Trend [QuantAlgo]🟢 Overview
The Nadaraya-Watson Trend indicator estimates a smooth, adaptive trend path by applying non-parametric kernel regression directly to price. For each bar it weights historical values inside a configurable lookback window with a chosen kernel function, normalizes those weights, and returns a single endpoint estimate that forms the plotted trend line. Bandwidth and kernel type control how aggressively recent bars dominate the estimate, optional residual bands express how far price is dispersed around that path, and slope based coloring with reversal markers make direction and turning points readable at a glance across any timeframe or instrument.
🟢 How It Works
The indicator is built around a one sided Nadaraya-Watson (NW) estimator: only the current bar and past bars enter the calculation, so the path behaves as a causal smoother rather than a centered, repainting fit. The pipeline has three stages: kernel weighting over the lookback window, normalized regression into a single trend value, and optional residual band construction from the same estimate.
First, effective bandwidth is formed from the configured bandwidth and multiplier. Each lag distance is then mapped to a kernel weight. Gaussian and Rational Quadratic keep infinite support with different decay shapes. Compact kernels (Epanechnikov, Triangular, Quartic, Cosine) only assign weight while the normalized lag stays inside the unit interval:
kernel_weight(float dist, float h, string ktype, float rq) =>
float w = 0.0
if h > 0.0
float u = dist / h
if ktype == 'Gaussian'
w := math.exp(-(dist * dist) / (2.0 * h * h))
else if ktype == 'Rational Quadratic'
w := math.pow(1.0 + (dist * dist) / (2.0 * rq * h * h), -rq)
else if math.abs(u) <= 1.0
if ktype == 'Epanechnikov'
w := 0.75 * (1.0 - u * u)
else if ktype == 'Triangular'
w := 1.0 - math.abs(u)
else if ktype == 'Quartic'
w := (15.0 / 16.0) * math.pow(1.0 - u * u, 2.0)
else if ktype == 'Cosine'
w := (math.pi / 4.0) * math.cos(math.pi * u / 2.0)
w
float h = bandwidth * h_mult
Next, the Nadaraya-Watson path is computed as the normalized weighted average of the selected source across the lookback window. Nearer bars dominate when bandwidth is low. Weight spreads more evenly when bandwidth is high, producing a smoother path:
float sum_w = 0.0
float sum_p = 0.0
for i = 0 to lookback
float w = kernel_weight(i, h, kernel_type, rel_weight)
sum_w += w
sum_p += src * w
float nw_trend = sum_w != 0.0 ? sum_p / sum_w : na
Finally, residual bands can be drawn from a kernel weighted mean absolute residual of the source versus the current NW estimate, scaled by the band multiplier. When price is tightly clustered around the path the envelope contracts. When price is dispersed the envelope expands, framing extension and compression relative to the same estimator that defines the trend:
float sum_abs = 0.0
float sum_res_w = 0.0
for i = 0 to lookback
float w = kernel_weight(i, h, kernel_type, rel_weight)
if w > 0.0 and not na(src ) and not na(nw_trend)
sum_abs += w * math.abs(src - nw_trend)
sum_res_w += w
float residual = sum_res_w != 0.0 ? sum_abs / sum_res_w : na
float upper = not na(nw_trend) and not na(residual) ? nw_trend + residual * band_mult : na
float lower = not na(nw_trend) and not na(residual) ? nw_trend - residual * band_mult : na
🟢 Signal Interpretation
▶ Bullish Path (Rising NW Line with Bullish Color): When the Nadaraya-Watson estimate is increasing bar to bar, the path and optional gradient fill plot in the bullish color, reading as an uptrend in the kernel smoothed series. Treat this as a long bias: strongest on the reversal marker with price holding above the path, or on pullbacks that respect the path while slope stays up. Bias weakens if price loses the path and the slope flattens or flips down.
▶ Bearish Path (Falling NW Line with Bearish Color): When the estimate is decreasing bar to bar, the path and fill plot in the bearish color, reading as a downtrend in the kernel smoothed series. Treat this as a short bias: strongest on the reversal marker with price holding below the path, or on bounces that fail at the path while slope stays down. Bias weakens if price reclaims the path and the slope flattens or flips up.
▶ Residual Bands (Optional Envelope Around the Path): With residual bands enabled, the upper and lower lines track a scaled kernel weighted residual around the NW path. Touches or closes beyond the outer band highlight price stretched away from the estimate. Returns toward the path after an extension often mark mean reversion relative to the kernel trend rather than a full regime change. Band width is derived from how widely the source has been scattered around the current NW estimate inside the lookback window
🟢 Features
▶ Preconfigured Presets: Three parameter sets tuned for different trading styles and timeframes. "Default" delivers balanced trend estimation for swing trading on 1H to daily charts, smoothing short lived noise while still responding to genuine directional turns. "Fast Response" is built for intraday work on 5 minute to 1H charts, keeping the path tighter to recent structure so turns register earlier at the cost of more frequent reversals in chop. "Smooth Trend" is aimed at position style reading on daily and weekly charts, forming a more stable baseline that flips only when the kernel path itself shifts with more conviction. Kernel type, residual bands, and visual options stay independently configurable under every preset.
▶ Kernel Library: Six kernel functions expand how the same endpoint Nadaraya-Watson framework assigns weight across the window. Gaussian is the classic smooth default with infinite support. Epanechnikov, Triangular, Quartic, and Cosine are compact kernels that fully exclude bars beyond the bandwidth scale. Rational Quadratic keeps infinite support with heavier tails, and its Relative Weighting input controls how much influence farther bars retain versus a Gaussian like decay. Switching kernels changes the shape of the single plotted path without adding a second model or external oscillator.
▶ Residual Bands: Optional envelope around the NW path built from kernel weighted mean absolute residuals of the source versus the estimate, scaled by Band Multiplier. Enable when you want extension and compression context around the same trend line. Disable when you want only the path, gradient, and markers.
▶ Built-in Alerts: Five alert conditions support hands off monitoring. "Bullish Kernel Reversal" fires on the bar the path slope flips from down to up. "Bearish Kernel Reversal" fires on the bar the path slope flips from up to down. "Any Kernel Reversal" fires on either directional flip. "Source Cross Above Upper Band" and "Source Cross Below Lower Band" fire when the selected source crosses the residual envelope extremes. Alert messages include exchange, ticker, and timeframe for immediate context.
▶ Visual Customisation: Six color presets (Classic, Aqua, Cosmic, Cyber, Neon, and Custom) apply coordinated bullish and bearish colors to the path, gradient fill, residual bands, markers, optional bar coloring, and optional background coloring. Custom unlocks independent bullish and bearish color pickers. Gradient fill, residual bands, reversal markers, bar coloring, and background coloring can each be toggled so the chart stays as clean or as expressive as the workflow requires.

Description & user manual
Why this indicator is different
The opening range is one of the most studied concepts in intraday trading, and for good reason. The first fifteen minutes after a major session opens concentrates the most institutional activity of the day. Breakouts from that range, followed by a retest of the level, are among the most statistically consistent setups available on lower timeframes.
The problem is execution. Most opening range tools stop at the box. They draw a high and low, and leave the trader to figure out the rest: when to trade, how to confirm direction, where the liquidity sits, how to time the entry. That gap between the concept and a usable trade is where most ORB approaches fall apart in practice.
The ORB Engine closes that gap. It does not just draw a box. It tracks the full sequence from formation through confirmation through entry, enforces a discipline around when trades are allowed, maps the session liquidity levels that the price is most likely to target or react from, and scores each setup against five confluence criteria before a signal fires. The result is a complete framework for opening range trading that works across instruments and timeframes.
Important notice
The ORB Engine generates visual states based on price structure, volume confirmation, session timing, and liquidity context. These states are not financial advice. They do not predict future price movement. They do not guarantee profitability. All trading decisions are made entirely by the user. Always manage your own risk. Always apply your own judgment.
1. Overview
The ORB Engine is an overlay indicator that combines opening range detection, breakout confirmation, three entry modes, session liquidity mapping, and a five-point confluence scoring system into a single framework. It is designed for intraday scalping and day trading on any instrument and any timeframe below one hour.
What it includes:
- Opening range box (configurable start and end times) with high, low, and midpoint lines
- Wait period enforcement that blocks entries until the active window opens
- Master toggle to disable the wait period entirely for pure ORB breakout use
- Volume-confirmed breakout detection, active as soon as the box closes
- Three entry modes: midpoint retest, breakout retest, and immediate
- Stop loss and take profit lines (1:1, 1:2, 1:3) drawn on entry
- Trade close detection: dashboard and background reset when stop or final target is hit
- Session liquidity engine with live (dotted) and locked (solid) levels for Asia, London, and NY sessions
- Previous session levels with automatic P. prefix labeling
- Vertical session boundary lines at each session open and close
- Five-point confluence score shown in the dashboard
- Status background coloring: red during wait period, green after entry fires
- Full timezone support: all time inputs in the user's chosen UTC offset
- Dashboard with all live trade and session context
- Nine alert conditions
2. Core concepts
2.1 The opening range box
The box captures the high and low of a configurable time window at the start of the active trading session. The default is the first fifteen minutes of the New York session (14:00-14:15 Amsterdam / 08:00-08:15 New York), which concentrates the most institutional activity of the intraday day. The box is drawn as soon as it closes, with a solid high line, a solid low line, and a dotted midpoint line that extends as the session progresses.
