Follow the Volumes / Path of Least ResistanceThis indicator tracks price movements following significant volume increases. It identifies volume spikes by comparing recent average volume to a longer-term average. After a spike, it monitors price changes over a specified number of bars.
In plain English, the point of this is to “let the market show it’s hand”, vs. other common and preemptive methods of execution.
You can think of it as a better version of a volume up/down indicator which only uses opening and closing prices to identify "bullish" or "bearish" behavior.
To optimize this, I used a very small range chart, hence the small values. You will need to experiment with other values, ESPECIALLY the % change. If you do not do this, the indicator will generate a lot of noise.
The indicator has three main conditions:
1. Significant price increase, bullish: A green triangle appears below the bar.
2. Significant price decrease, bearish: A red triangle appears above the bar.
3. Price change within thresholds: A fuschia triangle appears, pointing up or down based on the overall (short-term) trend. This is common behavior during trends. A spike in volume will appear, and price simply does not budge. Volume/price is essentially declaring a new found value, in which case prices tend to follow the impulse movement (see market profile theory).
The color scheme is intuitive: green for positive moves, red for negative, and fuschia for subtle changes following the existing trend. Blue circles mark volume spikes for reference, which I recommend using only for reference, and disabling to remove unneeded noise.
Because this indicator "lags" in the sense of waiting for the market to show its hand, best opportunities are typically found on retests of the volume spikes themselves. On drives, however, the market will unlikely pullback, which (in my view) is one of its best use cases.
Bottom line, you will need to adjust the parameters to the instrument. This is not a plug and play solution, but far more accurate than those which are.
Settings, and what they mean:
Volume spike average bars: length for identification of high volumes. On smaller timeframes, such as my optimization period, you’ll want several bars. But on something such as a 5 minute or higher, only 1.
Lookback period: for identification of high volumes.
Volume Increase Threshold (%): % which constitutes a jump in volume
Bars After Spike: How long to wait for ensuing price movement. Also sensitive to the timeframe you are using. 1-2 recommended for 5m+, more for smaller range-based.
Negative Price Change Threshold (%): For red arrows (Volume + Price Movement)
Positive Price Change Threshold (%): Inverse of above
WMA Period for Stability Function: When price spikes on high volumes but does not move (price is “trapped” between negative and positive price change thresholds) the indicator marks direction (in fuchsia) in the direction of the underlying trend. This short-term MA identifies that trend.
Finally, because this indicator is volume-based, I recommend using primary instruments only and discourage its use on CFDs or other firm-generated instruments. Just use the primary. I would ignore signals off the open, which is subject to erroneous behavior. Other methods are far more effective for that.
This script is purposely uncomplicated. Feel free to play with settings and change code to suit your needs.

SDMA (Slope Degree Moving Average)This Pine Script indicator is designed to provide traders with a comprehensive view of market conditions by combining moving averages, VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price), and custom distance signals. It offers a clean and professional table interface to monitor trend strength, distance from moving averages, and potential trade signals.
Key Features
Moving Averages and VWAP:
The indicator calculates five moving averages (MAs) of user-defined lengths, providing a multi-faceted view of market trends.
VWAP is included to help identify overall market sentiment. VWAP is commonly used by institutional traders to measure the average price at which a security has traded throughout the day, taking into account both price and volume.
Slope Degree Calculation:
The indicator calculates the slope degree of each moving average. The slope is a measure of the moving average's angle, indicating the strength and direction of the trend.
Steeper slopes (positive or negative) indicate stronger trends, while flatter slopes suggest weaker or consolidating trends.
Trend Strength Analysis:
For each moving average, the indicator provides a trend strength rating based on the calculated slope. It categorizes trends as "Strong Bullish," "Moderate Bullish," "Flat," "Moderate Bearish," or "Strong Bearish."
The VWAP trend strength is shown as "Bullish" if the current price is above the VWAP and "Bearish" if below.
Distance Signal (DS):
The indicator includes a user-defined threshold for distance signals. This threshold determines whether the price is "Near" the moving average or significantly above/below it, indicated by "DS" (Distance Signal).
Traders can adjust the threshold to suit their trading strategy. For instance, a higher threshold might be used in volatile markets to identify meaningful deviations from the moving averages.
Table Display:
The indicator displays all relevant data in a clean, minimalistic table format, showing the moving average lengths, slope degrees, trend strengths, minutes since the last reversal, distance from the moving average, and distance signals.
The table also includes a row for VWAP, making it easy to compare the current price with this key level.
Trade Signal:
At the bottom of the table, a summary "Trade Signal" is displayed, showing either "Bullish Signal" or "Bearish Signal" based on the overall trend indications from the moving averages.
How to Use This Indicator
Identifying Trends: Use the slope degree and trend strength indicators to determine the direction and strength of the trend. Steeper slopes and stronger trend ratings suggest stronger trends, ideal for trend-following strategies.
VWAP Analysis: The VWAP row helps to identify whether the market is generally bullish or bearish. A price above VWAP typically suggests buying interest, while a price below suggests selling pressure.
Distance Signals: The DS column alerts traders when the price is significantly away from a moving average, which could signal potential overbought or oversold conditions, useful for mean reversion strategies.
Trade Signal: The final "Trade Signal" offers a quick summary of the overall market condition, combining the insights from all moving averages.
Customization
Moving Averages: Adjust the lengths of the five moving averages to match your trading strategy or the specific asset you're analyzing.
Distance Threshold: Set the distance threshold to control the sensitivity of the DS signals. A lower threshold will generate more signals, while a higher threshold will highlight only significant deviations.
This indicator is a versatile tool that can be used in various trading strategies, whether you're a trend follower, mean reversion trader, or someone looking to identify key levels like VWAP. Its clear, table-based interface ensures that all the critical data is available at a glance, allowing for quick decision-making in fast-moving markets.
MACD Trail | Flux Charts💎 GENERAL OVERVIEW
Introducing our new MACD Trail indicator! Moving average convergence/divergence (MACD) is a well-known indicator among traders. It's a trend-following indicator that uses the relationship between two exponential moving averages (EMAs). This indicator aims to use MACD to generate a trail that follows the current price of the ticker, which can act as a support / resistance zone. More info about the process in the "How Does It Work" section.
Features of the new MACD Trail Indicator :
A Trail Generated Using MACD Calculation
Customizable Algorithm
Customizable Styling
📌 HOW DOES IT WORK ?
First of all, this indicator calculates the current MACD of the ticker using the user's input as settings. Let X = MACD Length setting ;
MACD ~= X Period EMA - (X * 2) Period EMA
Then, two MACD Trails are generated, one being bullish and other being bearish. Let ATR = 30 period ATR (Average True Range)
Bullish MACD Trail = Current Price + MACD - (ATR * 1.75)
Bearish MACD Trail = Current Price + MACD + (ATR * 1.75)
The indicator starts by rendering only the Bullish MACD Trail. Then if it's invalidated (candlestick closes below the trail) it switches to Bearish MACD Trail. The MACD trail switches between bullish & bearish as they get invalidated.
The trail type may give a hint about the current trend of the price action. The trail itself also can act as a support / resistance zone, here is an example :
🚩 UNIQUENESS
While MACD is one of the most used indicators among traders, this indicator aims to add another functionality to it by rendering a trail based on it. This trail may act as a support / resistance zone as described above, and gives a glimpse about the current trend. The indicator also has custom MACD Length and smoothing options, as well as various style options.
⚙️ SETTINGS
1. General Configuration
MACD Length -> This setting adjusts the EMA periods used in MACD calculation. Increasing this setting will make MACD more responseive to longer trends, while decreasing it may help with detection of shorter trends.
Smoothing -> The smoothing of the MACD Trail. Increasing this setting will help smoothen out the MACD Trail line, but it can also make it less responsive to the latest changes.
Internal/External Market Structure [UAlgo]The "Internal/External Market Structure " indicator is a tool designed to identify and visualize internal and external market structure based on swing highs and lows. It helps traders understand short-term (internal) and long-term (external) price behavior.
🔶 What are ChoCH and BoS?
