Chop and Trend Index (CTI)The Chop and Trend Index (CTI) is a unique indicator that provides a different perspective on market conditions compared to traditional oscillators. It is designed to identify periods of market chop and strong trends, and it does so by combining two key components: the number of halfback taps and the strength of the trend.
The CTI is calculated by first determining the number of halfback taps over a user-defined length of time. A halfback tap occurs when the high or low of a bar reaches the midpoint (halfback level) of the previous bar. This is a measure of market chop: the more halfback taps, the choppier the market. The fewer halfback taps, the stronger the trend.
The strength of the trend is determined using the Average Directional Index (ADX), a popular trend strength indicator. The ADX is calculated based on the directional movement of the market, with higher values indicating stronger trends.
The CTI combines these two components by multiplying the normalized number of halfback taps by the ADX value. This results in an indicator that rises during strong trends with few halfback taps (either up or down) and falls during periods of market chop.
The CTI is not a directional indicator. Unlike the Relative Strength Index (RSI) or other oscillators, high values do not indicate overbought conditions, and low values do not indicate oversold conditions. Instead, high values indicate a strong trend (and possibly trend exhaustion), while low values indicate strong chop (and possibly an impending breakout in either direction).
The CTI can be used on any market and any timeframe, but it may be particularly useful on longer timeframes where periods of chop and trend are more pronounced.
The CTI includes several user inputs :
Length : This determines the number of bars over which the number of halfback taps is calculated. Increasing this value will make the CTI less sensitive to recent market conditions, while decreasing it will make the CTI more sensitive.
Normalization Window Length : This determines the number of bars over which the CTI is normalized. The CTI is normalized to a scale of 0 to 100 to make it easier to compare across different markets and timeframes.
Chop Threshold : This is the CTI value below which an alert will be triggered indicating a period of severe chop. This could signal an impending breakout and potential upcoming volatility.
Trend Exhaustion Threshold : This is the CTI value above which an alert will be triggered indicating potential trend exhaustion. This could signal a possible mean reversion.
The CTI also includes four colored threshold lines at 10, 25, 75, and 90. These thresholds can be used as a guide to identify periods of chop and trend. For example, CTI values below 10 or above 90 could indicate extreme conditions.
The CTI provides two alert conditions :
Low Threshold Crossed : This alert is triggered when the CTI falls below the user-defined Chop Threshold. This could signal a period of severe chop and the potential for upcoming volatility.
High Threshold Crossed : This alert is triggered when the CTI rises above the user-defined Trend Exhaustion Threshold. This could signal potential trend exhaustion and the possibility of mean reversion.
In conclusion, the CTI is a unique and versatile indicator that can provide valuable insights into market conditions. By identifying periods of chop and trend, it can help traders anticipate potential breakouts and reversals, and adjust their strategies accordingly.

Scalping Strategy (5min)This indicator is designed for scalping strategies on a 5-minute timeframe. It generates signals based on two RSI crossovers and incorporates moving averages to identify trends. Additionally, a Bollinger Band is included to eliminate the need for an additional Bollinger Band on the chart.
Please note that this indicator does not guarantee 100% accurate signals and may produce false signals. It is recommended to use this indicator in conjunction with other indicators such as Stochastic, MACD, SuperTrend, or any other suitable indicators to enhance the accuracy of trading decisions.
1) Signal Generation: The indicator generates buy and sell signals based on two RSI crossovers. A buy signal is generated when the fast RSI crosses above the slow RSI, indicating potential bullish momentum. Conversely, a sell signal is generated when the fast RSI crosses below the slow RSI, suggesting potential bearish momentum.
2) To adjust the indicator to your specific chart and trading preferences, you have the flexibility to modify the RSI and moving average (MA) values. By changing the RSI values (slow RSI length and fast RSI length), you can fine-tune the sensitivity of the RSI crossovers to suit different timeframes and market conditions. Similarly, adjusting the MA values (slow MA period and fast MA period) allows you to adapt the indicator to the desired trend identification and short-term trend confirmation.
3) Pay attention to trades that are confirmed by the short-term moving average (MA) aligning with the desired direction. For buy signals, ensure that the short MA is tending upward, indicating a potential uptrend. For sell signals, confirm that the short MA is trending downward, suggesting a potential downtrend.
4) Moving Averages: The indicator uses a 200-period moving average (MA) to identify the overall trend and a short-term MA for additional confirmation.
5) Bollinger Band: The included Bollinger Band is not directly used in the indicator's calculations. However, it is provided for convenience so that users don't need to add another Bollinger Band to their chart separately.
6) Exercise caution when the short MA is below the 200-period MA but showing signs of attempting an upward move. These situations may indicate a potential reversal or consolidation, and it is advisable to avoid taking trades solely based on the 200-period MA crossover in such cases.
Remember that these guidelines are intended to provide additional insights and should be used in combination with your trading judgment and analysis.