The box range is shown in the dashboard. A narrow box suggests tight price discovery. A wide box suggests early volatility and may require a wider stop if trading it directly.
2.2 The wait period
Breakouts in the first sixty to ninety minutes after a major open are frequently false. Institutional players test liquidity in both directions before committing. The wait period blocks entries from firing until a configurable time, defaulting to 15:30 Amsterdam / 09:30 New York, when the first significant volume wave of the day typically confirms direction.
Critically, breakout direction is still tracked during the wait period. If price breaks above the box high at 14:30 and the wait ends at 15:30, the system already knows the direction is bullish when the active window opens. The entry trigger then watches for the configured retest from that point, without waiting for a new breakout signal.
The wait period can be disabled entirely with the master toggle. With it off, the entry triggers are active immediately after the box closes, which is useful for strategies that do not rely on the NY open timing.
2.3 Entry modes
Three entry modes cover the main ways traders approach ORB setups.
Midpoint retest: the most conservative mode. After a confirmed breakout, the indicator waits for price to pull back to the box midpoint, close on the correct side of it, and then fires the entry signal. This mode is best when the session shows clear reversion behavior after the initial breakout impulse.
Breakout retest: waits for price to retest the box boundary itself (high for a bull breakout, low for a bear breakout) after the initial breakout bar, and fires on a candle that touches the level and closes on the breakout side. This mode suits trending sessions where price breaks cleanly, pulls back briefly to the level, and then continues.
Immediate: fires directly on the confirmed breakout candle. If the breakout happened during the wait period, the entry fires on the first bar of the active window. This is the most aggressive mode and is appropriate when the trader expects strong directional continuation without a pullback.
2.4 Breakout confirmation
A breakout is not registered on a close outside the box alone. The breakout candle's volume must exceed the average volume by a configurable multiplier (default 1.3x). This filters breakouts driven by thin participation, which are more likely to fail on the retest. The volume average and multiplier are both adjustable.
2.5 Stop loss and take profit
The stop loss is placed beyond the opposite side of the box, with a small ATR-based buffer. The buffer multiplier is configurable, allowing tighter or wider placement depending on the instrument and timeframe.
Take profit targets are calculated at 1:1, 1:2, and 1:3 risk-to-reward ratios from the entry level, each toggleable independently. All active levels are drawn as dashed lines from the entry bar and labeled on the chart. The dashboard shows the price levels for active targets.
When the stop is hit or the final active take profit is reached, the dashboard resets to a neutral state. The chart lines remain as a visual record.
2.6 Retest timeout
The retest modes have a configurable bar-count timeout. If price does not return to the required level within that number of bars after the active window opens (or after the breakout, if the wait period is off), the setup expires. The dashboard shows the expired state. The default is 100 bars, which on a 1-minute chart is 100 minutes and on a 5-minute chart is roughly eight hours, so adjust this per timeframe and strategy.
3. Session liquidity engine
3.1 Why session levels matter
Price does not move randomly between sessions. The high and low of the Asia, London, and NY sessions represent pools of resting orders: stops clustered above highs, stops clustered below lows. These are the levels institutional flow targets first. A breakout above the ORB box that is also pushing toward an untested session high is a very different proposition from a breakout into empty space.
The ORB Engine maps these levels automatically and keeps them visible across the session, so the confluence between the ORB setup and the nearest liquidity pool is always visible at a glance.
3.2 Live and locked levels
While a session is in progress, the indicator draws dotted lines for the developing high and low. These lines update in real time as new extremes are set within the window. If price sweeps through what was the high at 03:00 before London has closed, the dotted line moves up immediately, reflecting the new developing high. This prevents the missed sweep problem where a level was set early and then exceeded without the chart updating.
When a session closes, the dotted lines are replaced by solid locked lines. These represent the final confirmed high and low of that session.
3.3 Tested and untested levels
Once a session closes, its levels are tracked for mitigation. If price returns to a locked level and wicks through it, the level is marked as tested by fading to a configurable transparency. It does not disappear. Tested levels can act as re-entry points or warn that a previous pool has been cleared. The untested level count in the dashboard tells you how many unmitigated levels are still active on the chart.
3.4 Previous session levels
When a new session begins, the previous session's locked levels are relabeled with a P. prefix (e.g., P.Asia.H, P.NY.L) immediately at the start of the new session, not when it closes. This makes it immediately clear which levels are current and which are historical. The show previous day toggle controls whether one additional day of locked levels is retained alongside today's.
3.5 Vertical session lines
Vertical lines mark the open and close of each session window in the session's color. Style (solid or dotted) and width are configurable. The lines appear only for the current day and are cleaned up automatically at the next session start.
4. Confluence score
The dashboard shows a five-point confluence score for the current setup, displayed as a bar-style meter (▰▰▰▱▱) with the numeric value alongside. The five criteria are:
1. Box formed: the opening range has closed and the high, low, and midpoint are locked.
2. Volume confirmed: the breakout candle exceeded the volume threshold.
3. Liquidity bias consistent: the breakout direction aligns with the nearest untested session level in that direction (e.g., a bull breakout with an untested high above is a stronger setup than a bull breakout with no untested level overhead).
4. Retest within time: the entry fired before the timeout expired.
5. Risk-to-reward viable: the stop distance is within a configurable multiple of the box range, confirming the setup is not overextended.
A score of 3 or above indicates a setup where multiple factors are confirming each other. A score of 1 or 2 means fewer criteria are met and the setup carries more uncertainty. The score updates live.
5. Timezone and session configuration
All time inputs in the ORB Engine are entered in the user's own timezone. Set your UTC offset once in the Timezone group at the top of the settings, and then enter box start, box end, active window start, session end, and all session liquidity windows in your local clock time. The indicator converts everything to New York time internally.
The dashboard shows a live local clock (Now), the box and active window times in your timezone (Box / Active), and the current UTC offset in the row label so the conversion is always visible.
This design means users in Amsterdam, Dubai, Singapore, or New York all configure the same indicator the same way, in the time they think in, without manually calculating offsets.
6. Status background coloring
The chart background changes state with the setup:
- No background: before the box forms, or after the session ends.
- Red tint: the box has formed and the wait period is active. Entries are blocked.
- Green tint: an entry has fired and the trade is active.
The background colors, their transparency, and whether they are shown at all are individually configurable. The default transparency is high enough to not obscure the candles.
7. Dashboard reference
The dashboard updates on every bar and shows:
Box Status - forming, formed, or —.
Box Range - the distance between the box high and low in ticks.
Wait Status - waiting with remaining minutes, active, disabled, or —.
Breakout - bull, bear, or none.
Entry Mode - the currently selected entry mode.
Midpoint Retest / Breakout Retest / Entry Trigger - the retest status: waiting, fired, expired, or —.
Entry - long, short, or —.
Confluence Score - the five-point bar meter and numeric value.
TP Levels - price levels for each active take profit target, or — if no trade is open.
Session / Untested - the current session name and the count of untested liquidity levels.
Now (UTC offset) - the current local clock time in the configured timezone.
Box / Active - the box window and active window start times in local time.
8. Alerts
Nine alert conditions are available:
- Bull breakout: a volume-confirmed close above the box high.
- Bear breakout: a volume-confirmed close below the box low.
- Long entry signal: a long entry trigger has fired.
- Short entry signal: a short entry trigger has fired.
- Long stop loss hit: the long trade stop has been reached.
- Short stop loss hit: the short trade stop has been reached.
- Long final TP hit: the long trade reached the final active take profit.
- Short final TP hit: the short trade reached the final active take profit.
- Near untested liquidity level: price is within a configurable ATR distance of an untested session level.
9. How to use
9.1 Basic workflow
Set your timezone. Enter the box and session times in your local clock. The wait period defaults to the New York 09:30 open equivalent in your timezone, which is when the most reliable ORB confirmations historically occur.
Let the box form. The dashboard shows the forming state during the box window and transitions to formed when it closes. The box range gives you an immediate read on how much price discovery happened.
Observe the breakout. The system detects breakouts as soon as the box closes, even during the wait period. The dashboard shows the breakout direction and a dot appears on the breakout candle. With the wait period on, the background turns red and entries are blocked.
Wait for the active window. When the wait period ends, the background stays neutral and the entry trigger activates. Depending on the entry mode, it is now watching for a midpoint touch, a boundary retest, or it already fired immediately at the open of the active window.
Check the score. A confluence score of 3 or above with a clean entry signal in the context of a nearby untested session level is the strongest combination the system can produce.
9.2 Entry mode selection
Use midpoint retest on sessions that show clear pullback behavior after the initial breakout impulse. Use breakout retest on sessions that trend strongly but pause briefly at the broken level before continuing. Use immediate when price is moving fast and a retest is unlikely, or when you want to be positioned as early as possible in the active window.
9.3 Session levels as context
Before entering any signal, check which session levels are nearby. An entry directly into an untested opposite-side level is likely to stall or reverse at that level. An entry away from all untested levels, in the direction of the next unmitigated pool, is a cleaner setup. The dashboard untested count and the live chart lines give you this context without any additional tools.
