Descending Inv. Head and Shoulders Patterns [theEccentricTrader]█ OVERVIEW
This indicator automatically draws descending inverse head and shoulders patterns and price projections derived from the ranges that constitute the patterns.
█ CONCEPTS
Green and Red Candles
• A green candle is one that closes with a close price equal to or above the price it opened.
• A red candle is one that closes with a close price that is lower than the price it opened.
Swing Highs and Swing Lows
• A swing high is a green candle or series of consecutive green candles followed by a single red candle to complete the swing and form the peak.
• A swing low is a red candle or series of consecutive red candles followed by a single green candle to complete the swing and form the trough.
Peak and Trough Prices (Basic)
• The peak price of a complete swing high is the high price of either the red candle that completes the swing high or the high price of the preceding green candle, depending on which is higher.
• The trough price of a complete swing low is the low price of either the green candle that completes the swing low or the low price of the preceding red candle, depending on which is lower.
Historic Peaks and Troughs
The current, or most recent, peak and trough occurrences are referred to as occurrence zero. Previous peak and trough occurrences are referred to as historic and ordered numerically from right to left, with the most recent historic peak and trough occurrences being occurrence one.
Upper Trends
• A return line uptrend is formed when the current peak price is higher than the preceding peak price.
• A downtrend is formed when the current peak price is lower than the preceding peak price.
• A double-top is formed when the current peak price is equal to the preceding peak price.
Lower Trends
• An uptrend is formed when the current trough price is higher than the preceding trough price.
• A return line downtrend is formed when the current trough price is lower than the preceding trough price.
• A double-bottom is formed when the current trough price is equal to the preceding trough price.
Range
The range is simply the difference between the current peak and current trough prices, generally expressed in terms of points or pips.
Support and Resistance
• Support refers to a price level where the demand for an asset is strong enough to prevent the price from falling further.
• Resistance refers to a price level where the supply of an asset is strong enough to prevent the price from rising further.
Support and resistance levels are important because they can help traders identify where the price of an asset might pause or reverse its direction, offering potential entry and exit points. For example, a trader might look to buy an asset when it approaches a support level , with the expectation that the price will bounce back up. Alternatively, a trader might look to sell an asset when it approaches a resistance level , with the expectation that the price will drop back down.
It's important to note that support and resistance levels are not always relevant, and the price of an asset can also break through these levels and continue moving in the same direction.
Breakouts and Breakdowns
• A breakout occurs when the price of an asset breaks above a resistance level.
• A breakdown occurs when the price of an asset breaks below a support level.
• A confirmed breakout occurs when the price of an asset breaks and closes above a resistance level.
• A confirmed breakdown occurs when the price of an asset breaks and closes below a support level.
It's important to note that breakouts and breakdowns of resistance and support levels are not always relevant, and the price of an asset can also reverse once it has broken through a level to carry on in the opposite direction.
Trendlines
Trendlines are straight lines that are drawn between two or more points on a price chart. These lines are used as dynamic support and resistance levels for making strategic decisions and predictions about future price movements. For example traders will look for price movements along, and reactions to, trendlines in the form of rejections or breakouts/downs.
Descending Inverse Head and Shoulders Patterns
Descending inverse head and shoulders patterns are generally characterised by three troughs with the one in the middle being the lowest of the three and the third trough being lower than the first. Similarly, the two peaks that connect the three troughs are also descending, with the second peak, or right shoulder peak, being lower than the preceding peak, or left shoulder peak.
The current peak acts as neckline resistance and the trendline drawn from the preceding peak to current peak acts as dynamic neckline resistance.
Traders typically look for breakouts of descending head and shoulders necklines to identify potential trading opportunities, with targets and stop losses set as multiples of the pattern's range.

█ LIMITATIONS
All green and red candle calculations are based on differences between open and close prices, as such I have made no attempt to account for green candles that gap lower and close below the close price of the preceding candle, or red candles that gap higher and close above the close price of the preceding candle. This may cause some unexpected behaviour on some markets and timeframes. I can only recommend using 24-hour markets, if and where possible, as there are far fewer gaps and, generally, more data to work with.

Ascending broadening patterns are generally characterised by ascending diverging trendlines drawn from four points that form a broadening shape, or megaphone. Traders typically look for breakouts or breakdowns of ascending broadening patterns to identify potential trading opportunities, with targets and stop losses set as multiples of the pattern's range.

█ LIMITATIONS
All green and red candle calculations are based on differences between open and close prices, as such I have made no attempt to account for green candles that gap lower and close below the close price of the preceding candle, or red candles that gap higher and close above the close price of the preceding candle. This may cause some unexpected behaviour on some markets and timeframes. I can only recommend using 24-hour markets, if and where possible, as there are far fewer gaps and, generally, more data to work with.
Ascending Wedge Patterns [theEccentricTrader]█ OVERVIEW
This indicator automatically draws ascending wedge patterns and price projections derived from the ranges that constitute the patterns.
█ CONCEPTS
Green and Red Candles
• A green candle is one that closes with a close price equal to or above the price it opened.