Damage Indicator by Scipio ProScipio Pro's Damage Indicator detects strong momentum on tops and bottoms. It is intended for swing trading.
The script analyzes both recent and less-recent price action and performs candle stick analysis. It also uses SDs and multiple Bollinger Bands to find dynamic levels for entries.
A Bears Damaged signal emerges whenever there is convincing proof of strength at a bottom. Often, when the market reverses quickly, traders are caught offside and are forced to buy higher. The reverse goes for Bulls Damaged signals, which mean there is convincing proof of bearish strength at a (local?) top.
Whether the move gets legs depends in large part on the structure in which the show of momentum takes place. It is sensible to wonder after each signal whether the market structure (and other relevant context such as the majority of cash having been sidelined) dictates that risk-reward is skewed to the upside or to the downside. If, for example, a Bears Damaged signal emerges on the daily and risk-reward on the weekly is skewed to the upside, go 4x larger (again, just an example). If, on the other hand, the same signal emerges on the daily while the risk-reward is skewed to the downside on the weekly, bet much smaller and tighten your stop-loss. For best results, I suggest you always check one timeframe higher for your long-term risk-reward bias. (No financial advice, of course.)
Under Settings you'll find the so-called Noise Protection , which is switched "on" by default. We recommend you keep this switched on. Noise Protection ensures you do not see Damage signals on timeframes lower than the 4 hour. After all, chasing momentum on low timeframes is a losing game. The amount of noise increases exponentially as you move lower down the timeframes. Again, this indicator is for swing trades. Don't use it for scalping.
It should be useful for all assets, but is of course more useful on some than on others. As with all indicators, signals tend to be more meaningful if the asset in question is at least somewhat liquid, for instance.
As always, use at your own risk. Using indicators is no substitute for using one's brain.
Market Order Bubbles + Trapped Positions [Pt]"Market Order Bubbles + Trapped Positions" is a multifaceted TradingView indicator, employing volume data to depict intensified market activities. By highlighting aggressive buying/selling behaviors, this tool serves as a dependable aid in pinpointing potential trading reversals. Additionally, it proves an effective device for real-time market trend monitoring. The unique ability of this indicator to spotlight 'Trapped Positions'—resulting from such vigorous trading activity—helps identify crucial price levels or ranges that may lead to significant price responses.
Market Order Bubbles
The Market Order Bubbles feature capitalizes on volume data to estimate market orders. High bullish volume is indicative of a surge in buy orders, while strong bearish volume flags an increase in sell orders. These orders are visually represented by bubbles of different sizes, corresponding directly to the volume strength, thus providing traders with an immediate, intuitive understanding of market activity.
Trapped Positions/Zones
The concept of Trapped Positions emerges when sizable buy orders appear during a bearish market trend, or vice versa. For instance, if a considerable sell order is detected during a bullish uptrend, it signifies that those short positions may be 'trapped'. These positions help in plotting potential price range zones. When the price revisits these zones and the market trend maintains its bullish inclination, trapped shorts might opt for liquidation near break-even to mitigate losses. The reverse holds true in a bearish downtrend.
Trend Follower
The Trend Follower feature is a supportive tool that aims to discern price trends, color-coding candle bars for clarity. This function assists traders by presenting a simplified view of the prevailing trend, helping to minimize distractions caused by minor price shifts.
The utility of the Trend Follower is its ability to aid traders in focusing on the larger market direction. It allows traders to concentrate on the more substantial trend and make decisions that align with this broader market movement, rather than reacting to every minor price fluctuation. As a result, this feature may support traders in maintaining their positions for a longer duration, which could potentially enhance their trading outcomes. The Trend Follower, therefore, offers a helpful contribution to a balanced and effective trading approach.
In essence, the "Market Order Bubbles + Trapped Positions" indicator with its Trend Follower feature provides traders with a comprehensive understanding of market dynamics, allowing them to navigate the financial markets with increased precision and confidence. Its unique features, designed to highlight significant market activities and trends, can greatly aid in refining trading strategies, making it a potentially invaluable tool in a trader's arsenal.
Excess Invites Punishment (EIP) by Scipio ProScipio Pro's EIP is a reversal indicator. It is based on two types of evidence.
1) Proof of Fatigue -- The move that triggers the signal is losing momentum
2) Proof of Excess -- The move that triggers the signal is excessive
If both are the case, we get a signal.
The script uses standard deviations and Bollinger Bands for measuring excess and the ATR for the Breakout Continuation Protection (see below). For fatigue, the EIP detects divergences from indicators like OBV, MACD, RSI and more. It expresses these with a number. For example, if the EIP detects 9 bullish divergences, it prints the number 9 below the corresponding candle.
Hesitant Buy and Hesitant Sell mean there may have been a breakout recently, as measured with the ATR, meaning there is an increased likelihood of continuation. These can provide good buys or sells but more caution is warranted. You can adjust the so-called Breakout Continuation Protection in Settings. Doing so may lead to either more or less "hesitant" signals.