9.4 Illustrative bull scenario
Educational example only. Not a trading recommendation.
The opening range forms between 14:00 and 14:15 with a 20-point range. At 14:35, a candle closes above the box high on 1.6 times average volume. The breakout is confirmed as bull, and the wait period background turns red. At 15:30 the active window opens. Price is still above the box high and the midpoint retest mode is active. At 15:42, price dips back to the midpoint, wicks it, and closes above. The entry fires long. Score is 4/5: box formed, volume confirmed, retest in time, and RR viable. The NY.L below is the nearest untested level, well below the stop, so it is not a concern. TP1 is hit 18 minutes later.
9.5 Illustrative bear scenario
Educational example only. Not a trading recommendation.
A narrow 12-point box forms and breaks below the low at 14:28 on heavy volume. The breakout retest mode is selected. The wait period holds entries. At 15:30, price is trading 30 points below the box low. The system begins watching for a pullback back to the box low. At 15:44, price rallies back to the box low, taps it, and closes below. Short entry fires. Score is 3/5. Stop is placed above the box high with ATR buffer. TP2 is reached before the session ends.

11. Known limitations
The ORB Engine is designed for sessions that produce a directional move after the opening range. It performs best when the market has a clear bias — a breakout in one direction that holds and then retests cleanly before continuing.
In choppy, sideways price action, the indicator will produce repeated stop loss hits. If the opening range is narrow and price oscillates around the box boundaries without committing to a direction, a breakout in one direction can be followed immediately by a breakout in the opposite direction. Because the system locks breakout direction on the first confirmed move, subsequent reversals are not re-evaluated as a new setup within the same session. The result in choppy conditions is typically one or two stop loss hits before the session ends without a valid directional move.
This is not a flaw in the indicator — it reflects the reality that opening range strategies depend on directional follow-through. On days where the market is consolidating at the session open, no ORB approach will perform well. The confluence score provides some protection: a score below 3 indicates fewer confirming factors and may warrant sitting on the sidelines. The session liquidity levels can also help — if there is no clear untested level in the breakout direction, the setup has no obvious target and the probability of follow-through is lower.
The volume confirmation filter reduces false breakouts in thin conditions, but it does not eliminate them on highly volatile instruments where even noise candles can exceed the volume threshold. On assets with very low liquidity, the breakout volume multiplier should be raised above the default 1.3 to filter more aggressively.
On very low timeframes such as 1-minute charts, the retest timeout in bars covers fewer minutes. A timeout of 100 bars on a 1-minute chart gives 100 minutes of window. Adjust the timeout per timeframe to reflect how long a valid retest can realistically take on the instrument you are trading.

[ A L P H A X ] RESONANCE - Triple-RSI StackAlphaX RESONANCE — RSI Harmonic Engine: Triple-RSI Stack, Adaptive Exhaustion Zones, RSI Coil Release, Pivot Divergence Reversals & Five-Phase Market Classification
AlphaX RESONANCE is a professional-grade momentum and mean-reversion system built on a fundamentally different RSI architecture from any conventional oscillator overlay. Where standard RSI indicators use a single period and static overbought/oversold levels, RESONANCE runs three RSI instances simultaneously — a fast Pulse RSI, a medium Core RSI, and a slow Anchor RSI — each measuring a different temporal dimension of momentum, and combines them into a unified harmonic stack that classifies the current market phase, scores directional conviction, detects RSI bandwidth compression (the RSI equivalent of a volatility coil), and fires precision entry signals across four distinct setup types. The adaptive exhaustion zones replace fixed 70/30 thresholds with percentile-ranked dynamic levels calibrated to the current instrument's own RSI distribution — so the system's definition of "overbought" evolves with actual market behavior rather than staying fixed at an arbitrary number. The result is a system that reads momentum the way it actually behaves — in layers, in phases, and in cycles — rather than as a single oscillating line. Designed for traders across crypto, forex, gold, and indices on any timeframe.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🎵 The Harmonic Philosophy — Three RSI Periods, One Unified Picture
The core problem with a single-period RSI is temporal ambiguity. A 14-period RSI reading of 65 could mean the market is in a healthy trend with room to run, or a short-term overbought stretch about to snap back — the same number carries completely different meanings depending on whether the underlying trend is strong or weak. A fast RSI alone is noisy and prone to false signals. A slow RSI alone is too lagged to be actionable for entries.
RESONANCE solves this by running all three simultaneously and treating their relationship as the signal — not any single RSI value in isolation.
The three RSI layers:
Pulse RSI (default: 7 periods) — the fastest layer. Reacts immediately to price movements. Used for timing — detecting the exact bar of a snapback exit from an exhaustion zone, the crossing of the harmonic midline, and the moment a coil releases. The Pulse RSI is the trigger layer
Core RSI (default: 14 periods) — the standard intermediate layer. Used for divergence detection, slope measurement, and bandwidth compression. The Core RSI is the evidence layer — it confirms that the Pulse RSI signal has structural backing from a wider momentum view
Anchor RSI (default: 28 periods) — the slowest, most stable layer. Used for market phase classification. When the Anchor RSI is above 58 and rising, the market is in MARKUP. Below 42 and falling, MARKDOWN. The Anchor RSI is the context layer — it tells you the macro momentum environment within which all other signals must be interpreted
The harmonic stack:
RESONANCE defines a true harmonic alignment when all three RSI layers are stacked on the same side of the midline with aligned slopes — Pulse above 50, Core above 48, Anchor above 46 (with tolerance buffers to avoid false collapses on minor retracements). When all three are stacked and sloping in the same direction, the market has broad-based momentum conviction across fast, medium, and slow timeframes simultaneously. This triple-stack condition is the backbone of the HARMONIC BREAK setup and is the highest-weight component in the Resonance Score.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📊 Five-Phase Market Classification — The Harmonic Dashboard
Using the Anchor RSI as the primary reference and the Core RSI slope as a secondary differentiator, RESONANCE classifies the market into one of five phases on every bar. The current phase is displayed prominently on the dashboard as the HARMONIC row and determines which setup types are most appropriate to trade.
MARKUP:
Anchor RSI at or above 58 with a positive slope — the slow momentum layer confirms a sustained upward bias. The macro momentum environment is bullish. This is the primary background condition for HARMONIC BREAK long setups and SNAPBACK long entries that occur as the Pulse RSI dips to the adaptive oversold zone and recovers.
MARKDOWN:
Anchor RSI at or below 42 with a negative slope — macro momentum is bearish. Primary background for HARMONIC BREAK shorts and SNAPBACK short entries.
DISTRIB (Distribution):
Anchor RSI is above 52 (mildly bullish macro) but Core RSI is below the Anchor and its slope is negative — the intermediate momentum layer is diverging downward against the still-elevated Anchor. This is the distribution phase: the long-term bias has not yet shifted, but the medium-term momentum is beginning to roll over. A warning sign for bulls and an early-watch condition for bear setups.
ACCUM (Accumulation):
Anchor RSI is below 48 but Core RSI is above the Anchor and its slope is positive — intermediate momentum is recovering against a still-depressed Anchor. This is the accumulation phase: the macro bias has not yet turned bullish but buying pressure is building. An early-watch condition for bull setups.
COIL:
The RSI bandwidth (highest Core RSI minus lowest Core RSI over the coil lookback) has compressed below the average bandwidth by the configured multiplier. The market is in a momentum squeeze — all three RSI layers are converging toward neutral and the directional energy is compressing. This phase precedes the COIL RELEASE setup and is displayed with a purple tint to distinguish it from the directional phases.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📐 Adaptive Exhaustion Zones — Dynamic Overbought/Oversold
The standard RSI uses fixed overbought (70) and oversold (30) levels. These thresholds are problematic because every instrument has a different RSI distribution — a strongly trending equity might spend months above 70 and rarely touch 30, while a mean-reverting commodity might hit 70 and snap back immediately. Fixed levels produce the wrong trigger points for most instruments most of the time.
RESONANCE replaces fixed thresholds with adaptive exhaustion zones computed from the Core RSI's own historical percentile distribution:
Dynamic Overbought (dynOb):
The 82nd percentile of Core RSI readings over the adaptive zone lookback period (default: 100 bars). This means the overbought threshold is set at the level that Core RSI has exceeded only 18% of the time historically. When the Pulse RSI crosses above this level and then crosses back below it, the system detects a genuine exhaustion exit — not just a touch of an arbitrary 70 threshold, but an exit from a genuinely extreme reading for this specific instrument at this specific time.
Dynamic Oversold (dynOs):
The 18th percentile of Core RSI readings — the level that Core RSI has been below only 18% of the time. The oversold exit is a Pulse RSI crossover back above this level.
Self-calibrating behavior: During strongly trending markets, the adaptive thresholds shift upward (dynOb moves above 70, dynOs moves above 30) reflecting the fact that RSI stays elevated in trends. During ranging markets, the thresholds move toward 70/30 or tighter. The system always uses the statistically appropriate threshold for the current regime, automatically.
Dashboard display: The current dynamic oversold/overbought pair is displayed live on the dashboard as the ZONES row — e.g., "22 / 78" — updating continuously as new bars accumulate.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
⚡ RSI Coil Engine — Momentum Compression Detection
The RSI Coil Engine translates the volatility compression concept — so central to CATALYST, VECTOR, and PRISM — into the RSI domain. Instead of measuring price volatility compression, it measures RSI bandwidth compression: how much the Core RSI is oscillating relative to its recent average oscillation.
