First EMA Touch (Last N Bars)Okay, here's a description of the "First EMA Touch (Last N Bars)" TradingView indicator:
Indicator Name: First EMA Touch (Last N Bars)
Core Purpose:
This indicator is designed to visually highlight on the chart the exact moment when the price (specifically, the high/low range of a price bar) makes contact with a specified Exponential Moving Average (EMA) for the first time within a defined recent lookback period (e.g., the last 20 bars).
How it Works:
EMA Calculation: It first calculates a standard Exponential Moving Average (EMA) based on the user-defined EMA Length and EMA Source (e.g., close price). This EMA line is plotted on the chart, often serving as a dynamic level of potential support or resistance.
"Touch" Detection: For every price bar, the indicator checks if the bar's range (from its low to its high) overlaps with or crosses the calculated EMA value for that bar. If low <= EMA <= high, it's considered a "touch".
"First Touch" Logic: This is the key feature. The indicator looks back over a specified number of preceding bars (defined by the Lookback Period). If a "touch" occurs on the current bar, and no "touch" occurred on any of the bars within that preceding lookback window, then the current touch is marked as the "first touch".
Visual Signal: When a "first touch" condition is met, the indicator plots a distinct shape (by default, a small green triangle) below the corresponding price bar. This makes it easy to spot these specific events.
Key Components & Settings:
EMA Line: The calculated EMA itself is plotted (typically as an orange line) for visual reference.
First Touch Signal: A shape (e.g., green triangle) appears below bars meeting the "first touch" criteria.
EMA Length (Input): Determines the period used for the EMA calculation. Shorter lengths make the EMA more reactive to recent price changes; longer lengths make it smoother and slower.
Lookback Period (Input): Defines how many bars (including the current one) the indicator checks backwards to determine if the current touch is the first one. A lookback of 20 means it checks if there was a touch in the previous 19 bars before signalling the current one as the first.
EMA Source (Input): Specifies which price point (close, open, high, low, hl2, etc.) is used to calculate the EMA.
Interpretation & Potential Uses:
Identifying Re-tests: The signal highlights when price returns to test the EMA after having stayed away from it for the duration of the lookback period. This can be significant as the market re-evaluates the EMA level.
Potential Reversal/Continuation Points: A first touch might indicate:
A potential area where a trend might resume after a pullback (if price bounces off the EMA).
A potential area where a reversal might begin (if price strongly rejects the EMA).
A point of interest if price consolidates around the EMA after the first touch.
Filtering Noise: By focusing only on the first touch within a period, it can help filter out repeated touches that might occur during choppy or consolidating price action around the EMA.
Confluence: Traders might use this signal in conjunction with other forms of analysis (e.g., horizontal support/resistance, trendlines, candlestick patterns, other indicators) to strengthen trade setups.
Limitations:
Lagging: Like all moving averages, the EMA is a lagging indicator.
Not Predictive: The signal indicates a specific past event (the first touch) occurred; it doesn't guarantee a future price movement.
Parameter Dependent: The effectiveness and frequency of signals heavily depend on the chosen EMA Length and Lookback Period. These may need tuning for different assets and timeframes.
Requires Confirmation: It's generally recommended to use this indicator as part of a broader trading strategy and not rely solely on its signals for trade decisions.
In essence, the "First EMA Touch (Last N Bars)" indicator provides a specific, refined signal related to price interaction with a moving average, helping traders focus on potentially significant initial tests of the EMA after a period of separation.

SCE GANN PredictionsThis is a script designed to give an insight on price direction from being above or below a GANN Value.
What Are GANN Waves?
The SCE GANN Predictions indicator is inspired by the work of W.D. Gann, a renowned trader who believed that price movements follow geometric and mathematical patterns. GANN waves use past price behavior—specifically momentum or "velocity"—to forecast where prices might head next.
How Does the Indicator Work?
Calculating Velocity
The script starts by measuring the "velocity" of price movement over a user-defined lookback period (denoted as n). This velocity is the average difference between the close and open prices over n bars. Think of it as the market’s speed in a given direction.
Predicting the Future Price
Using this velocity, the indicator estimates a future price after a specific time horizon—calculated as n + n*2 bars into the future (e.g., if n = 15, it predicts 45 bars ahead). It scales the velocity by a ratio (Gr) to determine the "end price." This is the raw GANN prediction.
Optimizing the Ratio (Gr)
The key to a good prediction is finding the right Gr. The script tests a range of Gr values (from Gr_min to Gr_max, stepping by Gr_step) and evaluates each one by calculating the sum of squared errors (SSE) between the predicted prices and the actual historical close prices. The Gr with the lowest SSE is deemed "optimal" and used for the final prediction.
