AG Pro Support Resistance Reaction Map [AGPro Series]AG Pro Support Resistance Reaction Map
Overview / What it does
This indicator maps horizontal support and resistance zones from confirmed price structure, then evaluates how price reacts when it returns to those zones. Instead of treating every level touch as equally important, the script focuses on whether the interaction looks constructive, weak, or potentially broken.
The core objective is to make structural reactions easier to read on-chart. Confirmed pivot highs and lows are converted into zones, nearby levels are merged, older levels can expire, and the chart prioritizes the most relevant active zones on each side of price. When price re-enters a zone, the script grades the reaction and can display labels such as Clean Hold, Sharp Reject, Soft Bounce, or Break Confirmed.
This publication is designed as an indicator, not as an execution engine. It does not place trades, predict future returns, or guarantee that a level will hold. Its purpose is to help traders organize structural context and evaluate reaction quality in a more systematic way.
Unique Edge
Support and resistance is a classic concept, so the difference here is not the concept itself but the workflow built around it.
This script is not a generic auto-drawing tool that tries to plot every possible line. It is a reaction map. The emphasis is on how price behaves inside a structural zone, not on covering the chart with as many levels as possible.
The script differs from tools that are primarily centered on pivot formulas, breakout-retest grading, moving-average reclaim logic, or channel structure. Here, the focus is horizontal structural memory and the quality of the live interaction with that memory. In practice, that means the script is trying to answer questions such as:
- Is this support still reacting constructively?
- Is this resistance rejecting cleanly or absorbing pressure?
- Is the latest touch just noise, or is it a more meaningful retest?
- Which nearby intact levels still deserve attention right now?
Another important distinction is the panel logic. The compact panel does not attempt to summarize all historical levels. It highlights the nearest intact support below price and the nearest intact resistance above price, along with their state, raw versus qualified touch count, and the latest recorded reaction.
Methodology
1) Structural level detection
Confirmed pivot highs and lows are used to create horizontal support and resistance zones. The script waits for confirmation rather than guessing unfinished pivots.
2) Zone construction
Each level is converted into a zone using an ATR-based width. This keeps the plotted area adaptable instead of forcing the same fixed width on all markets and all volatility environments.
3) Merge logic
Nearby levels of the same type can be merged when they fall within the selected merge distance. This helps reduce duplication and keeps the map cleaner.
4) Age and visibility control
Older levels can expire, broken levels can be hidden or faded, and the script visually prioritizes the nearest intact zones. This is intended to improve readability rather than preserve every historical level forever.
5) Reaction scoring
When price newly enters a live zone, the script evaluates the interaction using factors such as penetration depth, close location inside or outside the zone, candle body bias, impulse, and whether the touch is the first qualified retest. The result is translated into a reaction label and a quality score.
6) Touch accounting
The script tracks both Raw and Qualified touches. Raw touches represent zone entries. Qualified touches are stricter and require a fresh entry plus cooldown spacing, which helps avoid counting clustered bars as repeated independent retests.
Signals & Alerts
The script can generate labels and alerts around the most important structural interactions.
Main reaction labels:
- Clean Hold
- Sharp Reject
- Soft Bounce
- Break Confirmed
- Failure Risk
Main alert conditions:
- Bullish Level Reaction
- Bearish Level Reaction
- Level Break Confirmed
These labels and alerts are descriptive, not predictive. They summarize the current structural interaction detected by the script. They are not trade instructions and should not be interpreted as a promise of continuation or reversal.

Limitations & Transparency
- Pivot-based levels are confirmed after the selected pivot strength completes, so the script is intentionally reactive rather than anticipatory.
- Zone width is ATR-based, which means the visual footprint of levels will change with volatility.
- Raw and Qualified touch counts are intentionally different. Qualified touches are filtered by entry logic and cooldown, so they will usually be lower than raw counts.
- The compact panel is selective. It shows the nearest intact support and the nearest intact resistance, not a full inventory of every level on the chart.
- Visibility controls are designed to keep the chart readable. As a result, some valid but lower-priority levels may be de-emphasized or hidden from the main view.
- Support and resistance remains interpretive by nature. No horizontal level works in isolation across all symbols, timeframes, or market regimes.
Risk Disclosure
This indicator is a chart-analysis tool. It is not a broker, a signal service, or an automated trading system. It does not provide investment advice and it does not guarantee that any level will hold, reject, or break in a particular way.
All markets involve risk. Price can invalidate a structural zone quickly, especially during news events, regime shifts, or low-liquidity conditions. Use the script as one part of a broader decision process that includes market context, liquidity conditions, timeframe alignment, and risk management.

Resistance & Support Dynamic PRO [ChartWhizzperer]Resistance & Support Dynamic PRO | Algorithmic Zones by ChartWhizzperer
The revolution in chart hygiene.
Most support and resistance indicators share a massive flaw: they turn your chart into an unreadable mess of endless lines and boxes within hours. They possess no memory, no filters, and crucially – no logic for self-cleaning.
As a system architect, I developed the Resistance/Support Dynamic™ PRO to solve this problem mathematically. This open-source indicator does not merely draw zones. It evaluates them, ages them, and purges them when they become obsolete.
CORE FEATURES (Why this indicator is different):
Smart Mitigation Protocol (Purge Logic): Once a zone has been breached or chopped by the market too many times, it loses its institutional relevance. The algorithm detects these structural breaks (strikes) and permanently purges the dead zone from the chart. No more ghosting.
Alpha Decay Engine: Nothing lasts forever – especially not in trading. Zones fade over time (transparency scales mathematically with the zone's age). Current hotspots are highly visible, whilst older levels smoothly fade into the background.
Volume Validation: Not every pivot point represents genuine Smart Money. If this filter is active, an S/R zone is only drawn if the origin candle exhibits above-average volume (SMA-verified).
ATR-Based Sizing & Overlap Guard: The thickness of the zones dynamically adapts to market volatility (ATR). Furthermore, the overlap guard prevents new zones from being drawn over existing ones, preventing visual clutter.
Examine the source code: This is not spaghetti code. It is highly efficient, object-oriented Pine Script (v6) featuring clean array management and User-Defined Types (UDTs).
THE BITTER TRUTH OF TRADING (And the next logical step)
This indicator provides you with the ultimate map. It shows you with clinical precision exactly where Smart Money has left liquidity.
However, a map does not pull the trigger. Ask me for more!

