US Inflation Rate [nb]This is the United States inflation rate, based on the total Consumer Price Index published by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.

A line to display the inflation rate in December. It does not change until the next December.
What the color change to red is indicative of:
According to the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) regarding inflation rate, "2% is a bae number to be around". This does not imply a strict 2% inflation for success and allows room for federal rate cuts should they be needed.
Although FOMC declared 2% to be "bae" in 2012, James Bullard, of federal banking fame, claims that started to become the norm in 1995. Therefore the inflation rate line will only turn red 1995 onwards, and serves as a friendly reminder that inflation has been over at or over 2% for more than one month.

Bitcoin CME Gaps [NeoButane]Simple script that checks for gaps in price from CME. tickerid(x, y, sess) doesn't seem to be applying correctly for the ticker specified at the moment so there are a couple of 'gaps' peppered on lower timeframes.
Gaps are legitimate price levels to look as a support or resistance. The theory is that volume needs to be gap filled, but I currently believe it's an easy entry/exit trade for those who can move the market. I don't think there is sound analysis behind the why, but it is real.
VFAP Bands: Volume Flow Aggregate Price [NeoButane]What VFAP accomplishes is finishing what VWAP started, which is to find the best liquidity for market makers to profit off the bid/ask spread. What price is the best? Of course, nobody would tell you this. Otherwise it would be easy for bigger market participants to hunt or prevent being hunted.
This is where VFAP comes in: by being able to visualize optimal liquidity zones, you will be able to enter/exit positions at the safest entries, front run the market makers, and get stopped out at the coolest prices.
The bands are consistently wicked into and provide insight to minute timeframe movements. The levels are areas of high volume where traders may be trapped or defending their position.

Pictured below are the true basis bands. In a tightening/nonvolatile range, They are able to pre-define the range by having a modified formula and being sooner to update than the traditional VFAP bands.
