Inside Candle StrategyIntroduction
The Inside Candle Breakout Strategy leverages the concept of inside candles as a primary signal for potential breakouts. Unlike common trend-following or scalping strategies, this method focuses on the volatility squeeze indicated by inside candles and aims to capture the momentum that follows these periods of consolidation. The strategy's originality lies in its specific integration of timeframes for signal detection and its application across diverse market conditions without relying on conventional trend indicators.
Strategy Description and Mechanics
Inside Candle Identification: At the heart of this strategy is the detection of inside candles, defined as candles fully contained within the range of the preceding candle. This pattern signifies a temporary balance between buyers and sellers, often preceding significant price movements. The strategy scans for these candles within a user-specified timeframe in the input section of the settings of the strategy, allowing for tailored signal generation based on individual trading preferences.
Entry Points and Market Entries: Upon identifying an inside candle and only once this candle closes, the strategy prepares to enter a trade in the direction of the breakout. Trades are executed in the timeframe selected on the chart, ensuring that entry points are aligned with real-time market movements. This process highlights the strategy's adaptability, making it suitable for various trading styles, from day trading to swing trading.
Overlay Indicator for Enhanced Market Analysis: Accompanying the breakout signals is an overlay indicator comprising two moving averages and a volatility cloud. This feature serves as a secondary tool for market analysis, offering insights into the prevailing market trend and volatility levels. While it doesn't influence the entry or exit signals directly, it provides traders with additional context for refining their decisions, enhancing the strategy's utility. This assistance tool is composed by one moving average and a second line which is calculated adding or subtracting the historical volatility of the asset on the moving average, depending on his momentum.
Strategy Results and Commitment to Realism
Backtesting Protocol: In our commitment to transparency and realism, backtesting results are derived from a dataset that ensures a sufficient number of trades (over 100) to validate the strategy's effectiveness. This approach underscores our dedication to providing traders with reliable and actionable insights.
Risk Management and Trade Sizing: Recognizing the importance of sustainable trading practices, the strategy incorporates strict risk management guidelines. Trades are sized to ensure that only a small percentage of equity is risked on a single trade, adhering to widely accepted risk tolerance levels. The initial account size for this script is set to 10000$.
Strategy Defaults and Justification: The default properties of the strategy, including the risk-reward ratio, average length for moving averages, and other parameters, are carefully chosen based on extensive testing and analysis. These settings represent a balanced approach, aiming to optimize the strategy's performance across a variety of market conditions.
Strategy Components:
- Inside Candles: An inside candle occurs when a candle's high and low are completely contained within the high and low of the previous candle. This pattern indicates a period of consolidation or indecision in the market, often preceding a significant price movement. The strategy detects inside candles based on the user-selected timeframe, allowing traders to capture potential breakouts.
Indicator Overlays:
- Moving Average: A simple moving average (SMA) is calculated over a user-defined length (`Average Length`), providing a dynamic baseline to gauge the market's direction. The strategy offers an option (`Show Moving Average`) to display or hide this moving average on the chart, giving traders control over the visual complexity.
- Volatility Measurement: Alongside the moving average, the strategy assesses market volatility using the standard deviation of the closing prices over the same period defined by the `Average Length`. The moving average is adjusted upwards or downwards by this volatility measure, creating a dynamic channel that reflects the current market conditions.
- Color Gradients for Volatility: The strategy uses a color gradient to fill the area between the moving average and its volatility-adjusted counterpart. This gradient visually represents the volatility level, transitioning from gray (low volatility) to a lighter shade (higher volatility), aiding in the assessment of market sentiment and volatility.
Trading Entries:
- Long Entry: A long position is triggered when the closing price exceeds the high of an inside candle, indicating potential bullish momentum. The strategy places a stop-loss at the low of the inside candle and sets a take-profit level based on the predefined risk-reward ratio (`RR Ratio`).
- Short Entry: Conversely, a short position is initiated when the closing price falls below the low of an inside candle, suggesting bearish pressure. A stop-loss is set at the high of the inside candle, with the take-profit level adjusted according to the risk-reward ratio.
Customization Settings:
- Timeframe: Traders can select the desired timeframe for inside candle detection, tailoring the strategy to fit various trading styles and time horizons.
- RR Ratio: The risk-reward ratio is adjustable, allowing traders to manage the potential risk and return of each trade according to their risk tolerance.
- Average Length: This setting determines the period over which the moving average and volatility are calculated, affecting the sensitivity of the strategy to price movements.
- Visual Settings: Users can customize the appearance of the strategy on their charts, including the colors of the moving average and volatility lines, as well as the line width, enhancing chart readability and personal preference adherence.

Whether you're a seasoned trader or just starting, the "Better RSI" script empowers you with advanced tools to make more informed trading decisions. Use it to identify potential trend reversals, continuation patterns, and RSI-Bollinger Band breakouts in the market.
Fair Value Gap [MyTradingCoder]Introducing the "Fair Value Gap" indicator, a powerful tool designed to identify and visualize areas of potential market gaps where leftover orders may reside. This indicator utilizes price action analysis, specifically focusing on fair value gaps that occur between the current candle and the candle two bars prior.
The Fair Value Gap indicator draws customizable zones on the chart, representing bullish or bearish areas with distinct green or red colors. These zones highlight market gaps where price action has left a void, indicating the possibility of significant order activity in that region.
Key Features:
Liquidity Zone: Utilize the Fair Value Gap zones as areas of liquidity, offering potential entry points for trades.
Support/Resistance Indicator: Configure the indicator to extend beyond the initial breakout or gap fill, allowing it to act as a support/resistance zone indicator.
The Fair Value Gap indicator has several adjustable settings to customize its behavior according to your trading preferences. These settings include:
Invalidation Outcome: Choose how the fair value gap zone is treated when it becomes invalidated. Options include:
-Stop Updating: Maintain the gap zone in its current state without further updates.
-Delete: Completely remove the fair value gap from the screen.
Invalidation Method: Determine the logic that invalidates the fair value gap. Options include:
-Gap Fill: Visually shrink the zone as price action closes the gap until it is completely filled, at which point it gets deleted entirely.
-Number Of Breakouts: Invalidate the gap after a certain number of breaks or flips over the zone's border. Configure the allowed number of breakouts with the "Breakouts Until Invalidation" input.
-Age Of Gap: Invalidate the gap after a specified number of bars have passed since its creation. Set the threshold with the "Bars Until Invalidation" input.
Color Customization: Customize the appearance of the fair value gap zones with various color inputs, including bullish and bearish border colors, middle line color (shared for both bullish and bearish gaps), bullish and bearish background colors.
Line Width: Adjust the width of the border lines and the center line within the fair value gap zone for better visual clarity.
Please note that the Fair Value Gap indicator is a valuable tool but should be used alongside other technical analysis methods to make well-informed trading decisions. It does not guarantee profitable trades but aims to provide insights into potential areas of interest.
Discover opportunities within market gaps and leverage the power of leftover orders with the Fair Value Gap indicator—an indispensable asset in your trading toolkit.
ATR DeltaThe ATR Delta indicator is based on the concept of Average True Range (ATR), which reflects the average price range over a specified period. By calculating the difference between current and previous ATR values, the ATR Delta provides valuable insights into volatility shifts in the market. This information can help traders identify periods of heightened or diminished price movement, enabling them to adjust their strategies accordingly.