• A red candle is one that closes with a close price that is lower than the price it opened.
Swing Highs and Swing Lows
• A swing high is a green candle or series of consecutive green candles followed by a single red candle to complete the swing and form the peak.
• A swing low is a red candle or series of consecutive red candles followed by a single green candle to complete the swing and form the trough.
Peak and Trough Prices (Basic)
• The peak price of a complete swing high is the high price of either the red candle that completes the swing high or the high price of the preceding green candle, depending on which is higher.
• The trough price of a complete swing low is the low price of either the green candle that completes the swing low or the low price of the preceding red candle, depending on which is lower.
Historic Peaks and Troughs
The current, or most recent, peak and trough occurrences are referred to as occurrence zero. Previous peak and trough occurrences are referred to as historic and ordered numerically from right to left, with the most recent historic peak and trough occurrences being occurrence one.
Upper Trends
• A return line uptrend is formed when the current peak price is higher than the preceding peak price.
• A downtrend is formed when the current peak price is lower than the preceding peak price.
• A double-top is formed when the current peak price is equal to the preceding peak price.
Lower Trends
• An uptrend is formed when the current trough price is higher than the preceding trough price.
• A return line downtrend is formed when the current trough price is lower than the preceding trough price.
• A double-bottom is formed when the current trough price is equal to the preceding trough price.
Double Trends
• A double uptrend is formed when the current trough price is higher than the preceding trough price and the current peak price is higher than the preceding peak price.
• A double downtrend is formed when the current peak price is lower than the preceding peak price and the current trough price is lower than the preceding trough price.
Range
The range is simply the difference between the current peak and current trough prices, generally expressed in terms of points or pips.
Support and Resistance
• Support refers to a price level where the demand for an asset is strong enough to prevent the price from falling further.
• Resistance refers to a price level where the supply of an asset is strong enough to prevent the price from rising further.
Support and resistance levels are important because they can help traders identify where the price of an asset might pause or reverse its direction, offering potential entry and exit points. For example, a trader might look to buy an asset when it approaches a support level , with the expectation that the price will bounce back up. Alternatively, a trader might look to sell an asset when it approaches a resistance level , with the expectation that the price will drop back down.
It's important to note that support and resistance levels are not always relevant, and the price of an asset can also break through these levels and continue moving in the same direction.
Breakouts and Breakdowns
• A breakout occurs when the price of an asset breaks above a resistance level.
• A breakdown occurs when the price of an asset breaks below a support level.
• A confirmed breakout occurs when the price of an asset breaks and closes above a resistance level.
• A confirmed breakdown occurs when the price of an asset breaks and closes below a support level.
It's important to note that breakouts and breakdowns of resistance and support levels are not always relevant, and the price of an asset can also reverse once it has broken through a level to carry on in the opposite direction.
Trendlines
Trendlines are straight lines that are drawn between two or more points on a price chart. These lines are used as dynamic support and resistance levels for making strategic decisions and predictions about future price movements. For example traders will look for price movements along, and reactions to, trendlines in the form of rejections or breakouts/downs.
Ascending Wedge Patterns
Ascending wedge patterns are generally characterised by ascending converging trendlines drawn from four points that form a triangle, or wedge shape. Traders typically look for breakouts or breakdowns of ascending wedge patterns to identify potential trading opportunities, with targets and stop losses set as multiples of the pattern's range.

SPY 1 Minute Day TraderWhen scalping options, users are looking for where breakouts are going to occur instead of sitting thru areas choppy price action that drain delta and cause them to lose value even if price is up trending. This script tries to identify when a trend reversal is expected based on one minute price action on the SPY. It alerts users to prepare for potential breakout when 5 out of the 6 key optimized parameters are discovered by showing a white L or S. Once all six trigger, it informs the user at the close of that candle with a golden triangle with Pivot Up or Pivot Down. As scalping options is something that is expected to be short in duration, a take profit and stop loss of 30 cents of price actions is established. If five or more parameters occur after the pivot is initiated, then stop losses and take profits are adhered to; however, if there are less, then it waits to take profit or stop the trade, as likely it is just noise and it will finish trend with an additional breakout.
This script has been created to take into account how the following variables impact trend for SPY 1 Minute:
ema vs 13 ema : A cross establishes start of trend
MACD (Line, Signal & Slope) : If you have momentum
ADX : if you are trending
RSI : If the trend has strength
The above has been optimized to determine pivot points in the trend using key values for these 6 indicators
bounce up = ema5 > ema13 and macdLine < .5 and adx > 20 and macdSlope > 0 and signalLine > -.1 and rsiSignal > 40
bounce down = ema5 < ema13 and macdLine > -.5 and adx > 20 and signalLine < 0 and macdSlope < 0 and rsiSignal < 60
White L's indicate that 5 of 6 conditions are met due to impending uptrend w/ missing one in green below it
Yellow L's indicate that 6 of 6 conditions still are met
White S's indicate that 5 of 6 conditions are met due to impending downtrend w/ missing condition in red above it
Yellow S's indicate that 6 of 6 conditions still are met
After a downtrend or uptrend is established, once it closes it can't repeat for 10 minutes
Won't open any trades on last two minutes of any hours to avoid volatility
Will close any open trades going into last minute of hour to avoid large overnight random swings.
