Lanovyx# Lanovyx — Setup Window Confluence System
## The Problem This Solves
Traditional confluence indicators require all conditions to align on the exact same bar: stochastic must be oversold AND price must touch support AND divergence must form — all simultaneously. In real markets, this rarely happens. Price touches VWAP -2σ, but stochastic doesn't reach oversold until 3 bars later. The opportunity is missed.
**Lanovyx solves this with the Setup Window methodology.**
---
## Core Innovation: Setup Windows
Instead of requiring simultaneous conditions, Lanovyx separates trading signals into two phases:
**Phase 1 — Context Event (Setup Activation)**
When a meaningful event occurs, it "opens a window" that stays active for a configurable number of bars:
- Price touches VWAP ±2σ or ±3σ band → window opens
- Price tests Previous Day High/Low → window opens
- Stochastic divergence forms → window opens
- Opening Range breakout occurs → window opens
- Price reaches Support/Resistance level → window opens
Each event adds to a cumulative "setup score" (capped at 8). Higher scores indicate stronger context.
**Phase 2 — Trigger (Signal Generation)**
Within the active window, when stochastic conditions confirm, a signal fires. The trigger doesn't need to occur on the same bar as the context — it just needs to occur while the window is open.
This two-phase approach captures setups that traditional indicators miss entirely.
---
## Why Stochastic + VWAP Confluence Works
**VWAP (Volume-Weighted Average Price)** tells us where institutional money has transacted. The standard deviation bands identify statistical extremes:
- Price at VWAP -2σ is extended to the downside (potential mean reversion long)
- Price at VWAP +2σ is extended to the upside (potential mean reversion short)
**Stochastic Oscillator** measures momentum exhaustion. When price reaches a VWAP extreme AND stochastic shows momentum reversing, we have confluence of:
1. Price extension (VWAP bands)
2. Momentum exhaustion (Stochastic)
3. Context validation (Setup Window score)
The multi-lane stochastic (14/21/55 periods) adds timeframe confluence — when fast, medium, and slow stochastics align, the signal is stronger.
---
## Five Signal Families
Each family targets a specific market condition:
### 1. Trend Entry (T) — Blue Labels
**When:** Stochastic pulls back to 25-55 zone (longs) or 45-75 zone (shorts) during established trend
**Logic:** In trending markets, pullbacks to the "value zone" offer low-risk entries with trend
**Best for:** Trending days with clear directional bias
### 2. Mean Reversion (R) — Green/Red Labels
**When:** Stochastic exits oversold (<20) or overbought (>80) with active setup window
**Logic:** At VWAP extremes with momentum exhaustion, price tends to revert to mean
**Best for:** Range-bound, choppy markets
**Requires:** Active setup window (context event must have occurred)
### 3. Breakout (B) — Orange Labels
**When:** Stochastic lanes compress ("coil") then expand, crossing the 50 midline
**Logic:** Compression precedes expansion; breakout from tight range signals new trend
**Best for:** Transition days, post-squeeze moves
### 4. Momentum (M) — Green/Red Labels
**When:** Stochastic crosses 50 from extreme zone (<25 or >75) within lookback period
**Logic:** Catches V-shaped reversals where regime detection lags the move
**Best for:** Fast reversals, news-driven moves
### 5. Counter-Signal / FADE (C) — Purple Labels
**When:** A signal fires and immediately fails (stochastic reverses sharply against it)
**Logic:** Failed signals often lead to strong moves in the opposite direction (trapped traders)
**Confidence gating:** High-confidence fades generate signals; low-confidence show warnings only
---
## Institutional Key Levels
Lanovyx incorporates levels that institutional traders use:
- **PDH/PDL** (Previous Day High/Low) — Major support/resistance where stops cluster
- **PDC** (Previous Day Close) — Settlement price, gap reference
- **ORB** (Opening Range) — First 15 minutes high/low, breakout trigger
- **IB** (Initial Balance) — First 60 minutes range, institutional benchmark
These levels automatically activate setup windows when price interacts with them, adding to the setup score.
---
## Filtering System
**ADX Filter:** In strong trends (ADX > 25), blocks counter-trend mean reversion signals to avoid fighting momentum.
**HTF Bias Filter:** Optional alignment with higher timeframe (e.g., 1-hour) EMAs. Can block or demote signals that oppose the larger trend.
**Regime Detection:** Classifies market as Uptrend, Downtrend, Sideways, or Squeeze using EMA alignment and market structure (HH/HL/LH/LL patterns).
