Liquidity Swings [Nix]Liquidity Swings Indicator!
It marks recent swing highs and lows on the chart using lines and labels.
Another great feature is that it tracks whether those swing levels are SWEPT (price crosses them again) and either:
Removes swept levels, or
Fades them to indicate they’ve been taken.
You can customize:
Number of swings shown.
Colors, styles, and visibility of lines/labels.
Whether to show highs, lows, or both.
Useful for liquidity analysis.
Usually when these special swings are swept, you can consider moving stops to BE. This is because there should be enough stop losses at the swing points to liquidate others and give more fuel to your trade direction!

Universal Renko Bars by SiddWolfUniversal Renko Bars or UniRenko Bars is an overlay indicator that applies the logic of Renko charting directly onto a standard candlestick chart. It generates a sequence of price-driven bricks, where each new brick is formed only when the price moves a specific amount, regardless of time. This provides a clean, price-action-focused visualization of the market's trend.
WHAT IS UNIVERSAL RENKO BARS?
For years, traders have faced a stark choice: the clean, noise-free world of Renko charts, or the rich, time-based context of Candlesticks. Choosing Renko meant giving up your favorite moving averages, volume profiles, and the fundamental sense of time. Choosing Candlesticks meant enduring the market noise that often clouds true price action.
But what if you didn't have to choose?
Universal Renko Bars is a revolutionary indicator that ends this dilemma. It's not just another charting tool; it's a powerful synthesis that overlays the pure, price-driven logic of Renko bricks directly onto your standard candlestick chart. This hybrid approach gives you the best of both worlds:
❖ The Clarity of Renko: By filtering out the insignificant noise of time, Universal Renko reveals the underlying trend with unparalleled clarity. Up trends are clean successions of green bricks; down trends are clear red bricks. No more guesswork.
❖ The Context of Candlesticks: Because the Renko logic is an overlay, you retain your time axis, your volume data, and full compatibility with every other time-based indicator in your arsenal (RSI, MACD, Moving Averages, etc.).
The true magic, however, lies in its live, Unconfirmed Renko brick. This semi-transparent box is your window into the current bar's real-time struggle. It grows, shrinks, and changes color with every tick, showing you exactly how close the price is to confirming the trend or forcing a reversal. It’s no longer a lagging indicator; it’s a live look at the current battle between buyers and sellers.
Universal Renko Bars unifies these two powerful charting methods, transforming your chart into a more intelligent, noise-free, and predictive analytical canvas.
HOW TO USE
To get the most out of Universal Renko Bars, here are a few tips and a full breakdown of the settings.
Initial Setup for the Best Experience
For the cleanest possible view, it's highly recommended that you hide the body of your standard candlesticks, that shows only the skelton of the candle. This allows the Renko bricks to become the primary focus of your chart.
→ Double click on the candles and uncheck the body checkbox.
Settings Breakdown
The indicator is designed to be powerful yet intuitive. The settings are grouped to make customization easy.
First, What is a "Tick"?
Before we dive in, it's important to understand the concept of a "Tick." In Universal Renko, a Tick is not the same as a market tick. It's a fundamental unit of price movement that you define. For example, if you set the Tick Size to $0.50, then a price move of $1.00 is equal to 2 Ticks. This is the core building block for all Renko bricks. Tick size here is dynamically determined by the settings provided in the indicator.
❖ Calculation Method (The "Tick Size" Engine)
This section determines the monetary value of a single "Tick."
`Calculation Method` : Choose your preferred engine for defining the Tick Size.
`ATR Based` (Default): The Tick Size becomes dynamic, based on market volatility (Average True Range). Bricks will get larger in volatile markets and smaller in quiet ones. Use the `ATR 14 Multiplier` to control the sensitivity.
`Percentage` : The Tick Size is a simple percentage of the current asset price, controlled by the `Percent Size (%)` input.
`Auto` : The "set it and forget it" mode. The script intelligently calculates a Tick Size based on the asset's price. Use the `Auto Sensitivity` slider to make these automatically calculated bricks thicker (value > 1.0) or thinner (value < 1.0).
❖ Parameters (The Core Renko Engine)
This group controls how the bricks are constructed based on the Tick Size.
`Tick Trend` : The number of "Ticks" the price must move in the same direction to print a new continuation brick. A smaller value means bricks form more easily.
`Tick Reversal` : The number of "Ticks" the price must move in the opposite direction to print a new reversal brick. This is typically set higher than `Tick Trend` (e.g., double) to filter out minor pullbacks and market noise.
`Open Offset` : Controls the visual overlap of the bricks. A value of `0` creates gapless bricks that start where the last one ended. A value of `2` (with a `Tick Reversal` of 4) creates the classic 50% overlap look.
❖ Visuals (Controlling What You See)
This is where you tailor the chart to your visual preference.
`Show Confirmed Renko` : Toggles the solid-colored, historical bricks. These are finalized and will never change. They represent the confirmed past trend.
`Show Unconfirmed Renko` : This is the most powerful visual feature. It toggles the live, semi-transparent box that represents the developing brick. It shows you exactly where the price is right now in relation to the levels needed to form the next brick.
`Show Max/Min Levels` : Toggles the horizontal "finish lines" on your chart. The green line is the price target for a bullish brick, and the red line is the target for a bearish brick. These are excellent for spotting breakouts.
`Show Info Label` : Toggles the on-chart label that provides key real-time stats:
🧱 Bricks: The total count of confirmed bricks.
⏳ Live: How many chart bars the current live brick has been forming. These bars forms the Renko bricks that aren't confirmed yet. Live = 0 means the latest renko brick is confirmed.
🌲 Tick Size: The current calculated value of a single Tick.
Hover over the label for a tooltip with live RSI(14), MFI(14), and CCI(20) data for additional confirmation.
TRADING STRATEGIES & IDEAS
Universal Renko Bars isn't just a visual tool; it's a foundation for building robust trading strategies.
Trend Confirmation: The primary use is to instantly identify the trend. A series of green bricks indicates a strong uptrend; a series of red bricks indicates a strong downtrend. Use this to filter out trades that go against the primary momentum.
Reversal Spotting: Pay close attention to the Unconfirmed Brick . When a strong trend is in place and the live brick starts to fight against it—changing color and growing larger—it can be an early warning that a reversal is imminent. Wait for the brick to be confirmed for a higher probability entry.
Breakout Trading: The `Max/Min Levels` are your dynamic breakout zones. A long entry can be considered when the price breaks and closes above the green Max Level, confirming a new bullish brick. A short entry can be taken when price breaks below the red Min Level.
Confluence & Indicator Synergy: This is where Universal Renko truly shines. Overlay a moving average (e.g., 20 EMA). Only take long trades when the green bricks are forming above the EMA. Combine it with RSI or MACD; a bearish reversal brick forming while the RSI shows bearish divergence is a very powerful signal.
A FINAL WORD
Universal Renko Bars was designed to solve a fundamental problem in technical analysis. It brings together the best elements of two powerful methodologies to give you a clearer, more actionable view of the market. By filtering noise while retaining context, it empowers you to make decisions with greater confidence.

Momentum Regression [BackQuant]Momentum Regression
The Momentum Regression is an advanced statistical indicator built to empower quants, strategists, and technically inclined traders with a robust visual and quantitative framework for analyzing momentum effects in financial markets. Unlike traditional momentum indicators that rely on raw price movements or moving averages, this tool leverages a volatility-adjusted linear regression model (y ~ x) to uncover and validate momentum behavior over a user-defined lookback window.
Purpose & Design Philosophy
Momentum is a core anomaly in quantitative finance — an effect where assets that have performed well (or poorly) continue to do so over short to medium-term horizons. However, this effect can be noisy, regime-dependent, and sometimes spurious.
The Momentum Regression is designed as a pre-strategy analytical tool to help you filter and verify whether statistically meaningful and tradable momentum exists in a given asset. Its architecture includes:
Volatility normalization to account for differences in scale and distribution.
Regression analysis to model the relationship between past and present standardized returns.
Deviation bands to highlight overbought/oversold zones around the predicted trendline.
Statistical summary tables to assess the reliability of the detected momentum.
Core Concepts and Calculations
The model uses the following:
Independent variable (x): The volatility-adjusted return over the chosen momentum period.
Dependent variable (y): The 1-bar lagged log return, also adjusted for volatility.
A simple linear regression is performed over a large lookback window (default: 1000 bars), which reveals the slope and intercept of the momentum line. These values are then used to construct:
A predicted momentum trendline across time.
Upper and lower deviation bands , representing ±n standard deviations of the regression residuals (errors).
These visual elements help traders judge how far current returns deviate from the modeled momentum trend, similar to Bollinger Bands but derived from a regression model rather than a moving average.
Key Metrics Provided
On each update, the indicator dynamically displays:
Momentum Slope (β₁): Indicates trend direction and strength. A higher absolute value implies a stronger effect.
Intercept (β₀): The predicted return when x = 0.
Pearson’s R: Correlation coefficient between x and y.
R² (Coefficient of Determination): Indicates how well the regression line explains the variance in y.
Standard Error of Residuals: Measures dispersion around the trendline.
t-Statistic of β₁: Used to evaluate statistical significance of the momentum slope.
These statistics are presented in a top-right summary table for immediate interpretation. A bottom-right signal table also summarizes key takeaways with visual indicators.
Features and Inputs
✅ Volatility-Adjusted Momentum : Reduces distortions from noisy price spikes.
✅ Custom Lookback Control : Set the number of bars to analyze regression.
✅ Extendable Trendlines : For continuous visualization into the future.
✅ Deviation Bands : Optional ±σ multipliers to detect abnormal price action.
✅ Contextual Tables : Help determine strength, direction, and significance of momentum.
✅ Separate Pane Design : Cleanly isolates statistical momentum from price chart.
How It Helps Traders
📉 Quantitative Strategy Validation:
Use the regression results to confirm whether a momentum-based strategy is worth pursuing on a specific asset or timeframe.
🔍 Regime Detection:
Track when momentum breaks down or reverses. Slope changes, drops in R², or weak t-stats can signal regime shifts.
📊 Trade Filtering:
Avoid false positives by entering trades only when momentum is both statistically significant and directionally favorable.
📈 Backtest Preparation:
Before running costly simulations, use this tool to pre-screen assets for exploitable return structures.
When to Use It
Before building or deploying a momentum strategy : Test if momentum exists and is statistically reliable.
During market transitions : Detect early signs of fading strength or reversal.
