Fractal Pattern AnalysisFractal Pattern Key Elements and How to Read Them
1. Williams Fractals (Triangle Markers)
Red Triangles Pointing Down: Bearish fractals - potential resistance points and selling opportunities
Green Triangles Pointing Up: Bullish fractals - potential support points and buying opportunities
When to Act: Look for bullish fractals forming during uptrends and bearish fractals during downtrends
2. Moving Averages
Yellow Line (20 EMA): Short-term trend
Blue Line (50 EMA): Medium-term trend
Red Line (200 EMA): Long-term trend
Interpretation: When shorter MAs cross above longer MAs, it's bullish; when they cross below, it's bearish
Key Signal: The alignment of all three MAs (stacked in order) confirms a strong trend
3. Background Color
Green Background: Uptrend (all MAs aligned bullishly)
Red Background: Downtrend (all MAs aligned bearishly)
Yellow Background: Sideways/neutral market (MAs not clearly aligned)
4. Market Structure Markers (Small Circles)
Green Circles: Higher highs and higher lows (bullish structure)
Red Circles: Lower highs and lower lows (bearish structure)
Pattern Recognition: Multiple green circles suggest continuing uptrend; multiple red circles suggest continuing downtrend
5. Reversal Diamonds ("Rev" Markers)
Yellow Diamonds: Potential trend reversal points
Usage: These mark where the current trend might be changing direction
Confirmation: Wait for price to close beyond the diamond before acting
6. Bollinger Bands (Blue Lines with Fill)
Middle Band: 20-period SMA
Upper/Lower Bands: Volatility channels
Signals: Price touching upper band in uptrend is strength; touching lower band in downtrend is weakness
Squeeze: When bands narrow, expect a volatility breakout soon
7. Status Table (Top Right)
Shows current trend, volume direction, and overall signal at a glance
"BUY" signal appears when multiple bullish conditions align
"SELL" signal appears when multiple bearish conditions align

SMC+The "SMC+" indicator is a comprehensive tool designed to overlay key Smart Money Concepts (SMC) levels, support/resistance zones, order blocks (OB), fair value gaps (FVG), and trap detection on your TradingView chart. It aims to assist traders in identifying potential areas of interest based on price action, swing structures, and volume dynamics across multiple timeframes. This indicator is fully customizable, allowing users to adjust lookback periods, colors, opacity, and sensitivity to suit their trading style.
Key Components and Functionality
1. Key Levels (Support and Resistance)
This section plots horizontal lines representing support and resistance levels based on highs and lows over three distinct lookback periods, plus daily nearest levels.
Short-Term Lookback Period (Default: 20 bars)
Plots the highest high (short_high) and lowest low (short_low) over the specified period.
Visualized as dotted lines with customizable colors (Short-Term Resistance Color, Short-Term Support Color) and opacity (Short-Term Resistance Opacity, Short-Term Support Opacity).
Adjustment Tip: Increase the lookback (e.g., to 30-50) for less frequent but stronger levels on higher timeframes, or decrease (e.g., to 10-15) for scalping on lower timeframes.
Long-Term Lookback Period (Default: 50 bars)
Plots broader support (long_low) and resistance (long_high) levels using a solid line style.
Customizable via Long-Term Resistance Color, Long-Term Support Color, and their respective opacity settings.
Adjustment Tip: Extend to 100-200 bars for swing trading or major trend analysis on daily/weekly charts.
Extra-Long Lookback Period (Default: 100 bars)
Identifies significant historical highs (extra_long_high) and lows (extra_long_low) with dashed lines.
Configurable with Extra-Long Resistance Color, Extra-Long Support Color, and opacity settings.
Adjustment Tip: Use 200-500 bars for monthly charts to capture macro-level key zones.
Daily Nearest Resistance and Support Levels
Dynamically calculates the nearest resistance (daily_res_level) and support (daily_sup_level) based on the current day’s price action relative to historical highs and lows.
Displayed with Daily Resistance Color and Daily Support Color (with opacity options).
Adjustment Tip: Works best on intraday charts (e.g., 15m, 1h) to track daily pivots; combine with volume profile for confirmation.
How It Works: These levels update dynamically as new highs/lows form, providing a visual guide to potential reversal or breakout zones.
2. SMC Inputs (Smart Money Concepts)
This section identifies swing structures, order blocks, fair value gaps, and entry signals based on SMC principles.
SMC Swing Lookback Period (Default: 12 bars)
Defines the period for detecting swing highs (smc_swing_high) and lows (smc_swing_low).
Adjustment Tip: Increase to 20-30 for smoother swings on higher timeframes; reduce to 5-10 for faster signals on lower timeframes.
Minimum Swing Size (%) (Default: 0.5%)
Filters out minor price movements to focus on significant swings.
Adjustment Tip: Raise to 1-2% for volatile markets (e.g., crypto) to avoid noise; lower to 0.2-0.3% for forex pairs with tight ranges.
Order Block Sensitivity (Default: 1.0)
Scales the size of detected order blocks (OBs) for bullish reversal (smc_ob_bull), bearish reversal (smc_ob_bear), and continuation (smc_cont_ob).
Visuals include customizable colors, opacity, border thickness, and blinking effects (e.g., SMC Bullish Reversal OB Color, SMC Bearish Reversal OB Blink Thickness).
Adjustment Tip: Increase to 1.5-2.0 for wider OBs in choppy markets; keep at 1.0 for precision in trending conditions.
Minimum FVG Size (%) (Default: 0.3%)
Sets the minimum gap size for Fair Value Gaps (fvg_high, fvg_low), displayed as boxes with Fair Value Gap Color and FVG Opacity.
Adjustment Tip: Increase to 0.5-1% for larger, more reliable gaps; decrease to 0.1-0.2% for scalping smaller inefficiencies.
How It Works:
Bullish Reversal OB: Detects a bearish candle followed by a bullish break, marking a potential demand zone.
Bearish Reversal OB: Identifies a bullish candle followed by a bearish break, marking a supply zone.
Continuation OB: Spots strong bullish momentum after a prior high, indicating a continuation zone.
FVG: Highlights bullish gaps where price may retrace to fill.
Entry Signals: Plots triangles (SMC Long Entry) when price retests an OB with a liquidity sweep or break of structure (BOS).
3. Trap Inputs
This section detects potential bull and bear traps based on price action, volume, and key level rejections.
Min Down Move for Bear Trap (%) (Default: 1.0%)
Sets the minimum drop required after a bearish OB to qualify as a trap.
Visualized with Bear Trap Color, Bear Trap Opacity, and blinking borders.
Adjustment Tip: Increase to 2-3% for stronger traps in trending markets; lower to 0.5% for ranging conditions.
Min Up Move for Bull Trap (%) (Default: 1.0%)
Sets the minimum rise required after a bullish OB to flag a trap.
Customizable with Bull Trap Color, Bull Trap Border Thickness, etc.
Adjustment Tip: Adjust similarly to bear traps based on market volatility.
Volume Lookback for Traps (Default: 5 bars)
Compares current volume to a moving average (avg_volume) to filter low-volume traps.
Adjustment Tip: Increase to 10-20 for confirmation on higher timeframes; reduce to 3 for intraday sensitivity.
How It Works:
Bear Trap: Triggers when price drops significantly after a bearish OB but reverses up with low volume or support rejection.
Bull Trap: Activates when price rises after a bullish OB but fails with low volume or resistance rejection.
Boxes highlight trap zones, resetting when price breaks out.
4. Visual Customization
Line Width (Default: 2)
Adjusts thickness of support/resistance lines.
Tip: Increase to 3-4 for visibility on cluttered charts.
Blink On (Default: Close)
Sets whether OB/FVG borders blink based on Open or Close price interaction.
Tip: Use "Open" for intraday precision; "Close" for confirmed reactions.
Colors and Opacity: Each element (OBs, FVGs, traps, key levels) has customizable colors, opacity (0-100), border thickness (1-5 or 1-7), and blink effects for dynamic visualization.
How to Use SMC+
Setup: Apply the indicator to any chart and adjust inputs based on your timeframe and market.
Key Levels: Watch for price reactions at short, long, extra-long, or daily levels for potential reversals or breakouts.
SMC Signals: Look for entry signals (triangles) near OBs or FVGs, confirmed by liquidity sweeps or BOS.
Traps: Avoid false breakouts by monitoring trap boxes, especially near key levels with low volume.
Notes:
This indicator is a visual aid and does not guarantee trading success. Combine it with other analysis tools and risk management strategies.
Performance may vary across markets and timeframes; test settings thoroughly before use.
For optimal results, experiment with lookback periods and sensitivity settings to match your trading style.
The default settings are optimal for 1 minute and 10 second time frames for small cap low float stocks.
Continuation OB are Blue.
Bullish Reversal OB color is Green
Bearish Reversal OB color is Red
FVG color is purple
Bear Trap OB is red with a green border and often appears with a Bearish Reversal OB signaling caution to a short position.
Bull trap OB is green with a Red border signaling caution to a long position.
All active OB area are highlighted and solid in color while other non active OB area are dimmed.
My personal favorite setups are when we have an active bullish reversal with an active FVG along with an active Continuation OB.
Another personal favorite is the Bearish reversal OB signaling an end to a recent uptrend.
The Trap OB detection are also a unique and Original helpful source of information.
The OB have a white boarder by default that are colored black giving a simulated blinking effect when price is acting in that zone.
