PowerDelta Oscillator [FxScripts]PowerDelta Oscillator
The PowerDelta Oscillator measures real-time buying and selling pressure using the proprietary PowerDelta Algorithm. By quantifying order flow, it identifies whether the market conditions favor bullish or bearish activity, helping traders determine directional bias for both trend and countertrend setups.
Calculation Methodology
The PowerDelta computes the delta (difference) between buying and selling pressure by integrating both price movement and volume behavior rather than relying solely on volume or price-based approximations like other oscillators.
The PowerDelta Algorithm evaluates six core price-volume conditions:
Price advancing with increasing volume
Price advancing with decreasing volume
Price consolidating with increasing volume
Price consolidating with decreasing volume
Price declining with increasing volume
Price declining with decreasing volume
From these conditions, the algorithm derives:
Accumulation vs Distribution phases
Buyer/Seller exhaustion points
Effort vs No Result scenarios (volume pressure failing to move price)
Operational Use
The PowerDelta Oscillator has three operational modes:
Trend
Countertrend
Blended (Trend/Countertrend hybrid)
Trend Mode
In Trend Mode, the indicator plots an oscillator that fluctuates between positive and negative values:
Positive readings indicate dominant buying pressure
Negative readings indicate dominant selling pressure
The magnitude of the reading reflects the intensity of the pressure
Crossovers at the zero line provide directional shifts:
Negative → Positive: bullish transition
Positive → Negative: bearish transition
Additionally:
Sustained positive values indicate control by buyers, long bias is favoured
Sustained negative values indicate control by sellers, short bias is favoured
The magnitude of displacement from zero provides additional confirmation of market strength or weakness
Countertrend Mode
In Countertrend Mode, the primary use of the PowerDelta Oscillator is to locate divergences between price and the oscillator (as visualised on the chart above) which helps traders pinpoint potential reversals
The oscillator is much more sensitive in this mode, making highs, lows and hence divergences, easier to spot
Like Trend Mode, the magnitude of displacement from zero provides additional confirmation of market strength or weakness
The various Analytical Scenarios detailed below provide detailed use cases for both Trend and Countertrend Mode
Blended Mode
To provide maximum flexibility, there’s also a third Blended Mode
This mode combines elements of the two primary modes and can be used as part of a hybrid approach making it easier to spot both trends and reversals
Alternative Source
The PowerDelta algorithm utilises volume data therefore it’s best to use the most reliable source of volume data for the instrument being traded
For instance, whilst XAUUSD provides excellent results with most forex brokers, slightly better results may be achieved using GC futures data which comes direct from the exchange (data package required)
To use a third-party source, select 'Alternative' and input the relevant source
This can also be used as a way to monitor correlated pairs by adding two instances of the PowerDelta to the same chart, selecting pair 1 e.g. EURUSD as the first instance and the correlated pair e.g. USDCHF as the second instance
Thorough backtesting advised
Analytical Scenarios
Accumulation: High positive oscillator readings combined with upward price movement suggest active accumulation.
Optimal strategy: Monitor pullbacks for potential long entries or wait for a divergence with price and potential reversal.
Distribution: High negative oscillator readings with downward price movement indicate distribution.
Optimal strategy: Monitor pullbacks for potential short entries or wait for a divergence with price and potential reversal.
Buyer Exhaustion: Price forms higher highs while oscillator value declines. Indicates weakening buying strength and potential bearish reversal.
Seller Exhaustion: Price forms lower lows while oscillator value contracts. Indicates weakening selling strength and potential bullish reversal.
Effort / No Result (Buyers): Positive oscillator expansion without higher highs indicates aggressive buying without price confirmation, suggesting overbought conditions and a potential bearish reversal.
Effort / No Result (Sellers): Negative oscillator expansion without lower lows indicates aggressive selling without price confirmation, suggesting oversold conditions and a potential bullish reversal.

Reversalpattern
Rally Base Drop Signals [LuxAlgo]The Rally Base Drop indicator is built around the Supply and Demand (SND) concept known as "Rally, Base & Drop" Candles. These candle types are commonly used in this trading approach to identify price structure.
This indicator highlights bars by labeling them as "Rally," "Drop," or "Base" candles. It also identifies specific sequence patterns formed by these candles.
🔶 USAGE
The Rally, Base, Drop candlestick approach is a straightforward method for identifying price action structure.
Candles are categorized into three types, which are then analyzed to understand market structure and Supply/Demand levels.
Rally: Two or more consecutive bullish candles.
Drop: Two or more consecutive bearish candles.
Base: A single bullish or bearish candle that breaks the previous trend.
🔹 Rally & Drop Candles
These candles show clear directional momentum and signal whether demand or supply is dominating. They are helpful when identifying trends, as they highlight strong price movement.
🔹 Base Candles
In most SND strategies, "Base" can have several interpretations.
Typically, base candles represent short periods of consolidation that test the trend before continuation. They can also be found at turning points (tops or bottoms).
For this indicator, a base candle is simply one that does not follow the direction of nearby candles or is where a Drop and Rally meet. Multiple base candles often reflect indecision in the market, suggesting a temporary balance between buyers and sellers.
🔹 Reversal Sequences
Rally-Base-Drop (RBD)
Drop-Base-Rally (DBR)
In Supply and Demand analysis, these sequences are considered reversals. They mark zones where buyer and seller activity has shifted, which can lead to future price reactions. These areas are known as "Supply or Demand Zones" and are often revisited by price, making them useful for trade setups.