---
## How to Use
1. **Wait for Setup** — Watch for context events (VWAP band touch, key level test, divergence)
2. **Check the Score** — Higher setup scores indicate stronger context (visible in debug mode)
3. **Wait for Trigger** — Let stochastic confirm within the window
4. **Confirm Regime** — Ensure signal type matches market condition
5. **Manage Risk** — Use the ATR-based stop/target levels shown after signals
**Strong signals (★)** appear when multiple confluence factors align — these are highest probability setups.

Oscillator [Scalping-Algo]█ POSTING OSCILLATOR
A squeeze momentum indicator that detects volatility compression and shows momentum direction.
█ HOW IT WORKS
This indicator combines Bollinger Bands and Keltner Channels to identify "squeeze" conditions — periods of low volatility that often precede explosive moves.
When Bollinger Bands contract inside Keltner Channels, volatility is compressing. When they expand back out, the squeeze "fires" and price typically makes a strong directional move.
█ HISTOGRAM COLORS
🟦 Bright Cyan — Positive momentum, increasing
🟦 Dark Cyan — Positive momentum, decreasing
🟪 Dark Purple — Negative momentum, increasing
🟪 Bright Magenta — Negative momentum, decreasing
█ SQUEEZE DOTS (ZERO LINE)
🟢 Teal — No squeeze (normal volatility)
⚫ Gray — Low squeeze
🔴 Red — Medium squeeze
🟠 Orange — High squeeze (breakout imminent)
█ HOW TO USE
1. Wait for squeeze dots (gray/red/orange) to appear
2. Watch which direction momentum is building
3. Enter when dots turn teal (squeeze fired)
4. Go long if histogram is cyan, short if magenta
5. Consider exit when colors fade (bright → dark)
█ BEST PRACTICES
• Works best on higher timeframes (1H, 4H, Daily)
• Combine with trend analysis and support/resistance
• Most reliable in trending markets
• Avoid trading against major levels
█ SETTINGS
Length: 20 (default) — Period for all calculations
Adjust based on your timeframe and trading style.
█ ALERTS
Set alerts for:
• Histogram crossing zero
• Squeeze firing (dot color change to teal)
• High squeeze detection (orange dots)
Difference Based Curvature by WizkaThis is my very explorative script which studies the use of "derivatives" in indicating the momentum and the potential reversals. As we know the market data is so noisy and non-stationary (random walk) that mathematical derivatives can not be used. Therefore I use "differences (Diff)" as an analogy to them. The indicator, which I call "Difference-Based Curvature", calculates 10 period differences (ROC10) for three segments (0,10; 10,20; 20,30) and creates of them three degrees of Diff: 1st DIff = ROC(10), 2nd DIff = "dROC" = ROC(0,10) - ROC(10,20), which represents the "curvature" of the price movement. Furthermore, the 3rd Diff = "jROC" is calculated as a change of 2nd diff between consecutive segments. The values of Diffs are plotted as lines, but the interpretation is in the background colors. Dark green indicates strong (accelerating) growth (1. and 2.Diff >0). Light green = slowing increase (2.Diff turns <0). Dark red = strong decrease (1. and 2. Diff <0). Light red = slowing decrease (1.Diff<0, 2.Diff turning >0). Furthermore, red and green arrows are plotted when 3.Diff changes to negative in uptrend or positive in downtrend (hence trying to hint early potential top or bottom formation).
There are a few scale smoothing options, and I mostly use ATR-smoothing on.
It can be noted, that there is a certain resemblance with MACD (or PPO) as can be seen in the chart. This corresponds my intuition of the MACD: 1.Diff vs. MACD-line, 2.DIff vs. sign of Histogram and 3.Diff vs. direction of histogram.
DISCLAIMER: This indicator has not been tested, and use of it only with caution and own responsibility. No decision should be made on one indicator only.
Unfortunately some parameters can only be changed in the script. But it is open.
Have fun experimenting!
Pradip's MACD Divergence ProThis is where the "magic" happens, Pradip. MACD Divergence is one of the most powerful concepts because it acts like an early-warning system. It tells you when the market is "lying"—when the price is moving up or down, but the energy (momentum) behind it is dying.

HTF Flip Close Levels, Daily Weekly Monthly TASHTF Flip Close Levels (D/W/M) — Support & Resistance Tool
This indicator automatically plots Daily, Weekly, and Monthly support & resistance levels based on higher-timeframe candle close behaviour.
🔹 What this tool does
The script detects HTF momentum flips using closed candles only:
Support is created when:
A red candle is followed by a green candle
The level is drawn at the close of the red candle
Resistance is created when:
A green candle is followed by a red candle
The level is drawn at the close of the green candle
This creates objective, rule-based horizontal levels derived purely from price behavior, not indicators.
