False BreakoutA false breakout is when the price temporarily moves above or below a key support or resistance level, but then later retreats back to the same side as it started.
The “False Breakout” indicator reveals false breakouts in comparison to the previous candle.
In case we're looking to trade the stock for long this would mean that the price of the stock broke the previous low (support) and then got back above that low.
In case we're looking to trade the stock for short then a false breakout would mean the stock broke the previous high (resistance) and then got back below that high.
How to use the indicator?
First choose the direction you're looking to trade, meaning either long or short.
Then choose how strict you want to be about the Falls brakes.
There are three options:
The first option named “All“ means that it's enough that the stock broke the previous level and then get back to the original side.
The second option is “Supporting Change” meaning not only that the stock broke the previous key level (support or resistance), but also the change at the end of the candle is supporting the main direction - meaning the change is positive for long or negative for short.
The third option is “Engulfing”. This is a well-known candle, but to make it clear, in our case “Engulfing” means that not only the stock broke the previous level but it also ended the day on the other side of the candle - higher than the previous high, in case of long, and lower than the previous low, in case of short.
When you choose the level of strictness you determine how many indications you're going to get on the chart.
If you choose the highest level of strictness, meaning “Engulfing”, you would only see the red flags indicating engulfing candles.
If you choose the lowest level of strictness, meaning “All”, you will get more indications on your chart, including every false breakout.
When the direction you're looking for is long, all indications would appear below the candles.
When the direction you're looking for is short, then all indications would appear above the candles.
The Engulfing candles are represented by Red flags, and the Simple breakouts candles are represented by yellow. All colors may be adjusted to your preference.
Explaining the example above:
In the chart above we can see two consolidations. At the end of each consolidation, we can see a candle with an indication from the indicator that points out that this could be the end of the consolidation and the stock might continue its move.
In “consolidation 1” we can see that there is an orange flag below the candle right before the stock began to move up again.
In “consolidation 2” we can see that there is a red flag below the candle, right before the stock began another move.
Wishing you all the best :)
Soldiers Pattern ModifiedThis can be perceived as modified 3 soldiers, relaxed NR4 or even extended harami candlestick pattern.
Works for any instrument and any timeframe.
The idea is to find out any number of candles having their individual highs and lows, all within high and low range of base candle.
The count of soldiers and if they must be of same color, both can be configured.
Additional configurable settings is to add further check of having body of soldiers as well within body of base candle.
Trading strategy: Trade high or low breakout of base candle, having other as stop loss, for a risk reward ratio of 1:2.
Donchain BreakoutIt is a long only strategy.
1. Buy when price breaks out of the upper band.
2. Exit has two options. Option 1 allows you to exit using lower band. Option 2 allows you to exit using basis line.
3. Slippage and commissions are not considered in the return calculation.
Seismic Market Spike Detector v1.0 Seismic Market Spike Detector v1.0
This indicator helps identify spikes in market activity , typified by bars with extreme open / close or high / low prices.
This indicator plots 2 lines. The Blue line simply depicts extreme price movements with in that bar regardless of the initial opening price of the closing price of the bar. This allows you to get an insight into the current volatility of the price at that time in the market. Quite often big price swings with in bars are missed as people pend to tunnel vision on the open or close price - or other indicators derived from open / close.
The Red line is similar to the blue bar as it depicts extreme price movements with in the bar , but it will show the direction the market moved in by the close of the bar - and relatively how much the market moved. This is helpful for spotting breakout price action or short term spikes. Quite often after a breakout the market will restore itself to an equilibrium in the opposite direction. Sometimes this happens with an opposing aggressive spike , some times it makes a steady return to a known price level. Either way its a great time to place entry orders if you are looking to turn a fast profit or alternatively a good warning of forth coming price volatility.
Here are some tips for analysing the red and blue lines :
1)If the red line is pointing upwards , this indicates a sharp rise in the price.
2)If the red line is pointing downwards , this indicates a sharp fall in the price.
3)If the red line is flat but the blue line is spiked in either direction - this indicates the price was volatile with in the bar , but the price closed relatively near to the surrounding price bars. Perhaps a limit / stop triggered by this kind of activity - this is an easy way to determine why and re-enter.
