V/V weighted ma - JDAs a third new weighted moving average I present the Volume-Volatility Weighted Moving Average.
The Volume-Volatility Weighted Moving Average (VVwma) calculates the average price over a certain period,
weighted by both volume and volatilty, Big volume doesn't necessarily move price a lot but is very important,
big price moves don't always need big volume but also have a lot of importance!
In this indicator both big volume moves as well as big price moves are factored in to calculate the ma behaviour.
The ma has a tendancy to quickly give an indication of a ranging vs trending market by angle of the ma.
In ranging market it quickly flattens out and could be used to filter out insignificant low volume/volatility moves
compared to regular ma's or the standard volume weighted ma
Another use of it could be as entry/exit signals or
as a means of a trailing stop or a hard exit for a strategy or
as a "baseline" to combine with other signals
feel free to experiment!!!
If you use the VVwma in your scripts or your work, a shoutout would be nice!!

Volatility weighted maThe next in my series of weighted moving averages is the Volatility Weighted Moving Average.
The Volatility Weighted Moving Average (Volwma) calculates the average price over a certain period,
contrary to the well known Volume weighted ma, it is weighted by volatilty,
meaning big price moves don't always need big volume but also have a lot of importance!
In this indicator these big price moves are factored in to calculate the ma behaviour.
As the ma is quite biased on price moves it can quickly give an indication of a ranging vs trending market by angle of the ma.
In ranging market it quickly flattens out and could be used to filter out insignificant low volatility moves
compared to regular ma's or the standard volume weighted ma
Another use of it could be as entry/exit signals or
as a means of a trailing stop or a hard exit for a strategy or
as a "baseline" to combine with other signals
feel free to experiment!!!
If you use the Volwma in your scripts or your work, a shoutout would be nice!!

ATR Percentage of PriceThis indicator takes the standard ATR and expresses it as a percentage of the OHLC4 price. This has the advantage of normalising the ATR value across the history of an asset. For example, an ATR of value 20 when the price is 2000 actually has a very different meaning when the price rises to 4000. The ATR may be the same value but actually the volatility it represents has halved.
I also add an SMA to the value and a histogram which shows the difference between the two. Positive values mean that volatility is expanding while negative values mean volatility is contracting.

Dorsey InertiaThis indicator was originally developed by Donald Dorsey (Stocks & Commodities, V.13:9 (September, 1995): "Refining the Relative Volatility Index").
Inertia is based on Relative Volatility Index (RVI) smoothed using linear regression.
In physics, inertia is the tendency of an object to resist to acceleration. Dorsey chose this name because he believes that trend and inertia are related and that it takes more effort and energy to reverse the direction of a stock or market than to keep it in the same direction. He argues that the volatility is the simplest and most accurate measure of inertia.
When the indicator is below 50, it signals bearish market sentiment and when the indicator is above 50 it signals a bullish trend.
Good luck!
Moving CovarianceCo-variance is a representation of the average percent data points deviate from there mean. A standard calculation of Co-variance uses One standard Deviation. Using the empirical rule, we can assume that about 68.26% of Data points lie in this range.
The advantage to plotting co variance as a time series is that it will show you how volatility of a trailing period changes. Therefore trend lines and other methods of analysis such as Fibonacci retracements could be applied in order to generate volatility targets.
For the purpose of this indicator I have the mean using a vwma derived from vwap. This makes this measurement of co-variance more sensitive to changes in volume, likewise are more representative a change in volatility, thus giving this indicator a "leading aspect".

Quant-Action Pro: Triple Confluence EngineQuant-Action Pro: Triple Confluence Engine
Systematic Framework for Structural Price Action Analysis
Quant-Action Pro is a high-performance analytical engine designed to synchronize institutional liquidity flow with market geometry. Instead of traditional "signals," this framework identifies Structural States where three independent algorithmic layers align, providing a objective roadmap for the current price action context.
1. Core Algorithmic Matrix
The engine operates by monitoring the interaction between price and three proprietary logic layers:
A. Institutional Flow Node (SP2L) —
Logic: Monitors "Passive Liquidity Absorption" at the 20-period EMA.
Function: Identifies zones where institutional buyers/sellers are defending the trend's equilibrium. This is not a simple touch; it requires a validated "Touch-and-Hold" sequence.
B. Structural Flip Scanner (BTB) —
Logic: Detects the transition from old supply to new demand (S/R Flip).
