AG Pro Anchored VWAP Event Map [AGPro Series]AG Pro Anchored VWAP Event Map
Overview / What it does
AG Pro Anchored VWAP Event Map is an overlay built to organize price action around Anchored VWAP after a meaningful starting point has been defined. Instead of treating VWAP as a single static reference, this script focuses on the relationship between price and a chosen anchor, then maps how the market behaves after that anchor is established. The goal is not to forecast price, but to make post-anchor structure easier to read in a consistent visual framework.
The script supports three anchor paths: Open, Swing, and Event. Open mode can reset the anchor from a daily, weekly, or monthly opening context. Swing mode rebuilds the anchor from a confirmed pivot high or pivot low. Event mode is designed for expansion-type situations and can anchor from a range expansion, a volume spike, or a breakout impulse. This creates a flexible workflow for traders who want to study how price responds to AVWAP under different structural conditions without switching tools.
Once the anchor is set, the script plots the Anchored VWAP, builds a distance band around it, tracks reclaim and reject behavior, and summarizes the current post-anchor bias in a compact panel. The result is a clean event map that can be used to study acceptance, rejection, recovery, or continuation around an anchored reference level. It is meant to simplify interpretation, not replace market context.
A key design goal of this script is clarity. The visual package is intentionally structured so the anchor, AVWAP path, distance zone, signal labels, and bias panel can be read together without turning the chart into a dense signal board. In practice, that means the indicator is most useful when it is treated as a contextual decision-support tool rather than a standalone trigger engine.
Unique Edge
The main distinction of this script is that it is not built as a generic VWAP overlay. Its emphasis is on post-anchor behavior. That means the visual logic starts from the selected anchor event and then evaluates how price interacts with the anchored VWAP afterward. In other words, the anchor is not only a starting point for the line itself; it is the center of the script's interpretation model.
Another differentiator is the combination of multiple anchor sources within one workflow. Traders can use opening-session logic, confirmed swing logic, or event-driven logic depending on the type of market behavior they are studying. This makes the indicator suitable for different styles of chart review while keeping the interface straightforward.
The distance band adds a second layer of structure. Rather than reading only the AVWAP line, users can also see whether price is operating close to the reference, stretched around it, or reacting from the upper or lower band zone. This helps frame whether a move appears to be re-accepting the anchored average, rejecting away from it, or trading in a more extended state.
The script also tries to keep the signal layer readable through selective label logic. Reclaim and reject markers are not intended to flood the chart. They are there to mark notable interactions with the anchored framework, while the panel provides a compact summary of the active anchor, current bias, distance, and latest signal state.
Methodology
The script begins by defining an anchor source. In Open mode, the anchor can be tied to a daily, weekly, or monthly opening transition. In Swing mode, the script waits for a confirmed pivot high or pivot low based on the selected swing length. In Event mode, the anchor is created only when a qualifying market event appears according to the selected event model.
For event-based anchoring, the script can use one of three internal conditions. Range Expansion looks for directional range behavior relative to ATR and recent structure. Volume Spike looks for directional participation with higher-than-average volume and a meaningful candle body fraction. Breakout Impulse looks for directional movement through recent extremes with supportive range and volume characteristics. These are practical anchor candidates for traders who want the AVWAP to begin from a meaningful change in behavior rather than from a calendar reset.
After the anchor is created, the script calculates Anchored VWAP using cumulative price-volume data relative to that anchor point. From there, it builds a distance band around the AVWAP. The band can be defined by ATR or percentage mode, depending on whether the user prefers a volatility-based or proportional framework.
Post-anchor bias is then derived from a simple internal score. The script evaluates whether price is above or below AVWAP, whether the AVWAP slope is improving or weakening, and whether price is trading beyond the distance band. This produces a practical Bullish, Bearish, or Neutral state. The intention is not to compress market structure into a perfect score, but to provide a compact directional read that can be used alongside the chart.
Reclaim and reject logic is based on how price interacts with the AVWAP and the surrounding band after the anchor is active. A reclaim highlights price moving back through the anchored reference with confirmation, while a reject highlights failure or pushback behavior around the band area. These events are intended as structural observations rather than guaranteed trade setups.
Signals & Alerts
The script includes reclaim and reject signal logic for both directions. These labels are designed to call attention to notable interactions with the anchored framework after the selected anchor becomes active. In practical use, reclaim behavior can be interpreted as a sign that price is attempting to re-establish acceptance relative to AVWAP, while reject behavior can suggest rejection away from the mapped zone.
Because market structure can become noisy, the script also includes signal spacing and density controls to reduce repetitive label clutter. This is especially relevant when anchored conditions remain active for long periods and price repeatedly tests the same area. The goal is to preserve readability while still marking relevant interactions.
Alert conditions are included for bullish reclaim, bearish reclaim, bullish reject, bearish reject, and a broader any-signal state. These alerts are deterministic within the script's ruleset, but they should still be used as workflow tools rather than interpreted as self-sufficient trading instructions.
Key Inputs
Anchor Source:
Choose whether the indicator should anchor from Open, Swing, or Event logic.
Open Anchor Type:
In Open mode, select daily, weekly, or monthly opening context.
Swing Length:
Controls how confirmed pivot highs and lows are detected in Swing mode.
Event Type:
In Event mode, choose between Range Expansion, Volume Spike, or Breakout Impulse as the anchor trigger model.
Event Lookback / Multipliers / Cooldown:
These inputs control how strict the event selection becomes and how frequently new event anchors can appear.
Band Mode:
Switch between ATR-based and percentage-based distance bands.
ATR Band Multiplier / Percent Band:
Define the width of the distance zone around Anchored VWAP.
Signal Density:
Helps regulate how aggressively reclaim and reject labels are displayed.
Panel and Label Size:
Allows the visual layout to remain readable across different chart styles and screen sizes.
Show Anchor Label / Show Anchor Level / Show Bias Ribbon:
These toggles control the visibility of anchor-focused visual elements and optional bias coloring.
Limitations & Transparency
This script is an interpretation aid. It does not identify the single correct anchor for all market environments. Different anchor choices can lead to different AVWAP paths, different reclaim or reject readings, and different conclusions. That is normal, and it is one of the reasons the script provides multiple anchor modes.
Event-based anchors depend on internal threshold logic such as ATR expansion, volume conditions, and breakout behavior. On some symbols or timeframes, those filters may trigger more frequently or less frequently than expected. Users may need to adjust event sensitivity and band settings to fit the market they are analyzing.
Reclaim and reject states are rule-based. They are not a guarantee of continuation, reversal, or follow-through. In sideways conditions, repeated AVWAP interactions can occur without producing a sustained directional move. The script can help organize those interactions visually, but it cannot remove market uncertainty.
The post-anchor bias is intentionally simplified. It is designed for readability, not for complete market classification. It should be read together with broader price structure, higher-timeframe context, liquidity conditions, and user-defined execution rules.
Risk Disclosure
This indicator is for chart analysis and workflow support. It does not provide financial advice, investment advice, or guaranteed outcomes. Markets involve risk, and any trading or investing decision remains the sole responsibility of the user.