Smoothing with an SMA
The raw GANN prediction is then smoothed using a simple moving average (SMA) over the lookback period (n). This SMA is plotted on your chart, serving as a dynamic trend line. The plot’s color changes based on the current price: teal if the close is above the SMA (bullish), and red if below (bearish).
Visuals
This example shows how the value explains price strength and changes color. When the price is above the line, and it’s green, we’re showing an up trend. The opposite is when the price is below the line, and it’s red, showing a down trend.
We can see that there may be moments where price drops under the value for just that one bar.
In scenarios with sideways price action, even though the price crosses, there is no follow through. This is a shortcoming of the overall concept.
Customizable Inputs
Timeframe: Choose the timeframe for analysis (default is 2 minutes).
Show GANN Wave: Toggle the GANN SMA plot on or off (default is true).
Lookback Period (Gn): Set the number of bars for velocity and SMA calculations (default is 15).
Min Ratio (Gr_min): The lower bound for the Gr optimization (default is 0.05).
Max Ratio (Gr_max): The upper bound for Gr (default is 0.2).
Step for Gr (Gr_step): The increment for testing Gr values (default is 0.01).
How to Use SCE GANN Predictions
Trend Direction
The colored SMA provides a quick visual cue. Teal suggests an uptrend, while red hints at a downtrend. Use this to align your trades with the broader momentum.
Crossover Signals
Watch for the close price crossing the GANN SMA. A move above could signal a buy opportunity, while a drop below might indicate a sell. Combine this with other indicators for confirmation.
Fine-Tuning
Experiment with the lookback period (Gn) and Gr range to optimize for your market. Shorter lookbacks might suit fast-moving assets, while longer ones could work for slower trends.
Like any technical tool, SCE GANN Predictions isn’t a crystal ball. It’s based on historical data and mathematical assumptions, so it won’t always be spot-on.
Cycle Biologique Strategy // (\_/)

//@fr33domz
Experimental Research: Cycle Biologique Strategy
Overview
The "Cycle Biologique Strategy" is an experimental trading algorithm designed to leverage periodic cycles in price movements by utilizing a sinusoidal function. This strategy aims to identify potential buy and sell signals based on the behavior of a custom-defined biological cycle.
Key Parameters
Cycle Length: This parameter defines the duration of the cycle, set by default to 30 periods. The user can adjust this value to optimize the strategy for different asset classes or market conditions.
Amplitude: The amplitude of the cycle influences the scale of the sinusoidal wave, allowing for customization in the sensitivity of buy and sell signals.
Offset: The offset parameter introduces phase shifts to the cycle, adjustable within a range of -360 to 360 degrees. This flexibility allows the strategy to align with various market rhythms.
Methodology
The core of the strategy lies in the calculation of a periodic cycle using a sinusoidal function.
Trading Signals
Buy Signal: A buy signal is generated when the cycle value crosses above zero, indicating a potential upward momentum.
Sell Signal: Conversely, a sell signal is triggered when the cycle value crosses below zero, suggesting a potential downtrend.
Execution
The strategy executes trades based on these signals:
Upon receiving a buy signal, the algorithm enters a long position.
When a sell signal occurs, the strategy closes the long position.
Visualization
To enhance user experience, the periodic cycle is plotted visually on the chart in blue, allowing traders to observe the cyclical nature of the strategy and its alignment with market movements.
Price action plus//The system combines the divergence of A/D and OBV with identifying reversal points using Japanese candlestick patterns, creating an enhanced version of price action. This helps investors more easily and accurately recognize reversal patterns in technical analysis.
Divergence of A/D vs. OBV includes:
Positive divergence: Identifies smart money leaving the market.
Negative divergence: Identifies smart money entering the market.
Reversal candlestick patterns include:
Buy signals: Morning Star, Bullish Engulfing, Hammer.
Strong Buy signals: Buy signals + Negative divergence
Sell signals: Evening Star, Bearish Engulfing, Shooting Star.
Strong Sell signals : Sell signals + Positive divergence
//Hope this system will be helpful for you!

Intraday Volume Indicator for INDICES by TBTPH Pine Script code for an intraday volume indicator with session and lunch break highlights looks great! Here’s a summary of what each part of the script does:
Indicator Settings:
The indicator is set to show on a separate pane (overlay=false).
The SMA Length is adjustable with an input box (default of 20).
Volume and SMA Calculation:
You calculate the Simple Moving Average (SMA) of the volume over the selected length.
The volume color is determined based on whether the close price is higher or lower than the previous close and if the volume is above or below the SMA.
Volume Plot:
Volume is plotted as a histogram with different colors to indicate if the volume is higher or lower than the SMA.
You plot the SMA of the volume with an orange line for easier comparison.