Coil detection:
On every bar, the system computes:
`RSI Bandwidth = Highest Core RSI over coilLen − Lowest Core RSI over coilLen`
This is then compared to the average bandwidth over the same period. When current bandwidth falls below `average × coilMult` (default: 0.72), the Core RSI is oscillating in a significantly tighter range than usual — all three RSI layers are converging. The inCoil boolean activates, the phase displays as COIL, and the dashboard COIL BW row shows "COMPRESSED."
Coil release detection:
A coil release is the transition from compressed (inCoil was true on the prior bar) to decompressed (inCoil is false on the current bar), accompanied by a Pulse RSI move of at least the configured minimum (default: 2.5 RSI points) in a single bar. This rapid Pulse RSI expansion is the momentum equivalent of a volatility breakout — the RSI bandwidth spring is releasing directional energy.
What the RSI coil captures: When all three RSI layers converge toward neutral with declining bandwidth, institutional participants are in a standoff — neither buyers nor sellers are winning the momentum battle. The coil release is the moment that standoff resolves, and the direction of the Pulse RSI's first large move after the release is the signal of who won. The COIL RELEASE setup capitalizes on this first-mover momentum advantage.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🏷 Four Setup Types — The Resonance Playbook
RESONANCE fires signals through four distinct setup types, each exploiting a different momentum pattern detected by the triple-RSI harmonic system. All four can be enabled simultaneously and the highest-priority qualifying setup is selected for each signal bar.
Setup priority order (when multiple qualify simultaneously):
COIL RELEASE → DIVERGENCE REVERSAL → HARMONIC BREAK → SNAPBACK
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Setup A — SNAPBACK (Adaptive OB/OS Exit)
The mean-reversion setup. Fires when the Pulse RSI exits the adaptive exhaustion zone with Core RSI confirmation.
Long conditions:
Pulse RSI crosses above the dynamic oversold level (dynOs) — exiting the adaptive oversold zone
Core RSI is rising on the current bar (rsiCore > rsiCore ) — intermediate momentum is recovering
Anchor RSI is within 8 points of the midline on the bullish side (anchor > midLine − 8) — the macro context is not severely bearish
A bullish rejection candle is present (close above open, close above prior close)
Why SNAPBACK is the timing-precision setup: The combination of the adaptive oversold exit (not fixed 30) and Core RSI confirmation means the signal only fires when the oversold reading is genuine by historical standards AND the intermediate momentum has already begun recovering. The Anchor RSI tolerance prevents SNAPBACK longs from firing in deeply bearish macro environments where mean-reversion is likely to fail.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Setup B — HARMONIC BREAK (50-Line Cascade)
The momentum-continuation setup. Fires when the Pulse RSI crosses the harmonic midline (default: 50) with all three RSI layers stacked in the same direction.
Long conditions:
Pulse RSI crosses above the harmonic midline from below
stackBull is true — all three RSIs are above their respective midline thresholds (Pulse > 50, Core > 48, Anchor > 46)
slopeBull is true — all three RSI slopes over 3 bars are positive (Pulse slope > 0, Core slope > 0, Anchor slope ≥ 0)
Why the triple-stack midline cross is significant: A single RSI crossing 50 is noise. When the Pulse RSI crosses 50 simultaneously with Core RSI already above 48 and Anchor RSI above 46 — all three slopes positive — it means the fast, intermediate, and slow momentum layers are all accelerating upward at the same moment. This is genuine broad-based momentum conviction, not a temporary oscillation. The cascade quality reflects institutional commitment across multiple momentum timeframes.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Setup C — DIVERGENCE REVERSAL (Pivot-Based)
The reversal setup using Core RSI pivot divergence. Fires when price makes a new extreme but Core RSI does not confirm it, within the adaptive exhaustion zone context.
Long divergence conditions:
A confirmed price pivot low is below the prior confirmed pivot low — price is making a lower low
The Core RSI at the same pivot low bar is above the Core RSI at the prior pivot low — momentum is making a higher low despite price's lower low
Core RSI at the divergence low is within 8 points of the dynamic oversold level — the divergence is occurring in a genuinely oversold context, not at neutral RSI
A bullish rejection candle confirms on or after the divergence bar
Pulse RSI is rising on the current bar
Current close is above the divergence low — price has recovered off the pivot
Divergence recency window:
Divergence is tracked with a live validity window — the divergence remains active for a configurable number of bars (default: divLen × 2). If no confirming rejection candle appears within this window, the divergence expires. This prevents acting on stale divergence signals that occurred many bars ago.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Setup D — COIL RELEASE (RSI Bandwidth Explosion)
The momentum breakout setup fired by RSI bandwidth decompression. The highest-priority setup in the selection hierarchy.
Long conditions:
coilRelease is true — the Core RSI was compressed on the prior bar and the bandwidth expanded this bar with a minimum Pulse RSI move
Pulse RSI is above the dynamic oversold level — the release is occurring on the bullish side of the exhaustion zone
slopeBull is true — all three RSI slopes are positive, confirming the release is directionally bullish
A bullish candle is present (close above open)
Why COIL RELEASE is the highest-priority setup: RSI bandwidth compression is the most reliable pre-breakout indicator within the RSI framework. When all three RSI layers have converged to the same neutral zone and then the bandwidth suddenly expands with a directional Pulse RSI move, the momentum suppression has lifted and the underlying institutional order flow has revealed its direction. This is the RSI equivalent of CATALYST's squeeze release — and like the squeeze release, the first bar of the release carries the highest momentum intensity of the entire move.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🧠 The Resonance Score — 10-Point Conviction Rating
Every bar, regardless of whether a signal fires, RESONANCE computes a directional conviction score from 0 to 10. This score is displayed live on the dashboard, shown on signal labels when Show Setup Tag is enabled, and used as the minimum gate for all signals — setups below the minimum score threshold (default: 5) are blocked regardless of their setup type conditions.
Score components:
RSI Stack Alignment (up to 2 points):
Full triple-stack (stackBull or stackBear — all three RSIs stacked) scores 2 points. Partial alignment (Pulse and Core both above midline but Anchor lagging) scores 1 point. No alignment scores 0. This is the highest-weight component — genuine triple-stack alignment is rare and carries the most institutional significance.
RSI Slope Agreement (up to 2 points):
All three RSI slopes positive (slopeBull) or all negative (slopeBear) scores 2 points. Pulse and Core slopes aligned (but Anchor flat or lagging) scores 1 point. No slope agreement scores 0. Momentum acceleration across multiple timeframes — not just direction but rate of change — is the key measure of this component.
RSI Hierarchy Alignment (1 point):
For bull: Pulse RSI above Core RSI and Core RSI approximately above Anchor RSI (within 3 points). For bear: Pulse below Core and Core below Anchor within tolerance. This checks that the RSI layers are in the correct relative order — the faster layer leading the slower, which is the natural configuration during genuine trending momentum.
HTF Bias (up to 2 points):
Higher timeframe EMA aligned with the signal direction scores 2 points. When HTF is disabled in settings, 1 neutral point is always awarded. When HTF is enabled and opposes the signal, 0 points.
Volume Expansion (1 point):
Current bar volume meets or exceeds the configured volume threshold.
Non-Chop Market (1 point):
Choppiness Index is below the configured threshold. Also enforced as a hard gate.
EMA Filter (1 point, optional):
Price is on the correct side of the configurable EMA. Off by default.
Grade thresholds:
A (8–10) — elite resonance. Triple-stack, slope agreement, HTF aligned, volume confirmed. The highest-conviction signal the system produces
B (6–7) — strong resonance. Most components confirmed
C (minimum to 5) — acceptable resonance. Passes the gate with partial confirmation
Signal accent colors: Grade A signals render in the brightest yellow-green (bull) or red (bear). Grade B in slightly dimmer versions. Grade C in transparent-tinted versions. The signal triangle's color communicates quality at a glance without reading the dashboard.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🎨 Candle Tinting and Phase Background
RESONANCE includes two optional chart coloring systems that provide continuous visual context even between signals.
Candle Tinting (showBarTint):
When enabled (default: on), candles are tinted yellow-green at 78% transparency during stackBull conditions and red at 78% transparency during stackBear conditions. During neutral periods (no full stack), candles retain their default color. This creates a continuous visual momentum ribbon directly on the price chart — you can see at a glance how long a triple-stack condition has been sustained, when it begins, and when it collapses.
Phase Background (showPhaseBg):
When enabled (default: off), a very subtle full-bar background color reflects the current harmonic phase — purple for COIL, faint yellow-green for MARKUP/ACCUM, faint red for MARKDOWN/DISTRIB. Off by default to preserve chart cleanliness, but valuable when studying phase transitions.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📊 Live Dashboard
The 14-row real-time dashboard displays the complete state of the harmonic RSI engine.
