The Essa System V1.5The Essa System V1.5
Overview
The Essa System is a comprehensive trading strategy and backtesting tool designed for traders who use market structure and Fibonacci retracements. It automatically identifies significant trading ranges, calculates key retracement levels, and then backtests a complete trading strategy based on entries at these levels.
This is more than just an indicator; it's a full suite of analytical tools designed to help you develop, test, and analyze a complete trading plan directly on your chart.
How It Works
The system's logic is based on a classic price action concept:
Range Detection: First, it automatically identifies a significant trading range by finding the highest high and lowest low based on pivot points over a user-defined lookback period.
Fibonacci Analysis: Once the range direction (bullish or bearish) is established, the script calculates and displays key Fibonacci retracement levels (50%, 61.8%, 70.5%, and 78.6%).
Trade Execution: The system then looks for historical and live trading opportunities, entering a trade when the price pulls back to one of the enabled Fibonacci levels. All trades are managed with a predefined Stop Loss and Take Profit in pips.
Key Features
Automatic Range & Fibonacci Analysis: Automatically draws the primary trading range and key Fib levels, updating as market structure evolves.
Historical Backtesting: Plots all historical trade entries based on the strategy rules, allowing for a complete performance review over the chosen chart history.
Detailed Trade Visuals: Displays active trades on the chart with clear lines and boxes for entry, stop loss, and take profit zones.
Advanced Session Filtering: Allows you to isolate trades to specific market sessions (London, New York, Asia) with timezone support and daily trade limits.
Built-in Risk Management: A cornerstone of the system. It automatically calculates the required position size for each trade based on your specified Account Size, Risk Percentage, and Stop Loss.
Comprehensive Performance Tables: The script includes two powerful analytical tables:
Trade Helper Table: Shows the status of live or potential upcoming trades, including entry/SL/TP prices and the calculated position size.
History Table: Logs all recent trades and calculates key statistics like Profit Factor, Win Rate, and the overall PnL impact on your account balance.
Customizable Strategy: Fine-tune every aspect of the strategy with inputs for the lookback period, SL/TP in pips, which Fib levels are tradable, and a cooldown timer to prevent over-trading.
How to Use
Add the indicator to your chart.
Navigate to the settings and, under "Account Settings," configure your Account Size and Risk Per Trade (%). This is essential for the PnL and position sizing calculations to be meaningful.
Under "Session Filter Settings," adjust the sessions you wish to trade.
Analyze the historical trades and the performance tables to understand the strategy's behaviour on your chosen asset and timeframe.
Disclaimer: This is a tool for strategy analysis and backtesting. It is not financial advice. Past performance is not indicative of future results. Always use proper risk management.
Highs
Swing Highs and Lows between two InstrumentsThis Indicator will show you common Swing Points between two different trading symbols.
You can also use it to display the Swing Points of the current symbol or another symbol only.
When applying the Indicator to your chart it will ask you to put in a symbol. This symbol is used to find common Swing Points against the symbol that you have on your screen. Should you decide not to choose any symbol the indicator will instead mark all Swing Points for the current symbol.
Settings
Symbol: Choose any symbol that you want to compare to the selected symbol on your screen.
Sensitivity: The sensitivity defines how many candles left and right of a Swing Point have to be below (Swing High) or above (Swing Low) in order for the Indicator to mark it. A lower sensitivity will give a lot more Swing points, whereas a higher sensitivity will show less, but more important Swing Points.
Equal Highs Permissible: When calculating where a Swing Point is you can decide how you want equal highs and equal lows to be handled. The default is set to "yes" which means equal highs will be counted as if they were below (Swing High) or above (Swing Low). Choosing "no" will alter the indicators behaviour and only mark a Swing Point if all values within the sensitivity are below (Swing High) or above (Swing Low). As equal highs/lows are not below/above the Swing Point, but at the same level it will not mark the Swing Point.
Options:
You can choose to display Swing Highs and Lows for each symbol individually as well as Common Swing Points, which is the default. If you choose to display different Swing Points at the same time the visual order of importance is the following: common Swing Points > current symbol Swing Points > second symbol Swing Points.
You can also change the symbols and colors that mark the Swing Points or restrict the timeframes that the Indicator works on.
Electronic Trading Hours Session/CandlesThis indicator visually distinguishes the electronic trading session, spanning from the prior day's close (e.g., 5:00 PM EST) through the overnight period until the next day's opening bell (e.g., 9:30 AM EST).