Background Color:
You set a light gray background color to give a subtle contrast.
NYSE and LSE trading sessions are highlighted with green and blue, respectively.
Lunch break periods are highlighted with a white background for both exchanges.
Here are a couple of improvements or suggestions you might consider:
Session Time Overlap Handling:
If the script is applied to a chart where both NYSE and LSE data is visible, they may overlap depending on the time zone of your chart. Ensure the session times align with the active market's timezone, especially if you are using a chart with a different timezone setting.
Color Customization:
The color scheme for bullish/bearish volume could be enhanced further. For example, you could introduce more transparency for low-volume periods to make the histogram appear more subtle during less active trading times.
Handling Different Time Zones:
If your chart is not in the "America/New_York" or "GMT" time zone, be mindful of the session times. The timestamp function depends on the chart’s time zone, so ensuring you're adjusting for different markets is key.
ICT Order Blocks v2 (Debug)Josh has a very large PP xD
Understanding Order Blocks (OBs) - The ICT Perspective
This document delves into the concept of Order Blocks (OBs) from the perspective of the ICT methodology. It outlines what OBs are, their significance in trading, and how the "ICT Order Blocks v2 (Refined)" indicator functions to identify and visualize these critical price levels. By understanding OBs, traders can better navigate market movements and make informed decisions based on institutional trading behavior.
What is an Order Block (OB)?
Within ICT methodology, an Order Block represents a specific price candle where significant buying or selling interest from institutions (Smart Money) is believed to have occurred. They are potential areas where price might return and react.
Bullish Order Block: Typically the last down-closing candle before a strong, impulsive upward move (displacement). It suggests institutions may have absorbed selling pressure and initiated long positions here.
Bearish Order Block: Typically the last up-closing candle before a strong, impulsive downward move (displacement). It suggests institutions may have distributed long positions or initiated short positions here.
Why are OBs Significant (ICT View)?
Institutional Footprint: They mark potential zones of large order execution.
Support/Resistance: Unmitigated OBs can act as sensitive price levels where reactions are expected. Bullish OBs may provide support; Bearish OBs may provide resistance.
Origin of Moves: They often mark the origin point of significant price swings.
Liquidity Engineering: Institutions might drive price back to OBs to mitigate earlier positions or to engineer liquidity before continuing a move.
Common Refinements
ICT often emphasizes higher probability OBs that are associated with:
Displacement: The move away from the OB is sharp and decisive.
Fair Value Gaps (FVGs): An FVG forming immediately after the OB strengthens its validity.
OB Mitigation: This refers to price returning to the level of the Order Block after its formation. Price might react at the edge (proximal line) or the 50% level (mean threshold) of the OB. An OB is often considered fully mitigated or invalidated if price trades decisively through its entire range, especially with a candle body closing beyond it.
How the "ICT Order Blocks v2 (Refined)" Indicator Works
This indicator automates the detection and visualization of the most recent unmitigated Order Block of each type (Bullish/Bearish), incorporating optional filters.
Detection:
It looks at the relationship between the candle two bars ago ( ), the previous candle ( ), and potentially the current candle ( ).
Bullish OB: Identifies if candle was a down-close (close < open ) AND candle broke above the high of candle (high > high ).
Bearish OB: Identifies if candle was an up-close (close > open ) AND candle broke below the low of candle (low < low ).
Accuracy Filters (Optional Inputs):
These filters help identify potentially higher-probability OBs:
Require Fair Value Gap (FVG)?: If enabled, the indicator checks if an FVG formed immediately after the OB candle ( ). Specifically, it looks for a gap between candle and candle (low > high for Bullish OB confirmation, high < low for Bearish).
Require Strong Close Breakout?: If enabled, it requires the breakout candle ( ) to close beyond the range of the OB candle ( ). (close > high for Bullish, close < low for Bearish). This suggests stronger confirmation.
Storing the Most Recent OB:
When an OB is detected and passes any enabled filters, its details (high, low, formation bar index) are stored. Crucially, this indicator only tracks the single most recent valid unmitigated OB of each type (one Bullish, one Bearish) using var variables. If a newer valid OB forms, it replaces the previously stored one.
Drawing Boxes:
If a valid Bullish OB is being tracked (and Show Bullish OBs is enabled), it draws a box (box.new) using the high and low of the identified OB candle ( ). The same process applies to Bearish OBs (Show Bearish OBs enabled). The boxes automatically extend to the right (extend.right) and their right edge is updated on each new bar (box.set_right) until they are mitigated. Labels ("Bull OB" / "Bear OB") are displayed inside the boxes.
Mitigation & Box Deletion:
The indicator checks if the current closing price (close ) has moved entirely beyond the range of the tracked OB.