The signals don't repaint. Of course, the divergences get recalculated as the market evolves, as they should. But signals like Buy, Sell, Hesitant Buy, and Hesitant Sell never repaint.
The EIP is useful on many different time-frames and with many different assets, be they in stocks or crypto. The images below show results from BTC, MATIC, and S&P 500 over multiple years, both on small and large time-frames.
As always, use at your own risk. Using indicators is no substitute for using one's brain.
Benner-Fibonacci Reversal Points [CC]This is an original script based on a very old idea called the Benner Theory from the Civil War times. Benner discovered a pattern in pig iron prices (no clue what those are), and this turned out to be a parallel idea to indicators based on Fibonacci numbers. Because a year is 365 days (nearly 377, which is a Fibonacci number), made up of 52 weeks (nearly 55, which is another Fibonacci number), or 12 months (nearly 13, which is another Fibonacci number), Benner theorized that he could find both past and future turning points in the market by using a pattern he found. He discovered that peaks in prices seemed to follow a pattern of 8-9-10, meaning that after a recent peak, it would be 8 bars until the next peak, 9 bars until after that peak for the next, and 10 bars until the following peak. For past peaks, he would just need to reverse this pattern, and so the previous peak would be 10 bars before the most current peak, 9 bars before that peak, and 8 bars before the previous one, and these patterns seemed to repeat. For troughs, he found a pattern of 16,18,20 which follows the same logic, and this idea also seemed to work on long-term peaks and troughs as well.
This is my version of the Benner theory and the major difference between my version and his is that he would manually select a year or date and either work backwards or forwards from that point. I chose to go with an adaptive version that will automatically detect those points and plot those past and future points. I have included several options such as allowing the algorithm to be calculated in reverse which seems to work well for Crypto for some reason. I also have both short and long term options to only show one or both if you choose and of course the option to enable repainting or leave it disabled.
Big thanks to @HeWhoMustNotBeNamed and @RicardoSantos for helping me fix some bugs in my code and for @kerpiciwuasile for suggesting this idea in the first place.
Dynamic Fusion Oscillator (DFO)The Dynamic Fusion Oscillator (DFO) is a uniquely crafted trading indicator that amalgamates the power of the Relative Strength Index (RSI) and the Stochastic Oscillator into a single, comprehensive tool. It provides traders with a more nuanced analysis of market momentum and overbought or oversold conditions. The DFO's distinctiveness lies in its ability to leverage the strengths of both RSI and Stochastic Oscillator, offering a more robust reading of market conditions. Moreover, it does so by offering a weighted approach, which combines the standardized values of both indicators. This flexibility in adjusting the weight of each component enhances its adaptability to different market scenarios, making it a versatile tool in a trader's arsenal. The following sections will delve into the intricacies of the DFO, demonstrating its advantages, usage, and applicability across various market conditions.
Differences from Existing Scripts:
The Dynamic Fusion Oscillator (DFO) is unique from other trading indicators as it combines the strengths of two popular technical analysis tools: the Relative Strength Index (RSI) and the Stochastic Oscillator. This fusion results in a dynamic, weighted oscillator that provides a more comprehensive view of the market's momentum and overbought or oversold conditions.
Usage and Market Conditions:
DFO can be used across different markets, including stocks, forex, commodities, and cryptocurrencies. It is designed to perform well in varying market conditions - trending or ranging. However, like any other technical indicator, it is advised to use it in conjunction with other technical analysis tools and not rely solely on it for making trading decisions.
Importance of Combining RSI and Stochastic Oscillator:
The RSI and Stochastic Oscillator are both momentum indicators, but they have their individual strengths and weaknesses. The RSI excels at identifying overbought and oversold conditions, while the Stochastic Oscillator is adept at predicting price reversals. By combining these two into a single oscillator, we can benefit from the strengths of both while minimizing their weaknesses. This fusion results in a more robust indicator that offers better signal quality and reliability.
Input Explanations:
RSI Length : This determines the number of periods used to calculate the RSI. A smaller value will make the RSI more sensitive to price changes, while a larger value will smooth out the RSI line.
Stochastic Length, Smooth K, Smooth D : These are parameters for calculating the Stochastic Oscillator. Length is the observation period, Smooth K is the smoothing factor for the %K line, and Smooth D is the smoothing factor for the %D line.
RSI Weight, Stochastic Weight : These determine the weights of the RSI and the Stochastic Oscillator in the final calculation. Increasing the weight of one will make the oscillator more sensitive to that component.
Standardization Length : This is the number of periods used to calculate the moving average and standard deviation for standardization purposes.
MA Length : This determines the number of periods used to calculate the moving average of the oscillator.
Upper Band Value, Lower Band Value : These set the maximum and minimum values for the oscillator. Signals are generated when the oscillator crosses these thresholds.
