PDH / PDL / ONH / ONL (CST)PDH / PDL / ONH / ONL — Chicago Session Levels
Marks the four key reference levels traders watch each session, calculated in Chicago (CST/CDT) time:
PDH / PDL — the high and low of the previous Regular Trading Hours session (default 08:30–16:00 CT)
ONH / ONL — the high and low of the overnight range, from the prior RTH close to the pre-market cutoff (default 16:00–08:25 CT)
Each level is finalized when its session closes and extends to the right until the next session produces a new one.
Features
Fully customizable session windows and time zone — set it to any market you trade
Independent color, line style (solid/dashed/dotted), and width for each of the four levels
Optional lines anchored at the wick that created the extreme, so you can see exactly which candle produced the level
Vertical session dividers at day start and day end, with their own colors, styles, and history limit
Price labels that follow the right edge of the chart
Option to keep prior days' levels on screen as fixed segments
Built-in alerts for crosses above PDH/ONH and below PDL/ONL
How to use
Apply on an intraday timeframe — 5-minute or lower gives the most accurate overnight extremes. Enable "Extended Trading Hours" in your chart settings so overnight data is available. These levels commonly act as support/resistance, liquidity targets, and breakout reference points at the open.

Manual Zone & Level PlotterDraws price zones and horizontal levels from a short text input, so you can keep a manually-defined map of the market on your chart without re-drawing it by hand every day.
WHY
Many traders keep a small set of levels and zones they care about (a directional target area, one or two areas where they wait for entries, and the nearest support/resistance). Re-drawing them by hand on every timeframe and every device is tedious and error-prone. This script keeps that map in two short text fields, so it survives timeframe changes, chart reloads and switching devices.
HOW IT WORKS
You type (or paste) two strings in the settings.
Zones field (settings: "Zones") - groups separated by ";", items separated by ","
G = primary zone, O = secondary zone, X = marker levels.
A range like 4371.83-4400 is drawn as a box; a single number is drawn as a line.
Example: G4371.83-4400;O4325-4350;X4350
Levels field (settings: "Levels") - R = levels above, S = levels below
Example: R4350,4400;S4325,4311.89
Everything is drawn with extend on both sides, so the zones stay visible wherever you scroll. Optional price tags can be turned off. Box transparency and line width are adjustable. Malformed numbers are skipped instead of breaking the whole drawing.
NOTES
- The script contains no signals, no alerts, no buy/sell logic and no automatic level detection. It only draws what you type. All numbers come from you.
- Nothing is repainted: the drawing is rebuilt on the last bar from your input only.
- Works on any symbol and timeframe.
This is a drawing utility for personal chart notes. It is not investment advice and it does not tell you when to buy or sell. Trading involves risk; make your own decisions. Indicator
cpr&ema TLTOverview
This indicator combines Daily Central Pivot Range (CPR), previous day high and low levels, Camarilla pivot levels, configurable moving averages, and Bollinger Bands into a single charting tool.
The purpose of combining these components is to provide a structured view of intraday price location, trend context, volatility, and important support and resistance areas without requiring multiple separate indicators.
How it works
The indicator calculates the previous trading day's CPR values and displays the Central Pivot (PP), Top Central (TC), Bottom Central (BC), and selected support and resistance levels.
Previous day high and low levels can also be displayed to provide additional reference points for intraday price action.
Camarilla H3, H4, L3, and L4 levels are calculated from the previous trading day's range and closing price. These levels can be used as additional reference areas when evaluating potential continuation or reversal zones.
The moving-average section provides configurable EMA periods of 5, 20, 50, 100, and 200. Users can enable or disable the EMA group depending on their analysis.
The Bollinger Band section provides a configurable basis, upper band, and lower band for evaluating price volatility and deviation from the selected moving average.
How to use
Users can enable only the components required for their analysis.
CPR can be used to understand the daily pivot structure and price location.
Previous day high and low can be used as important reference levels.
Camarilla levels can be used to identify additional intraday support and resistance areas.
The EMA group can provide trend context, while Bollinger Bands can provide additional volatility context.
These components are intended to be used together as a market-analysis framework rather than as standalone trade signals.
Important
This indicator does not guarantee profitable trades. Market conditions can change and all levels may fail. Users should perform their own analysis and apply appropriate risk management before making trading decisions. Indicator

VASA Multi-Timeframe Rating vFStop flipping between charts to check whether the higher timeframes agree. This puts three timeframes in one small table on your chart. For each one it reads trend (fast EMA vs slow EMA) and momentum (RSI above or below 50), then sums them into a plain rating: Bull, Lean bull, Mixed, Lean bear, or Bear.
What it does: • Three configurable timeframes (default 15m / 1h / 4h) • Trend and momentum column per timeframe • A fused rating cell, colour-coded • Reads higher timeframes without repainting — on the live bar it uses the last closed higher-TF bar, so the table doesn't flicker intrabar
How to use: look for agreement. When all three lean the same way, you're trading with the broader context instead of against it. When they disagree ("Mixed"), that's your signal to size down or stand aside. Change the three timeframes to match how you actually trade — a scalper might run 1m/5m/15m, a swing trader 1h/4h/1D.
Educational only — not financial advice. Trading involves substantial risk of loss.

EZ$ PB Blake v1.0EZ$ PB Blake is a standalone indicator built around PB Blake’s four-step trading model:
HTF Bias + Draw on Liquidity → Valid Key Level → Highest-TF IFVG Confirmation → Entry
It is designed to keep the model clean and structured rather than filling the chart with every possible FVG or ICT concept.
The indicator first determines whether the market is bullish or bearish by looking at how Daily, 4H, 1H and optional 15M FVGs are being respected or disrespected. It then identifies the likely BSL or SSL draw on liquidity.
