Bedaiwi's Smart PivotsBedaiwi's Smart Pivots is a three-level market-structure indicator that classifies price turning points as Minor, Intermediate, and Major highs and lows.
HOW IT WORKS
Minor Pivots
A Minor High is confirmed when the middle bar of a three-bar formation has a high that is strictly higher than the highs immediately before and after it.
A Minor Low is confirmed when the middle bar has a low that is strictly lower than the lows immediately before and after it.
Equal highs and equal lows are not treated as Minor pivots.
Intermediate Pivots
Intermediate pivots are derived from confirmed sequences of Minor pivots.
An Intermediate High is identified when a higher Minor High is followed by a lower Minor High.
An Intermediate Low is identified when a lower Minor Low is followed by a higher Minor Low.
Major Pivots
Major pivots apply the same hierarchical logic to confirmed Intermediate pivots.
A Major High is identified when a higher Intermediate High is followed by a lower Intermediate High.
A Major Low is identified when a lower Intermediate Low is followed by a higher Intermediate Low.
SYMBOLS AND COLORS
- Red diamond: Intermediate High
- Green diamond: Intermediate Low
- Red exclamation mark: Major High
- Green exclamation mark: Major Low
Optional Minor pivots use the same High and Low color settings.
When the replacement option is enabled, an Intermediate symbol is removed and replaced with an exclamation mark if the same point is later promoted to Major status.
HISTORICAL PLOTTING AND CONFIRMATION DELAY
Pivot identification requires subsequent price information.
A Minor pivot is confirmed only after the following bar closes. Intermediate and Major pivots require additional confirmed pivot sequences, so their confirmation occurs later.
After confirmation, the indicator places the symbol on the historical bar where the relevant high or low occurred. Therefore, a symbol displayed on an earlier bar was not necessarily available in real time on that bar.
Historical placement is used only to show the actual location of the confirmed turning point. It should not be interpreted as a signal that was known on the historical pivot bar.
SETTINGS
Users can:
- Show or hide Minor pivots
- Show or hide Intermediate pivots
- Show or hide Major pivots
- Replace an Intermediate symbol when it becomes a Major pivot
- Customize High and Low pivot colors
PRACTICAL USE
Smart Pivots can help users:
- Study market structure
- Identify significant historical swing highs and lows
- Separate short-term fluctuations from higher-level price structure
- Review possible support and resistance areas
- Add context to discretionary price-action analysis
LIMITATIONS
Smart Pivots is an analytical indicator. It does not place trading orders and does not define entries, exits, stop-loss levels, profit targets, position sizing, or expected returns.
Pivot confirmation is delayed by design because later price action is required. Results may vary between symbols, timeframes, sessions, and data feeds.
The indicator does not identify final market tops or bottoms with certainty. Historical observations do not guarantee future market behavior.

Adaptive S/R Box Zones with Dynamic Stop Loss & EMA FilterTitle: Adaptive S/R Box Zones with Dynamic Stop Loss & EMA Filter
Description:
This indicator is an advanced tool designed to automatically identify key Support and Resistance (S/R) levels by blending momentum, volatility, and structural pivot points. The core objective of the script is to visualize asymmetric risk zones (Stop Loss zones) and filter out false breakouts using an integrated EMA momentum filter.
How it works:
S/R Detection Logic: Levels are not derived from simple highs and lows. The script utilizes a sophisticated algorithm that dynamically combines the RSI (Relative Strength Index) to spot extreme overbought/oversold conditions, a HMA-based CMO (Chande Momentum Oscillator) for momentum confirmation, and historical Close Pivots.
Asymmetric SL Zones (Boxes): Instead of standard symmetric lines that often distort spatial risk, the indicator renders dynamic box shapes. The height of these zones automatically adapts to the market's current volatility using the ATR (Average True Range).
The Resistance Zone expands asymmetrically upward from the level, offering a clear visual map for placing Stop Losses on Short setups.
The Support Zone expands asymmetrically downward from the level, defining the logical Stop Loss area for Long setups.
EMA Momentum Filter & Trigger: The script features an optional EMA crossover filter. When enabled, the detection of a new S/R zone acts as a dynamic "setup alert", while the actual BUY or SELL signal triggers only when the price breaks through the EMA line, confirming directional momentum.
Key Features & Inputs:
Zone Height (ATR Multiplier): Controls the thickness of the risk zones based on market volatility.
S/R Timeframe: Multi-timeframe (MTF) functionality to plot higher time frame levels onto your current chart.
Signal Trigger Mode: Toggle between On Candle Close and After Candle Close (waits for the candle to seal to prevent repainting).
EMA Filter Toggle: Can be fully deactivated if you prefer to receive raw signals immediately upon the formation of S/R levels. Indicator
NSE/BSE Key Support & Resistance | MTF Pro-3.1Advanced pivot-based Support & Resistance with multi-timeframe confluence, strength scoring, volume-confirmed breaks, and adaptive zone visuals — built specifically for Indian stock market (NSE/BSE).
Overview
Most S&R indicators draw every pivot as an equal horizontal line and extend it infinitely to the right — creating cluttered, unreadable charts. This indicator solves that by scoring every level based on how strongly price rejected it , merging overlapping levels from different timeframes into a single confluence zone, and only showing the levels that actually matter.
Built and tuned specifically for NSE and BSE stocks, indices (Nifty 50, Bank Nifty, Sensex), and F&O instruments.
Key Features
🔷 Multi-Timeframe Support (4 TFs)
Enable up to 4 independent timeframes simultaneously. Each timeframe's pivots are detected separately and tagged in the label — , , , . You choose which timeframes to activate.
🔷 Cross-TF Confluence Merge
When two different timeframes produce a pivot at nearly the same price (within ATR proximity), they automatically merge into a single stronger zone instead of drawing two overlapping boxes. The label shows both sources — — and the level receives a confluence strength bonus. These merged zones are your highest-priority trade levels.
🔷 Advanced Strength Scoring
Every level carries a live strength score (★) that accumulates over time. Each touch is scored individually based on:
Wick size relative to candle range (how strongly price rejected)
Distance of close from the level (how convincingly price pulled back)
Whether volume was above average on that candle
Whether a strong body / engulfing candle formed
A barely touching wick scores ~0.5. A high-volume hammer rejection scores ~5–6. The score drives both zone opacity and zone width — strong levels appear bold and wide, weak levels fade visually.
🔷 Volume-Based Break Filter
A level is only invalidated when price closes beyond it and volume meets a configurable threshold (default: 1× average volume). Low-volume spikes through a level are ignored as false breakouts — the zone remains valid. Break alerts include the volume ratio so you know the conviction behind the move.
🔷 Adaptive Zone Visuals
No right extension — zones terminate at the current bar (valid) or the break bar (broken). No infinite lines cluttering the right side of your chart.
Opacity scales with strength — strongest levels are most visible, weakest levels are nearly transparent.
Zone width scales with strength — high-confidence zones are wider, giving a visual sense of the price area's importance.
🔷 Clean Labels

How to Use
Bounce trades — price enters a green (support) zone → wait for a rejection candle with volume → enter above the rejection candle high, SL below zone bottom.
Rejection trades — price enters a red (resistance) zone → wait for a bearish candle with volume → enter below candle low, SL above zone top.
Breakout trades — price closes beyond a zone with high volume (break alert fires) → wait for pullback to the broken level → trade in the direction of the break.
Highest priority setups — zones tagged or with ★ score above 5 and multiple touches. These are the levels institutional money respects.
Alerts
The indicator fires alert() calls for:
Break confirmed — includes ticker, price, and volume ratio
Retest — includes ticker, price, and touch quality score
Set alert condition to "Any alert() function call" in PulseWire's alert dialog.

S/R Zone Flip Tracker v9.5 - SAMMYS/R Zone Flip Tracker
WHAT IT DOES
This indicator detects support and resistance zones from confirmed price pivots, then tracks when price breaks through a zone and "flips" its role - broken resistance becomes support, broken support becomes resistance. Flipped zones are recolored and highlighted for a configurable number of bars, and flip events fire markers and alerts. A ladder table lists the nearest zones above and below current price, sorted by distance, so you can read the immediate S/R structure at a glance without scanning the chart.
HOW IT WORKS
1. Zone creation: Swing highs and lows are detected with ta.pivothigh / ta.pivotlow. Each confirmed pivot creates a zone centered on the pivot price. Zone half-width is either a multiple of ATR (adaptive to volatility) or a fixed dollar amount, selectable in settings.
2. Zone maintenance: Nearby zones are merged when their midpoints fall within an ATR-based merge threshold. New pivots that land inside an existing zone's dedup radius are discarded instead of stacking duplicates. Zones farther from price than a distance cap (the larger of an ATR window and a percent-of-price window) are pruned, and if more zones remain than the per-mode maximum, the farthest ones are evicted. This keeps only the structurally relevant levels on the chart.
3. Flip detection: On each confirmed bar close, every zone is tested against the break method you select. "Close" requires the candle to close beyond the zone edge plus an ATR-based confirmation buffer. "Wick" allows the high/low to trigger the break. When a zone is broken upward it is reclassified as support; broken downward it becomes resistance. The flip bar is recorded so recently flipped zones render in a stronger highlight color and are tagged "S Flipped" / "R Flipped" until the highlight age expires.
4. Flip throttling: A minimum-bars-between-flips setting suppresses repeated flip signals on the same side within a short window, reducing noise in choppy conditions.
5. Trading modes: Scalping, Intraday, Swing, and Position modes each carry their own independent parameter set (pivot length, zone width, confirmation buffer, flip throttle, zone count, distance caps). "Auto" selects the mode from the chart timeframe. "Manual" exposes a fully custom set. This lets one script behave sensibly from 1-minute charts to weekly charts without retuning on every timeframe change.
6. EMA cloud: An optional 9/21 EMA cloud (lengths configurable) provides directional context behind the zones. Green fill when fast is above slow, red when below.
NON-REPAINTING DESIGN
All flip state changes are gated on barstate.isconfirmed, so flips, markers, and alerts only occur on closed bars and do not change after the fact. The optional higher-timeframe confirmation uses request.security with a confirmed-bar offset so the higher-timeframe value never previews an unclosed HTF bar: on closed chart bars it reads the current HTF value, and on the developing bar it reads the last closed HTF value. Pivots by nature confirm only after the right-side lookback completes, so zones appear a fixed number of bars after the actual swing point - this is inherent to pivot detection, not repainting.
HOW TO USE IT
- Leave Trading Mode on Auto to let the script pick parameters from your chart timeframe, or select a mode explicitly to tune it.
- Watch the ladder table for the three nearest resistance zones above price and three nearest support zones below, with price and percent distance for each. An asterisk marks recently flipped zones.
- "Flip Up" markers print when resistance is confirmed broken and reclassified as support; "Flip Dn" marks the opposite. These are commonly read as breakout-and-retest context: a fresh flip zone is a candidate area for price to retest from the other side.
- Enable MTF Close Confirmation to require the break to hold on a higher timeframe before a flip registers, which filters out breaks that only exist on the chart timeframe.
- Three alerts are available: flip to support, flip to resistance, and any flip.
SETTINGS SUMMARY
- Per-mode: pivot left/right length, zone width ATR multiple, confirmation buffer, minimum bars between flips, max zones shown, distance caps (ATR multiple and percent).
- General: ATR length, break method (Close or Wick), dedup and merge thresholds, zone width mode (ATR or Fixed $), flip highlight age.
- Visual: zone colors for support, resistance, and recently flipped states; EMA cloud toggle and lengths; ladder table position and font size.
LIMITATIONS
- Zones confirm pivot-right bars after the swing point (inherent lag of pivot detection).
- Flip markers older than the Flip Label Lookback are not redrawn on chart reload; live alerts are unaffected.
- Requires roughly pivot length plus ATR length bars of history before the first zones appear.
- This is an analysis tool, not a trading system. It does not predict price and generates no buy/sell recommendations. Indicator
Adaptive Consensus Trail Structure, Regime & SelfAdaptive Consensus Trail — Structure, Regime & Self-Test
A trailing stop that sits on the agreement of several structural references, adapts to the market regime, and forward-tests its own signals so the numbers it shows are measured, not asserted.
What it is
Most trailing stops follow one idea — an ATR band, a SuperTrend, a moving average. This one places the stop where a small committee of independent structural references agree, reads how confident that agreement is, widens or tightens itself according to the market regime, and then continuously audits its own flips and reports the edge it actually produced on your data.
The committee has five members, each locating support/resistance from a different lens:
Anchored VWAP band — fair value for the session/week/month
Session / naked volume Point-of-Control — the price the most volume traded at, carried forward until revisited
Fair-Value-Gap midpoint — unfilled imbalance
Swing pivot — structural memory
Order-flow absorption — where aggressive buying/selling was absorbed (via Bulk Volume Classification)
Why these parts belong in one script (mashup justification)
Each reference alone whipsaws on an index, and each is right in different conditions. They are combined because they correct one another, and the entire value of the script is in that interaction — not in any single line:
A reliability layer scores every reference's historical respect rate with a Wilson lower bound, so a reference that keeps getting ignored loses its vote instead of dragging the stop around.
A consensus layer keeps only the densest agreeing cluster of references, so the stop sits on genuine agreement rather than on an average nobody respects, and far-apart references never force a permanent "no signal."
A regime layer (efficiency ratio + ADX + band-width + a volatility-cluster read + a Hurst persistence estimate) widens the band and tightens the flip confirmation in chop — this is what removes the whipsaw.
A self-test layer forward-scores every flip and recalibrates the confidence number so it means what it says.
Split apart, these are five overlays that each mislead in a range. Wired together, they are one self-correcting, self-auditing trail. That is the reason for combining them.
How it works (six layers)
References are computed on the bar close.
Reliability — rolling-capped respect counts per reference give a Wilson lower-bound "trust." POC is a magnet, so it is judged by forward reaction (did price reject away before breaking through?), not a same-bar close, which keeps its trust honest.
Consensus — the densest agreeing cluster within an ATR band becomes the trail's target; the envelope and confidence are measured on that cluster only.
Adaptive backbone — an efficiency-ratio / regime-adaptive band (Adaptive, Chandelier, or Blend) that widens in chop.
The trail — high confidence pulls the stop toward structure (floored a minimum ATR off price); low confidence rides the wide band, so it flips less in noise.
Self-test — every flip is forward-resolved by triple-barrier first-touch against an unconditional base rate, split by strength tier and by regime, with a walk-forward in-sample→out-of-sample check, a runs test of independence, a Brier score, and a confidence recalibration.
How to use it
Read the top banner for the one-line bias — BULLISH / BEARISH / WAIT — and the READ legend for what to do. The coloured line is your stop: support in an uptrend, resistance in a downtrend. BUY / SELL labels print only on confirmed, sufficiently-confident, higher-timeframe-aligned flips.
The dashboard gives detail top-down: each reference's level and trust, the consensus, raw → calibrated confidence, regime (with Hurst and ADX), the higher-timeframe invalidation stop, and a FULL / HALF / STAND-ASIDE suggestion.
Before sizing, open the Self-Test panel and read the Edge column (hit% − base%), not the raw hit-rate. A ★ means the edge's confidence interval clears the base rate. Prefer signals where the walk-forward change isn't badly negative and the runs test isn't "streaky." Being honest about it: on many indices this tool shows real edge in range and volatile regimes on higher timeframes and little-to-none on very low timeframes or once a trend is already confirmed — the panel makes that transparent so you can pick your spots.
Works on any market
Set the Price source, and for symbols with no native volume set a Borrow-volume proxy (e.g. a futures contract). The panel theme adapts to your chart background automatically. Backbone: Adaptive / Chandelier / Blend. Absorption: order-flow (BVC) or simple. An optional intrabar resolution builds a finer volume profile where available.
Originality
The committee-of-references design, the cluster-not-average consensus, the reliability weighting that lets references lose their vote, the forward-reaction POC respect test, and the confidence self-calibration are the author's own work. The underlying techniques are standard and fully credited below.
Non-repaint
References, regime, consensus and the trail all evaluate on the close of the bar; the live bar is provisional and settles on close. Self-test events are logged and resolved only on confirmed bars and resolve on bars after their trigger at fixed barriers, so hit / base / edge use no look-ahead. The higher-timeframe stop uses a lookahead-off request.

