Price Action Box RetracementsThe Price Action Box Retracements Indicator offers a fresh perspective on price analysis, departing from the conventional fixed-length lookback period commonly used in trading indicators. This indicator embraces a more flexible and adaptable approach, taking into account changes in price action behavior and avoiding overfitting. With a design philosophy rooted in the principle of "Keep it simple, stupid!" (KISS), this indicator allows users to customize just one variable: Price Box Size.
Imagine the price action as a journey within a box or channel, defined by significant pivots from the past that act as support and resistance levels. The Price Action Box Retracements Indicator visualizes the midpoints between these pivots, representing half-point retracements. By adjusting the "Price Box Size" variable, users can select the size of the price action box that the script will identify on the chart. A larger value will look for a larger box/channel, meaning the price will stay within it for a longer duration. Think of it as switching to a slower timeframe without changing the chart resolution.
The indicator plots a median line within the price action box, which changes color based on the position of the price action within the box. When the price action is trading below the median, the line is displayed in red, indicating a potential for short entries. Conversely, when the price action is above the box median, the line turns green, suggesting opportunities for long entries. An orange color is used when the price action breaks outside the box, signaling the start of a new trend or a measured move where the box size is expected to double.
Sudden changes in the median location are crucial signals that the price action has broken outside its previous box and created a new one. Usually, the price action will attempt to return back and test its old box boundaries or median (support/resistance) before continuing further. If the new box is positioned above the previous one, it indicates an upward channel (uptrend), while a box below the previous one suggests a descending channel (downtrend). A flat median line represents a ranging market, where the price action lacks a clear directional bias.
In addition to the median plot, the script also offers a pivot-anchored moving average, assisting traders in identifying smaller trends and potential entry points within a larger price action box.
Experience a new approach to price analysis with the Price Action Box Retracements Indicator and enhance your trading strategies with simplicity and flexibility.
Pullback
Supply and Demand Daily [LuxAlgo]The Supply and Demand Daily indicator displays daily supply and demand areas on the user's chart. These areas are constructed using the market data within a previous daily interval.
This script makes use of the same logic as our previous Supply and Demand Visible Range indicator .
🔶 USAGE
The supply/demand areas & levels displayed by the indicator aim to provide potential support/resistance levels for users. Supply areas highlight where buyers are willing to exit the market and sell the asset, thus providing resistance and potentially causing prices to reverse or bounce back downwards, while demand areas highlights where buyers were willing to purchase the asset, thus providing support and potentially causing prices to reverse or bounce back upwards.
Historical areas allow the user to study the evolution of supply/demand from one day to another. Wider areas highlight prices avoiding reverting to this area, while thinner areas highlight prices returning more frequently to them.
Trends can be determined by looking at the price position relative to the previous day's supply/demand areas. Price breaking down from the demand zone is indicative of a downtrend, while price breaking above the supply zone is indicative of an uptrend.
Pullback/throwback scenarios can also be common using this indicator.
🔶 SETTINGS
Threshold %: Percentage of the total visible range volume used as a threshold to set supply/demand areas. Higher values return wider areas.
Resolution: Determines the number of bins used to find each area. Higher values will return more precise results.
Intra-bar TF: Timeframe used to obtain intra-bar data.

Pullback WarningThe Pullback Warning indicator is a simple indicator that highlights the potential for a market pullback, by measuring distances between certain key moving averages.
John Pocorobba recently shared in his general market updates, research showing that when the distance between the closing price and the 9 day exponential moving average is greater than the distance between the 9 day exponential moving average and the 20 day exponential moving average a pullback is likely.
While this condition occurs frequently, I added sensitivity options to try and filter out the noise. The sensitivity is based on the closing price’s extension from the 50 day simple moving average. Depending on your level of sensitivity, only signals that occur when price is extended either 5, 6, or 7 percent away from the 50 sma will be plotted.

Extended Price for Pullback IdentifierOverview
This script was created from an idea I saw on one of John Pocorobba's General Market Update videos. In it, he mentions that he's looking for certain criteria to signal that price may be extended and that a pullback may be coming. This script helps to identify those candles. It also goes a step further and identifies if the candle has not only met the criteria but has also has moved at least 1 ATR at the close.
By default, the potentially extended candles are colored gold and the potentially extended candles with an ATR are colored blue. Both are editable as is the ATR length.
There are many ways to fine-tune this script to get it to fit the security in which you're interested and there are some additional niceties to help make the indicator more well-rounded.
NOTE: This script is meant to be used on indexes or index ETF's and only on the Daily timeframe.
How It Works
- Allows the user to modify the minimum distance between the close and the fast EMA to fine-tune the filter (this is one of John's key criteria).
- Ensures that the distance between the fast and slow EMA's is less than the distance between the close and fast EMA (this is one of John's key criteria).
- Ensures that all three moving averages are in the correct order (fast > slow > base)
- Ensures that the candle closed higher than the previous one and can be tuned to identify when price has been in a trend for however many days you want.
