Pulsar Heatmap CVD/OBV [by Oberlunar]Pulsar Heatmap CVD/OBV by Oberlunar is a non-repainting order-flow-like indicator designed to support fast, practical decisions—especially for day trading and scalping. It blends OBV and CVD into a structured heatmap with three lanes (OBV, CVD, and a blended COMBO) and splits each lane into two halves: flow pressure and price reaction (PriceΔ) . All values are normalised into the same range, so the intensity of each component is easy to compare at a glance.
In a simple sense, Pulsar Heatmap aims to provide a clean, integrated order-flow view: one framework that turns well-known volume concepts into a clearer read of market pressure and response. Personally, it feels like the kind of tool I would have always wanted on my chart, because it brings familiar information together into a more organic picture that is easier to use in real time.
Visually, the indicator is built around three main elements: the heatmap lanes , a pulsing triangle HUD , and a timed dashboard table . Under the hood, it follows a clear hierarchy: a Bias layer (directional context with a confidence percentage), a strict Signal layer (triggered only when full alignment occurs, with optional confirmation and stickiness), and optional timing logic based on ROC + Acceleration to validate impulses and highlight potential Exhaustion or Absorption regimes. With the option "Safe Mode" enabled, calculations update only on confirmed bars, so signals remain stable and do not repaint.
Optionally, the script can also print signal arrows/labels on the main chart only when a real Signal triggers (not when you only have Bias). To keep the chart clean, the same-direction label is not repeated unless the next signal appears at a more advantageous price than the previous one (for shorts: a higher price; for longs: a lower price). If the direction flips (SHORT → LONG or LONG → SHORT), label printing is re-enabled immediately.
What makes Pulsar Heatmap feel different is that it doesn’t leave you with two separate lines and a lot of guesswork. It organises the information into a readable decision map: pressure , response , agreement , disagreement , impulse , and timing . It was built with scalping in mind, but it’s not limited to scalping: the structure is useful whenever you want context first, and a strict trigger only when alignment is truly present.
Clean Trend Alignment (Ideal Continuation)
A “best case” scenario where flow and price response agree across lanes, so the system produces a high-confidence direction and a clean trigger. Show the heatmap with consistent colouring, the Bias band strong, and a confirmed signal/bias.
Setup 1 — Long Signal (Clean Alignment + Impulse)
In this example, Pulsar Heatmap transitions into a clear long setup when the system prints a LONG SIGNAL . The key idea is simple: the indicator does not enter on “bias” alone. It waits for full alignment across the internal lanes, optionally reinforced by the ROC/Acceleration impulse layer, and only then does it confirm a signal on a closed bar (Safe Mode).
What to highlight on the screenshot
The LONG SIGNAL label: this is the only moment the setup is considered “triggered”.
The LONG BIAS % label: this is context (direction + confidence), not the trigger.
The Triangle HUD : it visually summarises which component is driving the move (OBV/CVD/COMBO weight).
The Timed Table : show that Exhaustion is OFF while impulse metrics are supportive ( dynROC U and dynACC U positive).
If present, the Absorption state (e.g., ABS_LONG + “tight range”): it often appears during compression before expansion, and it adds context to why the breakout can accelerate.
How to read this long setup
Context : Bias is long (even if the % is not huge yet), and the system is not showing exhaustion.
Trigger : A LONG SIGNAL appears only after full alignment (with confirmation bars). If dynamic gating is enabled, the signal is valid only when the impulse agrees.
Quality checks : Positive dynROC and dynACC support the timing; absence of exhaustion reduces the risk of “late entry”. Absorption/tight range can indicate a “pressure build-up” phase.
Practical scalping execution (simple rule set)
Entry timing: consider the entry only on (or immediately after) the confirmed LONG SIGNAL candle.
Risk idea: invalidate the setup if the signal flips, or if price falls back into the compression/range that preceded the move (common absorption-breakout logic).
Exit clue: if Exhaustion turns ON or impulse weakens (acceleration flips), treat it as a warning to reduce exposure or take profit.
Setup 2 — Short Signal After Compression (Absorption → Release)
In this screenshot the short trade idea is not coming from “red candles” alone, but from a very specific sequence: the heatmap shows a shift into bearish alignment, the system prints a SHORT SIGNAL , and the timed module confirms that the market was in a tight range while sell pressure started to dominate.
What this image is really showing
You have a SHORT SIGNAL label on the chart: this is the trigger moment (not the bias).
The context reads SHORT BIAS 18% : it’s supportive, but the execution decision is driven by the signal.
The table shows Absorption = SHORT with a tight range (Range % is low): this often means price was compressed while one side kept applying pressure.
dyn metrics are negative ( dynROC U < 0 and dynACC U < 0): the impulse is coherent with the short direction, so the move is not just “random drift.”
How to read the heatmap here
Earlier, the lanes are mixed (more “two-sided”), then near the signal, the heatmap becomes decisively bearish. That change matters: it tells you the market stopped being balanced and started leaning in one direction with better internal coherence.
Why is this short “high quality” in scalping terms
Compression first : absorption/tight range means the market was storing energy.
Alignment next : the signal appears when the internal lanes agree.
Impulse last : negative ROC + negative acceleration support a real downside push, reducing the odds of a weak, slow fade.
Simple ensure-you-don’t-overtrade rule
Treat the SHORT SIGNAL as the only “go” moment. If you only see bias without signal, or the heatmap stays mixed/disagreeing, it’s usually a lower-quality scalp environment.
Disagreement Zone (Mixed Votes, Higher Risk) — A Practical Exit Area
In this screenshot, Pulsar Heatmap is clearly warning that the market is no longer “one-sided”. You can still see a directional context ( SHORT BIAS 11% ), but the key message is the DISAGREE tag: the reminder that the internal votes are split and the flow/price components are no longer moving in a clean, coherent way.
What this means in a trend continuation is very practical: a Disagreement Zone is often a good EXIT area . When you are already in a short trend, this is the moment where continuation becomes less reliable and where the market can start rotating, stalling, or snapping back.
Why it works as an exit trigger
In a healthy continuation, the lanes tend to stay aligned. Here they don’t: one or more halves contradict the dominant direction.
That loss of coherence typically shows up before the chart becomes obvious, so it can act as an early warning.
For scalping, this is where risk/reward often deteriorates: spreads, noise, and whipsaws increase exactly when the indicator starts disagreeing.
How to use it in a simple way
If you are already short , treat DISAGREE as a signal to take profit, tighten the stop, or scale out .
Avoid adding to the position inside disagreement: even if bias remains short, the internal structure is not “clean” enough to justify aggressive continuation entries.
If later the heatmap returns to full alignment and a new SHORT SIGNAL appears (ideally at a better price), then the continuation becomes actionable again.
“DISAGREE during a short continuation: coherence breaks down. In practice, this is often an exit/scale-out zone, not a fresh entry zone.”
Setup 3 — Neutral State (Stand-By Zone, No Trade Yet)
In the following screenshot, Pulsar Heatmap is doing something very important: it is clearly saying NEUTRAL 0% . Even if, visually, price could “look” like it might resume upward, the indicator is not providing a directional edge yet. This is a classic stand-by condition: the market is transitioning, and the internal components are not aligned enough to justify a directional scalp.
“Neutral 0%: mixed votes and no dominant driver. Even if the price looks promising, Pulsar stays in stand-by until bias rebuilds and a confirmed signal appears.”
What to highlight on the screenshot
The centre label NEUTRAL 0% : this is the key message—no bias strength worth following.
The heatmap is mixed/transitioning: lanes are not consistently one colour, meaning votes are not coherent.
The triangle HUD sits close to the centre: it visually reflects “no dominant driver” right now.
The table can still show background context (e.g., Absorption with a tight range), but that does not override neutrality: it’s information, not a trigger.
How to interpret “Neutral” in practice
When the indicator is neutral, it means the system sees a balance between pressure and reaction (or conflicting components), so direction is statistically less reliable. In scalping terms, this is usually where spreads and noise can eat you alive if you force entries.
Why this is still useful (even without a trade)
Neutral is not “nothing”—it is a filter. It prevents you from trading when the signal quality is low, and it forces the workflow to be clean: wait for Bias to build, then wait for a confirmed Signal , and only then treat it as a real setup.
What you wait for next
If the market turns bullish again, you want to see heatmap alignment returning and eventually a confirmed LONG SIGNAL —however, in the following examples, the heatmap does not follow the trade completely (unlike the previous generated long signal). Thus, a long entry is very risky.
If the market rolls over, you want the opposite: bearish alignment and a confirmed SHORT SIGNAL . Until one of these happens, Neutral = stand-by .
Setup 4 — Impulse + Exhaustion (Late-Stage Move, Don’t Chase)
In this screenshot, you’re basically seeing a “timing warning” configuration. Price prints a sharp bearish extension, but Pulsar Heatmap is not presenting it as a clean continuation setup: the center read is NEUTRAL 0% , while the timed engine shows both Absorption = SHORT and Exhaustion = SHORT . That combination often means: the downside pressure was real, but the move is already in a late/fragile phase (good for managing an existing short, not for opening a new one).
How to read it (practical scalping logic)
Absorption SHORT = there was compression/tight action with persistent bearish pressure building under the surface.
Exhaustion SHORT = the impulse is “spent” or destabilising (acceleration signature is no longer healthy for continuation entries).
Neutral 0% on the main HUD = the system is not granting directional confidence anymore, even if the last candles look aggressive.
Translation: if you were already short, this zone is often for taking profit / tightening risk . If you are not in, it’s usually a wait-for-reset moment.
Possible mean reversions in yellow
Those yellow tiles are the indicator’s “caution prints” (the same colour family used to express DISAGREE ). They appear when the internal structure becomes mixed —i.e., some halves/lanes are not supporting the dominant direction cleanly (or a divergence-style conflict is detected). In practice, they often mark the transition from clean pressure to noisy/late pressure , which is exactly where chasing entries tends to be punished.
How to use them
In a trend continuation, yellow tiles are a strong hint to stop adding and to manage risk more defensively (or treat the phase as “risky trend reversion”).
When they show up near an extension candle (like here), they often signal that the move is shifting into a less stable regime—better for protecting profits than for initiating new entries.
Stepping back for a moment, OBV (On-Balance Volume) and CVD (Cumulative Volume Delta) are both classic tools for studying volume flow, but they differ in what they measure. OBV tracks cumulative volume using price direction: it adds volume on up closes and subtracts it on down closes. CVD tracks the net difference between buying and selling pressure, aiming to reflect the effective push from buyers versus sellers. Both describe the "force behind price" , but from different angles.
OBV is the more traditional approach. It increases when the market closes higher and decreases when it closes lower, so it often works well as a trend-support and divergence tool: if price rises while OBV falls, that mismatch can suggest weakness beneath the move. Because it relies on the close-to-close direction, OBV naturally aligns with trend confirmation across bars.
CVD , instead, is about the ongoing battle between buyers and sellers. Conceptually, it accumulates the net delta between aggressive buying and aggressive selling over time. Positive values tend to indicate stronger buying pressure; negative values indicate stronger selling pressure. Its focus is the tug-of-war itself—who is pushing, rather than simply whether the bar ended up closing up or down.
The practical differences are straightforward. OBV uses the closing direction to assign the full volume, so it tends to be more connected to the overall trend structure. CVD is usually more sensitive to shifts in pressure and can react faster when the market changes character. OBV is commonly used to confirm trends and highlight divergences; CVD is commonly used to spot early pressure changes and moments where one side starts to dominate.
This is also why combining them inside one normalised framework can be so effective. You are not relying on a single volume interpretation. You are pairing a trend-confirmation view (OBV) with a pressure-sensitive view (CVD), and you are making them comparable in a shared scale so agreement and divergence become immediately visible. When they agree, conviction is clearer. When they diverge, you often see important information—hesitation, absorption, or pressure that the price is not fully accepting.

