Otekura Range Trade Algorithm [Tradebuddies]The Range Trade Algorithm calculates the levels for Monday.
On the chart you will see that the Monday levels will be marked as 1 0 -1.
The M High level calculates Monday's high close and plots it on the screen.
M Low calculates the low close of Monday and plots it on the screen.
The coloured lines on the screen are the points of the range levels formulated with fibonacci values.
The indicator has its own Value table. The prices of the levels are written.
Potential Range breakout targets tell prices at points matching the fibonacci values. These are Take profit or reversal points.
Buy and Sell indicators are determined by the range breakout.
Users can set an alarm on the indicator and receive direct notification with their targets when a new range occurs.
Fib values are multiplied by range values and create an average target according to the price situation. These values represent an area. Breakdown targets show that the target is targeted until the area.

ColorSMAColorSMA Indicator – Description & Usage Guide
Overview
The ColorSMA indicator is a dynamic trend-following moving average designed to adapt to volatility and provide clearer visual cues for traders. Unlike a standard simple moving average (SMA), this tool applies a volatility filter using a standard deviation channel and then smooths the price before calculating the moving average.
The result is a single line on the chart that changes color depending on its trend direction:
Blue (Uptrend) – The moving average is rising compared to the previous bar.
Red (Downtrend) – The moving average is falling compared to the previous bar.
This visual coloring makes it easier to spot the trend direction at a glance.
How It Works
Baseline SMA
The script first calculates a classic SMA based on the selected Length (default = 9).
This baseline acts as the foundation of the indicator.
Volatility Filter (SD Channel)
A standard deviation multiplier is applied to create an upper and lower channel around the SMA.
If price moves outside this channel, it gets “clamped” back within the channel range.
This reduces noise and prevents false signals in highly volatile conditions.
Smoothed Price (Extra Smooth)
The filtered price is then smoothed with another SMA (default = 3).
This step makes the line cleaner and easier to interpret.
Trend Coloring
If the current smoothed SMA is higher than its previous value → the line is Blue.
If it is lower → the line is Red .
This simple but effective color-coding highlights trend shifts without cluttering the chart.
Inputs & Settings
Source: The price source used in the calculation (default = close).
Length: The SMA period length (default = 9).
Extra Smooth : Additional smoothing for the final line (default = 3). Lower values make it more responsive, higher values make it smoother.
Width (Volatility Filter – SD Channel): The multiplier applied to the standard deviation. Controls how wide the channel is (default = 0.3).
Length (Volatility Filter – SD Channel): The period for calculating standard deviation (default = 1).
What You See on the Chart
A single moving average line that changes color:
Blue (Up) = trend strength or bullish direction.
Red (Down) = trend weakness or bearish direction.
The line itself is already filtered through a volatility channel and smoothing, so it reacts to market conditions while reducing noise.
How to Use It
Trend Identification
Use the color changes (Blue/Red) to quickly identify short-term trend shifts.
Blue phases suggest bullish bias, Red phases suggest bearish bias.
Entry/Exit Guidance
Traders can align entries with the trend color (e.g., buy when it turns Blue, sell/short when it turns Red).
Combine with price action or other indicators for confirmation.
Volatility Filtering
Adjust the Width and SD Length parameters to tune how sensitive the indicator is to price fluctuations. Narrower channels give more signals; wider channels filter out more noise.
Smoothing Control
If you prefer faster reactions, lower the smoothing value.
If you want steadier signals, increase smoothing.
Summary
The ColorSMA is a visually enhanced moving average that adapts to volatility and simplifies trend detection. It is especially useful for traders who prefer:
Clean charts with minimal clutter.
Clear, color-coded signals for trend direction.
Flexibility to adjust responsiveness via smoothing and channel width.
This indicator is best used as a trend confirmation tool or combined with other strategies such as support/resistance, candlestick patterns, or oscillators for robust trade setups.

Hopiplaka Twin Tower Levels (Variable Multiplier) [NZA 333]Purpose
Instrument scope: This indicator is for exchange-traded futures only (e.g., CME/ICE). It assumes a regular session with a 16:00 daily fix; use on spot FX, equities/ETFs, CFDs, or crypto is not supported and may produce incorrect windows/levels.
This tool draws structured possible support/resistance price-level frameworks anchored to a daily “Fix” at 16:00 and lets you study intraday expansion/mean-reversion from that anchor. It overlays three families of levels:
CB - Circuit-Breaker style bands: symmetric bands at ±X% of the Fix (user-defined), plus intermediate percentages (14/26/40/50/60/74/86) and three highlighted “impulse” bands.
GB – “Goldbach-type” ratios: fixed ratios applied to a user-selected PO3 dealing range (e.g., 729, 2187, 6561 points). This produces low/eq/high rails and intermediate harmonics, including extended rails at −0.111 and 1.111.
STDV – “Stop-Run” ladders: equidistant steps (user step size) centered on the Fix and bounded by ±PO3/2.
