Fed Balance Sheet (Candles)Fed Balance Sheet (Candles) - TradingView Description
📊 OVERVIEW
Fed Balance Sheet (Candles) transforms the Federal Reserve's total assets into an intuitive candlestick visualization, allowing you to track monetary policy changes with the same visual language you use for price action.
This indicator pulls real-time data directly from FRED (Federal Reserve Economic Data) and displays the Total Assets of All Federal Reserve Banks as dynamic candles on your chart, making it effortless to correlate central bank liquidity with market movements.
🎯 WHY THIS MATTERS
The Federal Reserve's balance sheet is one of the most powerful leading indicators in global markets. When the Fed expands its balance sheet (Quantitative Easing), it injects liquidity into the financial system, historically correlating with:
Rising asset prices (stocks, crypto, commodities)
Lower volatility
Risk-on sentiment
Currency devaluation
When the Fed contracts its balance sheet (Quantitative Tightening), liquidity drains from markets, often leading to:
Asset price pressure
Increased volatility
Risk-off sentiment
Dollar strength
By visualizing this as candles, you can instantly see:
The pace of change (candle size)
The direction (green = expansion, red = contraction)
Acceleration or deceleration (consecutive candles in same direction)
Pivots in monetary policy (color changes from green to red or vice versa)
🔧 HOW IT WORKS
Data Source
Source: Federal Reserve Economic Data (FRED)
Metric: Total Assets of All Federal Reserve Banks
Unit: Displayed in Trillions of USD for easy reading
Frequency: Weekly updates (every Wednesday)
Candlestick Construction
Since balance sheet data is reported as a single number each week (not traditional open-high-low-close), this indicator creates candles by comparing each period to the previous one:
Open = Last week's balance sheet value
Close = This week's balance sheet value
High = The higher of the two values
Low = The lower of the two values
This captures directional movement and magnitude of change, making it intuitive for traders accustomed to candlestick analysis.
Color Scheme
🟢 GREEN CANDLES (Expanding Balance Sheet)
When this week's value is higher than last week's
Interpretation: Fed is adding liquidity (Quantitative Easing)
Historically bullish for risk assets
🔴 RED CANDLES (Contracting Balance Sheet)
When this week's value is lower than last week's
Interpretation: Fed is removing liquidity (Quantitative Tightening)
Historically bearish or neutral for risk assets
Value Label
A floating label displays the current balance sheet value in trillions (e.g., "$8.75T") so you always know the exact figure at a glance.
📈 PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS
1. Market Regime Identification
Strings of green candles = Liquidity-driven bull markets
Strings of red candles = Tightening-induced bear markets or corrections
Color transitions = Potential market inflection points
2. Correlation Analysis
Overlay on stock indices (SPY, QQQ, IWM)
Overlay on crypto (BTC, ETH)
Overlay on commodities (Gold, Silver)
Observe how asset prices react to Fed liquidity changes in real-time
3. Macro Timing
Large green candles = Aggressive easing (crisis response)
Large red candles = Aggressive tightening (inflation fighting)
Small candles = Neutral policy (Fed on hold)
4. Risk Management
Shift portfolio allocation based on liquidity environment
Reduce leverage during red candle trends
Increase exposure during green candle trends
Use as confirmation for other technical signals
5. Multi-Timeframe Context
Daily charts: See how daily price action relates to weekly Fed data
Weekly charts: Perfect alignment with data release frequency
Monthly charts: Visualize long-term monetary cycles spanning years
⚙️ SETTINGS
Zero configuration needed. Simply add the indicator to any chart and it works immediately.
The indicator automatically:
Overlays on your main chart
Uses the left price scale (won't interfere with asset prices)
Updates with the latest Fed data
Displays values in trillions for clean readability
🎨 VISUAL DESIGN PHILOSOPHY
The indicator uses semi-transparent candle bodies with vibrant borders to maintain visibility without obscuring your price action. The color scheme follows universal chart conventions where green represents growth/expansion and red represents decline/contraction.
It's designed to blend seamlessly into any chart theme while providing immediate visual clarity about the Fed's monetary stance.
📚 WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
Data Availability
Historical data available from December 2002 (over 20 years of Fed policy)
Updates every Wednesday (Federal Reserve's reporting schedule)
Typically published with a 1-week lag
How the Data Appears
On weekdays: Shows the most recent Wednesday's data
On weekends: Shows Friday's data (which is the prior Wednesday's figure)
Updates automatically when new data is released
Scale Considerations
The Fed's balance sheet is measured in trillions, while most assets are priced much lower. The indicator uses the left price scale by default to avoid conflicts with your main asset's price scale. You can easily move it to a separate pane if you prefer.
🧠 INTERPRETATION GUIDE
Historical QE Phases (Green Candles)
2008-2014: Financial Crisis Response
The Fed's balance sheet expanded from under $1T to ~$4.5T to stabilize markets after the mortgage crisis.
2020: COVID-19 Response
Rapid expansion to ~$7T as the Fed stepped in during pandemic lockdowns.
2020-2022: Extended Support
Balance sheet reached historic peak of ~$9T.
Historical QT Phases (Red Candles)
2017-2019: First Modern QT Attempt
The Fed tried to normalize its balance sheet, reducing it from ~$4.5T to ~$3.8T before pivoting.
2022-Present: Inflation-Fighting QT
The Fed began shrinking its balance sheet to combat inflation, letting bonds mature without replacement.
Key Insights
Size matters, but rate of change matters MORE.
A $9T balance sheet growing slowly has different implications than a $5T balance sheet growing rapidly.
Watch for acceleration.
Increasingly large candles (up or down) signal a policy shift that markets will notice.
Plateaus mean "wait and see."
Tiny candles indicate the Fed is holding steady and watching economic data.
Reversals are major events.
When candles switch from green to red (or vice versa), the Fed has changed course—these are critical market turning points.
🎓 EDUCATIONAL VALUE
This indicator helps you understand:
The mechanics of monetary policy through visual learning
The lag between Fed actions and market reactions by observing temporal correlation
The scale of modern central banking (trillions put into perspective)
The relationship between liquidity and asset prices (cause and effect in action)
Many traders talk about "don't fight the Fed" but never actually track what the Fed is doing. Now you can see it as clearly as you see price action.
🔗 RELATED CONCEPTS
For comprehensive macro analysis, consider also tracking:
Fed Funds Rate (short-term interest rates)
M2 Money Supply (broader measure of money in circulation)
Treasury Yield Curves (bond market expectations)
Dollar Index (DXY) (currency strength)
VIX (market fear/volatility)
The Fed's balance sheet is just one piece of the puzzle, but it's arguably the most important one for understanding liquidity conditions.
⚠️ DISCLAIMER
This indicator displays publicly available economic data from the Federal Reserve. It is for informational and educational purposes only and does not constitute financial advice.
Important considerations:
Past monetary policy does not guarantee future market outcomes
Correlation does not equal causation
Asset prices are influenced by many factors beyond Fed liquidity
Always use proper risk management
Consult with qualified financial professionals before making investment decisions
Trading involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for everyone.

