Divergence Indicator [Trendoscope®]🎲 New Divergence Indicator by Trendoscope
Our latest Divergence Indicator revolutionizes the way traders identify market trends and potential reversals. Built upon the robust foundation of the Zigzag Trend Divergence Detector and inline with our recent implementation of the Divergence Goggles indicator, this tool is designed to be intuitive yet powerful, making it an essential addition to any trader's toolkit.
We received several queries on extending the Divergence Goggles to last N bars instead of using an interactive widget. Though it is possible, we thought the better approach is to enable the indicator to use any oscillator and trend indicator in order to define the divergence.
🎯 Key Features
Flexible Oscillator Integration : Choose from a wide range of built-in oscillators or import your own, including options like the innovative Multiband Oscillator. This versatility extends to using volume indicators like OBV for divergence calculations, broadening the scope of analysis.
Trend Identification Versatility : Utilize built-in methods like Zigzag and MA Difference, or integrate external trend indicators. Our system adapts to various methods, ensuring you have the right tools for precise trend identification.
Customizable Zigzag Sensitivity : Adjust the Zigzag based on your chosen oscillator's sensitivity to ensure divergence lines are accurate and visually coherent.
Repainting vs. Delayed Signals : Tailor the indicator to your strategy by choosing between immediate repainting signals and slightly delayed but more stable signals.
🎯 Understanding Divergence: Key Rules
Bullish Divergence
Happens only in downtrend
Observed on Pivot Lows
Price makes lower low whereas oscillator makes higher low, indicating weakness and possible reversal
Bearish Divergence
Happens only in uptrend
Observed on Pivot Highs
Price makes higher high whereas oscillator makes lower high, indicating weakness and possible reversal
Bullish Hidden Divergence
Happens only in uptrend
Observed on Pivot Lows
Price makes higher low, whereas indicator makes lower low due to price consolidation. In bullish trend, this is considered as bullish as the price gets a breather and get ready to surge further.
Bearish Hidden Divergence
Happens only in downtrend
Observed on Pivot Highs
Price makes lower high whereas oscillator makes higher high due to price consolidation. In bearish trend, this is considered as bearish as the price gets a breather and get ready to fall further.

🎲 Using the Divergence Indicator: A Step-by-Step Guide
🎯 Step 1 - Selecting the Oscillator
Customize your analysis by choosing from a variety of oscillators or importing your preferred one. Options are available to select a range of built-in oscillators and the loopback length. However, if the oscillator that user want to use is not in the list, they can simply load the oscillator from the indicator library and use it as an external signal.
In our current example, we are using a custom oscillator called - Multiband Oscillator
This also means, the indicator option is not limited to oscillators. Users can even make use of volume indicators such as OBV for the calculation of divergence.
🎯 Step 2 - Choosing the Trend Identification Method
Select from our built-in methods or integrate an external indicator to accurately identify market trends. Trend is one of the key parameters of divergence type identification. Trend can be identified mathematically by various methods. Some of them are as simple as above or below 200 moving average and some can follow trend based indicators such as supertrend and others can be very complex.
To cater for a wider audience, here too we have provided the option to use an external trend indicator. The simple condition for the external trend indicator is that it should return positive value for uptrend and negative value for downtrend.
Other than that, we also have 2 built in trend identification methods.
Zigzag - The trend is defined by the starting pivot of divergence line. If the starting pivot is Higher High or Higher Low, then it is considered uptrend. And if the starting pivot is either Lower Low or Lower High, then we consider it as downtrend.
MA Difference - In this case, the difference between the moving average of pivots joining the divergence line will determine the trend. It is considered uptrend if the moving average increased from starting pivot to ending pivot of the divergence line, and it is considered downtrend if the moving average decreased from starting pivot to the ending pivot of the divergence line.
🎯 Step 3 - Adjusting Zigzag Sensitivity
Fine-tune the Zigzag to match the oscillator's sensitivity, ensuring divergence lines are accurate and visually coherent.
🎯 Step 4 - Managing Repainting
Understand the implications of repainting in the last pivot of the Zigzag and choose between immediate or delayed signals based on your trading strategy. The last pivot of the zigzag repaint by design. This is not necessarily a bad thing. Users can just choose not to use the last pivot, but instead use the last but one for all the calculations. But, this also means, the signals will be delayed.