All drawings are time-boxed windows that run from one 16:00 to the next 16:00 so you can compare today vs. prior sessions at a glance, including weekends/market closures.
How it works (high level)
Session windows (16:00→16:00)
For non-crypto symbols, each “day” is a window starting at 16:00 in the user-chosen timezone (default: America/New_York) and ending at the next day’s 15:59. When a new 16:00 occurs, the script immediately rolls the windows forward so Day-0, Day-1, Day-2, Day-3 always reference the latest four 16:00 anchors, even across weekends.
Fix source (per day)
Each day can use one of:
O/C: the open price of the 16:00 bar (acts as an official fix for that session).
VWAP: the VWAP value on the 15:59:30 (last 30 seconds bar before 16:00). You need Trading View Premium to use this source.
Manual: user-entered value. You can visit CME Group's website to see the published fix prices for your chart and enter it manually.
For a current session you want to use the previous session fix price until 4 pm (New York).
Market type handling
Crypto: by default the Fix is 16:00 Europe/London (configurable). Crypto session handling remains continuous; the script keeps the crypto branch behavior separate so nothing changes for 24/7 markets.
Non-crypto: uses the selected timezone (default NY). The script explicitly handles weekends/holidays so Day-0 can be Fri→Mon and Day-1 Thu→Fri, etc.
Ratios & math
Circuit Breakers bands: Fix ± (Fix * percent / 100), with extra mid-points (“CE levels”) and the intermediate percentages listed above.
Goldbach ratios: a fixed array of ratios mapped onto the PO3 distance; on Forex, PO3 is automatically converted to price units using syminfo.mintick.
STDV steps: Fix ± n * step, drawn only within ±PO3/2.
Rendering model
Lines are created with xloc = xloc.bar_time between the window’s start/end timestamps. A housekeeping buffer deletes/redraws on the last bar to keep charts responsive when you toggle features. A compact table shows, per day window, the session label, Fix (and its source), and the active options (CB%, PO3, STDV).
Update behavior
As soon as the 16:00 1-minute bar closes, the Fix for Day-0 updates and older windows roll forward. Historical windows (Day-1/2/3) also move forward afterward, since their Fix times are already stored. On higher timeframes, the script relies on the captured 1-minute Fix so Day-0 levels appear intrabar even if the higher-TF candle hasn’t closed yet.
How to use it
I - Choose the Fix source per day (Manual / VWAP / O/C).
II- Choose levels to show on each day, via toggles:
- Mode 1: Toggle "Show Goldbach Levels" and/or "NG Levels" / "CE Levels" (extra ratio sets) to show these levels for the day. Choose PO3 DR (Dealing Range), note the fix price acts as Equilibrium.
- Mode 2: Toggle "Show Stop Run Levels" to show PO3 distance in handles from Fix Price. Choose a PO3 number from the "STDV" option, this will be your max distance in handles (think Dealing Range).
- Mode 3: Toggle "Show Circuit Breaker Levels" to show ratios derived from the CME Group's official price limits percents from the fix price for a day (7%, 13% or 20%) * 2.
Each mode's toggles are in the same line, one line per mode. Usually you just need one of the 3 modes.
III - Use Day shift to scroll the four windows through past sessions (0 by default).
IV - Use Hour shift to visually nudge the drawings on the time axis without changing calculations.
Timezone: for non-crypto, select America/New_York, Europe/London or UTC for the 16:00 anchor. Crypto can auto-use London 16:00.
Notes & limitations
The tool does not generate buy/sell signals; it’s a visual framework for contextual levels.
O/C fixes (Default) are captured from the 1-minute series at exactly 16:00; if a symbol lacks 1-minute history at that time (rare), a day window may show as missing or could take the fix price incorrectly.
VWAP fixes are captured from the 30-seconds series at exactly 16:00; if a symbol lacks 30 seconds history at that time, a day window may show as missing.
Historical windows are fixed once their 16:00 bar has closed; Day-0 updates only at the moment a new 16:00 occurs.
Be mindful of symbol tick size/PO3 scale on Forex vs. indices/futures.
This indicator does not predict future values and does not access future data beyond the last completed 16:00 bar. See TradingView’s guidance on realistic claims and use of request.security.
(Educational use only. Trading involves risk; past behavior of levels relative to price does not guarantee future outcomes.)
Ultimate📖 Indicator Description – Ultimate
The Ultimate Indicator is a complete charting framework that combines linear regression channels, dynamic deviation bands, EMA ribbons, volatility spreads, and entry/exit markers. It is designed to help traders visualize trend direction, potential reversals, and trade setups with precision.
🔹 What You See on the Chart
Channel Lines (Linear Regression Bands)
Green dotted line (median): Fair value trendline based on regression.
Red dashed line (upper band): Dynamic resistance zone.
Blue dashed line (lower band): Dynamic support zone.