It can be customized to highlight this period with a shaded zone or colored candles depending on the trader’s preference.
The overnight levels that create the opening range gap often act as critical zones of liquidity.
The indicator provides a clear visual cue of potential price magnets that smart money (institutional traders) may target during the opening bell session to trigger liquidity sweeps.
highs&lowsone of my first strategy: highs&lows
This strategy takes the highest high and the lowest low of a specified timeframe and specified bar count.
It will then takes the average between these two extremes to create a center line.
This creates a range of high middle and low.
Then the strategy takes the current market movement
which is the direct average(no specified timeframe and specified bar count) of the current high and low.
Using this "current market movement" within the range of high middle and low it determins when to buy and then sell the asset.
*********note***************
-this strategy is (bullish)
-works good with most futures assets that have volatility/ decent movement

Essa's Indicator 2.0Essa's Indicator V2: Beginner's Guide
This custom TradingView indicator has been designed to help you identify key trading opportunities based on session highs/lows, volatility, and moving averages. Below is a breakdown of the main features:
1. Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs)
Fast EMA (Blue Line): Tracks the short-term market trend (default: 9-period EMA).
Slow EMA (Red Line): Tracks the longer-term market trend (default: 21-period EMA).
You can turn on/off the EMAs using the "Show EMAs" option in the settings.
EMAs help smooth out price action and give a clearer picture of trends. A crossover of the fast EMA above the slow EMA can signal an upward trend, while the reverse may indicate a downward trend.
2. Session Highs and Lows
The indicator tracks price highs and lows for three major trading sessions:
London Session (Red): Highlighted in red. Active between 08:00 and 17:00 (LDN timezone) or 03:00 and 12:00 (NY timezone).
New York Session (Blue): Highlighted in blue. Active between 12:00 and 21:00 (LDN timezone) or 07:00 and 16:00 (NY timezone).
Asia Session (Yellow): Highlighted in yellow. Active between 22:00 and 08:00 (LDN timezone) or 18:00 and 03:00 (NY timezone).
Highs and lows for each session are plotted on the chart as lines. Breakouts from these levels can signal important trading opportunities:
London High/Low: Red lines.
New York High/Low: Blue lines.
Asia High/Low: Yellow lines.
The background color also changes depending on the active session:
London: Light red background.
New York: Light blue background.
Asia: Light yellow background.
3. Breakout Alerts
You can set alerts when the price breaks above or below session highs/lows:
Break Above London High: Alert triggered when the price crosses the London session high.
Break Below London Low: Alert triggered when the price falls below the London session low.
Similar alerts exist for the New York and Asia sessions as well.
4. Volatility-Adjusted EMA
The EMAs in this indicator are adjusted based on volatility (ATR - Average True Range). This allows the EMAs to respond to market conditions more dynamically, giving you more accurate trend readings in volatile markets.
5. ZigZag Feature (Optional)
You can enable the ZigZag feature to help visualize the price action's highs and lows:
ZigZag Lines: Highlight major peaks and troughs in price movements, helping you spot trends more easily.
This is helpful for identifying reversals or trend continuations.
6. Fractal Markers
This indicator uses fractals to mark potential turning points in the market:
Green Triangles (Above the Price): Indicate up fractals (potential reversal points where the price could move upwards).
Red Triangles (Below the Price): Indicate down fractals (potential reversal points where the price could move downwards).
Fractals can be a helpful confirmation tool when identifying entry and exit points.
7. Custom Timezone Options
You can choose between London (LDN) and New York (NY) timezones in the settings to adapt the session times to your trading location. This ensures the session high/low markers are displayed correctly for your trading region.
By default, the New York (NY) timezone is enabled for FXCM charts in the UK.
For BTC charts, you will need to switch to the appropriate time zone manually.

Net New Highs CrossoverA lot of traders have a hard time to get in and out of the market at the right time.
Net New Highs of stocks can guide you to increase or decrease your exposure based on the current market health.
They are calculated by subtracting the new highs of the new lows, based on all stocks of the NYSE, NASDAQ and AMEX.
+ A positive value shows that the market is doing good, since more stocks are making new highs compared to new lows.
- A negative value shows that the market is doing bad, since more stocks are making new lows compared to new highs.
Combined with a moving average you can see crossovers that can warn you early when there is a change in the current market health.