Limitations & disclaimer
"Absorption" is a volume proxy — base data has no true tick order flow, so the buy/sell split is estimated from bar moves, not measured. Confidence is context, not a promise of profit. The self-test is descriptive of past behaviour on the loaded symbol (fixed barriers, no costs or slippage) — a study aid, not a backtest and not a guarantee. A measured edge is what flips did historically here, not a forecast.

High Volume Absorption Pivot Levels (Zeiierman)█ Overview
High Volume Absorption Pivot Levels (Zeiierman) is a volume-based market structure indicator designed to identify significant pivot highs and lows where price shows signs of absorption during their formation.
Rather than plotting every swing point, the indicator filters pivots using two important characteristics:
• Elevated trading volume.
• Absorption candles that indicate a temporary balance between buyers and sellers.
Only pivots that satisfy these conditions become active support or resistance levels, allowing traders to focus on price levels that formed during periods of increased market participation.
⚪ Absorption and High Participation
The indicator combines traditional pivot detection with volume analysis.
A valid pivot requires:
• A confirmed swing high or swing low.
• Above-average volume on the pivot.
• An absorption candle occurring either around the pivot or directly on the pivot candle.
This helps remove many insignificant swing points while emphasizing areas where market participants were actively exchanging positions.
Once confirmed, these levels often serve as important reference points for future reactions, mitigation events, and retests.
█ How It Works
⚪ Pivot Structure Detection
The script continuously detects confirmed swing highs and swing lows using user-defined pivot lengths. These pivots become candidates for future support and resistance levels.
⚪ High Volume Filter
Not every pivot is plotted.
The pivot candle must also trade with above-average volume.
volume > sma(volume) × multiplier
This helps prioritize pivots that formed during periods of significantly higher participation than normal.
⚪ Absorption Candle Detection
The indicator searches for absorption candles around each pivot.
An absorption candle is defined as:
• Small candle body relative to the total range.
• Above-average trading volume.
█ How to Use
⚪ Identify Institutional Pivot Levels
Instead of displaying every swing point, the indicator focuses on pivots that formed during elevated participation.
This often highlights areas where larger market participants were active.
⚪ Target These Levels for Liquidity Sweeps
High-volume absorption pivots often become attractive liquidity targets.
As the market trends, the price frequently returns to sweep these levels before continuing in the direction of the prevailing trend or, in some cases, initiating a reversal.
These sweeps can represent:
• Liquidity collection before trend continuation.
• Stop-loss hunts around previous pivots.
• Profit-taking before the next market expansion.
• Potential reversal points if the sweep fails and strong opposing participation emerges.
Rather than treating these levels as fixed support or resistance, they should be viewed as important liquidity zones where market participants may become active.
█ Settings
Pivot Left / Right Length: Controls how swing highs and lows are confirmed.
Maximum Active Levels: Sets the maximum number of pivot levels displayed simultaneously.
Absorption Search Range: Defines how many candles around each pivot are searched for absorption.
Absorption Body %: Controls how small the candle body must be relative to the full candle range.
Absorption Volume Multiplier: Defines the minimum volume required for an absorption candle.
Require Absorption On Pivot Candle: Restricts valid pivots to those where the absorption candle occurs exactly on the pivot.
Pivot Volume Multiplier: Sets the minimum volume required for the pivot itself.