Keltner Channel Width Oscillator (KingThies)Definition
The Keltner Channel Width oscillator is a technical analysis indicator derived originally from the same relationship the Bollinger Band Width indicator takes on Bollinger Bands.
Similar to the Bollinger Bands, Kelts measure volatility in relation to price, and factor in various range calculations to create three bands around the price of a given stock or digital asset. The Middle Line is typically a 20 Day Exponential Moving Average while the upper and lower bands highlight price at different range variations around its basis. Keltner Channel Width serve as a way to quantitatively measure the width between the Upper and Lower Bands and identify opportunities for entires and exits, based on the relative range price is experiencing that day.
Calculation
Kelt Channel Width = (Upper Band - Lower Band) / Middle Band
More on Keltner Channels
Keltner channel was first described by a Chicago grain trader called Chester W. Keltner in his 1960 book How to Make Money in Commodities. Though Keltner claimed no ownership of the original idea and simply called it the ten-day moving average trading rule, his name was applied by those who heard of this concept through his books.
Similarly to the Bollinger Bands, Keltner channel is a technical analysis tool based on three parallel lines. In fact, the Keltner indicator consists of a central moving average in addition to channel lines spread above and below it. The central line represents a 10-day simple moving average of what Chester W. Keltner called typical price. The typical price is defined as the average of the high, low and close. The distance between the central line and the upper, or lower line, is equivalent to the simple moving average of the preceding 10 days' trading ranges.
One way to interpret the Keltner Channel would be to consider the price breakouts outside of the channel. A trader would track price movement and consider any close above the upper line as a strong buy signal. Equivalently, any close below the lower line would be considered a strong sell signal. The trader would follow the trend emphasized by the indicator while complementing his analysis with the use of other indicators as well. However, the breakout method only works well when the market moves from a range-bound setting to an established trend. In a trend-less configuration, the Keltner Channel is better used as an overbought/oversold indicator. Thus, as the price breaks out below the lower band, a trader waits for the next close inside the Keltner Channel and considers this price behavior as an oversold situation indicating a potential buy signal. Similarly, as the price breaks out above the upper band, the trader waits for the next close inside the Keltner Channel and considers this price action as an overbought situation indicating a potential sell signal. By waiting for the price to close within the Channel, the trader avoids getting caught in a real upside or downside breakout.
StockBee MB BullishStockBee Bullish Momentum Burst & 20% Plus Study Tool
The Stockbee bullish momentum burst study tool is helpful for practitioners of the momentum burst method who want to easily find historical momentum bursts and/or 20% plus gainers using Trading View. This script finds three specific breakouts that meet the below criteria:
4% Breakouts (Colors Candle Body)
1. Volume of the candle is greater than the previous candle volume.
2. The percent change of candle's price is greater than 4% from the previous candle close.
3. Current candle close is less than 30% from candle's high.
**Users can toggle 4% Breakouts on/off and also change candle body color in settings**
Dollar Breakouts (Colors Candle Body)
1. The change of candle's price is greater than $0.90 from the previous candle close.
2. Current candle close is less than 30% from candle's high.
** Dollar Breakout does not take volume into consideration **
**Users can toggle Dollar Breakouts on/off and also change candle body color in settings**
20% Plus Gainers (Displays Yellow Triangle Icon)
1. The change over five candles is greater than 20%.
**Users can toggle 20% plus label on/off, cannot change the label color**
This script also filters out any candle that gaps up and breaks down with a close above 4% the previous candle (Eliminates gap-ups that fade). This tool is meant to find and filter possible candidates. Not every marked candle is a great momentum burst trade. Users can look at 4% Breakouts, Dollar Breakouts, 20% Plus Gainers individually or any combination of the three.
This is helpful for Trading View users trading this specific setup.
Mobo BandsThis indicator is the Mobo Bands (Momentum Breakout Bands). These bands are bollinger bands that have an adjusted standard deviation. There are Buy signals when it has momentum breakouts above the bands for moves to the upside and Sell signals when it has momentum breakouts below the bands for moves to the downside. The bands simply suggest that all markets have periods of chop which we all know to be true. While the price is inside the bands it is said to be trendless. Once the breakouts happen you can take trades in the breakout direction. I like to use these to swing trade options on the hourly timeframe but the bands should work on most instruments and timeframes. I like to use it to take swings on SPY on the 1 hour chart for entries and use the Daily chart for trend confirmation.
TAPLOT SlingShotSlingshot concept was created by Scot1andT
Below is HIS explanation of what SlingShot is and how to use it:
THE SLINGSHOT
Wouldn’t it be great if you could buy a powerful stock after a pullback just as the downward momentum stops and the stock begins going back up?
It was my goal to come up with a setup that did just that. After much experimentation, I came up with a setup that I call the Slingshot.