Mitigation Rule Used: A Bullish OB is considered mitigated if close < bull_ob_low. A Bearish OB is considered mitigated if close > bear_ob_high. Once an OB is marked as mitigated, the indicator stops tracking it and its corresponding box is automatically deleted (box.delete) from the chart.
This indicator provides a dynamic visualization of the most recent, potentially significant Order Blocks that meet the specified criteria, helping traders identify key areas of interest based on ICT principles.

RSI3M3+ v.1.8RSI3M3+ v.1.8 Indicator
This script is an advanced trading indicator based on Walter J. Bressert's cycle analysis methodology, combined with an RSI (Relative Strength Index) variation. Let me break it down and explain how it works.
Core Concepts
The RSI3M3+ indicator combines:
A short-term RSI (3-period)
A 3-period moving average to smooth the RSI
Bressert's cycle analysis principles to identify optimal trading points
RSI3M3+ Indicator VisualizationImage Walter J. Bressert's Cycle Analysis Concepts
Walter Bressert was a pioneer in cycle analysis trading who believed markets move in cyclical patterns that can be measured and predicted. His key principles integrated into this indicator include:
Trading Cycles: Markets move in cycles with measurable time spans from low to low
Timing Bands: Projected periods when the next cyclical low or high is anticipated
Oscillator Use: Using oscillators like RSI to confirm cycle position
Entry/Exit Rules: Specific rules for trade entry and exit based on cycle position
Key Parameters in the Script
Basic RSI Parameters
Required bars: Minimum number of bars needed (default: 20)
Overbought region: RSI level considered overbought (default: 70)
Oversold region: RSI level considered oversold (default: 30)
Bressert-Specific Parameters
Cycle Detection Length: Lookback period for cycle identification (default: 30)
Minimum/Maximum Cycle Length: Expected cycle duration in days (default: 15-30)
Buy Line: Lower threshold for buy signals (default: 40)
Sell Line: Upper threshold for sell signals (default: 60)
How the Indicator Works
RSI3M3 Calculation:
Calculates a 3-period RSI (sRSI)
Smooths it with a 3-period moving average (sMA)
Cycle Detection:
Identifies bottoms: When the RSI is below the buy line (40) and starting to turn up
Identifies tops: When the RSI is above the sell line (60) and starting to turn down
Records these points to calculate cycle lengths
Timing Bands:
Projects when the next cycle bottom or top should occur
Creates visual bands on the chart showing these expected time windows
Signal Generation:
Buy signals occur when the RSI turns up from below the oversold level (30)
Sell signals occur when the RSI turns down from above the overbought level (70)
Enhanced by Bressert's specific timing rules
Bressert's Five Trading Rules (Implemented in the Script)
Cycle Timing: The low must be 15-30 market days from the previous Trading Cycle bottom
Prior Top Validation: A Trading Cycle high must have occurred with the oscillator above 60
Oscillator Behavior: The oscillator must drop below 40 and turn up
Entry Trigger: Entry is triggered by a rise above the price high of the upturn day
Protective Stop: Place stop slightly below the Trading Cycle low (implemented as 99% of bottom price)
How to Use the Indicator
Reading the Chart
Main Plot Area:
Green line: 3-period RSI
Red line: 3-period moving average of the RSI
Horizontal bands: Oversold (30) and Overbought (70) regions
Dotted lines: Buy line (40) and Sell line (60)
Yellow vertical bands: Projected timing windows for next cycle bottom
Signals:
Green up arrows: Buy signals
Red down arrows: Sell signals
Trading Strategy
For Buy Signals:
Wait for the RSI to drop below the buy line (40)
Look for an upturn in the RSI from below this level
Enter the trade when price rises above the high of the upturn day
Place a protective stop at 99% of the Trading Cycle low
For Sell Signals:
Wait for the RSI to rise above the sell line (60)
Look for a downturn in the RSI from above this level
Consider exiting or taking profits when a sell signal appears
Alternative exit: When price moves below the low of the downturn day
Cycle Timing Enhancement:
Pay attention to the yellow timing bands
Signals occurring within these bands have higher probability of success
Signals outside these bands may be less reliable
Practical Tips for Using RSI3M3+
Timeframe Selection:
The indicator works best on daily charts for intermediate-term trading
Can be used on weekly charts for longer-term position trading
On intraday charts, adjust cycle lengths accordingly
Market Applicability:
Works well in trending markets with clear cyclical behavior
Less effective in choppy, non-trending markets
Consider additional indicators for trend confirmation
Parameter Adjustment:
Different markets may have different natural cycle lengths
You may need to adjust the min/max cycle length parameters
Higher volatility markets may need wider overbought/oversold levels
Trade Management:
Enter trades when all Bressert's conditions are met
Use the protective stop as defined (99% of cycle low)
Consider taking partial profits at the projected cycle high timing
Advanced Techniques
Multiple Timeframe Analysis:
Confirm signals with the same indicator on higher timeframes
Enter in the direction of the larger cycle when smaller and larger cycles align
Divergence Detection:
Look for price making new lows while RSI makes higher lows (bullish)
Look for price making new highs while RSI makes lower highs (bearish)
Confluence with Price Action:
Combine with support/resistance levels
Use with candlestick patterns for confirmation
Consider volume confirmation of cycle turns
This RSI3M3+ indicator combines the responsiveness of a short-term RSI with the predictive power of Bressert's cycle analysis, offering traders a sophisticated tool for identifying high-probability trading opportunities based on market cycles and momentum shifts.

