Heikin Ashi TSI and OTT [Erebor]TSI (True Strength Index)
The TSI (True Strength Index) is a momentum-based trading indicator used to identify trend direction, overbought/oversold conditions, and potential trend reversals in financial markets. It was developed by William Blau and first introduced in 1991.
Here's how the TSI indicator is calculated:
• Double Smoothed Momentum (DM): This is calculated by applying double smoothing to the price momentum. First, the single smoothed momentum is calculated by subtracting the smoothed closing price from the current closing price. Then, this single smoothed momentum is smoothed again using an additional smoothing period.
• Absolute Smoothed Momentum (ASM): This is calculated by applying smoothing to the absolute value of the price momentum. Similar to DM, ASM applies a smoothing period to the absolute value of the difference between the current closing price and the smoothed closing price.
• TSI Calculation: The TSI is calculated as the ratio of DM to ASM, multiplied by 100 to express it as a percentage. Mathematically, TSI = (DM / ASM) * 100.
The TSI indicator oscillates around a centerline (typically at zero), with positive values indicating bullish momentum and negative values indicating bearish momentum. Traders often look for crossovers of the TSI above or below the centerline to identify shifts in momentum and potential trend reversals. Additionally, divergences between price and the TSI can signal weakening trends and potential reversal points.
Pros of the TSI indicator:
• Smoothed Momentum: The TSI uses double smoothing techniques, which helps to reduce noise and generate smoother signals compared to other momentum indicators.
• Versatility: The TSI can be applied to various financial instruments and timeframes, making it suitable for both short-term and long-term trading strategies.
• Trend Identification: The TSI is effective in identifying the direction and strength of market trends, helping traders to align their positions with the prevailing market sentiment.
Cons of the TSI indicator:
• Lagging Indicator: Like many momentum indicators, the TSI is a lagging indicator, meaning it may not provide timely signals for entering or exiting trades during rapidly changing market conditions.
• False Signals: Despite its smoothing techniques, the TSI can still produce false signals, especially during periods of low volatility or ranging markets.
• Subjectivity: Interpretation of the TSI signals may vary among traders, leading to subjective analysis and potential inconsistencies in trading decisions.
Overall, the TSI indicator can be a valuable tool for traders when used in conjunction with other technical analysis tools and risk management strategies. It can help traders identify potential trading opportunities and confirm trends, but it's essential to consider its limitations and incorporate additional analysis for more robust trading decisions.
Heikin Ashi Candles
Let's consider a modification to the traditional “Heikin Ashi Candles” where we introduce a new parameter: the period of calculation. The traditional HA candles are derived from the open , high low , and close prices of the underlying asset.
Now, let's introduce a new parameter, period, which will determine how many periods are considered in the calculation of the HA candles. This period parameter will affect the smoothing and responsiveness of the resulting candles.
In this modification, instead of considering just the current period, we're averaging or aggregating the prices over a specified number of periods . This will result in candles that reflect a longer-term trend or sentiment, depending on the chosen period value.
For example, if period is set to 1, it would essentially be the same as traditional Heikin Ashi candles. However, if period is set to a higher value, say 5, each candle will represent the average price movement over the last 5 periods, providing a smoother representation of the trend but potentially with delayed signals compared to lower period values.
Traders can adjust the period parameter based on their trading style, the timeframe they're analyzing, and the level of smoothing or responsiveness they prefer in their candlestick patterns.
Optimized Trend Tracker
The "Optimized Trend Tracker" is a proprietary trading indicator developed by TradingView user ANIL ÖZEKŞİ. It is designed to identify and track trends in financial markets efficiently. The indicator attempts to smooth out price fluctuations and provide clear signals for trend direction.
The Optimized Trend Tracker uses a combination of moving averages and adaptive filters to detect trends. It aims to reduce lag and noise typically associated with traditional moving averages, thereby providing more timely and accurate signals.
Some of the key features and applications of the OTT include:
• Trend Identification: The indicator helps traders identify the direction of the prevailing trend in a market. It distinguishes between uptrends, downtrends, and sideways consolidations.
• Entry and Exit Signals: The OTT generates buy and sell signals based on crossovers and direction changes of the trend. Traders can use these signals to time their entries and exits in the market.
