Part 2 — Bottom Indicator: TudasDownCombined.mq5
2.1 Money Flow
Price is rising, but money is actually leaving the asset — you can't see this in the candles, and the move dies right after you enter, because there's no real buyer behind it. Money Flow shows the intensity of capital entering and leaving the asset, before this shows up in price, not after. The line is smoothed through a cascade of EMAs to strip out small-player noise and show the direction the big players are setting.
- Flow rising — money coming in — bullish signal.
- Flow falling — money leaving — bearish signal.
- Green zone (near 100%) — market top. Red zone (near 0%) — market bottom.
- Single label in the corner: Flow: NN% .
2.1 Money Flow

- Flow rising — money coming in — bullish signal.
- Flow falling — money leaving — bearish signal.
- Green zone (near 100%) — market top. Red zone (near 0%) — market bottom.
- Single label in the corner: Flow: NN% .
Simple idea: price leaves the red zone (bottom) and flow starts rising — wait for Buy. Leaving the green zone (top) with flow falling — wait for Sell. Works best with the flow's direction — shorting against a rising flow of big players is risky, that kind of counter-signal is best filtered out.
2.2 Trend Ribbon
2.2 Trend Ribbon
The wave just started, or is it already ending — by eye these two states are almost indistinguishable.
The ribbon is colored by direction: green — rising wave, red — falling wave. A color change at the wave's turn is a possible reversal signal. Advanced idea (three-wave combo): determine the overall trend with Money Flow → confirm with an Impulse turn → enter on the ribbon/analysis-panel signal → results tend to be more precise on higher timeframes.
2.3 Impulse
There's movement on the chart, but no force behind it — the trade reverses right after you enter, because there was no real volume behind the impulse.
Impulse is the fastest, least smoothed layer in the package: the wave changes color by direction (green = bullish mood, red = bearish), wave size = current strength of buyers/sellers, dots at peaks/troughs = turning points.Three uses:
- Entry — in an uptrend, the best entries are green dots on a green wave.
- Averaging in — the same colored dot again, in the same direction — you can add to the position with the trend.
- Taking profit — an opposite-colored dot appears — signal to close the position.
Being the fastest layer, it's not enough on its own — by default it's used as an early warning, with reliability confirmed by Money Flow/the Ribbon/the analysis panel. Works best with an already established trend.
2.4 Whales (VSA)
A big player is quietly building a position while retail jumps in right at the peak.
- Pressure (narrow bar + anomalous volume + close at the edge) = absorption/distribution — a phase where a big player is accumulating or unloading a position.
- Impulse trades (wide bar + anomalous volume) = an aggressive trade already opened by a big player.
- The wave doesn't cut off instantly — it holds and decays smoothly, forming a shaped mountain, not an isolated flash.
- Text labels right on the chart: "R↑/R↓" (reversal — absorption at the bottom/distribution at the top) and "I↑/I↓" (impulse — trend continuation) — green for buy, red for sell.
- A readiness dot on the main chart — appears when several consecutive events cluster in the same direction ( Kity_ReadinessPersistEvents , 3 by default) — a signal that the accumulation/distribution phase is about to end.
Simple idea: knowing where a big player opens and closes positions means trading alongside the strongest market participants, not against them.
Advanced idea: identify the market phase from the pressure → confirm the big player's strength with impulse trades and the readiness dot → enter with the trend on the signal.The scale combines 6 oscillators at once (RSI, StochRSI, Stochastic, MFI, CCI, Momentum) into a single compact strip — one unified "sensor" for market overheating, instead of watching six charts at once.
2.5 Overheat Scale
Two typical mistakes: entering after the move already happened, and entering right as the impulse starts fading.
- Green — overbought (buy-side strength). Red — oversold (sell-side strength). Grey — neutral.
- Segment brightness = degree of overheating (how far the move has gone).
- Runs with hysteresis (doesn't switch off instantly at the smallest pullback — there's a separate zone-exit level, so it doesn't flicker every bar).
- Labels on the right update every tick: RSI (62%), etc
"Buy the green" — enter on green overheating, exit as it fades. "Sell the red" — mirror for red. The more of the 6 oscillators that overheat at the same time, the more reliable the signal.