Exhaustion
Absorption BubblesSUMMARY
This indicator visualizes absorption events by plotting bubbles on candle wicks where volume activity suggests one side of the market is absorbing the other’s pressure. Instead of raw volume, the script normalizes activity against a rolling standard deviation defined by the Lookback Period. Bubbles appear on upper or lower wicks depending on whether buyers or sellers are absorbing pressure. The goal is to highlight whether aggressive orders are being accepted or absorbed at key price points.
METHODOLOGY
Absorption occurs when one side of the market absorbs aggressive orders from the other, preventing continuation. The script measures normalized volume against a user‑defined threshold to filter out weaker signals.
Green bubbles on upper wicks → Selling absorption (buyers push price up, sellers absorb the buying).
Red bubbles on lower wicks → Buying absorption (sellers push price down, buyers absorb the selling).
Red‑colored bars highlight candles where large volume is concentrated inside the body, signifying aggressive selling activity.
Green‑colored bars highlight candles where large volume is concentrated inside the body, signifying aggressive buying activity.
The Lookback Period controls how many bars are used to calculate the rolling standard deviation of volume, letting traders adjust sensitivity to recent vs. longer‑term activity. Optional significant volume lines extend forward, marking areas where absorption was strongest.
FUNCTIONS
Normalized volume detection using rolling standard deviation
Adjustable Lookback Period for volume normalization
Dynamic bubble plotting on candle wicks (size scales with absorption strength)
Separate visualization for buying vs. selling absorption
Alerts for buying absorption, selling absorption, or any absorption event (only at bar close)
Bar coloring when large absorption occurs inside candle bodies
APPLICATION
Setup: Add the script to any chart and timeframe. Adjust the Absorption Threshold to filter out weaker bubbles and the Lookback Period to control how volume normalization is calculated. Red bubbles highlight buying absorption, often signalling potential price pivots - price can often go upwards from this. Green bubbles mark selling absorption, reflecting resistance to upward moves - price may go downwards from this.
Interpretation:
Green bubbles on upper wicks = sellers absorbing buying pressure.
Red bubbles on lower wicks = buyers absorbing selling pressure.
Larger bubbles = stronger absorption relative to recent volume.
Settings & Use:
Raising the Absorption Threshold filters out smaller bubbles, leaving only significant absorption events.
Changing the Lookback Period alters how “normal” volume is defined — shorter periods make the script more sensitive, longer periods smooth out noise.
Alerts can be set for buying absorption, selling absorption, or any absorption event, and they only trigger at bar close to avoid noise.

Smart Divergence Engine [ChartNation]SMART DIVERGENCE ENGINE — REPAINTING-PROOF RSI DIVERGENCE WITH EXHAUSTION CONFIRMATION
═══════════════════════════════════════════
Smart Divergence Engine solves three critical problems that plague free RSI divergence indicators:
PROBLEM 1: REPAINTING DIVERGENCES
Most divergence scripts detect divergence in real-time as bars form. This causes signals to appear, disappear, and reappear unpredictably—making them unusable for alerts or systematic trading.
OUR SOLUTION: Pivot-Locked Detection
Smart Divergence Engine evaluates RSI at the exact bar where price structure confirms (rsi ), not at the current bar. Once a divergence prints, it NEVER disappears. This is implemented via:
Full swing confirmation (Pivot Left + Pivot Right bars must complete)
RSI evaluation at historical bar: rsi , not rsi
Divergence triggers AFTER structure lock, not during formation
Technical implementation: The script stores RSI values at confirmed pivot bars using var floats (lowRsiPrev, lowRsiCurr, highRsiPrev, highRsiCurr), then compares these locked values when new pivots confirm. This prevents any possibility of historical repaint.
PROBLEM 2: FALSE POSITIVE OVERLOAD
Divergence scripts trigger on ANY price-RSI mismatch, flooding charts with weak signals during choppy conditions. No filtering means traders must manually screen out noise.
OUR SOLUTION: Shark Fin Exhaustion Filter
Before any divergence can be considered actionable, Smart Divergence Engine requires RSI to demonstrate genuine momentum exhaustion through our proprietary "Shark Fin" detection:
Shark Fin Logic (Not Found in Free Scripts):
RSI must pierce the outer volatility band by a configurable buffer (default 1.5 RSI points)
RSI must re-enter the band with directional confirmation (positive slope for bullish, negative slope for bearish)
Band width must exceed minimum standard deviation threshold (volatility qualification)
Cooldown period enforced (default 25 bars) to prevent signal clustering
This multi-condition filter dramatically reduces false divergences by requiring RSI to physically demonstrate exhaustion BEFORE structure confirmation matters.
Technical implementation: The Shark Fin state machine uses boolean flags (bullFinForming, bearFinForming) to track when RSI is stretched beyond bands, then validates re-entry using ta.crossover(rsi, lower) / ta.crossunder(rsi, upper) with slope checks (ta.change(rsi) > 0 / < 0) and volatility gates (dev >= finMinDev).
PROBLEM 3: NO VOLATILITY CONTEXT
Divergence scripts use fixed RSI levels (30/70 or similar) that fail to adapt to changing market conditions. What's "overbought" in a low-volatility regime differs drastically from high-volatility conditions.
OUR SOLUTION: Adaptive Volatility Bands
Smart Divergence Engine calculates dynamic overbought/oversold zones using:
34-period SMA of RSI as basis
1.618 standard deviation multiplier (golden ratio expansion)
Real-time band expansion/contraction based on RSI volatility
The bands provide three advantages:
Shark Fin events only qualify when RSI breaches ADAPTIVE thresholds, not arbitrary fixed levels
Band width (standard deviation) serves as volatility filter—narrow bands = low conviction moves get rejected
50-line midline provides regime context (above 50 = bullish bias, below 50 = bearish bias)
Technical implementation: basis = ta.sma(rsi, 34), dev = ta.stdev(rsi, 34), upper/lower = basis ± dev * 1.618. Shark Fin logic requires rsi < (lower - finBuffer) or rsi > (upper + finBuffer) to trigger, ensuring exhaustion is measured relative to CURRENT volatility, not historical constants.