- Built-in alerts — alert conditions on crosses of each major level, plus a golden-pocket entry alert, ready to wire up from the Create Alert dialog.
Notes: Levels are based on the chart's loaded history, so the all-time high/low depends on how far back your data goes and your timeframe. This is an analysis tool, not financial advice — use it alongside your own process and risk management. Indicator
Hidden Liquidity Profile [Alpha Extract]A sophisticated liquidity-mapping and support/resistance profiling framework that analyzes historical candle structure, volume, wick behaviour, and price distribution to identify hidden supply and demand zones across the chart. Hidden Liquidity Profile is designed to reveal where meaningful liquidity may be concentrated by separating sell-side and buy-side pressure into price bins, then projecting those zones forward as heat boxes, horizon lines, key price tags, and a real-time support/resistance dashboard.
Rather than relying on simple pivot highs and lows, the system evaluates how volume interacted with candle ranges, upper wicks, lower wicks, candle bodies, and recency weighting. This creates a dynamic liquidity profile that highlights where price may encounter resistance, support, absorption, or reaction zones.
🔶 Hidden Liquidity Profiling Engine
Builds separate supply and demand profiles across the selected lookback range. The system divides price into configurable bins, then distributes liquidity strength into those bins based on volume, candle range, wick size, body size, and age decay.
energy = vol * rng * decay
sellStrength = energy * (upWick * wickWeight + body * bodyWeight * sellBias)
buyStrength = energy * (dnWick * wickWeight + body * bodyWeight * buyBias)
This allows the indicator to estimate where sell liquidity and buy liquidity are most likely concentrated rather than only marking obvious visible highs and lows.
🔶 Supply & Demand Separation
The profile separates upper-wick and lower-wick pressure into two distinct liquidity maps.
Upper wick activity contributes to the supply profile, helping identify areas where sellers may have previously absorbed price movement. Lower wick activity contributes to the demand profile, helping identify zones where buyers may have previously defended price.
This separation gives traders a clearer view of whether nearby levels are more likely to behave as resistance, support, or balanced liquidity.
🔶 Age-Weighted Liquidity Decay
Applies a recency decay model so newer candles have stronger influence than older candles. This keeps the profile focused on liquidity that is more relevant to the current market environment while still preserving broader historical context.
The Age Decay Power setting controls how aggressively older liquidity fades. Higher values emphasize recent price action more strongly, while lower values retain more historical structure.
🔶 Price Bin Distribution System
Divides the analyzed price range into configurable price bins and assigns liquidity strength into each level. The Price Bins setting controls the resolution of the profile.
More bins create a finer, more detailed liquidity map. Fewer bins create a smoother, broader view of major supply and demand areas.
🔶 Distribution Radius Smoothing
Uses a configurable distribution radius to spread liquidity strength around nearby bins. This prevents the profile from becoming too fragmented and helps form smoother liquidity clusters.
This is especially useful on volatile assets where important liquidity zones often form across small ranges rather than at one exact tick.
🔶 Liquidity Heat Box Visualization
Displays supply and demand as horizontal heat boxes projected to the right side of the chart.
Supply liquidity is shown on the sell side using the selected sell color, while demand liquidity is shown on the buy side using the selected buy color. Wider and brighter boxes represent stronger normalized liquidity at that price level.
This creates a visual depth-style map that helps traders quickly identify where meaningful liquidity may be stacked above and below current price.
🔶 Forward Horizon Lines
Projects stronger liquidity levels forward using horizontal lines. These lines act as future reference zones where price may react, pause, reject, or accelerate through.
The Line Trigger setting controls how strong a liquidity level must be before it is projected. The Line Width Scale setting adjusts how visually dominant stronger levels appear.
🔶 Key Level Detection Framework
Identifies the strongest supply and demand levels from the profile and labels them directly on the chart.
The system can prioritize local peaks, helping avoid overcrowding and ensuring that selected levels represent distinct liquidity clusters rather than multiple nearby bins from the same zone.
This scoring model favors levels with strong dominant liquidity while still accounting for total combined activity.
🔶 Supply HVN & Demand HVN Labels
Marks high-volume liquidity nodes as Supply HVN or Demand HVN depending on which side of the profile dominates at that price.
Each label includes the level type, normalized strength percentage, and exact price. This allows traders to quickly identify the most important liquidity levels without manually reading the full heat map.
🔶 Nearest Support & Resistance Logic
Calculates the most relevant resistance above price and support below price using both liquidity strength and distance from current price.
Levels closer to current price receive more practical importance, while still needing enough liquidity strength to qualify. This helps the dashboard focus on actionable nearby zones instead of simply displaying the strongest level anywhere in the lookback range.
🔶 Aura Point Of Control
Identifies the strongest combined liquidity level across the profile. This Aura POC represents the price zone with the highest combined supply and demand activity.
The POC can act as a major reference point for balance, rotation, acceptance, rejection, or future retests.
🔶 Liquidity Pressure Balance
Compares total normalized demand against total normalized supply to estimate the broader pressure bias across the analyzed range.
When demand is meaningfully stronger, the dashboard shows a demand bias. When supply dominates, it shows a supply bias. When the two sides are close, the market is classified as balanced.
🔶 Real-Time S/R Dashboard
Includes a compact dashboard showing the most important liquidity information directly on the chart:
• Nearest resistance level
• Nearest support level
• Aura POC
• Supply, demand, or balanced pressure
• Active liquidity level count
• Current ticker reference
This gives traders a quick summary of where the strongest nearby reaction zones are and whether the broader liquidity profile is tilted toward supply or demand.
🔶 Customizable Visual Controls
Provides flexible display controls for heat boxes, horizon lines, key level tags, dotted key level lines, and the dashboard.
Traders can adjust the number of analyzed bars, price bin resolution, liquidity smoothing, projection distance, box width, line width, and trigger thresholds to match different assets and timeframes.
🔶 Clean Overlay Design
The full liquidity map is displayed directly on price without requiring a separate oscillator pane. Heat boxes appear to the right of the chart, while key levels and labels extend across the active lookback area.
This keeps the chart readable while still providing a detailed view of hidden supply and demand structure.
🔶 Why Choose Hidden Liquidity Profile ?
Hidden Liquidity Profile provides a more advanced way to identify potential support, resistance, and liquidity reaction zones by analyzing volume-weighted candle structure across the full price range. Instead of marking only visible swing highs and lows, it evaluates where supply and demand pressure may be concentrated based on wick behaviour, candle body participation, volume energy, and recency-weighted price distribution.
The heat boxes reveal liquidity density, the horizon lines project important levels forward, the HVN labels highlight the strongest zones, and the dashboard summarizes nearest support, resistance, POC, and pressure bias in real time.
Perfect for liquidity traders, support/resistance traders, intraday traders, swing traders, and market structure analysts who want a cleaner way to visualize hidden supply and demand zones directly on the chart. Indicator
Adaptive RSI Supertrend [MarkitTick]💡 A highly advanced, multi-dimensional momentum and volatility tracking ecosystem designed for professional market analysis. Rather than relying on traditional price-based trailing stops, this indicator projects a volatility-banded Supertrend directly onto an Adaptive Relative Strength Index (ARSI). This creates an incredibly responsive momentum oscillator that dynamically adjusts its own thresholds based on underlying market kinematics. By integrating high-order digital signal processing filters, higher timeframe confirmations, and volume-weighted validation, this tool provides a comprehensive, terminal-style perspective on market regime, momentum acceleration, and localized price extremes without succumbing to the noise typical of standard oscillators.
✨ Originality and Utility
The standard Relative Strength Index is frequently plagued by false signals, erratic whipsaws during consolidation, and a failure to contextualize momentum within broader structural trends. This script resolves these systemic inefficiencies through a deliberate and mathematically sound synthesis of disparate analytical domains. The combination of an ARSI with a localized Supertrend is not an arbitrary pairing; it solves the problem of static overbought/oversold boundaries. By mapping average true range (ATR) bands onto the RSI itself, the indicator creates dynamic, breathing support and resistance levels for momentum. Furthermore, the integration of advanced smoothing algorithms (Kalman and LLAMA) strips out high-frequency noise, ensuring that crossovers between the ARSI and the Supertrend-derived Merged Line represent statistically significant momentum shifts rather than fleeting market anomalies. This unified framework replaces the need for an overlapping array of disparate indicators, offering a singular, high-contrast dashboard for absolute market clarity.
🔬 Methodology and Concepts
The internal architecture of this tool is built upon several synchronized analytical layers, heavily optimized to protect the integrity of the underlying logic while delivering seamless visual output.
● Adaptive Momentum Core
At the heart of the script is the ARSI, which abandons traditional static lookbacks in favor of a responsive differential tracking model. It evaluates the absolute range of price action against directional movement, feeding these differences through a recursive smoothing engine. This results in an oscillator that remains highly sensitive to genuine trend initiation while heavily penalizing sideways chop.
● Digital Signal Processing (DSP) Filters
The raw momentum data is processed through user-selectable DSP algorithms to extract the true signal from market noise. The Kalman Filter dynamically estimates the true state of momentum by balancing process noise against measurement noise, adapting instantly to volatility spikes. Alternatively, the LLAMA filter applies an efficiency-ratio-driven alpha scaling model, tightening its smoothing factor during periods of low efficiency and relaxing it during strong directional bursts.
● Oscillator-Bound Supertrend
Instead of applying a Supertrend to price, the script calculates a specialized ATR based on the frame-to-frame variance of the ARSI. It then projects upper and lower deviation bands around the ARSI, maintaining a directional bias based on trailing breakouts. The resulting baseline is then averaged with the DSP-filtered signal to create the "Merged Line," serving as the ultimate zero-lag trailing threshold for momentum.
● Multi-Factor Regime Scoring
The script continuously evaluates the broader market context by scoring four distinct components: the absolute level of the ARSI, the trigonometric angle of the ARSI trajectory, the state of the oscillator Supertrend, and the relationship of price to a macroeconomic baseline moving average. These factors are normalized and aggregated into a 0-100 Regime Score, offering a unified metric of trend health.
🎨 Visual Guide
The visual presentation is engineered for high-contrast, dark-mode optimized aesthetics, providing immediate, terminal-style data processing without chart clutter.
● Chart Elements
Color-Matched Candles: Price candles are painted based on the kinetic relationship between the ARSI and its signal line. Neon Cyan indicates strong bullish momentum, Dark Teal indicates weak bullish momentum, Deep Crimson indicates strong bearish momentum, and Maroon denotes weak bearish pressure. Slate Gray represents a neutral momentum state.
Dynamic Support/Resistance Boxes: Translucent, neon-bordered zones (Cyan for Support, Crimson for Resistance) highlight localized structural extremes, providing immediate context for price breakouts.
Trade Projection Labels: When crossover signals fire, dashed projection lines emerge, extending forward to display precisely calculated Entry (Slate), Stop Loss (Crimson), and multi-tiered Take Profit (Neon Green) levels based on dynamic risk-to-reward parameters.
Chart Angle Label: A floating text label displays the exact trigonometric angle and classification of the current trend (e.g., "Strong Uptrend / 45.2°").
● Oscillator Pane Elements
Adaptive RSI Line: Plotted with a dynamic gradient that transitions from Deep Crimson (extreme weakness) to Neon Cyan (extreme strength), instantly conveying momentum depth.
Merged Signal Line: A distinct Neon Purple to Deep Pink gradient line acting as the trailing support/resistance for the ARSI.
Divergence Histogram: Translucent Cyan and Red histogram bars plot the delta between the ARSI and the Merged Line, visualizing the acceleration or deceleration of momentum crosses.
Background Shading: The oscillator pane background shifts to a deep blue/purple tone during overbought (above 80) and oversold (below 20) extremes. A striking Electric Gold background illuminates periods where momentum enters a highly compressed "Squeeze" state.
Signal Markers: Crisp "BULL" (Cyan) and "BEAR" (Red) text labels appear on the oscillator when fully validated crossovers occur.
● The Analytics Dashboard
A fixed, dark-background HUD presents granular telemetry using segmented block bars and color-coded text for rapid scannability:
ARSI Level: Percentage reading of the current momentum state.
Signal Strength: Block visualization of the DSP-filtered baseline.
Angle Momentum & Acceleration: Metrics tracking the velocity and delta-velocity of the trend trajectory.
Supertrend & Market Bias: Text readouts indicating the dominant structural direction.
HTF Trend & Volume: Validation checks displaying the alignment of higher timeframes and localized volume surges.
Volatility ATR & Last Cross: Precise numerical readouts of market expansion and the duration since the last major signal.
Regime Score: The composite 0-100 metric, color-coded from Crimson (Bear) to Neon Magenta (Transition) to Cyan (Bull).
📖 How to Use
Identify Momentum Regime: Monitor the Dashboard's Regime Score. A score above 70 combined with a Neon Cyan ARSI line indicates an environment where long positions are statistically favored.
Trade the Crossover: Wait for the ARSI to cross the Merged Line. Validated crosses will generate a distinct "BULL" or "BEAR" label. Check the Dashboard to ensure the Volume Filter and HTF Trend are aligned (marked with a green checkmark).
Navigate Squeezes: When the oscillator background turns Electric Gold, the market is experiencing a severe volatility contraction. Avoid initiating new positions during the squeeze. Wait for the background color to clear, accompanied by an Alert indicating a Squeeze Breakout, before trading the subsequent expansion.
Manage Risk via Trade Labels: Upon a valid signal, utilize the automatically projected Entry, SL, and TP lines on the main chart to structure your position sizing according to the script's ATR-derived risk mechanics.
⚙️ Inputs and Settings
ARSI & Signal Lengths: Controls the primary lookback periods for the oscillator and its baseline.
Signal Filter Type: Select between RMA, Kalman Filter, or LLAMA to dictate the specific mathematical model used for noise reduction.
Supertrend ATR Length & Factor: Adjusts the sensitivity and width of the volatility bands applied to the oscillator.
Volume Filter Multiplier: Determines the threshold required for volume validation (e.g., 1.5 requires volume to be 50% above its moving average).
HTF Timeframe: Defines the higher timeframe used for macro-trend alignment (defaults to Daily).
Squeeze Angle Threshold: The maximum absolute angle permitted to trigger a volatility contraction state.
Trade Labels (Risk:Reward): Allows fine-tuning of the Stop Loss padding and the precise ratios for TP1, TP2, and TP3 targets.
🔍 Deconstruction of the Underlying Scientific and Academic Framework
This indicator relies on a robust foundation of applied mathematics and digital signal processing. The core methodology employs non-linear dynamic state estimation. Unlike standard moving averages that suffer from inherent group delay, the integration of algorithms akin to the Kalman filter allows the script to recursively project the next state of momentum and update that projection based on incoming price data. This minimizes lag while aggressively smoothing standard deviation anomalies.
Furthermore, the application of volatility banding (ATR) directly to an bounded oscillator (RSI) represents a shift from price-domain analysis to momentum-domain analysis. By calculating the variance of the momentum itself, the script acknowledges that momentum has its own distinct volatility profile, independent of price action. The kinematics of the trend are evaluated using trigonometric functions to derive the slope (velocity) and the rate of change of the slope (acceleration). This multidimensional approach ensures that signals are not generated merely by price crossing a threshold, but by a mathematically validated shift in the kinetic energy of the market.

High Volume Pivot Support & Resistance Zones [BigBeluga]High Volume Pivot Support & Resistance Zones is a market-structure indicator built for PulseWire. It helps traders find key support and resistance levels by looking for major pivot points backed by institutional volume.
Instead of drawing simple unweighted lines, this tool tracks the volume of swing highs and lows. When a high-volume pivot is found, the script creates a dynamic zone box on your chart and fits a live Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) trendline inside it. This lets you monitor real-time buying and selling pressure exactly where the market is most likely to reverse.
🔵 MAIN ENGINE & VOLUME ZONE LOGIC
1. Volume-Validated Pivots
Swing Isolation Fields: The tool uses customizable lookback settings ( Resistance/Support Pivot Length ) to find prominent structural swing highs and lows.
Institutional Volume Filters: Every new swing point is checked against a volume baseline ( Volume MA Length ). A zone is only plotted if the pivot bar's volume beats the baseline multiplier ( Volume Threshold Multiplier ), filtering out weak retail moves.
2. Embedded Zone CVD Lines
Intra-Box Order Flow Tracking: The script counts the volume delta (buying volume minus selling volume based on candle closes) from the exact bar the pivot formed.
Normalized Inside the Box: Using custom polylines, the script scales and plots the rolling CVD trend directly inside the height of the zone box. This lets you see order-flow accumulation without cluttering your screen with bottom dashboard panels.
Live Labels: A small text readout updates on the leading edge of the box, showing the current net CVD volume.
// Normalize and scale running CVD values perfectly inside the zone box coordinates
normalizeDeltaToBox(float currentDelta, float minDelta, float maxDelta, float boxBottom, float boxTop) =>
float rangeDelta = maxDelta - minDelta
float rangeBox = boxTop - boxBottom
rangeDelta == 0 ? boxBottom + rangeBox / 2 : boxBottom + (currentDelta - minDelta) / rangeDelta * rangeBox
🔵 DYNAMIC ZONE FLIPS & SIGNALS
1. Support and Resistance Flips
Automatic Re-Coloring: When a strong candle close breaks entirely through a zone, the script changes its role. Broken resistance boxes switch to your Support Zone Color (yellow), and broken support boxes turn into your Resistance Zone Color (blue).
Border Style Changes: The box outline instantly switches from a solid line to a dashed line the moment a zone is breached, flagging a clear shift in institutional liquidity.
2. Retest and Breakout Plots
Breakout Arrows: The system prints clean triangle up or down arrows ( ▲ or ▼ ) on your chart labeled "Res Breakout" or "Sup Breakdown" the exact bar a zone boundary fails.
Proximity Retest Shapes: It plots tiny circle markers when price pulls back to successfully test a normal support/resistance hold. If price tests a broken zone that has reversed roles, it prints a diamond marker to flag an advanced flipped S/R retest.
// Zone Breakout and Role Inversion Logic snippet
if close > rTop
box.set_bgcolor(lastResBox, color.new(supColor, 90))
box.set_border_color(lastResBox, supLine)
box.set_text_color(lastResBox, supLine)
box.set_border_style(lastResBox, line.style_dotted)
if not resBroken
triggerResBreak := true
resBroken := true
🔵 TRADING STRATEGIES & RISK
CVD Absorption Entries: When price rallies up into a blue resistance box, check the internal dotted CVD line.
If price pushes high into the box but the internal CVD trend slopes down, sellers are absorbing the buy orders. This sets up a high-probability short entry.
Flipped Support Re-Entries: When a bullish breakout triggers a "Res Breakout" arrow, wait for price to pull back to the top border of the broken box. A clean bounce marked by a diamond shape confirms the old resistance has flipped to support, offering a safe continuation trade.
Clear Risk Invalidation floors: You can use the exact borders of the generated boxes to place your stop loss. If you buy a support hold retest, your clear risk invalidation point sits right below the bottom line of that specific support box.
🔵 SETTINGS & CONFIGURATION
Pivot Geometry Controls: Easily fine-tune lookback lengths and volume multipliers to adapt the indicator for volatile crypto assets, indexes, or liquid forex pairs.
Visual Zone Overrides: Adjust background colors, transparency levels, and text label sizing to match your dark or light charting interface seamlessly.

