ATR & PTR TableThe ATR & PTR Table Indicator displays a dynamic table that provides Average True Range (measures market volatility over 1D, 1W, and 1M timeframes), Price trading range (difference between the high and low prices over the same periods) & percentage of the typical range that has been traded. This indicator will help traders identify potential breakout zones and assess volatility across multiple timeframes.
This had been optimized to show ATR and PTR on every time frame. The (1D) represents ATR on whatever timeframe you are currently on.

MA SniperThis indicator automatically finds the most effective moving average to use in a price crossover strategy—so you can focus on trading, not testing. It continuously evaluates a wide range of moving average periods, ranks them based on real-time market performance, and selects the one delivering the highest quality signals. The result? A smarter, adaptive tool that shows you exactly when price crosses its optimal moving average—bullish signals in green, bearish in red.
What makes it unique is the way it thinks.
Under the hood, the script doesn’t just pick a random MA or let you choose one manually. Instead, it backtests a large panel of moving average lengths for the current asset and timeframe. It evaluates each one by calculating its **Profit Factor**—a key performance metric used by pros to measure the quality of a strategy. Then, it assigns each MA a score and ranks them in a clean, built-in table so you can see, at a glance, which ones are currently most effective.
From that list, it picks the top-performing MA and uses it to generate live crossover signals on your chart. That MA is plotted automatically, and the signals adapt in real-time. This isn’t a static setup—it’s a dynamic system that evolves as the market evolves.
Even better: the indicator detects the type of instrument you’re trading (forex, stocks, etc.) and adjusts its internal calculations accordingly, including how many bars per day to consider. That means it remains highly accurate whether you’re trading EURUSD, SPX500, or TSLA.
You also get a real-time dashboard (via the table) that acts as a transparent scorecard. Want to see how other MAs are doing? You can. Want to understand why a certain MA was selected? The data is right there.
This tool is for traders who love crossover strategies but want something smarter, faster, and more precise—without spending hours manually testing. Whether you're scalping or swing trading, it offers a data-driven edge that’s hard to ignore.
Give it a try—you’ll quickly see how powerful it can be when your MA does the thinking for you.
This tool is for informational and educational purposes only. Trading involves risk, and past performance does not guarantee future results. Use responsibly.
Opening Range BreakoutThis is an Opening Range Breakout script. It will plot the opening range high and low (green and red lines, respectively) as determined by the user input (default is a 15 min window from market open, 9:30 - 9:45 am). The time period for the breakout is also configured by a user input (default is from 9:45 am - 2:30 pm).
Alerts are sent for breakouts either above (bullish) or below (bearish) the opening range high and low. An EMA is also used for trend confirmation before sending alerts for breakouts (to avoid false signals).
A bullish breakout is determined by all of the following being true:
- The current price being above the opening range high (green line)
- The EMA trending up (ie the current value of the EMA > prior EMA value)
- The current price is > the EMA
- The EMA is > the opening range high
A bearish breakout is determined by all of the following being true:
- The current price being below the opening range low (red line)
- The EMA trending down (ie the current value of the EMA < prior EMA value)
- The current price is < the EMA
- the EMA is < the opening range low

MA Trend ScoreA Trend Score Indicator inspired by an interview by Navy Ramavat, where I liked the idea presented and decided to publish a script for it.
Disclaimer: I am not associated with Navy Ramavat in any manner.
The goal is to objectify the trend of an instrument and calculate a score which represents the trend strength and direction.
The score is calculated as follows:
If price is > EMA 20 add 1 to the score
If price is > EMA 50 add 1 to the score
If price is > EMA 100 add 1 to the score
If EMA 20 is > EMA 50 add 1 to the score
If EMA 20 is > EMA 100 add 1 to the score
If EMA 50 is > EMA 100 add 1 to the score
If EMA 20 is < EMA 50 deduct 1 from the score
If EMA 20 is < EMA 100 deduct 1 from the score
If EMA 50 is < EMA 100 deduct 1 from the score
The highest score can be 6, and lowest score can be -6
The trend score can be used as per your discretion on the long and short side.
An example of using the trend score on the long side for position sizing is:
100% position size if Score greater than 4
75% position size if Score between 2-4
50% position size if Score between 0-2
25% position size if Score between 0 and -2
0% position size if Score is less than -2
IDX - 5UPThe UDX-5UP is a custom indicator designed to assist traders in identifying trends, entry and exit signals, and market reversal moments with greater accuracy. It combines price analysis, volume, and momentum (RSI) to provide clear buy ("Buy") and sell ("Sell") signals across any asset and timeframe, whether you're a scalper on the 5M chart or a swing trader on the 4H chart. Inspired by robust technical analysis strategies, the UDX-5UP is ideal for traders seeking a reliable tool to operate in volatile markets such as cryptocurrencies, forex, stocks, and futures.
Components of the UDX-5UP
The UDX-5UP consists of three main panels that work together to provide a comprehensive view of the market:
Main Panel (Price):
Pivot Supertrend: A dynamic line that changes color to indicate the trend. Green for an uptrend (look for buys), red for a downtrend (look for sells).
