short trade best indicators, like supply and demand zones indicators, short finr, EMA 9 and 21 crosses, what are most intelligent ones, I need to create tradingview layout for short trades only

 To build an intelligent, institutional-grade TradingView layout optimized exclusively for short trades, you must avoid redundant indicators and instead layer tools that answer different questions about market structure, momentum, and volume. [1]

For shorting, your goal is to identify where buyers are trapped, where liquidity rests, and when momentum aggressively shifts downward. [1, 2]

Selecting Intelligent "Short-Specific" Indicators
Instead of basic retail tools, look for these open-source community scripts built on TradingView: [1]
1. Location & Structure (Where to short)
  • Smart Money Concepts (SMC) by LuxAlgo or Auto Order Blocks by identityKa: Automatically maps premium Supply Zones, Bearish Order Blocks, and Change of Character (CHoCH). This provides precise areas to hunt for shorts rather than guessing where price will top out. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
  • Session Volume Profile (Visible Range): Look for the Point of Control (POC) and High Volume Nodes (HVN). Shorting a retest of an HVN inside a macro supply zone offers highly reliable structural resistance. [1]
2. Directional Bias & Triggers (When to enter)
  • EMA 9/21 with Target Price [SS] by Steversteves: Instead of a basic moving average cross, this script overlays the 9/21 EMA crossover with an ATR-based calculation. For shorting, you wait for the 9 EMA to cross below the 21 EMA only after price has tapped a higher-timeframe Supply Zone. [1, 2, 3]
  • Anchored VWAP (AVWAP): Anchor this to the highest macro swing peak. If price is trading below the AVWAP, the macro trend is strictly bearish, invalidating any temptation to buy pullbacks. [1, 2]
3. Momentum & Order Flow (How aggressive is the move?)
  • Squeeze Momentum Indicator by LazyBear: Combines Bollinger Bands and Keltner Channels to identify volatility compression. When the black crosses turn back to gray and the momentum histogram shifts from light red to dark red, it signals an explosive downward expansion. [1, 2]
  • Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) - Session & Multi-Day Resets: Highly effective for spotting bearish divergences. If price makes a higher local peak inside a supply zone but the CVD prints a lower peak, it means aggressive buyers are trapped, and institutional distribution is occurring. [1]

Designing Your TradingView "Shorts-Only" Layout
Configure a 2-Chart Split Layout to keep your execution chart clean while maintaining essential macro context.
Chart 1: The Macro Context (Left Side - 1-Hour or 4-Hour Timeframe)
  • Purpose: Identify the major trend and locating high-probability supply pools. [1, 2, 3]
  • Indicators to apply:
    • Smart Money Concepts (SMC): Turn off demand zones; set it to show Bearish Order Blocks and Premium Zones only.
    • Anchored VWAP: Anchored to the most recent major swing high. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
  • Visual Styling: Set the background to dark gray or black. Color your supply zones a subtle, translucent crimson or dark red so they do not clutter your view. [1, 2, 3]
Chart 2: The Execution Engine (Right Side - 5-Minute or 15-Minute Timeframe) [1]
  • Purpose: Timing entries, tracking immediate momentum, and calculating risk. [1, 2]
  • Indicators to apply:
    • EMA 9/21 Crosses: Style the 9 EMA as a bright red line and the 21 EMA as a dark orange line.
    • Squeeze Momentum Indicator or CVD (Pane 2, bottom of the chart).
    • Risk & Position Sizing Calculator by TradingView: Keeps your risk fixed dynamically based on the recent swing high. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]

    Executing the Short Trade Checklist
    To maximize efficiency, execute trades only when all conditions align in sequence: [1]
    [Macro Supply Zone Tapped] 
              │
              ▼
    [Price Rejects and Trades Below Anchored VWAP]
              │
              ▼
    [Lower Timeframe: EMA 9 Crosses Below EMA 21]
              │
              ▼
    [Squeeze Momentum / CVD Confirms Bearish Expansion] ──► ENTER SHORT
    
    1. Locate: On Chart 1, wait for the price to rally into a macro Supply Zone or a Bearish Order Block.
    2. Confirm Bias: Ensure the price action remains below the macro Anchored VWAP.
    3. Trigger: Zoom into Chart 2. Wait for a local shift in market structure (a lower high), immediately followed by the 9 EMA crossing below the 21 EMA.
    4. Validate: Verify that the Squeeze Momentum histogram has turned red, or that the CVD shows aggressive buying failure (trapped longs).
    5. Risk Management: Place your Stop Loss exactly above the recent local swing high or the top of the minor supply zone. Target the next major liquidity pool or demand zone below. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]