Number of periods above the band for alert condition : This sets the number of periods the oscillator stays above the band to trigger an alert.
Alert Conditions:
Alerts are generated under the following conditions:
Bullish Signal : An alert is generated when the Moving Average (MA) crosses above the Oscillator. This can be seen as a potential bullish signal indicating an upward price trend.
Bearish Signal : An alert is generated when the MA crosses below the Oscillator. This can be seen as a potential bearish signal indicating a downward price trend.
Oscillator above/below upper/lower band : Alerts are also generated when the oscillator has been above the upper band or below the lower band for a specified number of periods. This could signal overbought or oversold conditions, respectively. These signals can help traders identify potential reversal points in the market.
These alerts can help traders by providing timely signals for potential trading opportunities. However, they should be used as part of a comprehensive trading strategy that also takes into account other technical and fundamental factors.
Dynamic Action Convergence DivergenceGoodbye MACD. Hello DACD.
The Dynamic Action Convergence Divergence (DACD) indicator presents a unique approach to understanding market trends and potential price reversals. This indicator is distinctly different from the currently published scripts in the following ways:
1. The DACD is rooted in the principles of the Average Directional Index (ADX) — especially as construed by the helpful work of @robertkowalski — but innovates by focusing on the divergence and convergence of the directional movement indicators (DI+ and DI-). This focus offers a more dynamic perspective on price action.
2. The DACD incorporates a histogram representation of the difference between DI+ and DI-, making it easier to visually interpret periods of divergence (potential reversal points) and convergence (potential continuation points).
3. It further enhances interpretation by applying a familiar color scheme to the histogram, allowing for an immediate visual understanding of the trend direction and its strength.
4. Unique to the DACD, it scales the difference between DI+ and DI-, applies a moving average, and then represents this as a line on the graph (referred to as "DI+ - DI-"). This line provides a smoothed view of the difference between DI+ and DI-, offering additional insight into the trend's characteristics.
5. Finally, a second moving average is calculated over the "DI+ - DI-" line, creating a signal line akin to the MACD's signal line. This signal line provides a benchmark to the "DI+ - DI-" line, indicating potential points of trend exhaustion and reversal.
The DACD can be used across various markets, including equities, commodities, forex, and cryptocurrencies, making it a versatile tool for any trader's arsenal. As with any technical indicator, the DACD should be used in conjunction with other indicators and forms of analysis to confirm signals and make more informed trading decisions.
The DACD excels in trending markets where it can highlight potential continuation and reversal points. However, during periods of consolidation or sideways moving markets, the DACD may provide less reliable signals. Therefore, it's essential to consider the overall market context when using the DACD.
The originality of the DACD lies in its novel application of the concepts from the ADX, its unique presentation style, and the additional moving averages applied to the difference between DI+ and DI-. These factors contribute to a unique trading indicator that stands apart from the crowd and offers new opportunities for technical analysis.

POSTSCRIPT: DACD VS MACD
Goodbye MACD. Hello DACD.
The MACD and DACD, while visually similar due to the familiar color scheme, are fundamentally different in their logic and data processing.
MACD is a trend-following momentum indicator, using the relationship between two moving averages of a security’s price. Its color scheme is well-recognized, assisting traders in quickly interpreting market momentum and potential trend shifts.
On the other hand, DACD, while maintaining a similar visual style for ease of adoption, is rooted in the principles of the Average Directional Index (ADX). It focuses on the divergence and convergence of the directional movement indicators (DI+ and DI-), providing a dynamic perspective on price action.
The familiar color scheme is purposefully used to facilitate easier transition for traders from MACD to DACD, despite their different underpinnings. This allows users to intuitively understand the new indicator while benefiting from its unique insight into market trends.
Trend Reversal Probability CalculatorThe "Trend Reversal Probability Calculator" is a TradingView indicator that calculates the probability of a trend reversal based on the crossover of multiple moving averages and the rate of change (ROC) of their slopes. This indicator is designed to help traders identify potential trend reversals by providing signals when the short-term moving averages start to slope in the opposite direction of the long-term moving average.
To use the indicator, simply add it to your TradingView chart and adjust the input parameters according to your preferences. The input parameters include the length of the moving averages, the ROC length (trend sensitivity), and the reversal sensitivity (signal percentage).
The indicator calculates the ROC of the moving averages and determines if the short-term moving averages are sloping in the opposite direction of the long-term moving average. The number of short-term moving averages that meet this condition is then counted, and the probability of a trend reversal is calculated based on the percentage of short-term moving averages that meet this condition.
When the probability of a trend reversal is high, a bullish or bearish signal is generated, depending on the direction of the reversal. The bullish signal is generated when the short-term moving averages start to slope upward, and the bearish signal is generated when the short-term moving averages start to slope downward.