Function: Uses a 3-phase Break-Test-Break verification to confirm that a structural breakout is backed by volume, reducing the risk of "Fake-outs."
C. Liquidity Compression Monitor (Micro Map) —
Logic: Statistical range-contraction analysis (Volatility Squeeze).
Function: Signals a High-Density State where price is coiling for an expansion move.
2. The Golden State: Triple Confluence Logic
The GOLD label represents the "Apex" of this engine. It is triggered only when the SP2L, BTB, and Micro Map layers synchronize on a single candle. In structural terms, this means:
Trend Defense (SP2L) is active.
Structural Breakout (BTB) is confirmed.
Volatility Expansion (MM) is imminent.
This Triple-Layer filtering ensures that Golden Signals only appear during periods of maximum market conviction.
3. Professional Implementation (Structural View)
MTF Trend Matrix: A built-in dashboard provides a 1H, 4H, and 1D diagnosis to ensure local setups align with the Macro Trend.
Smart Invalidation (Adaptive Trendlines): The engine draws dynamic geometry to define the current "Structural Floor/Ceiling." A decisive close beyond these lines acts as a clear Invalidation Point for the current thesis.
Mean Reversion: The system uses the 200-EMA as the primary directional filter, defining whether the market is in a "Bullish Expansion" or "Bearish Correction" state.
⚠️ Risk Disclaimer
Trading financial instruments involves significant risk. Quant-Action Pro is an educational tool designed for research and structural analysis. It does not provide financial advice. Past performance is not indicative of future results. Always use strict risk management.
Weighted ATRWeighted ATR is a volatility indicator that computes True Range and smooths it using a selectable kernel (native Wilder ATR, SMA, EMA, WMA, VWMA, or HMA). It outputs a single volatility line in price units for risk sizing, stop distances, and regime filtering.
ADR% / ATR / Dynamic LoD–HoD TableThis indicator displays a clean data table showing ADR%, ATR, and a dynamic LoD/HoD distance value based on daily trend conditions.
When price is above the 21-day or 50-day moving average, the indicator shows the distance from the Low of Day.
When price is below BOTH daily moving averages, it automatically switches to showing distance from the High of Day.
The table updates in real-time and gives a fast, volatility-based view of where price sits inside the day’s range.
Features
• ADR% (Average Daily Range Percentage)
• ATR (Average True Range)
• Automatic LoD → HoD switching based on daily trend
• Customizable colors and layout
• Clean, space-efficient table format
• Designed for intraday and volatility-focused traders
Bollinger Bands + VWAP + 4-State MACD BackgroundBollinger Bands + VWAP + 4-State MACD Background
An all-in-one technical analysis indicator combining three proven tools with an intelligent momentum-based background visualization system.
📊 FEATURES
Bollinger Bands
Standard Bollinger Bands implementation with full customization options:
Adjustable period length (default: 20)
Multiple moving average types: SMA, EMA, SMMA (RMA), WMA, VWMA
Configurable standard deviation multiplier (default: 2.0)
Visual fill between bands to highlight volatility zones
Offset capability for forward/backward display
Session VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price)
Automatically resets at the start of each trading session:
Calculates true volume-weighted average price
Resets daily to provide fresh reference levels
Customizable source input (default: HLC3)
Adjustable line appearance (color and width)
Can be toggled on/off as needed
4-State MACD Background System
This is the unique feature of this indicator. The chart background dynamically changes based on MACD momentum analysis, providing instant visual feedback on trend strength and direction:
🟢 Strong Bullish (Bright Green)
MACD line is above signal line
Histogram is growing (momentum accelerating upward)
Indicates strong upward momentum
🟢 Weak Bullish (Pale Green)
MACD line is above signal line
Histogram is shrinking (momentum decelerating)
Early warning signal that uptrend may be weakening
🔴 Strong Bearish (Bright Red)
MACD line is below signal line
Histogram is falling (momentum accelerating downward)
Indicates strong downward momentum
🔴 Weak Bearish (Pale Red)
MACD line is below signal line
Histogram is rising (momentum decelerating)
Early warning signal that downtrend may be weakening
🎯 HOW TO USE
For Trend Trading:
Strong colored backgrounds indicate confirmed momentum in that direction - consider staying with the trend
Weak colored backgrounds signal potential momentum exhaustion - watch for possible reversals
Use VWAP as a dynamic support/resistance level
Bollinger Band breakouts combined with strong MACD backgrounds can confirm trend strength
Price above VWAP + strong bullish background = bullish bias
Price below VWAP + strong bearish background = bearish bias
For Mean Reversion:
Price touching upper/lower Bollinger Bands with weak MACD background may suggest potential reversal
VWAP acts as a mean reversion anchor during range-bound sessions
Background color shifts from strong to weak often precede price direction changes
Look for price return to VWAP when extended beyond bands with weakening momentum
Signal Confirmation:
Strongest signals occur when multiple indicators align:
BB breakout + MACD strong color + price above/below VWAP
Price rejection at BB bands + MACD color weakening
VWAP support/resistance hold + MACD color change

@Complete Squeeze Cycle Detector v2.0 FINALDescription:
The Complete Squeeze Cycle Detector identifies and tracks the full lifecycle of squeeze formations, from pre-squeeze consolidation through active squeeze periods to squeeze completion. The indicator systematically detects the characteristic conditions that precede and accompany squeeze events.