Mid-bands (thin dotted red/blue): Halfway between median and outer bands, useful for scaling entries or partial exits.
🔹 EMA Ribbon (Light Green Shades)
Multiple EMAs (5, 8, 13, 21, 34) plotted in progressively lighter green.
Helps visualize momentum shifts and trend strength.
Ribbon turns more aqua/green when short-term EMAs align bullishly.
🙌Markers on Price
🔴 Red Circle (Dot): Short entry signal (price rejecting upper deviation band).
🔵 Blue Circle (Dot): Long entry signal (price bouncing off lower deviation band).
❌ Red X: Peak formation detected, potential short setup (not always valid).
🔷 Blue Diamond: Trough formation detected, potential long setup (not always valid).
Numbers Above/Below Candles
🔴Red numbers (above peaks): % spread from the bottom to the peak, showing upward volatility.
🔵 Blue numbers (below troughs): % spread from the top to the trough, showing downward volatility.
These values help traders gauge the strength of recent swings and compare volatility expansions.
🔹 Signal Logic🔹
🔵Long Signal (Blue Circle):
Forms when price makes a trough and crosses back above the lower regression band.
Confirms potential upside reversal with stop-loss guided by ATR or swing low.
🔴Short Signal (Red Circle):
Forms when price makes a peak and crosses below the upper regression band.
Confirms potential downside reversal with stop-loss guided by ATR or swing high.
❌ Peaks (Red X):
Indicate local tops. Not all peaks convert into shorts, but they warn of resistance zones.
🔹Troughs (Blue Diamonds):
Indicate local bottoms. Not all troughs convert into longs, but they warn of support zones.
🔹 Alerts
When a valid long or short setup is confirmed, an alert fires with:
Ticker name
Entry price
Suggested position size (Quantity)
Stop loss level (ATR-based or HL-based)
Take profit level (calculated by reward multiple)
🔹 Inputs & Customization
Quantity: Lot size suggestion.
Deviation: Multiplier for regression channel width.
Take Profit: Risk-to-reward multiplier.
Stop Loss: ATR or High/Low based.
Trend Lines: Choose between extended or fixed channels.
Period: Lookback window for regression.
Spread Percentages: Toggle volatility labels on/off.
🔹 How to Use
Trend Following: Ride price inside the channel using EMA ribbon alignment.
Reversal Trading: Enter at deviation extremes with confirmation signals.
Volatility Mapping: Use spread % labels to measure the strength of market swings.
Risk Management: ATR-based stops adapt to volatility, while HL stops give structural support/resistance.
✅ In summary:
The Ultimate Indicator is not just a regression channel—it’s a multi-layered system that highlights trend bias, entry/exit signals, volatility spreads, and adaptive risk levels. It allows traders to see at a glance whether the market is trending, ranging, or preparing for a reversal.
Weighted Sector ADD (sign-weighted)What it is
A true, cap-weighted advances/declines (ADD) proxy for the S&P 500 using sector ETFs. Each sector contributes +1 if it’s up on the bar, −1 if it’s down, 0 if flat. Those signals are then weighted by your sector weights (auto-normalized to 100%) and summed into a single breadth line. The result is a fast, low-noise read of how much of the S&P (by sector weight) is advancing vs. declining right now.
- Tracks participation, not price magnitude—perfect for spotting “broad vs. narrow” moves
- Heavily weighted sectors (e.g., Tech) matter proportionally more, reflecting real index impact
- Simple scale: ~−1 to +1 (all weight down → all weight up)
Chart Elements
- Green/Red Columns – “Weighted ADD”: Current bar’s weighted breadth (sign-based by default)
- Blue Line – “Weighted MA”: SMA of the weighted ADD (regime filter)
- Zero/Guide Lines (optional): 0.0, ±0.2 (mild), ±0.6 (strong)
- Labels (optional): Text markers at those guide levels
- Advancing Weight % (optional): Label showing ((ADD+1)/2)*100 → share of total sector weight advancing
How to Read (Quick Guide)
- +0.60 to +1.00 → Broad, one-sided risk-on (most sector weight advancing)
- +0.20 to +0.60 → Moderate, supportive breadth
- −0.20 to +0.20 → Mixed/choppy; rotation
- −0.60 to −1.00 → Broad, one-sided risk-off
- MA above/below zero → Simple regime indicator; zero-crosses could be potential alert triggers
- Divergence: Strong price move with a weak/flat ADD could potentially warn of narrow participation
Inputs & settings
Calculation
- Use returns instead of up/down sign?
