AlgoStorm Institutional Key Levels (IKL)AlgoStorm Institutional Key Levels (IKL)
For US Index Futures and DAX.
An institutional-grade structural mapping tool built on actual Auction Market Theory (AMT) to track the true liquidity and volume nodes across centralized futures markets.
The retail trading industry has heavily distorted the word "institutional," convincing traders that algorithms are hunting their stop-losses at random pivot highs. The reality is far more objective. Real institutions, hedge funds, and market makers rely on definitive, centralized exchange volume, liquidity depth, and execution algorithms (VWAP/TWAP) to scale into positions without causing market impact.
The AlgoStorm Institutional Key Levels (IKL) indicator maps the precise mathematical benchmarks that dictate this capital flow. Designed for markets with centralized volume (CME, Eurex), it plots highly accurate session opens, Opening Ranges, Initial Balances, and Value Areas, stripping away retail noise to provide a professional framework for your intraday bias.
Technical Specifications & Architecture
Supported Markets: Universal application for centralized futures markets including US Indices (ES, NQ, YM, RTY) and European Indices (DAX/FDAX, FDXM).
Supported Timeframes: Designed specifically for 2-minute through 30-minute charts . (Note: Due to the historical buffers required for multi-session mapping, Pine Script will reject timeframes below 2-minutes).
Timezone Mastery: Flawlessly handles Daylight Saving Time (DST) transitions natively. US Futures are bound strictly to America/New_York , while DAX/Eurex Futures are strictly bound to Europe/Berlin .
Fixed-Pool Drawing Engine: Most level indicators suffer from memory bloat and chart lag due to constant object creation and garbage collection limits. The IKL utilizes a highly optimized "fixed-pool" architecture. Lines and labels are generated only once on the first bar and recycled dynamically.
Smart Label Stagger: Features a forward-pass algorithm that detects and pushes overlapping labels apart (user-adjustable separation), ensuring your chart remains pristine regardless of price compression.
US Futures Mapping (ES / NQ / YM / RTY)
All inputs trigger based on standard America/New_York session times.
Globex Structure: Previous Day High/Low (Full 18:00–17:00 session) and Overnight High/Low (18:00 to 09:30 ET).
RTH Anchors: Previous Day Close (PDC) locked exactly at the 16:00 ET cash close, and the RTH Open (09:30 ET) held all day.
Gap Fill Zone: Automatically draws an asynchronous highlight box between the PDC and current RTH open if an unfilled gap of more than 2 ticks exists.
Auction Metrics: 15-minute Opening Range (09:30–09:45 ET) and the standard Initial Balance (09:30–10:30 ET) with optional 100%, 150%, and 200% IB extension bands.
Eurex / DAX Futures Mapping (FDAX / FDXM)
A complete, standalone module built for the complex, multi-open nature of European futures. Based on Europe/Berlin time.
Asian / Pre-London Phase: Tracks Eurex overnight high/low from 01:00 CET until Frankfurt liquidity arrives at 08:00 CET.
Euro / Frankfurt Session: Plots the 08:00 CET Open and the 30-minute Euro Opening Range (08:00–08:30 CET).
Xetra Cash Session: Plots the definitive Xetra Open (09:00 CET), Xetra OPR (09:00–09:30 CET), and the Previous Xetra Close (17:30 CET) which acts as the DAX equivalent to the US PDC.
US Open Impact: Captures the 15:30 CET open and 30-minute OPR, marking the massive liquidity injection when US equity markets open.
Execution & Volume Mechanics
Algorithmic VWAPs: Plots the exact Daily and Session VWAP bands used by institutional execution desks to grade their fills. Features a full Globex Daily VWAP (resets 18:00 ET), a localized NY VWAP (resets 09:30 ET), and a dedicated Xetra VWAP (resets 09:00 CET).
Custom Value Area Engine: Features a built-in, manual array-based Volume Profile engine. It calculates the Point of Control (POC) and Value Area High/Low (VAH/VAL) for both RTH and Xetra sessions independently, bypassing standard Pine Script volume limitations. Users can customize the Value Area % and price-row tick size.

AMT Order Flow Suite v2.2AMT Order Flow Suite v2.2 — CVD · Delta · VWAP · Session Levels · Virgin POC
A complete Auction Market Theory order flow indicator built for XAUUSD (Gold), combining Cumulative Volume Delta, per-bar delta, session-anchored VWAP, intraday Point of Control, Value Area levels, Virgin POC detection, and Failed Auction signals — all in one script.
Developed and validated against 1.3 million ticks of raw XAUUSD price data across multiple weeks of live session analysis. Everything you see on the chart is derived from actual volume and delta, not price patterns alone.
WHAT IT SHOWS
Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD)
The core of the indicator. CVD accumulates signed volume throughout each session — positive when buyers are aggressive, negative when sellers dominate. Resets at the start of every new session so you always see the current day's order flow in isolation. An EMA signal line rides on top — when CVD crosses below its signal, bias turns bearish; above it, bullish. The fill colour shifts green/red to make the bias instantly readable.
CVD Divergence Labels
When price makes a new session high but CVD fails to confirm (DIST label) — that is distribution: institutions selling into retail buying. When price makes a new session low but CVD holds up (ABS label) — that is absorption: buyers stepping in as price flushes stops. These are the two highest-conviction signals in the indicator. Both are validated against real tick data.
Per-Bar Delta Histogram
Shows the signed volume of every individual bar — how hard buyers or sellers hit at that exact moment. Weighted by bar body ratio so doji bars don't falsely signal. High-volume bars are flagged with a marker. Absorption bars (high volume + tight range — the classic sign of an iceberg order defending a level) are marked with a diamond.
Session-Anchored VWAP with Standard Deviation Bands
VWAP resets each session and is calculated from the true volume-weighted average price. The ±1σ bands approximate the 70% Value Area — the zone where most of the day's business occurred. The ±2σ bands mark the outer extremes. Price extended beyond ±2σ with declining CVD is one of the strongest mean-reversion signals available.
Intraday POC (Point of Control)
Tracks the price level with the highest volume of the current session in real time. The POC is drawn as a dashed gold line extending right. This is the fair value anchor — price gravitates back to it repeatedly throughout the session and into the next day.
Value Area High (VAH) and Value Area Low (VAL)
Derived from the VWAP standard deviation bands. VAH = VWAP +1σ, VAL = VWAP -1σ. These are the boundaries of accepted value. Price breaking outside them and failing to hold is the definition of a Failed Auction — the primary trade setup this indicator is built around.
Virgin POC Detection
Tracks the POC of the previous two sessions. If price has not returned to a prior session's POC since that session ended, that level is "virgin" — untouched high-volume ground. When price finally reaches it, a circle marker appears on the chart (VP for 1-session-old, VP2 for 2-session-old). Virgin POCs produce the strongest reactions of any level because they contain trapped participants at their cost basis. Lines for VP1 and VP2 are drawn on the chart automatically each session and the live price levels are shown in the info table.
Failed Auction Signals (FA↑ / FA↓)
A Failed Auction occurs when price spikes outside the Value Area then returns back inside, rejecting the breakout. FA↑ (triangle up, below bar) fires when price has recently been below VAL and recovered back into value with positive delta and CVD above its signal line — buyers reclaimed the level. FA↓ (triangle down, above bar) fires when price has been above VAH and falls back with negative delta and CVD below its signal line — sellers rejected the breakout. Both signals are confirmed by CVD direction, not price alone.
Session Backgrounds and Open Labels
Asia (purple), London (gold), and NY (green) session backgrounds so you can instantly see which session produced which price action. LON and NY open labels appear at the exact opening bar of each session.
Live Info Table
Top-right corner dashboard showing: Session CVD, CVD Bias (BULL/BEAR), current bar delta, volume ratio, distance from VWAP, live POC price, VAH and VAL prices, current session name, active signal (if any), and the live levels of VP1 and VP2. Everything you need to read order flow without switching panes.
ALERT CONDITIONS (9 total)
✅ FA Long — Failed Auction long signal fired
✅ FA Short — Failed Auction short signal fired
✅ Bearish CVD Divergence — price new high, CVD not confirming (distribution)
✅ Bullish CVD Divergence — price new low, CVD not confirming (absorption)
✅ Absorption Detected — high volume + tight range at current bar
✅ Virgin POC Touch (1 session) — price reaching yesterday's untouched POC
✅ Virgin POC Touch (2 sessions) — price reaching 2-session-old POC (higher conviction)
✅ London Open — session beginning, watch for stop-hunt then direction
✅ NY Open — key session, trend continuation or reversal hour
SETTINGS
Timezone — set to your broker's chart timezone (default: Europe/London)
London / NY open hours — adjustable so the session labels and alerts fire at the correct time for your data feed
CVD Signal EMA length — controls how responsive the signal line is (default 20)
Volume average length — lookback for the volume ratio and absorption calculations
High-volume threshold — the multiple above average volume that triggers the high-vol flag
Absorption range ratio — how tight a bar's range must be relative to average to qualify as absorption
Level lookback — how many bars the POC tracker uses
All colours — fully customisable: bull, bear, CVD line, POC, VAH, VAL, VWAP, Virgin POC, absorption
HOW TO USE IT
Add to a 1-minute or 5-minute XAUUSD chart. Set your timezone to match your broker's data feed. The CVD pane appears below the chart automatically — if you only want the overlay elements on the main chart, right-click the pane and move or close it.
Each morning before London opens: note the POC, VAH, and VAL from the previous session (visible as dashed lines). Note the VP1 and VP2 levels in the info table — these are your virgin reaction zones for the day.
During London and NY: watch the CVD fill. Green fill above zero with price near VAL = look for FA↑. Red fill below zero with price near VAH = look for FA↓. DIST label at a new price high = distribution, shorts favoured. ABS label at a new price low = absorption, longs favoured.