The Trap OB border are colored with respect to direction of intended trap, all of which can be customized to personal style.
All vaild OB zones are shown compact in size ,a unique and original view until its no longer valid.
EMA-Based Squeeze Dynamics (Gap Momentum & EWMA Projection)EMA-Based Squeeze Dynamics (Gap Momentum & EWMA Projection)
🚨 Main Utility: Early Squeeze Warning
The primary function of this indicator is to warn traders early when the market is approaching a "squeeze"—a tightening condition that often precedes significant moves or regime shifts. By visually highlighting areas of increasing tension, it helps traders anticipate potential volatility and prepare accordingly. This is intended to be a statistically and psychologically grounded replacement of so-called "fib-time-zones," which are overly-deterministic and subjective.
📌 Overview
The EMA-Based Squeeze Dynamics indicator projects future regime shifts (such as golden and death crosses) using exponential moving averages (EMAs). It employs historical interval data and current market conditions to dynamically forecast when the critical EMAs (50-period and 200-period) will reconverge, marking likely trend-change points.
This indicator leverages two core ideas:
Behavioral finance theory: Traders often collectively anticipate popular EMA crossovers, creating a self-fulfilling prophecy (normative social influence), similar to findings from Solomon Asch’s conformity experiments.
Bayesian-like updates: It utilizes historical crossover intervals as a prior, dynamically updating expectations based on evolving market data, ensuring its signals remain objectively grounded in actual market behavior.
⚙️ Technical & Mathematical Explanation
1. EMA Calculations and Regime Definitions
The indicator uses three EMAs:
Fast (9-period): Represents short-term price movement.
Medial (50-period): Indicates medium-term trend direction.
Slow (200-period): Defines long-term market sentiment.
Regime States:
Bullish: 50 EMA is above the 200 EMA.
Bearish: 50 EMA is below the 200 EMA.
A shift between these states triggers visual markers (arrows and labels) directly on the chart.
2. Gap Dynamics and Historical Intervals
At each crossover:
The indicator records the gap (distance) between the 50 and 200 EMAs.
It tracks the historical intervals between past crossovers.
An Exponentially Weighted Moving Average (EWMA) of these intervals is calculated, weighting recent intervals more heavily, dynamically updating expectations.
Important note:
After every regime shift, the projected crossover line resets its calculation. This reset is visually evident as the projection line appears to move further away after each regime change, temporarily "repelled" until the EMAs begin converging again. This ensures projections remain realistic, grounded in actual EMA convergence, and prevents overly optimistic forecasts immediately after a regime shift.
3. Gap Momentum & Adaptive Scaling
The indicator measures how quickly or slowly the gap between EMAs is changing ("gap momentum") and adjusts its forecast accordingly:
If the gap narrows rapidly, a crossover becomes more imminent.
If the gap widens, the next crossover is pushed further into the future.
The "gap factor" dynamically scales the projection based on recent gap momentum, bounded between reasonable limits (0.7–1.3).
4. Squeeze Ratio & Background Color (Visual Cues)
A "squeeze ratio" is computed when market conditions indicate tightening:
In a bullish regime, if the fast EMA is below the medial EMA (price pulling back towards long-term support), the squeeze ratio increases.
In a bearish regime, if the fast EMA rises above the medial EMA (price rallying into long-term resistance), the squeeze ratio increases.
What the Background Colors Mean:
Red Background: Indicates a bullish squeeze—price is compressing downward, hinting a bullish reversal or continuation breakout may occur soon.
Green Background: Indicates a bearish squeeze—price is compressing upward, suggesting a bearish reversal or continuation breakout could soon follow.
Opacity Explanation:
The transparency (opacity) of the background indicates the intensity of the squeeze:
High Opacity (solid color): Strong squeeze, high likelihood of imminent volatility or regime shift.
Low Opacity (faint color): Mild squeeze, signaling early stages of tightening.
Thus, more vivid colors serve as urgent visual warnings that a squeeze is rapidly intensifying.
5. Projected Next Crossover and Pseudo Crossover Mechanism
The indicator calculates an estimated future bar when a crossover (and thus, regime shift) is expected to occur. This calculation incorporates:
Historical EWMA interval.
Current squeeze intensity.
Gap momentum.
A dynamic penalty based on divergence from baseline conditions.
The "Pseudo Crossover" Explained:
A key adaptive feature is the pseudo crossover mechanism. If price action significantly deviates from the projected crossover (for example, if price stays beyond the projected line longer than expected), the indicator acknowledges the projection was incorrect and triggers a "pseudo crossover" event. Essentially, this acts as a reset, updating historical intervals with a weighted adjustment to recalibrate future predictions. In other words, if the indicator’s initial forecast proves inaccurate, it recognizes this quickly, resets itself, and tries again—ensuring it remains responsive and adaptive to actual market conditions.
🧠 Behavioral Theory: Normative Social Influence
This indicator is rooted in behavioral finance theory, specifically leveraging normative social influence (conformity). Traders commonly watch EMA signals (especially the 50 and 200 EMA crossovers). When traders collectively anticipate these signals, they begin trading ahead of actual crossovers, effectively creating self-fulfilling prophecies—similar to Solomon Asch’s famous conformity experiments, where individuals adopted group behaviors even against direct evidence.
This behavior means genuine regime shifts (actual EMA crossovers) rarely occur until EMAs visibly reconverge due to widespread anticipatory trading activity. The indicator quantifies these dynamics by objectively measuring EMA convergence and updating projections accordingly.
📊 How to Use This Indicator
Monitor the background color and opacity as primary visual cues.
A strongly colored background (solid red/green) is an early alert that a squeeze is intensifying—prepare for potential volatility or a regime shift.
Projected crossover lines give a dynamic target bar to watch for trend reversals or confirmations.
After each regime shift, expect a reset of the projection line. The line may seem initially repelled from price action, but it will recalibrate as EMAs converge again.
Trust the pseudo crossover mechanism to automatically recalibrate the indicator if its original projection misses.
🎯 Why Choose This Indicator?
Early Warning: Visual squeeze intensity helps anticipate market breakouts.
Behaviorally Grounded: Leverages real trader psychology (conformity and anticipation).
Objective & Adaptive: Uses real-time, data-driven updates rather than static levels or subjective analysis.
Easy to Interpret: Clear visual signals (arrows, labels, colors) simplify trading decisions.
Self-correcting (Pseudo Crossovers): Quickly adjusts when initial predictions miss, maintaining accuracy over time.
Summary:
The EMA-Based Squeeze Dynamics Indicator combines behavioral insights, dynamic Bayesian-like updates, intuitive visual cues, and a self-correcting pseudo crossover feature to offer traders a reliable early warning system for market squeezes and impending regime shifts. It transparently recalibrates after each regime shift and automatically resets whenever projections prove inaccurate—ensuring you always have an adaptive, realistic forecast.
Whether you're a discretionary trader or algorithmic strategist, this indicator provides a powerful tool to navigate market volatility effectively.

Psych Level ScreenerThis Script is intended for Pine Screener and is not designed as a indicator!!!
Pine Screener is something TradingView has recently added and is still only a Beta version.
Pine Screener itself is currently only available to members that are Premium and above.
What it does:
This screener will actively look for tickers that are close to Pysch level in your watchlist.
Psych level here refers to price levels that are round numbers such as 50,100,1000.
Users can specify the offset from a psych level (in %) and scanner will scan for tickers that are within the offset. For example if offset is set at 5% then it will scan for tickers that are within +/-5% of a ticker. (for $100 psych level it will scan for ticker in $95-105 range)
Once scan is completed you will be able to see:
- Current price of ticker
- Closest psych level for that ticker
- % and $ move required for it to hit that psych level
- Ticker's day range and Average range (with % of average range completed for the day)
- Ticker volume and average volume
Setting up:
www.tradingview.com
Above link will help you guide how to setup Pine screener.
Use steps below to guide you the setup for this specific screener:
1. Open Pine Screener (open new tab, select screener the "Pine")
2. At the top, click on "Choose Indicator" and select "Psych Level Screener"
3. At the top again, click "Indicator Psych Level Screener" and select settings.
4. Change setting to your needs. Hit Apply when done.
a)"% offset from Psych Level" will scan for any stocks in your watchlist which are +/- from the offset you chose for any given psych level. Default is 5. (e.g. If offset is 5%, it will scan for stocks that are between $95-$105 vs $100 psych level, $190-$210 for $200 psych level and so on)
b) ATR length is number of previous trading days you want to include in your calculation. Moving Average Type is calculation method.
c) Rvol length is number of previous trading days you want to include in your calculation.
5. On top left, click "Price within specified offset of Psych. Level" and select true. Then select "Scan" which is located at the top next to "Indicator Psych Level Screener". This will filter out all the stock that meets the condition.
6. At the end of the column on the right there is a "+" symbol. From there you can add/remove columns. 30min/1hr/4hr/1D Trend are disabled by default so if this is needed please enable them.
7. You can change the order of ticker by ascending and descending order of each column label if needed. Just click on the arrow that comes up when you move the cursor to any of the column items.
8. You can specify advanced filter settings based on the variables in the column. (e.g., set price range of stock to filter out further) To do so, click on the column variable name in interest, located above the screener table (or right below "scan") and select "manual setup".
How to read the column:
Current Price: Shows current price of the ticker when scan was done. Currently Pine Screener does NOT support pre/post-hours data so no PM and AH price.