AG Pro Pivot Points Reaction Map [AGPro Series]AG Pro Pivot Points Reaction Map
Overview / What it does
AG Pro Pivot Points Reaction Map is an overlay indicator designed to analyze how price behaves around classical pivot levels rather than only plotting those levels as static horizontal references. The script builds Daily or Weekly pivot structures from prior period OHLC data and then tracks the currently active pivot in order to highlight nearby price interaction, reaction quality, and short-term context.
Instead of treating every pivot line equally at all times, the script uses an active-pivot framework. This allows the chart to stay focused on the level that is currently most relevant to price while still keeping broader pivot structure visible in the background. The goal is to help traders evaluate whether price is reacting constructively, rejecting, reclaiming, compressing, or losing a key pivot area.
The visual design is intentionally split into two layers. The first layer is the classical pivot structure itself, including PP, R1, S1, and optional extended levels such as R2 and S2. The second layer is the reaction map built around the active pivot. This layer adds an ATR-based reaction zone, state detection, filtered event labeling, active context tags, and an information panel so the chart can communicate more than a simple “price above” or “price below” condition.
This indicator is intended for chart analysis, workflow support, and structured market reading. It does not attempt to predict future prices, and it should not be interpreted as a standalone trade execution system. It is best used as a contextual overlay that helps organize price behavior around widely followed pivot references.
Unique Edge
The core distinction of this script is that it is not just another pivot plotting tool. Classical pivot indicators usually stop at drawing levels. This script continues one step further by evaluating reaction behavior around the currently active level.
Its main differentiator is the active reaction framework. The script identifies a current pivot focus, builds a dynamic reaction zone around that level, and then classifies price interaction into states such as reclaim, loss, holding behavior, rejection behavior, and compression near pivot. This moves the indicator away from passive level display and toward structured price-context mapping.
A second differentiator is the sticky active pivot logic. Instead of shifting focus too aggressively whenever price becomes marginally closer to a different level, the script attempts to keep chart attention anchored to the current active pivot until conditions justify a transition. This improves visual continuity and makes the chart easier to read during multi-bar interaction.
A third differentiator is signal hygiene. Reaction labels can be filtered through cooldown logic, score thresholds, and event selection rules so that the chart remains readable. Major events can be emphasized while weaker or more repetitive reactions remain in the background. This helps preserve interpretability instead of overwhelming the screen with every minor touch.
Finally, the script combines chart-side cues with a compact state panel. The panel reports the active pivot, pivot price, current distance, live state, last score, and directional bias. This allows users to scan the present context without losing the full visual relationship on the chart.
Methodology
The pivot engine uses prior Daily or Weekly OHLC values to construct standard pivot levels. These levels form the structural base of the indicator. Depending on settings, the script can display the central pivot point together with first and second resistance/support layers.
From that structure, the script evaluates which pivot is currently most relevant to price and assigns that level as the active pivot. A sticky selection process is then used so the active focus does not rotate too easily on minor fluctuations. This helps the script behave more like a context map and less like a constantly flickering nearest-line tracker.
Around the active pivot, the script builds a reaction zone using ATR. This means the mapped zone adapts to the instrument’s recent volatility rather than using a fixed absolute distance. A wider volatility environment naturally leads to a wider interaction zone, while a calmer environment keeps the zone tighter.
Inside that zone, the script studies price behavior using a combination of position relative to the pivot, candle body structure, wick emphasis, and short-term displacement from the level. It also computes a reaction score designed to quantify how constructive or decisive the interaction appears under the script’s logic. Stronger reclaim or rejection characteristics can therefore stand out from weaker, noisier touches.
The result is a layered read of market structure:
- classical pivot references define the environment,
- the active pivot identifies current relevance,
- the ATR-based zone frames the interaction area,
- event logic classifies notable reactions,
- the panel summarizes the current state.
Signals & Alerts
The script can identify and label several reaction types around the active pivot. Depending on settings and score thresholds, these may include reclaim events, pivot loss events, reaction holding behavior, and reaction rejection behavior.
In addition to chart labeling, the script includes alert conditions for major workflow events. These are designed to notify the user when price is showing a notable interaction around the active pivot. Available alert categories include bullish reaction confirmation, bearish reaction confirmation, pivot loss confirmation, compression near pivot, and active pivot changes.
Because this is a contextual indicator rather than a complete strategy, alerts should be interpreted as informational events. They are intended to help users monitor evolving price behavior around important pivot areas, not to replace independent analysis, execution rules, or risk management.
Key Inputs
Pivot Anchor
Selects whether the pivot structure is built from Daily or Weekly source data.
Show R2 / S2
Allows the extended pivot structure to remain visible for users who want broader context beyond PP, R1, and S1.
Base Pivot Line Width / Active Pivot Line Width
Controls the visual hierarchy between background pivot references and the currently active pivot.
Reaction Zone (ATR Multiplier)
Defines the width of the active reaction zone relative to recent volatility.
Wick Emphasis
Adjusts how strongly wick behavior contributes to reaction interpretation.
Signal Cooldown (Bars)
Prevents labels and events from clustering too tightly during noisy price interaction.
Show Reaction Labels / Label Mode / Minimum Label Score
Controls which reaction labels appear on the chart and how selective the script should be.
Focus Mode
Adjusts how aggressively non-active pivot lines fade into the background.
Reaction Label Size
Changes the chart label size for reaction events and edge tags.
Show Event Markers / Show Active Pivot Halo / Show Right Edge Active Tag
Controls optional visual layers that can make the active structure easier to follow.
Passive Context Tags
Adds simplified right-edge tags for passive pivot references so faded background levels remain interpretable.
Show Info Panel / Panel Position / Panel Theme / Panel Font Size
Configures the summary panel to match user preference and chart layout.
Limitations & Transparency
This script is based on classical pivot concepts and volatility-adjusted reaction mapping. It does not know future price direction, and it does not forecast whether any pivot will hold or fail before price interacts with that area.
Reaction labels and scores are formula-driven representations of the script’s internal logic. They are not objective truth statements about market intent, and they should not be interpreted as guaranteed support, guaranteed resistance, or guaranteed continuation/reversal behavior.
Like all level-based overlays, the script can produce different impressions depending on the selected timeframe, instrument volatility, and chart conditions. Fast-moving instruments, low-liquidity environments, and sudden news-driven candles may reduce the practical value of any fixed structural framework, including pivots.
The active pivot model is intentionally selective. That improves chart focus, but it also means the script emphasizes one current pivot context over other simultaneously visible levels. Users who want a broader or more aggressive level-tracking style may prefer different settings than the default configuration.
The indicator is also not a backtesting engine and does not provide complete entry, exit, stop, or position sizing logic. It should therefore be used as one analytical component within a broader decision process.
Risk Disclosure
This indicator is for analytical and educational use only. It does not provide investment advice, trading advice, or financial advice.
Markets involve risk. Price can move through pivot levels without respecting them, reaction quality can deteriorate quickly, and conditions that appear constructive on one bar can fail on the next. No indicator can remove uncertainty from live markets.
Users should evaluate this script together with their own market framework, timeframe selection, execution process, and risk controls. Decisions involving capital should never rely on a single indicator, label, panel reading, or alert event in isolation. Indicator
AG Pro Ichimoku Cloud Equilibrium Map [AGPro Series]AG Pro Ichimoku Cloud Equilibrium Map
Overview / What it does
AG Pro Ichimoku Cloud Equilibrium Map is an Ichimoku-based overlay designed to map balance, displacement, and return-to-balance behavior around a dynamic equilibrium core. Instead of using Ichimoku primarily as a traditional bullish/bearish checklist, this script reorganizes the framework around one structural question: where is price trading relative to its current equilibrium, and is that position balanced, expanding, overstretched, or reclaiming balance?
The script blends Kijun-Sen with the cloud midpoint to build an equilibrium core, then expands that core into an adaptive equilibrium band using ATR and cloud thickness. From there, it classifies how price is behaving around that band and displays the result through chart states, optional labels, and a compact information panel.
This script is intended as a chart analysis tool. It is built to help users read structure more efficiently, especially when standard Ichimoku layouts feel visually dense or interpretation-heavy.
Unique Edge
The main difference is that this script does not treat Ichimoku as a simple trend confirmation overlay. It converts the Ichimoku framework into an equilibrium map.
Rather than focusing only on whether price is above or below the cloud, this script asks:
- Is price still near structural balance?
- Is price moving away from equilibrium in a controlled way?
- Has the move become stretched?
- Is price returning back into equilibrium after displacement?
That makes it different from a standard Ichimoku presentation, where the raw components are visible but the user must do most of the structural interpretation manually.
It is also different from other AG Pro scripts built around breakout quality, oscillator pressure, compression behavior, or reversion frameworks. This tool is specifically centered on equilibrium, extension, and reclaim behavior using an Ichimoku-derived structure model.
Methodology
The script uses the following structure:
1. Kijun-Sen
Kijun-Sen is used as one of the main balance anchors.
2. Cloud midpoint
The midpoint between Span A and Span B is used as a second structural reference.
3. Equilibrium core
The script combines Kijun-Sen and the cloud midpoint into a dynamic equilibrium core.
4. Equilibrium band
An adaptive band is built around the equilibrium core using ATR and cloud thickness. This allows the model to respond differently in quieter and more volatile conditions.
5. Stretch zones
Beyond the equilibrium band, the script defines stretch areas that help distinguish normal directional expansion from more extended displacement.
6. Reclaim logic
When price moves back into the equilibrium region after being outside it, the script can classify that transition as a reclaim state.
This methodology is designed to make Ichimoku structure more explicit without removing the original context of the cloud framework.
States / Signals & Alerts
The script classifies chart behavior into the following states:
Balanced
Price is trading inside the equilibrium band.
Bullish Expansion
Price is trading above the equilibrium band with supportive directional structure.
Bearish Expansion
Price is trading below the equilibrium band with supportive directional structure.
Overstretched Bullish
Price is extended above the stretch threshold.
Overstretched Bearish
Price is extended below the stretch threshold.
Bullish Reclaim
Price has returned into the equilibrium region after trading below it.
Bearish Reclaim
Price has returned into the equilibrium region after trading above it.
Available alert conditions:
- Bullish Expansion
- Bearish Expansion
- Overstretched Bullish
- Overstretched Bearish
- Bullish Reclaim
- Bearish Reclaim
These states and alerts are descriptive tools for chart analysis. They are not a complete trade plan and should be interpreted in context.
Key Inputs
Ichimoku settings
Users can adjust Tenkan length, Kijun length, Senkou Span B length, and displacement.
Equilibrium engine settings
Users can control ATR length, equilibrium band sensitivity, cloud-thickness contribution, stretch sensitivity, and chop lookback.
Visual settings
Users can control cloud visibility, Kijun visibility, equilibrium band visibility, stretch zones, state labels, label density, and panel appearance.
These inputs allow the script to be tuned for different symbols, volatility conditions, and chart preferences.
Limitations & Transparency
This script is an indicator, not a strategy.
It does not place trades, manage positions, calculate performance, or guarantee outcomes.
The Equilibrium Score is an internal structure summary built from distance, alignment, cloud thickness, Tenkan/Kijun spread, reclaim contribution, and chop penalty. It is not a probability model, not a forecast, and not a standalone decision engine.
Overstretched conditions do not automatically imply reversal.
Reclaim conditions do not automatically imply continuation.
Expansion conditions do not automatically imply strength will persist.
As with any chart tool, interpretation depends on market regime, timeframe, volatility, and the user’s broader workflow. In noisy environments, state changes can occur more frequently. The script includes filters to reduce clutter, but no indicator removes uncertainty completely.
Risk Disclosure
This script is provided for research and chart analysis only.
It is not financial advice. Users should evaluate any signal, state change, or alert within their own process, risk framework, and market context before making decisions.

Hash Auto Fibonacci## Overview
Hash Auto Fibonacci eliminates the most time-consuming part of Fibonacci trading — drawing the levels yourself. Drop it on any chart and it automatically detects the most recent significant swing high and swing low, then instantly draws a complete Fibonacci retracement web anchored to those pivots. No manual drawing, no subjectivity, no missed setups.
Built for active traders who use Fibonacci as a core part of their strategy, this tool is engineered to keep up with fast-moving markets through a volatility-adaptive detection engine, a highlighted Golden Pocket zone, a built-in stop-loss reference, and optional multi-timeframe confirmation.
## Key Features
**Automatic Swing Detection**
The indicator uses a pivot-based algorithm to identify swing highs and lows in real time. A pink dot marks the swing high and a green dot marks the swing low on the chart — always showing only the current active pair, never cluttering your screen with historical markers.
**Dynamic Lookback Engine**
Rather than using a fixed lookback period, Hash Auto Fibonacci automatically adjusts its sensitivity based on current market volatility. During high-volatility conditions (fast trending moves, breakouts), the lookback shortens to detect swings quickly. During low-volatility conditions (consolidation, ranging markets), it lengthens to filter out noise and identify only meaningful pivots. This is calculated using the ratio of a 50-period ATR to a 10-period ATR, scaled by a user-adjustable multiplier. You can also switch to a fixed manual lookback at any time.
**Fibonacci Retracement Levels**
The following retracement levels are drawn automatically:
- 0 (swing high anchor)
- 0.236
- 0.382
- 0.5
- 0.618
- 0.65
- 0.786
- 1.0 (swing low anchor)
Optional extension levels (1.272, 1.618, 2.618) can be enabled for targets beyond the swing low.
**The Golden Pocket Zone**
The 0.618–0.65 confluence zone is highlighted as a gradient-filled amber band directly on the chart. This region — known as the Golden Pocket — is widely regarded as the highest-probability reversal zone within any Fibonacci retracement. The zone enforces an ATR-based minimum thickness so it remains visible even on assets with small absolute price ranges.
**ATR Stop-Loss Reference**
A dashed red line is automatically drawn below the swing low (bullish setup) or above the swing high (bearish setup) at a distance of 2× ATR-10. This gives a data-driven starting point for your stop-loss placement without requiring a separate indicator.
**Multi-Timeframe Confirmation**
When the current chart's swing pivot aligns within 0.5% of a confirmed pivot on a higher timeframe (default: 4H), the entire Fibonacci web is visually upgraded — lines become bolder, a confirmation badge appears, and an alert can be triggered. MTF-confirmed webs represent structurally significant levels that multiple timeframes agree on, which historically carry more weight as support and resistance.
**Direction Detection**
The indicator automatically determines whether the current setup is bullish (retracing upward from a low) or bearish (retracing downward from a high) by comparing which pivot — the high or the low — was confirmed most recently. You can override this manually if needed.
**Info Dashboard**
A clean navy dashboard in the corner of your chart displays:
- Current swing high and swing low prices
- 0.5 and 0.618 Fibonacci levels
- Golden Pocket price range
- Suggested ATR-based stop-loss price
- Active lookback period (and whether it's dynamic or manual)
---
## How To Use
**Basic setup**
Add the indicator to any chart. It works on all timeframes and all assets — crypto, stocks, forex, futures. The Fibonacci web draws automatically. The Golden Pocket zone is the primary area to watch for price reactions.
**Reading the chart**
- Price pulling back into the Golden Pocket (0.618–0.65 zone) in a bullish setup is the classic high-probability long entry zone
- Price rejecting from the Golden Pocket in a bearish setup is a potential short entry or profit-taking zone
- The 0.5 level acts as the midpoint — a close above (bullish) or below (bearish) confirms continuation of the retracement
- The 0.786 level is deep — a sweep past this level often signals the retracement is becoming a full reversal
**Using the stop-loss line**
The dashed red SL line is a reference, not a guaranteed stop placement. Use it as a starting point and adjust to your own risk tolerance. On volatile assets, consider placing your stop slightly beyond it to avoid wicks triggering your exit prematurely.
**Multi-timeframe confirmation**
When the ◆ MTF badge appears, the swing that anchors the current web also exists on the higher timeframe. These setups tend to produce cleaner reactions at Fibonacci levels because they represent areas where both short-term and institutional timeframe participants are watching the same price zone.
**Alerts**
Five alert conditions are available:
- New swing high detected
- New swing low detected
- MTF confirmation active
- Price entering the Golden Pocket
- Price at the 0.382 level
- Price at the 0.786 level
Set these in the Alerts panel to get notified without watching the chart constantly.

