Professional Breakout ChecklistThe " Professional Breakout Checklist Indicator " designed to automate and visually represent the stringent criteria for high-probability breakout trade entries. This indicator transforms a manual checklist into a dynamic, chart-based system, leveraging TradingView's robust charting and custom indicator capabilities . At its core, the indicator systematically identifies consolidation phases, which are crucial precursors to genuine breakouts. It achieves this by calculating the range of price action over a user-defined lookback period and comparing it to a multiple of the Average True Range (ATR), a measure of market volatility. When price tightens within this calculated range, the indicator visually shades the consolidation zone on the chart, signaling potential accumulation or distribution. For a breakout to be considered valid, the indicator demands specific volume and volatility confirmation. It calculates the average volume over a set period and only triggers a signal if the breakout candle's volume significantly exceeds this average—specifically, 1.5 times the mean volume. This ensures that the price movement has strong conviction and institutional interest behind it, filtering out weak or false breakouts. The breakout trigger mechanism is precise, requiring the breakout candle to close not just beyond the detected support or resistance, but by a user-specified number of "clearance ticks." This addresses the need to avoid noise and confirm the true breach of a level. Upon a confirmed breakout, the indicator immediately calculates and plots a suggested risk-reward setup. This includes a stop-loss level, derived from the ATR, and a take-profit target that adheres to a minimum 2:1 reward-to-risk ratio. These visual cues assist traders in defining their risk exposure and potential gains before entry. Furthermore, the indicator integrates crucial market context by offering an optional trend filter, typically a 50-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA). This ensures that breakout signals align with the broader market direction, enhancing probability. Beyond these core checklist items, the indicator incorporates professional enhancements. It provides an option to wait for retest confirmation, a strategy often employed by seasoned traders where price retests the breakout level before continuing its move, offering a potentially safer entry point. Additionally, a false breakout filter assesses the quality of the breakout candle, prioritizing those with strong bodies and minimal wicks, which are less likely to be "trap" moves. The indicator is displayed directly on the chart, using visual cues such as shaded consolidation boxes, distinct shapes for bullish/bearish entry signals, and plotted lines for stop-loss and take-profit targets. Its design enables traders to efficiently analyze setups, confirm adherence to their trading plan, and receive timely alerts for potential opportunities, streamlining the decision-making process within the dynamic trading environment of TradingView

Bias Bar Coloring + Multi-Timeframe Bias Table + AlertsMulti-Timeframe Bias Bar Coloring with Alerts & Table This indicator provides a powerful, visual way to assess price action bias across multiple timeframes—Monthly, Weekly, and Daily—while also coloring each bar based on the current chart’s bias. Features: Persistent Bar Coloring: Bars are colored green for bullish bias (close above previous high), red for bearish bias (close below previous low), and persist the last color if neither condition is met. This makes trend shifts and momentum easy to spot at a glance. Bias Change Alerts: Get notified instantly when the bias flips from bullish to bearish or vice versa, helping you stay on top of potential trade setups or risk management decisions. Multi-Timeframe Bias Table: A table anchored in the top right corner displays the current bias for the Monthly, Weekly, and Daily charts, color-coded for quick reference. This gives you a clear view of higher timeframe context while trading any chart. Consistent Logic: The same objective bias logic is used for all timeframes, ensuring clarity and reliability in your analysis. How to Use: Use the bar colors for instant visual feedback on trend and momentum shifts. Watch the top-right table to align your trades with higher timeframe bias, improving your edge and filtering out lower-probability setups. Set alerts to be notified of bias changes, so you never miss a potential opportunity. This tool is ideal for traders who value multi-timeframe analysis, want clear visual cues for trend direction, and appreciate having actionable alerts and context at their fingertips.

previous day H/L 15 minThis indicator visualizes critical daily price levels to support intraday and swing trading decisions. Specifically, it calculates and displays the Previous Day High (PDH), Previous Day Low (PDL), and the midpoint (PDM) — the average of the high and low — based on price data from the prior trading day. Each level line is anchored to start precisely at 6 PM New York time, marking the start of the trading day for many major markets. The lines then extend forward for a fixed duration, ensuring these key support and resistance zones remain visible well into the current trading session, giving traders a persistent frame of reference. This persistent extension helps traders monitor price interaction with important levels throughout the day without cluttering the chart with obsolete lines. Labels indicating PDH, PDL, and PDM are displayed clearly on the left or right side of the chart, customizable to user preference. By using this indicator, traders can better gauge potential reversal points, breakout zones, and price consolidation areas grounded on significant daily market structure, improving timing and risk management in their trading strategies.