No indicator can remove uncertainty from live markets. Anchored VWAP, reclaim behavior, reject behavior, and bias states are analytical references only. They should be validated with independent judgment, risk management, and broader market context before being used in any decision-making process.
Use this script as a structured visualization tool, not as a promise of performance or a substitute for disciplined trade planning.

AG Pro Displacement Quality Finder [AGPro Series]AG Pro Displacement Quality Finder
Overview / What It Does
AG Pro Displacement Quality Finder is designed to identify displacement candles that stand out for structural intent rather than simple size alone. Instead of highlighting every large bar on the chart, the script evaluates whether a candle shows the type of directional expansion that traders often associate with meaningful repricing. The goal is to help separate ordinary volatility from displacement events that may deserve closer attention.
The core logic focuses on the quality of the candle itself and the context immediately connected to it. A displacement candle can look impressive at first glance while still lacking the characteristics that make it useful in analysis. This script addresses that problem by combining body expansion measurements, marubozu-style pressure assessment, and optional volume confirmation into a single quality framework. The result is a more selective view of bullish and bearish displacement conditions.
Once a valid event is detected, the script does not stop at marking the candle. It also maps a follow-up reclaim zone derived from the displacement structure so the user can monitor whether price revisits, respects, or interacts with that area later. This creates a workflow that is not limited to signal spotting. It extends the idea into post-event tracking, which is often the more practical part of chart analysis.
The visual design is intended to keep the chart readable while still making the key information obvious. Displacement candles can be recolored, quality tags can classify stronger events, and reclaim zones can remain visible long enough to preserve market context. The panel summarizes the latest state and core ratios so the user can quickly understand why the most recent event qualified.
Unique Edge
The distinctive feature of this script is that it treats displacement as a quality problem, not just a range problem. Many tools mark large candles. This script tries to isolate higher-conviction expansion candles by checking whether the body is meaningfully large relative to ATR and average body size, whether the candle shows strong close-to-extreme behavior, and whether optional volume confirmation supports the move.
A second differentiator is the reclaim-zone workflow. Instead of placing a marker and ending the analysis there, the script projects a reclaim area from the detected displacement structure. That makes the tool useful both at the moment of expansion and in the bars that follow. Traders who study impulsive moves often care just as much about what happens after the expansion candle as they do about the candle itself.
The script also uses visual hierarchy to keep stronger and more relevant structures easier to read than older or lower-priority ones. This helps reduce the “everything matters equally” problem that often makes zone-based tools harder to use in practice.
Methodology
The script evaluates bullish and bearish displacement candidates using multiple filters that are designed to work together rather than as isolated checks. At the center of the model is body expansion. The candle body is compared against ATR and against an average-body baseline so that the script can judge whether a bar is unusually forceful for the instrument and timeframe being viewed.
A marubozu-proximity component is then used to assess directional cleanliness. In simple terms, the script looks for candles whose closing behavior suggests genuine directional pressure rather than a wide but indecisive bar. This helps reduce false positives from candles that are large in total range but weak in directional conviction.
An optional volume confirmation layer can be enabled for users who want displacement selection to include participation strength. This does not redefine the script into a volume indicator. It simply acts as an additional confirmation filter for users who prefer more selectivity.
When a displacement event qualifies, the script can recolor the candle and assign a quality tag. The quality tag reflects the combined strength of the measured conditions rather than a single-factor reading. The script then builds a reclaim zone tied to that displacement structure and extends it forward so later interaction can be monitored on the chart.
Signals & Alerts
The script is built around bullish and bearish displacement detection. When the selected conditions are met, the chart can display a quality tag and the displacement candle can be visually emphasized. Reclaim zones are then plotted so the user can follow the area after the impulse.
Bullish and bearish alerts can be used to notify the user when a qualified displacement event appears. These alerts are intended to identify the script’s filtered displacement conditions, not to predict the full future path of price. In practice, they are most useful as chart-review prompts or workflow triggers rather than as stand-alone trade instructions.
Key Inputs
Users can customize the strictness and presentation of the model through inputs such as:
- Body expansion sensitivity relative to ATR
- Body expansion sensitivity relative to average candle body
- Marubozu proximity threshold
- Optional volume confirmation
- Candle recoloring
- Quality tag visibility
- Reclaim zone visibility and extension length
- Panel font size
- Label font size
- General visual display preferences
These controls allow the script to be tuned for more aggressive discovery or more selective filtering depending on instrument behavior and timeframe.
Limitations & Transparency
This script does not claim to identify every important move, nor does it assume that every qualified displacement event will lead to continuation. Some valid expansion candles can fail quickly, while some useful moves may be excluded if the filters are set too strictly. That trade-off is part of any selective model.
Reclaim zones are analytical reference areas, not guarantees of support or resistance. Price may react, ignore the zone, briefly interact with it, or invalidate it entirely. The script is designed to visualize these areas in a structured way, but interpretation remains with the user.
Results can vary materially across assets, sessions, volatility regimes, and timeframes. Thresholds that work well on one instrument may be too loose or too strict on another. Users should expect to calibrate settings rather than assume one configuration is universally optimal.
As with most chart tools, visual density can increase if many qualifying events occur in the same region. The script includes hierarchy-oriented visual handling, but it is still best used with sensible chart context and reasonable parameter choices.
Risk Disclosure
This script is an analytical charting tool. It is not financial advice, not a promise of performance, and not a guarantee of future results. It does not know the user’s objectives, risk tolerance, execution quality, or portfolio constraints.
Displacement, momentum expansion, and reclaim behavior can all be useful concepts in market analysis, but none of them remove uncertainty. Users should apply their own process, risk controls, and independent judgment before acting on any chart observation generated by this script.

AG Pro Equal High / Equal Low Sweep Engine [AGPro Series]AG Pro Equal High / Equal Low Sweep Engine
Overview / What it does
AG Pro Equal High / Equal Low Sweep Engine is a price-action overlay designed to detect equal highs (EQH) and equal lows (EQL), track the liquidity pools that form around those levels, and highlight sweep events when price briefly trades through them and then closes back with confirmation. The script focuses on one specific market behavior: clustered highs and lows that tend to attract liquidity, followed by rejection-style sweeps that can mark failed continuation attempts, trap conditions, or local reaction points.
Instead of treating every wick through a prior level as equally important, the script separates untouched pools from already swept pools, applies a configurable tolerance model for defining EQH/EQL structures, and adds close-based confirmation logic so users can filter out weaker events. Short liquidity lines, band-style zones, trap labels, and a compact summary panel are used to keep the information visible without turning the chart into a large box-based map.
This tool is built for traders who want a structured view of repeated highs/lows and the liquidity behavior around them. It is not intended to label every possible swing event on the chart. Its purpose is narrower and more deliberate: identify equal-high / equal-low liquidity pools, monitor whether they remain intact or get swept, and display the sweep in a visually organized way.
Unique Edge
The main distinction of this script is that it does not attempt to map all forms of stop runs or all types of liquidity events. It concentrates specifically on EQH/EQL liquidity pools and the sweep lifecycle around those pools. That narrower scope allows the chart objects to remain more readable while still showing useful structure.
