Candlestick Trend Indicator v0.5 by JustUncleLRequested Update to this Indicator alert project. In this update I have added the option to be able select which Price Action candles you want included in the display and the generated alarm Alert. Other changes also included in this update:
Also added a Price Action candle for "Last Fractal S/R Break", this also a good continuation indication.
Added option to select a different moving average types for directional MA line.
Modified some default settings, using HullMA instead of Zero Lag EMA and standard MACD settings(12,26,9).
Description:
This is a trend following indicator and alert for Binary Options based on Candlestick patterns and trend line -
NOTE: original system was a forex trading system.
This code combines a number of indicators to create an overall trading strategy.
The indicator recognises and displays some useful candle named defined patterns that are used to support trend continuation:
Bearish + Bullish PinBars
Dark Cloud Cover
Piecing Line
Bullish + Bearish Harami
Bullish + Bearish Engulfing Candle
Bullish + Bearish Last Fractal S/R break
Also recognises main Price Action candles from ChrisMoody (CM), the four(4) price action patterns are colored coded bars:
Yellow = Inside Bar - breakout/continuance
Orange = Outside Bar - breakout/continuance
Aqua/Fuschia = Up/Down Shaved Bars - Buying/Selling pressure
Red/Green = Possible reversal PinBars - Reverse Down / reverse Up
The highlighted candles (maroon and darker green) represent the defined PA patterns that have been confirmed following the current trend direction that is indicated by the Hull MA(20) line (can select a different type of MA, or even disable) and confirmed by MACD direction (can be disabled). The confirmed Alerts are indication by green (buy) and red (sell) dots at the bottom of the chart. An alert is generated from this selection for the alert condition of the alarming system.
The fractal upper/lower break lines are also draw, if the (optional) last fractal break line is broken by a highlighted bar then this indicates a stronger trend conformation.
The MACD indicator MACD DEUTER 2 colour(12,26,9) you can visually see the MACD histogram colours with MACD direction - needs "MACD DEUTER 2 colour" indicator.
This multi-indicator set up is suitable for 1hr, 4hr and daily charts with 1-4 candle expiry.

MACD trend heatmap (by ChartArt)This is an overlay indicator which uses the classic period settings and signals from the MACD (Moving Average Convergence/Divergence) indicator to overlay a heatmap using all the information the MACD generates with its three periods (12,26,9).
The first two moving averages which the MACD uses (12 and 26) can be plotted on the chart like usual EMAs.
In addition to the background color function (the heatmap) and the EMAs, there is an optional bar color alert when the uptrend or the downtrend as measured by the MACD appears to be very strong.
Stoch_VX2Nothing New about a Stochastic but maybe in how you use them ( Other than Over bought / Sold cross over & divergence signals )
Running 3 bands
Standard stoch & tops & bottoms swing band
Optimised variables 12, 5 , 3 or fib 13, 5, 3 / - 12 / 3 / 3 a little bit tighter to combine both smoothness & accuracy. These are my own personal setting inc. Strategy.
MACD Color Trawler (by ChartArt)This version of the MACD indicator is 'trawling' (checking) if the MACD histogram and the zero line crossing with the MACD line are both positive or negative. The idea behind this is to show areas with higher or lower risk.
Features:
1. Enable the bar color
2. Enable the background color
3. Change zero line value
FYI:
"The MACD-Histogram is an indicator of an indicator. In fact, MACD is also an indicator of an indicator. This means that the MACD-Histogram is the fourth derivative of price."
First derivative: 12-day EMA and 26-day EMA
Second derivative: MACD (12-day EMA less the 26-day EMA)
Third derivative: MACD signal line (9-day EMA of MACD)
Fourth derivative: MACD-Histogram (MACD less MACD signal line)

Account GuardianAccount Guardian: Dynamic Risk/Reward Overlay
Introduction
Account Guardian is an open-source indicator for TradingView designed to help traders evaluate trade setups before entering positions. It automatically calculates Risk-to-Reward ratios based on market structure, displays visual Stop Loss and Take Profit zones, and provides real-time position sizing recommendations.
The indicator addresses a fundamental question every trader should ask before entering a trade: "Does this setup make mathematical sense?" Account Guardian answers this question visually and numerically, helping traders avoid impulsive entries with poor risk profiles.