As part of an edge-stacking framework : Combine with other filters such as volatility compression, volume surges, or macro filters.
Conclusion
The Momentum Regression indicator offers a powerful fusion of statistical analysis and visual interpretation. By combining volatility-adjusted returns with real-time linear regression modeling, it helps quantify and qualify one of the most studied and traded anomalies in finance: momentum.
All SMAs Bullish/Bearish Screener (Enhanced)All SMAs Bullish/Bearish Screener Enhanced: Uncover High-Conviction Trend Alignments with Confidence
Description:
Are you ready to elevate your trading from mere guesswork to precise, data-driven decisions? The "All SMAs Bullish/Bearish Screener Enhanced" is not just another indicator; it's a sophisticated, yet user-friendly, trend-following powerhouse designed to cut through market noise and pinpoint high-probability trading opportunities. Built on the foundational strength of comprehensive Moving Average confluence and fortified with critical confirmation signals from Momentum, Volume, and Relative Strength, this script empowers you to identify truly robust trends and manage your trades with unparalleled clarity.
The Power of Multi-Factor Confluence: Beyond Simple Averages
In the unpredictable world of financial markets, true strength or weakness is rarely an isolated event. It's the harmonious alignment of multiple technical factors that signals a high-conviction move. While our original "All SMAs Bullish/Bearish Screener" intelligently identified stocks where price was consistently above or below a full spectrum of Simple Moving Averages (5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200), this Enhanced version takes it a crucial step further.
We've integrated a powerful three-pronged confirmation system to filter out weaker signals and highlight only the most compelling setups:
Momentum (Rate of Change - ROC): A strong trend isn't just about price direction; it's about the speed and intensity of that movement. Positive momentum confirms that buyers are still aggressively pushing price higher (for bullish signals), while negative momentum validates selling pressure (for bearish signals).
Volume: No trend is truly trustworthy without the backing of smart money. Above-average volume accompanying an "All SMAs" alignment signifies strong institutional participation and conviction behind the move. It separates genuine trend starts from speculative whims.
Relative Strength Index (RSI): This versatile oscillator ensures the trend isn't just "there," but that it's developing healthily. We use RSI to confirm a bullish bias (above 50) or a bearish bias (below 50), adding another layer of confidence to the direction.
When the price aligns above ALL six critical SMAs, and is simultaneously confirmed by robust positive momentum, healthy volume, and a bullish RSI bias, you have an exceptionally strong "STRONGLY BULLISH" signal. This confluence often precedes sustained upward moves, signaling prime accumulation phases. Conversely, a "STRONGLY BEARISH" signal, where price is below ALL SMAs with negative momentum, confirming volume, and a bearish RSI bias, indicates powerful distribution and potential for significant downside.
How to Use This Enhanced Screener:
Add to Chart: Go to TradingView's Pine Editor, paste the script, and click "Add to Chart."
Customize Parameters: Fine-tune the lengths of your SMAs, RSI, Momentum, and Volume averages via the indicator's settings. Experiment to find what best suits your trading style and the assets you trade.
Choose Your Timeframe Wisely:
Daily (1D) and 4-Hour (240 min) are highly recommended. These timeframes cut through intraday noise and provide more reliable, actionable signals for swing and position trading.
Shorter timeframes (e.g., 15min, 60min) can be used by advanced day traders for very short-term entries, but be aware of increased volatility and noise.
Visual Confirmation:
Green/Red Triangles: Appear on your chart, indicating confirmed bullish or bearish signals.
Background Color: The chart background will subtly turn lime green for "STRONGLY BULLISH" and red for "STRONGLY BEARISH" conditions.
On-Chart Status Table: A clear table displays the current signal status ("STRONGLY BULLISH/BEARISH," or "SMAs Mixed") for immediate feedback.
Set Up Alerts (Your Primary Screener Tool): This is the game-changer! Create custom alerts on TradingView based on the "Confirmed Bullish Trade" and "Confirmed Bearish Trade" conditions. Receive instant notifications (email, pop-up, mobile) for any stock in your watchlist that meets these stringent criteria. This allows you to scan the entire market effortlessly and act decisively.
Strategic Stop-Loss Placement: The Trader's Lifeline
Even the most robust signals can fail. Protecting your capital is paramount. For this trend-following strategy, your stop-loss should be placed where the underlying trend structure is broken.
For a "STRONGLY BULLISH" Trade: Place your stop-loss just below the most recent significant swing low (higher low). This is the last point where buyers stepped in to support the price. If price breaks below this, your bullish thesis is invalidated.
For a "STRONGLY BEARISH" Trade: Place your stop-loss just above the most recent significant swing high (lower high). If price breaks above this, your bearish thesis is invalidated.
Alternatively, consider placing your stop-loss just below the 20-period SMA (for bullish trades) or above the 20-period SMA (for bearish trades). A significant close beyond this intermediate-term average often indicates a critical shift in momentum. Always ensure your chosen stop-loss adheres to your pre-defined risk per trade (e.g., 1-2% of capital).
Disciplined Profit Booking: Maximizing Gains
Just as important as knowing when you're wrong is knowing when to take profits.
Trailing Stop-Loss: As your trade moves into profit, trail your stop-loss upwards (for longs) or downwards (for shorts). You can trail it using:
Previous Swing Lows/Highs: Move your stop to just below each new higher low (for longs) or just above each new lower high (for shorts).
A Moving Average (e.g., 10-period or 20-period SMA): If price closes below your chosen trailing SMA, exit. This allows you to ride the trend while protecting accumulated profits.
Target Levels: Identify potential resistance levels (for longs) or support levels (for shorts) using pivot points, previous highs/lows, or Fibonacci extensions. Consider taking partial profits at these levels and letting the rest run with a trailing stop.
Loss of Confluence: If the "STRONGLY BULLISH/BEARISH" condition ceases to be met (e.g., RSI crosses below 50, or volume drops significantly), this can be a signal to reduce or exit your position, even if your stop-loss hasn't been hit.
The "All SMAs Bullish/Bearish Screener Enhanced" is your comprehensive partner in navigating the markets. By combining robust trend identification with critical confirmation signals and disciplined risk management, you're equipped to make smarter, more confident trading decisions. Add it to your favorites and unlock a new level of precision in your trading journey!

Robby DSS Bressert Colored DotsIntroduction
The Robby DSS Bressert Colored Dots is a technical analysis tool designed to measure momentum and identify potential overbought or oversold conditions in a market. It is a visually enhanced version of the Double Smoothed Stochastic (DSS) indicator, which was developed to be a smoother and more responsive version of the traditional Stochastic Oscillator.
This specific version provides at-a-glance information about momentum shifts through the use of colored dots, making it easy to interpret.
The Core Engine: DSS Bressert
The foundation of this indicator is the Double Smoothed Stochastic, a concept attributed to both William Blau and Walter Bressert, who introduced similar ideas. The goal of the DSS is to filter out the "noise" and false signals common in standard oscillators without introducing significant lag.
It achieves this through a two-step smoothing process:
First Smoothing: A standard Stochastic value is calculated based on the price. This value is then smoothed using an Exponential Moving Average (EMA). This creates a cleaner, less erratic line than the raw stochastic.
Second Smoothing: The indicator then takes this newly smoothed line and performs a second Stochastic calculation on it. This result is then smoothed one final time with another EMA.
This double-application of smoothing results in a very clean oscillator line that reacts quickly to price changes but is less prone to whipsaws.
The Visual Modification: "Robby" Colored Dots
The "Robby DSS Bressert Colored Dots" version takes the powerful DSS calculation and adds a unique visual layer for easier interpretation.
Colored Dots: Instead of plotting a continuous line, the indicator displays a dot for each candle. The color of this dot instantly tells you about the indicator's momentum:
Lime/Green dots appear when the DSS value is rising, indicating bullish or positive momentum.
Red dots appear when the DSS value is falling, indicating bearish or negative momentum.
If the value is unchanged, the dot retains the color of the previous one.
The "Robby" Name: In trading communities like Forex Factory and MQL5, it's common for programmers to modify popular indicators. These enhanced versions are often named after the member who created or popularized them. The "Robby" version specifically refers to this popular colored-dot modification of the DSS Bressert.
How to Interpret and Use It
Traders typically use the Robby DSS Bressert Colored Dots in a few key ways:
Momentum Shifts: The most straightforward signal is the change of dot color. A switch from red to lime can signal that downside momentum is waning and a potential move up is beginning. A switch from lime to red signals the opposite.
Overbought & Oversold Conditions: Like a standard stochastic, the indicator uses levels (typically 80 and 20).
When the dots are above 80, the market is considered overbought. A color change from lime to red in this zone can be a strong signal for a potential reversal down.
When the dots are below 20, the market is considered oversold. A color change from red to lime here can signal a potential reversal up.
Trend Confirmation: In a strong uptrend, traders might ignore red dots and use the appearance of lime dots in the oversold zone (or after a minor pullback) as a signal to join the trend. The opposite is true in a downtrend.

DrawZigZag🟩 OVERVIEW
This library draws zigzag lines for existing pivots. It is designed to be simple to use. If your script creates pivots and you want to join them up while handling edge cases, this library does that quickly and efficiently. If you want your pivots created for you, choose one of the many other zigzag libraries that do that.
🟩 HOW TO USE
Pine Script libraries contain reusable code for importing into indicators. You do not need to copy any code out of here. Just import the library and call the function you want.
For example, for version 1 of this library, import it like this:
import SimpleCryptoLife/DrawZigZag/1
See the EXAMPLE USAGE sections within the library for examples of calling the functions.
For more information on libraries and incorporating them into your scripts, see the Libraries section of the Pine Script User Manual.
🟩 WHAT IT DOES
I looked at every zigzag library on TradingView, after finishing this one. They all seemed to fall into two groups in terms of functionality:
• Create the pivots themselves, using a combination of Williams-style pivots and sometimes price distance.
• Require an array of pivot information, often in a format that uses user-defined types.
My library takes a completely different approach.
Firstly, it only does the drawing. It doesn't calculate the pivots for you. This isn't laziness. There are so many ways to define pivots and that should be up to you. If you've followed my work on market structure you know what I think of Williams pivots.
Secondly, when you pass information about your pivots to the library function, you only need the minimum of pivot information -- whether it's a High or Low pivot, the price, and the bar index. Pass these as normal variables -- bools, ints, and floats -- on the fly as your pivots confirm. It is completely agnostic as to how you derive your pivots. If they are confirmed an arbitrary number of bars after they happen, that's fine.