4)If the red and the blue lines are flat - the price is steadily moving with a trend or trading sideways in a confined range.
Momentum_EMABand📢 Reposting Notice
I am reposting this script because my earlier submission was hidden due to description requirements under TradingView’s House Rules. This updated version fully explains the originality, the reason for combining these indicators, and how they work together. Follow me for future updates and refinements.
🆕 Momentum EMA Band, Rule-Based System
Momentum EMA Band is not just a mashup — it is a purpose-built trading tool for intraday traders and scalpers that integrates three complementary technical concepts into a single rules-based breakout & retest framework.
Originality comes from the specific sequence and interaction of these three filters:
Supertrend → Sets directional bias.
EMA Band breakout with retest logic → Times precise entries.
ADX filter → Confirms momentum strength and avoids noise.
This system is designed to filter out weak setups and false breakouts that standalone indicators often fail to avoid.
🔧 How the Indicator Works — Combined Logic
1️⃣ EMA Price Band — Dynamic Zone Visualization
Plots upper & lower EMA bands (default: 9-period EMA).
Green Band → Price above upper EMA = bullish momentum
Red Band → Price below lower EMA = bearish pressure
Yellow Band → Price within band = neutral zone
Acts as a consolidation zone and breakout trigger level.
2️⃣ Supertrend Overlay — Reliable Trend Confirmation
ATR-based Supertrend adapts to volatility:
Green Line = Uptrend bias
Red Line = Downtrend bias
Ensures trades align with the prevailing trend.
3️⃣ ADX-Based No-Trade Zone — Choppy Market Filter
Manual ADX calculation (default: length 14).
If ADX < threshold (default: 20) and price is inside EMA Band → gray background marks low-momentum zones.
🧩 Why This Mashup Works
Supertrend confirms trend direction.
EMA Band breakout & retest validates the breakout’s strength.
ADX ensures the market has enough trend momentum.
When all align, entries are higher probability and whipsaws are reduced.
📈 Example Trade Walkthrough
Scenario: 5-minute chart, ADX threshold = 20.
Supertrend turns green → trend bias is bullish.
Price consolidates inside the yellow EMA Band.
ADX rises above 20 → trend momentum confirmed.
Price closes above the green EMA Band after retesting the band as support.
Entry triggered on candle close, stop below band, target based on risk-reward.
Exit when Supertrend flips red or ADX momentum drops.
This sequence prevents premature entries, keeps trades aligned with trend, and avoids ranging markets.
🎯 Key Features
✅ Multi-layered confirmation for precision trading
✅ Built-in no-trade zone filter
✅ Fully customizable parameters
✅ Clean visuals for quick decision-making

Session Breakouts & Trend Indicator# Session Breakouts & Trend Indicator
This indicator identifies high-probability trading opportunities by tracking key intraday sessions and their breakouts while aligning them with the overall market trend direction.
## What Makes This Indicator Unique
Unlike standard breakout indicators that only identify when price crosses a threshold, this indicator:
- Dynamically identifies and tracks important daily sessions (default: AM 09:00-10:00 and PM 15:00-16:00)
- Determines trend direction using a triple EMA system (20/50/200)
- Shows when breakouts align with the overall trend (higher probability setups)
- Provides visual confirmation with session ranges, breakout levels, and background highlighting
- Includes a comprehensive information panel showing trend/session alignment
## How It Works
The indicator tracks two important daily sessions:
1. **AM Session**: Typically the first hour of trading (default: 09:00-10:00)
2. **PM Session**: Typically the last hour of trading (default: 15:00-16:00)
For each session, it:
- Marks the high and low range
- Establishes breakout levels above/below these ranges
- Detects when price breaks beyond these levels
- Determines if the breakout aligns with the prevailing trend
The trend is calculated using three EMAs (20, 50, 200) for reliable trend identification.