NOTES
Works on any instrument with volume data but was designed and tested specifically on XAUUSD spot (Gold). The POC and Value Area are approximated using a session-anchored VWAP standard deviation method — this keeps the indicator fast and free of the loop timeout errors that affect bin-based volume profile calculations in Pine Script. For tick-perfect volume profiles, combine with TradingView's built-in Session Volume Profile tool.
Built on Pine Script v6. No repainting. All calculations are bar-confirmed. インジケーター
Nocturne Auction Atlas [JOAT]Nocturne Auction Atlas
Introduction
Nocturne Auction Atlas is an open-source auction-mapping indicator that studies session VWAP, developing volume distribution, value areas, imbalance shelves, estimated CVD, divergence, and auction quality. It is designed to show where price is accepting value, rejecting value, or interacting with unfinished auction references.
Core Concepts
1. Session Auction Framework
The script resets during a new session and tracks session high, low, VWAP, and developing volume distribution.
2. Developing Volume Profile
Price is divided into rows. Each row accumulates estimated volume to identify the point of control, value area high, and value area low.
3. Estimated CVD
CVD is estimated from candle body position, close location, and volume. This is not exchange-level bid/ask data, but it provides a consistent pressure proxy.
4. Divergence Detection
Pivot-confirmed price swings are compared against estimated CVD swings to identify bullish or bearish divergence.
5. Imbalance Shelves
Rows with strong buy or sell imbalance are marked as auction shelves. These shelves can help identify areas where pressure was concentrated.
Features
Session VWAP and bands: Tracks intraday auction center and deviations
Developing profile: Builds POC and value area from recent session data
Imbalance shelves: Highlights rows with strong bid or ask imbalance
Estimated CVD: Uses candle-derived volume pressure
Divergence logic: Pivot-confirmed CVD divergence events
Naked POC memory: Tracks unfinished prior auction references
Dashboard: Shows auction state, quality, delta, POC, value area, and shelf state
Input Parameters
Session Bars Used controls how many bars feed the profile
Profile Rows controls profile granularity
Value Area controls the percentage of volume included in value
Quality Gate controls signal sensitivity
Shelf Gate controls imbalance shelf detection
How to Use This Indicator
Step 1: Read auction location
Use VWAP, POC, VAH, and VAL to understand whether price is trading near value or outside value.
Step 2: Watch shelves
Imbalance shelves identify price rows where estimated pressure was concentrated.
Step 3: Interpret divergences carefully
Divergence requires confirmed pivots and is naturally delayed. It is context, not a prediction.
Indicator Limitations
Profile calculations are approximations based on chart bars
CVD is estimated from candles and volume, not true bid/ask transactions
Pivot divergence confirms after pivot bars have passed
High row counts and long sessions can increase script workload
Originality Statement
Nocturne Auction Atlas combines session VWAP, developing profile rows, imbalance shelves, estimated CVD, divergence, and unfinished auction references into one chart framework. The components are designed to explain auction state rather than simply plot volume levels.
Disclaimer
This indicator is provided for educational and informational purposes only. It is not financial advice. Auction references can fail, and volume approximations can differ from real order-flow data.

Kairo Pressure Reversal [JOAT]Kairo Pressure Reversal
Introduction
Kairo Pressure Reversal is an open-source pressure-tensor study that maps how candle structure, volume, volatility stress, entropy, and pressure curvature interact. It is not a conventional POC or value-area script. Its purpose is to identify pressure shocks, curvature reversions, and compression states as market-context events.
Core Concepts
1. Pressure Atom
Each candle is converted into a signed pressure value using close location, body direction, wick balance, and volume.
pressureAtom = (signedRange * 0.42 + bodyImpulse * 0.42 + wickBalance * 0.16) * volume
2. Pressure Tensor
The pressure atom is normalized by recent absolute pressure and smoothed. This produces the main pressure tensor used throughout the indicator.
3. Curvature and Jerk
The script calculates pressure velocity, curvature, and jerk. These values show how quickly pressure is changing rather than simply whether pressure is positive or negative.
4. Entropy
Bid and ask energy are converted into an entropy score. Higher entropy means pressure is more balanced. Lower entropy means one side is more dominant.
5. Stress Bands
ATR and pressure stress expand or contract the tensor bands. Events occur when price and pressure move into stressed areas with sufficient curvature.
Features
Pressure tensor: Normalized pressure model derived from candle structure and volume
Curvature analysis: Tracks pressure velocity, curvature, and jerk
Entropy score: Measures bid/ask balance
Volatility stress rank: Uses ATR and range ranking to identify stressed conditions
Shock cells: Compact boxes mark bid shocks, ask shocks, and reversion events
Tensor bands: Adaptive bands visualize pressure expansion and stress
Dashboard: Shows tensor, stress, entropy, curvature, jerk, and current event state
Input Parameters
Tensor memory controls pressure normalization
Entropy memory controls bid/ask energy balance
Stress rank memory controls volatility ranking
Shock gate controls event sensitivity
Reversion gate controls curvature reversion sensitivity
How to Use This Indicator
Step 1: Read the tensor direction
Positive tensor values indicate bid-side pressure; negative values indicate ask-side pressure.
Step 2: Watch stress and entropy
High stress with low entropy suggests one-sided pressure. High entropy suggests balance or compression.
Step 3: Treat cells as context
Shock and reversion cells mark pressure events. They are not standalone trade recommendations.
Indicator Limitations
Volume-based pressure is an approximation from chart candles, not true order flow
Curvature events can occur during volatility spikes that do not continue
The indicator provides context, not certain reversal points
Originality Statement
Kairo Pressure Reversal is original in its combined use of candle-derived pressure, entropy, curvature, jerk, volatility stress, and compact event cells. It focuses on pressure behavior rather than standard oscillator thresholds.
Disclaimer
This indicator is provided for educational and informational purposes only. It is not financial advice. Pressure events can fail or persist longer than expected. Always use independent analysis and proper risk management.

Opening Auction Ledger [JOAT]Opening Auction Ledger
Introduction
Opening Auction Ledger is an open-source session framework built to standardize how the opening range is measured, locked, evaluated, and managed throughout the day.
The indicator is designed around a simple institutional question:
Once the opening auction is complete, is price accepting away from it or failing back into it?
The script answers that by combining:
session-specific opening range capture
high-low or body-based range construction
breakout qualification
relative volume confirmation
objective extension ladders
session profile rendering
adaptive continuation trail management
historical breakout tracking in a dashboard
This makes the opening range usable as more than a static box.
It becomes a complete session ledger.
Core Concepts
1. Opening Range Capture
The script builds the opening range only during the specified session window and then locks that range when the session ends.
This preserves a fixed reference for the rest of the day.
2. Source Flexibility
Users can define the opening range using raw highs and lows or candle bodies.
This changes how strict the opening auction frame is and can make the indicator more stable on noisy instruments.
3. Qualified Breakout Detection
Breaks are not accepted simply because price crosses a range boundary.
The script can require a minimum displacement beyond the range and, optionally, a relative-volume lift compared with recent activity.
4. Objective Laddering
Once a breakout is confirmed, the script projects three extension objectives above and below the opening range using multiples of the locked range size.
5. Continuation Management
An adaptive ATR trail follows the accepted breakout so continuation quality can be monitored after the initial move is underway.
Features
Configurable opening session: user-defined session window and timezone
Opening range lock: session range freezes after the auction ends
Body or high-low source mode: choose the structure used to build the range
Relative-volume breakout filter: optional confirmation prevents weaker breaks from being counted
Minimum displacement filter: breakout must exceed a configurable fraction of the locked range
Extension ladder: three upside and three downside objectives
Session profile: profile-style rendering of activity inside the opening auction
Continuation trail: adaptive ATR trail tracks accepted move quality
Historical outcome counters: dashboard tracks breakout counts and objective hit rates
Institutional dashboard: top-right summary of session state, range size, direction, and objective performance

How to Use This Indicator
Step 1: Wait for the Range to Lock
Do not treat the opening range as final until the configured auction window is complete.
Before that point, the frame is still forming.
Step 2: Measure the Quality of the First Break
The first breakout matters most when it clears the minimum displacement rule and is supported by the configured relative-volume threshold.
Step 3: Use the Ladder as an Objective Map
The projected targets are not predictions.
They are structured expansion references derived from the opening range itself.
Step 4: Follow the Trail for Acceptance
The continuation trail helps determine whether price is still accepting away from the opening auction or beginning to fail back toward it.
Step 5: Review the Dashboard Statistics
The dashboard can help users understand how often objective ladders are being reached under the current settings and instrument behavior.
Indicator Limitations
The usefulness of the opening range depends heavily on the selected session and market traded
Relative-volume logic is chart-volume based and depends on the instrument's available volume series
Very narrow opening ranges can create closely spaced objectives in low-volatility sessions
A qualified breakout can still fail quickly in event-driven or thin-liquidity conditions
Originality Statement
Opening Auction Ledger extends the classic opening-range idea into a broader session framework by combining range locking, breakout qualification, objective ladders, profile context, continuation management, and outcome tracking in a single open-source script.
Disclaimer
This indicator is provided for educational and informational purposes only.
It is not investment advice and does not guarantee that any breakout or target sequence will succeed.
All calculations are based on historical chart data and should be interpreted with appropriate risk management and independent analysis.

Auction Lattice Reserve [JOAT]Auction Lattice Reserve
Introduction
Auction Lattice Reserve is an open-source auction-context indicator built to classify where price is trading relative to accepted value. It maps a fixed-lookback volume distribution, calculates Point of Control and Value Area boundaries, scores the current auction state, and then projects that information back onto the chart using profile slices, equilibrium bands, acceptance boxes, and an optional confirmed-bar TP/SL scaffold.
The main problem this script solves is location. Many directional tools can detect trend, but they do not explain whether price is trading above value, below value, or rotating around equilibrium. Auction Lattice Reserve provides that context directly from a rolling auction profile and combines it with trend and volume expansion scoring so the user can distinguish balance, markup, and distribution states.