The ATR Delta indicator consists of two main calculations:
-- ATR Calculation : The Average True Range (ATR) is calculated using the specified length parameter. It measures the average price range (including gaps) during that period. A larger ATR value indicates higher volatility, while a smaller value indicates lower volatility.
-- ATR Delta Calculation : The ATR Delta is calculated by subtracting the ATR value of the previous bar from the current ATR value. This calculation captures the change in volatility between the two periods, providing a measure of how volatility has evolved.
Positive ATR Delta values indicate an increase in volatility compared to the previous period. It suggests that price movements have expanded, potentially indicating a more active market. On the other hand, negative ATR Delta values indicate a decrease in volatility compared to the previous period. It suggests that price movements have contracted, potentially signaling a calmer or range-bound market.
The ATR Delta indicator uses coloration to visually represent the relationship between the ATR Delta, zero, and a signal line:
-- Green color is assigned when the ATR Delta is positive, above the signal line, and increasing. This coloration suggests a scenario of higher volatility, as the market is experiencing upward momentum in price swings.
-- Red color is assigned when the ATR Delta is negative, below the signal line, and decreasing. This coloration suggests a scenario of lower volatility, as the market is experiencing downward momentum in price swings.
-- Gray color is assigned for other cases when the ATR Delta and signal line relationship does not meet the above conditions.
These colors are reflected in the columns of the ATR Delta as well as the bar coloration.
The ATR Delta indicator includes a signal line, which acts as a reference for interpreting the ATR Delta values. The signal line is calculated as a moving average (EMA) of the ATR Delta over a specified length. It helps smooth out the ATR Delta fluctuations, providing a clearer indication of the underlying trend in volatility changes. When the ATR Delta crosses above the signal line, it may suggest a potential increase in volatility, indicating a market that is becoming more active. Conversely, when the ATR Delta crosses below the signal line, it may suggest a potential decrease in volatility, indicating a market that is becoming less active.
The coloration of the signal line in the ATR Delta indicator helps to differentiate between positive and negative values and provides further insight into market sentiment. When the signal line is positive, indicating increasing volatility, it is colored lime. This color choice reinforces the bullish sentiment and signifies potential opportunities for trend continuation or breakouts. On the other hand, when the signal line is negative, indicating decreasing volatility, it is colored fuchsia. This color choice highlights the bearish sentiment and suggests potential range-bound or consolidation periods. These colors are reflected in the background of the indicator.
The ATR Delta indicator offers several potential applications for traders:
-- Volatility Analysis : The ATR Delta is invaluable for understanding and analyzing volatility dynamics in the market. Traders can observe the changes in ATR Delta values and use them to assess the current level of price movement. This information can help determine the appropriate strategies and risk management approaches.
-- Breakout Strategies : Traders often use the ATR Delta to identify periods of increased volatility, which frequently accompany breakouts. By monitoring the ATR Delta, traders can anticipate potential price breakouts and adjust their entry and exit levels accordingly.
-- Trend Confirmation : Combining the ATR Delta with trend-following indicators allows traders to validate the strength of a trend. Higher ATR Delta values during an uptrend may indicate stronger momentum and a higher likelihood of continuation. Conversely, lower ATR Delta values during a downtrend may suggest a potential consolidation phase or trend reversal.
Limitations :
-- Lagging Indicator : The ATR Delta indicator is based on historical data and calculates the difference between current and previous ATR values. As a result, it may lag behind real-time market conditions. Traders should be aware of this delay and consider it when making trading decisions. It is advisable to combine the ATR Delta with other indicators or price action analysis for a more comprehensive assessment of market conditions.
-- Parameter Sensitivity : The ATR Delta indicator's effectiveness can be influenced by the selection of its parameters, such as the length of the ATR and signal line. Different market conditions may require adjustments to these parameters to better capture volatility changes. Traders should carefully test and optimize the indicator's parameters to align with the characteristics of the specific market or asset they are trading.
-- Market Regime Changes : The ATR Delta indicator assumes that volatility changes occur gradually. However, in rapidly changing market regimes or during news events, volatility can spike or drop abruptly, potentially rendering the indicator less effective. Traders should exercise caution and consider using additional tools or techniques to identify and adapt to such market conditions.
The ATR Delta indicator is a valuable tool for traders seeking to analyze and monitor volatility dynamics in the market. By calculating the difference between current and previous ATR values, it provides insights into changes in price movement and helps identify periods of increased or decreased volatility. Traders can leverage the ATR Delta to fine-tune their strategies, validate trend strength, and identify potential breakout opportunities. However, it is essential to recognize the limitations of the indicator, including its lagging nature and sensitivity to parameter selection. By combining the ATR Delta with other technical analysis tools and applying sound risk management practices, traders can enhance their decision-making process and potentially improve their trading outcomes.
Capiba Ultimate Suite (RSI, MA Cloud & Volatility)
🇬🇧 English
Summary
This indicator, Capiba Ultimate Suite, is a powerful compilation of various open-source technical analysis tools, refined and integrated into a single, cohesive, and functional package. The goal is to provide a complete system with clear entry and exit signals, ideal for traders operating in trending and volatile markets.
The combination of a custom momentum oscillator (Ultimate RSI), a moving average cloud for trend definition, and a volatility oscillator for range analysis transforms this script into a true trading suite.
Disclaimer: This indicator is most effective in markets with a defined trend (bullish or bearish) and may generate less reliable signals during periods of strong consolidation.
Components and How to Use
Ultimate RSI with Crossover Signals (Entries and Exits)
What it is: A variation of the classic RSI, designed to be more reactive to price movements.
Entry Signals (Buy): A green arrow (▲) appears below the candle when the Ultimate RSI line crosses above its momentum line (EMA). This is a signal of a potential start of an upward move.
Exit Signals (Sell): A red arrow (▼) appears above the candle when the Ultimate RSI crosses below its momentum line. This is a signal of potential weakening or trend reversal.
Moving Average Cloud (Trend Filter)
What it is: A cloud formed by the space between a short-term moving average (default 55) and a long-term one (default 233).
How to use for signal validation:
Uptrend: When the cloud is green (Short MA > Long MA), buy signals (▲) are strengthened. Sell signals can be seen as partial profit-taking.
Downtrend: When the cloud is red (Short MA < Long MA), sell signals (▼) are strengthened. Buy signals should be treated with extreme caution as they are against the main trend.
Candle Coloring (Quick Momentum Reading)
Lime Green: Strong bullish momentum (RSI > 50 and above its EMA).
Red: Strong bearish momentum (RSI < 50 and below its EMA).
Blue: Overbought level reached.
Yellow: Oversold level reached.
Volatility Ruler (Breakout Analysis)
What it is: The green (high) and red (low) lines mark the range of the last 'N' candles. The Vol: X.XX label on the right measures the current volatility against its historical average.
How to use:
Vol < 1.00: Contracting volatility ("Squeeze"). The market is "coiling the spring." Watch for an impending breakout of the range lines.
Vol > 1.00: Expanding volatility. Confirms the strength of a breakout that has already occurred. Very high values may indicate exhaustion.