111D SMA / (350D SMA * 2)Indicator: Pi Cycle Ratio
This custom technical indicator calculates a ratio between two moving averages that are used for the PI Cycle Top indicator. The PI Cycle Top indicator triggers when the 111-day simple moving average (111D SMA) crosses up with the 350-day simple moving average (350D SMA *2).
The line value is ratio is calculated as:
Line Value = 111DSMA / (350D SMA × 2)
When the 111D SMA crosses with the 350D SMA triggering the PI Cycle Top, the value of the ratio between the two lines is 1.
This visualizes the ratio between the two moving averages into a single line. This indicator can be used for technical analysis for historical and future moves.
BB Session RangesBB Session Ranges Indicator
Overview
The Bender Bot Session Ranges indicator is a powerful tool for traders who want to visualize and analyze important market sessions throughout the trading day. This indicator identifies and tracks price ranges during specific time periods, helping you spot potential trading opportunities based on session breakouts, retests, and range comparisons.
Key Features
• Multiple Session Tracking: Monitor up to 6 different time-based ranges simultaneously (pre-configured for NY AM Open, NY PM Open, Lunch, Premarket, Midnight Open, and a custom session).
• Range Visualization: Clearly displays high and low boundaries for each session with customizable colors and line styles.
• Historical Comparison: Tracks and displays the average size of ranges over time, helping you identify when current ranges are larger or smaller than typical.
• Flexible Time Settings: Easily configure exact session times based on your trading schedule and preferred markets.
• Range Extension Options: Extend range boundaries by bars, days, or weeks to track the longer-term influence of session ranges.
• Sidecar Information Display: Optional labels show range details, including size, percentage of average, and dollar value.
How It Works
The indicator identifies specific time-based sessions (for example, the first 5 minutes of the NY market open) and tracks the high and low prices established during these periods. Once a session is complete, the range boundaries are plotted on your chart and can be extended for further analysis. The indicator calculates the current range size and compares it to historical averages, giving you context for the day’s market behavior.
Sidecar Functionality
The sidecar feature is a key aspect of this indicator that helps keep your charts clean and organized. Instead of cluttering your price action with labels and annotations directly on the ranges, the sidecar system:
• Creates a dedicated information panel offset from the price action.
• Connects to ranges with discreet connecting lines.
• Displays key statistics like range size, dollar value, and percentage of average.
• Can be positioned at custom distances from the main chart (measured in bars).
• Allows you to see important data without interfering with your price analysis.
• Can be completely disabled when you prefer minimal chart elements.
• Helps maintain visual clarity even when tracking multiple sessions simultaneously.
This design philosophy puts trader experience first by separating information display from price action analysis, giving you the best of both worlds: clean charts and detailed information.
Setup Guide
1. Choose Your Sessions: Enable or disable each of the six available ranges by setting the Max Ranges to Plot parameter (use 0 to disable a range).
2. Configure Session Times: Set exact times for each range using standard 24-hour format (for example, 0930-0935 for 9:30-9:35 AM).
3. Customize Display: Select colors, line widths, and information display options for each range.
4. Set Extension Parameters: Choose how far to extend range lines (by a number of bars, days, or weeks, or select Always for continuous extension).
5. Configure Sidecar Labels: Set the offset for the information displays (use 0 to disable sidecar labels entirely).
Trading Applications
• Identify potential support and resistance levels based on session highs and lows.
• Compare current session ranges to historical averages to gauge volatility.
• Look for breakouts from established session ranges.
• Use range extensions to anticipate potential price targets.
• Monitor multiple session ranges to identify pattern correlations.
Advanced Usage
The indicator includes fields that help you assess range size relative to past performance, including dollar value calculations. This can be particularly useful for position sizing and risk management when trading breakouts from these ranges.
Future Development
We’re actively working on expanding this indicator to include robust strategy and alert functionality. This will allow traders to:
• Backtest trading strategies based on session range breakouts and retests.
• Customize entry, exit, and risk management parameters.