SMAs (Simple Moving Averages): Two SMAs (8 and 21 periods) to confirm the trend direction. When the SMA 8 crosses above the SMA 21, it’s a bullish signal; when it crosses below, it’s a bearish signal.
Entry/Exit Signals: "Buy" (green) and "Sell" (red) labels are plotted on the chart when entry or exit conditions are met.
Volume Panel:
Colored Volume Bars: Green bars indicate dominant buying volume, while red bars indicate dominant selling volume.
Volume Moving Average (MA 20): A blue line that helps identify whether the current volume is above or below the average, confirming the strength of the movement.
RSI Panel:
RSI (Relative Strength Index): Calculated with a period of 14, with overbought (70) and oversold (30) lines to identify momentum extremes.
Divergences: The indicator detects divergences between the RSI and price, plotting signals for potential reversals.
How the UDX-5UP Works
The UDX-5UP uses a combination of rules to generate buy and sell signals:
Buy Signal ("Buy"):
The Pivot Supertrend changes from red to green.
The SMA 8 crosses above the SMA 21.
The volume is above the MA 20, with green bars (indicating buying pressure).
The RSI is rising and, ideally, below 70 (not overbought).
Example: On the 4H chart, the price of Tether (USDT) is at 0.05515. The Pivot Supertrend turns green, the SMA 8 crosses above the SMA 21, the volume shows green bars above the MA 20, and the RSI is at 46. The UDX-5UP plots a "Buy".
Sell Signal ("Sell"):
The Pivot Supertrend changes from green to red.
The SMA 8 crosses below the SMA 21.
The volume is above the MA 20, with red bars (indicating selling pressure).
The RSI is falling and, ideally, above 70 (overbought).
Example: On the 4H chart, the price of Tether rises to 0.05817. The Pivot Supertrend turns red, the SMA 8 crosses below the SMA 21, the volume shows red bars, and the RSI is above 70. The UDX-5UP plots a "Sell".
RSI Divergences:
The indicator identifies bullish divergences (price makes a lower low, but RSI makes a higher low) and bearish divergences (price makes a higher high, but RSI makes a lower high), plotting alerts for potential reversals.
Adjustable Settings
The UDX-5UP is highly customizable to suit your trading style:
Pivot Supertrend Period: Default is 2. Increase to 3 or 4 for more conservative signals (fewer false positives, but more lag).
SMA Periods: Default is 8 and 21. Adjust to 5 and 13 for smaller timeframes (e.g., 5M) or 13 and 34 for larger timeframes (e.g., 1D).
RSI Period: Default is 14. Reduce to 10 for greater sensitivity or increase to 20 for smoother signals.
Overbought/Oversold Levels: Default is 70/30. Adjust to 80/20 in volatile markets.
Display Panels: You can enable/disable the volume and RSI panels to simplify the chart.
How to Use the UDX-5UP
Identify the Trend:
Use the Pivot Supertrend and SMAs to determine the market direction. Uptrend: look for buys. Downtrend: look for sells.
Confirm with Volume and RSI:
For buys: Volume above the MA 20 with green bars, RSI rising and below 70.
For sells: Volume above the MA 20 with red bars, RSI falling and above 70.
Enter the Trade:
Enter a buy when the UDX-5UP plots a "Buy" and all conditions are aligned.
Enter a sell when the UDX-5UP plots a "Sell" and all conditions are aligned.
Plan the Exit:
Use Fibonacci levels or support/resistance on the price chart to set targets.
Exit the trade when the UDX-5UP plots an opposite signal ("Sell" after a buy, "Buy" after a sell).
Tips for Beginners
Start with Larger Timeframes: Use the 4H or 1D chart for more reliable signals and less noise.
Combine with Other Indicators: Use the UDX-5UP with tools like Fibonacci or the Candles RSI (another powerful indicator) to confirm signals.
Practice in Demo Mode: Test the indicator in a demo account before using real money.
Manage Risk: Always use a stop-loss and don’t risk more than 1-2% of your capital per trade.
Why Use the UDX-5UP?
Simplicity: Clear "Buy" and "Sell" signals make trading accessible even for beginners.
Versatility: Works on any asset (crypto, forex, stocks) and timeframe.
Multiple Confirmations: Combines price, volume, and momentum to reduce false signals.
Customizable: Adjust the settings to match your trading style.
Author’s Notes
The UDX-5UP was developed based on years of trading and technical analysis experience. It is an evolution of tested strategies, designed to help traders navigate volatile markets with confidence. However, no indicator is infallible. Always combine the UDX-5UP with proper risk management and fundamental analysis, especially in unpredictable markets.

Supertrend + MACD with Advanced FiltersDetailed Guide
1. Indicator Overview
Purpose:
This enhanced indicator combines Supertrend and MACD to signal potential trend changes. In addition, it now includes several extra filters for more reliable signals:
Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Confirmation: Checks a higher timeframe’s trend.
ADX (Momentum) Filter: Ensures the market is trending strongly.
Dynamic Factor Adjustment: Adapts the Supertrend sensitivity to current volatility.
Volume Filter: Verifies that current volume is above average.