## How To Use
1. Apply the indicator to your chart (works best on 5-minute timeframes)
2. Adjust session times to match your trading schedule if needed
3. Watch for breakouts above session highs (bullish) or below session lows (bearish)
4. Check the information panel to see if the breakout aligns with the trend
5. Enter trades in the direction of trend-aligned breakouts for higher probability setups
6. Set stop losses below the opposite side of the session range
## Settings
- **Session Times**: Customize AM and PM session times
- **EMA Lengths**: Adjust trend determination sensitivity
- **Visualization Options**: Toggle display of sessions, breakouts, and VWAP
- **Alert Settings**: Configure alerts for breakouts and trend-aligned conditions
This indicator is valuable for day traders and swing traders looking for objective entry points with higher probability of success.
Institutional MACD (Z-Score Edition) [VolumeVigilante]📈 Institutional MACD (Z-Score Edition) — Professional-Grade Momentum Signal
This is not your average MACD .
The Institutional MACD (Z-Score Edition) is a statistically enhanced momentum tool, purpose-built for serious traders and breakout hunters . By applying Z-Score normalization to the classic MACD structure, this indicator uncovers statistically significant momentum shifts , enabling cleaner reads on price extremes, trend continuation, and potential reversals.
💡 Why It Matters
The classic MACD is powerful — but raw momentum values can be noisy and relative , especially on volatile assets like BTC/USD . By transforming the MACD line, signal line, and histogram into Z-scores , we anchor these signals in statistical context . This makes the Institutional MACD:
✔️ Timeframe-agnostic and asset-normalized
✔️ Ideal for spotting true breakouts , not false flags
✔️ A reliable tool for detecting momentum divergence and exhaustion
🧪 Key Features
✅ Full Z-Score normalization (MACD, Signal, Histogram)
✅ Highlighted ±Z threshold bands for overbought/oversold zones
✅ Customizable histogram coloring for visual momentum shifts
✅ Built-in alerts for zero-crosses and Z-threshold breaks
✅ Clean overlay with optional display toggles
🔁 Strategy Tip: Mean Reversion Signals with Statistical Confidence
This indicator isn't just for spotting breakouts — it also shines as a mean reversion tool , thanks to its Z-Score normalization .
When the Z-Score histogram crosses beyond ±2, it marks a statistically significant deviation from the mean — often signaling that momentum is overstretched and the asset may be due for a pullback or reversal .
📌 How to use it:
Z > +2 → Price action is in overbought territory. Watch for exhaustion or short setups.
Z < -2 → Momentum is deeply oversold. Look for reversal confirmation or long opportunities.
These zones often precede snap-back moves , especially in range-bound or corrective markets .
🎯 Combine Z-Score extremes with:
Candlestick confirmation
Support/resistance zones
Volume or price divergence
Other mean reversion tools (e.g., RSI, Bollinger Bands)
Unlike the raw MACD, this version delivers statistical thresholds , not guesswork — helping traders make decisions rooted in probability, not emotion.
📢 Trade Smart. Trade Vigilantly.

PumpC Opening Range Breakout (ORB) Stretch RangePumpC ORB Stretch
The PumpC ORB Stretch is a volatility-based indicator that helps traders identify potential breakout zones by analyzing how price typically behaves around the open. This tool is inspired by concepts introduced by Toby Crabel in his well-known book “Day Trading with Short-Term Price Patterns and Opening Range Breakout.”
Rather than predicting market direction, this indicator highlights areas where price is likely to expand based on recent volatility. It is designed for traders who prefer dynamic, data-driven breakout levels over static support and resistance zones.
What Is the "Stretch"?
In Toby Crabel’s framework, the Stretch is the average of the smaller of two price moves:
The distance from the open to the high of the bar
The distance from the open to the low of the bar
This smaller value captures the “quiet side” of the candle and reflects recent price compression. Averaged over multiple periods (commonly 10 daily bars), it creates a baseline to assess how far price may move away from the open under typical market conditions.
How the Indicator Works
The PumpC ORB Stretch follows this process:
Uses a higher timeframe (such as daily) to calculate the open, high, and low.
For each bar, measures the smaller of the two distances: open to high or open to low.