The indicator monitors multiple factors associated with squeeze development including:
• Volatility compression relative to recent volume activity
• Elevated market stress conditions as measured by VIX levels
• Momentum compression through rate of change measurements across multiple time periods
• Alignment of multiple exponential moving averages indicating consolidation
The squeeze cycle is classified into three distinct phases: Pre-Squeeze Setup, Active Squeeze, and Squeeze Complete. Each phase is identified based on threshold levels of multiple compression metrics, with adjustable sensitivity settings to control the strictness of detection.
The indicator provides visual identification of each phase through labels, background coloring, and an optional dashboard, allowing users to distinguish between the preparation phase where volatility contracts, the active squeeze phase where compression reaches critical levels, and the completion phase where the squeeze releases and directional movement resumes.
This systematic approach enables users to identify squeeze formations throughout their complete development cycle rather than focusing only on the breakout phase.

It combines institutional price action, volatility patterns, mean reversion logic, and momentum confirmation to generate clean, filtered, and actionable signals.
The indicator automatically detects:
⸻
1️⃣ Break & Retest Premium (BR)
Identifies valid breaks of key levels and signals the retest with rejection wick, EMA20 trend confirmation, and neutral RSI.
→ Excellent for trend continuation.
⸻
2️⃣ Fakeout Liquidity Trap (FO)
Detects liquidity grabs above highs or below lows with an opposite close + engulfing candle confirmation.
→ The strongest setup for fast and explosive reversals on gold.
⸻
3️⃣ MACD Zero-Line Shift (MACD)
Signals when the MACD crosses the zero line while price breaks micro-structure.
→ Perfect for spotting the start of a new trend.
⸻
4️⃣ Bollinger Squeeze → Breakout (BB)
Recognizes volatility compression and signals when a breakout is likely to explode.
→ Ideal for clean breakout trades.
⸻
5️⃣ Mean Reversion on EMA50 (MR)
Highlights price extensions far away from the EMA50 with ATR confirmation and a reversal candle.
→ Great for pullbacks back toward the mean value.
Momentum Squeeze Candle [Darwinian]# Momentum Squeeze Candle
Professional squeeze detection indicator with Wyckoff accumulation/distribution analysis and multi-method momentum signals.
## Overview
Identifies volatility compression (squeeze) periods and provides intelligent momentum direction signals based on institutional accumulation/distribution patterns.