Core Concepts
1. Fixed-Range Auction Profile
The script scans a configurable lookback window, divides the price span into bins, and apportions each candle's volume into the bins it overlaps. This creates a rolling distribution of where volume was accepted:
int firstBin = math.max(0, math.min(auctionBins - 1, math.floor((localLow - auctionLow) / auctionBin)))
int lastBin = math.max(0, math.min(auctionBins - 1, math.floor((localHigh - auctionLow) / auctionBin)))
2. Point of Control and Value Area
The highest-volume bin becomes the Point of Control. Value Area is expanded outward from the POC until the chosen percentage of total profile volume is captured. This makes the script useful for identifying accepted value and dislocation:
auctionPoc := auctionLow + (auctionPocBin + 0.5) * auctionBin
auctionVaLow := auctionLow + leftBin * auctionBin
auctionVaHigh := auctionLow + (rightBin + 1.0) * auctionBin
3. Auction State Scoring
The indicator does not rely on value alone. It blends distance from POC, trend spread, and short-vs-long volume expansion into an auction score. This creates a more robust state engine than simply checking whether price is above or below the value area.
4. Acceptance and Rejection Context
Price trading outside the value area for consecutive confirmed bars is treated as accepted migration rather than a brief probe. When acceptance is confirmed, the script can project an acceptance box forward and optionally build a TP/SL ladder from the event.
5. Institutional Visualization
The script uses right-side profile slices, layered clouds around value, an equilibrium band, candle-state coloring, and a compact top-right dashboard instead of retail-style arrows or decorative markers.
Features
Rolling auction profile: Fixed-lookback volume profile rendered at the right edge of the chart
Point of Control and Value Area: POC, VA High, and VA Low plotted directly on price
Auction score: Blends volume expansion, trend spread, and distance from equilibrium
Equilibrium band: Mid-band around POC for visual balance context
Acceptance boxes: Forward-projected boxes when price confirms value acceptance above or below the value area
Optional TP/SL scaffold: Confirmed-bar entry, stop, TP1, TP2, TP3 rails with risk/reward fill
Top-right dashboard: Shows current state, POC, value location, volume pressure, trend, and score
Dark-mode visual design: Layered teal, rose, and gold tones tailored to auction concepts
How to Use This Indicator
Step 1: Check whether price is above value, below value, or inside value.
Step 2: Review the auction score and dashboard state. Strong positive values indicate markup pressure. Strong negative values indicate distribution or liquidation pressure.
Step 3: Watch for acceptance boxes. These show that price is no longer only probing value but may be migrating to a new area of acceptance.
Step 4: Use the optional TP/SL scaffold only as a contextual planning aid. It is not a promise of outcome.
Indicator Limitations
Because the profile is rolling, value levels adapt over time and are not static
A short lookback can make the auction map overly sensitive in volatile markets
Acceptance logic requires confirmed bars, so some moves will already be underway when the state changes
The TP/SL scaffold is informational and does not execute trades
Originality Statement
Auction Lattice Reserve is original in the way it combines a rolling auction profile, an equilibrium band, value-acceptance migration logic, and an institutional-style execution scaffold into one open-source indicator. The publication is intended to provide a reusable context layer for traders who want value-based location rather than a standalone entry system.
Disclaimer
This indicator is provided for educational and informational purposes only. It is not financial advice or a recommendation to buy or sell any financial instrument. Auction context and value-area behavior are derived from historical price and volume data and do not guarantee future results. Always use independent judgment and risk management.

Crownmark Allocation Engine [JOAT]Crownmark Allocation Engine
Introduction
Crownmark Allocation Engine is an open-source TradingView strategy that integrates regime classification, adaptive trend corridors, auction-value context, pressure confirmation, divergence suppression, and ATR-based trade management into one non-repainting framework. Its purpose is not to maximize signal count. Its purpose is to require multiple independent layers to agree before risk is deployed.
The problem this strategy solves is overcommitting to one analytical dimension. Trend alone can be late. Pressure alone can be noisy. Divergence alone can fire too early. Auction context alone does not create an entry. Crownmark combines those ideas so that entries occur only when broader regime, local structure, value position, and internal participation are aligned.
Core Concepts
1. Regime Filter First
The strategy begins with a composite regime score built from fast/slow EMA displacement, ADX strength via `ta.dmi()`, efficiency, volatility expansion, and trend slope. If the regime is not sufficiently directional, the strategy does not permit an entry.
2. Adaptive Corridor Pullback Entry
Once regime bias is directional, price must also align with an adaptive KAMA-based corridor. Longs require bullish corridor structure and a pullback that remains constructive relative to the baseline and inner band. Shorts require the mirror condition on the downside.
3. Auction and VWAP Context
Price must be positioned acceptably relative to a rolling value area and rolling VWAP. This is intended to keep entries from triggering in structurally poor locations when the rest of the model is favorable.
4. Pressure Confirmation and Divergence Guard
The strategy uses an effort-versus-result style pressure model to require directional initiative at the moment of entry. It also suppresses entries when recent confirmed divergence argues against the trade direction.
5. Managed Exits
Open positions use ATR-based stop loss and take profit levels, plus a trailing logic anchored to the adaptive baseline. Positions can also be closed by context failure, by opposite signal, or by maximum bar duration in trade.
Features
Composite regime filter: Trend, ADX, volatility, slope, and efficiency must support the direction
Adaptive corridor entries: Uses a KAMA baseline with hybrid ATR/stdev width
Auction location filter: Requires acceptable relation to rolling value area and VWAP
Pressure confirmation: Requires directional effort-versus-result support
Divergence suppression: Recent opposing divergence can block new entries
ATR-based risk management: Stop, target, and trailing logic
Context exits: Positions can flatten when regime or pressure collapses

How to Use This Strategy
Step 1: Verify the Market Type
If the regime score is near balance, the strategy is intentionally selective. Crownmark is designed for directional conditions more than rotational ones.
Step 2: Let the Entry Layers Stack
An entry requires regime, corridor, auction, pressure, and divergence conditions to agree. If one layer is missing, the strategy waits.
Step 3: Respect the Exit Logic
The strategy uses both price-based and context-based exits. A position can close because the stop or target was reached, but it can also close because the original trade thesis has weakened.
Step 4: Review Results in Context
Do not evaluate the strategy by win rate alone. Regime selectivity, trade duration, average excursion, commission sensitivity, and the instrument being tested all matter.
Strategy Limitations
This strategy uses bar-close logic and does not replicate intrabar execution behavior
The rolling auction model is a simplified proxy and not a full market profile engine
Divergence suppression can skip trades that later work, by design
Different assets and timeframes may require threshold tuning to remain realistic
Originality Statement
Crownmark Allocation Engine is original in how it combines regime scoring, corridor structure, auction-value location, pressure confirmation, and divergence suppression into one coordinated execution model. The strategy is not a basic trend-following template with cosmetic additions. Each layer has a distinct analytical role, and entries are only allowed when those layers support one another.
Disclaimer
This strategy is provided for educational and informational purposes only. It is not financial advice and does not imply future performance. Backtest results depend heavily on instrument, timeframe, execution assumptions, and historical conditions. Use realistic expectations, confirm settings carefully, and apply sound risk management.

Volume Flow Analysis [UAlgo]Volume Flow Analysis is a market profile style volume study that builds a session anchored volume distribution, extracts key reference levels from the previous profile, and generates institutional style context signals based on Auction Market Theory concepts. The script combines several workflows in one tool: previous session volume profile levels (POC, VAH, VAL), liquidity void detection through LVN valleys, acceptance versus rejection logic around value, and Initial Balance with open type classification.
The indicator runs on price ( overlay=true ) and is designed for intraday or swing traders who want a structured read of where value formed in the prior profile and how the current session is interacting with it. Instead of only plotting static lines, the script actively interprets behavior when price moves outside the previous value area. It checks whether the move is rejected quickly (failed auction) or sustained with time and volume (acceptance), which helps distinguish responsive activity from initiative activity.
Another major component is the profile shape and liquidity void framework. The script identifies previous profile shape as P, b, or D based on POC location within the profile range, and it scans for LVN valleys that can act as low participation zones where price may travel quickly. This gives the user both structural context and event based signals from the same indicator.
The result is a comprehensive volume flow dashboard that merges profile levels, session behavior, and AMT inspired signal logic into a single chart layer.
🔹 Features
🔸 1) Anchored Session Volume Profile (Daily, Weekly, Monthly or Custom Anchor)
The script builds a volume profile for each anchor period selected by the user through the Profile Period (Anchor) input. Common choices include Daily, Weekly, and Monthly anchors. When a new anchor session begins, the current session profile is finalized and promoted to the previous profile, then a new profile begins.
This allows the indicator to continuously reference the fully calculated previous profile while the current session is developing.
🔸 2) Price Range Binning with User Defined Resolution
Each session profile is divided into a configurable number of rows (bins). The script maps price activity into these bins and distributes volume proportionally based on the overlap between each candle range and each volume bin.
This creates a more realistic histogram than assigning all candle volume to a single price level, especially for wide range candles.
🔸 3) Previous Profile Core Levels (POC, VAH, VAL)
Once a session completes, the script calculates and stores the key profile levels:
POC (Point of Control), the price bin with the highest volume
VAH (Value Area High)
VAL (Value Area Low)
Value Area is computed by expanding outward from the POC until the chosen percentage of total profile volume is covered. These levels are then plotted on the chart as dynamic reference lines for the next session.
🔸 4) Acceptance vs Rejection Logic Around Previous Value Area
The indicator monitors current session behavior relative to the previous VAH and VAL and classifies behavior as either rejection (failed auction) or acceptance (initiative drive).
Failed Auction (Rejection):
Price trades outside the previous value area but returns back inside before meeting acceptance criteria. This is treated as a failed attempt to establish new value.
Acceptance (Initiative Drive):
Price stays outside the previous value area for a user defined number of bars and accumulates enough volume relative to average volume. This suggests successful acceptance of higher or lower value.
This framework is useful for separating temporary probes from meaningful value migration.
