HTF Candle Range Box (Fixed to HTF Bars)### **Higher Timeframe Candle Range Box (HTF Box Indicator)**
This indicator visually highlights the price range of the most recently closed higher-timeframe (HTF) candle, directly on a lower-timeframe chart. It dynamically adjusts based on the user-selected HTF setting (e.g., 15-minute, 1-hour) and ensures that the box is displayed only on the bars that correspond to that specific HTF candle’s duration.
For instance, if a trader is on a **1-minute chart** with the **HTF set to 15 minutes**, the indicator will draw a box spanning exactly 15 one-minute candles, corresponding to the previous 15-minute HTF candle. The box updates only when a new HTF candle completes, ensuring that it does not change mid-formation.
---
### **How It Works:**
1. **Retrieves Higher Timeframe Data**
The script uses TradingView’s `request.security` function to pull **high, low, open, and close** values from the **previously completed HTF candle** (using ` ` to avoid repainting). It also fetches the **high and low of the candle before that** (using ` `) for comparison.
2. **Determines Breakout Behavior**
It compares the **last closed HTF candle** to the **one before it** to determine whether:
- It **broke above** the previous high.
- It **broke below** the previous low.
- It **broke both** the high and low.
- It **stayed within the previous candle’s range** (no breakout).
3. **Classifies the Candle & Assigns Color**
- **Green (Bullish)**
- Closes above the previous candle’s high.
- Breaks below the previous candle’s low but closes back inside the previous range **if it opened above** the previous high.
- **Red (Bearish)**
- Closes below the previous candle’s low.
- Breaks above the previous candle’s high but closes back inside the previous range **if it opened below** the previous low.
- **Orange (Neutral/Indecisive)**
- Stays within the previous candle’s range.
- Breaks both the high and low but closes inside the previous range without a clear bias.
4. **Box Placement on the Lower Timeframe**
- The script tracks the **bar index** where each HTF candle starts on the lower timeframe (e.g., every 15 bars on a 1-minute chart if HTF = 15 minutes).
- It **only displays the box on those bars**, ensuring that the range is accurately reflected for that time period.
- The box **resets and updates** only when a new HTF candle completes.
---
### **Key Features & Advantages:**
✅ **Clear Higher Timeframe Context:**
- The indicator provides a structured way to analyze HTF price action while trading in a lower timeframe.
- It helps traders identify **HTF support and resistance zones**, potential **breakouts**, and **failed breakouts**.
✅ **Fixed Box Display (No Mid-Candle Repainting):**
- The box is drawn **only after the HTF candle closes**, avoiding misleading fluctuations.
- Unlike other indicators that update live, this one ensures the trader is looking at **confirmed data** only.
✅ **Flexible Timeframe Selection:**
- The user can set **any HTF resolution** (e.g., 5min, 15min, 1hr, 4hr), making it adaptable for different strategies.
✅ **Dynamic Color Coding for Quick Analysis:**
- The **color of the box reflects the market sentiment**, making it easier to spot trends, reversals, and fake-outs.
✅ **No Clutter – Only Applies to the Relevant Bars:**
- Instead of spanning across the whole chart, the range box is **only visible on the bars belonging to the last HTF period**, keeping the chart clean and focused.
---
### **Example Use Case:**
💡 Imagine a trader is scalping on the **1-minute chart** but wants to factor in **HTF 15-minute structure** to avoid getting caught in bad trades. With this indicator:
- They can see whether the last **15-minute candle** was bullish, bearish, or indecisive.
- If it was **bullish (green)**, they may look for **buying opportunities** at lower timeframes.
- If it was **bearish (red)**, they might anticipate **a potential pullback or continuation down**.
- If the **HTF candle failed to break out**, they know the market is **ranging**, avoiding unnecessary trades.
---
### **Final Thoughts:**
This indicator is a **powerful addition for traders who combine multiple timeframes** in their analysis. It provides a **clean and structured way to track HTF price movements** without cluttering the chart or requiring constant manual switching between timeframes. Whether used for **intraday trading, swing trading, or scalping**, it adds an extra layer of confirmation for trade entries and exits.
🔹 **Best for traders who:**
- Want **HTF structure awareness while trading lower timeframes**.
- Need **confirmation of breakouts, failed breakouts, or indecision zones**.
- Prefer a **non-repainting tool that only updates after confirmed HTF closes**.

JJ Highlight Time Ranges with First 5 Minutes and LabelsTo effectively use this Pine Script as a day trader , here’s how the various elements can help you manage trades, track time sessions, and monitor price movements:
Key Components for a Day Trader:
1. First 5-Minute Highlight:
- Purpose: Day traders often rely on the first 5 minutes of the trading session to gauge market sentiment, watch for opening price gaps, or plan entries. This script draws a horizontal line at the high or low of the first 5 minutes, which can act as a key level for the rest of the day.
- How to Use: If the price breaks above or below the first 5-minute line, it can signal momentum. You might enter a long position if the price breaks above the first 5-minute high or a short if it breaks below the first 5-minute low.
2. Session Time Highlights:
- Morning Session (9:15–10:30 AM): The market often shows its strongest price action during the first hour of trading. This session is highlighted in yellow. You can use this highlight to focus on the most volatile period, as this is when large institutional moves tend to occur.
- Afternoon Session (12:30–2:55 PM): The blue highlight helps you track the mid-afternoon session, where liquidity may decrease, and price action can sometimes be choppier. Day traders should be more cautious during this period.
- How to Use: By highlighting these key times, you can:
- Focus on key breakouts during the morning session.
- Be more conservative in your trades during the afternoon, as market volatility may drop.
3. Dynamic Labels:
- Top/Bottom Positioning: The script places labels dynamically based on the selected position (Top or Bottom). This allows you to quickly glance at the session's start and identify where you are in terms of time.
- How to Use: Use these labels to remind yourself when major time segments (morning or afternoon) begin. You can adjust your trading strategy depending on the session, e.g., being more aggressive in the morning and more cautious in the afternoon.
Trading Strategy Suggestions:
1. Momentum Trades:
- After the first 5 minutes, use the high/low of that period to set up breakout trades.
- Long Entry: If the price breaks the high of the first 5 minutes (especially if there's a strong trend).
- Short Entry: If the price breaks the low of the first 5 minutes, signaling a potential downtrend.
2. Session-Based Strategy:
- Morning Session (9:15–10:30 AM):
- Look for strong breakout patterns such as support/resistance levels, moving average crossovers, or candlestick patterns (like engulfing candles or pin bars).
- This is a high liquidity period, making it ideal for executing quick trades.
- Afternoon Session (12:30–2:55 PM):
- The market tends to consolidate or show less volatility. Scalping and mean-reversion strategies work better here.
- Avoid chasing big moves unless you see a clear breakout in either direction.
3. Support and Resistance:
- The first 5-minute high/low often acts as a key support or resistance level for the rest of the day. If the price holds above or below this level, it’s an indication of trend continuation.
4. Breakout Confirmation:
- Look for breakouts from the highlighted session time ranges (e.g., 9:15 AM–10:30 AM or 12:30 PM–2:55 PM).
- If a breakout happens during a key time window, combine that with other technical indicators like volume spikes , RSI , or MACD for confirmation.
---
Example Day Trader Usage:
1. First 5 Minutes Strategy: After the market opens at 9:15 AM, watch the price action for the first 5 minutes. The high and low of these 5 minutes are critical levels. If the price breaks above the high of the first 5 minutes, it might indicate a strong bullish trend for the day. Conversely, breaking below the low may suggest bearish movement.
2. Morning Session: After the first 5 minutes, focus on the **9:15 AM–10:30 AM** window. During this time, look for breakout setups at key support/resistance levels, especially when paired with high volume or momentum indicators. This is when many institutions make large trades, so price action tends to be more volatile and predictable.
3. Afternoon Session: From 12:30 PM–2:55 PM, the market might experience lower volatility, making it ideal for scalping or range-bound strategies. You could look for reversals or fading strategies if the market becomes too quiet.
Conclusion:
As a day trader, you can use this script to:
- Track and react to key price levels during the first 5 minutes.
- Focus on high volatility in the morning session (9:15–10:30 AM) and **be cautious** during the afternoon.
- Use session-based timing to adjust your strategies based on the time of day.