Indicator provides option to use repainting signal vs delayed signal. If you select the repaint option, the signals are shown immediately as and when they occur. But, there is a possibility that these signals change when the new price candles change zigzag pivot.
If you chose not to select the repaint option, then the divergence signals may lag by a few bars.

Day High-Low Difference ( The one trader )The "Day High-Low Difference" candle tool is an indicator that calculates and visually represents the difference between the highest price (day high) and the lowest price (day low) within each candle on a given chart. This tool is useful for traders and analysts to quickly assess the volatility or range of price movement within individual candles.
Captain Backtest Model [TFO]Created by @imjesstwoone and @mickey1984, this trade model attempts to capture the expansion from the 10:00-14:00 EST 4h candle using just 3 simple steps. All of the information presented in this description has been outlined by its creators, all I did was translate it to Pine Script. All core settings of the trade model may be edited so that users can test several variations, however this description will cover its default, intended behavior using NQ 5m as an example.
Step 1 is to identify our Price Range. In this case, we are concerned with the highest high and the lowest low created from 6:00-10:00 EST.
Step 2 is to wait for either the high or low of said range to be taken out. Whichever side gets taken first determines the long/short bias for the remainder of the Trade Window (i.e. if price takes the range high, bias is long, and vice versa). Bias must be determined by 11:15 EST, otherwise no trades will be taken. This filter is intended to weed out "choppy" trading days.
Step 3 is to wait for a retracement and enter with a close through the previous candle's high (if long biased) or low (if short biased). There are a couple toggleable criteria that we use to define a retracement; one is checking for opposite close candles that indicate a pullback; another is checking if price took the previous candle's low (if long biased) or high (if short biased).
This trade model was initially tested for index futures, particularly ES and NQ, using a 5m chart, however this indicator allows us to backtest any symbol on any timeframe. Creators @imjesstwoone and @mickey1984 specified a 5 point stop loss on ES and a 25 point stop loss on NQ with their testing.
I've personally found some success in backtesting NQ 5m using a 25 point stop loss and 75 point profit target (3:1 R). Enabling the Use Fixed R:R parameter will ensure that these stops and targets are utilized, otherwise it will enter and hold the position until the close of the Trade Window.
Opening Range Gaps [TFO]This indicator displays Opening Range Gaps with an adjustable time window. Its intention is to capture the discrepancy between the close price of previous and new Real Trading Hours (RTH) sessions, i.e. yesterday's close compared to today's open. A gap will be drawn from this area with a solid line denoting its midpoint, and dashed lines denoting the upper and lower quartiles of its range. Its color is determined by whether the new session open price is above or below the previous session close.
The Gap Session parameter allows users to define the specific time window for which to capture the "gap" in price. Using U.S. index futures as an example, we can use 16:00 - 09:30 (EST) to capture the discrepancy between the previous day's close price and the current day's open price. However, this parameter is left as adjustable for users that may want to observe different markets or simply experiment with different time windows.
Show Session Delineations will draw vertical timestamps denoting the start and end times of the provided Gap Session. Track Start Price serves as a visual aid to track the initial price of the Gap Session until its end price is validated, for easy visual verification of a gap's upper and lower bounds. With both options turned off, the indicator will only display the gap boxes and lines, as shown here:
Extend Boxes will draw all gaps with an indefinite extension to the right. This can get messy with a large number of boxes, which is why we have a Keep Last parameter to limit how many sessions' drawings should be stored. Any drawings that were made beyond this number of sessions in the past will automatically be deleted.
The Timeframe Limit will dictate that the indicator as a whole will only draw objects on timeframes less than or equal to this timeframe, determined by the user. In some cases this may help users avoid resolution errors which may arise from using timeframes that are too large for a given session. For example, if a user wanted to track a Gap Session of 16:15-09:30, the Timeframe Limit should be set to 15 minutes because the close price at 16:15 cannot be observed on a 30 minute chart (or greater).