🔹 Continuation Sequences
Rally-Base-Rally (RBR)
Drop-Base-Drop (DBD)
Continuation sequences show a brief pause in the trend, followed by further movement in the same direction. In SND terms, they represent zones where orders accumulate before a continuation move. These are typically used to join ongoing trends, as they indicate sustained interest from buyers or sellers.
🔶 DETAILS
🔹 Color Modes
The script includes three color modes. "No Color" is self-explanatory, while the other two options relate to how candles are detected.
A Rally or Drop requires at least two candles to be successfully identified. As a result, detection occurs on the second candle. However, the full Rally or Drop includes both candles.
Two coloring methods are available:
Full Color: Once a Rally or Drop is detected (on the second bar), both candles are colored, starting from the first. This reflects the full pattern.
Color on Detection: Only the second candle (where detection occurs) is colored. This avoids changing past bars and may be useful for live analysis.
🔶 SETTINGS
Sequences: Select which sequences to display on the chart.
Bar Color Logic: Choose the preferred bar coloring method.
Sigma Reversal Print [FxScripts]Indicator Overview
The Sigma Reversal Print is a powerful tool designed for traders who like to trade reversal strategies plus trend traders looking to enter on strong pullbacks. It integrates advanced price action with volume analysis, highlighting areas where a trend reversal or pullback may be in progress, providing insights into where markets may be exhausted or about to surge.
Key Features and Functionality
Reversal Trading: Tailored primarily for reversal traders, the Sigma Reversal Print highlights zones where the market is likely to change direction. While this approach offers significant potential, it inherently carries a degree of risk due to the precision required in predicting market turning points. The Sigma Reversal Print uses advanced methodology to forecast such reversals with a high degree of accuracy.
Signal Generation Based on Reversal and Pullback Zones: The Reversal Print generates signals when price enters specific conditions, representing exhaustion followed by a change in order flow. These conditions allow the indicator to filter out low-probability signals and focus on those with higher potential for a trend change.
Settings
Sensitivity Control: The sensitivity setting allows traders to adjust the strength of the pattern required for a signal to be generated. The scale ranges from 2-10 with higher sensitivity demanding more confirmation, leading to fewer, generally more reliable, signals however backtesting is highly recommended. Adjusting the sensitivity enables traders to balance early entries with signal accuracy, accommodating both aggressive and more conservative strategies.
Customizable Length: The length setting allows users to fine-tune the calculation period, adjusting the indicator’s responsiveness to overall market conditions. Adjusting length allows the Reversal Print to adapt to the user’s trading style and timeframe of choice. Similar to the sensitivity control, the scale ranges from 2-10 with a higher length demanding more confirmation. This can lead to fewer, often more reliable, signals however, once again, backtesting is highly recommended.
Advanced Filters
Opening Gap Filter: Turning this on allows the system to avoid painting false signals that can be triggered by the daily or weekly opening gap at market open. This setting is toggled on by default.
Price Filter: This filter applies an additional weighted price action algorithm to the signal being painted thus further filtering out weaker signals. Warning dots will still paint however the larger break arrow will no longer paint if the filter is triggered. This setting is toggled on by default.
Volume Filter: This filters out low volume entries which have a lower probability of turning into successful trades. Variable from 1-10 with 1 being the most lenient and 10 the most stringent. Warning dots will still paint however the larger break arrow will no longer paint if the filter is triggered. This setting is toggled on by default.
Alerts
Configure alerts and receive notifications when the first warning dot in a sequence appears (the series of dots seen on the chart) and again when a breakpoint is triggered (the larger arrow on the chart). This feature is particularly beneficial for traders who like to monitor multiple instruments or prefer not to stare at a screen all day.
Performance and Optimization
Backtesting Results: The Reversal Print has undergone extensive backtesting across various instruments, timeframes and market conditions, demonstrating strong performance in identifying reversal points, particularly during volatile or overextended price movements. User backtesting is strongly encouraged as it allows traders to optimize settings for their preferred instruments and timeframes.
Optimization for Diverse Markets: The Reversal Print can be used on crypto, forex, indices, commodities or stocks. The Reversal Print's algorithmic foundation ensures consistent performance across a variety of instruments. Key settings such as Sensitivity and Length will require adjustment based on the volatility and characteristics of each market.
Educational Resources and Support
Users of the Sigma Reversal Print benefit from comprehensive educational resources and full access to FxScripts Support. This ensures traders can maximize the potential of the Reversal Print and other tools in the Sigma Indicator Suite by learning best practices and gaining insights from an experienced team of traders.
Summary
The Reversal Print is a powerful and adaptable tool for reversal and pullback traders, combining statistical analysis and price action to identify high-probability turning points. Its advanced customization options, flexible controls and integration with the Sigma Indicator Suite offer significant advantages over standard indicators. By pinpointing precise entry points, the Reversal Print enables traders to make informed trading decisions with confidence.
Silent Trigger Silent Trigger combines widely used concepts under one scoring engine. Each module adds weight only when its conditions are met:
1. Higher-Timeframe (HTF) context
• Requests 1H and the next HTF up (e.g., 4H/D) with request.security(...) on confirmed bars only.
• Uses RSI(14) and a MACD line (EMA12–EMA26 difference) for bias.