Applies a moving average to the result over a user-defined number of bars (default is 10).
Multiplies the average stretch by customizable levels (e.g., 0.382, 1.0, 2.0).
Plots breakout levels above and below the open of the selected timeframe.
The result is a set of adaptive levels that expand or contract with market volatility.
Customization Options
Stretch Timeframe: Choose the timeframe used for stretch calculation (default: Daily).
Stretch Length: Set the number of bars to include in the moving average.
Breakout Levels: Enable or disable individual levels and define multipliers.
Color Settings: Customize colors for each range level for easy visual distinction.
Plot Style: Circular markers are used to reduce chart clutter and improve readability.
How to Use It
Use plotted levels to anticipate possible breakouts from the open.
Adjust stretch length to reflect short-term or longer-term volatility trends.
Combine this tool with momentum indicators, volume, or price action for confirmation.
Use levels to help guide stop placement or profit targets in breakout strategies.
Important Notes

The indicator does not predict direction; it is a tool for context and structure.
It is recommended that users test and validate this tool in a simulated environment before applying it to live trading.

SSL Channel MTFSSL Channel with MTF support, This eliminates the noise of a basic SSL Channel script which is based on ErwinBeckers SSL Channel. So i have used a Multi Time Frame approach to have a clear confirmation of trend and reduce Noise and False signals unlike basic SSL Channel.
This script can be used to determine.
Support/Resistance
High/Low Breakout
Trend Direction
MA candles for Entry
The high and low sma are plotted as SSL CHANNEL when ever the high and low sma cross each other a direction change is observed.
The direction of SSL channel determines the trend of the price. The length of the channel can be changed as required a low value has a high noise and direction can be determined with low accuracy. Increasing the length of SSL channel has high accuracy trend confirmation.
The MTF SSL Channel uses plot from higher timeframe this helps in using SSL Channel as a Price Action Tool. Price when ever crosses over or below the channel determines a breakout. Price tries to move between the High SMA line and Low SMA Line of the SSL Channel rejection, breakouts can be easily observed on a lower timeframe using SSL Channel Plot from a higher timeframe.
I have used 5min/15min chart with MTF SSL from a 1Hr/4Hr and a length of 5 instead of 10. This helps quick direction changes over a period of 1hr to 4hr. Price is trapped within the High SMA and Low SMA lines of SSL Channel. In addition to SSL High Low and average mid line is plotted to additional reference.
Buy Sell Signals are plotted based on crossover of SMA High and Low.
Candle are Plotted Using a SMA with length of 5. This Candle Plot can be used to make an entry based on direction confirmation of SSL. keep in mind the direction of SSL Plot and the candle must be same. Preferably Entry can made above or below the midline of SSL Channel. The Candle Plot eliminates the Noise of traditional Japanese Candlesticks.
Additionally MACD Crossover and MACD Trend line confirmations can be used to confirm a Buy Sell and Entry signals
Alerts are also plotted accordingly.
ORB with ATR Trailing SL [Bluechip Algos]This is a simple ORB (Opening Range Breakout) Indicator that not only signals breakout directions based on the opening session range but also includes trailing stop levels to manage ongoing trades. Instead of regular fixed Stop loss, we use ATR indicator (ATR based SL) to trail the stop loss that might help in maximizing the profitable trades. This helps especially during the trending days where market moves unidirectionally.
About the Indicator
Opening Range Identification: The indicator defines an initial session timeframe and captures the highest and lowest prices during this period.
Breakout Signals: It signals potential entry points when the price crosses these range boundaries.
Trailing Stop Calculation: Customizable trailing stop-loss based on ATR percentage, helping users lock in profits.
Features
Session Customization: User-defined session for setting the opening range.
Entry Signal Customization: Allows configuration for breakouts on either a closing basis or upon touching the level.
Automatic Stop-Loss Adjustments: Dynamic trailing stop levels that adapt to both long and short entries.
Visual Display: Highlights breakout levels and plots lines representing stop-loss levels.
Understanding the Indicator
Range Calculation: After defining the session, the high and low of the session are locked. The high serves as the upper breakout boundary, and the low as the lower boundary.