Support & Resistances&r mtf is a support and resistance indicator designed to display clean zones directly on the chart.
the script automatically detects support zones from pivot lows and resistance zones from pivot highs. each zone is displayed with a rectangle, a dotted center line, and an optional label.
the goal is to help the trader identify important areas where price may react, reject, break, or come back for a retest.
the mtf version allows zones from a higher timeframe to be displayed on a lower timeframe. for example, daily zones can be displayed on an h1, 30 minute, or 15 minute chart.
this script is not an automatic buy or sell system. it is designed to read market structure, prepare decision zones, and avoid trading without context.

how the script works
the script creates a resistance zone when a pivot high is confirmed.
the script creates a support zone when a pivot low is confirmed.
a resistance is valid only when it is above the current price.
a support is valid only when it is below the current price.
if two support zones touch or are too close, they are merged and the lowest support is kept.
if two resistance zones touch or are too close, they are merged and the highest resistance is kept.
if price breaks a zone with the selected break conditions, the zone can be removed and an alert can be triggered.
chart mode
chart mode uses the current chart timeframe.
example:
if the chart is on 30 minutes, the zones are calculated from the 30 minute chart pivots.
this mode is useful for reading the exact timeframe you are trading.
mtf mode
mtf mode calculates zones from a higher timeframe and displays them on the current chart.
example:
you are on an h1 chart.
you enable mtf mode.
you choose the daily timeframe.
the script displays daily zones directly on the h1 chart.
this helps keep major market zones visible while trading intraday.
mtf use case example
if you trade on 30 minutes, you can display daily zones.
this helps avoid buying directly under a daily resistance or selling directly above a daily support.
mtf zones are often more important than small lower timeframe zones because they come from a wider market structure.
beginner tutorial
step 1: enable the module
enable the support and resistance module.
if the mode is set to chart, the script uses the current chart timeframe.
if the mode is set to mtf, the script uses the timeframe selected in the mtf settings.
step 2: choose the mode
use chart if you want zones from the current timeframe.
use mtf if you want to see zones from a higher timeframe.
simple example:
for scalping on 10 minutes, display h1 or daily zones.
for trading on h1, display daily zones.
for trading on h4, display daily or weekly zones.
step 3: watch support zones
support zones are located below price.
a support can be used as an area of interest to look for a bullish reaction.
a beginner can wait for a wick rejection, a bullish close, or a reclaim above the zone before looking for a possible long setup.
step 4: watch resistance zones
resistance zones are located above price.
a resistance can be used as an area of interest to look for a bearish reaction.
a beginner can wait for rejection, a bearish close, or a failed breakout before looking for a possible short setup.
step 5: do not trade a zone alone
a zone is not an automatic signal.
you should wait for confirmation.
possible confirmations:
price reaction
wick rejection
clean close
volume
trend alignment
confirmed breakout
zone retest
step 6: use the merge logic
if several zones touch or are too close, the script groups them together.
this helps avoid a chart filled with useless overlapping zones.
for supports, the lowest level is kept.
for resistances, the highest level is kept.
step 7: use the minimum distance setting
minimum distance helps prevent zones from being created too close to each other.
if you lower the distance, the script accepts more zones.
if you increase the distance, the chart becomes cleaner and more selective.
even if the minimum distance is low, two zones that really touch should remain merged.
input explanation

this projects the zones into the future.
confirm breaks only on candle close
when enabled, a break is confirmed only after the candle closes.
this reduces false breaks during a live candle.
break equals full body outside zone plus strong candle
when enabled, the script requires the full candle body to close outside the zone with enough strength.
this makes break detection stricter.
max doji body to range
defines when a candle is considered a doji.
a doji is a candle with a small body.
doji candles can be ignored to avoid weak break signals.
min strength body to range
defines the minimum body size compared to the full candle range.
a higher value requires a stronger candle.
min strength body greater or equal atr multiplier
defines the minimum body strength compared to atr.
the higher the value, the stronger the break candle must be.
show force percent
shows the zone penetration force inside the label.
cap force percent
limits the displayed force value to avoid very large numbers.
max cap percent
sets the maximum displayed value when the force cap is enabled.
alert break resistance

alert break support
enables the alert when a support zone is broken.
bullish use case example
price comes back to a support zone.
the support remains below price.
the market shows a bullish reaction.
a rejection candle appears.
the trader can then watch for a possible long setup, especially if the general trend is bullish.
bearish use case example
price comes back to a resistance zone.
the resistance remains above price.
the market shows rejection.
a bearish candle appears.
the trader can then watch for a possible short setup, especially if the general trend is bearish.
mtf example
you trade on h1.
you enable mtf mode.
you choose daily.
daily zones appear on the h1 chart.
if price reaches a daily resistance, the trader avoids buying too late.
if price returns to a daily support, the trader watches for a possible reaction.
beginner tips
do not trade every zone automatically.
always wait for price reaction.
avoid buying directly below resistance.
avoid selling directly above support.
use mtf zones as major decision areas.
always use a stop loss.
use proper position sizing.
combine the zones with trend, volume, candlesticks, and market structure.
important note
this script does not guarantee results.
supports can break.
resistances can break.
the best use of this tool is to treat it as a map of important market zones, combined with strict risk management and personal confirmation before each trade.
Indicator
Dynamic Gravity Attractor (DGA) [MarkitTick]💡 An advanced technical indicator designed to identify, weight, and visualize significant price zones using a physics-inspired gravitational model. By treating historical price pivots as physical masses that exert gravitational pull on the current price, this tool dynamically highlights levels of high structural importance. This offers traders a unique, quantitative perspective on support, resistance, and the overarching market equilibrium based on continuous volume and touch data.
✨ Originality and Utility
Unlike standard static support and resistance indicators that simply draw horizontal lines at arbitrary swing highs and lows, this system introduces a dynamic, weighted engine based on volume execution and touch frequency.
Traditional indicators often clutter the chart with dozens of obsolete lines. This tool resolves the issue by clustering proximate price levels using an Average True Range based spatial resolution. This synthesizes fragmented levels into cohesive, highly actionable Gravity Zones.
The core utility lies in its ability to quantify the relative strength of these zones using a gravitational constant. Instead of merely sorting by recency, it sorts by actual structural pull. This allows traders to cleanly distinguish between minor intraday speed bumps and major macroeconomic price attractors that have a high probability of influencing future price routing.
🔬 Methodology and Concepts
The script operates on a robust foundation of interconnected logical pillars, ensuring a precise reading of historical market structure:
• Pivot Detection and Clustering: The indicator identifies standard non-repainting pivot highs and lows using a defined lookback window. Instead of plotting each pivot individually and causing chart noise, it evaluates if a new pivot falls within an existing cluster radius. This radius is dynamically determined by a user-defined percentage of the 14-period Average True Range. If a match is found, the cluster aggregate price, volume, and touch count are updated using a volume-weighted average formula.
• Mass Calculation: Each clustered zone is assigned a quantitative mass. This mass is a blended metric derived from the total trading volume transacted at that specific level and the frequency of price touches it has endured. Users can dynamically adjust the weighting of these two components to favor volume-heavy execution levels or frequently tested psychological levels.
• Gravitational Pull: Applying a concept directly akin to classical physics, the indicator calculates the gravitational force of each active zone relative to the current closing price. The formula incorporates the zone calculated mass, a user-defined Gravitational Constant, and the inverse square of the absolute distance between the zone and the current price.
• Net Force and Equilibrium: By aggregating the gravitational pull of all active zones above the current price and subtracting the zones below, the script calculates a continuous Live Net Force. This net force dictates the overall directional bias of the underlying market structure.
🎨 Visual Guide
The tool provides a rich, multi-layered visual experience, utilizing dark-mode optimized palettes to allow traders to interpret complex market structures at a rapid glance:
• Gravity Zone Lines: Horizontal lines representing the clustered price levels. The strongest mathematical attractor is plotted with a solid line, while weaker zones use dashed line styles to indicate secondary importance. The thickness of the line directly correlates with its top-ranking status.
• Zone Colors: Levels situated above the current price are colored in a visual gradient from vibrant purple to deep violet, representing resistance or overhead gravity. Levels situated below are colored in a gradient from yellow to dark orange, representing support or underlying gravity. The color intensity and opacity scale dynamically with the calculated mass of each zone.
• Gravity Fields (Halos): Semi-transparent background boxes surrounding the strongest top-ranked gravity zones. The vertical height of the box represents the zone mathematical sphere of influence, calculated using the true range and the zone specific mass.
• Gravity Center: A distinct dotted cyan line plotting the weighted center-of-mass between the strongest overhead attractor and the strongest underlying attractor. This acts as the market current fulcrum.
• Dynamic Labels: Textual tags attached to the right of the gravity lines. These indicate the exact price level, an arrow denoting if the force is pushing up or down, and a percentage representing its gravitational strength relative to the maximum active zone.
• Heatmap Candles: The main chart candles are recolored based on the Live Net Force. A bullish bias paints the candles in a specific underlying color, while a bearish bias paints them in an overhead color. Border and wick colors adapt similarly to show micro-shifts in pressure.
• Gravity Dashboard: A comprehensive on-chart data table displaying the active number of tracked levels, the exact prices of the top upper and lower attractors, the Net Force bias, the current cluster size, and a visual block-bar representation of the highest active mass percentage.
📖 How to Use
• Trend Identification: Observe the Heatmap Candles and the Net Force metric on the Gravity Dashboard. A sustained bullish color bias suggests the price is being pulled upward by a stronger overhead attractor or violently pushed from a massive underlying support base. Traders should look to align their directional trades with this dominant net force.
• Targeting and Exits: Use the strongest Gravity Zone Lines as primary profit targets or areas to scale out of positions. Because these zones possess high mass, price tends to inevitably gravitate toward them over time.
• Entry Confirmation: Wait for the price to enter a Gravity Field. If price action demonstrates rejection patterns, long wicks, or volume anomalies within these specific halo zones, it provides a high-probability entry for mean-reversion trades.
• Equilibrium Trading: The Gravity Center line represents a literal point of balance between the primary opposing structural forces. Observing the price crossing, retesting, and holding this level can indicate a fundamental shift in structural control from sellers to buyers, or vice versa.
• Automated Alerts: The script includes built-in alert conditions for when the price comes within a tight proximity to the strongest above or below zones. It also fires alerts when the overall Net Force shifts direction. All alerts and webhooks are constructed as strictly formatted JSON strings designed for flawless third-party execution, dynamically calculating and including the Entry Price, the precise Take Profit target, and the exact Stop Loss invalidation price.
⚙️ Inputs and Settings
• History Depth (bars): Determines how far back in time the script looks to evaluate active pivots. A higher number tracks long-term macro zones, while a lower number focuses on immediate intraday structure.
• Number of Gravity Zones: Limits the maximum number of attractor lines drawn on the chart to prevent visual clutter.
• Level Cluster Resolution (ATR%): Controls how closely pivots must be to merge into a single, heavier zone. A higher value aggregates more historical levels together, creating fewer but stronger zones.
• Gravitational Constant G: A mathematical multiplier that scales the overall gravity calculations. Adjusting this tweaks the sensitivity of the Net Force output.
• Mass Components (Volume & Touch Weight): Fractional sliders allowing the user to adjust whether a zone mass is more heavily derived from transacted volume or the sheer number of times the price has historically tested the level.
• Minimum Touch Count: The baseline number of times a price level must be tested before it is officially registered as having enough mass to generate gravity.
• Visual Settings: Comprehensive toggles to independently turn lines, text labels, halo fields, the dashboard table, and center-of-gravity boxes on or off according to individual visual preference and chart cleanliness. All colors are fully user-configurable without hardcoding.
🔍 Deconstruction of the Underlying Scientific and Academic Framework
The tool borrows directly from classical mechanics, specifically the law of universal gravitation, to mathematically model financial market microstructure. In standard physics, the attractive force of gravity between two independent objects is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centers.
In the context of this script, the current market closing price acts as a dynamic point mass navigating a static field of larger, stationary masses, representing the historical support and resistance clusters. The script operationalizes this concept by calculating Mass as a composite statistical index of cumulative trading volume and historical test frequency. Volume acts as the density of the price level, representing committed capital and trapped liquidity, while touch frequency represents the psychological reinforcement and memory of the level among market participants.
By rigidly utilizing the inverse square law of distance, the indicator mathematically guarantees that nearby price levels exert exponentially more influence on current price action than distant levels. This accurately reflects the highly localized nature of market liquidity, order book depth, and slippage. Furthermore, the clustering algorithm employs a dynamic threshold based on Average True Range, introducing a volatility-normalized spatial resolution. This specific mechanism ensures that the radius of a mass point expands in highly volatile environments and contracts in tight consolidations, strictly adhering to established principles of adaptive signal processing, robust statistical smoothing, and dynamic time warping.