═══════════════════════════════════════════
TRADING IMPLEMENTATION
═══════════════════════════════════════════
CONFLUENCE FRAMEWORK:
Highest-probability setups occur when three conditions align:
Bullish Setup:
Shark Fin confirms below lower band (exhaustion)
Bullish divergence prints at pivot (structure)
RSI reclaims 50 line (regime shift to bullish)
→ Entry consideration at next price structure (support, swing low)
Bearish Setup:
Shark Fin confirms above upper band (exhaustion)
Bearish divergence prints at pivot (structure)
RSI loses 50 line (regime shift to bearish)
→ Entry consideration at next price structure (resistance, swing high)
TREND CONTEXT:
Strong uptrends: Prioritize bullish divergence + lower band Shark Fins (buy dips)
Strong downtrends: Prioritize bearish divergence + upper band Shark Fins (sell rallies)
Range-bound markets: Use 50-line crossovers as additional confirmation filter
RISK MANAGEMENT:
Smart Divergence Engine provides CONTEXT, not entries:
Wait for price confirmation (engulfing candle, rejection wick, structure break)
Place stops below/above pivot structure that triggered divergence
Size positions based on distance to invalidation level
Divergence + Shark Fin = elevated probability, not certainty

PERFORMANCE & LIMITATIONS
═══════════════════════════════════════════
RESOURCE ALLOCATION:
max_lines_count: 500 (divergence + Shark Fin lines)

SIGNAL TIMING:
Divergences print AFTER Pivot Right bars complete. This is intentional:
Delayed signals are more reliable than real-time signals
Structure confirmation requires waiting for swing completion
Users demanding instant signals should use free real-time divergence indicators
Users demanding reliable signals that never disappear should use this
PANEL VS OVERLAY:
This is the panel version (overlay=false):
Renders in separate pane below price chart
RSI, bands, divergence lines, and Shark Fin fills appear in this pane
For price-chart annotations, use the companion overlay version (same logic, different rendering)
═══════════════════════════════════════════
This script implements proprietary methodology not available in regular community scripts:
REPAINTING-PROOF ARCHITECTURE
The pivot-locked detection system (rsi evaluation) is a non-trivial implementation that requires:
State management across bars using var variables
Historical RSI value storage at pivot confirmation
Divergence comparison between stored values (not current bar)
This architecture eliminates the #1 complaint with free divergence indicators: disappearing signals.
SHARK FIN EXHAUSTION LOGIC
The multi-condition state machine that validates momentum exhaustion is not found in free scripts:
Penetration threshold (buffer beyond band)
Directional slope confirmation on re-entry
Volatility gate (minimum standard deviation)
Cooldown enforcement (prevents clustering)
This filter layer was developed through extensive backtesting to reduce false divergences during choppy conditions.
ADAPTIVE VOLATILITY FRAMEWORK
The dynamic band system (34-SMA + 1.618σ) provides context-aware overbought/oversold detection:
Bands expand in volatile markets → signals adapt to conditions
Bands contract in ranging markets → tighter detection thresholds
50-line regime framework → directional bias context
This approach outperforms fixed-level systems (30/70) that ignore market context.
CONFLUENCE METHODOLOGY
The three-layer confirmation system (structure + exhaustion + volatility) was engineered to answer: "When is a divergence actually tradeable?" Free scripts detect divergence and stop there. Smart Divergence Engine asks: "Did RSI show exhaustion? Is volatility sufficient? Did structure confirm?"
This level of methodological depth—combined with repainting-proof architecture and professional-grade visual implementation—justifies closed-source protection and paid access.
═══════════════════════════════════════════
Smart Divergence Engine is engineered for traders who demand institutional-grade divergence detection without the noise, repainting, and false positives that plague free alternatives.
Access is restricted to maintain signal quality as methodology evolves.
Exhaustion Zone [by rukich]🟠 OVERVIEW
The indicator shows asset exhaustion — an area of interest where potential buying opportunities can be considered.
🟠 COMPONENTS
The indicator is based on a combination of fundamental tools designed to properly react to price movement and volatility.
It is displayed on the chart as a green line. When the price touches the indicator line, the candle lights up and is highlighted in green.
🟠 HOW TO USE
The best timeframes for using the indicator: 1D and 3D.
Since the indicator is used on higher timeframes, the price rarely reaches the indicator line, but it often shows a strong reaction when it does, which suggests that the indicator can be used for investment purposes.
Since the zone suggests potential buying opportunities, it’s best to act from the zone only when a reaction is confirmed. Confirmation may include a candle close beyond nearby fractals or the invalidation of the nearest resistance zone.
🟠 CONCLUSION
The indicator highlights an area of interest where, upon confirmation of a reaction, buying opportunities may be considered.
Trend Pulse Algo (LTM)Trend Pulse Algo LTM Indicator Description
Overview
Trend Pulse Algo LTM is an advanced multi layer technical indicator designed for TradingView that combines moving average MA crossovers confirmation signals pivot based structure analysis imbalance zone detection and overextension warnings to identify potential trend shifts continuations and reversal points. It aims to provide traders with reliable entry and exit signals in trending markets while highlighting areas of market inefficiency imbalances and overextended price moves that could signal exhaustion.
This indicator operates on a pulse concept where it detects rhythmic shifts in market momentum through layered MAs a quick MA for short term sensitivity a mid MA for intermediate confirmation and a long MA as a baseline trend filter. Signals are generated based on alignments and crosses between these MAs but with added layers of confirmation to reduce false positives such as requiring consecutive bars above below the long MA and breaks of prior pivot highs lows. It incorporates higher timeframe HTF analysis for imbalance zones to capture broader market context making it suitable for swing trading trend following or scalping on lower timeframes when combined with the overextension detector.
Unlike simple MA crossover systems for example standard dual EMA strategies this algo uses adaptive MA types based on timeframe pivot deviation for structural breaks and a tally based confirmation to filter noise. Imbalance zones identify fair value gaps or inefficiencies between candle bodies and wicks where price may retrace to fill. Overextension is calculated relative to the mid MA using a rolling mean absolute deviation MAD ratio highlighting potential tops bottoms in strong trends. The result is a visually clean or detailed based on mode overlay that colors bars backgrounds plots labels for signals and pivots and draws zones to guide decision making.
How It Works
MA Layers and Signal Generation
Three MAs quick mid long are computed using either SMA or EMA selected dynamically based on the charts timeframe for optimal responsiveness for example EMA on lower TFs for faster signals.
Early Signals A crossover of the quick MA above the mid MA while above the long MA triggers a Possible Bull label indicating early momentum shifts. A crossunder below triggers Possible Bear.
Confirmed Signals Bullish confirmation requires a set number of bars closing above the long MA plus alignment quick greater than mid and a break above the prior pivot high. Bearish requires bars below the long MA and a break below the prior pivot low. This uses a counter mechanism to ensure persistence reducing whipsaws. Breaks are detected via crossovers under of close versus prior highs lows.
State persistence tracks the current regime bull bear warn early coloring the chart accordingly until a new signal overrides it.
Pivot Detection and Structure
Pivots are identified by scanning for highs lows separated by a minimum bar depth with a percentage deviation threshold to confirm validity. This follows a zigzag like approach but with deviation filtering for robustness.
Labels like HH Higher High HL Higher Low LH Lower High LL Lower Low highlight market structure helping identify trends for example HH HL for uptrends or breakdowns. These are used internally to validate signal breaks.
Imbalance Zones
Zones detect imbalances or gaps between candle bodies and prior highs lows where unfilled inefficiencies attract price.
For bullish zones If open greater than close and high minus low two less than zero a zone is drawn from calculated top bottom limits. Bearish similarly for close greater than open.
Supports current TF HTF or both. Zones extend rightward until filled price touches the opposite side or mid line if enabled then either delete or shorten based on settings. Mid lines can act as fill triggers for partial closures.
HTF data is fetched via security for broader context resetting on new HTF bars.
Overextension Indicator
Measures price deviation from the mid MA relative to a rolling average RMA of relative deviations over a length.
Multipliers define tiers mild for example two times avg deviation moderate three times extreme four times. Circles plot above below bars in bull bear states when thresholds are exceeded signaling potential reversals for example red for extreme tops in uptrends. This is akin to a Bollinger Band squeeze expansion but normalized to MA distance for trend specific warnings.

