𝗔𝗹𝗴𝗼𝗔𝘂𝗿𝗮 "AlgoAura is a technical analysis tool designed to assist traders in identifying potential market trends and managing risk. It combines trend identification, signal generation, and dynamic risk management into a single, customizable indicator.
🔹 Key Features:
• Trend Identification Algorithm: Utilizes a custom 'Algo Sniper' function to filter price data and highlight potential trend direction.
• Entry Signals: Plots non-repainting buy and sell signals on the chart to indicate potential entry points.
• Dynamic Stop-Loss & Take-Profit: Automatically calculates and plots stop-loss and take-profit levels for each signal. It supports both manual (ATR-based) and automatic settings.
• Customizable Info Table: Displays real-time data including current price, entry, stop-loss, take-profit, risk/reward ratio, and trend strength. All colors and parameters in the table are fully adjustable.
• Full Visual Customization: Users can easily change the colors of signals, lines, and table elements to match their charting preferences.
🔹 How it Works:
The indicator calculates a smoothed price range and applies a filter to reduce market noise. When the filtered price direction changes, a signal is generated. Stop-loss levels are calculated based on user-defined risk (ATR) or an automatic pip value. Take-profit levels are also user-defined or can be set to automatic random values.

QFA Volatility MeterQFA Volatility Meter
This is a technical indicator I built to measure market fear and identify potential bottom reversal setups in liquid ETFs and stocks. It combines multiple technical factors into a single scoring system. This is a new indicator with limited real-world testing so treat it as experimental.
What It Actually Does
The indicator calculates a fear index based on how far price has dropped from the highest close over the past 14 bars. It then applies zero lag EMA smoothing with a 5-period setting to reduce noise. The fear reading gets adjusted based on ATR percentile rank with the theory being that high volatility drops should register as more significant than low volatility drops.
On top of this base fear calculation, the indicator checks for five additional factors: momentum peaks where fear stops accelerating upward, RSI divergence using a 7-period RSI, support levels that have been tested multiple times in the past 50 bars, volume patterns including spikes and rejection wicks, and point of control using a 30-bar volume profile calculation. Each factor that triggers adds points to a score from 0 to 100.
The histogram bars change color based on whether fear is rising or falling. Red means fear is increasing, green means decreasing. Gold colors appear when the score crosses certain thresholds: bright gold for scores above 40, orange for scores above 30, pale gold for scores above 20. There is a table in the upper right showing the current score, raw fear level, volatility regime, and which components are active.
The Core Problem You Need To Know
This indicator has a fundamental lag issue that I have not yet solved. Because it measures price drops over a 14 bar lookback period, it is calculating what already happened rather than what is happening right now. During fast selloffs you will often see the fear level reading very low like 5 or 10 even though price is clearly crashing in real time. The reading catches up eventually but by then you have missed the entry by 10 to 20 bars.
I attempted to fix this with ATR normalization and faster smoothing but the lookback period remains the main bottleneck. The indicator works better at identifying areas where fear has already peaked and is starting to decline than at catching the exact moment of peak fear. This makes it more useful for confirmation than for timing entries.
What Works
The multi-component scoring system does a decent job of filtering out low quality setups. When you get a high score above 50 or 60 with multiple components firing like divergence plus support plus volume, those tend to be legitimate reversal zones worth paying attention to. The color coding is intuitive and easy to read at a glance. The real-time table helps you understand what is triggering without having to decode the chart.
The volume climax detection catches some extreme bottoms where you see three or more bars of increasing volume combined with panic selling. These can mark capitulation points. The multi-touch support logic does add value by distinguishing between random price levels and actual tested support zones.
The indicator handles changes in volatility reasonably well. During low volatility periods it lowers the threshold so you still get some signals. During high volatility it raises the threshold to filter noise. This dynamic adjustment is better than using a fixed threshold across all market conditions.
What Does Not Work
The lag issue means you will frequently see obvious selloffs where the indicator shows nothing. Fear level of 5 during a 3 percent drop is not useful information. This happens because the lookback window is too long and the smoothing further delays the reading.
The gold signals that are supposed to mark high conviction bottoms often do not trigger when you expect them to. Looking at recent price action you can point to clear bottoms where the indicator stayed gray or showed low scores. This is partly the lag and partly because the scoring system requires multiple components to align which does not always happen at actual bottoms.
The indicator has only been tested on 15 minute QQQ charts during a few weeks of data. I do not know how it performs on other timeframes, other instruments, or during different market regimes like strong trends versus ranges. It may work very differently on individual stocks versus ETFs or on 5 minute versus 1 hour charts.
There is no formal backtest data showing win rate, average gain, maximum drawdown, or any other performance metrics. The scoring thresholds and component weights were set based on visual inspection and intuition rather than systematic optimization. They might be completely wrong.
Real Risks If You Use This
If you trade based on gold signals alone you will get caught in falling knives. The indicator does not know the difference between a normal pullback in an uptrend versus a breakdown that keeps going. You need your own analysis of market structure, key levels, and trend direction.
The lag means you will often be late to entries. By the time a gold signal appears price may have already bounced 1 to 2 percent off the low. This eats into your risk reward ratio. You might be buying near resistance when you think you are buying near support.
False signals happen regularly especially during choppy sideways action. You will see early and building signals that never develop into actual reversals. If you take every signal you will get chopped up.
The indicator can give conflicting information where the histogram shows green bars indicating fear is falling but the score is still low. Or red bars with a high score. This happens because color tracks momentum direction while score tracks absolute conditions. It is confusing in real time.
The volume profile calculations reset every 30 bars so the POC level jumps around. This can cause the POC component to trigger at seemingly random times. The value area high and low have similar issues.
Honest Pros and Cons
Pros: Combines multiple factors instead of relying on one signal. Color coded for quick visual assessment. Shows component breakdown so you understand why score is high or low. Includes volatility regime context. Free and customizable. Works in TradingView.