Each filter can be enabled or disabled according to your preference.
How It Works:
The Supertrend calculates dynamic support/resistance levels based on ATR and an adjustable factor, while MACD identifies momentum shifts via its crossovers. The additional filters then confirm whether the conditions meet your criteria for a trend change. If all enabled filters align, the indicator plots a shape and triggers an alert.
2. Supertrend Component with Dynamic Factor
Base Factor & ATR Period:
The Supertrend uses these inputs to compute its dynamic bands.
Dynamic Factor Toggle:
When enabled, the factor is adjusted by comparing the current ATR to its simple moving average. This makes the indicator adapt to higher or lower volatility conditions, helping to reduce false signals.
3. MACD Component
Parameters:
Standard MACD settings (Fast MA, Slow MA, Signal Smoothing) determine the responsiveness of the MACD line. Crossovers between the MACD line and its signal line indicate potential trend reversals.
4. Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Filter
Function:
If enabled, the indicator uses a higher timeframe’s simple moving average (SMA) to confirm the prevailing trend.
Bullish Confirmation: The current close is above the higher timeframe SMA.
Bearish Confirmation: The current close is below the higher timeframe SMA.
5. ADX Filter (Momentum)
Custom Calculation:
Since the built-in ta.adx function may not be available, a custom ADX is calculated. This involves:
Determining positive and negative directional movements (DMs).
Smoothing these values to obtain +DI and -DI.
Calculating the DX and then smoothing it to yield the ADX.
Threshold:
Only signals where the ADX exceeds the set threshold (default 20) are considered valid, ensuring that the market is trending strongly enough.
6. Volume Filter
Function:
Checks if the current volume exceeds the average volume (SMA) multiplied by a specified factor. This helps confirm that a price move is supported by sufficient trading activity.
7. Combined Signal Logic & Alerts
Final Signal:
A bullish signal is generated when:
MACD shows a bullish crossover,
Supertrend indicates an uptrend,
And all enabled filters (MTF, ADX, volume) confirm the signal.
The bearish signal is generated similarly in the opposite direction.
Alerts:
Alert conditions are set so that TradingView can notify you via pop-up, email, or SMS when these combined conditions are met.
8. User Adjustments
Toggle Filters:
Use the on/off switches for MTF, ADX, and Volume filters as needed.
Parameter Tuning:
Adjust the ATR period, base factor, higher timeframe settings, ADX period/threshold, and volume multiplier to match your trading style and market conditions.
Backtesting:
Always backtest your settings to ensure that they perform well with your strategy.
TrendWave Bands [BigBeluga]This is a trend-following indicator that dynamically adapts to market trends using upper and lower bands. It visually highlights trend strength and duration through color intensity while providing additional wave bands for deeper trend analysis.
🔵Key Features:
Adaptive Trend Bands:
➣ Displays a lower band in uptrends and an upper band in downtrends to indicate trend direction.
➣ The bands act as dynamic support and resistance levels, helping traders identify potential entry and exit points.
Wave Bands for Additional Analysis:
➣ A dashed wave band appears opposite the main trend band for deeper trend confirmation.
➣ In an uptrend, the upper dashed wave band helps analyze momentum, while in a downtrend, the lower dashed wave band serves the same purpose.
Gradient Color Intensity:
➣ The trend bands have a color gradient that fades as the trend continues, helping traders visualize trend duration.
➣ The wave bands have an inverse gradient effect—starting with low intensity at the trend's beginning and increasing in intensity as the trend progresses.
Trend Change Signals:
➣ Circular markers appear at trend reversals, providing clear entry and exit points.
➣ These signals mark transitions between bullish and bearish phases based on price action.
🔵Usage:
Trend Following: Use the lower band for confirmation in uptrends and the upper band in downtrends to stay on the right side of the market.
Trend Duration Analysis: Gradient wavebands give an idea of the duration of the current trend — new trends will have high-intensity colored wavebands and as time goes on, trends will fade.
Trend Reversal Detection: Circular markers highlight trend shifts, making it easier to spot entry and exit opportunities.
Volatility Awareness: Volatility-based bands help traders adjust their strategies based on market volatility, ensuring better risk management.
TrendWave Bands is a powerful tool for traders seeking to follow market trends with enhanced visual clarity. By combining trend bands, wave bands, and gradient-based color scaling, it provides a detailed view of market dynamics and trend evolution.
ATR SL and TP with Candle Freeze & DataWindowThis indicator uses the Average True Range (ATR) to automatically calculate your stop loss (SL) and take profit (TP) levels based on the current market volatility and your chosen multipliers. Here's how it works:
ATR Calculation:
The indicator computes the ATR, which measures the average market volatility over a set period. This value helps gauge how much the price typically moves.
SL and TP Determination:
Depending on whether you're in a long or short trade, the SL and TP are calculated relative to the current price:
For a long trade, the stop loss is set below the current price (by subtracting a multiple of the ATR) and the take profit is set above it (by adding a multiple of the ATR).
For a short trade, the calculations are reversed.