Enhanced SMA Strategy with Trend Lines & S&R by DaxThe Enhanced SMA Strategy with Trend Lines & Support/Resistance (S&R) by Dax indicator is a technical analysis tool designed to improve trading decisions by combining the simplicity of the Simple Moving Average (SMA) with the insight provided by trend lines and support/resistance levels. This hybrid approach aims to create a more robust and reliable trading strategy.
Key Components:
Simple Moving Average (SMA):
SMA is a basic trend-following indicator that calculates the average of a set of price data over a specified period. It helps identify the direction of the market, such as whether an asset is in an uptrend or downtrend.
The Enhanced SMA Strategy may use multiple SMAs, such as short-term (e.g., 20-period) and long-term (e.g., 50-period), to detect crossovers that signal buy or sell opportunities. For example, a bullish crossover occurs when a short-term SMA crosses above a long-term SMA, indicating a potential buying signal, while a bearish crossover signals a potential sell.
Trend Lines:
Trend lines are drawn on the price chart to visually identify the direction of the market, acting as dynamic support and resistance levels. A trend line is drawn by connecting two or more price points that demonstrate the overall price movement.
Trend lines can help traders see potential breakout or breakdown points. A price breaking above a downtrend line or below an uptrend line often signals a trend reversal.
Support and Resistance (S&R):
Support levels are price levels where an asset tends to find buying interest and stop falling, while Resistance levels are points where selling pressure emerges and prevent the price from rising further.
These levels are critical in determining where price reversals or consolidations are likely to occur. Enhanced S&R indicators can automatically identify these levels and draw horizontal lines at these critical points on the chart.
Combining S&R with SMA can help traders decide whether a breakout or bounce is likely at these levels, increasing the odds of a successful trade.
How It Works:
Trend Identification: The SMA is used to determine the trend direction. A rising SMA indicates an uptrend, while a falling SMA suggests a downtrend.
Signal Generation: The strategy often uses a combination of SMA crossovers (bullish or bearish) along with the confirmation of price action near trend lines and support/resistance levels. For example:
If a price breaks above resistance and the short-term SMA crosses above the long-term SMA, a buy signal is confirmed.
Conversely, if the price breaks below support and the short-term SMA crosses below the long-term SMA, a sell signal is given.
Dynamic Support/Resistance: Trend lines are drawn automatically or manually to spot areas where price might reverse. The Enhanced SMA Strategy checks if the price is close to these levels, providing a more precise entry/exit point based on the broader market context.
Advantages of the Enhanced SMA Strategy with Trend Lines & S&R:
Improved Accuracy: By combining trend-following (SMA) with key levels like trend lines and S&R, the strategy filters out false signals, leading to more reliable trade setups.
Trend Confirmation: The use of trend lines and S&R confirms the broader market context, reducing the risk of trading against the trend or entering at weak price points.
Flexible: This strategy can be applied to various timeframes, from short-term day trading to longer-term swing trading.
Visual Clarity: The combination of trend lines, S&R, and moving averages provides a clear and visually intuitive strategy for identifying key price levels and trend shifts.
How to Use It:
Draw Trend Lines: Identify the most recent price peaks and troughs to draw trend lines, marking the potential resistance and support levels.
Use SMAs: Apply two different-period SMAs to detect the trend (e.g., 20-period and 50-period). Pay attention to crossovers for buy/sell signals.
Watch for Breakouts or Reversals: Monitor how the price behaves at support or resistance levels and the trend lines. A price move beyond these levels, accompanied by a confirming SMA crossover, can signal a strong trade opportunity.
Conclusion:
The Enhanced SMA Strategy with Trend Lines & S&R by Dax is a powerful, multi-layered approach to technical analysis. It enhances the basic SMA strategy by incorporating additional tools like trend lines and support/resistance levels, which help traders make more informed decisions with higher accuracy. This method is suitable for both novice and experienced traders, offering clear trade signals while reducing the risk of false entries.

Market Structure V3Indicator Description:
The Market Structure indicator is a unique and innovative tool for identifying and visualizing key market structures based on dynamic swing highs and lows. This indicator stands apart from similar tools by utilizing a distinct methodology for updating levels and identifying trends, ensuring precision and flexibility in market analysis.
Key Features of Uniqueness:
1. No Fixed Lookback Periods for Extremum Detection:
- Unlike most indicators that rely on a predefined number of candles (lookback period) to determine highs or lows, this script dynamically updates levels based solely on price action.
- A new high (resistance) or low (support) is confirmed only when the closing price breaks above the previous high or below the previous low, representing the last significant extremums .
- This approach eliminates arbitrary lookback-based restrictions, allowing the indicator to adapt seamlessly to different market conditions and timeframes.
2. Dynamic Level Adjustments:
- Levels are recalculated and adjusted in real time as new price action unfolds, providing traders with highly accurate and relevant support and resistance levels.
- The upper and lower bounds serve as dynamic anchors for trend analysis, updating only when a confirmed breakout occurs.
3. Fractal and Trend-Driven Logic:
- The script inherently respects the fractal nature of price movements by focusing on confirmed breakouts of previous significant extremums , avoiding reliance on shorter-term noise.
- This makes the indicator particularly effective for identifying true trend reversals and continuations.
4. Visual Clarity and Structure Mapping:
- The indicator labels the following structural points directly on the chart:
- **Higher Highs (HH)** for uptrend confirmation.
- **Lower Highs (LH)** for potential trend weakening.
- **Lower Lows (LL)** for downtrend confirmation.
- **Higher Lows (HL)** for potential trend reversals.
- Levels and labels are updated dynamically and accurately reflect the market's structural evolution.
5. Clean and Noise-Free Analysis:
- The absence of arbitrary inputs (e.g., lookback periods) ensures the indicator focuses only on meaningful price action, reducing false signals.
- Works seamlessly across all instruments and timeframes without requiring constant parameter adjustments.
6. Highly Adaptable:
- Suitable for any financial market, including stocks, forex, and cryptocurrencies.
- Performs equally well on all timeframes, from intraday to long-term analysis.
How the Indicator Works:
1. Dynamic Level Updates :
- The indicator evaluates price action in real time and identifies significant levels based on breakouts above previous highs or below previous lows.
- Upper Bound (Resistance) : Updated only when the closing price exceeds the previous significant high.
- Lower Bound (Support) : Updated only when the closing price falls below the previous significant low.
2. Trend Determination:
- Identifies and marks structural points (HH, LH, LL, HL) as trends develop.
- Swing points are updated dynamically without relying on fixed lookback parameters, ensuring that levels reflect the true market structure.
3. Confirmation Logic:
- The script uses a user-configurable parameter `Extremum confirmation bars count` to refine the process of confirming significant swing points.
- This ensures flexibility in adapting to different market conditions while maintaining precision in level detection.
Unique Advantages Over Similar Indicators:
1. No Arbitrary Inputs:
- Unlike other indicators that require users to set the number of candles for extremum detection, this script eliminates the need for such settings, relying solely on actual price breakouts.
2. Dynamic Real-Time Adjustments:
- The logic of level updates is event-driven (based on closing prices crossing key levels), making it more reactive and precise compared to static lookback-based calculations.
3. Enhanced Structural Clarity:
- Focuses exclusively on confirmed significant levels , avoiding clutter and ambiguity often seen in lookback-based indicators.
4. Fractal and Self-Adaptive Nature:
- The script inherently respects market fractality, making it effective across all timeframes and market conditions.
Practical Applications:
- Trend Identification:
Helps identify whether the market is in an uptrend, downtrend, or consolidation phase.
- Entry and Exit Points:
Use swing highs and lows as references for entering or exiting positions.
- Support and Resistance Levels:
Dynamic levels provide actionable areas for placing stop-losses and take-profits.
Input Parameters:
- Extremum Confirmation Bars Count:
Adjusts the sensitivity of extremum detection. The higher the value, the more conservative the indicator becomes in confirming levels. Default is `3`.
Chart Setup and Usage Notes:
1. Clean Visualization:
- Ensure a clean chart for better visibility of structural points and levels.
- Do not overlay with additional indicators unless explicitly required.
2. User Guidance:
- Combine this indicator with volume analysis or other confirmation tools to enhance decision-making.

ORB Screener with Trailing SLThis is an extension to our already published script ORB with ATR Trailing SL indicator
Many people requested to add screener to the existing indicator but since it's slowing down the performance heavily, we decided to add this as a separate screener.
Note: This screener does NOT plot the chart and so you want to have both plotting and screener, use both scripts together.