The script also distinguishes between untouched and swept states. This matters because a fresh liquidity pool and a previously swept pool do not represent the same chart condition. Untouched pools can still act as active draw-on-liquidity zones, while swept pools become part of recent context and may be interpreted differently depending on the user's framework.
A second differentiator is the combination of equal-pool detection, close confirmation, and optional quality scoring. Equal highs and equal lows are first identified using pivot logic and a user-defined tolerance percentage. Then, when price trades through the pool, the script can require either any wick, a reclaim close, or a stronger rejection close before confirming the sweep. An optional quality bonus can further weight events when relative volume and rejection characteristics are more supportive.
The visual model is also intentionally selective. Instead of using large generalized rectangles across the whole chart, the script uses shorter liquidity lines and band zones tied directly to the detected pool. This keeps the visuals anchored to the detected structure rather than creating broad areas that may overstate precision.
Methodology
1) Equal High / Equal Low Detection
The script uses pivot highs and pivot lows to build candidate swing points. When two highs or two lows form within the user-defined tolerance threshold and within the required bar spacing, they are treated as an equal-high or equal-low liquidity pool. Multiple nearby pools can optionally be merged into a cleaner combined structure.
2) Liquidity Pool Lifecycle
Once a pool is created, it is tracked as active until one of two things happens: it is swept by price, or it expires after its configured lifetime. The script maintains state so pools can be shown as untouched, swept, or removed when they are no longer relevant.
3) Sweep Confirmation
A sweep is not limited to price piercing the level. The script can require:
- Any Wick: any trade-through qualifies.
- Reclaim Close: price must close back through the level after the sweep.
- Strong Rejection: a stricter close-position filter is applied.
This helps users decide how sensitive or selective they want the engine to be.
4) Quality Logic
When enabled, the script calculates a quality score using rejection characteristics, close position, relative volume behavior, pool freshness, and pivot clustering. This is not a predictive score or a probability model. It is a contextual ranking layer intended to help compare sweeps on the same chart.
5) Visual Presentation
The script can draw:
- short horizontal liquidity lines
- band-style EQH/EQL zones
- optional reaction boxes after selected sweeps
- trap labels on confirmed events
- a summary panel showing current pool and sweep status
Signals & Alerts
The script includes alert conditions for:
- new EQH pool detected
- new EQL pool detected
- EQH sweep confirmed
- EQL sweep confirmed
- any sweep confirmed
These alerts are event-based and depend on the current settings used for confirmation and filtering. If stricter filters are selected, the number of confirmed events will naturally decrease.
Key Inputs
Pivot Strength
Controls how swing highs and lows are confirmed. Higher values usually produce fewer, more structurally significant pools.
EQH / EQL Tolerance %
Defines how close two highs or lows must be to qualify as equal. Lower values make the script stricter. Higher values allow broader matching.
Min / Max Bars Between Pivots
Controls the acceptable spacing between the two pivots that define a pool.
Sweep Close Filter
Lets the user choose between wick-only behavior and more selective reclaim/rejection confirmation.
Quality Bonus
Adds an optional scoring bonus when the sweep also shows stronger contextual characteristics.
Liquidity Line / Zone Length
Controls how far the liquidity structures extend on the chart.
Panel and Visual Settings
Allow the user to tune panel position, label size, color theme, and display density for different chart styles and timeframes.
Limitations & Transparency
This script identifies equal highs and equal lows using pivot-based rules and a configurable tolerance model. Because of that, results depend on the chosen settings, the symbol, the timeframe, and the chart's volatility profile.
A confirmed sweep should not be interpreted as a guaranteed reversal or a complete trade setup by itself. In some market conditions, price can sweep a pool and continue in the same direction. In other conditions, a sweep may mark only a short-lived reaction. The script highlights structural events; it does not forecast outcome.
The quality score is a contextual ranking aid, not a performance promise, win-rate estimate, or statistical edge claim. Different users may prefer different thresholds depending on market regime and execution model.
Band zones and reaction areas are visual approximations derived from the detected pool and post-sweep behavior. They are designed to improve chart readability, not to define exact institutional order blocks or guaranteed execution zones.
Risk Disclosure
This script is an analytical charting tool for studying equal-high / equal-low liquidity behavior and sweep confirmation. It does not provide financial advice, investment advice, or trade recommendations. All trading decisions remain the user's responsibility.
Like any technical tool, it should be used with broader market context, risk management, and independent judgment. No indicator can eliminate uncertainty, and past chart behavior does not guarantee future results.

AG Pro Previous Day Sweep & Reclaim [AGPro Series]AG Pro Previous Day Sweep & Reclaim
Overview / What it does
AG Pro Previous Day Sweep & Reclaim is an overlay built to map one very specific price behavior around the previous day’s range: a sweep of the Previous Day High (PDH) or Previous Day Low (PDL), followed by a reclaim back inside the level.
The script is designed for traders who want a structured way to observe failed expansion attempts around prior-day liquidity. Instead of treating every break of PDH or PDL as continuation, this tool focuses on the opposite question: when price briefly trades beyond a prior-day extreme and then reclaims that level, is the move showing signs of rejection strong enough to deserve attention?
The core idea is intentionally narrow. This is not a broad market-structure engine, not a support/resistance dashboard, and not a general breakout system. Its purpose is to isolate a specific sequence: sweep -> reclaim -> quality assessment. That single workflow helps keep the script readable and functionally distinct.
Signals can be confirmed on the same bar or on the next bar, depending on user preference. Once a reclaim is confirmed, the script assigns a quality score, draws a directional arrow, prints a reclaim label, and keeps the visual structure compact enough for practical chart work across intraday and higher timeframes.
Unique Edge
The distinguishing feature of this script is that it does not simply plot PDH and PDL, and it does not label every break as meaningful. It attempts to separate ordinary range interaction from failed liquidity grabs by requiring reclaim confirmation and then grading the event.
Its logic is centered on reversal-quality mapping rather than static level display. That means the script does more than show where the previous day’s extremes are located. It evaluates whether the move through those extremes was shallow or excessive, whether the reclaim was weak or decisive, whether wick behavior supports rejection, whether volume was comparatively active, and whether the event occurred inside the selected session context.
Another practical edge is the confirmation flexibility. Some traders prefer immediate reclaim behavior on the same bar. Others want one additional bar for confirmation. This script supports both approaches, plus an Either mode for broader detection.
The visual side is also deliberately managed. Reclaim labels, arrows, guide lines, sweep boxes, label spacing controls, visible label limits, and HTF label filtering are included so the output remains usable instead of turning into uncontrolled chart clutter.
Methodology
The script retrieves the previous day’s high and low and tracks live interaction with those two reference levels.
Bullish reclaim logic begins with a downside sweep:
- price trades below the Previous Day Low
- price then closes back above the Previous Day Low
- confirmation can occur on the same bar, on the next bar, or by either method depending on settings
Bearish reclaim logic mirrors that process:
- price trades above the Previous Day High
- price then closes back below the Previous Day High
- confirmation follows the selected reclaim mode
After confirmation, the script computes a quality score from multiple components. These components are intended to give structure to the event rather than to claim certainty about future direction.