- Checks for a fine-tunable gap to help filter out large gap-ups that may be just a breakout or something else unrelated to a potential pullback.
- Plots the moving averages (also editable), if desired.
- Allows the ATR filter to be decoupled from the extended price filter should the trader want to see only the ATR candles.
- Allows the trader to determine if they want to colorize just the up candles or both up and down candles.
Troubleshooting
- If you're not seeing colored candles ensure that the indicator is placed at the top of the Object Tree. You can get there by clicking the icon in the lower-right corner of TradingView that looks like a stack of papers and then dragging the indicator to the top of the list.
- If you're still not seeing colored candles play around with the settings until some start to show up. Depending on the security, some of the settings may need to be very low.
Future Updates & Suggestions
I'm considering adding in a 'Presets' dropdown that will load default settings for certain indexes and/or index ETF's (no individual stocks). If this is something you think would be useful, or if you have some settings of your own for an index or index ETF that you'd like to have added, let me know in the comments below.
Trend & Pullback Toolkit (Expo)█ Overview
The Trend & Pullback Trading Toolkit is an all-encompassing suite of tools designed for serious traders who want a comprehensive trend approach. It empowers traders to align their strategies with prevailing market trends, thereby mitigating risk while maximizing profit potential.
The Toolkit helps traders spot, analyze, and react to market trends, pullbacks, and significant trends. It combines multiple trading methodologies, such as the Elliott Wave theory, cyclical analysis, retracement analysis, strength analysis, volatility analysis, and pivot analysis, to provide a thorough understanding of the market. All these tools can help traders detect trends, pullbacks, and major shifts in the overall trend. By integrating different methodologies, this toolkit offers a multifaceted approach to analyzing market trends.
In essence, the Trend & Pullback Toolkit is the complete package for traders seeking to detect, evaluate, and act upon market trends and pullbacks while being prepared for major trend shifts.
The Trend & Pullback Toolkit works in any market and timeframe for discretionary analysis and includes many oscillators and features, but first, let us define what a cycle is:
█ What is a cycle
This involves the analysis of recurring patterns or events in the market that repeat over a specific period. Cycles can exist in various time frames and can be identified and analyzed with various tools, including some types of oscillators or time-based analysis methods.
Traders must also be aware that cycles do not always repeat perfectly and can often shift, evolve, or disappear entirely.
█ Features & How They Work
Elliott Wave Cycles: This is a method of technical analysis that traders use to analyze financial market cycles and forecast market trends. Elliott Wave theory asserts that markets move in repetitive cycles, which traders can analyze to predict future price movement. The core principle behind the theory is that market prices alternate between an impulsive, or driving phase, and a corrective phase on all time scales of trend. This pattern forms a fractal, meaning it's a self-similar pattern that repeats regardless of the degree or size of the waves.
The Elliott Wave Cycle Feature uses the principle of the Elliott Wave to identify trends and pullbacks in real-time.
Ratio Wave Cycle: This method elaborates on the concept of how negative volatility, or the degree of variation in the negative returns of a financial instrument, influences the effectiveness of a relative price move. Essentially, it delves into the relationship between the negative fluctuations in the market and the resulting relative price change, exploring how the two aspects interact with each other.
The central concept is that trends are generally more stable and predictable than rapid retracements. Therefore, the indicator calculates the relationship between these two market movements. By doing so, it establishes a trend-based identification system. This system aids in forecasting future market movements, allowing traders to make informed decisions based on these predictions. Essentially, it uses the calculated relationship to discern the overall direction (trend) of the market despite temporary counter-movements (retracements), thereby providing a more robust trading signal.
Periodic Wave Cycle: Thi refers to patterns or events in price action that recur over a specific time period. Periodic cycles can range from short-term intraday cycles (like the tendency for stock market volatility to be high at the opening and close of trading) to long-term cycles trend cycles. Traders use this to predict future price movements and trends.
By identifying the phases of a cycle, traders can predict key turning points in the market.
Retracement Cycles: Retracements are temporary price reversals that occur within a larger trend. These retracements are a common occurrence in all markets and timeframes, representing a pause or counter-move within a larger prevailing trend. Retracements can be driven by a variety of factors, including profit-taking, market uncertainty, or a change in market fundamentals. Despite these periodic reversals, the overall trend (upwards or downwards) often continues after the retracement is complete.
Fibonacci retracement functions are primarily used to identify potential retracement levels.
Volatility Cycle: A volatility cycle refers to the periodic changes in the degree of dispersion or variability of a security's returns, expressed as a standard deviation or variance. This feature uses both measures.
Strength Cycle: Gauges the power of a market trend and its inherent impulses. This feature offers a broad perspective on the cyclical nature of markets, which alternate between periods of strength, often referred to as bull markets, and periods of weakness, known as bear markets. It effectively tracks the direction, intensity, and cyclic patterns of market behavior.
Let us define the difference between strength and impulse:
Strength: This refers to the power or force behind a price move. In trading, this refers to the momentum or volume supporting a price move.
Impulse: In the context of trading, an impulse usually refers to a strong move in price. Impulse moves are typically followed by corrective moves against the trend.