💡 WHY CANDLES?
You might wonder: "Why show the Fed's balance sheet as candles instead of a line?"
Because candles tell stories that lines can't.
A line shows you where we are
Candles show you how we got here, how fast we're moving, and what momentum looks like
Candles make the Fed's actions feel immediate and tangible
Candles connect macro data to the chart language you already speak
When you see three big green candles in a row on the Fed balance sheet while your crypto or stock portfolio is rallying, you feel the connection. When you see the candles turn red and shrink, you understand the headwinds forming.
It transforms dry economic data into actionable market intelligence.

Minervini Ultimate +VCPMinervini Ultimate Suite (SEPA Dashboard)
This indicator implements Mark Minervini's "Trend Template" criteria combined with a Volatility Contraction Pattern (VCP) detector and a custom Relative Strength rating. It is designed to help traders visualize the technical health of a stock based on stage analysis concepts.
This indicator serves as a complete Control System (Dashboard) for Mark Minervini's SEPA trading strategy. Instead of manually checking five different metrics on every chart, this indicator performs the mathematical calculations and presents the "bottom line" in a single, organized table.
1. What This Indicator Does
The goal is to ensure you never enter a trade blindly. It verifies the stock against Minervini's strict requirements:
Trend: Is the stock in a healthy Stage 2 Uptrend?
Relative Strength: Is it stronger than the general market?
Buy Risk: Is it the right time to buy, or is the price extended?
Pressure: Are institutions accumulating or distributing?
VCP: Is there a breakout opportunity (volatility contraction) right now?
2. Key Benefits
Time-Saving: Instead of drawing lines and calculating percentages manually, you get immediate visual feedback (Green/Red).
Discipline: The indicator will flag "Extended" (Red) if you attempt to buy a stock that has run up too much, saving you from late entries and unnecessary losses.
Precision Timing: The VCP feature (Blue Dots) helps you identify the "calm before the storm"—the exact moment volatility contracts, which often precedes a major breakout.
3. Indicator Parameters & Features
A. Minervini Pressure (Buying vs. Selling)
What it checks: Money flow over the last 20 days.
Calculation: Sums up volume on "Up Days" (Green) versus volume on "Down Days" (Red).
Meaning:
🟢 Buying: More money is entering than leaving. A sign of institutional accumulation.
🔴 Selling: Selling pressure dominates. The price may be rising, but without strong volume backing.
B. Buy Risk (Price Extension)
What it checks: The distance of the current price from the 50-Day Moving Average. Minervini strictly warns against "chasing" stocks.
Signals:
🟢 Low Risk: Price is within 0% – 15% of the 50MA. This is the ideal "Buy Zone".
🟡 Caution: Price is 15% – 25% away. Buy with increased caution.
🔴 Extended: Price is >25% from the MA. Do not buy. The probability of a pullback is high.
⚪ Broken: Price is below the 50MA. The short-term trend is damaged.
C. TPR - Trend Template (Trend Power Rating)
What it checks: Is the stock in a Stage 2 Uptrend?
Strict Rules (All must be true for a PASS):
Price > 50MA > 150MA > 200MA.
The 200MA is trending UP (positive slope).
Price is near the 52-Week High (within 25%).
Price is above the 52-Week Low (at least 25%).
Meaning:
🟢 PASSED: Technically healthy and ready to move.
🔴 FAILED: The trend structure is broken (e.g., MAs are entangled).
D. RPR Score (Relative Performance Rating)
What it checks: How strong the stock is compared to the general market (S&P 500 / SPY).
Calculation: Weighted performance over 3, 6, 9, and 12 months vs. the SPY. The score ranges from 1 to 99.
Meaning:
🟢 80-99: Market Leader. These are the stocks Minervini targets.
🟡 70-80: Good, but not elite.
⚪ Below 70: Laggard (weaker than the market).
E. VCP Action (Volatility Contraction Pattern)
What it checks: Monitors price tightness. It calculates the range between the highest close and lowest close over the last 5 days.
Meaning:
🔵 SQUEEZE (Blue Text + Blue Dot on Chart): The price range has contracted to less than 2.5%.
Why it matters: When a stock stops moving wildly and trades in a tight range ("Flat Line"), it indicates supply has dried up. A high-volume breakout often follows immediately.
Daily Gap + Pre-Market Zones + EMA 9Intraday Gap Zones & Pre-Market Range
Description
Concept & Overview This indicator is designed for intraday traders (Indices and Equities) who focus on structural price action at the market open. The script automates the drawing of two critical liquidity zones:
The Gap Zone: The empty space between the previous Regular Trading Hours (RTH) Close and the current day's Open.
The Pre-Market Range: The High and Low established between 04:00 AM and 09:30 AM ET.
By visualizing these levels automatically, traders can instantly see if the market is opening inside value or gapping out of range. It also includes an EMA 9 to assist with trend determination.
Key Features
Automated Gap Visualization: Automatically draws a box from yesterday's 4:00 PM Close to today's 9:30 AM Open. This box extends to the right, creating a visual reference for potential "Gap Fill" plays.
Pre-Market High/Low: Captures the full range of the pre-market session. Once the market opens, these levels are locked and extended as key Support/Resistance levels for the day.
Timezone Intelligence: The script is hardcoded to America/New_York time. This ensures accurate level detection regardless of your local timezone or chart settings.
Smart Alerts (Context Aware): Unlike standard EMA alerts, this script utilizes specific logic. Alerts are only triggered if an EMA crossover occurs inside the Gap Zone. This filters out noise and focuses on reversals or continuations specifically within the gap.
How it Works
Session Tracking: The script distinguishes between Pre-Market (04:00-09:30 ET) and RTH (09:30-16:00 ET).
Level Locking: At 09:30 AM ET, the script takes a snapshot of the pre-market high/low and the calculated gap. It draws the boxes and locks them for the remainder of the trading day.
EMA Filter: A standard 9-period EMA runs continuously.
Signal Generation: If price is strictly trading inside the Gap Box during RTH, and it crosses the EMA 9, a signal is generated.
Settings & Customization
Gap Zone Color: Customize the color and transparency of the Gap box.
Pre-Market Zone Color: Customize the look of the pre-market range.
EMA Length: Adjust the moving average period (Default: 9).
Best Practices
Timeframe: Best used on intraday timeframes (1m, 3m, 5m, 15m).
Markets: Optimized for US Equities and Indices (SPY, QQQ, NVDA, TSLA, etc.) due to the specific RTH logic.
Disclaimer & Risk Warning