So why even bother using it if all it does it draw some lines?
Turns out there is quite some logic needed in order to connect highs and lows in the right way, and to handle edge cases. This is the kind of thing one can happily outsource.
🟩 THE RULES
• Zigs and zags must alternate between Highs and Lows. We never connect a High to a High or a Low to a Low.
• If a candle has both a High and Low pivot confirmed on it, the first line is drawn to the end of the candle that is the opposite to the previous pivot. Then the next line goes vertically through the candle to the other end, and then after that continues normally.
• If we draw a line up from a Low to a High pivot, and another High pivot comes in higher, we *extend* the line up, and the same for lines down. Yes this is a form of repainting. It is in my opinion the only way to end up with a correct structure.
• We ignore lower highs on the way up and higher lows on the way down.
🟩 WHAT'S COOL ABOUT THIS LIBRARY
• It's simple and lightweight: no exported user-defined types, no helper methods, no matrices.
• It's really fast. In my profiling it runs at about ~50ms, and changing the options (e.g., trimming the array) doesn't make very much difference.
• You only need to call one function, which does all the calculations and draws all lines.
• There are two variations of this function though -- one simple function that just draws lines, and one slightly more advanced method that modifies an array containing the lines. If you don't know which one you want, use the simpler one.
🟩 GEEK STUFF
• There are no dependencies on other libraries.
• I tried to make the logic as clear as I could and comment it appropriately.
• In the `f_drawZigZags` function, the line variable is declared using the `var` keyword *inside* the function, for simplicity. For this reason, it persists between function calls *only* if the function is called from the global scope or a local if block. In general, if a function is called from inside a loop , or multiple times from different contexts, persistent variables inside that function are re-initialised on each call. In this case, this re-initialisation would mean that the function loses track of the previous line, resulting in incorrect drawings. This is why you cannot call the `f_drawZigZags` function from a loop (not that there's any reason to). The `m_drawZigZagsArray` does not use any internal `var` variables.
• The function itself takes a Boolean parameter `_showZigZag`, which turns the drawings on and off, so there is no need to call the function conditionally. In the examples, we do call the functions from an if block, purely as an illustration of how to increase performance by restricting the amount of code that needs to be run.
🟩 BRING ON THE FUNCTIONS
f_drawZigZags(_showZigZag, _isHighPivot, _isLowPivot, _highPivotPrice, _lowPivotPrice, _pivotIndex, _zigzagWidth, _lineStyle, _upZigColour, _downZagColour)
This function creates or extends the latest zigzag line. Takes real-time information about pivots and draws lines. It does not calculate the pivots. It must be called once per script and cannot be called from a loop.
Parameters:
_showZigZag (bool) : Whether to show the zigzag lines.
_isHighPivot (bool) : Whether the current bar confirms a high pivot. Note that pivots are confirmed after the bar in which they occur.
_isLowPivot (bool) : Whether the current bar confirms a low pivot.
_highPivotPrice (float) : The price of the high pivot that was confirmed this bar. It is NOT the high price of the current bar.
_lowPivotPrice (float) : The price of the low pivot that was confirmed this bar. It is NOT the low price of the current bar.
_pivotIndex (int) : The bar index of the pivot that was confirmed this bar. This is not an offset. It's the `bar_index` value of the pivot.
_zigzagWidth (int) : The width of the zigzag lines.
_lineStyle (string) : The style of the zigzag lines.
_upZigColour (color) : The colour of the up zigzag lines.
_downZagColour (color) : The colour of the down zigzag lines.
Returns: The function has no explicit returns. As a side effect, it draws or updates zigzag lines.
method m_drawZigZagsArray(_a_zigZagLines, _showZigZag, _isHighPivot, _isLowPivot, _highPivotPrice, _lowPivotPrice, _pivotIndex, _zigzagWidth, _lineStyle, _upZigColour, _downZagColour, _trimArray)
Namespace types: array
Parameters:
_a_zigZagLines (array)

Returns: This function has no explicit returns but it modifies a global array of zigzag lines.
Market Zone Analyzer[BullByte]Understanding the Market Zone Analyzer
---
1. Purpose of the Indicator
The Market Zone Analyzer is a Pine Script™ (version 6) indicator designed to streamline market analysis on TradingView. Rather than scanning multiple separate tools, it unifies four core dimensions—trend strength, momentum, price action, and market activity—into a single, consolidated view. By doing so, it helps traders:
• Save time by avoiding manual cross-referencing of disparate signals.
• Reduce decision-making errors that can arise from juggling multiple indicators.
• Gain a clear, reliable read on whether the market is in a bullish, bearish, or sideways phase, so they can more confidently decide to enter, exit, or hold a position.
---
2. Why a Trader Should Use It
• Unified View: Combines all essential market dimensions into one easy-to-read score and dashboard, eliminating the need to piece together signals manually.
• Adaptability: Automatically adjusts its internal weighting for trend, momentum, and price action based on current volatility. Whether markets are choppy or calm, the indicator remains relevant.
• Ease of Interpretation: Outputs a simple “BULLISH,” “BEARISH,” or “SIDEWAYS” label, supplemented by an intuitive on-chart dashboard and an oscillator plot that visually highlights market direction.
• Reliability Features: Built-in smoothing of the net score and hysteresis logic (requiring consecutive confirmations before flips) minimize false signals during noisy or range-bound phases.
---
3. Why These Specific Indicators?
This script relies on a curated set of well-established technical tools, each chosen for its particular strength in measuring one of the four core dimensions:
1. Trend Strength:
• ADX/DMI (Average Directional Index / Directional Movement Index): Measures how strong a trend is, and whether the +DI line is above the –DI line (bullish) or vice versa (bearish).
• Moving Average Slope (Fast MA vs. Slow MA): Compares a shorter-period SMA to a longer-period SMA; if the fast MA sits above the slow MA, it confirms an uptrend, and vice versa for a downtrend.
• Ichimoku Cloud Differential (Senkou A vs. Senkou B): Provides a forward-looking view of trend direction; Senkou A above Senkou B signals bullishness, and the opposite signals bearishness.
2. Momentum:
• Relative Strength Index (RSI): Identifies overbought (above its dynamically calculated upper bound) or oversold (below its lower bound) conditions; changes in RSI often precede price reversals.
• Stochastic %K: Highlights shifts in short-term momentum by comparing closing price to the recent high/low range; values above its upper band signal bullish momentum, below its lower band signal bearish momentum.
• MACD Histogram: Measures the difference between the MACD line and its signal line; a positive histogram indicates upward momentum, a negative histogram indicates downward momentum.
3. Price Action:
• Highest High / Lowest Low (HH/LL) Range: Over a defined lookback period, this captures breakout or breakdown levels. A closing price near the recent highs (with a positive MA slope) yields a bullish score, and near the lows (with a negative MA slope) yields a bearish score.
• Heikin-Ashi Doji Detection: Uses Heikin-Ashi candles to identify indecision or continuation patterns. A small Heikin-Ashi body (doji) relative to recent volatility is scored as neutral; a larger body in the direction of the MA slope is scored bullish or bearish.
• Candle Range Measurement: Compares each candle’s high-low range against its own dynamic band (average range ± standard deviation). Large candles aligning with the prevailing trend score bullish or bearish accordingly; unusually small candles can indicate exhaustion or consolidation.
4. Market Activity:
• Bollinger Bands Width (BBW): Measures the distance between BB upper and lower bands; wide bands indicate high volatility, narrow bands indicate low volatility.
• Average True Range (ATR): Quantifies average price movement (volatility). A sudden spike in ATR suggests a volatile environment, while a contraction suggests calm.
• Keltner Channels Width (KCW): Similar to BBW but uses ATR around an EMA. Provides a second layer of volatility context, confirming or contrasting BBW readings.
• Volume (with Moving Average): Compares current volume to its moving average ± standard deviation. High volume validates strong moves; low volume signals potential lack of conviction.
By combining these tools, the indicator captures trend direction, momentum strength, price-action nuances, and overall market energy, yielding a more balanced and comprehensive assessment than any single tool alone.
---
4. What Makes This Indicator Stand Out
• Multi-Dimensional Analysis: Rather than relying on a lone oscillator or moving average crossover, it simultaneously evaluates trend, momentum, price action, and activity.
• Dynamic Weighting: The relative importance of trend, momentum, and price action adjusts automatically based on real-time volatility (Market Activity State). For example, in highly volatile conditions, trend and momentum signals carry more weight; in calm markets, price action signals are prioritized.
• Stability Mechanisms:
• Smoothing: The net score is passed through a short moving average, filtering out noise, especially on lower timeframes.
• Hysteresis: Both Market Activity State and the final bullish/bearish/sideways zone require two consecutive confirmations before flipping, reducing whipsaw.
• Visual Interpretation: A fully customizable on-chart dashboard displays each sub-indicator’s value, regime, score, and comment, all color-coded. The oscillator plot changes color to reflect the current market zone (green for bullish, red for bearish, gray for sideways) and shows horizontal threshold lines at +2, 0, and –2.
---
5. Recommended Timeframes
• Short-Term (5 min, 15 min): Day traders and scalpers can benefit from rapid signals, but should enable smoothing (and possibly disable hysteresis) to reduce false whipsaws.
• Medium-Term (1 h, 4 h): Swing traders find a balance between responsiveness and reliability. Less smoothing is required here, and the default parameters (e.g., ADX length = 14, RSI length = 14) perform well.
• Long-Term (Daily, Weekly): Position traders tracking major trends can disable smoothing for immediate raw readings, since higher-timeframe noise is minimal. Adjust lookback lengths (e.g., increase adxLength, rsiLength) if desired for slower signals.
Tip: If you keep smoothing off, stick to timeframes of 1 h or higher to avoid excessive signal “chatter.”
---
6. How Scoring Works
A. Individual Indicator Scores
Each sub-indicator is assigned one of three discrete scores:
• +1 if it indicates a bullish condition (e.g., RSI above its dynamically calculated upper bound).
• 0 if it is neutral (e.g., RSI between upper and lower bounds).
• –1 if it indicates a bearish condition (e.g., RSI below its dynamically calculated lower bound).
Examples of individual score assignments:
• ADX/DMI:
• +1 if ADX ≥ adxThreshold and +DI > –DI (strong bullish trend)
• –1 if ADX ≥ adxThreshold and –DI > +DI (strong bearish trend)
• 0 if ADX < adxThreshold (trend strength below threshold)
• RSI:
• +1 if RSI > RSI_upperBound
• –1 if RSI < RSI_lowerBound
• 0 otherwise
• ATR (as part of Market Activity):
• +1 if ATR > (ATR_MA + stdev(ATR))
• –1 if ATR < (ATR_MA – stdev(ATR))
• 0 otherwise
Each of the four main categories shares this same +1/0/–1 logic across their sub-components.
