INDICATOR MANUALS
Choose an indicator, read what it does, and open the detailed settings only when you need them. Every manual includes defaults, alerts, limitations, and troubleshooting.
Opening gaps and fill progress, confirmed swings, trendlines, channels, pitchforks and chart formations, including harmonic patterns and Wolfe Waves.
Finds fourteen harmonic patterns on confirmed swings, projects patterns completed on up to two higher timeframes onto the working chart, offers timeframe-tagged alert messages for selected pattern-state changes, and gives Pine Screener eight values to read across a watchlist. Free public invite-only with closed source; the original Auto Harmonic Patterns [AFD] remains free and open-source.
Tracks selected-session opening gaps against the preceding usable session’s last observed confirmed close, with retained gap records, confirmed chart fill and milestone times, opening daily ATR, and optional watchlist and gap ladder. Free public invite-only with closed source; access is granted by the author after a private TradingView message.
Marks confirmed swing highs and lows, draws an ATR-scaled zone around each one, and separates initial direction assignment, continuation, and later direction changes on confirmed bars.
Searches confirmed pivot pairs for ascending and descending trendline candidates, rejects lines pierced beyond the configured tolerance, tracks descriptive touches, and retires violated lines. It does not rank lines or forecast reactions.
Detects fifteen classical formations from confirmed pivots — channels, wedges, triangles, rectangles, flags, pennants and four neckline reversals — separates the textbook reading of each name from the closing direction that actually completed it, and draws Entry, Target and Stop levels from your own multiples of the formation’s height — geometric levels, not trade recommendations.
Maps twelve harmonic formations from confirmed swings, their Potential Reversal Zones and prior trend context. Qualifying Setups carry configured Entry, Target and Stop references — geometric levels, not trade recommendations, while the table separates formation status from later level touches.
Builds parallel channels from three confirmed swing pivots, checks every bar between the anchors against the boundaries, and draws a channel only after a bar closes inside it. A Known marker states the acceptance bar. Free and open-source on TradingView under MPL-2.0.
Builds pitchforks from three confirmed alternating swing pivots, in Standard, Schiff or Modified Schiff construction, and follows each one until it ends. Draws the median line, the upper and lower parallels, the dotted warning lines and an optional Entry, Stop and target set — either a frozen ladder measured from the Entry-to-Stop distance or the instrument’s ATR, or the fork’s own lines. These are geometric levels, not trade recommendations. Free and open-source on TradingView under MPL-2.0.
Finds bullish and bearish Wolfe Waves on confirmed swing pivots and draws each one: the 1-2-3-4-5 zigzag, the 1–3 and 2–4 lines, the wedge between them and the dotted 1–4 line. When a close comes back inside the 1–3 line, it adds an Entry, a Stop beyond point 5 and T1–T3 at multiples of R that you set, and records each level a later bar trades to; these are geometric levels, not trade recommendations. An optional longer-swing layer uses a larger pivot strength on the same timeframe, and reached tiers can be cleared or kept with their marks. Free and open-source on TradingView under MPL-2.0.
Session timing, opening behavior, day-over-day opening ranges and realized session range.
Sets the latest session’s opening range beside the previous session’s, on one price scale to the right of the last bar: each range’s high and low, volume by price (estimated by uniform allocation over each 1-minute range) and estimated delta (1-minute candle direction), with a read table in a chart corner. Describes chart history only. Free public invite-only with closed source; access is granted by the author after a private TradingView message or a Discord request.
Tracks the full lifecycle of up to five opening-range windows—forming, locked, breakout, retest, extension—alongside 17 optional overnight, prior-session, and higher-timeframe reference levels.
Measures the live session’s realized range against a selected ADR, ATR RMA, or median completed-session range, with an uncapped percentage, conditional envelope, percentile ladder, sample disclosure, and no signal or expected-move claim.
Maps Sydney, Tokyo, London, New York, and one custom session with city-based time zones, run-bounded high-low boxes, a separate overlap box, local clocks, progress, next-boundary countdowns, and chart-timeframe bars remaining.
Draws up to three measured boxes per session cycle — the balance range, the sweep beyond one of its boundaries, and the stretch after price closes back inside — each on a confirmed bar and only where the rules qualify one. A sweep must arrive within 90 minutes and a reclaim within 30, or the cycle is named as timed out rather than rounded to a side, and the same read runs on daily to quarterly bars as a ribbon along the bottom of the pane.
How the last candle was built: the order its high and low printed in, minute by minute, beside recent higher time frame candles.
Opens the last closed candle into its 1-minute and 5-minute candles, with recent 30m, 1h and 2h candles beside it. Cyan and magenta outlines mark the first 1-minute bars that reached the high and the low; amber marks a minute holding both, where the order is unknown. Describes chart history only. Free and open-source on TradingView.
Estimated volume nodes, volume-weighted averages and deviation bands.
Plots up to three independently anchored VWAP layers with configurable deviation bands, optional shading between nearby anchored averages, line labels, and confirmed realtime-bar cross alerts.
Maps today’s Daily OHLCV volume-by-price estimate, with optional completed Weekly and Monthly composites, as HVN shelves, LVN valleys and POC prices, plus optional same-type shared prices, zone fills and retained zones. Free to use on TradingView with protected source.
Fair-value gaps and supply/demand base-and-departure zones.
Maps confirmed fair-value gaps, optional order blocks, and the price overlap created by two selected higher timeframes, with provenance labels that record where every band came from.
Identifies supply and demand zones by measuring how tightly price consolidated before breaking away, then grades each zone’s construction quality from that ratio and expresses the grade through glow and fill intensity instead of a label.
Realized-volatility conditions and historical regime episodes.
Classifies the chart symbol’s realized volatility with a 0–100 historical percentile, a four-tier regime, short-versus-long expansion, and acceleration context. Four estimators are available; the output describes volatility, not direction.
Sorts every bar into one of four volatility regimes — QUIET, NORMAL, ELEVATED, EXTREME — and draws each unbroken stretch as a colored box on price, ranked as a percentile over a rolling calendar window so a regime means the same span of history on any timeframe. Optional higher-timeframe frames and a dashboard add context; it describes chart history and states no forecast.
Retracement levels and fans measured from defined ranges or confirmed swings.
Draws a chart-timeframe Fibonacci grid from a selected developing or confirmed range, with an optional higher-timeframe layer, gradient themes, configurable fills, glow, extensions, and labels.
Anchors up to four Fibonacci speed fans to confirmed, displacement- and efficiency-qualified swing legs, projects each fan through a Lifecycle or Infinite ray mode, and reports the current fan’s confirmed-bar interaction state — including an independent Golden Pocket zone — on a fixed status board.
Formula-based pivot levels, zones and records of their tests.
Coordinates three independently configurable pivot packs across nine selectable methods and six anchors, with a Simple chart preset, plain-language Read, CPR, reaction zones, cross-pack confluence, retained levels, and confirmed-bar alerts.
Draws one completed-period pivot ladder and CPR, then records each level’s confirmed tests and held-versus-broke split for the current anchor period. Counts appear on the level labels and in a compact scoreboard; the location read remains secondary.
Moving-average order, slope and spacing on the chart timeframe.
Turns up to three independently configured chart-timeframe moving averages into a descriptive ribbon. Adaptive mode uses ATR-normalized spacing, slope coherence, and stack order to distinguish expansion, stable flow, compression, and mixed structure through color and opacity.
Correlation and related measurements across matched market observations.
Compares the chart symbol with up to eight instruments using timestamp-matched log returns. It separates long and short correlation, beta, spread displacement, pair history, and data coverage without turning those measurements into signals.
