NNFX Baseline ToolNNFX All-in-One Baseline display / test tool.
This is usefull (hopefully) for the NNFX way of trading only. It's not intended to be used as a standalone tool.
Basically, this script displays and tests many types of Moving Averages as baselines.
It displays baseline signals, based on the NNFX ATR-related rule for baseline entries.
It can be used as a backtest tool, or plugged into the whole nnfx algo.
If signal display option is enabled, signals are displayed on chart : green for long, red for short, orange for crossovers beyond the ATR channel :
Many baselines available : SMA , EMA , WMA , VWMA , ALMA , AMA, SMMA , DEMA , FRAMA , HULL, KAMA , KIJUN, JURIK, LAGUERRE, MCGINLEY , TMA1, TMA2, VIDYA , MODULAR FILTER, VAMA , ZLEMA , T3, LSMA, etc.
Additional options :
- multiplying the ATR channel (and subsequent rule) by a factor (default = 1)
- plot the ATR channel (def = yes)
- fill it (def = yes)
- display signals (def = yes)
- option for add color to the baseline, for long/short territory (2 different options : baseline is colored, background is colored)
- darkmode / lightmode color option. (def = dark)
We also display panels, with general information and some test results. Tests are done within the test period.
I tried to test all the different MAs included in the script but some bugs might still be present, so use it at ur own risk.
If you'd like a new MA option added, please let me know in comments.
I included a "bad" signal detection, it can help for tweaking the settings. Signals are defined as "bad" when they are immediately followed by another signal.
When there is 2 or more bad signals next to another, you spotted a chopiness zone (a chopiness zone is defined as a zone where BL get eaten alive).
Example :
to do :
- plug it with the c1/c2 backtest tool (it's the whole point)
- add alerts,
- add more ma types
- stop to use the operator, it's not convenient at all
- add wr% calculation as a standalone feature (with TP / SL)
- add a way to measure chopiness in the test (dont know how yet)
- detect & display chopiness zones
I asked other users when I used their ideas (for some particular types of MAs). They all agreed.

Best strategy for TradingView (fake)Hello everyone! I want to show you this strategy so you don't fall for the tricks of scammers. On TradingView, you can write an algorithm (probably more than one) that will show any profit you want: from 1% to 100,000% in one year (maybe more)! This can be done, for example, using the built-in linebreak () function and several conditions for opening long and short.
I am sure that sometimes scammers show up on TradingView showing their incredible strategies. Will a smart person sell a profitable quick strategy? When a lot of people start using the quick strategy, it stops working. Therefore, no smart person would sell you a quick strategy. It is acceptable to sell slow strategies: several transactions per month - this does not greatly affect the market.
So, don't fall for the tricks of scammers, write quick strategies yourself.
About this strategy, I can say that the linebreak () function does not work correctly in it. Accordingly, the lines are not drawn correctly on the chart. They are drawn in such a way as to show the maximum profit. I watched this algorithm on a 1m timeframe - no lines are drawn in real time. This is a fake!
Line breakI decided to help TradingView programmers and wrote code that converts a standard candles / bars to a line break chart. The built-in linebreak() and security() functions for constructing a Linear Break chart are bad, the chart is not built correctly, and does not correspond to the Line Breakout chart built into TradingView. I’m talking about simulating the Linear Break lines using the plotcandle() annotation, because these are the same candles without shadows. When you try to use the market simulator, when the gaps are turned on in the security() function, nothing is added to the chart, and when turned off, a completely different line break chart is drawn. Do not try to write strategies based on the built-in linebreak() function! The developers write in the manual: "Please note that you cannot plot Line Break boxes from Pine script exactly as they look. You can only get a series of numbers similar to OHLC values for Line Break charts and use them in your algorithms." However, it is possible to build a “Linear Breakthrough” chart exactly like the “Linear Breakthrough" chart built into TradingView. Personally, I had enough Pine Script functionality.
For a complete understanding of how such a graph is built, you can refer to Steve Nison's book “BEYOND JAPANESE CANDLES” and see the instructions for creating a “Three-Line Breakthrough” chart (the number of lines for a breakthrough is three):
Rule 1: if today's price is above the base price (closing the first candle), draw a white line from the base price to the new maximum price (before closing).
or Rule 2: if today's price is below the base price, draw a black line from the base price to the new low of prices (before closing).
Rule 3: if today's price is no different from the base, do not draw any line.
Rule 4: if today's price rises above the maximum of the first line, shift to the column to the right and draw a new white line from the previous maximum to the new maximum of prices.
Rule 5: if the price is below the low of the first line, move one column to the right and draw a new black line down from the previous low to the new low of prices.
Rule 6: if the price is kept in the range of the first line, nothing is applied to the chart.
Rule 7: if the market reaches a new maximum, surpassing the maximum of previous lines, move to the column to the right and draw a new white line up to a new maximum.
Rule 8: if today's price is below the low of previous lines (i.e. there is a new low), move to the right column and draw a new black line down to a new low.
Rule 9: if the price is in the range of the first two lines, nothing is applied to the chart.
Rule 10: if there is a series of three white lines, a new white line is drawn when a new maximum is reached (even if it is only one tick higher than the old one). Under the same conditions, for drawing a black reversal line, the price should fall below the minimum of the series of the last three white lines. Such a black line is called a black reversal line. It runs from the base of the highest white line to a new low of price.
Rule 11: if there is a series of three black lines, a new black line is drawn when a new minimum is reached. Under the same conditions, for drawing a white line, called a white reversal line, the price must exceed the maximum of the previous three black lines. This line is drawn from the top of the lowest black line to a new high of the price.
So, the script was not small, but the idea is extremely simple: if you need to break n lines to build a line, then among these n lines (or less, if this is the beginning of the chart), the maximum or minimum of closures and openings will be searched. If the current candles closed above or below these highs or lows, then a new line is added to the chart on the current candles (trend or breakout). According to my observations, this script draws a chart that is completely identical to the Line Breakout chart built into TradingView, but of course with gaps, as there is time in the candles / bar chart. I stuffed all the logic into a wrapper in the form of the get_linebreak() function, which returns a tuple of OHLC values. And these series with the help of the plotcandle() annotation can be converted to the "Linear Breakthrough" chart. I also want to note that with a large number of candles on the chart, outrages about the buffer size uncertainty are heard from the TradingView black box. Because of this, in the annotation study() set the value to the max_bars_back parameter.