Next, it looks for valid PB-style key levels from the 3M, 5M, 15M, 30M, 1H and 4H, including FVGs, ITL/ITH levels, CISDs and rejection blocks.
Once price reaches a valid key level, the indicator identifies the manipulation leg and searches the 1M through 5M for the highest-timeframe IFVG inside that leg.
The actual signal only appears after the proper IFVG timeframe gets a confirmed body close through the gap:
PB LONG
or
PB SHORT
Settings Guide
1. HTF Bias + Draw on Liquidity
Bias Mode
Auto FVG Respect — recommended
Manual Bullish
Manual Bearish
Auto mode scores the 1D / 4H / 1H / 15M based on FVG respect/disrespect.
Minimum Absolute Bias Score
Default: 2
Higher number = stricter bias
I would leave this at 2 initially
DOL Swing TF
Default: 1H
Used to locate the swing high/low serving as the likely draw.
You'll see:
BSL • DOL for bullish
SSL • DOL for bearish
2. Valid Key Levels
Default timeframes are all enabled:
3M / 5M / 15M / 30M / 1H / 4H
The script can select:
FVG
ITL / ITH
CISD
RB = Rejection Block
I recommend leaving all of these timeframe toggles ON initially because PB uses different key-level timeframes depending on the setup.
The dashboard might say something like:
KEY: 15M FVG
or
KEY: 1H RB
3. IFVG Confirmation
This is the most important section for the actual entry.
Default:
1M / 2M / 3M / 4M / 5M = ON
The indicator searches those timeframes and selects the highest-timeframe IFVG inside the manipulation leg.
Example:
If the leg contains:
1M IFVG ✅
2M IFVG ✅
3M IFVG ✅
4M IFVG ❌
5M IFVG ❌
then the script waits for the:
3M IFVG
—not the 1M.
The dashboard will show:
WAIT 3M CLOSE
Then a confirmed body close through that IFVG can generate the signal.
I intentionally left the 30-second IFVG out of the default model.
4. Execution / Risk
Golden Hour
Default: 9:30–11:00 AM ET
Recommended: ON
Maximum Signals per Session
Default: 2
That matches the spirit of PB's limited-trade approach.
Show Safest Swing Stop Reference
ON by default
Displays the manipulation swing as a visual stop reference.
This is only a reference, not an automatic order.
Dashboard
The bottom-right dashboard is basically your checklist:
PB BIAS — Bullish / Bearish / Wait
1D / 4H — individual HTF states
1H / 15M — additional bias context
DOL — BSL or SSL
KEY — active PB key level
MODEL — current setup stage
SESSION — Golden Hour or Outside
SIGNALS — how many PB signals have fired
The most useful MODEL states are:
WAIT BIAS
→ WAIT KEY
→ WAIT TOUCH
→ WAIT 1M/2M/3M/4M/5M CLOSE
→ PB LONG / PB SHORT
So the simplest way to use the indicator is:
Let the dashboard walk you through PB Blake's process instead of manually hunting every concept on the chart. Indicator
NY AM Range SweepAcá va la versión más marketinera, pensada para enganchar en la sección de publicación de PulseWire:
🎯 NY AM Range Sweep — Stop Chasing Fakeouts, Start Trading Confirmed Reversals
Every morning, the New York session sets a trap: liquidity gets swept, retail traders get faked out, and price reverses right after. NY AM Range Sweep is built to help you trade the other side of that trap — with discipline, not guesswork.
🔥 Why traders are switching to this setup:
Instead of jumping in on the first sign of a reversal, this indicator stacks three layers of confirmation before ever flashing a signal — cutting through the noise that catches most traders off guard.
⚙️ How it works:
📍 Session Range — Auto-plots the high/low of the 5:00–9:00 AM NY session, the window where the day's liquidity gets set.
💧 The Sweep — Waits for a confirmed candle close beyond that range, not just a wick fake-out.
✅ 5-Min Confirmation — Requires a full engulfing candle (body and wick) in the direction of the move.
✅ 45-Min Confirmation — Cross-checks the higher timeframe before greenlighting the trade.
Only when all three align does the indicator plot your entry, stop loss, and take profit — automatically, right on the chart.
📊 What you get on every signal:
Clear Buy/Sell labels
Dynamic stop loss tracking the true extreme of the move
Take profit mapped to the opposite side of the AM range
Built-in alerts so you never have to stare at the chart waiting
🕔 Best used on: the 5-minute chart, any instrument that respects the NY AM session — indices, forex, futures.
Trading involves risk. This tool is designed to support your decision-making process, not replace it — always manage risk responsibly. Indicator

Pivot Scoreboard [AFD]**How many times has price tested R1 this session — and did it hold or break each time?**
If you trade off pivots, you already know where the levels are. What you don't have is their record. Was this the second test of S1, or the fifth? Has the CPR held the last three times price came back to it, or is it starting to give way? Every pivot tool on the shelf draws the same lines and then goes quiet — so you end up trading levels with no memory, where the first test and the fifth look exactly alike.
**Pivot Scoreboard keeps the record** . For the current period's pivot ladder and Central Pivot Range, it counts **how many times price has tested each level**, and whether each test **held** (price closed back on the side it came from) or **broke** (price closed through). The market draws the lines; this one records what happened at them.
### Why it matters###
A level nobody has tested is just a line on a chart. A level price has tested four times and held four times is one the market is actively defending — and the day it finally breaks, that's a change you had no way to see when every touch looked the same. The count is the context: it tells you whether a level is being respected or worn down, this period, on this symbol. It is a plain description of what has already happened — never a prediction, and never a signal to act.