Cons: Significant lag during fast moves. No proven track record or backtest results. Complex with many moving parts that can conflict. Requires additional analysis to use effectively. Will produce false signals and missed opportunities. Thresholds and weights are arbitrary. Only tested on limited data.
How Someone Might Actually Use This
If you wanted to use this indicator despite its limitations here is a realistic approach. Keep it on your chart as one input among several. When price drops to a logical support level that you have identified independently, check if the indicator is showing elevated fear and building score. If fear level is above 60 and score is above 30 and you like the price action, that adds a bit of confirmation to your setup.
Do not take trades based solely on gold signals. Do not expect it to call exact bottoms. Do not use it in isolation. Think of it like a momentum oscillator that has some additional context baked in. It might help you avoid buying when there is no fear which means no panic to fade. But it will not tell you when to buy with any precision.
You would need to set your stop losses based on price structure not based on the indicator. Manage position size appropriately because this tool does not reduce risk. Keep records of which signals worked and which failed so you can learn its actual behavior rather than what you hope it does.
Settings Guidance
The default threshold of 40 seems reasonable for 15 minute charts in normal volatility. Going lower will increase signals but also increase noise. Going higher will reduce signals and may cause you to miss opportunities. I do not have data to recommend optimal settings.
The smoothing period of 5 is a compromise between responsiveness and stability. Lower numbers like 3 will be jumpier. Higher numbers like 7 will be smoother but slower. Again no data on what works best.
You can disable components if you want simpler scoring. For example if you only care about divergence and support you can turn off volume and POC. This will make scores lower overall but more focused on specific patterns.
Development Status
This indicator was built in a few hours as an experiment. It has not gone through rigorous testing or optimization. There are known issues that need fixing particularly the lag problem. I may continue developing it or I may abandon it. No guarantees on updates or support.
The code is provided as is. If you modify it or break it that is on you. The calculations could have bugs I have not found. The logic might be flawed in ways I have not realized.
Bottom Line
This is an experimental multi-factor fear indicator with significant limitations including lag, untested performance, and complexity. It might provide some useful context when combined with solid price action analysis and risk management. It will not make you money by itself. It will produce false signals and miss real opportunities. Use it as supplementary information at best and do not rely on it for trading decisions without your own analysis. If you use it, track results carefully and be skeptical of what it tells you until you have proven to yourself that it adds value to your process.

This indicator is directly inspired from the Zombie9Trail by Frosty (creator of the Zombie Pack and TickHunter for NinjaTrader).
When all filters are turned off, Tripwire replicates the core behavior of Zombie9Trail — delivering the same razor-sharp trailing logic.
Most of Frosty's testing has been done from the 1 minute time frame, while I have personally found for my style of trading the 5 minute time frame works better for me.
WHAT THIS VERSION ADDS — TradingView Enhancements
• Optional multi-layer trend filters (21, 34, 170 EMA) to separate high-probability pullbacks from actual trend changes
• Clean Buy/Sell/Pullback signal labels with alert conditions
• Real-time dashboard showing current trail value, trend state, and filter status
• Fully customizable ATR length, multiplier, source, and visual styling
• All values exported as plots — perfect for CSV download and strategy development
HOW TO USE
Filters ON (recommended for trend-following) → Take signals in the direction of the higher-timeframe trend. Great for staying in strong moves and avoiding fake outs.
Filters OFF (pure Zombie9Trail mode) → Possibly catch early reversals and ride new trends
CREDIT & RESPECT
Core trailing methodology and original genius: Frosty — creator of Zombie9Trail / Zombie Pack / TickHunter (NinjaTrader).
This TradingView adaptation was built in direct homage to his NinjaTrader work and with his encouragement. Everything beyond the base trailing logic (filters, dashboard, alerts, exportable plots, visual polish) is original.

CTA Flow Replicator [Institutional Speeds]Decoding the Black Box: Commodity Trading Advisors (CTAs) control hundreds of billions of dollars in systematic capital. Their buying and selling are not based on news or fundamentals, but on trend signals. This guide allows you to replicate those signals. By monitoring three specific 'Trend Speeds' (20, 50, and 120-day averages) and key volatility filters, you can visualize exactly where institutional algorithms are likely to buy the dip or force a sell-off.
This script automatically plots the "Three Speeds" (20, 50, 120), color-codes the background based on the "Zone" you are in (Max Long vs. Danger), and flags High Volatility regimes using VIX data.
How to Read the Indicator on Your Chart:
Green Line (20 SMA): The "Gas Pedal." If we are above this, CTAs are pressing longs.
Orange Line (50 SMA): The "Brake." If we break this, the selling starts.
Red Line (120 SMA): The "Floor." Watch for bounces here.
Background Colors:
Green Zone: Safe to hold/buy dips.
Yellow Zone: Trimming/Cash. Be careful.
Red Zone: Short/Hedging only.
Grey Zone: High Volatility (VIX > 20). Even if the trend is up, the background turns grey to warn you that "Risk is High" and position sizing should be smaller.
Flux-Tensor Singularity [FTS]Flux-Tensor Singularity - Multi-Factor Market Pressure Indicator
The Flux-Tensor Singularity (FTS) is an advanced multi-factor oscillator that combines volume analysis, momentum tracking, and volatility-weighted normalization to identify critical market inflection points. Unlike traditional single-factor indicators, FTS synthesizes price velocity, volume mass, and volatility context into a unified framework that adapts to changing market regimes.
This indicator identifies extreme market conditions (termed "singularities") where multiple confirming factors converge, then uses a sophisticated scoring system to determine directional bias. It is designed for traders seeking high-probability setups with built-in confluence requirements.
THEORETICAL FOUNDATION
The indicator is built on the premise that market time is not constant - different market conditions contain varying levels of information density. A 1-minute bar during a major news event contains far more actionable information than a 1-minute bar during overnight low-volume trading. Traditional indicators treat all bars equally; FTS does not.