## Features
6 Squeeze Detection Methods:
• BB + KC (Classic) - John Carter's TTM Squeeze
• ATR Ratio - Volatility compression detection
• Choppiness Index - Ranging vs trending analysis
• BB Width - Bollinger Band contraction
• Volume Contraction - Drying volume detection
• Hybrid Multi-Method - Ensemble approach (3+ methods must agree)
Smart Momentum Direction:
• Priority 1: Wyckoff signals (ATR compression + volume analysis)
• Priority 2: RSI momentum (55/45 thresholds)
• Priority 3: Hybrid slope + momentum confirmation
Visual Indicators:
• Blue candle coloring during squeeze
• Green circles = Bullish momentum (accumulation detected)
• Red circles = Bearish momentum (distribution detected)
• Optional BB/KC band overlay
## How It Works
Wyckoff Accumulation (Bullish):
ATR compressing + volume drying + price holding above MA = Smart money accumulating
→ Green circle signals
Wyckoff Distribution (Bearish):
ATR expanding + volume surging + price failing below MA = Smart money distributing
→ Red circle signals
## Recommended Settings
Swing Trading (Daily/4H):
Method: BB + KC or Hybrid | Sensitivity: 1.2-1.5
Day Trading (15m-1H):
Method: ATR Ratio or BB Width | Sensitivity: 0.8-1.0
Scalping (1m-5m):
Method: Volume Contraction | Sensitivity: 0.7-0.9
High Probability:
Method: Hybrid Multi-Method | Min Score: 4/5 | Sensitivity: 1.5
## Key Advantages
✓ Multiple squeeze detection algorithms for different market conditions
✓ Wyckoff methodology for institutional activity detection
✓ Priority-based momentum system reduces false signals
✓ Clean, optimized code (70% faster than typical indicators)
✓ Fully customizable sensitivity and visual settings
## Usage
1. Choose squeeze detection method based on your trading style
2. Watch for blue candles (squeeze active)
3. Monitor momentum signals:
- Green circles below bars = Accumulation phase (bullish)
- Red circles below bars = Distribution phase (bearish)
4. Trade the breakout in the direction of momentum signals
## Notes
• All inputs hidden from status line by default for clean charts
• Works on all timeframes and asset classes
• Combine with your trading strategy for confirmation
• Best results when multiple priority signals align
Perfect for traders looking to identify consolidation periods and predict breakout direction using institutional accumulation/distribution patterns.
NY VIX Channel Trend US Futures Day Trade StrategyNY VIX Channel Trend Strategy
Summary in one paragraph
Session anchored intraday strategy for index futures such as ES and NQ on one to fifteen minute charts. It acts only after the first configurable window of New York Regular Trading Hours and uses a VIX derived daily implied move to form a realistic channel from the session open. Originality comes from using a pure implied volatility yardstick as portable support and resistance, then committing in the direction of the first window close relative to the open. Add it to a clean chart and trade the simple visuals. For conservative alerts use on bar close.
Scope and intent
• Markets. Index futures ES and NQ
• Timeframes. One to thirty minutes
• Default demo. ES1 on five minutes
• Purpose. Provide a portable intraday yardstick for entries and exits without curve fitting
• Limits. This is a strategy. Orders are simulated on standard candles
Originality and usefulness
• Unique concept. A VIX only channel anchored at 09:30 New York plus a single window trend test
• Addresses. False urgency at session open and unrealistic bands from arbitrary multipliers
• Testability. Every input is visible and the channel is plotted so users can audit behavior
• Portable yardstick. Daily implied move equals VIX percent divided by square root of two hundred fifty two
• Protected status. None. Method and use are fully disclosed
Method overview in plain language
Take the daily VIX or VIX9D value, convert it to a daily fraction by dividing by square root of two hundred fifty two, then anchor a symmetric channel at the New York session open. Observe the first N minutes. If that window closes above the open the bias is long. If it closes below the open the bias is short. One trade per session. Exits occur at the channel boundary or at a bracket based on a user selected VIX factor. Positions are closed a set number of minutes before the session ends.
Base measures
Return basis. The daily implied move unit equals VIX percent divided by square root of two hundred fifty two and serves as the distance unit for targets and stops.
Components
• VIX Channel. Top, mid, bottom lines anchored at 09:30 New York. No extra multipliers
• Window Trend. Close of the first N minutes relative to the session open sets direction
• Risk Bracket. Take profit and stop loss equal to VIX unit times user factor
• Session Window. Uses the exchange time of the chart
Fusion rule
Minimum gates count equals one. The trade only arms after the window has elapsed and a direction exists. One entry per session.
Signal rule
• Long when the window close is above the session open and the window has completed
• Short when the window close is below the session open and the window has completed
• Exit on channel touch. Long exits at the top. Short exits at the bottom
• Flat thirty minutes before the session close or at the user setting
Inputs with guidance
Setup
• Use VIX9D. Width source. Typical true for fast tone or false for baseline
• Use daily OPEN. Toggle for sensitivity to overnight changes
Logic
• Window minutes. Five to one hundred twenty. Larger values delay entries and reduce whipsaw
• VIX factor for TP. Zero point five to two. Raising it widens the profit target
• VIX factor for SL. Zero point five to two. Raising it widens the stop
• Exit minutes before close. Fifteen to ninety. Raising it exits earlier
Properties visible in this publication
• Initial capital one hundred thousand USD
• Base currency USD
• request.security uses lookahead off
• Commission cash per contract two point five $ per each contract. Slippage one tick
• Default order size method FIXED with value one contract. Pyramiding zero. Process orders on close ON. Bar magnifier OFF. Recalculate after order is filled OFF. Calc on every tick ON
Realism and responsible publication
No performance claims. Past results never guarantee future outcomes. Fills and slippage vary by venue. Shapes can move while a bar forms and settle on close. Strategy uses standard candles.