Psych Level: Psych level the current price is near to.
% to Psych Level: Price movement in % necessary to get to the Psych level.
$ to Psych Level: Price movement in $ necessary to get to the Psych level.
DTR: Daily True Range of the stock. i.e. High - Low of the ticker on the day.
ATR: Average True Range of stock in the last x days, where x is a value selected in the setting. (See step 3 in Previous section)
DTR vs ATR: Amount of DTR a ticker has done in % with respect to ATR. (e.g., 90% means DTR is 90% of ATR)
Vol.: Volume of a ticker for the day. Currently Pine Screener does NOT support pre/post-hours data so no PM and AH volume.
Avg. Vol: Average volume of a ticker in the last x days, where x is a value selected in the setting. (See step 3 in Previous section)
Rvol: Relative volume in percentage, measured by the ratio of day's volume and average volume.
30min/1hr/4hr/1D Trend: Trend status to see if the chart is Bullish or Bearish on each of the time frame. Bullishness or Bearishness is defined by the price being over or under the 34/50 cloud on each of the time frame. Output of 1 is Bullish, -1 is Bearish. 0 means price is sitting inside the 34/50 cloud. Currently Pine Screener does NOT support pre/post-hours data so 34/50 cloud is based on regular trading hours data ONLY.
Some things user should be aware of:
- Pine Screener itself is currently only available to TradingView members with Premium Subscription and above. (I can't to anything about this as this is NOT set by me, I have no control) For more info: www.tradingview.com
- The Pine Screener itself is a Beta version and this screener can stop working anytime depending on changes made by TradingView themselves. (Again I cannot control this)
- Pine Screener can only run on Watchlists for now. (as of 03/31/2025) You will have to prepare your own watchlists. In a Watchlist no more than 1000 tickers may be added. (This is TradingView rules)
- Psych level included are currently 50 to 1500 in steps of 50. If you need a specific number please let me know. Will add accordingly.
- Unfortunately this screener does not update automatically, so please hit "scan" to get latest screener result.
- I cannot add 10min trend to the column as Pine Screener does NOT support 10min timeframe as of now. (03/31/2025)
- This code is only meant for Pine Screener. I do NOT recommend using this as an indicator.
- Currently Pine Screener does NOT support pre/post-hours data. So data such as Price, Volume and EMA values are based on market hours data ONLY! (If I'm wrong about this please correct me / let me know and will make look into and make changes to the code)

Trapped Traders Order BlocksHow It Works
The Trapped Traders Order Blocks indicator identifies specific price action patterns that suggest large market participants ("big money") have been trapped in losing positions after significant price sweeps, creating potential opportunities for reversals. The indicator detects both "bullish trap blocks" (where bearish traders are trapped) and "bearish trap blocks" (where bullish traders are trapped). Here’s the step-by-step process for each:
Bullish Trap Block (Bears Trapped):
A bearish candle (Candle A) must sweep the high of the previous candle (Candle B), meaning its high exceeds the high of the prior candle.
This bearish candle must have a longer upper wick than its lower wick, indicating rejection of higher prices.
The candle must not be a doji (i.e., it must have a significant body, defined as the body being at least 10% of the candle's range).
The next candle (Candle C) must close above the body of the bearish candle (Candle A), suggesting that price has immediately moved against the bearish sweep, potentially trapping bearish traders who entered short positions expecting a downward move.
The body of the bearish candle (Candle A) is marked as a "bullish trap block." A box is drawn around this candle's body, and a label ("Bullish Trap") is placed below it.
Bearish Trap Block (Bulls Trapped):
A bullish candle (Candle A) must sweep the low of the previous candle (Candle B), meaning its low is below the low of the prior candle.
This bullish candle must have a longer lower wick than its upper wick, indicating rejection of lower prices.
The candle must not be a doji.
The next candle (Candle C) must close below the body of the bullish candle (Candle A), suggesting that price has immediately moved against the bullish sweep, potentially trapping bullish traders who entered long positions expecting an upward move.
The body of the bullish candle (Candle A) is marked as a "bearish trap block." A box is drawn around this candle's body, and a label ("Bearish Trap") is placed above it.
Dynamic Box Extension:
For both bullish and bearish trap blocks, the box extends dynamically to the current bar unless it exceeds a user-defined age (default is 52 bars), at which point it stops at the maximum age.
Sweep Detection:
Bullish Sweep (of any trap block, bullish or bearish):
The current candle's open is above the top of the box.
The low is below the top of the box.
The close is above the top of the box.
The lower wick is longer than the upper wick (indicating rejection of lower prices).
The close is above 50% of the candle's range (ensuring a strong bullish bias).
When a bullish sweep occurs, a label ("Bullish Sweep") is placed at the low of the candle, pointing upward, and an alert is triggered.
Bearish Sweep (of any trap block, bullish or bearish):
The current candle's open is below the bottom of the box.
The high is above the bottom of the box.
The close is below the bottom of the box.
The upper wick is longer than the lower wick (indicating rejection of higher prices).
The close is below 50% of the candle's range (ensuring a strong bearish bias).
When a bearish sweep occurs, a label ("Bearish Sweep") is placed at the high of the candle, pointing downward, and an alert is triggered.
When to Be Used
The Trapped Traders Order Blocks indicator is best used in the following scenarios:
Reversal Trading:
Use this indicator to identify potential reversal points in the market. Bullish trap blocks suggest that trapped bears may unwind their short positions, leading to a potential bullish move. Bearish trap blocks suggest that trapped bulls may unwind their long positions, leading to a potential bearish move.
Look for sweeps of these blocks as confirmation of a directional move. A bullish sweep indicates a potential upward move, while a bearish sweep indicates a potential downward move.
Range-Bound Markets:
In sideways or ranging markets, trapped blocks can highlight key levels where large players have been caught off-guard. These levels often act as support or resistance, and a sweep of the block can signal a breakout or continuation in the direction of the sweep.
Confluence with Other Indicators:
Combine the trapped blocks with other technical analysis tools, such as support/resistance levels, Fibonacci retracements, or volume analysis, to increase the probability of a successful trade. For example, a bullish trap block near a strong support level with a bullish sweep can provide a high-probability setup for a long position, while a bearish trap block near a strong resistance level with a bearish sweep can signal a short opportunity.
Timeframes:
The indicator is most effective on higher timeframes such as 1-day (1D), 1-week (1W), and 1-month (1M) charts. These timeframes are more likely to capture significant moves involving large market participants, reducing noise and false signals compared to lower timeframes. While it can be used on lower timeframes (e.g., 1-hour or 4-hour), the signals may be less reliable due to increased market noise.
Logic Behind It
The logic behind the Trapped Traders Order Blocks indicator is rooted in market psychology and the behavior of large market participants ("big money"). When a large sweep candle occurs where price spikes in one direction but then quickly reverses it often indicates that traders have entered positions in the direction of the sweep, expecting a continuation. However, if the price immediately moves against them, these traders are now trapped in losing positions.
Bullish Trap Block (Bears Trapped):
A large bearish sweep candle (spiking upward but closing lower) suggests that bearish traders (bears) have entered short positions at the top of the move, expecting a downward continuation. If the next candle closes above the bearish candle's body, these bears are trapped in losing positions.
The body of the bearish candle becomes a "bullish trap block" because the trapped bears are likely to have placed their stop-loss orders or break-even exit orders just above the high of the sweep candle or within the body of the candle. As price revisits this level in the future, these trapped traders may attempt to unwind their positions by buying back their shorts, which can drive the price higher. This unwinding process often attracts new buyers, leading to a potential bullish reversal or continuation.
The bullish sweep conditions (e.g., close > box top, longer lower wick, and close above 50% of the range) ensure that the price action at the block level shows strong bullish momentum and rejection of lower prices, confirming the potential for a move higher.
Bearish Trap Block (Bulls Trapped):
A large bullish sweep candle (spiking downward but closing higher) suggests that bullish traders (bulls) have entered long positions at the bottom of the move, expecting an upward continuation. If the next candle closes below the bullish candle's body, these bulls are trapped in losing positions.
The body of the bullish candle becomes a "bearish trap block" because the trapped bulls are likely to have placed their stop-loss orders or break-even exit orders just below the low of the sweep candle or within the body of the candle. As price revisits this level in the future, these trapped traders may attempt to unwind their positions by selling their longs, which can drive the price lower. This unwinding process often attracts new sellers, leading to a potential bearish reversal or continuation.
The bearish sweep conditions (e.g., close < box bottom, longer upper wick, and close below 50% of the range) ensure that the price action at the block level shows strong bearish momentum and rejection of higher prices, confirming the potential for a move lower.
Summary
Bullish Trap Block: Occurs when bears get trapped after a bearish sweep candle is immediately followed by a bullish candle, indicating a potential reversal as trapped bears may unwind their positions.
Bearish Trap Block: Occurs when bulls get trapped after a bullish sweep candle is immediately followed by a bearish candle, indicating a potential bearish reversal.
Use Case: Ideal for identifying reversal opportunities, especially in range-bound markets or at key support/resistance levels on higher timeframes like 1D, 1W, and 1M, and can be combined with other indicators for confluence.
Logic: Large sweep candles followed by an immediate reversal suggest that big money has been trapped, and these traders may unwind their positions at break-even in the near future, driving price in the opposite direction of their initial trade.