The theoretical framework draws conceptual parallels to physics (purely as a mental model, not literal physics):
Volume as Mass: Large volume represents significant market participation and "weight" behind price moves. Just as massive objects have stronger gravitational effects, high-volume moves carry more significance.
Price Change as Velocity: The rate of price movement through price space represents momentum and directional force.
Volatility as Time Dilation: When volatility is high relative to its historical norm, the "information density" of each bar increases. The indicator weights these periods more heavily, similar to how time dilates near massive objects in physics.
This is a pedagogical metaphor to create a coherent mental model - the underlying mathematics are standard financial calculations combined in a novel way.
MATHEMATICAL FRAMEWORK
The indicator calculates a composite singularity value through four distinct steps:
Step 1: Raw Singularity Calculation
S_raw = (ΔP × V) × γ²
Where:
ΔP = Price Velocity = close - close
V = Volume Mass = log(volume + 1)
γ² = Time Dilation Factor = (ATR_local / ATR_global)²
Volume Transformation: Volume is log-transformed because raw volume can have extreme outliers (10x-100x normal). The logarithm compresses these spikes while preserving their significance. This is standard practice in volume analysis.
Volatility Weighting: The ratio of short-term ATR (5 periods) to long-term ATR (user-defined lookback) is squared to create a volatility amplification factor. When local volatility exceeds global volatility, this ratio increases, amplifying the raw singularity value. This makes the indicator regime-aware.
Step 2: Normalization
The raw singularity values are normalized to a 0-100 scale using a stochastic-style calculation:
S_normalized = ((S_raw - S_min) / (S_max - S_min)) × 100
Where S_min and S_max are the lowest and highest raw singularity values over the lookback period.
Step 3: Epsilon Compression
S_compressed = 50 + ((S_normalized - 50) / ε)
This is the critical innovation that makes the sensitivity control functional. By applying compression AFTER normalization, the epsilon parameter actually affects the final output:
ε < 1.0: Expands range (more signals)
ε = 1.0: No change (default)
ε > 1.0: Compresses toward 50 (fewer, higher-quality signals)
For example, with ε = 2.0, a normalized value of 90 becomes 70, making threshold breaches rarer and more significant.
Step 4: Smoothing
S_final = EMA(S_compressed, smoothing_period)
An exponential moving average removes high-frequency noise while preserving trend.
SIGNAL GENERATION LOGIC
When the tensor crosses above the upper threshold (default 90) or below the lower threshold (default 10), an extreme event is detected. However, the indicator does NOT immediately generate a buy or sell signal. Instead, it analyzes market context through a multi-factor scoring system:
Scoring Components:
Price Structure (+1 point): Current bar bullish/bearish
Momentum (+1 point): Price higher/lower than N bars ago
Trend Context (+2 points): Fast EMA above/below slow EMA (weighted heavier)
Acceleration (+1 point): Rate of change increasing/decreasing
Volume Multiplier (×1.5): If volume > average, multiply score
The highest score (bullish vs bearish) determines signal direction. This prevents the common indicator failure mode of "overbought can stay overbought" by requiring directional confirmation.
Signal Conditions:
A BUY signal requires:
Extreme event detection (tensor crosses threshold)
Bullish score > Bearish score
Price confirmation: Bullish candle (optional, user-controlled)
Volume confirmation: Volume > average (optional, user-controlled)
Momentum confirmation: Positive momentum (optional, user-controlled)
A SELL signal requires the inverse conditions.
INPUTS EXPLAINED - Core Parameters:
Global Horizon (Context): Default 20. Lookback period for normalization and volatility comparison. Higher values = smoother but less responsive. Lower values = more signals but potentially more noise.
Tensor Smoothing: Default 3. EMA period applied to final output. Removes "quantum foam" (high-frequency noise). Range 1-20.
Singularity Threshold: Default 90. Values above this (or below 100-threshold) trigger extreme event detection. Higher = rarer, stronger signals.
Signal Sensitivity (Epsilon): Default 1.0. Post-normalization compression factor. This is the key innovation - it actually works because it's applied AFTER normalization. Range 0.1-5.0.
Signal Interpreter Toggles:
Require Price Confirmation: Default ON. Only generates buy signals on bullish candles, sell signals on bearish candles. Reduces false signals but may delay entry.
Require Volume Confirmation: Default ON. Only signals when volume > average. Critical for stocks/crypto, less important for forex (unreliable volume data).
Use Momentum Filter: Default ON. Requires momentum agreement with signal direction. Prevents counter-trend signals.
Momentum Lookback: Default 5. Number of bars for momentum calculation. Shorter = more responsive, longer = trend-following bias.
Visual Controls:
Colors: Customizable colors for bullish flux, bearish flux, background, and event horizon.
Visual Transparency: Default 85. Master control for all visual elements (accretion disk, field lines, particles, etc.). Range 50-99. Signals and dashboard have separate controls.
Visibility Toggles: Individual on/off switches for:
Gravitational field lines (trend EMAs)
Field reversals (trend crossovers)
Accretion disk (background gradient)
Singularity diamonds (neutral extreme events)
Energy particles (volume bursts)
Event horizon flash (extreme event background)
Signal background flash
Signal Size: Tiny/Small/Normal triangle size
Signal Offsets: Separate controls for buy and sell signal vertical positioning (percentage of price)
Dashboard Settings:
Show Dashboard: Toggle on/off
Position: 9 placement options (all corners, centers, middles)
Text Size: Tiny/Small/Normal/Large
Background Transparency: 0-50, separate from visual transparency
VISUAL ELEMENTS EXPLAINED
1. Accretion Disk (Background Gradient):
A three-layer gradient background that intensifies as the tensor approaches extremes. The outer disk appears at any non-neutral reading, the inner disk activates above 70 or below 30, and the core layer appears above 85 or below 15. Color indicates direction (cyan = bullish, red = bearish). This provides instant visual feedback on market pressure intensity.