How to Use It
Setup Add to your chart via TradingViews indicator search. Adjust inputs based on asset timeframe for example shorter MA periods for volatile cryptos longer for stocks.
Trading Strategy Ideas
Trend Following Enter long on Confirmed Bull labels exit on Confirmed Bear or extreme overextension circles. Use imbalance zones as support resistance for stops targets for example buy dips to unfilled bullish zones.
Reversal Scalping Watch for Possible Bull Bear near pivot labels for example HL LL and overextension in the opposite direction. Confirm with zone fills.
Multi TF Analysis Set HTF to D for daily context on hourly charts zones from HTF often act as magnets.
Risk Management Place stops below prior lows in bulls or above highs in bears. Target zone edges or MA crosses. Avoid trading against strong states without confirmation.
Alerts Set up via TradingView for Early Up Down or Up Down Confirm to notify on signal edges.
Limitations Best in trending markets may lag in ranges. Test on historical data no indicator is foolproof combine with volume price action.
Detailed Input Settings
Below is a comprehensive breakdown of all user adjustable inputs from the settings panel grouped as in the script. Each explains what it controls its effect on the indicators logic and usage tips. Defaults are provided for reference.
Chart Mode
Chart Mode default Detailed Mode options Clean Mode Balanced Mode Detailed Mode
Controls visual detail level. Clean Mode hides MAs imbalance zones and pivots for a minimal overlay focused on signals and coloring. Balanced Mode shows MAs and signals but omits zones pivots. Detailed Mode displays everything for in depth analysis. Use Clean for live trading to reduce clutter Detailed for backtesting structure review.
Display Settings
Color Style default Candles options Background Candles
Determines how states bull bear warn early are visualized. Background colors the chart area for example green shading for bull. Candles colors bar bodies wicks directly. Background is subtler for multi indicator setups Candles emphasizes signals on naked charts.
Imbalance Zone HTF Config
Higher TF Period default D
Sets the higher timeframe for imbalance detection for example D for daily four H for four hour. This fetches broader data to identify significant zones. Use a TF four to five times your current for context for example daily on one H charts avoid very high TFs like W on intraday for relevance.
TF Mode default Current TF options Current TF Current plus HTF HTF Only
Defines timeframe handling for zones. Current TF uses only your charts TF. Current plus HTF combines both for layered zones. HTF Only ignores current TF. Current plus HTF is ideal for multi TF confluence HTF Only simplifies for swing traders.
Shift default ten min zero max five hundred
Horizontal offset in bars for current TF zone labels. Higher values shift labels rightward to avoid overlap. Adjust if labels crowd the chart.
HTF Shift default twenty min zero max five hundred
Similar to Shift but for HTF zone labels. Use larger offsets for HTF to distinguish them visually.
Imbalance Zone Core Options
Mid Line Fill default false
Enables a midpoint line in each zone zones fill close short when price touches this mid line instead of the far edge. Activates partial fill logic for more conservative zone closure. Enable for tighter risk in volatile markets.
Remove Filled Zones default true
If true completely deletes filled zones if false shortens them to the fill point keeping history. True clears clutter false retains context for review.
Display TF on Zone default false
Shows the timeframe for example D IZ on zone labels. Useful for distinguishing current versus HTF zones in combined mode.
Max Upward Zones default twenty min one max fifty
Limits displayed bullish upward zones removes oldest when exceeded. Lower for cleaner charts higher for historical depth.
Max Downward Zones default twenty min one max fifty
Same as above but for bearish downward zones.

CipherThis indicator identifies potential reversal points through volume exhaustion analysis combined with multi-factor confirmation, volume distribution patterns at price extremes, market state classification based on volatility characteristics, and time-weighted probability calculations. Each component reduces false signals that single-factor indicators typically produce.
METHODOLOGY:
The system continuously monitors market conditions across multiple dimensions. When volume patterns indicate potential exhaustion at significant price levels, it checks for alignment with favorable market conditions and statistical probabilities. Signals only generate when multiple factors confirm, with entry triggered on momentum continuation beyond the exhaustion point.

Volumetric Spectrogram [by Oberlunar]Volumetric Spectrogram
A two-pole, price-relative volume profiler that turns regional buy/sell pressure into clean oscillators and actionable regimes in a multi-broker setup.
What it measures
The indicator divides the recent price span into bins and accumulates buy vs. sell volume in each bin, then summarises two regions with respect to the current price:
Upper (↑) — volume that traded above the current price (overhead supply/demand).
Lower (↓) — volume that traded below the current price (underfoot bid/pressure).
Per region, it computes BUY% and SELL%, then forms two normalised oscillators in :
Upper Osc = Upper(BUY%) − Upper(SELL%) → positive when overhead offers are being lifted (breakout acceptance), negative when overhead sell pressure dominates (resistance).
Lower Osc = Lower(BUY%) − Lower(SELL%) → positive when sub-price bids strengthen (support/absorption), negative when selling persists beneath price (weak underbelly).
Both oscillators are optionally smoothed with EMA and can be filled to zero or between curves for quick polarity/strength reading.
Candle-fill modes across brokers
The indicator supports multiple candle-fill policies tied to cross-broker volumetric agreement (e.g., spectral/range-only fills when ≥N brokers align above 70% bullish or below 20% bearish Buy%). This makes regime and pressure shifts visually explicit while filtering out unconfirmed noise.
How it works (core algorithm)
Over a lookback window, find the high/low and split the range into N bins .
For each historical bar, approximate “buy” vs “sell” volume using candle direction and the close relative to each bin’s midprice; update left/right profiles per bin.
Aggregate bins above the current price into the Upper region and bins below into the Lower region; compute regional totals and percentages.
Convert to signed oscillators and smooth (EMA length per input).
Scenario engine (table, every bar)
A compact table reports, for Upper/Lower: BUY Vol, SELL Vol, BUY%, SELL%, and Net%. A classifier labels 8 regimes based on oscillator sign and recent expansion/decay: Sync Long/Short (Expanding/Decaying), Opposite Signs (Widening/Converging), and Tilts (Upper/Lower). This helps distinguish trend continuation, fade risk, compression before break, and asymmetric pressure (e.g., “Tilt Lower — bid/support strengthening”).
# Example strategies and annotated cases:
There are different operational strategies:
1) Bottle-neck Strategy with multi-broker confirmation
When both oscillators are red and they compress toward the zero line (a bottle-neck [/i>), if the squeeze does not flip into the opposite trend but instead resolves in the same direction, you have a continuation setup that can be exploited:
• Pattern: both oscillators red → short, visible contraction (narrow, low-variance cluster) → break of the cluster lows → background shadow bars align bearish (multi-broker agreement).
Example:
This sequence often supports a 1.5–2.5 R/R trade, as in:
Bullish mirror
If both oscillators are teal and compress, then expand upward with multi-broker agreement, the scenario becomes bullish after several bars; the position can be profitable with a reasonable risk setup:
Example:
Follow-through:
Here are the additional, English “playbook” examples you can append to the previous description.
2) Dual-confirmation on volume spikes + multi-broker checks
When pronounced volumetric spikes appear (up or down), trend often reverses sharply. In the figure, the circles highlight the spikes; once the spike subsides (reversion toward baseline), the oscillator turns bullish. The double confirmation of two consecutive minimum spikes acts as support for an ensuing up-move, with fill colors confirming direction.
Chart:
Even with a single spike confirmation, the reversion from an extreme often provides actionable long setups.
3) Volume-pressure + regime-change (multi-broker)
A prospective long configuration emerges when bullish volumetric pressure dominates and bearish pressure fades, especially if this occurs after a lateral phase, followed by a bullish volume spike and multi-broker confirmation .
Chart:
Shadow bars subsequently confirm continuation in a bullish regime; however, a possible regime change is flagged by the scenario classifier and by a color flip in the volumetric borders ( “Possible regime change, but without multi-broker confirmation.” is an appropriate label when applicable).
Chart:
After a verified mean-reversion, price transitions into a bearish configuration: both oscillators turn red. One can wait for a pullback and seek short entries.
Chart:
As shown here, the regime change is anticipated well in advance by the oscillators and multi-broker pressure:
Chart:
4) Contrastive regime-shift with multi-broker validation
In a contrastive trading phase, the lower volumetric oscillator flips color first—buyers start attacking. The first set of background shadow bars does not agree with the regime flip; the second set does. This sequence (oscillator flip → later multi-broker agreement) is a robust early sign of a potential long setup.
Chart:
At the multi-broker level, all shadow bars turn fully green and the setup becomes unambiguously bullish.
Chart:
Note that bearish pressure can still be non-trivial on the volumetric scale—even if it does not reach prior extreme minima—so risk controls should reflect the residual supply.
Delta-bar coloring (optional)
Bars (or candle overlays) can be tinted by a multi-venue weighted bias:
Choose venues (OKX, Coinbase, Bybit, Binance, BlackBull…).
Weight by Equal / Last Volume / SMA Volume.
Apply deadband to suppress flicker around neutrality and a gamma curve to modulate opacity with |bias|.
This layer is independent of the spectrogram core but provides immediate market-wide flow context, consistent with the table and fills.
Inputs (essentials)
Calculation Period and Bins — resolution and depth of the price-range histogram.
EMA length — smoothing per oscillator (optional)
Fill options — to zero / between curves, gradual opacity by |osc|, min/max alpha.
Delta Bar — enable tinting, gamma, neutral band; venue list and weighting mode.
Reading guide
Upper > 0 & expanding : overhead supply is being lifted → breakout acceptance risk rises.
Lower > 0 & expanding : sub-price bids strengthen → pullbacks more likely to absorb.
Opposite signs widening : tug-of-war; avoid late entries.
Converging : compression → prepare for break.
Use the table’s regime label to keep the narrative honest bar-by-bar.
Notes & limits
Buy/Sell attribution uses candle direction and range partitioning (no L2/tick tape).
Venue aggregation relies on per-exchange volume and your chosen weighting; symbols must align (e.g., BTCUSDT pairs).
Oscillators are relative to the current price (regional) by design; they complement, not replace, classical volume profile.