Traders can use the "Trend Reversal Probability Calculator" to identify potential trend reversals and adjust their trading strategies accordingly. It is important to note that this indicator is not a guarantee of a trend reversal and should be used in conjunction with other technical analysis tools to make informed trading decisions.
Simple Moving Average Slope [AstrideUnicorn]The Simple Moving Average Slope indicator (SMAS) is a technical analysis tool designed to help traders detect the direction and strength of the current trend in the price of an asset. It is also a great tool for identifying sideways markets. The indicator plots the slope of a simple moving average (SMA) of the closing prices over a specified time period. The slope is normalized by dividing it by the standard deviation of the slope over a longer time period.
HOW TO USE
Traders can use the Simple Moving Average Slope indicator in various ways. One common way is to look for bullish or bearish signals. A bullish signal occurs when the normalized slope rises above a predetermined threshold, resulting in the indicator turning green, indicating an upward trend in the market. Conversely, a bearish signal is generated when the normalized slope falls below the negative value of the threshold, causing the indicator to turn red, signaling a downtrend in the market. When the normalized slope falls between the positive and negative threshold values, a neutral signal is generated, indicating that the market is moving sideways. This can help traders avoid false trend signals from other indicators and strategies that may occur when the market is in a sideways regime. Additionally, traders can use the Simple Moving Average Slope indicator in conjunction with other technical indicators to confirm the trend direction.
SETTINGS
Window - specifies the number of bars used to calculate the SMA slope. The default value is 20.
Threshold - specifies the threshold value used to generate the bullish and bearish signals. The default value is 0.6. Traders can adjust these settings based on their trading strategy and the asset being analyzed.
Reversal Points [CC]This original script was created based on a suggestion from @kerpiciwuasile. My original Reversal Points script was removed because I modeled it after an indicator by Demark, but this script will have no such issues. Reversal points are an exciting concept for me because it is such a useful tool when placing trades. This is my first attempt at a new overall layout for my script and I included a bunch of customization so let me know what you think.
My script works by finding lows that are surrounded by bars that have higher lows and highs that are surrounded by lower highs. I use this logic to find short term lows or highs and I use the same concept to find mid-term lows or highs but a mid-term high is a short term high surrounded by lower short term highs and a mid-term low is a short term low surrounded by higher short term lows. And of course this means that long term highs or lows use the same logic to find highs or lows that are surrounded by mid-term highs or lows. I would recommend to buy at the long term low points or sell at the long term high points.
Keep in mind of course that short term highs and lows are very common and reversal points will get rarer as you look for longer term reversal points. I would recommend to experiment and see which reversal points work best for you and of course, know that there is no magical formula to use for all stocks.
Also there are a few scenarios where you want to enable or disable the inside bar setting. You would want to ignore inside bars if the market is currently very volatile or if you are using this indicator on a crypto chart. This is not an exact science but more of a recommendation, so feel free to experiment with it.
Reversal points are crucial for traders as they signal a potential change in the market trend, providing opportunities for entry or exit.
In summary, this code snippet is a powerful tool for traders to detect and visualize reversal points on a trading chart, providing valuable insights into potential trend changes and facilitating more informed trading decisions.
Let me know if you would like me to publish other scripts or if you want me to do something custom for you!
Trend Reversal System with SR levelsHello All,
This is the Trend Reversal System with Support/Resistance levels script. long time ago I published it as closed source but now I upgraded it and and published as open-source with a different name. I hope it would be useful for you all while trading/analyzing.
The script has some parts in it: Setup, Count, SR levels, Risk levels & Targets . Now lets check them:
Setup Part: it has two part, Buy or Sell Setup. one of them can be active only. Buy setup: if current close checks if current is lower/equal than the close of the 5. bar. if yes then the script increases number of buy setup. and if it reaches 9 then the script checks if current low is lower/equal than the lows of last 3. and 4. bars, or if the low of the last bar is lower/equal than the lows of last 3. and 4. bars. if yes then the script increases the buy setup by 1. if these conditions met then it puts the label 'S' , same for Sell setup. S labels on both setup are potential reversals.
Count Part: If buy or sell setup reaches the 9 then Count part starts from 1. lets see buy count: If current close is lower/equal than the low of the 3. bar and buy count is lower than 12 or low of the bar 13 is less than or equal to the close of bar 8 then buy count increase or it's completed. if it's completed then the script puts C label, and it's potential reversal. of course there are some conditions that can cancel the count buy/sell or recycle/restart.
By using Setup and Count levels the script can show Support/Resistance Levels, Risk levels & Targets. SR levels are potential reversal levels.
Lets see some example screenshots:
Support/Resistance levels:
Potential Reversal levels and how setup/counts are shown:
Count part can recycle and the script shows it as 'R' , ( you can see the conditions for Recycle in the script ):
Count can be cancelled and and it's shown as 'x'
If the scripts find 9 on Setup or 13 on Count then it checks if it's a good level to buy/sell and if it decides it's good level then it shows TRSSetup Buy/Sell or TRSCount Buy/Sell and also shows the target. in following example the script checks and decide it's a good level to take long position. it can be aggressive or conservative, Conservative is recommended.