This indicator provides a visual and actionable way to identify these trapped trader scenarios, with customizable settings for box display, sweep visuals, and alerts to help traders capitalize on these opportunities, particularly on higher timeframes where the signals are most reliable.

Enhanced Order Flow Pressure GaugeShort Description:
Estimates bullish/bearish pressure by analyzing each candle’s close position within its range, then weighting that by volume. Detects potential trend shifts and provides real-time signals.
Full Description:
1. Purpose
The Enhanced Order Flow Pressure Gauge (OFPG+) is designed to approximate buy vs. sell pressure within each bar, even if you don’t have full Level II / order flow data. By measuring the candle’s close relative to its high-low range and multiplying by volume, OFPG+ provides insights into which side of the market (bulls or bears) is more aggressive in a given interval.
2. Key Components
Pressure Score (Histogram):
Raw measure of each bar’s close position (rangePos) minus midpoint, multiplied by volume. If the bar closes near its high with decent volume, the score is positive (bullish). Conversely, a close near its low yields a negative (bearish) reading.
Cumulative Pressure:
Sum of all pressure readings over time (similar to cumulative delta), reflecting the overall market bias.
Pressure Delta:
The change in cumulative pressure from one bar to the next, plotted as a line. Rising values suggest increasing bullish momentum, while falling values show growing bearish influence.
3. Visual Cues & Signals
Histogram (Pressure Profile): A color-coded bar for each candle, indicating net bullish (blue) or bearish (gray) intrabar pressure.
Pressure Delta Line: Plotted over the histogram. Turns bullish (blue) when net buy pressure is increasing, or bearish (gray) when net selling accelerates.
Background Highlights:
Turns lightly blue if the smoothed pressure line exceeds the positive threshold, or lightly gray if it goes below the negative threshold.
Bullish / Bearish Signals:
Bullish Signal occurs when the smoothed pressure line crosses above the positive threshold, combined with a positive Delta.
Bearish Signal occurs when the smoothed pressure line crosses below the negative threshold, combined with a negative Delta.
Confirmed Signals:
After a bullish/bearish signal, OFPG+ checks the highest or lowest smoothed pressure values over a user-defined number of bars (signalLookback) to confirm momentum.
Plotshapes (diamond icons) appear on the chart to mark these confirmed reversals.
4. Usage Scenarios
Trend-Following / Momentum: Watch for transitions from negative to positive net pressure or vice versa. Helps identify potential turning points.
Reversal Confirmation: The threshold-based signals plus the “confirmed” checks can help filter choppy conditions.
Volume-Weighted Insights: By factoring in volume, strong closes near the highs or lows are weighted more heavily, capturing sentiment shifts.
5. Inputs & Parameters
Smoothing Length (length): The EMA period for smoothing the raw pressure score.
Volume Weight (volWeight): Scales the volume impact on pressure calculations.
Pressure Threshold (threshold): Defines when pressure is considered significantly bullish or bearish.
Signal Lookback (signalLookback): Number of bars to confirm momentum after a signal.
6. Alerts
Bullish Signal & Confirmed Bullish
Bearish Signal & Confirmed Bearish
These alerts can notify you in real-time about potential shifts in the market’s buying or selling pressure.

Marubozu and Strong Candle DetectorMarubozu and Strong Candle Detector - Indicator Description
This TradingView Pine Script indicator identifies powerful price action signals by detecting two key candle types that can signal strong market momentum:
What It Detects
1. Marubozu Candles: These are candles with little to no wicks, where the body makes up almost the entire candle. Marubozu means "bald head" or "shaved head" in Japanese, referring to the absence of shadows (wicks).
o Bullish Marubozu: A green/up candle with minimal wicks, showing buyers controlled the entire session
o Bearish Marubozu: A red/down candle with minimal wicks, showing sellers dominated the session
2. Strong Candles: These are candles that are significantly larger than the recent average, suggesting exceptional momentum.
o Strong Bullish: Large green/up candles showing powerful buying pressure
o Strong Bearish: Large red/down candles showing powerful selling pressure
Trading Significance
• Bullish Marubozu/Strong Bullish Candles: Often signal the beginning of bullish trends or strong continuation of existing uptrends. These can be excellent entry points for long positions.
• Bearish Marubozu/Strong Bearish Candles: Often indicate the start of bearish trends or powerful continuation of existing downtrends. These can be good entry points for short positions or exit points for long positions.
Key Features
• Customizable Parameters: Adjust sensitivity for body ratio threshold and size comparison
• Visual Indicators: Easy-to-spot markers appear on your charts
• Information Display: Shows key metrics about the current candle
• Alert System: Set notifications for when significant candles form
How To Use This Indicator
1. For Entry Signals:
o Look for bullish Marubozu/strong bullish candles at support levels or after pullbacks
o Look for bearish Marubozu/strong bearish candles at resistance levels or after rallies
2. For Exit Signals:
o Consider taking profits on long positions when bearish Marubozu/strong bearish candles appear
o Consider taking profits on short positions when bullish Marubozu/strong bullish candles appear
3. For Trend Confirmation:
o Multiple signals in the same direction strengthen the case for a trend
This indicator works best on larger timeframes (1H, 4H, Daily) where candle formations have more significance, but can be applied to any timeframe based on your trading style.

Tri-Fold BB(Trend-Strength)*indicator isn't preset to look as displayed, do so accordingly*
"Tri-Fold BB" is an indicator that utilizes three Bollinger Bands, each of different length as a way to represent trend strength. This allows one to see the trend strength relative to multiple timeframes: short, mid, and long term trend strength. This is helpful because it provides the user with a holistic view of the asset.
How it Works
The indicator is preset to utilizing three different Bollinger Bands with length: 20, 50, and 100. This indicator simply plots the price of an asset relative to its specified Bollinger Band. For an example, if the price of the asset were to surpass its 20BB standard deviations, it would display so accordingly, though from the perspective of lets say... the 100, it may have looked like it barely moved up a standard deviation relative to 100BB because the standard deviations of a 100BB are more spread out.
Its important to view the trend strength from multiple lengths because it allows one to gauge whether the short term trend strength is likely to hold or not. A better way to speculate on asset behavior.
Another way to view this indicator is similar to that of the BB% indicator, except this indicator allows us to view price relative to standard deviations, across multiple timeframes. More holistic, more utility provided.
Basic Understanding:
Each line = Standard Deviation (3 upper, 3 lower)
Mid-Line = Basis relative to BB(20sma, 50sma, 100sma)
If price goes under Basis, that means it crossed below their specified sma(significant bull or bear signal)
I've also added HMA's relative to each BB incase one were to decide in creating some sort of trading strategy with it. I personally don't use them but I understand that it could be helpful to some so I left it in there. If you don't like them then simply deselect them and then save your desired setup as default.
In regard to regular indications of bullish or bearishness, i'd like to add that I use this indicator for the sole purpose of providing an idea of trend strength. I personally am unsure to state that cross overs directly indicate that there is a bull or bear move because I've seen instances where the price of an asset went in a direction contrary to what it 'should' have if we were to use that cross over strategy. Though of course, feel free to use this indicator as desired.
Uptrick: FRAMA Matrix RSIUptrick: FRAMA Matrix RSI
Introduction
The Uptrick: FRAMA Matrix RSI is a momentum-based indicator that integrates the Relative Strength Index (RSI) with the Fractal Adaptive Moving Average (FRAMA). By applying FRAMA's adaptive smoothing to RSI—and further refining it with a Zero-Lag Moving Average (ZLMA)—this script creates a refined and reliable momentum oscillator. The indicator now includes enhanced divergence detection, potential reversal signals, customizable buy/sell signal options, an internal stats table, and a fully customizable bar coloring system for an enhanced visual trading experience.
Why Combine RSI with FRAMA
Traditional RSI is a well-known momentum indicator but has several limitations. It is highly sensitive to price fluctuations, often generating false signals in choppy or volatile markets. FRAMA, in contrast, adapts dynamically to price changes by adjusting its smoothing factor based on market conditions.
By integrating FRAMA into RSI calculations, this indicator reduces noise while preserving RSI's ability to track momentum, adapts to volatility by reducing lag in trending markets and smoothing out choppiness in ranging conditions, enhances trend-following capability for more reliable momentum shifts, and refines overbought and oversold signals by adjusting to the current market structure.
With the new enhancements, such as a manual alpha input, noise filtering, divergence detection, and multiple buy/sell signal options, the indicator offers even greater flexibility and precision for traders. This combination improves the standard RSI by making it more adaptive and responsive to market changes.
Originality
This indicator is unique because it applies FRAMA's adaptive smoothing technique to RSI, creating a dynamic momentum oscillator that adjusts to different market conditions. Many traditional RSI-based indicators either use fixed smoothing methods like exponential moving averages or employ basic RSI calculations without adjusting for volatility.
This script stands out by integrating several elements, including the fractal dimension-based smoothing of FRAMA to reduce noise while retaining responsiveness, the use of Zero-Lag Moving Average smoothing to enhance trend sensitivity and reduce lag, divergence detection to highlight mismatches between price action and RSI momentum, a noise filter and manual alpha option to prevent minor fluctuations from generating false signals, customizable buy/sell signal options that let traders choose between ZLMA-based or FRAMA RSI-based signals, an internal stats table displaying real-time FRAMA calculations such as fractal dimension and the adaptive alpha factor, and a fully customizable bar coloring system to visually distinguish bullish, bearish, and neutral conditions.