Change of Character (ChoCH)
Change of character refers to the reversal of market trend either from bullish to bearish or bearish to bullish. ChoCH is also a break of market structure but in opposite direction.
If market is in bullish trend but it breaks it previous (higher) low and makes a lower low, it will be termed a “bearish change of character” as price changed its trend from bullish to bearish.
Like wise if price is in bearish trend and it breaks its previous (lower) high making a higher high it will be marked as “bullish change of character” as price changed its trend from bearish to bullish.
Break of Structure (BoS)
When price breaks its structure in direction of previous trend its called break of structure (BoS). So its a trend continuation pattern.
As you know in bullish trend price makes higher highs. Each time when price break a previous high and marks a new high its known as bullish break of structure.
But in bearish trend price makes lower lows so every time when price breaks previous low and makes a new low it is called as bearish break of structure.
🔶 Key Features
Internal Swing Length: Allowing for fine-tuning of sensitivity to smaller, more frequent market movements.
External Swing Length: Focusing on capturing broader market trends.
The indicator differentiates between internal and external market structures, using different styles and colors to represent each. Internal structures are shown with solid lines, while external structures use dashed lines, providing clear visual cues.
Internal Market Structure:
The internal market structure focuses on shorter-term swings and is useful for identifying minor trend changes and short-term price movements. Breaks of internal swing highs or lows can indicate potential changes in the market's direction or momentum. The labels "CHoCH" and "BoS" help distinguish between changes in character and break of structure events, respectively.
External Market Structure:
The external market structure captures larger, more significant market moves. It is particularly useful for identifying major trend changes and key support and resistance levels. The dashed lines and corresponding labels "CHoCH+" and "BoS+" indicate more substantial shifts in market sentiment.
For BoS (Break of Structure):
For ChoCH (Change of Character):

Special Engulfing BarsExplanation of the Code:
Bullish Engulfing:
low <= low : The low of the current candle is lower than or equal to the low of the previous candle.
close >= close : The close of the current candle is higher than or equal to the close of the previous candle.
close > open: The current candle is bullish.
open > close : The previous candle is bearish.
Bearish Engulfing:
high >= high : The high of the current candle is higher than or equal to the high of the previous candle.
close <= close : The close of the current candle is lower than or equal to the close of the previous candle.
close < open: The current candle is bearish.
open < close : The previous candle is bullish.
Plot shape : Displays a signal on the chart when a bullish engulfing pattern (green color) or a bearish engulfing pattern (red color) is detected.
Alert condition : Sets an alert to send a notification when a bullish or bearish engulfing pattern is detected.
Algo Market Structure (Nephew_Sam_)This indicator takes a different approach into reading market structure.
The key difference between this logic compared to the pivot logic is; we read highs and lows based on bullish and bearish candles. Ie:
Pivot method - highest/lowest point in previous and next X candles
Algo method - Bullish candle(s) followed by a bearish candle and vice versa
More explanation in each of the key feature below.
Here are all of the concepts and features included in the indicator:
Timeframe
- You can select the timeframe of the indicator (has to be higher or equal to the chart timeframe)
- Min option is the minimum timeframe to show the indicator. If you show daily structure on 1m chart, you can run into a timeout error so keep it close to the chart timeframe.
- Recommended timeframe for no bugs is the current chart timeframe.
Structure
The structure is calculated using a combination of candle patterns (ie. pivot top = Bullish x3-Bearish-Bullish) and marks out circle labels after a new HH or LL
Structure high = 1 or more consecutive bull candles followed by a bear candle
Structure low = 1 or more consecutive bear candles followed by a bull candle
Structure direction change = when the second previous H/L is taken out (TLQ)
ILQ - Inducement Liquidity concept
In a bearish example this is the most recent structure high.
TLQ
In a bearish example this is the second most recent structure high.
This is also what helps define our structure direction. If broken, the structure changes (bullish / bearish) and plots a bos line.
EPA - Efficient price action
When price returns back to previous structure point after bos. Similar to an ICT breaker.
Note: It might be a little, just a little buggy if you have set your indicator timeframe to higher than the chart timeframe.
Extremes Zones
The final zone to find a trade entry before a structural shift. These are wick of the TLQ candle. This is select the wick of the current timeframe candle even if indicator is set to higher timeframe.
MSU
Tiny arrow labels at the bottom of your chart. Plots the arrows when price is between an ILQ and TLQ
VTA
Valid trading range. This is when we get some sort of a structure pattern. Plots a box when price induces previous structure point and then breaks structure in the opposite direction. Here are the patterns:
Bull VTA - HH-LL-HH
Bear VTA - LL-HH-LL
Bull Strict VTA - LL-HH-LL-HH
Bear Strict VTA - HH-LL-HH-LL
Bar colors
Changes the bar color based on the structure to all green/red.
Note: for this to work, you will have to right click on the indicator, then under visual order select 'bring to front'
Table
This table plots the structure stats/data
1. If structure is bullish / bearish
2. If price is efficient or not
3. If there is an MSU
4. If price is inside a VTA

Crab Harmonic Pattern [TradingFinder] Harmonic Chart patterns🔵 Introduction
The Crab pattern is recognized as a reversal pattern in technical analysis, utilizing Fibonacci numbers and percentages for chart analysis. This pattern can predict suitable price reversal areas on charts using Fibonacci ratios.
The structure of the Crab pattern can manifest in both bullish and bearish forms on the chart. By analyzing this structure, traders can identify points where the price direction changes, which are essential for making informed trading decisions.
The pattern's structure is visually represented on charts as shown below. To gain a deeper understanding of the Crab pattern's functionality, it is beneficial to become familiar with its various harmonic forms.
🟣 Types of Crab Patterns
The Crab pattern is categorized into two types based on its structure: bullish and bearish. The bullish Crab is denoted by the letter M, while the bearish Crab is indicated by the letter W in technical analysis.
Typically, a bullish Crab pattern signals a potential price increase, whereas a bearish Crab pattern suggests a potential price decrease on the chart.
The direction of price movement depends significantly on the price's position within the chart. By identifying whether the pattern is bullish or bearish, traders can determine the likely direction of the price reversal.
Bullish Crab :
Bearish Crab :
🔵 How to Use
When trading using the Crab pattern, crucial parameters include the end time of the correction and the point at which the chart reaches its peak. Generally, the best time to buy is when the chart nears the end of its correction, and the best time to sell is when it approaches the peak price.
As we discussed, the end of the price correction and the time to reach the peak are measured using Fibonacci ratios. By analyzing these levels, traders can estimate the end of the correction in the chart waves and select a buying position for their stock or asset upon reaching that ratio.
🟣 Bullish Crab Pattern
In this pattern, the stock price is expected to rise at the pattern's completion, transitioning into an upward trend. The bullish Crab pattern usually begins with an upward trend, followed by a price correction, after which the stock resumes its upward movement.
If a deeper correction occurs, the price will change direction at some point on the chart and rise again towards its target price. Price corrections play a critical role in this pattern, as it aims to identify entry and exit points using Fibonacci ratios, allowing traders to make purchases at the end of the corrections.
When the price movement lines are connected on the chart, the bullish Crab pattern resembles the letter M.
🟣 Bearish Crab Pattern
In this pattern, the stock price is expected to decline at the pattern's completion, leading to a strong downward trend. The bearish Crab pattern typically starts with a price correction in a downward trend and, after several fluctuations, reaches a peak where the direction changes downward, resulting in a significant price drop.
This pattern uses Fibonacci ratios to identify points where the price movement is likely to change direction, enabling traders to exit their positions at the chart's peak. When the price movement lines are connected on the chart, the bearish Crab pattern resembles the letter W.
🔵 Setting
🟣 Logical Setting
ZigZag Pivot Period : You can adjust the period so that the harmonic patterns are adjusted according to the pivot period you want. This factor is the most important parameter in pattern recognition.
Show Valid Format : If this parameter is on "On" mode, only patterns will be displayed that they have exact format and no noise can be seen in them. If "Off" is, the patterns displayed that maybe are noisy and do not exactly correspond to the original pattern.