Candle Freeze Feature:
Once a new candle starts, the calculated SL and TP values are "frozen" for that candle. This means they remain constant during the candle's formation, preventing them from updating continuously as the price fluctuates. This can make it easier to plan your trades without the levels shifting mid-candle.
Data Window & Labels:
The SL and TP values are plotted on the chart as lines and displayed in labels for quick reference. Additionally, they appear in TradingView's Data Window, so you can easily copy the price numbers if needed.
Overall, the indicator is designed to help you manage your trades by setting dynamic, volatility-adjusted SL and TP levels that only update at the start of each new candle, aligning with your chosen timeframe. Let me know if you have any more questions or need further adjustments!
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
I’d love to hear your thoughts! If you find the Daily Protractor helpful or have suggestions for improvements, please leave a comment or reach out. Happy trading!

# Price Zone Trading System: Technical Explanation
## Core Concept
The Price Zone Tracker is built on the concept that price tends to respect certain key levels or "zones" on the chart. These zones act as support and resistance areas where price may bounce or break through. The system combines zone analysis with multiple technical indicators to generate high-probability trading signals.
## Zone Analysis
The system tracks 9 predefined price zones. Each zone has both a high and low boundary, except for Zone 5 which is represented by a single line. When price enters a zone, the system monitors whether it stays within the zone, breaks above it (bullish), or breaks below it (bearish).
This zone behavior establishes the foundational bias of the system:
- When price closes above its previous zone: Zone State = Bullish
- When price closes below its previous zone: Zone State = Bearish
- When price remains within a zone: Zone State = Neutral
## Trend Analysis Components
The system performs multi-timeframe analysis using several technical components:
1. **Higher Timeframe Analysis** (±3 points in scoring)
- Uses 15-minute charts for sub-5-minute timeframes
- Uses 30-minute charts for 5-minute timeframes
- Uses 60-minute charts for timeframes above 5 minutes
- Evaluates candlestick patterns and EMA crossovers on the higher timeframe
2. **EMA Direction** (±1 point in scoring)
- Compares 12-period and 26-period EMAs
- Bullish when fast EMA > slow EMA
- Bearish when fast EMA < slow EMA
3. **MACD Analysis** (±1 point in scoring)
- Uses standard 12/26/9 MACD settings
- Bullish when MACD line crosses above signal line with positive histogram
- Bearish when MACD line crosses below signal line with negative histogram
4. **Price Action** (±2 points in scoring)
- Evaluates whether price is making higher highs/higher lows (uptrend)
- Or lower highs/lower lows (downtrend)
- Also considers ATR-based volatility and strength of movements
## Trend Score Calculation
All these components are weighted and combined into a trend score:
- Higher timeframe components have stronger weights (±2-3 points)
- Current timeframe components have moderate weights (±1 point)
- Price action components have varied weights (±0.5-2 points)
The final trend state is determined by thresholds:
- Score > +3: Trend Analysis State = Bullish
- Score < -3: Trend Analysis State = Bearish
- Score between -3 and +3: Trend Analysis State = Neutral
## Signal Generation Logic
The system combines the Zone State with the Trend Analysis State:
1. If Zone State and Trend Analysis State are both bullish:
- Combined State = Bullish
- Line Color = Green
2. If Zone State and Trend Analysis State are both bearish:
- Combined State = Bearish
- Line Color = Red
3. If Zone State and Trend Analysis State contradict each other:
- Combined State = Neutral
- Line Color = Black
This implements a safety mechanism requiring both zone analysis and technical indicators to agree before generating a directional signal.
## Trading Signals
Trading signals are generated based on changes in the Combined State:
- When Combined State changes from neutral/bearish to bullish:
- Trading Signal = LONG (green triangle appears on chart)
- When Combined State changes from neutral/bullish to bearish:
- Trading Signal = SHORT (red triangle appears on chart)
- When Combined State changes from bullish/bearish to neutral:
- Trading Signal = EXIT (yellow X appears on chart)
- When Combined State remains unchanged:
- Trading Signal = NONE (no new marker appears)
## Reversal Warning
The system also monitors for potential reversal conditions:
- When Combined State is bullish but both RSI and MFI are overbought (>70)
- When Combined State is bearish but both RSI and MFI are oversold (<30)
In these cases, a yellow diamond appears on the chart as a warning that a reversal might be imminent.
## Visual Elements
The indicator provides multiple visual elements:
1. Zone boundaries as translucent orange areas
2. A single colored line below price (green/red/black) showing the current signal

Composite Reversal IndicatorOverview
The "Composite Reversal Indicator" aggregates five technical signals to produce a composite score that ranges from -5 (strongly bearish) to +5 (strongly bullish). These signals come from:
Relative Strength Index (RSI)
Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD)
Accumulation/Distribution (A/D)
Volume relative to its moving average
Price proximity to support and resistance levels
Each signal contributes a value of +1 (bullish), -1 (bearish), or 0 (neutral) to the total score. The raw score is plotted as a histogram, and a smoothed version is plotted as a colored line to highlight trends.
Step-by-Step Explanation
1. Customizable Inputs
The indicator starts with user-defined inputs that allow traders to tweak its settings. These inputs include:
RSI: Length (e.g., 14), oversold level (e.g., 30), and overbought level (e.g., 70).