Overview:
The ORB Screener is a TradingView indicator designed to assist traders in identifying breakout opportunities based on the Opening Range Breakout (ORB) strategy. It features multi-symbol screening, customizable session timeframes, and a detailed table for quick visual reference and stock scanning.
The ORB Screener utilizes the ORB strategy to calculate breakout levels for multiple symbols. It identifies the high and low during a specified session (e.g., first 5 minutes after market open) and provides insights on whether the price is above the high (bullish), below the low (bearish), or between the range (neutral).
Additionally, the script calculates and displays the RSI values for each symbol, aiding traders in assessing momentum alongside breakout status.
Note: One can add up to 40 symbols for screening the stocks.
Key Features and Inputs:
ORB Session Time: Define a specific timeframe (e.g., "0915-0920") during which the ORB high and low are calculated. This serves as the foundation for identifying breakouts.
Multi-Symbol Screening: Screen up to 40 symbols at once, enabling you to monitor multiple opportunities without switching charts.
Breakout Validation:
Select from two methods for confirming a breakout: Close (based on closing prices) or Touch (based on intraday highs/lows).
Breakout Status Indicators:
Above High: Indicates a current bullish breakout when the price exceeds the ORB high.
Below Low: Indicates a current bearish breakout when the price falls below the ORB low.
Between Range: Indicates no breakout (price remains within the range).
RSI Integration : Calculates the RSI for each symbol to help traders evaluate momentum alongside breakout signals.
Customizable Table Display:
Position: Place the data table at the top, middle, or bottom of the chart and align it left, center, or right.
Size: Choose from multiple table size options for optimal visibility (Auto, Huge, Large, Normal, Small, Tiny).
Visual Feedback:
Green Background: Indicates a breakout happened at least once above the ORB high.
Red Background: Indicates a breakout happened at least once below the ORB low.
Gray Background: Indicates price is within the ORB range.
Adaptive Kalman Trend Filter (Zeiierman)█ Overview
The Adaptive Kalman Trend Filter indicator is an advanced trend-following tool designed to help traders accurately identify market trends. Utilizing the Kalman Filter—a statistical algorithm rooted in control theory and signal processing—this indicator adapts to changing market conditions, smoothing price data to filter out noise. By focusing on state vector-based calculations, it dynamically adjusts trend and range measurements, making it an excellent tool for both trend-following and range-based trading strategies. The indicator's adaptive nature is enhanced by options for volatility adjustment and three unique Kalman filter models, each tailored for different market conditions.
█ How It Works
The Kalman Filter works by maintaining a model of the market state through matrices that represent state variables, error covariances, and measurement uncertainties. Here’s how each component plays a role in calculating the indicator’s trend:
⚪ State Vector (X): The state vector is a two-dimensional array where each element represents a market property. The first element is an estimate of the true price, while the second element represents the rate of change or trend in that price. This vector is updated iteratively with each new price, maintaining an ongoing estimate of both price and trend direction.
⚪ Covariance Matrix (P): The covariance matrix represents the uncertainty in the state vector’s estimates. It continuously adapts to changing conditions, representing how much error we expect in our trend and price estimates. Lower covariance values suggest higher confidence in the estimates, while higher values indicate less certainty, often due to market volatility.
⚪ Process Noise (Q): The process noise matrix (Q) is used to account for uncertainties in price movements that aren’t explained by historical trends. By allowing some degree of randomness, it enables the Kalman Filter to remain responsive to new data without overreacting to minor fluctuations. This noise is particularly useful in smoothing out price movements in highly volatile markets.
⚪ Measurement Noise (R): Measurement noise is an external input representing the reliability of each new price observation. In this indicator, it is represented by the setting Measurement Noise and determines how much weight is given to each new price point. Higher measurement noise makes the indicator less reactive to recent prices, smoothing the trend further.
⚪ Update Equations:
Prediction: The state vector and covariance matrix are first projected forward using a state transition matrix (F), which includes market estimates based on past data. This gives a “predicted” state before the next actual price is known.
Kalman Gain Calculation: The Kalman gain is calculated by comparing the predicted state with the actual price, balancing between the covariance matrix and measurement noise. This gain determines how much of the observed price should influence the state vector.
Correction: The observed price is then compared to the predicted price, and the state vector is updated using this Kalman gain. The updated covariance matrix reflects any adjustment in uncertainty based on the latest data.
█ Three Kalman Filter Models
Standard Model: Assumes that market fluctuations follow a linear progression without external adjustments. It is best suited for stable markets.
Volume Adjusted Model: Adjusts the filter sensitivity based on trading volume. High-volume periods result in stronger trends, making this model suitable for volume-driven assets.
Parkinson Adjusted Model: Uses the Parkinson estimator, accounting for volatility through high-low price ranges, making it effective in markets with high intraday fluctuations.
These models enable traders to choose a filter that aligns with current market conditions, enhancing trend accuracy and responsiveness.
█ Trend Strength
The Trend Strength provides a visual representation of the current trend's strength as a percentage based on oscillator calculations from the Kalman filter. This table divides trend strength into color-coded segments, helping traders quickly assess whether the market is strongly trending or nearing a reversal point. A high trend strength percentage indicates a robust trend, while a low percentage suggests weakening momentum or consolidation.
█ Trend Range
The Trend Range section evaluates the market's directional movement over a specified lookback period, highlighting areas where price oscillations indicate a trend. This calculation assesses how prices vary within the range, offering an indication of trend stability or the likelihood of reversals. By adjusting the trend range setting, traders can fine-tune the indicator’s sensitivity to longer or shorter trends.
█ Sigma Bands
The Sigma Bands in the indicator are based on statistical standard deviations (sigma levels), which act as dynamic support and resistance zones. These bands are calculated using the Kalman Filter's trend estimates and adjusted for volatility (if enabled). The bands expand and contract according to market volatility, providing a unique visualization of price boundaries. In high-volatility periods, the bands widen, offering better protection against false breakouts. During low volatility, the bands narrow, closely tracking price movements. Traders can use these sigma bands to spot potential entry and exit points, aiming for reversion trades or trend continuation setups.
Trend Based
Volatility Based
█ How to Use
Trend Following:
When the Kalman Filter is green, it signals a bullish trend, and when it’s red, it indicates a bearish trend. The Sigma Cloud provides additional insights into trend strength. In a strong bullish trend, the cloud remains below the Kalman Filter line, while in a strong bearish trend, the cloud stays above it. Expansion and contraction of the Sigma Cloud indicate market momentum changes. Rapid expansion suggests an impulsive move, which could either signal the continuation of the trend or be an early sign of a possible trend reversal.
Mean Reversion: Watch for prices touching the upper or lower sigma bands, which often act as dynamic support and resistance.
Volatility Breakouts: Enable volatility-adjusted sigma bands. During high volatility, watch for price movements that extend beyond the bands as potential breakout signals.
Trend Continuation: When the Kalman Filter line aligns with a high trend strength, it signals a continuation in that direction.
█ Settings
Measurement Noise: Adjusts how sensitive the indicator is to price changes. Higher values smooth out fluctuations but delay reaction, while lower values increase sensitivity to short-term changes.
Kalman Filter Model: Choose between the standard, volume-adjusted, and Parkinson-adjusted models based on market conditions.
Band Sigma: Sets the standard deviation used for calculating the sigma bands, directly affecting the width of the dynamic support and resistance.
Volatility Adjusted Bands: Enables bands to dynamically adapt to volatility, increasing their effectiveness in fluctuating markets.
Trend Strength: Defines the lookback period for trend strength calculation. Shorter periods result in more responsive trend strength readings, while longer periods smooth out the calculation.
Trend Range: Specifies the lookback period for the trend range, affecting the assessment of trend stability over time.

ICT Setup 03 [TradingFinder] Judas Swing NY 9:30am + CHoCH/FVG🔵 Introduction
Judas Swing is an advanced trading setup designed to identify false price movements early in the trading day. This advanced trading strategy operates on the principle that major market players, or "smart money," drive price in a certain direction during the early hours to mislead smaller traders.
This deceptive movement attracts liquidity at specific levels, allowing larger players to execute primary trades in the opposite direction, ultimately causing the price to return to its true path.