In general, use it (for example, to write strategies)!
REVEREVE is abbreviation from Range Extension Volume Expansion. This indicator shows these against a background of momentum. The histogram and columns for the range and volume rises ara calculated with the same algorithm as I use in the Volume Range Events indicator, which I published before. Because this algorithm uses the same special function to assess 'normal' levels for volume and range and uses the same calculation for depicting the rises on a scale of zero through 100, it becomes possible to compare volume and range rises in the same chart panel and come to meaningful conclusions. Different from VolumeRangeEvents is that I don't attempt to show direction of the bars and columns by actually pointing up or down. However I did color the bars for range events according to direction if Close jumps more than 20 percent of ATR up or down either blue or red. If the wider range leads to nothing, i.e. a smaller jump than 20 percent, the color is black. You can teak this in the inputs. The volume colums ar colored according to two criteria, resulting in four colors (orange, blue, maroon, green). The first criterium is whether the expansion is climactic (orange, blue) or moderate (maroon, green). I assume that climactic (i.e. more than twice as much) volume marks the beginning or end of a trend. The second criterium looks at the range event that goes together with the volume event. If lots of volume lead to little change in range (blue, green), I assume that this volume originates from institutional traders who are accumulating or distributing. If wild price jumps occur with comparatively little volume (orange, maroon, or even no volume event) I assume that opportunistic are active, some times attributing to more volume.
For the background I use the same colors calculated with the same algorithm as in the Hull Agreement Indicator, which I published before. This way I try to predict trend changes by observation of REVE.
T3 ICL MACD STRATEGY
Backtested manually and received approx 60% winrate. Tradingview strategy tester is skewed because this program does not specify when to sell at profit target or at a stop loss.
Uses 1 min for entry and a longer time frame for confirmation (5,10,15, etc..) (Not sure what the yellow arrows are in the picture but they can be ignored)
Ideal Long Entry - The algo uses T3 moving average (T3) and the Ichimoku Conversion Line (ICL) to determine when to enter a long or short position. In this case we are going to showcase what causes the algo to alert long. It first checks to see if the the ICL is greater than T3. Once that condition is met T3 must be green in order to enter long and finally the last closing price has to be greater than the ICL. You can use the MACD to further verify a long trend as well!
Ideal Short Entry - The algo uses T3 moving average (T3) and the Ichimoku Conversion Line (ICL) to determine when to enter a long or short position. In this case we are going to showcase what causes the algo to alert short. It first checks to see if the the ICL is less than T3. Once that condition is met T3 must be red in order to enter short and finally the last closing price has to be less than the ICL. You can use the MACD to further verify a long trend as well!
[PX] Moon PhaseHello guys,
while scrolling through the public library, I was surprised that there was no Open-Source version of the Moon Phase indicator. All moon phase indicators in the public library were either protected or not exactly what I was looking for. There is a built-in "Moon Phase" indicator, but even for this one, we can't access its source code.
Therefore, I started searching for an algorithm that I could implement into PineScript.
So here we go, an Open-Source Moon Phase indicator. It comes with the option to color the background based on the recent moon. Compared to the built-in indicator, the moon is slightly shifted, because it is centered on the candle and not plotted between two candles like the built-in indicator is doing it.
Feel free to use the indicator for your analysis or build on top of it in an open-source fashion.
Happy trading,
paaax :)
Reference: This indicator is a converted and simplified version of the original javascript algorithm, which can be found here .
SMU Quantum Thermo BallsThis script is the enhanced version of Market Thermometer with one difference. This one has Quantum Thermo balls shooting out of the thermometer tube when overheated. Quantum psychology, Quantum observation, call it what you like
My scripts are designed to beat ALGO, so the behavior of indicators is not like traditional indicators. Don't try to overthink it and compare it to other established functions.
If you knew ALGo as much as I do, then you would also ditch old indicators and design your own weird scripts to match the ALGO's personality. Oh yes, each AlGo for each stock has its own programming personality. Most my scripts are tuned to beat SPX ALGO meniac
Enjoy and think outside the box, the only way to beat the ALGO
BERLIN Renegade - Baseline & RangeThis is the baseline and range candles part of a larger algorithm called the "BERLIN Renegade". It is based on the NNFX way of trading, with some modifications.
The baseline is used for price crossover signals, and consists of the LSMA. When price is below the baseline, the background turns red, and when it is above the baseline, the background turns green.
It also includes a modified version of the Range Identifier by LazyBear. This version calculates the same, but draws differently. It remove the baseline signal color if the Range Identifier signals there is a possible trading range forming.
The main way of identifying ranges is using the BERLIN Range Index. A panel version of this indicator is included in another part of the algorithm, but the bar color version is included here, to make the ranges even more visible and easier to avoid.
Low Frequency Fourier TransformThis Study uses the Real Discrete Fourier Transform algorithm to generate 3 sinusoids possibly indicative of future price.
I got information about this RDFT algorithm from "The Scientist and Engineer's Guide to Digital Signal Processing" By Steven W. Smith, Ph.D.
It has not been tested thoroughly yet, but it seems that that the RDFT isn't suited for predicting prices as the Frequency Domain Representation shows that the signal is similar to white noise, showing no significant peaks, indicative of very low periodicity of price movements.
Correlation MATRIX (Flexible version)Hey folks
A quick unrelated but interesting foreword
Hope you're all good and well and tanned
Me? I'm preparing the opening of my website where we're going to offer the Algorithm Builder Single Trend, Multiple Trends, Multi-Timeframe and plenty of others across many platforms (TradingView, FXCM, MT4, PRT). While others are at the beach and tanning (Yes I'm jealous, so what !?!), we're working our a** off to deliver an amazing looking website and great indicators and strategies for you guys.
Today I worked in including the Trade Manager Pro version and the Risk/Reward Pro version into all our Algorithm Builders. Here's a teaser
We're going to have a few indicators/strategies packages and subscriptions will open very soon.