B. Category Scores
Once each sub-indicator reports +1, 0, or –1, these are summed within their categories as follows:
• Trend Score = (ADX score) + (MA slope score) + (Ichimoku differential score)
• Momentum Score = (RSI score) + (Stochastic %K score) + (MACD histogram score)
• Price Action Score = (Highest-High/Lowest-Low score) + (Heikin-Ashi doji score) + (Candle range score)
• Market Activity Raw Score = (BBW score) + (ATR score) + (KC width score) + (Volume score)
Each category’s summed value can range between –3 and +3 (for Trend, Momentum, and Price Action), and between –4 and +4 for Market Activity raw.
C. Market Activity State and Dynamic Weight Adjustments
Rather than contributing directly to the netScore like the other three categories, Market Activity determines how much weight to assign to Trend, Momentum, and Price Action:
1. Compute Market Activity Raw Score by summing BBW, ATR, KCW, and Volume individual scores (each +1/0/–1).
2. Bucket into High, Medium, or Low Activity:
• High if raw Score ≥ 2 (volatile market).
• Low if raw Score ≤ –2 (calm market).
• Medium otherwise.
3. Apply Hysteresis (if enabled): The state only flips after two consecutive bars register the same high/low/medium label.
4. Set Category Weights:
• High Activity: Trend = 50 %, Momentum = 35 %, Price Action = 15 %.
• Low Activity: Trend = 25 %, Momentum = 20 %, Price Action = 55 %.
• Medium Activity: Use the trader’s base weight inputs (e.g., Trend = 40 %, Momentum = 30 %, Price Action = 30 % by default).
D. Calculating the Net Score
5. Normalize Base Weights (so that the sum of Trend + Momentum + Price Action always equals 100 %).
6. Determine Current Weights based on the Market Activity State (High/Medium/Low).
7. Compute Each Category’s Contribution: Multiply (categoryScore) × (currentWeight).
8. Sum Contributions to get the raw netScore (a floating-point value that can exceed ±3 when scores are strong).
9. Smooth the netScore over two bars (if smoothing is enabled) to reduce noise.
10. Apply Hysteresis to the Final Zone:
• If the smoothed netScore ≥ +2, the bar is classified as “Bullish.”
• If the smoothed netScore ≤ –2, the bar is classified as “Bearish.”
• Otherwise, it is “Sideways.”
• To prevent rapid flips, the script requires two consecutive bars in the new zone before officially changing the displayed zone (if hysteresis is on).
E. Thresholds for Zone Classification
• BULLISH: netScore ≥ +2
• BEARISH: netScore ≤ –2
• SIDEWAYS: –2 < netScore < +2
---
7. Role of Volatility (Market Activity State) in Scoring
Volatility acts as a dynamic switch that shifts which category carries the most influence:
1. High Activity (Volatile):
• Detected when at least two sub-scores out of BBW, ATR, KCW, and Volume equal +1.
• The script sets Trend weight = 50 % and Momentum weight = 35 %. Price Action weight is minimized at 15 %.
• Rationale: In volatile markets, strong trending moves and momentum surges dominate, so those signals are more reliable than nuanced candle patterns.
2. Low Activity (Calm):
• Detected when at least two sub-scores out of BBW, ATR, KCW, and Volume equal –1.
• The script sets Price Action weight = 55 %, Trend = 25 %, and Momentum = 20 %.
• Rationale: In quiet, sideways markets, subtle price-action signals (breakouts, doji patterns, small-range candles) are often the best early indicators of a new move.
3. Medium Activity (Balanced):
• Raw Score between –1 and +1 from the four volatility metrics.
• Uses whatever base weights the trader has specified (e.g., Trend = 40 %, Momentum = 30 %, Price Action = 30 %).
Because volatility can fluctuate rapidly, the script employs hysteresis on Market Activity State: a new High or Low state must occur on two consecutive bars before weights actually shift. This avoids constant back-and-forth weight changes and provides more stability.
---
8. Scoring Example (Hypothetical Scenario)
• Symbol: Bitcoin on a 1-hour chart.
• Market Activity: Raw volatility sub-scores show BBW (+1), ATR (+1), KCW (0), Volume (+1) → Total raw Score = +3 → High Activity.
• Weights Selected: Trend = 50 %, Momentum = 35 %, Price Action = 15 %.
• Trend Signals:
• ADX strong and +DI > –DI → +1
• Fast MA above Slow MA → +1
• Ichimoku Senkou A > Senkou B → +1
→ Trend Score = +3
• Momentum Signals:
• RSI above upper bound → +1
• MACD histogram positive → +1
• Stochastic %K within neutral zone → 0
→ Momentum Score = +2
• Price Action Signals:
• Highest High/Lowest Low check yields 0 (close not near extremes)
• Heikin-Ashi doji reading is neutral → 0
• Candle range slightly above upper bound but trend is strong, so → +1
→ Price Action Score = +1
• Compute Net Score (before smoothing):
• Trend contribution = 3 × 0.50 = 1.50
• Momentum contribution = 2 × 0.35 = 0.70
• Price Action contribution = 1 × 0.15 = 0.15
• Raw netScore = 1.50 + 0.70 + 0.15 = 2.35
• Since 2.35 ≥ +2 and hysteresis is met, the final zone is “Bullish.”
Although the netScore lands at 2.35 (Bullish), smoothing might bring it slightly below 2.00 on the first bar (e.g., 1.90), in which case the script would wait for a second consecutive reading above +2 before officially classifying the zone as Bullish (if hysteresis is enabled).
---
9. Correlation Between Categories
The four categories—Trend Strength, Momentum, Price Action, and Market Activity—often reinforce or offset one another. The script takes advantage of these natural correlations:
• Bullish Alignment: If ADX is strong and pointed upward, fast MA is above slow MA, and Ichimoku is positive, that usually coincides with RSI climbing above its upper bound and the MACD histogram turning positive. In such cases, both Trend and Momentum categories generate +1 or +2. Because the Market Activity State is likely High (given the accompanying volatility), Trend and Momentum weights are at their peak, so the netScore quickly crosses into Bullish territory.
• Sideways/Consolidation: During a low-volatility, sideways phase, ADX may fall below its threshold, MAs may flatten, and RSI might hover in the neutral band. However, subtle price-action signals (like a small breakout candle or a Heikin-Ashi candle with a slight bias) can still produce a +1 in the Price Action category. If Market Activity is Low, Price Action’s weight (55 %) can carry enough influence—even if Trend and Momentum are neutral—to push the netScore out of “Sideways” into a mild bullish or bearish bias.
• Opposing Signals: When Trend is bullish but Momentum turns negative (for example, price continues up but RSI rolls over), the two scores can partially cancel. Market Activity may remain Medium, in which case the netScore lingers near zero (Sideways). The trader can then wait for either a clearer momentum shift or a fresh price-action breakout before committing.
By dynamically recognizing these correlations and adjusting weights, the indicator ensures that:
• When Trend and Momentum align (and volatility supports it), the netScore leaps strongly into Bullish or Bearish.
• When Trend is neutral but Price Action shows an early move in a low-volatility environment, Price Action’s extra weight in the Low Activity State can still produce actionable signals.
---
10. Market Activity State & Its Role (Detailed)
The Market Activity State is not a direct category score—it is an overarching context setter for how heavily to trust Trend, Momentum, or Price Action. Here’s how it is derived and applied:
1. Calculate Four Volatility Sub-Scores:
• BBW: Compare the current band width to its own moving average ± standard deviation. If BBW > (BBW_MA + stdev), assign +1 (high volatility); if BBW < (BBW_MA × 0.5), assign –1 (low volatility); else 0.
• ATR: Compare ATR to its moving average ± standard deviation. A spike above the upper threshold is +1; a contraction below the lower threshold is –1; otherwise 0.
• KCW: Same logic as ATR but around the KCW mean.
• Volume: Compare current volume to its volume MA ± standard deviation. Above the upper threshold is +1; below the lower threshold is –1; else 0.
2. Sum Sub-Scores → Raw Market Activity Score: Range between –4 and +4.
3. Assign Market Activity State:
• High Activity: Raw Score ≥ +2 (at least two volatility metrics are strongly spiking).
• Low Activity: Raw Score ≤ –2 (at least two metrics signal unusually low volatility or thin volume).
• Medium Activity: Raw Score is between –1 and +1 inclusive.
4. Hysteresis for Stability:
• If hysteresis is enabled, a new state only takes hold after two consecutive bars confirm the same High, Medium, or Low label.
• This prevents the Market Activity State from bouncing around when volatility is on the fence.
5. Set Category Weights Based on Activity State:
• High Activity: Trend = 50 %, Momentum = 35 %, Price Action = 15 %.
• Low Activity: Trend = 25 %, Momentum = 20 %, Price Action = 55 %.
• Medium Activity: Use trader’s base weights (e.g., Trend = 40 %, Momentum = 30 %, Price Action = 30 %).
6. Impact on netScore: Because category scores (–3 to +3) multiply by these weights, High Activity amplifies the effect of strong Trend and Momentum scores; Low Activity amplifies the effect of Price Action.
7. Market Context Tooltip: The dashboard includes a tooltip summarizing the current state—e.g., “High activity, trend and momentum prioritized,” “Low activity, price action prioritized,” or “Balanced market, all categories considered.”
---
11. Category Weights: Base vs. Dynamic
Traders begin by specifying base weights for Trend Strength, Momentum, and Price Action that sum to 100 %. These apply only when volatility is in the Medium band. Once volatility shifts:
• High Volatility Overrides:
• Trend jumps from its base (e.g., 40 %) to 50 %.
• Momentum jumps from its base (e.g., 30 %) to 35 %.
• Price Action is reduced to 15 %.
Example: If base weights were Trend = 40 %, Momentum = 30 %, Price Action = 30 %, then in High Activity they become 50/35/15. A Trend score of +3 now contributes 3 × 0.50 = +1.50 to netScore; a Momentum +2 contributes 2 × 0.35 = +0.70. In total, Trend + Momentum can easily push netScore above the +2 threshold on its own.
• Low Volatility Overrides:
• Price Action leaps from its base (30 %) to 55 %.
• Trend falls to 25 %, Momentum falls to 20 %.