Periodic Anchored VWAPPeriodic Anchored VWAP
Overview
The Periodic Anchored VWAP is a professional volume-weighted average price indicator that anchors VWAP calculations to fixed calendar periods. Unlike traditional anchored VWAP tools that require manual point-and-click anchoring, this indicator automatically resets VWAP calculations at predefined interval boundaries (hourly, daily, weekly, monthly), providing a clean, systematic approach to volume-weighted support and resistance analysis.
Key Features
13 Anchor Periods: 1H, 4H, 6H, 12H, 1D, 3D, 1W, 2W, 1M, 2M, 3M, 6M, 12M
Smart Timeframe Filtering: Automatically hides VWAPs when chart timeframe equals or exceeds anchor period
Individual Period Controls: Toggle each VWAP on/off independently with custom colors
Master Toggle: Global show/hide for all VWAP lines
Dynamic Labels: Real-time price labels at the right edge of chart
Compact Settings: Streamlined input panel with inline color pickers
How It Works
The Golden Rule
VWAP is displayed ONLY when: Chart Timeframe < Anchor Period
This ensures VWAP lines always represent meaningful continuous calculations. For example:
1H VWAP appears only on timeframes smaller than 1 hour (e.g., 15min, 5min, 1min)
1D VWAP appears only on timeframes smaller than daily (e.g., 4H, 1H, 15min)
1W VWAP appears only on timeframes smaller than weekly (e.g., daily, 4H, 1H)
Anchor Logic
Each VWAP resets at its respective period boundary:
Intraday Anchors (1H, 4H, 6H, 12H): Reset at the start of each hour/4-hour/6-hour/12-hour period
Daily Anchors (1D, 3D): Reset at daily market open
Weekly Anchors (1W, 2W): Reset at weekly market open
Monthly Anchors (1M, 2M, 3M, 6M, 12M): Reset at month boundaries
Input Settings
Master Control:
VWAP Display Show / Hide Global toggle for all VWAP lines
Intraday Anchors (Default: Off):
1H => Teal => Short-term intraday reference
4H => Pink => Medium-term intraday reference
6H => Magenta => Half-day session reference
12H => Cyan => Full session reference
Anchor VWAP Periods (Default: On):
1D => Yellow/Green => Daily support/resistance
3D => Purple => Multi-day trend reference
1W => Blue => Weekly pivot levels
2W => Light Blue => Bi-weekly trend
1M => Green => Monthly support/resistance
2M => Dark Green => 2-month horizon
3M => Yellow => Quarterly reference
6M => Orange => Semi-annual trend
12M => Red => Annual benchmark
Visual Display
VWAP Lines: Colored lines plotted at 2px thickness for clear visibility:
Right-Edge Labels: Compact labels showing period and current VWAP value
Smart Label Colors: Black or white text automatically based on line color for optimal readability
Use Cases
Intraday Trading:
Use 1H, 4H, 6H, 12H VWAPs on lower timeframes (e.g., 5min, 15min) to identify intraday support/resistance levels
Multiple intraday VWAPs reveal stacked liquidity zones
Swing Trading:
1D, 3D, 1W, 2W VWAPs help identify trend direction and mean reversion levels
Weekly VWAP provides context for daily price action
Position Trading:
1M, 3M, 6M, 12M VWAPs offer long-term benchmarks for valuation assessment
Multiple monthly VWAPs show multi-year price distribution
Multi-Timeframe Analysis:
Visualize up to 13 VWAP levels simultaneously
Identify confluences where multiple VWAP periods align
Observe how price interacts with different anchored levels
Important Notes
Timeframe Limitations: VWAPs automatically hide when the chart timeframe is equal to or greater than the anchor period (prevents misleading point-to-point lines)
Intraday Anchors Disabled by Default: Enable only the periods relevant to your trading style to reduce visual clutter
Monthly Anchors: Use 30-day approximation for minute calculations; display logic ensures they only appear on daily or lower timeframes
Label Positioning: Labels appear 1-13 bars to the right of the current bar to prevent overlap with price action
Performance
Efficiently coded with looped label management
No repainting — all calculations are historical
Compatible with all markets and symbols
Version History
v.1.0 => Initial release with 13 anchor periods, timeframe validation, and dynamic labels

AG Pro Price Acceptance Profile [AGPro Series]AG Pro Price Acceptance Profile
OVERVIEW
AG Pro Price Acceptance Profile is a price-structure tool designed to reveal where the market is spending time, where it is repeatedly returning, and where it is rejecting price efficiently.
Instead of using volume distribution, signal arrows, or breakout-style triggers, this script builds an acceptance/rejection map from price-time interaction inside a rolling lookback window. The goal is simple: make it easier to identify where price is being accepted, where it is being rejected, and whether current price is trading inside balance or at its outer edges.
This is not a volume profile clone, not a support/resistance line generator, and not a momentum signal script. It focuses on one specific question:
Which price areas are currently showing repeated acceptance, and which areas are failing to hold price?
That narrow focus is intentional. The script is built as an analytical context tool rather than an entry engine.
UNIQUE EDGE
The core idea is to measure acceptance through price-time behavior rather than centralized volume data.
The profile logic evaluates how often price revisits a zone, how long it tends to remain there, and how efficiently it exits that zone. This creates a structured map of:
- Acceptance zones
- Rejection zones
- The active balance area
- The current market state relative to that balance
Because the methodology is based on price persistence and revisit behavior, the script can be useful on markets where volume-based profiling is either unavailable, fragmented, or not the preferred analytical lens.
METHODOLOGY
The script divides the rolling price range into rows and evaluates each row using multiple internal dimensions derived from recent bars:
1) Time at price
Measures how frequently the market occupies each row across the selected lookback.
2) Revisit density
Tracks how often price returns to a row after leaving it. Repeated revisits can indicate ongoing acceptance or unfinished balancing behavior.
3) Dwell persistence
Approximates whether the market tends to spend stable time in an area rather than only touching it briefly.
4) Rejection speed
Measures how efficiently price exits an area after interaction. Faster and cleaner exits tend to support rejection classification.
5) Balance mapping
Uses the strongest acceptance region to define the current balance area and then classifies the live market location relative to it.
The result is a simplified profile-style framework built from price behavior itself.
HOW TO READ IT
The large balance area highlights the current acceptance region derived from the profile engine.
Acceptance zones mark price areas that showed stronger persistence, repeated interaction, and better structural acceptance within the chosen lookback.
Rejection zones mark areas where price interacted but failed to remain stable, leading to less durable occupation and faster displacement.
The panel is designed to summarize the current profile state:
- Acceptance Strength: relative quality of the dominant accepted area
- Revisit Density: how actively the market is returning to profiled zones
- Balance Width: width of the accepted region relative to the full profiled range
- Rejection Speed: how efficiently price is leaving unstable areas
- Location: whether current price is inside, above, or below balance
In practice, traders can use the script to distinguish between stable trade location and unstable trade location, instead of treating every nearby level as equally important.
KEY INPUTS
Lookback
Controls how much recent history is used to build the profile.
Rows
Defines profile resolution. Higher values increase granularity but can also make the map more sensitive.
Acceptance Threshold / Rejection Threshold
Adjust how selective the script is when classifying stronger acceptance and rejection areas.
Maximum Acceptance / Rejection Zones
Controls chart density and visual focus.
Panel and label settings
Allow adaptation for different chart layouts and screen sizes.
LIMITATIONS AND TRANSPARENCY
This script does not predict future price movement.
It does not generate guaranteed reversal points.
It does not replace execution logic or risk management.
Acceptance and rejection are contextual measurements derived from the selected lookback and row resolution. Different settings can produce different maps because the profile is adaptive by design.
As with any charting tool based on rolling historical context, zones may evolve when older bars leave the lookback window and new bars enter it.
This script is best used as a contextual framework for market location, not as a standalone trade mandate.

Supply & Demand Zones XLDescription
Supply & Demand Zones XL is a non-repainting supply and demand indicator designed to model market structure with a focus on stability, clarity, and quantitative strength evaluation.
The script identifies supply and demand zones using pivot-based structure and sizes each zone dynamically using ATR, ensuring consistent scaling across different market conditions. Zones are extended forward in real time and maintained as either active or historical depending on user preference.
Each zone is scored using a composite strength model that incorporates volume participation, zone width efficiency, time in market, and touch frequency. The resulting strength rating is normalized to a simple X/10 format and displayed at the end of each zone for immediate readability.
A non-repainting mode ensures that zones are only confirmed after pivot completion, preventing forward-looking bias. An optional volume filter allows users to require above-average participation before a zone is formed.
The script includes logic to prevent redundant structure by disallowing overlapping zones of the same type while the current zone remains valid. Once a zone is broken, new zones are allowed to form, preserving structural continuity.
Zones are considered broken only on confirmed closes beyond their boundaries, not intrabar wicks. Broken zones are downgraded in strength and can be visually differentiated using customizable color controls. Users can independently control coloring for active and historical broken zones, as well as define separate colors for supply, demand, broken supply, and broken demand.
Historical zones can be toggled on or off, with optional strength labels, allowing users to balance context versus chart clarity.
The result is a structured, state-driven supply and demand model that avoids noise, reduces duplication, and provides a consistent framework for evaluating zone quality and market behavior. Indicator
Doji Volume Map (Zeiierman)█ Overview
Doji Volume Map (Zeiierman) is a volume reaction scanner that detects doji-like candles appearing with relatively high and rising volume, then converts those events into projected price levels. When a valid signal forms, the script places a bubble on the candle, extends a horizontal reaction level forward, and optionally merges nearby levels into a highlighted zone box. The result is a clean map of potential reaction areas built from high-interest doji events rather than generic swing highs or lows.
⚪ What It Detects
The script searches for candles that combine 3 conditions at the same time:
Relative high volume: Current volume must exceed the average volume by a user-defined multiplier.
Rising volume: Current volume must be greater than the previous bar’s volume.
Loose doji structure: The candle body must remain small relative to the total range, while the full range must still be meaningful enough relative to ATR.
When those conditions align, the candle is treated as a significant reaction point and plotted as a bubble. From there, the script projects the price level forward and can combine overlapping levels into broader zones.
█ How It Works
For each bar inside the Lookback Length, the script checks whether the candle qualifies as a valid signal.
It measures:
Average volume over the selected Volume Average Length
Relative volume strength using the Relative Volume Multiplier
Whether volume is increasing vs the previous bar
Whether the candle body is small enough to be considered doji-like
Whether the total range is large enough relative to ATR
█ How to Use
When a doji-like candle forms with high and rising volume, it signals strong participation but no clear directional control.
This means:
Heavy trading occurred.
Both sides were active.
Price failed to move decisively.
These areas often become key reaction zones, as the market tends to revisit and respond to where significant transactions took place.
⚪ In Trend
In uptrends , signals on pullbacks can act as support/continuation zones
In downtrends, signals on bounces can act as resistance/rejection zones
Focus on using levels in the direction of the trend, where the dominant side is likely to defend.
⚪ In Ranges
Signals near range lows → potential buy/support zones
Signals near range highs → potential sell/resistance zones
Merged zones are especially useful for identifying rotation areas within the range.
⚪ Key Idea
High volume + indecision = high-interest price area
These zones often lead to:
Reactions
Rejections
Or continuation after confirmation
Use retests and price behavior at these levels to guide entries.
█ Settings
Lookback Length — how many bars back the script scans for qualifying signals.
Volume Average Length — baseline used to measure relative volume.
Relative Volume Multiplier — minimum volume expansion required vs average.
Max Body % of Range — defines how small the candle body must be to count as doji-like.
Min Candle Range as ATR Fraction — filters out candles that are too small to matter.
Key effect:
Higher Relative Volume Multiplier = fewer but stronger signals
Lower Max Body % of Range = stricter doji selection
Higher Min Candle Range as ATR Fraction = fewer weak micro-signals
Merge Close Levels Into Box — combines nearby projected levels into a single zone.
Merge Distance (ATR) — controls how close levels must be to merge.