Use the ruler to identify false breakouts: a candle closing outside the line but with a very low Vol value is more likely to be a false signal.

How to use it (playbooks)
A) Daily scan workflow
Run on Daily for your VN watchlist.
Turn Composite (Σ) alert on with Σ≥2 or ≥3 to reduce noise.
When a bar fires Σ (or a fav combo like STL + BB↑), drop to 60-min to time entries.
B) Breakout quality check
Look for 52W together with BB↑, TAC, and OBV.
If WER/ND appear near highs → downgrade the breakout.
C) Spring/UTAD reversals
If SPR fires near major support and RBd confirms → long bias with stop below spring low.
If UTD + WER/RS↑ near resistance → short/fade with stop above UTAD high.
D) Accumulation basing
During bases, you want CLS, OBV, TGV, STL, NR7.
A pocket pivot (PIV) can be your early add; manage risk below base lows.
Tuning tips
Too many signals? Raise stealthVolZ to 5.5–6, evrVolZ to 3.5, use Σ≥3.
Fast movers? Lower bbwZthr to −1.0 (less strict squeeze), keep trend filter on.
Illiquid tickers? Keep MAD z-scores on, increase lookbacks (e.g., lenZ=120).
Limitations & good habits
First lenZ bars on a new symbol are less reliable (incomplete z-window).
Some ideas (VWAP magnet, close auction spikes, ETF/foreign flows, options skew) need intraday/external feeds — not included here.
Pine can’t “screen” across the whole market; set alerts or cycle your watchlist.
Quick troubleshooting
Compilation errors: make sure you’re on Pine v6; don’t nest functions in if blocks; each var int must be declared on its own line.
No shapes firing: check trend filter (maybe price is below SMA and you’re waiting for bullish signals), and verify thresholds aren’t too strict.
Hurst Exponent Adaptive Filter (HEAF) [PhenLabs]📊 PhenLabs - Hurst Exponent Adaptive Filter (HEAF)
Version: PineScript™ v6
📌 Description
The Hurst Exponent Adaptive Filter (HEAF) is an advanced Pine Script indicator designed to dynamically adjust moving average calculations based on real time market regimes detected through the Hurst Exponent. The intention behind the creation of this indicator was not a buy/sell indicator but rather a tool to help sharpen traders ability to distinguish regimes in the market mathematically rather than guessing. By analyzing price persistence, it identifies whether the market is trending, mean-reverting, or exhibiting random walk behavior, automatically adapting the MA length to provide more responsive alerts in volatile conditions and smoother outputs in stable ones. This helps traders avoid false signals in choppy markets and capitalize on strong trends, making it ideal for adaptive trading strategies across various timeframes and assets.
Unlike traditional moving averages, HEAF incorporates fractal dimension analysis via the Hurst Exponent to create a self-tuning filter that evolves with market conditions. Traders benefit from visual cues like color coded regimes, adaptive bands for volatility channels, and an information panel that suggests appropriate strategies, enhancing decision making without constant manual adjustments by the user.
🚀 Points of Innovation
Dynamic MA length adjustment using Hurst Exponent for regime-aware filtering, reducing lag in trends and noise in ranges.

Candle Channel█ OVERVIEW
The "Candle Channel" indicator is a versatile technical analysis tool that plots a price channel based on the Simple Moving Average (SMA) of candlestick midpoints. The channel bands, calculated based on candlestick volatility, form dynamic support and resistance levels that adapt to price movements. The script generates signals for reversals from the bands and SMA breakouts, making it useful for both short-term and long-term traders. By adjusting the SMA length, the channel can vary in nature—from a wide channel encapsulating price movement to narrower support/resistance or trend-following bands. The channel width can be further customized using a scaling parameter, allowing adaptation to different trading styles and markets.
█ MECHANISM
Band Calculation
The indicator is based on the following calculations:
Candlestick Midpoint: Calculated as the arithmetic average of the candle’s high and low prices: (high + low) / 2.
Simple Moving Average (SMA): The average of candlestick midpoints over a specified length (default: 20 candles), forming the channel’s centerline.
Average Candle Height: Calculated as the average difference between the high and low prices (high - low) over the same SMA length, serving as a measure of market volatility.
Band Scaling: The user specifies a percentage of the average candle height (default: 200%), which is multiplied by the average height to create an offset. The upper band is SMA + offset, and the lower band is SMA - offset.Example: For an average candle height of 10 points and 200% scaling, the offset is 20 points, meaning the bands are ±20 points from the SMA.
Channel Characteristics: The SMA length determines the channel’s dynamics. Shorter SMA values (10–30) create a wide channel that contains price movement, ideal for scalping or short-term trading. Longer SMA values (above 30, e.g., 50–100) transform the channel into narrower support/resistance or trend-following bands, suitable for longer-term analysis. Band scaling further adjusts the channel width to match market volatility.
Signals
Reversal from Bands: Signals are generated when the price closes outside the band (above the upper or below the lower) and then returns to the channel, indicating a potential trend reversal.
SMA Breakout: Signals are generated when the price crosses the SMA upward (bullish signal) or downward (bearish signal), suggesting potential trend changes.
Visualization
Centerline: The SMA of candlestick midpoints, displayed as a thin line.
Channel Bands: Upper and lower channel boundaries, with customizable colors.
Fill: Options include a gradient (smooth color transition between bands) or solid color. The fill can also be disabled for greater clarity.
█ FEATURES AND SETTINGS
SMA Length: Determines the moving average period (default: 20). Values of 10–30 are suitable for a wide channel containing price movement, ideal for short-term timeframes. Longer values (e.g., 50–100) create narrower support/resistance or trend-following bands, better suited for higher timeframes.
Band Scaling: Percentage of the average candle height (default: 200%). Adjusts the channel width to match market volatility—smaller values (e.g., 50–100%) for narrower bands, larger values (e.g., 200–300%) for wider channels.
Fill Type: Gradient, solid, or no fill, allowing customization to user preferences.
Colors: Options to change the colors of bands, fill, and signals for better readability.
Signals: Options to enable/disable reversal signals from bands and SMA breakout signals.
█ HOW TO USE
Add the script to your chart in TradingView by clicking "Add to Chart" in the Pine Editor.
Adjust input parameters in the script settings:
SMA Length: Set to 10–30 for a wide channel containing price movement, suitable for scalping or short-term trading. Set above 30 (e.g., 50–100) for narrower support/resistance or trend-following bands.
Band Scaling: Adjust the channel width to market volatility. Smaller values (50–100%) for tighter support/resistance bands, larger values (200–300%) for wider channels containing price movement.
Fill Type and Colors: Choose a gradient for aesthetics or a solid fill for clarity.
Analyze signals:
Reversal Signals: Triangles above (bearish) or below (bullish) candles indicate potential reversal points.
SMA Breakout Signals: Circles above (bearish) or below (bullish) candles indicate trend changes.
Test the indicator on different instruments and timeframes to find optimal settings for your trading style.
█ LIMITATIONS
The indicator may generate false signals in highly volatile or consolidating markets.
On low-liquidity charts (e.g., exotic currency pairs), the bands may be less reliable.
Effectiveness depends on properly matching parameters to the market and timeframe.