🔸 5) Institutional Style Signal Labels
The script can display signal labels for:
Failed Auction Bullish and Bearish
Acceptance Bullish and Bearish
LVN Traversal Bullish and Bearish
These labels appear directly on price and use user defined bullish and bearish colors for quick interpretation.
🔸 6) LVN Traversal (Liquidity Void / Vacuum) Detection
The script detects low volume nodes as true local valleys in the previous profile histogram. A bin qualifies as an LVN when surrounding bins on both sides have higher volume for a chosen valley depth.
If current price enters one of these prior LVN zones from above or below, the script marks a potential traversal event. This can help identify zones where price may move faster due to lower prior participation.
🔸 7) Previous Profile Shape Classification (P, b, D)
The script classifies the previous profile shape based on where the POC sits within the full profile range:
P shape if POC is near the upper portion of the profile
b shape if POC is near the lower portion
D shape if POC is near the middle
This gives quick context about the prior session structure, which can support directional bias interpretation and session planning.
🔸 8) Initial Balance (IB) Tracking
The indicator tracks the Initial Balance range using a user defined duration in minutes. During the IB window, it records session high and low. After the IB period ends, it can draw an IB box on the chart for visual reference.
This is useful for intraday frameworks where the IB range is used as a key reference for breakout, reversal, and auction development.
🔸 9) Open Type Classification and Daily Bias
At the start of each new anchor session, the script compares the new open to the previous value area and assigns a basic daily bias such as initiative bullish, initiative bearish, or responsive inside. After the IB period completes, it classifies the open type using rule based conditions, including:
Open Drive Bullish / Bearish
Open Rejection Reverse Bullish / Bearish
Open Test Drive Bullish / Bearish
This adds a session narrative layer on top of the profile levels.
🔸 10) Previous Profile Histogram Visualization on Last Bar
On the last bar, the script can render the previous profile histogram as a horizontal bar style distribution using boxes. Bins inside the previous value area can be colored differently from bins outside value.
This provides an at a glance visual summary of where prior volume concentrated, without needing a separate profile tool.
🔸 11) Extensive Visual Customization
Users can configure colors for:
Previous POC
Previous VA levels
Histogram bins
Value area histogram bins
Bullish signals
Bearish signals
This makes it easy to integrate the indicator into existing chart themes and workflows.
🔸 12) Structured Object Based Design
The script uses custom types ( VolumeBin and SessionProfile ) to store profile state, bins, levels, shape, and LVN zones. This object based approach keeps the logic modular and easier to maintain as features are added.
🔹 Calculations
1) Session Detection and Profile Lifecycle
A new profile session is detected with:
bool isNewSession = timeframe.change(i_anchor)
When a new session begins:
The current profile is finalized (end bar, profile calculations)
The current profile becomes the previous profile
A fresh session profile starts from the current bar
This design ensures that current session logic can reference a fully completed previous profile with stable POC, VAH, VAL, shape, and LVN data.
2) Volume Profile Bin Initialization
Each session profile is divided into i_rows equal price bins between session low and session high:
float step = (this.highestPrice - this.lowestPrice) / rows
for i = 0 to rows - 1
float bottom = this.lowestPrice + (i * step)
float top = bottom + step
this.bins.push(VolumeBin.new(top, bottom, 0.0))
As the current session high or low changes, the script rebuilds the current profile bins and repopulates volume from session start to the current bar. This keeps the current profile geometry aligned with the latest session range.
3) Proportional Volume Distribution Across Bins
For each candle, the script distributes volume across all bins according to candle range overlap:
float overlapTop = math.min(h, bin.priceTop)
float overlapBottom = math.max(l, bin.priceBottom)
if overlapTop > overlapBottom
float overlapRatio = (overlapTop - overlapBottom) / barRange
float volToAdd = v * overlapRatio
bin.volumeTotal += volToAdd
this.totalVolume += volToAdd
Interpretation:
Volume is allocated proportionally to the fraction of the candle range overlapping each price bin. This is a practical approximation of intrabar volume distribution across price.
Special handling exists for zero range candles, where volume is assigned to the bin containing the candle price.
4) POC Detection and Profile Max Volume
After session completion, the script scans all bins to find the highest volume bin:
for i = 0 to this.bins.size() - 1
VolumeBin bin = this.bins.get(i)
if bin.volumeTotal > maxVol
maxVol := bin.volumeTotal
pocIndex := i
The POC price is set to the midpoint of that bin:
this.pocPrice := (pocBin.priceTop + pocBin.priceBottom) / 2
The script also stores maxVolume , which is later used to scale histogram width display on the chart.
5) Value Area Calculation (VAH / VAL)
The Value Area is built by expanding outward from the POC until the target percentage of session volume is reached:
float targetVol = this.totalVolume * (vaPct / 100.0)
float currentVol = pocBin.volumeTotal
int upperIndex = pocIndex
int lowerIndex = pocIndex
At each step, the script compares the next upper and lower bin volumes and expands toward the larger volume side first. This continues until the cumulative value area volume reaches the target percentage.
Final levels:
this.vahPrice := this.bins.get(upperIndex).priceTop
this.valPrice := this.bins.get(lowerIndex).priceBottom
This is a standard volume profile style value area expansion method centered on POC.
6) Previous Profile Shape Classification (P, b, D)
The profile shape is inferred from the POC position inside the profile range:
float profileRange = this.highestPrice - this.lowestPrice
float pocPosPct = (this.pocPrice - this.lowestPrice) / profileRange
Classification logic:
P shape if POC is at or above 70 percent of the range
b shape if POC is at or below 30 percent
D shape otherwise
This is a simplified but practical shape proxy based on volume concentration location.
7) LVN (Liquidity Void) Valley Detection
The script identifies LVNs as local volume minima among profile bins, using a user defined valley depth i_lvnDepth . A bin is treated as an LVN if the bins on both sides for the specified depth all have greater volume:
for j = 1 to lvnDepth
if this.bins.get(i - j).volumeTotal <= currentBin.volumeTotal or this.bins.get(i + j).volumeTotal <= currentBin.volumeTotal
isValley := false
break
Only non zero volume bins are considered. Detected LVNs are stored in this.lvnZones for use in later traversal signals.
8) Initial Balance (IB) Calculation
At the start of a new session, the script resets IB state and starts tracking the session open, session start time, and current IB high and low. While the market is still inside the IB duration:
ibHigh := math.max(ibHigh, high)
ibLow := math.min(ibLow, low)
IB tracking ends once the elapsed time exceeds the configured duration in minutes:
if (time - sessionStartTime) >= i_ibMins * 60000
inIb := false
This produces the opening range used for later visualization and open type classification.
9) Daily Bias and Open Type Classification
At each new session open, the script sets a basic bias by comparing the session open to the previous value area:
Open above previous VAH suggests initiative bullish
Open below previous VAL suggests initiative bearish
Open inside previous value suggests responsive / inside
After the IB period ends, the script classifies the open type using rule based comparisons among:
Open location relative to previous VAH / VAL
Close relative to IB highs and lows
Intraday test and rejection behavior around prior value
Examples from the code include:
"Open-Drive Bullish"
"Open-Rejection-Reverse Bearish"
"Open-Test-Drive Bullish"
This gives a structured session narrative that aligns with many profile and AMT workflows.
10) Acceptance vs Failed Auction Logic (Above VAH)
The script tracks consecutive bars and cumulative volume when price closes above the previous VAH:
if close > prevVah
barsAboveVah += 1
volAboveVah += volume
If price returns inside value before acceptance is confirmed, it prints a failed auction bearish signal (fade breakout logic):
if barsAboveVah > 0 and not acceptedAbove and i_sigFailedAuc
isFailedAucBear := true
Acceptance bullish is confirmed only if both time and volume thresholds are satisfied:
if barsAboveVah >= i_accBars and volAboveVah >= (avgVol * i_accVolMult) and not acceptedAbove and i_sigAccept
acceptedAbove := true
isAcceptBull := true
This is a practical combination of time and participation filters, which reduces false acceptance signals from brief low volume excursions.
11) Acceptance vs Failed Auction Logic (Below VAL)
The same framework is applied below the previous VAL:
Tracking closes below VAL:
if close < prevVal
barsBelowVal += 1
volBelowVal += volume
Failed auction bullish if price returns inside before acceptance:
if barsBelowVal > 0 and not acceptedBelow and i_sigFailedAuc
isFailedAucBull := true
Acceptance bearish if time and volume thresholds are met:
if barsBelowVal >= i_accBars and volBelowVal >= (avgVol * i_accVolMult) and not acceptedBelow and i_sigAccept
acceptedBelow := true
isAcceptBear := true
This creates a symmetric AMT style signal model for both sides of value.
12) LVN Traversal Signal Logic
If LVN traversal signaling is enabled, the script checks whether price enters a previous LVN zone from outside:
Bullish traversal candidate when price enters the LVN from below
Bearish traversal candidate when price enters the LVN from above
Code logic example:
if close > lvn.priceBottom and close < lvn.priceTop and close < lvn.priceBottom
isLvnTravBull := true
This flags the moment price enters a potential liquidity void zone where faster movement may occur.
13) Previous Profile Histogram Rendering on Last Bar
On the last chart bar, the script draws the previous session histogram using boxes. Width is normalized by each bin volume relative to the profile max volume:
float widthRatio = bin.volumeTotal / previousProfile.maxVolume
int boxRight = bar_index + math.round((rightBar - bar_index) * widthRatio)
Bins inside VAH and VAL are colored using the value area histogram color, while other bins use the general histogram color. This gives a compact visual profile snapshot without external tools.
14) Dynamic Plots for Previous POC, VAH, and VAL
The previous profile reference levels are continuously plotted as line break style plots:
plot(plotPoc, "Prev POC", color=i_colPoc, linewidth=2, style=plot.style_linebr)
plot(plotVah, "Prev VAH", color=i_colVa, linewidth=1, style=plot.style_linebr)
plot(plotVal, "Prev VAL", color=i_colVa, linewidth=1, style=plot.style_linebr)
These lines provide stable reference levels throughout the current session and form the basis for the acceptance, rejection, and open type logic. インジケーター
Auction Weighted Support and Resistance [Metrify]This script builds an “auction-weighted” S/R map that’s intentionally closer to a microstructure proxy than a classic “draw pivots → draw lines” approach.