Trend Speed Analyzer with Entries (Zeiierman)📈 Trend Speed Analyzer with Entry Signals (Zeiierman – Modified)
🔹 Overview
This indicator is a trend-following momentum system built around an adaptive (dynamic) moving average and a proprietary trend speed / wave strength engine.
It is designed to identify high-quality continuation entries after price confirms direction, not to predict tops or bottoms.
Best suited for:
Index futures (ES, NQ)
ETFs (SPY, QQQ)
Strongly trending stocks
Intraday or swing trading
🔹 Core Concepts
1️⃣ Dynamic Trend Line (Adaptive EMA)
Instead of using a fixed EMA length, this script dynamically adjusts:
EMA length based on normalized price movement
EMA responsiveness using an accelerator factor
Result:
Fast reaction during strong trends
Smooth behavior during choppy markets
Fewer false flips compared to traditional EMAs
This trend line acts as the primary regime filter.
2️⃣ Trend Speed & Wave Analysis
The indicator tracks trend speed, which represents cumulative directional pressure over time.
It also records:
Bullish wave sizes
Bearish wave sizes
Average vs maximum wave strength
Bull/Bear dominance
These statistics are displayed in an optional table to help assess:
Market bias
Momentum asymmetry
Whether the current move is weak, average, or exceptional
🔹 Entry Signal Logic (One Signal per Trend Shift)
Signals are not spammy.
Only one entry signal is allowed per crossover.
Long Entry Conditions
A long signal is generated when:
Price crosses above the dynamic trend line
A bullish candle forms
The candle body is at least X% of ATR (filters weak/doji candles)
The entire candle body is above the trend line
(Optional) Trend speed is positive
Short Entry Conditions
A short signal is generated when:
Price crosses below the dynamic trend line
A bearish candle forms
The candle body is at least X% of ATR
The entire candle body is below the trend line
(Optional) Trend speed is negative
📌 Once a signal fires, no additional signals will appear until a new crossover occurs.
🔹 What this indicator is NOT
❌ Not a mean-reversion system
❌ Not a prediction tool
❌ Not meant for sideways markets
This tool assumes structure → confirmation → continuation.
🔹 How to Trade It (Suggested Use)
Use higher timeframes (5m–30m) for cleaner signals
Trade in the direction of higher-timeframe bias
Combine with:
VWAP
Key levels (PDH / PDL / PMH / PML)
Market session context
🔹 Customization
Adjust Maximum Length for smoother vs faster trends
Adjust Accelerator Multiplier for sensitivity
Enable/disable speed filter for stricter momentum confirmation
ATR candle filter removes weak signals automatically
⚠️ Disclaimer
This indicator provides technical signals only and does not include trade management, stops, or targets.
Always apply proper risk management.

Power Hour Trendlines [LuxAlgo]The Power Hour Trendlines indicator is based on Power Hours detection, and includes up to three displayed trendlines derived from the closing prices of all the bars within the last user-selected Power Hours.
Users can edit the time of Power Hours, choose how many sessions to take into account, enable or disable any trendlines, and change their colors.
🔶 USAGE
The Power Hour is defined as the last hour of the trading session and is set by default from 3:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. New York time. During this period, volume and volatility enter the market. Traders using higher timeframes may use this period to enter or exit positions by placing MOC (Market on Close) orders.
This tool works under the hypothesis that prices made during power hours (periods with high trading activity) are more relevant when used for the construction of trendlines.
An initial trendline is fit using linear regression; prices from power hours located above this initial fit are used for the upper trendline, while the ones below the fit are used for the lower one.
As with any trendline, traders can analyze the slope to determine the market's direction:
Positive slope: The market is trending up.
Negative slope: The market is trending down.
No slope: The market is trending sideways.
As we can see in the image, Nasdaq and Bitcoin are clearly in downtrends, gold is clearly in an uptrend, and the euro/U.S. dollar is in a sideways market over the last visible sessions.
As you can see, the trend lines may or may not be parallel to each other. The wider the area, the more volatile the data. The narrower the area, the less volatile the data. Let's look at an example.
In the image, the Dow30 and the euro/U.S. dollar have opposite behaviors. The volatility above the middle trendline is growing in the first case but shrinking in the second. In both cases, the volatility in the bottom area seems steady, so there are no big surprises there.
Traders can adjust the number of sessions for calculations, making the tool ideal for analyzing price behavior over different time frames.
As the image shows, we can clearly see how the market behaves over different time periods. XLY has been moving down over the last 10, 20, and 40 sessions, with a steeper decline over shorter periods. However, it has been moving sideways over the last 70 sessions.
One of the main uses of trendlines is to provide key support and resistance. In the image, SPY is shown with trendlines over the last 20 sessions. These lines provide excellent reference points for trading and observing price behavior in those areas, such as whether prices are accepted or rejected, which may trigger a response from other traders.
🔹 Not Allowed Timeframes
For obvious reasons, timeframes larger than 1H are not allowed. The Power Hour is defined as the last hour of the trading session. The tool will display a warning message if the timeframe is longer than 60 minutes.
🔶 SETTINGS
Power Hour (NY Time): Choose a custom Power Hour in New York time
Sessions Memory: Select how many Power Hours to take into account for calculations.
🔹 Style
Top: Enable or disable the top line and choose the line and background colors.
Middle: Enable or disable the middle line and choose the line color.
Bottom: Enable or disable the bottom line and choose the line and background colors.
Background: Enable or disable the background color for top and bottom lines.
Mashrab | Momentum X-RayStop guessing if a stock is strong or weak. The Momentum X-Ray is a professional Heads-Up Display (HUD) that tells you the truth about a stock in seconds.
Most indicators just look at price. This dashboard looks at the Context:
Relative Strength (The "King of the Hill" Check):
It doesn't just compare stocks to the S&P 500.
It automatically detects the stock's specific industry (e.g., Semiconductors, Regional Banks, Gold Miners) and compares it against its actual peers.
Green = The stock is a Leader (Beating its sector).
Red = The stock is a Laggard (Losing to its sector).
Fundamental Health (The "Engine" Check):
Instantly see Revenue Growth (QoQ and YoY) and Net Profit Margins.
Filters out "junk" stocks that are moving up on hype but have no real business growth.
Volatility Scanner:
Calculates the ADR (Average Daily Range) to help you size your positions correctly.
How to Read the Signals:
Top Table (Momentum): Look for Double Green. If a stock is beating the SPY and its Sector, it is an "Alpha Leader."
Bottom Table (Context): Check the "Industry" row to see exactly which ETF the script is using for comparison (e.g., SMH for Chips, KRE for Banks).
Options Liquidity Meter (OLM)❓ The question behind this indicator
When trading options, it is common to experience situations where price moves in the expected direction, yet the option contract does not increase in value as anticipated.
This typically happens when one or more of the following conditions is missing:
Insufficient liquidity participation
Lack of volatility expansion
Weak or passive order flow
Options Liquidity Meter (OLM) was created to address this specific question:
“If price moves from here, are there conditions for option premiums to actually expand?”
🎯 What this indicator does
Options Liquidity Meter is a context tool, not a trading system.
It evaluates whether the current market environment is favorable for option premium expansion , based on three core engines:
Liquidity (Relative Volume)
Measures whether price movement is supported by meaningful participation.
Volatility State
Identifies compression, release, and expansion phases, where options tend to respond differently.
Order Flow Activity (OBV-based)
Acts as a proxy for active vs. passive participation, helping filter hollow moves.
These components are combined into a single, easy-to-read options context.
🟢🟡🔴 Options Context Output
The indicator displays one consolidated state:
RED — NO EXPANSION
Price may move, but option premiums often do not respond.
YELLOW — BUILDING
Liquidity or volatility is developing. Conditions are improving but not fully aligned.
GREEN — EXPANSION LIKELY
Liquidity, volatility expansion, and active flow are aligned.
This is a favorable environment for option premium expansion.
The same logic is reflected visually through the background color and summarized in the dashboard.
📊 How to read the dashboard
The dashboard shows:
Liquidity: LOW / OK / HIGH
Volatility: COMPRESSED / RELEASED / EXPANDING
Order Flow: FLAT / ACTIVE
Options Context: NO EXPANSION / BUILDING / EXPANSION LIKELY
Below, a Background Color Meaning section explains what each color represents, making the indicator intuitive and educational.
📍 Where to apply this indicator
Options Liquidity Meter must be applied to the underlying asset chart, such as:
Indices (SPY, SPX, QQQ, etc.)
Stocks
Futures
ETFs
It is not designed to be applied to option contracts themselves.
The indicator evaluates the market conditions of the underlying, which are the drivers that influence option premium behavior.
Contract selection (strike, delta, gamma, expiration) remains the trader’s responsibility.
🧠 How to use it
Use your own methodology to define:
Direction
Structure
Entries and exits
Use Options Liquidity Meter to evaluate:
Whether the current environment supports option premium expansion
If the context is RED, be cautious — price may move without rewarding options.
If the context is GREEN, the environment is statistically more favorable for options responsiveness.
🔗 Complementary tools
Options Liquidity Meter is designed to complement, not replace, other tools.
It works well alongside:
Opening Path Selector (EMA200 Context Tool)
For deciding which asset offers the cleanest directional context.
Multi-Tool VWAP + EMAs (Multi-Timeframe) + Key Levels
For in-chart structure, bias, and reference levels.
Each tool addresses a different stage of the decision process and can be used independently.
⚠️ Important notes