Multi Pivot Point & Central Pivot Range - Nadeem Al-QahwiThis indicator combines four advanced trading modules into one flexible and easy-to-use script:
Traditional Pivot Points:
Calculates classic support and resistance levels (PP, R1–R5, S1–S5) based on previous session data. Ideal for identifying key turning points and mapping out the daily, weekly, or monthly structure.
Camarilla Levels:
Provides six upper and lower pivot levels (H1–H6, L1–L6) derived from volatility and closing price formulas. Especially effective for intraday reversal, mean reversion, and finding overbought/oversold extremes.
Central Pivot Range (CPR):
Plots the median, top, and bottom of the value area each session. CPR width instantly highlights whether the market is likely to trend (narrow CPR) or remain range-bound (wide CPR).
Developing CPR projects the evolving range for the current period—essential for real-time analysis and pre-market planning.
Dynamic Zone Levels (DZL):
Automatically detects and highlights clusters of pivots to reveal high-probability support/resistance zones, filtering out market “noise.”
DZL alerts notify you whenever price breaks or retests these key areas, making it easier to spot momentum trades and avoid false signals.
Key Features:
Multi-timeframe flexibility: Use with daily, weekly, monthly, yearly, or custom timeframes—even rare ones like biyearly and decennial.
Modular design: Activate or hide any system (Traditional, Camarilla, CPR, DZL) as you need.
Bilingual interface: Every setting and label is shown in both English and Arabic.
Full customization: Control visibility, color, style, and placement for every level and label.
Historical depth: Plot up to 5,000 pivot/zones back for deep analysis and backtesting.
Smart alerts: Get instant notifications on true S/R breakouts or retests (from DZL).
How to Use:
Trend Trading:
Watch for a very narrow CPR to identify potential trending days—trade in the breakout direction above/below the CPR.
Range Trading:
When CPR is wide, expect sideways movement. Fade reversals at R1/S1 or within the CPR boundaries.
Breakouts:
Use DZL alerts to capture momentum as price breaks or retests dynamic support/resistance zones.
Multi-Timeframe Confluence:
Combine CPR and pivot levels from multiple timeframes for higher-probability entries and exits.
All calculations and logic are fully open.
Expansion Triangle [TradingFinder] MegaPhone Broadening🔵 Introduction
The Expanding Triangle, also known as the Broadening Formation, is one of the key technical analysis patterns that clearly reflects growing market volatility, increasing indecision among participants, and the potential for sharp price explosions.
This pattern is typically defined by a sequence of higher highs and lower lows, forming within two diverging trendlines. Unlike traditional triangles that converge to a breakout point, the expanding triangle pattern becomes wider over time, leaving no precise apex for a breakout to occur.
From a price action perspective, the pattern represents a prolonged tug-of-war between buyers and sellers, where neither side has taken control yet. Each aggressive swing opens the door to new opportunities whether it's a trend reversal, range trading, or a momentum breakout. This dual nature makes the pattern highly versatile across market conditions, from exhausted trend ends to volatile consolidation zones.
The custom-built indicator for this pattern uses a combination of smart algorithms and detailed analysis of swing dynamics to automatically detect expanding triangles and highlight low-risk entry points.
Traders can use this tool to capitalize on high-probability setups from shorting near the upper edge of the structure with confirmation, to trading bearish breakouts during trend continuations, or entering long positions near the lower boundary during bullish reversals. The chart examples included in this article demonstrate these three highly practical trading scenarios in live market conditions.
A major advantage of this indicator lies in its structural filtering engine, which analyzes the behavior of each price leg in the triangle. With four adjustable filter levels from Very Aggressive, which highlights all potential patterns, to Very Defensive, which only triggers when price actually touches the triangle's trendlines the indicator ensures that only structurally sound and verified setups appear on the chart, reducing noise and false signals significantly.
Long Setup :
Short Setup :
🔵 How to Use
The pattern typically forms in conditions of heightened uncertainty and volatility, where price swings generate a series of higher highs and lower lows. The expanding triangle consists of three key legs bounded by diverging trendlines. The indicator intelligently analyzes each leg's direction and angle to determine whether a valid pattern is forming.
At the core of the indicator’s logic is its leg filtering system, which controls the quality of the pattern and filters out weak or noisy setups. Four structural filter modes are available to suit different trading styles and risk preferences. In Very Aggressive mode, filters are disabled, and the indicator detects any pattern purely based on the sequence of swing points.
This mode is ideal for traders who want to see everything and apply their own discretion.
In Aggressive mode, the indicator checks whether each new leg extends no more than twice the length of the previous one. If a leg overshoots excessively, the structure is invalidated.
In Defensive mode, the filter enforces a minimum movement requirement each leg must move at least 2% of the previous one. This prevents the formation of shallow, weak patterns that visually resemble triangles but lack substance.
The strictest setting, Very Defensive, combines all previous filters and additionally requires the price to physically touch the triangle’s trendlines before issuing a signal. This ensures that setups only appear when real market interaction with key structural levels has occurred, not based on assumptions or geometry alone. This mode is ideal for traders seeking maximum precision and minimal risk.
🟣 Bullish Setup
A bullish setup within the Expanding Triangle pattern occurs when price revisits the lower support boundary after a series of broad swings typically near the third leg of the formation. This area often represents a shift in momentum, where sellers begin to lose strength and buyers prepare to take control.
Ideally, the setup is accompanied by a bullish reversal candle (e.g. doji, pin bar, or engulfing) near the lower trendline. If the Very Defensive filter is active, the indicator will only issue a signal if price makes a confirmed touch on the trendline and reacts from that level. This significantly improves signal accuracy and filters out premature entries.
After confirmation, traders may choose to enter a long position on the bullish candle or shortly afterward. A logical stop-loss is placed just below the recent swing low within the pattern. The target can be set at or near the upper trendline, or projected using the full height of the triangle added to the breakout point. On higher timeframes, this reversal often marks the beginning of a strong uptrend.
🟣 Bearish Setup
A bearish setup forms when price climbs toward the upper resistance trendline, usually as the third leg completes. This is where buyers often begin to show exhaustion, and sellers step in with strength providing an ideal low-risk entry point for short positions.
As with the bullish setup, if the Candle Confirmation filter is enabled, the indicator will only show a signal when a bearish reversal candle forms at the point of contact. If Defensive or Very Defensive filters are also active, the setup must meet strict criteria of proportionate leg movement and an actual trendline touch to qualify.
Once confirmed, traders can enter on the reversal candle, placing a stop-loss slightly above the recent high. The target can be set at the lower trendline or calculated based on the triangle's full height, projected downward. This setup is particularly useful at the end of weak bullish trends or in volatile market tops.
🔵 Settings
🟣 Logic Settings
Pivot Period : Defines how many bars are analyzed to identify swing highs and lows. Higher values detect larger, slower structures, while lower values respond to faster patterns. The default value of 13 offers a balanced sensitivity.
Pattern Filter :
Very Aggressive : Detects all patterns based on point sequence with no structural checks.
Aggressive : Ensures each leg is no more than 2x the size of the previous one.
Defensive : Requires each leg to be at least 2% the size of the previous leg.
Very Defensive : The strictest level; only confirms patterns when price touches trendlines.