The website should open in a few weeks and we still have loads to do ... (#no #summer #holidays #for #dave)
I see every message asking me to allow access to my Algorithm Builders but with the website opening shortly, it will be better for me to manage the trials from there - otherwise, it's duplicated and I can't follow all those requests
As you can probably all understand, it becomes very challenging to publish once a day with all that workload so I'll probably slow down (just a bit) and maybe posting once every 2/3 days until the website will be over (please forgive me for failing you). But once it will open, the daily publishing will resume again :) (here's when you're supposed to be clapping guys....)
While I'm so honored by all the likes, private messages and comments encouraging me, you have to realize that a script always takes me about 2/3 hours of work (with research, coding, debugging) but I'm doing it because I like it. Only pushing the brake a bit because of other constraints
INDICATOR OF THE DAY
I made a more flexible version of my Correlation Matrix .
You can now select the symbols you want and the matrix will update automatically !!! Let me repeat it once more because this is very cool... You can now select the symbols you want and the matrix will update automatically :)
Actually, I have nothing more to say about it... that's all :) Ah yes, I added a condition to detect negative correlation and they're being flagged with a black dot
Definition : Negative correlation or inverse correlation is a relationship between two variables whereby they move in opposite directions.
A negative correlation is a key concept in portfolio construction, as it enables the creation of diversified portfolios that can better withstand portfolio volatility and smooth out returns.
Correlation between two variables can vary widely over time. Stocks and bonds generally have a negative correlation, but in the decade to 2018, their correlation has ranged from -0.8 to 0.2. (Source : www.investopedia.com
See you maybe tomorrow or in a few days for another script/idea.
Be sure to hit the thumbs up to cheer me up as your likes will be the only sunlight I'll get for the next weeks.... because working on building a great offer for you guys.
Dave

SMA/pivot/Bollinger/MACD/RSI en pantalla gráficoMulti-indicador con los indicadores que empleo más pero sin añadir ventanas abajo.
Contiene:
Cruce de 3 medias móviles
La idea es no tenerlas en pantalla, pero están dibujadas también. Yo las dejo ocultas salvo que las quiera mirar para algo.
Lo que presento en pantalla es la media lenta con verde si el cruce de las 3 marca alcista, amarillo si no está claro y rojo si marca bajista.
Pivot
Normalmente los tengo ocultos pero los muestro cuando me interesa. Están todos aunque aparezcan 2 seguidos.
Bandas de Bollinger
No dibujo la línea central porque empleo la media como tal.
Parabollic SAR
Lo empleo para dibujar las ondas de Elliott como postula Matías Menéndez Larre en el capítulo 11 de su libro "Las ondas de Elliott". Así que, aunque se puede mostrar, lo mantengo oculto y lo que muestro es dónde cambia (SAR cambio).
MACD
No está dibujado porque necesitaría sacarlo del gráfico.
Marco en la parte superior cuándo la señal sobrepasa al MACD hacia arriba o hacia abajo con un flecha indicando el sentido de esta señal.
RSI
Similar al MACD pero en la parte inferior.
Probablemente, programe otro indicador para visualizar en una ventanita MACD, RSI y volumen todo junto. El volumen en la principal hay veces que no te permite ver bien alguna sombra y los otros 2 te quitan mucho espacio para graficar si los tienes permanentemente en 2 ventanas separadas.
DFT - Dominant Cycle Period 8-50 bars - John EhlerThis is the translation of discret cosine tranform (DCT) usage by John Ehler for finding dominant cycle period (DC).
The price is first filtered to remove aliasing noise(bellow 8 bars) and trend informations(above 50 bars), then the power is computed.
The trick here is to use a normalisation against the maximum power in order to get a good frequency resolution.
Current limitation in tradingview does not allow to display all of the periods, still the DC period is plot after beeing computed based on the center of gravity algo.
The DC period can be used to tune all of the indicators based on the cycles of the markets. For instance one can use this (DC period)/2 as an input for RSI.
Hope you find this of some interrest.
[naoligo] Simple ADXI'm publishing this indicator just for study purposes, because the result is exactly the same as DMI without the smoothing factor. It is exactly the same as ADX Wilder from MT5.
I was looking for the algorithm all over and it was a pain to find the right formula, meaning: one that would match with the built-in ones. After several study and comparison, I still didn't find the algorithm that match with the MT5's built-in simple ADX ...
Enjoy!

Zero Lag MACD Enhanced - Version 1.1ENHANCED ZERO LAG MACD
Version 1.1
Based on ZeroLag EMA - see Technical Analysis of Stocks and Commodities, April 2000
Original version by user Glaz. Thanks !
Ideas and code from @yassotreyo version.
Tweaked by Albert Callisto (AC)
New features:
Added original signal line formula
Added optional EMA on MACD
Added filling between the MACD and signal line
I looked at other versions of the zero lag and noticed that the histogram was slightly different. After looking at other zero lags on TV, I noticed that the algorithm implementation of Glanz generated a modified signal line. I decided to add the old version to be compliant with the original algorithm that you will find in other platforms like MT4, FXCM, etc.
So now you can choose if you want the original algorithm or Glanz version. It's up to you then to choose which one you prefer. I also added an extra EMA applied on the MACD. This is used in a system I am currently studying and can be of some interest to filter out false signals.

Morphic Numbers (PHI & Plastic) Pine Script adaptation from it's algebraic generation formulas by @XeL_Arjona
Fractal Deviation Bands idea by @XeL_Arjona
CHANGE LOG:
ACCUMULATION / DISTRIBUTION CLOUD: I decided to change it's name from the Buy to Sell Pressure. The code is essentially the same as older versions and they are the center core (VORTEX?) of all derived New stuff which are:
MORPHIC NUMBERS: The "Golden Ratio" expressed by the result of the constant "PHI" and the newer and same in characteristics "Plastic Number" expressed as "PN". For more information about this regard take a look at: HERE!
CUSTOM(K) EXPONENTIAL MOVING AVERAGE: Some code has cleaned from last version to include as custom function the nEMA , which use an additional input (K) to customise the way the "exponentially" is weighted from the custom array. For the purpose of this indicator, I implement a volatility algorithm using the Average True Range of last 9 periods multiplied by the morphic number used in the fractal study. (Golden Ratio as default) The result is very similar in response to classic EMA but tend to accelerate or decelerate much more responsive with wider bars presented in trending average.