### At a glance###
###Capability - What you get ###
**Touch scoreboard** A per-level count of tests this period — on the level's label (`R1 ·3`) and in the card
**Held / broke split** For each core level, how many of those tests held versus broke |
**Nine pivot formulas** Switch the whole ladder between nine conventions (table below) |
**Central Pivot Range** The TC/BC balance band, kept on the floor-pivot basis whichever formula you pick
**Five anchors** Daily · Weekly · Monthly · Quarterly · Yearly — or Auto, which picks the shortest sensible one
**Five neutral alerts** CPR entry, CPR exit up, CPR exit down, first R1 test, first S1 test — all on confirmed closes
**Location read** demoted line still names where price sits right now (secondary to the score) |
**Appearance** Ten palettes, per-zone custom colours, an optional active-zone glow, configurable labels and card
### Nine pivot formulas, one ladder###
Trade the convention you already use — the scoreboard counts touches on whichever levels it draws. "Tiers" is how many resistance/support steps each formula defines above and below the pivot.
### Formulas ###
**Floor Pivots** *(default)* // PP = (H + L + C) / 3; R/S from 2·PP
**Fibonacci** // R/S at 0.382 / 0.618 / 1.0 × range, off PP
**Woodie** // Weights the period's open: PP = (H + L + 2·Open) / 4
**Classic** // R/S at PP ± 1 / 2 / 3 × range
**DM** // A conditional sum keyed to prior open vs close
**Camarilla** // Close ± 1.1·range ÷ {12, 6, 4, 2}, plus a wide 5th tier
**Frank Dilernia** // R/S at ½ / 0.618 / 1.0 × range, off PP
**Shadow Trader** // The floor-pivot tiers (its own published basis)
**ACD Method** // PP ± the distance from PP to the H/L midpoint
The **Central Pivot Range** stays on the floor-pivot basis whichever formula you choose, so the balance band is a stable reference and does not shift when you switch lenses.
### How a test is scored###
The ladder is built from the *prior* completed period's high, low and close:
```
PP = (prior high + prior low + prior close) / 3
R1 = 2 × PP − prior low S1 = 2 × PP − prior high
CPR: BC = (prior high + prior low) / 2 ; TC = 2 × PP − BC (sorted)
```
Then, for each drawn level, on every **confirmed** bar:
**Touched** — the bar's range includes the level (low ≤ level ≤ high).
**Test** — counted when a bar touches a level the *previous* confirmed bar did not. This "leading edge" rule means a level price hugs for five bars counts **once**, not five times.
**Held / broke** — *held* when the bar closes back on the side it approached from (a rejection); *broke* when it closes through (an acceptance).
**Reset** — counts return to zero at each new period, because the levels are redrawn from the new prior high/low/close.
These are **descriptions of what the chart has already done** — counts of observed touches — not predictions, signals, or trade instructions. A high test count is a record, not a probability.
### How it differs from Pivot Matrix + Zones ###
The account also publishes `Pivot Matrix + Zones `, a pivot **workbench** — compare formulas across packs side by side, score confluence, read the current location. Pivot Scoreboard is a different job: **one ladder, and a running tally of how price has interacted with it.** They are complements, not versions of each other — run whichever fits the question you're asking.
### The visuals###
- **Levels and CPR band.** PP is the strongest line; the CPR is a neutral balance band; further tiers fade with distance. Each level's label carries its test count.
- **Scoreboard card.** The core levels — R1, PP, S1 and the CPR boundaries — with their tests and held/broke split; hover the header for a note on the `3 (1/2)` format. Below them a demoted **Now** line (the current location, its cell tinted the zone's colour with automatically legible text), the furthest tier reached this period, and the anchor in use.
- **Active-zone glow (optional).** The zone price is currently in can be filled with a soft gradient that follows price. It is secondary — the scoreboard is the point — and can be turned off.
### How to use it###
- Leave **Anchor** on Auto and it picks the shortest sensible higher timeframe, or set it directly. The anchor must be **strictly above** your chart timeframe.
- Use **Map depth** — Core shows R1/S1 and the CPR; Extended adds the outer tiers, each with its own count.
- Everything else (formula, palette, custom colours, labels, the card, the glow) is a setting — configure it once to taste.
### What it deliberately does not do###
It does not compare formulas side by side, score confluence, or rank anything. It draws one ladder and keeps score on it. It makes **no** accuracy, reliability, profitability, probability or future-result claim; a test count describes the past, not the future. Educational chart context, not financial advice.
### Data, timeframes and repainting###
- Prior high/low/close is requested from the symbol's exchange-default feed, offset by one completed period **and** with `lookahead_on` — the standard anti-repaint form — so the current, still-forming period never enters the ladder. Every test and event is evaluated on **confirmed bar closes**; nothing is back-placed.
- The above describes the **mechanism**. Confirm the behaviour with the bar-replay tool on your own chart and timeframe before relying on it.
- **Yearly is the highest anchor**, so a chart at or above 12 months has no valid anchor and the script says so.
- **Standard time-based candles only.** Heikin Ashi, Renko, Range and similar are rejected, because the tests read chart OHLC.
- A running alert keeps the inputs, symbol and timeframe it was created with — recreate an alert after changing any of them.
### Originality and credit###
Other pivot tools plot levels; this one turns a single ladder into a **running record of how price has tested it** — test counts with held/broke per level, reset each period — deliberately restricted to descriptive context.

TT-Autotune## TT-Autotune — Machine-Optimized Lorentzian Classification with Live Regime Switching
Most published strategies ship one set of parameters and hope the market
cooperates. TT-Autotune ships six — one per market regime — and each one was
bred, not guessed.
TT-Autotune is a strategy fork of the well-known Machine Learning: Lorentzian
Classification by jdehorty (used under MPL-2.0, full credit to the original
author — the k-nearest-neighbors core with Lorentzian distance is his work).
What we changed is everything around it: how the parameters are chosen, when
they apply, and how the signals become orders.