WHAT IS IT?
My Slingshot indicator is simply a 4EMA of the highs. Buy using the highs instead of the closing price, I was able to find stocks that were powerful enough to break the short term downward pressure. And, when the selling is done, the stocks start to run.
CHARACTERISTICS
First, there must be upward momentum. A pull back in a stock in a downtrend is merely an opportunity to sell into strength. That’s not what we want to trade. Ideally, we want to find a stock that has recently made a strong move. – often following an earnings gap.
LOOK FOR CONSOLIDATION
Tight trading ranges before the trigger are ideal for two reasons. It signals that the selling pressure is waning and perhaps, more importantly, it permits very tight stops.
MANAGING RISK
I typically place my stop at the low of the slingshot day. Or at most, the bottom of the consolidation period. Stops should be tight, much tighter than a breakout. The advantage of the setup is that it provides a low risk entry with a tight stop. If it works, I will have ample room to avoid the crowded breakouts.
Jeges JigsThis is a combination of all my old indicators, with an added feature for trend lines (inspiration for this came from Wedge Maker script thanks to veryfid, I hope he doesn't mind).
This script looks for a period with increased volatility , as measured by ATR ( Average True Range ), then it looks for a high or a low in that area.
When price is above EMA (400 is default, can be changed), it looks for the highs and adds multiples of ATR to the high. Default values for multipliers are 3,9 and 27, meaning that the script will show 3xATR level above the high, 9xATR above the high and 27xATR above the high.
When price is below EMA it looks for the lows and subtracts multiples of ATR from the low.The script will show 3xATR level below the low, 9xATR below the low and 27xATR below the low.
Multipliers values can be changed as well, making it a versatile tool that shows potential levels of suppport/resistance based on the volatility .
Possible use cases:
Breakout trading, when price crosses a certain level, it may show potential profit targets for trades opened at a breakout.
Stoploss helper. Many traders use ATR for their stoplosses, 1 ATR below the swing low for long trades and 1 ATR above the swing high for short trades are common values used by many traders. In this case, the Lookback value comes handy, if we want to look maybe at a more recent value for swing high/low point.
It highlights ATR peaks, it also displays Bollinger bands of SMA400 (or Ema), breakouts for upper/lower bands.
Another thing you get is Parabolic SAR and Zigzag based on SAR.
Kelt + BBand Combination (kingthies) █ Overview
The Kelt-BBand Combo is a trading approach that I've used for multiple years now, and works on any timeframe, chart possible. There are various versions of this approach published by myself and others who find value in measuring the deviations of price and strategize market entries and exits. For an entry-level description of each component, I'll type them up below.
█ Using This Indicator
While there are various strategies to use this tool, I'll share the one that has yielded me the most success across traditional and cryptocurrency markets - first understand the different appearances of both....
IF the bbands are inside the kelts, the squeeze is on. In 90% of cases this is often a bullish leaning event
IF the bbands are pinching (regardless of slope or kelt behavior),these are your primary support and resistances, respectively
When trending up, HA candles will touch between the upper kelt and upper bband on every candle, across all timeframes
When trending down, HA candles will touch between the lower kelt and lower bband on every candle, across all timeframes
If one timeframe is not giving clear indicator of trend direction or s/r to follow, zoom out. the higher timeframe will always win and show you the true direction
█ Intro to Bollinger Bands
Bollinger Bands consists of a center line representing the moving average of a security’s price over a certain period, and two additional parallel lines (called the trading bands) one of which is just the moving average plus k-times the standard deviation over the selected time frame, and the other being the moving average minus k-times the standard deviation over that same timeframe. This technique has been developed in the 1980’s by John Bollinger, who lately registered the terms “Bollinger Bands” as a U.S. trademark in 2011. Technical analysts typically use 20 periods and k = 2 as default settings to build Bollinger Bands, while they can choose a simple or exponential moving average. Bollinger Bands provide a relative definition of high and low prices of a security. When the security is trading within the upper band, the price is considered high, while it is considered low when the security is trading within the lower band.
There is no general consensus on the use of Bollinger Bands among traders. Some traders see a buy signal when the price hits the lower Bollinger Band and close their position when the price hits the moving average. Some others buy when the price crosses over the upper band and sell when the price crosses below the lower band. We can see here two opposing interpretations based on different rationales, depending whether we are in a reversal or continuation pattern. Another interesting feature of the Bollinger Bands is that they give an indication of the volatility levels; a widening gap between the upper and lower bands indicates an increasing volatility, while a narrowing band indicates a decreasing volatility. Moreover, when the bands have an almost flat slope (parallel to the x-axis) the price will generally oscillate between the bands as if trading through a channel.
█ Intro to Keltner Channels
Keltner Channels aka Kelts were first described by a Chicago grain trader called Chester W. Keltner in his 1960 book How to Make Money in Commodities. Though Keltner claimed no ownership of the original idea and simply called it the ten-day moving average trading rule, his name was applied by those who heard of this concept through his books.