OFF (default): true weighted participation (+1/−1/0)
ON: weighted sector returns (winsor-capped). Use if you want magnitude, not just direction
- Winsor cap (returns mode): Caps per-sector contribution in returns mode (e.g., 0.02 = ±2%)
- Smoothing MA length: SMA period for the blue “Weighted MA” line
- Source timeframe: Compute signals on another TF (e.g., “60”) but plot on your chart TF
Visibility
- Show Weighted ADD (bars): Toggle the green/red columns
- Show Weighted ADD MA: Toggle the blue SMA line
- Show Zero Line (0): Toggle the 0.0 reference line
- Show ±0.2 / ±0.6 guide lines: Toggle the helper levels
- Show guide labels: Draw small text labels at 0, ±0.2, ±0.6
- Guide label offset (bars left): Move labels left if they overlap the right edge values
- Show Advancing Weight % label: Toggle the % of sector weight currently advancing
Sector Symbols (ETF proxies)
- XLK, XLY, XLF, XLV, XLC, XLI, XLP, XLE, XLB, XLU, XLRE: Defaults to the SPDR sector ETFs. You can swap for alternative proxies if desired.
Sector Weights (auto-normalize)
- Weight inputs for each sector (e.g., Tech 0.30, Financials 0.13…). These auto-normalize to 1.0 so you can paste rough numbers; the script scales them.
- Keep weights fresh. GICS sector weights drift; update periodically (e.g., quarterly).
Alerts included
- “Weighted ADD crossed above 0”
- “Weighted ADD crossed below 0”
Version
v1.0 – Initial release (weighted sign-based ADD + SMA, zero/guide lines & labels, Adv % label, alerts).
RSI (8 & 13) + Fibonacci LevelsIndicator Description: RSI (8 & 13) + Fibonacci Levels
This custom indicator is designed to provide a dual-speed RSI framework with embedded Fibonacci retracement levels for advanced momentum and reversal analysis. It combines the power of relative strength measurement with the natural harmony of Fibonacci ratios to give traders a structured approach to market timing and confluence trading.
The indicator plots two RSI lines on a dedicated sub-chart:
RSI Fast (8) → short-term momentum, highly sensitive to price action, helps identify quick shifts and micro-trends.
RSI Slow (13) → smoother and less volatile, acts as confirmation of broader trend direction and underlying strength.
By combining both RSI speeds, traders can spot alignment, divergences, and crossover signals between fast and slow momentum. When both lines move in sync, it reflects strong conviction; when they diverge, it signals potential exhaustion or trend shifts.
Overlaying Fibonacci retracement levels on RSI adds an extra dimension of precision. Instead of using arbitrary zones, the indicator relies on mathematically significant levels tied to natural market cycles:
23.6% → shallow pullbacks, early momentum pauses.
38.2% → minor retracements, often signaling trend continuation.
50% → balance point between strength and weakness.
61.8% → golden ratio, strong correction or reversal zone.
78.6% → deep retracement, last line before full reversal.
In addition, the script marks the classic RSI boundaries:
70 (Overbought) → potential profit-taking, stretched bullish conditions.
30 (Oversold) → potential accumulation, stretched bearish conditions.
Together, these zones help traders gauge not only when the RSI is “too high” or “too low,” but also where price momentum aligns with natural Fibonacci retracement zones. This approach transforms RSI from a simple oscillator into a multi-layered momentum map.
Practical Uses:
Trend Confirmation → When RSI(8) and RSI(13) are both above 50 and rising, bullish strength is confirmed.
Divergence Detection → If price makes higher highs but RSI(8) fails to confirm, it warns of weakening momentum.
Reversal Hunting → Look for RSI rejection candles at Fib levels (e.g., fast RSI hitting 61.8 and rolling over).
Entry/Exit Timing → Use fast RSI crossovers with slow RSI as tactical entries within the broader structure.
Confluence Trading → Strong signals occur when RSI rejection coincides with price structure (double tops/bottoms, Fibonacci levels on chart, Bollinger Band rejections).
This indicator is especially powerful when paired with Bollinger Bands or price action rejection patterns, creating a system where price extremes are validated against RSI Fib zones.
Ultimately, the RSI (8 & 13) + Fibonacci Levels indicator acts as a precision filter — helping traders separate noise from genuine turning points and reinforcing entries/exits with multiple layers of confluence.
Bollinger Bands (SMA 21, 2.618σ)Indicator Description: Bollinger Bands (2.618σ, 21 SMA) + RSI with Fibonacci
This custom indicator combines Bollinger Bands and Relative Strength Index (RSI), enhanced with Fibonacci-based configurations, to provide confluence signals for rejection candles, reversal setups, and continuation patterns.
Bollinger Bands Settings (Customized)
Middle Band → 21-period Simple Moving Average (SMA)
Upper Band → SMA + 2.618 standard deviations
Lower Band → SMA − 2.618 standard deviations
These parameters expand the bands compared to the traditional (20, 2.0) settings, making them better suited for volatility extremes and higher timeframe swing analysis.
Color Scheme
Middle Band = Orange
Upper Band = Red
Lower Band = Green
This color-coding emphasizes key rejection levels visually.