Price–Volume Anomaly DetectorDescription
This indicator identifies unusual relationships between price strength and trading volume. By analyzing expected intraday volume behavior and comparing it with current activity, it highlights potential exhaustion, absorption, or expansion events that may signal changing market dynamics.
How It Works
The script profiles average volume by time of day and compares current volume against this adaptive baseline. Combined with normalized price movement (ATR-based), it detects conditions where price and volume diverge:
Exhaustion: Strong price move on low volume (potential fade)
Absorption: Weak price move on high volume (potential reversal)
Expansion: Strong price move on high volume (momentum continuation)
Key Features
Adaptive time-based volume normalization
Configurable sensitivity thresholds
Optional visibility for each anomaly type
Adjustable label transparency and offset
Light Mode support: label text automatically adjusts for dark or light chart backgrounds
Lightweight overlay design
Inputs Overview
Volume Profile Resolution: Defines time bucket size for expected volume
[* ]Lookback Days: Controls how quickly the profile adapts
Price / Volume Thresholds: Tune anomaly sensitivity
Show Expansion / Exhaustion / Absorption: Toggle specific labels
Label Transparency & Offset: Adjust chart visibility
How to Use:
Apply the indicator to any chart or timeframe.
Observe where labels appear:
🔴 Exhaustion: strong price, weak volume
🔵 Absorption: weak price, strong volume
🟢 Expansion: strong price, strong volume
Use these as context clues, not trade signals — combine with broader volume or trend analysis.
How It Helps
Reveals hidden price–volume imbalances
Highlights areas where momentum may be fading or strengthening
Enhances understanding of market behavior beyond raw price action

Institutional Orderflow Pro — VWAP, Delta, and Liquidity
Institutional Orderflow Pro is a next-generation order flow analysis indicator designed to help traders identify institutional participation, directional bias, and exhaustion zones in real time.
Unlike traditional volume-based indicators, it merges VWAP dynamics, cumulative delta, relative volume, and liquidity proximity into a single unified dashboard that updates tick-by-tick — without repainting.
The indicator is open-source, transparent, and educational. It aims to provide traders with a clearer read on who controls the market — buyers or sellers — and where liquidity lies.
The indicator combines multiple institutional-grade analytics into one framework:
RVOL (Relative Volume) = Compares current volume against the average of recent bars to identify strong institutional participation.
zΔ (Delta Z-Score) = Normalizes the buying/selling delta to reveal unusually aggressive market behavior.
CVDΔ (Cumulative Volume Delta Change) = Shows which side (buyers/sellers) is dominating this bar’s order flow.
VWAP Direction & Slope = Determines whether price is trading above/below VWAP and whether VWAP is trending or flat.
PD Distance (Prev Day Confluence) = Measures the current price’s distance from previous day’s high, low, close, and VWAP in ATR units — highlighting liquidity zones.
ABS/EXH Detection = Identifies institutional absorption and exhaustion patterns where momentum may reverse.
Bias Computation = Combines VWAP direction + slope to give a simplified regime signal: UP, DOWN, or FLAT.
All metrics are displayed through a color-coded, non-repainting HUD:
🟢 = bullish / favorable conditions
🔴 = bearish / weak conditions
⚫ = neutral / flat
🟡 = absorption (potential trap zone)
🟠 = exhaustion (momentum fading)
| Metric | Signal | Meaning |
| ---------------------- | ------- | ---------------------------------------------- |
| **RVOL ≥ 1.3** | 🟢 | High institutional activity — valid setup zone |
| **zΔ ≥ 1.2 / ≤ -1.2** | 🟢 / 🔴 | Unusual buy/sell aggression |
| **CVDΔ > 0** | 🟢 | Buyers dominate this bar |
| **VWAP dir ↑ / ↓** | 🟢 / 🔴 | Institutional bias long/short |
| **Slope ok = YES** | 🟢 | Trending market |
| **PD dist ≤ 0.35 ATR** | 🟢 | Near key liquidity zones |
| **Bias = UP/DOWN** | 🟢 / 🔴 | Trend-aligned environment |
| **ABS/EXH active** | 🟡 / 🟠 | Caution — possible reversal zone |
How to Use
Confirm Volume Context → RVOL > 1.2
Align with Bias → Take longs only when Bias = UP, shorts only when Bias = DOWN.
Check Slope and VWAP Dir → Ensure trending context (Slope = YES).
Confirm CVD and zΔ → Flow should agree with price direction.
Avoid ABS/EXH Triggers → These signal exhaustion or absorption by large players.
Enter Near PD Zones → Ideal trade zones are within 0.35 ATR of prior-day levels.
This multi-factor confirmation reduces noise and focuses only on high-probability institutional setups.
Originality
This script was written from scratch in Pine v6.
It does not reuse existing public indicators except for standard built-ins (ta.vwap, ta.atr, etc.).
The unique combination of delta z-scoring, VWAP slope filtering, and real-time confluence zones distinguishes it from typical orderflow tools or cumulative delta overlays.
The core innovation is its merged real-time HUD that integrates institutional metrics and natural-language feedback directly on the chart, allowing traders to read market context intuitively rather than decode multiple subplots.
Notes & Disclaimers
This indicator does not repaint.
It’s intended for educational and analytical purposes only — not as financial advice or a guaranteed signal system.
Works best on liquid instruments (Futures, Indices, FX majors).
Avoid non-standard chart types (Heikin Ashi, Renko, etc.) for accurate readings.
Open-source, modifiable, and compatible with Pine v6.
Recommended Use
Apply it with clean charts and standard candles for the best clarity.
Use alongside a basic structure or volume profile to contextualize institutional bias zones.

Momentum Variance OscillatorWhat MVO measures:
-PV (Price-Volume) Oscillator – how far price is from a volatility-scaled basis, then weighted by relative volume.
- > 0 = bullish pressure; < 0 = bearish pressure.
-|PV| larger ⇒ stronger momentum.
-Signal line (EMA of PV) – a smoother track of PV; crossings flag momentum shifts.
-Zero line gradient – instantly shows direction (greenish bull / reddish bear) and strength (paler → stronger).
-Extreme bands (±obLevel) – “hot zone” thresholds; being beyond them = exceptional push.
-Variance histogram – MACD-like view (PV minus slower PV-EMA) to see thrust building vs. fading.
-(Optional) Bar coloring & background tint – paints price bars and/or the panel on key events so you can read the regime at a glance.
-Auto-Tune – searches a grid of (obLevel, weakLvl) pairs and (optionally) auto-applies the best, ranked by CAGR vs. drawdown.
Core signals & how to trade them:
1) Define the regime:
-Bullish regime: PV above 0 and/or PV above Signal; zero line is in bull gradient.
-Bearish regime: PV below 0 and/or PV below Signal; zero line is in bear gradient.
-Action: Prefer trades with the regime (avoid fading strong color/strength unless you have a clear reversal setup).
2) Entries:
Momentum entry:
-Long: PV crosses above Signal while PV > 0.
-Short: PV crosses below Signal while PV < 0.
Breakout/acceleration:
-Long add-on: PV crosses above +obLevel (extreme top) and holds.
-Short add-on: PV crosses below −obLevel (extreme bottom) and holds.
-Histogram confirm: Growing bars in your direction = thrust improving; shrinking/flip = thrust stalling.
3) Exits / risk:
-Soft exit / tighten stops: PV loses the extreme and re-enters inside, or histogram fades/turns against you.
-Hard exit / reverse: Opposite PV↔Signal crossover and PV crosses the zero line.
-Weak zone filter: If |PV| < weakLvl, treat signals as lower quality (smaller size or skip).
4) Practical setup - Suggested defaults (good starting point):
-Signal length: 26
-Volume power: 0.50
-obLevel (extreme): 2.00
-weakLvl: 0.75
-Show histogram & dots: On
-Auto-Tune (recommended)
-Turn Auto-Select Best ON. MVO will scan obLevel 1.50→3.00 (step 0.05) and weakLvl 0.50→1.00 (step 0.05), then use the top-ranked pair (CAGR/(1+MDD)).
-If you want to see the top combos, enable the Optimizer Table (Top-3).
5) Visual options
-Bar Colors: Regime+Strength – bars follow the zero-line gradient (great for quick read).
-Extremes – paint only when beyond ±obLevel.
-Cross Signals – paint only on the bar that crosses an extreme.
-Background on breach: A one-bar tint when PV crosses an extreme.
6) Example playbook:
Long setup:
-Zero line shows bull gradient and PV > 0.
-PV crosses above Signal (entry).
-If PV drives above +obLevel, consider add-on; trail under the last minor swing or use ATR.
-Exit/trim on PV crossing below Signal or histogram turning negative; flatten on a drop through 0.
Short setup mirrors the above on the bear side.
7) Tips to avoid common traps:
-Don’t fade strong extremes without clear confirmation (e.g., PV re-entering inside + histogram flip).
-Respect the weak zone: if |PV| < weakLvl, signals are fragile—size down or wait.
-Align with structure: higher-timeframe trend and SR improve expectancy.
-Instrument personality matters: use Auto-Tune or re-calibrate obLevel/weakLvl across assets/timeframes.
8) Alerts you can set:
-Bull Signal X – PV crossed above Signal
-Bear Signal X – PV crossed below Signal
-Bull Baseline X – PV crossed above 0
-Bear Baseline X – PV crossed below 0