Core Functionality
Account Guardian performs four primary functions:
Detects swing highs and swing lows to identify logical stop loss placement levels
Calculates Risk-to-Reward ratios for both long and short setups in real-time
Displays visual SL/TP zones on the chart for immediate trade planning
Computes position sizing based on your account size and risk tolerance
The goal is to provide traders with instant feedback on whether a potential trade meets their minimum risk/reward criteria before committing capital.
How It Works
Swing Detection
The indicator uses pivot point detection to identify recent swing highs and swing lows on the chart. These swing points serve as logical areas for stop loss placement:
For Long Trades: The most recent swing low becomes the stop loss level. Price breaking below this level would invalidate the bullish thesis.
For Short Trades: The most recent swing high becomes the stop loss level. Price breaking above this level would invalidate the bearish thesis.
The swing detection lookback period is configurable, allowing you to adjust sensitivity based on your trading timeframe and style.
It automatically adjusts the tp and sl when it is applied to your chart so it is always moving up and down!
Risk/Reward Calculation
Once swing levels are identified, the indicator calculates:
Entry Price: Current close price (where you would enter)
Stop Loss: Recent swing low (for longs) or swing high (for shorts)
Risk: Distance from entry to stop loss
Take Profit: Entry plus (Risk × Target Multiplier)
R:R Ratio: Reward divided by Risk
The R:R ratio is then evaluated against your configured thresholds to determine if the setup is valid, marginal, or poor.
Visual Elements
SL/TP Zones
When enabled, the indicator draws colored boxes on the chart showing:
Red Zone: Stop Loss area - the region between your entry and stop loss
Green/Gold/Red Zone: Take Profit area - colored based on R:R quality
The color coding provides instant visual feedback:
Green: R:R meets or exceeds your "Good R:R" threshold (default 3:1)
Gold: R:R meets minimum threshold but below "Good" (between 2:1 and 3:1)
Red: R:R below minimum threshold - setup should be avoided
Swing Point Markers
Small circles mark detected swing points on the chart:
Green circles: Swing lows (potential support / long SL levels)
Red circles: Swing highs (potential resistance / short SL levels)
Dashboard Panel
The dashboard in the top-right corner displays comprehensive trade planning information:
R:R Row: Current Risk-to-Reward ratio for long and short setups
Status Row: VALID, OK, BAD, or N/A based on R:R thresholds
Stop Loss Row: Exact price level for stop loss placement
Take Profit Row: Exact price level for take profit placement
Pos Size Row: Recommended position size based on your risk parameters
Risk $ Row: Dollar amount at risk per trade
Position Sizing Logic
The indicator calculates position size using the formula:
Position Size = Risk Amount / Risk per Unit
Where:
Risk Amount = Account Size × (Risk Percentage / 100)
Risk per Unit = Entry Price - Stop Loss Price
For example, with a $10,000 account risking 1% per trade ($100), if your entry is at 100 and stop loss at 98 (risk of 2 per unit), your position size would be 50 units.
Input Parameters
Swing Detection:
Swing Lookback: Number of bars to look back for pivot detection (default: 10). Higher values find more significant swing points but may be slower to update.
Target Multiplier: Multiplier applied to risk to calculate take profit distance (default: 2). A value of 2 means TP is 2× the distance of SL from entry.
Risk/Reward Thresholds:
Minimum R:R: Minimum acceptable Risk-to-Reward ratio (default: 2.0). Setups below this show as "BAD" in red.
Good R:R: Threshold for excellent setups (default: 3.0). Setups at or above this show as "VALID" in green.
Account Settings:
Account Size ($): Your trading account size in dollars (default: 10,000). Used for position sizing calculations.
Risk Per Trade (%): Percentage of account to risk per trade (default: 1.0%). Professional traders typically risk 0.5-2% per trade.
Display:
Show SL/TP Zones: Toggle visibility of the colored zone boxes on chart (default: enabled)
Show Dashboard: Toggle visibility of the information panel (default: enabled)
Analyze Direction: Choose to analyze Long only, Short only, or Both directions (default: Both)
How to Use This Indicator
Basic Workflow:
Add the indicator to your chart
Configure your account size and risk percentage in the settings
Set your minimum and good R:R thresholds based on your trading rules
Look at the dashboard to see current R:R for potential long and short entries
Only consider trades where the status shows "VALID" or at minimum "OK"
Use the displayed SL and TP levels for your order placement
Use the position size recommendation to determine lot/contract size
Interpreting the Dashboard:
VALID (Green): Excellent setup - R:R meets your "Good" threshold. This is the ideal scenario for taking a trade.