Show Formation Last Pivot Confirm : if Turned on, you can see this ability of patterns when their last pivot is formed. If this feature is off, it will see the patterns as soon as they are formed. The advantage of this option being clear is less formation of fielded patterns, and it is accompanied by the latest pattern seeing and a sharp reduction in reward to risk.
Period of Formation Last Pivot : Using this parameter you can determine that the last pivot is based on Pivot period.
🟣 Genaral Setting
Show : Enter "On" to display the template and "Off" to not display the template.
Color : Enter the desired color to draw the pattern in this parameter.
LineWidth : You can enter the number 1 or numbers higher than one to adjust the thickness of the drawing lines. This number must be an integer and increases with increasing thickness.
LabelSize : You can adjust the size of the labels by using the "size.auto", "size.tiny", "size.smal", "size.normal", "size.large" or "size.huge" entries.
🟣 Alert Setting
Alert : On / Off
Message Frequency : This string parameter defines the announcement frequency. Choices include: "All" (activates the alert every time the function is called), "Once Per Bar" (activates the alert only on the first call within the bar), and "Once Per Bar Close" (the alert is activated only by a call at the last script execution of the real-time bar upon closing). The default setting is "Once per Bar".
Show Alert Time by Time Zone : The date, hour, and minute you receive in alert messages can be based on any time zone you choose. For example, if you want New York time, you should enter "UTC-4". This input is set to the time zone "UTC" by default.
VWAP with RSIVWAP with RSI Indicator
Overview
The VWAP with RSI Indicator is a powerful tool that combines the Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) with the Relative Strength Index (RSI) to provide traders with comprehensive insights into price trends, volume-weighted price levels, and market momentum. This dual-indicator setup enhances your trading strategy by offering a clearer understanding of the market conditions, potential entry and exit points, and trend reversals.
Key Features
VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price):
Calculation: The VWAP is calculated using the high, low, and close prices, weighted by trading volume over a specified period.
Purpose: VWAP provides an average price that reflects the trading volume at different price levels, helping traders identify the true average price over a given period.
Visualization: The VWAP line is plotted in blue on the price chart, indicating the volume-weighted average price.
RSI (Relative Strength Index):
Calculation: RSI is based on the average gains and losses over a specified period (default is 14 periods) and ranges from 0 to 100.
Purpose: RSI measures the speed and change of price movements, identifying overbought or oversold conditions in the market.
Overbought/Oversold Levels:
Overbought: RSI above 70 (red line).
Oversold: RSI below 30 (green line).
Midline: RSI at 50 (gray dashed line).
Visualization: The RSI line changes color based on its value (purple for normal, red for overbought, green for oversold) and is plotted below the price chart.
Background Fill for RSI:
Overbought Area: Shaded red when RSI is above 70.
Oversold Area: Shaded green when RSI is below 30.
Bullish and Bearish Divergence Detection:
Bullish Divergence: Occurs when price forms a lower low, but RSI forms a higher low, indicating potential upward reversal.
Visualization: Bullish divergence points are marked with a green line and labeled "Bull."
Bearish Divergence: Occurs when price forms a higher high, but RSI forms a lower high, indicating potential downward reversal.
Visualization: Bearish divergence points are marked with a red line and labeled "Bear."
Alerts: Conditions for bullish and bearish divergences trigger alerts.
Settings
VWAP Settings:
hideonDWM: Option to hide VWAP on daily or higher timeframes.
src: Source for VWAP calculation (default is hlc3 - (high + low + close)/3).
offset: Offset for plotting the VWAP.
RSI Settings:
rsiLengthInput: Period length for RSI calculation (default is 14).
rsiSourceInput: Source for RSI calculation (default is close price).
maTypeInput: Type of moving average applied to RSI (options: SMA, EMA).
maLengthInput: Length of the moving average applied to RSI.
How to Use
Trend Identification: Use VWAP to identify the average price level and market trend. If the price is above VWAP, it suggests an uptrend, and if below, it suggests a downtrend.
Overbought/Oversold Conditions: Use RSI to identify potential reversal points. RSI above 70 indicates overbought conditions, and below 30 indicates oversold conditions.
Divergence: Look for bullish or bearish divergences between price and RSI to anticipate potential trend reversals.
Conclusion
By combining VWAP and RSI, this indicator provides a robust framework for analyzing market conditions, identifying trends, and making more informed trading decisions. Enhance your trading strategy today with the VWAP with RSI Indicator!
Auto Volume Spread Analysis (VSA) [TANHEF]Auto Volume Spread Analysis (visible volume and spread bars auto-scaled): Understanding Market Intentions through the Interpretation of Volume and Price Movements.
All the sections below contain the same descriptions as my other indicator "Volume Spread Analysis" with the exception of 'Auto Scaling'.
█ Auto-Scaling
This indicator auto-scales spread bars to match the visible volume bars, unlike the previous "Volume Spread Analysis " version which limited the number of visible spread bars to a fixed count. The auto-scaling feature allows for easier navigation through historical data, enabling both more historical spread bars to be viewed and more historical VSA pattern labels being displayed without requiring using the bar replay tool. Please note that this indicator’s auto-scaling feature recalculates the visible bars on the chart, causing the indicator to reload whenever the chart is moved.
Auto-scaled spread bars have two display options (set via 'Spread Bars Method' setting):
Lines: a bar lookback limit of 500 bars.
Polylines: no bar lookback limit as only plotted on visible bars on chart, which uses multiple polylines are used.
█ Simple Explanation:
The Volume Spread Analysis (VSA) indicator is a comprehensive tool that helps traders identify key market patterns and trends based on volume and spread data. This indicator highlights significant VSA patterns and provides insights into market behavior through color-coded volume/spread bars and identification of bars indicating strength, weakness, and neutrality between buyers and sellers. It also includes powerful volume and spread forecasting capabilities.
█ Laws of Volume Spread Analysis (VSA):
The origin of VSA begins with Richard Wyckoff, a pivotal figure in its development. Wyckoff made significant contributions to trading theory, including the formulation of three basic laws:
The Law of Supply and Demand: This fundamental law states that supply and demand balance each other over time. High demand and low supply lead to rising prices until demand falls to a level where supply can meet it. Conversely, low demand and high supply cause prices to fall until demand increases enough to absorb the excess supply.
The Law of Cause and Effect: This law assumes that a 'cause' will result in an 'effect' proportional to the 'cause'. A strong 'cause' will lead to a strong trend (effect), while a weak 'cause' will lead to a weak trend.
The Law of Effort vs. Result: This law asserts that the result should reflect the effort exerted. In trading terms, a large volume should result in a significant price move (spread). If the spread is small, the volume should also be small. Any deviation from this pattern is considered an anomaly.
█ Volume and Spread Analysis Bars:
Display: Volume and spread bars that consist of color coded levels, with the spread bars scaled to match the volume bars. A displayable table (Legend) of bar colors and levels can give context and clarify to each volume/spread bar.
Calculation: Levels are calculated using multipliers applied to moving averages to represent key levels based on historical data: low, normal, high, ultra. This method smooths out short-term fluctuations and focuses on longer-term trends.
Low Level: Indicates reduced volatility and market interest.
Normal Level: Reflects typical market activity and volatility.
High Level: Indicates increased activity and volatility.
Ultra Level: Identifies extreme levels of activity and volatility.
This illustrates the appearance of Volume and Spread bars when scaled and plotted together:
█ Forecasting Capabilities:
Display: Forecasted volume and spread levels using predictive models.
Calculation: Volume and Spread prediction calculations differ as volume is linear and spread is non-linear.
Volume Forecast (Linear Forecasting): Predicts future volume based on current volume rate and bar time till close.
Spread Forecast (Non-Linear Dynamic Forecasting): Predicts future spread using a dynamic multiplier, less near midpoint (consolidation) and more near low or high (trending), reflecting non-linear expansion.
Moving Averages: In forecasting, moving averages utilize forecasted levels instead of actual levels to ensure the correct level is forecasted (low, normal, high, or ultra).