Adaptive Support & Resistance Pro with EMA Momentum Filter## Description
This indicator is an advanced tool designed to identify adaptive Support and Resistance (S/R) zones and combine them with an Exponential Moving Average (EMA) momentum filter. Unlike static S/R lines, this script uses a combination of momentum oscillators and dynamic pivot calculations to find high-probability reversal zones on higher or current timeframes.
The core philosophy of this indicator is to prevent "knife-catching." Instead of firing a signal immediately when a support or resistance level is formed, it waits for the price to confirm a change in momentum by crossing the EMA line in the direction of the trade.
---
## How It Works (Under the Hood)
### 1. Support & Resistance Detection
The script uses a multi-layered filter to detect true pivot points:
* **Legacy RSI & Modified RSI:** It evaluates overbought (>75) and oversold (<25) conditions using a 9-period Relative Strength Index.
* **Chande Momentum Oscillator (CMO) based on HMA:** It applies a 1-period CMO logic over Hull Moving Averages (HMA 5 and HMA 12) to detect immediate shifts in market velocity.
* **Close Pivots:** It uses deviation-free highest/lowest calculations (`ta.highest` and `ta.lowest`) combined with `ta.valuewhen` to fetch precise structural levels.
A **Support Zone** is formed only when the RSI is oversold, the CMO shows an upward momentum shift (>50), and a local low pivot is confirmed.
A **Resistance Zone** is formed when the RSI is overbought, the CMO shows a downward shift (<-50), and a local high pivot is confirmed.
### 2. S/R Timeframe Flexibility
Through the `request.security` function, users can plot these adaptive levels from higher timeframes (HTF) onto their current chart. To prevent **repainting** and back-shifting signals, the script strictly uses `barmerge.lookahead_off`.
### 3. EMA Momentum Trigger (The Confirmation Filter)
To filter out false breakouts and premature entries during heavy trend extensions, an EMA filter is introduced:
* **BUY Signal:** Triggered only when a new Support level has been established AND the price successfully closes above the EMA (`ta.crossover`).
* **SELL Signal:** Triggered only when a new Resistance level has been established AND the price successfully closes below the EMA (`ta.crossunder`).
**Strict Discipline:** The script uses an internal state machine (`waitForBuyBreak` / `waitForSellBreak`) ensuring that **only ONE signal** is fired per newly created S/R level. This completely eliminates the "whipsaw" effect (multiple false signals) when the price is consolidating or chopping around the moving average.
---
## Settings & Customization
* **Line Width / Colors:** Fully customize the visual thickness and color styling of your Support and Resistance zones.
* **S/R Timeframe:** Leave it blank for the current chart timeframe, or select higher timeframes (e.g., 4H or 1D) for macro level analysis.
* **Enable EMA Filter:** Toggle this option ON to use the momentum confirmation logic, or OFF to see signals immediately upon S/R level creation.
* **EMA Length:** Adjust the period of the confirmation line (Default is 50, but can be set to 20 for faster entries or 200 for macro trend-following).
---
## Alerts
The script includes three built-in alert conditions for automation:
1. `New S/R line` - Triggers whenever a new support or resistance level is plotted.
2. `BUY Signal` - Triggers when the EMA crossover confirms the support bounce.
3. `SELL Signal` - Triggers when the EMA crossunder confirms the resistance rejection.

All-Time High/Low Fibonacci Retracement (with Flip)Tired of manually dragging the Fibonacci tool across macro charts every time an asset makes a new high or low? This indicator automates the entire process. It scans the absolute historical data of any asset to identify its true All-Time High (ATH) and All-Time Low (ATL), then dynamically projects standard Fibonacci retracement levels between them.
Whether you are analyzing a stock's decades-long macro cycle or looking for major historical support and resistance levels, this script keeps your charts perfectly anchored without the manual clutter.
Key Features
100% Automated Tracking: Uses historical state variables (var) to lock onto the ultimate lowest and highest prices ever printed on your current chart.
Real-Time Dynamic Updates: If the asset breaks out into price discovery (new ATH) or capitulates to a new bottom (new ATL), the script recalculates and shifts all Fibonacci lines instantly.
One-Click Flip Toggle: Built-in calculation flip. Measure retracements from the top down (bearish retracement) or flip it from the bottom up (bullish expansion) right from the settings menu.
Clean Visuals: Hard-coded with classic Fibonacci ratios (23.6%, 38.2%, 50.0%, 61.8%, 78.6%) using a subtle, non-intrusive color gradient that won't crowd your daily price action.
How to Use the Settings
Flip Retracement (Checkbox): * Unchecked (Default): Places 0% at the All-Time High and 100% at the All-Time Low (Ideal for finding support levels during a pullback from macro highs).
Checked: Places 0% at the All-Time Low and 100% at the All-Time High (Ideal for tracking major resistance levels and targets on the way back up).
💡 Pro-Tip: Because PulseWire loads a limited number of historical bars on lower timeframes (like 5-minute or 15-minute charts), always load this indicator on a Daily (D), Weekly (W), or Monthly (M) chart first. This ensures the script catches the true historical inception highs and lows of the asset! Indicator
Order Blocks with Volume [Quantum Algo]Order Blocks with Volume
OVERVIEW
This indicator finds order blocks — the candles where a directional move originated before price broke market structure — and measures the buy and sell volume that traded inside each one. Every zone is drawn as a box that extends forward until price returns to it, and each active zone is labelled with its total volume and its buy/sell split, so you can tell at a glance which blocks were built on heavy participation and which were not.
It is built entirely from price and volume on the chart you apply it to. There is no repainting of confirmed zones: detection runs only on closed bars.
HOW DETECTION WORKS
1. Market structure. Confirmed swing highs and swing lows are located using a pivot of configurable length (Swing Length). A larger value isolates more significant structure and produces fewer, larger zones.
2. Break of structure. When a candle closes above the most recent confirmed swing high (bullish) or below the most recent confirmed swing low (bearish), the indicator treats it as a break of structure and looks for the order block that produced the move.
3. The order block candle. Starting from the breakout, the script steps back over the impulse candles and marks the last opposite-close candle before the move began — the last down-close candle for a bullish block, the last up-close candle for a bearish block. This is the origin of the displacement and the level price often revisits.
4. Zone range. The block is drawn from that candle using either its full high-to-low range (Wick) or its open-to-close body (Body).
VOLUME ENGINE
For each order block candle the indicator estimates how much of the traded volume was buying versus selling, using where the candle closed within its own range:
- Buy volume is weighted by how close the candle closed to its high.
- Sell volume is weighted by how close it closed to its low.
This split is shown two ways:
- Buy / Sell volume bars: two horizontal bars anchored at the left of the zone — buy on the top half, sell on the bottom half — with lengths proportional to each side. The Volume Bar Length setting controls how long they can extend (they are automatically kept inside the zone).
- Volume label: written inside the zone on the right edge, showing the total volume of the block and the buy% / sell% balance.
Volume strength is the block's volume divided by the average volume over a configurable baseline (Volume Baseline Length). It is used by the optional filter below to keep only the heaviest blocks.
ZONE LIFECYCLE
- Active. A live zone extends to the current bar and shows its volume bars and label.
- Mitigation. When price first trades back into a zone, the 50% line marks the equilibrium and an alert can fire.
- Invalidation. A zone is invalidated when price moves through its far edge. The source can be a wick touch or a candle close (Invalidation Source).
- Breaker. If "Flip Broken Zones to Breaker Blocks" is on, an invalidated zone is kept and re-coloured as a breaker, since broken support can act as resistance and vice versa.
- Historic. If "Keep Invalidated Zones (Historic)" is on, finished zones are frozen at the bar they died, re-coloured neutral, and their volume bars and text are removed to keep the chart clean.
- If neither option is on, invalidated zones are removed.
To avoid clutter the indicator will not stack a new zone on top of an existing active zone in the same area, limits the number of active zones per side, and automatically drops any zone older than the drawing range.
ON-CHART ELEMENTS
- Coloured boxes: bullish and bearish order blocks (and a neutral colour for breaker/historic).
- Two inner bars per active zone: buy (top) and sell (bottom) volume.
- A dotted line through the middle of active zones: the 50% mitigation / equilibrium level.
- Text inside active zones: total volume and buy% / sell%.
SETTINGS
Structure & Detection
- Swing Length — pivot length used to define structure. Higher = larger, more significant zones.
- Impulse Lookback (bars) — how far back to search for the origin candle after a break of structure.
- Zone Range — Wick (full range) or Body (open-to-close).
- Max Active Zones / Side — cap on simultaneously active zones per direction.
Invalidation
- Invalidation Source — Wick (a high/low piercing the zone) or Close (a candle closing beyond it).
- Flip Broken Zones to Breaker Blocks — keep and re-colour broken zones as breakers.
- Keep Invalidated Zones (Historic) — freeze finished zones instead of deleting them.
Volume Engine
- Show Volume Label — write volume and buy/sell% inside active zones.
- Show Buy / Sell Volume Bars — draw the proportional buy/sell bars.
- Volume Baseline Length — averaging length used to rate volume strength.
- Volume Bar Length (bars) — maximum length of the buy/sell bars.
Filters
- Only Show High-Volume Zones — hide blocks below the strength threshold.
- Min Volume Strength (x avg) — threshold as a multiple of average volume.
- Filter Oversized Zones — skip blocks taller than the ATR limit.
- Max Zone Height (ATR x) — the height limit, in multiples of ATR.
Style
- Bullish Zone, Bearish Zone, Buy Volume, Sell Volume, Breaker / Historic, Text — colours.
- Zone Extension (bars) — how far active zones project past the current bar.
- Show 50% Mitigation Line — toggle the equilibrium line.
ALERTS
Alerts are raised through the alert() function for two events: an order block being tapped (mitigation) and an order block being broken (breaker formed). To use them, create an alert on the indicator and choose the "Any alert() function call" condition.
HOW TO USE
Order blocks mark areas where significant orders were likely placed. Traders commonly watch for price to return to an un-mitigated block and react there, and use the buy/sell volume split and strength to judge how meaningful a block is — a block built on high, one-sided volume is generally treated as more significant than a thin one. Combine the zones with your own confirmation and risk management; this tool highlights levels, it does not generate buy or sell signals.
DISCLAIMER
Nothing here is financial advice or a guarantee of any outcome. Past behaviour of price around order blocks does not predict future results. Always do your own research and manage risk. Indicator
Adaptive Support & Resistance Pro + SignalsOverview
Adaptive Support & Resistance Pro is a dynamic technical analysis tool designed to automatically identify, calculate, and plot key Support and Resistance (S/R) levels on your chart. Unlike traditional pivot-based indicators, this script uses a hybrid approach combining Momentum, Relative Strength, and Volatility filters to pinpoint institutional supply and demand zones.
To ensure professional-grade execution, the script is fully optimized to prevent repainting. It operates strictly in real-time, aligning historical signals with the exact moments these key levels were formed.
How It Works (The Engine)
The indicator calculates its levels based on three core components:
Chande Momentum Oscillator (CMO) via HMA: It analyzes the rate of change between two Hull Moving Averages (HMA) of different periods to detect strong shifts in market momentum.
Relative Strength Index (RSI): A 9-period RSI filters out minor market noise, ensuring that support levels are only tracked in oversold conditions ( NYSE:RSI < 25$) and resistance levels in overbought conditions ( NYSE:RSI > 75$).
Legacy Close Pivots: The script analyzes extreme high/low deviations over a specific lookback period to establish the structural price floor or ceiling.
When all three conditions align, a new Support or Resistance price level is established.
Key Features & Settings
Multi-Timeframe (S/R Timeframe): You can plot S/R levels from higher timeframes (e.g., Daily or 4-Hour) directly onto your lower timeframe execution chart (e.g., 15-minute) for top-down analysis.
Signal Trigger Modes: Under the settings, you can choose how signals are displayed:
On Candle Close: Displays a BUY or SELL label immediately on the candle that confirmed the new level.
After Candle Close: Waits for the confirmation candle to close and prints the signal on the next candle, providing an extra layer of validation.
Strict One Signal Per Level Rule: The script features built-in logic that guarantees only one signal will ever be triggered per new structural level, completely eliminating label clutter and overlapping signals.
How to Use It (Trading Strategy)
Support & BUY Signals: Look for green BUY labels after the market prints a fresh support line. This indicates that momentum has shifted upwards from an oversold structural area.
Resistance & SELL Signals: Look for red SELL labels when price prints a fresh resistance line. This indicates institutional selling pressure in an overbought area.
Breakouts & Re-tests: The drawn lines stay on the chart, allowing you to monitor future re-tests of these adaptive zones.
Disclaimer
Past performance does not guarantee future results. This indicator is meant to be used as a supportive tool alongside your own risk management and trading plan. Indicator
Monthly Statistical LevelsMonthly Statistical Levels is an open-source indicator that plots monthly reference levels based on historical monthly price extensions from the monthly open.
The goal of the script is to provide a clean statistical map for the current and recent months. It is designed as a market structure and reference-level tool, not as a buy/sell signal system.
How it works
The script uses completed monthly candles from PulseWire data.
For each completed month, it calculates two historical extensions:
High extension:
Monthly High minus Monthly Open, divided by Monthly Open.
Low extension:
Monthly Open minus Monthly Low, divided by Monthly Open.
These historical extensions are stored separately for upside and downside movement.
At the start of each new month, the script uses the current monthly open and projects five reference levels:
Strong High
Avg High
Open
Avg Low
Strong Low
Avg High is based on the historical average upside extension from the monthly open.
Avg Low is based on the historical average downside extension from the monthly open.
Strong High uses the average upside extension plus a configurable standard deviation multiplier.
Strong Low uses the average downside extension plus a configurable standard deviation multiplier.
By default, the strong multiplier is set to 1.0, meaning strong levels use the historical average extension plus one standard deviation.
Lookback options
Users can choose the statistical lookback used for the calculations:
24 months
36 months
60 months
120 months
All available history
Using all available history can make the levels more stable, but it may also mix different market regimes. This is especially important for assets with structural changes, short trading histories, or very different behavior across cycles.
No lookahead logic
The indicator uses completed monthly candles to build the historical sample.
Each month keeps the levels calculated with the information available at the start of that month. The current month is used only for its monthly open, which is known once the month begins.
This means the levels are not recalculated using future monthly highs or lows.
How to use it
The levels can be used as a visual reference for monthly range structure.
Possible uses include:
Identifying where price is trading relative to its monthly statistical range.
Comparing the current month with recent monthly behavior.
Observing when price reaches average or stronger historical extension zones.
Keeping a cleaner chart with only the most recent visible months.
Main settings
Visible months:
Controls how many recent months are displayed. The default is 6 and the maximum is 12 to keep the chart readable.
Statistical lookback:
Controls the historical sample used to calculate average and strong levels.
Minimum closed months:
Defines the minimum number of completed monthly candles required before plotting levels.
Strong multiplier:
Controls how far strong levels are placed from average extension levels using standard deviation.
Labels:
Users can show labels only for the current month, for all visible months, or turn labels off.
Alerts
The script includes optional alert conditions for touches of:
Strong High
Avg High
Open
Avg Low
Strong Low
Limitations
This indicator does not predict future price movement.
It does not identify support or resistance with certainty.
It does not generate buy or sell signals.
It does not evaluate trend, fundamentals, macro conditions, liquidity, positioning, or news.
The levels depend on the PulseWire symbol selected, the available historical data, and the chosen lookback window.
Why it may be useful
Many traders look at monthly opens, monthly ranges, and volatility-based zones separately. This script combines those ideas into one clean open-source tool: monthly open-based statistical levels built from completed historical monthly extensions.
It helps traders visualize where price is trading relative to its own historical monthly behavior, while keeping the chart simple and readable. Indicator
Auction Regime Atlas v1.0 # 🧭 Auction Regime Atlas v1.0
Auction Regime Atlas is a Pine Script v6 overlay indicator designed to visualize market acceptance, value migration, rejected auction areas, and contextual auction regimes directly on the chart.
❌ It is not a buy/sell signal tool.
❌ It is not a strategy.
❌ It is not an orderflow or liquidation-data replacement.
🎯 The goal is to help traders understand where price has been accepted, where value is forming, where price has moved away from value, and whether the current market context is balanced, transitional, displaced, or low quality.
---
## 💡 Core Idea
Markets often rotate around accepted value before moving into new auction areas.
Auction Regime Atlas maps that process by combining:
* price acceptance over a lookback window
* volume participation
* candle efficiency
* wick/rejection behavior
* higher-timeframe context
* regime classification
* distance from current value
📊 The result is a compact visual framework for understanding auction context without flooding the chart with signals.
---
## 🚀 Main Features
### 1. 🎯 Core Value Band
The Core Value Band highlights the price area where recent market activity shows the strongest acceptance.
It is calculated from a price-bin acceptance model using:
* time spent near price
* volume concentration
* close location
* wick/rejection behavior
⚠️ This band is meant as auction context, not as a mechanical support or resistance level.
---
### 2. 📏 Acceptance Edges
Upper and lower acceptance edges define the boundaries of the current accepted value area.
These edges help identify whether price is:
* inside accepted value
* above value
* below value
* far away from value
---
### 3. 🔄 Auction Regime
The dashboard shows a simplified auction regime state.
Current v1.0 regime states include:
* Neutral
* Balance
* Migration Up
* Migration Down
* Failed Auction
🛡️ The regime engine uses confirmed-bar logic and cooldown handling to avoid excessive state flipping.
---
### 4. 🌍 HTF Context
The indicator includes a higher-timeframe context layer based on confirmed higher-timeframe data.
ℹ️ This is used only as context and does not create entry or exit signals.
---
### 5. 📍 Location Awareness
The Location field shows where current price is relative to the accepted value area:
* Inside Value
* Above Value
* Below Value
* Away From Value
* No Value
When price is far away from the value zone, the visual relevance of the Core Band is reduced so the zone does not appear like an active trade signal.
---
### 6. 🎨 Visual Modes
Auction Regime Atlas includes three modes:
#### 🎯 Focus Mode
A clean minimal view for live chart reading.
Shows:
* Core Value Band
* Acceptance Edges
* compact dashboard
* no debug rows
#### ⚖️ Balanced Mode
Adds additional context zones while keeping the chart clean.
Shows:
* Core Value Band
* Acceptance Edges
* transitional/rejection context
* vacuum/context areas where applicable
#### 🔬 Research Mode
Adds validation and diagnostic rows for development, review, and deeper inspection.
Shows:
* object count
* validation status
* pending state information
* alert condition status
---
## 📋 Dashboard Fields
The compact dashboard includes:
* Mode
* Regime
* HTF Context
* Core Value Band
* Acceptance Score
* Location
* Activity
* Context Quality
🔬 Research Mode can additionally show:
* Validation Status
* Object Count
* State Debug
* Alert Debug
---
## 🔔 Alerts
The indicator includes four confirmed-bar alert conditions:
* New Auction Regime
* Value Migration Started
* Acceptance Edge Broken
* Failed Auction Detected
⚠️ Alerts are context alerts only.
They are not trade entry or exit instructions.
---
## 🛠️ Suggested Use
Auction Regime Atlas is best used as a context layer.
Useful questions:
* Is price currently inside accepted value?
* Is price moving away from value?
* Is the market balanced or transitioning?
* Did price leave value without building new acceptance?
* Is the current move happening near or far away from accepted value?
* Does higher-timeframe context support or contradict the current auction?
✅ Recommended starting use:
* Focus Mode for clean chart reading
* Balanced Mode for broader context
* Research Mode only for diagnostics and validation
---
## 📖 Practical Workflow
A simple way to interpret auction conditions is to combine Regime, Location Awareness, and HTF Context into a structured process.
### 1️⃣ Step 1: Start With HTF Context
First identify the higher-timeframe backdrop shown in the dashboard.
Ask:
* Is the higher timeframe supportive of directional movement?
* Is it balanced or already migrating?
* Does it align with the current chart or create conflict?
🌍 HTF Context provides the broader auction environment in which lower-timeframe activity is occurring.
### 2️⃣ Step 2: Check Current Location
Next evaluate where price is relative to accepted value.
* Inside Value suggests ongoing acceptance and rotational behavior.
* Above Value or Below Value suggests price is testing outside accepted value.
* Away From Value suggests displacement from the current auction area.
* No Value suggests acceptance has not yet formed clearly.
📍 Location helps determine whether price is interacting with value or operating away from it.
### 3️⃣ Step 3: Read the Active Regime
Then assess the current Auction Regime state.
* Balance implies acceptance and rotational trade around value.
* Migration Up or Migration Down implies value is attempting to relocate.
* Failed Auction suggests an attempted move has not established acceptance.
* Neutral indicates limited directional auction information.
🔄 The regime describes the current phase of the auction process rather than predicting the next move.
### 4️⃣ Step 4: Compare Regime and Location
The most useful information often comes from the relationship between regime and location.
Examples:
* Balance + Inside Value often reflects stable acceptance.
* Migration Up + Above Value may indicate value expansion higher.
* Migration Down + Below Value may indicate value expansion lower.
* Failed Auction + Away From Value may indicate rejection of a recent auction attempt.
📊 This comparison helps identify whether price behavior is consistent with the current auction state.
### 5️⃣ Step 5: Evaluate Market State Transitions
Watch for changes between regimes while monitoring location relative to value.
Common transitions include:
* Balance → Migration Up
* Balance → Migration Down
* Migration → Failed Auction
* Failed Auction → Balance
🔍 A transition becomes more meaningful when it is supported by location changes and aligned with HTF Context.
### 6️⃣ Step 6: Build a Contextual Narrative
Rather than treating any single field as a signal, combine all three layers:
1. Determine the higher-timeframe backdrop.
2. Identify where price is relative to value.
3. Assess the active auction regime.
4. Monitor whether the relationship between those factors is strengthening or weakening.
🧠 This workflow helps traders interpret whether the market is accepting value, rejecting value, migrating toward a new value area, or transitioning between auction states.
---
## 📈 Recommended Markets and Timeframes
The indicator is designed for liquid markets, especially:
* crypto perpetuals
* major crypto spot markets
* liquid index or futures markets
* high-volume intraday instruments
⏱️ Suggested timeframes:
* 5m
* 15m
* 1h for higher timeframe context
---
## ⚠️ Important Limitations
Auction Regime Atlas does not use true orderflow, footprint, delta, liquidation, or exchange-level positioning data.
All calculations are based on OHLCV data available in Pine Script.
❌ The indicator does not predict price direction.
❌ It does not guarantee reversals, continuations, or breakouts.
❌ It does not provide financial advice.
📌 The visual zones should be interpreted as auction context, not as automatic trade levels.
---
## 🛡️ Non-Repainting Design
The indicator is designed with confirmed-bar logic and non-repainting higher-timeframe requests.
Higher-timeframe context uses confirmed data and avoids lookahead behavior.
🔧 Visuals are updated with a stable object lifecycle to reduce flicker and avoid uncontrolled object creation.