OK (Gold): Acceptable setup - R:R meets minimum but isn't optimal. Consider taking if other confluence factors align.
BAD (Red): Poor setup - R:R below minimum threshold. Avoid this trade or wait for better entry.
N/A (Gray): Cannot calculate - usually means no valid swing point detected yet.
Best Practices:
Use this indicator as a filter, not a signal generator. It tells you IF a trade makes sense, not WHEN to enter.
Combine with your existing entry strategy - use Account Guardian to validate setups from other analysis.
Adjust the swing lookback based on your timeframe. Lower timeframes may need smaller lookback values.
Be honest with your account size input - accurate position sizing requires accurate inputs.
Consider the target multiplier carefully. Higher multipliers mean larger potential reward but lower probability of hitting TP.
Alerts
The indicator includes four alert conditions:
Good Long Setup: Triggers when long R:R reaches or exceeds your "Good R:R" threshold
Good Short Setup: Triggers when short R:R reaches or exceeds your "Good R:R" threshold
Bad Long Setup: Triggers when long R:R falls below your minimum threshold
Bad Short Setup: Triggers when short R:R falls below your minimum threshold
These alerts can help you monitor multiple charts and get notified when favorable setups appear.
Technical Implementation
The indicator is built using Pine Script v6 and includes:
Pivot-based swing detection using ta.pivothigh() and ta.pivotlow()
Dynamic box drawing for visual SL/TP zones
Table-based dashboard for clean information display
Color-coded visual feedback system
Persistent variable tracking for swing levels
Code Structure:
// Swing Detection
float swingHi = ta.pivothigh(high, swingLen, swingLen)
float swingLo = ta.pivotlow(low, swingLen, swingLen)
// R:R Calculation for Long
float longSL = recentSwingLo
float longRisk = entry - longSL
float longTP = entry + (longRisk * targetMult)
float longRR = (longTP - entry) / longRisk
// Position Sizing
float riskAmount = accountSize * (riskPct / 100)
float posSize = riskAmount / longRisk
Limitations
The indicator uses historical swing points which may not always represent optimal SL placement for your specific strategy
Position sizing assumes you can trade fractional units - adjust accordingly for instruments with minimum lot sizes
R:R calculations assume linear price movement and don't account for gaps or slippage
The indicator doesn't predict price direction - it only evaluates the mathematical viability of a setup
Swing detection has inherent lag due to the lookback period required for pivot confirmation
Recommended Settings by Trading Style
Scalping (1-5 minute charts):
Swing Lookback: 5-8
Target Multiplier: 1-2
Minimum R:R: 1.5
Good R:R: 2.0
Day Trading (15-60 minute charts):
Swing Lookback: 8-12
Target Multiplier: 2
Minimum R:R: 2.0
Good R:R: 3.0
Swing Trading (4H-Daily charts):
Swing Lookback: 10-20
Target Multiplier: 2-3
Minimum R:R: 2.5
Good R:R: 4.0
Why Risk/Reward Matters
Many traders focus solely on win rate, but profitability depends on the combination of win rate AND risk/reward ratio. Consider these scenarios:
50% win rate with 1:1 R:R = Breakeven (before costs)
50% win rate with 2:1 R:R = Profitable
40% win rate with 3:1 R:R = Profitable
60% win rate with 1:2 R:R = Losing money
Account Guardian helps ensure you only take trades where the math works in your favor, even if you're wrong more often than you're right.

Ichimoku MTF Heatmap WITH ALERT meeting D and W conditionsThis is a version of the Ichimoku Cloud Heatmap but adds a can't miss alert when it meets Daily and Weekly conditions. The cloud metric is still being refined and the qualifier is ignoring just the cloud for now. As of 12/21/2025 GLD is meeting the conditions to set this flag.
Trend Dip-BuyerThis strategy is a simplified, high-probability Dip Buying System designed for active growth stocks. Instead of chasing breakouts at the top, it waits for the stock to take a "breather" (pullback) within an uptrend and buys the discount.
It combines a classic Trend Filter (50 EMA) with a sensitive Momentum Oscillator (RSI 2) to pinpoint the exact moment a pullback is likely to reverse back up.
How It Works:
1. The Trend Filter (50 EMA)
The strategy ONLY trades Long.