The core idea: treat repeated interactions around the same price as evidence of auction behavior (acceptance vs rejection), then compress that behavior into a small set of ranked horizontal zones per horizon. Instead of outputting dozens of levels, it runs a selection pass to keep only the strongest, spatially distinct levels.
Candidate discovery is pivot-driven, but not used naively. The script collects pivot highs/lows into rolling buffers for three horizons (Micro/Short/Medium) with different pivot lengths and memory caps. Those candidates don’t become “levels” directly; they’re just seeds that get clustered and rescored. Clustering is ATR-normalized (distance measured in ATR multiples), so the same logic doesn’t fall apart when you change symbol volatility or timeframe. Each horizon has its own clustering radius (distATR_micro/short/medium), which makes Micro more granular and Medium more tolerant.
The “weight” you see is not a single metric. It’s a composite score that tries to approximate how meaningful a price is in an auction sense:
Touch count (distinct): interactions are counted only when the candle range gets within a near-band threshold (ATR-normalized), and then gated by minimum bar separation so you don’t get spam from chop printing 20 touches in a row. (this is done with a stride-based loop to avoid blowing runtime on deep lookbacks)
Acceptance: a rolling overlap rate of candle ranges inside the box. It’s exponentially weighted (half-life decay), so recent acceptance matters more, but older acceptance still contributes. If price has been “living” around that level, acceptance rises.
Rejection quality: wick-aware rejection, but range-gated (not close-gated). The scoring looks at whether the candle range overlaps/approaches the level, then measures wick dominance on the rejecting side plus where the close sits inside the bar range.
Age decay: older levels aren’t thrown away automatically, but they get downweighted via an exponential decay term so stale structure doesn’t dominate forever.
Those components get combined by f_weightCompose() into a bounded weight using saturating transforms (so touches don’t scale linearly forever) and a decay factor tied to age. When multiple candidates land in the same cluster, the merge is done with a saturating union on weights (1 - (1-oldW)*(1-wAdd)) rather than simple addition, so weights don’t explode and a level can converge toward 1.0 without becoming meaningless. The cluster center price is updated via a weight-based average to prevent random drift from weak additions.
After clustering, we does an explicit selection pass instead of drawing everything. First it filters by minScore, then sorts by weight, then applies a spatial suppression step (basically NMS for horizontal levels). The minimum spacing is ATR-based and incorporates both a horizon spacing floor and the zone thickness, so you don’t end up with two bands that overlap visually or convey the same information. On top of that, there’s a global cross-horizon collision gate (f_canDraw) so Medium zones can coexist with Short/Micro without the chart turning into a layered fog of rectangles.
Visualization is intentionally “zone-first.” Each selected level becomes a box band whose half-thickness is ATR-scaled per horizon (bandThicknessATR_*). Opacity isn’t linear: it normalizes weight above minScore, applies a power curve to compress mid-range values, and also scales relative to the strongest level in that horizon (so you still get contrast when everything is “kind of strong”).
The pressure overlay is not volume-based and not orderflow (pine can’t read L2), but it tries to expose short-term imbalance while price is inside a band. When the last price is inside a zone, it computes a pressure score from two parts: proximity to the center (closer = higher) and a directional imbalance proxy from recent returns sampled only on bars that intersect the band. It then draws two thin lines at the band edges with alpha proportional to that pressure score. This is meant as a “are we being pushed out or absorbed here” hint (not a prediction engine).
If you enable the audit panel, the script builds a table listing the levels that actually got drawn (post-selection + collision filtering). The columns map directly to the internal metrics (weight, touches, acceptance, rejection), so you can sanity-check why a level exists. Level IDs are horizon-prefixed (MC/ST/MD) and assigned based on ranking within each horizon.
note:
rebuild is throttled (rebuildEveryN) and only runs on the last bar. Loops that can go deep use a stride heuristic (1/2/4) to keep runtime predictable on large lookbacks. Arrays are used as bounded buffers for candidate storage, and drawing objects are aggressively deleted/rebuilt to avoid object leaks. インジケーター
CVD Flow Dashboard [AMT Edition] + Unified AlertsCVD Flow Dashboard – Live Bar Alerts
1️⃣ Purpose of the Tool
The CVD Flow Dashboard is a reaction-based tool. It does not predict the market; it reacts to real-time order flow imbalances:
Detects strong buying/selling pressure (Delta)
Confirms trend alignment (CVD)
Detects absorption and continuation signals
It is designed to show micro (bar-level) and macro (trend) context simultaneously, allowing you to enter trades after a real market reaction occurs, rather than preempting it.
2️⃣ When to Use It
Use this dashboard in real-time trading for reaction trades:
After an attempted market move is absorbed
Market tests a level (high or low of prior bar) but fails — this is absorption.
Example: buyers push price down but sellers absorb → bullish absorption.
Minimum alignment required:
Delta: strong buy/sell delta
CVD: confirms trend direction
Acceptance: continuation candle breaks prior high/low in alignment with delta/CVD
Optional: Sequence (SEQ) — if the next bar continues the acceptance pattern, confidence rises.
Key point: only act after absorption and alignment, never before.
Recommended Integrations for Best Quality Use:
Auction Session Ranges (AMT Edition) – provides session extremes for context and levels.
CVD Flow Labels for Session Ranges – shows delta alignment across session levels.
All-in-One CVD: Failed Auction + Trap + Flow Classifications – adds absorption, trap, and flow classification confluence.
Using these together provides full micro + macro context, improving trade quality and confidence.
3️⃣ Step-by-Step Usage
Step 1: Monitor the Dashboard
Watch Delta, CVD, Acceptance, and Sequence.
Absorption often occurs without immediate alignment — this is the setup stage.
Step 2: Wait for Absorption
Bullish absorption: strong buy delta, failed auction low, price starting upward reaction
Bearish absorption: strong sell delta, failed auction high, price starting downward reaction
Step 3: Confirm the 3 Minimum Boxes
Delta → strong and aligned with absorption
CVD → trend confirmation
Acceptance → bar closes beyond prior high/low
Proceed only if all three align
Step 4: Check for Sequence (Optional)
Next bar continues pattern → higher-confidence setup
Not required, but reinforces trade quality
4️⃣ Entering Trades
Reaction trade: enter immediately once 3 minimum boxes align after absorption / absorption area re-test.
LONG = Bull absorption + CVD bullish + Acceptance
SHORT = Bear absorption + CVD bearish + Acceptance
Sequence bonus: can add to position or widen stop for confidence
5️⃣ Risk Management / Protecting Positions
Initial Stop-Loss: just beyond failed auction extreme (low for bullish, high for bearish)
Trailing Stop / Sequence Protection: trail below prior bar lows/highs if sequence occurs
Avoid Over-Exposure: multiple trades can occur, but only if alignment is verified
Time Sensitivity: reaction trades are intraday/high-frequency — avoid holding overnight without macro confirmation
6️⃣ Practical Tips
Do not trade solely on absorption — wait for minimum 3-box alignment
Use Sequence only as reinforcement
Watch volume spikes and strong delta — often precede absorption/continuation
Best used on 15-minute timeframe ✅ ✅ or higher for swing intraday confirmation; lower timeframes (5 min) for live reaction trades
Combine with Auction Session Ranges, CVD Flow Labels, and All-in-One CVD tools for best quality trade context
✅ Live Bar Alerts
Alerts trigger on the current live bar best, not just at close make sure it continues if you choose to use at close of candle, when:
Bull alignment: Delta + CVD + Acceptance align (Sequence optional)
Bear alignment: Delta + CVD + Acceptance align (Sequence optional)
Alerts continue after bar close if conditions persist, allowing both immediate reaction entries or confirmation at bar close.
✅ Summary Workflow (Reaction Trade Flow)
Market attempts a move → Absorption occurs
Check 3 minimum boxes: Delta + CVD + Acceptance
Optional: Sequence confirms continuation
Enter trade immediately
Place stop-loss just beyond absorption extreme
Use Sequence for trailing stop or scaling confidence
“Let the market react first, then follow the confirmed flow” — this is why it’s a reaction tool, not predictive. インジケーター
CVD Flow Labels for Sessions Ranges [AMT Edition]CVD Flow Labels for Session Ranges
Description:
This script provides a session-aware Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) analysis designed to enhance the “Session Ranges ” framework by combining price extremes with detailed volume flow dynamics. Unlike generic trend or scalping indicators, this tool focuses on identifying aggressive buying and selling pressure, distinguishing between absorption (failed auctions where aggressive flows are rejected) and acceptance (confirmed continuation of flows).
How it works:
CVD Calculation: The script calculates delta for each bar using a choice of Total, Periodic, or EMA-based cumulative methods. Delta represents the net difference between estimated buying and selling volume per bar.
Normalization: By normalizing delta relative to recent volatility, it highlights extreme flows that are statistically significant, making large shifts in market sentiment easier to spot.
Session-Specific Analysis: The indicator separates Asia, London, and New York sessions to allow context-sensitive interpretation of price and volume interactions. Each session’s extremes are monitored, and flow labels are plotted relative to these extremes.
Flow Labels: Bullish and bearish absorption (“ABS”) and acceptance (“ACC WEAK/STRONG”) labels provide immediate visual cues about whether aggressive flows are being absorbed or accepted at key price levels.
Alerts: Configurable alerts trigger when absorption or acceptance occurs, supporting active trading or strategy automation.
Originality & Usefulness:
This script is original because it integrates volume-based auction theory with session-specific market structure, rather than simply showing trend or scalping signals. By combining CVD dynamics with session extreme levels from the “Session Ranges ” script, traders can:
Identify where price is likely to be accepted or rejected.