Monitor Cyclic Stickiness:
Persistent latching of Cycle Lines to extreme zones indicates a strong trend continuation. Unlatching and normalization could signal consolidation or a pause in trend momentum.
Exhaustion Markers & Reversals:
Exhaustion Markers highlight when a trend leg may be overextended. Combine them with Price Divergence or Key S/R Levels for stronger reversal signals.
Best Practices:
Use EchoPulse™ as a Trend Continuation and Exhaustion Timing Tool .
Combine with Price Action, Divergence Analysis, and Multi-Timeframe Confluence for high-probability setups.
Adjust chart timeframe based on your trading style — Intraday, Swing, or Positional.

Volumetric Tensegrity🧮 Volumetric Tensegrity unifies two of the Leading Indicator suite's critical engines — ZVOL ( volume anomaly detection ) and OBVX ( directional conviction ). Originally designed as a structural economizer for traders navigating strict indicator limits (e.g. < 10 slots per chart), it was forced to evolve beyond that constraint simply to fulfill it, albeit with a difference. The fatal flaw of traditional fusion, where two metrics are blended mathematically, is that they lose scale integrity (i.e. meaning). VTense encodes optical tensegrity to scale the amplitude of the ZVOL histogram and the slope of the OBVX spread independently, so that expansion and direction may coexist without either dominating the frame.
🧬 Tensegrity , by definition, is an intelligent design principle where elements in compression are suspended within a network of continuous tension, forming a stable, self-supporting structure . Originally conceived in esoteric biomorphology (c.f. Da Vinci, Snelson, Casteneda), tensegrity balances force through opposition, not rigidity. Applied to financial markets, Volumetric Tensegrity captures this same principle: price compresses, volume expands, conviction builds or fades — yet structure holds through the interplay. The result is not a prediction engine, but a pressure field — one that visualizes where structure might bend, break, or rebound based on how volume breathes.
🗜️ Rather than layering multiple indicators and consuming precious chart space, VTense frees up room for complementary overlays like momentum mapping, liquidity tiers, or volatility phase detection — making it ideal for modular traders operating in tight technical real estate.
🧠 Core Logic - VTense separates and preserves two essential structural forces:
• ZVOL Histogram : A Z-score-based expansion map that measures current volume deviation from its historical average. It reveals buildup zones, dormant stretches, and breakout pressure — regardless of price behavior.
• OBVX Spread : A directional conviction curve that tracks the difference between On-Balance Volume and its volume-weighted fast trend. It shows whether the crowd is leaning in (accumulation/distribution) or backing off.
🔊 ZVOL controls the amplitude of the histogram, while OBVX controls the curvature and slope of the spread. Without sacrificing breathing behavior or analytical depth, VTense provides a compact yet dynamic lens to track both expansion pressure and directional bias within a single footprint.
🌊 Volumetric Tensegrity forecasts breakout readiness, trend fatigue, and compression zones by measuring the volatility within volume . Unlike traditional tools that track volatility of price, this indicator reveals when effort becomes unstable — signaling inflection points before price reacts. Designed to decode rhythm shifts at the volume level, it operates as a pre-ignition scanner that thrives on low-timeframe charts (15m and under) while scaling effectively to 1H for validation.
🪖 From Generals to Scouts
👀 When used jointly, ZVOL + OBVX act as the general : deep-field analysts confirming stress, commitment, or exhaustion. VTense , by contrast, functions as a scout — capturing subtle buildup and alignment before structure fully reveals itself. The indicator aims to be a literal vanguard, establishing a position that can be confirmed or flexibly abandoned when the higher authority arrives to evaluate.
🥂 Use the ZVOL + OBVX pair when :
• You need independent axis control and manual dissection
• You’re building long-form confluence setups
• You have more indicator slots than you need
🔎 Use VTense when :
• You need compact clarity across multiple instruments
• You’re prioritizing confluence _detection_ over granular separation
• You’re building efficient multi-layered systems under slot constraints
🏗️ Structural Behavior and Interpretation
🫁 Z VOL Respiration Histogram : Structural Effort vs Baseline
🔵 Compression Coil – volume volatility is low and stable; the market is coiling
🟢 Steady Rhythm – volume is healthy but unremarkable; balanced participation
🟡 Passive/Absorbed Effort – expansion failing to manifest; watch for reversal
🟠 Clean Expansion – actionable volatility rise backed by structure
🔴 Volatile Blowout – chaos, climax; likely end-phase or fakeout
⚖️ ZVOL Respiration measures how hard the crowd is pressing — not just that volume is rising, but how statistically abnormal the surge is. Because it is rescaled proportionally to OBVX, the amplitude of the histogram reflects structural urgency without overwhelming the visual field.
🖐️ OBVX Spread : Real-Time Directional Conviction Behind Price Moves
🔑 The curvature of the spread reveals not just directional bias but crowd temp o: sharp slopes = urgent transitions; gradual slopes = building structural shifts. Curvature is key: sharp OBVX slope = urgency; gentle arcs = controlled drift or indecision.
• Green Rising : Accumulation — upward pressure from real buyers
• Red Falling : Distribution — sell pressure, downward slope
• Flat Curves : Transitional → uncertainty, microstructure digestion
🎭 Synchronized vs Divergent Behavior
⏱️ Synchronized (high-confluence) : often precedes structural breakouts, with internal conviction clearly visible before price resolves.
• ZVOL expands (yellow/orange/red) and OBVX climbs steeply green = strong bullish pressure
• ZVOL expands while OBVX steepens red = growing sell-side intent
🪤 Divergent (conflict tension) : flags potential traps, fakeouts, and liquidity sweeps.
• ZVOL expands sharply, but OBVX flattens or opposes → reactive expansion without crowd commitment
⛔️ Latent Drift + Structural Holding Patterns : tensegrity in action — the market holds tension without directional release.
• ZVOL compresses (blue) + OBVX meanders near zero → structure is resting, building up energy
• After prolonged drift, expect violent asymmetry when balance finally breaks
📚 Phase Interpretation: Dynamic Structural Read
• 1️⃣ Quiet Coil : Histogram flat, OBVX flat → no urgency
• 2️⃣ Initial Pulse : Yellow bars, OBVX slope builds → actionable tension
• 3️⃣ Structural Breath : Synchronized expansion and slope → directional commitment
• 4️⃣ Disagreement : Spike in ZVOL, flattening OBVX → exhaustion risk or false signal
💡 Suggested Use
• Run on 15m charts for breakout anticipation and 1H for validation
• Pair with ZVOL + OBVX to confirm crowd conviction behind the tension phase
• Use as a rhythm filter for the suite's trend indicators (e.g., RDI , SUPeR TReND 2.718 , et. al.)
• Ideal during low-volume regimes to detect pressure buildup before triggers
🧏🏻 Volumetric Tensegrity doesn’t signal. It breathes , and listens to pressure shifts before they speak in price. As a scout, it lets you see structural posture before signals align — helping you front-run resolution with clarity, not prediction.
Liquidity Trap Reversal Pro (Radar v2)Liquidity Trap Reversal Pro (Radar v2) is a non-repainting indicator designed to detect hidden liquidity traps at key swing highs and lows. It combines wick analysis, volume spike detection, and optional trend and exhaustion filters to identify high-probability reversal setups.
🔷 Features:
Non-Repainting: Pivots confirmed after lookback period, no future leaking.
Volume Spike Detection: Filters traps that occur during major liquidity events.
EMA Trend Filter (Optional): Focus on traps aligned with the prevailing trend.
Higher Timeframe Trend Filter (Optional): Confirm traps using a higher timeframe EMA bias.
Exhaustion Guard (Optional): Prevents traps after overextended moves based on ATR stretch.
Clean Visuals: Distinct plots for raw trap points vs confirmed traps.
Alerts Included: Set alerts for confirmed high/low liquidity traps.
📚 How to Use:
Watch for Trap Signals:
A Trap High signal suggests a potential bearish reversal.
A Trap Low signal suggests a potential bullish reversal.
Use Confirmed Signals for Best Entries:
Confirmed traps fire only after price moves opposite to the trap direction, adding reliability.
Use Trend Filters to Improve Accuracy:
In an uptrend (price above EMA), prefer Trap Lows (buy setups).
In a downtrend (price below EMA), prefer Trap Highs (sell setups).
Use the Exhaustion Guard to Avoid Bad Trades:
This filter blocks signals when price has moved too far from trend, helping avoid late entries.
Recommended Settings:
Best used on 15-minute, 1-hour, or 4-hour charts.
Trend filter ON for trending markets.
Exhaustion guard ON for volatile or stretched markets.
📈 Important Notes:
This script does not repaint once a pivot is confirmed.
Alerts trigger only on confirmed trap signals.
Always combine signals with sound risk management and trading strategy.