Features
Adaptive FRAMA RSI
The indicator applies FRAMA to RSI values, making the momentum oscillator adaptive to volatility while filtering out noise. Unlike a traditional RSI that reacts equally to all price movements, FRAMA RSI adjusts its smoothing factor based on market structure, making it more effective for identifying true momentum shifts.
Zero-Lag Moving Average (ZLMA)
A smoothing technique that minimizes lag while preserving the responsiveness of price movements. It is applied to the FRAMA RSI to further refine signals and ensure smoother trend detection.
Bullish and Bearish Threshold Crossovers
This system compares FRAMA RSI to a user-defined threshold (default is 50). When FRAMA RSI moves above the threshold, it indicates bullish momentum, while movement below signals bearish conditions. The enhanced noise filter ensures that only significant moves trigger signals.
Noise Filter and Manual Alpha
A new noise filter input prevents tiny fluctuations from triggering false signals. In addition, a manual alpha option allows traders to override the automatically computed smoothing factor with a custom value, providing extra control over the indicator’s sensitivity.
Divergence Detection
The indicator identifies divergence patterns by comparing FRAMA RSI pivots to price action. Bullish divergence occurs when price makes a lower low while FRAMA RSI makes a higher low, and bearish divergence occurs when price makes a higher high while FRAMA RSI makes a lower high. These signals can help traders anticipate potential reversals.
Reversal Signals
Labels appear on the chart when FRAMA RSI confirms classic RSI overbought (70) or oversold (30) conditions, providing visual cues for potential trend reversals.
Buy and Sell Signal Options
Traders can now choose between two signal-generation methods. ZLMA-based signals trigger when the ZLMA of FRAMA RSI crosses key overbought (70) or oversold (30) levels, while FRAMA RSI-based signals trigger when FRAMA RSI itself crosses these levels. This added flexibility allows users to tailor the indicator to their preferred trading style.
ZLMA:
FRAMA:
Customizable Alerts
Alerts notify traders when FRAMA RSI crosses key levels, divergence signals occur, reversal conditions are met, or buy/sell signals trigger. This ensures that important trading events are not missed.
Fully Customizable Bar Coloring System
Users can color bars based on different conditions, enhancing visual clarity. Bar coloring modes include: FRAMA RSI threshold (bars change color based on whether FRAMA RSI is above or below the threshold), ZLMA crossover (bars change when ZLMA crosses overbought or oversold levels), buy/sell signals (bars change when official signals trigger), divergence (bars highlight when bullish or bearish divergence is detected), and reversals (bars indicate when RSI reaches overbought or oversold conditions confirmed by FRAMA RSI). The system also remembers the last applied bar color, ensuring a smooth visual transition.
Input Parameters and Features
Core Inputs
RSI Length (default: 14) defines the period for RSI calculations.
FRAMA Lookback (default: 16) determines the length for the FRAMA smoothing function.
RSI Bull Threshold (default: 50) sets the level above which the market is considered bullish and below which it is bearish.
Noise Filter (default: 1.0) ensures that small fluctuations do not trigger false bullish or bearish signals.
Additional Features
Show Bull and Bear Alerts (default: true) enables notifications when FRAMA RSI crosses the threshold.
Enable Divergence Detection (default: false) highlights bullish and bearish divergences based on price and FRAMA RSI pivots.
Show Potential Reversal Signals (default: false) identifies overbought (70) and oversold (30) levels as possible trend reversal points.
Buy and Sell Signal Option (default: ZLMA) allows traders to choose between ZLMA-based signals or FRAMA RSI-based signals for trade entry.
ZLMA Enhancements
ZLMA Length (default: 14) determines the period for the Zero-Lag Moving Average applied to FRAMA RSI.
Visualization Options
Show Internal Stats Table (default: false) displays real-time FRAMA calculations, including fractal dimension and the adaptive alpha smoothing factor.
Show Threshold FRAMA Signals (default: false) plots buy and sell labels when FRAMA RSI crosses the threshold level.
How It Works
FRAMA Calculation
FRAMA dynamically adjusts smoothing based on the price fractal dimension. The alpha smoothing factor is derived from the fractal dimension or can be set manually to maintain responsiveness.
RSI with FRAMA Smoothing
RSI is calculated using the user-defined lookback period. FRAMA is then applied to the RSI to make it more adaptive to volatility. Optionally, ZLMA is applied to further refine the signals and reduce lag.
Bullish and Bearish Threshold Crosses
A bullish condition occurs when FRAMA RSI crosses above the threshold, while a bearish condition occurs when it falls below. The noise filter ensures that only significant trend shifts generate signals.
Buy and Sell Signal Options
Traders can choose between ZLMA crossovers or FRAMA RSI crossovers as the basis for buy and sell signals, offering flexibility in trade entry timing.
Divergence Detection
The indicator identifies divergences where price action and FRAMA RSI momentum do not align, potentially signaling upcoming reversals.
Reversal Signal Labels
When classic RSI overbought or oversold levels are confirmed by FRAMA RSI conditions, reversal labels are added on the chart to highlight potential exhaustion points.
Bar Coloring System
Bars are dynamically colored based on various conditions such as RSI thresholds, ZLMA crossovers, buy/sell signals, divergence, and reversals, allowing traders to quickly interpret market sentiment.
Alerts and Internal Stats
Customizable alerts notify traders of key events, and an optional internal stats table displays real-time calculations (fractal dimension, alpha value, and RSI values) to help users understand the underlying dynamics of the indicator.
Summary
The Uptrick: FRAMA Matrix RSI offers an enhanced approach to momentum analysis by combining RSI with adaptive FRAMA smoothing and additional layers of signal refinement. The indicator now includes adaptive RSI smoothing to reduce noise and improve responsiveness, Zero-Lag Moving Average filtering to minimize lag, divergence and reversal detection to identify potential turning points, customizable buy/sell signal options that let traders choose between different signal methodologies, a fully customizable bar coloring system to visually distinguish market conditions, and an internal stats table for real-time insight into FRAMA calculation parameters.
Whether used for trend confirmation, divergence detection, or momentum-based strategies, this indicator provides a powerful and adaptive approach to trading.

Multi-Timeframe Stochastic OverviewPurpose of the Multi-Timeframe Stochastic Indicator:
The Multi-Timeframe Stochastic Indicator provides a consolidated view of market conditions across multiple timeframes (M1, M5, M15, H1) based on the Stochastic Oscillator, a popular technical analysis tool. The main objective is to allow traders to quickly assess momentum and potential trend reversals across different timeframes on a single chart, helping to make informed trading decisions.
---
General Purpose of Stochastic Oscillator:
The Stochastic Oscillator measures the relationship between a security's closing price and its price range over a given period, aiming to identify momentum, overbought/oversold levels, and potential reversal points. It works on the assumption that:
1. In uptrends, prices tend to close near their highs.
2. In downtrends, prices tend to close near their lows.
It consists of two lines:
%K (fast line): Represents the raw Stochastic value.
%D (slow line): A moving average of %K, used to smooth the data for better signals.
The indicator is generally used to:
Identify Overbought (price above 80% threshold) and Oversold (price below 20% threshold) conditions.
Spot Bullish and Bearish divergences for potential trend reversals.
Evaluate momentum strength within a trend.
---
How This Multi-Timeframe Indicator Enhances Stochastic's Utility:
1. Multi-Timeframe Overview:
The indicator calculates Stochastic values for multiple timeframes (1-minute, 5-minute, 15-minute, and 1-hour) and displays their market conditions (e.g., Bullish, Bearish, Overbought, Oversold, or Indecision) in an organized table format.
This gives traders a broad perspective on short-term, mid-term, and long-term trends simultaneously.
2. Market Condition Summary:
Bullish: Indicates upward momentum (both %K and %D > 50%).
Bearish: Indicates downward momentum (both %K and %D < 50%).
Overbought: Suggests potential trend exhaustion (both %K and %D > 80%).
Oversold: Suggests a potential reversal to the upside (both %K and %D < 20%).
Indecision: Highlights uncertainty when %K and %D are on opposite sides of the 50% level.
3. Quick Decision-Making:
The color-coded table (green for Bullish/Overbought, red for Bearish/Oversold, orange for Indecision) allows traders to quickly identify dominant conditions and momentum alignment across timeframes, helping in trade confirmation.
4. Trend Analysis:
By observing alignment or divergence in market conditions across timeframes, traders can gauge the strength of a trend or anticipate reversals. For example:
If all timeframes show "Bullish," it suggests strong momentum.
If smaller timeframes are "Overbought" while larger ones are "Bearish," it warns of a possible pullback.
5. Customizable Parameters:
The indicator allows customization of Stochastic K, D, smoothing values, and overbought/oversold levels, enabling users to tailor the analysis to specific trading styles or market conditions.
---
Use Cases:
1. Scalping:
A scalper can use lower timeframes (e.g., M1, M5) to find overbought/oversold zones for quick trades.
2. Swing Trading:
Swing traders can align smaller timeframes with higher ones (e.g., M15 and H1) to confirm momentum before entering a trade.
3. Trend Reversals:
Overbought or oversold conditions across all timeframes may indicate a major reversal point, helping traders plan exits or countertrend entries.
4. Trend Continuation:
Consistent bullish or bearish conditions across all timeframes confirm the continuation of a trend, providing confidence to hold positions.