The following compares forecasted volume with actual resulting volume, highlighting the power of early identifying increased volume through forecasted levels:
█ VSA Patterns:
Criteria and descriptions for each VSA pattern are available as tooltips beside them within the indicator’s settings. These tooltips provide explanations of potential developments based on the volume and spread data.

Whether analyzing historical data or forecasting future trends, this indicator provides insights into the underlying factors driving market movements.
Heads UpAn indicator that gives you the "heads up" that that bullish/ bearish strength is increasing.
I wanted an indicator that could give me the "heads up" that bullish/ bearish strength is increasing. This would help me get into a breakout early or avoid entering a breakout that had a high probability of failure.
Here are my definitions for this indicator:
My bull bar definition:
- A green candle that closes above 75% of it's candle range.
- The candle's body does not overlap the previous candle's body. Tails/ wicks CAN overlap.
My bear bar definition:
- A red candle that closes below 75% of it's candle range.
- the candle's body does not overlap the previous candle's body. Tails/ ticks CAN overlap.
Bullish strength increasing (arrow up):
- Bull bars are increasing in size (the candle's range) compared to previous 5 bars.
- 2 consecutive bull bars.
Bearish strength increasing (arrow down):
- Bear bars are increasing in size (the candle's range) compared to previous 5 bars.
- 2 consecutive bear bars.
You will not see this indicator trigger very often but when it does - it's because there is a change in bullish bearish strength.
Things to be aware of:
Use the indicator in line with the context of the previous trend. You will get triggers that fail. These are usually because they appear counter trend. When in doubt zoom out.
It will not call every successful breakout. If you understand the definitions you'll understand why it appears.
This is my first indicator and used for my personal use. Feedback and other ideas are welcome.
Scaled Historical ATR [SS]Hello again everyone,
This is the Scaled ATR Range indicator. This was done in response to an article/analysis I posted regarding the expected high and range on SPX. I would encourage you to read it here:
Essentially, I took SPX data, scaled it to correct for inflation, then calculated the ATR for Bullish years to get our average range to expect and our close range to expected.
I accomplished this analysis using Excel; however, I figured Pinescript would handle this type of task more elegantly, and I was correct!
This indicator is the result.
What it does:
This indicator permits the analyst to select a historic period in time. The indicator will then scale the period into returns and convert the range to a corrected range based on the current position of the ticker. How it does this is by converting the returns of the historic period selected, then multiplying the returns by the current period open, to ensure that the range amounts are corrected for inflation and natural growth of a ticker.
I say analyst because this indicator is intended to be used by both professional and recreational analysts, to give them an easy way to:
a) Scale historic data and correct it based on the current rate; and
b) Offer insight into a ticker’s ATR and behaviour during bullish and bearish periods.
Prior to this indicator, the only way to do this would be manually or the use of statistical software.
How to use?
The indicator’s use is quite simple. Once launched, the indicator will ask the user to input a timeframe period that the user is interested in assessing. In the main chart above, I chose SPX between 1995 and 2001.
The user can further filter down the data using the settings menu. In the settings menu, there is an option to filter by “All”, “Bullish Periods” or “Bearish Periods”.
Filtering by “All”
Filtering by “All” will include all candles selected within the timeframe. This includes both bearish and bullish candles. It will give you the averaged out range for the entire period of time, including both bearish and bullish instances.
Filtering by “Bullish”
Filtering by “Bullish” will omit any red candles from the analysis. It will only return the ATR ranges for green, bullish candles.
Filtering by “Bearish”
Inverse to filtering by Bullish, if you filter by Bearish, it will only include the red, bearish candles in the analysis.
My suggestion? If you are trying to determine t he likely outcome of a bullish year, filter by Bullish instances. If you want the likely outcome of a bearish year, filter by Bearish.
Other features of the Indicator:
The indicator will display the current period statistics. In the main chart above, you can see that the current ranges for this year are displayed. This allows you to do a side by side comparison of the current period vs. the historic period you are looking at. This can alert you to further upside, further downside and the anticipated close range. It can also alert you to whether or not we are following a similar trajectory as the historical periods you are looking at.
As well, the indicator will list target prices for the current period based on the historical periods you are looking at. This helps to put things into perspective.
Concluding Remarks
And that is the indicator in a nutshell! I encourage you to read the article I linked above to see how you may use it in an analysis. This would be the best example of a real world application of this indicator!
Otherwise, I hope you enjoy and, as always, safe trades!

1. Overview
The Bitcoin Destiny Line Model is a technical analysis toolset designed exclusively for Bitcoin. It integrates a comprehensive suite of analytical methodologies to provide deep insights into Bitcoin's market dynamics focusing on long-term investment strategies.
By analyzing historical data through various technical frameworks, the model helps investors gain insight into the current market structure, cycle dynamics, direction, and trend of Bitcoin, assisting investors and traders with data-driven decision-making.
2. Analytical and Technical Techniques Employed
The model integrates a range of analytical techniques:
Cycle Analysis - Centers on the Bitcoin halving event to anticipate phases within the Bitcoin cycle.
Logarithmic Regression Analysis - Calculates the logarithmic growth of Bitcoin over time.
Standard Deviation - Measures how significantly the price action differs from the long-term logarithmic trend.
Fibonacci Analysis - Identifies support and resistance levels.
Multi-Timeframe Momentum - Analyzes overbought or oversold conditions across multiple periods.
Trendlines - Draws trendlines from expected cycle lows to expected cycle highs extending logarithmic and deviation lines into the future as projection lines.
3. Objectives of the Bitcoin Destiny Line Model
The model is crafted to deliver an empirical framework for Bitcoin investing:
Bitcoin Market Structure - Offers insights into Bitcoin’s market structure.
Identify Value Opportunities and Risk Areas - Pinpoints potential value-entry opportunities and recognizes when the market is over-extended.
Leverage Market Cycles - Utilizes knowledge of Bitcoin’s seasonal dynamics and halving cycles to inform investment strategies.
Mitigate Downside Risk - Provides indicators for potential market corrections, aiding in risk management and avoidance of buying at peak prices.
4. Key Technical Components and Functionalities
4.1. Bitcoin Destiny Line and Heatmap
The cycle low to cycle high line with a risk-based color-coded heatmap serves as a central reference for Bitcoin’s price trajectory.
It emphasizes the long-term trend indicating areas of value in cool colors and areas of risk in warm colors.
4.2. Halving Cycles Markers
Bitcoin halving events are marked on the chart with vertical lines forming anchor points for cycle analysis.
4.3. Dynamic Repricing Rails with Diminishing Volatility Adjustment
Repricing rails based on the long-term logarithmic trend highlight the rails on which Bitcoin's price will reprice up or down.
Adjusts to the diminishing volatility of the asset over time as it matures.
4.4. Seasonal Dynamics
Integrates Bitcoin's inherent seasonal trends to provide additional context for market conditions aligning with broader market analysis.
Understanding Bitcoin’s seasons:
Spring Awakening - The initial recovery phase where the market begins to rebound from a bear market showing early signs of improvement. This is an ideal time for cautious optimism. Investors should consider gradually increasing their positions in Bitcoin, focusing on accumulation as confidence in market recovery grows.
Blossom Boom - A market bottom has been confirmed by now and market interest continues to pick up ahead of the Bitcoin halving. This typically presents a great opportunity for investors to position themselves advantageously ahead of expected price movements. It’s a good time to review and adjust portfolios to align with anticipated trends.
Midsummer Momentum - This phase follows the Bitcoin halving, characterized by a sideways to upward price trend often supported by heightened interest and media coverage. It represents potentially the last opportunity in the cycle for investors to purchase Bitcoin at lower price levels unlikely to be seen again. Investors should closely monitor the market for value buying opportunities to bolster their long-term investment strategies.
Rocket Rise - A phase where Bitcoin prices are likely to surge dramatically driven by a mix of Fear of Missing Out (FOMO) among new investors and widespread media hype. The strategy here is twofold: long-term holders should hold steady to reap maximum gains whereas more speculative investors might look to capitalize on the volatility by taking profits at optimal moments before a potential correction.