• By default HTF weights the score. There is an option to require HTF alignment if you prefer a hard filter.
2. Market regime
• ADX for trend strength.
• Bollinger Band width and a fractal-energy proxy to detect squeeze/coiling vs expansion.
3. Smart-money / Wyckoff structure
• High-volume narrow bars, absorption, spring/upthrust, and liquidity grabs past recent swing highs/lows.
4. Momentum & divergences
• RSI and MACD-line divergences (regular + hidden) and simple exhaustion checks.
5. Fair Value Gaps (FVG)
• 3-bar gap with mid-gap revisit confirmation.
6. Volume context
• Relative volume and a compact 10-bin rolling volume profile to locate HVN proximity.
7. Sessions / time filter
• Optional London/NY “kill zone” participation filter.
8. Correlation (optional)
• Simple BTC trend check for USD-quoted markets.
Pre-Move (yellow) logic:
Triggers only when the market is compressed (squeeze/low fractal energy), ADX is rising, the MACD histogram is near zero (pressure building), and there is a money-flow impulse (MFI slope and/or OBV Z-score spike).
The yellow diamond is plotted on the side of the expected move:
• Below for bullish reversals / Above for bullish breakouts.
• Above for bearish reversals / Below for bearish breakouts.
A built-in cooldown keeps yellows from spamming.
⸻
What appears on the chart
• Bull diamond (green): Total score ≥ your threshold and > bear score.
• Bear diamond (magenta): Mirror of the above.
• Pre-move (yellow): Early heads-up; use it with HTF context and structure.
All diamonds are intentionally tiny to minimize clutter.
⸻
Key settings
• Signal Mode & Min Probability – tighten/loosen confirmations.
• Use Higher TF in Scoring – soft weighting (default).
• Require HTF Alignment – optional hard gate.
• Module toggles – Smart Money, Wyckoff, FVG, Correlation, Sessions.
• Pre-Move – enable, cooldown bars, MFI levels, OBV Z-score threshold.
⸻
How to use (practical)
1. Choose a TF that matches your style (5–15m intraday, 1H–4H swing).
2. Read HTF bias first; trade in that direction unless structure clearly supports a reversal.
3. Treat yellow as “get ready.” Act only when a green/magenta prints with structure (S/R, FVG, HVN) and acceptable risk.
4. Place stops beyond the liquidity level or FVG midpoint; size positions conservatively.
⸻
Repainting & HTF policy
• No lookahead is used anywhere.
• request.security is called on confirmed bars; the HTF MACD line is computed inside the HTF context (single series), not by indexing a tuple.
• Signals are designed for bar-close confirmation. Intra-bar alerts can change until the bar closes.
⸻
Limitations (honest)
• Money-flow features depend on volume quality; thin/synthetic volume reduces reliability.
• Pre-moves can fail during unscheduled news shocks or when HTF trend is dominant.
• This is not financial advice. You are responsible for entries, exits, and risk.
⸻
Alerts
Built-in bull/bear alerts include direction and a probability bucket (Basic/Moderate/Strong/Extreme).
Pre-move yellows are primarily visual; you can still set an alert on their plot condition if desired.
⸻
Why this isn’t a “mashup”
• A single probability engine blends HTF bias, structure (liquidity/Wyckoff/FVG), regime, and volume into a score, rather than stacking unrelated indicators.
• A pre-move detector that requires compression + rising trend energy + money-flow impulse, and places the marker on the side of the expected move, with cooldown control.
• A lightweight rolling HVN check to bias continuation vs mean-reversion near key nodes.
⸻
Changelog (summary)
• Current release: pre-move module, HTF hard-gate option, tiny diamonds, clarified HTF/no-repaint policy, session filter tidy-up.
Vector Sniper Pro What it is
Vector Sniper (Simplified) is a single, original algorithm that flags impulsive “vector” moves only when volatility, volume, and structure align. It is not a mashup of other indicators; everything below is computed from raw OHLCV with a small, transparent ruleset.
⸻
Core idea (signal = force × participation × context)
1. Force (Volatility):
• We z-score true range: trZ = (ATR(1) - SMA(ATR(1), N)) / StDev(ATR(1), N).
• A move must exceed a user-set Volatility Z-Score.
2. Participation (Volume):
• We z-score raw volume: volZ = (Vol - SMA(Vol, N)) / StDev(Vol, N).
• Volume must also exceed a Volume Z-Score.
3. Context (Structure, Body, Imbalance, Traps):
• Body% filter: real body / range ≥ Min Body %.
• Delta-volume proxy: (bullVol − bearVol) / volume, where bullVol = volume*(close−low)/range and bearVol = volume*(high−close)/range. We require positive imbalance for bulls, negative for bears.
• Structure break (optional): price must take out the prior N-bar high/low.
• Trap detection (optional): spring/upthrust patterns defined by lower-low/upper-high followed by a close back inside.
If the above align, you get a Bull Vector (green) or Bear Vector (red). “Extreme” vectors require the same conditions at a higher multiple (Ext Mult).
⸻
Noise control (pre-signal gate)
Before a vector is allowed, a pre-signal score (0–7) must pass:
• Checks include spring/upthrust, no-supply/no-demand, imbalance, volume > average, VWAP side alignment, EMA trend alignment, proximity to structure break, and candle direction.