Pivot Cycles: Pivot cycles refer to the observation of recurring price patterns or turning points in the market. Pivots can be defined as significant highs or lows that act as potential reversal or support/resistance points. Pivot point analysis helps traders understand the prevailing market sentiment. Overall, pivot cycles provide traders with a framework to identify potential market turning points and price levels of interest.

Dual Dynamic Fibonacci Retracement — Long and Short Duration
Title : "The Dual-Dynamic Fibonacci Retracement Script: An Advanced Tool for Comprehensive Market Analysis"
As the author of the "Dual-Dynamic Fibonacci Retracement Script", I am delighted to introduce you to this cutting-edge tool for technical analysis. Unlike conventional Fibonacci scripts, this advanced model incorporates multiple unique features and adjustments that make it a powerful asset for any market analyst. Whether you're dealing with forex, commodities, equities or any other market, this script is versatile enough to enhance your trading strategy.
Uniqueness & Differentiation:
The "Dual-Dynamic Fibonacci Script" stands out by offering two distinct lookback periods. This feature is what separates it from other scripts available in the market. The first lookback period is longer, focusing on capturing broader market trends. The second lookback period is shorter, allowing for a more granular analysis of near-term market fluctuations. This dual perspective provides a more comprehensive view of the market, allowing you to see both the forest and the trees at the same time.
Fibonacci Levels:
While offering the standard Fibonacci retracement levels (0.236, 0.382, 0.5, 0.618, 0.786, and 1.0), the script also gives you the ability to plot 0.114 and 0.886 levels. These additional levels offer an extra layer of depth to your analysis, and can prove crucial in high-volatility markets where they often serve as significant support and resistance points.
Customizable Line Shifts and Extends:
This script provides options for customization of the shift and extension of the plotted lines. This means you can adjust the start and end points of the Fibonacci lines according to your personal trading style and strategy. This level of personalization is not typically available in other scripts, and it allows for a more tailored visual representation.
Flexible Trading Positioning:
Depending on whether the closing price is above or below the midpoint of the pivot high and pivot low, the Fibonacci retracement levels are adjusted accordingly. This ensures the script remains relevant and useful regardless of market conditions.
Clean Visualization:
To prevent clutter and maintain focus on the most relevant price action, the script removes old Fibonacci lines and plots new ones once a new pivot high or low is identified. This clean visualization helps keep your analysis focused and sharp.
How to Use the Script:
To get started, simply adjust the lookback periods according to your trading strategy. If you're a long-term investor or prefer swing trading, a longer lookback period might be appropriate. Conversely, if you're a day trader, a shorter lookback period might be more beneficial.
The "Shift" and "Extend" inputs allow you to control the positioning of the Fibonacci lines on your chart. Positive values shift the lines to the right, while negative values shift them to the left.
You also have the choice to plot the additional Fibonacci levels (0.114 and 0.886) via the "Plot 0.114 and 0.886 levels?" input. Similarly, the "Plot second set of levels?" input lets you decide whether to display the second set of Fibonacci levels derived from the shorter lookback period.
Like any technical analysis tool, this script is most effective when used in conjunction with other indicators and methods of analysis. It is designed to work well in trending markets, where Fibonacci retracements can often indicate potential reversal levels. However, it's always recommended to use a holistic approach to market analysis to maximize the likelihood of successful trades.
Note: the two lines drawn on the chart are there to help the user identify the levels from which the two respective Fib sequences are calculated.
~~~
Input Explanations:
Long Period Pivot High/Low Lookback and Short Period Pivot High/Low Lookback : These settings determine the length of the lookback periods for the long-term and short-term pivot points, respectively. A pivot point is a technical analysis indicator used to determine the overall trend of the market over different time frames. The pivot points are then used to calculate the Fibonacci levels. A longer lookback period will identify pivot points over a broader time frame, capturing major market trends, while a shorter lookback period will identify pivot points over a narrower time frame, capturing more immediate market movements.
Long Period Fibonacci Level Shift and Short Period Fibonacci Level Shift : These inputs control the shift of the Fibonacci levels based on the long and short lookback periods, respectively. If you want to shift the Fibonacci levels to the right, increase the value. If you want to shift the Fibonacci levels to the left, decrease the value. This allows you to adjust the Fibonacci levels to better align with your analysis.
Long Period Fibonacci Level Extend and Short Period Fibonacci Level Extend : These inputs control the extension of the Fibonacci levels based on the long and short lookback periods, respectively. If you want the Fibonacci levels to extend further to the right, increase the value. If you want the Fibonacci levels to extend less to the right, decrease the value. This feature provides the flexibility to adjust the length of the Fibonacci levels according to your personal trading preferences and strategy.
Plot 0.114 and 0.886 levels? : This setting gives you the ability to plot the additional 0.114 and 0.886 Fibonacci levels. These levels provide extra depth to your analysis, particularly in highly volatile markets where they can act as significant support and resistance levels.