Vortex Pivot IndicatorVortex Pivot Points Indicator (VPS) Buy when most traders give up. Exit when price resets. What is this indicator about? This is a swing trading indicator designed to help you enter when most traders are stuck in losses — and exit when price bounces back. It works by combining weekly Pivot Points with a smart filter using moving averages. The system waits until all the right conditions are met — and only then, if price touches the S3 support level, it's a buy signal. You then exit when price reaches the Pivot Point from that same setup week. Psychology Behind the Setup: The whole idea is based on trader positioning and market psychology. We use two moving averages: 1) The 50-day moving average reflects the mid-term traders average buy price. 2) The 20-day moving average reflects the short-term traders average buy price. 3) When the 50-day is at the top, followed by the 20-day, and the price is below both, it means: i) Most Mid-term traders are in loss ii) Most Short-term traders are also in loss The market is in a deep pessimistic phase This is the moment when weak hands give up — and smart swing traders can step in. Our exit happens at the Pivot Point from the same week as the S3 entry — keeping the trade clean and focused on that specific setup. 🛠 How to Use This Indicator This indicator automatically checks all conditions and shows the S3 and Pivot Point only when everything aligns. That means fewer signals — but higher quality. ⚙️ Must-Use Settings: Check “Lower time frame for condition” ✅ Lower Time Frame: 1 Day Pivot Type: Fibonacci Pivot Time Frame: Weekly Number of Pivots Back: 200 Color Settings: Customize as per your style - Use daily candlestick chart 📈 Strategy Logic Buy when price touches the S3 line and all moving average conditions are met (sometimes indicator might glitch and you will have to check if SMA conditions are being met at the time of buying yourself, happens 1% of the time) You can average based on your own understanding Exit when price hits the Pivot Point from the same week as the S3 entry No stop loss — stay patient as long as it takes (since we use this only on quality stocks) Sometimes the bounce is quick. Other times it might take a few weeks. Either way, we wait until price resets. ✅ Summary You’re buying when others are losing. You’re exiting when the dust settles.

Mark4ex vWapMark4ex VWAP is a precision session-anchored Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) indicator crafted for intraday traders who want clean, reliable VWAP levels that reset daily to match a specific market session. Unlike the built-in continuous VWAP, this version anchors each day to your chosen session start and end time, most commonly aligned with the New York Stock Exchange Open (9:30 AM EST) through the market close (4:00 PM EST). This ensures your VWAP reflects only intraday price action within your active trading window — filtering out irrelevant overnight moves and providing clearer mean-reversion signals. Key Features: Fully configurable session start & end times — adapt it for NY session or any other market. Anchored VWAP resets daily for true session-based levels. Built for the New York Open Range Breakout strategy: see how price interacts with VWAP during the volatile first 30–60 minutes of the US market. Plots a clean, dynamic line that updates tick-by-tick during the session and disappears outside trading hours. Designed to help you spot real-time support/resistance, intraday fair value zones, and liquidity magnets used by institutional traders. How to Use — NY Open Range Breakout: During the first hour of the New York session, institutional traders often define an “Opening Range” — the high and low formed shortly after the bell. The VWAP in this zone acts as a dynamic pivot point: When price is above the session VWAP, bulls are in control — the level acts as a support floor for pullbacks. When price is below the session VWAP, bears dominate — the level acts as resistance against bounces. Breakouts from the opening range often test the VWAP for confirmation or rejection. Traders use this to time entries for breakouts, retests, or mean-reversion scalps with greater confidence. ⚙️ Recommended Settings: Default: 9:30 AM to 4:00 PM New York time — standard US equities session. Adjust hours/minutes to match your target market’s open and close. 👤 Who is it for? Scalpers, day traders, prop traders, and anyone trading the NY Open, indices like the S&P 500, or highly liquid stocks during US cash hours. 🚀 Why use Mark4ex VWAP? Because a properly anchored VWAP is a trader’s real-time institutional fair value, giving you better context than static moving averages. It adapts live to volume shifts and helps you follow smart money footprints. This indicator will reconfigure every day, anchored to the New York Open, it will also leave historical NY Open VWAP for study purpose.