### The problem with the original defaults
Lorentzian Classification is a brilliant classifier wrapped around ~30 tunable
inputs: neighbor count, lookback depth, five feature slots (RSI / WT / CCI /
ADX with two periods each), kernel regression settings, and four filters.
The published defaults are one point in a 23-dimensional search space,
calibrated by hand, for no particular symbol, on no particular timeframe.
We measured that point. Across 50 crypto perpetual symbols on 15m, 1h, and 4h,
the stock defaults produced a NEGATIVE median walk-forward Sortino (−0.15)
net of fees. Not because the classifier is bad — because one parameter set
cannot fit every market.
### What TT-Autotune does differently
1 — SERVER-BRED PARAMETERS (Sync Code)
Every symbol × timeframe cell is optimized by TensorTrader's deterministic
genetic optimizer: populations of 32 candidate genomes evolved through
tournament selection, blend crossover, and decaying mutation (with fresh Sobol
immigrants every generation so the search never tunnel-visions), for a minimum
of 12 and up to 128 generations. Fitness is not "biggest backtest profit" —
it is walk-forward Sortino on net per-trade ROI after 5 bps fees + 2 bps
slippage, evaluated across 4 sequential out-of-sample folds on a pinned
5,000-bar window, with a consistency penalty (mean fold Sortino minus half its
dispersion). A candidate needs 40+ trades and activity in every fold or it is
discarded as statistically ineligible — no cherry-picked 6-trade miracles.
The winning genome is serialized into a compact Sync Code you paste into one
input field. Thirty parameters, injected at once.
2 — LIVE REGIME SWITCHING
Markets change character; your parameters should too. TT-Autotune embeds the
same six-state regime classifier that runs in TensorTrader's Python engine
(ADX + linear-regression slope + ATR%, with confirmation-bar and minimum-hold
hysteresis so it doesn't flip-flop): BULL_STRONG, BULL_WEAK, BEAR_STRONG,
BEAR_WEAK, SIDEWAYS_QUIET, SIDEWAYS_CHOP. A packed Regime Sync Code carries a
separately-evolved champion for each regime, and the script hot-swaps the
entire parameter set bar-by-bar as the live regime changes. An on-chart chip
panel shows which regime is live, how long it has held, and which regimes have
a deployed champion.
3 — A FIXED NEIGHBOR POOL
The original script scans the OLDEST maxBarsBack bars of whatever history
PulseWire happened to load — so the same settings give different signals
depending on your chart's loaded history. TT-Autotune scans a sliding pool of
the most RECENT maxBarsBack bars, making signals reproducible and matching the
Python simulator the optimizer trains against, bar for bar.
4 — A COMPLETE STRATEGY SHELL
This is a strategy, not an indicator: one alert covers long/short entries and
exits, with optional pyramiding (up to 5 DCA legs across timeframes), ATR-based
stop-loss / take-profit brackets, session and date windows, and three signal
modes (DEFAULT ML entries/exits, KERNEL_RAW, KERNEL_SMOOTH kernel-flip
triggers).
### The receipts
Every optimization run evaluates the stock-default parameter set as a baseline
on the exact same data, fees, folds, and eligibility rules as the candidates.
Publication is fail-closed: a champion is only released if it is statistically
eligible AND strictly beats the eligible default. From the most recent
completed sweep (148 populations, 50 symbols × 15m / 1h / 4h, ~607,000
walk-forward backtests):
- Champion beat the stock default in 148 of 148 populations.
- 136 of 148 cells flipped from a NEGATIVE default walk-forward Sortino to a
positive champion score.
- Median walk-forward fold Sortino: default −0.15 → champion +0.82.
- Median consistency-adjusted improvement: +0.67 aggregate score per cell.
- 825 of 888 per-regime panels produced an eligible regime champion; the rest
honestly report a baseline fallback instead of faking a winner.
Example (HBAR/USDT 4h): default settings scored 0.07 aggregate / +0.23 mean
fold Sortino over 78 trades; the evolved champion scored 0.91 / +1.73 over 66
trades — same window, same fees, same rules.
These are walk-forward backtests net of realistic costs, not live results.
Past performance never guarantees future returns. Trade small, trade paper
first.
### How to arm it
Without a Sync Code the script runs with the stock Lorentzian defaults — fine
for exploring, but you are leaving the entire optimization layer on the table.
To arm TT-Autotune with evolved parameters for your token:
1. Create a free account at tensortrader.agent-swarm.net.
2. Pick a symbol × timeframe cell from the optimized catalog (the free tier
includes one active cell; paid plans scale with your PulseWire alert
quota).
3. The TensorTrader browser extension delivers the packed Regime Sync Codes
into the script's inputs and keeps your alert enrolled and heartbeat-fresh
automatically — when a newer champion is bred for your cell, it rolls out
to you.
The codes are cell-specific on purpose: a champion evolved on HBAR 4h data has
no business trading DOGE 15m. The platform only arms the script for the market
it was actually trained on — that constraint is a feature, not a limitation.

One Time FramingOTF Trend
One Time Framing is a simple idea from auction market theory (the AMD / Market Profile world) that gets overcomplicated more often than it needs to be.
A market is one time framing up when each bar makes a higher low than the one before it. That's the whole test — the highs aren't part of it. Sellers might still be winning the fight for the high, but as long as they can't push price below the previous bar's low, they're not getting control of the auction. Buyers are setting the floor, one bar at a time, and one timeframe of participant is running the show. One time framing down is the mirror image: each bar makes a lower high, and buyers can't lift price above the previous high.
What the indicator draws
A green triangle below the bar when a new upward run begins, a red triangle above the bar when a new downward run begins. Faded dots mark each bar the run continues. A small × marks the bar where the run ends.