• Trend Strength: It also provides insights into the strength of the trend by analyzing the slope and momentum of price movements. This information can help traders assess the conviction behind the trend and adjust their trading strategies accordingly.
• Filter Noise: By employing adaptive filters, the indicator aims to filter out market noise and false signals, thereby enhancing the reliability of trend identification.
• Customization: Traders can customize the parameters of the OTT to suit their specific trading preferences and market conditions. This flexibility allows for adaptation to different timeframes and asset classes.
Overall, the OTT can be a valuable tool for traders seeking to capitalize on trending market conditions while minimizing false signals and noise. However, like any trading indicator, it is essential to combine its signals with other forms of analysis and risk management strategies for optimal results. Additionally, traders should thoroughly back-test the indicator and practice using it in a demo environment before applying it to live trading.
The following types of moving average have been included: "SMA", "EMA", "SMMA (RMA)", "WMA", "VWMA", "HMA", "KAMA", "LSMA", "TRAMA", "VAR", "DEMA", "ZLEMA", "TSF", "WWMA". Thanks to the authors.

Renko StrategyRENKO STRATEGY
CAUTION : This strategy must be applied to a candlestick chart (not a Renko chart).
INTRODUCTION :
The Traditional Renko chart has been reproduced and is plotted according to the evolution of the price. It will enable us to receive buy or sell signals and follow major trends. This is a medium/long term strategy and depends a lot on the box size chosen in the parameters. There's also a money management method allowing us to reinvest part of the profits or reduce the size of orders in the event of substantial losses.
RENKO CHART :
Renko chart construction methodology :
The user must first choose the box size. The minimum is 0.00001 and there is no maximum. The default is 10. The user must then choose the source that will define the data on which the calculations will be based (high, low, open, close). By default, close is selected. The first candle on the chart is used to draw the first box with its high and low.
Each time the price changes by the amount of the box size relative to the high or low of the last box, a new box is added above or below the previous one. If price variations are less than the box size, the same box is added next to the previous one. If price variations are N (integer number) times greater than box size, N boxes are added above or below the previous one. Each box added above the previous one is a green box, while each box added below the previous one is a red box.
Conditions for drawing a green box above the previous one :
(source - high_of_the_last_box) / box_size > 1
Condition for drawing a red box below the previous one :
(low_of_the_last_box - source) / box_size > 1
If neither condition is triggered, the same box is drawn next to the previous one.
Example :
The last candle has drawn a box with low 12 and high 14. The box size is therefore 2. The strategy will look at the value of the close each time a candle ends. The current candle closes with a close equal to 15.5. As the variation from the previous high is only 1.5 (which is less than the box size), the same box is added next to the previous one. The next candle closes at 16.2. The price variation is therefore 2.2 compared with the previous high. We can now add a new green box just above the previous one, with a low of 14 and a high of 16. The same process applies if the candle's close is at least one box size below the low of the last box. In this case, a new red box is placed below the previous one.
PARAMETERS :
Source : Allows you to specify which data will be taken into account by the strategy when performing calculations. The default is close.
Box size : Size of Renko graph boxes. This is a very important parameter to choose carefully, as it has a strong impact on the strategy's performance. Defaults to 10.
Fixed Ratio : This is the amount of gain or loss at which the order quantity is changed. The default is 400, meaning that for each $400 gain or loss, the order size is increased or decreased by a user-selected amount.
Increasing Order Amount : This is the amount to be added to or subtracted from orders when the fixed ratio is reached. The default is $200, which means that for every $400 gain, $200 is reinvested in the strategy. On the other hand, for every $400 loss, the order size is reduced by $200.
Initial capital : $1000
Fees : Interactive Broker fees apply to this strategy. They are set at 0.18% of the trade value.
Slippage : 3 ticks or $0.03 per trade. Corresponds to the latency time between the moment the signal is received and the moment the order is executed by the broker.
Important : A bot has been used to test all possible box sizes to find out which one generates the highest return on BITSTAMP:LTCUSD while limiting the drawdown. This strategy is the most optimal with a box size equal to 5.08 in 8h timeframe.
BUY AND SHORT SIGNALS :
As the aim of this strategy is to follow major trends based on price movements, we need to be on the right side of price fluctuation. We trade every box reversal, i.e. we are LONG when the boxes are green indicating an uptrend and SHORT when they are red indicating a downtrend.