The Judas Swing setup functions within two primary time frames, tailored separately for Forex and Stock markets. In the Forex market, the setup uses the 8:15 to 8:30 AM window to identify the high and low points, followed by the 8:30 to 8:45 AM frame to execute the Judas move and identify the CISD Level break, where Order Block and Fair Value Gap (FVG) zones are subsequently detected.
In the Stock market, these time frames shift to 9:15 to 9:30 AM for identifying highs and lows and 9:30 to 9:45 AM for executing the Judas move and CISD Level break.
Concepts such as Order Block and Fair Value Gap (FVG) are crucial in this setup. An Order Block represents a chart region with a high volume of buy or sell orders placed by major financial institutions, marking significant levels where price reacts.
Fair Value Gap (FVG) refers to areas where price has moved rapidly without balance between supply and demand, highlighting zones of potential price action and future liquidity.
Bullish Setup :
Bearish Setup :
🔵 How to Use
The Judas Swing setup enables traders to pinpoint entry and exit points by utilizing Order Block and FVG concepts, helping them align with liquidity-driven moves orchestrated by smart money. This setup applies two distinct time frames for Forex and Stocks to capture early deceptive movements, offering traders optimized entry or exit moments.
🟣 Bullish Setup
In the Bullish Judas Swing setup, the first step is to identify High and Low points within the initial time frame. These levels serve as key points where price may react, forming the basis for analyzing the setup and assisting traders in anticipating future market shifts.
In the second time frame, a critical stage of the bullish setup begins. During this phase, the price may create a false break or Fake Break below the low level, a deceptive move by major players to absorb liquidity. This false move often causes smaller traders to enter positions incorrectly. After this fake-out, the price reverses upward, breaking the CISD Level, a critical point in the market structure, signaling a potential bullish trend.
Upon breaking the CISD Level and reversing upward, the indicator identifies both the Order Block and Fair Value Gap (FVG). The Order Block is an area where major players typically place large buy orders, signaling potential price support. Meanwhile, the FVG marks a region of supply-demand imbalance, signaling areas where price might react.
Ultimately, after these key zones are identified, a trader may open a buy position if the price reaches one of these critical areas—Order Block or FVG—and reacts positively. Trading at these levels enhances the chance of success due to liquidity absorption and support from smart money, marking an opportune time for entering a long position.
🟣 Bearish Setup
In the Bearish Judas Swing setup, analysis begins with marking the High and Low levels in the initial time frame. These levels serve as key zones where price could react, helping to signal possible trend reversals. Identifying these levels is essential for locating significant bearish zones and positioning traders to capitalize on downward movements.
In the second time frame, the primary bearish setup unfolds. During this stage, price may exhibit a Fake Break above the high, causing a brief move upward and misleading smaller traders into incorrect positions. After this false move, the price typically returns downward, breaking the CISD Level—a crucial bearish trend indicator.
With the CISD Level broken and a bearish trend confirmed, the indicator identifies the Order Block and Fair Value Gap (FVG). The Bearish Order Block is a region where smart money places significant sell orders, prompting a negative price reaction. The FVG denotes an area of supply-demand imbalance, signifying potential selling pressure.
When the price reaches one of these critical areas—the Bearish Order Block or FVG—and reacts downward, a trader may initiate a sell position. Entering trades at these levels, due to increased selling pressure and liquidity absorption, offers traders an advantage in profiting from price declines.
🔵 Settings
Market : The indicator allows users to choose between Forex and Stocks, automatically adjusting the time frames for the "Opening Range" and "Trading Permit" accordingly: Forex: 8:15–8:30 AM for identifying High and Low points, and 8:30–8:45 AM for capturing the Judas move and CISD Level break. Stocks: 9:15–9:30 AM for identifying High and Low points, and 9:30–9:45 AM for executing the Judas move and CISD Level break.
Refine Order Block : Enables finer adjustments to Order Block levels for more accurate price responses.
Mitigation Level OB : Allows users to set specific reaction points within an Order Block, including: Proximal: Closest level to the current price. 50% OB: Midpoint of the Order Block. Distal: Farthest level from the current price.
FVG Filter : The Judas Swing indicator includes a filter for Fair Value Gap (FVG), allowing different filtering based on FVG width: FVG Filter Type: Can be set to "Very Aggressive," "Aggressive," "Defensive," or "Very Defensive." Higher defensiveness narrows the FVG width, focusing on narrower gaps.
Mitigation Level FVG : Like the Order Block, you can set price reaction levels for FVG with options such as Proximal, 50% OB, and Distal.
CISD : The Bar Back Check option enables traders to specify the number of past candles checked for identifying the CISD Level, enhancing CISD Level accuracy on the chart.
🔵 Conclusion
The Judas Swing indicator helps traders spot reliable trading opportunities by detecting false price movements and key levels such as Order Block and FVG. With a focus on early market movements, this tool allows traders to align with major market participants, selecting entry and exit points with greater precision, thereby reducing trading risks.
Its extensive customization options enable adjustments for various market types and trading conditions, giving traders the flexibility to optimize their strategies. Based on ICT techniques and liquidity analysis, this indicator can be highly effective for those seeking precision in their entry points.
Overall, Judas Swing empowers traders to capitalize on significant market movements by leveraging price volatility. Offering precise and dependable signals, this tool presents an excellent opportunity for enhancing trading accuracy and improving performance
William Fractals + SignalsWilliams Fractals + Trading Signals
This indicator identifies Williams Fractals and generates trading signals based on price sweeps of these fractal levels.
Williams Fractals are specific candlestick patterns that identify potential market turning points. Each fractal requires a minimum of 5 bars (2 before, 1 center, 2 after), though this indicator allows you to customize the number of bars checked.
Up Fractal (High Point) forms when you have a center bar whose HIGH is higher than the highs of 'n' bars before and after it. For example, with n=2, you'd see a pattern where the center bar's high is higher than 2 bars before and 2 bars after it. The indicator also recognizes patterns where up to 4 bars after the center can have equal highs before requiring a lower high.
Down Fractal (Low Point) forms when you have a center bar whose LOW is lower than the lows of 'n' bars before and after it. For example, with n=2, you'd see a pattern where the center bar's low is lower than 2 bars before and 2 bars after it. The indicator also recognizes patterns where up to 4 bars after the center can have equal lows before requiring a higher low.
Trading Signals:
The indicator generates signals when price "sweeps" these fractal levels:
Buy Signal (Green Triangle) triggers when price sweeps a down fractal. This requires price to go BELOW the down fractal's low level and then CLOSE ABOVE it . This pattern often indicates a failed breakdown and potential reversal upward.
Sell Signal (Red Triangle) triggers when price sweeps an up fractal. This requires price to go ABOVE the up fractal's high level and then CLOSE BELOW it. This pattern often indicates a failed breakout and potential reversal downward.
Customizable Settings:
1. Periods (default: 10) - How many bars to check before and after the center bar (minimum value: 2)
2. Maximum Stored Fractals (default: 1) - How many fractal levels to keep in memory. Older levels are removed when this limit is reached to prevent excessive signals and maintain indicator performance.
Important Notes:
• The indicator checks the actual HIGH and LOW prices of each bar, not just closing prices
• Fractal levels are automatically removed after generating a signal to prevent repeated triggers
• Signals are only generated on bar close to avoid false triggers
• Alerts include the ticker symbol and the exact price level where the sweep occurred
Common Use Cases:
• Identifying potential reversal points
• Finding stop-hunt levels where price might reverse
• Setting stop-loss levels above up fractals or below down fractals
• Trading failed breakouts/breakdowns at fractal levels
Supertrend EMA & KNNSupertrend EMA & KNN
The Supertrend EMA indicator cuts through the noise to deliver clear trend signals.
This tool is built using the good old Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) with a novel of machine learning; KNN (K Nearest Neighbors) breakout detection method.
Key Features:
Effortless Trend Identification: Supertrend EMA simplifies trend analysis by automatically displaying a color-coded EMA. Green indicates an uptrend, red signifies a downtrend, and the absence of color suggests a potential range.
Dynamic Breakout Detection: Unlike traditional EMAs, Supertrend EMA incorporates a KNN-based approach to identify breakouts. This allows for faster color changes compared to standard EMAs, offering a more dynamic picture of the trend.
Customizable Parameters: Fine-tune the indicator to your trading style. Adjust the EMA length for trend smoothing, KNN lookback window for breakout sensitivity, and breakout threshold for filtering noise.