Candle Rejection Logic
The indicator is designed to highlight potential rejection candles when price interacts with the outer Bollinger Bands:
At the Upper Band, rejection signals suggest overextension and potential downside reaction.
At the Lower Band, rejection signals suggest oversold conditions and potential upside reaction.
Rejection Candle Types Tracked
Hammer (bullish reversal, lower rejection wick at bottom band)
Inverted Hammer (bearish reversal, upper rejection wick at top band)
Doji candles (indecision at band extremes)
Double Top formations near the upper band
Double Bottom formations near the lower band
Relative Strength Index (RSI) Settings
RSI is configured with Fibonacci retracement levels instead of traditional 30/70 thresholds.
Fibonacci sequence levels used include:
23.6% (0.236)
38.2% (0.382)
50% (0.5)
61.8% (0.618)
78.6% (0.786)
This alignment with Fibonacci ratios provides deeper market structure insights into momentum strength and exhaustion points.
Trading Confluence Zones
Upper Band + RSI at 0.618–0.786 zone → High probability bearish rejection.
Lower Band + RSI at 0.236–0.382 zone → High probability bullish reversal.
Band interaction + Doji or Hammer candles → Stronger signal confirmation.
Use Cases
Identifying trend exhaustion when price repeatedly fails to break above the upper band.
Spotting accumulation or distribution phases when price consolidates around Fibonacci-based RSI zones.
Detecting false breakouts when candle patterns (like Doji or Inverted Hammer) occur beyond the bands.
Why 2.618 Deviation & 21 SMA?
Standard Bollinger Bands (20, 2.0) capture ~95% of price action.
By widening to 2.618σ, we target extreme volatility outliers — areas where reversals are statistically more likely.
A 21-period SMA aligns better with common cycle lengths (3 trading weeks on daily charts) and Fibonacci-related time cycles.
Practical Strategy
Step 1: Watch when price touches or pierces the upper/lower band.
Step 2: Check for candle rejection patterns (Hammer, Inverted Hammer, Doji, Double Top/Bottom).
Step 3: Confirm with RSI Fibonacci levels for confluence.
Step 4: Trade with the prevailing trend or look for reversal setups if multiple confluence factors align.
Cautions
Not all touches of the bands signal reversals — strong trends can ride along the bands for extended periods.
Always combine with price action structure, volume, and higher timeframe trend bias.
📌 Summary
This indicator blends volatility-based bands with Fibonacci momentum analysis and classical candle rejection patterns. The combination of Bollinger Bands (21, 2.618σ) and RSI Fibonacci levels helps traders detect high-probability rejection zones, reversal opportunities, and overextended conditions with improved accuracy over traditional default settings.

Grand Slam Risk ManagementGrand Slam Risk Management (GSRM) Indicator
OVERVIEW
The Grand Slam Risk Management Indicator transforms complex position sizing calculations into real-time, visual risk metrics—enabling disciplined trading decisions without the emotional guesswork that destroys accounts. This comprehensive tool is designed for active day traders and swing traders who want to automate critical risk management calculations directly on their TradingView charts. 🚀
THE GRAND SLAM RISK MANAGEMENT STRATEGY
Core Philosophy
The Grand Slam Risk Management Strategy (GSRM) gets its name from baseball's ultimate scoring play: a grand slam can only be hit when three runners are already on base, requiring at least three prior successful at-bats (hits or walks) to create the opportunity. This perfectly embodies the GSRM philosophy—consistent "base hits" in trading create the foundation for larger wins while protecting your account from devastating losses. Just as baseball teams win championships through disciplined, consistent play rather than swinging for the fences every at-bat, successful traders build wealth through reliable, repeatable profits rather than chasing home runs that often result in strikeouts. ⚾
Strategy Framework
Capital Allocation : 💰
• Working Balance: Account balance minus PDT requirement ($25,000 minimum for margin accounts)
• Allocated Buying Power: Working balance × leverage (4:1 for day trading, 2:1 for swing, 1:1 for cash)
• Daily Profit Target: 5% of allocated buying power (default)
The Base Hit System : 🎯
• Daily profit target divided into 4 "base hits"
• Each base hit represents 25% of daily goal
• Max risk per trade: 50% of base hit target (maintains 2:1 reward/risk minimum)
• Daily max loss: 2 base hits (recoverable with 2 winning trades)
Three-Tier Profit Structure : 🚀
• Tier 1 (5%): Minimum acceptable profit - "Why else take the trade?"