Levels V1.5 Wall Street RedneckLevels V1.5 — Wall Street Redneck
🔵 OVERVIEW
Levels V1.5 is a multi-layer price structure tool that maps three distinct areas of market interest onto a single, clean chart overlay.
Rather than relying on a single reference point, this script combines dynamic price averaging, volatility-based swing detection, and historically significant price levels to give traders a complete picture of where price has been, where it is, and where it may interact next.
The script is designed to support high-probability entry and exit decisions by identifying zones of confluence — areas where two or more layers of interest overlap, increasing the significance of a reaction.
It also helps traders identify zones to avoid, preventing entries into areas of historically poor risk-to-reward or active congestion.
🔵 CORE CONCEPTS
Candle Average Price Structure
A dynamic average derived from ongoing price action is used to identify the mean of recent candle behavior. This creates a reference band that adapts to current market conditions and helps define whether price is extended above or below its natural center of gravity.
ATR-Based Swing Interaction
An Average True Range component measures the current volatility environment and projects interaction boundaries around active price swings. This layer adjusts dynamically as volatility expands and contracts, providing context for how far price can realistically move before encountering resistance or support.
Key Price Level Mapping
Previously established and currently active price reference points are plotted directly on the chart. These include:
• Current Day High, Open, and Low
• Previous and Current Daily High and Low
• Previous and Current Weekly High and Low
• Previous and Current Monthly High and Low
• Previous and Current Yearly High and Low
• Previous and Current 4-Hour High and Low
These levels represent areas where institutional and retail participants have previously reacted, making them high-probability zones for future interaction.
🔵 HOW IT WORKS
The three layers of this script work together to define a structured decision-making framework:
• The candle average identifies price location relative to recent action
• The ATR layer defines the active swing range and volatility context
• The key level map identifies historically significant price points within that range
When price approaches an area where multiple layers converge, the significance of that zone increases. Entries taken at isolated levels carry less context than entries taken at zones of multi-layer confluence.
Customizable Zone Mapping
Each plotted zone displays both a top price and a bottom price, giving traders exact reference points for zone boundaries. These values can be used directly for limit order placement, stop positioning, or target identification.
Zone inputs are fully customizable, allowing traders to adjust sensitivity and range to match their preferred instrument and timeframe.
🔵 TRADE MANAGEMENT APPLICATIONS
• Use zones of confluence as high-probability entry areas
• Avoid initiating new trades inside areas of active congestion or between two opposing levels
• Use ATR interaction boundaries to set realistic target expectations
• Reference the key level map to identify where price may stall, reverse, or accelerate
• Use zone top and bottom prices for precise bracket order placement