The quality model includes:
- sweep depth relative to ATR
- reclaim strength within the bar range
- rejection wick fraction
- relative volume versus a moving average baseline
- bar range relative to ATR
- urgency factor for same-bar versus next-bar confirmation
- candle body bias
- session participation
The final score is normalized to a 0-100 scale and translated into a simple tier:
- A
- B
- C
- D
This score is not meant to be a prediction engine. It is a ranking tool that helps organize reclaim events by relative quality under the script’s own rules.
Session filtering is available because many traders only want to evaluate sweep-and-reclaim behavior during specific active windows. London, New York, custom sessions, or unrestricted monitoring can be selected.
For chart usability, the script also includes:
- previous day range fill
- optional reclaim guide lines
- optional sweep boxes
- reversal arrows
- reclaim labels
- summary panel
- visible label limits
- HTF smart label filtering
- minimum bar spacing between same-side labels
Signals & Alerts
The script produces two primary confirmed event types:
1. Bullish Previous Day Sweep & Reclaim
A downside sweep through PDL followed by a reclaim back above that level.
2. Bearish Previous Day Sweep & Reclaim
An upside sweep through PDH followed by a reclaim back below that level.
When enabled, the chart can display:
- directional reclaim arrows
- reclaim labels with score, tier, and confirmation mode
- sweep zone boxes
- short reclaim guide lines
Built-in alerts are included for:
- Bullish Previous Day Sweep & Reclaim
- Bearish Previous Day Sweep & Reclaim
These alerts are tied to confirmed reclaim conditions defined by the selected confirmation mode and minimum quality threshold.
Key Inputs
Reclaim Confirmation
Choose whether confirmation must occur on the Same Bar, Next Bar, or Either.
One Signal Per Side / Day
Limits repeated signals of the same side within a single day.
Use Session Filter
Restricts detection to the selected session environment when desired.
Minimum Quality Score
Filters out lower-ranked reclaim events.
ATR Length / Volume SMA Length
Inputs used by the quality model.
Ideal Sweep Depth (ATR) / Maximum Sweep Depth (ATR)
Define how the script evaluates sweep depth quality.
Label and Visual Controls
Manage font size, offset, sweep boxes, guide lines, visible label count, and general chart cleanliness.
HTF Smart Label Filter
Helps reduce label overload on daily, weekly, and monthly charts.
Minimum Bars Between Same-Side Labels
Introduces spacing between repeated bullish or bearish reclaim labels to prevent visual stacking.
Limitations & Transparency
This script is an analytical overlay. It is not a strategy, not an execution model, and not a guarantee of reversal.
A reclaim of PDH or PDL can still fail. Markets can continue trending after a sweep, especially during strong directional conditions, news-driven volatility, or low-liquidity distortions. For that reason, the quality score should be interpreted as an internal event-ranking framework, not as proof of future performance.
Session settings matter. Timeframe context matters. Confirmation mode matters. Label filters also affect what is visible on the chart, especially on higher timeframes. Users should understand that changing these inputs changes the strictness and presentation of the output.
This tool does not use order book data, broker-specific execution data, or hidden liquidity metrics. It works entirely from chart-based price and volume inputs available in Pine.
It is also important to note what this script does not attempt to do:
- it does not classify overall market regime
- it does not replace broader structure analysis
- it does not define entries, stops, or exits for the user
- it does not evaluate multi-level confluence outside its own reclaim framework
In short, it is a focused map for previous-day sweep and reclaim behavior, nothing more and nothing less.
Risk Disclosure
This script is for chart analysis and educational use only. It does not provide financial, investment, legal, or tax advice.
All trading decisions involve risk. Past price behavior around previous-day levels does not guarantee future results. Users should apply their own confirmation process, risk management rules, and market context analysis before acting on any chart signal.
Always test settings carefully and use the tool as one component inside a broader decision-making process, not as a standalone basis for trading.

AG Pro Stop Hunt Map Engine [AGPro Series]AG Pro Stop Hunt Map Engine
Overview / What it does
AG Pro Stop Hunt Map Engine is a price-action overlay designed to map potential trap zones after liquidity sweeps. The script focuses on moments where price briefly moves beyond an important reference level, rejects that move, and then closes back through the swept area. In practical terms, this helps traders visualize where a failed breakout or failed breakdown may have left trapped positioning behind.
The engine can work with pivot-based liquidity references, previous day high / previous day low references, or both at the same time. This makes it useful for traders who want a structured way to monitor classic stop-hunt behavior without relying on a single interpretation of liquidity. Instead of treating every wick beyond a level as meaningful, the script applies reclaim logic and filtering rules so that only sweeps with stronger reversal characteristics are highlighted.
The core goal is not to predict every reversal. The goal is to organize sweep events into a readable map: where the sweep happened, which side may be trapped, which zones remain active, and which levels are still relevant as price moves forward. That is why the script is built as a map engine rather than a simple marker tool.
This publication is especially suited to traders who study rejection structure, failed continuation, stop runs, and liquidity-driven reversals. It can be used as a visual context layer inside a broader workflow that may already include structure, trend, momentum, or higher-timeframe bias analysis.
Unique Edge
Many liquidity-sweep tools only mark a wick beyond a prior level and stop there. This script takes a more selective approach. It requires a reclaim condition, supports wick-to-body quality filtering, allows optional fake-sweep filtering, and maintains the resulting event as an actionable mapped zone rather than a one-bar marker.
Its main differentiation is the emphasis on post-sweep structure. Once a sweep qualifies, the script builds and extends a zone so the trader can continue monitoring that area after the original event. This provides a cleaner framework for seeing whether the market is respecting that trap region, moving away from it, or invalidating it.
Another important distinction is the visual hierarchy. The script is designed to separate nearest relevant zones from older or weaker context. This helps keep the chart readable while still preserving useful background information. Instead of cluttering the screen with every historical event at equal importance, the engine highlights what is currently closest and most relevant.
Methodology
The script first defines the liquidity source. Users can choose pivot highs and lows, previous day high and previous day low, or a combined mode that monitors both.
For a bullish trap scenario, price must sweep below a valid downside reference and then reclaim it according to the selected conditions. For a bearish trap scenario, price must sweep above a valid upside reference and then reclaim it. This creates two independent directional engines: one for bullish recovery after downside liquidity is taken, and one for bearish rejection after upside liquidity is taken.
The detection logic is built around several layers:
1. Sweep source selection
The engine checks whether price has moved beyond a chosen pivot or previous-day level.
2. Wick / body filter
The script can require a minimum wick-to-body relationship so that weak or low-conviction candles are filtered out.
3. Reclaim close requirement
The user can require price to close back through the swept level before the event is accepted.
4. Fake sweep filter
An optional penetration filter limits how deep price can move beyond the level before the event is treated as lower quality.