Objective Market Structure FrameworkThis library provides a systematic, rule-based approach to categorize market movements into four objective phases: Compression, Expansion, Distribution, and Consolidation.
Instead of subjective chart patterns, this tool uses volatility-relative thresholds (ATR) and momentum filters to identify significant trading ranges and structural breaks.
Main Use Cases:
Clear & Compact MTF Visualization: Map higher-timeframe (HTF) market structures directly onto your lower-timeframe (LTF) charts. Provides a clean, non-cluttered overview for an intuitive display of key levels without overcomplicating the chart.
Automated Setup Classification: Assign specific trading setups to distinct market regimes (Uptrends, Corrections, Sideways Ranges). Enables rapid, objective analysis every trading day, eliminating the need for manual re-evaluation or "hunting" for the current trend state.
Core Features:
Volatility-Adaptive: Range calculations scale automatically with the market's current ATR, making the analysis relevant across all asset classes.
MTF-Optimized Performance: Engineered for professional Multi-Timeframe workflows. Fetch 19 structural variables with a single request.security() call to minimize script load and prevent memory errors.
Momentum Validation: Distinguishes between high-conviction structural breaks and low-momentum "noise" using body-to-ATR ratios.
Reliability & Stability: Built-in Guard-Clauses protect against "Bar 0" and "NA" runtime errors, even when requesting lower timeframe data from a higher timeframe chart.
Key Parameters (Customizable Defaults):
Distribution Threshold (e.g. 1.2): Identifies price movement beyond the established range to confirm trend strength.
Compression (e.g. 1.5x ATR): Detects low-volatility buildup phases.
Expansion (e.g. 4.0x ATR): Flags explosive "Huge Range" impulses.
How to use (Educational Example included):
The source code contains a fully functional MTF Dashboard example (commented out at the bottom). It demonstrates how to map the library’s output variables into a visual trading interface, showing HTF trend alignment and real-time market phases.

Price Memory Heatmap [BullByte]Price Memory Heatmap - Dynamic Support & Resistance Through Market Memory
Price Memory Heatmap visualizes where markets remember. It identifies price levels where repeated reactions have occurred, measures their intensity through a proprietary heat system, and displays them as dynamic zones that strengthen with each new reaction and naturally fade when the market moves on.
This is not a combination of existing indicators. It is a unified analytical framework built around one original concept: price levels accumulate heat from confirmed reactions and lose heat through exponential decay when untouched. The result is a self-organizing, self-cleaning map of historically significant price zones that evolves with every bar.
---
WHAT THIS INDICATOR DOES
Price Memory Heatmap tracks price levels where significant market reactions have occurred. Each level is treated as a living entity with memory:
→ Gains heat when price reacts at it (confirmed pivots and wick rejections)
→ Loses heat over time when untouched (exponential decay)
→ Displays visual intensity proportional to accumulated reaction history
→ Gets removed automatically when its heat falls below a minimum threshold
→ Classifies real-time price behavior at each zone (Rejection, Sweep, Break, Retest, Absorption)
The indicator tracks up to 20 memory levels simultaneously and displays only the most significant ones based on heat intensity and reaction count. Zones are color-coded from cool (low activity) to hot (high activity), giving instant visual hierarchy of level importance.
Key outputs:
→ Heat-mapped zones showing historical reaction intensity
→ Classification labels (Developing, Active, Strong, Dominant)
→ Hit count showing total confirmed reactions at each level
→ Relative volume multiplier showing conviction behind reactions
→ Level age tracking (Fresh, Seasoned, Veteran)
→ Real-time behavior detection integrated into zone labels
→ Summary dashboard ranking all active levels by heat
---
WHY THIS INDICATOR EXISTS
Traditional support and resistance tools draw static lines. They cannot tell you whether a level was tested once or ten times, whether reactions were backed by strong volume or weak, whether the level was formed yesterday or months ago, or how price is currently interacting with that level.
Price Memory Heatmap addresses each of these gaps through a single cohesive system:
PROBLEM: "Is this level significant?"
→ SOLUTION: Heat intensity and classification tier tell you immediately. A Dominant zone with 8 hits is far more significant than a Developing zone with 2 hits.
PROBLEM: "Was there conviction behind reactions at this level?"
→ SOLUTION: Relative volume multiplier shows whether reactions attracted above-average volume (e.g., 2.3x means 2.3 times the average bar volume).
PROBLEM: "Is this level still relevant?"
→ SOLUTION: Exponential decay naturally fades untouched levels. If the market has forgotten a level, the indicator forgets it too.
PROBLEM: "How is price interacting with this level right now?"
→ SOLUTION: Real-time behavior detection classifies the current interaction as Rejection, Sweep, Break, Retest, or Absorption.
PROBLEM: "How old is this level?"
→ SOLUTION: Age tracking categorizes each level as Fresh (recently formed), Seasoned (survived multiple decay cycles), or Veteran (persistent structural significance).
---
HOW PRICE MEMORY WORKS
The lifecycle of a memory level:
BIRTH - A confirmed pivot swing (high or low) creates a new memory level, or merges into a nearby existing level if one exists within the merge distance.
REINFORCEMENT - Each subsequent reaction at the level adds heat. Reactions with above-average volume add proportionally more heat. The level's price adjusts as a weighted average of all reactions.
DECAY - Every bar without a reaction, the level's heat is multiplied by the decay rate (default 0.992). This creates a natural half-life where untouched levels gradually lose prominence.
DEATH - When heat falls below the death threshold (default 0.08), the level is permanently removed. This keeps the chart clean and focused on relevant levels.
The heat value drives everything:
→ Zone color intensity (hotter = more prominent visual)
→ Classification tier (Dominant, Strong, Active, Developing)
→ Dashboard ranking (sorted by heat, hottest first)
→ Glow effect intensity (stronger glow on high-heat zones near price)
Additionally, wick rejections are detected as secondary reaction sources. When a candle wicks into an existing level and rejects (closes away), it adds heat at half the rate of a confirmed pivot, preventing over-weighting of intrabar noise while still capturing meaningful reactions.
---
WHY THIS IS NOT A MASHUP
This indicator uses pivot detection, ATR, and volume data internally, but it does not combine or display existing indicators. The distinction is fundamental:
A mashup displays independent indicators together on one chart.
This indicator uses standard calculations as INPUT MECHANISMS feeding a completely original processing engine whose output cannot be replicated by any combination of existing tools.
→ Pivots = Detection mechanism only (identifies where reactions occur)
→ ATR = Scaling parameter only (normalizes distances across any asset)
→ Volume = Weighting modifier only (amplifies high-conviction reactions)
→ Heat Accumulation + Decay = ORIGINAL (no existing indicator does this)
→ Dynamic Level Lifecycle = ORIGINAL (birth, reinforce, decay, death)
→ Behavior Detection at Levels = ORIGINAL (classifies interaction patterns)
No component is displayed independently. Everything feeds the central price memory concept.

HOW TO READ THE ZONES
ZONE COLORS (Dark Theme - default):
→ Purple/Blue tones = Low heat, Developing level (fewer reactions)
→ Red tones = Medium heat, Active or Strong level
→ Orange/Yellow/Gold tones = High heat, Dominant level (many confirmed reactions)
ZONE COLORS (Light Theme):
→ Gray/Steel tones = Low heat
→ Red/Dark Red tones = Medium to high heat
ZONE COLORS (Classic S/R Theme):
→ Green = Level currently acting as support (price above the zone)
→ Red = Level currently acting as resistance (price below the zone)
ZONE THICKNESS:
Zones expand slightly as heat increases and pulse larger when price approaches (proximity effect). The glow effect adds a soft outer halo that intensifies on high-heat levels near current price, providing immediate visual emphasis on the most important nearby zones.
ZONE LIFESPAN:
Each zone extends from its birth bar to a configurable number of bars into the future (default 15). This visual extension is purely for display - it helps identify where zones project ahead of price. Older zones with maintained heat indicate structural levels where the market has shown persistent memory.
---
HOW TO READ THE LABELS
Each visible zone displays a label with key information. The label format depends on the selected Label Mode. When behavior is detected, it is appended to the end of the label.
MINIMAL MODE EXAMPLE:
"STR 5 2.3x SEA REJ↑"
→ STR = Classification (Strong)
→ 5 = Hit count (5 confirmed reactions)
→ 2.3x = Relative volume (2.3 times average per reaction)
→ SEA = Age (Seasoned - 50 to 200 bars old)
→ REJ↑ = Current behavior (Bullish Rejection detected)
STANDARD MODE EXAMPLE:
"Strong | 5 hits | 2.3x | SEA | Rejection ↑"
→ Full classification name
→ Hit count with label
→ Relative volume multiplier
→ Age abbreviation
→ Full behavior name with direction
DETAILED MODE EXAMPLE:
"Strong | Resistance | 5 | 2.3x | 1.2345 | Seasoned | Sweep ↓"
→ Classification
→ Current support/resistance status
→ Hit count
→ Relative volume
→ Exact price
→ Full age name
→ Full behavior name
LARGE MODE:
Same information as Standard but rendered in larger text for visibility.
When no behavior is currently detected, the behavior portion is simply omitted from the label.
CLASSIFICATION TIERS:
→ Developing = Heat below 40% of max OR fewer than 3 hits
→ Active = Heat above 40% AND 3 or more hits
→ Strong = Heat above 60% AND 4 or more hits
→ Dominant = Heat above 80% AND 5 or more hits
AGE CATEGORIES:
→ Fresh (NEW) = Less than 50 bars since first detection
→ Seasoned (SEA) = Between 50 and 200 bars old
→ Veteran (VET) = More than 200 bars old
A Veteran level with high heat indicates deep structural significance - a price where the market has reacted repeatedly over an extended period and continues to hold relevance.
RELATIVE VOLUME EXPLAINED:
The volume shown is NOT raw volume. It is a normalized multiplier showing how much volume reactions attracted compared to the average bar:
→ 1.0x = Average volume at reactions
→ 2.0x or higher = Above-average conviction behind reactions
→ Below 0.5x = Below-average conviction
→ "-" = Volume data unavailable for this asset
Volume is calculated using attributed notional value: only the fraction of bar volume proportional to the zone width is counted, preventing large-range bars from inflating readings.
---
HOW TO READ THE DASHBOARD
The dashboard provides a ranked summary of all active memory levels. It appears as a table overlay on the chart (position configurable).
COLUMN-BY-COLUMN:
# → Rank by heat intensity. An asterisk (*) marks the highest-heat level. Numbers rank the rest.
PRICE → The exact price of the memory level, formatted to the asset's tick precision. This is the weighted-average price across all reactions at this level.
CLASS → Classification tier (Developing, Active, Strong, Dominant). In Classic S/R theme, a suffix "S" (Support) or "R" (Resistance) is appended based on whether price is above or below the level.
HEAT → Visual heat bar using 8 segments.
→ "||||||||" = Maximum heat (hottest level)
→ "||||...." = Moderate heat
→ "|......." = Low heat (may decay out soon)
HITS → Total number of confirmed reactions at this level. This includes both pivot-confirmed reactions and qualified wick rejections.
RVOL → Relative volume multiplier averaged across all reactions at this level. Higher values indicate stronger volume conviction behind the reactions that built this level.
STATUS → A dynamic field showing one of three things:
→ Behavior pattern name if currently detected (e.g., "REJ↑", "SWP↓", "BRK↑")
→ "At level" if price is within 0.15% of the zone (highlighted in green)
→ Distance as percentage if price is away (e.g., "1.25% above")
AGE → How long the level has existed (NEW, SEA, VET).
FOOTER → Shows total memory levels being tracked, how many are currently visible, and the current decay rate setting.
---
BEHAVIOR DETECTION
When price approaches a memory zone, the indicator analyzes real-time price action to classify how the market is interacting with that level. The detected behavior is displayed as part of the zone label and in the dashboard STATUS column.
Behaviors are checked in priority order. Only the highest-priority match is displayed.
BREAK (Highest Priority):
→ Price opens on one side of the zone and closes decisively on the other
→ Requires strong body (more than 50% of candle range)
→ Close direction must match candle direction (bullish close for Break ↑)
→ Indicates the level has failed and may flip from support to resistance or vice versa
→ Once a Break is detected, the level is marked internally so future Retest detection becomes possible
SWEEP:
→ Price extends significantly beyond the zone (1.5x zone height past the edge) then reverses
→ The extended wick must be larger than the body and more than 35% of total range
→ Close must be back near or inside the zone
→ This pattern often represents a liquidity grab - price pushes through to trigger stops then reverses
REJECTION:
→ A prominent wick touches or enters the zone, and the body closes away
→ Wick must exceed 45% of the candle's total range
→ Body must have meaningful size (more than 25% of range) confirming conviction
→ Indicates the level is actively defending - buyers or sellers are stepping in
RETEST:
→ Price returns to a level that was previously broken
→ Requires all lookback bars to have been on one side (away from zone)
→ Current bar must touch the zone
→ This is the classic "support becomes resistance" or "resistance becomes support" confirmation
ABSORPTION (Lowest Priority):
→ Multiple consecutive bars with bodies inside the zone
→ Average body size is small relative to average range (less than 45%)
→ Indicates accumulation or distribution is occurring within the zone
→ Often precedes significant directional moves
Behaviors persist in the label until a new behavior is detected. When price moves away from the zone, the last detected behavior remains visible, giving context about the most recent significant interaction.