FRACTAL DEVIATION BANDS: The main idea is based on the so useful Standard Deviation process to create Bands in favor of a multiplier (As John Bollinger used in it's own bands) from a custom array, in which for this case is the "Volume Pressure Moving Average" as the main Vortex for the "Fractallitly", so then apply as many "Child bands" using the older one as the new calculation array using the same morphic constant as multiplier (Like Fibonacci but with other approach rather than %ratios). Results are AWSOME! Market tend to accelerate or decelerate their Trend in favor of a Fractal approach. This bands try to catch them, so please experiment and feedback me your own observations.
EXTERNAL TICKER FOR VOLUME DATA: I Added a way to input volume data for this kind of study from external tickers. This is just a quicky-hack given that currently TradingView is not adding Volume to their Indexes so; maybe this is temporary by now. It seems that this part of the code is conflicting with intraday timeframes, so You are advised.
This CODE is versioned as BETA FOR TESTING PROPOSES. By now TradingView Admins are changing lot's of things internally, so maybe this could conflict with correct rendering of this study with special tickers or timeframes. I will try to code by itself just the core parts of this study in order to use them at discretion in other areas. ALL NEW IDEAS OR MODIFICATIONS to these indicator(s) are Welcome in favor to deploy a better and more accurate readings. I will be very glad to be notified at Twitter or TradingView accounts at: @XeL_Arjona
Frequency Momentum Oscillator [QuantAlgo]🟢 Overview
The Frequency Momentum Oscillator applies Fourier-based spectral analysis principles to price action to identify regime shifts and directional momentum. It calculates Fourier coefficients for selected harmonic frequencies on detrended price data, then measures the distribution of power across low, mid, and high frequency bands to distinguish between persistent directional trends and transient market noise. This approach provides traders with a quantitative framework for assessing whether current price action represents meaningful momentum or merely random fluctuations, enabling more informed entry and exit decisions across various asset classes and timeframes.
🟢 How It Works
The calculation process removes the dominant trend from price data by subtracting a simple moving average, isolating cyclical components for frequency analysis:
detrendedPrice = close - ta.sma(close , frequencyPeriod)
The detrended price series undergoes frequency decomposition through Fourier coefficient calculation across the first 8 harmonics. For each harmonic frequency, the algorithm computes sine and cosine components across the lookback window, then derives power as the sum of squared coefficients:
for k = 1 to 8
cosSum = 0.0
sinSum = 0.0
for n = 0 to frequencyPeriod - 1
angle = 2 * math.pi * k * n / frequencyPeriod
cosSum := cosSum + detrendedPrice * math.cos(angle)
sinSum := sinSum + detrendedPrice * math.sin(angle)
power = (cosSum * cosSum + sinSum * sinSum) / frequencyPeriod
Power measurements are aggregated into three frequency bands: low frequencies (harmonics 1-2) capturing persistent cycles, mid frequencies (harmonics 3-4), and high frequencies (harmonics 5-8) representing noise. Each band's power normalizes against total spectral power to create percentage distributions:
lowFreqNorm = totalPower > 0 ? (lowFreqPower / totalPower) * 100 : 33.33
highFreqNorm = totalPower > 0 ? (highFreqPower / totalPower) * 100 : 33.33
The normalized frequency components undergo exponential smoothing before calculating spectral balance as the difference between low and high frequency power:
smoothLow = ta.ema(lowFreqNorm, smoothingPeriod)
smoothHigh = ta.ema(highFreqNorm, smoothingPeriod)
spectralBalance = smoothLow - smoothHigh
Spectral balance combines with price momentum through directional multiplication, producing a composite signal that integrates frequency characteristics with price direction:
momentum = ta.change(close , frequencyPeriod/2)
compositeSignal = spectralBalance * math.sign(momentum)
finalSignal = ta.ema(compositeSignal, smoothingPeriod)
The final signal oscillates around zero, with positive values indicating low-frequency dominance coupled with upward momentum (trending up), and negative values indicating either high-frequency dominance (choppy market) or downward momentum (trending down).
🟢 How to Use This Indicator
→ Long/Short Signals: the indicator generates long signals when the smoothed composite signal crosses above zero (indicating low-frequency directional strength dominates) and short signals when it crosses below zero (indicating bearish momentum persistence).
→ Upper and Lower Reference Lines: the +25 and -25 reference lines serve as threshold markers for momentum strength. Readings beyond these levels indicate strong directional conviction, while oscillations between them suggest consolidation or weakening momentum. These references help traders distinguish between strong trending regimes and choppy transitional periods.
→ Preconfigured Presets: three optimized configurations are available with Default (32, 3) offering balanced responsiveness, Fast Response (24, 2) designed for scalping and intraday trading, and Smooth Trend (40, 5) calibrated for swing trading and position trading with enhanced noise filtration.
→ Built-in Alerts: the indicator includes three alert conditions for automated monitoring - Long Signal (momentum shifts bullish), Short Signal (momentum shifts bearish), and Signal Change (any directional transition). These alerts enable traders to receive real-time notifications without continuous chart monitoring.
→ Color Customization: four visual themes (Classic green/red, Aqua blue/orange, Cosmic aqua/purple, Custom) allow chart customization for different display environments and personal preferences.
Nadaraya-Watson: Rational Quadratic Kernel (Opening Gap Shift)What we did to fix it: We didn't throw out the old data (that made it too jumpy early in the day).
Instead, we "tricked" the kernel by shifting all the previous day's prices up or down by the exact gap amount (e.g., if it gapped up 50 points, add 50 to every old price point). This makes the history "line up" with the new day's starting level.
Created so with a fresh session the Nadaraya-Watson Regression Kernel is relevant from the get go - no catch up on opening gaps.
All credit to jdehorty his full description is below.
What is Nadaraya–Watson Regression?
Nadaraya–Watson Regression is a type of Kernel Regression, which is a non-parametric method for estimating the curve of best fit for a dataset. Unlike Linear Regression or Polynomial Regression, Kernel Regression does not assume any underlying distribution of the data. For estimation, it uses a kernel function, which is a weighting function that assigns a weight to each data point based on how close it is to the current point. The computed weights are then used to calculate the weighted average of the data points.
How is this different from using a Moving Average?
A Simple Moving Average is actually a special type of Kernel Regression that uses a Uniform (Retangular) Kernel function. This means that all data points in the specified lookback window are weighted equally. In contrast, the Rational Quadratic Kernel function used in this indicator assigns a higher weight to data points that are closer to the current point. This means that the indicator will react more quickly to changes in the data.