MACD: Fast length (e.g., 12), slow length (e.g., 26), and signal length (e.g., 9).
Volume: Moving average length (e.g., 20) and multipliers for high (e.g., 1.5) and low (e.g., 0.5) volume thresholds.
Price Levels: Period for support and resistance (e.g., 50) and proximity percentage (e.g., 2%).
Score Smoothing: Length for smoothing the score (e.g., 5).
These inputs make the indicator adaptable to different trading styles, assets, or timeframes.
2. Indicator Calculations
The script calculates five key indicators using the input parameters:
RSI: Measures momentum and identifies overbought or oversold conditions.
Formula: rsi = ta.rsi(close, rsi_length)
Example: With a length of 14, it analyzes the past 14 bars of closing prices.
MACD: Tracks trend and momentum using two exponential moving averages (EMAs).
Formula: = ta.macd(close, macd_fast, macd_slow, macd_signal)
Components: MACD line (fast EMA - slow EMA), signal line (EMA of MACD line).
Accumulation/Distribution (A/D): A volume-based indicator showing buying or selling pressure.
Formula: ad = ta.accdist
Reflects cumulative flow based on price and volume.
Volume Moving Average: A simple moving average (SMA) of trading volume.
Formula: vol_ma = ta.sma(volume, vol_ma_length)
Example: A 20-bar SMA smooths volume data.
Support and Resistance Levels: Key price levels based on historical lows and highs.
Formulas:
support = ta.lowest(low, price_level_period)
resistance = ta.highest(high, price_level_period)
Example: Over 50 bars, it finds the lowest low and highest high.
These calculations provide the raw data for generating signals.
3. Signal Generation
Each indicator produces a signal based on specific conditions:
RSI Signal:
+1: RSI < oversold level (e.g., < 30) → potential bullish reversal.
-1: RSI > overbought level (e.g., > 70) → potential bearish reversal.
0: Otherwise.
Logic: Extreme RSI values suggest price may reverse.
MACD Signal:
+1: MACD line > signal line → bullish momentum.
-1: MACD line < signal line → bearish momentum.
0: Equal.
Logic: Crossovers indicate trend shifts.
A/D Signal:
+1: Current A/D > previous A/D → accumulation (bullish).
-1: Current A/D < previous A/D → distribution (bearish).
0: Unchanged.
Logic: Rising A/D shows buying pressure.
Volume Signal:
+1: Volume > high threshold (e.g., 1.5 × volume MA) → strong activity (bullish).
-1: Volume < low threshold (e.g., 0.5 × volume MA) → weak activity (bearish).
0: Otherwise.
Logic: Volume spikes often confirm reversals.
Price Signal:
+1: Close near support (within proximity %, e.g., 2%) → potential bounce.
-1: Close near resistance (within proximity %) → potential rejection.
0: Otherwise.
Logic: Price near key levels signals reversal zones.
4. Composite Score
The raw composite score is the sum of the five signals:
Formula: score = rsi_signal + macd_signal + ad_signal + vol_signal + price_signal
Range: -5 (all signals bearish) to +5 (all signals bullish).
Purpose: Combines multiple perspectives into one number.
5. Smoothed Score
A smoothed version of the score reduces noise:
Formula: score_ma = ta.sma(score, score_ma_length)
Example: With a length of 5, it averages the score over 5 bars.
Purpose: Highlights the trend rather than short-term fluctuations.
6. Visualization
The indicator plots two elements:
Raw Score: A gray histogram showing the composite score per bar.
Style: plot.style_histogram
Color: Gray.
Smoothed Score: A line that changes color:
Green: Score > 0 (bullish).
Red: Score < 0 (bearish).
Gray: Score = 0 (neutral).
Style: plot.style_line, thicker line (e.g., linewidth=2).
These visuals make it easy to spot potential reversals.
How It Works Together
The indicator combines signals from:
RSI: Momentum extremes.
MACD: Trend shifts.
A/D: Buying/selling pressure.
Volume: Confirmation of moves.
Price Levels: Key reversal zones.
By summing these into a composite score, it filters out noise and provides a unified signal. A high positive score (e.g., +3 to +5) suggests a bullish reversal, while a low negative score (e.g., -3 to -5) suggests a bearish reversal. The smoothed score helps traders focus on the trend.
Practical Use
Bullish Reversal: Smoothed score is green and rising → look for buying opportunities.
Bearish Reversal: Smoothed score is red and falling → consider selling or shorting.
Neutral: Score near 0 → wait for clearer signals.
Traders can adjust inputs to suit their strategy, making it versatile for stocks, forex, or crypto.
Volume Histogram with ThresholdsVolume Histogram with Thresholds
Description:
This indicator displays a histogram of volume bars with color coding based on customizable volume thresholds. It helps traders quickly identify potential breakouts and breakdowns by comparing current volume against a moving average of past volume.
Features:
Customizable Average Volume Period – Allows you to set a lookback period for calculating average volume.