Candle Confirmation : When enabled, the indicator requires a valid confirmation candle (doji, pin bar, engulfing) at the interaction point with the trendline before issuing a signal. This reduces false entries and improves entry precision.
🟣 Alert Settings
Alert : Enables alerts for SSS.
Message Frequency : Determines the frequency of alerts. Options include 'All' (every function call), 'Once Per Bar' (first call within the bar), and 'Once Per Bar Close' (final script execution of the real-time bar). Default is 'Once per Bar'.
Show Alert Time by Time Zone : Configures the time zone for alert messages. Default is 'UTC'.
🔵 Conclusion
The Expanding Triangle pattern, with its wide structure and volatility-driven nature, represents chaos but also opportunity. For traders who can read its behavior, it provides some of the most powerful setups for reversals, breakouts, and range-based trades. While the pattern may seem messy at first glance, it is built on clear logic and when properly detected, it offers high-probability opportunities.
This indicator doesn’t just draw expanding triangles it intelligently evaluates their structural quality, validates price interaction through candle confirmation, and allows the trader to fine-tune the detection logic through adjustable filter levels. Whether you’re a reversal trader looking for a turning point, or a breakout trader hunting momentum, this tool adapts to your strategy.
In volatile or uncertain markets, where fakeouts and sudden shifts are common, this indicator can become a cornerstone of your trading system helping you turn volatility into structured, high-quality opportunities.
Volume Overbought/Oversold Zones📊 What You’ll See on the Chart
Red Background or Red Triangle ABOVE a Candle
🔺 Means: Overbought Volume
→ Volume on that bar is much higher than average (as defined by your settings).
→ Suggests strong activity, possible exhaustion in the trend or an emotional spike.
→ It’s a warning: consider watching for signs of reversal, especially if price is already stretched.
Green Background or Green Triangle BELOW a Candle
🔻 Means: Oversold Volume
→ Volume on that bar is much lower than normal.
→ Suggests the market may be losing momentum, or few sellers are left.
→ Could signal an upcoming reversal or recovery if confirmed by price action.
Orange Line Below the Candles (Volume Moving Average)
📈 Shows the "normal" average volume over the last X candles (default is 20).
→ Helps you visually compare each bar’s volume to the average.
Gray Columns (Actual Volume Bars)
📊 These are your regular volume bars — they rise and fall based on how active each candle is.
🔍 What This Indicator Does (In Simple Words)
This indicator looks at trading volume—which is how many shares/contracts were traded in a given period—and compares it to what's considered "normal" for recent history. When volume is unusually high or low, it highlights those moments on the chart.
It tells you:
• When volume is much higher than normal → market might be overheated or experiencing a buying/selling frenzy.
• When volume is much lower than normal → market might be quiet, potentially indicating lack of interest or indecision.
These conditions are marked visually, so you can instantly spot them.
💡 How It Helps You As a Trader
1. Spotting Exhaustion in Trends (Overbought Signals)
If a market is going up and suddenly volume spikes way above normal, it may mean:
• The move is getting crowded (lots of buyers are already in).
• A reversal or pullback could be near because smart money may be taking profits.
Trading idea: Wait for high-volume up bars, then look for price weakness to consider a short or exit.
2. Identifying Hidden Opportunities (Oversold Signals)
If price is falling but volume drops unusually low, it might mean:
• Panic is fading.
• Sellers are losing energy.
• A bounce or trend reversal could happen soon.
Trading idea: After a volume drop in a downtrend, watch for bullish price patterns or momentum shifts to consider a buy.
3. Confirming or Doubting Breakouts
Volume is critical for confirming breakouts:
• If price breaks a key level with strong volume, it's more likely to continue.
• A breakout without volume could be a fake-out.
This indicator highlights volume surges that can help you confirm such moves.
📈 How to Use It in Practice
• Combine it with candlestick patterns, support/resistance, or momentum indicators.
• Use the background colors or shapes as a visual cue to pause and analyze.
• Adjust the sensitivity to suit fast-moving markets (like crypto) or slow ones (like large-cap stocks).
Initial balance - weeklyWeekly Initial Balance (IB) — Indicator Description
The Weekly Initial Balance (IB) is the price range (High–Low) established during the week’s first trading session (most commonly Monday). You can measure it over the entire day or just the first X hours (e.g. 60 or 120 minutes). Once that session ends, the IB High and IB Low define the key levels where the initial weekly range formed.
Why Measure the Weekly IB?
Week-Opening Sentiment:
Monday’s range often sets the tone for the rest of the week. Trading above the IB High signals bullish control; trading below the IB Low signals bearish control.
Key Liquidity Zones:
Large institutions tend to place orders around these extremes, so you’ll frequently see tests, breakouts, or rejections at these levels.
Support & Resistance:
The IB High and IB Low become natural barriers. Price will often return to them, bounce off them, or break through them—ideal spots for entries and exits.
Volatility Forecast:
The width of the IB (High minus Low) indicates whether to expect a volatile week (wide IB) or a quieter one (narrow IB).
Significance of IB Levels
Breakout:
A clear break above the IB High (for longs) or below the IB Low (for shorts) can ignite a strong trending move.
Fade:
A rejection off the IB High/Low during low momentum (e.g. low volume or pin-bar formations) offers a high-probability reversal trade.
Mid-Point:
The 50% level of the IB range often “magnetizes” price back to it, providing entry points for continuation or reversal strategies.
Three Core Monday IB Strategies
A. Breakout (Open-Range Breakout)
Entry: Wait for 1–2 candles (e.g. 5-minute) to close above IB High (long) or below IB Low (short).
Stop-Loss: A few pips below IB High (long) or above IB Low (short).
Profit-Target: 2–3× your risk (Reward:Risk ≥ 2:1).
Best When: You spot a clear impulse—such as a strong pre-open volume spike or news-driven move.
B. Fade (Reversal at Extremes)
Entry: When price tests IB High but shows weakening momentum (shrinking volume, upper-wick candles), enter short; vice versa for IB Low and longs.
Stop-Loss: Just beyond the IB extreme you’re fading.
Profit-Target: Back toward the IB mid-point (50% level) or all the way to the opposite IB extreme.
Best When: Monday’s action is range-bound and lacks a clear directional trend.
C. Mid-Point Trading
Entry: When price returns to the 50% level of the IB range.
In an up-trend: buy if it bounces off mid-point back toward IB High.
In a down-trend: sell if it reverses off mid-point back toward IB Low.
Stop-Loss: Just below the nearest swing-low (for longs) or above the nearest swing-high (for shorts).
Profit-Target: To the corresponding IB extreme (High or Low).
Best When: You see a strong initial move away from the IB, followed by a pullback to the mid-point.
Usage Steps
Configure your session: Measure IB over your chosen Monday timeframe (whole day or first X hours).
Choose your strategy: Align Breakout, Fade, or Mid-Point entries with the current market context (trend vs. range).
Manage risk: Keep risk per trade ≤ 1% of account and maintain at least a 2:1 Reward:Risk ratio.
Backtest & forward-test: Verify performance over multiple Mondays and in a paper-trading environment before going live.