The central line represents a 10-day simple moving average of what Chester W. Keltner called typical price. The typical price is defined as the average of the high, low and close. The distance between the central line and the upper, or lower line, is equivalent to the simple moving average of the preceding 10 days' trading ranges.
One way to interpret the Keltner Channel would be to consider the price breakouts outside of the channel. A trader would track price movement and consider any close above the upper line as a strong buy signal. Equivalently, any close below the lower line would be considered a strong sell signal. The trader would follow the trend emphasized by the indicator while complementing his analysis with the use of other indicators as well. However, the breakout method only works well when the market moves from a range-bound setting to an established trend. In a trend-less configuration, the Keltner Channel is better used as an overbought/oversold indicator. Thus, as the price breaks out below the lower band, a trader waits for the next close inside the Keltner Channel and considers this price behavior as an oversold situation indicating a potential buy signal. Similarly, as the price breaks out above the upper band, the trader waits for the next close inside the Keltner Channel and considers this price movement as an overbought situation indicating a potential sell signal. By waiting for the price to close within the Channel, the trader avoids getting caught in a real upside or downside breakout.

Point and Figure Chart - LiveHello Traders,
This is "Point and Figure Chart (PnF)" script that run in separated window in real time. The separated PnF chart window is timeless, so no relation with the time on the chart. PnF chart consist of "X" and "O" columns. While "X" columns represents rising prices, "O" column represents a falling price. If you have no idea about what PnF charting is then you should search for "Point and Figure Charting" on the net and get some info before using this script.
Now lets talk about details. PnF Chart requires at least two variables to be set => Box size and Reversal. Box size represents the size of each X/O in PnF chart and the reversal is used to calculate new X/O or reversal. for example if currrent column is X column then for new "X", "box size * 1" move is needed and for new "O" column or reversal, "box size * revelsal" move is needed. in the script I use lines as X/O columns.
In the options you can set "Box Size Assingment Method". you have 3 options Traditional, ATR, Percentage . what are they?
Traditional: user-defined box size, means you can set the box size as you wish, using the option . if you use this option then you should set it accordingly.
ATR : that's dynamic box size scaling and on each columns it's calculated once, you can set length for ATR
Percentage: that's also dynamic box size scaling according to closing price when new column appeared. if you use this option then you should set it accordingly.
Reversal: The reversal is typically 3 but you can change it as you wish
"Change Bar Color by PnF Trend": if you enable this option then bar color changes by PnF columns, by default it's not enabled
"Change Column Color When Breakout Occurs": PnF color changes if Double Top/Bottom breakout accours. enabled by default and you can set the colors as you wish using the options
"Change Bar Color When Breakout Occurs": bar colors changed if Double Top/Bottom breakout accours. enabled by default and you can set the colors as you wish using the options
the script checks only Double Top/Bottom breakouts at the moment. there are many other breakouts such Triple/Quadruple, Ascending/Descending Triple Top/Bottom breakouts, Catapult etc.
Also the script shows new X/O level and reversal Levels in PnF window. An example:
If you enable "Change Bar Color by PnF Trend" option:
An example if you disable the option "Change Column Color When Breakout Occurs
You may want to see my another/older "Point and Point Chart" script as well. you can find it in my profile/published scripts and in the Public Library. I use same PnF calculation algorithm in both scripts.
Enjoy!
DARVAS BOX MTFMULTIPLE TIME FRAME VERSION OF DARVAS BOX:
You can view different time frame values of Darvas Box levels on any chart
What Is the Darvas Box?
The Darvas Box strategy was developed by Nicholas Darvas. Aside from being a well known dancer, he began trading stock in the 1950s. Based on his success in trading, he was approached to write a book on his strategy. The book, “How I Made $2,000,000 in the Stock Market,” outlines his rather simple approach … simple once you understand the basic concepts and rationale of the strategy.
Darvas Box is an indicator that simply draws lines along highs and lows, and then adjusts them as new highs and lows form. The indicator is available on many trading platforms, such as Thinkorswim. Traders may wish to draw their own boxes though, based on recent highs and lows; Darvas was able to do so (based on telegram quotes) more than half a century ago.
Darvas Box Rules
I shall not follow advisory services.
I shall be cautious of broker advice.
I shall ignore Wall Street sayings or truisms, no matter how ancient or revered.
I shall only trade stocks on major exchanges with adequate volume .
I shall not listen to (or trade off of) rumors or tips, no matter how well researched they may sound.
I will use a sound strategy instead of gamble…I must study this strategy (originally this approach was fundamental analysis , which didn’t work for him, so he developed his Darvas Box trading method).
I will hold one position for longer, as opposed to juggling a bunch of positions for a short period of time.
Darvas looked for increasing volume when selecting stocks to trade; this alerted him to stocks that were being accumulated and were likely to see strong trends.
Darvas believed in buying stocks that presented an upper box limit breakout, but also had an upward Earnings trend. This was especially the case when the major indexes had experienced a decline.
When an upper box limit is broken, buy. From his book, the entry price was usually about 1 to 2% above the upper box limit.
If you enter a trade and the price proceeds to drop out of the new box, and back into the old box, exit the trade.