Winter Whispers - Following a bull run, the market begins to cool, marked by some investors taking profits and consequently increasing price fluctuations and volatility. During this time, investors should remain vigilant, tightening stop-loss orders to safeguard gains. This phase may be suitable for those looking to liquidate a portion of their long-term investments. However, for an investor to be selling the majority of their Bitcoin holdings is generally not advisable as it could preclude benefiting from potential future appreciations.
Deep Freeze - The market enters a bearish phase with significant price declines and market corrections. It's a period of consolidation and resetting of price levels. The end of this stage could typically be seen as a buying opportunity for the long-term investor. Accumulating Bitcoin during this phase can be advantageous as prices are lower and provide a foundation for significant growth in the next cycle.
4.5. Support and Resistance Zones
Calculates key levels that inform stop-loss placements and trading size decisions enhancing trading strategy around the Bitcoin Destiny Line.
4.6. Market Action Indicators
Suggests potential trading actions for different market phases aiding traders in identifying investment/trading opportunities.
Risk Indicator - Signals when prices are extremely over-extended helping to avoid entries during potential peak valuations.
4.7. Cycle Projections
Extends repricing levels into the future providing a visual forecast of expected price movements and enhancing strategic planning capabilities.
Cycle-High Price Projection Range - Provides a probabilistic range for upcoming cycle peaks based on historical trends and current market analysis.
4.8. Heatmap Only
It is also possible to plot the heatmap only as a background or as a bar in a second indicator.
4.9. Complete Visual View
A complete view of all key elements switched on the model.
5. Settings
Users can select to only show specific elements or all elements of the model.
They can set the sensitivity of some of the model elements and adjust certain view settings.
6. Different Strategies to Utilize the Model
The following strategies are enabled by the Bitcoin Destiny Line model:
6.1. Value-Based Entry Strategy
Investors can optimize their investment strategy by deploying investable cash either as a lump sum or on a dollar-cost averaging basis upon the display of a value indicator (Up-Triangles) which signals the highest probability for value entries.
6.2. Long-Term Position Strategy
As an alternative, investors may prefer to continue deploying investable funds while cooler colors (green or blue) are displayed on the value map, indicating favorable conditions for long-term positions.
6.3. Scaling Out Strategy
Investors may choose to scale out some of their investment upon the display of a risk indicator (circles) reducing exposure to potential downturns.
6.4. Portfolio Rebalancing Strategy
A sound strategy can also be to follow a portfolio rebalancing approach by deploying available investable cash upon the display of a value indicator. Rebalance the portfolio to maintain 25% in cash upon the display of a risk indicator. Adjust this ratio as subsequent risk indicators are triggered, deploying available cash upon future value signals.
6.5. Bear Market Strategy
In a bear market, traders may seek short positions upon the display of the Continued Downward Momentum indicator (Down Triangles) capitalizing on declining market trends.
6.6. Short-Term Trading Strategy
Traders can use hourly or 4-hourly data along with the daily Price Rails and Heatmap Bar for short-term positions. They may incorporate other preferred indicators such as RSI for entry/exit decisions.
7. Recommendations and Disclosures
Investors are recommended to take a prudent approach. It is not recommended for investors to scale out completely or significantly reduce the largest portion of their long-term Bitcoin positions in hopes of buying back at lower prices unless they have a compelling reason to do so. The future market conditions may not replicate past opportunities making this strategy uncertain. However, scaling out a smaller portion such as 25% can offer a high potential for an asymmetric risk-reward ratio. This approach is likely to provide a higher risk-adjusted return compared to traditional dollar-cost averaging or random lump sum adjustments.
The Bitcoin Destiny Line Model leverages 13.5 years of available price data across four complete Bitcoin market cycles.
While each additional cycle enriches the model's robustness and enhances the reliability of its forecasts, it is crucial for users to understand that historical trends are indicative of probable future directions and potential price ranges. Users should be cognizant that past performance is not a definitive predictor of future results and should not be the sole basis for investment decisions.
Flush Percent RangeFans of Woodies CCI may recognize the approach to this one. This is my attempt at using the same methods but for taking the highs and lows into account without the standard deviation of the CCI. The smoothness of other oscillators may not be ideal however the Williams Percent Range is a fast stochastic that also operates within a channel. This provides an alternative yet still complex view for the virtuoso. A unique feature is total utilization of the weighted moving average, from the standard to the more complex. A fun fact is the Hull Moving Average is actually calculated using weighted moving averages.
How to use:
The base length is for accuracy, the fast length is for catching all the moves(even the wrong ones sometimes.)
The bars back option will not flip the histogram/base trend to its bullish/bearish alternative until the base plot remains on the latter half of the oscillator for a certain number of bars. This can be set to zero if desired.
The factor controls the chop on the various levels. A higher number will increase it.
The oscillator levels are measuring slope, price relative to the average, and a summation of percent changes between the two. Both the baseline/histogram and the levels have color coding for bullishness, bearishness, and indecision(depending on the factor.) The fast line matches the indecision color by default. This is all customizable.
There are many potential ways to trade with this indicator. From hooks back toward the trend and range line crossovers to divergence and reversals. It's important to note the current performance of the oscillator levels. Time cycles may come in handy along with other forecasting tools.
Lastly, there are optional linear regression lines plotted on the chart. They're synchronized to the lengths in the oscillator. This is an additional visual aid to provide context to the direction of the channel.
Overall the Flush Percent Range is for analyzing multiple regression models within a single price channel. No smoothing, fast averages, and specified timeframes of highs/lows. Credit to Larry Williams for the original calculation and Ken Woods for design/methodology inspiration.

The core of the indicator is its ability to calculate market trends. Here's a detailed breakdown of how the `calculateTrend` function works:
- Initialization: Variables for the middle price and scale, and summations of high/low prices and ranges, are initialized.
- Summation Loop: A loop runs over the smoothing length to calculate the sum of high and low prices and their range.
- Middle and Scale Calculation: The middle price is determined as the average of high/low sums, and the scale is calculated as a fraction of the average range.
- Normalization: The high, low, and close prices are normalized based on the middle price and scale.
- HT Calculation: The normalized prices are smoothed using a simple moving average (SMA).
- Frequency and Exponential Calculations: The frequency and related constants (a, c1, c2, c3) are calculated for further smoothing.
- Smoothed Moving Average (SMA): A smoothed moving average is computed using the HT values and exponential constants.
- WT1 and WT2 Calculation: The final smoothed values (WT1) and their average (WT2) are derived.
9. Color Application Based on Trend
Once the trend is calculated, the script applies the appropriate color to the candles based on the selected color scheme. This function ensures that the visual representation of the trend is consistent with the user’s preferences.
10. Label Plotting for Timeframes
If the option to display timeframe labels is enabled, the script plots labels on the chart to indicate the current timeframe. This feature helps users quickly identify which timeframe they are analyzing.

Inside Bar Setup [as]Inside Bar Setup Indicator Description
The **Inside Bar Setup ** indicator is a powerful tool for traders to identify and visualize inside bar patterns on their charts. An inside bar pattern occurs when the current candle's high is lower than the previous candle's high, and the current candle's low is higher than the previous candle's low. This pattern can indicate a potential breakout or a continuation of the existing trend.
Key Features:
1. **Highlight Inside Bar Patterns:**
- The indicator highlights inside bar patterns with distinct colors for bullish and bearish bars. Bullish inside bars are colored with the user-defined bull bar color (default lime), and bearish inside bars are colored with the user-defined bear bar color (default maroon).
2. **Marking Mother Candle High and Low:**
- The high and low of the mother candle (the candle preceding the inside bar) are marked with horizontal lines. The high is marked with a green line, and the low is marked with a red line.
- These levels are labeled as "Range High" and "Range Low" respectively, with the labels displayed a few bars to the right for clarity. The labels have a semi-transparent background for better visibility.
3. **Target Levels:**
- The indicator calculates and plots potential target levels (T1 and T2) for both long and short positions based on user-defined multipliers of the mother candle's range.
- For long positions, T1 and T2 are plotted above the mother candle's high.
- For short positions, T1 and T2 are plotted below the mother candle's low.