Features
■ You can select different Net New High indices or combine them (NYSE, NASDAQ and AMEX)
■ You can specify a moving average line ( SMA / EMA and length)
■ Use single color or two colors for the moving average line to better spot the crossovers
Hints
*New highs and new lows index values currently only get updated at the end of the day
*Only works on daily timeframe
MTF High and Low FractionsMTF High and Low Fractions
Description
An experimental script that prints 1/3, 1/4 and 1/8 levels of the previous timeframe's high and low to the current timeframe. The idea is quite simple. It mirrors the the previous high and low with user selected levels. The default setting is the previous daily high and low but can be customized on user discretion.
New levels are printed after the close of the previous timeframe and open of the new timeframe (user's timeframe setting).
How To Use
Levels should not be used blindly. Levels can be used as confluence when aligned with high probability supply and demand zones, support, resistance, order blocks, and so on.

[TTI] Net New Highs / Lows––––History & Credit
There are multiple methodologies that use Net New Highs for the NASDAQ or NYSE as a market direction indicator. Recently, I saw Matt Caruso to also apply such methodology, so I decided to code this indicator.
–––––What it does
👉 Plots a Net Change histogram. This shows New Highs - New Lows, if the histogram is above 0 this means there are more highs than lows
👉 Plots Background colouring. This is dependant on the sensitivity setting of the indicator. We would require a few days of downward action before concluding a downward action. Sensitivity can be adjusted in the menu
👉 Bot the Histogram and the Background colouring can be turned on and off (as per screenshot example)
–––––How to use it
You can use it to validate if the market conditions are ripe for entering a trade. For instance if you trade long, you would want to confirm with the indicator that general market is facilitating moves to the upside. IBD have mentioned more than once that a stock move is 50% due to the general market move.
MTF Market Structure Highs and LowsThe indicator marks the last fractal highs and lows (W,D,4H and 1H options) to help determine current market structure. The script was created to help with directional bias but also as a MTF visual aid for stop hunts/liquidity raids.
Liquidity areas are where we assume trader's stop losses would be when buying or selling. Liquidity lies above and below swing points and institutions need liquidity to fill large orders.
Monitor price action as it hits these areas for a potential reversal trade.
Michigandolf's 30min Opening RangeThis script plots the 30min Opening Range as well as the previous day's high & low.
Description:
Blue Line = Top of the 30min Opening Range for the session
Pink Line = Bottom of the 30min Opening Range for the session
White Line = Mid-Point of the 30min Opening Range for the session
White Transparent Area = The full range of the 30min Opening Range
Green Line = Yesterday's High for the session
Red Line = Yesterday's Low for the session
Use:
The Opening Range will continue to expand until the first 30minutes of trading has passed, at which point the range will lock in place for the remainder of the trading session. Many traders use these important levels to gauge trade entries and exits (e.g. Mark Fisher's ACD strategy).
This script does not work currently work for futures (e.g. ES, NQ, RTY) due to the session start time. Will configure for futures trading in a future update.
Drawdown over Window (in percentage)Unlike other scripts, which compare against the all time high, this allows you to specify the window over which the high should be searched.
If you want to compare against the all time high, just choose a long enough window.
Swing Failure Pattern Inquisitor SFP Inquisitor
v0.2a
coded by Bogdan Vaida
Code for Swing High, Swing Low and Swing Failure Pattern.
Note that we're still in the alpha version, bugs may appear.
Note that the number you set in your Swing History variable
will also be the minimum delay you see until the apples appear.
This is because we're checking the forward "history" too.
The SFP will only check for these conditions:
- high above Swing History high and close below it
- low below Swing History high and close above it
In some cases you may see an apple before the SFP that "doesn't fit"
with the SFP conditions. That's because that apple was drawn later and
the SFP actually appeared because of the previous apple .
20 candles later.
Legend:
🍏 - swing high
🍎 - swing low
🧺 - candle where the last swing was driven from
🍌 - swing failure pattern
🍎🍌 - hungry scenario: swing low but also a SFP compared to the last swing
* Pivot Levels Detector (for H4, D2) [aleeert]Pivot Levels Detector is the script based on idea about breakouts of pivot levels which based on certain numbers of bars used for reaching the target and breakout the level. Working timeframes are H4 and 2D . The script works better with BTCUSD, ETHUSD, EOSBTC, AAPL, TSLA.
No repainting!