• Receive real-time alerts when price interacts with significant range levels.
• Set conditional alerts based on range size compared to historical averages.
• Automate trading decisions based on your specific session-based criteria.
If these strategy and alert features would be valuable for your trading, please let us know in the comments. Your feedback directly influences our development priorities and helps us create tools that best serve the trading community.

TICK Bias Timer with EMA Position📌 Description
This indicator tracks the time in minutes that the Exponential Moving Average (EMA) of the NYSE USI:TICK remains above or below the zero line. It serves as a powerful market breadth confirmation tool to support your intraday directional bias.
Rather than focusing on momentary TICK spikes, this tool emphasizes duration and persistence of buying/selling pressure across the entire NYSE – helping traders stay on the right side of the flow.
🔧 Features
✅ Measures how long the EMA of TICK stays above or below 0
✅ Visual plots of upward and downward pressure duration (in minutes)
✅ Background color changes based on EMA position relative to 0
✅ Automatic daily reset at a customizable time (e.g. 15:30 for RTH open)
✅ Gap filter to avoid spikes during overnight or weekend sessions
✅ Clean, minimalist design – built for real-time decision making
🎯 How to Use
EMA > 0 for 10+ minutes → sustained bullish breadth → intraday bullish bias
EMA < 0 for 10+ minutes → sustained bearish breadth → intraday bearish bias
Frequent flip between sides → uncertain or choppy market → trade with caution
Can be used in confluence with Volume Profile, VWAP, price action, and Bookmap to reinforce trade setups.
💡 Ideal For:
Scalpers looking for flow confirmation
Day traders who want to filter fake strength/weakness
Professionals using TICK, USI:ADD , USI:VOLD , and other internals for decision-making
OB & OS of Merged Efficiency & Time-Based OscillatorThis indicator, titled "Merged Efficiency & Time-Based Oscillator," attempts to provide a unique perspective on market momentum and trend efficiency by combining several distinct concepts into a single oscillator displayed below the main price chart.
At its core, it blends two main ideas:
Market Efficiency: It calculates an "Efficiency Ratio" over a long lookback period. This part aims to measure how directly price has moved from its starting point to its ending point, compared to the total distance it traveled back and forth. High efficiency might suggest a strong, direct trend, while low efficiency could indicate choppy, sideways action. Users can choose between a standard or directional version of this calculation.
Time-Weighted Momentum: Inspired by the concepts behind RSI, this part calculates two related oscillator values over a shorter period. Instead of just looking at the magnitude of price gains versus losses, it uniquely considers both the time spent and the size of the move going in that direction
The Merging: We then average the long-term Efficiency Ratio with the two shorter-term, time-and-value-based momentum signals. The goal is to create a hybrid oscillator that reflects both the underlying trend's directness and the more recent momentum dynamics.
Output and Signals:
The script dynamically calculates overbought and oversold levels based on the oscillator's own recent history. These levels adapt to the indicator's volatility.
Potential "BUY" (triangle up) and "SELL" (triangle down) signals are plotted on the price chart when the oscillator crosses out of the dynamically calculated extreme zones, suggesting a potential reversal or exhaustion point.

Daily ProtractorDaily Protractor Indicator
Overview
The Daily Protractor is a visually intuitive tool designed for traders who want to analyze price action through angular measurements on a 5-minute chart. By overlaying a protractor on the chart, this indicator helps identify potential support, resistance, and trend directions based on angular relationships from the first 5-minute candle of each day. It’s particularly useful for intraday traders looking to incorporate geometric analysis into their strategies for spot or strike charts.
Key Features
Dynamic Protractor Overlay: Draws a protractor centered on the low of the first 5-minute candle of each day, with customizable radius in both bars (horizontal) and price units (vertical).
Angular Measurements: Displays angles in 5-degree increments, covering a full 360° circle or a 105° to -105° (91° to 269°) half-circle, depending on user preference.
Customizable Display:
Adjust the number of days to display protractors (up to 5 days).
Customize line colors for different angle ranges (0° to 180°, 180° to 360°, and 0° specifically).
Modify line thickness, label size, and label colors for better visibility.
Center Point Highlight: Marks the center of each protractor with a labeled point for easy reference.
Efficient Design:
Optimized with max_lines_count, max_labels_count, and max_bars_back to ensure smooth performance on TradingView.
How It Works
The indicator identifies the first 5-minute candle of each day and uses its low price as the center point for a protractor. It then draws lines at 5-degree intervals, radiating from the center, with each line representing an angle from 0° to 360°. Labels at the end of each line display the angle in degrees, with negative values shown for angles between 195° and 345° (e.g., 270° is displayed as -90°). The protractor’s radius can be adjusted in both time (bars) and price units, allowing traders to scale the tool to their chart’s characteristics.