• Tier 2 (10%): Solid win - the target "base hit"
• Tier 3 (20%): Home run - when momentum is strongly in your favor 🏠🏃
Position Sizing Levels : 📊
• Quarter Position (25% of max): Testing the waters, lower conviction setups
• Half Position (50% of max): Standard confidence trades
• Max Position (100%): High conviction, ideal setup conditions

HOW TO USE THE GSRM INDICATOR
Initial Setup (One-Time Configuration) ⚙️
1. Set Account Balance: Enter your total trading account value
2. Configure PDT Protection: Enable for margin accounts ≥$25,000 to protect required funds
3. Select Leverage: 4:1 (day trading), 2:1 (swing), or 1:1 (cash account)
4. Adjust Risk Percentage: Default 5% of allocated buying power; reduce for conservative approach
Trading Workflow
Pre-Market Preparation: 🌅
1. Review daily profit target and max loss displayed in green/red
2. Note your base hit target - this is your standard trade goal
3. Check P&L ratio - ensure it's sustainable for your win rate
Trade Execution: 🚀
1. Assess Setup Quality :
• Strong setup → Consider half or max position 💪
• Decent setup → Quarter or half position 👍
• Testing idea → Quarter position only 🧪
2. Select Profit Tier Based on Market Conditions :
• Choppy market → Target Tier 1 (5%) 🌊
• Normal conditions → Target Tier 2 (10%) ➡️
• Strong momentum → Target Tier 3 (20%) 🚀
3. Choose Stop Method :
• Percentage stops: Best for stocks with clear support/resistance
• ATR stops: Better for volatile stocks or news-driven trades. WARNING: this may result in tighter stops, negatively affecting your P&L. To offset this effect, try increasing the number of base hits to achieve your daily profit target and recover from a daily max loss. Be sure the resultant P&L ratio is in the conservative range ≤0.5. This will allow you to adjust your per-trade P&L targets without reducing your daily profit target or increasing your max risk.
4. Execute Using Table Values :
• 🔎 Find your position size group (🟢quarter/🟡half/🔴max)
• 🔎 Find your profit target row (5%/10%/20%) for your position size group
• ⚠️ Do not exceed the share count and stop-loss values displayed ⚠️
Risk Management Rules 🛡️
Daily Limits : 🚨
• Stop trading after hitting daily max loss (prevent tilt/revenge trading)

BEST PRACTICES ⭐
1. Start Conservative : Use quarter positions and default settings until familiar with the system 🐣
2. Track Results : Document whether you hit Tier 1, 2, or 3 targets 📝
3. Respect the Math : The calculations assume a 50%+ win rate - if yours is lower, reduce position sizes 🧮
4. Daily Review : Compare actual P&L to base hit targets to calibrate expectations 🔍
5. Adapt to Conditions : Use ATR stops in volatile markets, percentage stops in stable conditions 🌡️

🔹 Features
Market Structure Detection → plots HH (Higher Highs) and LL (Lower Lows)
BOS & ChoCH → quickly identify trend shifts
Auto Supply & Demand Zones → highlights potential reversal areas
IDM Zones → marks imbalance/inefficiency
Clear color-coded visuals for bullish/bearish context
🔹 How It Works
The script evaluates recent swing highs and lows (20-bar lookback by default)
When price breaks above the recent high → Bullish BOS
When price breaks below the recent low → Bearish BOS
Based on this structure, the script automatically generates labels and zones
🔹 How To Use
Add the script to your chart (works well on 15m, 1H, 4H timeframes)
Use HH/LL labels to read the market structure
Supply & Demand zones help in identifying possible entry/exit points
IDM zones confirm imbalance areas for trade validation

While this script uses classic concepts (HH, LL, Supply/Demand, IDM), the calculations, visuals, and styling are customized to provide a fresh and unique tool for traders. It is designed to help traders clearly see market structure and plan trades accordingly.
Iani SMC Sniper XAU v2.2 (Long+Short + News Countdown, v6)Iani SMC Sniper XAU (v2.2) — smart-money logic for XAUUSD.
This indicator hunts “sniper entries” using a simple SMC sequence:
Sweep → BOS → 50% FVG entry
• After London session builds its range, we wait for a liquidity sweep (price dips below London Low for longs / wicks above London High for shorts).
• A BOS confirms direction (close breaks the last swing).
• First FVG that prints after BOS gives the entry at 50% (mid-gap).
• SL anchored to the protective swing (with a small safety buffer). TP is plotted using your Risk:Reward.
News countdown (non-blocking):
The script does not auto-fetch news; you set daily times (e.g., 14:30, 16:00) and/or specific dates (“YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM”). A countdown label shows “NEWS in Xm”. Signals are not blocked—this is just a safety heads-up for prop-firm rules.
Inputs: pivot length, RR, pip size (XAU default 0.10), session filter (after London), news times (recurring & absolute), show/hide levels & labels.
Plots & labels: London High/Low (daily), Entry/SL/TP lines, BOS/Sweep/BUY/SELL markers, news badge.
Alerts: BOS Bull/Bear, BUY/SELL Entry touch, TP/SL hit, NEWS WARNING.
Notes:
• Designed for XAUUSD intraday; works on other symbols if you adjust pip size.
• Uses symbol timezone; adjust your news times for DST if needed.
• Indicator only—no orders, no backtest. Manage risk and execution in MT5/your platform.