Harmonic PatternsHarmonic Patterns
Harmonic Pattern utilizes the recognition of specific structures that possess distinct and consecutive Fibonacci ratio alignments that quantify and validate harmonic patterns. These patterns calculate the Fibonacci aspects of these price structures to identify highly probable reversal points in the financial markets. This methodology assumes that harmonic patterns, like many patterns and cycles in life, continually repeat.
Input Parameters:
Zigzag Setup:
These group of parameters are used to identify the swing points. The script also draws the Zigzag line and swing labels based on these parameters.
Harmonic Pattern Setup:
Ignore XD leg calculations – Optionally one can choose to ignore the XD leg calculation.
Fixed value leg offset % - Fixed value leg parameters are such parameters where single value Fibonacci value is used. This makes pattern identification very rare. To overcome this one can input % value which would be used to derive the range of Fibonacci numbers for pattern identification. E.g. XD leg in Bat pattern has fixed leg of 88.6%, If we input 5% as fixed value leg offset % then instead of fixed value of 88.6%, script calculates range as 88.6% + 5% (Value 1) and 88.6% - 5% (Value 2) and uses the same for pattern identification.
The script plots a diamond shape label on the last candle of the chart. The label has been enabled with a tooltip which shows number of patterns of each type along with the time where latest pattern is located.
This script covers harmonic patterns listed in the table below. Each harmonic pattern has bullish and bearish variants. All these patterns have 4 legs known as XABCD.
The Patterns have been configured as specified in the table below. Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 to understand how to read and interpret the table.

Spongebob [TFO]This Spongebob indicator is an experiment with the newly released polyline drawing features in Pine Script. As someone that enjoys a challenge, I thought of a complex subject to draw with polylines, and Spongebob was one of the first things that came to mind due to his wavy body shape. Although, other features like the shoulders, shoes, and hands proved to be much more difficult than the body shape itself.
With this indicator enabled, Spongebob will be automatically be drawn on the last confirmed bar of the current chart, and should mostly auto-fit to any symbol's price axis through use of the Average True Range (ATR) function. ATR allows us to get the average range of the most recent bars (in this case I used 50 bars). I used this as a base value from which to scale and determine various heights of each body shape, like the radius of the eyes, the length of the pants, etc. - that way, it would scale to any price axis, from forex to index futures.
Attached is a picture of the indicator (left) compared to my subject reference (right). I'm honestly surprised at how well it came out, and how intuitive it was to form the majority of my shapes using polylines. I'm really happy with how this project turned out, and may have to attempt more drawings in the future!
ICT NWOG/NDOG [Source Code] (fadi)New Week Opening Gap (NWOG) and New Day Opening Gap (NDOG) are areas on the chart where price tend to react to and has the potential of moving from one gap to the next. These gaps can act as support and resistance zones where price can bounce of, or go through and retest. Areas of interest are the high, low, the Consequent Encroachment (C.E.), which is the middle between high and low of each gap.
Event Horizon is the 50% distance between two NWOGs and price tend to react to, and could act as Premium/ Discount between two NWOGs.
New Week Opening Gap (NWOG)
The difference between Friday close, and Sunday open. Consequent Encroachment (C.E.) is the area between two NWOGs.
Settings NWOG
- The Colors in the form of Current/Previous and line style for NWOG
- Background color to use for Current/Previous
- Number of NWOGs to use by the indicator (ICT recommends using minimum of 5)
- Extend Configuration:
-- Always Extend all NWOGs
-- Above and below only Shows the immediate two NWOGs that are above and below current price. These two NWOGs are recalculated as price moves
-- Any that is near current price Any NWOG that is near the current price, this can result in multiple NWOGs being displayed, with some overlapping
- Event Horizon only applicable when using the "Above and below only settings"
-- Show Date label and type of gap
New Day Opening Gap (NDOG)
The difference between Yesterday's close and Today's open.
Settings NDOG
- The Colors in the form of Current/Previous and line style for NDOG
- Background color to use for Current/Previous
- Number of NDOGs to use by the indicator, default is 1 but price tend to react to previous ones as well
- Extend Configuration:
-- Always Extend all NDOGs
-- Above and below only Shows the immediate two NDOGs that are above and below current price. These two NDOGs are recalculated as price moves
-- Any that is near current price Any NDOG that is near the current price, this can result in multiple NDOGs being displayed, with some overlapping
-- Show Date label and type of gap
Other Settings
Number of candles to use in calculation is used to calculate the size of the candles in order to derive the distance from current price. If current candle sizes is more important than over longer period of time then use 14 or near that number
Factor multiplier for distance test is the number above times X value. Lower timeframes require a higher number than a larger timeframe. If day trading, a value between 10 and 20 is probably best. If swing trading, a value between 5 and 10 is probably best.