Options Chain Table [Enhanced]The primary purpose of this script is Unusual Options Activity (UOA) Detection.Identifying "Whales": Traders use it to spot when large institutions or "smart money" are aggressively buying Calls (betting price goes up) or Puts (betting price goes down).Contextualizing Volume: Instead of just showing raw volume (e.g., "10,000 contracts traded"), it calculates a Ratio. If the average volume is 1,000 and today's volume is 10,000, that is a 10x Spike, which is highly significant.0DTE & Short-Term Trading: It is optimized for analyzing the "Active Expiration" (often the current day for SPX/NDX), making it useful for 0DTE (Zero Days to Expiration) strategies.2. Key Features & VisualsThe script overlays a table on your chart with the following columns:ColumnDescriptionCall AvgThe historical average volume (Moving Average) for the Call option.Call RatioThe "Spike Factor." calculated as $ NSE:CURRENT Volume / Average Volume$$. High ratios turn Green.Call VolThe actual volume traded today for that Call strike.StrikeThe Strike Price of the option (e.g., 5800). The "At-The-Money" (ATM) strike is highlighted Blue.Put VolThe actual volume traded today for that Put strike.Put RatioThe "Spike Factor" for Puts. High ratios turn Red/Fuchsia.Put AvgThe historical average volume (Moving Average) for the Put option.3. How It Works (Technical Breakdown)This script uses advanced Pine Script techniques to bypass some of TradingView's limitations regarding options data.A. Dynamic Symbol ConstructionTradingView does not have a simple function to "get the option chain." This script manually constructs the ticker symbol for each option contract using the OPRA format:Format: OPRA:ROOT Example: OPRA:SPXW251226C5800 (SPX Weekly, Dec 26, 2025, Call, 5800 Strike).B. Tuple Fetching (Optimization)TradingView limits scripts to 40 request.security calls. To display 11 rows of data (which would normally require 44 calls: Call Vol, Call MA, Put Vol, Put MA per row), the script uses Tuple Fetching. It requests the Volume and the Moving Average in a single request, cutting the data usage in half and allowing the table to load faster without errors.C. Spike LogicIt calculates a moving average (EMA or SMA) of the volume over a set lookback period (default 20 bars).Medium Spike (M): Volume is > 2x the average.Large Spike (L): Volume is > 3.5x the average.Extreme Spike (E): Volume is > 5x the average.4. How to Use It (User Guide)To use this script effectively, you must configure the "Inputs" correctly, as it cannot always guess the correct expiration dates automatically.Add to Chart: Add the script to a chart (works best on indices like SPX, NDX, SPY, QQQ).Set the Center Price (Crucial):In the settings, look for "Manual Center Price".Input the current price of the asset (e.g., if SPX is at 5815, enter 5815).Why? The script generates strikes around this number. If you leave it 0, it might try to use the close price, which can be buggy during pre-market or if data is delayed.Set the Expiration (DTE):The script attempts to default to "Today," but for best results, manually enter the date in YYMMDD format in the "Manual DTE" field.Example: For December 26, 2025, enter 251226.Read the Alerts:The script allows you to set alerts in TradingView."Any Spike → CALL": Tells you a Call option just had a massive volume spike."Any Spike → PUT": Tells you a Put option just had a massive volume spike.5. Strategy ExampleA trader using this script might see the following scenario:Market: SPX is trading sideways at 5800.Signal: The table flashes a bright green cell on the 5850 Call with a ratio of "E 6.2x" (Extreme, 6.2 times normal volume).Interpretation: Someone is aggressively buying out-of-the-money Calls. The trader might interpret this as a bullish signal (Gamma exposure increasing at 5850) and enter a long position, expecting the price to be magnetized toward 5850.
Mag 7 EMA Trend MonitorDashboard Layout:
1. Symbol Column: The Mag 7 tickers.
2. Trend Column: Visual Bull/Bear status.
3. Strength Column: Percentage distance from the mean (EMA 21).
4. Aggregate Row: Summary of market breadth and average sector pull/push.
How to Interpret the Trend Strength:
• Positive %: The stock is trading above its 21 EMA. A very high number (e.g., $+15\%$) might suggest the stock is "overbought" or overextended.
• Negative %: The stock is trading below its 21 EMA. A very low number (e.g., $-10\%$) might suggest it is "oversold."
• Avg Strength: This gives you a bird's-eye view of the sector. If the aggregate is "5 Up / 2 Down" but the Avg Strength is only $+0.5\%$, the trend is weak and might be exhausting.
"Pro-tips" for tool:
• Multi-Timeframe Correlation: Try setting the Dashboard Timeframe to "D" (Daily) while trading on a "5m" or "15m" chart. This allows you to see if your intraday trade is aligned with the "Big Money" trend of the week.
• The 4/7 Rule: Watch for that Aggregate row to hit 4 out of 7. In the Mag 7, since these stocks carry so much weight in the SPY and QQQ, a shift to a majority (4+) often precedes a move in the overall market indices.
Buying Opportunity Score V2.2Buying Opportunity Indicator V2.2
What This Indicator Does
This indicator identifies potential buying opportunities during market fear and pullbacks by combining multiple technical signals into a single composite score (0-100). Higher scores indicate more fear/oversold conditions are present simultaneously.
Why These Components?
Market bottoms typically occur when multiple fear signals align. This indicator combines five complementary measurements that each capture different aspects of market stress:
1. VIX Level (30 points) - Measures implied volatility/fear. VIX spikes during selloffs as traders buy protection. Thresholds based on historical percentiles (VIX 25+ is ~85th percentile historically).
2. Price Drawdown (30 points) - Distance from 52-week high. Larger drawdowns create better risk/reward for mean reversion entries. A 10%+ drawdown from highs historically presents better entry points than buying at all-time highs.
3. RSI 14 (12 points) - Classic momentum oscillator measuring oversold conditions. RSI below 30 indicates short-term selling exhaustion.
4. Bollinger Band Position (13 points) - Statistical measure of price extension. Price below the lower band (2 standard deviations) indicates statistically unusual weakness.
5. VIX Timing (15 points) - Bonus points when VIX is declining from a recent peak. This helps avoid catching falling knives by waiting for fear to subside.
How The Score Works
- Each component contributes points based on severity
- Components are weighted by predictive value from historical analysis
- Score of 70+ means multiple fear signals are present
- Score of 80+ means extreme fear across most components
How To Use
1. Apply to SPY, QQQ, or IWM on daily timeframe
2. Monitor the Current Score in the statistics table
3. Scores below 50 = normal conditions, no action needed
4. Scores 60-69 = elevated fear, monitor closely
5. Scores 70+ = consider entering long positions
6. Scores 80+ = strongest historical entry points
Important Limitations
- This is a research tool, not financial advice
- Past patterns may not repeat in the future
- Signals are infrequent (typically 2-4 per year reaching 70+)
- Works best on broad market ETFs; not validated for individual stocks
- Always use proper position sizing and risk management
- The indicator identifies conditions that have historically been favorable, but cannot predict future returns
Statistics Table