PRACTICAL EXAMPLES
EXAMPLE 1 - IDENTIFYING HIGH-PROBABILITY REACTION ZONES:
A Dominant-classified zone (gold/yellow) showing 7 or more hits with Veteran age tells you this is a deeply embedded structural level. The market has reacted here many times over hundreds of bars and the level continues to maintain high heat. When price approaches this zone, the probability of a meaningful reaction is elevated compared to a Developing zone with 2 hits.
EXAMPLE 2 - CONFIRMING A BREAKOUT:
Price approaches a Strong resistance zone. The label updates to show "Break ↑" as price closes decisively above. The dashboard STATUS column changes from "0.5% below" to "BRK↑". If price later returns to this zone and the label shows "Retest ↑", this confirms the classic resistance-to-support flip pattern. The zone's wasBroken flag ensures Retest detection only activates after a confirmed Break.
EXAMPLE 3 - SPOTTING LIQUIDITY SWEEPS:
A high-heat zone sits above price. Price spikes through the zone with a long upper wick but closes back inside or below. The label displays "Sweep ↓" indicating a potential stop-hunt pattern. The wick exceeded 1.5 times the zone height beyond its edge and the upper wick dominated the candle's body - both requirements for Sweep classification.
EXAMPLE 4 - READING VOLUME CONVICTION:
Two zones appear near current price. Zone A shows "2.8x" relative volume while Zone B shows "0.6x". The reactions that built Zone A attracted nearly 3 times the average bar volume, suggesting strong institutional interest. Zone B's reactions occurred on below-average volume, suggesting less conviction. This context helps prioritize which zone is more likely to produce a meaningful reaction.
EXAMPLE 5 - USING LEVEL AGE FOR CONTEXT:
A Veteran level (more than 200 bars old) that still maintains high heat has survived hundreds of decay cycles. Each cycle multiplies its heat by 0.992 (default). After 200 bars of decay without any new reactions, heat would fall to roughly 20% of its peak. For a Veteran level to remain Dominant, it must have received consistent reinforcement over time - indicating genuine structural significance rather than a one-time event.
---
Chart Example
1. Price on the S&P 500 E-mini Futures 15-minute chart is consolidating within a tight range between two heavily-tested Veteran zones, with the gold Dominant level acting as a persistent floor and an orange 22-hit Veteran zone overhead cycling through live behaviors as price repeatedly tests it from below. A structured ladder of purple Developing and red Active zones extends well below current price, with a Retest ↓ pattern visible at a mid-range level indicating a previously broken area is now being revisited from above. The dashboard confirms 17 memory levels tracked with 8 visible, the top-ranked Dominant zone holding a full heat bar and Break ↑ in its STATUS column throughout the session.
2. Price on the Nifty 50 Index 5-minute chart surged strongly through a cluster of high-heat gold zones during the session, reaching a peak at a thin Developing resistance level before pulling back sharply into a contested area between a Dominant zone and a Strong zone sitting just below it. The upper region shows two gold/yellow zones in close proximity - a Dominant and a Strong, both with Sweep behaviors active in their labels, indicating a liquidity grab above followed by a sharp reversal back into the zone cluster. The dashboard shows two Dominant-classified levels in the top two ranks, with a rich mix of Veteran and Seasoned ages confirming this price area carries deep structural memory.

---
ALERTS
Three alert conditions are available:
"Price entered hot zone" - Triggers when price enters a high-heat zone with 3 or more hits and heat above 50% of maximum. Useful for monitoring approaches to significant levels.
"New behavior detected" - Triggers when a new behavior pattern (Rejection, Sweep, Break, Retest, Absorption) is classified at any visible level. Useful for real-time event notification.
"New reaction" - Triggers when a new pivot is confirmed. Useful for tracking all reaction events across all levels.
All alerts describe observed events. They do not predict future price movement or generate buy/sell signals.
---
IMPORTANT NOTES
RETROACTIVE ANCHORING:
Pivot-based levels are confirmed after the Pivot Sensitivity number of bars have passed. The level is drawn at the true swing bar but only becomes known after confirmation. This is standard pivot behavior used across all pivot-based indicators and does not constitute future data usage.
VOLUME DATA AVAILABILITY:
Some assets, particularly certain forex pairs, may not report volume data. When volume is unavailable, relative volume displays show "-" and volume weighting is automatically disabled. The indicator functions fully without volume data.
EARLY CHART BEHAVIOR:
Zones and behavior labels may be sparse early in chart history. The indicator needs sufficient bars to detect pivots, accumulate heat, and meet the minimum hit count. Allow at least 100 bars for the system to populate meaningfully.
PERFORMANCE:
Reaction dots (when enabled) are only rendered within the most recent 500 bars to maintain chart performance. All memory calculations remain unaffected regardless of dot visibility.

BullByte Indicator
Volume Defense Zones [MarkitTick]💡 The Volume Defense Zones is a professional-grade liquidity analysis engine designed to identify institutional interest by isolating ultra-high volume transactions and mapping them as dynamic support and resistance zones. Unlike standard volume indicators that merely plot vertical bars, this script utilizes a sophisticated heatmap engine and a multi-timeframe (MTF) overlay to provide a three-dimensional view of market participation. By calculating the Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) specifically for high-intensity bars, the indicator creates "Defense Zones"—price levels where large-scale players have historically committed significant capital.
● ✨ Originality and Utility
This indicator distinguishes itself from the vast library of open-source tools through its unique "Search Depth" logic and automated zone merging capabilities. While many scripts identify volume spikes, they often clutter the chart with overlapping lines that lose relevance over time. This system solves that problem by:
• Dynamic Zone Consolidation
The script includes a proprietary merge threshold algorithm. If two high-volume defense levels are within a user-defined percentage of each other, the script automatically merges them into a single "Defense Box." This reflects the reality of market "zones" rather than surgical price points.
• Multi-Timeframe Institutional Benchmarking
By integrating a built-in MTF overlay, traders can visualize 4-hour or Daily volume defense zones while trading on a 5-minute chart. This ensures that the user is always aware of the "Big Picture" liquidity levels that are likely to hold during intraday volatility.
• Historical Ghosting and Breakout Analysis
The script tracks whether a zone is "active" or "broken." When price breaches a defense level, the zone doesn't simply disappear; it transforms into a "Ghost Zone" (dotted line), allowing traders to analyze S/R flips and historical retests of previously defended levels.
● 🔬 Methodology and Concepts
The core logic of the Volume Defense Zones is rooted in the identification of "Abnormal Volume" relative to a historical lookback period.
• Peak Volume Identification
The script maintains a rolling window of volume data defined by the "Comparison Length" input. A bar is classified as "Ultra High Volume" only if its volume exceeds the maximum volume recorded in that lookback window. This ensures that the signals adapt to changing market regimes (e.g., high-volatility sessions vs. low-volume holidays).
• The Defense Calculation
For every identified volume peak, the script calculates a localized VWAP using the internal formula:
Accumulated (Volume * Bar Body Center) / Total Volume.
This price level represents the "Average Cost Basis" of the participants during that specific high-intensity event. If the price remains above this VWAP, the level is treated as a Bullish Defense (Support). If price stays below it, it is a Bearish Defense (Resistance).
• Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Security
Using the request.security function with barmerge.lookahead_on (and appropriate offsets to prevent repainting), the script fetches high-volume levels from higher timeframes. This provides a top-down liquidity map that identifies where large institutions are "defending" their positions.
● 🎨 Visual Guide
The visual output is divided into three primary categories to ensure maximum clarity and actionable data visualization:
• The Volume Heatmap (Bottom Pane)
Instead of standard green and red bars, this script uses a professional 5-color heatmap gradient:
- Deep Blue (HM_C0): Low interest / baseline volume.
- Teal/Cyan (HM_C1/HM_C2): Rising interest.
- Gold (HM_C3): High participation.
- Bright Red (HM_C4): Ultra-High Volume.
These bars are framed with thicker borders when a new peak is detected, making the "Ultra Vol" events immediately visible.
• Defense Zones and Labels
- Green Boxes (ZONE_BULL_COL): Represent active bullish defense zones where buyers are currently in control of the high-volume level.
- Red Boxes (ZONE_BEAR_COL): Represent active bearish defense zones where sellers are successfully defending the level.
- Blue/Neutral Boxes (ZONE_INSIDE_COL): Represent zones where the price is currently trading inside the defense range, indicating a period of consolidation or "battle."
- Dotted Lines/Boxes: These are "Broken" or "Ghost" zones. They indicate levels that were previously significant but have been breached.
• Trend Climax Indicators
The script plots specific triangles on the volume bars:
- Green Up Triangle (▲): Bullish Climax. Occurs when price is trending down but a high-volume reversal is detected above the VWAP.
- Red Down Triangle (▼): Bearish Climax. Occurs when price is trending up but a high-volume rejection is detected below the VWAP.
• Professional Dashboard
A clean table in the top-right corner displays real-time statistics, including Total Volume, Max Volume, Average Volume, and the total count of analyzed bars.
● 📖 How to Use
Identifying Institutional Support: Look for thick green boxes formed during "Ultra High Vol" events. These are areas where price is likely to bounce upon a retest.
Trading the Breakout: When a red resistance zone is breached and turns into a dotted "Ghost" zone, wait for a retest of that level. If price holds above it, the old resistance has become new support.
Filtering with MTF: Only take long trades when the price is above the Purple MTF lines, which represent the higher-timeframe institutional defense levels.
Exhaustion Signals: Use the Climax Triangles (▲/▼) to identify potential trend reversals. A red triangle at the end of a long uptrend often signals that "smart money" is distributing their positions.
● ⚙️ Inputs and Settings
• Volume Settings
- Time Resolution: Allows you to change the granularity of the volume analysis.
- Comparison Length: Defines the lookback period (default 20) for determining what constitutes a "Peak" volume bar.
• Visual & Analysis
- Search Depth (Levels): Controls how many historical S/R zones are displayed on the chart. Increasing this provides more historical context but may clutter the view.
- Merge Threshold (%): A critical setting that defines how close two price levels must be to be grouped into a single zone.
- Show All Data Labels: Toggles the display of exact volume figures above the bars.
• Multi-Timeframe Overlay
- HTF Timeframe: Set the higher timeframe (e.g., 240 for 4-hour) to see macro defense zones.
- Max HTF Zones: Limits the number of MTF lines drawn to keep the chart clean.
● 🔍 Deconstruction of the Underlying Scientific and Academic Framework
The indicator is constructed upon the principles of **Auction Market Theory (AMT)** and **Volume Spread Analysis (VSA)**.
• Auction Market Theory
The fundamental premise is that the market is an ongoing auction where the purpose of price is to find the area where the most volume can be transacted. The "Defense Zones" calculated by this script represent "High Volume Nodes" (HVN). Scientifically, these are levels of high price acceptance. When price moves away from these zones and returns, the script tests whether the "Value" has shifted or if the previous participants are still willing to transact at that level.
• Statistical Outlier Theory
The "Ultra High Volume" detection utilizes a non-parametric approach to identify outliers. By comparing the current volume to the rolling maximum of the previous $N$ periods, the script effectively identifies events that fall outside the standard distribution of market activity. This is mathematically equivalent to identifying "Z-score" spikes in volume, signifying a significant shift in market sentiment or the injection of institutional liquidity.
• Volume Weighted Cost Basis (VWCB)
The use of VWAP within the defense zones is based on the academic concept of the "Volume Weighted Cost Basis." In institutional finance, the execution quality of a large trade is measured against the VWAP. Therefore, these levels act as psychological and financial "anchors" for large participants who need to protect their average entry price to maintain a profitable position.