The script doesn't use any moving averages or other relative methods which cancel or change data on previous bars. Once the signal is showed it will stay forever.
NOTE: The results from Strategy Tester could slight vary from results you see on the chart. It's because of calculation method used on Strategy Tester, which uses a data from closed bars only, not by target reaching. So the results you see on the chart are more correct.

BKN High Timeframe LevelsThis indicator is developed to mark out yearly, monthly, weekly and daily levels. Allows you to select if you want to plot the open, high or low. Don't really recommend using the indicator for closes as it looks ahead to the current bar so it will just show the current price as the close.
High timeframe opens specifically are great levels to watch for reactions. By request, we've added the ability to plot highs or lows in addition to the opens. If you'd like to see opens as well as highs or lows, you would add the indicator to your chart twice and you have the option to change the color of the lines on the secondary indicator.

One of the only indicators I have on the chart most days
- perfect for naked charting
- quickly helps you to visually identify key areas of interest
An extension of Bill Williams fractals
- aka short term swing points
Allows you to filter for only the most prominent swing points
- you can even overlay multiple swingpoint filters in different colours (as per example chart)
The number (Fractal Periods) is simply:
- the number of less prominent points either side of your swing high/low
- example shown on the chart
Otherwise make a fist
- look at your 5 knuckles
- swing high is your middle knuckle
- 2 lower points either side
Bill Williams Original Fractal:
Fractal Periods = 2
Your Fractal Period for Filtering:
3, 4, 5, 30, 365, etc
Simple, easy, shared to enjoy =)
Highs & Lows of Last [x] Bars===========
Highs & Lows of Last Bars
===========
We have found this indicator invaluable over the past few years - whether you prefer to trade Crypto, Forex, Commodities or something else this indicator could prove really useful. It's always nice to know the highs and lows of the last Week or Month, the problem being the information is only really relevant at the start or end of that chosen time period; throughout the mid-section of that time period the chart will either be displaying irrelevant information or info that has been/is being re-painted. Not good!
Our Highs & Lows of Last Bars Indicator will remove this re-painting problem and display up-to-date information from higher time frames without compromising the integrity of your current chart period.
-----------
Most high & low finder indicators will use, (for example), a 'W' or 'M' as their higher TF to get HTF results - we do things just a little bit differently, it's like this:
Most other High/Low Indicators:
~ MON 1st (get high/low value from 'W' TF) ~
~ MON 8th (get new data and plot from 'W' TF)
etc. - This leads to gaps in the data, re-painting and missing lots of potential mid-week trades.
Our High & Low of Last Bars:
~ MON 1st (get high/low value from LAST 7 DAYS) ~
~ TUE 2nd (get high/low value from LAST 7 DAYS) ~
etc.
This provides a much smoother High/Low plot with more relevant information. You can clearly see areas of support and resistance, updated on the LTF chart using data from a HTF.
Because we've included 2 TF's you can use simultaneously you can see when the lower TF touches the Higher TF this (generally, but not always!) means there's a breakout coming!
Hope this is useful to you guys!
Good Luck and Happy Trading!
The WAD Machine - Bitcoin BeatsHello Hello Hello, and welcome back to Bitcoin Beats!
This is a Conglomeration of different scripts into 1 indicator that shows a bunch of different things.
This is not all my own work but also a mixture of features taken from other useful scripts.
I will say in terms of originality, it takes a certain level of skill to put this together and get it working so I'll take the credit for that.
This script does all that is said below:
- Plots fibonacci zones with adjustable days, weeks, months ect.
- Shows lower highs, higher lows, lower lows, lower highs after recognizing candle patterns(note that this is not predictive, just shows what has already happened).
- Plots a Price Action Channel(PAC).
The candles automatically adjust to the PAC to give Buy and Sell signals on most timeframes.
If the candles are blue, it means buy.
If the candles are red, it means sell.
If the candles are grey, you shouldn't be in a trade.
I will not state the profitability of this method but for this section of the indicator, it's designed for entries.
Exits require a more manual approach using your own trading initiative.
Beginner traders should exit when the channel is hit and the candle turns grey again.
However, more advanced traders can try to use the Fibonacci zones and other features to manage their positions.
- Plots general trendlines automatically with customization of the lines and the length they go for.
- Plots major sloping supports and resistances automatically.
PLEASE TRADE AT YOUR OWN RISK.
Cheers, and good bye, from Bitcoin Beats.