It requires the price to be above the 50-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA) (Blue Line). This ensures you are trading with the momentum of the market, not against it.
2. The Dip Signal (RSI 2)
It uses a fast 2-period RSI.
When RSI(2) drops below 50, it signals that the stock is temporarily "oversold" or resting. This is your cue that a discount entry is available.
3. Dynamic Exits
Profit Taking: The primary target is dynamic. The strategy looks to exit when RSI(2) spikes above 70, allowing you to capture the bulk of the momentum swing. (A fixed ATR target option is also included).
Safety: A 3x ATR Stop Loss protects the trade from sudden reversals.
✅ Simple Entry Checklist
Before taking a trade, ensure all 3 boxes are checked:
Trend Check: Is the current price ABOVE the Blue Line (50 EMA)?
Dip Check: Is the RSI (2) value BELOW 50?
Time Check: Is it past 12:00 PM? (Recommended for cleaner trends, but optional).
👉 If YES to all: Enter Long on the next candle open.
Best Settings (Customizable):
RSI Threshold: Default is 50 (Balanced). Lower to 30 for fewer, higher-quality trades.
Exit Method: "RSI > 70" is recommended for maximizing wins in strong trends.
Time Filter: "Trade > 12pm" is enabled by default to avoid morning volatility.

>
> **Special Thanks:** This strategy is based on the original work of **JustUncleL**, a renowned Pine Script developer. You can find their work and profile on TradingView here: (in.tradingview.com).
---
## Key Features
### 1. Optimized Core Logic
- **MA Period (Default: 5):** The strategy is tuned with a shorter MA length to reduce lag and capture trends earlier.
- **Crossing Logic:** Signals are generated when the Moving Average of the **Close** crosses the Moving Average of the **Open**.
### 2. Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Analysis
- **Alternate Resolution:** Use a higher timeframe (Resolution Multiplier) to filter out noise. By default, it uses $3 \times$ your current chart timeframe to confirm the trend.
- **Non-Repainting:** Includes an optional delay offset to ensure signals are confirmed and do not disappear (repaint) after the bar closes.
### 3. Advanced Risk Management
This script features a hierarchical exit system to protect your capital and lock in profits:
- **Fixed Stop Loss (Initial):** Protects against sudden market reversals immediately after entry.
- **Delayed Trailing Stop Loss (TSL):**
- **Activation Delay:** The TSL only activates after the trade reaches a specific profit threshold (e.g., 1%). This prevents being stopped out too early in the trade's development.
- **Ratchet Trail:** Once activated, the stop loss "ratchets" up/down, never moving backward, ensuring you lock in profits as the trend continues.
- **Take Profit (TP):** A fixed percentage target to exit the trade at a pre-defined profit level.
### 4. Versatility
- **12 MA Types:** Choose from SMA, EMA, DEMA, TEMA, WMA, VWMA, SMMA, HullMA, LSMA, ALMA, SSMA, and TMA.
- **Trade Direction:** Toggle between Long-only, Short-only, or Both.
- **Visuals:** Optional bar coloring to visualize the trend directly on the candlesticks.
---
## User Input Guide
### Core Settings
- **Use Alternate Resolution?:** Enable this to use the MTF logic.
- **Multiplier for Alternate Resolution:** How many charts higher the "filter" timeframe should be.
- **MA Type:** Select your preferred moving average smoothing method.
- **MA Period:** The length of the Open/Close averages.
- **Delay Open/Close MA:** Use `1` or higher to force non-repainting behavior.
### Risk Management Settings
- **Use Trailing Stop Loss?:** Enables the TSL system.
- **Trailing Stop %:** The distance the stop follows behind the price (Optimized Default: 1.5%).
- **TSL Activation % (Delay):** The profit % required before the TSL starts moving. (Optimized Default: 2.0% to ensure 0.5% profit is locked immediately).
- **Initial Fixed Stop Loss %:** Your hard stop if the trade immediately goes against you.
- **Take Profit %:** Your ultimate profit target for the trade.
---
## How to Trade with This Strategy
1. **Identify the Trend:** Look for the Moving Average lines (Close vs Open) to cross.
2. **Wait for Confirmation:** If using MTF, ensure the higher timeframe also shows a trend change.
3. **Manage the Trade:** Let the TSL work. With the default **2.0% Activation** and **1.5% Trail**, the strategy will automatically lock in **0.5% profit** the moment the threshold is hit, then follow the price higher.