Honest limitations and failure modes
Economic releases and thin liquidity can break the channel. Very quiet regimes can reduce signal contrast. Session windows follow the exchange time of the chart. If both stop and target can be hit within one bar, assume stop first for conservative reading without bar magnifier.
Works best in liquid hours of New York RTH. Very large gaps and surprise news may exceed the implied channel. Always validate on the symbols you trade.
Entries and exits
• Entry logic. After the first window, go long if the window close is above the session open, go short if below
• Exit logic. Long exits at the channel top or at the take profit or stop. Short exits at the channel bottom or at the take profit or stop. Flat before session close by the configured minutes
• Risk model. Initial stop and target based on the VIX unit times user factors. No trail and no break even. No cooldown
• Tie handling. Treat as stop first for conservative interpretation
Position sizing
Fixed size one contract per trade. Target risk per trade should generally remain near one percent of account equity. Risk is based on the daily volatility value, the max loss from the tests for one year duration with 5min chart was 4%, while the avg loss was below <1% of the total capital.

Halt-Risk Guard (5-min / 10%) — TTP Safe🛑 Halt-Risk Guard (5-min / 10%) — TTP Safe
Stay clear of halts, invalidations, and over-extended moves.
🔍 Overview
The Halt-Risk Guard helps traders avoid sudden invalidations by monitoring price velocity over the past X minutes (default: 5 min) and flagging when moves exceed a configurable threshold (default: 10%).
Originally built to meet Trade The Pool (TTP) risk-management rules — where even non-halted 10% moves can void trades — this tool provides a clear, visual warning system and optional entry blocker.
⚙️ Key Features
✅ Halt-Risk Detection – Calculates both reference-based and swing-based (high↔low) percentage change over the chosen lookback period.
✅ TTP Safe Mode – “Swing mode” captures extreme volatility spikes that may invalidate trades even when the market stays open.
✅ Entry Blocker (optional) – Automatically greys candles and dims the background during risky conditions to prevent impulsive entries.
✅ Customisable Positioning – Move the on-chart info box to any corner of your chart (Top Left / Top Right / Bottom Left / Bottom Right).
✅ Clean Alerts –
⚠️ At/Above Threshold
✅ Back to Safe
⛔ Entry Blocker Active
✅ Visual Table Display – Compact dashboard shows current % move, lookback window, and threshold with intuitive green/red status.
✅ Strategy-Ready Output – A hidden 0/1 plot lets you block or filter trades in automated systems.
⚡ How It Works
Monitors the selected symbol using your chosen computation timeframe (recommended 1-minute).
Evaluates either:
REF mode: Close-to-close change over the lookback window.
SWING mode: High-to-low range within the same window.
If the move ≥ Threshold %, the script highlights a halt-risk condition and optionally activates the entry blocker.
🎨 Recommended Settings
Lookback: 5 minutes
Threshold: 10 %
Swing mode: ON (TTP-safe)
Computation timeframe: 1 minute
Entry blocker: ON
Dim background: ON
🧠 Use Cases
TTP and other prop-firm evaluations enforcing price-movement limits.
Volatility-based scalping systems to avoid chasing extended candles.
Strategy filters for algorithmic entries (e.g. pause trading during halt-risk windows).
⚠️ Disclaimer
This tool provides visual and alert-based guidance only. It does not guarantee compliance with any specific firm’s rules or eliminate trading risk. Always verify thresholds and rules with your broker or evaluation provider.
ATR DAILY PROGRESSION)Indicator: ATR Daily Progression — Final Compact Edition
1. Indicator Objective
The ATR Daily Progression indicator measures the progression of intraday volatility as a percentage of the daily Average True Range (ATR).
It provides a quick visual overview of whether the market has reached or exceeded its average daily range of movement.
This helps traders avoid entering low-probability continuation trades once the day’s ATR is already completed.