RISK MANAGEMENT :
This strategy can incur losses. The size of the box is decisive, as it is used to plot the RENKO chart and thus trigger buy or sell signals. It's also what allows us to manage risk. For every trade, we risk a maximum amount equal to 2 times the size of the box, i.e. :(5.08*2*nb_contract)/trade_value.
MONEY MANAGEMENT :
The fixed ratio method has been used to manage our gains and losses. For each gain of an amount equal to the value of the fixed ratio, we increase the order size by a value defined by the user in the "Increasing order amount" parameter. Similarly, each time we lose an amount equal to the value of the fixed ratio, we decrease the order size by the same user-defined value. This strategy not only increases our performance, but also our drawdown.
Enjoy the strategy and don't forget to take the trade :)
Volume Candlesticks [cajole]
This script lets you create the equivalent of "volume candlesticks" in TradingView.
"Volume candlesticks" normally vary their width according to the bar's volume. This script varies COLOUR instead of WIDTH.
Bar charts are also supported.
Candles/Bars are coloured by their distance from the average volume. You can also add a "huge volume" colour to further highlight the most extremely-high volume bars.
Note that volume is extrapolated for incomplete bars by default. So, if the average volume of the past 10 days is 5M shares, and 5M shares trade in the first 10% of today's session, that bar will be coloured as though 50M shares have traded. Set the "Extrapolate" option to 1.0 to disable this.
For this script to work properly, you should set TradingView's default candle/bar colours to be at least 20% transparent. By default, TradingView tends to overlay its own bars on top of indicators.
Nerdy details:
The script works best on a dark background, because it is easier to change the hue of white bars than of black bars. If you find a set of colours that work for white backgrounds, please comment with them!
The geometric mean is used instead of the arithmetic mean, to keep the 'average' from being strongly influenced by spikes. Bars are
then coloured by assuming a normal probability distribution and highlighting outliers. (This means that the first high-volume bars are coloured differently to later ones.)
ICT Market Structure and OTE ZoneThis indicator is based on the ICT (Inner Circle Trader) concepts, and it helps identify daily market structure and the optimal trade entry (OTE) zone based on Fibonacci retracement levels.
To read and interpret this indicator, follow these steps:
Daily High and Low: The red line represents the daily high, while the green line represents the daily low. These lines help you understand the market structure and the range within which the price has moved during the previous day.
OTE Zone: The gray area between two gray lines represents the optimal trade entry (OTE) zone. This zone is calculated using Fibonacci retracement levels (in this case, 61.8% and 78.6%) applied to the previous day's high and low. The OTE zone is an area where traders might expect a higher probability of a price reversal, following the ICT concepts.
To use this indicator for trading decisions, you should consider the following:
Identify the market structure and overall trend (uptrend, downtrend, or ranging).
Watch for price action to enter the OTE zone. When the price reaches the OTE zone, it may indicate a higher probability of a price reversal.
Combine the OTE zone with other confluences, such as support and resistance levels, candlestick patterns, or additional ICT concepts like order blocks and market maker profiles, to strengthen your trading decisions.
Always use proper risk management and stop-loss orders to protect your capital in case the market moves against your trade.
Keep in mind that the provided indicator is a simple example based on the ICT concepts and should not be considered financial advice. The ICT methodology is vast, and traders often combine multiple concepts to develop their trading strategies. The provided indicator should be treated as a starting point to explore and implement the ICT concepts in your trading strategy.
Market Signals ComplexMIC is an indicator made from some standard deviations of Bollinger Bands, an EMA ribbon, some oscillators like the RSI, and some candlestick patterns like Bearish and Bullish Engulfing candles. It uses these parameters to help you trade/find high-interest zones in the short time as well as the long term. It can be used in any market.

No Wick Candlestick Identifier_GOVS1. Identification of Candlestick Patterns: The script checks each candlestick to determine if it meets the criteria for a "no wick" pattern. For bullish candles, it identifies those with no bottom wick, where the open price is equal to the low and the close price is greater than the open. For bearish candles, it identifies those with no top wick, where the open price is equal to the high and the close price is lower than the open.
2. Visualization: The script plots small triangles on the chart to highlight the identified candlestick patterns. Green triangles are plotted below bullish candles with no bottom wick, while red triangles are plotted above bearish candles with no top wick.