You choose how many consecutive bars are required before it counts. The default is 2 — one higher low is enough to call it. Push it to 3 or 4 and you'll get far fewer signals, but the ones you get will have more behind them. I'd suggest 3 on daily and weekly charts, 2 on intraday.
Inside bars
An inside bar has a higher low and a lower high. On the letter of the definition, it technically qualifies as one time framing in both directions at once. So this indicator treats inside bars as neutral. They don't extend a run and they don't break one — the count simply pauses. Price is coiling, nobody is in control, and the trend picks up where it left off on the next real bar. Inside bars get their own colour so you can see them at a glance.
There's a second job inside bars do here though. Because they represent a genuine pause, a break of an inside bar's range is often the moment the trend actually turns. So when an inside bar prints, the indicator remembers its high and low. If price then breaks out of that range in the opposite direction to the current trend, that counts as a reversal and flips the trend immediately — you don't have to wait for a fresh run to build up from scratch. This tends to get you in a bar or two earlier at turning points.
That pending setup expires if nothing happens within a set number of bars (default 8), so a stale inside bar from thirty bars back can't fire off a signal that has nothing to do with current price action.
What actually triggers a new trend
In priority order, each bar:
No trend running and a fresh run qualifies → new trend, triangle prints
An inside bar range break against the existing trend → reversal, triangle prints
The current run is broken → trend ends, × prints
A trend ending and a new one starting in the other direction are deliberately kept on separate bars. You could argue for collapsing them into one, but I'd rather see the exit clearly than save a bar on the entry.
Settings
Optional bar colouring for up runs, down runs and inside bars, all colours adjustable
Optional moving average with a choice of types (EMA 21 by default) purely for context — it plays no part in the signal logic
Alerts for new bullish and bearish runs, for inside bar reversals specifically, and for a trend ending
The run depth counters are exposed in the Data Window if you want to see how deep the current run is
Things to consider
Set your alerts to Once Per Bar Close. The state of the current bar can change as its high and low extend, so anything read intrabar isn't final.
Also be aware that a large gap can satisfy "higher low" on its own without any real structure behind it. Worth knowing if you're running this over earnings on equities or any asset that gaps over a weekend or overnight.
This isn't a standalone system. One time framing tells you who's in control right now, not whether you should be in the trade. Use it for confirmation and for timing entries within a bias you've already formed elsewhere.

Trender [IQ]IQ Trender - TradingIQ
🔹 OVERVIEW
IQ Trender is a non-repainting trend rail built around one simple visual language:
Flat = range. Ramp = trend. Brightness = conviction.
Most trend tools try to follow every movement in price. In sideways conditions, that can leave you reading a line that bends, twitches, and changes direction inside the same noise you were trying to filter.
IQ Trender is designed to behave differently. While the market remains inside its adaptive hold zone, the rail stays deliberately flat. When the underlying trend evidence becomes strong enough, it commits to a rising or falling leg and moves in one direction until that condition genuinely changes.
The result is a clean distinction between three market states:
Holding - the rail is flat and the market is being treated as a range or consolidation.
Rising - the rail has committed to an upward leg.
Falling - the rail has committed to a downward leg.
Direction is shown by color. Conviction is shown by color intensity and glow. The Trender Radar explains the current state numerically, while the Ghost Forecast extends the rail's present trajectory into a fading uncertainty cone.
This is a trend-reading and visualization tool, not a signal service. It does not issue buy or sell calls, and it makes no claim of profitability or predictive certainty.
🔹 THE ONE-LINE MENTAL MODEL
The fastest way to read IQ Trender is to ignore the mathematics at first and watch the shape of the rail:
A flat rail means the model is holding through noise.
An upward ramp means the model has committed to a rising leg.
A downward ramp means the model has committed to a falling leg.
A stronger glow means the estimated trend is showing greater statistical conviction.
This is the same sequence demonstrated in the walkthrough: a directional leg can flatten during a pause, pullback, or consolidation, then recommit if the broader move resumes. The bearish interpretation is the mirror image - falling leg, flat hold, then a renewed falling leg if downside evidence returns.
The flat section is important. It is not a prediction that a breakout is about to happen. It is the indicator saying that current movement has not earned a directional commitment.
🔸 HOW THE ENGINE WORKS
IQ Trender combines three separate jobs: estimating the trend beneath price, deciding whether that trend is statistically meaningful, and drawing a rail that cannot wiggle backward within a committed leg.
Track the underlying trend
A robust local-linear Kalman filter estimates the level and slope beneath the candles. Unlike a conventional moving average that applies a fixed weighting pattern, this is a state-estimation model: it updates its estimate from the difference between expected and observed price.
Large isolated deviations are reduced with a robust update, so a single wick cannot directly yank the rail to a new location. The model also adapts its measurement-noise estimate as conditions change.
⬞
Measure the uncertainty
The filter calculates an innovation deviation - a live estimate of how much movement is normal relative to its current model. IQ Trender uses that value to size the hold band.
When conditions are noisy, the tolerance can widen. When conditions are calmer, it can tighten. This lets the same mental model adapt across different symbols, price levels, and timeframes without using one fixed distance everywhere.
⬞
Test for commitment and change
The estimated slope is compared with its own uncertainty to produce conviction. Hysteresis uses separate thresholds for entering and leaving a committed trend, helping prevent repeated state changes near one boundary.
A two-sided cumulative change test also monitors standardized price surprises. That evidence helps the rail distinguish a genuine opposing change from ordinary counter-movement when a leg is already active.
⬞
Draw the rail
The visible rail is a separate, slew-limited ratchet guided by the Kalman center. Once an upward leg begins, the rail can only move upward until a valid reversal or hold condition is reached. Once a downward leg begins, it can only move downward.
That monotone-within-leg behavior is what creates IQ Trender's signature geometry: flat holds connected by clean directional ramps instead of a line that bends around every candle.