Plot second set of levels? : This input allows you to decide whether to plot the second set of Fibonacci levels based on the short lookback period. Displaying this second set of levels can provide a more granular view of market movements and potential reversal points, enhancing your overall analysis.
Trading Zones based on RS / Volume / PullbackThis is an Indicator which identifies different Trading Zones on the chart.
This should be Primarily used for Long Trades.
Trading Zones: and the Reasoning behind them
Long Zone -> One can do a Potential Entry (Buy) when this Zone is identified, but one could also wait for 'Entry Zone' (explained next) for a better Risk/Reward Trade.
Long Zones are identified with the help of Relative Strength and by an Intermediate Top in price.
Entry Zone -> This can be a better Risk/Reward zone to enter positions within the Long Zone.
Entry Zone is identified by a Pullback in Price & Volume contraction after the Long Zone is activated
Warning Zone -> One needs to be careful in this zone, no need to panic, Script will now try to find an Exit when Price Retraces towards Highs.
Warning Zone identifies weakness in the Price using Relative Strength of the current Stock (w.r.t. the Reference Symbol configured) and the severity of Pullback in Price.
Exit Zone -> are found only after transitioning to Warning Zone, this is a Zone which helps in minimising losses after a trade has gone into losses. Exit Zone is identified by making sure a local peak forms in Warning Zone. However, there are instances when Exit Zone detection can get prolonged when a local price peak is not formed soon enough. So one needs to be careful and use other strategies for exit.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What is different in this Script:
The Script uses Relative Strength in combination with Pullback in Price from Highs in a Novel way.
Over-trading is avoided by ignoring Sideways price movements, using Relative Strength.
Only Trending Upward movement is detected and traded.
How to use this Indicator:
Use these 'Trading Zones' only as a reference so it can minimise your time in screening stocks.
Preferred Settings for using the Indicator:
Stick to 1-Day candles
Keep Relative Symbol as "Nifty" for Indian Stocks.
For US stocks, we can use "SPX" as the Relative Symbol.

Advanced VWAP_Pullback Strategy_Trend-Template QualifierGeneral Description and Unique Features of this Script
Introducing the Advanced VWAP Momentum-Pullback Strategy (long-only) that offers several unique features:
1. Our script/strategy utilizes Mark Minervini's Trend-Template as a qualifier for identifying stocks and other financial securities in confirmed uptrends. Mark Minervini, a 2x US Investment Champion, developed the Trend-Template, which covers eight different and independent characteristics that can be adjusted and optimized in this trend-following strategy to ensure the best results. The strategy will only trigger buy-signals in case the optimized qualifiers are being met.
2. Our strategy is based on the supply/demand balance in the market, making it timeless and effective across all timeframes. Whether you are day trading using 1- or 5-min charts or swing-trading using daily charts, this strategy can be applied and works very well.
3. We have also integrated technical indicators such as the RSI and the MA / VWAP crossover into this strategy to identify low-risk pullback entries in the context of confirmed uptrends. By doing so, the risk profile of this strategy and drawdowns are being reduced to an absolute minimum.
Minervini’s Trend-Template and the ‘Stage-Analysis’ of the Markets
This strategy is a so-called 'long-only' strategy. This means that we only take long positions, short positions are not considered.
The best market environment for such strategies are periods of stable upward trends in the so-called stage 2 - uptrend.
In stable upward trends, we increase our market exposure and risk.
In sideways markets and downward trends or bear markets, we reduce our exposure very quickly or go 100% to cash and wait for the markets to recover and improve. This allows us to avoid major losses and drawdowns.
This simple rule gives us a significant advantage over most undisciplined traders and amateurs!
'The Trend is your Friend'. This is a very old but true quote.
What's behind it???
• 98% of stocks made their biggest gains in a Phase 2 upward trend.
• If a stock is in a stable uptrend, this is evidence that larger institutions are buying the stock sustainably.
• By focusing on stocks that are in a stable uptrend, the chances of profit are significantly increased.
• In a stable uptrend, investors know exactly what to expect from further price developments. This makes it possible to locate low-risk entry points.
The goal is not to buy at the lowest price – the goal is to buy at the right price!
Each stock goes through the same maturity cycle – it starts at stage 1 and ends at stage 4
Stage 1 – Neglect Phase – Consolidation
Stage 2 – Progressive Phase – Accumulation
Stage 3 – Topping Phase – Distribution
Stage 4 – Downtrend – Capitulation
This strategy focuses on identifying stocks in confirmed stage 2 uptrends. This in itself gives us an advantage over long-term investors and less professional traders.
By focusing on stocks in a stage 2 uptrend, we avoid losses in downtrends (stage 4) or less profitable consolidation phases (stages 1 and 3). We are fully invested and put our money to work for us, and we are fully invested when stocks are in their stage 2 uptrends.
But how can we use technical chart analysis to find stocks that are in a stable stage 2 uptrend?
Mark Minervini has developed the so-called 'trend template' for this purpose. This is an essential part of our JS-TechTrading pullback strategy. For our watchlists, only those individual values that meet the tough requirements of Minervini's trend template are eligible.