2. Gravitational Field Lines (EMAs):
Two trend-following EMAs (10 and 30 period) visualized as colored lines. These represent the "curvature" of market trend - when they diverge, trend is strong; when they converge, trend is weakening. Crossovers mark potential trend reversals.
3. Field Reversals (Circles):
Small circles appear when the fast EMA crosses the slow EMA, indicating a potential trend change. These are distinct from extreme events and appear at normal market structure shifts.
4. Singularity Diamonds:
Small diamond shapes appear when the tensor reaches extreme levels (>90 or <10) but doesn't meet the full signal criteria. These are "watch" events - extreme pressure exists but directional confirmation is lacking.
5. Energy Particles (Dots):
Tiny dots appear when volume exceeds 2× average, indicating significant participation. Color matches bar direction. These highlight genuine high-conviction moves versus low-volume drifts.
6. Event Horizon Flash:
A golden background flash appears the instant any extreme threshold is breached, before directional analysis. This alerts you to pay attention.
7. Signal Background Flash:
When a full buy/sell signal is confirmed, the background flashes cyan (buy) or red (sell). This is your primary alert that all conditions are met.
8. Signal Triangles:
The actual buy (▲) and sell (▼) markers. These only appear when ALL selected confirmation criteria are satisfied. Position is offset from bars to avoid overlap with other indicators.
DASHBOARD METRICS EXPLAINED
The dashboard displays real-time calculated values:
Event Density: Current tensor value (0-100). Above 90 or below 10 = critical. Icon changes: 🔥 (extreme high), ❄️ (extreme low), ○ (neutral).
Time Dilation (γ): Current volatility ratio squared. Values >2.0 indicate extreme volatility environments. >1.5 = elevated, >1.0 = above average. Icon: ⚡ (extreme), ⚠ (elevated), ○ (normal).
Mass (Vol): Log-transformed volume value. Compared to volume ratio (current/average). Icon: ● (>2× avg), ◐ (>1× avg), ○ (below avg).
Velocity (ΔP): Raw price change. Direction arrow indicates momentum direction. Shows the actual price delta value.
Bullish Flux: Current bullish context score. Displayed as both a bar chart (visual) and numeric value. Brighter when bullish score dominates.
Bearish Flux: Current bearish context score. Same visualization as bullish flux. These scores compete - the winner determines signal direction.
Field: Trend direction based on EMA relationship. "Repulsive" (uptrend), "Attractive" (downtrend), "Neutral" (ranging). Icon: ⬆⬇↔
State: Current market condition:
🚀 EJECTION: Buy signal active
💥 COLLAPSE: Sell signal active
⚠ CRITICAL: Extreme event, no directional confirmation
● STABLE: Normal market conditions
HOW TO USE THE INDICATOR
1. Wait for Extreme Events:
The indicator is designed to be selective. Don't trade every fluctuation - wait for tensor to reach >90 or <10. This alone is not a signal.
2. Check Context Scores:
Look at the Bullish Flux vs Bearish Flux in the dashboard. If scores are close (within 1-2 points), the market is indecisive - skip the trade.
3. Confirm with Signals:
Only act when a full triangle signal appears (▲ or ▼). This means ALL your selected confirmation criteria have been met.
4. Use with Price Structure:
Combine with support/resistance levels. A buy signal AT support is higher probability than a buy signal in the middle of nowhere.
5. Respect the Dashboard State:
When State shows "CRITICAL" (⚠), it means extreme pressure exists but direction is unclear. These are the most dangerous moments - wait for resolution.
6. Volume Matters:
Energy particles (dots) and the Mass metric tell you if institutions are participating. Signals without volume confirmation are lower probability.

Volume data is unreliable (spot forex has no centralized volume)
Disable "Require Volume Confirmation"
Focus on momentum and trend filters
News events create extreme singularities
Best on 15m-1h timeframes
Stocks (High-Volume Equities):
Volume confirmation is CRITICAL - keep it ON
Works excellently on AAPL, TSLA, SPY, etc.
Morning session (9:30-11:00 ET) shows highest event density
Earnings announcements create guaranteed extreme events
Best on 5m-1h for day trading, 1D for swing trading
Crypto (BTC, ETH, major alts):
Reduce threshold to 85 (crypto has constant high volatility)
Volume spikes are THE primary signal - keep volume confirmation ON
Works exceptionally well due to 24/7 trading and high volatility
Epsilon can be reduced to 0.7-0.8 for more signals
Best on 15m-4h timeframes
Commodities (Gold, Oil, etc.):
Gold responds to macro events (Fed announcements, geopolitical events)
Oil responds to supply shocks
Use daily timeframe minimum
Increase lookback to 50+
These are slow-moving markets - be patient
Indices (SPX, NDX, etc.):
Institutional volume matters - keep volume confirmation ON
Opening hour (9:30-10:30 ET) = highest singularity probability
Strong correlation with VIX - high VIX = more extreme events
Best on 15m-1h for day trading
WHAT MAKES THIS INDICATOR UNIQUE
1. Post-Normalization Sensitivity Control:
Unlike most oscillators where sensitivity controls don't actually work (they're applied before normalization, which then rescales everything), FTS applies epsilon compression AFTER normalization. This means the sensitivity parameter genuinely affects signal frequency. This is a novel implementation not found in standard oscillators.
2. Multi-Factor Confluence Requirement:
The indicator doesn't just detect "overbought" or "oversold" - it detects extreme conditions AND THEN analyzes context through five separate factors (price structure, momentum, trend, acceleration, volume). Most indicators are single-factor; FTS requires confluence.
3. Volatility-Weighted Normalization:
By squaring the ATR ratio (local/global), the indicator adapts to changing market regimes. A 1% move in a low-volatility environment is treated differently than a 1% move in a high-volatility environment. Traditional indicators treat all moves equally regardless of context.