Support Band of TrendSupport Band of Trend
by MasterTony
**Support Band with Dynamic Ichimoku Boundaries**
This indicator combines three layered tools into a single clean overlay: a trend-adaptive support/resistance band using golden moving averages, dynamic Ichimoku Tenkan/Kijun boundaries, and price pivot S/R levels. Together they define a structured zone where price is expected to find support in bull trends and resistance in bear trends.
---
**How It's Calculated**
**Trend Direction (ADX + 200 SMA)**
The indicator continuously reads market direction using two inputs. The DMI system compares DI+ against DI− to determine which side has directional dominance. The 200-period SMA acts as a tiebreaker when DI+ and DI− are equal. There is no neutral state — the indicator always commits to bull or bear based on whichever side is dominant at that moment.
**Inner Support Band (SMA 20 / EMA 21)**
The core of the indicator is a filled zone between the 20-period Simple Moving Average and the 21-period Exponential Moving Average. Because the SMA and EMA are nearly identical in length but calculated differently, the fill between them defines a tight dynamic zone that price frequently interacts with. In a bull trend the band is green, acting as a floor. In a bear trend it turns red, acting as a ceiling.
**Outer Boundary (Tenkan-Sen / Kijun-Sen Band)**
Wrapping the inner band is a filled zone between the Tenkan-Sen and Kijun-Sen, ported from a full adaptive Ichimoku engine. Both lines use dynamic lengths driven by a volume oscillator (OBV), ATR volatility, and a Chikou trend filter. When conditions are bullish the lengths compress toward their minimums (9 and 20), making the lines react faster. When conditions are bearish the lengths expand toward their maximums (30 and 60), making them slower and more resistant. The Tenkan and Kijun lines themselves are colored teal when Tenkan is above Kijun and purple when below. The filled zone between them matches the overall bull/bear color of the indicator.
**Price Pivot S/R Lines**
The indicator identifies the last three swing highs and swing lows using a 5-bar left/5-bar right pivot calculation. Each level is drawn as a horizontal dashed line extended to the right — red for resistance, green for support. These are static reference points showing where price has previously reversed.
**200 SMA**
Plotted as a light blue reference line. Used internally for trend bias and visually as the macro trend anchor.
---
**How to Read It**
The indicator is designed to be read as a layered zone, not a single line.
When the bands are **green**, the entire filled area from the outer TK boundary down to the inner SMA/EMA band is a **support zone**. Price pulling back into this zone during an uptrend is expected behavior. The tighter the band compression, the stronger the trend.
When the bands are **red**, the same zone becomes **resistance**. Price rallying back up into it during a downtrend is a selling opportunity. A failure to break above the zone confirms bearish continuation.
The **Tenkan/Kijun color** gives you a secondary read. Teal means the fast line is above the slow line — momentum is bullish within the Ichimoku framework. Purple means the fast line has crossed below — momentum has shifted bearish. When the band color and the TK color agree, the signal is stronger.
The **pivot S/R lines** give you price memory. A green pivot level sitting just below the band in a bull trend creates a confluence support cluster. A red pivot level just above the band in a bear trend creates a confluence resistance cluster.
---
**How to Trade With It**
**Bull Trend Pullback Entry**
Wait for the band to be green. Let price pull back into the inner SMA/EMA band or the wider TK zone. Look for a candle reversal or momentum shift back upward while inside the zone. Enter long with a stop below the outer TK boundary. The nearest green pivot S/R line below acts as your invalidation level.
**Bear Trend Rally Entry**
Wait for the band to be red. Let price rally back up into the inner band or TK zone. Look for rejection or a momentum shift downward while inside the zone. Enter short with a stop above the outer TK boundary. The nearest red pivot S/R line above acts as your invalidation level.
**Trend Change Warning**
When the band flips from green to red or red to green, it signals a shift in directional dominance. This is not an immediate entry signal — it is a warning to stop trading in the previous direction and wait for the new color to confirm with a pullback setup.
**Confluence Filter**
The highest probability setups occur when all three layers agree: the band color matches the trade direction, the Tenkan is above Kijun (for longs) or below (for shorts), and a pivot S/R level is nearby providing additional structure.