A Glimpse Under the Hood:
Dual EMA Power: The indicator utilizes two EMAs. A longer EMA (controlled by the "EMA Length" parameter) provides a smooth trend direction, while a shorter EMA (controlled by the "Short EMA Length" parameter) triggers color changes, aiming for faster response to breakouts.
KNN Breakout Detection: This innovative feature analyzes price action over a user-defined lookback period (controlled by the "KNN Lookback Length" parameter) to identify potential breakouts. If the price surpasses a user-defined threshold (controlled by the "Breakout Threshold" parameter) above the recent highs, a green color is triggered, signaling a potential uptrend. Conversely, a breakdown below the recent lows triggers a red color, indicating a potential downtrend.
Trading with Supertrend EMA:
Ride the Trend: When the indicator displays green, look for long (buy) opportunities, especially when confirmed by bullish price action patterns on lower timeframes. Conversely, red suggests potential shorting (sell) opportunities, again confirmed by bearish price action on lower timeframes.
Embrace Clarity: The color-coded EMA provides a clear visual representation of the trend, allowing you to focus on price action and refine your entry and exit strategies.
A Word of Caution:
While Supertrend EMA offers faster color changes than traditional EMAs, it's important to acknowledge a slight inherent lag. Breakout detection relies on historical data, and there may be a brief delay before the color reflects a new trend.
To achieve optimal results, consider:
Complementary Tools: Combine Supertrend EMA with other indicators or price action analysis for additional confirmation before entering trades.
Solid Risk Management: Always practice sound risk management strategies such as using stop-loss orders to limit potential losses.
Supertrend EMA is a powerful tool designed to simplify trend identification and enhance your trading experience. However, remember, no single indicator guarantees success. Use it with a comprehensive trading strategy and disciplined risk management for optimal results.
Disclaimer:
While the Supertrend EMA indicator can be a valuable tool for identifying potential trend changes, it's important to note that it's not infallible. Market conditions can be highly dynamic, and indicators may sometimes provide false signals. Therefore, it's crucial to use this indicator in conjunction with other technical analysis tools and sound risk management practices. Always conduct thorough research and consider consulting with a financial advisor before making any investment decisions.
Alboncalc: Top and Bottom Detector - Straight Line ContinuityDescription:
The "Alboncalc: Top and Bottom Detector - Straight Line Continuity" is an innovative indicator for identifying key price reversal points (tops and bottoms) with precision. Unlike traditional indicators that focus on abstract data representations like oscillators or momentum-based lines, this indicator directly overlays the price chart. It draws a continuous line connecting highs and lows (tops and bottoms), providing traders with a clear and immediate visual representation of market swings. The lines automatically adjust in real-time, maintaining a straight path during trend continuations and only shifting when a trend reversal is detected.
Originality and Usefulness:
This indicator stands out from other tools available on TradingView due to its unique ability to maintain a continuous line across price swings, preserving accuracy and visual clarity. Most traditional top-and-bottom detectors merely mark points or provide indicators that are disconnected from price action, making it harder for traders to spot patterns. This script takes a different approach by drawing lines directly on the price chart, offering greater precision and better trend visualization. This innovation is particularly useful for traders who rely on visual cues and price action analysis to make decisions. It simplifies the process of identifying reversal points and trends without needing to rely on lagging indicators.
How It Works:
This indicator detects tops and bottoms based on user-defined periods. When the highest point in a given period is detected, it marks it as a top, and similarly, when the lowest point is detected, it marks it as a bottom. As the price moves, the indicator adjusts the lines to connect consecutive tops and bottoms. If the trend continues in the same direction (e.g., an uptrend), the line remains straight and extends. If a reversal is detected, a new line is drawn to connect the previous bottom (or top) to the new reversal point, providing an accurate visual representation of market trends.
How to Use:
1. Load the Indicator: Add the "Alboncalc: Top and Bottom Detector - Straight Line Continuity" to your chart from the TradingView script library.
2. Customize Settings: Adjust the "Top Period" and "Bottom Period" inputs to fine-tune the sensitivity of top and bottom detection based on your preferred timeframe.
3. Observe Price Action: As the price moves, the indicator will draw lines directly over the price chart, connecting tops and bottoms.
4. Interpret the Lines: Use the continuous lines to identify ongoing trends and potential reversal points. The line remains straight during trend continuation, indicating sustained movement in one direction. A new line signifies a reversal in the trend.
This tool is ideal for traders using trend-following strategies, breakout detection, or those who prefer clean, visual price action analysis (Only Tops and Bottons).
Underlying Concepts:
The core of this indicator is based on the highest high and lowest low concept, which is common in technical analysis. The logic is simple:
- A top is detected when the price reaches a high point compared to a user-defined number of prior candles (i.e., the `top_period`).
- A bottom is detected when the price hits a low point compared to the prior candles (i.e., the `bottom_period`).
When the price continues in the same trend, the line is extended without a break. This behavior ensures that trends are represented in a clear and consistent manner, which helps traders better identify trend continuations and reversals.
Code Breakdown:
```pinescript
//@version=5
indicator("Top and Bottom Detector - Straight Line Continuity", overlay=true)
```
- This initializes the indicator and specifies that it will overlay directly on the price chart.
```pinescript
var int top_period = input.int(5, title="Top Period", minval=1)
var int bottom_period = input.int(5, title="Bottom Period", minval=1)
```
- These inputs allow the user to customize the number of candles used to identify tops and bottoms. A higher period results in fewer but more significant top/bottom detections, while a lower period increases sensitivity.
```pinescript
isTop = ta.highest(top_period) == high
isBottom = ta.lowest(bottom_period) == low
```
- These lines check if the current candle has the highest high or the lowest low in the defined period. If true, the current price is either a top or a bottom.
```pinescript
var line currentLine = na
var float last_price = na
var int last_index = na
var bool isUpTrend = na
```
- These variables store the current line being drawn (`currentLine`), the last detected price (`last_price`), and the direction of the trend (`isUpTrend`). `last_index` tracks where the last top or bottom was detected.
```pinescript
if (isTop or isBottom)
if (not na(last_price))
if ((isTop and isUpTrend) or (isBottom and not isUpTrend))
line.set_xy2(currentLine, bar_index, (isTop ? high : low))
else
currentLine := line.new(x1=last_index, y1=last_price, x2=bar_index, y2=(isTop ? high : low), color=color.yellow, width=2)
last_price := (isTop ? high : low)
last_index := bar_index
isUpTrend := isTop
```
- The `if` block handles the logic of drawing the line. If a top or bottom is detected, and the trend continues (either an uptrend for tops or a downtrend for bottoms), the current line is extended using `line.set_xy2`. If a reversal is detected, a new line is drawn using `line.new`.
- The `last_price` and `last_index` variables are updated after each detection, and the `isUpTrend` flag is set based on whether a top or bottom was found.
Conclusion:
This indicator offers a more precise and visually intuitive way of identifying tops and bottoms directly on the price chart, making it an essential tool for traders focused on price action. Its ability to draw continuous lines through ongoing trends and adjust only upon a reversal makes it superior in terms of visual clarity compared to most conventional indicators.
$TUBR: 7-25-99 Moving Average7, 25, and 99 Period Moving Averages
This indicator plots three moving averages: the 7-period, 25-period, and 99-period Simple Moving Averages (SMA). These moving averages are widely used to smooth out price action and help traders identify trends over different time frames. Let's break down the significance of these specific moving averages from both supply and demand perspectives and a price action perspective.
1. Supply and Demand Perspective:
- 7-period Moving Average (Short-Term) :
The 7-period moving average represents the short-term sentiment in the market. It captures the rapid fluctuations in price and is heavily influenced by recent supply and demand changes. Traders often look to the 7-period SMA for immediate price momentum, with price moving above or below this line signaling short-term strength or weakness.
- Bullish Supply/Demand : When price is above the 7-period SMA, it suggests that buyers are currently in control and demand is higher than supply. Conversely, price falling below this line indicates that supply is overpowering demand, leading to a short-term downtrend.
Is current price > average price in past 7 candles (depending on timeframe)? This will tell you how aggressive buyers are in short term.
- Key Supply/Demand Zones : The 7-period SMA often acts as dynamic support or resistance in a trending market, where traders might use it to enter or exit positions based on how price interacts with this level.
- 25-period Moving Average (Medium-Term) :
The 25-period SMA smooths out more of the noise compared to the 7-period, providing a more stable indication of intermediate trends. This moving average is often used to gauge the market's supply and demand balance over a broader timeframe than the short-term 7-period SMA.