5. Zone persistence
Qualified sweep-and-reclaim events are not left as isolated markers. They are stored and extended forward as zones so the trader can monitor their ongoing relevance.
6. Nearest-zone emphasis
The display engine highlights the nearest bull and bear trap zones so current context is easier to read.
The result is a framework that treats sweep events as evolving market context rather than isolated historical dots.
Signals & Alerts
The script identifies two primary event types:
Bull Trap Reclaim
This appears when price sweeps below a valid reference level and then closes back above it, suggesting that downside liquidity may have been taken and rejected.
Bear Trap Reclaim
This appears when price sweeps above a valid reference level and then closes back below it, suggesting that upside liquidity may have been taken and rejected.
Visual elements can include:
- Sweep zones
- Trap labels
- Right-edge state tags
- Nearest-zone emphasis
- Origin markers on qualifying sweep bars
- A summary panel showing current state and nearest bull / bear trap information
Alert conditions are included for:
- Bullish trap reclaim events
- Bearish trap reclaim events
These alerts are event-based. They identify when a qualifying reclaim occurs according to the active settings.
Key Inputs
Sweep Source
Choose whether the engine uses pivots, previous day levels, or both.
Pivot Strength
Controls how strict the pivot reference detection should be.
Require Reclaim Close
Requires price to close back through the swept level before a zone is created.
Min Wick / Body Ratio
Filters low-quality sweeps by requiring stronger rejection candles.
Use Fake Sweep Filter
Enables an additional penetration-depth filter to reduce weaker events.
Max Penetration (ATR Multiple)
Sets the maximum allowed overshoot beyond the swept level when fake-sweep filtering is enabled.
Chart Mode
Allows a cleaner publish-style view or a more detailed analysis-style view.
Label Mode
Controls how aggressively labels are shown on the chart.
Highlight Nearest Bull / Bear Zones
Emphasizes the closest active zones for faster visual interpretation.
Summary Panel
Shows the current trap state, active bull and bear zone counts, nearest trap levels, and the last detected events.
Limitations & Transparency
This script is not a prediction engine and does not guarantee reversals. A sweep-and-reclaim event can still fail, especially in strong directional environments where price continues expanding after a temporary rejection.
Reference choice matters. Pivot-based detection and previous-day level detection describe different types of liquidity behavior. Depending on the instrument, timeframe, and volatility regime, one source may be more relevant than the other.
Filtering also changes behavior significantly. Tight wick/body requirements or stricter fake-sweep settings will reduce signal frequency. Looser settings will create more events but may also admit weaker structures.
Zones are contextual tools, not standalone trade instructions. Many traders may still want to combine the script with higher-timeframe structure, trend bias, volatility context, or execution rules before making decisions.
As with any chart overlay, visual cleanliness depends on timeframe, market conditions, and user configuration. Different settings may be appropriate for intraday charts versus higher-timeframe swing charts.
Risk Disclosure
This script is for chart analysis and market structure visualization only. It does not provide financial advice, trade recommendations, or guaranteed outcomes. Markets can remain irrational longer than a trap setup appears logical, and any liquidity sweep signal can fail.

AG Pro Inducement & Trap Quality [AGPro Series]AG Pro Inducement & Trap Quality
OVERVIEW / WHAT IT DOES
AG Pro Inducement & Trap Quality is an overlay tool built to map short-lived trap behavior around smaller inducement levels rather than broad market structure alone. The script focuses on moments where price appears to invite participation through a nearby internal level, briefly pushes beyond that level, and then reclaims it quickly enough to suggest failed continuation pressure.
In practical terms, this tool is designed to highlight a very specific type of behavior: local liquidity engineering around minor swing references. Instead of treating every sweep as equally meaningful, it evaluates whether the move shows the characteristics of a more deliberate trap sequence. This helps separate routine noise from cleaner rejection events that may deserve closer attention.
The script identifies compact inducement references, monitors whether those levels are exceeded, and then evaluates the quality of the reclaim using a rules-based scoring model. The output is intentionally visual and compact: trap labels, score readouts, engineered-liquidity context, and a lightweight status panel that keeps the chart readable while still surfacing the most important state information.
This is not a broad “smart money everything” overlay, and it is not a general market-structure engine. Its role is narrower and more specific: to help users study micro trap behavior around inducement levels with a structured, visual framework.
UNIQUE EDGE
Many trap-style overlays simply mark local sweeps or label wick rejections without distinguishing between low-quality noise and more organized rejection behavior. This script takes a narrower path.
Its core distinction is that it is built around inducement-first logic. The process begins with smaller internal swing references that may function as local liquidity magnets. From there, the script evaluates whether price briefly runs that level and reclaims it with enough quality to qualify as a more meaningful trap event.
This makes the script materially different from tools that primarily map:
- full structure breaks,
- broad liquidity sweeps across larger swing highs and lows,
- order blocks or fair value gaps,
- or generic reversal candles.
The objective here is not to classify the whole market. The objective is to organize one specific event class: short-lived inducement failure and trap quality around internal levels.
METHODOLOGY
1) Inducement level detection
The script scans for smaller swing references that can function as local inducement levels. These are not intended to replace major support or resistance logic. They serve as nearby internal references around which short-term trap behavior may form.
2) Sweep and reclaim logic
After an inducement level is identified, the script monitors whether price briefly trades beyond that level. A trap candidate is only considered when the move fails to sustain beyond the level and price reclaims the reference within a limited confirmation window.
3) Quality model
Each trap candidate is scored using a rules-based quality framework. The score is not arbitrary. It is derived from components such as:
- reclaim speed,
- relative volume behavior,
- wick proportion,
- and overshoot control.
The purpose of the score is not prediction. It is prioritization. A higher score suggests that the rejection characteristics were cleaner according to the script’s internal rules.
4) Engineered liquidity context
When inducement logic becomes active, the script can visualize engineered-liquidity context so users can see where price is interacting with a recently relevant internal level. This is meant to improve readability and sequencing, not to imply certainty.
5) Visual decluttering and presentation controls
To keep the overlay usable, the script includes compact labeling, importance filtering, label spacing controls, and a small status panel. These features are presentation tools designed to reduce clutter without changing the underlying trap logic.
SIGNALS & ALERTS
The script can visualize bull and bear trap events after inducement-level interaction and reclaim confirmation.
Typical readouts include:
- TRAP labels,
- quality score values,
- inducement / engineered-liquidity context,
- and panel status information such as recent trap state and current watch state.
Alert conditions are designed around deterministic script events rather than discretionary interpretation. As with any alert-based study, users should confirm how they want to use those events inside their own workflow before relying on them in live conditions.
KEY INPUTS
Important controls typically include:
- inducement swing sensitivity,
- confirmation window / reclaim timing,
- volume and wick weighting inputs,
- overshoot tolerance,
- compact label display,
- importance filtering,
- panel visibility and position,
- and vertical label offset controls.
These settings allow the user to decide whether they want broader coverage or a stricter, more selective readout.
HOW THIS DIFFERS FROM OTHER AG PRO TOOLS
This script is intentionally specialized.
It is not a BOS / CHoCH engine and does not attempt to label full structural transitions.