PHASE
HARMONIC — current market phase: MARKUP, MARKDOWN, ACCUM, DISTRIB, COIL, or NEUTRAL. Color-coded — purple for COIL, yellow-green for bullish phases, red for bearish phases
SETUP — the current or most recent setup with grade: e.g., "COIL REL ", "SNAPBACK ", "DIV REV ", or "ARM LONG " when approaching a trigger. ARM LONG / ARM SHORT appear when a setup condition is developing but the full signal has not yet fired
RSI STACK
PULSE — the live 7-period RSI value, color-coded yellow-green above the midline and red below
CORE — the live 14-period RSI value with the same color coding
ANCHOR — the live 28-period RSI value — the macro momentum reference
ZONES — the current dynamic oversold / overbought pair (e.g., "22 / 78"), displayed in orange. These are the adaptive exhaustion thresholds that the SNAPBACK setup watches
QUALITY
RESONANCE — the live directional conviction score out of 10. Yellow-green when at or above the minimum threshold, neutral otherwise
HTF BIAS — ▲ BULL, ▼ BEAR, or — FLAT from the higher timeframe EMA structure
CHOP — live Choppiness Index value. Orange when above the stand-aside threshold (the hard gate condition)
COIL BW — the current RSI bandwidth state: "COMPRESSED · xx.x" (purple) when in coil, "OPEN · xx.x" otherwise. When an active trade plan exists, the current TP1 level is appended to this row for quick reference
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📈 Chart Visual System
▲ Triangle (below bar) — bull entry signal. Size and color reflect the Resonance Grade — brightest yellow-green for Grade A, dimmer for B, transparent-tinted for C. COIL RELEASE and DIVERGENCE signals render in purple and orange accents respectively to distinguish them visually from SNAPBACK and HARMONIC signals
▼ Triangle (above bar) — bear entry signal with matching grade-based coloring
Setup Tag Label (optional) — when Show Setup Tag is enabled, a small label appears below (bull) or above (bear) the signal showing the setup abbreviation and grade (e.g., "COIL REL A"). Off by default for chart cleanliness
Candle Tinting — yellow-green at 78% transparency during stackBull, red during stackBear. Continuous momentum ribbon effect on the price chart
Phase Background (optional, off by default) — subtle full-bar tint for COIL (purple), MARKUP/ACCUM (faint yellow-green), MARKDOWN/DISTRIB (faint red)
Entry Line (dashed) — the entry close level, extending guideExtend bars forward when Show SL + TP1 + TP2 is enabled
SL Line (red dashed) — ATR-based stop loss level, extending forward
TP1 Line (lime dotted) — first take profit at 1.8× ATR from entry
TP2 Line (bright yellow-green dashed, width 2) — second take profit at 3.2× ATR from entry
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🚀 How to Trade with AlphaX RESONANCE — Step by Step
Step 1 — Read the Phase and Stack
Check the HARMONIC row on the dashboard. MARKUP or MARKDOWN with a confirmed triple-stack (candles tinted yellow-green or red) is the ideal background condition for HARMONIC BREAK and SNAPBACK entries
Check COIL BW — COMPRESSED means RSI bandwidth is in squeeze mode. Prepare for a COIL RELEASE signal on the upcoming bars
Check ZONES — how far is current price/RSI from the adaptive exhaustion levels? When the CORE RSI is approaching or inside the dynamic zone, a SNAPBACK is potentially developing
Check RESONANCE score. If it is already at or above the minimum before a signal fires, the conditions are favorable. Watch for the triggering setup condition to develop
Step 2 — Identify the Setup Developing
SETUP shows ARM LONG or ARM SHORT when a setup condition is partially met but the full signal has not fired. This is your preparation window — note the entry price, calculate SL and TP positions
COIL BW showing COMPRESSED → watch for the next bar's release. If SETUP shows ARM LONG during a coil, a COIL RELEASE long may fire on the next expansion bar
HARMONIC row switching from ACCUM to MARKUP → the Anchor RSI has crossed 58 and is rising. HARMONIC BREAK long conditions may soon be met as the Pulse RSI approaches the midline from below
Step 3 — Enter on the Triangle Signal
A triangle signal with Grade A coloring (brightest yellow-green or red) is the highest-conviction entry. Enter on the close of the signal bar or the next bar's open
Check which setup fired on the dashboard SETUP row. COIL REL is the premium setup. DIV REV is a high-quality reversal. HARMONIC is a premium continuation. SNAPBACK at minimum score warrants reduced size
Enable Show SL + TP1 + TP2 to see the ATR-based guide levels projected forward from the signal bar
Step 4 — Manage with RSI Context
During a long trade, monitor the PULSE RSI value. When it approaches the dynamic overbought zone (dynOb), partial profit at TP1 becomes prudent — momentum may be approaching exhaustion
If the phase transitions from MARKUP to DISTRIB during an open long trade (Anchor RSI still high but Core RSI rolling over), tighten the stop
If the candle tint disappears (triple-stack collapses), the momentum conviction has weakened — move stop to breakeven or take profit
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
⚠ Identifying Low-Quality Conditions — When Not to Trade
Stand aside when:
CHOP is orange on the dashboard — the hard gate is active. Extreme chop blocks all signals. RSI oscillates rapidly in choppy conditions and the triple-stack alignments are transient rather than structural
Phase shows NEUTRAL — none of the five phase conditions have been met. The Anchor RSI is in the middle zone (48–52) without a clear slope. Momentum conviction is absent at the macro level
RESONANCE score is exactly at minimum (5/10) — marginal confluence. In neutral or transitional market conditions, minimum-score signals fail at a significantly higher rate. Require 6+ before committing full size
COIL BW is COMPRESSED but no directional RSI slope is present — a coil without slope agreement means RSI has converged but without directional bias. The COIL RELEASE signal requires slopeBull or slopeBear to fire, but if the slopes are flat during the coil, the release direction is unpredictable — wait for a slope to develop before sizing up
HTF Bias opposes the stack direction — a bull triple-stack against a bearish HTF is a counter-trend momentum entry. These work but carry higher reversal risk. Reduce position size or require a Grade A score
SETUP shows ARM LONG but Anchor RSI is in severely bearish territory (below 35) — approaching a SNAPBACK long trigger against a deeply bearish Anchor is a mean-reversion trade against significant macro momentum. The Anchor RSI tolerance condition blocks the signal below midLine − 8, but values near that boundary are still high-risk
The ideal RESONANCE setup:
Phase MARKUP (bull) or MARKDOWN (bear) sustained for 5+ bars
Full triple-stack with positive slopes on all three RSIs
COIL BW just releasing from COMPRESSED state (COIL RELEASE setup) OR Pulse RSI crossing the midline with stack and slope confirmed (HARMONIC BREAK)
HTF aligned with stack direction
Volume above average on the signal bar
RESONANCE score at 8–10 (Grade A)
Chop Index well below threshold

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🎯 Recommended Settings by Instrument & Timeframe
The default configuration is optimized for XAUUSD, major forex pairs, and crypto on M5–H1 :
Triple RSI at 7/14/28 — the 2× doubling ratio creates clean harmonic separation between the three layers. Each layer is exactly twice as slow as the prior one, producing independent but harmonically related readings
Adaptive zone lookback at 100 bars — approximately 8 hours on M5, sufficient to calibrate the percentile distribution to current intraday volatility conditions
Coil multiplier at 0.72 — requires RSI bandwidth to fall below 72% of its average to declare compression. Tight enough to catch genuine coils without excessive false compressions
Resonance minimum at 5 — balanced between frequency and quality. Raise to 6–7 for higher conviction filtering
For other instruments or timeframes, adjust:
M1–M3 scalping — reduce RSI periods to 5/9/18, reduce Adaptive Zone Lookback to 60, reduce Cooldown to 3, reduce Guide Extend to 15, reduce Coil Release Min to 1.5
H4–Daily swing trading — increase RSI periods to 9/21/42, increase Zone Lookback to 200, increase TP2 to 5.0× ATR, raise Min Resonance to 6
Crypto (BTC, ETH) — increase Adaptive Zone Percentile High to 85 and Low to 15 for the wider RSI distribution of crypto. Increase Coil Release Min to 3.0 for the larger single-bar RSI moves
Indices (NAS100, US30) — use EMA Price Filter with a 50-period EMA, increase Min Resonance to 6, restrict via session filter to cash market hours
More signals — lower Min Resonance to 4, reduce Cooldown to 3, enable all four setups, widen adaptive zone percentiles (75/25)
Ultra-selective only — raise Min Resonance to 7–8, enable Hard HTF Alignment, enable EMA Price Filter, require Grade A minimum (increase minResonance to 8), disable SNAPBACK
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
👥 Who This Is For
📊 Momentum and RSI traders who want more than a single oscillator — RESONANCE is the definitive multi-period RSI implementation in the AlphaX suite. Three periods, five phases, four setups, and a 10-point scoring system replace the single-line RSI with a complete momentum intelligence framework
🎵 Traders who understand that momentum has layers — the 7/14/28 harmonic stack separates fast momentum (entry timing), intermediate momentum (structural backing), and slow momentum (macro context) into three distinct readings that must align before the highest-quality signals fire
📐 Traders who struggle with fixed RSI overbought/oversold levels — the adaptive exhaustion zones calibrate to the actual RSI distribution of the current instrument at the current time, producing thresholds that are statistically meaningful rather than arbitrary
⚡ Volatility coil traders who want the RSI-domain equivalent — the RSI Coil Engine applies the compression-and-release concept from CATALYST to the momentum domain, detecting RSI bandwidth squeezes that precede explosive directional moves
🔀 Mean-reversion and trend-following traders simultaneously — SNAPBACK entries are mean-reversion (adaptive OB/OS exits). HARMONIC BREAK entries are trend continuation (triple-stack midline). Both are available within the same system, automatically selected based on which fires first
🥇 Gold and forex intraday traders — the 7/14/28 RSI stack with adaptive zones is particularly effective on XAUUSD and major forex pairs where the RSI distribution shifts significantly between trending and ranging sessions
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📝 Notes
All signals are confirmed on bar close — the indicator is non-repainting by design. All RSI computations, stack alignments, divergence detections, and confluence scoring finalize on confirmed bars
The adaptive exhaustion zones require the full Adaptive Zone Lookback period to calibrate. On charts with fewer bars than the lookback setting, the dynamic thresholds may not reflect accurate percentile distributions. Allow at least the full lookback period (default: 100 bars) to accumulate before treating the SNAPBACK setup as fully calibrated
The RSI Coil Engine's bandwidth average also requires the Coil Lookback period to stabilize. On fresh chart loads, the COMPRESSED state may trigger briefly before the average has fully computed — this resolves naturally within the coil lookback period
The divergence validity window (divLen × 2 bars after detection) means divergence signals can fire up to 10 bars (default divLen 5 × 2) after the actual pivot low or high. The confirming candle requirement prevents stale divergences from generating signals without fresh price confirmation
The candle tinting applies the stackBull/stackBear condition which uses a ±2 to ±4 tolerance buffer around the midline for Core and Anchor RSIs. This prevents the tinting from flickering on and off as Core or Anchor RSIs oscillate near the midline. The tint represents sustained broad stack alignment, not momentary
Guide lines (SL, TP1, TP2) are only drawn on the last bar and are redrawn whenever a new signal fires. They reflect the most recent active trade plan
The indicator does not track open positions or P&L; and does not connect to any broker or account

Price Action Breakout Trend [QuantAlgo]🟢 Overview
Price Action Breakout Trend is a trend-following indicator built on structural range breakouts rather than moving average crossovers or oscillator thresholds. It tracks the highest high and lowest low of a defined lookback window to establish the levels price must decisively clear to confirm a directional shift, anchoring a trailing stop that ratchets in the trend's direction and reverses only when price breaks through it, helping traders distinguish genuine trend continuation from the shallow pullbacks that punctuate every sustained move across all timeframes and markets.