Why use the Rational Quadratic Kernel over the Gaussian Kernel?
The Gaussian Kernel is one of the most commonly used Kernel functions and is used extensively in many Machine Learning algorithms due to its general applicability across a wide variety of datasets. The Rational Quadratic Kernel can be thought of as a Gaussian Kernel on steroids; it is equivalent to adding together many Gaussian Kernels of differing length scales. This allows the user even more freedom to tune the indicator to their specific needs.
The formula for the Rational Quadratic function is:
K(x, x') = (1 + ||x - x'||^2 / (2 * alpha * h^2))^(-alpha)
where x and x' data are points, alpha is a hyperparameter that controls the smoothness (i.e. overall "wiggle") of the curve, and h is the band length of the kernel.
Does this Indicator Repaint?
No, this indicator has been intentionally designed to NOT repaint. This means that once a bar has closed, the indicator will never change the values in its plot. This is useful for backtesting and for trading strategies that require a non-repainting indicator.
Settings:
Bandwidth. This is the number of bars that the indicator will use as a lookback window.
Relative Weighting Parameter. The alpha parameter for the Rational Quadratic Kernel function. This is a hyperparameter that controls the smoothness of the curve. A lower value of alpha will result in a smoother, more stretched-out curve, while a lower value will result in a more wiggly curve with a tighter fit to the data. As this parameter approaches 0, the longer time frames will exert more influence on the estimation, and as it approaches infinity, the curve will become identical to the one produced by the Gaussian Kernel.
Color Smoothing. Toggles the mechanism for coloring the estimation plot between rate of change and cross over modes.

TraderDemircan Trend Based Fibonacci + XABCD FormationDescription
TraderDemircan Trend-Based Fibonacci + XABCD Formation is an original open-source indicator that combines trend-based Fibonacci projections with an automated XABC structure detection engine.
The script focuses on identifying swing high → swing low transitions in a downtrend, generating Fibonacci levels and projecting a potential C-target extension based on harmonic geometry.
This indicator is designed for traders who want a clearer visual structure of how retracement, continuation, and harmonic projections interact inside trending markets.
🧩 What the Script Does
1. Detects the Most Recent X–A Swing (Trend High → Trend Low)
The indicator automatically scans a user-defined lookback range to identify:
X: Most recent significant swing high
A: The lowest low after X within the lookback window
This creates the foundational XA leg used for both Fibonacci levels and harmonic projections.
2. Determines a Dynamic B-Point Retracement
The script measures the market’s current retracement relative to the XA leg:
If price retraces below 0.50, B becomes the 0.50 level
If price retraces above 0.50, B becomes the 0.382 level
The algorithm ensures proper harmonic logic by validating that price stays below the B-level, preventing invalid structures.
3. Projects a Harmonic C-Target
Using harmonic extension logic, the script calculates:
C = B − (X − A)
This projects a symmetrical continuation leg relative to XA, giving traders an estimated “C-completion zone."
The C-target is displayed visually and numerically in an on-chart info table.
4. Plots Full Trend-Based Fibonacci Levels
The indicator draws Fibonacci levels from 0.0 to 2.618
Users can independently enable/disable each level, adjust line styling, choose color themes, add price labels, and display retracement percentages.
🎨 Visualization & Usability
The script includes:
Clean, customizable Fibonacci layout
Optional price labels & percentage labels
Extendable line options
Highlighted XABC structure
Dashed projection lines for the C-target
A compact info table showing X, A, B, C prices

📘 Conceptual Foundation
This indicator is based on:
Trend-retracement logic using classic Fibonacci ratios
Structural swing identification
Basic harmonic symmetry (XA → BC projection)
Downtrend-based continuation expectations
It does not attempt to identify full harmonic patterns (like Gartley, Bat, or Crab), but instead focuses on the trend-based XABC segment and projected continuation targets.
🔧 Inputs Overview
Key user controls include:
Lookback window for pivot detection
Individual Fibonacci level visibility toggles
Color controls & line styling
Label display options
XABC formation display toggle
C-target on/off
All parameter names in the script are English; if translations appear in inputs, their English equivalents are included here to comply with TradingView publication rules.
⚠️ Limitations & Notes
The indicator does not predict future price direction.
It does not repaint, but pivot detection naturally depends on completed bars.
The C-projection is a geometric estimate, not a trading signal.
No forward-looking or non-causal data is used.
This tool is intended for structural analysis, not automated strategy execution.
📎 How to Use It
Add the indicator to a clean chart.
Observe the most recent X → A swing.
Watch how price interacts with 0.382 / 0.5 retracement to form the B-point.
Use the projected C-target as a reference zone for potential continuation completions.
Combine with your own trend, momentum, or volume methods for confirmation.
✔ Originality
This script is fully original and not derived from any pre-existing public script.
It combines:
Automated dynamic trend-based Fibonacci framework
Custom XABC structure detection
Harmonic-style C projection logic
Fully customizable visualization system
The indicator is intended to add meaningful analytical value to the community beyond standard Fibonacci tools.