4. **Position Sizing:** Adjust the `Properties` tab in the script settings to match your desired capital allocation (Default is 10% of equity).

cd_VW_CxOverview
The cd_VW_Cx is a sophisticated trend analysis tool designed to quantify market momentum using Multi-Period VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price). Unlike standard indicators, this script evaluates the current price relationship across multiple historical VWAP anchors to generate a real-time "Confidence Score" ranging from -100 to +100.
💡 Key Features
• Dynamic Anchoring: Seamlessly switch between Daily, Weekly, or Monthly open anchors to align with your trading style (Scalping, Day Trading, or Swing).
• Algorithmic Scoring (The Score Box): The indicator compares the current VWAP against historical periods.
o Score > +70: Strong Bullish Momentum.
o Score < -70: Strong Bearish Momentum.
• Polyline Rendering: Utilizes Pine Script v6’s advanced polyline architecture for high-performance, sleek visual plotting that doesn't clutter your chart.
• Institutional Support/Resistance: Historical VWAP levels are color-coded, often acting as "invisible" magnetic zones where institutional orders are clustered.
🛠 How to Trade with cd_VW_Cx
1. Momentum Confirmation: Look for the Score Box to turn Teal (Bullish) or Red (Bearish). This indicates that the current trend has statistical backing from multiple previous sessions.
2. The Breakout Signal: The script tracks price crossovers of the current VWAP. A "Bullish Breakout" combined with a high score is a high-probability entry signal.
3. Visual Guidance: Use the custom labels to identify which specific day/week/month’s VWAP is currently being tested as support or resistance.
⚙️ Customizable Settings
• Anchor Selection: Choose the calculation basis (Daily, Weekly, Monthly).
• Thresholds: Adjust the sensitivity of the Bullish/Bearish alerts (Default is +/- 70).
• Visuals: Full control over table positioning, font sizes, and color palettes to match your chart theme.
📢 cd_VW_Cx: Multi-Period VWAP Scoring & Analysis Guide
🔍 Overview & Visual Logic
The labels next to the VWAP levels dynamically change based on your Anchor selection:
• Daily Open: Displays the Day Name (e.g., Monday, Tuesday).
• Weekly Open: Displays the Week Number (1 – 52).
• Monthly Open: Displays the Month Number (1 – 12).

________________________________________
⚙️ Settings & Configuration
• Timeframe Selection: Your chart timeframe must be lower than the selected Anchor timeframe. (e.g., If "Daily Open" is selected, the timeframe should be lower than 1D).
• Anchor Choice: Select Daily, Weekly, or Monthly opens.
• Source Selection: Default value is set to ohlc4. Source Settings:
Filtering Criteria Examples:
• Bullish Filtering: Find assets with high momentum scores.
• Bullish Breakout (Single Criteria): Filters assets that have closed above the current VWAP level.
• Combined Strength (Score + Breakout): Filters assets that have a Score > 70 AND a fresh VWAP Breakout simultaneously.
________________________________________
⚠️ Important Notes & Warnings
• Calculation Logic: The indicator calculates levels and scores on timeframes lower than the anchor. It is best used on timeframes that are close to but lower than the anchor.
• Avoid Extreme Gaps: Using a very low timeframe (e.g., 1m) with a very high anchor (e.g., Monthly) increases the risk of erroneous results.
• Optimization: The default score threshold of 70 is a starting point; I recommend adjusting it based on your own trading experience.
• The Power of Confluence: VWAP levels are naturally strong. Their significance increases when they coincide with institutional levels like PDH (Previous Day High), Session H/L, or HTF FVG.
• Experience Matters: A high score alone is not enough for an entry. Always combine this data with your personal strategy.

deKoder | Business Cycle vs BitcoinThis indicator overlays Bitcoin's detrended momentum with the US ISM Manufacturing PMI (a key business cycle proxy) to visually dissect the relationship between crypto cycles and broader economic health.
Inspired by ongoing debates in crypto macro analysis (e.g., "Is there a 4-year halving cycle, or is it just the business cycle?" ), it highlights potential lead-lag dynamics - challenging the popular view that PMI strictly leads Bitcoin rallies and tops.
Key Features
• BTC Momentum Wave (Yellow/Orange Line):
Detrended deviation from Bitcoin's long-term "fair value" (24-month SMA).