Buffer How many candles beyond current price to extend the gaps by. this is helpful to provide cleaner view of the price action
Session Breakout/Sweep with alertsThis indicator is based on popular London breakout strategy. but as I noticed that it don't work good with breakouts so I made it to be used as reversal entries as well. By default the timing is set for asian session but you can change it according to your need.
Use as breakout
Use as liquidity sweep
Note:
On some pairs the timing changes automatically (I don't know why), if you face this issue , go to settings and set the timing accordingly and save it as templet so that you don't have to change it every time you load the chart with timing issue.
I hope you guys find it useful. Do share your though and feedback in comments.

For the math lovers
I started creating the ZigZag++ based on the MT4 calculation as I found it better performing than the tradingview inbuilt one. I have revised the calculation couple of times and now the final calculation is simple yet more accurate for my analysis.
First, I observe the market direction for the last Depth setting by comparing the rate at which high values reduce and low values increase. When the number of ticks set by Deviation is crossed and the last cross is more than the Backstep candles, then we have our ZigZag points.
These are the points we use in our Fibonacci calculation.
Checkout ZigLib below to use the same logic in your scripts.
Sample usage
This is a 4 Hour configuration with the default settings.
When the trend reversed, some key points I watch are 0.618 and 0.5. The market retraced back and formed the new point for the next ZigZag line on that level. This market behaviour happens quite often on these Fibonacci points. I would be looking for reversal or a break in this zone to know the next step.

Divergences RefurbishedJust as "a butterfly can flap its wings over a flower in China and cause a hurricane in the Caribbean" (Edward Lorenz), small divergences in markets can signal big trading opportunities.
█Introduction
This is a script forked from LonesomeTheBlue's Divergence for Many Indicators v4.
It is a script that checks for divergence between price and many indicators.
In this version, I added more indicators and also added 40 symbols to check for divergences.
More info on the original script can be found here:
█ Improvements
The following improvements have been implemented over v4:
1. Added parameters to customize indicators.
2. Added new indicators:
- Stoch RSI
- Volume Oscillator
- PVT (Price Volume Trend)
- Ultimate Oscillator
- Fisher Transform
- Z-Score/T-Score
3. Now there is the possibility of using 2 external indicators.
4. New option to show tooltips inside labels.
This allows you to save space on the screen if you choose the option to only show the number of divergences or just the abbreviations.
5. New option to show additional text next to the indicator name.
This allows for grouping of indicators and symbols and better visualization, whether through emojis, for example.
6. Added 40 customizable symbols to check for divergences.
7. Option "show only the first letter" of the indicator replaced by: "show the abbreviation of the indicator".
Reason: the indicator abbreviation is more informative and easier to read.
8. Script converted to PineScript version 5.
█ CONCEPTS
Below I present a brief description of the available indicators.
1. Moving Average Convergence/Divergence (MACD):
Shows the difference between short-term and long-term exponential moving averages.
2. MACD Histogram:
Shows the difference between MACD and its signal line.
3. Relative Strength Index (RSI):
Measures the relative strength of recent price gains to recent price losses of an asset.
4. Stochastic Oscillator (Stoch):
Compares the current price of an asset to its price range over a specified time period.
5. Stoch RSI:
Stochastic of RSI.
6. Commodity Channel Index (CCI):
Measures the relationship between an asset's current price and its moving average.
7. Momentum: Shows the difference between the current price and the price a few periods ago.
Shows the difference between the current price and the price of a certain period in the past.
8. Chaikin Money Flow (CMF):
A variation of A/D that takes into account the daily price variation and weighs trading volume accordingly. Accumulation/Distribution (A/D) identifies buying and selling pressure by tracking the flow of money into and out of an asset based on volume patterns.
9. On-Balance Volume (OBV):
Identify divergences between trading volume and an asset's price.