VoluTility🌊 VoluTility forecasts trend exhaustion, breakout pressure, and structural inflection by measuring volatility within the effort stream. Built on the concept of ATR applied to volume, it doesn’t read raw volume — it reveals whether that volume is stable, chaotic, or compressing ahead of a move. The goal is to detect structural setups before they resolve. The lower the timeframe, the greater the alpha.
🧠 Core Logic
A zero-centered histogram shows the deviation of smoothed volume from its own volatility baseline. Positive bars indicate expansion; negative bars signal compression. Color reflects rate-of-change in volume volatility. Opacity tracks effort/result strength — showing when moves are real or hollow.
The overlaid ribbon (EMA vs HMA) highlights rhythm shifts. Orange fill signals real expansion; yellow shows decay or absorption. Together, they expose pre-breakout compression and exhaustion tails before price reacts.
🏗️ Structural Read
On the 1H BTC chart shown, price coils into a shallow pullback, compressing within a narrow range marked by shrinking candle bodies and muted wick aggression. A sudden expansion candle breaks the coil cleanly, with no immediate rejection or wick reversion. Price holds above the breakout pivot, establishing a baseline for structural acceptance and shifting bias toward continuation.
🔰 Zone Descriptions
🔴 Volatile blowout
🟠 Clean expansion
🟡 Passive or absorbed effort
🟢 Steady-state rhythm
🔵 Compression coil
🧐 Suggested Use
VoluTility is expressly designed as an overlay for sub-pane indicators, where it acts as a second-order rhythm map — exposing hidden structural pressure within volume or volatility streams. When paired with volume (like ZVOL or OBVX), it highlights when flow is expanding with intent versus fading into noise. When layered over volatility signals (like ATR Turbulence or WIRE), it reveals whether expansion has real effort behind it — or is just structural slack.
It pairs especially well with the Relative Directional Index (RDI), where its histogram and ribbon offer early exhaustion signals before traditional trend or momentum fades appear. On raw momentum tools, it acts as a filter: softening false breaks and confirming pressure-backed continuation.
Run on 15m or lower charts for early entry cues or breakout anticipation. On 1H charts, use it to validate compression resolution or detect fatigue before structure turns. It doesn’t react to price — it forecasts readiness.
RVOL Effort Matrix💪🏻 RVOL Effort Matrix is a tiered volume framework that translates crowd participation into structure-aware visual zones. Rather than simply flagging spikes, it measures each bar’s volume as a ratio of its historical average and assigns to that effort dynamic tiers, creating a real-time map of conviction , exhaustion , and imbalance —before price even confirms.
⚖️ At its core, the tool builds a histogram of relative volume (RVOL). When enabled, a second layer overlays directional effort by estimating buy vs sell volume using candle body logic. If the candle closes higher, green (buy) volume dominates. If it closes lower, red (sell) volume leads. These components are stacked proportionally and inset beneath a colored cap line—a small but powerful layer that maintains visibility of the true effort tier even when split bars are active. The cap matches the original zone color, preserving context at all times.
Coloration communicates rhythm, tempo, and potential turning points:
• 🔴 = structurally weak effort, i.e. failed moves, fake-outs or trend exhaustion
• 🟡 = neutral volume, as seen in consolidations or pullbacks
• 🟢 = genuine commitment, good for continuation, breakout filters, or early rotation signals
• 🟣 = explosive volume signaling either climax or institutional entry—beware!
Background shading (optional) mirrors these zones across the pane for structural scanning at a glance. Volume bars can be toggled between full-stack mode or clean column view. Every layer is modular—built for composability with tools like ZVOL or OBVX Conviction Bias.
🧐 Ideal Use-Cases:
• 🕰 HTF bias anchoring → LTF execution
• 🧭 Identifying when structure is being driven by real crowd pressure
• 🚫 Fading green/fuchsia bars that fail to break structure
• ✅ Riding green/fuchsia follow-through in directional moves
🍷 Recommended Pairings:
• ZVOL for statistically significant volume anomaly detection
• OBVX Conviction Bias ↔️ for directional confirmation of effort zones
• SUPeR TReND 2.718 for structure-congruent entry filtering
• ATR Turbulence Ribbon to distinguish expansion pressure from churn
🥁 RVOL Effort Matrix is all about seeing—how much pressure is behind a move, whether that pressure is sustainable, and whether the crowd is aligned with price. It's volume, but readable. It’s structure, but dynamic. It’s the difference between obeying noise and trading to the beat of the market.
Volatility Price FlowCapitalize on market volatility with our new volatility price flow indicator. We have designed this indicator to process historical price movements and indicate when price may have reached exhaustion in the context of current volatility.
This is achieved by taking the price deviation from a user defined moving average, and applying a weighting to the deviations from the candle body and candle wick on both buy side and sell side, over a user defined period. The period of the base moving average, type of moving average and the period of the historical price deviations can all be modified. This creates a typical 'band' style indicator, though with a unique characteristic that the buy and sell side vary independently as well as the band expansion being based on weighted variables tied to the actual price changes, rather than just a standard deviation the moves uniformly.
Additionally, these bands can be merged with an anchored vwap - we do this so that the deviations of price from the moving average can include a more volume based approach to identifying potential pivots.
The end result is an indicator that reflects the current market price movements, identifies and capitalizes on impulsive or beginning moves to indicate potential tops / bottoms / reversals.
The signals are simple - anytime price closes within a band, having been outside the band, a signal is displayed. As a basic guide to setting the indicator up for the first time, we suggest reducing all of the multipliers to a value less than 1. Then gradually increase each one, until the signals reduce in quantity and improve in quality, starting with the price deviation multiplier, then the volatility multiplier and finally the expansion multiplier.
Last of all, alerts can be created based on the current chart timeframe and indicator settings, simply by adding an alert that uses the built in buy or sell signal.
Note: We cannot guarantee the accuracy of the signals provided, since the user creates the signals by modifying the settings, and as such we can take no responsibility for any trading losses incurred using the indicator and highly encourage all users to manage their risk and only risk what you can afford to lose.
Liquidations Meter [LuxAlgo]The Liquidation Meter aims to gauge the momentum of the bar, identify the strength of the bulls and bears, and more importantly identify probable exhaustion/reversals by measuring probable liquidations.
🔶 USAGE
This tool includes many features related to the concept of liquidation. The two core ones are the liquidation meter and liquidation price calculator, highlighted below.
🔹 Liquidation Meter
The liquidation meter presents liquidations on the price chart by measuring the highest leverage value of longs and shorts that have been potentially liquidated on the last chart bar, hence allowing traders to:
gauge the momentum of the bar.
identify the strength of the bulls and bears.
identify probable reversal/exhaustion points.
Liquidation of low-leveraged positions can be indicative of exhaustion.
🔹 Liquidation Price Calculator
A liquidation price calculator might come in handy when you need to calculate at what price level your leveraged position in Crypto, Forex, Stocks, or any other asset class gets liquidated to add a protective stop to mitigate risk. Monitoring an open position gets easier if the trader can calculate the total risk in order for them to choose the right amount of margin and leverage.
Liquidation price is the distance from the trader's entry price to the price where trader's leveraged position gets liquidated due to a loss. As the leverage is increased, the distance from trader's entry price to the liquidation price shrinks.
While you have one or several trades open you can quickly check their liquidation levels and determine which one of the trades is closest to their liquidation price.
If you are a day trader that uses leverage and you want to know which trade has the best outlook you can calculate the liquidation price to see which one of the trades looks best.
🔹 Dashboard
The bar statistics option enables measuring and presenting trading activity, volatility, and probable liquidations for the last chart bar.
🔶 DETAILS
It's important to note that liquidation price calculator tool uses a formula to calculate the liquidation price based on the entry price + leverage ratio.
Other factors such as leveraged fees, position size, and other interest payments have been excluded since they are variables that don’t directly affect the level of liquidation of a leveraged position.
The calculator also assumes that traders are using an isolated margin for one single position and does not take into consideration the additional margin they might have in their account.
🔹Liquidation price formula
the liquidation distance in percentage = 100 / leverage ratio
the liquidation distance in price = current asset price x the liquidation distance in percentage
the liquidation price (longs) = current asset price – the liquidation distance in price
the liquidation price (shorts) = current asset price + the liquidation distance in price
or simply
the liquidation price (longs) = entry price * (1 – 1 / leverage ratio)
the liquidation price (shorts) = entry price * (1 + 1 / leverage ratio)
Example:
Let’s say that you are trading a leverage ratio of 1:20. The first step is to calculate the distance to your liquidation point in percentage.
the liquidation distance in percentage = 100 / 20 = 5%
Now you know that your liquidation price is 5% away from your entry price. Let's calculate 5% below and above the entry price of the asset you are currently trading. As an example, we assume that you are trading bitcoin which is currently priced at $35000.
the liquidation distance in price = $35000 x 0.05 = $1750
Finally, calculate liquidation prices.
the liquidation price (longs) = $35000 – $1750 = $33250
the liquidation price (short) = $35000 + $1750 = $36750
In this example, short liquidation price is $36750 and long liquidation price is $33250.
🔹How leverage ratio affects the liquidation price
The entry price is the starting point of the calculation and it is from here that the liquidation price is calculated, where the leverage ratio has a direct impact on the liquidation price since the more you borrow the less “wiggle-room” your trade has.
An increase in leverage will subsequently reduce the distance to full liquidation. On the contrary, choosing a lower leverage ratio will give the position more room to move on.