Color-Coded Bars for Quick Visual Reference:
Gray: Below average volume (low activity)
Blue: Near average volume (normal activity)
Green: Above average volume (potential breakout/breakdown)
Red: Significantly above average volume (high-confidence move)
Plots an Orange Reference Line – Represents the average volume for easy comparison.
Usage:
Adjust "Average Volume Period" to set the moving average length for volume.
Modify "Above Average" and "High Volume" multipliers to fine-tune breakout/breakdown sensitivity.
Look for green and red bars to confirm strong moves in price action.
This indicator can help confirm the validity of breakouts and breakdowns by visually emphasizing volume surges. 🚀
Explanation of Presets in the Indicator
The indicator comes with three user-configurable settings that determine how volume is analyzed and displayed. Here’s what they do and why they matter:
1. Average Volume Period (Default: 50)
This setting controls the number of past bars used to calculate the Simple Moving Average (SMA) of volume.
A larger value (e.g., 100) smooths out fluctuations and gives a broader view of average volume trends.
A smaller value (e.g., 20) makes the average more responsive to recent volume changes.
2. Above Average Threshold (Multiplier, Default: 1.5)
This defines the first level of volume increase that is considered above average.
If the current volume is 1.5 times greater than the moving average volume, the histogram bar turns green.
You can lower this value (e.g., 1.2) to make the indicator more sensitive or increase it (e.g., 2.0) to filter out smaller spikes.
3. High Volume Threshold (Multiplier, Default: 2.5)
This determines the threshold for what is considered significantly above average volume.
If the current volume is 2.5 times greater than the moving average volume, the histogram bar turns red.
This setting helps highlight extremely strong volume surges, which are more likely to indicate high-confidence breakouts or breakdowns.
How to Adjust These Presets for Different Market Conditions
If you trade high-volatility assets, you might want to increase the multipliers (e.g., 2.0 and 3.5) to focus only on the strongest moves.
If you trade low-liquidity assets, you might need to lower the multipliers (e.g., 1.2 and 2.0) to capture smaller but meaningful volume shifts.
Short-term traders (scalping/day trading) may prefer a lower average volume period (e.g., 20) to get faster signals.
By tweaking these settings, you can adapt the indicator to your trading style and the asset you’re analyzing. 🚀
Chop ZonesThis indicator plots two "zones" in the form of shaded boxes, one between PMH and PML and one between PDH and PDL, the area that is shaded more has the highest probability of price action to be "choppy", the lesser shaded area has less probability for "choppy" action whilst outside the shaded areas there is high probability of a trend.
This indicator can be used to determine one of the three types of day:
Chop day
Bullish trend day
Bearish trend day
Chop day example today on AMEX:SPY
Bullish trend day example on NASDAQ:DLTR
Bearish trend day example on NASDAQ:UAL
ALTIN.S1 to XAU/TRY RatioThis script calculates the ratio between the Turkish Mint Gold Certificate (ALTIN.S1) and the gold price in TRY (XAU/TRY). It helps traders track the premium or discount of ALTIN.S1 compared to the actual gold price. The script also includes upper (1.15) and lower (1.00) boundary lines for reference.
Custom Gold Pivot LevelsThis indicator plots custom resistance and support levels based on a central Ziro Pivot Level. The levels are adjusted dynamically based on whether you're preparing for a Buy or Sell trade. The script allows you to set percentage-based levels for both resistance and support, making it a versatile tool for traders.
Features:
Pivot Level: Set the central pivot level (Ziro Pivot) around which resistance and support levels are calculated.
Dynamic Resistance & Support Levels: Input your preferred percentages for Resistance 1, Resistance 2, Support 1 , and Support 2 .
For Buy: Resistance levels are higher, and support levels are lower.
For Sell: Resistance levels are adjusted lower, and support levels are adjusted higher.
Label Display: The indicator will display a Buy label in green above the pivot level or a Sell label in red below the pivot level, depending on the trade type you select.

Pivot S/R with Volatility Filter## *📌 Indicator Purpose*
This indicator identifies *key support/resistance levels* using pivot points while also:
✅ Detecting *high-volume liquidity traps* (stop hunts)
✅ Filtering insignificant pivots via *ATR (Average True Range) volatility*
✅ Tracking *test counts and breakouts* to measure level strength
---
## *⚙ SETTINGS – Detailed Breakdown*
### *1️⃣ ◆ General Settings*
#### *🔹 Pivot Length*
- *Purpose:* Determines how many bars to analyze when identifying pivots.
- *Usage:*
- *Low values (5-20):* More pivots, better for scalping.
- *High values (50-200):* Fewer but stronger levels for swing trading.
- *Example:*
- Pivot Length = 50 → Only the most significant highs/lows over 50 bars are marked.
#### *🔹 Test Threshold (Max Test Count)*
- *Purpose:* Sets how many times a level can be tested before being invalidated.
- *Example:*
- Test Threshold = 3 → After 3 tests, the level is ignored (likely to break).
#### *🔹 Zone Range*
- *Purpose:* Creates a price buffer around pivots (±0.001 by default).
- *Why?* Markets often respect "zones" rather than exact prices.
---
### *2️⃣ ◆ Volatility Filter (ATR)*
#### *🔹 ATR Period*
- *Purpose:* Smoothing period for Average True Range calculation.