• You choose a minimum score, persistence (must occur ≥N times inside last M bars), cooldown after a pass, and hysteresis vs the opposite side.
This prevents one-off blips and keeps signals directional.
⸻
Optional confluence
• VWAP alignment: require price on the correct side and VWAP slope with it.
• EMA filter: require EMA trend agreement.
• HTF bias (optional): compare HTF close vs HTF EMA on a selected timeframe.
• Implemented with request.security and no look-ahead; bias updates when the higher timeframe bar closes.
⸻
Visuals & alerts
• Candle colors (5 total):
• Green = Bull Vector, Red = Bear Vector.
• Blue = Pre-Bull, Orange = Pre-Bear.
• Gray = Neutral.
• Markers (optional): diamonds = “Extreme” vectors; small triangles = pre-signals.
• Built-in alerts: Bull Vector, Bear Vector, Extreme Bull/Bear, Pre-Bull, Pre-Bear.
• Add from: Alerts → Condition → this script → choose event.
⸻
How to use (practical)
1. Start with defaults. Turn on VWAP and EMA filters; add HTF bias if you want fewer but cleaner signals.
2. Hunt for alignment: Pre-signal (blue/orange) → Vector (green/red) in the same direction.
3. Use your own risk model for entries/exits; the script does not place orders or compute stops/targets.
⸻
Inputs (plain English)
• ATR/Volume Periods & Z-Scores: sensitivity to volatility/participation.
• Extreme Multiplier: threshold for “Extreme” vectors.
• Structure Break (bars) & Traps: contextual confirms.
• Pre-signal gate: Min Score, Persistence (N in last M), Cooldown, Opposite-side lockout.
• Confluence: VWAP side, EMA trend, optional HTF bias (timeframe + EMA length).
• Visuals: candle painting and markers.
⸻
Design notes / limitations
• Signals evaluate on bar close. Intrabar they can form and cancel; for consistency, trade on closed bars.
• HTF bias is derived from closed HTF bars; no future data is used.
• This is an indicator, not financial advice. Backtest forward and manage risk.
⸻
Why this isn’t a “mashup”:
All components are purposeful and documented: z-score volatility + z-score volume (force & participation), body% and delta-volume (quality), structure & traps (context), and a scored, persistent pre-filter with VWAP/EMA/HTF alignment (noise control).
Gemini All-in-OneDescription
The Gemini AIO (All-in-One) is a comprehensive overlay indicator designed for swing and position traders. It merges three distinct and powerful trading strategies into a single, cohesive tool to identify high-probability setups in stocks that are in confirmed uptrends.
What the Indicator Does:
Combines Three Strategies: Integrates a multi-scanner breakout system, a mean-reversion model, and a multi-year breakout tool into one indicator.
Main Modules
Signals Module:
1. Features six unique scanner signals (CS1-CS6) to identify a variety of bullish consolidation patterns.
2. Includes a full trade management framework with RVC (Red Volume Candle), PBP (Post Breakout Pivot Entry), and ISL (Initial Stop Loss) levels.
3. Identifies powerful Episodic Pivot (EP) and EP Entry (EPE) signals for stocks showing exceptional strength.
Reversal Module:
1. A mean-reversion strategy that primarily uses Bollinger Bands to find oversold conditions.
2. Provides a three-stage signal process: RA (Reversal Setup), Entry 1, and Entry 2 to time entries from a potential bottom.
Multi-Year Breakout (MYBO) Module:
1. Automatically identifies and plots historical, multi-year resistance and support levels.
2. Generates a clear signal when the price breaks out above these significant long-term levels.
Advanced Alerts: Features a highly customizable alert system that can be timed to trigger either on the bar's close or at a specific time of day (e.g., 2:30 PM IST), allowing for end-of-day style notifications.
How to Best Use It:
This indicator is most powerful when used with a systematic, rules-based approach. The core principle is to use long-term moving averages to define the trend and then use the indicator's signals to time entries within that trend.
The Foundation (Trend Filter): The most important rule is to only consider long setups on stocks where the 150-day SMA is above the 200-day EMA, and the 150-day SMA is sloping upwards. This keeps you aligned with the primary uptrend.
Strategy 1: The Momentum Breakout (PBP Entry)
1. Confirm the stock meets the primary trend filter rules.
2. Wait for an AIO setup signal (Super, Pls Buy, etc.) to draw a PBP line.
3. Enter when the price crosses above the PBP line or wait for a pull back after the price has crossed the PBP line.
Strategy 2: The Mean Reversion (RA Entry)
1. Confirm the stock meets the primary trend filter rules.
2. Wait for an "RA" (Reversal Setup) signal to appear on the chart.
3. Enter on the "ENTRY 1" (Risky Entry) or "ENTRY 2" signal (Safer Entry) or wait for a pull back after "ENTRY 1" or "ENTRY 2" signal.
Strategy 3: Multi-Year Breakout (MYBO) :
1. A breakout triangle (orange or fuchsia) appears below the candle, signaling a close above the "Recent High" (Orange) or "Older High" (Fuchsia).
2. Recent High refers to the highest price the stock has reached in last 12 months. Breaking above the "Recent High" is a sign of strong current demand.
3. Older High refers to the highest price the stock reached in a more distant, historical period - the period between 5 years ago and 1 year ago. Breaking above the "Older High" is a sign of VERY strong demand as it has broken a historic high.