ATR Extension [QuantVue]The Moving Average ATR Extension Indicator offers a powerful blend of two key market elements: the Average True Range (ATR) and Moving Averages (MA), capturing the dynamics of market momentum and trend direction.
This indicator is used to measure market extension from a user-selected moving average based on multiples of the Average True Range (ATR). By doing this, it becomes remarkably straightforward to spot strength at breakout points or exhaustion near the end of a run.
As a market breaks out the extension indicates a surge in buying pressure, while an extension after a sizeable move can often be an indication of market exhaustion. This extended position essentially reflects over-enthusiastic buying and could be an early warning sign of a potential trend reversal.

Price Exhaustion IndicatorThe Price Exhaustion Indicator (PE) is a powerful tool designed to identify trends weakening and strengthening in the financial markets. It combines the concepts of Average True Range (ATR), Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD), and Stochastic Oscillator to provide a comprehensive assessment of trend exhaustion levels. By analyzing these multiple indicators together, traders and investors can gain valuable insights into potential price reversals and long-term market highs and lows.
The aim of combining the ATR, MACD, and Stochastic Oscillator, is to provide a comprehensive analysis of trend exhaustion. The ATR component helps assess the volatility and range of price movements, while the MACD offers insights into the convergence and divergence of moving averages. The Stochastic Oscillator measures the current price in relation to its range, providing further confirmation of trend exhaustion. The exhaustion value is derived by combining the MACD, ATR, and Stochastic Oscillator. The MACD value is divided by the ATR value, and then multiplied by the Stochastic Oscillator value. This calculation results in a single exhaustion value that reflects the combined influence of these three indicators.
Application
The Price Exhaustion Indicator utilizes a unique visual representation by incorporating a gradient color scheme. The exhaustion line dynamically changes color, ranging from white when close to the midline (40) to shades of purple as it approaches points of exhaustion (overbought at 100 and oversold at -20). As the exhaustion line approaches the color purple, this represents extreme market conditions and zones of weakened trends where reversals may occur. This color gradient serves as a visual cue, allowing users to quickly gauge the strength or weakness of the prevailing trend.
To further enhance its usability, the Price Exhaustion Indicator also includes circle plots that signify potential points of trend reversion. These plots appear when the exhaustion lines cross or enter the overbought and oversold zones. Red circle plots indicate potential short entry points, suggesting a weakening trend and the possibility of a downward price reversal. Conversely, green circle plots represent potential long entry points, indicating a strengthening trend and the potential for an upward price reversal.
Traders and investors can leverage the Price Exhaustion Indicator in various ways. It can be utilized as a trend-following tool, or a mean reversion tool. When the exhaustion line approaches the overbought or oversold zones, it suggests a weakening trend and the possibility of a price reversal, helping identify potential market tops and bottoms. This can guide traders in timing their entries or exits in anticipation of a trend shift.
Utility
The Price Exhaustion Indicator is particularly useful for long-term market analysis, as it focuses on identifying long-term market highs and lows. By capturing the gradual weakening or strengthening of a trend, it assists investors in making informed decisions about portfolio allocation, trend continuation, or potential reversals.
In summary, the Price Exhaustion Indicator is a comprehensive and visually intuitive tool that combines ATR, MACD, and Stochastic Oscillator to identify trend exhaustion levels. By utilizing a gradient color scheme and circle plots, it offers traders and investors valuable insights into potential trend reversals and long-term market highs and lows. Its unique features make it a valuable addition to any trader's toolkit, providing a deeper understanding of market dynamics and assisting in decision-making processes. Please note that future performance of any trading strategy is fundamentally unknowable, and past results do not guarantee future performance.
Reversal Signals [LuxAlgo]The Reversal Signals indicator is a technical analysis tool that aims to identify when a trend is fading and potentially starting to reverse.
As a counter-trend tool, the Reversal Signals indicator aims to solve the problem of several technical analysis indicators that perform well during trending markets but struggle in ranging markets. By understanding the key concepts and applications of the tool, traders can enhance their market timing and improve their trading strategies.
Note: It's important to explore the settings of the indicator to customize to your own usage & display as there are various options available as covered below.
🔶 USAGE
The Reversal Signals indicator is comprised of two main phases: Momentum Phase and Trend Exhaustion Phase . These phases help identify potential trend reversals in bullish, bearish, and ranging markets.
🔹The Momentum Phase
The momentum phase consists of a 9-candle count and in rare cases 8-candle count. In a bullish trend, a starting number ‘1’ is plotted if a candle closes higher than the close of a candle four periods ago. In a bearish trend, a starting number ‘1’ is plotted if a candle closes lower than the close of a candle four periods ago.
The following numbers are plotted when each successive candle satisfies the four-period rule. The potential reversal point comes when the Reversal Signals plot a label on top of a candle in a bullish trend or at the bottom of a candle in a bearish trend. The momentum phase is immediately canceled if, at any point, a candle fails to satisfy the four-period rule.
Based on the extremes of the momentum phase, the Reversal Signals generate support & resistance levels as well as risk/stop levels.
🔹 The Trend Exhaustion Phase
The trend exhaustion phase starts after completing the momentum phase and consists of a 13-candle count. In a bullish trend exhaustion phase, each candle’s close is compared to the close of two candles earlier, and the close must be greater than the close two periods earlier. In a bearish trend exhaustion phase, each candle’s close is compared to the close of two candles earlier, and the close must be lower than the close two periods earlier.
The trend exhaustion phase does not require a consecutive sequence of candles; if the order of candles is interrupted, the trend exhaustion phase is not canceled. The trend exhaustion phase generates stronger trading signals than the momentum phase, with the potential for longer-lasting price reversals.
🔹 Trading Signals
The Reversal Signals script presents an overall setup and some phase-specific trade setup options, where probable trades might be considered. All phase-specific trade setups, presented as options, are triggered once the selected phase is completed and followed by a price flip in the direction of the trade setup.
Please note that those setups are presented for educational purposes only and do not constitutes professional and/or financial advice
- Momentum: Enter a trade at momentum phase completion, and search for buy (sell) when the bullish (bearish) momentum phase pattern is complete. Ideally, the momentum phase completion should close near its support/resistance line but shall not be above them, which indicates continuation of the trend
- Exhaustion: Enter a trade on trend exhaustion phase completion, and search for buy (sell) when the bullish (bearish) trend exhaustion phase is complete
- Qualified: Buy (sell) when a bullish (bearish) trend exhaustion phase combined with another bullish (bearish) momentum phase sequence is complete
Long trade setups are presented with "L" label and short trade setups with "S" label, where the content of the label displays details related to the probable trade opportunity
Once a phase-specific trade setup is triggered then the Reversal Signals script keeps checking the status of the price action relative to the phase-specific trade setups and in case something goes wrong presents a caution label. Pay attention to the content of the caution labels as well as where they appear. A trade signal, followed immediately by a warning indication can be assumed as a continuation of the underlying trend and can be traded in the opposite direction of the suggested signal
It is strongly advised to confirm trading setups in conjunction with other forms of technical and fundamental analysis, including technical indicators, chart/candlestick pattern analysis, etc.
🔶 DETAILS
The Reversal Signals script performs the detection of the phases by counting the candlestick meeting the specific conditions, which includes:
- Detection of the 8th and 9th candle perfection during the momentum phase
- In some cases, the 8th count will be assumed as momentum phase completion
- Trend exhaustion phase counting stops in case any type of momentum phase completion is detected during the counting process
- Postponing the last count of the trend exhaustion phase, the 13th candle must be below/above the 8th candle and if not the candles will be indicated with '+' sign under them and the script continues to search for a 13th candle at the next ones until the conditions are met
🔶 ALERTS
When an alert is configured, the user will have the ability to be notified in case;