Friction Map [NovaLens]Friction Map reads price structure the way a floor trader reads a room: it finds the price shelves where the market actually spent time, marks which ones are still live versus which the market has abandoned, and measures how much clear air you have to the nearest live shelf in each direction. It is a map of where structure is, how alive it is, and where the open space sits - not a buy or sell signal.
Most support/resistance tools draw static lines and leave them there forever, so the chart fills with levels that stopped mattering 300 bars ago. Friction Map keeps the same structure honest over time: every shelf carries a freshness that decays once the market stops trading at it, so the orange (live) shelves are the ones price has interacted with recently and the gray (fading) ones visibly age out.
═════════════════════════════════════════
◈ HOW TO READ IT
Friction Map draws directly on the price chart. There are two views of the same structure.
The shelves.
Orange = LIVE - price traded here recently; this is the current structure context.
Gray = FADING - price has not returned in a while; the market has moved on and the shelf dims the longer it stays untouched.
Faint dotted = BROKEN - price closed through it; an x-cross marks the exact bar it failed, and the dotted tail is kept so you can still see it existed.
KEY LEVEL - the strongest live shelf on the map (boldest line, brightest tag). The eye's anchor.
The room boxes. On the right edge, a box runs from current price to the nearest LIVE shelf above and below, with a label that reads the distance as a near-to-far range in ATR, for example "1 to 2.1 ATR" - meaning roughly 1 ATR of clear air, then the shelf running out to 2.1 ATR. ATR units make the read comparable on any symbol and timeframe. Teal means clear room; orange means a live shelf sits within about 1 ATR. When there is no live shelf in a direction the label reads "open air".
The breakout badge. On a confirmed close that breaks the recent range, and only at the extremes, the map prints a one-word context badge: CLEAR RUNWAY when there is no live shelf within the runway band ahead, or WALLED (with the distance) when a live shelf stands within about 1 ATR of the path. Only one CLEAR RUNWAY prints per clear-air leg - no repeats while price keeps running in the same open space, and it resets once price pulls back into a shelf. It is breakout context, never a direction call.
The info panel. A compact info panel compiles the read: the structure memory in bars; Room above and Room below as ATR ranges; Price now (open air, on a live shelf, or on a fading shelf); Last breakout (the most recent badge and how many bars ago); Shelves (how many live versus fading); and a one-line Reading takeaway.
The two views (Level view).
Anchored (default): each shelf line starts at its origin diamond, shows its current live (orange) / fading (gray) state from that origin, and marks the x-cross where it broke. An anchored structure story - where structure formed, how it reads now, and where it broke if broken - not a full per-era ledger.
Zones : every live shelf drawn as a clean full-width band straight across the chart, like a supply/demand map. Instant "where are my levels right now". No origin/break markers; broken shelves drop off.
═════════════════════════════════════════
◉ HOW IT WORKS
The density field. Across the lookback window, the indicator measures how often each price level sat inside the high-low range of the lookback bars - a time-at-price-style structure read. For every bar it asks which price levels the bar's high-low range covered, and accumulates that into a density field using a difference-array method (O(L+bins) per bar) so the script stays fast even on long charts and heavy lookbacks. Price levels where many bars overlapped are dense; levels price passed through quickly are thin.
Where shelves are born. A shelf forms at a density peak whose strength clears a RELATIVE floor - it must be at least a set fraction of the strongest peak currently on the map. That relative test is self-calibrating: it adapts to each asset and regime instead of relying on a fixed tick count, so the same indicator is designed to read BTC, SPY, EURUSD and gold without constant retuning. A small absolute floor screens out noise on near-empty windows.
Data-driven width. Each shelf's band is not a fixed width. It expands outward from the peak for as long as the neighbouring density holds at least half the peak value, then is capped to a readable range in ATR units. A wide consolidation earns a wide shelf; a tight one stays thin.
Aliveness (freshness). Every shelf carries a freshness equal to an exponential decay of the bars since the band was last traded (2^(-barsSinceTouch / halfLife)). Freshness is 1 while price is in the band and halves every half-life once price leaves. Above the live threshold a shelf renders LIVE (orange); below it the shelf renders FADING (gray) and dims further until it drops off the map.
Causal lifecycle. Shelves are born on confirmed bars and never re-placed. A shelf becomes BROKEN only when price, after arming on one side with real separation, closes through to the other side - the break bar is frozen and the line continues as a faint dotted tail. The ORIGIN anchor (the earliest bar within the lookback where price actually traded that level) and the BREAK anchor are both set once and never rewritten. That frozen history is the trust element: the map cannot quietly redraw the past to look right.
═════════════════════════════════════════
✦ HOW WE USE IT
A common read on a liquid crypto or index chart, default memory: price is pushing toward the top of its recent range. The panel Room above reads "0.4 to 1.6 ATR" in orange - there is a live shelf close overhead, so the map reads the upside as walled in the near term. Room below reads "open air" - nothing live underneath. Price is sitting in open air between an overhead live shelf and abandoned structure far below.
Now price closes through the recent high. Because the nearest live shelf overhead was inside the runway band, the map prints WALLED with the distance, not CLEAR RUNWAY - the break is into immediate structure, not open space. The badge does not say the break fails; it says there is a live shelf standing in the path, which is the context a discretionary trader wants before deciding whether the move has room.
Flip the situation: a confirmed break with Room ahead reading "open air" prints CLEAR RUNWAY . In our testing, clear-runway breakouts travelled further on average than walled ones (the effect was modest and weakest on rates). That is an observation about context, not a guarantee about the next bar.
The point of the map is the same in every case: see where the live structure is, see how much clear air you have to it in ATR, and read the breakout against that structure instead of against a static line.
═════════════════════════════════════════
❖ OTHER APPLICATIONS
Trade-location context : read entries against the nearest live shelf rather than a static S/R line - the orange shelves are the structure price has interacted with most recently.
Breakout context : CLEAR RUNWAY versus WALLED on a confirmed break, as a read on whether there is open space ahead or a live shelf in the path.
Stop and target context : the room ranges in ATR give a structure-aware sense of where the nearest live shelves sit above and below, for evaluating whether planned stops or targets sit near recent structure or out in open air, instead of at round numbers.
Chop filter : many overlapping live shelves with price standing on one ("on a live shelf" in the panel) is a congested read; sustained open air is cleaner trend space.
Structure classifier : use the Shelves row (live versus fading) and Room rows as a top-down structure filter for any external trade plan, independent of the badges.
Alert-driven workflow : subscribe to the clear-runway and walled breakout alerts and check the chart only when a confirmed breakout actually changes the structural picture.
═════════════════════════════════════════
⚙ GETTING STARTED
Friction Map ships with pre-tuned memory profiles plus a Custom override. Pick a memory and start reading the map - the default Auto setting matches the chart timeframe for you.
Structure memory:
Auto (match timeframe) (default): reads the chart - 30-minute and faster get Short, everything slower gets Medium.
Short (60 bars) : about one trading day on 5m, a week on 1H. Faster-moving map.
Medium (120 bars) : about a month on 1H, six months on 1D. Balanced.
Long (240 bars) : slow, full-cycle structure.
Custom : unlocks the Advanced group for full manual control.
Core display:
Level view : Anchored (causal story, default) or Zones (clean full-width bands).
Structure shelves : master toggle for the shelf lines. On by default. Under it, three per-state toggles let you choose which states draw:
Live shelves (orange) , Fading shelves (gray) , Broken shelves (dotted) - all on by default. Turn Broken off to declutter when a level has rebuilt live on top of old broken tails.
Room boxes + labels : the price-to-nearest-live-shelf boxes and ATR range labels. On by default.
Breakout badge : CLEAR RUNWAY / WALLED context badges on confirmed breakouts. On by default.
Shelf state tags : a small LIVE / FADING / KEY LEVEL tag at the right end of each shelf. On by default; turn off for a cleaner chart once the colours are familiar.
Show real shelf width : off by default (live shelves get a thin subtle halo). On draws each live shelf at its true data-driven width as a wider transparent band.
Info panel : pick where the summary panel anchors - Top Right (default), Top Left, Bottom Right, Bottom Left, Middle Right, or Off to hide it.
Dark theme panel : panel colours for dark charts; turn off on a light background.
Level reach (bars) : how far back the shelf lines and halos draw, so old structure does not stretch across the whole chart.
Appearance / Colours (4 pickers):
Live shelf, Fading shelf, Clear air, Broken shelf - each on its own line. The shelf lines, halos, room boxes, tags and badges all reference these inputs, so the palette adapts for colour-blind, light-mode or brand themes without forking the script.
Advanced (Memory = Custom only): Custom opens on the same defaults as the Medium profile (not a live copy of whichever profile you are currently on), so coming from Medium the switch is seamless; coming from Short or Long the map steps to that baseline first. Then every dial below is yours.
Lookback (bars) : structure memory in bars. Larger = more history considered, slower-moving map.
Freshness half-life : how fast a shelf fades once the market stops trading at it. After this many bars untouched a shelf is at half freshness.
Breakout lookback : a breakout is a confirmed close that newly breaks beyond the prior N-bar high or low (a fresh cross, so a sustained trend does not re-fire it every bar).
Min strength (vs strongest) : a shelf is born only if its density is at least this fraction of the strongest peak on the map. Raise for fewer, stronger shelves.
Merge distance (ATR) : shelf candidates closer than this to an existing shelf refresh it instead of spawning a duplicate.
Max shelves : cap on simultaneously tracked (non-broken) shelves; the weakest is pruned when a stronger one is born.
Live threshold : freshness above this renders a shelf LIVE (orange).
Runway band (ATR) : how far ahead of a breakout to scan for live shelves when deciding CLEAR RUNWAY versus WALLED.
═════════════════════════════════════════
△ LIMITATIONS
Descriptive, not predictive : Friction Map shows where price spent time and how alive that structure is. It makes no claim that a shelf will hold or that a breakout will follow through. There is no buy or sell signal anywhere in the tool.
Time-at-price, not volume : the density field is built from how much of the traded range sat at each level, not from volume. That keeps the read universally stable across every asset and data feed (crypto volume is fractured by exchange, FX volume is a tick proxy), but it does not weight a busy bar more than a quiet one.
Backward-looking by construction : in fast moves and gaps, room can jump to "open air" quickly as price leaps into untraded territory. That is accurate but may not persist.
Room measures to LIVE shelves only : the room ranges and the badge ignore fading shelves on purpose - the room read focuses on the current (orange) structure. A fading shelf still shows on the chart as a gray line; it just is not counted as room.
The breakout effect is context, not edge : in testing, clear-runway breakouts travelled further than walled ones on average, but the difference was modest and weakest on rates. Treat the badge as context to read alongside your own plan, not as a validated signal.
Recency fade : a structurally important level that has not been traded in a long time will fade from the map even if you still consider it important. Lengthen the memory or half-life if you want older structure to persist.
═════════════════════════════════════════
🔔 ALERTS
Two alert conditions are built in so you can monitor structure without watching every bar:
Clear-runway breakout : a confirmed breakout into clear air (no live shelf within the runway band ahead).
Walled breakout : a confirmed breakout into nearby live structure (a live shelf within about 1 ATR of the path).
Both fire on bar close (gated on `barstate.isconfirmed`) - no intrabar repaint. The indicator also emits a richer alert with a pure-JSON payload for routing to your own automation or webhook stack. The payload carries the brand, the indicator name, the event, the direction, the up and down clearance in ATR, the current price, the ticker, the timeframe and the bar time (the clearance fields are sent as text and read "open" when there is no live shelf that way). Pick ONE mechanism per event - the dropdown alert condition for a simple notification, or the JSON alert for a webhook - so you do not get duplicate notifications. Badges and alerts fire even when the on-chart badge is toggled off; alerts should not require chart clutter.

⌁ NOTES
Built on a containment-count density field (time-at-price), with data-driven band width, exponential freshness decay, and a causal frozen lifecycle (origin and break anchors set once and never moved).
Method lineage: the density field is a time-at-price construction, in the tradition of Market Profile (J. Peter Steidlmayer, popularised at the CBOT in the 1980s), which reads structure from where the market spent time rather than from volume. Friction Map adds the freshness decay and the causal live/fading/broken lifecycle on top of that classical time-at-price idea.
Repaint: non-repainting on confirmed bars. Births, breaks, clearance, badges and alerts are computed on bar close; the current bar updates in real time. Live/fading colour reflects current state, so a re-traded faded shelf can re-colour live - no past origin or break anchor is ever changed.
Original construction. The engine is built from first principles for this tool; there is no external reference implementation, so no validation-correlation claim is made.

Liquidity Vault [Dojo La Nuit]Liquidity Vault maps resting liquidity on your chart as clean horizontal levels and tracks what happens to them — without any buy/sell signals or predictions. It is a pure visualization tool for traders who read price around liquidity.
HOW IT WORKS
The script detects swing pivots and clusters nearby highs (and nearby lows) into single liquidity zones using an ATR-based tolerance, so the levels travel across instruments without re-tuning. Each zone gets a strength score from 0 to 100 built from three factors:
• Touches — how many times price reacted at the level
• Freshness — recent levels score higher and decay over time (configurable half-life)
• Volume — relative volume that accumulated at the level
HOW TO READ IT
• Red lines = sell-side liquidity (resting above price)
• Green lines = buy-side liquidity (resting below price)
• Opacity = strength: the stronger the zone, the more solid the line
• Dimmed, dotted lines = zones that have already been swept (price wicked through the level). They are kept as context, not removed.
SETTINGS
• Zone Detection — adaptive or fixed pivot length, clustering tolerance, lookback, max live zones
• Zone Strength — minimum score to display, freshness half-life, volume weighting on/off
• Visuals — theme (auto/dark/light), strength-based intensity, keep swept zones, line width
• Colors — fully customizable buy-side / sell-side colors
NOTES
Strength is shown through line opacity by design, to keep the chart minimal. Zones are recalculated on confirmed bars. This tool highlights where liquidity rests and when it gets taken — it does not generate entries, targets or signals.