- These target levels are optional and can be toggled on or off via the input settings.
4. **Customizable Inputs:**
- **Colors:**
- Bull Bar Color: Customize the color for bullish inside bars.
- Bear Bar Color: Customize the color for bearish inside bars.
- **Long Targets:**
- Show Long T1: Toggle the display of the first long target.
- Show Long T2: Toggle the display of the second long target.
- Long T1: Multiplier for the first long target above the mother candle's high.
- Long T2: Multiplier for the second long target above the mother candle's high.
- **Short Targets:**
- Show Short T1: Toggle the display of the first short target.
- Show Short T2: Toggle the display of the second short target.
- Short T1: Multiplier for the first short target below the mother candle's low.
- Short T2: Multiplier for the second short target below the mother candle's low.
5. **New Day Detection:**
- The indicator detects the start of a new day and clears the inside bar arrays, ensuring that the pattern detection is always current.
#### Usage:
- Add the indicator to your TradingView chart.
- Customize the inputs to match your trading strategy.
- Watch for highlighted inside bars to identify potential breakout opportunities.
- Use the marked range highs and lows, along with the calculated target levels, to plan your trades.
This indicator is ideal for traders looking to capitalize on inside bar patterns and their potential breakouts. It provides clear visual cues and customizable settings to enhance your trading decisions.
Note:
This indicator is based on famous 15 min inside bar strategy shared by Subashish Pani on his youtube channel Power of stocks. Please watch his videos to use this indicator for best results.
Volatility Volume IndicatorIntroducing the Volatility Volume Indicator (𝓥𝓥𝓘) , a sophisticated tool designed to provide traders and investors with deeper insights into market dynamics by analyzing the interplay between price movements and trading volume. This indicator, built with the latest Pine Script version 5, leverages advanced calculations to deliver a clear, visual representation of market volatility and volume trends. Whether you are a day trader looking for intraday opportunities or a long-term investor seeking to understand market behavior, the 𝓥𝓥𝓘 is an invaluable addition to your trading arsenal.
Explanation of the Logic
The Volatility Volume Indicator (𝓥𝓥𝓘) is constructed on a foundation of key market metrics: high, low, open, and close prices, along with volume data. It begins by breaking down each price bar into its upper, lower, and body components, which are then used to calculate the proportional contributions of these segments to the overall price movement. This analysis allows the indicator to distinguish between different types of price action, whether bullish or bearish.
Volume normalization is a crucial aspect of the 𝓥𝓥𝓘, where the current volume is compared against its exponential moving average to gauge relative volume strength. This normalized volume is then used to compute bullish and bearish volumes separately, providing a granular view of market sentiment. These volumes are smoothed over a specified period to reduce noise and highlight significant trends.
The volatility component of the 𝓥𝓥𝓘 is integrated by analyzing the relationship between price range and volume. The indicator calculates the range of each price bar (the difference between the high and low) and breaks it down into upper and lower segments relative to the open and close prices. By examining how much of the total price movement is due to the body of the candlestick versus the wicks, the 𝓥𝓥𝓘 can determine periods of high and low volatility. When combined with volume data, this approach provides a comprehensive view of how volatile price movements are supported or contradicted by trading volume.
The final output is a visual plot that color-codes the combined volume difference, offering clear signals based on the balance between bullish and bearish pressures. The bar coloring adds another layer of interpretation:
Bright Blue: Indicates strong volume and volatility to the upside, signaling robust bullish activity.
Dark Blue: Indicates weak volume and volatility to the upside, suggesting less intense bullish movements.
Dark Red: Indicates weak volume and volatility to the downside, pointing to subdued bearish activity.
Bright Red: Indicates strong volume and volatility to the downside, highlighting significant bearish pressure.
Use Cases for This Indicator in Trading and Investing
The 𝓥𝓥𝓘 is versatile and can be applied in various trading and investing scenarios. Day traders can use it to identify periods of high volatility and volume, which are often associated with potential breakout or breakdown points. By understanding the underlying volume dynamics, traders can make more informed decisions about entry and exit points, improving their chances of capturing significant price moves.
For swing traders and long-term investors, the 𝓥𝓥𝓘 helps in spotting sustained trends and potential reversals. By analyzing the cumulative bullish and bearish volumes, investors can better gauge market sentiment and the strength of ongoing trends. This can aid in confirming the viability of trend-following strategies or in identifying overbought or oversold conditions, thus enhancing risk management and strategic planning.
Main flaw :
Why Do I Keep It Closed Source
The decision to keep the Volatility Volume Indicator (𝓥𝓥𝓘) closed source stems from several important considerations. First and foremost, this indicator encapsulates a unique methodology and proprietary calculations that differentiate it from other tools available in the market. By keeping the source code private, we protect the intellectual property and maintain the competitive edge that this sophisticated analysis provides.
Additionally, a closed-source approach ensures that the integrity of the indicator remains intact. Users can trust that the 𝓥𝓥𝓘 they are using is free from unauthorized modifications or errors introduced by third-party alterations. This guarantees consistent performance and reliability, which is critical for making accurate trading and investing decisions. Finally, keeping the code closed source allows for controlled updates and enhancements, ensuring that users always have access to the most refined and effective version of the indicator.
Quantiple Direction IndexThis indicator indicates market trends by analyzing the following signals:
1. RSI which is a momentum oscillator
2. Directional Movement Index (DMI) which measures the direction of the movement
3. Price in comparison to EMA 13 and 21 to determine whether the trend is clear or there is an ambiguity
4. ADX that shows the strength of the momentum
Scoring logic
While we have kept the source code open which gives the scoring logic, for ease of the user, I am summarizing the scoring logic
A. We break down RSI and DMI into a 9 point scale (-4 to +4) from extremely bearish to bullish. Then we give equal weight to both and come out with a direction score.
B. We use EMA to determine if their is clarity in the price trend. While the direction is deduced from point A, if there is clarity we know that the confidence on the direction is high. If EMA 13 is higher than EMA 21 and the price is above EMA 13, then we assign it as a score of +1 as we get clear bullish trend. Similarly if EMA 13 is below EMA 21 and the price is below both the EMAs then we assign it a score of -1 as we get clear bearish trend. Anything else is considered as inconclusive and given a score of 0
C. We use ADX to determine the strength of the directional momentum. It is like acceleration. We use ADX score as an strength adjustment factor. If the value is above 25 - we multiply A+B by 1.25. Similarly we multiply it by 0.75 if the strength is weak and no change if the strength is neutral.
Finally this indicator categorizes market direction into five levels:
- Very Bullish
- Bullish
- Neutral
- Bearish
- Very Bearish
Scores range from +6 (very bullish) to -6 (very bearish), with the user setting thresholds for each category. The midpoint between Bullish and Bearish defines the neutral zone.
Again all the exact values are in the code and the user can also customize as per their trading system.
Why does it make sense to combine these different indicators rather than looking at them in isolation?
We give equal weight to RSI and DMI to derive the direction of the price movement. Using two different indicators provide a better confirmation on the direction. However, this alone is not sufficient.
We want clarity of the direction and for that we use the EMA score (please refer to point B above). If we have clarity, the probability of the direction being right goes up.
Once we know the direction, we want to know what is the strength of that direction. This point is very valuable for an option trader. This is where this indicator brings value.
Please note that by looking at these indicators in isolation one can get a sense of direction or a sense of strength of the direction. But, when you combine them, you get whether the direction move is with strength or not. If you are into option trading, you will clearly understand the rational behind it when you look at the trading rules provided in this description. For example if one knows that the direction is bullish (which one can potentially get from RSI or DMI), one can either buy a call or sell a put. But one knows that not only the direction is bullish, but it has the right acceleration (strength of the momentum), then one will assign higher probability of higher profit from buying call than from selling put.
To summarize we have combined indicators to achieve the following
1. Get confirmation from two different indicators on the direction of the price movement (RSI and DMI)
2. Confirm that the direction is clear (Price relative to EMA)
3. Combine with the strength of the direction (ADX)
Direction, clarity of the direction and the strength of the directional movement is a valuable trading indicator in our opinion.