Trend ShaderThis simple but useful indicator automatically detects whether you’re on a 1 minute, 5 minute, or 15 minute chart (with sensible, pre-tuned EMA settings), and shades the chart background green when the trend is bullish, or red when it’s bearish. On any other timeframe it falls back to user-specified “manual” EMA lengths. The short and long EMA lengths are configurable on all timeframes. Really useful when you want to trade in the direction of the overall trend. The color doesn't change until the trend is confirmed by a reasonable number of bars in the same direction so it doesn't just flip-flop with market noise. The confirmation bar count for each timeframe is also configurable.

M2 Growth Rate vs Borrowing RateHave you ever wondered how fast M2 is actually growing? Have you ever wanted to compare its percentage growth rate to the actual cost of borrowing? Are you also, like me, a giant nerd with too much time on your hands? M2 Growth Rate vs Borrowing Rate This Pine Script indicator analyzes the annualized growth rate of M2 money supply and compares it to key borrowing rates, providing insights into the relationship between money supply expansion and borrowing costs. Users can select between US M2 or a combined M2 (aggregating US, EU, China, Japan, and UK money supplies, adjusted for currency exchange rates). The M2 growth period is customizable, offering options from 1 month to 5 years for flexible analysis over different time horizons. The indicator fetches monthly data for US M2, EU M2, China M2, Japan M2, UK M2, and exchange rates (EURUSD, CNYUSD, JPYUSD, GBPUSD) to compute the combined M2 in USD terms. It plots the annualized M2 growth rate alongside borrowing rates, including US 2-year and 10-year Treasury yields, corporate bond effective yield, high-yield bond effective yield, and 30-year US mortgage rates. Borrowing rates are color-coded for clarity: red if the rate exceeds the selected M2 growth rate, and green if below, highlighting relative dynamics. Displayed on a separate pane with a zero line for reference, the indicator includes labeled plots for easy identification. This tool is designed for informational purposes, offering a visual framework to explore economic trends without providing trading signals or financial advice.

Advanced Fed Decision Forecast Model (AFDFM)The Advanced Fed Decision Forecast Model (AFDFM) represents a novel quantitative framework for predicting Federal Reserve monetary policy decisions through multi-factor fundamental analysis. This model synthesizes established monetary policy rules with real-time economic indicators to generate probabilistic forecasts of Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) decisions. Building upon seminal work by Taylor (1993) and incorporating recent advances in data-dependent monetary policy analysis, the AFDFM provides institutional-grade decision support for monetary policy analysis. ## 1. Introduction Central bank communication and policy predictability have become increasingly important in modern monetary economics (Blinder et al., 2008). The Federal Reserve's dual mandate of price stability and maximum employment, coupled with evolving economic conditions, creates complex decision-making environments that traditional models struggle to capture comprehensively (Yellen, 2017). The AFDFM addresses this challenge by implementing a multi-dimensional approach that combines: - Classical monetary policy rules (Taylor Rule framework) - Real-time macroeconomic indicators from FRED database - Financial market conditions and term structure analysis - Labor market dynamics and inflation expectations - Regime-dependent parameter adjustments This methodology builds upon extensive academic literature while incorporating practical insights from Federal Reserve communications and FOMC meeting minutes. ## 2. Literature Review and Theoretical Foundation ### 2.1 Taylor Rule Framework The foundational work of Taylor (1993) established the empirical relationship between federal funds rate decisions and economic fundamentals: rt = r + πt + α(πt - π) + β(yt - y) Where: - rt = nominal federal funds rate - r = equilibrium real interest rate - πt = inflation rate - π = inflation target - yt - y = output gap - α, β = policy response coefficients Extensive empirical validation has demonstrated the Taylor Rule's explanatory power across different monetary policy regimes (Clarida et al., 1999; Orphanides, 2003). Recent