- Supply/Demand Balance : The 25-period SMA reflects the medium-term equilibrium between supply and demand. A crossover between the price and the 25-period SMA may indicate a shift in this balance. When price sustains above the 25-period SMA, it shows that demand is strong enough to maintain an upward trend. Conversely, if the price stays below it, supply is likely exceeding demand.
Is current price > average price in past 25 candles (depending on timeframe)? This will tell you how aggressive buyers are in mid term.
- Momentum Shift : Crossovers between the 7-period and 25-period SMAs can indicate momentum shifts between short-term and medium-term demand. For example, if the 7-period crosses above the 25-period, it often signifies growing short-term demand relative to the medium-term trend, signaling potential buy opportunities. What this crossover means is that if 7MA > 25MA that means in past 7 candles average price is more than past 25 candles.
- 99-period Moving Average (Long-Term):
The 99-period SMA represents the long-term trend and reflects the market's supply and demand over an extended period. This moving average filters out short-term fluctuations and highlights the market's overall trajectory.
- Long-Term Supply/Demand Dynamics : The 99-period SMA is slower to react to changes in supply and demand, providing a more stable view of the market's overall trend. Price staying above this line shows sustained demand dominance, while price consistently staying below reflects ongoing supply pressure.
Is current price > average price in past 99 candles (depending on timeframe)? This will tell you how aggressive buyers are in long term.
- Market Trend Confirmation : When both the 7-period and 25-period SMAs are above the 99-period SMA, it signals a strong bullish trend with demand outweighing supply across all timeframes. If all three SMAs are below the 99-period SMA, it points to a bear market where supply is overpowering demand in both the short and long term.
2. Price Action Perspective :
- 7-period Moving Average (Short-Term Trends):
The 7-period moving average closely tracks price action, making it highly responsive to quick shifts in price. Traders often use it to confirm short-term reversals or continuations in price action. In an uptrend, price typically stays above the 7-period SMA, whereas in a downtrend, price stays below it.
- Short-Term Price Reversals : Crossovers between the price and the 7-period SMA often indicate short-term reversals. When price breaks above the 7-period SMA after staying below it, it suggests a potential bullish reversal. Conversely, a price breakdown below the 7-period SMA could signal a bearish reversal.
- 25-period Moving Average (Medium-Term Trends) :
The 25-period SMA helps identify the medium-term price action trend. It balances short-term volatility and longer-term stability, providing insight into the more persistent trend. Price pullbacks to the 25-period SMA during an uptrend can act as a buying opportunity for trend traders, while pullbacks during a downtrend may offer shorting opportunities.
- Pullback and Continuation: In trending markets, price often retraces to the 25-period SMA before continuing in the direction of the trend. For instance, if the price is in a bullish trend, traders may look for support at the 25-period SMA for potential continuation trades.
- 99-period Moving Average (Long-Term Trend and Market Sentiment ):
The 99-period SMA is the most critical for identifying the overall market trend. Price consistently trading above the 99-period SMA indicates long-term bullish momentum, while price staying below the 99-period SMA suggests bearish sentiment.
- Trend Confirmation : Price action above the 99-period SMA confirms long-term upward momentum, while price action below it confirms a downtrend. The space between the shorter moving averages (7 and 25) and the 99-period SMA gives a sense of the strength or weakness of the trend. Larger gaps between the 7 and 99 SMAs suggest strong bullish momentum, while close proximity indicates consolidation or potential reversals.
- Price Action in Trending Markets : Traders often use the 99-period SMA as a dynamic support/resistance level. In strong trends, price tends to stay on one side of the 99-period SMA for extended periods, with breaks above or below signaling major changes in market sentiment.
Why These Numbers Matter:
7-Period MA : The 7-period moving average is a popular choice among short-term traders who want to capture quick momentum changes. It helps visualize immediate market sentiment and is often used in conjunction with price action to time entries or exits.
- 25-Period MA: The 25-period MA is a key indicator for swing traders. It balances sensitivity and stability, providing a clearer picture of the intermediate trend. It helps traders stay in trades longer by filtering out short-term noise, while still being reactive enough to detect reversals.
- 99-Period MA : The 99-period moving average provides a broad view of the market's direction, filtering out much of the short- and medium-term noise. It is crucial for identifying long-term trends and assessing whether the market is bullish or bearish overall. It acts as a key reference point for longer-term trend followers, helping them stay with the broader market sentiment.
Conclusion:
From a supply and demand perspective, the 7, 25, and 99-period moving averages help traders visualize shifts in the balance between buyers and sellers over different time horizons. The price action interaction with these moving averages provides valuable insight into short-term momentum, intermediate trends, and long-term market sentiment. Using these three MAs together gives a more comprehensive understanding of market conditions, helping traders align their strategies with prevailing trends across various timeframes.
------------- RULE BASED SYSTEM ---------------
Overview of the Rule-Based System:
This system will use the following moving averages:
7-period MA: Represents short-term price action.
25-period MA: Represents medium-term price action.
99-period MA: Represents long-term price action.
1. Trend Identification Rules:
Bullish Trend:
The 7-period MA is above the 25-period MA, and the 25-period MA is above the 99-period MA.
This structure shows that short, medium, and long-term trends are aligned in an upward direction, indicating strong bullish momentum.
Bearish Trend:
The 7-period MA is below the 25-period MA, and the 25-period MA is below the 99-period MA.
This suggests that the market is in a downtrend, with bearish momentum dominating across timeframes.
Neutral/Consolidation:
The 7-period MA and 25-period MA are flat or crossing frequently with the 99-period MA, and they are close to each other.
This indicates a sideways or consolidating market where there’s no strong trend direction.
2. Entry Rules:
Bullish Entry (Buy Signals):
Primary Buy Signal:
The price crosses above the 7-period MA, AND the 7-period MA is above the 25-period MA, AND the 25-period MA is above the 99-period MA.
This indicates the start of a new upward trend, with alignment across the short, medium, and long-term trends.
Pullback Buy Signal (for trend continuation):
The price pulls back to the 25-period MA, and the 7-period MA remains above the 25-period MA.
This indica
tes that the pullback is a temporary correction in an uptrend, and buyers may re-enter the market as price approaches the 25-period MA.
You can further confirm the signal by waiting for price action (e.g., bullish candlestick patterns) at the 25-period MA level.
Breakout Buy Signal:
The price crosses above the 99-period MA, and the 7-period and 25-period MAs are also both above the 99-period MA.
This confirms a strong bullish breakout after consolidation or a long-term downtrend.
Bearish Entry (Sell Signals):
Primary Sell Signal:
The price crosses below the 7-period MA, AND the 7-period MA is below the 25-period MA, AND the 25-period MA is below the 99-period MA.
This indicates the start of a new downtrend with alignment across the short, medium, and long-term trends.
Pullback Sell Signal (for trend continuation):
The price pulls back to the 25-period MA, and the 7-period MA remains below the 25-period MA.
This indicates that the pullback is a temporary retracement in a downtrend, providing an opportunity to sell as price meets resistance at the 25-period MA.
Breakdown Sell Signal:
The price breaks below the 99-period MA, and the 7-period and 25-period MAs are also below the 99-period MA.
This confirms a strong bearish breakdown after consolidation or a long-term uptrend reversal.
3. Exit Rules:
Bullish Exit (for long positions):
Short-Term Exit:
The price closes below the 7-period MA, and the 7-period MA starts crossing below the 25-period MA.
This indicates weakening momentum in the uptrend, suggesting an exit from the long position.
Stop-Loss Trigger:
The price falls below the 99-period MA, signaling the breakdown of the long-term trend.
This can act as a final exit signal to minimize losses if the long-term uptrend is invalidated.
Bearish Exit (for short positions):
Short-Term Exit:
The price closes above the 7-period MA, and the 7-period MA starts crossing above the 25-period MA.
This indicates a potential weakening of the downtrend and signals an exit from the short position.
Stop-Loss Trigger:
The price breaks above the 99-period MA, invalidating the bearish trend.
This signals that the market may be reversing to the upside, and exiting short positions would be prudent.
CPR by NKDCentral Pivot Range (CPR) Trading Strategy:
The Central Pivot Range (CPR) is a widely-used tool in technical analysis, helping traders pinpoint potential support and resistance levels in the market. By using the CPR effectively, traders can better gauge market trends and determine favorable entry and exit points. This guide explores how the CPR works, outlines its calculation, and describes how traders can enhance their strategies using an extended 10-line version of CPR.