Sum of trading volume when the price rises and subtracts volume when the price falls.
10. Money Flow Index (MFI):
Measures volume pressure in a range of 0 to 100.
Calculates the ratio of volume when the price goes up and when the price goes down.
11. Volume Oscillator (VO):
Identify divergences between trading volume and an asset's price. Ratio of change of volume, from a fast period in relation to a long period.
12. Price-Volume Trend (PVT):
Identify the strength of an asset's price trend based on its trading volume. Cumulative change in price with volume factor. The PVT calculation is similar to the OBV calculation, but it takes into account the percentage price change multiplied by the current volume, plus the previous PVT value.
13. Ultimate Oscillator (UO):
Combines three different time periods to help identify possible reversal points.
14. Fisher Transform (FT):
Normalize prices into a Gaussian normal distribution.
15. Z-Score/T-Score: Shows the difference between the current price and the price a few periods ago. I is a statistical measurement that indicates how many standard deviations a data point is from the mean of a data set.
When to use t-score instead of z-score? When the sample size is small (length < 30).
Here, the use of z-score or t-score is chosen automatically based on the length parameter.
█ What to look for
The operation is simple. The script checks for divergences between the price and the selected indicators.
Now with the possibility of using multiple symbols, it is possible to check divergences between different assets.
A well-described view on divergences can be found in this cheat sheet:
◈ Examples with SPY ETF versus indicators:
1. Regular bullish divergence with external indicator:
1. Regular bearish divergence with Fisher Transform:
1. Positive hidden divergence with Momentum indicator:
1. Negative hidden divergence with RSI:
◈ Examples with SPY ETF versus other symbols:
1. Regular bearish divergence with European Stoch Market:
2. Regular bearish divergence with DXY inverted:
3. Regular bullish divergence with Taiwan Dollar:
4. Regular bearish divergence with US10Y (10-Year US Treasury Note):
5. Regular bullish divergence with QQQ ETF (Nasdaq 100):
6. Regular bullish divergence with ARKK ETF (ARK Innovation):
7.Positive hidden divergence with RSP ETF (S&P 500 Equal Weight):
8. Negative hidden divergence with EWZ ETF (Brazil):
◈ Examples with BTCUSD versus other symbols:
1. Regular bearish divergence with BTCUSDLONGS from Bitfinex:
2. Regular bearish divergence with BLOK ETF (Amplify Transformational Data Sharing):
3. Negative hidden divergence with NATGAS (Natural Gas):
4. Positive hidden divergence with TOTALDEFI (Total DeFi Market Cap):
█ Conclusion
The symbols available to check divergences were chosen in such a way as to cover the main markets, in the most generic way possible.
You can adjust them according to your needs.
A trader in the American market, for example, could add more ETFs, American stocks, and sectoral indices, such as the XLF (Financial Select Sector SPDR Fund), the XLK (Technology Select Sector SPDR), etc.
On the other hand, a cryptocurrency trader could add more currency pairs and sector indicators, such as BTCUSDSHORTS (Bitfinex), USDT.D (Tether Dominance), etc.
If the chart becomes too cluttered, you can use the option to show only the number of divergences or only the indicator abbreviations.
Or even disable certain indicators and symbols, if they are not of interest to you.
I hope this script is useful.
Don't forget to support LonesomeTheBlue's work too.
Custom SMA Plot It creates a custom indicator named "Custom SMA Plot (CSP)" that overlays on a price chart. The indicator fetches the closing prices and calculates a 14-period simple moving average (SMA) of these prices. This SMA is then visually represented as a blue line, which starts from the SMA value of the bar 100 candles ago and extends to the current bar's SMA value. The line has a thickness of 1 unit.
When price breaks over wave go long.
When price breaks below wave go short.
Historical Pattern Matcher [Trendoscope]Do you believe in patterns and think price movements are more likely to follow historical patterns? If yes, this is an indicator for you.
🎲 Concept
The patterns in this script are not a named or known pattern. But, it can be any pattern that happen to repeat again and again over a period of time.
The indicator collects the following information over a period of time.
Collects all possible patterns for specified number of pivots based on relation between each pivot prices. (Default 6)
Keeps track of all the possible patterns for the given pivots and number of occurrences of such patterns over a period of time.