4. Volume Integration at the Core:
Volume isn't an afterthought or optional filter - it's baked into the fundamental equation as "mass." The log transformation handles outliers elegantly while preserving significance. Most price-based indicators completely ignore volume.
5. Adaptive Scoring System:
Rather than fixed buy/sell rules ("RSI >70 = sell"), FTS uses competitive scoring where bullish and bearish evidence compete. The winner determines direction. This solves the classic problem of "overbought markets can stay overbought during strong uptrends."
6. Comprehensive Visual Feedback:
The multi-layer visualization system (accretion disk, field lines, particles, flashes) provides instant intuitive feedback on market state without requiring dashboard reading. You can see pressure building before extreme thresholds are hit.
7. Separate Extreme Detection and Signal Generation:
"Singularity diamonds" show extreme events that don't meet full criteria, while "signal triangles" only appear when ALL conditions are met. This distinction helps traders understand when pressure exists versus when it's actionable.
COMPARISON TO EXISTING INDICATORS
vs. RSI/Stochastic:
These normalize price relative to recent range. FTS normalizes (price change × log volume × volatility ratio) - a composite metric, not just price position.
vs. Chaikin Money Flow:
CMF combines price and volume but lacks volatility context and doesn't use adaptive normalization or post-normalization compression.
vs. Bollinger Bands + Volume:
Bollinger Bands show volatility but don't integrate volume or create a unified oscillator. They're separate components, not synthesized.
vs. MACD:
MACD is pure momentum. FTS combines momentum with volume weighting and volatility context, plus provides a normalized 0-100 scale.
The specific combination of log-volume weighting, squared volatility amplification, post-normalization epsilon compression, and multi-factor directional scoring is unique to this indicator.
LIMITATIONS AND PROPER DISCLOSURE
Not a Holy Grail:
No indicator is perfect. This tool identifies high-probability setups but cannot predict the future. Losses will occur. Use proper risk management.
Requires Confirmation:
Best used in conjunction with price action analysis, support/resistance levels, and higher timeframe trend. Don't trade signals blindly.
Volume Data Dependency:
On forex (spot) and some low-volume instruments, volume data is unreliable or tick-volume only. Disable volume confirmation in these cases.
Lagging Components:
The EMA smoothing and trend filters are inherently lagging. In extremely fast moves, signals may appear after the initial thrust.
Extreme Event Rarity:
With conservative settings (high threshold, high epsilon), signals can be rare. This is by design - quality over quantity. If you need more frequent signals, reduce threshold to 85 and epsilon to 0.7.
Not Financial Advice:
This indicator is an analytical tool. All trading decisions and their consequences are solely your responsibility. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
BEST PRACTICES
Don't trade every singularity - wait for context confirmation
Higher timeframes = higher reliability
Combine with support/resistance for entry refinement
Volume confirmation is CRITICAL for stocks/crypto (toggle off only for forex)
During major news events, singularities are inevitable but direction may be uncertain - use wider stops
When bullish and bearish flux scores are close, skip the trade
Test settings on your specific instrument/timeframe before live trading
Use the dashboard actively - it contains critical diagnostic information

Uptrick: Dynamic Z-Score DivergenceIntroduction
Uptrick: Dynamic Z-Score Divergence is an oscillator that combines multiple momentum sources within a Z-Score framework, allowing for the detection of statistically significant mean-reversion setups, directional shifts, and divergence signals. It integrates a multi-source normalized oscillator, a slope-based signal engine, structured divergence logic, a slope-adaptive EMA with dynamic bands, and a modular bar coloring system. This script is designed to help traders identify statistically stretched conditions, evolving trend dynamics, and classical divergence behavior using a unified statistical approach.
Overview
At its core, this script calculates the Z-Score of three momentum sources—RSI, Stochastic RSI, and MACD—using a user-defined lookback period. These are averaged and smoothed to form the main oscillator line. This normalized oscillator reflects how far short-term momentum deviates from its mean, highlighting statistically extreme areas.
Signals are triggered when the oscillator reverses slope within defined inner zones, indicating a shift in direction while the signal remains in a statistically stretched state. These mean-reversion flips (referred to as TP signals) help identify turning points when price momentum begins to revert from extended zones.
In addition, the script includes a divergence detection engine that compares oscillator pivot points with price pivot points. It confirms regular bullish and bearish divergence by validating spacing between pivots and visualizes both the oscillator-side and chart-side divergences clearly.
A dynamic trend overlay system is included using a Slope Adaptive EMA (SA-EMA). This trend line becomes more responsive when Z-Score deviation increases, allowing the trend line to adapt to market conditions. It is paired with ATR-based bands that are slope-sensitive and selectively visible—offering context for dynamic support and resistance.
The script includes configurable bar coloring logic, allowing users to color candles based on oscillator slope, last confirmed divergence, or the most recent signal of any type. A full alert system is also built-in for key signals.
Originality
The script is based on the well-known concept of Z-Score valuation, which is a standard statistical method for identifying how far a signal deviates from its mean. This foundation—normalizing momentum values such as RSI or MACD to measure relative strength or weakness—is not unique to this script and is widely used in quantitative analysis.
What makes this implementation original is how it expands the Z-Score foundation into a fully featured, signal-producing system. First, it introduces a multi-source composite oscillator by combining three momentum inputs—RSI, Stochastic RSI, and MACD—into a unified Z-Score stream. Second, it builds on that stream with a directional slope logic that identifies turning points inside statistical zones.
The most distinctive additions are the layered features placed on top of this normalized oscillator:
A structured divergence detection engine that compares oscillator pivots with price pivots to validate regular bullish and bearish divergence using precise spacing and timing filters.
A fully integrated slope-adaptive EMA overlay, where the smoothing dynamically adjusts based on real-time Z-Score movement of RSI, allowing the trend line to become more reactive during high-momentum environments and slower during consolidation.