Confirm aggressive buying or selling flows before entering trades.
Time entries near session extremes with higher probability setups.
How to use:
Apply the “Session Ranges ” to see session highs, lows, and interaction lines.
Use this CVD Flow Labels script to visualize absorption and acceptance at these session levels.
Enter trades based on alignment of session extremes and flow signals:
Absorption at a session extreme may indicate a potential reversal.
Acceptance suggests continuation in the direction of the flow.
Alerts can help manage trades without constant screen monitoring.
This tool is designed to give traders a structured, session-based view of market auctions, providing actionable insights that go beyond typical trend-following or scalping methods. It emphasizes flow analysis and statistical extremes, enabling traders to make more informed decisions grounded in market microstructure. インジケーター
Auction Session Ranges (AMT Edition) [ Alerts] Auction Session Ranges (AMT Edition)
► Overview
The Session Ranges ( AMT Edition) is a session-based market structure and auction analysis tool designed to visually reveal acceptance, rejection, imbalance, and continuation across the Asia, London, and New York CME trading sessions.
Unlike typical indicators, this script is grounded in Auction Market Theory (AMT) and session-based structure, focusing on how price behaves at session extremes rather than relying on lagging calculations, oscillators, or predictive algorithms. Its purpose is to highlight areas where the market has earned the right to be traded, providing traders with a clear, rules-based framework for high-probability directional trades.
Important for backtesting: To properly backtest session extremes, Interaction Lines, and Closest Opposite Extreme Lines, you must use TradingView’s replay mode, as real-time bar-by-bar progression is required to observe how the market interacts with session extremes over time.
► Key Innovations
This is not a conventional session high/low indicator. Its originality comes from several unique design elements:
Differentiates interaction from true acceptance: Price touching an extreme does not automatically indicate directional intent.
Separates directional confirmation from range-bound indecision: Only confirmed crossings beyond the Interaction Line signal actionable bias.
Tracks failed auctions and partial acceptance: No volume profile or order book data required.
Visual, rule-based trade permission: Signals are objective, minimizing subjective interpretation.
Interaction & Closest Opposite Extreme Lines: Together, these lines map how far an auction progresses after an extreme is tested, highlighting continuation, partial acceptance, or failed auctions.
► Core Concepts Explained
1. Session Highs & Lows (Solid Lines)
Plotted continuously for each CME session (Asia, London, New York).
Represent the current auction boundaries for that session.
2. True Interaction Lines (Thick Dotted Lines)
Drawn when price touches or breaks a session extreme:
Touching session high → dotted line at the low of that candle
Touching session low → dotted line at the high of that candle
Auction context:
Touching alone ≠ acceptance
Acceptance occurs only when price moves beyond the Interaction Line and holds
Trading principle:
Price has not crossed → no directional bias → do not trade
Price crosses and holds → directional bias established
3. Acceptance vs Rejection
Accepted direction: Price crosses and holds beyond the Interaction Line
Rejected direction: Price crosses the line but immediately reverses
Neutral / No-Trade: Price trapped between extreme and Interaction Line
Important: Acceptance is conditional and dynamic. Each time price crosses back over the Interaction Line, acceptance is lost.
4. New Extremes = Continuation
Once an Interaction Line is crossed, each new session extreme in that direction reinforces the trend.
Traders should only look for continuation setups along the established directional bias.
AMT interpretation:
Repeated new extremes → directional imbalance
Failure to make new extremes → potential balance or rotation
5. Closest Opposite Extreme Lines (Thin Dotted Lines)
After acceptance, the script tracks price progress toward the opposite session extreme.
Plotted only if price reaches a user-defined percentage of the session range.
Helps identify:
Full acceptance (price reaches opposite extreme)
Partial acceptance (price stalls)
Failed auctions (price cannot progress meaningfully)
Trading guidance once Closest Lines appear:
Partial acceptance: Price stalls near the Closest Line but does not fully reach the opposite extreme → bias remains valid, but the move may be weakening; consider scaling out or tightening stops.
Full acceptance: Price reaches the opposite extreme → directional auction fully confirmed; bias continues, but expect potential rotation or balance afterward.
Failed auction (cannot progress meaningfully): Price reverses before reaching the Closest Line → signals exhaustion; avoid chasing the move and treat as potential trend failure.
Note: Only relevant after Interaction Line is crossed; if price never crosses the Interaction Line, Closest Lines have no trading significance.
► Step-by-Step Usage
Wait for a session extreme
Let price interact with the session high or low.
Observe the Interaction Line
No cross → do not trade
Cross and hold → directional bias established
Trade in the direction of new extremes only
Ignore counter-trend trades unless the Interaction Line is lost
Manage risk using structure
Interaction Line acts as a dynamic invalidation level
Use Closest Lines for context
Partial acceptance → bias valid, watch for weakening
Full acceptance → bias strong, continuation likely
Failed attempt → potential exhaustion, do not chase
Useful for trade management, scaling, and expectation setting
► Price Retests & Pullbacks
Scenario:
Price crosses above the Interaction Line (e.g., from a low interaction).
Over the next 3–4 15-minute bars, price dips back toward the Interaction Line, with wicks touching it but no decisive close below.
Interpretation:
Initial Acceptance Confirmed: Bias remains valid while price holds above/below the line.
Temporary Pullback / Retest: Market is re-evaluating the auction; testing participant agreement.
Wicks Touching the Line: Partial probing or liquidity sweep; market still respects original acceptance.
Trading Implication:
Continuation bias remains intact.
Pullbacks near the Interaction Line offer lower-risk entries.
Decisive close below → acceptance lost, signaling trend failure or invalidation.
Market Psychology:
Healthy auction behavior: extreme tested → acceptance confirmed → boundary retested for liquidity → continuation.
Failure to hold above signals weak acceptance or exhaustion.
✅ Key Takeaways:
Holding above Interaction Line → bias intact, pullback = opportunity
Closing below Interaction Line → acceptance lost, bias invalidated
Wicks touching only → normal retest, still valid
► No-Trade Conditions
Avoid trading when:
Price never crosses the Interaction Line
Price remains trapped between the extreme and the Interaction Line
Market rotates without forming new extremes
These indicate balance, not directional opportunity.
► Alerts
Optional alerts trigger when price crosses an Interaction Line for:
Asia session
London session
New York session
Alerts signal possible acceptance, not automatic trade entries.
► Who This Script Is For
Best suited for traders who:
Trade session structure in futures, indices, or FX
Follow Auction Market Theory principles
Prefer objective, rules-based confirmation
Want fewer but higher-quality trade opportunities
Not intended for:
Indicator stacking
Predictive trading
High-frequency scalping without structure
► Final Notes
This script does not tell you when to buy or sell.
It shows where the market has earned the right to be traded.
Use it as a decision filter, not a prediction engine. インジケーター
All-in-One CVD: Failed Auction + Trap + Flow Classifications All-in-One CVD : Failed Auction/Trap + Flow Classifications (Colored Bars)
Description:
This script provides an advanced order flow and delta-based trading visualization designed to highlight key market microstructure events in real time. It combines Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD), failed auction detection, absorption tracking, continuation signals, and trap identification into a single, coherent tool with colored bars and visual markers. Unlike standard volume or trend-following indicators, this script focuses on aggressive order flow and price acceptance/rejection events, making it particularly suitable for scalping, intraday momentum trading, and identifying high-probability short-term setups.
Originality and Purpose:
Many scripts either show CVD or detect failed auctions separately, but this script integrates multiple advanced flow concepts into one indicator.
By combining CVD, normalized delta, strong delta thresholds, failed auctions, absorption, traps, and continuation patterns, traders can identify where aggressive buying or selling is being absorbed, where price is likely to continue, and where traps are forming.
The mashup is intentional: each component validates the other. For example, a failed auction signal without absorption is less significant, while a failed auction coinciding with absorption signals a true high-probability trap or reversal.
Failed auctions typically align with "Failed 2" patterns from The Strat by Rob Smith, providing additional confirmation using a well-established price action methodology.
How It Works:
Volume and Delta Calculation:
Computes buying and selling pressure from volume and bar structure (high/low/close).
Supports UltraData mode for enhanced volume calculations using security data.
Options for Cumulative Mode: Total, Periodic, or EMA-based CVD.
Normalized Delta and Strong Delta Detection:
Calculates normalized delta (z-score) to standardize flow across different volatility regimes.
Flags strong buying or selling when delta exceeds user-defined thresholds.
Failed Auction Detection:
Highlights bars where price attempted to break previous highs/lows but failed to sustain, signaling trapped aggressive participants.
True failed auctions can coincide with absorption for higher-probability setups.
Absorption:
Detects situations where strong aggressive flow is absorbed at key levels, showing institutional participation or liquidity consumption.
Bullish absorption occurs when aggressive buying is absorbed at previous lows; bearish absorption occurs when aggressive selling is absorbed at previous highs.
Flow Classification:
Continuation: Aggressive flow accepted by the market — often the next candle continues in the direction of the delta.
Important: A single continuation signal does not guarantee follow-through. Traders should view it as an indicator that aggressive participants are in control for the current candle, and consider market context, trend, and support/resistance before assuming continuation. Multiple consecutive continuation signals or confirmation with absorption/strong delta increases reliability.
Trap: Aggressive flow trapped — the market reverses after failed auction.
Absorption: Aggressive orders absorbed — market shows hesitation at tested levels.
Colored CVD Bars and Visual Markers:
Bars colored green/red/gray based on delta direction.
Visual markers indicate flow state: circles for continuation, X-cross for traps, triangles for absorption.
Works in real time — live candles are updated with flow state markers.
Alerts:
Custom alert conditions for each flow type: continuation, trap, and absorption.
Alerts provide actionable signals for automated monitoring or manual trading.
Trading Applications:
Trap Trading: Identify aggressive buyers/sellers who fail to push price and get trapped. Use trap signals to fade reversals.