Usage Instructions
Add to Chart:
Apply the indicator to a 5-minute chart of your chosen instrument (e.g., spot or strike charts).
Interpret the Protractor:
Use the angular lines to identify potential price levels or trend directions.
The 0° line (horizontal) can act as a reference for horizontal support/resistance.
Angles between 0° and 180° (upper half) and 180° and 360° (lower half) are color-coded for quick identification.
Customize Settings:
Toggle the Show 105° to -105° option to display a half-circle (91° to 269°) instead of a full 360° protractor.
Adjust the Radius in Bars and Radius in Price Units to scale the protractor to your chart.
Set the Maximum Days to Display to control how many daily protractors are shown.
Modify line thickness, colors, and label settings to suit your visual preferences.
Customization Options
Protractor Settings:
Show 105° to -105° (91° to 269°): Toggle between a full circle or a half-circle protractor.
Radius in Bars: Set the horizontal span of the protractor (default: 75 bars).
Radius in Price Units: Set the vertical span in price units (default: 1000.0).
Maximum Days to Display: Limit the number of protractors shown (default: 5 days).
Line Settings:
Line Thickness: Adjust the thickness of the protractor lines (1 or 2).
Line Color (0° to 180°): Color for the upper half (default: light blue).
Line Color (180° to 360°): Color for the lower half (default: light red).
Line Color (0°): Color for the 0° line (default: black).
Label Settings:
Label Size: Choose between small, normal, or large labels.
Label Color (0° to 180°): Color for labels in the upper half (default: red).
Label Color (180° to 360°): Color for labels in the lower half (default: green).
Notes
The indicator was designed with the help of Grok3 for use on 5-minute charts only, as it relies on the first 5-minute candle of the day to set the protractor’s center.
For best results, adjust the radius settings to match the volatility and price scale of your instrument. However, where the price is in single digits it is advised to switch off the labels or I would suggest not to use the same.
The protractor can be used alongside other technical tools to confirm trends, reversals, or key price levels.
Limitations: This cannot be used on instruments that trade for more than 75 candles with a timeframe of 5 minutes as the angles would not cover the entire trading window. I am working coming up with a script to address this limitation.
Feedback

The Alchemist's Codex | Divergences of Multi Length RSI This Pine Script 5 indicator, titled "The Alchemist's Codex - Project La Grande Finale | Slope Loop Based Divergences of Multi Length RSI," is designed to identify potential bullish and bearish divergences between price and a custom-calculated Relative Strength Index (RSI). It aims to provide traders with signals based on the momentum and rate of change of price and RSI.
Here's a breakdown of its functionality:
1. Custom RSI Calculation:
The script begins by calculating a unique RSI variant. It iterates through various lookback periods (from 1 to a user-defined maximum), computing the RSI for each.
It incorporates a dual weighting mechanism, considering both the rate of change and the time elapsed since significant RSI changes. This aims to provide a more nuanced representation of momentum.
The script calculates averages incorporating both slope and time factors.
The calculated RSI values are then again averaged over the defined lookback range to produce a final, smoothed RSI output.
2. Slope Calculation and Divergence Detection:
The script calculates the average slopes of both the price and the custom RSI over a range of lengths (from a minimum to a maximum defined by the user).
It ranks calculations to determine the relative strength of the price and RSI slopes.
It then identifies potential bullish and bearish divergences by comparing the percent ranks of the price and RSI slopes, along with comparing the current price and RSI values to previous values over a short and long lookback.
Bullish divergences occur when the price makes lower lows while the RSI makes higher lows, and when the price slope is very low, and the RSI slope is very high. Additionally it checks that the current price slope is higher than the previous price slope.
Bearish divergences occur when the price makes higher highs while the RSI makes lower highs, and when the price slope is very high, and the RSI slope is very low. Additionally it checks that the current price slope is lower than the previous price slope.
3. Visualizations:
The script plots labels on the chart to indicate bullish and bearish divergences.
It also plots the average price and RSI slopes, allowing traders to visually assess the momentum and direction of both.
Key Input Parameters:
length: Base RSI length.
rsiThreshold: Defines a meaningful change in RSI.
price_source: Source of price data.
minLength, maxLength: Range of lengths for slope calculations.
Low_Percentage_rank, High_Percentage_rank: Percent rank thresholds for divergence detection.
x, z: lookback periods for the bullish and bearish divergence conditions.
mult: A multiplier.
In essence, this indicator combines a custom RSI calculation with slope analysis and percent rank evaluation to identify potential divergences, providing traders with signals based on momentum and relative strength.