The Trend Template
• 200d MA increasing over a period of at least 1 month, better 4-5 months or longer
• 150d MA above 200d MA
• 50d MA above 150d MA and 200d MA
• Course above 50d MA, 150d MA and 200d MA
• Ideally, the 50d MA is increasing over at least 1 month
• Price at least 25% above the 52w low
• Price within 25% of 52w high
• High relative strength according to IBD.
NOTE: In this basic version of the script, the Trend-Template has to be used as a separate indicator on TradingView (Public Trend-Template indicators are available in TradingView – community scripts). It is recommended to only execute buy signals in case the stock or financial security is in a stage 2 uptrend, which means that the criteria of the trend-template are fulfilled.
This strategy can be applied to all timeframes from 5 min to daily.
The VWAP Momentum-Pullback Strategy
For the JS-TechTrading VWAP Momentum-Pullback Strategy, only stocks and other financial instruments that meet the selected criteria of Mark Minervini's trend template are recommended for algorithmic trading with this startegy.
A further prerequisite for generating a buy signals is that the individual value is in a short-term oversold state (RSI).
When the selling pressure is over and the continuation of the uptrend can be confirmed by the MA / VWAP crossover after reaching a price low, a buy signal is issued by this strategy.
Stop-loss limits and profit targets can be set variably. You also have the option to make use of the trailing stop exit strategy.
Relative Strength Index (RSI)
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is a technical indicator developed by Welles Wilder in 1978. The RSI is used to perform a market value analysis and identify the strength of a trend as well as overbought and oversold conditions. The indicator is calculated on a scale from 0 to 100 and shows how much an asset has risen or fallen relative to its own price in recent periods.
The RSI is calculated as the ratio of average profits to average losses over a certain period of time. A high value of the RSI indicates an overbought situation, while a low value indicates an oversold situation. Typically, a value > 70 is considered an overbought threshold and a value < 30 is considered an oversold threshold. A value above 70 signals that a single value may be overvalued and a decrease in price is likely , while a value below 30 signals that a single value may be undervalued and an increase in price is likely.
For example, let's say you're watching a stock XYZ. After a prolonged falling movement, the RSI value of this stock has fallen to 26. This means that the stock is oversold and that it is time for a potential recovery. Therefore, a trader might decide to buy this stock in the hope that it will rise again soon.
The MA / VWAP Crossover Trading Strategy
This strategy combines two popular technical indicators: the Moving Average (MA) and the Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP). The MA VWAP crossover strategy is used to identify potential trend reversals and entry/exit points in the market.
The VWAP is calculated by taking the average price of an asset for a given period, weighted by the volume traded at each price level. The MA, on the other hand, is calculated by taking the average price of an asset over a specified number of periods. When the MA crosses above the VWAP, it suggests that buying pressure is increasing, and it may be a good time to enter a long position. When the MA crosses below the VWAP, it suggests that selling pressure is increasing, and it may be a good time to exit a long position or enter a short position.
Traders typically use the MA VWAP crossover strategy in conjunction with other technical indicators and fundamental analysis to make more informed trading decisions. As with any trading strategy, it is important to carefully consider the risks and potential rewards before making any trades.
This strategy is applicable to all timeframes and the relevant parameters for the underlying indicators (RSI and MA/VWAP) can be adjusted and optimized as needed.
Backtesting
Backtesting gives outstanding results on all timeframes and drawdowns can be reduced to a minimum level. In this example, the hourly chart for MCFT has been used.
Settings for backtesting are:
- Period from Jan 2020 until March 2023
- Starting capital 100k USD
- Position size = 25% of equity
- 0.01% commission = USD 2.50.- per Trade
- Slippage = 2 ticks
Other comments
- This strategy has been designed to identify the most promising, highest probability entries and trades for each stock or other financial security.
- The combination of the Trend-Template and the RSI qualifiers results in a highly selective strategy which only considers the most promising swing-trading entries. As a result, you will normally only find a low number of trades for each stock or other financial security per year in case you apply this strategy for the daily charts. Shorter timeframes will result in a higher number of trades / year.
- Consequently, traders need to apply this strategy for a full watchlist rather than just one financial security.
SLSMA PullbacksThis script picks up two types of pullbacks using the SLSMA line. The pb1 signal picks up a fast first pullback as price action breaks the SLSMA line. The pb2 signal detects a stronger pivot with the trend. There is an option to filter pb1 signals with trend in the settings. Lower highs and Higher lows are displayed as labels along the SLMSA line. This tool can be overlaid on your chart or over an indicator using it as its external source.
8 Day Run - Momentum StrategyInspired by Linda Bradford Raschke.
Entry criteria:
This strategy is used to capture momentum effects on the daily periodicities. Once prices have had a run of 8 or more consecutive closes above or below the 5-period simple moving average the strategy is primed to trade.
It will then enter a short on the first close above the 5sma after a run of 8 or more closes below the 5sma (it will enter a long when the price closes below the 5sma after a run of 8 or more closes above the 5sma).