Formula: ((close / sma(close, 24)) * 100 - 100) * 0.15
- Positive (yellow): BTC overvalued relative to trend | bullish momentum
- Negative (orange): Undervalued relative to trend | bearish momentum
• PMI Wave (Teal/Red Line):
ISM Manufacturing PMI centered at zero (raw PMI - 50, scaled ×3 for alignment).
- Positive (teal): Expansion (>50 raw) — economic tailwinds.
- Negative (red): Contraction (<50 raw) — headwinds, often linked to risk-off in assets.
• S&P 500 Momentum (White Line, Optional):
Similar deviation for SPX, showing how equities bridge BTC's volatility and PMI's smoothness.
• Divergence Highlights (Bar & Background Colors):
- Teal/Green Zones : BTC momentum positive while PMI negative → BTC signaling early recovery (potential lead by 1-3+ months at bottoms).
- Maroon/Red Zones : BTC momentum negative while PMI positive → BTC warning of rollovers (early bear signals).
- Neutral: No color — aligned cycles.
• Overlaid SMA on Price Chart :
24-month SMA for BTC (teal when price above, red when below) — quick fair value reference.
How to Interpret: Does BTC Lead the Business Cycle?
The chart flips the common meme ( "No 4-year cycle, it's just the business cycle" ) by visually emphasising BTC's potential as a forward-looking signal .
Historical cycles (2013–2025) show:
• BTC Leads at Bottoms : E.g., 2018–2019 and 2022 troughs — BTC momentum crosses positive 2–4 months before PMI, as speculative traders price in liquidity easing/recoveries ahead of manufacturing data.
• Coincident or BTC-Led at Tops : Peaks align closely (e.g., 2017, 2021), with PMI rollovers often coinciding or slightly leading the initial BTC euphoria fade. BTC then rolls over before PMI confirms later.
• Why? Markets are anticipatory (6–12 months forward), while PMI is a lagged survey snapshot. BTC, as a high-beta risk asset, amplifies early sentiment shifts before they hit factory orders/employment.

## Key Features
### 1. Optimized Core Logic
- **MA Period (Default: 5):** The strategy is tuned with a shorter MA length to reduce lag and capture trends earlier.
- **Crossing Logic:** Signals are generated when the Moving Average of the **Close** crosses the Moving Average of the **Open**.
### 2. Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Analysis
- **Alternate Resolution:** Use a higher timeframe (Resolution Multiplier) to filter out noise. By default, it uses $3 \times$ your current chart timeframe to confirm the trend.
- **Non-Repainting:** Includes an optional delay offset to ensure signals are confirmed and do not disappear (repaint) after the bar closes.
### 3. Advanced Risk Management
This script features a hierarchical exit system to protect your capital and lock in profits:
- **Fixed Stop Loss (Initial):** Protects against sudden market reversals immediately after entry.
- **Delayed Trailing Stop Loss (TSL):**
- **Activation Delay:** The TSL only activates after the trade reaches a specific profit threshold (e.g., 1%). This prevents being stopped out too early in the trade's development.
- **Ratchet Trail:** Once activated, the stop loss "ratchets" up/down, never moving backward, ensuring you lock in profits as the trend continues.
- **Take Profit (TP):** A fixed percentage target to exit the trade at a pre-defined profit level.
### 4. Versatility
- **12 MA Types:** Choose from SMA, EMA, DEMA, TEMA, WMA, VWMA, SMMA, HullMA, LSMA, ALMA, SSMA, and TMA.
- **Trade Direction:** Toggle between Long-only, Short-only, or Both.
- **Visuals:** Optional bar coloring to visualize the trend directly on the candlesticks.
---
## User Input Guide
### Core Settings
- **Use Alternate Resolution?:** Enable this to use the MTF logic.
- **Multiplier for Alternate Resolution:** How many charts higher the "filter" timeframe should be.
- **MA Type:** Select your preferred moving average smoothing method.
- **MA Period:** The length of the Open/Close averages.
- **Delay Open/Close MA:** Use `1` or higher to force non-repainting behavior.
### Risk Management Settings
- **Use Trailing Stop Loss?:** Enables the TSL system.
- **Trailing Stop %:** The distance the stop follows behind the price.
- **TSL Activation % (Delay):** The profit % required before the TSL starts moving.
- **Initial Fixed Stop Loss %:** Your hard stop if the trade immediately goes against you.
- **Take Profit %:** Your ultimate profit target for the trade.