Key Recent Highs and LowsKey Recent Highs & Lows — Session‐Aware Market Structure
TL;DR
This tool plots the most important intraday price extremes for every U.S.‑equity trading segment—Early Premarket • Western Premarket • Regular Hours • Post‑Market Hours • Yesterday’s Range—and labels them so you can trade break‑outs, retests and mean‑reversion with instant context.
📐 Theory & Why These Levels Matter
Liquidity Pools
Visible session extremes attract resting orders (stop‑losses, take‑profits, opening prints). Price often accelerates into them and reacts at them.
Market Memory
The previous day’s high/low is a widely‑watched pivot for gap fills, overnight inventory corrections and multi‑day breakouts.
Mean‑Reversion Windows
Statistically, pre‑ and post‑market ranges are thin; an aggressive spike outside those bands often retraces when full liquidity returns.
Break‑Out Confirmation
A true breakout isn’t just a tick above RTH‑high—it usually closes or at least consolidates above the prior extreme. Seeing all bands lets you gauge whether a push is “real” or just probing thinner sessions.
Put simply, these levels help you decide:
Break‑out ➜ trade in the direction of expansion past a session extreme with follow‑through.
Fade/Mean‑Revert ➜ fade a spike that tags an extreme without commitment (e.g., hits Western‑Premkt‑High then stalls before RTH).
🔍 What the Script Draws
Session (UTC‑4 EST) Default Color / Style Typical Use‑Case
Early Premarket 4 – 7 AM Thick semi‑transparent orange line detect overnight retail spikes / fade plays
Western Premarket 7 – 9 : 30 AM Dashed orange‑red breakout watch as U.S. brokers open
Regular Session (RTH) 9 : 30 – 16 : 00 Bold teal dotted line core intraday structure; classic highs/lows
Post‑Market 16 – 23 : 59 Soft indigo band after‑hours news moves, earnings fades
Previous‑Day RTH Solid teal gap‑fill targets, trend continuation filters
(All colors, thicknesses and transparencies are editable in the settings.)
✨ Features
Real‑Time Updates
Levels refresh tick‑by‑tick inside their own session—no repainting later.
One‑Click Visibility Toggles
Show or hide any session extreme independently.
Clean Auto‑Labels
Optional right‑edge tags (“RTH High”, “Premkt Low”, etc.) keep your chart readable even when lines overlap.
Automatic Daily Reset
At midnight Eastern, buffers clear and yesterday’s extremes roll into the “Prev‑Day” pair.
Zero‑Noise Design
Transparencies and line styles are tuned so you can overlay on any symbol / timeframe without drowning candles.
📈 How to Trade with It
Intraday Breakout Strategy
Mark confluence (e.g., price pushes through Western Premkt High and Yesterday’s High).
Wait for a pullback that holds above the reclaimed band.
Enter with stop under that session line; target next band or measured‑move.
Fade / Mean‑Reversion
Pre‑market headline sends price 5 % above Early Premkt High.
Volume dries up before RTH open.
Short into exhaustion; cover near Western Premkt High or VWAP.
Gap‑Fill & Trend Days
Cash open gaps above Prev‑Day High.
If first 15‑min candle closes back inside yesterday’s range, bias shifts to downside fade.
If it holds above, treat gap as breakout and track RTH High extensions.
Pair it with volume‑profile, VWAP, or momentum oscillators for even higher‑confidence setups.

This comprehensive trading indicator uses a combination of trend-following, pattern recognition, and momentum-based conditions to help you spot potential buy and sell opportunities. By adjusting the input settings, you can fine-tune it to match your specific trading strategy, making it a versatile tool for different market conditions.
Signal Reliability Based on Condition Count
The reliability of the buy/sell signals increases as more conditions are met. Here's a breakdown of the probabilities:
1. 1-3 Conditions Met: Lower Probability
o Signals that meet only 1-3 conditions tend to have lower reliability and are considered less probable. These signals may represent false positives or weaker market movements, and traders should approach them with caution.
2. 4 Conditions Met: More Reliable Signal
o When 4 conditions are met, the signal becomes more reliable. This indicates that multiple indicators or market patterns are aligning, increasing the likelihood of a valid buy/sell opportunity. While not foolproof, it's a stronger indication that the market may be moving in a particular direction.
3. 5-6 Conditions Met: Strong Signal
o A signal meeting 5-6 conditions is considered a strong signal. This indicates a well-confirmed move, with several technical indicators and market factors aligning to suggest a higher probability of success. These are the signals that traders often prioritize.
4. 7+ Conditions Met: Rare and High-Confidence Signal
o Signals that meet 7 or more conditions are rare and should be considered high-confidence signals. These represent a significant alignment of multiple factors, and while they are less frequent, they are highly reliable when they do occur. Traders can be more confident in acting on these signals, but they should still monitor market conditions for confirmation.
________________________________________
You can adjust the number of conditions as needed, but this breakdown should give a clear structure on how the signal strength correlates with the number of conditions met!

### OVERVIEW
**Anchored Darvas Box** lets you drop a single timestamp on your chart and build a Darvas-style consolidation zone forward from that exact candle. The indicator freezes the first user-defined number of bars to establish the range, verifies that price respects that range for another user-defined number of bars, then waits for the first decisive breakout. The resulting rectangle captures every tick of the accumulation phase and the exact moment of expansion—no manual drawing, complete timestamp precision.
---
### HISTORICAL BACKGROUND
Nicolas Darvas’s 1950s box theory tracked institutional accumulation by hand-drawing rectangles around tight price ranges. A trade was triggered only when price escaped the rectangle.
The anchored version preserves Darvas’s logic but pins the entire sequence to a user-chosen candle: perfect for analysing a market open, an earnings release, FOMC minute, or any other catalytic bar.
---
### ALGORITHM DETAIL
1. **ANCHOR BAR**
*You provide a timestamp via the settings panel.* The script waits until the chart reaches that bar and records its index as **startBar**.
2. **RANGE DEFINITION — BARS 1-7**
• `rangeHigh` = highest high of bars 1-7 plus optional tolerance.
• `rangeLow` = lowest low of bars 1-7 minus optional tolerance.
3. **RANGE VALIDATION — BARS 8-14**
• Price must stay inside ` `.
• Any violation aborts the test; no box is created.
4. **ARMED STATE**
• If bars 8-14 hold the range, two live guide-lines appear:
– **Green** at `rangeHigh`
– **Red** at `rangeLow`
• The script is now “armed,” waiting indefinitely for the first true breakout.
5. **BREAKOUT & BOX CREATION**
• **Up breakout** =`high > rangeHigh` → rectangle drawn in **green**.
• **Down breakout**=`low < rangeLow` → rectangle drawn in **red**.
• Box extends from **startBar** to the breakout bar and never updates again.
• Optional labels print the dollar and percentage height of the box at its left edge.
6. **OPTIONAL COOLDOWN**
• After the box is painted the script can stay silent for a user-defined number of bars, letting you study the fallout without another range immediately arming on top of it.
---
### INPUT PARAMETERS
• **ANCHOR TIME** – Precise yyyy-mm-dd HH:MM:SS that seeds the sequence.
• **BARS TO DEFINE RANGE** – Default 7; affects both definition and validation windows.
• **OPTIONAL TOLERANCE** – Absolute price buffer to ignore micro-wicks.