3. Drawing Lines and Labels: Additionally, the script draws lines extending from the opening price of these candles to the right edge of the screen, visually indicating the duration of these patterns. It also adds a label "Compensation" next to each line.
Heikin Ashi Candle Startegy for Long PositionThis strategy utilize Heikin-Ashi candlestick chart.
Heikin-Ashi technique is a Japanese candlestick-based technical trading tool that uses candlestick charts to represent and visualize market price data.
Heikin-Ashi candle is essentially taking an average of the movement.
There is a tendency with Heikin-Ashi for the candles to stay red during a downtrend and green during an uptrend.
This strategy only apply for long trading position.
The idea is trader will waiting 3 green candles for validation period (confirmation) before entering long position.
Different timeframe will result different result.
Number of validation period can be changed to see different result
This strategy has parameter for take profit percentage, trailing stop and stop loss.
User can set maximum active position to minimize risk and qty order.
This tool is useful for user who wants to backtest Heikin-Ashi trading strategy.
Script will emit alert when long position is opened and closed.
Warning of Backtesting
Backtesting is backward-looking. As the name implies, you are testing how something would have worked if you traded it perfectly in the past.
Past performance does not indicate future performance and you should not assume it does.
Backtesting assumes you never miss-fire, that you get in and out at the exactly perfect moment each time.
Backtesting assumes you have perfect liquidity, and your limit orders fill at a specific, pre-defined price every time (either the open, close, low, high, or some average of these).

YTC Candlestick SentimentMy recent discovery in terms of trading learning materials is "YTC Price Action Trader" book. It contains numerous invaluable clues, which I couldn't find anywhere else.
One YTC chapter covers Candle Sentiment analysis. Watching where 'close' of the candle happens can give early hints about future market action. Most of time you get those hints before the indicators provide it.
So there are two ways to look at candles:
1. Close Sentiment
This is single-candle analysis. Divide entire range of a candle (low to high) into 3 equal parts. The candle is:
- "High Close" - if 'close' is in the upper 1/3
- "Mid Close" - if 'close' is in the middle 1/3
- "Low Close" - if 'close' is in the lower 1/3
This is illustrated by the blue plot on "YTC Candlestick Sentiment" indicator.
2. Close Comparison
Compare position of 'close' with entire range of the previous candle. The candle is:
- Bull Candle - if 'close' is above 'high' of the previous candle
- Range Candle - if 'close' is between 'high' and 'low' of the previous candle
- Bear Candle - if 'close' is below 'low' of the previous candle
This is illustrated by the background on "YTC Candlestick Sentiment" indicator.
What can you do with this? It gives very good and early reversal hints. Mid/ranging signals should be considered "no signals" - in other words: market will continue in the same direction.
This indicator should be used as confirmation to other signals (as a standalone YTC Candlestick Sentiment produces too many reversal signals).

ECO (Blau`s Ergodic Candlestick Oscillator) We call this one the ECO for short, but it will be listed on the indicator list
at W. Blau’s Ergodic Candlestick Oscillator. The ECO is a momentum indicator.
It is based on candlestick bars, and takes into account the size and direction
of the candlestick "body". We have found it to be a very good momentum indicator,
and especially smooth, because it is unaffected by gaps in price, unlike many other
momentum indicators.
We like to use this indicator as an additional trend confirmation tool, or as an
alternate trend definition tool, in place of a weekly indicator. The simplest way
of using the indicator is simply to define the trend based on which side of the "0"
line the indicator is located on. If the indicator is above "0", then the trend is up.
If the indicator is below "0" then the trend is down. You can add an additional
qualifier by noting the "slope" of the indicator, and the crossing points of the slow
and fast lines. Some like to use the slope alone to define trend direction. If the
lines are sloping upward, the trend is up. Alternately, if the lines are sloping
downward, the trend is down. In this view, the point where the lines "cross" is the
point where the trend changes.
When the ECO is below the "0" line, the trend is down, and we are qualified only to
sell on new short signals from the Hi-Lo Activator. In other words, when the ECO is
above 0, we are not allowed to take short signals, and when the ECO is below 0, we
are not allowed to take long signals.