🟢 How It Works
The foundation of the indicator is the range defined by recent price extremes. On each bar it references the highest high and lowest low of the prior lookback window, excluding the current bar so the reference range is locked in before price interacts with it:
prior_high = ta.highest(high, lookback)
prior_low = ta.lowest(low, lookback)
These two levels frame the breakout boundaries. Rather than reacting to every marginal touch, the indicator lets you define what qualifies as a genuine break through the confirmation setting, which determines whether the closing price or the full bar extreme is tested against the trailing stop:
test_down = confirmation == 'Close' ? close : low
test_up = confirmation == 'Close' ? close : high
From these, a single trailing stop is maintained on the active side of the trend. While the trend holds bullish the stop ratchets upward, advancing to track the rising lookback low and never loosening, and the trend reverses the moment the tested price breaks below it:
if trend == 1
trail := math.max(trail, prior_low)
if test_down < trail
trend := -1
trail := prior_high
On that reversal the stop immediately re-anchors to the opposite extreme, flipping above price to begin trailing the new downtrend, where the mirror of this same logic ratchets the stop lower and flips the trend back to bullish once price breaks above it. Because the reversal is triggered by the same stop price has been trailing, the line is not a passive overlay but the actual decision boundary, with no separate signal calculation sitting behind it. This makes the indicator a continuous stop-and-reverse system that always holds a committed direction, retaining its bullish or bearish reading through every pullback contained within the range until price clears the trailing level.
🟢 Signal Interpretation
▶ Bullish Trend (Green): When price breaks above the trailing stop and the trend flips up, the indicator enters bullish mode with green coloring applied across the stop, gradient fill, and breakout levels. The stop sits below price and ratchets higher as the trend develops, and the reading holds through pullbacks that stay above it. The flip into green, marked by an up triangle beneath the bar, identifies a potential long/buy opportunity, with subsequent pullbacks toward the rising stop offering potential continuation entries while the trend remains intact.
▶ Bearish Trend (Red): When price breaks below the trailing stop and the trend flips down, the indicator enters bearish mode with red coloring across all visual elements. The stop sits above price and ratchets lower as the decline extends, holding bearish through rallies that fail to reclaim it. The flip into red, marked by a down triangle above the bar, identifies a potential short/sell opportunity, with rallies back toward the falling stop offering potential continuation entries on the downside.
🟢 Features
▶ Preconfigured Presets: Three parameter sets cover different trading approaches. "Default" targets swing trading on 4-hour and daily charts with a 10-bar lookback and close-based confirmation, filtering marginal breaks while staying responsive to genuine shifts. "Fast Response" shortens the lookback to 5 bars and switches to wick-based confirmation for intraday charts, where the trend needs to flip as soon as price trades beyond a recent extreme. "Smooth Trend" extends the lookback to 25 bars with close confirmation for position trading on daily and weekly timeframes, where the cost of a false flip exceeds the cost of a delayed one. Selecting a preset overrides the individual lookback and confirmation inputs.
▶ Built-in Alerts: Three alert conditions cover all directional states. "Bullish Breakout Signal" fires on the bar where the trend confirms bullish. "Bearish Breakout Signal" fires on the bar where it confirms bearish. "Any Breakout Signal" combines both into a single condition for traders who want a unified notification regardless of direction.
▶ Visual Customization: Six color presets (Classic, Aqua, Cosmic, Cyber, Neon, and Custom) apply coordinated bullish and bearish schemes across the trailing stop, gradient fill, breakout levels, markers, and optional bar and background coloring. Independent toggles control each visual layer, so the trailing stop line, the gradient fill that ramps from the stop toward price, the triangle markers printed on each flip, and the underlying breakout levels that frame the active range can each be shown or hidden without affecting the others. Bar coloring tints price candles with the active trend color at a configurable transparency, and background coloring extends the directional tint across the full chart pane. Both are disabled by default and controlled independently.
*Tips: Layer the Price Action Breakout Trend with complementary analysis rather than treating it as a standalone trading tool. Breakouts hold most reliably when backed by participation, so combine each flip with volume context, since a break on expanding volume is far more likely to sustain than one on thin flow, and read the level being cleared against market structure, as a breakout through a well-established swing high or low carries more significance than one in open space. Pairing this script with volume, open interest, CVD, market structure, and mean reversion indicators from our QuantAlgo toolkit can further validate a breakout before entry. Indicator
SmartTraders Research Labs -Geometric Trend Lines - GTLGEOMETRIC TREND LINES (GTL)
GTL is a research indicator that studies the geometry of price structures. It freezes structural anchors in the past, stretches two right-triangles between those anchors and the live candle, and reads their angles inside a dimensionless coordinate space — then learns from every completed structure to estimate, with calibrated statistics, which way the current one is leaning. It is a structural analysis and research tool, not a trading system.
█ STEP OUT OF THE CHART PLANE
Every trader has drawn a trendline and called it steep. Steep compared to what? Stretch the chart window and the angle flattens. Jump from Bitcoin to a quiet blue-chip stock and a "45-degree rally" becomes a completely different animal. The chart plane mixes two quantities that were never meant to share axes — price and time — so any angle drawn on it is a property of your zoom level, not of the market.
My standard, before any geometry begins, is to take the shape out of the chart plane entirely. GTL maps every point into an Isotropic Coordinate System (ICS) where both axes are pure numbers:
y = log(price) / σ
x = bars / lookback
Price is expressed in units of the instrument's own volatility (σ, estimated with the Yang-Zhang method over 500 bars), and time in units of the analysis window. Nothing on either axis carries dollars, lira, satoshis or minutes anymore.
In this space, a degree finally means something. The angle
θ = atan(Δy / Δx) × 180 / π
is intrinsic: a 60° ceiling angle on gold's 30-minute chart describes the same geometric event as a 60° ceiling angle on a 3-minute meme-coin chart. The instrument's personality — its price level, its tick size, its temperament — has been normalized away, and what remains is pure trajectory. Everything else in this indicator stands on that ground.
The same rally, two zoom levels, two different angles — and on the right, the dimensionless ICS home where θ finally becomes a property of the market, not of your screen.
█ THE TRIANGLE — A SHAPE THAT CARRIES DATA
Of all the shapes humanity has leaned on, the triangle is the one that never let us down. It raised the pyramids, it holds every bridge truss and roof frame you have ever walked under, and it is the only polygon that cannot be deformed without changing the length of a side. Engineers call that property rigidity. I read it as trustworthiness — a triangle does not lie about its geometry.
That is why I chose it as the measuring instrument. On every structure, GTL constructs two right-triangles inside ICS:
The ceiling triangle — from the frozen HH anchor to the live candle's high.
The floor triangle — from the frozen LL anchor to the live candle's low.