• **COOLDOWN BARS AFTER BREAKOUT** – Pause length before the indicator is allowed to re-anchor (set to zero to disable).
• **SHOW BOX DISTANCE LABELS** – Toggle to print Δ\$ and Δ% on every completed box.
---
### USER WORKFLOW
1. Add the indicator, open settings, and set **ANCHOR TIME** to the candle you care about (e.g., “2025-04-23 09:30:00” for NYSE open).
2. Watch live as the script:
– Paints the seven-bar range.
– Draws validation lines.
– Locks in the box on breakout.
3. Use the box boundaries as structural stops, targets, or context for further trades.
---
### PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS
• **OPENING RANGE BREAKOUTS** – Anchor at the first second of the session; capture the initial 7-bar range and trade the first clean break.
• **EVENT STUDIES** – Anchor at a news candle to measure immediate post-event volatility.
• **VOLUME PROFILE FUSION** – Combine the anchored box with VPVR to see if the breakout occurs at a high-volume node or a low-liquidity pocket.
• **RISK DISCIPLINE** – Stop-loss can sit just inside the opposite edge of the anchored range, enforcing objective risk.
---
### ADVANCED CUSTOMISATION IDEAS
• **MULTIPLE ANCHORS** – Clone the indicator and anchor several boxes (e.g., London open, New York open).
• **DYNAMIC WINDOW** – Switch the 7-bar fixed length to a volatility-scaled length (ATR percentile).
• **STRATEGY WRAPPER** – Turn the indicator into a `strategy{}` script and back-test anchored boxes on decades of data.

### FINAL THOUGHTS
Anchored Darvas Boxes give you Darvas’s timeless range-break methodology anchored to any candle of interest—perfect for dissecting openings, economic releases, or your own bespoke “important” bars with laboratory precision.
Amihud Liquidity RatioCalculates liquidity as a sort of moving average over time
The Amihud Illiquidity Ratio (ILLIQ) measures the price impact of trading volume. It's calculated as the absolute daily return divided by the daily dollar volume:
𝐼𝐿𝐿𝐼𝑄ₜ = |𝑅ₜ| / 𝑉𝑂𝐿𝐷ₜ
Where:
|𝑅ₜ| is the absolute value on return day t
𝑉𝑂𝐿𝐷ₜ is the dollar trading volume on day t
Here's how you can incorporate this indicator into your analysis:
1. Identifying Liquidity Regimes:
High Liquidity (Low Indicator Values): When the indicator is consistently low, it suggests a market or asset where it's generally easier to enter and exit positions without significant slippage. This might be a more favorable environment for strategies that rely on tight spreads and efficient order execution.
Low Liquidity (High Indicator Values): When the indicator is consistently high or spiking, it signals periods of lower liquidity. This can lead to:
Increased Volatility: Fewer participants and larger bid-ask spreads can amplify price movements.
Higher Slippage: Executing large orders might result in getting a worse price than expected.
Gap Risk: Significant price gaps can occur between trading sessions due to a lack of continuous trading interest.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. Confirming Trends and Breakouts:
Trend Confirmation:
Uptrend with Increasing Liquidity (Falling Amihud): A healthy uptrend often sees increasing participation and ease of trading. A falling Amihud during an uptrend can provide confidence in the trend's sustainability.
Uptrend with Decreasing Liquidity (Rising Amihud): An uptrend accompanied by rising Amihud might be less stable. It could suggest that the price increase is driven by fewer participants and might be more prone to reversals.
The same logic applies to downtrends, but in reverse.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Breakout Confirmation:
Breakout with Increasing Liquidity (Falling Amihud): A breakout accompanied by increasing liquidity (falling Amihud) can suggest strong conviction and a higher probability of the breakout being sustained.
Breakout with Decreasing Liquidity (Rising Amihud): A breakout on low liquidity might be more suspect and could be a "fakeout" if there isn't enough sustained buying or selling pressure.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3. Identifying Potential Reversal Points:
Liquidity Exhaustion: Sometimes, a prolonged period of low liquidity (high Amihud) might precede a reversal. The lack of active trading interest at those levels could make the price more susceptible to a shift in sentiment.
Liquidity Surges: A sudden spike in liquidity (a sharp drop in Amihud) after a period of low liquidity could indicate renewed interest and potentially the start of a new trend or a reversal of the previous one.

Consecutive CandlesSummary
This indicator helps visualize short-term momentum by automatically drawing boxes around sequences of consecutive same-colored candles (bullish or bearish). It's designed to quickly highlight periods of sustained buying or selling pressure directly on your chart.
How it Works
Consecutive Candle Detection: The script monitors the chart bar by bar, tracking consecutive candles where close > open (bullish) or close < open (bearish).
Box Drawing: When a sequence of same-colored candles reaches a user-defined minimum length (default is 3) and this sequence is then broken by an opposite-colored candle or a doji, a box is drawn.
Box Boundaries:
The top of the box is set to the highest high price reached during the sequence.
The bottom of the box is set to the lowest low price reached during the sequence.
The left edge of the box aligns with the start time of the first candle in the sequence.
The right edge of the box aligns with the end time of the last candle in the sequence.
Stability: Uses xloc = xloc.bar_time to ensure boxes remain accurately anchored to the price bars when zooming or panning the chart.
Real-time Extension: For active sequences meeting the minimum length on the latest developing bar, the box is optionally extended to the right.
Features
Automatically identifies and boxes sequences of 3 or more (customizable) consecutive bullish candles.
Automatically identifies and boxes sequences of 3 or more (customizable) consecutive bearish candles.
Extends box in real-time for active qualifying sequences.
Customizable minimum candle count (>= 2).
Customizable colors for bullish/bearish boxes and borders.
Settings
You can customize the indicator via the Settings menu (gear icon):
Minimum Consecutive Candles: Define how many candles in a row are needed to draw a box (Default: 3).
Bullish Box Color: Set the fill color for boxes around bullish sequences.
Bearish Box Color: Set the fill color for boxes around bearish sequences.
Box Border Color: Set the color for the border of all boxes.
Potential Use Cases
Momentum Identification: Quickly spot periods of strong, uninterrupted buying or selling.
Exhaustion/Reversal Signals: Very long sequences might indicate potential exhaustion, setting up reversal opportunities.
Consolidation Breakouts: A box forming after a period of tight consolidation can highlight the range just before a potential breakout.
Confirmation: Use the boxes as confirmation for entries or exits based on momentum shifts.
Disclaimer: This indicator provides visual aids based on price action. It should not be used as a standalone trading system. Always use indicators in conjunction with your own analysis and risk management rules.

ICT Breakers (BOS / MSS - Market Structure) [ICTProTools]The Breakers (Market Structure) indicator is designed to help traders identify true breaker structures , a key concept in Inner Circle Trader (ICT) methodology. In market structure, Breakers represent powerful shifts where a key high or low is broken, leading to a reversal in market direction. Most tools misinterpret structure shifts, using internal structure , leading to fake breakouts. This tool solves that problem by filtering out false signals , providing clear & structured insights , all with multi-timeframe compatibility.
💎 Key Features
⚡️ Breakers in action
The indicator shows the structure following ICT instructions. A breaker is defined by two lines:
The first line confirms the previous trend (it could be interpreted as a BOS).