Exit criteria:
All trades are exited on the first close back above/ below the 5sma.
Support Resistance with Breaks and RetestsThe Break and Retest indicator strives to provide a visual aid for spotting areas of continuation and pullbacks. Support and resistance levels are drawn out automatically and have sequential conditions in place to determine a breakout following an eventual retest. Additionally, there are methods in place that try and detect liquidation events and still output a retest.
Although there are options to adjust repaint settings, "potential labels" are structured in a way to detect live ongoing retest events and therefore will be the only thing in the script that will be forced to repaint.
🔳 Settings
Lookback Range: Lookback period to trigger a new support/resistance level when pivot conditions are met.
Bars Since Breakout: How many bars since breakout in order to detect a retest.
Retest Detection Limiter: Whenever a potential retest is detected, the indicator knows that a retest is about to happen. In that given situation, this input grants the ability to raise the limit on how many bars are allowed to be actively checked while a potential retest event is active. For example, if you see the potential retest label, how many bars do you want that potential retest label to be active for to eventually confirm a retest?
🔳 Repaint Options
By default, the break and retest system uses the current close value to determine a condition. (Repaints by default)
On: Allows repainting
Off - Bar Confirmation: Prevents repainting and generates alerts when the bar closes. (1 candle later)
Off - High & Low: Prevents repainting, but in return utilizes both the high and low values instead of the close which may yield a higher outcome and inaccurate results.
🔳 How it works
In the background, calculations aren't searching for the perfect retest within the zone but instead focuses its attention towards price fluctuation around the zones. This allows the indicator to yield more results than it would otherwise.
The chart below provides an example of how potential retests are established. These are updated constantly until a retest is confirmed, and deleted if not. If a potential retest is active and the next candle drops below the value when the potential retest was detected, a retest is placed..
🔳 Alerts
Morning Option Pullback IndicatorI designed this indicator to help me identify Option CALL and PUT signals for the QQQ and SPY on the 1 min chart.
Summary of how it works
1. It identifies the Pre-Market channel High and Low and draws green and red lines for the day at these levels.
2. Waits for a morning or afternoon sessions breakout/breakdown of price out of that channel.
3. The buy a CALL or PUT signal is when price pulls back to the EMA Medium line after breaking out of the channel.
4. Settings allow adjusting of when the signal happens
5. EMA Short (5) and EMA Medium (20) must stay apart for a selectable number of bars
6. For a CALL signal, the Price and EMA Medium (20) must be above the Pre Market High line when price pulls back to EMA Medium (20) line
7. There is a selectable adjustment to allow the signal to trigger when the price comes within a close enough range of the EMA Medium and PM High lines
8. There is a TICK.US filter that you can use to only signal a CALL when the TICK.US 10 min chart shows the average of the EMA5 and EMA20 is over 100
9. It has Buy and Sell signal Alerts and user adjustable Stop Loss and Profit Taker settings.
10. EMA Settings are adjustable and can show up to 3 EMA's on the chart. I personally like the EMA5 and 20. Others may use something similar like 9 and 21. It's user selectable.
Ma PullbackThis indicator is based on ema band....
condition for buy =>
1) price should crossover ema band
2) price pullback on ema band but price should not close below lower band
3)after pullback green candle should close above ema band
4)check candle size when its crossing ema band
5)check previous canlde 7 should not touching cloud so (we can reduce range signal)
condition for sell =>
1) price should crossunder ema band
2) price pullback on ema band but price should not close above upper band
3)after pullback red candle should crossunder ema band
4)check candle size when its crossing ema band
5)check previous canlde 7 should not touching cloud so (we can reduce range signal)
this indicator also for education purpuse how we can make pullback condition....
RSI Pull-BackA pull-back occurs whenever the price or the value of an indicator breaks a line and comes back to test it before continuing in the prevailing trend.
The RSI has oversold and overbought levels such as 20 and 80 and whenever the market breaks them returns to normality, we can await a pull-back to them before the reversal continues.
This indicator shows the following signals:
* A bullish signal is generated whenever the RSI surpasses the chosen oversold level then directly shapes a pull-back to it without breaking it again.
* A bearish signal is generated whenever the RSI breaks the chosen overbought level then directly shapes a pull-back to it without surpassing it again.
Market Crashes/Chart Timeframes HighlightThis extremely helpful indicator allows you to highlight 7 custom date-based timeframes on your charts.
The default dates selected are what I consider to be the most significant 7 most recent market declines, including and since the 87 flash crash.
Note: The default dates are approximate but good enough to highlight the key timeframes of these pullbacks/crashes/corrections.
It's simple to use and does exactly what it should.
I created this indicator to make it easier when looking at the overall story of a chart. I found it helpful to highlight these areas to see how a market or equity has responded during these significant market pullbacks.
The highlight alone I’ve found helpful, and it becomes more powerful if you combine it with your own trusted trade system.