TraderDemircan Auto Fibonacci RetracementDescription:
What This Indicator Does:This indicator automatically identifies significant swing high and swing low points within a customizable lookback period and draws comprehensive Fibonacci retracement and extension levels between them. Unlike the manual Fibonacci tool that requires you to constantly redraw levels as price action evolves, this automated version continuously updates the Fibonacci grid based on the most recent major swing points, ensuring you always have current and relevant support/resistance zones displayed on your chart.Key Features:
Automatic Swing Detection: Continuously scans the specified lookback period to find the most significant high and low points, eliminating manual drawing errors
Comprehensive Level Coverage: Plots 16 Fibonacci levels including 7 retracement levels (0.0 to 1.0) and 9 extension levels (1.115 to 3.618)
Top-Down Methodology: Draws from swing high to swing low (right-to-left), following the traditional Fibonacci retracement convention where 100% is at the top
Dual Labeling System: Shows both exact price values and Fibonacci percentages for easy reference
Complete Customization: Individual toggle controls and color selection for each of the 16 levels
Flexible Display Options: Adjust line thickness (1-5), style (solid/dashed/dotted), and extension direction (left/right/both)
Visual Swing Markers: Red diamond at the swing high (starting point) and green diamond at the swing low (ending point)
Optional Trend Line: Connects the two swing points to visualize the overall price movement direction
How It Works:The indicator employs a sophisticated swing point detection algorithm that operates in two stages:Stage 1 - Find the Swing Low (Support Base):
Scans the entire lookback period to identify the lowest low, which becomes the anchor point (0.0 level in traditional retracement terms, though displayed at the bottom of the grid).Stage 2 - Find the Swing High (Resistance Peak):
After identifying the swing low, searches for the highest high that occurred after that low point, establishing the swing range. This creates a valid price movement range for Fibonacci analysis.Fibonacci Calculation Method:
The indicator uses the top-down approach where:
1.0 Level = Swing High (100% retracement, the top)
0.0 Level = Swing Low (0% retracement, the bottom)
Retracement Levels (0.236 to 0.786) = Potential support zones during pullbacks from the high
Extension Levels (1.115 to 3.618) = Potential target zones below the swing low
Formula: Price = SwingHigh - (SwingHigh - SwingLow) × FibonacciLevelThis ensures that 0.0 is at the bottom and extensions (>1.0) plot below the swing low, following standard Fibonacci retracement convention.Fibonacci Levels Explained:Retracement Levels (0.0 - 1.0):
0.0 (Gray): Swing low - the base support level
0.236 (Red): Shallow retracement, first minor support
0.382 (Orange): Moderate retracement, commonly watched support
0.5 (Purple): Psychological midpoint, significant support/resistance
0.618 (Blue - Golden Ratio): The most important retracement level, high-probability reversal zone
0.786 (Cyan): Deep retracement, last defense before full reversal
1.0 (Gray): Swing high - the initial resistance level
Extension Levels (1.115 - 3.618):
1.115 (Green): First extension, minimal downside target
1.272 (Light Green): Minor extension, common profit target
1.414 (Yellow-Green): Square root of 2, mathematical significance
1.618 (Gold - Golden Extension): Primary downside target, most watched extension level
2.0 (Orange-Red): 200% extension, psychological round number
2.382 (Pink): Secondary extension target
2.618 (Purple): Deep extension, major target zone
3.272 (Deep Purple): Extreme extension level
3.618 (Blue): Maximum extension, rare but powerful target
How to Use:For Retracement Trading (Buying Pullbacks in Uptrends):
Wait for price to make a significant move up from swing low to swing high
When price starts pulling back, watch for reactions at key Fibonacci levels
Most common entry zones: 0.382, 0.5, and especially 0.618 (golden ratio)
Enter long positions when price shows reversal signals (candlestick patterns, volume increase) at these levels
Place stop loss below the next Fibonacci level
Target: Return to swing high or higher extension levels
For Extension Trading (Profit Targets):
After price breaks below the swing low (0.0 level), use extensions as profit targets
First target: 1.272 (conservative)
Primary target: 1.618 (golden extension - most commonly reached)
Extended target: 2.618 (for strong trends)
Extreme target: 3.618 (only in powerful trending moves)
For Counter-Trend Trading (Fading Extremes):
When price reaches deep retracements (0.786 or below), look for exhaustion signals
Watch for divergences between price and momentum indicators at these levels
Enter reversal trades with tight stops below the swing low
Target: 0.5 or 0.382 levels on the bounce
For Trend Continuation:
In strong uptrends, shallow retracements (0.236 to 0.382) often hold
Use these as low-risk entry points to join the existing trend
Failure to hold 0.5 suggests weakening momentum
Breaking below 0.618 often indicates trend reversal, not just retracement
Multi-Timeframe Strategy:
Use daily timeframe Fibonacci for major support/resistance zones
Use 4H or 1H Fibonacci for precise entry timing within those zones
Confluence between multiple timeframe Fibonacci levels creates high-probability zones
Example: Daily 0.618 level aligning with 4H 0.5 level = strong support
Settings Guide:Lookback Period (10-500):
Short (20-50): Captures recent swings, more frequent updates, suited for day trading
Medium (50-150): Balanced approach, good for swing trading (default: 100)
Long (150-500): Identifies major market structure, suited for position trading
Higher values = more stable levels but slower to adapt to new trends
Pivot Sensitivity (1-20):
Controls how many candles are required to confirm a swing point
Low (1-5): More sensitive, identifies minor swings (default: 5)
High (10-20): Less sensitive, only major swings qualify
Use higher sensitivity on lower timeframes to filter noise
Individual Level Toggles:
Enable only the levels you actively trade to reduce chart clutter
Common minimalist setup: Show only 0.382, 0.5, 0.618, 1.0, 1.618, 2.618
Comprehensive setup: Enable all levels for maximum information
Visual Customization:
Line Thickness: Thicker lines (3-5) for presentation, thinner (1-2) for trading
Line Style: Solid for primary levels (0.5, 0.618, 1.618), dashed/dotted for secondary
Price Labels: Essential for knowing exact entry/exit prices
Percent Labels: Helpful for quickly identifying which Fibonacci level you're looking at
Extension Direction: Extend right for forward-looking analysis, left for historical context
What Makes This Original:While Fibonacci indicators are common on TradingView, this script's originality comes from:
Intelligent Two-Stage Detection: Unlike simple high/low finders, this uses a sequential approach (find low first, then find the high that occurred after it), ensuring logical price flow representation
Comprehensive Level Set: Includes 16 levels spanning from retracement to extreme extensions, more than most Fibonacci tools
Top-Down Methodology: Properly implements the traditional Fibonacci retracement convention (high to low) rather than the reverse
Automatic Range Validation: Only draws Fibonacci when both swing points are valid and in the correct temporal order
Dual Extension Options: Separate controls for extending lines left (historical context) and right (forward projection)
Smart Label Positioning: Places percentage labels on the left and price labels on the right for clarity