Enjoy!
Deviations from ARL (DARL)Similar to Bollinger Bands, this indicator uses standard deviations but from Adaptive Rebound Lines (See: 'ARL').
The adaptiveness of the 'ARL' is further affected by volatility and helps greatly in spotting the possible strength and direction of rebounds.
All this information is presented with minimal lag thanks to the rebound qualities of the 'ARL' adapting to market volatility.
----- HOW TO USE IT -----
1) Use with 1h time frame.
2) Smaller width typically means that price will be moving is smaller movements.
3) Small price movements while the width is increasing typically means that a large price move will occur soon.
4) Larger width typically means that price will be moving in larger movements.
5) Very large width with sideways price typically means that the price will have a bias towards the center.
Note: A V-Offset of 1 is also a good setting alternative for this indicator.
----- HOW THIS INDICATOR IS ORIGINAL; WHAT IT DOES AND HOW IT DOES IT -----
This indicator has an original, unique ability in anticipating the strength and direction of a price rebound while at the same time showing the bias of the rebound with minimal lag.
It does this by letting the adaptive qualities of the 'ARL' be affected by market volatility, not just by price movement alone.
----- VERSION -----
This indicator is not a variation, replacement, or presentation of the 'ARL' or the 'ARL' Bands -- it merely derives its base calculations for standard deviations from the 'ARL'.
However, this indicator affects the calculations of the standard 'ARL' with volatility and creates a new, unique calculation.
It thus presents a totally different context for price action.
A standard 'ARL' helps in finding possible rebounds but it does not help in finding the strength of them or the directional bias of a rebound.
This is because a standard 'ARL' is more negligent of market volatility and adapts to price movement alone.
In contrast, this indicator does help in anticipating the strength and direction of the rebound because it adapts deviations from an 'ARL' to market volatility.
Therefore, the lines cannot be adjusted individually but in pairs and only further from their respective, mirroring lines.
Sushi Trend [HG]🍣 The Sushi Roll, a trading concept conceived at a restaurant by Mark Fisher.
While the indicator itself goes by Sushi Trend, it is completely backed by the idea of Mark Fisher's Sushi Roll Reversal Pattern. No, it has nothing to do with raw fish, it just so happens that somebody was ordering sushi during the discussion of the idea, and that's how it got its name.
📝 Origin
First mentioned in his book, The Logical Trader --- the idea of the Sushi Roll is to serve as an early warning system to identify reversals in the market. Fisher defines the pattern as a series of 10 bars, split into two different sections, seen as 5 and 5. In order for the pattern to be emitted, the 5 bars to the right must completely engulf the 5 bars to the left. It's not a super complex system and is in fact extremely simple to grasp.
📈 Supertrend Similarities
Instead of displaying the pattern in the way Fisher meant for it to be portrayed (as seen in the photo above), I instead turned it into an indicator similar to that of Supertrend while also inheriting the same concepts from the pattern. I did this because the pattern itself has inconsistencies which can be quite noticeable when trading with it after a while. For example, these patterns can occur even during consolidating periods, and even though the pattern is meant to be recognized during trending markets, the engulfing bars can sometimes be left with indecisive directions.
➡️ The Result
Here is the result, visualized to be better in a trending format. (The indicator will not contain the boxes.)
While Fisher does mention the pattern to include 10 bars, you can actually use this pattern with any number of bars. At the end of the day, it's a concept derived from a discussion at a Japanese restaurant, and a pattern that has been around for years that has seen results. Due to this, I added an input option to control the series of bars for right-bar engulf detection.
To reassure the meaning of the pattern --> "A series of 10 bars" means 5 left bars and 5 right bars. So if you want to check if 5 right bars are engulfing the previous 5 bars (as seen in the photo above), you would want to select 5 in the input settings.
You can learn more about it from the following links
Market Reversals and the Sushi Roll Technique
The Logical Trader
Rainbow Collection - BlueSlopes are an increasingly key concept in Technical Analysis. The most basic type is to calculate them on the prices, but also on technical indicators such as moving averages and the RSI.
In technical analysis, you generally use the RSI to detect imminent reversal moves within a range. In the case of the Blue indicator, we are calculating the slope of the market price and then calculating the RSI of that slope in order to detect instances of reversal.
The Blue indicator is therefore used as follows:
* A bullish signal is generated whenever the 21-period RSI of the 21-period market slope surpasses 30 after having been below it but remains below 35.
*A bearish signal is generated whenever the 21-period RSI of the 21-period market slope breaks 70 after having been above it but remains above 65.
The aim of the Blue indicator is to capture reversals as early as possible through a combination of slopes and entry techniques.