Entry and stop loss orders should be set in advance, so trades aren’t missed and risk is controlled.
Place, and trail the stop loss order to below the low of the most recent box. This initial stop loss was pretty tight, because Darvas assumed when a price broke out of an old box, it was entering a new box. Therefore, the stop was placed just below the high of old box which was just broken (low of new box).
Record trades, including reasons why you entered and exited.
General conditions of the market must favor buying. Don’t buy stocks when the major indexes are in a bear market, or when volume is flat or declining.
If you are stopped out, but the price moves back into the higher box again providing another buy signal, buy again, using the same stop loss location.
Since the stop is being trailed up, more funds can be added on each consecutive breakout.
The Bottom Line
Nicholas Darvas was a dancer, but committed a great deal of time to developing and then mastering his stock trading method. It’s a trend following method based on breakouts to higher boxes. Risk is controlled by placing a stop below new higher boxes as they form. During choppy conditions the strategy won’t be profitable. This is why Darvas also attempted to only trade stocks with increasing volume and rising Earnings . Trading his method requires a lot of discipline, but can produce big profits when strong trends develop.

DARVAS BOX by KIVANÇ fr3762What Is the Darvas Box?
The Darvas Box strategy was developed by Nicholas Darvas. Aside from being a well known dancer, he began trading stock in the 1950s. Based on his success in trading, he was approached to write a book on his strategy. The book, “How I Made $2,000,000 in the Stock Market,” outlines his rather simple approach … simple once you understand the basic concepts and rationale of the strategy.
Darvas Box is an indicator that simply draws lines along highs and lows, and then adjusts them as new highs and lows form. The indicator is available on many trading platforms, such as Thinkorswim.

Trend Change Strength – by G.I.N.e TradingIdentifies powerful trend reversals with high follow-through potential. The sub-pane plots green bars for strong bullish shifts, red bars for strong bearish shifts, and gray bars for sideways/no-trade conditions. Bar height reflects how many “strength conditions” are met.
How it works (signals = K-of-7 conditions)
The indicator scores each bar by checking up to 7 independent strength factors:
Trend inflection: HMA slope flips with a minimum slope magnitude.
Price confirmation: Close crosses the HMA with an ATR buffer.
Directional energy: ADX above threshold and rising.
Momentum thrust: RSI exits the neutral band and MACD turns/accelerates.
Volatility expansion: ATR above its moving average and BBWidth expanding.
Volume + candle quality: Volume above MA × multiplier with a strong body location (thrust candle).
Structural breakout: Close breaks recent high/low window.
Bullish (green) when at least K bullish conditions are true.
Bearish (red) when at least K bearish conditions are true.
Lateral (gray) when a separate flat filter (low ADX, flat slope, BBWidth below its MA) is active.
Key inputs
Trend/Price: HMA length, min slope %, ATR buffer, breakout lookback.
Momentum: RSI period + neutral band, MACD (fast/slow/signal), momentum lookback.
Vol/Volatility: Volume MA period & multiplier, min candle body ratio, ATR/BBWidth expansion settings.
ADX Gate: ADX period/smoothing/threshold, optional gating.
Logic: needHits K (minimum strong conditions), confirmBars (persistence), cooldownBars (avoid rapid re-signals).
Lateral Filter: thresholds for ADX, slope %, and BBWidth vs its MA.
How to use
Trade only green/red bars (direction comes from bar color); skip gray bars.
Combine with your entries (HARSI/MACD/price action) and your exit/trailing logic.
Use needHits to control selectivity: higher K = fewer, stronger signals.
Tuning tips
More selective: increase needHits, ADX threshold, minSlope%, ATR/BB expansion multipliers, and breakout lookback.
More permissive: lower needHits, soften thresholds, reduce cooldown.
Best for
Daily stocks and intraday futures/indices when you want quality reversal entries with evidence of momentum, volatility, directionality, volume, and structure—all aligned.
Simple Symmetrical Triangle Strategy (6 points)Overview
This strategy identifies triangle patterns formed by a series of key high and low price points. A trade is triggered when the price breaks out from the pattern's final confirmation points: a buy signal occurs on a close above the last high point, and a sell signal on a close below the last low point. To ensure relevance, any pattern that doesn't break out within 10 bars is automatically discarded.
This helps filter out patterns that lose momentum and focuses only on the most imminent breakouts.
How It Works
1. Pattern Detection: The script continuously scans for a sequence of three declining highs (points H1, H2, H3) and three rising lows (points L1, L2, L3) to form a triangle.
2. Entry Logic: The logic is straightforward and based on breaking the last confirmed pivot:
* Long Entry: A buy order is executed if the price closes above the level of the last high (H3).
* Short Entry: A sell order is executed if the price closes below the level of the last low (L3).
3. Pattern Expiration: A triangle only remains "active" for 10 bars after its formation. If a breakout doesn't occur within this window, the pattern is removed from analysis, avoiding trades on prolonged, unresolved consolidations.
Key Features
* Automatic Detection: Identifies and draws triangles for you.