What Really Central Pivot Range (CPR) is?
At its core, the CPR consists of three key lines:
Pivot Point (PP) – The central line, calculated as the average of the previous day’s high, low, and closing prices.
Upper Range (R1) – Positioned above the Pivot Point, acting as a potential ceiling where price may face resistance.
Lower Range (S1) – Found below the Pivot Point, serving as a potential floor where price might find support.
Advanced traders often expand on the traditional three-line CPR by adding extra levels above and below the pivot, creating up to a 10-line system. This extended CPR allows for a more nuanced understanding of the market and helps identify more detailed trading opportunities.
Applying CPR for Trading Success
1. How CPR is Calculation
The CPR relies on the previous day's high (H), low (L), and close (C) prices to create its structure:
Pivot Point (PP) = (H + L + C) / 3
First Resistance (R1) = (2 * PP) - L
First Support (S1) = (2 * PP) - H
Additional resistance levels (R2, R3) and support levels (S2, S3) are calculated by adding or subtracting multiples of the previous day’s price range (H - L) from the Pivot Point.
2. Recognizing the Market Trend
To effectively trade using CPR, it’s essential to first determine whether the market is trending up (bullish) or down (bearish). In an upward-trending market, traders focus on buying at support levels, while in a downward market, they look to sell near resistance.
3. Finding Ideal Entry Points
Traders often look to enter trades when price approaches key levels within the CPR range. Support levels (S1, S2) offer buying opportunities, while resistance levels (R1, R2) provide selling opportunities. These points are considered potential reversal zones, where price may bounce or reverse direction.
4. Managing Risk with Stop-Loss Orders
Proper risk management is crucial in any trading strategy. A stop-loss should be set slightly beyond the support level for buy positions and above the resistance level for sell positions, ensuring that losses are contained if the market moves against the trader’s position.
5. Determining Profit Targets
Profit targets are typically set based on the distance between entry points and the next support or resistance level. Many traders apply a risk-reward ratio, aiming for larger potential profits compared to the potential losses. However, if the next resistance and support level is far then middle levels are used for targets (i.e. 50% of R1 and R2)
6. Confirmation Through Other Indicators
While CPR provides strong support and resistance levels, traders often use additional indicators to confirm potential trade setups. Indicators such as moving averages can
help validate the signals provided by the CPR.
7. Monitoring Price Action At CPR Levels
Constantly monitoring price movement near CPR levels is essential. If the price fails to break through a resistance level (R1) or holds firm at support (S1), it can offer cues on when to exit or adjust a trade. However, a strong price break past these levels often signals a continued trend.
8. Trading Breakouts with CPR
When the price breaks above resistance or below support with strong momentum, it may signal a potential breakout. Traders can capitalize on these movements by entering positions in the direction of the breakout, ideally confirmed by volume or other technical indicators.
9. Adapting to Changing Market Conditions
CPR should be used in the context of broader market influences, such as economic reports, news events, or geopolitical shifts. These factors can dramatically affect market direction and how price reacts to CPR levels, making it important to stay informed about external market conditions.
10. Practice and Backtesting for Improvements
Like any trading tool, the CPR requires practice. Traders are encouraged to backtest their strategies on historical price data to get a better sense of how CPR works in different market environments. Continuous analysis and practice help improve decision-making and strategy refinement.
The Advantages of Using a 10-Line CPR System
An extended 10-line CPR system—comprising up to five resistance and five support levels—provides more granular control and insight into market movements. This expanded view helps traders better gauge trends and identify more opportunities for entry and exit. Key benefits include:
R2, S2 Levels: These act as secondary resistance or support zones, giving traders additional opportunities to refine their trade entries and exits.
R3, S3 Levels: Provide an even wider range for identifying reversals or trend continuations in more volatile markets.
Flexibility: The broader range of levels allows traders to adapt to changing market conditions and make more precise decisions based on market momentum.
So in Essential:
The Central Pivot Range is a valuable tool for traders looking to identify critical price levels in the market. By providing a clear framework for identifying potential support and resistance zones, it helps traders make informed decisions about entering and exiting trades. However, it’s important to combine CPR with sound risk management and additional confirmation through other technical indicators for the best results.
Although no trading tool guarantees success, the CPR, when used effectively and combined with practice, can significantly enhance a trader’s ability to navigate market fluctuations.
RSI/MFI Divergence Finder [idahodev]Monitoring RSI (Relative Strength Index) and MFI (Money Flow Index) divergences on a stock or index chart offers several benefits to traders and analysts. Let's break down the advantages:
Comprehensive Market View: Combining both indicators provides a more complete picture of market conditions, as they measure different aspects of price movement. RSI focuses on recent gains/losses relative to price change, while MFI incorporates volume data to assess money flow in and out of a security.
Enhanced Signal Accuracy: When divergences occur simultaneously in both RSI and MFI, it may be considered a stronger signal than if only one indicator showed divergence. This can potentially lead to more reliable trading decisions.
Identification of False Breakouts: Divergences between these indicators and price action can help identify false breakouts or misleading price movements that are not supported by underlying market strength or volume.
More Nuanced Market Understanding: By examining divergent behavior between money flow (MFI) and momentum (RSI), traders gain a more detailed comprehension of the interplay between these factors in shaping market trends.
Early Warning Signs: These divergences can act as early warning signs for potential trend reversals or changes in market sentiment, allowing traders to adjust their strategies proactively.
It's important to note that RSI/MFI divergences should be used as part of a broader trading strategy rather than solely relying on them for buy/sell signals. They can serve as valuable tools for confirming trends, identifying potential turning points, or warning against overbought/oversold conditions.
When using these indicators together, traders must be cautious of false signals, especially in choppy markets or during periods of high volatility. It's crucial to combine this analysis with other technical and fundamental factors before making trading decisions.
In summary, monitoring RSI/MFI divergences may offer a way to gain insights into the underlying strengths and weaknesses of market movements.
This utility differs from other in that it allows for a choke/threshold/sensitivity setting to help weed out noisy signals. This needs to be carefully adjusted per chart.
It also allows for tuning of the MFI smoothing length (number of bars on the current chart) as well as how many previous bars it will take into consideration when calculating RSI and MFI divergences. It will signal when it sees alignment forming between RSI and MFI divergences in a direction. You will likely need to tune this script's settings every few days or at least anytime there is a change in overall market behavior or sustained volatility.
Ultimately, the goal with this script is to provide an additional level of confirmation of weakness or strength. It should be combined with other indicators such as exhaustion, pivots, supply/demand, trendline breaks or tests, and structure changes, to name a few complementary tools or strategies. It's not meant to be a standalone buy/sell signal indicator!

Custom Moving Average Ribbon with EMA Table & Text ColorComprehensive Description of the Custom Moving Average Ribbon with EMA Table & Text Color
The Custom Moving Average Ribbon with EMA Table & Text Color is a highly flexible and customizable indicator designed for traders who use multiple moving averages to assess trends, strength, and potential market reversals. It plots up to 8 moving averages (either SMA, EMA, WMA, or VWMA) on the price chart and displays a table summarizing the moving averages’ values, periods, and colors. The table also allows for the customization of the text color, making it easier to align with your chart’s theme or preference.
Key Features:
Multiple Moving Averages: You can display up to 8 moving averages (MA), each of which can be customized in terms of:
Type: SMA (Simple Moving Average), EMA (Exponential Moving Average), WMA (Weighted Moving Average), or VWMA (Volume-Weighted Moving Average).
Period: Each moving average has a user-defined period, which allows for flexibility depending on your trading style (short-term, medium-term, or long-term).
Enable/Disable: Each moving average can be independently enabled or disabled based on your preference.
Moving Average Ribbon: The indicator visualizes multiple moving averages as a ribbon, giving traders insight into the market's underlying trend. The interaction between these moving averages provides essential signals:
Uptrend: Shorter-term MAs above longer-term MAs, all sloping upward.
Downtrend: Shorter-term MAs below longer-term MAs, sloping downward.
Consolidation: MAs tightly packed, indicating low volatility or a sideways market.
Customizable Table: The indicator includes a table that displays:
The Name of each moving average (e.g., MA 1, MA 2, etc.).
The Period used for each moving average.
The Current Value of each moving average.