Signals (Buy and Sell): The indicator uses crossover conditions:
Buy Signal ("B") when price crosses above the ORB high.
Sell Signal ("S") when price crosses below the ORB low.
Trail Stop Calculation: When a signal is triggered, a trailing stop level is set and updates as the trade progresses:
Long positions have a stop-loss based on a percentage below the last closing price.
Short positions have a stop-loss based on a percentage above the last closing price.
Input Parameters
Session Time (ORB Session Time): Start and end times for setting the ORB range.
Signal Configuration: Choice between "CLOSE" (signal on close) or "TOUCH" (signal as soon as level is touched).
ATR Percentage: Sets the percentage for the trailing stop calculation.

Volume-Based Reversal and Breakout [The_lurker]Indicator Overview:
The "Volume-Based Reversal and Breakout Indicator" is designed for use on the TradingView platform. Its primary function is to identify potential reversal candles using volume and price criteria and to mark significant breakout points. This tool is particularly valuable for traders who incorporate reversal patterns and volume analysis in their trading strategies.
Detailed Functionality:
Customizable Label Color:
Traders can choose the color of the labels that mark breakout points, allowing for personalization and better visibility on different chart backgrounds.
Volume Multiplier Input:
Users can set a 'Volume Multiplier' to define what constitutes significant trading volume. This multiplier is used to compare the current candle's volume with that of the previous candle. A higher volume on the current candle, as defined by this multiplier, is indicative of a significant trading activity.
Reversal Candle Criteria:
The script identifies a candle as a reversal candle if it meets the following conditions:
The closing price of the candle is lower than its opening price, indicating a bearish sentiment.
The trading volume of the candle is greater than the product of the previous candle's volume and the user-set volume multiplier. This implies increased trading activity during the formation of this candle.
The length of the candle's lower tail is greater than its body, suggesting a rejection of lower prices and potential bullish sentiment building up.
Breakout Identification and Marking:
Upon detecting a reversal candle, the indicator draws lines at the high and low of this candle.
These lines represent potential breakout levels. A breakout is confirmed if the price crosses above the high (indicating a bullish breakout) or below the low (indicating a bearish breakout) of the reversal candle.
When a breakout occurs, the indicator places an arrow marker at the breakout point. The direction of the arrow (upwards or downwards) and its color (customizable by the user) indicate the nature of the breakout.
Breakout Alerts:
The indicator includes an alert condition that notifies traders when a breakout occurs. This feature helps traders to quickly react to potential trading opportunities.
Practical Application:
The indicator is best used in markets with distinct volume patterns, as volume is a key component of its analysis.
It can be combined with other technical analysis tools, such as trend lines or moving averages, for additional confirmation of trading signals.
Traders should consider adjusting the volume multiplier based on the typical volume characteristics of the specific asset they are analyzing.
Conclusion:
This "Volume-Based Reversal and Breakout Indicator" is a robust tool that aids traders in identifying potential reversals and breakouts with an emphasis on volume analysis. It's customizable and alert-enabled features make it a versatile addition to a trader's toolkit, suitable for various trading styles and market conditions.

█ How It Works
Trend Line: The trend line is constructed using the closing prices with the influence of volatility metrics. The trend line reacts to sudden price changes based on the trend factor and step settings.
Upper & Lower Bands: These bands are not static; they are dynamically adjusted with the calculated standard deviation and Average True Range (ATR) metrics to offer a more flexible, real-world representation of potential price movements, offering an idea of the market's likely trading range.
█ How to Use
Identifying Trends
The trend line can be used to identify the current market trend. If the price is above the trend line, it indicates a bullish trend. Conversely, if the price is below the trend line, it indicates a bearish trend.
Dynamic Support and Resistance
The upper and lower bands (including the trend line) dynamically change with market volatility, acting as moving targets of support and resistance. This helps set up stop-loss or take-profit levels with a higher degree of accuracy.
Breakout vs. Reversion Strategies
Price movements beyond the bands could signify strong trends, making it ideal for breakout strategies.