The second line highlights the moment price breaks structure (with candle body or wick based on your chosen settings), signaling a shift in trend direction (like an MSS).
Furthermore, it’s important to note that a breaker not only shows the structure, but also defines a potential Point of Interest (POI), an area where price may retrace before continuing its trend.
Here, we can observe two clear structure shifts.
On the far left, the market was in a bearish trend, illustrated by the first visible (dotted and red) line. Shortly after, the second (solid and green) line appears, showing a break that initiates a new bullish trend.
This upward movement continues, with the last confirmation marked by a top structure line. And finally, the structure is broken once again indicating a transition back into a bearish trend.
💪 Real Structure with True Highs / Lows
Unlike many indicators that detect internal breakouts , this tool follows ICT’s true market structure rules .
In a bearish trend , a bullish breaker is only confirmed when the high that created the low is broken , and conversely for a bullish scenario.
Fake breakouts are ignored, preventing misleading signals.
In the image above, the white breakout is correctly ignored by the indicator, as it doesn't align with ICT’s structural rules. That white high is simply part of the internal structure, not the true swing point. Instead, the green line highlights the key level that truly matters, the one whose rupture would have confirmed a real change in market structure.
🔔 Smart Alerts for Structure Updates
Stay one step ahead with customizable alerts designed to notify you instantly when market structure changes occur.
Get notified for BOS (Continuation) and / or MSS (Breaker) events.
Set alerts for bullish , bearish , or both directions.
Choose between once or repeated alerts , based on your strategy.
This feature allows traders to remain focused and reactive , even when monitoring multiple markets.
In the alert settings, select which structure shifts you want to be notified of. Whether you're a scalper or a swing trader, the alerts keep you connected to key moments without needing to constantly monitor the chart.
⏳ Multi-Timeframe Structure
All features of the indicator are fully compatible with higher timeframes .
Get a broader view of market structure without switching timeframes.
Monitor higher timeframe structures and receive alerts, all without leaving your analysis chart .
In this example, the market structure of the 30m timeframe is displayed while on a 5m chart, providing a clearer perspective.
✨ Customization & User Control
Make it yours! The indicator allows full customization:
Swing bars (to confirm high / low)
Select your mode for Breakers (MSS) , using the candle body only or body / wick
Line style (type, width, color)
Choice of displayed timeframe
Activate any alert , with the frequency you want
🎯 Conclusion
✅ Avoid false signals by focusing on true ICT Breakers
✅ Smart alerts to never miss a structural shift
✅ Multi-timeframe support for enhanced analysis
✅ Clean & professional design for an optimal trading experience
Dynamic Support and Resistance ### Indicator: Dynamic Support and Resistance
#### Overview:
The *Dynamic Support and Resistance* indicator is a powerful tool designed to help traders identify key price levels on a chart. It dynamically calculates support and resistance levels based on pivot points and the Average True Range (ATR). The indicator also highlights broken support and resistance zones, providing visual cues for potential trend reversals or continuations.
---
### Key Features:
1. *Dynamic Support and Resistance Levels*:
- The indicator identifies support and resistance levels using pivot highs and lows within a user-defined range.
- These levels are adjusted using the ATR to account for market volatility, making them more responsive to changing market conditions.
2. *Support and Resistance Zones*:
- The indicator draws boxes around the support and resistance levels, with customizable colors and widths.
- The width of the zones is determined by the ATR and a user-defined multiplier, allowing traders to adjust the sensitivity of the zones.
3. *Broken Zones*:
- When price breaks through a support or resistance zone, the zone is highlighted with a distinct color to indicate a potential shift in market sentiment.
- Traders can limit the number of broken zones displayed on the chart to avoid clutter.
4. *Customizable Inputs*:
- *Range Candle Count*: Defines the number of candles analyzed to determine pivot points. Increasing this value will result in fewer but more significant levels, while decreasing it will produce more levels that are sensitive to shorter-term price movements.
- *ATR Period*: Controls the sensitivity of the ATR calculation. A shorter period makes the ATR more responsive to recent price changes, while a longer period smooths it out.
- *Box Width Multiplier*: Adjusts the width of the support and resistance zones. A higher multiplier creates wider zones, which may be useful in more volatile markets.
- *Max Broken Zones*: Limits the number of broken zones displayed on the chart. This helps keep the chart clean and focused on the most recent breaks.
---
### How It Works:
1. *Pivot Points*:
- The indicator identifies pivot highs and lows within the specified range. These pivots serve as the basis for calculating support and resistance levels.
2. *ATR Adjustment*:
- The ATR is used to adjust the support and resistance levels, making them more dynamic and responsive to market volatility.
3. *Zone Creation*:
- Support and resistance zones are drawn as boxes around the pivot levels. The width of these zones is determined by the ATR and the box width multiplier.
4. *Zone Breaks*:
- When price breaks through a zone, the zone is highlighted with a distinct color, and the broken zone is added to an array. If the number of broken zones exceeds the user-defined limit, the oldest broken zone is removed from the chart.
---
### How to Use:
1. *Trend Identification*:
- Use the support and resistance levels to identify key price levels where the market may reverse or consolidate.
- Broken zones can signal potential trend reversals or continuations.
2. *Entry and Exit Points*:
- Traders can use the support and resistance zones as potential entry or exit points. For example, buying near support or selling near resistance.
- Broken zones can be used as confirmation for breakout strategies.
3. *Risk Management*:
- The width of the zones can help traders set stop-loss levels. For example, placing a stop-loss just outside a support or resistance zone.
4. *Customization*:
- Adjust the input parameters to suit your trading style and the specific market conditions. For example, increase the range candle count for longer-term analysis or decrease it for shorter-term trading.
---
### Who Should Use This Indicator?
- *Swing Traders*: Can use the indicator to identify key levels for potential reversals or breakouts.
- *Day Traders*: Can benefit from the dynamic levels and zones, especially in volatile markets.
- *Position Traders*: Can use the indicator to identify long-term support and resistance levels.
- *Breakout Traders*: Can use the broken zones to confirm breakouts and plan their trades accordingly.
---
### Input Parameters and Their Effects:
1. *Range Candle Count*:
- *Increase*: Produces fewer but more significant levels, suitable for longer-term analysis.
- *Decrease*: Produces more levels, sensitive to shorter-term price movements.
2. *ATR Period*:
- *Increase*: Smoothens the ATR, making the levels less sensitive to recent price changes.
- *Decrease*: Makes the ATR more responsive to recent price changes, resulting in more dynamic levels.
3. *Box Width Multiplier*:
- *Increase*: Creates wider zones, suitable for more volatile markets.
- *Decrease*: Creates narrower zones, suitable for less volatile markets.
4. *Max Broken Zones*:
- *Increase*: Displays more broken zones on the chart, providing more historical context.
- *Decrease*: Keeps the chart clean by displaying only the most recent broken zones.
---
### Conclusion:
The *Dynamic Support and Resistance* indicator is a versatile tool that can be adapted to various trading styles and market conditions. By dynamically adjusting to market volatility and highlighting key price levels, it provides traders with valuable insights into potential support and resistance areas. Whether you're a swing trader, day trader, or position trader, this indicator can help you make more informed trading decisions.