Color Coding for easier visual identification on the chart.
Text Color Customization: You can change the text color in the table to match your chart style or to ensure high visibility.
Responsive Design: This indicator works on any time frame, whether you're a day trader, swing trader, or long-term investor, and the table adjusts dynamically as new data comes in.
How to Use the Indicator
a) Trend Identification
The Custom Moving Average Ribbon helps in identifying trends and their strength. Here’s how you can interpret the plotted moving averages:
Uptrend (Bullish):
If the shorter-term moving averages (e.g., 5-period, 10-period) are above the longer-term moving averages (e.g., 50-period, 200-period), and all the MAs are sloping upward, it suggests a strong bullish trend.
The greater the separation between the moving averages, the stronger the uptrend.
Use the table to quickly verify the current value of each MA and confirm that the price is staying above most or all of the MAs.
Downtrend (Bearish):
When shorter-term moving averages are below the longer-term moving averages and all MAs are sloping downward, this indicates a bearish trend.
Greater separation between MAs indicates a stronger downtrend.
Neutral/Consolidating Market:
If the MAs are tightly packed and frequently crossing each other, the market is likely consolidating, and a strong trend is not in play.
In these situations, it’s better to wait for a clearer signal before taking any positions.
b) Reversal Signals
Golden Cross: When a short-term moving average (e.g., 50-period) crosses above a long-term moving average (e.g., 200-period), this is considered a bullish signal, suggesting a possible upward trend.
Death Cross: When a short-term moving average crosses below a long-term moving average, it’s considered a bearish signal, indicating a potential downward trend.
c) Using the Table for Quick Reference
The table allows you to monitor:
The current price value relative to each moving average. If the price is above most MAs, the market is likely in an uptrend, and if below, in a downtrend.
Changes in MA values: If you see values of shorter-term MAs moving closer to or crossing longer-term MAs, this could indicate a weakening trend or a potential reversal.
How to Combine this Indicator with Other Indicators for a Solid Strategy
The Custom Moving Average Ribbon is powerful on its own but can be enhanced when combined with other technical indicators to form a comprehensive trading strategy.
1. Combining with RSI (Relative Strength Index)
How It Works: RSI is a momentum oscillator that measures the speed and change of price movements, typically over 14 periods. It ranges from 0 to 100, with readings above 70 considered overbought and below 30 considered oversold.
Strategy:
Overbought in an Uptrend: If the moving average ribbon indicates an uptrend but the RSI shows the market is overbought (RSI > 70), it could signal a pullback or correction is imminent.
Oversold in a Downtrend: If the moving average ribbon indicates a downtrend but the RSI shows oversold conditions (RSI < 30), a bounce or reversal may be on the horizon.
2. Combining with MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence)
How It Works: MACD tracks the difference between two exponential moving averages, typically the 12-period and 26-period EMAs. It generates buy and sell signals based on crossovers and divergences.
Strategy:
Trend Confirmation: Use the MACD to confirm the direction and momentum of the trend indicated by the moving average ribbon. For example, if the MACD line crosses above the signal line while the shorter-term MAs are above the longer-term MAs, it confirms strong bullish momentum.
Divergences: Watch for divergences between price action and MACD. If price is making higher highs but MACD is making lower highs, it could signal a weakening trend, which you can verify using the moving averages.
3. Combining with Bollinger Bands
How It Works: Bollinger Bands plot two standard deviations above and below a moving average, typically the 20-period SMA. The bands widen during periods of high volatility and contract during periods of low volatility.
Strategy:
Breakout or Reversal: If price action moves above the upper Bollinger Band while the shorter-term MAs are crossing above the longer-term MAs, it confirms a strong breakout. Conversely, if price touches or falls below the lower Bollinger Band and the shorter MAs start crossing below the longer-term MAs, it indicates a potential breakdown.
Mean Reversion: In sideways markets, when the moving averages are tightly packed, Bollinger Bands can help spot mean reversion opportunities (buy near the lower band, sell near the upper band).
4. Combining with Volume Indicators
How It Works: Volume is a crucial confirmation indicator for any trend or breakout. Combining volume with the moving average ribbon can enhance your strategy.
Strategy:
Trend Confirmation: If the price breaks above the moving averages and is accompanied by high volume, it confirms a strong breakout. Similarly, if price breaks below the moving averages on high volume, it signals a strong downtrend.
Divergence: If price continues to trend in one direction but volume decreases, it could indicate a weakening trend, helping you prepare for a reversal.
Example Strategies Using the Indicator
Trend-Following Strategy:
Use the moving average ribbon to identify the main trend.
Combine with MACD or RSI for confirmation of momentum.
Enter trades when the shorter-term MAs confirm the trend and the confirmation indicator (MACD or RSI) aligns with the trend.
Exit trades when the moving averages start converging or when your confirmation indicator shows signs of reversal.
Reversal Strategy:
Wait for significant crossovers in the moving averages (Golden Cross or Death Cross).
Confirm the reversal with divergence in MACD or RSI.
Use Bollinger Bands to fine-tune your entry and exit points based on overbought/oversold conditions.
Conclusion
The Custom Moving Average Ribbon with EMA Table & Text Color indicator provides a robust framework for traders looking to use multiple moving averages to gauge trend direction, strength, and potential reversals. By combining it with other technical indicators like RSI, MACD, Bollinger Bands, and volume, you can develop a solid trading strategy that enhances accuracy, reduces false signals, and maximizes profit potential in various market conditions.
This indicator offers high flexibility with customization options, making it suitable for traders of all levels and strategies. Whether you're trend-following, scalping, or swing trading, this tool provides invaluable insights into market movements.

This is the standard setting for Bollinger Bands, with a 20-period simple moving average (SMA) as the central line and upper/lower bands derived from the standard deviation.
These bands are used to identify volatility. Wider bands indicate higher volatility, while narrower bands indicate low volatility.
200-period BB:
This is a longer-term indicator providing insight into the overall trend and long-term volatility.
The 200-period bands filter out noise and offer a "macro" view of price movements compared to the 20-period bands, which focus on short-term price actions.
⭐ 2. Overlay of Bollinger Bands and SMA:
The script plots the Bollinger Bands along with the SMA (Simple Moving Average) of the 200-period BB. This gives traders both a short-term (20-period) and long-term (200-period) perspective, which is valuable for detecting major trend shifts or key support and resistance zones.
Using multiple time frames (20-period for short-term and 200-period for long-term) can help traders spot both immediate opportunities and overarching trends.
⭐ 3. Candle Coloring Based on Key Conditions:
Bullish Signal (GreenFluroscent): When the price closes above the upper 200-period Bollinger Band, the candle turns green, indicating a potential bullish breakout.
Bearish Signal (RedFluroscent): If the price closes below the lower 200-period Bollinger Band, the candle turns red, suggesting a bearish breakout.
Neutral or Uncertain Market: Candles are gray when the price remains between the upper and lower bands, indicating a lack of a strong directional bias.
This color-coded visualization allows traders to quickly assess market sentiment based on the Bollinger Bands' extremes.
⭐ 4. Strategic Importance of the Setup:
Multi-timeframe Analysis: Combining short-term (20-period) and long-term (200-period) Bollinger Bands enables traders to assess the market's overall volatility and trend strength. The longer-term bands act as a reference for broader trend direction, while the shorter-term bands can signal shorter-term pullbacks or entry/exit points.
Breakout Identification: By color-coding the candles when prices cross either the upper or lower 200-period bands, the script makes it easier to spot potential breakouts. This can be particularly helpful in trading strategies that rely on volatility expansions or trend-following tactics.
⭐ 5. Customization and Flexibility:
Custom Colors: The script uses distinct fluorescent green and red colors to highlight key bullish and bearish conditions, providing clear visual cues.
Simplicity with Flexibility: Despite its simplicity, the script leaves room for customization, allowing traders to adjust the Bollinger Band multipliers or apply different conditions to candle coloring for more nuanced setups.
This script enhances standard Bollinger Band usage by introducing multi-timeframe analysis, breakout signals, and visual cues for trend strength, making it a powerful tool for both trend-following and mean-reversion strategies.
🚀 Conclusion:
This script effectively simplifies volatility analysis by visually marking bullish, bearish, and neutral zones, making it a robust tool for identifying trade opportunities across multiple timeframes. Its dual-band approach ensures both trend-following and mean-reversion strategies are supported.