Suggested trading rules
1. Short strangle strategy when the trend is neutral with one's usual option selling quantity. Equal quantity on put and call.
2. Full quantity short put and half quantity short call when the trend is bullish.
3. Full quantity short put and call long when the indicator is very bullish.
4. Vice versa for bearish ( full call short, half put short) and very bearish (full call short, put long)
Suggested to use 5 min timeframe for scalping, 15 min for intraday positions, 1 hour for weekly and monthly positions, and daily/weekly for investments.
The value of this indicator oscillates between +6 to -6. You can tweak the range for V bullish, bullish, bearish, and v bearish. The values in between will default to the neutral zone.

Chuck Dukas Market Phases of Trends (based on 2 Moving Averages)This script is based on the article “Defining The Bull And The Bear” by Chuck Duckas, published in Stocks & Commodities V. 25:13 (14-22); (S&C Bonus Issue, 2007).
The article “Defining The Bull And The Bear” discusses the concepts of “bullish” and “bearish” in relation to the price behavior of financial instruments. Chuck Dukas explains the importance of analyzing price trends and provides a framework for categorizing price activity into six phases. These phases, including recovery, accumulation, bullish, warning, distribution, and bearish, help to assess the quality of the price structure and guide decision-making in trading. Moving averages are used as tools for determining the context preceding the current price action, and the slope of a moving average is seen as an indicator of trend and price phase analysis.
The six phases of trends
// Definitions of Market Phases
recovery_phase = src > ma050 and src < ma200 and ma050 < ma200 // color: blue
accumulation_phase = src > ma050 and src > ma200 and ma050 < ma200 // color: purple
bullish_phase = src > ma050 and src > ma200 and ma050 > ma200 // color: green
warning_phase = src < ma050 and src > ma200 and ma050 > ma200 // color: yellow
distribution_phase = src < ma050 and src < ma200 and ma050 > ma200 // color: orange
bearish_phase = src < ma050 and src < ma200 and ma050 < ma200 // color red
Recovery Phase : This phase marks the beginning of a new trend after a period of consolidation or downtrend. It is characterized by the gradual increase in prices as the market starts to recover from previous losses.
Accumulation Phase : In this phase, the market continues to build a base as prices stabilize before making a significant move. It is a period of consolidation where buying and selling are balanced.
Bullish Phase : The bullish phase indicates a strong upward trend in prices with higher highs and higher lows. It is a period of optimism and positive sentiment in the market.
Warning Phase : This phase occurs when the bullish trend starts to show signs of weakness or exhaustion. It serves as a cautionary signal to traders and investors that a potential reversal or correction may be imminent.
Distribution Phase : The distribution phase is characterized by the market topping out as selling pressure increases. It is a period where supply exceeds demand, leading to a potential shift in trend direction.
Bearish Phase : The bearish phase signifies a strong downward trend in prices with lower lows and lower highs. It is a period of pessimism and negative sentiment in the market.
These rules of the six phases outline the cyclical nature of market trends and provide traders with a framework for understanding and analyzing price behavior to make informed trading decisions based on the current market phase.
60-period channel
The 60-period channel should be applied differently in each phase of the market cycle.
Recovery Phase : In this phase, the 60-period channel can help identify the beginning of a potential uptrend as price stabilizes or improves. Traders can look for new highs frequently in the 60-period channel to confirm the trend initiation or continuation.
Accumulation Phase : During the accumulation phase, the 60-period channel can highlight that the current price is sufficiently strong to be above recent price and longer-term price. Traders may observe new highs frequently in the 60-period channel as the slope of the 50-period moving average (SMA) trends upwards while the 200-period moving average (SMA) slope is losing its downward slope.
Bullish Phase : In the bullish phase, the 60-period channel showing a series of higher highs is crucial for confirming the uptrend. Additionally, traders should observe an upward-sloping 50-period SMA above an upward-sloping 200-period SMA for further validation of the bullish phase.
Warning Phase : When in the warning phase, the 60-period channel can provide insights into whether the current price is weaker than recent prices. Traders should pay attention to the relationship between the price close, the 50-period SMA, and the 200-period SMA to gauge the strength of the phase.
Distribution Phase : In the distribution phase, traders should look for new lows frequently in the 60-period channel, hinting at a weakening trend. It is crucial to observe that the 50-period SMA is still above the 200-period SMA in this phase.
Bearish Phase : Lastly, in the bearish phase, the 60-period channel reflecting a series of lower lows confirms the downtrend. Traders should also note that the price close is below both the 50-period SMA and the 200-period SMA, with the relationship of the 50-period SMA being less than the 200-period SMA.
By carefully analyzing the 60-period channel in each phase, traders can better understand market trends and make informed decisions regarding their investments.
Bollinger Bands with RSI and Volume confirmationThe 'Bollinger Bands with RSI and Volume Confirmation' is an invite-only indicator designed to identify potential buy and sell signals by combining Bollinger Bands, RSI, and volume. This combination aims to provide a clearer picture of market conditions and potential price movements. The indicator is optimized for use on 15-minute timeframes.
Key Features:
1. Bollinger Bands:
- Parameters: The length (default: 20 periods) and the multiplier (default: 2.0) can be adjusted to suit different trading strategies.
- Visualization: The indicator plots the upper, lower, and basis (middle) bands on the 15-minute price chart. It also includes higher timeframe (1-hour) Bollinger Bands.
2. Relative Strength Index (RSI):
- Calculation: The RSI length (default: 21 periods) and source can be customized. The indicator provides an option to choose between SMA and EMA for smoothing the RSI.
3. Volume Confirmation:
- Analysis: The volume moving average length (default: 20 periods) helps confirm signals. Buy and sell signals are only considered valid if the current volume confirms them.
How it Works:
Buy Signal:
- Timeframe and Data Integration: This indicator is used exclusively on the 15-minute chart. It integrates Bollinger Bands data from both the 15-minute and 1-hour charts to enhance the accuracy of bullish or bearish market conditions.
- Bollinger Bands Confluence: When the price reaches the lower band of both the 15-minute and 1-hour Bollinger Bands, it often indicates a stronger oversold condition and a potential support level. This confluence suggests a higher likelihood of a price reversal or bounce back toward the middle or upper band. However, it can also confirm strong bearish momentum.
- RSI Confirmation: To filter out false signals and ensure that the price is likely to move back up rather than continuing downwards, the RSI is used for additional confirmation. The buy signal is only considered if the RSI becomes bullish and crosses above its moving average (RSI-based MA).
- Volume Confirmation: To further validate the potential buy signal, the market volume is analyzed. The indicator checks if there is sufficient volume to support a price reversal. Only if all these conditions align—confluence of Bollinger Bands, bullish RSI, and confirming volume—a buy signal is generated.
- Signal Confirmation Period: The indicator allows a period for all these conditions to align, ensuring a robust and reliable buy signal.
Example Buy Signal:
Sell Signal:
- Timeframe and Data Integration: As with the buy signal, the sell signal is used exclusively on the 15-minute chart. It integrates Bollinger Bands data from both the 15-minute and 1-hour charts to improve the accuracy of bearish market conditions.
- Bollinger Bands Confluence: When the price reaches the upper band of both the 15-minute and 1-hour Bollinger Bands, it often indicates a stronger overbought condition and a potential resistance level. This confluence suggests a higher likelihood of a price reversal downward. However, it can also confirm strong bullish momentum.
- RSI Confirmation: To avoid false signals and ensure that the price is likely to move down rather than continuing upwards, the RSI is used for additional confirmation. The sell signal is only considered if the RSI indicates bearishness and crosses below its moving average (RSI-based MA).
- Volume Confirmation: To validate the potential sell signal, the market volume is analyzed. The indicator checks if there is sufficient volume to support a price reversal downward. Only if all these conditions align—confluence of Bollinger Bands, bearish RSI, and confirming volume—a sell signal is generated.
- Signal Confirmation Period: The indicator allows a period for all these conditions to align, ensuring a robust and reliable sell signal.
Here is an example:
Alerts:
- The indicator includes alert conditions for both buy and sell signals, notifying traders when conditions are met. In order to activate the alerts you must go to TradingView's alerts section and enable buy/sell alerts for an asset.