4. Wait for a breakout triangle to appear on the chart.
5. Enter on the high of the candle marked with a breakout triangle or wait for a pull back after that signal.
Customize Your View: Use the "Inputs" tab to enable/disable the modules you want to focus on and configure the alerts you want to receive. Use the "Style" tab to hide any visual elements you don't need to keep your chart clean.
Internal Pivot Pattern [LuxAlgo]The Internal Pivot Pattern indicator is a novel method allowing traders to detect pivots without excessive delay on the chart timeframe, by using the lower timeframe data from a candle.
It features custom colors for candles and zigzag lines to help identify trends. A dashboard showing the accuracy of the pattern is also included.
🔶 USAGE
We define a pivot as the occurrence where the middle candle over a specific interval (for example, the most recent 21 bars) is the highest (pivot high) or the lowest (pivot low). This method commonly allows for identifying swing highs/lows on a trader's chart; however, this pattern can only be identified after a specific number of bars has been formed, rendering this pattern useless for real-time detection of swing highs/lows.
This indicator uses a different approach, removing the need to wait for candles to form on the user chart; instead, we check the lower timeframe data of the current candle and evaluate for the presence of a pivot given the internal data, effectively providing pivot confirmation at the candle close.
An internal pivot low pattern is indicative of a potential uptrend, while an internal pivot high is indicative of a potential downtrend.
Candles are colored based on the last internal pivot detected, with blue candle colors indicating that the most recent internal pivot is a pivot low, indicating an uptrend, while an orange candle color indicates that the most recent internal pivot is a pivot high, indicating a downtrend.
🔹 Timeframes
The timeframe setting allows controlling the amount of lower timeframe data to consider for the internal pivot detection. This setting must be lower than the user's chart timeframe.
Using a timeframe significantly lower than the user chart timeframe will evaluate a larger amount of data for the pivot detection, making it less frequent, while using a timeframe closer to the chart timeframe can make the internal pivot detection more frequent, and more prone to false positives.
🔹 Accuracy Dashboard
The Accuracy Dashboard allows evaluating how accurate the detected patterns are as a percentage, with a pattern being judged accurate if subsequent patterns are detected higher or lower than a previous one.
For example, an internal pivot low is judged accurate if the following internal pivot is higher than it, indicating that higher highs have been made.
This dashboard can be useful to determine the timeframe setting to maximize the respective internal pivot accuracy.
🔶 SETTINGS
Timeframe: Timeframe for detecting internal swings
Accuracy Dashboard: Enable or disable the Accuracy Dashboard.
🔹 Style
Internal Pivot High: Color of the dot displayed upon the detection of an internal pivot high
Internal Pivot Low: Color of the dot displayed upon the detection of an internal pivot low
Zig-Zag: Color of the zig-zag segments connecting each internal pivot
Candles: Enable candle coloring, with control over the color of the candles highlighting the detected trend
Candle Size: Avg vs Current (Green/Red)This indicator shows the size of green (bullish) and red (bearish) candles, either as an average over time or just the current candle. You can choose to measure candle size by the body (Close - Open) or the full range (High - Low). It's a simple way to compare recent buying vs. selling strength and spot shifts in momentum.
3 Bar Reversal3 Bar Reversal
This pattern is described in John Carter's "Mastering the Trade"
The 3 Bar Reversal indicator is a simple but effective price action tool designed to highlight potential short-term reversals in market direction. It monitors consecutive bar behavior and identifies turning points based on a three-bar pattern. This tool can assist traders in spotting trend exhaustion or early signs of a reversal, particularly in scalping or short-term trading strategies.
How It Works
This indicator analyzes the relationship between consecutive bar closes:
It counts how many bars have passed since the price closed higher than the previous close (barssince(close >= close )) — referred to as an "up streak".
It also counts how many bars have passed since the price closed lower than the previous close (barssince(close <= close )) — known as a "down streak".
A reversal condition is met when:
There have been exactly 3 bars in a row moving in one direction (up or down), and
The 4th bar closes in the opposite direction.
When this condition is detected, the script performs two actions:
Plots a triangle on the chart to signal the potential reversal:
A green triangle below the bar for a possible long (buy) opportunity.
A red triangle above the bar for a possible short (sell) opportunity.
Triggers an alert condition so users can set notifications for when a reversal is detected.
Interpretation
Long Signal: The market has printed 3 consecutive lower closes, followed by a higher close — suggesting bullish momentum may be emerging.
Short Signal: The market has printed 3 consecutive higher closes, followed by a lower close — indicating possible bearish momentum.
These patterns are common in market retracements and can act as confirmation signals when used with other indicators such as RSI, MACD, support/resistance, or volume analysis.
Usage Examples
Scalping: Use the reversal signal to quickly enter short-term trades after a short-term exhaustion move.
Swing Trading: Combine this with trend indicators (e.g., moving averages) to time pullbacks within larger trends.
Confirmation Tool: Use this indicator alongside candlestick patterns or support/resistance zones to validate entry or exit points.
Alert Setup: Enable alerts based on the built-in alertcondition to receive instant notifications for potential trade setups.
Limitations
The 3-bar reversal logic does not guarantee a trend change; it signals potential reversals, which may need confirmation.
Best used in conjunction with broader context such as trend direction, market structure, or other technical indicators.