[ A L P H A X ] Edge - Support/Resistance | Breakout EntryAlphaX Edge — Support/Resistance × Breakout × Trend Confluence | Multi-Factor Confidence Scoring, Smart S/R Zones & Squeeze Detection
AlphaX Edge is a professional multi-confluence trading system that combines six independent analytical layers into a single unified signal engine. Rather than relying on any single indicator, it requires agreement across Support/Resistance structure, trend direction, momentum, volume, ADX strength, and squeeze dynamics before generating a signal — producing fewer, higher-quality setups and filtering out the noise that plagues single-indicator systems. Designed for intraday and swing traders across all instruments and timeframes.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📸 Visual Overview
The chart displays color-coded S/R zones, breakout and retest labels, trend structure labels, EMA ribbons, RSI divergence diamonds, and triangle entry signals — all governed by a real-time dashboard showing every active market condition at a glance.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🔬 The Six Analytical Layers
1 — Smart Support & Resistance Zones
AlphaX Edge automatically detects, merges, and manages S/R zones using pivot-based swing detection. Each zone is:
Built from confirmed swing highs and lows using a configurable swing length
Merged automatically when two levels fall within a user-defined ATR multiplier — preventing zone clutter
Color-coded by role: yellow-green for confirmed support, red for confirmed resistance, gray for untested levels
Aged out after a configurable number of bars to keep the chart clean and relevant
Upgraded from neutral to confirmed only after a minimum number of touches — preventing weak levels from triggering signals
When price approaches a confirmed zone from above, the zone acts as resistance. When approached from below, it acts as support. Broken zones flip polarity — a broken resistance becomes support and vice versa — and are tracked for retest opportunities.
2 — Breakout Detection with Anti-Fake Filter
A breakout is confirmed only when all of the following conditions are met simultaneously:
The candle body closes convincingly beyond the zone boundary (not just a wick poke)
The candle body represents at least 40% of the total candle range — no doji or indecision candles
Volume confirms participation (configurable: require spike or simply above-average volume)
A cooldown timer prevents repeated breakout labels during choppy back-and-forth action
RSI is not at an extreme overbought/oversold level — unless ADX confirms the trend is genuinely strong (preventing exhaustion breakout entries)
3 — Trend Structure Analysis
AlphaX Edge tracks market structure using higher swing pivots — independently from the S/R zone engine. It identifies:
Higher Highs + Higher Lows → confirmed uptrend structure
Lower Highs + Lower Lows → confirmed downtrend structure
Trend line drawn automatically connecting the most recent pivot lows (uptrend) or pivot highs (downtrend)
UPTREND ▲ and DOWNTREND ▼ labels fire when structure shifts — with a configurable cooldown to prevent label spam
4 — EMA Trend Ribbon
Three EMAs provide structural context at all times:
Fast EMA (21) — yellow-green cross marks — immediate momentum direction
Medium EMA (50) — gray line — intermediate trend filter
Slow EMA (200) — dark gray thick line — macro structural backbone
When all three are fanned in sequence (Fast > Medium > Slow for bull, reverse for bear), the trend is healthy and signals carry higher weight in the confluence engine. When they converge and flatten, the market is ranging — a visual warning to stand aside.
5 — Momentum Engine (RSI + MACD + Stochastic)
Three oscillators run simultaneously and vote on momentum direction:
RSI slope direction with smoothing — avoids single-bar noise
MACD line vs signal cross and histogram direction
Stochastic K vs D with overbought/oversold zone filtering
A minimum of two out of three must agree before momentum is considered bullish or bearish. This voting approach prevents a single oscillator spike from generating false signals.
6 — Bollinger Squeeze Detection
The squeeze engine monitors when Bollinger Bands contract inside Keltner Channels — indicating coiled volatility about to expand. When the squeeze fires (bands break outside the channels), directional momentum is assessed to determine which way the expansion is likely to break. Squeeze entries carry bonus weight in the confluence scoring system.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🧠 Confluence Scoring & Confidence System
Every signal is evaluated across 10 independent factors , each contributing one point to the confluence score. Only signals meeting your configured minimum score threshold are displayed.
The 10 factors per direction:
✓ SUP — Price is at a confirmed support zone (bull) or resistance zone (bear)
✓ BRK — A valid breakout has just occurred in the signal direction
✓ RET — A confirmed post-breakout retest is occurring
✓ TRD — Trend structure (HH+HL or LH+LL) aligns with signal direction
✓ MOM — At least 2 of 3 momentum oscillators confirm direction
✓ PAT — A candlestick pattern is present (engulfing, pin bar, or RSI divergence)
✓ VOL — Volume is above average and candle closes in the signal direction
✓ EMA — EMA ribbon is aligned or price is on the correct side of the 200 EMA
✓ ADX — ADX confirms a trending market with directional dominance
✓ SQZ — Squeeze has fired or is expanding in the signal direction
Alongside the 10-point score, a confidence percentage (0–100%) is calculated using a weighted system that gives higher importance to structural factors (retest = 20 pts, breakout = 16 pts, support/resistance = 14 pts) and applies heavy penalties for counter-trend signals, overbought/oversold exhaustion, no-trend conditions, overextension from EMAs, and low volume. The resulting grade ranges from D to A+.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📊 Signal Types — Complete Entry Guide
AlphaX Edge produces four distinct signal types. Below is a ranked guide to how each should be traded, from highest to lowest quality.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🥇 RANK 1 — Breakout + Volume Spike Confirmation (Highest Quality)
What it looks like: A BREAKOUT ▲ or BREAKOUT ▼ label appears, and within 1–2 candles a volume spike dot (●) appears in the same direction. The confluence triangle signal fires.
Why it's the strongest: The volume spike occurring immediately after or alongside the breakout label confirms that institutional participation is behind the move. A breakout without volume is frequently a trap — a breakout with a volume spike right after is significantly more likely to follow through.
How to enter:
Wait for the breakout label to appear AND see the volume spike dot on the same or next 1–2 candles
Enter at market on the close of the volume spike candle, or on a small pullback into the broken level
Stop loss: just below the broken resistance (for longs) or just above the broken support (for shorts) — beyond the zone boundary
Target: next S/R zone visible on the chart, or a 1.5–2x ATR minimum
⚠ If BREAKOUT ▲/▼ shows "⚠ STRETCHED": This means price is already significantly extended from the EMA ribbon at the moment of the breakout. A volume spike dot within 1–2 candles still validates the move — but be aware that a pullback to the EMAs is likely before continuation. In this case, reduce position size or wait for the retest instead of chasing the initial breakout.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🥈 RANK 2 — Retest Entry (High Quality, Lower Risk)
What it looks like: After a BREAKOUT label fires, price pulls back to the broken level within the retest window. A RETEST ▲ or RETEST ▼ label appears, and the confluence triangle signal fires.
Why it's strong: The retest is the classic institutional entry — the breakout already proved the level was breakable, and the pullback offers an optimal risk/reward entry with a nearby and well-defined stop.
How to enter:
Wait for the RETEST label — do not anticipate it. Price must close back in the broken zone's range and show a reversal candle (engulfing or pin bar adds confidence)
Enter on the close of the confirming candle at the retest zone
Stop loss: a close back below the retest zone (not a wick — a full candle body close on the wrong side)
Target: the breakout high/low target or the next S/R zone
Highest conviction retest setup: RETEST label + confluence triangle + volume above average + RSI not at extreme = A or A+ grade signal. These are the setups to size up on.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🥉 RANK 3 — Trend Confluence Signal at S/R (Medium-High Quality)
What it looks like: Price reaches a confirmed support or resistance zone while the trend structure, EMA alignment, momentum, and ADX all agree. The confluence triangle fires without a preceding breakout — price is bouncing from the zone within an established trend.
Why it works: This is the classic trend continuation pullback entry — price returns to a key level inside an ongoing trend, and multiple independent factors confirm the bounce has begun.
How to enter:
The UPTREND ▲ or DOWNTREND ▼ label must have already appeared — do not take confluence signals at S/R during a ranging market (no active trend label = lower confidence)
Wait for a confirming candle at the zone — a bullish engulfing, pin bar, or strong close in the trend direction adds significant weight
Enter on the close of the confirming candle
Stop loss: beyond the S/R zone boundary plus one ATR buffer
Target: the prior swing high/low, next resistance zone, or 2x ATR
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
4 — Trend Structure Label Entry (Use With Additional Confirmation)
What it looks like: An UPTREND ▲ or DOWNTREND ▼ label appears, marking a confirmed shift in market structure (a new Higher High + Higher Low, or Lower High + Lower Low).
Important — do not enter directly on the label: The trend label confirms that structure has already shifted — it is not an entry signal by itself. Price has typically already moved significantly by the time the label fires, and entering immediately carries the risk of chasing an extended move.
How to use the trend label:
Treat it as a directional bias reset — from this point forward, only look for long setups (after UPTREND ▲) or short setups (after DOWNTREND ▼)
Wait for the first confluence triangle signal that appears after the trend label — this is your primary entry in the new trend direction
Alternatively, wait for price to pull back to the nearest S/R zone or EMA and generate a confluence signal there
The closer the first post-label triangle is to an S/R zone and the 21 or 50 EMA, the higher the trade quality
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
⚠ The Stretched Breakout — When to Be Careful
When a breakout label shows "⚠ STRETCHED" , it means the breakout is occurring while price is already significantly extended from the EMA ribbon — the gap between price and the Fast EMA, or between the Fast and Slow EMA, has reached a level where mean reversion risk is elevated.
Stretched breakout without volume spike → Stand aside or reduce size significantly. The move has likely already travelled the bulk of its range for this leg, and a snapback to the EMAs is the more probable next event.
Stretched breakout with volume spike within 1–2 candles → Momentum is genuine, but manage it differently:
Do not chase — wait for a small pullback toward the broken level or the Fast EMA
Use a tighter stop and reduced position size
Take profit earlier than you normally would — the extended distance from EMAs means the move is borrowing from the next leg
Watch for RSI divergence forming quickly after the breakout — this is a sign the stretched move is exhausting
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
⚠ Identifying Choppy / Ranging Markets — When NOT to Trade
AlphaX Edge has multiple visual signals that tell you to step aside:
EMAs converging and flattening — when all three EMAs cluster together and move sideways, there is no directional bias. Signals in this environment are lower quality regardless of score.
No active trend label — if neither UPTREND ▲ nor DOWNTREND ▼ has appeared recently, the market is in a structural no-man's-land. Wait for structure to develop.
Dashboard shows WEAK TREND — STAND ASIDE or MIXED — STAND ASIDE — these verdict states indicate that ADX is below threshold or bull and bear scores are close. Both are warning signs.
Squeeze is ON (● SQUEEZE ON in dashboard) — do not enter during an active squeeze. Wait for the squeeze to fire (◆ SQUEEZE FIRED) and for a directional confluence signal to follow.
Rapid alternating UPTREND/DOWNTREND labels — if the trend structure labels are flipping frequently, the market is whipsawing. The cooldown filter reduces this, but the message is clear: no clean trend is present.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