M2 Global Liquidity Index (Candles)M2 Global Liquidity Index (Candles)
In this enhanced version of the original M2 Global Liquidity Index script by Mik3Christ3ns3n , I've taken the foundational concept and expanded its capabilities for more in-depth analysis and user flexibility. This updated script aggregates M2 money supply data from major global economies—China, the U.S., the Eurozone, Japan, and the U.K.—adjusted by their respective exchange rates, into a customizable global liquidity index.
Key Enhancements:
Candlestick Visualization:
• Instead of a simple line chart, I've implemented a candlestick chart, providing a more detailed representation of liquidity trends with open, high, low, and close values for each period. This allows traders to analyze the index with the same technical tools used for price charts.
Customizable Components:
• Users can now select which components (M2 data and exchange rates) to include in the index calculation, giving you the flexibility to tailor the index to specific economic factors or regions of interest.
Dynamic Color Coding:
• Candles are color-coded based on their performance (bullish or bearish), with customized wick and border colors to enhance visual clarity, making it easier to spot liquidity trends at a glance.
Overlay Option:
• This script is designed to be an overlay, allowing you to plot the Global Liquidity Index directly on your price charts, facilitating comparison between liquidity trends and asset prices.
This enhanced script is ideal for traders and analysts who want a deeper understanding of global liquidity trends and their impact on financial markets.
On Balance Volume Heikin-Ashi Transformed
The OBV Heikin Ashi indicator is a modified version of the On-Balance Volume indicator that incorporates the Heikin Ashi transformation. This technical tool aims to provide traders with a smoother representation of volume dynamics and price trends.
The OBV Heikin Ashi indicator combines the principles of OBV and Heikin Ashi to offer insights into the volume and price behavior of an asset. Understanding OBV and Heikin Ashi individually will provide a foundation for comprehending the uniqueness and utility of this indicator.
On-Balance Volume:
OBV is a volume-based indicator that measures the cumulative buying and selling pressure in the market. It considers the relationship between volume and price movements to determine the overall strength and direction of a trend. Rising OBV values suggest bullish buying pressure, while falling values indicate bearish selling pressure.
Heikin Ashi:
Heikin Ashi is a Japanese candlestick charting technique that aims to filter out noise and provide a smoother representation of price trends. It calculates each candlestick based on the average of the previous candle's open, close, high, and low prices. Heikin Ashi candles can reveal the underlying trend more clearly by reducing market noise.
Methodology:
The 𝘖𝘉𝘝 𝘏-𝘈 indicator applies the Heikin Ashi transformation to the OBV values. Each OBV value is replaced with a Heikin Ashi equivalent, which is calculated based on the average of the previous Heikin Ashi candle's open and close prices. This transformation smooths out the OBV values and helps identify the overall trend with reduced noise. Additionaly, 2 optional EMAs are included for convergence-divergence analysis.
By applying the Heikin Ashi transformation to OBV, the indicator aims to enhance the readability of volume and trend information, providing traders with a clearer understanding of market dynamics.
Utility:
The 𝘖𝘉𝘝 𝘏-𝘈 indicator can be a valuable tool for traders and investors in analyzing volume and price trends. It offers a smoother representation of OBV values, allowing for easier identification of trend reversals, bullish or bearish market conditions, and potential trading opportunities. Traders can utilize the indicator to confirm price trends, validate support and resistance levels, and enhance their overall trading strategies.
It is worth noting that the effectiveness of the indicator may vary depending on the specific market and trading strategy. It is recommended to combine its analysis with other technical indicators and perform thorough backtesting before making trading decisions.
Key Features:
2 Adjustable EMAs
Normalized Oscillator Mode

Price Displacement - Candlestick (OHLC) CalculationsA Magical little helper friend for Candle Math.
When composing scripts, it is often necessary to manipulate the math around the OHLC. At times, you want a scalar (absolute) value others you want a vector (+/-). Sometimes you want the open - close and sometimes you want just the positive number of the body size. You might want it in ticks or you might want it in points or you might want in percentages. And every time you try to put it together you waste precious time and brain power trying to think about how to properly structure what you're looking for. Not to mention it's normally not that aesthetically pleasing to look at in the code.
So, this fixes all of that.
Using this library. A function like 'pd.pt(_exp)' can call any kind of candlestick math you need. The function returns the candlestick math you define using particular expressions.