NeuralFlow Forecast Levels - User InputsThis is a companion indicator that plots AI-adaptive market equilibrium and expansion mapping levels directly on the SPY chart.
NeuralFlow Forecast Levels are generated through a Artificial Intelligence framework trained to identify:
Where price is statistically inclined to re-balance
Where expansion zones historically exhaust rather than extend
This is structure mapping, not prediction.
......................................................................................
What the Bands Represent?
AI Equilibrium (white core)
Primary weekly balance zone where price is most likely to mean-revert.
Predictive Rails (aqua / purple)
High-confidence corridor of institutional flow containment.
Outer Zones (green / red)
Expansion limits where continuation historically begins to decay.
Extreme Zones (top / bottom)
Rare deviation envelope where auction completion is statistically favored.
.The engine updates only when underlying structure changes —
not when candles fluctuate intraday.
.................................................................................................................
Usage Context
These levels are contextual reference zones, not entry signals. They are designed to answer:
Where does price matter?
Where does continuation weaken?
Where does balance statistically reassert itself?

TRS (Trend Readiness System)TRS – Trend Readiness System
TRS (Trend Readiness System) is a trend-aligned trading framework designed to help you identify stocks that are becoming ready for entry , not just those already breaking out.
Instead of producing noisy buy/sell signals, TRS evaluates trend quality, pullback structure, momentum rebuilding, and market context , and converts them into clear scores, states, and timing awareness — both on the chart and inside the TradingView Screener.
---
Core Philosophy
Strong trends don’t start at the breakout — they start when conditions quietly align.
TRS focuses on:
• Primary trend alignment
• Healthy pullbacks above long-term support
• Early momentum recovery
• Market regime confirmation
• Entry timing (fresh vs late)
---
What TRS Measures
1. Setup Score (Trend Quality)
Answers the question: “Is this stock structurally worth watching?”
Based on:
• Price position relative to MA150
• Long-term trend direction
• Higher-low structure
• Distance from MA150 (overextension control)
• Market regime (bullish / bearish)
---
2. Entry Score (Timing Quality)
Answers the question: “Is the timing right — or still early?”
Based on:
• Short and mid-term moving averages
• Pullback behavior
• Momentum stabilization
• Volume confirmation
---
3. General Score
A combined readiness score used for ranking in the TradingView Screener:
General Score = Setup Score + Entry Score
---
Entry State Tracking (Key Feature)
TRS tracks the full entry lifecycle , not just signals:
• Valid Entry
• Pending Entry (almost ready)
• Bars Since Valid Entry
• Entry Window (Fresh / Expired)
• Entry Still Valid (Yes / No)
This helps avoid chasing late or already-played setups.
---
Market Regime Filter
Signals automatically adapt to overall market conditions:
• Market trend confirmation (e.g. SPY / QQQ)
• Reduced false signals during weak markets
• Clear explanation when setups are blocked
---
Visual Dashboard (Optional)
The on-chart dashboard can display:
• General Score
• Market state
• Setup quality
• Entry status
• Entry window
• Bars since entry
• Blocking reason (if any)
You can switch between:
• Minimal mode – essential info only
• Full table mode – detailed diagnostics
---
Screener Integration
TRS exposes clean numeric outputs for the TradingView Pine Screener:
• Setup Score
• Entry Score
• General Score
• Pending Entry (1 / 0)
• Valid Entry (1 / 0)
• Bars Since Valid Entry
• Market Bullish (1 / 0)
Example Screener Filters:
• Setup Score ≥ 50
• Pending Entry = 1
• Bars Since Valid Entry ≤ 3
• Market Bullish = 1
---
How to Use TRS (Daily Routine)
Step 1 – Scan
• Look for high Setup Score
• Prefer Pending Entry = 1
Step 2 – Review
• Confirm pullback quality
• Check MA150 support
• Observe momentum rebuilding
Step 3 – Act
• Enter only on Valid Entry
• Avoid expired entry windows
• Skip setups blocked by market regime
---
What TRS Is NOT
• Not a breakout chaser
• Not a day-trading system
• Not signal spam
TRS is a decision-support system for swing and position traders who value structure, context, and timing.
---
Best Used On
• Daily timeframe (1D)
• Liquid stocks & ETFs
• Trend-following strategies
• Portfolio-level screening