Each triangle is not a drawing; it is a container. Four measurements live inside it at every bar:
θ — the signed angle of the hypotenuse, the indicator's core reading
Δy — the signed magnitude of the move in volatility units
area — the geometric surface the structure has swept
centroid — the shape's center of mass in ICS
While price grinds below a frozen ceiling, the ceiling angle sinks degree by degree into negative territory. When price presses up from a frozen floor, the floor angle climbs. Two triangles breathe with the market — one watching from above, one from below — and their angles are the raw language everything downstream of this indicator speaks.
One triangle watches from above, one from below — and θ, Δy, area and centroid live inside each of them.
█ AN ANCHOR IN THE PAST — MEASURING FROM CALM WATER
Picture a storm at sea, and two people trying to measure the waves. One stands on the shore. One sits in a boat, right among them. The observer on the shore, feet on solid ground, reads the height of every wave with precision — however wild the water gets, the ground beneath him does not move. The observer in the boat rises and falls with the very thing he is trying to measure; every number he writes down is contaminated by his own motion.
Most swing-based tools are the observer in the boat. Their reference points — the latest swing high, the latest swing low — are redefined by the market again and again, so any angle or distance measured from them mixes two movements at once: the price's, and the reference's own.
GTL plants its observer on the shore. At the birth of every structure, the highest high and the lowest low of the lookback window are frozen — locked to a fixed bar in the past — and from that moment they do not move. Every angle is measured from calm, settled water toward the storm of the live candle. The reading stays pure: when θ changes, it is because price moved, and for no other reason.
The anchors hold until price closes beyond one of them. That close is the break — the moment the structure completes, is archived with its full geometry, and a fresh pair of anchors freezes for the next chapter.
One naming note, so the chart reads correctly: what GTL labels HH and LL are these frozen anchor levels, not the traditional trailing swing highs and lows.
Solid ground measures the storm precisely; a boat measures mostly itself — GTL is the observer on the shore, and the frozen box below is exactly that shore.
█ WHY 23 — A PRIME WINDOW
The lookback window — the number of bars GTL scans before freezing a new pair of anchors — defaults to 23. The choice is arithmetic, not aesthetic.
23 is prime: its only divisors are 1 and itself. Stated as a condition,
gcd(23, k) = 1 for every k < 23
For a rolling window, that matters mechanically. If a periodic component of length k shorter than the window is present in the data, the window boundary does not keep meeting that component at the same phase. Because 23 and k are coprime, the alignment steps through all k possible phase offsets before it repeats. A composite window gives that protection away: 24 divides cleanly by 2, 3, 4, 6, 8 and 12, so components at those lengths can meet repeated window boundaries at the same phase, allowing anchor placement to inherit regularity from the measuring frame itself.
Engineering solved the same problem with hunting-tooth gear design: tooth counts are chosen coprime so each tooth eventually meshes with every counterpart, instead of the same pairs meeting forever and wearing a repeated pattern into the metal. Periodical cicadas offer a biological analogy — 13- and 17-year emergence cycles, both prime, reduce overlap with shorter recurring cycles.
This is a design principle stated in number theory, not a performance claim. A prime window does not make GTL better by itself, and it does not prove anything about future price. It simply reduces one avoidable source of arithmetic resonance, so repetition in the readings is less likely to be created by the measuring window. The lookback remains a user input; 23 is the default I stand behind.
Every window from 20 to 25 shares a divisor with at least one shorter cycle length — 23 is the only empty row, which is exactly why it is the default.
█ HOW THIS SERIES IS BUILT — CSV OUT, ANALYSIS IN
This episode follows a working method I now treat as the standard for the whole series: nothing ships on intuition alone. The indicator exports its own internal life — every angle, every structure, every break — as plain columns in the Data Window, ready for CSV export. Before publication, those exports were analyzed with AI assistance across a deliberately diverse panel:
7 instruments × 2 timeframes = 14 datasets
gold, Bitcoin, Tesla, Brent crude, Turkish Airlines, Dogecoin, Saudi Aramco
30-minute and 3-minute bars — roughly 550,000 bars, ~30,000 completed structures
What came back from that study entered the code as design decisions, not as promises. Exactly five constants in the learning layer are hard-coded. They are not presented as universal truths or performance guarantees; they are documented design constants selected from the development study and kept fixed so the live model remains transparent and reproducible:
CAL_LAMBDA = 0.999 — fading-factor decay for the calibration counters
CAL_JUMPTH = 2.0 — empirical jumpiness threshold between steady and choppy estimates
CAL_MINW = 30 — minimum effective sample weight before a calibration cell is trusted
CAL_ROLL = 20 — length of the live recent-record window
JUMP_WIN = 5 — bars used for the short-term stability measurement
The methods behind the layer are standard enough to be named — fading-factor prequential counting for online calibration, adaptive Gaussian KDE for local probability estimation, and Kish-style effective sample size for weighted evidence — and the next section walks through each of them with its reference. The fixed values above are GTL's calibrated defaults from that study, not claims that these numbers are optimal for every market, symbol, or timeframe. Everything else the statistics need — bandwidth, confidence, significance — is computed live from the chart's own history.
Two honest disclosures. First, this analysis is development documentation, not an independent audit, and this description makes no accuracy claims from it. Second, the same door is open to you: every column used in that study is exported by the script itself, so you can pull the CSV from your own chart and put the same questions to any tool you trust.
The build loop of this series: the script exports its own life as CSV, analysis turns it into five documented design constants, and the same door stays open to every user.
█ FROM GEOMETRY TO STATISTICS — THE MATH, WITH ITS REFERENCES
An angle is a measurement; an estimate is a statement. Moving from one to the other honestly requires statistics. GTL does not present this layer as a private invention. It combines established statistical components, named here with their sources, and applies them to one specific object: the geometry of frozen price structures.
Volatility normalization. The σ in the ICS y-axis comes from the Yang-Zhang volatility estimator (Yang & Zhang, Journal of Business, 2000). It uses open, high, low and close data, including overnight, open-to-close and Rogers-Satchell-style range components. In GTL, this is what lets angles be measured in volatility-normalized space instead of raw price units.
Local probability. While a structure is alive, its current angle pair (θC, θF) is compared with archived breaks. Each historical break receives a Gaussian weight that decays with distance in angle space. This is a Gaussian KDE-style local weighting scheme. Its bandwidth follows Silverman's rule-of-thumb logic for two dimensions, h = σ̂ · n^(−1/6), recomputed from the chart's own history. Nothing is manually tuned.
Honest sample size. Weighted evidence can look larger than it really is: many tiny weights are not the same as many strong neighbors. GTL therefore uses the Kish effective sample size (Kish, Survey Sampling, 1965),
n_eff = (Σw)² / Σw²
to estimate how much effective evidence the weighted neighborhood actually contains.
Probability with humility. The weighted up/down vote is passed through a Beta(1,1) posterior, using n_eff as the effective evidence scale. The label only speaks when the posterior mean clears a one-sided 95% normal-approximation check against the 50/50 baseline. When that threshold is not met, the label does not force a call; it simply says the structure is too close to call.
Verification. The principle that probability forecasts must be scored against what actually happened goes back to Brier's 1950 paper in Monthly Weather Review, "Verification of Forecasts Expressed in Terms of Probability." In GTL, every estimate is graded when the break reveals the outcome.
Online calibration. Graded outcomes update fading-factor prequential counters, following the stream-learning evaluation framework of Gama, Sebastião and Rodrigues (Machine Learning, 2013). Fresh evidence receives more weight, while older evidence decays with λ = 0.999. The display can therefore show both the raw estimate and how estimates of the same kind have behaved on the current chart.
Stability. GTL also tracks estimate "jumpiness": the population standard deviation of the last five probability readings. The term and the general idea come from ensemble-forecast consistency research, especially Zsóter, Buizza and Richardson (Monthly Weather Review, 2009). GTL uses a chart-specific adaptation of that idea: a steady estimate and a choppy estimate are labeled differently, because a choppy estimate may still flip.
Nothing in this chain is exotic, and none of it is a performance guarantee. The original part is where the chain is pointed: at frozen structural geometry, measured inside a dimensionless coordinate space.
█ WHAT YOU SEE ON THE CHART
Frozen anchors. Two dashed horizontal lines mark the frozen HH and LL of the current structure, each with its exact level, and a dotted vertical line marks the anchor bar in the past where the freeze happened. These lines do not trail price — that is the whole point.
Geometric trend lines. Two solid lines run from the anchors to the live candle: ceiling from HH to the current high, floor from LL to the current low. They are the triangle hypotenuses. When the two lines converge, they stop at their intersection instead of crossing. The live θC and θF values sit as labels at the anchor.
Structure boxes. Every completed structure is archived as a box: one border color for structures that broke up, another for structures that broke down, and a dashed box for the structure still being built. How many past boxes you see is your choice.
Angle map. A table sorts the recent breaks by their break angles — ceiling side and floor side, each with direction and duration. An arrow row shows where the current live reading ranks among them, so you can literally see where "now" sits in the break history. The footer row carries the up/down estimate; once the calibration cell has enough samples, it shows two numbers, raw → calibrated.
Estimate label. A label floats ahead of the last candle and speaks in sentences: which direction the odds favor, what signals of this kind have actually done on this chart (or the estimated odds while calibration is still warming up), whether the signal is steady or choppy, and a living record — how many of the last 20 estimates were right. It only takes a side when the significance check passes; otherwise it says, honestly, that the structure is too close to call.