Candle Math Functions Include:
Points:
pt(_exp) Absolute Point Displacement. Point quantity of given size parameters according to _exp.
vpt(_exp) Vector Point Displacement. Point quantity of given size parameters according to _exp.
Ticks:
tick(_exp) Absolute Tick Displacement. Tick quantity of given size parameters according to _exp.
vtick(_exp) Vector Tick Displacement. Tick quantity of given size parameters according to _exp.
Percentages:
pct(_exp, _prec) Absolute Percent Displacement. (w/rounding overload). Percent quantity of bar range of given size parameters according to _exp.
vpct(_exp, _prec) Vector Percent Displacement (w/rounding overload). Percent quantity of bar range of given size parameters according to _exp.
Expressions You Can Use with Formulas:
The expressions are simple (simple strings that is) and I did my best to make them sensible, generally using just the ohlc abreviations. I also included uw, lw, bd, and rg for when you're just trying to pull a candle component out. That way you don't have to think about which of the ohlc you're trying to get just use pd.tick("uw") and now the variable is assigned the length of the upper wick, absolute value, in ticks. If you wanted the vector in pts its pd.vpt("uw"). It also makes changing things easy too as I write it out.
Expression List:
Combinations
"oh" = open - high
"ol" = open - low
"oc" = open - close
"ho" = high - open
"hl" = high - low
"hc" = high - close
"lo" = low - open
"lh" = low - high
"lc" = low - close
"co" = close - open
"ch" = close - high
"cl" = close - low
Candle Components
"uw" = Upper Wick
"bd" = Body
"lw" = Lower Wick
"rg" = Range
Pct() Only
"scp" = Scalar Close Position
"sop" = Scalar Open Position
"vcp" = Vector Close Position
"vop" = Vector Open Position
The attributes are going to be available in the pop up dialogue when you mouse over the function, so you don't really have to remember them. I tried to make that look as efficient as possible. You'll notice it follows the OHLC pattern. Thus, "oh" precedes "ho" (heyo) because "O" would be first in the OHLC. Its a way to help find the expression you're looking for quickly. Like looking through an alphabetized list for traders.
There is a copy/paste console friendly helper list in the script itself.
Additional Notes on the Pct() Only functions:
This is the original reason I started writing this. These concepts place a rating/value on the bar based on candle attributes in one number. These formulas put a open or close value in a percentile of the bar relative to another aspect of the bar.
Scalar - Non-directional. Absolute Value.
Scalar Position: The position of the price attribute relative to the scale of the bar range (high - low)
Example: high = 100. low = 0. close = 25.
(A) Measure price distance C-L. How high above the low did the candle close (e.g. close - low = 25)
(B) Divide by bar range (high - low). 25 / (100 - 0) = .25
Explaination: The candle closed at the 25th percentile of the bar range given the bar range low = 0 and bar range high = 100.
Formula: scp = (close - low) / (high - low)
Vector = Directional.
Vector Position: The position of the price attribute relative to the scale of the bar midpoint (Vector Position at hl2 = 0)
Example: high = 100. low = 0. close = 25.
(A) Measure Price distance C-L: How high above the low did the candle close (e.g. close - low = 25)
(B) Measure Price distance H-C: How far below the high did the candle close (e.g. high - close = 75)
(C) Take Difference: A - B = C = -50
(D) Divide by bar range (high - low). -50 / (100 - 0) = -0.50
Explaination: Candle close at the midpoint between hl2 and the low.

Interest Zones | @CRYPTOKAZANCEVEnglish Description.
🧠 What This Script Does
This script automatically detects price interest zones — areas where the price repeatedly reacts by forming local swing highs or lows , suggesting heightened supply/demand or market attention. It uses a custom volatility-adjusted range (pseudo-ATR) to dynamically group significant swing points and highlights these zones visually on the chart.
The script is not a mashup or copy of built-in indicators. It’s an original implementation that performs a meaningful calculation based on market structure and volatility to help traders identify important price areas.
⚙️ How It Works
1. Swing Point Detection:
The script identifies swing highs and lows using a configurable lookback window.
2. Zone Candidate Evaluation:
Each swing is checked against a custom zone width (based on ATR and your multiplier). If multiple swings fall within this range, it’s marked as a potential zone.