Also, to get the most out of using the default dates it’s important to understand the narrative behind each pullback/crash. Here’s the list of what I consider significant pullbacks:
Black Monday - Oct 87
1990s Recession - Jul 90 to Mar 91
Dot Com Bubble - 2000 to 2002 or so
Real Estate 2008 Crisis - I choose 2007-2009 to cover full insider knowledge and aftermath
2016 - 2018 - This isn't seen as a pullback, but I have it as significant because in many markets and equities, this was an almost equal percentage pullback as 2008. See Notes below
2020 Crash - Covid-19 and related shenanigans pullback
April 2021 to August 2022 - I believe we are in a current SHORT cycle so I've highlighted April 2021 as the start of what might be the start of a major decline testing Dot Com or lower levels.
A few notes on the above.
You'll find on most of the pullbacks listed above most equities and related markets behave similarly or have similar patterns.
The 2016-18 pullback is the most difficult to track. For instance, GE in this timeframe had a -80% decline, whereas BA depending on how you want to measure it had a 50-110% gain.
M0PB (Momentum Pullback)Long/short strategy that identifies extreme readings on the rsi as a *momentum signal*, unlike most RSI strategies the script will look to buy or sell the first pullback in the direction of the extreme RSI reading.
Enters positions on the first pullback to the 5ema(low)/ 5ema(high) and exits at rolling 12 bar high/ low. The rolling high/ low feature means that if the price enters into a prolonged consolidation the profit target will begin to reduce with each new bar. The best trades tend to work within 2-6 bars.
Built for use on 5 min intervals on FX, Indexes, and Crypto. Lower than 5 minute time frames tend to be noisier and mean more commissions and a higher risk of slippage so the suggested timeframe is 5 mins.
Hard stop is X ATR (users can experiment with this) from the position entry price. This can be adjusted in user inputs.
There is a lot of slack left in entries and exits but the overall strategy is fairly robust across timeframes and markets and has between 60%-70% win rate with larger winners.
Signals that occur from economic news volatility are best avoided.
Chrtpnk LTF Pullback ScalperINTRODUCTION
I am happy to present the system which I am using for intraday scalps. I have developed this system for my own using, and it has started out as a mere productivity tool. Since I am using more timeframes for the calibration of my scalp entries, I needed a clean, color-based chart tool that relieves me from watching several timeframes simultaneously.
The system has been optimized for entries on the 15-minute chart, providing calibration by following the 1-hour and 4-hour charts in the background.
In this trend following momentum pullback scalping system we are following the trend structure, the multi-timeframe momentum, and we can also add the Stochastic RSI to properly time our entries. Below please find details.
TREND STRUCTURE
The overall trend on our trading timeframe is shown with the assistance of three weighted moving average levels. In line with general MA trading principles, we are looking for the proper alignment of the MA levels, and a correlating price action with our trade. Whenever the short MA is above the middle MA and both of them are above the long MA, the trend is long. Whenever the short MA is below the middle MA and both of them are below the long MA, the trend is short.
MOMENTUM (Multi Timeframe!)
Further to the general trend structure, I am using market momentum to confirm my entries and exits. The most important market indicators to me in this respect are the RSI , DMI and Momentum Oscillator values. A bullish confluence of these momentum indicators are a confirmation for me on a long entry, and a bearish confluence may confirm a short entry.
This aspect is where I believe my indicator is a huge help. Instead of having to check for confluence separately, the indicator is simply signaling confluence by painting the bars, thus providing an easy and quick reading of current momentum.
Even further, the indicator is able to analyize the underlying indicators on three timeframes simultaneously, and paint the candles only in case of total confluence. This has been a huge help in my trading, as it provides me with an immediate MTF momentum reading upon opening a chart.
MY PREFERRED USE OF THIS INDICATOR
I am using this indicator on the 15-minute chart, and I am basically trying to perform trend following momentum pullback scalps. In order to properly time your sniper entries, you may add the Stochastic RSI to the indicator. Here is the strategy:
Long scalp: You are looking for a bullish moving average structure, and you are looking for green candles printed by the Chartpunk Indicator. Green candles mean bullish momentum confluence on the 15m, 1h and 4h timeframes. When you have the bullish ma structure and the green candles, you are waiting for a pullback to the short (yellow) moving average, or to the middle (orange) moving average. The shallower the pullback the stronger the odds. When you see a bounce (trend continuation) and you get also confirmation from the Stochastic RSI, you enter a long scalp.
Short scalp: You are looking for a bearish moving average structure, and you are looking for red candles printed by the Chartpunk Indicator. Red candles mean bearish momentum confluence on the 15m, 1h and 4h timeframes. When you have the bearish ma structure and the red candles, you are waiting for a pullback to the short (yellow) moving average, or to the middle (orange) moving average. The shallower the pullback the stronger the odds. When you see a bounce (trend continuation) and you get also confirmation from the Stochastic RSI, you enter a short scalp.
SUMMARY
This indicator is providing a very clean and quick-to-read outlook of an otherwise rather time and focus intensive study. Instead of checking for confluence of three momentum indicators on three timeframes, you immediately see confluence with the candle paint. The moving average structure is promptly there to confirm the read. The indicator is both a huge productivity help in scouting the market, and an asset to properly time your entries.