Continuation Trading: Detect market acceptance of aggressive flow for trend-following or breakout strategies. Use caution: a single continuation signal indicates probability, not certainty, and should be confirmed with structural context.
Absorption Analysis: Spot where institutional participants absorb liquidity before a potential directional move.
Intraday Scalping: Combines delta, volume, failed auction logic, and Strat alignment for high-frequency setups.
Key Notes:
True failed auctions with significant market impact require absorption — otherwise, a simple failed attempt may be a weak signal.
The script works across multiple markets (Forex, Crypto, Stock) and supports live bar updates.
Users can adjust strong delta thresholds, period lengths, and cumulative modes to fit their preferred trading style or volatility regime.
Conclusion:
This all-in-one script provides traders with a comprehensive, visually intuitive, and real-time method to detect aggressive flow, failed auctions, absorption, and continuation patterns. By linking failed auctions to The Strat’s failed 2 patterns, and clarifying the probabilistic nature of continuation signals, it merges advanced delta analytics with proven price action methodology, making it highly original, actionable, and educational for understanding market order flow dynamics. インジケーター
Balanced Delta Volume Profile (Zeiierman)█ Overview
Balanced Delta Volume Profile (Zeiierman) builds a vertical, price-by-price profile that blends total participation with balance quality. Instead of plotting raw volume alone, it weights each price bin by:
how balanced buyers vs. sellers were,
how compressed price was inside that bin,
how often price revisited it.
The result spotlights fair value and acceptance zones while still revealing momentum/imbalance areas—ideal for reading rotation vs. trend, continuation vs. exhaustion, and the prices that truly matter.
Highlights
Balanced score that fuses delta symmetry, price compression, and hit frequency.
Optional heat spectrum for instant read of participation density and balance strength.
POC-like auto highlight of the dominant price level within the lookback window.
Works across timeframes for session profiling, swing context, or regime shifts.
█ How It Works
⚪ Profile Construction
The script scans a fixed History Length and divides the full high–low span into Bin Count price bins. For every bar in the window, its volume is proportionally distributed across the bins it overlaps, so wide-range bars contribute across multiple bins, while narrow bars concentrate where they traded most. This yields per-bin totals for:
Total Volume (participation)
Positive / Negative Volume (up vs. down bar contribution)
Hit Count (how often price touched the bin)
Average Price Range (mean bar range inside the bin; a proxy for compression)
⚪ Delta & Direction
For each bin, delta symmetry is measured via the ratio of |pos − neg| to total volume. Bins with balanced two-sided flow score higher than one-sided, runaway bins. This curbs the tendency of raw volume profiles to over-reward impulsive bursts.
⚪ Balance Score
Each price bin gets a balance score that multiplies three normalized components:
Delta Balance: rewards bins where buy/sell pressure is symmetrical (configurable via Volume Momentum Weight).
Price Compression: rewards bins where average bar range is relatively small (configurable via Price Momentum Weight).
Durability: rewards bins revisited often (configurable via Hits Weight).
A Min Hits Filter removes flimsy, single-touch bins from dominating the score. The profile can display pure totals or Average Mode (Vol/Hit) to compare bins fairly when hit counts differ.
⚪ Display & Heat Spectrum
The final plotted bar length per bin is the display volume (total or average) weighted by the balance score and normalized to 100.
POC-like Highlight: The 100% bin is outlined (and labeled) when Highlight Max Volume Bin is ON.
Heat Spectrum (optional): A background gradient scales with normalized bar length and balance hue.
Balance Hue: Interpolates between Balance Low/High Colors so high-balance bins visually pop as “accepted value.”
█ How to Use
The profile is effectively a map of price acceptance:
High, bright bars = strong participation at balanced prices → fair value/rotation zones.
Thin, muted bars = poor acceptance → imbalance or transition areas.
POC-style level = most influential price in the lookback window.
⚪ Find Fair Value & Acceptance
Thick, high-balance bins mark value. Expect rotation: price often revisits or oscillates around these areas. They’re prime zones for mean-reversion fades, scale-ins, and risk-defined trades against the edges.
⚪ Identify Imbalance & Funnels
Low-balance, low-hit bins often act like air pockets—price can move through them quickly. These zones are helpful for continuation trades into thin areas or for timing breakout pulls back into acceptance.
⚪ POC Dynamics
When price leaves the POC and returns, watch for re-acceptance (price comes back into the POC or high-balance zone and stays there.) vs. rejection (trend continuation away from value). The auto-highlight makes this quick to judge.
█ Settings
History Length – Bars scanned for the profile. Longer = broader context, slower to adapt.
Bin Count – Vertical resolution of bins between the window’s min and max price.
Display Shift – Offsets the rendering rightward for clarity.
Average Mode (Vol/Hit) – ON uses average volume per visit; OFF uses total volume.
Volume Momentum Weight – Emphasizes two-way flow; higher values favor balanced bins over one-sided deltas.
Price Momentum Weight – Emphasizes compression; higher values favor narrow-range, coiling price action.
Hits Weight – Rewards bins revisited often; higher values favor durable acceptance.
Min Hits Filter – Minimum visits a bin needs to qualify for the balance score.
Show Heat Spectrum – Background gradient for quick read of density and balance.
Highlight Max Volume Bin – Outline + raw volume label for the dominant bin.
Max Volume Color – Color used for that highlight.
Balance Low/High Colors – Gradient endpoints for balance hue across the profile.

TPO Levels [VAH/POC/VAL] with Poor H/L, Single Prints & NPOCs### 🎯 Advanced Market Profile & Key Level Analysis
This script is a unique and comprehensive technical analysis tool designed to help traders understand market structure, value, and key liquidity levels using the principles of **Auction Market Theory** and **Market Profile**.
This script is unique (and shouldn't be censored) because :
It allows large history of levels to be displayed
Accurate as possible tick size
Doesn't draw a profile but only the actual levels
Supports multi-timeframe levels even on the daily mode giving macro context
There is no indicator out there that does it
While these concepts are universal, this indicator was built primarily for the dynamic, 24/7 nature of the **cryptocurrency market**. It helps you move beyond simple price action to understand *why* the market is moving, which is especially crucial in the volatile crypto space.
### ## 📊 The Concepts Behind the Calculations
To use this script effectively, it's important to understand the core concepts it is built upon. The entire script is self-contained and does not require other indicators.
* **What is Market Profile?**
Market Profile is a unique charting technique that organizes price and time data to reveal market structure. It's built from **Time Price Opportunities (TPOs)**, which are 30-minute periods of market activity. By stacking these TPOs, the script builds a distribution, showing which price levels were most accepted (heavily traded) and which were rejected (lightly traded) during a session.
* **What is the Value Area (VA)?**
The Value Area is the heart of the profile. It represents the price range where **70%** of the session's trading volume occurred. This is considered the "fair value" zone where both buyers and sellers were in general agreement.
* **Point of Control (POC):** The single price level with the most TPOs. This was the most accepted or "fairest" price of the session and acts as a gravitational line for price.
* **Value Area High (VAH):** The upper boundary of the 70% value zone.
* **Value Area Low (VAL):** The lower boundary of the 70% value zone.
VAH and VAL are dynamic support and resistance levels. Trading outside the previous session's value area can signal the start of a new trend.
***
### ## 📈 Key Features Explained
This script automatically calculates and displays the following critical market-generated information:
* **Multi-Timeframe Market Profile**
Automatically draws Daily, Weekly, and Monthly profiles, allowing you to analyze market structure across different time horizons. The script preserves up to 20 historical sessions to provide deep market context.
* **Naked Point of Control (nPOC)**
A "Naked" POC is a Point of Control from a previous session that has **not** been revisited by price. These levels often act as powerful magnets for price, representing areas of unfinished business that the market may seek to retest. The script tracks and displays Daily, Weekly, and Monthly nPOCs until they are touched.
* **Single Prints (Imbalance Zones)**
A Single Print is a price level where only one TPO traded during the session's development. This signifies a rapid, aggressive price move and an imbalanced market. These areas, like gaps in a traditional chart, are frequently revisited as the market seeks to "fill in" these thin parts of the profile.
* **Poor Structure (Unfinished Auctions)**
A **Poor High** or **Poor Low** occurs when the top or bottom of a profile is flat, with two or more TPOs at the extreme price. This suggests that the auction in that direction was weak and inconclusive. These weak structures often signal a high probability that price will eventually break that high or low.
***
### ## 💡 How to Use This Indicator
This tool is not a signal generator but an analytical framework to improve your trading decisions.
1. **Determine Market Context:** Start by asking: Is the current price trading *inside* or *outside* the previous session's Value Area?
* **Inside VA:** The market is in a state of balance or range-bound. Look for trades between the VAH and VAL.
* **Outside VA:** The market is in a state of imbalance and may be starting a trend. Look for continuation or acceptance of prices outside the prior value.
2. **Identify Key Levels:**
* Use historical **nPOCs** as potential profit targets or areas to watch for a price reaction.
* Treat historical **VAH** and **VAL** levels as significant support and resistance zones.
* Note where **Single Prints** are. These are often price magnets that may get "filled" in the future.
3. **Spot Weakness:**
* A **Poor High** suggests weak resistance that may be easily broken.
* A **Poor Low** suggests weak support, signaling a potential for a continued move lower if broken.
***
### ## ⚙️ Customization & Crypto Presets
The indicator is highly customizable, allowing you to change colors, transparency, the number of historical sessions, and more.
To help traders get started quickly, the indicator includes **built-in layout presets** specifically calibrated for major cryptocurrencies: ** BINANCE:BTCUSDT.P , BINANCE:ETHUSDT.P , and BINANCE:SOLUSDT.P **. These presets automatically adjust key visual parameters to better suit the unique price characteristics and volatility of each asset, providing an optimized view right out of the box.