Why? When markets are quiet, subtle candle breakouts, doji patterns, and small-range expansions tend to foreshadow the next swing more effectively than raw trend readings. A Price Action score of +3 in this state contributes 3 × 0.55 = +1.65, which can carry the netScore toward +2—even if Trend and Momentum are neutral or only mildly positive.
Because these weight shifts happen only after two consecutive bars confirm a High or Low state (if hysteresis is on), the indicator avoids constantly flipping its emphasis during borderline volatility phases.
---
12. Dominant Category Explained
Within the dashboard, a label such as “Trend Dominant,” “Momentum Dominant,” or “Price Action Dominant” appears when one category’s absolute weighted contribution to netScore is the largest. Concretely:
• Compute each category’s weighted contribution = (raw category score) × (current weight).
• Compare the absolute values of those three contributions.
• The category with the highest absolute value is flagged as Dominant for that bar.
Why It Matters:
• Momentum Dominant: Indicates that the combined force of RSI, Stochastic, and MACD (after weighting) is pushing netScore farther than either Trend or Price Action. In practice, it means that short-term sentiment and speed of change are the primary drivers right now, so traders should watch for continued momentum signals before committing to a trade.
• Trend Dominant: Means ADX, MA slope, and Ichimoku (once weighted) outweigh the other categories. This suggests a strong directional move is in place; trend-following entries or confirming pullbacks are likely to succeed.
• Price Action Dominant: Occurs when breakout/breakdown patterns, Heikin-Ashi candle readings, and range expansions (after weighting) are the most influential. This often happens in calmer markets, where subtle shifts in candle structure can foreshadow bigger moves.
By explicitly calling out which category is carrying the most weight at any moment, the dashboard gives traders immediate insight into why the netScore is tilting toward bullish, bearish, or sideways.
---
13. Oscillator Plot: How to Read It
The “Net Score” oscillator sits below the dashboard and visually displays the smoothed netScore as a line graph. Key features:
1. Value Range: In normal conditions it oscillates roughly between –3 and +3, but extreme confluences can push it outside that range.
2. Horizontal Threshold Lines:
• +2 Line (Bullish threshold)
• 0 Line (Neutral midline)
• –2 Line (Bearish threshold)
3. Zone Coloring:
• Green Background (Bullish Zone): When netScore ≥ +2.
• Red Background (Bearish Zone): When netScore ≤ –2.
• Gray Background (Sideways Zone): When –2 < netScore < +2.
4. Dynamic Line Color:
• The plotted netScore line itself is colored green in a Bullish Zone, red in a Bearish Zone, or gray in a Sideways Zone, creating an immediate visual cue.
Interpretation Tips:
• Crossing Above +2: Signals a strong enough combined trend/momentum/price-action reading to classify as Bullish. Many traders wait for a clear crossing plus a confirmation candle before entering a long position.
• Crossing Below –2: Indicates a strong Bearish signal. Traders may consider short or exit strategies.
• Rising Slope, Even Below +2: If netScore climbs steadily from neutral toward +2, it demonstrates building bullish momentum.
• Divergence: If price makes a higher high but the oscillator fails to reach a new high, it can warn of weakening momentum and a potential reversal.
---
14. Comments and Their Necessity
Every sub-indicator (ADX, MA slope, Ichimoku, RSI, Stochastic, MACD, HH/LL, Heikin-Ashi, Candle Range, BBW, ATR, KCW, Volume) generates a short comment that appears in the detailed dashboard. Examples:
• “Strong bullish trend” or “Strong bearish trend” for ADX/DMI
• “Fast MA above slow MA” or “Fast MA below slow MA” for MA slope
• “RSI above dynamic threshold” or “RSI below dynamic threshold” for RSI
• “MACD histogram positive” or “MACD histogram negative” for MACD Hist
• “Price near highs” or “Price near lows” for HH/LL checks
• “Bullish Heikin Ashi” or “Bearish Heikin Ashi” for HA Doji scoring
• “Large range, trend confirmed” or “Small range, trend contradicted” for Candle Range
Additionally, the top-row comment for each category is:
• Trend: “Highly Bullish,” “Highly Bearish,” or “Neutral Trend.”
• Momentum: “Strong Momentum,” “Weak Momentum,” or “Neutral Momentum.”
• Price Action: “Bullish Action,” “Bearish Action,” or “Neutral Action.”
• Market Activity: “Volatile Market,” “Calm Market,” or “Stable Market.”
Reasons for These Comments:
• Transparency: Shows exactly how each sub-indicator contributed to its category score.
• Education: Helps traders learn why a category is labeled bullish, bearish, or neutral, building intuition over time.
• Customization: If, for example, the RSI comment says “RSI neutral” despite an impending trend shift, a trader might choose to adjust RSI length or thresholds.
In the detailed dashboard, hovering over each comment cell also reveals a tooltip with additional context (e.g., “Fast MA above slow MA” or “Senkou A above Senkou B”), helping traders understand the precise rule behind that +1, 0, or –1 assignment.
---
15. Real-Life Example (Consolidated)
• Instrument & Timeframe: Bitcoin (BTCUSD), 1-hour chart.
• Current Market Activity: BBW and ATR both spike (+1 each), KCW is moderately high (+1), but volume is only neutral (0) → Raw Market Activity Score = +2 → State = High Activity (after two bars, if hysteresis is on).
• Category Weights Applied: Trend = 50 %, Momentum = 35 %, Price Action = 15 %.
• Trend Sub-Scores:
1. ADX = 25 (above threshold 20) with +DI > –DI → +1.
2. Fast MA (20-period) sits above Slow MA (50-period) → +1.
3. Ichimoku: Senkou A > Senkou B → +1.
→ Trend Score = +3.
• Momentum Sub-Scores:
4. RSI = 75 (above its moving average +1 stdev) → +1.
5. MACD histogram = +0.15 → +1.
6. Stochastic %K = 50 (mid-range) → 0.
→ Momentum Score = +2.
• Price Action Sub-Scores:
7. Price is not within 1 % of the 20-period high/low and slope = positive → 0.
8. Heikin-Ashi body is slightly larger than stdev over last 5 bars with haClose > haOpen → +1.
9. Candle range is just above its dynamic upper bound but trend is already captured, so → +1.
→ Price Action Score = +2.
• Calculate netScore (before smoothing):
• Trend contribution = 3 × 0.50 = 1.50
• Momentum contribution = 2 × 0.35 = 0.70
• Price Action contribution = 2 × 0.15 = 0.30
• Raw netScore = 1.50 + 0.70 + 0.30 = 2.50 → Immediately classified as Bullish.
• Oscillator & Dashboard Output:
• The oscillator line crosses above +2 and turns green.
• Dashboard displays:
• Trend Regime “BULLISH,” Trend Score = 3, Comment = “Highly Bullish.”
• Momentum Regime “BULLISH,” Momentum Score = 2, Comment = “Strong Momentum.”
• Price Action Regime “BULLISH,” Price Action Score = 2, Comment = “Bullish Action.”
• Market Activity State “High,” Comment = “Volatile Market.”
• Weights: Trend 50 %, Momentum 35 %, Price Action 15 %.
• Dominant Category: Trend (because 1.50 > 0.70 > 0.30).
• Overall Score: 2.50, posCount = (three +1s in Trend) + (two +1s in Momentum) + (two +1s in Price Action) = 7 bullish signals, negCount = 0.
• Final Zone = “BULLISH.”
• The trader sees that both Trend and Momentum are reinforcing each other under high volatility. They might wait one more candle for confirmation but already have strong evidence to consider a long.

Supply/Demand Zones + Engulfment-based ExecutionSupply/Demand Zones + Engulfment-Based Execution
Strategy Overview
This strategy combines institutional trading concepts—supply/demand zones and engulfing candle patterns—to generate high-probability long and short trade setups. The system uses aggregated price action to identify potential reversal zones and confirms entries with engulfing candle patterns, ensuring trades are only taken when market structure shows commitment in the direction of the trade.
Core Concepts
• Supply & Demand Zones: These are automatically detected by analyzing aggregated bullish and bearish candle structures over user-defined intervals. Supply zones are formed after bearish continuation patterns; demand zones appear after bullish continuation patterns.
• Engulfing Entries: Once price enters a zone, the strategy waits for a bullish engulfing pattern (in a demand zone) or a bearish engulfing pattern (in a supply zone) before executing a trade. This adds confirmation and reduces false signals.
• Risk Management: Stop-loss is placed at the low (for long trades) or high (for short trades) of the engulfed candle. Take-profit can be calculated using a fixed R-multiple (risk-to-reward ratio) or a user-defined target price.
Key Features
Fully customizable aggregation factor for zone detection
Visual zone boxes, entry/SL/TP boxes, and engulfing pattern labels
Optional removal of mitigated zones for cleaner charting
Configurable trade mode (Long only, Short only, or Both)
Support for trading sessions and date filtering
Alerts for price entering supply or demand zones
How to Use
Select Aggregation Factor: Choose how many candles to group together for identifying key zones (e.g., 4x timeframe).
Enable Zones: Turn on supply and/or demand zones as needed.
Set Execution Parameters:
– Choose R-multiple (e.g., 2:1 risk-reward)
– Or use a fixed take-profit price
Define Trade Time Window:
– Set the date and time ranges to restrict execution
– Use Start Hour and End Hour to limit trades to specific sessions (e.g., London/New York)
Run on Desired Timeframe: Typically used on 15m–4H charts, depending on your strategy and the asset’s volatility.
Ideal For
• Traders using Smart Money Concepts (SMC)
• Those who value high-confluence entries
• Intraday to swing traders looking for structure-based automation
⚠️ Important Notes
• The strategy requires engulfing confirmation within the zone to enter a position.
• This script does not repaint and executes trades on a bar close basis.
• Backtest results may vary based on session filters and aggregation factor.

System 0530 - Stoch RSI Strategy with ATR filterStrategy Description: System 0530 - Multi-Timeframe Stochastic RSI with ATR Filter
Overview:
This strategy, "System 0530," is designed to identify trading opportunities by leveraging the Stochastic RSI indicator across two different timeframes: a shorter timeframe for initial signal triggers (assumed to be the chart's current timeframe, e.g., 5-minute) and a longer timeframe (15-minute) for signal confirmation. It incorporates an ATR (Average True Range) filter to help ensure trades are taken during periods of adequate market volatility and includes a cooldown mechanism to prevent rapid, successive signals in the same direction. Trade exits are primarily handled by reversing signals.