Head & Shoulders Pattern (Zeiierman)█ Overview
The Head & Shoulders Pattern (Zeiierman) is an advanced pattern recognition tool that automatically detects and visualizes one of the most powerful reversal patterns in technical analysis — the classic Head & Shoulders and Inverse Head & Shoulders formations .
This indicator brings structure clarity directly onto the price chart, allowing traders to instantly spot potential major reversal zones without manually drawing or searching for patterns.
It doesn't just draw lines — it intelligently scans price action for symmetry, pivot behavior, and neckline structures — then projects realistic price targets based on the pattern's height.
⚪ In simple terms:
▸ Standard Head & Shoulders → Bearish Reversal Pattern
▸ Inverse Head & Shoulders → Bullish Reversal Pattern
▸ Target Projection → Estimated Move from Neckline Break
▸ Labels → Clear annotation of Left Shoulder, Head, and Right Shoulder
█ How It Works
The indicator combines multiple technical detection layers into a clean visual model:
⚪ Dynamic Pivot Engine
Automatically detects pivot highs and lows based on user-defined Period.
Longer Period = Broader, higher-confidence patterns
Shorter Period = Smaller, more frequent patterns
⚪ Pattern Detection Logic
Scans pivot structures in real-time to identify valid:
Bearish Head & Shoulders (H&S)
Bullish Inverse Head & Shoulders (iH&S)
Conditions include:
▸ Symmetry validation
▸ Head above (or below) Shoulders
▸ Neckline structure
▸ Minimum price conditions met
█ How to Use
⚪ Reversal Trading
Look for Head & Shoulders at the top of an uptrend
Look for Inverse Head & Shoulders at the bottom of a downtrend
⚪ What makes our tool truly unique is that it goes beyond the traditional textbook definition.
Our custom Head & Shoulders algorithm is built with flexibility and adaptability in mind. It dynamically responds to real-time price action, allowing it to detect valid patterns not only at major trend reversals — but also within trending environments.
That means you can spot Head & Shoulders formations at:
Consolidation zones
Trend continuation areas
Corrective phases within established trends
It doesn’t have to be the absolute top or bottom of a move — and that’s the real power of this tool. It adapts. It evolves. It finds structure where most indicators stay blind.
█ Common Real-World Stop Loss Strategies with Head & Shoulders Patterns
Not all Head & Shoulders patterns are created equal — and neither are the stop loss strategies used to trade them.
Depending on your trading style, risk tolerance, and market context — here are the 3 most common ways traders manage stop placement when trading Head & Shoulders (H&S) or Inverse Head & Shoulders (iH&S) patterns:
⚪ Conservative Stop Placement
Maximum Safety — Minimum Chance of Being Stopped Prematurely
Stop Placement:
Above the Head (Bearish H&S)
Below the Head (Bullish iH&S)
Pros: Safest approach. Provides maximum protection against false breakouts and noise.
Cons: Often results in very large stop losses, especially on bigger patterns or higher timeframes. Risk-to-Reward (RR) can be poor unless the target is far.
⚪ Aggressive Stop Placement
Tighter Risk — Faster Invalidations
Stop Placement:
Above the Right Shoulder (Bearish H&S)
Below the Right Shoulder (Bullish iH&S)
Pros: Smaller stop losses. Improved RR. Ideal for traders who want tighter control over risk.
Cons: Higher chance of getting stopped on retests or minor volatility around the neckline zone.
⚪ Neckline Reclaim Invalidation
Dynamic & Price-Action Based Exit
Stop Placement:
Exit the trade if price closes back above (bearish) or below (bullish) the neckline after breaking it.
Pros: Dynamic approach based on market behavior rather than static levels. Allows more flexibility.
Cons: Requires active trade management. Not suitable for fully automated or set-and-forget trading styles.
█ Why It's Useful
This is not a basic pattern drawing tool — it's a complete detection system built for traders who want to:
Automatically detect powerful reversal patterns
Avoid the subjectivity of manually drawing H&S structures
Trade with clear target projections
Identify high-probability reversal zones
Visually map structure shifts in real-time

Reversals & PullbacksReversals & Pullbacks:
This indicator tries to predict Price reversals and pullbacks.
It works best on the higher timeframes (H4 and D) and was written for currencies but also shows some decent results on Crypto.
Inputs:
- Confirmation: When activated, the indicator waits to print the bullish/bearish signal untill price shows a clear sign of reversal. When not activated, it only looks if it thinks a pullback or reversal is likely to happen without waiting for confirmation. There will be more (false) signals when disabled
- Sensitivity: When set to 0, there will be more (false) signals printed, and when highering this value there will be less signals. The default value is 5 but you can experiment which value works best on what instrument.
- Arrow Distance: can be used to place the arrows further away from price if needed.
Heikin-Ashi Reversals with Region & DotsIf you want to use Heiken Ashi candles as a way to screen for bullish and bearish reversal.
Green background is stay long and strong. Red background = potential top or bearish continuation.
Yellow dots show strong red heiken ashi candles with small upside wicks. The next candle determines whether it should be green or red. If next heiken ashi candle closes above the current candle = green, bull trend still in line. If next heiken ashi candle closes below, then time to sell

// Initialize half trend on the first bar
if barstate.isfirst
hl_t := close
// Update half trend value based on conditions
switch
closeMA < hl_t and highestHigh < hl_t => hl_t := highestHigh
closeMA > hl_t and lowestLow > hl_t => hl_t := lowestLow
=> hl_t := hl_t
// Smooth
float s_hlt = ta.hma(hl_t, len)
🔵 Key Features:
Upper and Lower Bands:
The bands adapt dynamically to market volatility.