QML FTB with Quality Score [Malibu]QML FTB with Quality Score
Overview
QML FTB with Quality Score is an open-source market structure indicator designed to detect Quasimodo (QML) reversal formations and highlight potential First Touch Back (FTB) reaction levels after a confirmed break of structure.
The script is built to be selective rather than frequent. Instead of displaying every possible QML pattern, it filters structure through multiple confluence factors and ranks each setup with a normalized Quality Score. The goal is to help traders focus on cleaner and more meaningful reaction zones rather than treating all reversal structures as equal.
What this indicator does
This indicator scans price action for bullish and bearish Quasimodo formations, confirms the related market structure break, and projects the corresponding left-shoulder area as a potential reaction level.
In practical terms, it is a structure-based reversal and reaction-zone tool that can assist with:
- market structure shifts
- support and resistance transitions
- break-of-structure confirmation
- liquidity-driven reversal analysis
- filtered first-touch retest opportunities
Why this indicator can be useful
Raw QML detection can become noisy because many structures may appear valid at first glance, but not all of them carry the same quality. This script attempts to solve that problem by combining pattern detection with context-based filtering.
Instead of only drawing a shape, it asks additional questions:
- Was the structure break strong enough?
- Is momentum aligned?
- Is there RSI divergence?
- Is there Fair Value Gap confluence?
- Was liquidity swept before the reversal?
- Is the level still fresh and untouched?
That layered process is what makes the script more selective and more practical for traders who prefer structured filtering over raw pattern frequency.
How it works
The script uses a ZigZag-style swing engine to track meaningful highs and lows in price structure. Based on those swings, it evaluates whether the sequence forms a valid Quasimodo transition.
Bullish structure:
- price forms a lower low
- price then breaks the prior key high
- the previous shoulder area becomes the projected bullish QML / FTB level
Bearish structure:
- price forms a higher high
- price then breaks the prior key low
- the previous shoulder area becomes the projected bearish QML / FTB level
Once the structure is identified, the setup can be refined through optional confluence filters. The script then calculates a Quality Score and prints the confirmed level only after bar close.
Filtering logic
1) Body Break Filter
This filter requires the break of structure to happen with candle body confirmation rather than wick-only penetration. Its purpose is to reduce weak or cosmetic breaks and focus on clearer structural shifts.
2) Momentum Filter (EMA)
This filter checks whether the setup is aligned with the broader directional bias using an EMA-based trend condition. Bullish setups are generally stronger when price is positioned in bullish momentum context, while bearish setups are generally stronger when price is positioned in bearish momentum context.
3) RSI Divergence Filter
This filter looks for momentum exhaustion. For bullish setups, it checks whether price pushes lower while RSI fails to confirm that weakness. For bearish setups, it checks the opposite. This is the strictest filter and is meant to isolate higher-selectivity reversal conditions.
4) FVG Confluence
This filter checks whether the projected QML level aligns with a Fair Value Gap area. The aim is to add imbalance context and identify zones where inefficient price delivery may support a reaction.
5) Liquidity Sweep Filter
This filter checks whether the head of the QML structure swept prior liquidity before the reversal. It is meant to capture structural traps and stop-hunt style behavior before a turn.
6) Freshness (FTB) Filter
This filter removes levels that have already been touched or used. Its goal is to keep the focus on first-touch reaction opportunities rather than repeatedly tested zones.
Quality Score logic
The script ranks each setup using a normalized Quality Score.
Current score components:
- RSI Divergence: +30
- FVG Confluence: +25
- Liquidity Sweep: +25
- EMA Momentum Alignment: +20
The total score is normalized according to the filters that are currently active, then displayed as a percentage. This allows the indicator to remain usable even when traders prefer a lighter or stricter filter stack.
What it plots on the chart
The indicator can display:
- a thick horizontal QML entry level
- optional dashed ZigZag structure lines
- bullish and bearish QML labels
- a Quality Score percentage
- an additional symbol when RSI divergence is present
The visual design is intentionally simple so the underlying structure remains readable on chart.
Inputs
ZigZag Sensitivity (default: 13)
Controls how sensitive the swing detection is.
- Lower values produce more swing points and more signals, but also more noise.
- Higher values reduce signal frequency and generally improve selectivity, but can introduce more lag.
Body Break Filter (default: true)
Requires structure breaks to happen with body confirmation.
- Usually lowers signal count
- Usually improves reliability
- Best kept enabled in noisier conditions
Momentum Filter / EMA Filter (default: true)
Restricts setups to those aligned with EMA direction.
- Reduces counter-trend signals
- Makes the script more selective
- Generally improves quality in directional markets
EMA Period (default: 50)
Defines the trend filter length.
- Lower values make the filter more responsive
- Higher values make it smoother and slower
RSI Divergence Filter (default: false)
Allows only setups that also show RSI divergence.
- This is the strictest filter
- Strongly reduces signal frequency
- Best used when only higher-selectivity reversal setups are desired
FVG Confluence (default: true)
Requires the level to align with Fair Value Gap context.
- Filters out some otherwise valid patterns
- Can improve contextual quality in imbalanced markets
Liquidity Sweep Filter (default: true)
Requires evidence of liquidity interaction at the head of the structure.
- Helps isolate trap-like reversal conditions
- Adds selectivity around structural extremes
Freshness (FTB) Filter (default: true)
Rejects previously tested levels.
- Keeps the focus on first-touch setups
- Useful for traders who prefer untouched zones
Line Length (bars) (default: 25)
Controls how far the projected QML level is extended to the right.
- This is a visual setting
- It does not change the signal logic
Which settings matter most
The three most important inputs are:
- ZigZag Sensitivity
- Body Break Filter
- Freshness (FTB) Filter
These settings have the biggest impact on how noisy, selective, and practical the final output becomes.
Suggested usage styles
Balanced / default use
For most users, the default settings are the best place to start. They are designed to provide a practical balance between signal frequency and selectivity.
More aggressive use
For traders who want more setups:
- reduce ZigZag Sensitivity toward 8–10
- consider disabling EMA Filter
- consider disabling FVG Confluence
This can increase opportunity count, but it also increases noise and false positives.
More conservative use
For traders who want fewer but stronger setups:
- keep Body Break Filter enabled
- keep Freshness Filter enabled
- enable RSI Divergence Filter
- focus more on higher-score setups, especially 80%+
This creates a much stricter selection process.
Timeframe behavior
This indicator is generally better suited to M15, H1, H4, and Daily charts.
Suggested sensitivity behavior:
- M15 to H1: 13 to 21 is usually more stable
- H4 to Daily: 8 to 13 is often more responsive without becoming overly delayed
Timeframe notes:
- On M1 and M5, low sensitivity settings can produce excessive noise and weak structure breaks.
- In lower timeframes, Body Break confirmation becomes much more important.
- On higher timeframes, very high sensitivity values can reduce opportunities too much and may introduce unnecessary delay.
Market conditions
The script tends to behave more cleanly in liquid markets where structure is clearer, such as:
- crypto majors
- forex majors
- index products
- other actively traded instruments
In very thin or highly irregular markets, the structural quality of setups may degrade.
Why this indicator may be preferred over simpler alternatives
This script is not intended to be just a basic ZigZag visualizer or a simple Quasimodo marker.
Its main differentiator is the way it combines multiple layers of structure validation into one ranked workflow:
- structure recognition
- body-based break confirmation
- momentum alignment
- divergence context
- FVG context
- liquidity sweep context
- freshness filtering
- normalized quality scoring
Instead of showing every possible shape, it tries to separate weaker structural patterns from more meaningful ones.
What makes this script different
The individual concepts used here are known market-structure concepts, but the practical value of the script comes from how they are combined.
Its distinguishing contribution is the orchestration layer:
- the Quality Score model
- the multi-filter ranking process
- the first-touch freshness workflow
- the compact integration of structure, momentum, liquidity, and imbalance into one decision-support tool
In other words, the script is built on generic market-structure concepts, but its filtering and ranking workflow is specific to this implementation.
How to use it in practice
A common workflow is:
- wait for a level to be confirmed
- monitor the first return into that level
- use the score and filter context to judge whether the setup deserves attention
- avoid treating every printed level as a guaranteed reversal
Many users will find it most useful as a structured decision-support tool rather than as a standalone entry engine.
Technical behavior
- Signals are confirmed on bar close.
- Confirmed levels remain fixed after printing.
- The script does not rely on request.security() in the described signal logic.
- No lookahead-based behavior is used in the signal confirmation process.
- The latest developing pivot may evolve while structure is still forming, but confirmed outputs are only printed after confirmation.
Alerts
The script includes on-close alerts when a new bullish or bearish QML level is confirmed.
Alert messages can include contextual details such as:
- direction
- Quality Score
- divergence state
Limitations
This script is a technical analysis tool, not a prediction engine.
Please keep in mind:
- sideways conditions can generate weaker structural setups
- very low timeframes can create more noise and false breaks
- news-driven volatility can invalidate technical levels quickly
- very low ZigZag Sensitivity settings can make ordinary pullbacks look more important than they really are
- no indicator can guarantee that price will react from every marked level
For that reason, the script is best used as a structured analysis tool rather than as a certainty model. Indicator
Support & Resistance Pro Toolkit [LuxAlgo]The Support & Resistance Pro Toolkit indicator is the ultimate professional structural analysis engine for PulseWire, meticulously engineered to provide the definitive solution for modern structural analysis by integrating four sophisticated detection algorithms—Pivots, Donchian Alternating, CSID, and ZigZag—marked by directional triangle signals to identify high-conviction swing points.
This powerhouse tool allows traders to seamlessly toggle between precise level plotting and dynamic ATR-based zones, both featuring a revolutionary security breakout buffer and 25-bar future projections, alongside advanced filtering based on traded volume, liquidity sweeps (marked by prominent dot signals), re-test frequency, and survival duration.
🔶 USAGE
The toolkit identifies significant price structures using one of four sophisticated detection methods. Once a level is identified, it can be displayed as a precise line or a dynamic zone with depth determined by the Average True Range (ATR).
Traders can use this toolkit to filter out market noise by setting minimum requirements for volume, re-tests, or liquidity sweeps. This ensures that only the most significant institutional structures are displayed on the chart.
🔹 Advanced Detection Engines
The foundation of any structural analysis is detection. This toolkit offers four unique methodologies to suit any trading style:
Pivots : The industry-standard approach using left/right strength lookbacks to find peak highs and valley lows.
Donchian (Alternating) : A high-performance state-machine detector. It identifies alternating swings without fixed lag, confirming a previous extreme precisely when price shifts to a new directional state (e.g., a new Higher High confirms the previous Lower Low).
CSID : A momentum-based detector that identifies structural extremes based on a consecutive sequence of N bullish or bearish candles, highlighting areas of strong trend initiation.
ZigZag : A volatility-adjusted method that identifies swings based on a percentage deviation from price, filtering out minor fluctuations and focusing on significant market moves.
🔹 Zone Sizing & The Security Buffer
Structural areas are rarely single prices. This toolkit treats S&R as dynamic regions of interest:
Zone Depth (ATR Mult) : Zones are calculated using the Average True Range (ATR) to ensure they adapt to current market volatility. This sets the thickness from the swing point inwards towards price.
Breakout Buffer (ATR Mult) : A revolutionary "Security Buffer" that extends the zone outwards on the breakout side. This requires price to clear an additional layer of volatility before a breakout is confirmed, significantly reducing "fakeouts" and noise-triggered mitigations.
🔹 Overlap & Structural Hygiene
Keep your charts actionable and clean with institutional-grade overlap management:
Merge Overlapping : When two zones interact, the older zone expands its boundaries to encompass the newer one, creating a "Super Zone" that respects the combined historical context.
Hide Oldest First : Prioritizes the most recent market context by hiding older levels that are overlapped by newer ones.
Hide Youngest First : Respects established, historical structures by ignoring newer, smaller levels that form within the range of existing unmitigated zones.
🔹 Institutional Filtering
Eliminate minor "noise" levels by showing only structures that meet high-conviction criteria:
Price Entries (E) : Shows zones only after they have been re-tested a specific number of times.
Strength (S) : Tracks the number of additional swing points that occur within the zone range during its lifetime.
Sweeps (SW) : Filters for zones that have successfully trapped liquidity through wick-only violations.
Traded Volume (V) : Sums every tick of volume that occurs while price is within the zone, identifying areas of massive institutional participation.
Duration (D) : Requires a level to survive for a minimum number of bars before it is considered a valid structure.
🔶 DETAILS
🔹 Symbols & Analytic Feedback
▲/▼ Triangles : Pinpoint markers at the exact bar of every detected swing high and low.
● Large Dots : Marked at the exact location of "Sweeps"—where price wicks past a boundary but closes back inside, signaling a potential reversal or liquidity grab.
Future Projections : Active, unmitigated levels extend 25 bars beyond the current price action for immediate visual guidance.
Dynamic Shorthand Labels : Positioned at the end of the extension and centered on the zone average, providing a real-time data readout:
E:Entries | S:Strength | SW:Sweeps | V:Volume | D:Duration
🔹 The Performance Dashboard
A 4-column command center providing a side-by-side comparison of structural performance across Support, Resistance, and Totals:
Active / Total : Real-time count of currently valid versus historically detected structures.
Mitigation % : The structural "break rate" of your current settings.
Avg Duration : The average number of bars a level survives before being violated—critical for timing trades.
Avg Volume : The typical "weight" of institutional activity accumulated within zones before they break.
Total Sweeps : A macro-view of liquidity hunting activity on both sides of the market.
🔶 SETTINGS
🔹 Detection Settings
Detection Method : Choose between Pivots, Donchian, CSID, or ZigZag logic.
Swing Sensitivity : Adjusts the lookback or deviation required to confirm a new swing point.
🔹 Zone & Level Sizing
Display Style : Toggles between horizontal levels and ATR-based zones.
ATR Period : Period used for the volatility calculations.
Zone Depth (ATR Mult) : Sets the vertical thickness of the S&R zones.
Breakout Buffer (ATR Mult) : Adds a buffer to the breakout side to filter out false breaks.
🔹 Filtering & Visibility
Overlap Handling : Manages how overlapping zones are displayed (Merge, Hide Oldest, or Hide Youngest).
Max Active (Unmitigated) : Limits the number of unmitigated levels shown on the chart.
Show Broken S&R : Toggles the visibility of levels that have already been mitigated.
Extend Active S&R : Extends active levels into the future for better visibility.
🔹 Minimum Requirements
Min Price Entries : Minimum re-tests required for a level to be visible.
Min Overall Strength : Minimum strength score required based on internal swing points.
Min Sweeps : Minimum liquidity sweeps required.
Min Traded Volume : Minimum accumulated volume required within the zone.
Min Duration (Bars) : Minimum age of the level in bars before display.

Auto Fibonacci Retracement [identityKa]Overview
The Auto Fibonacci Retracement is a dynamic structural mapping tool designed to automate the process of drawing Fibonacci levels. By continually scanning historical price action over a user-defined lookback period, the script identifies the dominant macroeconomic Swing High and Swing Low. It then mathematically constructs the retracement zones in real-time, completely removing human subjectivity from technical analysis.
Core Mathematical Engine
The script utilizes the ta.highest and ta.lowest functions coupled with a structural array system to ensure flawless historical anchoring:
Trend Directionality: The script determines the current macro trend by calculating the chronological offset between the absolute High and absolute Low. If the Low occurred chronologically before the High, it establishes a Bullish bias and draws the Fibonacci ratios from bottom to top. Conversely, it draws from top to bottom for a Bearish bias.
Level Generation: Utilizing standard percentage retracements, the engine strictly plots the 0.382, 0.500 (Equilibrium), 0.618 (Golden Pocket), and 0.786 (Deep Retracement) levels. The lines are drawn using a smart array management system that clears old lines and strictly plots the active data on the live bar to prevent chart lag and clutter.
HUD Dashboard & AI Logic
To assist in reading the Fibonacci zones, an integrated on-chart panel evaluates the relationship between the live closing price and the drawn retracement levels:
Dangerous: Displayed whenever the current price enters the zone between the 0.382 and the 0.618 (Golden Pocket) levels. This area represents deep institutional retracement and is mathematically the highest-risk zone for trend-continuation entries, as the market is actively deciding whether to bounce or reverse.
LONG / SHORT: The engine defaults to the macro trend direction ("LONG" in an uptrend, "SHORT" in a downtrend) as long as the price remains confidently outside the deep retracement zone (e.g., above the 0.382 in a bullish trend), signifying that the primary momentum remains intact. If the deep 0.786 level is broken against the trend, the script will mathematically flip the bias, assuming a structural reversal.
How to Use It
Traders should use this script to automate their top-down analysis. Rather than manually redrawing Fibonacci levels as new highs or lows are made, this indicator updates dynamically. During an established trend, traders should look for the AI Suggestion to switch to "Dangerous" (indicating price has entered the Golden Pocket) and await a definitive candlestick rejection pattern off the 0.500 or 0.618 level before re-entering the market in the direction of the macro trend.