* Simple Breakout Logic: Easy to understand, trades by following the price action.
* Time Filter: Its main advantage is discarding patterns that do not resolve quickly.
* Customizable: You can adjust the sensitivity of the pivot detection in the settings.
Important Disclaimer
This strategy is designed as an entry system and DOES NOT INCLUDE A STOP LOSS OR TAKE PROFIT.

QUANTUM MARKET ANALYZER X7QUANTUM MARKET ANALYZER X7 — Study Material (Learning & Teaching Guide)
What this tool is (and isn’t)
QUANTUM MARKET ANALYZER X7 is a multi-factor TradingView indicator that summarizes many classic signals into one dashboard. It does not predict the future or guarantee profits. It simply scores what is happening now using oscillators, moving averages, order-block behavior, trendline/channel context, Supertrend bias, and volume/flow clues—so you can make structured, risk-aware decisions.
________________________________________
Quick start (for brand-new traders)
1. Add the indicator to a chart.
2. Pick an Analysis Timeframe (e.g., 60-min for day trading, 4-hour for swing).
3. Read the Summary tile first; then check Oscillators → MAs → OB/Trendline/Supertrend → Volume.
4. Take trades only when multiple sections agree, and always plan stop loss and size before entry.
________________________________________
How the dashboard is built (section by section)
Below you’ll learn what each section measures, how the numbers are produced, and how to interpret them. The script converts each sub-signal into a small integer (e.g., +2, +1, 0, −1, −2). These are summed into section totals and then into a Summary score.
1) Summary (the combined score)
• What it is: The grand total of all sections (Oscillators + Moving Averages + Advanced: OB, Trendline/Channel, Supertrend, Volume).
• How it’s labeled:
o Large positive total → BUY / STRONG BUY
o Around zero → NEUTRAL
o Large negative total → SELL / STRONG SELL
• How to use: Treat it as a headline, not a trigger. Confirm with the sections below and price action.
________________________________________
2) Oscillators (momentum / overbought–oversold)
Inputs used on your chosen timeframe:
• RSI(14):
o 70 → bearish pressure (−)
o <30 → bullish pressure (+)
• Stochastic (14):
o 80 overbought (−), <20 oversold (+)
• CCI(20):
o +100 (−), <−100 (+)
• Williams %R(14):
o −20 overbought (−), <−80 oversold (+)
• MACD(12,26,9):
o MACD line > Signal → (+), below → (−)
• Momentum(10): >0 → (+), <0 → (−)
• ROC(9): >+2% → (+), <−2% → (−)
• Bollinger Bands(20,2):
o Price > Upper band → (−), < Lower band → (+)
How it scores: Each item contributes between −2 and +2 (or −1/+1 for some). The Oscillator total is their sum.
How to use: Oscillators excel for timing. Favor longs when the total is clearly positive and exiting or avoiding when clearly negative.
________________________________________
3) Moving Averages (trend/structure)
MAs used: SMA(10/20/50/100/200) and EMA(10/20/50).
Scoring logic: Compares price vs each MA:
• Price > MA by >2% → +2 (strongly bullish)
• Price > MA by 0–2% → +1
• Price < MA by 0–2% → −1
• Price < MA by >2% → −2
How to use: A clearly positive MA total suggests trend alignment for longs; clearly negative favors shorts or flat. Mixed readings → treat as range/transition.
________________________________________
4) Order-Block (OB) breakout analysis (support/resistance from clustered reactions)
What it approximates: The script searches a lookback window for pivot-like candles and counts repeated “touches” near that level (within ±0.2%) to infer support (bullish OB) or resistance (bearish OB).
Settings you can tune
• OB Lookback Period: how far back to search.
• Min OB Touches: more touches = stronger level.
Signals produced
• BULLISH BRK: Price crosses above the most recent bearish OB (resistance → breakout).
• BEARISH BRK: Price crosses below the most recent bullish OB (support → breakdown).
• ABOVE SUP / BELOW RES: Price position relative to the latest OB levels.
How to use: Use OB with MAs and Volume. Best when a breakout comes with trend alignment and volume expansion.
________________________________________
5) Trendline / Channel analysis (context envelope)
Rather than a single diagonal line, this module forms a dynamic channel:
• Finds highest high and lowest low over your Trendline Lookback.
• Builds a midline = (highest + lowest)/2.
• Creates an upper/lower channel by multiplying the range with Channel Width Multiplier.
Signals produced
• UPPER BRK: Price > upper channel (bullish expansion)
• LOWER BRK: Price < lower channel (bearish expansion)
• ABOVE MID / BELOW MID: Bias zone inside channel
How to use: Treat UPPER/LOWER breaks as momentum context. Confirm with MAs and Volume before acting.
________________________________________
6) Supertrend (ATR-based bias)
• Uses ta.supertrend(ATR Multiplier, ATR Period) on your analysis timeframe.
• Signal:
o BULLISH when Supertrend flips to trend-up state
o BEARISH when it flips to trend-down
Tuning tips:
• Higher ATR Multiplier (e.g., 6) → fewer, higher-quality flips.