EMA + Williams Fractal Pullback [Trading Nerd]EMA Pullback Strategy with Williams Fractal Indicator
Backtesting script that searches for trends (long and short) and a following pullback into the EMAs. It enters on the first Williams Fractal in the desired direction. I found the Strategy on YouTube as a "M1 Scalping Strategy for Bitcoin".
Including fees the strategy is not profitalbe in lower timeframes (at least if not optimized). But it seems to work on higher timeframes as a swing traiding strategy.
Strategy Conditions
Longs:
EMA 1 > EMA 2 and EMA 2 > EMA 3
Number of need to be above the EMA 1
Then a Pullback into the EMAs is required
Enter on the first bullish Williams Fractal
Signal is canceled if the price closes below the EMA 3
Shorts:
EMA 1 < EMA 2 and EMA 2 < EMA 3
Number of need to be below the EMA 1
Then a Pullback into the EMAs is required
Enter on the first bearish Williams Fractal
Singal is canceled if the price closes above the EMA 3
Take Profit
A Risk Reward Take Profit is possible. If you want to use only a trailing Stop Loss, you can set the Take Profit to 'None'
Stop Loss
The default Stop Loss is EMA. If the Pullback has not reached the EMA 2, the Stop Loss is set to the EMA 2. If the Pullback has reached the EMA 2, the Stop Loss is set to the EMA 3.
Other Stop Loss types are available: ATR, HH/LL
Trailing Stop Loss
Available trailing Stop Loss types: ATR, HH/LL. Best practice is to also set the Stop Loss type to the same value.
The Stop Loss is updated if the value from the latest closed candle is greater/less than the previous value for a long/short trade.
Additional
Time Filter: Only opens trade in the defined Session. Open trades are still being closed outside of the Session.
Start Date/End Date: Limits the backtest for the defined Date Range
Trading Days: Only open Trades on the checked Days
Risk % per Trade: If enabled the Strategy uses X% of the capital (defined in Settings -> Properties -> Initial Capital)
Use Compound Interest: If enabled Capital is recalculated for every trade (initial capital + net Profit)
IMPORTANT: For low Timeframes and Markets with tight SL (like Forex) it requires a lower Margin Percent than default. Go to Settings->Properties and lower the required Long/Short Margin. Otherwise Trades might not be considered because of too less capital/marign. Margins can e.g. set to: 2% (Forex), 10% (Stocks), 20% (Crypto).
Channel SurfingThis is my Channel Surfing indicator. It fires Buy and Sell signals based on multiple conditions. You can use EMAs or LSMAs. You will have to check the box of which moving averages to use once you add it to the chart. It plots EMAs or LSMAs using the different sources Close, Low, and High as the channel to surf. It fires a Buy signal if price crosses the channel up and if there is a pullback into the channel followed by a breakout to the upside. It fires a Sell signal if price crosses the channel down and if there is a pullback into the channel followed buy a breakdown to the down side. I find it works great on the 5 minute SPY chart and the 1 minute chart of ES with the default settings when scalping. You are able to switch between 2 different channels using LSMAs or EMAs. The EMAs has an optional LSMA slope filter for getting rid of some false signals. Let me know if you guys find any other settings or ways to use this and as always I hope it helps.

QG-Trend Pullback StrategyI wanted to test the pullback strategy shown by TradePro and 5 minute scalping channels on the YT.
So here it is, worked on USDCHF pair best and not so much on other forex pairs on 15 min or 5 min charts as shown in strategy.
Entry rules for Long:
Price above EMA200 or G channel as trend filter
Donchian trend ribbon in retracement or red in color
Wavetrend cross below a threshold level below zeroline.
Opposite rules for Shorts.
The SL and TP based on the ATR multiplier and a TP as RR ratio to SL.
Attaching the equity curve on USDCHF 15 min chart where it worked best.
VIX - SKEW DivergenceThe CBOE VIX is a well-known index representing market expectations for volatility over the next 30 days.
The CBOE SKEW is an index reflecting the perceived tail risk over the next 30 days.
When the SKEW rises over a certain level (~140/150), that means investors are hedging their exposure with options, because they are worried about an incoming market crash or a "black swan". If that happens when the VIX is very low and apparently there is no uncertainty, this can warn of a sudden change in direction of the market. You will see for yourself that an increasing divergence often anticipates a sharp fall of leading stock indexes, usually within two to four months.
This is probably not very relevant for the short-term trader but mid/long-term traders and market analysts may find it useful to clearly visualize the extent of the distance between the VIX and the SKEW. For that reason, I wrote this highly customizable script with which you can plot the two indexes and fill the space within them with a color gradient to highlight the maximum and minimum divergence. Additionally, you can fill the beneath VIX area with four different colors. It is also possible to plot the divergence value itself, so if you want you can draw trendlines and support/resistance levels on it.
Please note that the divergence per se doesn't predict anything and it's meant to be used synergistically with other technical analysis tools.