Heikin Ashi Wick Strategy
🔥 Heikin Ashi Wick Momentum Strategy
“Trade momentum decay before the trend breaks.
>> FOCUS ON WICKS, NOT ONLY CANDLE COLOR<<
What Makes This Different (Traffic Driver)
✔ Uses Heikin Ashi wicks (almost nobody does this correctly)
✔ Captures trend continuation, not breakouts
✔ Exits before momentum collapse, not after
✔ Non-repainting
✔ Clean charts, instant readability
This Strategy Is REALLY Trading
This is a Heikin Ashi momentum-decay system:
• Enters when trend is strong but not euphoric
• Exits when:
o Trend stops probing higher
o Sellers gain relative strength
It avoids:
• Chasing strong breakout candles
• Holding through momentum rollovers
Candle Type Used: Heikin Ashi (manually calculated)
NOTE: The script does not use regular candles.
It reconstructs Heikin Ashi (HA) candles from raw OHLC:
• HA Close = average of open, high, low, close
• HA Open = midpoint of prior HA candle (smoothed)
• HA High / Low = extremes of HA open/close vs real high/low
➡️ This filters noise and emphasizes trend structure and momentum.
Strengths
✅ Works well in strong, smooth trends
✅ Very clean logic (no indicators)
✅ Non-repainting
✅ Early exits protect capital
Best Use
This works best on:
• Daily timeframe
• Strong trend ETFs / megacaps
o QQQ
o SPY
o NVDA, MSFT, AAPL
• When combined with:
o EMA 21 trend filter (your preference)
o Market regime filter (e.g., above 50/200 SMA)
o Rising 10 EMA and 20 EMA
________________________________________
8️⃣ Weaknesses (Important)
⚠️ No stop loss (only structure-based exits)
⚠️ Can exit too early in explosive trends
⚠️ Will chop in sideways markets
⚠️ No volatility filter (ATR, EMA, regime)
How to Avoid the Weaknesses — Summary
Turn the setup from a concept into a robust strategy by adding these controls:
1. Trade Only Trends
o Require price above EMA-21 (optionally EMA-21 > EMA-50)
o Eliminates chop and sideways markets
2. Improve Exits (Avoid Leaving Winners Too Early)
o Partial exit when upper wick disappears
o Full exit only when lower wick dominates
o Optional: require 2 consecutive exit candles
3. Add Risk Protection
o Use a volatility stop: ~1.5× ATR(14) below entry or below HA swing low
o Protects against gaps and sudden reversals
4. Filter Weak Signals
o Require meaningful wick size (≈30–40% of candle range)
o Avoids low-quality indecision candles
5. Avoid Bad Volatility
o Skip entries when ATR is expanding aggressively
o Focus on calmer, controllable trends
6. Limit Time in Trade
o Add a max bars hold (e.g., 10–15 bars on daily)
o Prevents capital getting stuck in fading trends
⚠️ Educational use only. Not financial advice. Trading involves risk and losses can exceed expectations. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Use at your own risk.
Market Pressure Regime [Interakktive]The Market Pressure Regime (MPR) is a 4-state market classifier that models how structural forces create "pressure zones" — regions where price movement is either supported (Release) or suppressed (Pinned) by market microstructure.
It combines compression analysis, follow-through efficiency, and stress detection into a composite pressure score, classifying markets into Release, Suppressed, Transition, or Trap states — helping traders understand WHY price is moving (or not moving) in the current environment.
█ USAGE
MPR addresses a core question traders face: Is the market in a regime where directional moves are likely to follow through, or is it structurally pinned?
For swing traders, MPR identifies Release phases where momentum strategies work best, and Suppressed phases where mean reversion dominates.
For day traders, it highlights Trap conditions — high effort with no follow-through — where reversals are probable and trend entries fail.
🔹 The 4-State Model
The indicator classifies markets into four distinct regimes:
• Release (Teal): Pressure score ≥ +5. Directional flow dominates. Price moves efficiently with follow-through. Favor trend continuation.
• Suppressed (Grey): Pressure score ≤ -5. Compression dominates. Price is range-bound or pinned. Fade extremes, expect reversion.
• Transition (Amber): Score between thresholds OR instability detected. Regime is uncertain — wait for confirmation before committing.
• Trap (Magenta): High stress + low follow-through. Effort without result. Expect reversals.
🔹 Reading the Pressure Histogram
The histogram displays the composite Pressure Score (range approximately -100 to +100):
• Positive values: Follow-through exceeds compression. Market is "releasing" — directional moves are supported.
• Negative values: Compression exceeds follow-through. Market is "suppressed" — price movement is constrained.
• Color reflects confirmed state: The histogram uses persistence filtering — a state must hold for N bars before the color changes, preventing false signals from noise.
🔹 The 5-Stage Calculation
MPR synthesizes five analytical stages into the final state:
1. Compression Score: Measures how tight the current range is relative to ATR. High compression suggests structural forces are pinning price.
2. Follow-Through Score: Measures price path efficiency (MER-style). Efficient moves indicate genuine directional flow, not chop.
3. Stress Score: Detects effort-without-result (ERD-style). High volume or range with no price progress = absorption.
4. Composite Pressure: Combines follow-through and compression into a single directional score.
5. Persistence Filter: Requires states to hold for configurable bars before confirming, eliminating flickering.
█ SETTINGS
Core Settings
• ATR Length: Period for volatility normalization. Default 14.
• Baseline Lookback: Period for compression and efficiency baselines. Default 20.
• Volume Average Length: Period for stress calculation baseline. Default 20.
State Classification
• Release Threshold: Pressure score above this = Release. Default +5.
• Suppressed Threshold: Pressure score below this = Suppressed. Default -5.
• Trap Threshold: Stress score above this (with low follow-through) = Trap. Default 30.
• Persistence Bars: Bars required to confirm state change. Default 3.
• Stability Lookback: Period for stability calculation. Default 20.
• Stability Threshold: Below this = forced Transition state. Default 0.5.
Visual Settings
• Show Pressure Histogram: Display the main pressure score histogram.
• Show Zero Line: Display the zero reference line.
• Show Background Tint: Subtle background color by state (default OFF).
Data Window
• Show Data Window Values: Export all calculated scores for analysis.
█ INTERPRETATION GUIDE
When to Use Trend Strategies (Release):
• Histogram tall and positive
• Teal coloring confirmed
• Price making efficient higher highs or lower lows
When to Use Mean Reversion (Suppressed):
• Histogram flat or negative
• Grey coloring confirmed
• Price oscillating without follow-through
When to Wait (Transition):
• Amber coloring
• Mixed signals — don't force trades
• Wait for state to resolve
When to Expect Reversals (Trap):
• Magenta coloring
• High volume moves that don't stick
• Often occurs at structural inflection points
█ COMPLEMENTARY TOOLS
MPR pairs well with:
• Volatility State Index (VSI) — Confirms whether volatility is expanding into the pressure regime
• Effort-Result Divergence (ERD) — Provides bar-by-bar absorption/vacuum detection
• Market Efficiency Ratio (MER) — Validates follow-through quality
█ SUITABLE MARKETS
Works across all liquid markets:
• Equities: SPY, QQQ, liquid single stocks
• Futures: ES, NQ, CL, GC
• Crypto: BTC, ETH
• Forex: Major pairs
Works on any timeframe, but 1H–Daily provides cleanest regime classification. Intraday (5m–15m) useful for session-level tactical decisions.