🔹 THE ADAPTIVE HOLD BAND
The shaded band is the rail's live range corridor.
While the rail is holding, the band opens around it to show the volatility-adjusted area in which price can move without forcing a directional leg. When the rail commits to a trend, the displayed band eases shut onto the rail because the model has left its holding state. When the rail becomes flat again, the band gradually reopens.
The band should be read as a model tolerance, not as conventional support and resistance. Price moving within it means the model can continue to hold. Movement beyond it contributes evidence for a new leg, but it is not, by itself, a guaranteed breakout or trade entry.
🔸 COLOR, GLOW & CONVICTION
IQ Trender communicates direction and commitment through one coordinated visual system:
Rising color - active upward leg.
Falling color - active downward leg.
Holding color - neutral, flat state.
Glow intensity - visual emphasis derived from the current conviction reading.
Conviction measures how strongly the estimated slope differs from zero relative to the model's uncertainty. It is a statistical strength reading, not the probability that a trade will win.
The palette is generated in the Oklab perceptual color space. Hue, lightness, and vibrancy can be adjusted as a coordinated system, while out-of-gamut colors are compressed toward neutral instead of clipping harshly.
Accessibility controls include deuteranopia, protanopia, and tritanopia modes, plus automatic contrast correction against the chart background. A selectable contrast target helps keep the rail and directional Radar accents legible across light and dark themes.
🔹 TRENDER RADAR
The Trender Radar is the live scorecard in the corner of the chart. It reports:
State - HOLDING, RISING, or FALLING.
Conviction - normalized trend commitment from 0-100%.
Slope - the rail's current rate of change per bar.
Hold Band - the current full width of the adaptive range corridor.
Behavior - the active Speed and Pursuit combination.
With Log Geometry enabled, slope is displayed as a percentage per bar and band width is expressed as a percentage of the rail. With linear geometry, both are shown in price units.
The Radar can be moved to any chart corner or disabled entirely.
🔸 GHOST FORECAST
The Ghost Forecast is a translucent forward projection of the rail's current slope.
Its centerline extends the rail's recent trajectory. The surrounding cone widens with distance to communicate increasing uncertainty, then fades away toward the horizon. Two growth modes are available:
√h - tighter near the live bar, then gradually widening like a random-walk spread.
Linear - uncertainty expands at a constant rate.
The forecast is rebuilt only at the live edge and never painted into historical bars. It can also be displayed while the rail is holding, where its centerline remains flat.
This feature is a trajectory read, not a price target. It answers, Where is the rail currently heading if its present slope persists? It does not answer, Where will price trade?
🔹 FLIP MARKERS & ALERTS
Optional markers identify confirmed changes in rail state:
▲ - committed to a rising leg.
▼ - committed to a falling leg.
◇ - flattened back into a hold, when hold markers are enabled.
Markers are created only on confirmed bars. Once printed, they do not move.
Matching alert conditions are included for:
Trender committed to a rising trend.
Trender committed to a falling trend.
Trender flattened into a hold.
These alerts report state changes in the model. They are not automated trade recommendations and should be interpreted in the context of the symbol, timeframe, market structure, and the user's own risk process.
🔸 SPEED - THE OVERALL TEMPO
Speed changes the rail's pursuit rate and the width of its hold zone together:
Glacier - calm, structural behavior for slower or higher-timeframe reading.
Slow - patient swing behavior with a wider hold zone.
Balanced - the recommended reference setting, balancing hold and tracking.
Fast - more reactive behavior for shorter intraday movement.
Scalp - the tightest and quickest micro follower.
Slower settings generally require more displacement and move the rail more gradually. Faster settings use a tighter band and pursue price more aggressively. A faster preset is not automatically better: responsiveness and noise rejection are opposing trade-offs.
🔸 PURSUIT - HOW A COMMITTED LEG MOVES
Pursuit changes the shape of an active leg without changing the underlying trend evidence:
Steady - a constant-speed ramp established when the leg begins.
Eased - pursuit speed scales with conviction and feathers toward the estimated center.
Snap - the most decisive pursuit, with a higher movement rate and faster conviction scaling.
On slower Speed presets, Snap can appear more step-like. Steady produces the cleanest constant ramps, while Eased creates a softer approach.
🔹 HOW TO READ IQ TRENDER
Start with state
Flat rail means the model is holding. Rising or falling rail means it has committed directionally. This gives the chart an immediate range-versus-trend read before any number is considered.
⬞
Weigh the leg
Use conviction, glow, and slope together. A bright rail with firm slope represents stronger model commitment. Fading conviction says the trend estimate is becoming less distinct from noise; it does not guarantee an immediate reversal.
⬞
Watch the sequence
One useful continuation framework is:
Rising rail.
Flat hold during consolidation or pullback.
New rising marker and renewed upward rail.
The bearish sequence is the inverse. This is a way to organize market context, not a complete entry system.
⬞
Keep the forecast in its proper role
Use the Ghost Forecast to visualize current trajectory and uncertainty. Do not treat the cone edge or centerline as a promised future level.
⬞
Confirm with your own process
IQ Trender can be combined with price structure, volume, liquidity, momentum, or a trader's existing risk framework. No single state, marker, or Radar value should replace position sizing and independent confirmation.

🔹 NON-REPAINTING BEHAVIOR
IQ Trender is calculated causally with no future-bar lookahead.
Confirmed historical rail values and confirmed flip markers remain where they were calculated. The current, still-open bar can update as new price arrives, as any live indicator can. The Ghost Forecast is intentionally rebuilt at the live edge because it represents the rail's current slope and uncertainty; it does not rewrite historical bars.
What was confirmed in history stays confirmed. What is still live remains live.
🔸 LIMITATIONS & HONEST NOTES
IQ Trender is an indicator, not a validated trading strategy. It makes no performance, win-rate, profit, or edge claim.