ATR-based dynamic bands that adapt to slope direction and offer real-time visual zones for support and resistance within trend structures.
These features are not typically found in standard Z-Score indicators and collectively provide a unique approach that bridges statistical normalization, structure detection, and adaptive trend modeling within one script.

RealBody Donchian ChannelsThis is an enhancement of the built-in TradingView Donchian Channel indicator.A technical variation of the standard DC, it utilizes candlestick real body data. Instead of using the absolute high and low (shadows) for extreme value calculation, this indicator derives the channel boundaries from the highest Max(Open, Close) and the lowest Min(Open, Close) within the specified length. This approach filters out noise from wicks/shadows, providing a cleaner look at sustained price ranges defined by buying and selling pressure between the open and close.
Session Ranges Pro+Session Range Zones – Professional Edition
OVERVIEW
Professional visualization of the classic opening-range / Initial Balance concept across Asian, London, and Regular (US) sessions.
Displays the high/low of the user-defined opening window as thick, hierarchical filled zones with optional Fibonacci and standard-deviation extensions plus full alerting.
CONCEPT BACKGROUND
Using the high and low of the first 30–60 minutes of a session as key support/resistance is public-domain knowledge that has been standard in institutional trading for decades (Initial Balance, Opening Range, Session Range, etc.).
On TradingView the same principle was popularized under the name “Defining / DealingRange / DR/IDR” by TheMas7er and others.
IMPLEMENTATION & VALUE ADDED
This indicator follows the established, public-domain range-calculation methodology but has been completely rewritten with the following original enhancements:
• Clean, filled High / Mid / Low zones for instant visual hierarchy
• Intuitive Asian / London / Regular session labelling and fully custom timing
• Comprehensive dynamic & static Fibonacci and 50%/100% standard-deviation extensions
• Alert conditions on every zone, midline, opening level, and extension line
• Modern, modular code architecture using arrays and custom drawing functions
• No repainting, lightweight performance on any intraday timeframe
HOW TO USE
Apply to 1–15 min charts. Select desired sessions and formation period (30 or 60 min typical).
Shaded zones serve as primary support/resistance; extensions provide measured-move targets.
CREDIT & TRANSPARENCY
Core methodology: public domain (Initial Balance / Opening Range / Session Range).
Early TradingView popularization of the DR/IDR naming and feature set: TheMas7er **(with thanks to community contributors like bmsitiaan and trading-guide for refinements)**.
**Utilizes PineCoders' VisibleChart library for optimized chart rendering.**
This script uses the same foundational principle and logical input options but is an independent implementation. All visual presentation, zone system, multi-session handling, extension systems, alerting framework, and underlying code structure are original.

Dresteghamat:Adaptive Multi-TF Decision Engine**Dresteghamat: Adaptive Multi-Timeframe Decision Engine**
This open-source indicator is an algorithmic decision-support system designed to filter market noise by quantifying three core market dimensions: **Regime**, **Direction**, and **Exhaustion**.
**⚠️ Technical Note on Originality:**
This script solves the "Timeframe Irrelevance" problem found in standard dashboards. Instead of using static HTF references, it implements a custom **"Adaptive Context Engine"** (see lines 245-270 in source code). It calculates the user's current `timeframe.multiplier` and dynamically maps the mathematically relevant Higher Timeframes.
* *Innovation:* A 5m chart automatically weights 15m/1H structure, whereas a 1H chart weights 4H/Daily structure. This dynamic logic is proprietary and ensures contextual accuracy.
---
### 🛠️ Logic & Calculation Methodology
The script does not simply overlay indicators. It processes raw market data through a **Weighted Scoring Engine** (lines 275-285) to output a unified market state.
**1. Regime Identification (Volatility Normalized)**
We calculate a custom "Volatility Ratio" to distinguish Trend vs. Range regimes.
* **Logic:** `Range / Smoothed_ATR`.
* **Function:** If Ratio > 2.0, the market is in Expansion (Trend). If < 1.2, it is in Compression (Range). This normalizes volatility across assets (Crypto/Forex/Stocks).
**2. Directional Bias (Composite Metric)**
Direction is calculated via a voting system of three sub-components (lines 80-130):
* **Structural Pivots:** Detects Swing Highs/Lows using a 25-bar lookback to define market structure.
* **Cumulative Body Delta:** Tracks the net buying/selling pressure within candle bodies.
* **Micro-Flow:** A short-term (5-bar) momentum filter to detect immediate order flow shifts.
**3. Exhaustion Model (Risk Management)**
The script prevents late entries by calculating an "Exhaustion Score" (lines 150-200). It aggregates:
* **VRSD (Volatility Regime Shift):** Detects when volatility expands > 2 standard deviations (Mean Reversion risk).
* **Volume Decay (VEFF):** Identifies Divergence where price makes new highs on declining Volume MA.
* **RSI/Impulse Divergence:** Standard momentum divergence logic.
**4. The Decision Output (MODE)**
The dashboard renders a final signal based on a hierarchical algorithm:
* **BUY/SELL ONLY:** Triggered when Current Momentum aligns with the Dynamically Selected HTF Structure AND the Exhaustion Score is low.
* **PULLBACK:** Triggered when HTF Structure is bullish, but Current Momentum is bearish (indicating a corrective phase).
* **HTF EXHAUST:** Overrides signals when the Higher Timeframe metrics hit extreme levels.
* **WAIT:** Default state during Range Regimes or conflicting signals.

Time-Decay Liquidity Zones [BackQuant]Time-Decay Liquidity Zones
A dynamic liquidity map that turns single-bar exhaustion events into fading, color-graded zones, so you can see where trapped traders and unfinished business still matter, and when those areas have finally stopped pulling price.