ODTE Layman Signals 📌 Script Name
Layman Options Signals – Structured BUY CALL / BUY PUT with SL & TP
📖 Overview
This indicator is a complete, finished intraday trading system designed to simplify options trading (including 0DTE and weekly options) by converting price action and market structure into clear, actionable signals.
The script performs all analysis in the background and displays only what the trader needs to execute consistently:
BUY CALL or BUY PUT
Predefined Stop Loss (SL)
Two Take Profit levels (TP1 and TP2)
Trade status and levels displayed in a live status box
The focus of this tool is execution discipline, not prediction.
🧠 Core Concepts Used (What Makes This Script Original)
This script combines multiple price-action concepts into a single, rule-based framework:
1️⃣ Opening Range Breakout (ORB)
The script calculates the opening range high and low using the first X minutes of the regular session.
Trades are only allowed above ORB high for CALLs and below ORB low for PUTs.
This filters low-quality trades during early chop.
2️⃣ Market Structure Confirmation
CALL trades require higher highs and higher lows
PUT trades require lower lows and lower highs
This prevents trading against structure.
3️⃣ Retest & Liquidity Sweep Validation
Breakouts are validated using:
ORB retests (price accepts above/below the range)
Liquidity sweeps (false breakouts that trap traders)
This helps reduce fake breakouts.
4️⃣ Volatility-Aware Risk Management
Stop losses are placed using market structure + ATR buffer
This avoids stops being placed at obvious levels.
5️⃣ Multi-Target Trade Management
TP1 = partial profit (risk reduction)
TP2 = runner target (trend continuation)
After TP1, stop loss can move to breakeven (optional)
6️⃣ Discipline Controls
Only one active trade at a time
Cooldown period after a stop loss
Prevents over-trading and revenge trading
📊 What the Indicator Displays
The script plots the following directly on the chart:
Entry level
Stop Loss (SL)
Take Profit 1 (TP1)
Take Profit 2 (TP2)
Opening Range High & Low
It also includes a Status Box that always shows one of the following states:
WAIT
BUY CALL
BUY PUT
IN TRADE
COOLDOWN
This allows traders to understand the current state at a glance without reading code.
▶️ How to Use the Indicator
Recommended Timeframes
1-minute or 2-minute charts

---
## CONFLUENCE SYSTEM
### How It Works
The system scores each potential entry on 5 factors. More factors aligning = higher probability.
### Confluence Requirements by Regime
**Trending Regimes** (strictest):
- Minimum 2/5 required
- 3/5 = Good
- 4-5/5 = Excellent
**Ranging Regimes** (moderate):
- Minimum 1-2/5 required
- 2/5 = Good
- 3+/5 = Excellent
**Consolidation** (breakout only):
- Volume is most critical
- Direction confirmation
- Less confluence needed
### Adjusting Minimum Confluence
**If too few signals:**
- Lower from 2 to 1
- More trades, lower quality
**If too many false signals:**
- Raise from 2 to 3
- Fewer trades, higher quality
**Recommendation:**
- Start at 2
- Adjust based on win rate
- Aim for 55-65% win rate

## COMMON QUESTIONS
**Q: How many trades per month should I expect?**
A: Depends on timeframe and settings. Daily chart: 5-15 trades/month. 4H chart: 15-30 trades/month.
**Q: What's a good win rate?**
A: 55-65% is excellent. 50-55% is good. Below 50% needs adjustment.
**Q: Should I trade all regimes?**
A: Beginners: Only trending. Intermediate: Trending + ranging. Advanced: All except chaos.
**Q: Can I use this on any timeframe?**
A: Best on Daily and 4H. Works on 1H with more noise. Not recommended <1H.
**Q: What if I'm in a trade and regime changes?**
A: Exit immediately (if using indicator) or let strategy handle it automatically.
**Q: How do I know if I'm over-optimizing?**
A: If results are perfect on one period but fail on another. Use walk-forward testing.
**Q: Should I always take 5/5 confluence trades?**
A: Yes, but they're rare (1-2/month). Don't wait only for these.
**Q: Can I combine this with other indicators?**
A: Yes, but keep it simple. RSI, MACD already included. Maybe add volume profile.
**Q: What assets work best?**
A: Liquid stocks, major crypto, futures. Avoid forex spot (use futures), penny stocks.
**Q: How long to hold positions?**
A: Trending: Days to weeks. Ranging: Hours to days. Breakout: Days. Let the regime guide you.

Pair Creation🙏🏻 The one and only pair construction tech you need, unlike others:
Applies one consistent operation to all the data features (not only prices). Then, the script outputs these, so you can apply other calculations on these outputs.
calculates a very fast and native volatility based hedge ratio, that also takes into account point value (think SPY vs ES) so you can easily use it in position sizing
Has built-in forward pricing aka cost of carry model , so you can de-drift pairs from cost of carry, discover spot price of oil based on futures, and ofc find arbitrage opportunities
Also allows to make a pair as a product of 2 series, useful for triangular arbitrage
This script can make a pair in 2 ways:
Ratio, by dividing leg 1 by leg 2
Product, by multiplying leg 1 by leg 2
The real mathematically right way to construct a pair is a ratio/product (Spreads are in fact = 2 legged portfolio, but I ain't told ya that ok). Why? Because a pair of 2 entities has a mathematically unique beauty, it allows direct comparisons and relationship analysis, smth you can't do directly with 3 and more components.
Multiplication (think inversions like (EURUSD -> USDEUR), and use cases for triangular arbitrage) is useful sometimes too.
...
Quickguide:
First, "Legs" are pair components: make a pair of related assets. Don’t be guided exclusively by clustering, cointegrations, mutual information etc. Common sense and exogenous info can easily made them all Forward pricing model: is useful when u work with spot vs futures pairs. Otherwise: put financing, storage and yield all on zeros, this way u will turn it off and have a pure ratio/product of 2 legs.
Look at the 2 numbers on the script’s status line: the first one would always be 1), and the second one is a variable.
First number (always 1) is multiplier for your position size on leg 1
The second number is the multiplier for your position size on leg 2 in the opposite direction.
If both legs are related, trading your sizes with these multipliers makes you do statistical arbitrage -> trading ~ volatility in risk free mode, while the relationship between the assets is still in place.
Also guys srsly, nobody ‘ever’ made a universal law that somewhy somehow for whatever secret conspiracy reason one shall only trade pairs in mean reverting style xd. You can do whatever you want:
Tilt hedge ratio significantly based on relative strength of legs
Trade the pair in momentum style
Ignore hedge ratio all together
And more and more, the limit is your imagination, e.g.:
Anticipate hedge ratio changes based on exogenous info and act accordingly
Scalp a pair just like any other asset
Make a pair out of 2 pairs
Like I mean it, whatever you desire
About forward pricing model:
It’s applied only to leg 2;
Direct: takes spot price and finds out implied futures price
Inverse: takes futures price and finds out implied spot price (try on oil)
Pls read online how to choose parameters, it’s open access reliable info
About the hedge ratio I use:
You prolly noticed the way I prefer to use inferred volumes vs the “real” ones. In pairs it’s especially meaningful, because real volumes lose sense in pair creation. And while volumes are closely tied to volatility, the inferred volumes ‘Are’ volatility irl (and later can be converted to currency space by using point value, allowing direct comparisons symbol vs symbol).
This hedge ratio is a good example of how discovering the real nature of entities beats making 100s of inventions, why domain knowledge and proper feature engineering beats difficult bulky models, neural networks etc. How simple data understanding & operations on it is all you need.
This script simply does this:
Takes inferred volume delta of both assets, makes a ratio, normalizes it by tick sizes and points values of both legs, calculates a typical value of this series.
That’s it, no step 2, we’re done. No Kalman filters, no TLS regression, no vine copulas, or whatever new fancy keywords you can come up with etc.
...
^^ comparing real ES prices vs theoretical ones by forward-pricing model. Financing: 0.04, yield 0.0175
^^ EURUSD, 6E futures with theoretical futures price calculated with interest rate differential 0.02 (4% USD - 2% EUR interest rates)
^^4 different pairs (RTY/ES, YM/ES, NQ/ES, ES/ZN) each with different plot style (pick one you like in script's Style settings)
^^ YM/RTY pair, each plot represents ratio of different features: ratio of prices, ratio of inferred volume deltas, ratio of inferred volumes, ratio of inferred tick counts (also can be turned on/off in Style settings)