---
## How to Trade with This Strategy
1. **Identify the Trend:** Look for the Moving Average lines (Close vs Open) to cross.
2. **Wait for Confirmation:** If using MTF, ensure the higher timeframe also shows a trend change.
3. **Manage the Trade:** Let the TSL work. Once the trade hits the activation threshold, the TSL will take over, protecting your runner.
4. **Position Sizing:** Adjust the `Properties` tab in the script settings to match your desired capital allocation (Default is 10% of equity).

Market Phase Dashboard MTFGetting into a trade is the easy part. if anyone out there could use a little assistance in knowing when to exit a trade this ones for you..
This is a Market Phase Dashboard MTF (Multi-Timeframe) that classifies market conditions into 4 distinct phases based on trend + momentum alignment. Here's what it does:
The 4 Market Phases:
CONTINUATION 🟢 - Uptrend (EMA rising) + Strong momentum (RSI > 55)
Translation: "Trend is strong, keep riding it"
SLOWING 🟠 - Two scenarios:
Uptrend but momentum fading (RSI ≤ 55), OR
Downtrend but momentum not fully committed (RSI ≥ 45)
Translation: "Trend losing steam, be cautious"
EXHAUSTION 🔴 - Downtrend (EMA falling) + Weak momentum (RSI < 45)
Translation: "Trend is dying, possible reversal coming"
NEUTRAL ⚪ - Anything that doesn't fit above (shouldn't happen much with these thresholds)
Multi-Timeframe View:
Shows phases for:
Chart TF - Whatever timeframe you're viewing (only updates on confirmed bar close)
5m - Always shows 5-minute phase
15m - Always shows 15-minute phase
Visual Cues:
Background color changes based on the live chart timeframe phase (updates in real-time, not waiting for bar close)
Table shows confirmed phases for all timeframes
Practical Use:
Helps you understand if different timeframes are aligned. For example:
All 3 showing CONTINUATION = strong aligned trend, high confidence trades
15m EXHAUSTION but 5m CONTINUATION = possible short-term bounce in downtrend
Mixed signals = choppy/transitional market, stay cautious
It's basically a trend health checker across multiple timeframes at a glance! I am also in the works of adding every higher time frame so that it will consist of 5 min all the way to the 12 mo time frame i will keep you guys updated as i update this indicator.
Test此指標為測試階段
最近手法改變,高點出現率後移,
此指標為爆量後跌破12ema才放空,
由於操盤手還是可以騙線,故時間設定為10:00之後成功率比較大
This indicator is in the testing phase.
Recently, the method has changed, and the occurrence rate of high points has shifted later.
This indicator only calls for shorting after a surge in volume followed by a drop below the 12-day moving average (EMA).
Because traders can still create false signals, setting the time after 10:00 AM increases the success rate.

A comprehensive swing trading indicator for TradingView that combines multiple confluence factors to identify high-probability trade setups with built-in risk management.
## 🎯 Overview
This indicator is designed for swing traders who want to catch momentum pullbacks with precision entries. It filters trades using multiple timeframe analysis, RSI zones, volume confirmation, and EMA trends to deliver only the highest-confidence setups.
### Key Features
✅ **Multi-Timeframe Confluence** - Confirms trades with higher timeframe analysis (Daily, 4H, etc.)
✅ **Smart Entry Signals** - Detects pullback-to-EMA reclaim patterns
✅ **Automatic Risk Management** - Calculates stops, targets, and R-multiples
✅ **Dynamic Stop Loss** - ATR trailing stop + break-even automation
✅ **Real-Time HUD Dashboard** - Live confluence scoring and trade metrics
✅ **Comprehensive Alerts** - Entry, TP1, TP2, and stop-loss notifications
✅ **Visual Trade Levels** - Clear on-chart stop-loss and take-profit lines
---
## 📊 How It Works
### Signal Logic
The indicator identifies two types of signals:
**Base Signals** (Small triangles):
- Price pulls back between Fast EMA and Slow EMA
- RSI is in the swing zone (40-60 by default)
- Price reclaims the Fast EMA with momentum
- Optional: Volume spike confirmation
**High-Confidence Signals** (Large triangles):
- All base signal criteria met
- Higher timeframe confirms the trend direction
- HTF RSI and slope alignment
- These are your primary trade signals
### Entry Conditions
#### Long Entry (🟢 HC L)
1. Fast EMA > Slow EMA (uptrend)
2. Previous candle closed between the EMAs (pullback)
3. Current candle crosses above and closes above Fast EMA (reclaim)
4. RSI between 40-60 (swing zone)
5. **HTF Confirmation**: Daily/4H price above EMA50, RSI > 50, positive slope
6. Optional: Volume > 1.5x 20-bar average
#### Short Entry (🔻 HC S)
1. Fast EMA < Slow EMA (downtrend)
2. Previous candle closed between the EMAs (pullback)
3. Current candle crosses below and closes below Fast EMA (reclaim)
4. RSI between 40-60 (swing zone)
5. **HTF Confirmation**: Daily/4H price below EMA50, RSI < 50, negative slope
6. Optional: Volume > 1.5x 20-bar average

---
## 📋 Trading Workflow
### 1. Wait for High-Confidence Signal
Look for the large **HC L** or **HC S** triangle on chart close.