Rainbow Collection - VioletMoving averages come in all shapes and types. The most basic type is the simple moving average which is simply the sum divided by the quantity. Therefore, the simple moving average is the sum of the values divided by their number.
In technical analysis, you generally use moving averages to understand the underlying trend and to find trading signals. In the case of the Violet indicator, we are using a Hull moving average which is a special variation based on different weights to minimize lag.
The Violet indicator is therefore used as follows:
* A bullish signal is generated whenever the close price surpasses the 20-period Hull moving average while the previous close prices from periods were all below their respective Hull moving average of the period.
*A bearish signal is generated whenever the close price breaks the 20-period Hull moving average while the previous close prices from periods were all above their respective Hull moving average of the period.
The aim of the Violet indicator is to capture reversals as early as possible through a combination of lagged conditions based on the Fibonacci sequence.
Reversal PointsHi , in this script i tried to find reversal points on big trends. For this purpose i have used Supertrend and Donchian channels. I combined both in a single indicator for finding reversal points. I am suggesting for using higher time frames like 4 hours or 1 day. It will be work in lower time frames too. But the signals will be less reliable than higher timeframes. Here is settings in this script:
New low sensitiity : this setting for donchian channels lookback. Bigger value result as less signals.
Atr Period: Period for Atr , it is for supertrend indicator in it.
Source: Source for supertrend indicator.
Atr Multiplier : Atr multiplier setting for Supertrend. Bigger value will be result as less signals.

Rails v2Centered around a Variable Moving Average (Rail Line). The Variable Moving Average (VMA) is a study that uses an Exponential Moving Average being able to automatically adjust its smoothing factor according to the market volatility.
In addition to the Rail Line or VMA, the indicator makes use of Bollinger Bands in two ways. First, it displays when the Bollinger Bands are in a squeeze and the potential direction of the breakout. The "squeeze" is the central concept of Bollinger Bands. When the bands come close together, constricting the moving average, it is called a squeeze. A squeeze signals a period of low volatility and is considered by traders to be a potential sign of future increased volatility and possible trading opportunities. The Bollinger Bands are also utilized to highlight when price action might reverse. This signals when price closes outside of the bands, quickly reverts and closes within the bands
The indicator makes use of the Hull Moving Average as a method to quickly capture price action moves thanks to its ability to eliminate lag while managing to improve smoothing at the same time.
Finally, the indicator utilizes Volume Point of Control (VPOC) to determine points in price where the highest amount of volume was traded. Unlike the market profile, the indicator will plot the Volume POC per candle. The script will also plot Trapped Volume. This is important as it tends to serve a signal for reversal. The more price moves away from the trapped volume, Long/Short traders might be forced to cover and price could quickly move away from the area.

Scalp Zones [SI]The Scalp Zones indicator provides traders with visual ranges or "zones" on their charts, which can be used to quickly identify potential entry points for their trades in real time. Once price action enters the designated zone, trade signals and alerts will be generated, making it easier for both scalpers and swing traders to identify promising trading opportunities with greater confidence.
Although Scalp Zones is relatively easy to use, its simplicity is the end result of some interesting and rather complex analysis of price action and market structure.
█ CONCEPTS
Price Action vs Market Structure
For our purposes, “price action” refers to the movement of a security's price over time, whereas “market structure”, which is built upon price action, includes trends and support/resistance levels, breakouts, reversals of trend, etc. All of which can help traders identify potential entry and exit points for their trades.
Scalp Zone
A “Scalp Zone” is an area just above resistance or just below support that is deemed to be part of a trend that is exhausted or part of a “whipsaw” in the price action.
█ FEATURES
Can be combined with other indicators
Scalp Zones displays color-coded rectangles or "zones" that indicate areas of potential volatility, trend reversals and consolidation in price action. These zones can be used in conjunction with other indicators to more effectively identify trade opportunities.
Can also serve as an exit signal
Since Scalp Zones identifies areas where market participants are likely to enter or exit positions, they can offer some traders a way to spot good exits for their trades. For instance, if the price fails to surpass a significant resistance level (identified by a “scalp Zone”) and begins to decline, this may serve as a sell signal for traders who intend to lock in profits on a potential trend reversal.
Automatically adjusts to market conditions
Scalp Zones uses Average True Range (ATR) to dynamically adjust the size of the color-coded zones based on the current market conditions. By factoring in the ATR, the tool can produce zones that reflect the volatility of the market and adjust to changing levels of price movement.
█ LIMITATIONS
The Scalp Zones indicator is designed to provide traders with signals for potential entry points in the market, but it should not be used as the sole basis for making trading decisions. As with any trading indicator, it is important to acknowledge and understand that past performance does not guarantee future outcomes and that several other variables contribute to achieving success as a trader, especially proper risk management.