Fakeouts
If the price touches one of the bands and reverses direction, it could be a fakeout. Traders may choose to trade against the breakout in such scenarios.
█ Settings
Volatility Period: Defines the look-back period for calculating volatility. Higher values adapt the bands more slowly, whereas lower values adapt them more quickly.
Trend Factor: Adjusts the sensitivity of the trend line. Higher values produce a smoother line, while lower values make it more reactive to price changes.
Trend Step: Controls the pace at which the trend line adjusts to sudden price movements. Higher values lead to a slower adjustment and a smoother line, while lower values result in quicker adjustments.

Open RangeThis is a simple script that will look back a set number of candles at a specified time (example: Ny Open) and find the "High and Low " of the range/ market in the given look back period. It will then draw two lines and the range zone as a box. Breakout traders can use these levels to help find interesting areas for a breakout. Reversal traders can use these levels to help locate false breakouts.
Simple type in your time zone Example: GMT-4
Set the time you want the indicator to draw the start line Example: 8:30am
then set the candle look back Example: 60
Hope this script helps spark some ideas
Happy trading
Volume Positive Negative (VPN)The idea and calculations for the Volume Positive Negative (VPN) indicator were created by Markos Katsanos. Markos wrote about the indicator in the article Detecting High-Volume Breakouts, published in Technical Analysis of Stocks & Commodities April, 2021 (Vol. 39, Issue 5).
The goal of the VPN indicator is to detect breakouts using only volume. The basic idea is to compare volume on up days versus volume on down days. The indicator can oscillate between the range of -100 and 100. Values between 0 and 20 are generally considered bullish, negative are bearish.
When the plotted VPN crosses over what Markos refers to as the critical value, that may indicate a high volume breakout. The critical value can be adjusted between 0 to 20, 10 is the default,
Volume Positive Negative Calculation (VPN)
VPN = (VP - VN) / MAV / Period * 100
VP - sum of positive volume
VN - sum of negative volume
MAV - moving average of volume
Volume is considered positive when the average price is higher than the previous day's price by more than .1 of the ATR (average true range).
Force IndexWhat is the force index ?
The force index is an oscillator used to confirm price breakout strengths and identify potential trends.
It was popularized by A. Elder.
How the force index is computed ?
Knowing that volume is the fuel of a price movement, reliable breakouts and trend continuation are more likely to occur on high volume breakouts. This is why the force index is computed with the intensity of the price movement, and it's volume , using the formula ema13((close(n) - close(n-1)) * volume ) .
How to use the force index
An important change in the force index indicate a strong momentum in the price action.
You can read more about the force index interpretation on Investopedia
Customization
You can display the indicator as an histogram, or as a line chart.
You can change EMA length, although it's recommended to keep it at default value.

Squeeze Momentum Regression Clouds [SciQua]╭──────────────────────────────────────────────╮
☁️ Squeeze Momentum Regression Clouds
╰──────────────────────────────────────────────╯
🔍 Overview
The Squeeze Momentum Regression Clouds (SMRC) indicator is a powerful visual tool for identifying price compression , trend strength , and slope momentum using multiple layers of linear regression Clouds. Designed to extend the classic squeeze framework, this indicator captures the behavior of price through dynamic slope detection, percentile-based spread analytics, and an optional UI for trend inspection — across up to four customizable regression Clouds .
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
╭────────────────╮
⚙️ Core Features
╰────────────────╯
Up to 4 Regression Clouds – Each Cloud is created from a top and bottom linear regression line over a configurable lookback window.
Slope Detection Engine – Identifies whether each band is rising, falling, or flat based on slope-to-ATR thresholds.
Spread Compression Heatmap – Highlights compressed zones using yellow intensity, derived from historical spread analysis.
Composite Trend Scoring – Aggregates directional signals from each Cloud using your chosen weighting model.
Color-Coded Candles – Optional candle coloring reflects the real-time composite score.
UI Table – A toggleable info table shows slopes, compression levels, percentile ranks, and direction scores for each Cloud.
Gradient Cloud Styling – Apply gradient coloring from Cloud 1 to Cloud 4 for visual slope intensity.