How can u upgrade it and make a step forward yourself:
On tradingview missing values are automatically fixed by backfilling, and this never becomes a thing until you hit high frequency data. You can do better and use Kalman filter for filling missing values.

Quality Detector (Buffett Style) + Beta [Solid]This indicator acts as an on-chart fundamental screener, designed to instantly evaluate the quality and financial health of a company directly on your price chart.
The concept is inspired by "Buffettology" principles: looking for large, profitable companies with low debt. Additionally, it includes a Beta calculation to assess market volatility risk.
The tool displays a panel in the bottom-right corner featuring four key metrics and a final verdict.
How it Works & Metrics Used
The script retrieves quarterly fundamental data ("FQ") and performs calculations to verify if the asset meets specific criteria.
1. Market Cap (Size)
What it is: The total market value of the company's outstanding shares.
Goal: To identify established, large-cap companies.
Default Threshold: Must be greater than $10 Billion.
2. ROE - Return on Equity (Quality)
What it is: A measure of financial performance calculated by dividing net income by shareholders' equity.
Goal: To find companies that are efficient at generating profits from shareholders' capital.
Default Threshold: Must be higher than 15%.
3. Total Debt to Equity (Health)
What it is: A ratio indicating the relative proportion of shareholders' equity and debt used to finance a company's assets.
Calculation: This script manually calculates this ratio by fetching TOTAL_DEBT and dividing it by TOTAL_EQUITY from fundamental data to ensure robustness across different symbols.
Goal: To ensure the company is not overly leveraged.
Default Threshold: Must be lower than 1.5.
4. Beta (Risk/Volatility)
What it is: A measure of a stock's volatility in relation to the overall market (S&P 500).
Calculation: It is calculated by comparing the asset's returns against SPY (S&P 500 ETF) returns over a 252-day period (approx. 1 trading year).
Goal: To understand if the stock is more volatile (Beta > 1) or less volatile (Beta < 1) than the market.
Note: Beta does not affect the final "Quality" score but serves as an extra risk indicator, highlighting in orange if Beta > 1.
The Verdict (Scoring System)
The indicator assigns a score from 0 to 3 based on the first three fundamental metrics (Size, ROE, and Debt/Equity).
If a metric passes the threshold, it gets a green background and +1 point.
If it fails, it gets a red background.
Final Verdict:
💎 QUALITY GEM: The company passed all 3 fundamental checks (Score = 3/3).
⚠️ DISCARD: The company failed one or more fundamental checks.
Settings
You can customize the thresholds to fit your own investment strategy in the indicator settings:
Minimum Market Cap (in Billions).
Minimum ROE (%).
Maximum Debt/Equity Ratio.

Trinity ATR Real Move DetectorTrinity ATR Real Move Detector
This ATR Energy Table indicator is one of the simplest yet most powerful filters you can have on a chart when trading short-dated or 0DTE options or swing trades on any timeframe from 1-minute up to 4-hour. Its entire job is to answer the single most important question in intraday and swing trading: “Does the underlying actually have enough short-term explosive energy right now to make a directional position worth the theta and the spread, or is this just pretty candles that will die in ten minutes?”
Most losing 0DTE and short-dated option trades happen because people buy or sell direction on a “nice-looking” breakout or pullback while the underlying is actually in low-energy grind mode. The premium decays faster than the move develops, and you lose even when you’re “right” on direction. This little table stops that from ever happening again.
Here’s what it does in plain English:
Every bar it measures two things:
- The current ATR on whatever timeframe you are using (1 min, 3 min, 5 min, 10 min, etc.). This tells you how big the average true range of the last 14 bars has been — in other words, how violently the stock or index is actually moving right now.
- The daily ATR (14-period on the daily chart). This is your benchmark for “normal” daily movement over the last two–three weeks.
It then multiplies the daily ATR by a small number (the multiplier you set) and compares the two. If the short-term ATR is bigger than that percentage of the daily ATR, the table turns bright green and says “ENOUGH ENERGY”. If not, it stays red and says “NOT ENOUGH”.
Why this works so well:
- Real explosive moves that carry for 0DTE and 1–3 DTE options almost always show a short-term ATR spike well above the recent daily average. Quiet grind moves never do.
- The comparison is completely adaptive — on a high-vol day the threshold automatically rises, on a low-vol day it automatically drops. You never have to guess if “2 points on SPY is big today”.
- It removes emotion completely. You simply wait for green before you even think about clicking buy or sell on an option.
Key settings and what to do with them:
- Energy Multiplier — this is the only number you ever touch. It is expressed as a decimal (0.15 = 15 % of the daily ATR). Lower = more signals, higher = stricter and higher win rate. The tooltip gives you the exact sweet-spot numbers for every popular timeframe (0.09 for 1-minute scalping, 0.13 for 3-minute, 0.14–0.16 for 5-minute, 0.15–0.19 for 10-minute, etc.). Just pick your timeframe once and type the number — done forever.
- ATR Length — leave it at 14. That’s the standard and works perfectly.
- Table Position — move the table to wherever you want on the chart (top-right, bottom-right, bottom-left, top-left).
- Table Size — make the text Tiny, Small, Normal or Large depending on how much screen space you have.
How this helps you make money and stop losing it:
- On most days you will see red 80–90 % of the time — that’s good! It is forcing you to sit on your hands instead of overtrading low-energy chop that eats premium.
- When it finally flips green you know institutions are actually pushing size right now — follow-through probability jumps from ~40 % to 65–75 % depending on the stock and timeframe.
- You stop buying calls on every green candle and puts on every red candle. You only strike when the market is genuinely “awake”.
- Over a week you take dramatically fewer trades, but your win rate and average winner size go way up — which is exactly how consistent intraday option profits are made.
In short, this tiny table is the closest thing to an “edge on/off switch” that exists for short-dated options. Red = preserve capital and go do something else. Green = pull the trigger with confidence. Use it religiously and you’ll immediately feel the difference in your P&L.