---
Summary:
This indicator enhances the traditional Stochastic Oscillator by giving a multi-timeframe snapshot of market momentum, overbought/oversold conditions, and trend direction. It enables traders to quickly assess the overall market state, spot opportunities, and make more informed trading decisions.
Codi's Perp-Spot Basis# Perp-Spot Basis Indicator
This indicator calculates the percentage basis between perpetual futures and spot prices for crypto assets. It is inspired by the original concept from **Krugermacro**, with the added improvement of **automatic detection of the asset pairs** based on the current chart symbol. This enhancement makes it faster and easier to apply across different assets without manual configuration.
## How It Works
The indicator compares the perpetual futures price (e.g., `BTCUSDT.P`) to the spot price (e.g., `BTCUSDT`) on Binance. The difference is expressed as a percentage: (Perp - Spot) / Spot * 100
The results are displayed in a color-coded graph:
- **Blue (Positive Basis):** Perpetual futures are trading at a premium, indicating **bullish sentiment** among derivatives traders.
- **Red (Negative Basis):** Perpetual futures are trading at a discount, indicating **bearish sentiment** among derivatives traders.
This percentage basis is a core component in understanding funding rates and derivatives market dynamics. It serves as a faster proxy for funding rates, which typically lag behind real-time price movements.
---
## How to Use It
### General Concept
- **Red (Negative Basis):** Ideal to execute **longs** when derivatives traders are overly bearish.
- **Blue (Positive Basis):** Ideal to execute **shorts** when derivatives traders are overly bullish.
### Pullback Sniping
1. During an **uptrend**:
- If the basis turns **red** temporarily, it can signal an opportunity to **buy the dip**.
2. During a **downtrend**:
- If the basis turns **blue** temporarily, it can signal an opportunity to **sell the rip**.
3. Wait for the basis to **pop back** (higher in uptrend, lower in downtrend) to time entries more effectively—this often coincides with **stop runs** or **liquidations**.
### Intraday Execution
- **When price is falling**:
- If the basis is **red**, the move is derivatives-led (**normal**).
- If the basis is **blue**, spot traders are leading, and perps are offside—wait for **price dumps** before longing.
- **When price is rising**:
- If the basis is **blue**, the move is derivatives-led (**normal**).
- If the basis is **red**, spot traders are leading, and perps are offside—wait for **price pops** before shorting.
### Larger Time Frames
- **Consistently Blue Basis:** Indicates a **bull market** as derivatives traders are bullish over the long term.
- **Consistently Red Basis:** Indicates a **bear market** as derivatives traders are bearish over the long term.

## Improvements Over the Original
This version of the Perp-Spot Basis indicator **automatically detects the Binance perpetual futures and spot pairs** based on the current chart symbol. For example:
- If you are viewing `ETHUSDT`, it automatically references `ETHUSDT.P` for the perpetual futures pair and `ETHUSDT` for the spot pair in BINANCE.
Green/Red Candle Probability (EMA 7, SMA 20, SMA 200)### Strategy Explanation for Candle Probability Indicator
This script is designed to calculate the **probability of bullish (green) and bearish (red) candles** over a given analysis period. It leverages three key moving averages to identify market trends and display these probabilities directly on the chart, making it easier for traders to make informed decisions.
#### **How the Script Works:**
1. **Trend Detection Using Moving Averages:**
- The script calculates three moving averages:
- **EMA (Exponential Moving Average) over 7 periods**
- **SMA (Simple Moving Average) over 20 periods**
- **SMA over 200 periods**
The trend is classified as:
- **Bullish:** When EMA 7 > SMA 20 > SMA 200
- **Bearish:** When EMA 7 < SMA 20 < SMA 200
2. **Candle Analysis:**
The script analyzes the last "n" candles (based on the user-defined lookback period) to count the number of bullish and bearish candles:
- **Bullish (green) candle:** The closing price is higher than the opening price.
- **Bearish (red) candle:** The closing price is lower than the opening price.
3. **Probability Calculation:**
The probabilities are calculated as a percentage of bullish and bearish candles in the lookback period:
- **Green Probability (%) = (Number of Green Candles / Lookback Period) × 100**
- **Red Probability (%) = (Number of Red Candles / Lookback Period) × 100**
4. **Displaying Results in a Table:**
The results are displayed in a table on the chart, including:
- **Green Probability (%)**
- **Red Probability (%)**
- **Current Trend (Bullish, Bearish, or Neutral)**
#### **Strategy Overview:**
This indicator provides traders with a quick overview of the candle probabilities and the current market trend based on moving averages. It helps traders:
- Gauge the likelihood of bullish or bearish candles appearing in the near future.
- Identify the prevailing trend (bullish, bearish, or neutral).
- Adjust their trading strategies based on statistical probabilities rather than assumptions.
### **Important Notes:**
- The lookback period can be customized between **10 and 200 periods**.
- The indicator does not provide buy/sell signals but gives insights into market behavior.
By understanding the candle probabilities and the trend, traders can better assess market conditions and improve their decision-making process.
BullBear with Volume-Percentile TP - Strategy [presentTrading] Happy New Year, everyone! I hope we have a fantastic year ahead.
It's been a while since I published an open script, but it's time to return.
This strategy introduces an indicator called Bull Bear Power, combined with an advanced take-profit system, which is the main innovative and educational aspect of this script. I hope all of you find some useful insights here. Welcome to engage in meaningful exchanges. This is a versatile tool suitable for both novice and experienced traders.
█ Introduction and How it is Different
Unlike traditional strategies that rely solely on price or volume indicators, this approach combines Bull Bear Power (BBP) with volume percentile analysis to identify optimal entry and exit points. It features a dynamic take-profit mechanism based on ATR (Average True Range) multipliers adjusted by volume and percentile factors, ensuring adaptability to diverse market conditions. This multifaceted strategy not only improves signal accuracy but also optimizes risk management, distinguishing it from conventional trading methods.

█ Strategy, How it Works: Detailed Explanation
The BBP Strategy with Volume-Percentile TP utilizes several interconnected components to analyze market data and generate trading signals. Here's an overview with essential equations:
🔶 Core Indicators and Calculations
1. Exponential Moving Average (EMA):
- **Purpose:** Smoothens price data to identify trends.
- **Formula:**
EMA_t = (Close_t * (2 / (lengthInput + 1))) + (EMA_(t-1) * (1 - (2 / (lengthInput + 1))))
- Usage: Baseline for Bull and Bear Power.
2. Bull and Bear Power:
- Bull Power: `BullPower = High_t - EMA_t`
- Bear Power: `BearPower = Low_t - EMA_t`
- BBP:** `BBP = BullPower + BearPower`
- Interpretation: Positive BBP indicates bullish strength, negative indicates bearish.
3. Z-Score Calculation:
- Purpose: Normalizes BBP to assess deviation from the mean.
- Formula:
Z-Score = (BBP_t - bbp_mean) / bbp_std
- Components:
- `bbp_mean` = SMA of BBP over `zLength` periods.
- `bbp_std` = Standard deviation of BBP over `zLength` periods.
- Usage: Identifies overbought or oversold conditions based on thresholds.
🔶 Volume Analysis
1. Volume Moving Average (`vol_sma`):
vol_sma = (Volume_1 + Volume_2 + ... + Volume_vol_period) / vol_period
2. Volume Multiplier (`vol_mult`):
vol_mult = Current Volume / vol_sma
- Thresholds:
- High Volume: `vol_mult > 2.0`
- Medium Volume: `1.5 < vol_mult ≤ 2.0`
- Low Volume: `1.0 < vol_mult ≤ 1.5`
🔶 Percentile Analysis
1. Percentile Calculation (`calcPercentile`):
Percentile = (Number of values ≤ Current Value / perc_period) * 100
2. Thresholds:
- High Percentile: >90%
- Medium Percentile: >80%
- Low Percentile: >70%
🔶 Dynamic Take-Profit Mechanism
1. ATR-Based Targets:
TP1 Price = Entry Price ± (ATR * atrMult1 * TP_Factor)
TP2 Price = Entry Price ± (ATR * atrMult2 * TP_Factor)
TP3 Price = Entry Price ± (ATR * atrMult3 * TP_Factor)
- ATR Calculation:
ATR_t = (True Range_1 + True Range_2 + ... + True Range_baseAtrLength) / baseAtrLength
2. Adjustment Factors:
TP_Factor = (vol_score + price_score) / 2
- **vol_score** and **price_score** are based on current volume and price percentiles.
Local performance
🔶 Entry and Exit Logic
1. Long Entry: If Z-Score crosses above 1.618, then Enter Long.
2. Short Entry: If Z-Score crosses below -1.618, then Enter Short.
3. Exiting Positions:
If Long and Z-Score crosses below 0:
Exit Long
If Short and Z-Score crosses above 0:
Exit Short
4. Take-Profit Execution:
- Set multiple exit orders at dynamically calculated TP levels based on ATR and adjusted by `TP_Factor`.
█ Trade Direction
The strategy determines trade direction using the Z-Score from the BBP indicator:
- Long Positions:
- Condition: Z-Score crosses above 1.618.
- Short Positions:
- Condition: Z-Score crosses below -1.618.
- Exiting Trades:
- Long Exit: Z-Score drops below 0.
- Short Exit: Z-Score rises above 0.