🔹 Features
✅ Plots Daily, Weekly, and Monthly levels simultaneously
✅ Works on any timeframe (1m, 5m, 1H, Daily, Weekly, etc.)
✅ Keeps full historical levels, not just the most recent ones
✅ Optional auto-hide tapped levels (when price touches them)
✅ Tap detection:
Wick touch
or Close cross/touch
✅ Levels are always based on HTF candle closes, never wicks
✅ Designed to stay consistent across timeframe changes
🔹 How to use it (IMPORTANT)
This indicator:
❌ Does NOT predict market direction
❌ Does NOT generate buy/sell signals
❌ Does NOT tell you when to enter or exit
It is a context & confluence tool.
You should use these levels together with:
Market structure
Trend analysis
Volume / orderflow / CVD
Your own entry model
Your own risk management
Think of these levels as areas of interest, not automatic trade signals.
🔹 Best use cases
Confluence with:
Local support/resistance
VWAP / Anchored VWAP
Range highs/lows
Liquidity zones
Reversal or continuation patterns
Identifying:
HTF reaction zones
Decision points
Areas where other traders are likely watching

PEGY RatioThe basic metrics that all indicators descend from are for each bar the Open, High, Low, Close and Volume where the Close is often noted as Price. Then the Price/Earnings ratio entered trading. Price/Earnings is often noted as P/E ratio or PE.
The first major formalisation and widespread use of the P/E ratio came in 1934, when Benjamin Graham and David Dodd introduced it in their landmark book "Security Analysis". Their work established the P/E ratio as a core tool in fundamental analysis and value investing.
Graham’s influence was profound: he used the P/E ratio to help investors judge whether a stock was overpriced or underpriced, and his teachings shaped generations of value investors, including Warren Buffett.
The P/E ratio evolved into modern variants like forward P/E and Shiller CAPE.
There’s no single P/E cutoff that definitively marks a “growth” or “income” stock, but investors commonly treat P/E below about 10–15 as value/income oriented and P/E above about 20–25 as growth oriented. It is important to watch the P/E trend. If the P/E is a low value and reducing in value, then the company may be failing, and it is not good to invest in.
P/E is a relative signal, not an absolute rule. A high P/E usually means the market expects above average future earnings growth; a low P/E often signals lower growth expectations, higher current yield, or elevated risk. Benchmarks vary by sector and cycle: what’s “high” for utilities is low for software. Historical market averages (e.g., S&P 500) help frame whether a multiple is elevated or depressed.
The next step was the PEG ratio which was first introduced in 1969 by Mario Farina, who described it in his book "A Beginner’s Guide to Successful Investing in the Stock Market".
The concept later gained widespread popularity thanks to Peter Lynch, who championed it in his 1989 bestseller "One Up on Wall Street", arguing that a “fairly priced” company tends to have a PEG of about 1. Over 1 is overpriced and below is a bargain.
Later the PEGY ratio, a variation of the PEG ratio that added dividend yield into the valuation came into prominence so that mature, dividend paying companies are treated “fairly” . The PEGY ratio emerged in the 1990s as analysts and portfolio managers began adapting the PEG ratio for dividend paying companies. The concept is a natural extension of Peter Lynch’s PEG logic: If growth matters, and dividends matter, combine them into one valuation metric.
PEGY (Price/Earnings Growth% and Dividend Yield) is a straightforward modification of the PEG ratio that adds dividend yield to the growth term so that mature, dividend paying companies aren’t penalized by low growth rates alone. The formula is typically written as:
PEGY=(Price/Earnings)/(Earnings growth %+Dividend yield%)
Peter Lynch (One Up on Wall Street, 1989) is the most cited printed source that describes a dividend adjusted PEG concept and applies it as a practical screening rule for investors. PEGY is in Chapter “Some Fabulous Numbers”.
If earnings are negative, then the PEGY ratio will be negative, and it is best to invest in companies that make money. That is, positive PEGY ratio.
The PEGY ratio can have different ratios depending upon whether historical data is used (Mario Farina preference) or whether forward looking earnings (Peter Lynch preference) is used in the calculations.
Enough for the history lesson. You can quickly go through your watchlist and determine which stocks have a PEGY Ratio from 0 to 1 and eliminate the others. Then whittle down that list to find stocks travelling from bottom left to upper right on the page. Use any other indicators on that reduced list that your tradng plan uses and there you have your list of stocks in which to invest.

MTF CPRThe Central Pivot Range (CPR) is a technical indicator used to identify key price levels, trend direction, and market volatility.
This script provides a comprehensive MTF CPR engine that tracks Daily, Weekly, and Monthly levels simultaneously. It identifies "Fair Value" through the Central Pivot Range, allowing traders to maintain a clear structural bias across multiple timeframes without switching charts.