It is not an order block tool and does not frame the chart through block logic.
It is not a fair value gap map and does not organize imbalance zones as its primary lens.
It is not a broad liquidity sweep tool built around larger external swing raids.
Instead, this script concentrates on micro inducement behavior: smaller internal references, brief level violations, fast reclaim structure, and the relative quality of the resulting trap.
That narrower scope is the point. The script is designed to help users study one recurring behavior class in a more disciplined and readable way.
LIMITATIONS & TRANSPARENCY
This script is a visual and analytical aid. It does not know intent, news context, execution conditions, or participant positioning.
A trap label does not guarantee reversal.
A higher quality score does not guarantee continuation.
A low-quality score does not mean the area is irrelevant.
Internal inducement levels can vary in significance depending on volatility regime, instrument behavior, and timeframe selection.
Like any rules-based overlay, this script is sensitive to parameter choices. More permissive settings may surface more events but also more noise. Stricter settings may improve selectivity while naturally reducing signal frequency.
Users should also understand that inducement and trap concepts are interpretive by nature. This script translates those ideas into a deterministic ruleset for chart study. That conversion is useful, but it is still a model.
RISK DISCLOSURE
This script is for chart analysis and educational use. It is not financial advice, not a trade signal service, and not a promise of outcome.
All trading and investing involve risk. Market conditions can change quickly, and no indicator or overlay can eliminate uncertainty. Users should evaluate signals in context, apply their own risk management, and avoid treating any single chart tool as a complete decision system.
WHAT THIS SCRIPT IS NOT
To make the scope clear, this script is not:
- a guaranteed reversal detector,
- a one-click trade system,
- a full market-structure replacement,
- or a standalone execution model.
It is a focused overlay for studying inducement-driven trap behavior with a cleaner visual framework.
NOTES
Best use cases typically come from combining this script with context that the user already trusts, such as trend structure, higher-timeframe location, or broader execution rules. The tool is intended to improve organization and observation around inducement and trap sequences, not to replace judgment.
If you prefer a cleaner chart, use the compact display and importance filter settings. If you prefer a more exploratory workflow, relax the filter and study how the scoring reacts across different conditions.

AG Pro Pivot Points Reaction Map [AGPro Series]AG Pro Pivot Points Reaction Map
Overview / What it does
AG Pro Pivot Points Reaction Map is an overlay indicator designed to analyze how price behaves around classical pivot levels rather than only plotting those levels as static horizontal references. The script builds Daily or Weekly pivot structures from prior period OHLC data and then tracks the currently active pivot in order to highlight nearby price interaction, reaction quality, and short-term context.
Instead of treating every pivot line equally at all times, the script uses an active-pivot framework. This allows the chart to stay focused on the level that is currently most relevant to price while still keeping broader pivot structure visible in the background. The goal is to help traders evaluate whether price is reacting constructively, rejecting, reclaiming, compressing, or losing a key pivot area.
The visual design is intentionally split into two layers. The first layer is the classical pivot structure itself, including PP, R1, S1, and optional extended levels such as R2 and S2. The second layer is the reaction map built around the active pivot. This layer adds an ATR-based reaction zone, state detection, filtered event labeling, active context tags, and an information panel so the chart can communicate more than a simple “price above” or “price below” condition.
This indicator is intended for chart analysis, workflow support, and structured market reading. It does not attempt to predict future prices, and it should not be interpreted as a standalone trade execution system. It is best used as a contextual overlay that helps organize price behavior around widely followed pivot references.
Unique Edge
The core distinction of this script is that it is not just another pivot plotting tool. Classical pivot indicators usually stop at drawing levels. This script continues one step further by evaluating reaction behavior around the currently active level.
Its main differentiator is the active reaction framework. The script identifies a current pivot focus, builds a dynamic reaction zone around that level, and then classifies price interaction into states such as reclaim, loss, holding behavior, rejection behavior, and compression near pivot. This moves the indicator away from passive level display and toward structured price-context mapping.
A second differentiator is the sticky active pivot logic. Instead of shifting focus too aggressively whenever price becomes marginally closer to a different level, the script attempts to keep chart attention anchored to the current active pivot until conditions justify a transition. This improves visual continuity and makes the chart easier to read during multi-bar interaction.
A third differentiator is signal hygiene. Reaction labels can be filtered through cooldown logic, score thresholds, and event selection rules so that the chart remains readable. Major events can be emphasized while weaker or more repetitive reactions remain in the background. This helps preserve interpretability instead of overwhelming the screen with every minor touch.
Finally, the script combines chart-side cues with a compact state panel. The panel reports the active pivot, pivot price, current distance, live state, last score, and directional bias. This allows users to scan the present context without losing the full visual relationship on the chart.
Methodology
The pivot engine uses prior Daily or Weekly OHLC values to construct standard pivot levels. These levels form the structural base of the indicator. Depending on settings, the script can display the central pivot point together with first and second resistance/support layers.
From that structure, the script evaluates which pivot is currently most relevant to price and assigns that level as the active pivot. A sticky selection process is then used so the active focus does not rotate too easily on minor fluctuations. This helps the script behave more like a context map and less like a constantly flickering nearest-line tracker.
Around the active pivot, the script builds a reaction zone using ATR. This means the mapped zone adapts to the instrument’s recent volatility rather than using a fixed absolute distance. A wider volatility environment naturally leads to a wider interaction zone, while a calmer environment keeps the zone tighter.
Inside that zone, the script studies price behavior using a combination of position relative to the pivot, candle body structure, wick emphasis, and short-term displacement from the level. It also computes a reaction score designed to quantify how constructive or decisive the interaction appears under the script’s logic. Stronger reclaim or rejection characteristics can therefore stand out from weaker, noisier touches.
The result is a layered read of market structure:
- classical pivot references define the environment,
- the active pivot identifies current relevance,
- the ATR-based zone frames the interaction area,
- event logic classifies notable reactions,
- the panel summarizes the current state.
Signals & Alerts
The script can identify and label several reaction types around the active pivot. Depending on settings and score thresholds, these may include reclaim events, pivot loss events, reaction holding behavior, and reaction rejection behavior.
In addition to chart labeling, the script includes alert conditions for major workflow events. These are designed to notify the user when price is showing a notable interaction around the active pivot. Available alert categories include bullish reaction confirmation, bearish reaction confirmation, pivot loss confirmation, compression near pivot, and active pivot changes.
Because this is a contextual indicator rather than a complete strategy, alerts should be interpreted as informational events. They are intended to help users monitor evolving price behavior around important pivot areas, not to replace independent analysis, execution rules, or risk management.
Key Inputs
Pivot Anchor
Selects whether the pivot structure is built from Daily or Weekly source data.
Show R2 / S2
Allows the extended pivot structure to remain visible for users who want broader context beyond PP, R1, and S1.
Base Pivot Line Width / Active Pivot Line Width
Controls the visual hierarchy between background pivot references and the currently active pivot.
Reaction Zone (ATR Multiplier)
Defines the width of the active reaction zone relative to recent volatility.