This approach aligns trades with prevailing market trends, increasing the likelihood of successful outcomes.

Its dynamic take-profit mechanism, tailored through ATR adjustments, ensures that traders can effectively capture profits while managing risks in varying market conditions.
Multi SMA EMA VWAP1. Moving Average Crossover
This is one of the most common strategies with moving averages, and it involves observing crossovers between EMAs and SMAs to determine buy or sell signals.
Buy signal: When a faster EMA (like a short-term EMA) crosses above a slower SMA, it can indicate a potential upward movement.
Sell signal: When a faster EMA crosses below a slower SMA, it can indicate a potential downward movement.
With 4 EMAs and 5 SMAs, you can set up crossovers between different combinations, such as:
EMA(9) crosses above SMA(50) → buy.
EMA(9) crosses below SMA(50) → sell.
2. Divergence Confirmation Between EMAs and SMAs
Divergence between the EMAs and SMAs can offer additional confirmation. If the EMAs are pointing in one direction and the SMAs are still in the opposite direction, it is a sign that the movement could be stronger and continue in the same direction.
Positive divergence: If the EMAs are making new highs while the SMAs are still below, it could be a sign that the market is in a strong trend.
Negative divergence: If the EMAs are making new lows and the SMAs are still above, you might consider that the market is in a downtrend or correction.
3. Using EMAs as Dynamic Support and Resistance
EMAs can act as dynamic support and resistance in strong trends. If the price approaches a faster EMA from above and doesn’t break it, it could be a good entry point for a long position (buy). If the price approaches a slower EMA from below and doesn't break it, it could be a good point to sell (short).
Buy: If the price is above all EMAs and approaches the fastest EMA (e.g., EMA(9)), it could be a good buy point if the price bounces upward.
Sell: If the price is below all EMAs and approaches the fastest EMA, it could be a good sell point if the price bounces downward.
4. Combining SMAs and EMAs to Filter Signals
SMAs can serve as a trend filter to avoid trading in sideways markets. For example:
Bullish trend condition: If the longer-term SMAs (such as SMA(100) or SMA(200)) are below the price, and the shorter EMAs are aligned upward, you can look for buy signals.
Bearish trend condition: If the longer-term SMAs are above the price and the shorter EMAs are aligned downward, you can look for sell signals.
5. Consolidation Zone Between EMAs and SMAs
When the price moves between EMAs and SMAs without a clear trend (consolidation zone), you can expect a breakout. In this case, you can use the EMAs and SMAs to identify the direction of the breakout:
If the price is in a narrow range between the EMAs and SMAs and then breaks above the fastest EMA, it’s a sign that an upward trend may begin.
If the price breaks below the fastest EMA, it could indicate a potential downward trend.
6. "Golden Cross" and "Death Cross" Strategy
These are classic strategies based on crossovers between moving averages of different periods.
Golden Cross: Occurs when a faster EMA (e.g., EMA(50)) crosses above a slower SMA (e.g., SMA(200)), which suggests a potential bullish trend.
Death Cross: Occurs when a faster EMA crosses below a slower SMA, which suggests a potential bearish trend.
Additional Recommendations:
Combining with other indicators: You can combine EMA and SMA signals with other indicators like the RSI (Relative Strength Index) or MACD (Moving Average Convergence/Divergence) for confirmation and to avoid false signals.
Risk management: Always use stop-loss and take-profit orders to protect your capital. Moving averages are trend-following indicators but don’t guarantee that the price will move in the same direction.
Timeframe analysis: It’s recommended to use different timeframes to confirm the trend (e.g., use EMAs on hourly charts along with SMAs on daily charts).
VWAP
1. VWAP + EMAs for Trend Confirmation
VWAP can act as a trend filter, confirming the direction provided by the EMAs.
Buy Signal: If the price is above the VWAP and the EMAs are aligned in an uptrend (e.g., short-term EMAs are above longer-term EMAs), this indicates that the trend is bullish and you can look for buy opportunities.
Sell Signal: If the price is below the VWAP and the EMAs are aligned in a downtrend (e.g., short-term EMAs are below longer-term EMAs), this suggests a bearish trend and you can look for sell opportunities.
In this case, VWAP is used to confirm the overall trend. For example:
Bullish: Price above VWAP, EMAs aligned to the upside (e.g., EMA(9) > EMA(50) > EMA(200)), buy.
Bearish: Price below VWAP, EMAs aligned to the downside (e.g., EMA(9) < EMA(50) < EMA(200)), sell.
2. VWAP as Dynamic Support and Resistance
VWAP can act as a dynamic support or resistance level during the day. Combining this with EMAs and SMAs helps you refine your entry and exit points.
Support: If the price is above VWAP and starts pulling back to VWAP, it could act as support. If the price bounces off the VWAP and aligns with bullish EMAs (e.g., EMA(9) crossing above EMA(50)), you can consider entering a buy position.
Resistance: If the price is below VWAP and approaches VWAP from below, it can act as resistance. If the price fails to break through VWAP and aligns with bearish EMAs (e.g., EMA(9) crossing below EMA(50)), it could be a good signal for a sell.
Trend Strength/DirectionThis is a really good, though complex indicator, so I will add two different explanations so to appease both the laymen and those who take the time to read thoroughly.
Simple Explanation
This indicator utilizes 6HMA's to display their angles
The greater the angle ---> the stronger the trend
If more angles are positive, then trend is very strong
If more are negative, then very negative
Comprehensive Explanation
6 angles, each of a different time frame are used to represent direction and trend strength. Angles are used because they intrinsically represent momentum and speed. An angle of 45 represents a perfect balance between something that can cover the furthest distance without compensating for speed. 1 of the 6 angles is intended(though customizable) to represent the 5 hma's angle. This is because the 5hma is very good at representing very near term price action.
Angle Levels
Its important to understand what the angle levels mean for the underlying hma's. The 0 level represents a hma that is horizontal. This is important because this is the point at which it decides to be bullish or bearish. +/- 45, as noted before, represent bullishness/bearishness that represent strong trends without compensating for speed. A continuous increase/decrease and or a cross of these levels generally indicate significant change in sentiment, of which trades may be taken.
Strategy
You should weigh your decision by those angles that represent the longer time frame. If more angles represent a certain sentiment, it is obviously unwise to fight against that long term sentiment. The purpose of this indicator was to provide a proper representation of trend direction and strength, but also solve the problem of when you should 'dip' buy.
For an example: if all angles are increase or decreasing, then you may use the 5hma's angle to find the proper points at which you will enter a position.
***NOTE: I dont think the +/- 45 bands should indicate 'overbought' or 'oversold' zones that some might assume. Instead you should wait for a crossing of this zone.
Strength of Divergence Across Multiple Indicators (+CMF&VWMACD)Modified Version of Strength of Divergence Across Multiple Indicators by reees
Purpose:
This Pine Script indicator is designed to identify and evaluate the strength of bullish and bearish divergences across multiple technical indicators. Divergences occur when the price of an asset is moving in one direction while a technical indicator is moving in the opposite direction, potentially signaling a trend reversal.
Key Features:
1. Multiple Indicator Support: The script now analyzes divergences for the following indicators:
* RSI (Relative Strength Index)
* OBV (On-Balance Volume)
* MACD (Moving Average Convergence/Divergence)
* STOCH (Stochastic Oscillator)
* CCI (Commodity Channel Index)
* MFI (Money Flow Index)
* AO (Awesome Oscillator)
* CMF (Chaikin Money Flow) - Newly added
* VWMACD (Volume-Weighted MACD) - Newly added
2. Customizable Divergence Parameters:
* Bullish/Bearish: Enable or disable the detection of bullish and bearish divergences independently.
* Regular/Hidden: Detect both regular and hidden divergences (hidden divergences can indicate trend continuation).
* Broken Trendline Exclusion: Optionally ignore divergences where the trendline connecting price pivots is broken by an intermediate pivot.
* Pivot Lookback Periods: Adjust the number of bars used to identify valid pivot highs and lows for divergence calculations.
* Weighting: Assign different weights to regular vs. hidden divergences and to the relative change in price vs. the indicator.
3. Indicator-Specific Settings:
* Weight: Each indicator can be assigned a weight, influencing its contribution to the overall divergence strength calculation.
* Extreme Value: Define a threshold above which an indicator's divergence is considered "extreme," giving it a higher strength rating.
4. Divergence Strength Calculation:
* For each indicator, the script calculates a divergence "degree" based on the magnitude of the divergence and the user-defined weightings.
* The total divergence strength is the sum of the individual indicator divergence degrees.
* Strength is categorized as "Extreme," "Very strong," "Strong," "Moderate," "Weak," or "Very weak."
5. Visualization:
* Divergence Lines: The script draws lines on the chart connecting the price and indicator pivots that form a divergence (optional, with customizable transparency).
* Labels: Labels display the total divergence strength and a breakdown of each indicator's contribution. The size and visibility of labels are based on the strength.
6. Alerts:
* The script can generate alerts when the total divergence strength exceeds a user-defined threshold.
New Indicators (CMF and VWMACD):
* Chaikin Money Flow (CMF):
* Purpose: Measures the buying and selling pressure by analyzing the relationship between price, volume, and the accumulation/distribution line.
* Divergence: A bullish CMF divergence occurs when the price makes a lower low, but the CMF makes a higher low (suggesting increasing buying pressure). A bearish divergence is the opposite.