- *Default:* 14 (standard for volatility measurement).
#### *🔹 ATR Multiplier (Min Move)*
- *Purpose:* Requires pivots to show *meaningful price movement*.
- *Formula:* Min Move = ATR × Multiplier
- *Example:*
- ATR = 10 pips, Multiplier = 1.5 → Only pivots with *15+ pip swings* are valid.
#### *🔹 Show ATR Filter Info*
- Displays current ATR and minimum move requirements on the chart.
---
### *3️⃣ ◆ Volume Analysis*
#### *🔹 Volume Change Threshold (%)*
- *Purpose:* Filters for *unusual volume spikes* (institutional activity).
- *Example:*
- Threshold = 1.2 → Requires *120% of average volume* to confirm signals.
#### *🔹 Volume MA Period*
- *Purpose:* Lookback period for "normal" volume calculation.
---
### *4️⃣ ◆ Wick Analysis*
#### *🔹 Wick Length Threshold (Ratio)*
- *Purpose:* Ensures rejection candles have *long wicks* (strong reversals).
- *Formula:* Wick Ratio = (Upper Wick + Lower Wick) / Candle Range
- *Example:*
- Threshold = 0.6 → 60% of the candle must be wicks.
#### *🔹 Min Wick Size (ATR %)*
- *Purpose:* Filters out small wicks in volatile markets.
- *Example:*
- ATR = 20 pips, MinWickSize = 1% → Wicks under *0.2 pips* are ignored.
---
### *5️⃣ ◆ Display Settings*
- *Show Zones:* Toggles support/resistance shaded areas.
- *Show Traps:* Highlights liquidity traps (▲/▼ symbols).
- *Show Tests:* Displays how many times levels were tested.
- *Zone Transparency:* Adjusts opacity of zones.
---
## *🎯 Practical Use Cases*
### *1️⃣ Liquidity Trap Detection*
- *Scenario:* Price spikes *above resistance* then reverses sharply.
- *Requirements:*
- Long wick (Wick Ratio > 0.6)
- High volume (Volume > Threshold)
- *Outcome:* *Short Trap* signal (▼) appears.
### *2️⃣ Strong Support Level*
- *Scenario:* Price bounces *3 times* from the same level.
- *Indicator Action:*
- Labels the level with test count (3/5 = 3 tests out of max 5).
- Turns *red* if broken (Break Count > 0).
Deep Dive: How This Indicator Works*

#### *Test Threshold (5)*
- *Advanced Insight:*
Institutions often test levels 3-5 times before breaking them. This setting mimics the "probe and push" strategy used by smart money.
- *Psychology Behind It:*
Retail traders typically give up after 2-3 tests, while institutions keep testing until stops are run.
---
### *2️⃣ Volatility Filter System*
#### *ATR Multiplier (1.0)*
- *Professional Formula:*
Minimum Valid Swing = ATR(14) × Multiplier
- *Market-Specific Recommendations:*
| Market Type | Optimal Multiplier |
|------------------|--------------------|
| Forex Majors | 0.8-1.2 |
| Crypto (BTC/ETH) | 1.5-2.5 |
| SP500 Stocks | 1.0-1.5 |
- *Why It Matters:*
In EUR/USD (ATR=10 pips):
- Multiplier=1.0 → Requires 10 pip swings
- Multiplier=1.5 → Requires 15 pip swings (fewer but higher quality levels)
---
### *3️⃣ Volume Confirmation System*
#### *Volume Threshold (1.2)*
- *Institutional Benchmark:*
- 1.2x = Moderate institutional interest
- 1.5x+ = Strong smart money activity
- *Volume Spike Case Study:*
*Before Apple Earnings:*
- Normal volume: 2M shares
- Spike threshold (1.2): 2.4M shares
- Actual volume: 3.1M shares → STRONG confirmation
---
### *4️⃣ Liquidity Trap Detection*
#### *Wick Analysis System*
- *Two-Filter Verification:*
1. *Wick Ratio (0.6):*
- Ensures majority of candle shows rejection
- Formula: (UpperWick + LowerWick) / Total Range > 0.6
2. *Min Wick Size (1% ATR):*
- Prevents false signals in flat markets
- Example: ATR=20 pips → Min wick=0.2 pips
- *Trap Identification Flowchart:*
Price Enters Zone →
Spikes Beyond Level →
Shows Long Wick →
Volume > Threshold →
TRAP CONFIRMED
---
## *💡 Master-Level Usage Techniques*
### *Institutional Order Flow Analysis*
1. *Step 1:* Identify pivot levels with ≥3 tests
2. *Step 2:* Watch for volume contraction near levels
3. *Step 3:* Enter when trap signal appears with:
- Wick > 2×ATR
- Volume > 1.5× average
### *Multi-Timeframe Confirmation*
1. *Higher TF:* Find weekly/monthly pivots
2. *Lower TF:* Use this indicator for precise entries
3. *Example:*
- Weekly pivot at $180
- 4H shows liquidity trap → High-probability reversal
---
## *⚠ Critical Mistakes to Avoid*
1. *Using Default Settings Everywhere*
- Crude oil needs higher ATR multiplier than bonds
2. *Ignoring Trap Context*
- Traps work best at:
- All-time highs/lows
- Major psychological numbers (00/50 levels)
3. *Overlooking Cumulative Volume*
- Check if volume is building over multiple tests
Ranked Parabolic Curve Detector (Adaptive + Reversion Aware)The Parabolic Curve Detector is a smart, adaptable trading signal engine designed to help you spot true momentum — not the flashy head-fakes, but sustained, accelerating moves that have the potential to go parabolic. Whether you’re new to trading or looking to sharpen your edge, this tool combines a suite of time-tested and modern techniques into one unified signal, all while adjusting to changing market conditions.