Wick Emphasis
Adjusts how strongly wick behavior contributes to reaction interpretation.
Signal Cooldown (Bars)
Prevents labels and events from clustering too tightly during noisy price interaction.
Show Reaction Labels / Label Mode / Minimum Label Score
Controls which reaction labels appear on the chart and how selective the script should be.
Focus Mode
Adjusts how aggressively non-active pivot lines fade into the background.
Reaction Label Size
Changes the chart label size for reaction events and edge tags.
Show Event Markers / Show Active Pivot Halo / Show Right Edge Active Tag
Controls optional visual layers that can make the active structure easier to follow.
Passive Context Tags
Adds simplified right-edge tags for passive pivot references so faded background levels remain interpretable.
Show Info Panel / Panel Position / Panel Theme / Panel Font Size
Configures the summary panel to match user preference and chart layout.
Limitations & Transparency
This script is based on classical pivot concepts and volatility-adjusted reaction mapping. It does not know future price direction, and it does not forecast whether any pivot will hold or fail before price interacts with that area.
Reaction labels and scores are formula-driven representations of the script’s internal logic. They are not objective truth statements about market intent, and they should not be interpreted as guaranteed support, guaranteed resistance, or guaranteed continuation/reversal behavior.
Like all level-based overlays, the script can produce different impressions depending on the selected timeframe, instrument volatility, and chart conditions. Fast-moving instruments, low-liquidity environments, and sudden news-driven candles may reduce the practical value of any fixed structural framework, including pivots.
The active pivot model is intentionally selective. That improves chart focus, but it also means the script emphasizes one current pivot context over other simultaneously visible levels. Users who want a broader or more aggressive level-tracking style may prefer different settings than the default configuration.
The indicator is also not a backtesting engine and does not provide complete entry, exit, stop, or position sizing logic. It should therefore be used as one analytical component within a broader decision process.
Risk Disclosure
This indicator is for analytical and educational use only. It does not provide investment advice, trading advice, or financial advice.
Markets involve risk. Price can move through pivot levels without respecting them, reaction quality can deteriorate quickly, and conditions that appear constructive on one bar can fail on the next. No indicator can remove uncertainty from live markets.
Users should evaluate this script together with their own market framework, timeframe selection, execution process, and risk controls. Decisions involving capital should never rely on a single indicator, label, panel reading, or alert event in isolation. インジケーター
AG Pro EMA 200 Reclaim Map [AGPro Series]AG Pro EMA 200 Reclaim Map
Overview / What it does
AG Pro EMA 200 Reclaim Map is a chart overlay built to organize price behavior around the 200 EMA into a clearer workflow. Instead of treating the 200 EMA as a simple above/below filter, this script tracks how price interacts with that reference during reclaim attempts, acceptance phases, retests, and loss-of-level events. The goal is not to predict future price movement. The goal is to make the structure around a widely used long-horizon moving average easier to read on the chart.
The script highlights when price reclaims the 200 EMA, whether that reclaim is holding with acceptance, whether a retest develops after the move, and whether the reclaim later fails. A compact panel summarizes the current state so the chart can be read more quickly without reducing everything to a single binary signal.
This is designed as a decision-support overlay for traders who already use the 200 EMA as a contextual reference and want a more structured view of how price behaves around that level. It can be used on crypto, stocks, indices, forex, and other liquid markets, but outputs should always be interpreted in the context of the instrument, timeframe, volatility profile, and overall market structure.
Unique Edge
The main objective here is not to create another generic moving-average cross script. The distinctive part of this tool is that it treats the 200 EMA as a behavioral map rather than a yes/no trigger.
In many scripts, the 200 EMA is used only as a directional filter: price above equals bullish context, price below equals bearish context. That can be useful, but it does not say much about the quality of the interaction itself. A reclaim that is accepted cleanly after a controlled retest is different from a reclaim that briefly crosses the line and immediately loses it. Both may appear similar in a simple cross-based tool, but they do not carry the same structural meaning.
This script is built to separate those cases. It tracks whether a reclaim occurred, whether price is holding on the reclaimed side, whether a retest happened, how strong that retest appears relative to the script’s scoring rules, and whether the move later failed. In that sense, the script focuses on reclaim lifecycle mapping rather than raw cross detection.
Methodology
The core reference is the 200-period exponential moving average. From there, the script evaluates several conditions around that line.
1) Reclaim detection
A bullish reclaim occurs when price moves from below the 200 EMA to above it. A bearish reclaim occurs when price moves from above the 200 EMA to below it. These events define the initial transition point, but they are not treated as sufficient on their own.
2) Acceptance / hold logic
After a reclaim, the script tracks whether price remains on the reclaimed side for a defined window. This is used to separate fresh reclaim attempts from accepted holds and weaker continuation states. The panel reflects this with state language rather than presenting the move as an unconditional signal.
3) Retest tracking
After a reclaim, price may revisit the EMA zone. The script evaluates these retest behaviors and can classify them through an internal quality framework. This is intended to distinguish cleaner, more orderly interactions from weaker or less stable ones.
4) Stretch context
The script also measures how extended price is relative to the 200 EMA using an ATR-based context layer. This does not declare a reversal by itself. It simply adds information about whether price is relatively balanced or stretched around the reclaim structure.
5) Failure mapping
If a reclaim is later lost, the script can mark that condition as a failed reclaim. This helps separate accepted transitions from ones that could not maintain structure around the 200 EMA.
The map band around the EMA is only a visual aid. It is there to make the interaction corridor easier to recognize on the chart. It should not be interpreted as an independent support/resistance zone outside the script’s own framework.
States / Signals
This script is best read as a state-mapping overlay, not as a standalone trade engine.
Typical outputs include:
- Bias context relative to the 200 EMA
- Reclaim status
- Acceptance or weak-hold state
- Retest direction and latest retest quality
- Stretch condition relative to the 200 EMA
- Failed reclaim markers when the structure is lost
Depending on settings and chart history, you may see labels such as Bull Reclaim, Bear Reclaim, and retest quality annotations. These labels are visual markers for structural events detected by the script. They are not guarantees of continuation, reversal, or trade outcome.
Alerts
The script includes deterministic alert conditions tied to its event logic. These are designed to support workflow automation for users who want notification when a reclaim or failure condition is detected.
Because alerts are based on chart data and script logic, their usefulness will depend on the selected timeframe, the instrument traded, and the user’s own confirmation process. Alerts should be used as prompts for review, not as standalone execution instructions.
Key Inputs
The exact input list may evolve with future updates, but the script is centered around the following configuration areas:
- EMA length and source settings
- Acceptance / hold window controls
- Retest logic and retest label filtering
- Stretch context based on ATR
- Label visibility, spacing, and display density
- Map / zone display controls
- Panel visibility and panel styling options
These settings allow the script to be adapted for cleaner presentation or more event visibility depending on chart preference. A lower-noise layout may be more suitable for publishing or higher-timeframe review, while a denser layout may be more useful for inspection and testing.
Limitations & Transparency
This script does not forecast price. It does not know future direction, and it does not identify all valid trend continuations or reversals. It is a context tool built around a widely observed moving-average reference.