### 2. Verify Confluence
Check the HUD dashboard:
- Confidence score should be 70%+
- HTF status should show alignment
- RSI Zone should be "YES"
### 3. Entry
Enter the trade at market or on next candle open.
### 4. Set Stop Loss
Use the **initial stop** shown in the HUD (red line on chart):
- **Longs**: Below the swing low (10-bar lookback)
- **Shorts**: Above the swing high (10-bar lookback)
### 5. Set Take Profits
- **TP1**: 1R (50% position close) - Yellow line
- **TP2**: 2R (remaining 50% close) - Green line
### 6. Manage the Trade
- Monitor the **R Risk** column to track profit
- Stop moves to break-even automatically after 1R (if enabled)
- ATR trailing stop engages dynamically (red line adjusts)
- Exit if price hits dynamic stop level

## 🎨 Visual Guide
### On-Chart Elements
**Triangles**:
- Small lime/red triangles = Base signals (lower confidence)
- Large lime/red triangles = High-confidence signals (trade these!)
**Lines**:
- 🟢 Green line = Fast EMA (20)
- 🟠 Orange line = Slow EMA (50)
- 🔴 Red line = Dynamic stop-loss level
- 🟡 Yellow line = TP1 level

---
## 💡 Strategy Tips
### Best Practices
1. **Only trade High-Confidence signals** - Ignore base signals unless very experienced
2. **Respect the HTF** - Don't fight the higher timeframe trend
3. **Use proper position sizing** - Risk 1-2% of account per trade
4. **Partial profits work** - Take 50% off at TP1, let rest run to TP2
5. **Let winners run** - Trailing stop helps capture extended moves
6. **Be patient** - Quality over quantity; wait for 70%+ confluence
### Optimal Timeframes
- **Primary Chart**: 1H, 4H, Daily (swing trading)
- **HTF Setting**: One level higher than your chart
- If trading 1H → Set HTF to 4H or D
- If trading 4H → Set HTF to D or W
- If trading Daily → Set HTF to W
### Market Conditions
**Best Performance**:
- Trending markets with healthy pullbacks
- Clear support/resistance zones
- Moderate volatility
**Avoid Trading**:
- Extremely choppy/sideways markets
- Major news events (unless experienced)
- Low confidence scores (<40%)

[AlscapeLabs] HTF Candle Stack (Multi-Timeframe)
Overview
The HTF Candle Stack (Multi-TF) indicator is a powerful visualization tool designed to overlay high-timeframe (HTF) price action directly onto your current chart, independent of the chart's price scale. This gives traders a clear, aligned, and non-overlapping view of simultaneous price movements across customizable timeframes.
By stacking the candles horizontally next to the chart's price action, the indicator allows for quick identification of multi-timeframe correlation, trend confluence, and key levels without switching chart timeframes.
Key Features
6 Independent Stacks: Configure up to 6 separate timeframes (e.g., 5m, 15m, 1H, 4H, Daily, Weekly) to view the complete market fractals from micro to macro.
Price-Aligned Visualization : All HTF candle stacks are perfectly aligned with the main chart's vertical price axis
Replay Mode Safe : Includes dedicated logic to prevent "duplicate candles" during Bar Replay, ensuring accurate backtesting and historical analysis.
Toggleable Stacks : Each stack can be individually enabled or disabled via input settings
Dynamic Spacing : The distance between active stacks is automatically calculated and adjusted based on the visibility of the preceding stack.