The pending phase. Between a break and the next freeze, preview anchors appear as dotted gray lines, the table shows an hourglass, and the estimate quietly switches to a second model trained on pending-phase angles to estimate the direction of the NEXT structure's break.
One disclosure that matters: on the live bar, angles and estimates can change until the candle closes. Everything the indicator learns from — and every alert it fires — reads confirmed bars only.
█ UNDER THE CHART — 29 EXPORTED COLUMNS
Everything drawn above is only a rendering. The numbers underneath are all exported to the Data Window, which means PulseWire's "Export chart data" hands you a complete CSV audit trail:
Live geometry & estimate, every bar:
Ceiling θ / Floor θ — the two live angles in ICS
Probability UP / Probability DOWN — the per-bar estimate (these two are also plots, so you can build threshold alerts on them directly)
Log Jump Bar — the stability (jumpiness) of the estimate
Log Cell Bar — which calibration cell this bar fell into
Structure snapshot, printed on every break bar:
Str Duration — how many bars the structure lived
Str Frozen HH / Str Frozen LL — the anchor levels
Str Max High / Str Min Low — the extremes reached inside
Str θ Ceil @Max / Str θ Floor @Min — the angles at those extremes
Str Break Dir — +1 up, −1 down
Estimate audit trail, on birth and break events:
Log Event — 1 = birth, 2 = break, 3 = both on one bar
Log θC Birth / Log θF Birth / Log P Birth / Log Sig Birth / Log nEff Birth — the forecast made the moment the structure was born
Log θC Pend / Log θF Pend / Log P Pend / Log Sig Pend / Log nEff Pend — the pending-phase forecast carried into this break
Log Hit Birth / Log Hit Pend — each forecast graded 1 or 0 against the actual break
Log Acc Birth / Log Acc Pend — the running accuracy of each estimate type
This is the same door the development study walked through. Export the CSV from your own chart, open it in a spreadsheet, in Python, or hand it to an AI assistant — and audit every sentence the label has ever told you.
█ SETTINGS THAT STAY OUT OF YOUR WAY
The settings menu is deliberately small: the lookback window, a few visual choices — colors, transparency, border style, table position, label size and offset, how many past boxes to show — and simple on/off toggles. That is the whole surface, because everything statistical is computed live from the chart itself: the KDE bandwidth from Silverman's rule, the effective sample size from Kish's formula, significance from the posterior, the calibrated rate from the fading counters, the pending-phase model switching in and out on its own. There is nothing to tune, and that is by design. The five documented constants from the development study are the only fixed numbers in the machine.
█ ALERTS
Three alerts cover the estimate's life cycle: Signal turns up, Signal turns down, and Signal gets choppy. Each fires once, on entering its state, and reads only confirmed bars — so what fired is what you will still see on the closed candle. For custom thresholds, Probability UP and Probability DOWN are exposed as plots: build Crossing Up or Greater Than alerts on them directly in PulseWire's alert dialog, at any level you like, as many as you like. Recommended frequency: Once Per Bar Close.
█ SEVENTEEN LANGUAGES
The angle map, the anchor labels and the estimate label speak 17 languages: English, Türkçe, Deutsch, Italiano, Français, Español, Bahasa Indonesia, Bahasa Melayu, Ελληνικά, Русский, 中文, 日本語, 한국어, हिन्दी, العربية, فارسی and עברית. Right-to-left scripts — Arabic, Persian, Hebrew — mirror the table layout automatically. One honest limitation: input settings and alert messages stay in English, because Pine requires compile-time constant strings there.
█ WHAT THIS IS — AND WHAT IT IS NOT
GTL is a research and structural analysis tool. It measures the geometry of frozen price structures, keeps honest statistics about its own estimates, and shows you both — the raw number and the track record, side by side. It is not a trading system, its estimates are not trade signals, and nothing in this script or this description is financial advice. The calibrated rates describe what has already happened on your chart's own history; they are not a promise about the next bar. On the live candle, readings can change until the close — confirmed statistics and learning update on closed bars only.

Monotonic Trend Consensus [QuantAlgo]🟢 Overview
Monotonic Trend Consensus is a trend-following oscillator built on rank correlation between price and time rather than moving averages or crossovers. It scores how consistently price is ordered across multiple lookback windows and combines them into a single bounded reading on a -1 to +1 scale, holding the same meaning on any symbol or timeframe so traders can separate a broadly aligned trend from directionless noise and read when a move has stretched to saturation.
🟢 How It Works
The foundation is Spearman rank correlation between price and time, computed over each active window. Closes inside the window are ranked against one another, time forms its own rising sequence of ranks, and the difference between the two collapses to a single coefficient (rho):
float price_rank = less + (eq + 1.0) / 2.0
float time_rank = float(len - i)
float rho = 1.0 - 6.0 * sumd2 / denom
The coefficient reads +1 when each bar closes above the last in unbroken order, 0 when there is no consistent order, and -1 when each bar steps lower. Because it scores ordering rather than smoothing price into a line, it reflects the current window directly rather than trailing behind it, though it still needs a full window of bars to form. Ranking also limits the pull of any single outlier bar, and the bounded output is what lets one threshold hold across markets without rescaling.
A single window describes direction; the tool runs several and averages them into a consensus spanning fast, medium, and slow horizons:
consensus := array.avg(rhos)
Agreement is then measured as the share of windows leaning the same way as the consensus, and this conviction figure must clear a floor before a direction prints, working alongside the strength threshold:
conviction := 100.0 * agree / active
raw_bull = consensus > threshold and conviction >= min_conviction
raw_bear = consensus < -threshold and conviction >= min_conviction
A reading registers only when both clear at once: consensus past the threshold and windows aligned enough to meet the conviction floor. Fail either and the line stays flat. With Show Neutral on, those flat stretches reset to neutral; with it off, the line holds its last direction until the next qualifying move.
🟢 Signal Interpretation
▶ Bullish Consensus (Green): Consensus sits above the upper threshold with enough windows aligned, meaning recent bars are ordered upward across horizons. Trend traders read the turn into green as a possible long or continuation as the score presses toward +1. Mean-reversion traders treat a reading pinned near +1 as a stretched, broadly-agreed advance rather than a buy, and look to fade only once the line rolls back off the extreme, since the score can hold high through a sustained trend.
▶ Bearish Consensus (Red): Consensus sits below the lower threshold with conviction met, with bars ordered downward across horizons. Trend traders read the turn into red as a possible short or continuation as the score presses toward -1. Mean-reversion traders treat a reading pinned near -1 as a saturated decline where a bounce becomes more plausible, and look to fade on the turn back up rather than at the low itself.
▶ Neutral (Gray): With Show Neutral on, the line goes gray whenever no direction qualifies, either because consensus sits inside the threshold or conviction falls short. The zero line acts as the balance point and behaves like support or resistance for the reading itself: a score rejected at zero from above points to bullish order reasserting, a score capped at zero from below points to bearish order holding, and a clean break through leans toward a regime change. Reading this midline behavior against price is where market structure tools pair well, separating a base building above a structural level from a coil forming under overhead supply. Trend traders stand aside until the line commits; mean-reversion traders find less to work with here than at the edges.
▶ Reading the Extremes: The axis caps at +1 and -1, marking maximum agreement across every active window. Trend traders take an extreme as a sign a move is still in force; mean-reversion traders take it as a stretched zone and watch for the score to turn back toward zero as agreement breaks. An extreme that aligns with a known structural level gives a fade a cleaner reference than one in open space, and neither read holds on the extreme alone, since a strong trend can stay saturated before it cools.
🟢 Features
▶ Preconfigured Presets: Three setups map to different holding styles. "Default" suits swing work on 4-hour and daily charts, pairing a mid-range window spread of 8, 13, 21, and 34 with a 0.35 threshold and a 60% conviction floor, so a direction needs both strength and agreement before it flags. "Fast Response" pulls the windows in to 5, 8, 13, and 21 and eases the threshold and conviction floor so the reading keeps pace with quicker intraday swings. "Smooth Trend" stretches the windows out to 21, 34, 55, and 89 and raises both gates for daily and weekly position trading, where a premature flip costs more than a late one. Choosing a preset takes over the manual window, threshold, and conviction fields.
▶ Built-in Alerts: Four conditions track every change in state. "Bullish Trend Signal" triggers when the consensus confirms to the upside. "Bearish Trend Signal" triggers when it confirms to the downside. "Trend Lost / Neutral" triggers when an active direction fades back to flat, which is also the event a mean-reversion trader watches for after an extreme. "Any Trend Change" rolls the two directional events into a single notification for anyone who wants one alert covering both ways.
▶ Visual Customization: Six color schemes (Classic, Aqua, Cosmic, Cyber, Neon, and Custom) carry a matched pair of bullish and bearish colors through the consensus line, its tiered gradient fill down to the zero baseline, and the optional bar and background tints. Marker lines sit at the positive and negative trigger levels to show the zone the consensus has to cross, and each window's own score can be switched on as a faint backing line so you can see which horizons are driving or dragging the combined figure. Bar coloring paints the price candles in the active trend color at an adjustable transparency, while background coloring spreads that tint across the pane.