3. Filtering:
The script keeps only those zones that:
• Contain at least a user-defined number of swing points.
• Do not overlap with stronger (higher swing count) zones.
4. Visualization:
• The strongest zones are drawn as semi-transparent boxes.
• Zones are limited by time (last X candles).
• Optional: Swing highs/lows can be shown on chart.
📊 How to Use
• Use it on any timeframe or asset to identify price regions of interest.
• Combine with volume, trend, or candlestick analysis for entries/exits.
• The number of touches (swing points in a zone) gives insight into zone significance.
This tool is particularly useful for identifying support/resistance areas based on actual price structure rather than arbitrary levels.
🔧 Settings
• Swing Lookback Period: Controls how many candles on each side of a pivot the script checks to detect a local high/low.
• Zone Width Multiplier: Adjusts the volatility-based range. Larger values create wider zones.
• Min Swing Count: Zones with fewer swing points than this won't be shown.
• Max Zones Displayed: Limits the number of zones shown on screen.
• Max Candles for Analysis: Old swing points beyond this range are ignored.
📌 Notes
• No third-party code or mashups used.
• This is a standalone implementation of a concept similar to market structure mapping, tailored to be dynamic and responsive to volatility.
• Ideal for traders who prefer clean, price-action-based analysis.
🇷🇺 Русское описание
🧠 Что делает этот индикатор:
Индикатор автоматически определяет зоны интереса цены — области, где цена многократно формирует локальные максимумы или минимумы (свинги) . Эти зоны могут сигнализировать о повышенном внимании рынка, предложении или спросе. Скрипт использует псевдо-ATR (волатильность на основе среднего диапазона), чтобы динамически определять такие области и выделяет их на графике.
Это не копия стандартных индикаторов и не микс чужих скриптов — это оригинальная разработка , полезная для всех, кто ищет автоматическую разметку важных ценовых уровней.
⚙️ Как работает индикатор
1. Поиск свинг-точек:
Определяются локальные экстремумы с учетом указанного периода.
2. Формирование кандидатов в зоны:
Каждая свинг-точка проверяется, есть ли в её диапазоне другие свинги. Если таких достаточно — зона считается потенциальной.
3. Фильтрация зон:
• Учитываются только зоны с минимумом заданных свингов.
• Перекрывающиеся зоны удаляются в пользу более значимых.
4. Визуализация:
• Отображаются зоны с наибольшим числом касаний.
• Зоны ограничиваются последними X свечами.
• При желании можно отобразить сами свинг-точки.
📊 Как использовать
• Работает на любом таймфрейме и инструменте.
• Используйте совместно с объёмами, трендом или свечным анализом.
• Количество касаний помогает оценить важность зоны.
Полезен тем, кто предпочитает анализ на основе структуры цены, а не произвольных уровней.
🔧 Настройки
• Период свингов: Сколько свечей учитывается по бокам для поиска экстремумов.
• Множитель зоны: Увеличивает диапазон зоны на основе волатильности.
• Мин. количество свингов: Минимум точек в зоне для её отображения.
• Макс. зон на графике: Ограничение по количеству отображаемых зон.
• Макс. свечей анализа: Старые точки за пределами не учитываются.
📌 Примечания
• Не содержит чужих индикаторов или шаблонов.
• Самостоятельная реализация механизма анализа структуры рынка.
Bullish/Bearish Body StrengthThis indicator analyzes candlestick body sizes to measure bullish versus bearish strength over a specified period. Here's what it does:
Features:
- Measures and totals the body sizes of bullish and bearish candles over your chosen lookback period
- Shows the total bullish and bearish body measurements as separate plots
- Calculates and displays a bull/bear ratio (bullish total divided by bearish total)
- Shows the difference between bullish and bearish totals
- Colors the background based on bullish (green) or bearish (red) dominance
- Includes an information table with current values and signals
Customization Options:
- Lookback Period: Set how many bars to analyze (default: 14)
- Normalize by ATR: Option to normalize body sizes by the Average True Range for more consistent measurement across different volatility periods
- Smoothing Period: Apply smoothing to the ratio and difference values
- Display Options: Toggle for showing the bull/bear ratio and bull-bear difference
How to Use:
1. Add the indicator to your chart in TradingView
2. Adjust the lookback period to fit your trading timeframe
3. Watch for:
- When bullish bodies significantly outweigh bearish ones (green dominance)
- When bearish bodies significantly outweigh bullish ones (red dominance)
- Ratio values above 2 (strong bullish signal) or below 0.5 (strong bearish signal)
The indicator provides both visual cues and numerical data to help identify periods of bullish or bearish momentum based on actual price movement rather than just candle count.