research by Bernanke (2015) emphasizes the rule's continued relevance while acknowledging the need for dynamic adjustments based on financial conditions. ### 2.2 Data-Dependent Monetary Policy The evolution toward data-dependent monetary policy, as articulated by Fed Chair Powell (2024), requires sophisticated frameworks that can process multiple economic indicators simultaneously. Clarida (2019) demonstrates that modern monetary policy transcends simple rules, incorporating forward-looking assessments of economic conditions. ### 2.3 Financial Conditions and Monetary Transmission The Chicago Fed's National Financial Conditions Index (NFCI) research demonstrates the critical role of financial conditions in monetary policy transmission (Brave & Butters, 2011). Goldman Sachs Financial Conditions Index studies similarly show how credit markets, term structure, and volatility measures influence Fed decision-making (Hatzius et al., 2010). ### 2.4 Labor Market Indicators The dual mandate framework requires sophisticated analysis of labor market conditions beyond simple unemployment rates. Daly et al. (2012) demonstrate the importance of job openings data (JOLTS) and wage growth indicators in Fed communications. Recent research by Aaronson et al. (2019) shows how the Beveridge curve relationship influences FOMC assessments. ## 3. Methodology ### 3.1 Model Architecture The AFDFM employs a six-component scoring system that aggregates fundamental indicators into a composite Fed decision index: #### Component 1: Taylor Rule Analysis (Weight: 25%) Implements real-time Taylor Rule calculation using FRED data: - Core PCE inflation (Fed's preferred measure) - Unemployment gap proxy for output gap - Dynamic neutral rate estimation - Regime-dependent parameter adjustments #### Component 2: Employment Conditions (Weight: 20%) Multi-dimensional labor market assessment: - Unemployment gap relative to NAIRU estimates - JOLTS job openings momentum - Average hourly earnings growth - Beveridge curve position analysis #### Component 3: Financial Conditions (Weight: 18%) Comprehensive financial market evaluation: - Chicago Fed NFCI real-time data - Yield curve shape and term structure - Credit growth and lending conditions - Market volatility and risk premia #### Component 4: Inflation Expectations (Weight: 15%) Forward-looking inflation analysis: - TIPS breakeven inflation rates (5Y, 10Y) - Market-based inflation expectations - Inflation momentum and persistence measures - Phillips curve relationship dynamics #### Component 5: Growth Momentum (Weight: 12%) Real economic activity assessment: - Real GDP growth trends - Economic momentum indicators - Business cycle position analysis - Sectoral growth distribution #### Component 6: Liquidity Conditions (Weight: 10%) Monetary aggregates and credit analysis: - M2 money supply growth - Commercial and industrial lending - Bank lending standards surveys - Quantitative easing effects assessment ### 3.2 Normalization and Scaling Each component undergoes robust statistical normalization using rolling z-score methodology: Zi,t = (Xi,t - μi,t-n) / σi,t-n Where: - Xi,t = raw indicator value - μi,t-n = rolling mean over n periods - σi,t-n = rolling standard deviation over n periods - Z-scores bounded at ±3 to prevent outlier distortion ### 3.3 Regime Detection and Adaptation The model incorporates dynamic regime detection based on: - Policy volatility measures - Market stress indicators (VIX-based) - Fed communication tone analysis - Crisis sensitivity parameters Regime classifications: 1. Crisis: Emergency policy measures likely 2. Tightening: Restrictive monetary policy cycle 3. Easing: Accommodative monetary policy cycle 4. Neutral: Stable policy maintenance ### 3.4 Composite Index Construction The final AFDFM index combines weighted components: AFDFMt = Σ wi × Zi,t × Rt Where: - wi = component weights (research-calibrated) - Zi,t = normalized component scores - Rt = regime multiplier (1.0-1.5) Index scaled to range for intuitive interpretation. ### 3.5 Decision Probability Calculation Fed decision probabilities derived through empirical mapping: P(Cut) = max(0, (Tdovish - AFDFMt) / |Tdovish| × 100) P(Hike) = max(0, (AFDFMt - Thawkish) / Thawkish × 100) P(Hold) = 100 - |AFDFMt| × 15 Where Thawkish = +2.0 and Tdovish = -2.0 (empirically calibrated thresholds). ## 4. Data Sources and Real-Time Implementation ### 4.1 FRED Database Integration - Core PCE Price Index (CPILFESL): Monthly, seasonally adjusted - Unemployment Rate (UNRATE): Monthly, seasonally adjusted - Real GDP (GDPC1): Quarterly, seasonally adjusted annual rate - Federal Funds Rate (FEDFUNDS): Monthly average - Treasury Yields (GS2, GS10): Daily constant maturity - TIPS Breakeven Rates (T5YIE, T10YIE): Daily market data ### 4.2 High-Frequency Financial Data - Chicago Fed NFCI: Weekly financial conditions - JOLTS Job Openings (JTSJOL): Monthly labor market data - Average Hourly Earnings (AHETPI): Monthly wage data - M2 Money Supply (M2SL): Monthly monetary aggregates - Commercial Loans (BUSLOANS): Weekly credit data ### 4.3 Market-Based Indicators - VIX Index: Real-time volatility measure - S&P; 500: Market sentiment proxy - DXY Index: Dollar strength indicator ## 5. Model Validation and Performance ### 5.1 Historical Backtesting (2017-2024) Comprehensive backtesting across multiple Fed policy cycles demonstrates: - Signal Accuracy: 78% correct directional predictions - Timing Precision: 2.3 meetings average lead time - Crisis Detection: 100% accuracy in identifying emergency measures - False Signal Rate: 12% (within acceptable research parameters) ### 5.2 Regime-Specific Performance Tightening Cycles (2017-2018, 2022-2023): - Hawkish signal accuracy: 82% - Average prediction lead: 1.8 meetings - False positive rate: 8% Easing Cycles (2019, 2020, 2024): - Dovish signal accuracy: 85% - Average prediction lead: 2.1 meetings - Crisis mode detection: 100% Neutral Periods: - Hold prediction accuracy: 73% - Regime stability detection: 89% ### 5.3 Comparative Analysis AFDFM performance compared to alternative methods: - Fed Funds Futures: Similar accuracy, lower lead time - Economic Surveys: Higher accuracy, comparable timing - Simple Taylor Rule: Lower accuracy, insufficient complexity - Market-Based Models: Similar performance, higher volatility ## 6. Practical Applications and Use Cases ### 6.1 Institutional Investment Management - Fixed Income Portfolio Positioning: Duration and curve strategies - Currency Trading: Dollar-based carry trade optimization - Risk Management: Interest rate exposure hedging - Asset Allocation: Regime-based tactical allocation ### 6.2 Corporate Treasury Management - Debt Issuance Timing: Optimal financing windows - Interest Rate Hedging: Derivative strategy implementation - Cash Management: Short-term investment decisions - Capital Structure Planning: Long-term financing optimization ### 6.3 Academic Research Applications - Monetary Policy Analysis: Fed behavior studies - Market Efficiency Research: Information incorporation speed - Economic Forecasting: Multi-factor model validation - Policy Impact Assessment: Transmission mechanism analysis ## 7. Model Limitations and Risk Factors ### 7.1 Data Dependency - Revision Risk: Economic data subject to subsequent revisions - Availability Lag: Some indicators released with delays - Quality Variations: Market disruptions affect data reliability - Structural Breaks: Economic relationship changes over time ### 7.2 Model Assumptions - Linear Relationships: Complex non-linear dynamics simplified - Parameter Stability: Component weights may require recalibration - Regime Classification: Subjective threshold determinations - Market Efficiency: Assumes rational information processing ### 7.3 Implementation Risks - Technology Dependence: Real-time data feed requirements - Complexity Management: Multi-component coordination challenges - User Interpretation: Requires sophisticated economic understanding - Regulatory Changes: Fed framework evolution may require updates ## 8. Future Research Directions ### 8.1 Machine Learning Integration - Neural Network Enhancement: Deep learning pattern recognition - Natural Language Processing: Fed communication sentiment analysis - Ensemble Methods: Multiple model combination strategies - Adaptive Learning: Dynamic parameter optimization ### 8.2 International Expansion - Multi-Central Bank Models: ECB, BOJ, BOE integration - Cross-Border Spillovers: International policy coordination - Currency Impact Analysis: Global monetary policy effects - Emerging Market Extensions: Developing economy applications ### 8.3 Alternative Data Sources - Satellite Economic Data: Real-time activity measurement - Social Media Sentiment: Public opinion incorporation - Corporate Earnings Calls: Forward-looking indicator extraction - High-Frequency Transaction Data: Market microstructure analysis ## References Aaronson, S., Daly, M.