Kalman filtering is still a causal estimation process. It reduces noise but cannot remove lag, uncertainty, or false transitions.
Faster settings react sooner but can respond to more noise. Slower settings filter more movement but can confirm later.
A Holding state identifies insufficient directional commitment in this model; it does not guarantee that price will remain inside a range or that a breakout is imminent.
Conviction measures the strength of the estimated slope relative to uncertainty. It is not a probability of future direction or trade success.
The Ghost Forecast extrapolates the rail, not price. It is a visual scenario if the current trajectory persists, not a target or prediction.
Alerts and markers identify model state transitions only. They should not be treated as standalone entries or exits.
Results depend on symbol behavior, timeframe, data quality, and the selected Speed/Pursuit combination.
IQ Trender is built to make one difficult market question easier to see:
Is the market still ranging, or has a trend actually committed?
One rail. Three states. No hindsight redraws.

Volume Exhaustion Trend LineVolume Exhaustion Trend Line
OVERVIEW
This indicator plots a trend line that switches position relative to price based on a specific shift in volume behavior at swing highs and swing lows: when a series of pivots that were previously confirmed by volume above its moving average suddenly gets followed by one or more pivots with volume below its moving average, in the direction of the prevailing trend. This break in the volume pattern is treated as an early warning that the current trend may be losing the participation that was driving it.
HOW IT WORKS
1. Swing highs and swing lows are detected using a fractal pivot: a configurable number of bars on the left validates the structural significance of the pivot, and a configurable number of bars on the right confirms it. Fewer right-side bars means faster (but slightly less certain) confirmation.
2. Trend direction is determined purely from price structure, not from a moving average: the trend is bullish when both the most recent swing high and swing low are higher than the previous ones (higher highs / higher lows), and bearish when both are lower (lower highs / lower lows).
3. Each confirmed pivot is classified as "strong" or "weak" by comparing the volume on that exact pivot bar against a simple moving average of volume.
4. The indicator watches for the transition point: while the trend is bullish, if a swing high forms with weak volume right after a swing high that had strong volume, an exhaustion warning state is triggered. It stays active for as long as new swing highs keep forming with weak volume. If a strong-volume high reappears, or the trend structure changes, the warning resets. The same logic applies in mirror for swing lows inside a bearish trend.
5. A line is plotted around price using a moving average offset by a multiple of ATR. In a bullish trend with no active warning, the line sits below price (green). As soon as the warning triggers, the line jumps above price (red) for as long as the warning stays active. The mirror applies in a bearish trend: line above price (red) normally, dropping below price (green) when a weak-volume low breaks a prior strong-volume pattern. The area between the line and price is filled with the corresponding color for visual clarity.
INPUTS
- Left Bars (structural strength): bars to the left required to validate the pivot's significance.
- Right Bars (confirmation delay): bars to the right required to confirm the pivot. Lower values react faster; higher values produce more reliable pivots.
- Volume MA Length: moving average length used as the volume reference for classifying a pivot as strong or weak.
- Line MA Length: moving average length used as the basis for the plotted line.
- ATR Length / ATR Multiplier: control how far the line sits from the moving average basis, in both its normal and warning position.
- Bullish / Bearish Colors: colors for the line and fill in each state.
HOW TO USE IT
Line below price, green: the market is in a structurally confirmed uptrend and recent highs are still backed by above-average volume.
Line jumps above price, red, while price is still trending up: recent high(s) were not backed by above-average volume after previously being backed by it. Treat this as a signal to pay closer attention to that area for a possible loss of upside momentum, not as an automatic sell trigger.
Mirror logic applies in a downtrend: line above price (red) normally, dropping below price (green) when recent lows stop being confirmed by above-average volume after previously being confirmed by it, suggesting selling pressure may be fading.
This indicator identifies a condition, it does not generate entries or exits on its own. It is meant to be combined with your own structure, level, and risk analysis.
LIMITATIONS
- Pivots require Right Bars to pass before they can be confirmed, so every line change is applied with a delay equal to that setting relative to when the actual high/low occurred. Once plotted, it does not repaint or move retroactively.
- Volume shown on non-centralized markets (forex, CFDs, spot metals) is broker/feed-reported tick volume, not centralized traded volume. Interpret weak/strong volume readings on these instruments with that in mind.
- Like any structure-based tool, results vary by instrument, timeframe, and the settings used. Indicator
HTF Swing Highs & LowsAn open-source multi-timeframe market structure indicator that automatically identifies and projects confirmed swing highs and swing lows from the Weekly, Daily, and 4-Hour timeframes onto any lower timeframe chart.
The indicator is designed to provide clean, non-repainting support and resistance levels based on confirmed market structure rather than developing pivots.
Features
- Weekly, Daily and 4H swing highs and lows
- Non-repainting confirmed pivots
- Automatic higher timeframe detection using request.security()
- Horizontal levels extended until invalidated
- Independent visibility controls for each timeframe
- Hierarchical timeframe filtering
- Custom colours and line widths for every timeframe
- Adjustable pivot strength
- Wick, Close or Never invalidation options
- Stop or Delete broken levels
- Automatic level management to prevent exceeding PulseWire object limits
How it works
The script uses confirmed pivot highs and lows from higher timeframes.
Unlike developing pivots, a swing is only confirmed after the selected number of candles has formed on both sides of the pivot. Once confirmed, a horizontal level is created at the swing price and extended to the right.
Because only confirmed pivots are used, historical levels do not repaint.
Pivot Strength
Pivot Strength controls how significant a swing must be before it becomes a level.
A strength of 3 means the pivot candle must have:
- three lower highs (or higher lows) before it
- three lower highs (or higher lows) after it
Higher values filter market noise and identify more significant market structure.