This indicator is a tool for market analysis and should not be interpreted as direct buy or sell signals. It provides information based on historical price action, which does not guarantee future results. Trading involves significant risk, and you should always use proper risk management. This script is designed for use on standard chart types (e.g., Candlesticks, Bar) and may produce misleading information on non-standard charts. インジケーター
Fair Value MSThis indicator introduces rigid rules to familiar concepts to better capture and visualize Market Structure and Areas of Support and Resistance in a way that is both rule-based and reactive to market movements.
Typical "Market Structure" or "Zig-Zag" methods determine swing points based on fixed thresholds (length or percentage). While this does provide rigid structure, the results may be lagging or confusing due to the timing, since it is fixed to static parameters.
I believe the concept of Fair Value Gaps can solve this problem.
As you will notice, there are no length settings in this indicator.
> FVG Market Structure
Fair Value Gaps are a well known concept used to indicate directional intent, forming when price moves aggressively in one direction, leaving behind an imbalance between buyers and sellers. While the term FVG was popularized by ICT, the underlying concept predates them, known historically as imbalances, inefficiencies, or liquidity voids in institutional trading.
Note: For simplicity, in this indicator they'll be called FVGs.
By reading into this, we are able to clearly and rigidly define market structure simply by "looking" at the chart, using objective price events rather than subjective interpretation, or lengths.
By using FVGs to determine structure direction, the length, and speed of identification lies entirely on the market. If an FVG Down occurs immediately after a New Higher High forms, it is reasonable to assume there was a seller at that point, so the script would indicate a New Swing High.
The script is NOT stuck, waiting for a % retrace, or # bars to pass to identify it as such.
Sometimes the market is in a steady trend in a single direction and no FVGs form; therefore, no structure forms. -> Why would we try to impose structure on a clear trend?
Ultimately, the FVG Structure Method uses real reactions from the market to determine Market structure, and is not fixed to specific parameters.
As with other market structure indicators, "Market Structure Breaks" are still identifiable when price moves outside the most recent swing points.
These are helpful to indicate larger direction. In the following section you will see how these help us determine when we should start the search for an "Area of Interest (AOI)".
> Areas of Interest (AOIs)
"Area of Interest (AOI)" is a generalized term, and could refer to many types of zones you might recognize under different names. While the AOIs in this indicator are specialized in their own way, I have chosen to simply use the term "Area of Interest" because it’s more important to understand how they behave and why they exist than to focus on what they’re called.
The goal of an AOI is to point out reasonable areas where buyers or sellers may be staging, as is typical with support and resistance.
In order to reasonably identify these areas, we look for cause and effect relationships. When considering these relationships, it's easier to understand the placement of the points to define each zone.
(Buyer Examples)
Cause: Strong Buyers step in at Swing Low
Effect: Fair Value Gap Forms
Cause: Sustained Buying Pressure
Effect: Market Structure Breaks
In this example, The zone is drawn from the Swing Low, to the Bottom of the FVG closest to the swing point.
In theory, the participation at the swing point was strong and aggressive enough to create the FVG imbalance. Which then found acceptance and continued into a Market Structure Break. So with these AOIs, we are trying to locate the aggressive Buyers or Sellers which were positioned BEFORE the FVG.
These Zones are intended to act as areas to look for reactions from market participants, to judge where price may be going. When revisiting these zones, we look for a reaction or a break, to further provide us information to if the buyers or sellers are still there.
As seen in the screenshot above, The information we gain is not from the creation of these zones, but from the behavior we witness when these zones are revisited.
Technical Note: In this indicator, Market Structure Breaks are only considered when price closes outside the recent swing points. Wicks are not considered as confirmation, therefore are not used to detect structural breaks.
Inside each AOI you can optionally display a readout of the volume which accumulated during the time starting at the swing point and going until the closing bar of the FVG.
Note: We are counting volume until the closing bar of the FVG since the FVG is a 3 bar formation, and aggressive volume is required throughout to create the imbalance.
There are multiple FVGs that typically occur in a single direction, but we do not look to every single one to be indicative of structure, only the first FVG in the opposite direction of the previous direction (which is determined by previous FVGs)
You will probably notice, the AOIs do not form from the closest swing or FVG to the break, this is because we are targeting larger directional changes to draw these AOIs from.
Since they do not always happen perfectly every time, the AOI formation waits for an FVG to occur AND a Market structure break to happen. One without the other will result in no Zone displaying.
> Reflection Lines
While they may seem slightly redundant, Reflection Lines serve as reminders of previous support and resistance pivots. They are drawn at the same Pivots where and AOI is formed, and extend beyond the mitigation of the AOI.
These lines are often points of price to look for "Support Flips", a re-test pattern where price trades through previous support (or resistance) then returns to it and rejects, continuing into a larger move or trend.
Their namesake is based on the behavior of price, "reflecting" at these levels.
The Reflection lines are simple and change color based on price's location.
If price is above, we would typically look to a reflection line in with support in mind.
As a basic filter, these lines use an average price to determine their color, this way they will not change their color as frequently in choppy situations.
> Session Start/End Lines
For analysis purposes and trade review, it is helpful to analyze with context.
For that reason, I have implemented start and end session lines into the indicator, these are helpful when reviewing historical charts to not provide additional context.
By default, they are set to the NYSE Session, but can be changed to fit any needs.
These lines are not advanced, and simply draw a line as the chart passes the start and end of the sessions. It's very likely that you may need to adjust the session for your specific needs.
Note: The Timezone can be adjusted within the code if needed. By Default, the indicator uses "America/New_York" Timezone.
> Conclusion
If you’ve ever felt like your structure tools were confusing or lagging, drawing zones too late, or zones that simply don't make sense, this should feel like a breath of fresh air.
By removing arbitrary length settings and instead using FVGs to define structure and as a basis for AOIs, you're getting a more accurate look at what price is doing and where it's reacting from.
This indicator is rule-based, reactive, and aims to keep things logical without fluff or false confidence.

Rotation Factor for TPO and OHLC (Plot)The Rotation Factor objectively measures attempted market direction(or market sentiment) for a given period. It records the cumulative directional attempts of auction rotations within a given period, thus, helping traders determine which way the market is trying to go and which market participant is exerting greater control or influence.
Theory
The premise is that a greater number of bars auctioning higher contrasted to bars auctioning lower indicates that buyers are exerting greater control over price within the given period(usually daily). In this case, the market is attempting to go higher (Market is Bullish). The same is true for a greater number of bars auctioning lower than higher, which, in this case, indicates that the sellers are exerting greater control over price within the given period and that the market is attempting to go lower (Market is Bearish).
Calculation
Each bar is individually measured in relation to the immediate previous bar, and calculations are reset at the beginning of each period.
For every bar, two variables are utilised: One for the highs and another for the lows. During bar start, these variables are initiated at 0.
As the period progresses, these variables are set accordingly: If the high of the current bar is higher than that of the previous bar, then the bar's highs variable is assigned a "+1". If the opposite is true, it is given a "-1". Finally, if both bar highs are equal, it is, instead, assigned a "0". The same is true for the lows: if the low of the current bar is higher than that of the previous low, then the bar's lows variable is assigned a "+1". Similarly, the opposite is given a "-1", while equal lows causes it to be assigned a "0". All highs and lows are then summed together resulting to a total, which becomes the Rotational Factor.
Presentation
Furthermore, this Rotation Factor Indicator is presented as a plot, which, unlike its classic variation, shows you how the rotation factor is developing. It also includes lines indicating the Top Rotation Factor and the Bottom Rotation Factor individually, the better to observe the developing auction.
Link to the Classic Variation:
Features
1. Customisable Tick Size/Granularity : The calculation tick size/ granularity is customisable which can be accessed through the indicator settings.
2. Customisable Labels and Lines : The colour and sizes used by the labels and lines are customisable the better for accessibility.
3. Period Separator : A separator is rendered to represent period borders (start and end). If separators are already present on your chart, you can remove them from the indicator settings.
4. Individual Top Rotation Factor and Bottom Rotation Factor plots : These two parts which becomes of the Rotation Factor are also presented individually, on their own plots, the better to observe the developing auction.
Works for both split Market Profile(TPO) charts and regular OHLC bars/candle charts
The Rotation Factor is usually used with a Split Market Profile (TPO). However, if no such tool is available, you will still be able to benefit from the Rotation Factor as the price ranges of Split Market Profiles and OHLC bars/candles are one and the same. In such cases, it is recommended that you set your chart to use a 30 minute timeframe and the indicator's period to "daily" to simulate a Split Market Profile.
Note :
The Rotation Factor is, to quote, "by no means not an all-conclusive indication of future market direction.". It only helps determine which way the market is trying to go by objectively measuring the market's directional attempts.

Market Profile Visible RangeSup TV, 2 important points .
1) surprisingly, it's the first MP Visible Range script on TV;
2) This one doesn't use any bagging/binning*, instead each row represents the time spent on the actual minimal price steps (aka ticks).
The script will be further extended with usual market profile related functionally in future updates. At this point we have:
- Profile itself (each row represents how many bars touch the given price);
- Mode of the profile (called POC)**;
* Still it will be introduced in future when I will find / design the proper aggregating technique. It is vital for processing very wide price ranges (for example, 500 days on ES futures).
** The script correctly calculates POC by finding all the modes in the data & choosing the closest one to data's midrange.
For this kind of technical instrument finally it was more convenient to use Pine Script 5 (btw it's my first Pine 5).
Basically this script is a side-effect of another R&D I'm doing, the stuff is useful tho so let's go.
By choosing length we both specify the amount of data to be processed & the profile's location screen-wise. It's pretty cool and & useful, on my screen it's always almost touching the left side and still always visible.
The code is heavily commented in order to be understood fast, nothing fantastic, just a lil patience required this time.
Rationale
Market & volume profiles are well known concepts, lotta info available, the most important point of all that is that MP is just another way of visualizing data that lets you notice things you don't usually notice on sequential charts. From my side I can only add that it's better to use your own brain for thinking and reconsidering using volume profile in all the cases, especially on decentralized markets (unless you're aggregating ALL the volume data from everywhere, including options, OTC etc).
Here is it, for you インジケーター