Moving Average Candles**Moving Average Candles — MA-Based Smoothed Candlestick Overlay**
This script replaces traditional price candles with smoothed versions calculated using various types of moving averages. Instead of plotting raw price data, each OHLC component (Open, High, Low, Close) is independently smoothed using your selected moving average method.
---
### 📌 Features:
- Choose from 13 MA types: `SMA`, `EMA`, `RMA`, `WMA`, `VWMA`, `HMA`, `T3`, `DEMA`, `TEMA`, `KAMA`, `ZLEMA`, `McGinley`, `EPMA`
- Fully configurable moving average length (1–1000)
- Color-coded candles based on smoothed Open vs Close
- Works directly on price charts as an overlay
---
### 🎯 Use Cases:
- Visualize smoothed market structure more clearly
- Reduce noise in price action for better trend analysis
- Combine with other indicators or strategies for confluence
---
> ⚠️ **Note:** Since all OHLC values are based on moving averages, these candles do **not** represent actual market trades. Use them for trend and structure analysis, not trade entries based on precise levels.

[KVA]Body Percentage Counter This indicator presents a comprehensive view of the historical candle data within user-defined body percentage ranges. Each column represents a specific body size percentage threshold, starting from as low as 0.01% and extending up to 20%.
The rows categorize candles by their closing and opening price differences, effectively sorting them into green (bullish) and red (bearish) candles based on whether they closed higher or lower than their opening prices.
First Row of the table is the bu
For developers, this table can be immensely useful in determining stop-loss ranges. By analyzing the frequency of candles that fall within certain body percentage ranges, developers can better understand where to set stop-loss orders. For instance, if a developer notices a high frequency of candles with body sizes within a specific percentage range, they may choose to set their stop-loss orders outside of this range to avoid being stopped out by normal market fluctuations.
Moreover, the indicator can be used to:
Volatility Assessment : The indicator can be used to gauge market volatility. Smaller bodies may indicate consolidation periods, while larger bodies might suggest more volatile market conditions.
Optimize Trading Strategies : Adjust entry and exit points based on the prevalence of certain candle sizes.
Risk Management : Determine the commonality of price movements within a certain range to better manage risks.
Backtesting : Use historical data to backtest how different stop-loss ranges would have performed in the past.
Comparative Analysis : Traders can compare the frequency of different body sizes over a selected period, providing insights into how the market is evolving.
Educational Use : For new traders, the indicator can serve as an educational tool to understand the implications of candlestick sizes and their relationship with market dynamics
The data provided in this output can guide developers to make more informed decisions about where to place stop-loss orders, potentially increasing the effectiveness of their trading algorithms or manual trading strategies.
The output of the " Body Percentage Counter" indicator is organized into a table format, which can be broken down as follows:
Header (First Row) : This row lists the body percentage thresholds used to categorize the candles. It starts from 0.01% and increases incrementally to 20%. These thresholds are likely set by the user and represent the range of candle body sizes as a percentage of the total candle size.
Green Candle Count (Second Row) : This row displays the count of green candles—candles where the close price is higher than the open price—that fall within each body percentage threshold. For example, under the column "0.01", the number 25 indicates there are 25 green candles whose body size is 0.01% of the total candle size.
Red Candle Count (Third Row) : This row shows the count of red candles—candles where the close price is lower than the open price—for each body percentage threshold. The numbers in this row reflect the number of red candles that match the body percentage criteria in the corresponding column.
Total Candle Count (Fourth Row) : This row sums the counts of both green and red candles for each body percentage threshold, providing a total count of candles that have a body size within the specific range. For instance, if under "0.01" the green count is 25 and the red count is 26, then the total would be 51.
This organized data representation allows users to quickly assess the distribution of candle body sizes over a historical period, which is especially useful for determining the frequency of price movements that are significant enough to consider for stop-loss settings or other trade management decisions.