The core idea is simple: detect when price is not just rising, but accelerating, like a curve bending upward. To do that, the script analyzes the log of price and calculates both:
Slope1: how fast the price is moving (momentum)
Slope2: how fast that momentum is changing (acceleration)
Over a user-defined number of bars (which amounts to sensitivity ), the script checks for consistency. So, for example, if both slope1 and slope2 have been positive for 4 bars, that’s a strong signal.
But it doesn’t stop there.
The key is weighted Intelligence
What makes this tool uniquely customizable is that each layer of signal logic is weighted:
Slope1 and Slope2: You can assign how much these matter (e.g., 60% for slope1, 20% for slope2)
Ichimoku Trend Filter: A bullish setup (Tenkan > Kijun) can contribute to the total score
RSI Context: The indicator checks for overextension (RSI > 70 and falling) and mean-reversion potential (RSI < 45 and rising), adjusting scores accordingly
You can fine-tune these weights to match your trading style — whether you prefer to catch early momentum, ride mature trends, or fade reversals.
Finally, there is adaptive Intelligence . This isn’t a static signal. The indicator auto-adjusts its strictness using:
Slope Flip Rate: If price changes direction frequently, the required bar count increases
Volatility (ATR): In volatile markets, the threshold for signal confirmation tightens to avoid noise
You can turn this adaptive behavior on or off. When enabled, it makes the script self-tuning across timeframes — more reactive on clean moves, more skeptical in chop.
How to Use It
Start on a log-scaled daily chart
Enable the indicator and optionally turn on Adaptive Sensitivity
Look for:
Green Circles = bullish signal with favorable RSI + trend
Orange Circles = still bullish, but possibly overextended
For bearish setups, enable Parabolic Drops in settings
I am still experimenting with it, so if you find a better way to use it, let us know!
My suggested tweaks :
sensitivity: 3–5 for normal, higher for stricter
signalThreshold: 0.7–0.85 depending on how picky you want to be
Weights for slope1/slope2/trend
RSI boost/penalty levels
Shaved Candle IdentifierThis script is different because it actually highlights the candle and is not just an icon. It will identify bars that have no wick. Each color represents a different type of candle.
Shaved candles represent major liquidity zones, and tend to get swept in the future.
Shaved candles are useful for spotting reversals and as price targets.
Green is when open = low
Red is when open = high
Blue is when close = high
Orange is when close = low
There is 0 tolerance for any deviation, if the price is 0.001 off, it will not be identified. Only absolutely shaved candles will be identified.
Beep BoopThe Beep Boop indicator is designed to simplify visual trading decisions by combining the concepts of MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence) and a customizable EMA trend filter. It provides clear visual cues to help traders quickly assess market momentum and the current trend direction.
### What Makes Beep Boop Unique?
This indicator uniquely modifies the standard MACD histogram to create a simplified binary visualization—highlighting either bullish or bearish momentum clearly. Rather than displaying traditional MACD bars of varying sizes, it assigns fixed positive or negative values to simplify interpretation:
- A positive histogram (fixed at 0.1) indicates bullish momentum.
- A negative histogram (fixed at 0.09) indicates bearish momentum.
Additionally, Beep Boop integrates a configurable EMA (Exponential Moving Average) to filter signals, allowing traders to identify stronger directional moves by comparing the current price action with the EMA trend line:
- Bullish bars (green) appear only when price action is above the EMA.
- Bearish bars (red) appear only when price action is below the EMA.
- Neutral bars (white) appear when price action is uncertain or mixed in relation to the EMA.
### How to Use Beep Boop?
1. Fast and Slow Lengths: Adjust these to configure the MACD calculation for different timeframes or market volatility.
2. EMA Trend: Change this parameter to fine-tune the sensitivity of the EMA filter based on your preferred trading style (short-term, swing, or long-term).
3. Simple or Exponential MA: Toggle between SMA (Simple Moving Average) or EMA calculations to personalize the responsiveness of the MACD and signal lines.
### Recommended Applications
- Trend-following strategies: Clearly identifies market direction for entries and exits.
- Momentum Trading: Provides simple momentum confirmation for scalping and short-term trading.
- Market Screening: Quickly filters assets based on bullish or bearish momentum strength.
This indicator offers traders a clean, straightforward method to gauge market conditions at a glance, simplifying the complexity inherent in traditional momentum and trend indicators.
Happy Trading!