What this is
This indicator detects unusually strong impulsive moves into wicks, converts them into supply or demand “zones,” then lets those zones decay over time. Each zone carries a strength score that fades bar by bar. Zones that stop attracting or rejecting price are gradually de-emphasized and eventually removed, while the most relevant areas stay bright and obvious.
Instead of static rectangles that live forever, you get a living liquidity map where:
Zones are born from objective criteria: volatility, wick size, and optional volume spikes.
Zones “age” using a configurable decay factor and maximum lifetime.
Zone color and opacity reflect current relative strength on a unified clear → green → red gradient.
Zones freeze when broken, so you can distinguish “active reaction areas” from “historical levels that have already given way”.
Conceptual idea
Large wicks with strong volatility often mark areas where aggressive orders met hidden liquidity and got absorbed. Price may revisit these areas to test leftover interest or to relieve trapped positions. However, not every wick matters for long. As time passes and more bars print, the market “forgets” some areas.
Time-Decay Liquidity Zones turns that idea into a rule-based system:
Find bars that likely reflect strong aggressive flows into liquidity.
Mark a zone around the wick using ATR-based thickness.
Assign a strength score of 1.0 at birth.
Each bar, reduce that score by a decay factor and remove zones that fall below a threshold or live too long.
Color all surviving zones from weak to strong using a single gradient scale and a visual legend.
How events are detected
Detection lives in the Event Detection group. The script combines range, wick size, and optional volume filters into simple rules.
Volatility filter
ATR Length — computes a rolling ATR over your chosen window. This is the volatility baseline.
Min range in ATRs — bar range (High–Low) must exceed this multiple of ATR for an event to be considered. This avoids tiny bars triggering zones.
Wick filters
For each bar, the script splits the candle into body and wicks:
Upper wick = High minus the max(Open, Close).
Lower wick = min(Open, Close) minus Low.
Then it tests:
Upper wick condition — upper wick must be larger than Min wick size in ATRs × ATR.
Lower wick condition — lower wick must be larger than Min wick size in ATRs × ATR.
Only bars with a sufficiently long wick relative to volatility qualify as candidate “liquidity events”.
Volume filter
Optionally, the script requires a volume spike:
Use volume filter — if enabled, volume must exceed a rolling volume SMA by a configurable multiplier.
Volume SMA length — period for the volume average.
Volume spike multiplier — how many times above the SMA current volume needs to be.
This lets you focus only on “heavy” tests of liquidity and ignore quiet bars.
Event types
Putting it together:
Upper event (potential supply / long liquidation, etc.)
Occurs when:
Upper wick is large in ATR terms.
Full bar range is large in ATR terms.
Volume is above the spike threshold (if enabled).
Lower event (potential demand / short liquidation, etc.)
Symmetric conditions using the lower wick.
How zones are constructed
Zone geometry lives in Zone Geometry .
When an event is detected, the script builds a rectangular box that anchors to the wick and extends in the appropriate direction by an ATR-based thickness.
For upper (supply-type) zones
Bottom of the zone = event bar high.
Top of the zone = event bar high + Zone thickness in ATRs × ATR.
The zone initially spans only the event bar on the x-axis, but is extended to the right as new bars appear while the zone is active.
For lower (demand-type) zones
Top of the zone = event bar low.
Bottom of the zone = event bar low − Zone thickness in ATRs × ATR.
Same extension logic: box starts on the event bar and grows rightward while alive.
The result is a band around the wick that scales with volatility. On high-ATR charts, zones are thicker. On calm charts, they are narrower and more precise.
Zone lifecycle, decay, and removal
All lifecycle logic is controlled by the Decay & Lifetime group.
Each zone carries:
Score — a floating-point “importance” measure, starting at 1.0 when created.
Direction — +1 for upper zones, −1 for lower zones.
Birth index — bar index at creation time.
Active flag — whether the zone is still considered unbroken and extendable.
1) Active vs broken
Each confirmed bar, the script checks:
For an upper zone , the zone is counted as “broken” when the close moves above the top of the zone.
For a lower zone , the zone is counted as “broken” when the close moves below the bottom of the zone.
When a zone breaks:
Its right edge is frozen at the previous bar (no further extension).
The zone remains on the chart, but is no longer updated by price interaction. It still decays in score until removal.
This lets you see where a major level was overrun, while naturally fading its influence over time.
2) Time decay
At each confirmed bar:
Score := Score × Score decay per bar .
A decay value close to 1.0 means very slow decay and long-lived zones.
Lower values (closer to 0.9) mean faster forgetting and more current-focused zones.
You are controlling how quickly the market “forgets” past events.
3) Age and score-based removal
Zones are removed when either:
Age in bars exceeds Max bars a zone can live .
This is a hard lifetime cap.
Score falls below Minimum score before removal .
This trims zones that have decayed into irrelevance even if their age is still within bounds.
When a zone is removed, its box is deleted and all associated state is freed to keep performance and visuals clean.
Unified gradient and color logic
Color control lives in Gradient & Color . The indicator uses a single continuous gradient for all zones, above and below price, so you can read strength at a glance without guessing what palette means what.
Base colors
You set:
Mid strength color (green) — used for mid-level strength zones and as the “anchor” in the gradient.
High strength color (red) — used for the strongest zones.
Max opacity — the maximum visual opacity for the solid part of the gradient. Lower values here mean more solid; higher values mean more transparent.
The script then defines three internal points:
Clear end — same as mid color, but with a high alpha (close to transparent).
Mid end — mid color at the strongest allowed opacity.
High end — high color at the strongest allowed opacity.
Strength normalization
Within each update:
The script finds the maximum score among all existing zones.
Each zone’s strength is computed as its score divided by this maximum.
Strength is clamped into .
This means a zone with strength 1.0 is currently the strongest zone on the chart. Other zones are colored relative to that.
Piecewise gradient
Color is assigned in two stages:
For strength between 0.0 and 0.5: interpolate from “clear” green to solid green.