Price movements toward the bands help identify areas of overextension and potential reversal points.
Midline Trend Signal:

Combine the bands and midline signals to confirm trade entries and exits:
Enter long trades when price bounces off the lower band with a green midline.
Consider short trades when price reverses from the upper band with a purple midline.
Use the trend label (e.g., "Trend Up" or "Trend Dn") for quick confirmation of the current market state.
The Half Trend Channel is an essential tool for traders who want to follow trends, avoid fakeouts, and identify reliable tops and bottoms to optimize their trading decisions.
Dragon Harmonic Pattern [TradingFinder] Dragon Detector🔵 Introduction
The Dragon Harmonic Pattern is one of the technical analysis tools that assists traders in identifying Potential Reversal Zones (PRZ). Resembling an "M" or "W" shape, this pattern is recognized in financial markets as a method for predicting bullish and bearish trends. By leveraging precise Fibonacci ratios and measuring price movements, traders can use this pattern to forecast market trends with high accuracy.
The Dragon Harmonic Pattern is built on the XABCD structure, where each point plays a significant role in shaping and forecasting price movements. Point X marks the beginning of the trend, representing the initial price movement. Point A indicates the first retracement, usually falling within the 0.380 to 0.620 range of the XA wave.
Next, point B signals the second retracement, which lies within 0.200 to 0.400 of the AB wave. Point C, acting as the hump of the pattern, is generally located within 0.800 to 1.100 of the XA wave. Finally, point D represents the endpoint of the pattern and the Potential Reversal Zone (PRZ), where the primary price reversal occurs.
In bullish scenarios, the Dragon Pattern indicates a reversal from a downtrend to an uptrend, where prices move upward from point D. Conversely, in bearish scenarios, prices decline after reaching point D. Accurate identification of this pattern through Fibonacci ratio analysis and PRZ examination can significantly increase the success rate of trades, enabling traders to adjust their strategies based on key market levels such as 0.618 or 1.100.
Due to its high accuracy in identifying Potential Reversal Zones (PRZ) and its alignment with Fibonacci ratios, the Dragon Harmonic Pattern is considered one of the most popular tools in technical analysis. Traders can use this pattern to pinpoint entry and exit points with greater confidence while minimizing trading risks.

🔵 How to Use
The Dragon Harmonic Pattern indicator helps traders identify bullish and bearish patterns in the market, allowing them to capitalize on available trading opportunities. By analyzing Fibonacci ratios and the XABCD structure, the indicator highlights Potential Reversal Zones (PRZ).
🟣 Bullish Dragon Pattern
In the Bullish Dragon Pattern, the price transitions from a downtrend to an uptrend after reaching point D. At this stage, points X, A, B, C, and D must be carefully identified.
Fibonacci ratios for these points are as follows: Point A should fall within 0.380 to 0.620 of the XA wave, point B within 0.200 to 0.400 of the AB wave, and point C within 0.800 to 1.100 of the XA wave.
When the price reaches point D, traders should look for bullish signals such as reversal candlesticks or increased trading volume to enter a buy position. The take-profit level can be set near the previous price high or based on the 1.272 Fibonacci ratio of the XA wave, while the stop-loss should be placed slightly below point D.
🟣 Bearish Dragon Pattern
In the Bearish Dragon Pattern, the price shifts from an uptrend to a downtrend after reaching point D. In this pattern, points X, A, B, C, and D must also be identified. Fibonacci ratios for these points are as follows: Point A should fall within 0.380 to 0.620 of the XA wave, point B within 0.200 to 0.400 of the AB wave, and point C within 0.800 to 1.100 of the XA wave.
Upon reaching point D, bearish signals such as reversal candlesticks or decreasing trading volume indicate the opportunity to enter a sell position. The take-profit level can be set near the previous price low or based on the 1.272 Fibonacci ratio of the XA wave, while the stop-loss should be placed slightly above point D.
By combining the Dragon Harmonic Pattern indicator with precise Fibonacci ratio analysis, traders can identify key opportunities while minimizing risks and improving their decision-making in both bullish and bearish market conditions.
🔵 Setting
🟣 Logical Setting
ZigZag Pivot Period : You can adjust the period so that the harmonic patterns are adjusted according to the pivot period you want. This factor is the most important parameter in pattern recognition.
Show Valid Forma t: If this parameter is on "On" mode, only patterns will be displayed that they have exact format and no noise can be seen in them. If "Off" is, the patterns displayed that maybe are noisy and do not exactly correspond to the original pattern.
Show Formation Last Pivot Confirm : if Turned on, you can see this ability of patterns when their last pivot is formed. If this feature is off, it will see the patterns as soon as they are formed. The advantage of this option being clear is less formation of fielded patterns, and it is accompanied by the latest pattern seeing and a sharp reduction in reward to risk.
Period of Formation Last Pivot : Using this parameter you can determine that the last pivot is based on Pivot period.
🟣 Genaral Setting
Show : Enter "On" to display the template and "Off" to not display the template.