Weight Aggregation Options – Use equal weighting, inverse-length weighting, or max pooling across Clouds to determine composite trend strength.
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
╭──────────────────────────────────────────╮
🧪 How to Use the Indicator
1. Understand Trend Bias with Cloud Colors
╰──────────────────────────────────────────╯
Each Cloud changes color based on its current slope:
Green indicates a rising trend.
Red indicates a falling trend.
Gray indicates a flat slope — often seen during chop or transitions.
Cloud 1 typically reflects short-term structure, while Cloud 4 represents long-term directional bias. Watch for multi-Cloud alignment — when all Clouds are green or red, the trend is strong. Divergence among Clouds often signals a potential shift.
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
╭───────────────────────────────────────────────╮
2. Use Compression Heat to Anticipate Breakouts
╰───────────────────────────────────────────────╯
The space between each Cloud’s top and bottom regression lines is measured, normalized, and analyzed over time. When this spread tightens relative to its history, the script highlights the band with a yellow compression glow .
This visual cue helps identify squeeze zones before volatility expands. If you see compression paired with a changing slope color (e.g., gray to green), this may indicate an impending breakout.
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
╭─────────────────────────────────╮
3. Leverage the Optional Table UI
╰─────────────────────────────────╯
The indicator includes a dynamic, floating table that displays real-time metrics per Cloud. These include:
Slope direction and value , with historical Min/Max reference.
Top and Bottom percentile ranks , showing how price sits within the Cloud range.
Current spread width , compared to its historical norms.
Composite score , which blends trend, slope, and compression for that Cloud.
You can customize the table’s position, theme, transparency, and whether to show a combined summary score in the header.
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
╭─────────────────────────────────────────────╮
4. Analyze Candle Color for Composite Signals
╰─────────────────────────────────────────────╯
When enabled, the indicator colors candles based on a weighted composite score. This score factors in:
The signed slope of each Cloud (up, down, or flat)
The percentile pressure from the top and bottom bands
The degree of spread compression
Expect green candles in bullish trend phases, red candles during bearish regimes, and gray candles in mixed or low-conviction zones.
Candle coloring provides a visual shorthand for market conditions , useful for intraday scanning or historical backtesting.
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
╭────────────────────────╮
🧰 Configuration Guidance
╰────────────────────────╯
To tailor the indicator to your strategy:
Use Cloud lengths like 21, 34, 55, and 89 for a balanced multi-timeframe view.
Adjust the slope threshold (default 0.05) to control how sensitive the trend coloring is.
Set the spread floor (e.g., 0.15) to tune when compression is detected and visualized.
Choose your weighting style : Inverse Length (favor faster bands), Equal, or Max Pooling (most aggressive).
Set composite weights to emphasize trend slope, percentile bias, or compression—depending on your market edge.
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
╭────────────────╮
✅ Best Practices
╰────────────────╯
Use aligned Cloud colors across all bands to confirm trend conviction.
Combine slope direction with compression glow for early breakout entry setups.
In choppy markets, watch for Clouds 1 and 2 turning flat while Clouds 3 and 4 remain directional — a sign of potential trend exhaustion or consolidation.
Keep the table enabled during backtesting to manually evaluate how each Cloud behaved during price turns and consolidations.

Auto Channel [SciQua]Auto Channel
Purpose
Auto Channel finds the single best parallel price channel from recent price action and keeps it updated in real time. It uses ZigZag pivots to build candidate channels, scores each candidate for quality, then plots the winner. When price closes outside the channel, the script flags a breakout and can fire alerts.
How it works
1. ZigZag pivots
The script uses TradingView’s TradingView/ZigZag/7 library to generate a stream of swing highs and lows based on a percentage reversal threshold and a leg depth. These pivots are the only points the channel logic evaluates, which keeps the search fast and focused on structure rather than noise.
2. Channel candidates
From the most recent pivots, the script forms all combinations of two swing highs and two swing lows.
It computes a slope for the high line and a slope for the low line and requires that they be nearly parallel within a user-defined tolerance.