Visual Swing Confirmation: Diamond markers at swing points help users understand why levels are positioned where they are
Important Considerations:
Historical Nature: Fibonacci retracements are based on past price swings; they don't predict future moves, only suggest potential support/resistance
Self-Fulfilling Prophecy: Fibonacci levels work partly because many traders watch them, creating actual support/resistance at those levels
Not All Levels Hold: In strong trends, price may slice through multiple Fibonacci levels without pausing
Context Matters: Fibonacci works best when aligned with other support/resistance (previous highs/lows, moving averages, trendlines)
Volume Confirmation: The most reliable Fibonacci reversals occur with volume spikes at key levels
Dynamic Updates: The levels will redraw as new swing highs/lows form, so don't rely solely on static screenshots
Best Practices:
Don't Trade Blindly: Fibonacci levels are zones, not exact prices. Look for confirmation (candlestick patterns, indicators, volume)
Combine with Price Action: Watch for pin bars, engulfing candles, or doji at key Fibonacci levels
Use Stop Losses: Place stops beyond the next Fibonacci level to give trades room but limit risk
Scale In/Out: Consider entering partial positions at 0.5 and adding more at 0.618 rather than all-in at one level
Check Multiple Timeframes: Daily Fibonacci + 4H Fibonacci convergence = high-probability zone
Respect the 0.618: This golden ratio level is historically the most reliable for reversals
Extensions Need Strong Trends: Don't expect extensions to be hit unless there's clear momentum beyond the swing low
Optimal Timeframes:
Scalping (1-5 minutes): Lookback 20-30, watch 0.382, 0.5, 0.618 only
Day Trading (15m-1H): Lookback 50-100, all retracement levels important
Swing Trading (4H-Daily): Lookback 100-200, focus on 0.5, 0.618, 0.786, and extensions
Position Trading (Daily-Weekly): Lookback 200-500, all levels relevant for long-term planning
Common Fibonacci Trading Mistakes to Avoid:
Wrong Swing Selection: Choosing insignificant swings produces meaningless levels
Premature Entry: Entering as soon as price touches a Fibonacci level without confirmation
Ignoring Trend: Fighting the main trend by buying deep retracements in downtrends
Over-Reliance: Using Fibonacci in isolation without confirming with other technical factors
Static Analysis: Not updating your Fibonacci as market structure evolves
Arbitrary Lookback: Using the same lookback period for all assets and timeframes
Integration with Other Tools:Fibonacci + Moving Averages:
When 0.618 level aligns with 50 or 200 EMA, confluence creates stronger support
Price bouncing from both Fibonacci and MA simultaneously = high-probability trade
Fibonacci + RSI/Stochastic:
Oversold indicators at 0.618 or deeper retracements = strong buy signal
Overbought indicators at swing high (1.0) = potential reversal warning
Fibonacci + Volume Profile:
High-volume nodes aligning with Fibonacci levels create robust support/resistance
Low-volume areas near Fibonacci levels may see rapid price movement through them
Fibonacci + Trendlines:
Fibonacci retracement level + ascending trendline = double support
Breaking both simultaneously confirms trend change
Technical Notes:
Uses ta.lowest() and ta.highest() for efficient swing detection across the lookback period
Implements dynamic line and label arrays for clean redraws without memory leaks
All calculations update in real-time as new bars form
Extension options allow customization without modifying core code
Format.mintick ensures price labels match the symbol's minimum price increment
Tooltip on swing markers shows exact price values for precision
Market Profile Dominance Analyzer# Market Profile Dominance Analyzer
## 📊 OVERVIEW
**Market Profile Dominance Analyzer** is an advanced multi-factor indicator that combines Market Profile methodology with composite dominance scoring to identify buyer and seller strength across higher timeframes. Unlike traditional volume profile indicators that only show volume distribution, or simple buyer/seller indicators that only compare candle colors, this script integrates six distinct analytical components into a unified dominance measurement system.
This indicator helps traders understand **WHO controls the market** by analyzing price position relative to Market Profile key levels (POC, Value Area) combined with volume distribution, momentum, and trend characteristics.
## 🎯 WHAT MAKES THIS ORIGINAL
### **Hybrid Analytical Approach**
This indicator uniquely combines two separate methodologies that are typically analyzed independently:
1. **Market Profile Analysis** - Calculates Point of Control (POC) and Value Area (VA) using volume distribution across price channels on higher timeframes
2. **Multi-Factor Dominance Scoring** - Weights six independent factors to produce a composite dominance index
### **Six-Factor Composite Analysis**
The dominance score integrates:
- Price position relative to POC (equilibrium assessment)
- Price position relative to Value Area boundaries (acceptance/rejection zones)
- Volume imbalance within Value Area (institutional bias detection)
- Price momentum (directional strength)
- Volume trend comparison (participation analysis)
- Normalized Value Area position (precise location within fair value zone)
### **Adaptive Higher Timeframe Integration**
The script features an intelligent auto-selection system that automatically chooses appropriate higher timeframes based on the current chart period, ensuring optimal Market Profile structure regardless of the trading timeframe being analyzed.
## 💡 HOW IT WORKS
### **Market Profile Construction**
The indicator builds a Market Profile structure on a higher timeframe by:
1. **Session Identification** - Detects new higher timeframe sessions using `request.security()` to ensure accurate period boundaries
2. **Data Accumulation** - Stores high, low, and volume data for all bars within the current higher timeframe session
3. **Channel Distribution** - Divides the session's price range into configurable channels (default: 20 rows)
4. **Volume Mapping** - Distributes each bar's volume proportionally across all price channels it touched
### **Key Level Calculation**
**Point of Control (POC)**
- Identifies the price channel with the highest accumulated volume
- Represents the price level where the most trading activity occurred
- Serves as a magnetic level where price often returns
**Value Area (VA)**
- Starts at POC and expands both upward and downward
- Includes channels until reaching the specified percentage of total volume (default: 70%)
- Expansion algorithm compares adjacent volumes and prioritizes the direction with higher activity
- Defines the "fair value" zone where most market participants agreed to trade
### **Dominance Score Formula**
```
Dominance Score = (price_vs_poc × 10) +
(price_vs_va × 5) +
(volume_imbalance × 0.5) +
(price_momentum × 100) +
(volume_trend × 5) +
(va_position × 15)
```
**Component Breakdown:**
- **price_vs_poc**: +1 if above POC, -1 if below (shows which side of equilibrium)
- **price_vs_va**: +2 if above VAH, -2 if below VAL, 0 if inside VA
- **volume_imbalance**: Percentage difference between upper and lower VA volumes
- **price_momentum**: 5-period SMA of price change (directional acceleration)
- **volume_trend**: Compares 5-period vs 20-period volume averages
- **va_position**: Normalized position within Value Area (-1 to +1)
The composite score is then smoothed using EMA with configurable sensitivity to reduce noise while maintaining responsiveness.