They also produce fewer levels and require longer confirmation.
Lower values detect smaller swings, produce more levels, react faster.
Level Invalidation
Choose how a level is treated once price trades through it.
Wick - Invalidates when price wicks beyond the level.
Close - Invalidates only after a candle closes beyond the level.
Never - Levels remain permanently.
Broken levels can either:
- Stop extending while remaining visible
- Be deleted completely
Hierarchical Visibility
The indicator can automatically display only relevant higher timeframe levels.
For example:
- Weekly levels appear on Weekly and all lower timeframes.
- Daily levels appear on Daily and all lower timeframes.
- 4H levels appear on 4H and lower charts.
This helps reduce clutter when analysing higher timeframe charts.
Notes
- Uses confirmed higher timeframe pivots only.
- Levels are anchored to the original swing candle.
- Designed for support and resistance, market structure, liquidity analysis, and confluence with other tools.
- Works on all symbols and asset classes supported by PulseWire. Indicator
Machine Learning Trend Channels [FEELS]Trend channels placed by a machine learning model (change-point detection) instead of a length you have to guess. The model decides where one period of price behaviour ends and the next begins, how many periods the chart has, and how wide each channel should be. There is no length input anywhere in this script — the whole history comes out as a chain of channels handing over to one another, with no gaps and no overlaps.
FEATURES
- Periods found by an online change-point search, one channel per period, covering the history continuously
- No length setting to guess — the model chooses every boundary and how many periods there are
- The cut score carries no units, so the same setting behaves the same way on a quiet index and on a coin in free fall
- Fitted in log price, so one long trend is not split apart by its own curvature
- Channel width learned from the spread of that period's own bars, not an ATR multiple and not a fixed number of deviations
- Colour from slope measured against the period's own width: up, down, or sideways
- Panel comparing the period now forming with the median of this symbol's own past periods of the same kind
- A closed period is frozen at the moment it closes and is never recalculated
- Alert when a period closes and a new one opens
- Every model parameter, colour and size adjustable, every input has a tooltip
HOW IT WORKS
For the stretch of price it is currently holding, the model asks one question on every closed bar: is this better described by one straight line, or by two?
It scores every possible place to cut that stretch and takes the best one. The score is how much the cut improves the fit, divided by how badly the two resulting lines still fit. That second half is the important part. Dividing by the stretch's own leftover spread is what strips the units out of the number, so a violent market does not get chopped more finely than a calm one merely for being violent. When the score clears the Detail threshold, the left piece is closed permanently and the right piece becomes the new forming period.
Everything is fitted on the logarithm of price. In plain price, one long exponential trend gets broken into a dozen channels purely by its own curvature, which is a measurement artefact rather than market structure.
The width is measured, not assumed. Each channel takes its width from how far its own bars actually strayed from its own line, drawn just wide enough to hold the share you set under "Channel covers". A period whose bars hugged the line is thin; a period that swung around it is wide.
HOW TO READ IT
1. A solid channel is a closed period. Its slope, width and endpoints were fixed the moment it closed. An outlined channel is the period still forming, shown together with the cut the model is currently leaning towards.
2. Colour is slope. A period is called sideways when its whole rise or fall is smaller than its own width, that is, when the drift is smaller than the noise around it.
3. Width is dispersion, not a boundary. A wide channel says that period was noisy. It does not say price will turn there.
4. The panel puts the forming period next to what this symbol's own periods of the same kind have typically looked like. "down, 21 bars, usually 31, moved -14.7%, usually 50.6%" reads as: shorter and far smaller than this symbol's usual decline, so far. The sample count is shown next to it, because five periods is a hint and sixty is a distribution.
ORIGINALITY
Every channel tool on this platform asks you for a length. Fifty bars, two hundred, and the entire picture changes with that one number. The better ones automate it by scanning lengths and keeping the best-fitting window, which still produces a single channel measured backwards from today.
This one treats the chart as a segmentation problem instead. The whole history is a chain of periods that hand over to one another, the boundaries are found rather than set, and the number of periods is an output rather than an input. The scale-free cut criterion, the log-space fitting, the learned width and the comparison of the live period against this symbol's own past periods are written from scratch for this script.
HONESTY
- Closed periods never change. Once a cut is confirmed, that channel's numbers are frozen and the drawing is rebuilt from those frozen numbers, so stepping through bar replay will not move a solid channel.
- The forming period does change, and it is the whole forming period, not only its last few bars. Its cut stays provisional until confirmed, which typically takes twenty to thirty bars after the fact. That is why it is drawn as an outline. Any tool that finds structure behaves this way.
- The channel edges are not support and resistance, and I checked rather than assumed. Asking only about the very next bar, price leaves a band built to hold ninety per cent of its own bars far more often than that width suggests, and the bars that escape go out of the top and the bottom in roughly equal numbers. There is no bounce hiding in the edges.
- Nothing here predicts anything. A closed period is a statement about bars that have already closed.
- The panel medians describe past periods on the current symbol and timeframe. They are not performance figures and small samples move them a great deal, which is why the count is on screen.
- PulseWire allows a script five hundred drawing objects and drops the oldest past that, so only the most recent periods are drawn. Raise "Periods kept on screen" if you want more history covered.
ALERTS
A period closed and a new one opened.
SETTINGS
Every input has a tooltip. The main ones: "Detail" sets how much better two lines must fit than one before a period is closed, and because it carries no units the same value transfers across symbols and timeframes. "Shortest period" and "Longest period" are hard bounds in bars. "Channel covers" is the share of a period's own bars the channel is drawn wide enough to hold. "Call it sideways below" controls how small a move must be, relative to its own width, to be coloured sideways. "Periods kept on screen" trades history for drawing budget.
This is a descriptive tool for reading price structure. It is not financial advice and does not predict price.