Dow Theory Trend StrategyDow Theory Trend Strategy (Pine Script)
Overview
This Pine Script implements a trading strategy based on the core principles of Dow Theory. It visually identifies trends (uptrend, downtrend) by analyzing pivot highs and lows and executes trades when the trend direction changes. This script is an improved version that features refined trend determination logic and strategy implementation.
Core Concept: Dow Theory
The script uses a fundamental Dow Theory concept for trend identification:
Uptrend: Characterized by a series of Higher Highs (HH) and Higher Lows (HL).
Downtrend: Characterized by a series of Lower Highs (LH) and Lower Lows (LL).
How it Works
Pivot Point Detection:
It uses the built-in ta.pivothigh() and ta.pivotlow() functions to identify significant swing points (potential highs and lows) in the price action.
The pivotLookback input determines the number of bars to the left and right required to confirm a pivot. Note that this introduces a natural lag (equal to pivotLookback bars) before a pivot is confirmed.
Improved Trend Determination:
The script stores the last two confirmed pivot highs and the last two confirmed pivot lows.
An Uptrend (trendDirection = 1) is confirmed only when the latest pivot high is higher than the previous one (HH) AND the latest pivot low is higher than the previous one (HL).
A Downtrend (trendDirection = -1) is confirmed only when the latest pivot high is lower than the previous one (LH) AND the latest pivot low is lower than the previous one (LL).
Key Improvement: If neither a clear uptrend nor a clear downtrend is confirmed based on the latest pivots, the script maintains the previous trend state (trendDirection := trendDirection ). This differs from simpler implementations that might switch to a neutral/range state (e.g., trendDirection = 0) more frequently. This approach aims for smoother trend following, acknowledging that trends often persist through periods without immediate new HH/HL or LH/LL confirmations.
Trend Change Detection:
The script monitors changes in the trendDirection variable.
changedToUp becomes true when the trend shifts to an Uptrend (from Downtrend or initial state).
changedToDown becomes true when the trend shifts to a Downtrend (from Uptrend or initial state).
Visualizations
Background Color: The chart background is colored to reflect the currently identified trend:
Blue: Uptrend (trendDirection == 1)
Red: Downtrend (trendDirection == -1)
Gray: Initial state or undetermined (trendDirection == 0)
Pivot Points (Optional): Small triangles (shape.triangledown/shape.triangleup) can be displayed above pivot highs and below pivot lows if showPivotPoints is enabled.
Trend Change Signals (Optional): Labels ("▲ UP" / "▼ DOWN") can be displayed when a trend change is confirmed (changedToUp / changedToDown) if showTrendChange is enabled. These visually mark the potential entry points for the strategy.
Strategy Logic
Entry Conditions:
Enters a long position (strategy.long) using strategy.entry("L", ...) when changedToUp becomes true.
Enters a short position (strategy.short) using strategy.entry("S", ...) when changedToDown becomes true.
Position Management: The script uses strategy.entry(), which automatically handles position reversal. If the strategy is long and a short signal occurs, strategy.entry() will close the long position and open a new short one (and vice-versa).
Inputs
pivotLookback: The number of bars on each side to confirm a pivot high/low. Higher values mean pivots are confirmed later but may be more significant.
showPivotPoints: Toggle visibility of pivot point markers.
showTrendChange: Toggle visibility of the trend change labels ("▲ UP" / "▼ DOWN").
Key Improvements from Original
Smoother Trend Logic: The trend state persists unless a confirmed reversal pattern (opposite HH/HL or LH/LL) occurs, reducing potential whipsaws in choppy markets compared to logic that frequently resets to neutral.
Strategy Implementation: Converted from a pure indicator to a strategy capable of executing backtests and potentially live trades based on the Dow Theory trend changes.
Disclaimer
Dow Theory signals are inherently lagging due to the nature of pivot confirmation.
The effectiveness of the strategy depends heavily on the market conditions and the chosen pivotLookback setting.
This script serves as a basic template. Always perform thorough backtesting and implement proper risk management (e.g., stop-loss, take-profit, position sizing) before considering any live trading.
NHPF (Normalized Hodrick-Prescott Filter)This indicator applies a normalized Hodrick–Prescott filter (NHPF) to Bitcoin’s price data. It separates the underlying trend from short-term cyclical fluctuations by recursively smoothing the price using a user-defined lambda (HP Filter Period). The raw trend is then normalized by calculating a ratio between the trend and the current price, which is scaled and shifted according to subjective parameters (Mean and Scale). The result is a dimensionless value that highlights deviations from the long-term trend—serving as a signal for potential overbought (positive values) or oversold (negative values) market conditions. A zero line provides a clear reference, allowing traders to visually gauge when Bitcoin’s price is significantly above or below its expected trajectory.
Feel free to adjust the inputs to best match your analysis preferences.