• Lower multiplier → more responsive, more noise.
How to use: Use Supertrend as a trend filter. Avoid fighting it unless higher-timeframe context disagrees and you have strong confluence.
________________________________________
7) Volume/Flow analysis (participation & pressure)
This section combines several volume-based tools:
1. Volume Spike vs MA
o Volume MA Period (default 20)
o Volume Spike Threshold (e.g., 1.5×)
o If current volume / MA > threshold → spike.
2. OBV vs OBV-MA → Accumulation (+) / Distribution (−)
3. VPT vs VPT-MA → Price-volume trend alignment (+/−)
4. MFI(14): >70 (−), <30 (+)
5. Accumulation/Distribution vs its MA → (+/−)
Scoring:
• Big spike with up bar → +2; with down bar → −2
• Each of OBV, VPT, MFI, A/D adds +1 or −1
Interpretation labels:
• HIGH ACC / ACCUM → constructive flow
• HIGH DIST / DISTRIB → selling pressure
• NEUTRAL → no edge
How to use: Favor setups where directional signals + trend + volume point the same way.
________________________________________
Putting it together — a repeatable reading order
1. Summary: What’s the combined bias?
2. Oscillators: Is momentum supportive or stretched?
3. MAs: Is price aligned with the trend structure?
4. OB & Trendline/Channel: Are we breaking key levels/zones?
5. Supertrend: Is the higher-level bias with you or against you?
6. Volume: Is there participation to confirm the move?
Only act when at least 3–4 sections agree and you can define a logical stop and position size.
________________________________________
Parameter tuning (step-by-step)
1. Choose timeframe:
o 15–60m for active trading; 4h–1D for swing.
2. Oscillators:
o Keep defaults first; later tighten or loosen thresholds only if you’ve tested.
3. Moving Averages:
o The script’s built-in 0–2% bands around each MA are sensible.
o If your market is very volatile, you can consider widening the 2% threshold to reduce whipsaws (requires code edit).
4. Order Blocks:
o Start with OB Lookback ~50 and Min Touches = 2.
o Increase touches for fewer, stronger zones.
5. Trendline/Channel:
o Longer Trendline Lookback and smaller Channel Width → tighter channel (more breaks).
o Shorter lookback and larger width → fewer breaks.
6. Supertrend:
o If you get too many flips, raise ATR Multiplier.
o If it’s lagging, lower it slightly.
7. Volume:
o For quieter instruments, reduce the Threshold (e.g., 1.2×).
o For very liquid/active markets, 1.5–2.0× works well.
________________________________________
Example playbooks (for practice)
A) Pro-trend long continuation
• Summary: BUY or STRONG BUY
• MAs: clearly positive
• Supertrend: BULLISH
• OB/Trendline: ABOVE MID or UPPER BRK
• Volume: ACCUM or HIGH ACC
Plan: Enter on a minor pullback; stop below recent structure; scale out at logical resistance.
B) Mean-reversion short (cautious)
• Oscillators: multiple overbought readings (RSI>70, price > BB upper)
• MAs: still positive (trend up), so this is countertrend
• Volume: no spike
Plan: If you must, take smaller size, tighter stop, faster targets. Prefer waiting for alignment instead.
C) Breakout with confirmation
• OB: BULLISH BRK of a known resistance
• Trendline/Channel: UPPER BRK
• Volume: spike with up bar
• Supertrend: recently flipped up
Plan: Enter on retest or structured continuation; define stop under breakout level.
________________________________________
Common pitfalls to avoid
• Acting on one section alone. Confluence matters.
• Chasing after long candles without volume follow-through.
• Ignoring timeframe alignment. Check the next higher timeframe.
• Oversizing trades just because “Summary = Strong Buy/Sell.”
• Moving stops farther instead of accepting a planned loss.
________________________________________
Practice & evaluation routine
1. Replay mode (TradingView Bar Replay) to practice reading the tiles in order.
2. Journal each trade: which sections agreed, where stop/target were, outcome.
3. Weekly review: Were losing trades missing confirmation? Did you respect size rules?
4. Iterate cautiously: Change one setting at a time and observe for a week.
________________________________________
Frequently asked questions
Q: Is the Summary score weighted?
A: Each sub-signal contributes small integers; totals from Oscillators, MAs, and Advanced sections are added without fancy weighting, keeping it transparent.
Q: Can I use this as a standalone system?
A: It’s best used as a decision support layer with your own risk rules, not as a mechanical “buy/sell” machine.
Q: Which timeframe is best?
A: The one that matches your holding period. Always confirm with at least one higher timeframe.

Suggested classroom flow (for teaching)
1. Session 1: Oscillators only → identify good vs stretched momentum.
2. Session 2: Moving Averages → trend structure and bias.
3. Session 3: OB + Trendline/Channel → location and breakouts.
4. Session 4: Supertrend + Volume → confirmation and participation.
5. Session 5: Confluence building → case studies and journaling.
6. Session 6: Risk management, sizing, and review habits.