3. Quality scoring and selection
For every valid candidate, the script checks the recent pivot segments against the trial channel and computes:
Inside ratio: fraction of tested pivots that sit fully inside the channel after applying the tolerance buffer.
Violation sum: total magnitude of the breaches for any pivots outside the channel.
Current width: distance between upper and lower lines at the current bar.
The “best” channel is chosen by:
1. highest inside ratio
2. then widest current width
3. then smallest violation sum
4. Plot and projection
The upper and lower lines are anchored to the chosen pivot pairs and extend to the left. The script also projects each line to the current bar to compute the live upper and lower channel prices. Those levels drive the breakout checks and alerts.
5. Breakouts and alerts
A breakout is detected when the bar closes above the projected upper line or closes below the projected lower line, after applying the tolerance buffer. Triangle markers highlight fresh breakouts, and you can enable alert conditions to automate notification or strategy handoff.
Inputs:
ZigZag
Price deviation for reversals (%)
Default 0.2. Larger values produce fewer, larger swings. Smaller values produce more, smaller swings.
Pivot legs
Default 2. Controls the lookback depth ZigZag uses to confirm pivots.
ZigZag Color
Visual only.
Tip: If you are not seeing a stable channel, increase the ZigZag percentage to reduce minor swings.
Channel search
Number of recent pivots to consider
Default 12. Higher values search more history and try more channel combinations. Lower values make the search faster and more reactive.
Max slope difference for parallel
Default 0.0005. Maximum allowed difference between the upper and lower line slopes. Smaller values enforce stricter parallelism.
Max price tolerance outside channel
Default 0.0. A buffer added to the channel boundaries during validation and breakout checks. Use this to ignore tiny wicks that poke the lines.
Minimum inside to outside pivots ratio for valid channel (0.00–1.00)
Default 1.00. Require that at least this fraction of checked pivots lie inside the channel. For a more permissive fit, try 0.60 to 0.85.
Styling
Upper Line Color
Lower Line Color
Breakout Above Color
Breakout Below Color
Plots and visuals
Upper channel line
Lower channel line
Triangle markers on the bar that first confirms a close outside the channel, above or below.
Lines extend left from their pivot anchors. Projection to the current bar is used internally to test for breakouts and to set alerts.
Alerts
The script defines two alert conditions:
Close Above Channel
Triggers when the bar closes above the projected upper line plus tolerance.
Close Below Channel
Triggers when the bar closes below the projected lower line minus tolerance.
Practical usage
Trend channels
In a steady trend, a high inside ratio with a moderate width often highlights the dominant channel. Consider trend entries near the lower line in an uptrend or near the upper line in a downtrend, with exits or stops beyond the opposite boundary.
Breakout trades
Combine the channel breakout alert with volume or a separate momentum filter. The tolerance input helps avoid false triggers from small wicks.
Tuning for timeframe and symbol
• Faster markets or lower timeframes usually benefit from a larger ZigZag percentage and a smaller pivot count.
• Slower markets or higher timeframes can use more pivots and a tighter slope difference to enforce cleaner geometry.
Notes and limitations
Channels are derived from ZigZag pivots. If your ZigZag settings change, the detected channel will also change.
The script plots only the single best channel at any time to keep the chart clean.
Breakout markers appear on confirmed bars. For historical bars, markers appear only where a breakout would have been confirmed at that time.
Lines extend left from their anchors. The script projects the lines internally to the current bar for checks and alerts.

FAQ
Why do I not see any channel sometimes?
There may not be a valid pair of highs and lows that pass the slope, inside ratio, and tolerance checks. Loosen the constraints by increasing Max slope difference, lowering Minimum inside ratio, or increasing the ZigZag percentage.
The channel looks too narrow or too wide?
Adjust Number of recent pivots and Minimum inside ratio. A higher inside ratio tends to favor cleaner, sometimes wider channels. A lower ratio may admit narrower, more reactive channels.
How can I reduce false breakout alerts?
Increase Max price tolerance outside channel to ignore small wicks. Add a volume or momentum confirmation in your personal alert workflow.