How It Works:
1. Signal Initiation (e.g., 5-Minute Timeframe):
Long Signal Wait: A potential long entry is considered when the 5-minute Stochastic RSI %K line crosses above its %D line, AND the %K value at the time of the cross is at or below a user-defined oversold level (default: 30).
Short Signal Wait: A potential short entry is considered when the 5-minute Stochastic RSI %K line crosses below its %D line, AND the %K value at the time of the cross is at or above a user-defined overbought level (default: 70). When these conditions are met, the strategy enters a "waiting state" for confirmation from the 15-minute timeframe.
2. Signal Confirmation (15-Minute Timeframe):
Once in a waiting state, the strategy looks for confirmation on the 15-minute Stochastic RSI within a user-defined number of 5-minute bars (wait_window_5min_bars, default: 5 bars).
Long Confirmation:
The 15-minute Stochastic RSI %K must be greater than or equal to its %D line.
The 15-minute Stochastic RSI %K value must be below a user-defined threshold (stoch_15min_long_entry_level, default: 40).
Short Confirmation:
The 15-minute Stochastic RSI %K must be less than or equal to its %D line.
The 15-minute Stochastic RSI %K value must be above a user-defined threshold (stoch_15min_short_entry_level, default: 60).
3. Filters:
ATR Volatility Filter: If enabled, trades are only confirmed if the current ATR value (converted to ticks) is above a user-defined minimum threshold (min_atr_value_ticks). This helps to avoid taking signals during periods of very low market volatility. If the ATR condition is not met, the strategy continues to wait for the condition to be met within the confirmation window, provided other conditions still hold.
Signal Cooldown Filter: If enabled, after a signal is generated, the strategy will wait for a minimum number of bars (min_bars_between_signals) before allowing another signal in the same direction. This aims to reduce overtrading.
4. Entry and Exit Logic:
Entry: A strategy.entry() order is placed when all trigger, confirmation, and filter conditions are met.
Exit: This strategy primarily uses reversing signals for exits. For example, if a long position is open, a confirmed short signal will close the long position and open a new short position. There are no explicit take profit or stop loss orders programmed into this version of the script.
Key User-Adjustable Parameters:
Stochastic RSI Parameters: RSI Length, Stochastic RSI Length, %K Smoothing, %D Smoothing.
Signal Trigger & Confirmation:
5-minute %K trigger levels for long and short.
15-minute %K confirmation thresholds for long and short.
Wait window (in 5-minute bars) for 15-minute confirmation.
Filters:
Enable/disable and configure the Signal Cooldown filter (minimum bars between signals).
Enable/disable and configure the ATR Volatility filter (ATR period, minimum ATR value in ticks).
Strategy Parameters:
Leverage Multiplier (Note: This primarily affects theoretical position sizing for backtesting calculations in TradingView and does not simulate actual leveraged trading risks).
Recommendations for Users:
Thorough Backtesting: Test this strategy extensively on historical data for the instruments and timeframes you intend to trade.
Parameter Optimization: Experiment with different parameter settings to find what works best for your trading style and chosen markets. The default values are starting points and may not be optimal for all conditions.
Understand the Logic: Ensure you understand how each component (Stochastic RSI on different timeframes, ATR filter, cooldown) interacts to generate signals.
Risk Management: Since this version does not include explicit stop-loss orders, ensure you have a clear risk management plan in place if trading this strategy live. You might consider manually adding stop-loss orders through your broker or using TradingView's separate strategy order settings for stop-loss if applicable.

NUPL Z-ScoreThis indicator is derived from Market Value and Realized Value, which can be defined as:
Market Value: The current price of Bitcoin multiplied by the number of coins in circulation. This is like market cap in traditional markets i.e. share price multiplied by number of shares.
Realized Value: Rather than taking the current price of Bitcoin, Realized Value takes the price of each Bitcoin when it was last moved i.e. the last time it was sent from one wallet to another wallet. It then adds up all those individual prices and takes an average of them. It then multiplies that average price by the total number of coins in circulation.
By subtracting Realized Value from Market Value we calculate Unrealized Profit/Loss.
Unrealized Profit/Loss estimates the total paper profits/losses in Bitcoin held by investors. This is interesting to know but of greater value is identifying how this changes relatively over time.
To do this we can divide Unrealized Profit/Loss by Market Cap. This creates Net Unrealized Profit/Loss, sometimes referred to as NUPL, which is very useful to track investor sentiment over time for Bitcoin.
Relative Unrealised Profit/Loss is another name used for this analysis.

Scalp Target
Automatically set at ½ × median ATR, snapped to the nearest tick.
Optional rounding to whole points for simplicity.
Stop Calculation
ATR Multiplier: Scales current ATR by a user input (default 1.5) to produce your stop distance in points (and ticks when appropriate).
Distortion Handling: Switches between point-only and point + tick displays based on contract specifications.
Risk & Sizing
Risk % of account per trade (default 2 %).
Calculates dollar risk per contract and optimal contract count.
Displays all metrics (scalp, stop, risk/contract, max contracts, max risk, account size) in a customizable on-chart table.
ATR-Based Stop Placement Guidelines
Trade Context ATR Multiplier Notes
Tight Range Entry 1.0 × ATR High-conviction, precise entries. Expect more shake-outs.
Standard Trend Entry 1.5 × ATR Balanced for H2/L2, MTR, DT/DB entries.
Breakouts/Microchannels 2.0 × ATR Wide stops through chop—Brooks-style breathing room.
How to Use
Select ATR Settings
Pick an ATR length (e.g. 14) and smoothing (RMA for stability).
Adjust the median length if you want a faster/slower scalp line.
Align Multiplier with Your Setup
For tight-range entries, set ATR Multiplier ≈ 1.0.
For standard trend trades, leave at 1.5.
For breakout/pullback setups, increase to 2.0 or more.
Customize Risk Parameters
Enter your account size and desired risk % per trade (e.g. 2 %).
The table auto-calculates how many contracts you can take.
Read the On-Chart Table
Scalp shows your intraday target.
Stop gives Brooks-style stop distance in points (and ticks).
Risk/Contract is the dollar risk per contract.
Max Contracts tells you maximum position size.
Max Risk confirms total dollar exposure.
Visual Confirmation
Place your entry, then eyeball the scalp and stop levels against chart structure (e.g. swing highs/lows).
Adjust the ATR multiplier if market context shifts (e.g. volatility spikes).
By blending this sizing panel with contextual ATR multipliers, you’ll consistently give your trades the right amount of “breathing room” while keeping risk in check.
MTF Candle Direction Forecast + Breakdown🧭 MTF Candle Direction Forecast + Breakdown 🔥📈🔼
This script is a multi-timeframe (MTF) price action dashboard that helps traders assess real-time directional bias across five customizable timeframes — with a focus on candle behavior, trend alignment, and confidence strength.
📌 What It Does
For each timeframe, this dashboard summarizes:
Current direction → Bullish, Bearish, or Neutral
Confidence score (0–100) → How strongly price is likely to continue in that direction
Candle strength → 🔥 icon appears if the current candle has a large body relative to its range
Trend alignment:
📈 = EMA9 is above EMA20
🔼 = Price is above VWAP
Color-coded background to visually reinforce directional state
Each row gives you a visual “at-a-glance” readout of what price is doing right now — not in the past.
💡 Why It’s Useful
✅ Direction forecasting based on price action
Instead of lagging indicators, this script prioritizes:
Candle body-to-range ratio (momentum)
Real-time VWAP/EMA structure
Immediate price positioning
✅ Confidence is quantified
The score (0–100) helps you judge how reliable each directional signal is:
90+ → Strong conviction
50–70 → Mixed but potentially valid
<40 → Weak move or early signal
✅ Timeframe confluence at a glance
See whether multiple timeframes are aligning directionally — helpful for scalping, day trading, or waiting for multi-timeframe breakout setups.
✅ Visual & intuitive
Icons, colors, and layout make it easy to scan your dashboard instead of deciphering charts or code.

SOXL Trend Surge v3.0.2 – Profit-Only RunnerSOXL Trend Surge v3.0.2 – Profit-Only Runner
This is a trend-following strategy built for leveraged ETFs like SOXL, designed to ride high-momentum waves with minimal interference. Unlike most short-term scalping scripts, this model allows trades to develop over multiple days to even several months, capitalizing on the full power of extended directional moves — all without using a stop-loss.
🔍 How It Works
Entry Logic:
Price is above the 200 EMA (long-term trend confirmation)
Supertrend is bullish (momentum confirmation)
ATR is rising (volatility expansion)
Volume is above its 20-bar average (liquidity filter)
Price is outside a small buffer zone from the 200 EMA (to avoid whipsaws)
Trades are restricted to market hours only (9 AM to 2 PM EST)
Cooldown of 15 bars after each exit to prevent overtrading
Exit Strategy:
Takes partial profit at +2× ATR if held for at least 2 bars
Rides the remaining position with a trailing stop at 1.5× ATR
No hard stop-loss — giving space for volatile pullbacks
⚙️ Strategy Settings
Initial Capital: $500
Risk per Trade: 100% of equity (fully allocated per entry)
Commission: 0.1%
Slippage: 1 tick
Recalculate after order is filled
Fill orders on bar close
Timeframe Optimized For: 45-minute chart
These parameters simulate an aggressive, high-volatility trading model meant for forward-testing compounding potential under realistic trading costs.
✅ What Makes This Unique
No stop-loss = fewer premature exits
Partial profit-taking helps lock in early wins
Trailing logic gives room to ride large multi-week moves
Uses strict filters (volume, ATR, EMA bias) to enter only during high-probability windows
Ideal for leveraged ETF swing or position traders looking to hold longer than the typical intraday or 2–3 day strategies
⚠️ Important Note
This is a high-risk, high-reward strategy meant for educational and testing purposes. Without a stop-loss, trades can experience deep drawdowns that may take weeks or even months to recover. Always test thoroughly and adjust position sizing to suit your risk tolerance. Past results do not guarantee future returns. Backtest range: May 8, 2020 – May 23, 2025
Decimal EMAImagine you want a moving average line, but you want its "length" or "period" to be super precise, like 2.7 days instead of just 2 days or 3 days.
This script lets you do that. Here's the simple idea:
You Pick a Decimal Number: In the settings, you can type in a period with a decimal, say, 2.7.
The Script Does a Smart Blend:
It first calculates two regular EMAs: one for the whole number below your choice (EMA for 2 days) and one for the whole number above (EMA for 3 days).