2. Visual Presentation
Horizontal bar ranging from 0% to 150% of the ATR.
Green color up to 100%, then red beyond that point.
Main ticks: 0, 25, 50, 75, 90, 100, and 150%.
Full-height white vertical lines at 0%, 100%, and 150%.
A floating badge displaying the current ATR completion percentage, always visible.
Compact Height mode enabled by default for optimal visual integration.
3. Key Features
Function Description
Precise alignment The transition from green to red occurs exactly after the 100% tick.
Audio & visual alerts Triggered at 75%, 90%, 100%, and 150%.
Session flash effects The filled bar blinks when the ATR is reached (100%) or exceeded (150%).
Dynamic badge Displays the current ATR %, green before 100%, red after.
Compact layout Three-line table format for better chart integration.
4. Recommended Settings
ATR Length (Daily): 14
Bar width (steps): 32–40 (depending on chart size)
Always green below 100%: enabled
Show floating % badge: enabled
Compact Height: enabled by default
Flash at 75% and 90%: enabled
Flash at 100% and 150%: enabled
5. Strategic Use
The ATR Done Today is a visual discipline tool designed to help traders:
Identify when the market has likely completed its daily move.
Avoid late-session counter-trend trades.
Visualize volatility compression or expansion.
Determine optimal times to take profits or pause trading.
VCP-Minervini v2This indicator is based on the famous Volatility Contraction Pattern (VCP) developed by Mark Minervini. It is designed to detect breakout setups in stocks and indices and provides a complete framework for identifying and managing them.
VCP Detection: Uses ATR to measure contracting volatility and highlights potential setups with yellow markers.
Pivot Level: Once a VCP is detected, the script automatically fixes a pivot resistance level and plots it as a red line.
Breakout Signal: When price closes above the pivot and remains above the EMA, a green marker confirms that a breakout is active.
Exit Logic: If momentum fades (volume drops below average and True Range contracts), the green marker disappears, signaling it may be time to secure profits or adjust stops.

Candle Range % vs 8-Candle AvgCandle % Indicator – Measure Candle Strength by Range %
**Overview:**
The *Candle % Indicator* helps traders visually and analytically gauge the strength or significance of a price candle relative to its recent historical context. This is particularly useful for detecting breakout moves, volatility shifts, or overextended candles that may signal exhaustion.
**What It Does:**
* Calculates the **percentage range** of the current candle compared to the **average range of the past N candles**.
* Highlights candles that exceed a user-defined threshold (e.g., 150% of the average range).
* Useful for **filtering out extreme candles** that might represent anomalies or unsustainable moves.
* Can be combined with other strategies (like EMA crossovers, support/resistance breaks, etc.) to improve signal quality.
**Use Case Examples:**
***Filter out fakeouts** in breakout strategies by ignoring candles that are overly large and may revert.
***Volatility control**: Avoid entries when market conditions are erratic.
**Confluence**: Combine with EMA or RSI signals for refined entries.
**How to Read:**
* If a candle is larger than the average range by more than the set percentage (default 150%), it's flagged (e.g., no entry signal or optional visual marker).
* Ideal for intraday, swing, or algorithmic trading setups.
**Customizable Inputs:**
**Lookback Period**: Number of previous candles to calculate the average range.
**% Threshold**: Maximum percentage a candle can exceed the average before being filtered or marked.
Fear-Greed ThermometerFear-Greed Thermometer
This indicator measures market sentiment between fear and greed by combining three key factors: volatility, average volume, and percentage price change. Each factor is normalized and averaged to produce an index ranging from 0 to 100 that reflects the overall level of market fear or greed.
How to use:
Index above 50: Indicates greed dominance. The market tends to be more optimistic, signaling potential bullish conditions or overbought levels.
Index below 50: Indicates fear dominance. The market is more cautious or pessimistic, pointing to potential bearish conditions or oversold levels.
Neutral line (50): Acts as a reference for transitions between fear and greed phases.
Features:
Dynamic background: The chart background changes color according to sentiment — green for greed, red for fear — making it easy to visually gauge the index.
Customizable: Adjust the calculation periods for volatility, volume, and price change to fit your analysis style.
Tips:
Use alongside other technical tools to confirm entry and exit points.
Watch for divergences between the index and price to anticipate possible reversals.
Monitoring extreme levels can help identify market turning points.
This indicator is not a buy or sell recommendation but an additional tool to help understand the overall market sentiment.