🌙 LIQUIDITY VAULT — Dojo La Nuit
Liquidity Vault mostra la liquidità presente sul grafico come livelli orizzontali puliti e ne traccia l'evoluzione, senza segnali di acquisto/vendita e senza previsioni. È uno strumento puramente visivo per chi opera attorno alla liquidità.
COME FUNZIONA
Lo script individua i pivot di mercato e raggruppa i massimi (e i minimi) vicini in un'unica zona di liquidità tramite una tolleranza basata sull'ATR, così i livelli funzionano su strumenti diversi senza dover ritoccare i parametri. A ogni zona viene assegnato un punteggio di forza da 0 a 100, calcolato su tre fattori:
• Tocchi — quante volte il prezzo ha reagito al livello
• Freschezza — i livelli recenti pesano di più e si attenuano nel tempo (half-life configurabile)
• Volume — il volume relativo accumulato sul livello
COME SI LEGGE
• Linee rosse = liquidità sell-side (sopra il prezzo)
• Linee verdi = liquidità buy-side (sotto il prezzo)
• Opacità = forza: più la zona è forte, più la linea è piena
• Linee attenuate e puntinate = zone già spazzate (il prezzo ha bucato il livello con un'ombra). Restano come contesto, non vengono rimosse.
IMPOSTAZIONI
• Rilevamento zone — pivot adattivo o fisso, tolleranza di clustering, lookback, numero massimo di zone attive
• Forza zone — punteggio minimo da mostrare, half-life della freschezza, peso del volume on/off
• Visual — tema (auto/scuro/chiaro), intensità in base alla forza, mantieni zone spazzate, spessore linea
• Colori — colori buy-side / sell-side completamente personalizzabili
NOTE
La forza è rappresentata tramite l'opacità della linea, per scelta, per mantenere il grafico minimale. Le zone vengono ricalcolate sulle barre confermate. Lo strumento evidenzia dove si trova la liquidità e quando viene presa: non genera entrate, target o segnali.

Liquidity Map & Execution Cost# Liquidity Map & Execution Cost
## What this script does
LMX answers three execution questions most indicators ignore: **how expensive is it to get in and out right now, how hard would it be to move size, and where on the chart will price struggle versus travel freely.** It reads only the chart's own price and volume — no symbol is hardcoded, so it runs on any asset and any market (equities, futures, FX, crypto, indices) — and turns the answers into a plain-language trade check: liquidity state, suggested position size, order type, estimated slippage, and a colour-coded map of support, resistance, walls and open gaps.
## Why these components are combined (mashup justification)
This is not several indicators stacked together — it is one liquidity model whose parts each answer a question the others cannot, and they are designed to be read together. Removing any one leaves a specific blind spot:
1. **Cost to cross — effective spread.** Estimated with the EDGE estimator (Ardia, Guidotti & Kroencke 2024) from open/high/low/close, cross-checked against Abdi-Ranaldo (2017) and Corwin-Schultz (2012). This tells you the round-trip cost of entering, which spread-blind tools cannot show. Alone, it says nothing about moving size or about levels.
2. **Cost to move size — price impact.** The Amihud (2002) illiquidity ratio with a high-low refinement, plus a rolling Kyle (1985) lambda computed as a true regression slope. This tells you how far your own order would push price — the question that matters for sizing, and one a spread estimate cannot answer.
3. **Direction of pressure — order imbalance.** A close-location signed-volume imbalance and its persistence. This tells you which side is leaning now, adding direction that the cost measures lack.
4. **The spatial map — volume at price.** A time-decay-weighted, range-distributed volume profile that yields the Point of Control and Value Area (standard 70% method), rendered as directional zones: green support below price, red resistance above, solid = a wall price struggles at, faint = an open gap price slides through. This converts the abstract cost/impact numbers into *locations* on the chart.
5. **Anchored VWAP — fair value.** A volume-weighted average anchored to your chosen reference (last major swing by default; or session/week/month open, or the highest-volume bar), drawn as a trend-coloured line. It is the dynamic counterpart to the static profile: where the average participant is positioned, and whether price is rich or cheap versus that.
Together they form one decision: the spread and impact set the **cost and size**, the imbalance and VWAP set the **direction and fair value**, and the map sets the **location** — so the output is "trade full size with market orders, buyers in control, room to run up to the gap above," not five separate readings.
## How a reading is produced
Each estimator is normalised to a percentile of its own history so thresholds adapt to every symbol and timeframe. The inverted spread, inverted impact and depth combine into a 0–100 **Liquidity Score**, classified as Deep / Normal / Thin / Stressed (a sudden impact spike forces Stressed). The score drives the suggested size multiplier, the order-type advice and the slippage estimate. The map is rebuilt on the last bar from the volume-at-price profile.
## How to use it
- Apply to any symbol. Set the price source and, if you trade very low intraday timeframes, optionally fix the calc timeframe (e.g. Daily) so the spread estimators stay stable. On symbols without real volume the volume modules disable automatically and the score leans on the spread estimators (the panel shows "price-only").
- **Simple mode (default)** gives plain-language guidance: Liquidity, Trade cost, Pressure, Position size, Orders, Watch-out, Fair value, and a one-line verdict. **Pro mode** exposes the full readout (spread in bps, Amihud and Kyle percentiles, depth, imbalance, flow persistence, value-area levels).
- On the chart: trade toward green support, expect resistance at red, size down where the map is thin (price moves fast there), and read the trend-coloured fair-value line for rich/cheap context.
- Alerts: liquidity-state change and sudden liquidity withdrawal.
## Originality
The combination is the original contribution: a single overlay that fuses low-frequency **spread**, **impact** and **imbalance** estimators with a **time-decay, range-distributed volume profile** and an anchored fair-value line, then translates all of it into sizing/order/slippage decisions in plain language. The building blocks are public-domain methods (EDGE, Abdi-Ranaldo, Corwin-Schultz, Amihud, Kyle, volume-profile Value Area, anchored VWAP), each used for the specific job described above and cited in the script header.
## Limitations (please read)
- These are **low-frequency estimators** of quantities normally measured from quote/tick data. They approximate — they do not measure — the true spread, depth, or dealer book.
- Volume-based modules require a real volume feed; they disable on symbols without one.
- Spread estimators were validated on daily-type bars; on very fast intraday timeframes they are noisier — use the calc-timeframe option if needed.
- The on-panel statistics are computed on the loaded chart history.
- This is an analysis tool, **not financial advice.** Test before use and trade at your own risk.

Liquidity Sweep Retracements [MarkitTick]💡An advanced analytical framework designed to decode market micro-structure by evaluating the depth, speed, and statistical probability of price pullbacks. Rather than relying solely on static Fibonacci levels, this tool dynamically tracks the historical characteristics of an asset's swing behavior, alerting the user to structural anomalies and shifts in momentum. By intersecting retracement analysis with liquidity sweep detection and a built-in heatmap, this framework offers a comprehensive lens into market behavior, isolating environments where trend continuation is highly probable versus areas prone to exhaustion.
✨ Originality and Utility
Standard market analysis often relies on rigid tools that do not adapt to changing volatility conditions. This script introduces a highly original dynamic evaluation method by actively saving the characteristics of recent price swings into an internal array and establishing a moving statistical baseline.
The primary utility of this script lies in its multidimensional analysis. It does not just measure how far price has pulled back; it calculates how fast the pullback occurred and compares this velocity to the asset's recent historical baseline. This enables the framework to categorize price action not merely as a "pullback," but as a statistically significant "Anomaly" or an "Aggressive" move. Furthermore, by weaving Higher Timeframe (HTF) trend alignments and localized liquidity sweep detections into a single, cohesive dashboard and visual charting environment, it reduces chart clutter while exponentially increasing the depth of available data.
🔬 Methodology and Concepts
● Swing Structuring and Pivot Detection
The foundational logic relies on identifying structural pivot highs and lows through a localized lookback and look-forward window. The algorithm requires a definitive peak or trough isolated by user-defined left and right bars, establishing the anchor points for all subsequent mathematical measurements.
● Dynamic Retracement Scoring
Once a swing structure is confirmed, the script calculates the exact percentage of the retracement relative to the preceding impulse. These percentages are continuously categorized into defined behavioral zones:
Impulse (Less than 23%)
Shallow (Less than 38%)
Healthy (Up to 61.8%)
Deep (Up to 78.6%)
Reversal (Beyond 78.6%)
● Retracement Momentum Velocity (RMV)
Time and price are merged to extract velocity. By dividing the total percentage of the retracement by the number of bars it took to form, the script generates a velocity reading. This reading is dynamically compared against an array of historical velocities to determine if the current counter-trend move is unusually aggressive.
● Statistical Anomaly Detection
The script manages historical arrays of past retracement data, calculating a rolling mean (average) and standard deviation. An anomaly is triggered when a live retracement deviates significantly from this moving baseline, determined by a user-defined standard deviation multiplier. This mathematically highlights structural shifts before they mature into full trend reversals.
● Liquidity Sweep Verification
The indicator actively monitors price interactions with localized structural extremes. A bullish sweep occurs when price pierces a recent significant low but closes decisively above it, creating a structural trap. Bearish sweeps apply the inverse logic to structural highs.
🎨 Visual Guide
● Heatmap Candles
The script overrides standard candle colors with a dynamic heatmap that visually translates the health and speed of the current retracement:
Green indicates a healthy, standard retracement zone.
Orange highlights a weak zone, suggesting the trend is losing foundational strength.
Red warns of a deep structural violation bordering on a reversal.
Purple explicitly signifies an aggressive Retracement Momentum Velocity (RMV), warning of high counter-trend momentum.
● Price Action Overlays and Labels
Pivot Highs and Lows are marked precisely with small red and green crosses. (Note: These appear retroactively once the defined right-side bars confirm the pivot).
Data Labels are plotted at swing extremes. These carry a dark blue-gray background with dynamic text colors. They display the exact retracement percentage alongside quality badges, anomaly alerts (orange for opportunity, red for danger), and RMV warnings.
● Liquidity Markers
When a sweep is detected, small distinct shapes appear. "LS" text markers are plotted in bright green below bullish sweeps and bright red above bearish sweeps, visually anchoring liquidity traps directly onto the price action.
● The Analytical Dashboard
Located in the top right corner, this panel serves as the central intelligence hub. It utilizes shaded backgrounds to organize critical data natively on the chart.
Retracement and Health bars utilize block characters (█/░) to visualize strength out of 100%.
HTF Alignment displays the macro bias via clear text and color codes (Green for Bullish, Red for Bearish).
The dashboard aggregates averages, velocities, and quality metrics into a readable, high-contrast matrix.
📌 Note : the best way to resolve visual overlap is to navigate to the Object Tree and drag the indicator above the main chart layer, or simply hide the native candles in your chart settings.
📖 How to Use
Traders should monitor the dynamic relationship between the visual candle heatmap and the dashboard metrics.
Trend Continuation: Look for retracements that remain within the "Healthy" or "Shallow" zones (highlighted by green candles and positive dashboard health scores) that align with a bullish HTF signal.
Anomaly Exploitation: If an anomaly label appears marking a shallow retracement (orange text warning), this historically suggests an unusually strong impulse where standard deep pullbacks may not materialize.
Exhaustion Warnings: If the candles shift to purple, indicating an RMV Aggressive state, the counter-trend velocity is statistically high. Traders may use this to delay entries until momentum normalizes, or to identify structural traps if this aggression ends in a marked Liquidity Sweep (LS marker).
⚙️ Inputs and Settings
• Swing Settings
Controls the sensitivity of pivot detection. Higher values filter out market noise for major swing structures, while lower values react quickly to micro-trends.
• Retracement and Anomaly Parameters
Dictates the maximum number of historical retracements held in the memory array. The Standard Deviation Threshold allows users to expand or contract the mathematical boundary for what qualifies as an anomaly.
• RMV (Velocity) Limits
Controls the aggression threshold. Adjusting the multiplier determines how much faster a retracement must be compared to the historical average to trigger the purple heatmap and aggressive warnings.
• Liquidity Sweeps
Defines the lookback length for identifying local highs and lows that act as liquidity pools.
• Alerts and Dashboard Configuration
Enables fully customizable JSON-formatted alerts based on statistical deviations, and allows users to toggle or completely restyle the visual dashboard and heatmap components.
🔍 Deconstruction of the Underlying Scientific and Academic Framework
This indicator is heavily anchored in statistical mechanics and kinematics principles applied to financial time-series data.
• Gaussian Distribution and Variance
Instead of utilizing fixed geometric sequences (such as the Golden Ratio), the framework treats market swings as a dataset exhibiting normal distribution characteristics. By calculating the variance and extracting the standard deviation of historical swing depths, the script establishes mathematically sound confidence intervals. When price action breaches these standard deviation bands, it represents a statistically significant outlier, formally alerting the user to a fat-tail market event.
• Financial Kinematics
The integration of Retracement Momentum Velocity (RMV) introduces physics-based kinematic principles to price action. In traditional mechanics, velocity is the rate of change of position with respect to a frame of reference. The algorithm defines the frame of reference as the structural swing, calculating velocity as the percentage of displacement per unit of time (bars). By tracking the rolling average of this velocity, the script can algorithmically determine when kinetic energy in a counter-trend direction is statistically abnormal, independent of the actual price level reached.