Then, it cleverly mixes these two EMA lines. Since 2.7 is closer to 3 than to 2, it takes more from the "3-day EMA" and a bit less from the "2-day EMA." (Specifically, it takes 70% from the 3-day EMA and 30% from the 2-day EMA).
You Get a Decimal EMA Line: The result is a new EMA line that acts as if its period was exactly 2.7. This line is drawn on your chart.
Why do this?
It allows for very fine-tuned adjustments to how responsive your moving average is, giving a smoother change if you're testing slightly different period lengths.
In Short:
This script calculates an EMA for a period like "2.7" by intelligently blending the results of an EMA for "2" and an EMA for "3".
Order Blocks📈 Order Blocks Only (With Mitigation Alerts)
This indicator identifies bullish and bearish order blocks on your chart and alerts you when they are formed or mitigated . Order blocks are key institutional price levels where strong buying or selling has previously occurred, often leading to significant future price reactions.
🔍 How It Works:
-Bullish Order Block: Formed when price closes above the high of a recent bearish candle. This suggests buyers have taken control.
-Bearish Order Block: Formed when price closes below the low of a recent bullish candle. This signals seller dominance.
-Once an order block is formed, a box is drawn on the chart to highlight the zone.
-These boxes last for a user-defined number of bars (default is 20) and can be automatically removed when price mitigates (retests and closes beyond) the zone.
🛠 User Settings:
-Show Bullish Order Blocks – Toggle green zones on/off.
-Show Bearish Order Blocks – Toggle red zones on/off.
-Order Block Duration – How many bars the boxes should remain on the chart.
-Delete Mitigated Boxes – If enabled, mitigated zones are automatically removed.
-Custom Colors – Personalize the fill and border colors of bullish and bearish blocks.
🔔 Alerts:
This tool supports four built-in alert types:
-Bullish Order Block Formed
-Bearish Order Block Formed
-Bullish Order Block Mitigated
-Bearish Order Block Mitigated
Set these alerts to stay on top of key price reactions.
✅ How to Use It:
1. Apply the indicator to any chart and timeframe.
2. Watch for new order blocks to form after strong price breaks.
3. Use these zones as potential entry points, stop placement areas, or take profit zones.
4. Enable alerts to catch key institutional levels as they form or are retested.
Zero Lag MTF Moving Average by CoffeeshopCryptoBased on Moving Average Types supplied by @TradingView www.tradingview.com
Ideas and code enhanced to show higher timeframe by @CoffeeShopCrypto
It’s time to take the guesswork out of moving averages and multiple timeframes when day trading. Moving averages are a cornerstone of many trading strategies, often viewed as dynamic support and resistance levels. Traders rely on these levels to anticipate price reactions, whether it’s a bounce in a trending market or a reversal in a ranging one. Additionally, the direction and alignment of multi timeframe moving averages—whether they’re moving in the same direction or diverging—provide critical clues about market momentum and potential reversals. However, the traditional higher timeframe moving average indicators force traders to wait for higher timeframe candles to close, creating lag and missed opportunities.
The Old Way
For example: If you are on a 5 minute chart and you want to observe the location and direction of a 30 minute chart Moving Average, you'll need to wait for a total of 6 candles to close, and again every 6 candles after that. This only creates more lag.
The New Way
Now there is no waiting for high timeframe session candles to close. No matter what timeframe Moving Average you want to know about, this indicator will show you its location on your current chart at any time in real time.
For those who prefer Bollinger Bands, this indicator adds a whole new dimension to your strategy. Traders often wait for price action to break outside the lower time frame Bollinger bands before considering a trade, while still seeking key support or resistance levels beyond them. But if you don't know the position of your higher time frame Bollinger, you could be trading into a trap. With Zero Lag Multi Timeframe Moving Average, you can view both your current and higher timeframe Bollinger Bands simultaneously with zero waiting. This lets you instantly see when price action is traveling between the bands of either timeframe or breaking through both—indicating a strong trend in that direction. Additionally, when both sets of Bollinger Bands overlap at the same price levels, it highlights areas of strong consolidation and ranging conditions, giving you a clear picture of market dynamics. This is a key element in price action that tells you there is currently no direction to the market and both the current and higher time frames are flat.
Enter Zero Lag Multi Timeframe Moving Average—the ultimate tool for real-time higher timeframe moving averages and Bollinger Bands. This innovative indicator eliminates the delay, delivering instant, precise values for higher timeframe averages and bands, even on open candles. Seamlessly combining current and higher timeframe data, it allows traders to identify key moments where moving averages or Bollinger Bands align or diverge, signaling market conditions. Whether you’re gauging the strength of a trend, pinpointing potential reversals, or identifying consolidation zones, Zero Lag Multi Timeframe Moving Average gives you the clarity needed to make better trading decisions according to market conditions.
Why is this "Mashup" of moving averages different and important?
Honestly its really about the calculation thats imported through the "import library" function.
Heres what it does:
The ZLMTF-MA is designed to help traders easily see where higher timeframe moving averages and Bollinger Bands are—without needing to switch chart timeframes or wait for those larger candles to close. It works by adjusting common moving average types like SMA, EMA, and VWMA to show what they would look like if they were based on a higher timeframe, right on your current chart. This helps users stay focused on their main timeframe while still having a clear view of the bigger picture, making it easier to spot trend direction, key support and resistance levels, and overall market structure. The goal is to keep things simple, fast, and more visually informative for everyday traders.
Bollinger Bands
When working with Bollinger Bands, a common strategy is to take the trades once price action has escaped through the top or bottom of your current Bollinger Band.
A false breakout occurs when both Bollinger Bands are not moving in the same direction as eachother or when they are overlapping.
Moving Averages as Support and Resistance:
Traders who use Moving Averages as support or resistance, looking for rejections or failures of these areas can now see multiple timeframe price action instantly and simultaneously.
Trading Setup Examples:
Price Action Scenario 1:
Higher Timeframe Ranging-
When price action breaks through a current moving average headed toward a higher timeframe moving average, trades are taken with caution if the moving averages are converging.
Price Action Scenario 2:
Strong Trending Market -
If the moving averages are in the same direction, and your price action is now leading the low timeframe moving average, you have re-entered a strong trend.
Price Action Scenario 3:
High Timeframe Rejections -
If you have a rejection of a higher timeframe moving average, and your both averages are still diverging, this is the end of a pullback as you re-enter a strong trend in the original direction
Price Action Scenario 4:
Trend Reversals -
If you close beyond both the low and high timeframe moving averages, you can consider that price action is strong enough to change direction here and you should prepare for trade setups in the opposite direction of the previous.
HTF MA Label Information:
Even if your high timeframe moving average is turned off, you can still see this label.
It gives you a quick reminder of what high timeframe settings you have used to see MA values.
Camarilla Pivot Plays█ OVERVIEW
This indicator implements the Camarilla Pivot Points levels and a system for suggesting particular plays. It only calculates and shows the 3rd, 4th, and 6th levels, as these are the only ones used by the system. In total, there are 12 possible plays, grouped into two groups of six. The algorithm constantly evaluates conditions for entering and exiting the plays and indicates them in real time, also triggering user-configurable alerts.
█ CREDITS
The Camarilla pivot plays are defined in a strategy developed by Thor Young, and the whole system is explained in his book "A Complete Day Trading System" . The indicator is published with his permission, and he is a user of it. The book is not necessary in order to understand and use the indicator; this description contains sufficient information to use it effectively.
█ FEATURES
Automatically draws plays, suggesting an entry, stop-loss, and maximum target
User can set alerts on chosen ticker to call these plays, even when not currently viewing them
Highly configurable via many options
Works for US/European stocks and US futures (at least)
Works correctly on both RTH and ETH charts
Automatically switches between RTH and ETH data
Optionally also shows the "other" set of pivots (RTH vs ETH data)
Configurable behaviour in the pre-market, not active in the post-market
Configurable sensitivity of the play detection algorithm
Can also show weekly and monthly Camarilla pivots
Well-documented options tooltips
Sensible defaults which are suitable for immediate use
Well-documented and high-quality open-source code for those who are interested
█ HOW TO USE
The defaults work well; at a minimum, just add the indicator and watch the plays being called. To avoid having to watch securities, by selecting the three dots next to the indicator name, you can set an alert on the indicator and choose to be alerted on play entry or exit events—or both. The following diagram shows several plays activated in the past (with the "Show past plays" option selected).
By default, the indicator draws plays 5 days back; this can be changed up to 20 days. The labels can be shifted left/right using the "label offset" option to avoid overlapping with other labels in this indicator or those of another indicator.
An information box at the top-right of the chart shows:
The data currently in use for the main pivots. This can switch in the pre-market if the H/L range exceeds the previous day's H/L, and if it does, you will see that switch at the time that it happens
Whether the current day's pivots are in a higher or lower range compared to the previous day's. This is based on the RTH close, so large moves in the post-market won't be reflected (there is an advanced option to change this)
The width of the value relationship in the current day compared to the previous day
The currently active play. If multiple plays are active in parallel, only the last activated one is shown
The resistance pivots are all drawn in the same colour (red by default), as are the support pivots (green by default). You can change the resistance and support colours, but it is not possible to have different colours for different levels of the same kind. Plays will always use the correct colour, drawing over the pivots. For example, R4 is red by default, but if a play treats R4 as a support, then the play will draw a green line (by default) over the red R4 line, thereby hiding it while the play is active.
There are a few advanced parameters; leave these as default unless you really know what they do. Please note the script is complicated—it does a lot. You might need to wait a few seconds while it (re)calculates on new tickers or when changing options. Give it time when first loading or changing options!
█ CONCEPTS
The indicator is focused around daily Camarilla pivots and implements 12 possible plays: 6 when in a higher range, 6 when in a lower range. The plays are labelled by two letters—the first indicates the range, the second indicates the play—as shown in this diagram:
The pivots can be calculated using only RTH (Regular Trading Hours) data, or ETH (Extended Trading Hours) data, which includes the pre-market and post-market. The indicator implements logic to automatically choose the correct data, based on the rules defined by the strategy. This is user-overridable. With the default options, ETH will be used when the H/L range in the previous day's post-market or current day's pre-market exceeds that of the previous day's regular market. In auto mode, the chosen pivots are considered the main pivots for that day and are the ones used for play evaluation. The "other" pivots can also be shown—"other" here meaning using ETH data when the main pivots use RTH data, and vice versa.