Unlike fixed-ratio pivots, these Standard Deviations are projected based on the internal width of each specific CPR. This dynamic calculation ensures that volatility targets (SD levels) are relative to the market's current compression or expansion, providing more accurate exhaustion points.
The indicator offers total control over every timeframe independently. Users can customize the number of SD levels, the specific step-multiplier for each timeframe, and all visual properties including line width, color, and style to ensure maximum chart clarity.
Use it with VWAP for additional confluence.
Predictive Candle and Accuracy CoreThis Predictive Candle – Accuracy Core indicator is designed to project the likely direction and size of the next candle based on market microstructure, volatility, momentum, and volume dynamics. It calculates a delta-based volume imbalance, RSI, EMA distances, ATR, and ADX to assess both the strength and trend of the market. The script applies a market regime filter to allow predictions only when trends are strong and aligned, then computes weighted bullish and bearish scores, normalizes them into probabilities, and self-measures its historical accuracy. Using this, it projects the next candle’s body and wicks, color-coded green or red for bullish or bearish, with a confidence percentage label. The projection adjusts dynamically for volatility, ADX strength, and prediction accuracy, providing traders with a quantitative, adaptive visual cue for potential price movement without repainting.
Volume + ATR Robust Z-Score Suite (MAD)Measure relevant volumes together with high-volatility candles, providing initiative signals based on volume. Mark the relevant candle and use it as support or resistance.
cephxs / New X Opening Gaps [Pro +]NWOG & NDOG - OPENING GAPS
Smart Gap Detection with Intelligent Filtering
Visualizes New Week Opening Gaps (NWOGs) and New Day Opening Gaps (NDOGs) with built-in intelligence to show you only what matters. No more cluttered charts with gaps from 3 months ago that price will never revisit.
THE PROBLEM WITH GAP INDICATORS
Most gap indicators dump every single gap on your chart and call it a day. You end up with 50 boxes cluttering your screen, half of which are miles away from current price and the other half are so tiny they're basically noise.
This one's different and I explain why below.
SMART FILTERING (THE GOOD STUFF)
Two filters work together to keep your chart clean:
Size Filter: Uses ATR-based detection to filter out insignificant gaps, dynamic with less volatile time periods
- Filter None: Show everything (if you really want chaos)
- Filter Insignificant: Hide the micro-gaps that don't matter
- Juicy Gaps Only: Only show gaps worth paying attention to
Distance Filter: Only displays gaps within range of current price
- Really Close: 0.5 ATR - tight focus on immediate levels
- Balanced: 1 ATR - sweet spot for most traders
- Slightly Far: 3 ATR - wider view for swing traders
Cleanup Interval: Controls how quickly out-of-range gaps disappear
- Immediately: Gaps hide/show every bar as price moves
- 5 / 15 / 30 Minutes: Gaps only update visibility at interval boundaries - reduces visual noise during choppy price action
The magic: gaps appear and disappear as price moves toward or away from them. Old gaps that price has left behind fade out, and gaps that become relevant fade back in. Use delayed cleanup intervals if you want gaps to "stick around" a bit longer before disappearing.
GAP TYPES EXPLAINED
New Week Opening Gaps (NWOGs):
The gap between Friday's close and Monday's open. These form over the weekend when markets are closed and often act as significant support/resistance.
Two classifications:
Void Gaps: Gap direction aligns with Friday's candle direction (continuation)
Overlap Gaps: Gap direction conflicts with Friday's candle (potential reversal)
New Day Opening Gaps (NDOGs):
The gap between one day's close and the next day's open. Smaller but frequent - useful for intraday traders looking for fill targets.

Futures: Week opens Sunday 18:00 ET, closes Friday 16:15 ET
Stocks/Other: Uses session-based detection
FAQ
Why do gaps appear and disappear?
That's the distance filter working. As price moves, gaps that were far away become relevant and appear. Gaps that price leaves behind disappear. This keeps your chart focused on actionable levels.
What's the difference between void and overlap gaps?
Void gaps continue Friday's direction (trend continuation). Overlap gaps conflict with Friday's direction (potential reversal setup). Different traders prefer different types.
Why can't I see any gaps?
Check your filter settings. "Juicy Gaps Only" with "Really Close" distance filter is very selective. Try "Filter Insignificant" with "Balanced" for more gaps.
DISCLAIMER
This indicator is for educational purposes only. Opening gaps are one tool among many - they don't guarantee fills or reversals. Always use proper risk management and never trade based on a single indicator. Past gap fills don't guarantee future performance. Do your own analysis.