A reclaim above the 200 EMA does not always lead to continuation. A reclaim below the 200 EMA does not always lead to downside expansion. Retests can succeed or fail. Accepted states can break. Stretch conditions can persist longer than expected. False transitions can occur, especially in choppy or news-driven environments.
Like any moving-average-based framework, this script is also sensitive to timeframe selection. A chart that appears constructive on one timeframe may remain weak on a higher timeframe, or vice versa. Users should interpret the output within their own multi-timeframe and risk-management process.
Label placement, retest visibility, and apparent event density can also vary by volatility regime, zoom level, and chart compression. For that reason, the visual output should be treated as a structured reading aid rather than a complete market model.
This tool should not be viewed as a substitute for market structure analysis, liquidity awareness, execution discipline, or position management.
Risk Disclosure
This script is for chart analysis and educational use. It does not provide investment advice, financial advice, trading advice, or portfolio advice.
Trading and investing involve risk. Markets can move quickly, and losses can occur. No indicator, overlay, or alert system can eliminate that risk. Always use independent judgment, confirm conditions with your own process, and apply risk management appropriate to your market and strategy.
If you use this script in live markets, it is your responsibility to evaluate whether the instrument, timeframe, liquidity, volatility, and execution environment are suitable for your own decisions.

AG Pro VWAP Reclaim Quality [AGPro Series]AG PRO VWAP RECLAIM QUALITY
OVERVIEW
AG Pro VWAP Reclaim Quality is a chart-first tool built to evaluate whether a move back above VWAP is clean, weak, delayed, or structurally fragile.
This script does not treat every recovery above VWAP as equally meaningful. Instead, it grades the reclaim event itself and then follows what happens next: whether price can hold above VWAP, whether the retest is constructive, and whether the reclaim deteriorates shortly after recovery.
The objective is simple: separate efficient VWAP reclaims from noisy or late recoveries that may look promising at first glance but fail to show durable acceptance.
This makes the script useful for traders who want more context than a basic VWAP cross. A standard cross can show that price moved from one side of VWAP to the other. This script is designed to evaluate the quality of that transition.
UNIQUE EDGE
The focus here is not generic VWAP direction bias and not a simple above/below state model.
The main edge of the script is its reclaim-quality framework. It evaluates the reclaim as a sequence rather than as a one-line event:
1) reclaim strength,
2) post-reclaim acceptance,
3) retest behavior,
4) timing quality,
5) failure risk.
That structure is what differentiates it from ordinary VWAP cross tools.
A reclaim that closes back above VWAP with a strong bar, holds acceptance, and survives a disciplined retest should not be treated the same as a reclaim that occurs late, stalls immediately, or fails after a shallow recovery. This script is designed to reflect that distinction visually and systematically.
In practical terms, the script attempts to answer a more specific question:
Is this reclaim simply back above VWAP, or is it actually behaving like a higher-quality recovery?
METHODOLOGY
The script starts by tracking session VWAP and identifying reclaim attempts after price has spent time below it.
Once a reclaim is detected, the script evaluates several components:
1) Reclaim strength
The reclaim bar is assessed using distance from VWAP, body efficiency, and close location within the bar. This helps distinguish decisive recoveries from marginal crosses.
2) Acceptance above VWAP
After the reclaim, the script measures whether price is actually holding above VWAP over the next bars. Stable acceptance is treated differently from mixed or poor acceptance.
3) Retest behavior
The script checks whether price revisits VWAP inside a defined tolerance area and whether that test is held constructively. A confirmed retest is handled as separate information rather than being merged blindly into the initial reclaim.
4) Timing quality
Reclaims that occur after an extended stay below VWAP, or later in the intraday session, can be penalized. This allows the script to separate timely recoveries from delayed ones.
5) Failure logic
A reclaim can later be downgraded if price loses structure below VWAP after the recovery. This failure layer is intentionally more selective so that minor noise is not treated as a meaningful reclaim breakdown.
The result is a compact grading model that produces a readable chart-first output instead of a large diagnostic dashboard.
HOW TO READ THE OUTPUT
Main chart labels:
- CLEAN: reclaim quality is strong and structurally healthy
- LATE: reclaim occurred, but timing quality is weaker or delayed
- RT HOLD: VWAP retest was revisited and held constructively
- FAILED: reclaim lost quality and broke down after recovery
Panel fields:
- VWAP Reclaim: current reclaim classification
- Reclaim: strength of the reclaim move itself
- Acceptance: quality of post-reclaim holding behavior
- Retest: whether a constructive retest is confirmed
- Bias: summary interpretation of the current reclaim state
- Quality: compact score representation
The chart is intentionally designed to stay visual and readable. The panel provides state context, while the labels highlight the important transition points.
SIGNALS AND ALERTS
The script includes alert conditions for:
- Clean Reclaim
- Late Reclaim
- Retest Hold
- Failed Reclaim
These alerts are intended to map to the reclaim lifecycle rather than to every minor VWAP interaction.
For more conservative usage, bar-close confirmation is generally preferable when evaluating reclaim quality, especially on volatile instruments or during rapid intrabar movement.
KEY INPUTS
Some of the main controls include:
- VWAP source
- ATR length
- reclaim distance normalization
- minimum prior bars below VWAP
- late reclaim thresholds
- acceptance lookback
- retest tolerance and retest window
- failure delay bars
- panel text size and panel theme
- label visibility and label discipline controls
The script also includes label filtering logic to reduce clustering and keep the chart cleaner by default.
WHAT THIS SCRIPT IS DESIGNED FOR
This script is designed for traders who want to evaluate reclaim quality around VWAP, not merely track whether price is above or below it.
Typical use cases may include:
- reviewing whether a recovery above VWAP has enough structural follow-through
- filtering weak reclaims from stronger continuation candidates
- identifying retest discipline after reclaim
- spotting delayed or fragile recovery behavior
- keeping a cleaner visual workflow around VWAP-based chart reading
LIMITATIONS AND TRANSPARENCY
This script is not a prediction engine and should not be interpreted as a guaranteed continuation model.
A reclaim labeled as clean can still fail.
A reclaim labeled as late can still continue.
A failed reclaim label does not automatically imply a larger bearish trend.
The tool is designed to classify reclaim behavior around VWAP, not to replace broader market structure analysis.
Like all chart-based tools, outputs can vary depending on instrument, volatility regime, timeframe, and user settings.
VWAP-based behavior is also context-dependent. Market environment, liquidity, trend phase, and volatility expansion can all influence reclaim behavior beyond what a single script can capture.
This script is therefore best used as a structured interpretation tool, not as a standalone decision framework.
RISK DISCLOSURE
This indicator is for chart analysis and research use only. It does not provide investment advice, portfolio advice, or trade guarantees.
Always evaluate signals within broader market context, risk management, and your own execution process.
No single indicator should be relied upon in isolation.
NOTES
This publication focuses on reclaim quality around VWAP rather than generic VWAP crosses.
The aim is to keep the logic interpretable, the visuals readable, and the methodology transparent. インジケーター