This indicator uses a multi-faceted approach to signal generationt:
1. Bollinger Bands: This technical analysis tool is used to measure market volatility and identify potential overbought and oversold conditions. By plotting the Bollinger Bands on both 15-minute and 1-hour timeframes, the indicator can detect significant price levels where market reactions are likely.
2. RSI (Relative Strength Index): RSI is utilized to measure the speed and change of price movements. By incorporating an option to choose between SMA and EMA for smoothing, the indicator offers flexibility to adapt to various market conditions. RSI crossing its moving average provides additional confirmation of potential reversals.
3. Volume Analysis: Volume is a critical component in confirming the validity of price movements. The indicator analyzes volume by calculating a moving average (default: 20 periods) to determine if there is sufficient market activity to support the identified signals.
Concepts Underlying Calculations:
- Confluence of Indicators: The primary concept behind this indicator is the confluence of multiple technical indicators. By requiring alignment between Bollinger Bands, RSI, and volume, the indicator filters out false signals and increases the probability of successful trades.
- Timeframe Analysis: Integrating data from multiple timeframes (15-minute and 1-hour) provides a more comprehensive view of market conditions, helping to identify significant support and resistance levels.
- Signal Validation: Each potential signal is subjected to a validation process involving RSI and volume analysis. This ensures that only high-probability signals are generated, reducing the risk of entering trades based on weak or unreliable signals.
This indicator was developed to streamline market analysis and provide a more efficient trading experience. By integrating multiple indicators into a single tool, traders can quickly observe market conditions and make informed decisions without the need to manually check each indicator on separate timeframes. This saves time and provides a clearer sense of how the market is moving, enhancing the overall trading strategy.

Volume Spread Analysis [TANHEF]Volume Spread Analysis: Understanding Market Intentions through the Interpretation of Volume and Price Movements.
█ Simple Explanation:
The Volume Spread Analysis (VSA) indicator is a comprehensive tool that helps traders identify key market patterns and trends based on volume and spread data. This indicator highlights significant VSA patterns and provides insights into market behavior through color-coded volume/spread bars and identification of bars indicating strength, weakness, and neutrality between buyers and sellers. It also includes powerful volume and spread forecasting capabilities.
█ Laws of Volume Spread Analysis (VSA):
The origin of VSA begins with Richard Wyckoff, a pivotal figure in its development. Wyckoff made significant contributions to trading theory, including the formulation of three basic laws:
The Law of Supply and Demand: This fundamental law states that supply and demand balance each other over time. High demand and low supply lead to rising prices until demand falls to a level where supply can meet it. Conversely, low demand and high supply cause prices to fall until demand increases enough to absorb the excess supply.
The Law of Cause and Effect: This law assumes that a 'cause' will result in an 'effect' proportional to the 'cause'. A strong 'cause' will lead to a strong trend (effect), while a weak 'cause' will lead to a weak trend.
The Law of Effort vs. Result: This law asserts that the result should reflect the effort exerted. In trading terms, a large volume should result in a significant price move (spread). If the spread is small, the volume should also be small. Any deviation from this pattern is considered an anomaly.
█ Volume and Spread Analysis Bars:
Display: Volume and/or spread bars that consist of color coded levels. If both of these are displayed, the number of spread bars can be limited for visual appeal and understanding, with the spread bars scaled to match the volume bars. While automatic calculation of the number of visual bars for auto scaling is possible, it is avoided to prevent the indicator from reloading whenever the number of visual price bars on the chart is adjusted, ensuring uninterrupted analysis. A displayable table (Legend) of bar colors and levels can give context and clarify to each volume/spread bar.
Calculation: Levels are calculated using multipliers applied to moving averages to represent key levels based on historical data: low, normal, high, ultra. This method smooths out short-term fluctuations and focuses on longer-term trends.
Low Level: Indicates reduced volatility and market interest.
Normal Level: Reflects typical market activity and volatility.
High Level: Indicates increased activity and volatility.
Ultra Level: Identifies extreme levels of activity and volatility.
This illustrates the appearance of Volume and Spread bars when scaled and plotted together:
█ Forecasting Capabilities:
Display: Forecasted volume and spread levels using predictive models.
Calculation: Volume and Spread prediction calculations differ as volume is linear and spread is non-linear.
Volume Forecast (Linear Forecasting): Predicts future volume based on current volume rate and bar time till close.
Spread Forecast (Non-Linear Dynamic Forecasting): Predicts future spread using a dynamic multiplier, less near midpoint (consolidation) and more near low or high (trending), reflecting non-linear expansion.
Moving Averages: In forecasting, moving averages utilize forecasted levels instead of actual levels to ensure the correct level is forecasted (low, normal, high, or ultra).
The following compares forecasted volume with actual resulting volume, highlighting the power of early identifying increased volume through forecasted levels:
█ VSA Patterns:
Criteria and descriptions for each VSA pattern are available as tooltips beside them within the indicator’s settings. These tooltips provide explanations of potential developments based on the volume and spread data.

Expansion Candles by Alex EntrepreneurHey people! Thanks for using Expansion Candles. I designed this tool to help me identify price runs (expansions) based on consecutive bullish or bearish candle closes and then trade continuations on the lower timeframes. Here's what makes it awesome:
How Does It Work?
An “expansion” is confirmed after multiple closes above the previous candle’s high (in the bull case) or below the previous candle’s low (in the bear case) while also having a higher candle low than the previous candle (in the bull case) or having lower candle high that the previous candle (in the bear case). After an expansion is confirmed, then the indicator will be displayed on the next candle.
You can set the number of required candle closes that confirm an “expansion” by increasing or decreasing the "Required Candles For Valid Expansion" setting.
An expansion will continue until an “invalidation” event occurs this will cause the indicator to stop displaying.
This “invalidation” can either be a lower candle low than the previous candle (in the bull case) and a higher candle high than the previous candle (in the bear case), or a close below the previous candle’s low (in the bull case) or a close above the previous candle’s high (in the bear case).
You can choose whether you want to use candle highs and lows as invalidation or candle closes as invalidation by changing the “Invalidation Type” setting to either “Wick” or “Candle Close”.
Key Features
Price Run Detection : Identify when price is expanding through consecutive bullish or bearish candle closes. You can chose whether a wick or opposite candle close finishes the run.
Timeframe Selection : Select your preferred timeframe for expansion candles and then view the indicator on lower timeframes for precise continuation entries.
Custom Display Options : Tailor the way expansions are shown on your chart. Choose your bullish and bearish colours and then display expansions as coloured candles, background colours, boxes, or arrows.
Sensitivity Adjustment : Adjust the indicator's sensitivity by changing the number of "Required Candles For Valid Expansion" to suit your analysis.
Set Alerts : Detect new bullish or bearish expansions in your favourite instruments with customisable alerts.
Best,
Alex Entrepreneur
Tradr Engulf
Introduction
"Candlesticks" patterns are used to predict price movements. This is engulfing candlestick pattern that is common and very useful in "technical analysis" in this script to identify itautomatically. The most important advantage of this indicator for users is saving time and high precision in identifying patterns. By using these pattern, you can predict price movements more accurately and therefore make better decisions in your trades.
Engulfing : The Engulfing candlestick pattern is a reversal pattern and consists of at least two candles, where one of them completely engulfs the body of the previous or following candle due to high volatility.
For this reason, the term "engulfing" is used for this pattern. This pattern occurs when the price body of a candle encompasses one or more candles before it. Engulfing candles can be bullish or bearish. Bullish Engulfing forms as a reversal candle at the end of a downtrend.
Bullish Engulfing indicates strong buying power and signals the beginning of an uptrend. This pattern is a bullish candle with a long upward body that completely covers the downward body before it. Bearish Engulfing, as a reversal pattern, is a long bearish candle that engulfs the upward candle before it.
Bearish Engulfing forms at the end of an uptrend and indicates the pressure of new sellers and their strong power. Additionally, forming this pattern at resistance levels and the absence of a lower shadow increases its credibility.