### **Market State Determination**
- **BUYERS Dominant**: Smooth dominance > +10 (bullish control)
- **SELLERS Dominant**: Smooth dominance < -10 (bearish control)
- **NEUTRAL**: Between -10 and +10 (balanced market)
## 📈 HOW TO USE THIS INDICATOR
### **Trend Identification**
- **Green background** indicates buyers are in control - look for long opportunities
- **Red background** indicates sellers are in control - look for short opportunities
- **Gray background** indicates neutral market - consider range-bound strategies
### **Signal Interpretation**
**Buy Signals** (green triangle) appear when:
- Dominance crosses above -10 from oversold conditions
- Previous state was not already bullish
- Suggests shift from seller to buyer control
**Sell Signals** (red triangle) appear when:
- Dominance crosses below +10 from overbought conditions
- Previous state was not already bearish
- Suggests shift from buyer to seller control
### **Value Area Context**
Monitor the information table (top-right) to understand market structure:
- **Price vs POC**: Shows if trading above/below equilibrium
- **Volume Imbalance**: Positive values favor buyers, negative favors sellers
- **Market State**: Current dominant force (BUYERS/SELLERS/NEUTRAL)
### **Multi-Timeframe Strategy**
The auto-timeframe feature analyzes higher timeframe structure:
- On 1-minute charts → analyzes 2-hour structure
- On 5-minute charts → analyzes Daily structure
- On 15-minute charts → analyzes Weekly structure
- On Daily charts → analyzes Yearly structure
This higher timeframe context helps avoid counter-trend trades against the dominant force.
### **Confluence Trading**
Strongest signals occur when multiple factors align:
1. Price above VAH + positive volume imbalance + buyers dominant = Strong bullish setup
2. Price below VAL + negative volume imbalance + sellers dominant = Strong bearish setup
3. Price at POC + neutral state = Potential breakout/breakdown pivot

## 🔔 ALERTS
The indicator includes three alert conditions:
1. **Buyers Dominate** - Fires on buy signal crossovers
2. **Sellers Dominate** - Fires on sell signal crossovers
3. **Dominance Shift** - Fires when dominance crosses zero line
## 📊 BEST PRACTICES
### **Timeframe Selection**
- **Scalping (1-5min)**: Focus on 2H-4H dominance shifts
- **Day Trading (15-60min)**: Monitor Daily and Weekly structure
- **Swing Trading (4H-Daily)**: Track Weekly and Monthly dominance
### **Confirmation Strategies**
1. **Trend Following**: Enter in direction of dominance above/below ±20
2. **Reversal Trading**: Fade extreme readings beyond ±50 when diverging with price
3. **Breakout Trading**: Look for dominance expansion beyond ±30 with increasing volume
### **Risk Management**
- Avoid trading during NEUTRAL states (dominance between -10 and +10)
- Use POC levels as logical stop-loss placement
- Consider VAH/VAL as profit targets for mean reversion
## ⚠️ LIMITATIONS & WARNINGS
**Data Requirements**
- Requires sufficient historical data on current chart (minimum 100 bars recommended)
- Lower timeframes may show fewer bars per HTF session initially
- More accurate results after several complete HTF sessions have formed
**Not a Standalone System**
- This indicator analyzes market structure and participant control
- Should be combined with price action, support/resistance, and risk management
- Does not guarantee profitable trades - past dominance does not predict future results
**Repainting Characteristics**
- Higher timeframe levels (POC, VAH, VAL) update as new bars form within the session
- Dominance score recalculates with each new bar
- Historical signals remain fixed, but current session data is developing
**Volume Limitations**
- Uses exchange-provided volume data which varies by instrument type
- Forex and some CFDs use tick volume (not actual transaction volume)
- Most accurate on instruments with reliable volume data (stocks, futures, crypto)
## 🔍 TECHNICAL NOTES
**Performance Optimization**
- Uses `max_bars_back=5000` for extended historical analysis
- Efficient array management prevents memory issues
- Automatic cleanup of session data on new period
**Calculation Method**
- Market Profile uses actual volume distribution, not TPO (Time Price Opportunity)
- Value Area expansion follows traditional Market Profile auction theory
- All calculations occur on the chart's current symbol and timeframe
## 📚 EDUCATIONAL VALUE
This indicator helps traders understand:
- How institutional traders use Market Profile to identify fair value
- The relationship between price, volume, and market acceptance
- Multi-factor analysis techniques for assessing market conditions

VWAP – Pivot Pairs (SECONDS‑BASED RESET)VWAP – Pivot Pairs (SECONDS-BASED RESET) is a Pine Script v6 indicator for TradingView that combines pivot-based breakout detection with resettable VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price) calculations over user-defined rolling time periods in seconds.It identifies high and low swing pivots via breakout logic, then calculates two VWAP lines per anchor:One using high/low as the price source,
One using close as the price source.
These form "pivot pairs" that reset automatically at the start of each custom-duration period (e.g., every 300 seconds), starting from a user-defined UTC time of day (default: 09:30 UTC).Visuals include:Colored VWAP lines (high pair: red, low pair: green),
Semi-transparent fill zones between each pair,
Optional toggles to show/hide high or low pairs.
Use CasesUse Case
Description
Intraday Scalping (1–15 min charts)
Use 60–300 second resets to capture micro-trends within larger sessions. VWAP pairs act as dynamic support/resistance after breakouts.
High-Frequency / Algo Validation
Backtest strategies on tick/second charts where traditional session resets fail. Align resets with exchange micro-sessions or volatility windows.
Opening Range Breakout (ORB) Enhancement
Set period_seconds = 1800 (30 min) and start time = 09:30 UTC → VWAP builds only on first 30 mins post-open, then floats. Pairs show deviation from ORB mean.
Range-Bound Market Analysis
In choppy markets, VWAP pairs converge near fair value. Divergence signals potential breakout. Fill color intensity shows conviction.
Multi-Timeframe Confluence
Overlay on 1-second chart with 300s reset → matches 5-minute structure. Use close-based VWAP for entries, high/low-based for stops.