When displaying plays in the pre-market, since the RTH open is not yet known (and that value is needed to evaluate play pre-conditions), the pre-market open is used as a proxy for the RTH open. After the regular market opens, the correct RTH open is used to evaluate play conditions.
█ NOTE FOR FUTURES
Futures always use full ETH data in auto mode. Users may, however, wish to use the option "Always use RTH close," which uses the 3 p.m. Central Time (CME/Chicago) as a basis for the close in the pivot calculations (instead of the 4 p.m. actual close).
Futures don't officially have a pre-market or post-market like equities. Let's take ES on CME as an example (CME is in Chicago, so all times are Central Time, i.e., 1 hour behind Eastern Time). It trades from 17:00 Sunday to 16:00 Friday, with a daily pause between 16:00 and 17:00. However, most of the trading activity is done between 08:30 and 15:00 (Central), which you can tell from the volume spikes at those times, and this coincides with NYSE/NASDAQ regular hours (09:30–16:00 Eastern). So we define a pseudo-pre-market from 17:00 the previous day to 08:30 on the current day, then a pseudo-regular market from 08:30 to 15:00, then a pseudo-post-market from 15:00 to 16:00.
The indicator then works exactly the same as with equities—all the options behave the same, just with different session times defined for the pre-, regular, and post-market, with "RTH" meaning just the regular market and "ETH" meaning all three. The only difference from equities is that the auto calculation mode always uses ETH instead of switching based on ETH range compared to RTH range. This is so users who just leave all the defaults are not confused by auto-switching of the calculation mode; normally you'll want the pivots based on all the (ETH) data. However, both "Force RTH" and "Use RTH close with ETH data" work the same as with equities—so if, in the calculations, you really want to only use RTH data, or use all ETH H/L data but use the RTH close (at 15:00), you can.
█ LIMITATIONS
The pivots are very close to those shown in DAS Trader Pro. They are not to-the-cent exact, but within a few cents. The reasons are:
TradingView uses real-time data from CBOE One, so doesn't have access to full exchange data (unless you pay for it in TradingView), and
the close/high/low are taken from the intraday timeframe you are currently viewing, not daily data—which are very close, but often not exactly the same. For example, the high on the daily timeframe may differ slightly from the daily high you'll see on an intraday timeframe.
I have occasionally seen larger than a few cents differences in the pivots between these and DAS Trader Pro—this is always due to differences in data, for example a big spike in the data in TradingView but not in DAS Trader Pro, or vice versa. The more traded the stock is, the less the difference tends to be. Highly traded stocks are usually within a few cents. Less traded stocks may be more (for example, 30¢ difference in R4 is the highest I've seen). If it bothers you, official NYSE/NASDAQ data in TradingView is quite inexpensive (but even that doesn't make the 8am candle identical).
The 6th Camarilla level does not have a standard definition and may not match the level shown on other platforms. It does match the definition used by DAS Trader Pro.
The indicator is an intraday indicator (despite also being able to show weekly and monthly pivots on an intraday chart). It deactivates on a daily timeframe and higher. It is untested on sub-minute timeframes; you may encounter runtime errors on these due to various historical data referencing issues. Also, the play detection algorithm would likely be unpredictable on sub-minute timeframes. Therefore, sub-minute timeframes are formally unsupported.
The indicator was developed and tested for US/European stocks and US futures. It may or may not work as intended for stocks and futures in different locations. It does not work for other security types (e.g., crypto), where I have no evidence that the strategy has any relevance.
ETI IndicatorThe Ensemble Technical Indicator (ETI) is a script that combines multiple established indicators into one single powerful indicator. Specifically, it takes a number of technical indicators and then converts them into +1 to represent a bullish trend, or a -1 to represent a bearish trend. It then adds these values together and takes the running sum over the past 20 days.
The ETI is composed of the following indicators and converted to +1 or -1 using the following criteria:
Simple Moving Average (10 days) : When the price is above the 10-day simple moving averaging, +1, when below -1
Weighted Moving Average (10 days) : Similar to the SMA 10, when the the price is above the 10-day weighted moving average, +1, when below -1
Stochastic K% : If the current Stochastic K% is greater than the previous value, then +1, else -1.
Stochastic D% : Similar to the Stochastic K%, when the current Stochastic D% is greater than the previous value, +1, else -1.
MACD Difference : First subtract the MACD signal (i.e. the moving average) from the MACD value and if the current value is higher than the previous value, then +1, else -1.
William's R% : If the current William's R% is greater than the previous one, then +1, else -1.
William's Accumulation/Distribution : If the current William's AD value is greater than the previous value, then +1, else -1.
Commodity Channel Index : If the Commodity Channel Index is greater than 200 (overbought), then -1, if it is less than -200 (oversold) then +1. When it is between those values, if the current value is greater than the previous value then +1, else -1.
Relative Strength Index : If the Relative Strength Index is over 70 (overbought) then -1 and if under 30 (oversold) then +1. If the Relative Strength Indicator is between those values then if the current value is higher than the previous value +1, else -1.
Momentum (9 days) : If the momentum value is greater than 0, then +1, else -1.
Again, once these values have been calculated and converted, they are added up to produce a single value. This single value is then summed across the previous 20 candles to produce a running sum.
By coalescing multiple technical indicators into a single value across time, traders can better understand how multiple inter-related indicators are behaving at once; high scores indicate that numerous indicators are showing bullish signals indicating a potential or ongoing uptrend (and vice-versa with low scores).
Additional Features
Numerous smoothing transformations have also been added (e.g. gaussian smoothing) to remove some of the noise might exist.
Suggested Use
It is recommended that stocks are shorted when the cross below 0, and are bought when the ETI crosses above -40. Arrows can be shown on the indicator to show these points. However feel free to use levels that work best for you.
Traditionally, I have treated values above +50 as overbought and below -40 as undersold (with -80 indicating extremely oversold); however these levels could also indicate either upwards and downwards momentum so taking a position based on where the ETI is (rather than crossing levels) should be done with caution.
DDDDD: ATR & ADR Table + Suggested Time-based Exit📈 DDDDD: ATR & ADR Table + Suggested Time-based Exit
This indicator provides a simple yet powerful table displaying key volatility metrics for any timeframe you apply it to. It is designed for traders who want to assess the volatility of an asset, estimate the average time required for a potential move, and define a time-based exit strategy.
🔍 Features:
Displays ATR (Average True Range) for the selected length
Shows Average Range (High-Low) and Maximum Range over a configurable number of bars
Calculates Avg Bars/Move → average number of bars needed to achieve the maximum range
Calculates Recommended Exit Bars → suggested maximum holding period (in bars) before considering an exit if price hasn’t moved as expected
All values dynamically adjust based on the chart’s current timeframe
Outputs values directly in a table overlay on your main chart for quick reference
📝 How to interpret the table:
Field Meaning
ATR (14) Average True Range over the last 14 bars (volatility indicator)
Avg Range (20) Average High-Low range over the last 20 bars
Max Range Maximum High-Low range observed in the last 20 bars
Avg Bars/Move Average number of bars it takes to achieve a Max Range move
Rec. Exit Bars Suggested max holding period (bars) → consider exit if move hasn’t occurred
✅ How to use:
Apply this indicator to any chart (works on minutes, hourly, daily, weekly…)
It will automatically calculate based on the chart’s current timeframe
Use ATR & Avg Range to gauge volatility
Use Avg Bars/Move to estimate how long the market usually takes to achieve a big move
Use Rec. Exit Bars as a soft stop — if price hasn’t moved by this time, consider exiting due to declining probability of a breakout
⚠️ Notes:
All values are relative to your current chart timeframe. For example:
→ On a daily chart, ATR represents daily volatility
→ On a 1H chart, ATR represents hourly volatility
“Bars” refers to the bars of the current timeframe. Always interpret time accordingly.
Perfect for traders who want to:
Time their trades based on average volatility
Avoid overholding losing positions
Set time-based exit rules to complement price-based stoplosses

📈 What Is an EMA?
The EMA is a type of moving average that adjusts more quickly to recent price changes than a Simple Moving Average (SMA). It does this by giving exponentially more weight to the most recent candles.
⚙️ How Does It Function?
Smoothing Price Data:
It takes the average of closing prices over a chosen period (like 20 or 50 candles), but gives more influence to the latest prices.
Reacts Quickly to Price Shifts:
Since recent data is weighted more heavily, the EMA adjusts faster to sudden price changes — helping you spot trend reversals or momentum shifts earlier.
Dynamic Support & Resistance:
Traders often use EMAs as moving support/resistance levels. Price often "respects" EMAs in trending markets — bouncing off them during pullbacks.
Trend Confirmation:
- If price is above the EMA, the market is likely in an uptrend.
- If price is below the EMA, the market is likely in a downtrend.
- Multiple EMAs (like 12/21 or 50/200) crossing each other are used for entry/exit signals.
💡 Example:
If you use a 21 EMA on a chart, it shows you the average price of the last 21 candles, but the most recent ones weigh heavier. This makes the EMA more responsive than an SMA, and better for short-term or active trading.
📊 Why EMAs Matter — and How Multi-Timeframe EMAs Give You the Edge
Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) are essential tools for identifying trend direction, momentum shifts, and dynamic support/resistance. Because they weight recent price data more heavily, EMAs adapt quickly to changing market conditions, giving traders early insight into reversals or continuations.
Where this script shines is in its multi-timeframe (MTF) capability. For example, plotting a daily EMA on a 4H chart gives you high-level directional guidance while still allowing precision entries. This enables confluence between LTF (low timeframe) signals and HTF (high timeframe) momentum — a crucial edge used by institutional-level traders.
You can configure the tool to run classic combos like the 12/21 crossover on your current chart, while layering in a 50 or 200 EMA from a higher timeframe for macro confirmation. The 6th EMA, colored light blue by default, is perfect for adding one final level of structure insight — often used as a long-term anchor or trend bias marker.
Whether you're riding the wave or catching the reversal, these EMAs serve as your adaptable compass in every environment.
🎯 Purpose
This indicator was built to give traders a clear, responsive, and multi-timeframe edge using dynamic Exponential Moving Averages. Whether you're trend-following, identifying momentum shifts, or building a confluence system — these 6 EMAs are here to align with your strategy and style.
💡 Pro Tip
Instead of cluttering your chart with multiple EMA indicators, this script consolidates all into one sleek tool. You can toggle off bands you don't currently need, like running only the 12/21 EMAs on your active chart timeframe, while adding the 12/21 EMAs from a higher timeframe to guide trade decisions.
With this setup, you're not just reacting — you're orchestrating your trades with intention.