Weak zones are barely visible, mid-strength zones appear as solid green.
For strength between 0.5 and 1.0: interpolate from solid green to solid red.
The strongest zones shift toward the red anchor, clearly separating them from everything else.
Strength scale legend
To make the gradient readable, the indicator draws a vertical legend on the right side of the chart:
About 15 cells from top (Strong) to bottom (Weak).
Each cell uses the same gradient function as the zones themselves.
Top cell is labeled “Strong”; bottom cell is labeled “Weak”.
This legend acts as a fixed reference so you can instantly map a zone’s color to its approximate strength rank.
What it plots
At a glance, the indicator produces:
Upper liquidity zones above price, built from large upper wick events.
Lower liquidity zones below price, built from large lower wick events.
All zones colored by relative strength using the same gradient.
Zones that freeze when price breaks them, then fade out via decay and removal.
A strength scale legend on the right to interpret the gradient.
There are no extra lines, labels, or clutter. The focus is the evolving structure of liquidity zones and their visual strength.
How to read the zones
Bright red / bright green zones
These are your current “major” liquidity areas. They have high scores relative to other zones and have not yet decayed. Expect meaningful reactions, absorption attempts, or spillover moves when price interacts with them.
Faded zones
Pale, nearly transparent zones are either old, decayed, or minor. They can still matter, but priority is lower. If these are in the middle of a long consolidation, they often become background noise.
Broken but still visible zones
Zones whose extension has stopped have been overrun by closing price. They show where a key level gave way. You can use them as context for regime shifts or failed attempts.
Absence of zones
A chart with few or no zones means that, under your current thresholds, there have not been strong enough liquidity events recently. Either tighten the filters or accept that recent price action has been relatively balanced.
Use cases
1) Intraday liquidity hunting
Run the indicator on lower timeframes (e.g., 1–15 minute) with moderately fast decay.
Use the upper zones as potential sell reaction areas, the lower zones as potential buy reaction areas.
Combine with order flow, CVD, or footprint tools to see whether price is absorbing or rejecting at each zone.
2) Swing trading context
Increase ATR length and range/wick multipliers to focus only on major spikes.
Set slower decay and higher max lifetime so zones persist across multiple sessions.
Use these zones as swing inflection areas for larger setups, for example anticipating re-tests after breakouts.
3) Stop placement and invalidation
For longs, place invalidation beyond a decaying lower zone rather than in the middle of noise.
For shorts, place invalidation beyond strong upper zones.
If price closes through a strong zone and it freezes, treat that as additional evidence your prior bias may be wrong.
4) Identifying trapped flows
Upper zones formed after violent spikes up that quickly fail can mark trapped longs.
Lower zones formed after violent spikes down that quickly reverse can mark trapped shorts.
Watching how price behaves on the next touch of those zones can hint at whether those participants are being rescued or squeezed.
Settings overview
Event Detection
Use volume filter — enable or disable the volume spike requirement.
Volume SMA length — rolling window for average volume.
Volume spike multiplier — how aggressive the volume spike filter is.
ATR length — period for ATR, used in all size comparisons.
Min wick size in ATRs — minimum wick size threshold.
Min range in ATRs — minimum bar range threshold.
Zone Geometry
Zone thickness in ATRs — vertical size of each liquidity zone, scaled by ATR.
Decay & Lifetime
Score decay per bar — multiplicative decay factor for each zone score per bar.
Max bars a zone can live — hard cap on lifetime.
Minimum score before removal — score cut-off at which zones are deleted.
Gradient & Color
Mid strength color (green) — base color for mid-level zones and the lower half of the gradient.
High strength color (red) — target color for the strongest zones.
Max opacity — controls the most solid end of the gradient (0 = fully solid, 100 = fully invisible).
Tuning guidance
Fast, session-only liquidity
Shorter ATR length (e.g., 20–50).
Higher wick and range multipliers to focus only on extreme events.
Decay per bar closer to 0.95–0.98 and moderate max lifetime.
Volume filter enabled with a decent multiplier (e.g., 1.5–2.0).
Slow, structural zones
Longer ATR length (e.g., 100+).
Moderate wick and range thresholds.
Decay per bar very close to 1.0 for slow fading.
Higher max lifetime and slightly higher min score threshold so only very weak zones disappear.
Noisy, high-volatility instruments
Increase wick and range ATR multipliers to avoid over-triggering.
Consider enabling the volume filter with stronger settings.
Keep decay moderate to avoid the chart getting overloaded with old zones.
Notes
This is a structural and contextual tool, not a complete trading system. It does not account for transaction costs, execution slippage, or your specific strategy rules. Use it to:
Highlight where liquidity has recently been tested hard.
Rank these areas by decaying strength.
Guide your attention when layering in separate entry signals, risk management, and higher-timeframe context.
Time-Decay Liquidity Zones is designed to keep your chart focused on where the market has most recently “cared” about price, and to gradually forget what no longer matters. Adjust the detection, geometry, decay, and gradient to fit your product and timeframe, and let the zones show you which parts of the tape still have unfinished business.

NeuraEdge ORB Professional Opening Range Breakout Indicator-15m🚀 NeuraEdge ORB - Professional Opening Range Breakout Indicator
We're excited to release this clean, effective Opening Range Breakout (ORB) indicator for the trading community. The 15-minute ORB is one of the most time-tested intraday strategies, and we've built this tool to make it simple and actionable.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📖 WHAT IS THE 15-MINUTE ORB STRATEGY?
The Opening Range Breakout strategy captures the initial price range established in the first 15 minutes of market open (9:30-9:45 AM ET). This range often sets the tone for the trading day, as institutional order flow and overnight gap reactions play out during this window.
The concept is simple:
- Mark the HIGH and LOW of the first 15 minutes
- Trade the breakout when price breaks above or below this range
- Use the opposite side of the range as your stop loss
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