* Volume-Weighted MACD (VWMACD):
* Purpose: Similar to the standard MACD but uses volume-weighted moving averages instead of simple moving averages, giving more weight to periods with higher volume.
* Divergence: Divergences are interpreted similarly to the standard MACD, but the VWMACD can be more sensitive to volume changes.
How It Works (Simplified):
1. Pivot Detection: The script identifies pivot highs and lows in both price and the selected indicators using the specified lookback periods.
2. Divergence Check: For each indicator:
* It checks if a series of pivots in price and the indicator are diverging (e.g., price makes a lower low, but the indicator makes a higher low for a bullish divergence).
* It calculates the divergence degree based on the difference in price and indicator values, weightings, and whether it's a regular or hidden divergence.
3. Strength Aggregation: The script sums up the divergence degrees of all enabled indicators to get the total divergence strength.
4. Visualization and Alerts: It draws lines and labels on the chart to visualize the divergences and generates alerts if the total strength exceeds the set threshold.
Benefits:
* Comprehensive Divergence Analysis: By considering multiple indicators, the script provides a more robust assessment of potential trend reversals.
* Customization: The many adjustable parameters allow traders to fine-tune the script to their specific trading style and preferences.
* Objective Strength Evaluation: The divergence strength calculation and categorization offer a more objective way to evaluate the significance of divergences.
* Early Warning System: Divergences can often precede significant price movements, making this script a valuable tool for anticipating potential trend changes.
* Volume Confirmation: The inclusion of CMF and VWMACD add volume-based confirmation to the divergence signals, potentially increasing their reliability.
Limitations:
* Lagging Indicators: Most of the indicators used are lagging, meaning they are based on past price data. Divergences may sometimes occur after a significant price move has already begun.
* False Signals: No indicator is perfect, and divergences can sometimes produce false signals, especially in choppy or ranging markets.
* Subjectivity: While the script aims for objectivity, some settings (like weightings and extreme values) still involve a degree of subjective judgment.
CVD OscillatorCVD Delta Oscillator
A momentum oscillator that measures buying and selling pressure through volume analysis, based on the principle that volume precedes price (cause and effect).
How It Works
Volume Analysis
Measures the force of buying and selling by analyzing how volume interacts with price movement within each bar
When price closes higher in a bar's range with strong volume, this indicates stronger buying pressure
When price closes lower in a bar's range with strong volume, this indicates stronger selling pressure
Momentum Measurement
Uses two EMAs (fast and slow) to smooth the volume delta
The difference between these EMAs creates an oscillator that shows:
Rising values = Buying pressure increasing
Falling values = Selling pressure increasing
Zero line crossovers = Potential shift in control between buyers and sellers
Signal Generation
Divergences
Bullish: Price falls to new lows while buying pressure increases (potential reversal up)
Bearish: Price rises to new highs while selling pressure increases (potential reversal down)
Zero-Line Crossovers
Bullish: Buying pressure overtakes selling pressure
Bearish: Selling pressure overtakes buying pressure
Practical Application
Reading the Indicator
Green columns above zero = Net buying pressure
Red columns below zero = Net selling pressure
Larger columns = Stronger pressure
Divergences and crossovers = Potential turning points
Trading Context
Helps identify when price movement has strong or weak volume support
Shows potential exhaustion points through divergences
Confirms trend changes through zero-line crossovers
Customization
Adjustable EMA periods for different trading styles
Toggle-able visual signals
Automatic alerts for all signals
DB369 - Directional Bias 369
DB369 - Directional Bias 369 Indicator
The **DB369** indicator helps traders identify key market levels and trends by combining multiple timeframes' price action analysis. It highlights important **pivot points** on the chart and provides visual cues to help you make more informed buy and sell decisions based on the overall market direction.
Key Features
1. Pivot Points Across Multiple Timeframes**:
- The indicator calculates and displays pivot points for the **Monthly**, **Weekly**, **Daily**, **4-Hour**, and **1-Hour** timeframes (or 30-minute equivalent if desired). These pivots represent significant price levels where the market may retest.
2. **Trend Detection**:
- The indicator evaluates the relationship between the current price and the pivot point for each timeframe. Based on this comparison, it classifies the market as **Bullish**, **Bearish**, or **Neutral** on each timeframe.
3. **Pivot Lines**:
- Horizontal lines are drawn to mark the key pivot points for each selected timeframe. These lines extend into the future and adjust dynamically as the market moves in real time.
- **Customizable**: You can choose which timeframes to display pivot points by enabling/disabling them in the settings.
4. **Trend Table**:
- A **table** is displayed at the top-right of the chart to show the trend for the **Daily**, **4-Hour**, and **30-Minute** timeframes. It provides an easy-to-read view of the trend direction across these timeframes.
5. **Buy/Sell Arrows**:
- **Buy Arrow**: A green arrow will appear when the **Daily**, **4-Hour**, and **30-Minute** trends are all **Bullish** (aligned in the same direction).
- **Sell Arrow**: A red arrow will appear when all three timeframes show a **Bearish** trend.
- These arrows appear only once per alignment change and can be enabled or disabled for alerts. This helps avoid clutter on the chart and ensures that you only see a signal when the alignment occurs or changes.
### **How to Use the DB369 Indicator**:
1. **Pivot Points**:
- The pivot points represent significant price levels where the market might retest in the future. For instance:
- **Bullish Market**: If the price is above the pivot point, the market is considered bullish.
- **Bearish Market**: If the price is below the pivot point, the market is considered bearish.
- **Neutral Market**: When the price is near the pivot point, the market is neither strongly bullish nor bearish.
2. **Trend Alignment**:
- When the **Daily**, **4-Hour**, and **30-Minute** timeframes all show the same trend direction (either **Bullish** or **Bearish**), this alignment signifies a stronger trend.
- You will receive a **Buy Arrow** when all three timeframes are aligned bullish, and a **Sell Arrow** when they are aligned bearish.
- These arrows are displayed at the point when the alignment is first detected and can also trigger **alerts**.
3. **Alerts**:
- You can choose to enable alerts for when a **Buy** or **Sell** arrow appears on the chart. This allows you to be notified in real-time when the alignment conditions are met.
4. **Using the Pivot Points for Entry**:
- **Buy Trade**: Look for a buy trade when the price is near the **pivot line** of the higher timeframes, particularly when the trend across all three timeframes is **Bullish**.
- **Sell Trade**: Similarly, look for a sell trade when the price is near a **pivot line** and the trend is **Bearish**.
5. **Customization**:
- You can customize which timeframes' pivots are shown on the chart by toggling the visibility of the **Monthly**, **Weekly**, **Daily**, **4-Hour**, and **1-Hour** pivots in the settings.
- The indicator automatically adjusts the pivot levels in real-time as the market progresses.
**Important Notes**:
- This indicator does not guarantee successful trades; it is intended to assist in identifying potential trade opportunities based on the alignment of higher timeframe trends.
- Always combine the information from the DB369 indicator with other technical analysis tools and risk management strategies to ensure more accurate trade decisions.
Correlation Confluence Trend IndicatorCorrelation Confluence Trend Indicator
Overview
The Correlation Confluence Trend Indicator combines exponential moving averages (EMAs) and statistical correlation measures to identify high-confidence trend alignments between an asset and a benchmark. By filtering signals through correlation strength, this indicator highlights opportunities when the asset and benchmark move together. In other words, it defines a trend and then uses correlation strength and the trend of a second asset to identify high-confidence trends.
Key Features
Dual EMA Trend Analysis :
Calculates fast and slow EMAs for both the asset and the selected benchmark (e.g., SPY) to identify bullish and bearish trends.
Correlation Strength Filtering :
Evaluates correlation between the asset and benchmark, identifying stronger-than-average relationships based on the mean and standard deviation.
Background Color Coding :
- Green : Strong correlation, both asset and benchmark bullish.
- Aqua : Weak correlation, both asset and benchmark bullish.
- Red : Strong correlation, both asset and benchmark bearish.
- Fuchsia : Weak correlation, both asset and benchmark bearish.
- Orange : Strong correlation, benchmark bullish, asset bearish.
- Yellow : Weak correlation, benchmark bullish, asset bearish.
- Purple : Strong correlation, benchmark bearish, asset bullish.
- Lime : Weak correlation, benchmark bearish, asset bullish.
Visual Trend Indicators :
Plots fast and slow EMAs for the asset, dynamically colored based on aggregate trend signals. The color of this corresponds to the main trend signal.
Inputs
Benchmark Symbol : Symbol of the benchmark asset to compare against.
Fast EMA Length : Period for the fast EMA calculation.
Slow EMA Length : Period for the slow EMA calculation.
Correlation Length : Number of bars for correlation calculation.
Correlation Mean Length : Number of bars for mean and standard deviation calculation.
Std Dev Multiplier : Multiplier for standard deviation to define correlation strength. When the correlation is Std Dev Multiplier standard deviations above the mean, it counts as a strong correlation.
Set Background Color : Toggle background coloring on or off.
Notes
This indicator is primarily designed for trend-following strategies. By combining trend analysis and correlation filtering, it ensures that signals occur during aligned market conditions, reducing false signals.
Before incorporating this indicator into your trading strategy:
Always backtest on historical data to evaluate its performance before committing capital.
Use proper risk management to control position sizes and mitigate potential losses.
Remember that no indicator guarantees success. I'm quite proud of this one, but it's not the holy grail.