Changelog (v2.2): Pine v6, robust time parsing, one-line logical expressions (fixed EOL errors), mirrored short logic, cleaner London H/L reset, countdown label.
Disclaimer: Educational tool, not financial advice. Past performance ≠ future results.

MTF Supply and Demand Zones [MMT]Description
The MTF Supply and Demand Zones indicator is a powerful tool designed to identify and display supply and demand zones across multiple timeframes (MTF) on your TradingView chart. These zones highlight key areas where price is likely to react, based on significant price movements in higher timeframes. The indicator is highly customizable, allowing traders to adjust zone strength, timeframes, colors, and display settings to suit their trading style.
Key Features
Multi-Timeframe Analysis : Detects supply and demand zones from up to five user-defined timeframes (e.g., 30m, 1H, 4H, 1D, 1W).
Zone Strength Filter : Filters zones based on the strength of price movements, ensuring only significant zones are displayed.
Customizable Display : Toggle supply and demand zones on/off, adjust colors, border styles, and label settings for clarity.
Dynamic Zone Extension : Extends zones to the right of the chart for better visibility, with adjustable extension length.
Zone Cleanup : Automatically removes zones when price breaks through them, keeping the chart clean and relevant.
Labels : Displays timeframe labels on zones for easy identification, with customizable size, color, and alignment.
How It Works
Supply Zones : Identified when a strong bearish candle follows a bullish or neutral candle, indicating potential selling pressure.
Demand Zones : Identified when a strong bullish candle follows a bearish or neutral candle, indicating potential buying pressure.
Zones are drawn as boxes, with the top and bottom based on key price levels (e.g., highs/lows or open prices).
The indicator uses a strength filter to ensure only significant zones (based on candle size ratios) are plotted.
Zones are updated dynamically, extending to the right by a user-defined number of bars and removed when price breaks through them.
Settings
S&D Zones Settings
Zone Strength Filter : Adjust the minimum candle size ratio (default: 1.8) to filter weaker zones.
Show Supply/Demand : Enable or disable supply and/or demand zones.
Supply/Demand Colors : Customize the fill and border colors for supply (default: red) and demand (default: green) zones.
Timeframes : Enable up to five timeframes (e.g., 30m, 1H, 4H, 1D, 1W) to analyze zones. Only zones from timeframes higher than the chart’s timeframe are displayed.
Display Settings
Zone Extension : Set how far zones extend to the right (in bars, default: 15).
Show Label: Toggle timeframe labels on zones.
Label Style : Customize label color, size (tiny, small, normal, large, huge), and alignment (horizontal/vertical).
Usage Tips
Use higher timeframes (e.g., 4H, 1D) for stronger, more reliable zones.
Combine with other indicators (e.g., support/resistance, trendlines) to confirm trade setups.
Adjust the Zone Strength Filter to reduce noise in volatile markets.
Enable labels to quickly identify the timeframe of each zone.
Notes
The indicator is overlayed on the price chart and supports up to 500 zones.
Zones are removed when price breaks above (supply) or below (demand), ensuring only active zones remain.
Works best on markets with clear price action, such as futures, forex, stocks, or cryptocurrencies.
Happy trading! 🚀

SP2L Pour Samadi Indicator [TradingFinder] Spike 2 Legs PA🔵 Introduction
The SP2L (Spike–2Leg) strategy, designed by Mohammad Ali Poursamadi, an international Iranian trader, is a simple yet powerful price action setup developed to identify precise entry points following sharp market movements.
A Spike refers to a sudden and rapid move in the market, usually triggered by a heavy flow of orders in one direction. This sharp movement creates an Imbalance between buyers and sellers. Since the market does not have time to trade evenly during such moves, it generates Inefficiency on the chart.
The direct result of a spike is usually the formation of a Fair Value Gap (FVG) — a space between candles indicating that trades were not distributed fairly. In simple terms, the spike is the cause, while Imbalance, Inefficiency, and FVG are its consequences.
🟣 How is a Spike formed?
Big Movement : A spike begins with a sharp and powerful move caused by heavy order flow in one direction.
Imbalance : This move disrupts the balance between buyers and sellers.
Inefficiency : Due to the speed of the move, the market fails to trade efficiently, leaving inefficiency on the chart.
Fair Value Gap (FVG) : The final outcome is a price gap between candles, highlighting unfair distribution of trades.
In SP2L, entries occur right after a spike. The entry logic is based on the structure of each candle’s Higher Lows (HLs) or Lower Highs (LHs).
When a spike occurs and candles consecutively form higher lows or lower highs :
In bullish conditions, each previous low becomes a potential Buy Entry.
In bearish conditions, each previous high becomes a potential Sell Entry.
🔵 How to Use
In the SP2L strategy, entries occur directly within the ongoing strong movement (the spike). A spike forms when heavy order flow pushes the market strongly in one direction, creating several large candles in sequence. This disrupts balance and leaves patterns such as Imbalance and FVG on the chart.