Return Abnormality Score [SpiritualHealer117]The Return Abnormality Score indicator is designed to help traders identify potential reversals in price by detecting abnormal daily returns beyond a certain significance level. The indicator uses a normal cumulative distribution function to calculate the probability of the daily return and flags it when it exceeds the specified significance level.
Traders can use this indicator by monitoring the abnormality score. If the daily return is negative, the probability is multiplied by a negative number. Therefore, if the abnormality score goes above the positive threshold, it suggests that the price is oversold, while if it goes below the negative threshold, it indicates that the price is overbought. It can also be helpful for spotting bear or bull traps due to their irregular behavior.
Depending on the trader's preference, the indicator can be smoothed or unsmoothed.
This indicator should be paired with other technical analysis tools like SSL Hybrid for trend confirmation, and proper risk management strategies.
Bellcurves (Expo)█ Overview
Bellcurves (Expo) indicator helps traders identify potential tops and bottoms, and gauge market impulses. It provides a clear view of the market by filtering out the noise and highlighting only the relevant information. This makes it easier for traders to identify potential market reversals and key support and resistance levels. With Bellcurves, traders can quickly and easily spot important market impulses.
█ How is Bellcurve calculated?
The Bellcurves indicator achieves this by focusing on the distribution of price data, rather than the individual price points themselves. This approach removes the noise from the data and allows traders to see the underlying price moves more clearly.
█ How to use
The unique perspective that Bellcurves offers can be especially useful in highly volatile markets. By providing a clearer view of the market impulses, Bellcurves can help traders stay ahead of market movements and take advantage of potential reversal setups.
Find Reversals
The Bellcurves indicator shows price areas with a higher probability of a market reversal.
Take Profits
The Bellcurves indicator can be used to identify potential exit points. For example, traders can exit their position when the Bellcurve starts to turn.
Impulses
The height of the Bellcurve determines the strength of the price movement. The bigger the Bellcurve, the stronger the price move.
█ Additional Indicator Features
Pre-Bellcurves: This feature highlights when a Bellcurve is about to plot.
Oscillator mode: Traders can choose to display the Bellcurve as an oscillator.
Momentum Impulse: Displays green and red dots when the momentum gets strong.
Divergences: Highlights divergences between strong market impulses.

Exhaustion Table [SpiritualHealer117]A simple indicator in a table format, is effective for determining when an individual stock or cryptocurrency is oversold or overbought.
Using the indicator
In the column "2σ" , up arrows indicate that the asset is very overbought , down arrows indicate that an asset is very oversold , and an equals sign indicates that the indicator is neutral.
In the column "σ" , up arrows indicate that the asset is overbought , down arrows indicate that an asset is oversold , and an equals sign indicates that the indicator is neutral.
What indicator is
The indicator shows the exhaustion (percentage gap between the closing price and a moving average) at 5 given lengths, 15, 30, 50, 100, and 300. It compares that to two thresholds for exhaustion: one standard deviation out and one two standard deviations out.
Swing Levels and Liquidity - By LeviathanThis script will plot pivot points (swing highs and lows) in the form of lines, boxes or labels to help you identify market structure, “liquidity” areas, swing failure patterns, etc. You are also able to see the volume traded at each pivot point, which will help you compare their significance.
Bars Left-Right
A pivot high (swing high) is a bar in a series of bars that has a higher value than the bars around it and a pivot low (swing low) is a bar in a series of bars that has a lower value than the bars surrounding it. The Bars Left and Bars Right parameters are used to define the number of bars on the left and right sides of a pivot point that the function should consider when identifying pivot highs and lows in a time series. For example, if Bars Left is set to 5 and Bars Right is set to 6, the function will look for a pivot point by comparing the value of the current bar with the values of the 5 bars to its left and the 6 bars to its right. If the value of the current bar is higher than all of these bars, it is considered a pivot high point. These parameter can be used to adjust the sensitivity of the script (lowering the Bars Left and Bars Right parameters will give you more swing points and increasing the Bars Left and Bars Right parameters will give you fewer swing points).
”Show Boxes” - This will draw a box above the swing high and a box below the swing low to help you visualise a large area of interest around swing points. Additional box types and the width of the box can be adjusted in Appearance settings below.
”Show Lines” - This will draw a horizontal line at the level of each swing high and swing low.
”Show Labels” - This will plot a circle at the high point of each swing high and at the low point of each swing low.
”Show Volume” - This will display the amount of volume traded in a given swing point candle. It can help you identify the significance of a given swing point by comparing it to the volumes of other swing points.
”Extend Until Filled” - This will extend the swing point levels until they are mitigated by the price. Turning it off will continue plotting the levels just a few more bars after a swing point occurs.
”Appearance” - You can show/hide swing points, choose the colors of labels, lines and boxes, choose the size and positioning of the text, choose line and box appearance (adjust the Box Width when switching between timeframes!) and more.
More updates coming soon (MTF, more data…)