Turtle Soup ICT Strategy [TradingFinder] FVG + CHoCH/CSD🔵 Introduction
The ICT Turtle Soup trading setup, designed in the ICT style, operates by hunting or sweeping liquidity zones to exploit false breakouts and failed breakouts in key liquidity Zones, such as recent highs, lows, or major support and resistance levels.
This setup identifies moments when the price breaches these liquidity zones, triggering stop orders placed (Stop Hunt) by other traders, and then quickly reverses direction. These movements are often associated with liquidity sweeps that create temporary market imbalances.
The reversal is typically confirmed by one of three structural shifts : a Market Structure Shift (MSS), a Change of Character (CHoCH), or a break of the Change in State of Delivery (CISD). Each of these structural shifts provides a reliable signal to interpret market intent and align trading decisions with the expected price movement. After the structural shift, the price frequently pullback to a Fair Value Gap (FVG), offering a precise entry point for trades.
By integrating key concepts such as liquidity, liquidity sweeps, stop order activation, structural shifts (MSS, CHoCH, CISD), and price imbalances, the ICT Turtle Soup setup enables traders to identify reversal points and key entry zones with high accuracy.
This strategy is highly versatile, making it applicable across markets such as forex, stocks, cryptocurrencies, and futures. It offers traders a robust and systematic approach to understanding price movements and optimizing their trading strategies
🟣 Bullish and Bearish Setups
Bullish Setup : The price first sweeps below a Sell-Side Liquidity (SSL) zone, then reverses upward after forming an MSS or CHoCH, and finally pulls back to an FVG, creating a buying opportunity.
Bearish Setup : The price first sweeps above a Buy-Side Liquidity (BSL) zone, then reverses downward after forming an MSS or CHoCH, and finally pulls back to an FVG, creating a selling opportunity.
🔵 How to Use
To effectively utilize the ICT Turtle Soup trading setup, begin by identifying key liquidity zones, such as recent highs, lows, or support and resistance levels, in higher timeframes.
Then, monitor lower timeframes for a Liquidity Sweep and confirmation of a Market Structure Shift (MSS) or Change of Character (CHoCH).
After the structural shift, the price typically pulls back to an FVG, offering an optimal trade entry point. Below, the bullish and bearish setups are explained in detail.
🟣 Bullish Turtle Soup Setup
Identify Sell-Side Liquidity (SSL) : In a higher timeframe (e.g., 1-hour or 4-hour), identify recent price lows or support levels that serve as SSL zones, typically the location of stop-loss orders for traders.
Observe a Liquidity Sweep : On a lower timeframe (e.g., 15-minute or 30-minute), the price must move below one of these liquidity zones and then reverse. This movement indicates a liquidity sweep.
Confirm Market Structure Shift : After the price reversal, look for a structural shift (MSS or CHoCH) indicated by the formation of a Higher Low (HL) and Higher High (HH).
Enter the Trade : Once the structural shift is confirmed, the price typically pulls back to an FVG. Enter a buy trade in this zone, set a stop-loss slightly below the recent low, and target Buy-Side Liquidity (BSL) in the higher timeframe for profit.
🟣 Bearish Turtle Soup Setup
Identify Buy-Side Liquidity (BSL) : In a higher timeframe, identify recent price highs or resistance levels that serve as BSL zones, typically the location of stop-loss orders for traders.
Observe a Liquidity Sweep : On a lower timeframe, the price must move above one of these liquidity zones and then reverse. This movement indicates a liquidity sweep.
Confirm Market Structure Shift : After the price reversal, look for a structural shift (MSS or CHoCH) indicated by the formation of a Lower High (LH) and Lower Low (LL).
Enter the Trade : Once the structural shift is confirmed, the price typically pulls back to an FVG. Enter a sell trade in this zone, set a stop-loss slightly above the recent high, and target Sell-Side Liquidity (SSL) in the higher timeframe for profit.
🔵 Settings
Higher TimeFrame Levels : This setting allows you to specify the higher timeframe (e.g., 1-hour, 4-hour, or daily) for identifying key liquidity zones.
Swing period : You can set the swing detection period.
Max Swing Back Method : It is in two modes "All" and "Custom". If it is in "All" mode, it will check all swings, and if it is in "Custom" mode, it will check the swings to the extent you determine.
Max Swing Back : You can set the number of swings that will go back for checking.
FVG Length : Default is 120 Bar.
MSS Length : Default is 80 Bar.
FVG Filter : This refines the number of identified FVG areas based on a specified algorithm to focus on higher quality signals and reduce noise.
Types of FVG filter s:
Very Aggressive Filter: Adds a condition where, for an upward FVG, the last candle's highest price must exceed the middle candle's highest price, and for a downward FVG, the last candle's lowest price must be lower than the middle candle's lowest price. This minimally filters out FVGs.
Aggressive Filter: Builds on the Very Aggressive mode by ensuring the middle candle is not too small, filtering out more FVGs.
Defensive Filter: Adds criteria regarding the size and structure of the middle candle, requiring it to have a substantial body and specific polarity conditions, filtering out a significant number of FVGs.
Very Defensive Filter: Further refines filtering by ensuring the first and third candles are not small-bodied doji candles, retaining only the highest quality signals.
In the indicator settings, you can customize the visibility of various elements, including MSS, FVG, and HTF Levels. Additionally, the color of each element can be adjusted to match your preferences. This feature allows traders to tailor the chart display to their specific needs, enhancing focus on the key data relevant to their strategy.