During such moves, the market does not necessarily retrace; instead, it continues strongly in the direction of the spike. The key principle in SP2L is that candles begin forming Higher Lows (HLs) in a bullish spike or Lower Highs (LHs) in a bearish spike. Each HL or LH acts as a potential entry level, but the actual entry only triggers once price returns to retest that level. This allows the trader to enter within a powerful wave while keeping stop-losses clear and risk controlled.
🟣 Bullish SP2L
When a bullish spike occurs, candles consecutively form Higher Lows. Each HL marks a potential entry. The entry is activated when price returns to that HL.
Stop-Loss (SL) : Placed below the candle where the spike originated, usually the lowest point before the sharp move.
Take-Profit (TP) : Defined based on classic risk-to-reward ratios, commonly TP1 = 1:1 and TP2 = 1:2. Stronger trends may allow extended targets.
🟣 Bearish SP2L
When a bearish spike occurs, candles consecutively form Lower Highs. Each LH marks a potential sell entry. The entry is triggered when price returns to retest that LH.
Stop-Loss (SL) : Placed above the candle where the bearish spike started, usually the highest point before the sharp drop.
Take-Profit (TP) : Similar to bullish setups, typically TP1 = 1:1 and TP2 = 1:2, with extended targets possible if bearish momentum continues.
🔵 Settings

🟣 Display Settings
Display Mode : Chooses between Setup (showing setups) or Signal (showing trade signals).
Only Display the Last Position : Displays only the most recent position on the chart when enabled.
🔵 Conclusion
The SP2L (Spike–2Leg) strategy, designed by Mohammad Ali Poursamadi, offers a simple yet effective framework for trading strong market flows. Built on the logic of spikes and candle structures (HLs and LHs), it identifies precise entry points directly within the main movement of the market, where risk is clear and reward is logical.
With transparent rules, defined stop-loss placement, and flexible risk management, SP2L proves especially effective in volatile markets such as forex, gold, and indices. Its simplicity makes it practical for both beginner traders and seasoned professionals.
In summary, SP2L helps traders avoid unnecessary complexity by focusing on spikes and consecutive HL/LH formations to capture accurate, low-risk entries.

EMA / WMA RibbonMomentum Flow Ribbon
Unlock a clear, visual edge in identifying short-term momentum shifts with the Momentum Flow Ribbon.
This indicator was born from a simple yet powerful concept: to visually represent the dynamic relationship between a fast-reacting Exponential Moving Average (EMA) and the smoother, more methodical Wilder's Moving Average (WMA). While both moving averages use the same length, their unique calculation methods cause them to separate and cross, creating a "ribbon" that provides an immediate and intuitive gauge of market momentum.
This tool is designed for the disciplined trader who values clean charts and actionable signals, helping you to execute your strategies with greater confidence and precision.
How It Works
The script plots an EMA and a Wilder's Moving Average (referred to as rma in Pine Script) of the same length. The space between these two lines is then filled with a colored ribbon:
Bullish Green/Teal: The ribbon turns bullish when the faster EMA crosses above the slower Wilder's MA, indicating that short-term momentum is strengthening to the upside.
Bearish Red: The ribbon turns bearish when the EMA crosses below the Wilder's MA, signaling that short-term momentum is shifting to the downside.
The inherent "lag" of the Wilder's MA, a feature designed by J. Welles Wilder Jr. himself, acts as a steady baseline against which the more sensitive EMA can be measured. The result is a simple, zero-lag visual that filters out insignificant noise and highlights meaningful changes in trend direction.
Key Features
Customizable Length and Source: Easily adjust the moving average length and price source (close, hl2, etc.) to fit your specific trading style and the instrument you are trading, from futures like MES and MNQ to cryptocurrencies and forex.
Customizable Colors: Tailor the ribbon's bullish and bearish colors to match your personal chart aesthetic.
Built-in Alerts: The script includes pre-configured alerts for both bullish (EMA crosses above WMA) and bearish (EMA crosses below WMA) signals. Never miss a potential momentum shift again.
Clean & Lightweight: No clutter. Just a simple, effective ribbon that integrates seamlessly into any trading system.
Practical Application for the Discerning Trader
For a futures trader, timing is everything. This ribbon is not just another indicator; it's a tool for confirmation.
Imagine you've identified a key level—a Volume Profile POC, the previous day's low, or a critical accumulation zone. As price approaches this level pre-London session, you're watching for a sign of institutional activity. A flip in the ribbon's color at that precise moment can provide the powerful confirmation you need to enter a trade, trusting that you are aligning with the building liquidity and momentum heading into the New York open.
This is a tool for those who aspire to greatness in their trading—who understand that the edge is found not in complexity, but in the flawless execution of a simple, well-defined plan.
Add the Momentum Flow Ribbon to your chart and start seeing momentum in a clearer light.