Collects the movement of next pivot (in terms of retracement ratio) after the pattern has formed for each occurrence.
Keeps track of the last occurrence of each pattern collected
And the indicator presents on chart following information
Current Pattern drawing based on last confirmed pivot.
Current Pattern drawing based on current unconfirmed pivot in the opposite direction.
Projection range based on historical retracement ratio for both patterns
Detailed info on last occurrence and overall occurrences.
Last occurrence of both confirmed and unconfirmed pivot patterns.
Please note that, if the patterns have not been repeated over a period, then it will not be shown on the screen. Hence, it is perfectly normal to not see any projection. This can happen when the current pattern has not been repeated any time before.
🎲 Details
When you load the indicator on the chart, you may see the following patterns and projections.
You may also notice, in the pattern details, information about the last occurrence of the pattern. If you scroll on your chart to the left to the given data and time, you can observe how the past occurrence of the pattern has formed and the price movement past that point.
For example, last occurrence of pattern based on confirmed pivot happened on 02-Jun-2023 00:00 UTC time
And last occurrence of pattern based on unconfirmed pivot happened on 27-Apr-2023 22:00 UTC time
🎲 Settings
Settings are minimal, and here is the meaning of them.
Most important setting here is the number of pivots forming the pattern.
🎲 Caution
The indicator is designed to present the projection based on historical occurrences of similar price pattern. This does not necessarily mean the patterns are supposed to be bullish or bearish. But, it will certainly give users an idea of what happened when similar price action presented historically.
Note to developers This script makes use of new pine script feature - maps
Bull and Bear Market '20% IndicatorThis indicator uses the somewhat crude method of calculating bear/bull markets using the following popular ' 20% rule ':
A bear market begins when an asset trades 20% below its recent high for more than two months, a bear market ends when an asset trades 20% above its recent low for one month or more.
The 1d time-frame should be used, here's why:
"A bear market begins when an asset trades 20% below its recent high for more than two months."
If we take the standard trading month to be around 20-22 days (excluding weekends), then two months would be approximately 40-44 days. This is why we set the `bearDuration` to 60 days in the script to capture the "more than two months" criteria. Using a daily timeframe, 60 bars represent roughly 3 months (since markets are not open every day due to weekends and holidays).
"...a bear market ends when an asset trades 20% above its recent low for one month or more."
This is why the `bullDuration` is set to 20 days in the script, which represents roughly one trading month on a daily timeframe.
So, to capture the mentioned bear and bull market definitions, you'd want to apply the script on a daily (1d/1D) chart.
True Range/Expected MoveThis indicator plots the ratio of True Range/Expected Move of SPX. True Range is simple the high-low range of any period. Expected move is the amount that SPX is predicted to increase or decrease from its current price based on the current level of implied volatility. There are several choices of volatility indexes to choose from. The shift in color from red to green is set by default to 1 but can be adjusted in the settings.
Red bars indicate the true range was below the expected move and green bars indicate it was above. Because markets tend to overprice volatility it is expected that there would be more red bars than green. If you sell SPX or SPY option premium red days tend to be successful while green days tend to get stopped out. On a 1D chart it is interesting to look at the clusters of bar colors.
Master Pattern [LuxAlgo]The Master Pattern indicator is derived from the framework proposed by Wyckoff and automatically displays major/minor patterns and their associated expansion lines on the chart.
Liquidity levels are also included and can be used as targets/stops. Note that the Liquidity levels are plotted retrospectively as they are based on pivots.
🔶 USAGE
The Master Pattern indicator detects contraction phases in the markets (characterized by a lower high and higher low). The resulting average from the latest swing high/low is used as expansion line. Price breaking the contraction range upwards highlights a bullish master pattern, while a break downward highlights a bearish master pattern.
During the expansion phase price can tend to be stationary around the expansion level. This phase is then often followed by the price significantly deviating from the expansion line, highlighting a markup phase.
Expansion lines can also be used as support/resistance levels.
🔹 Major/Minor Patterns
The script can classify patterns as major or minor patterns.
Major patterns occur when price breaks both the upper and lower extremity of a contraction range, with their contraction area highlighted with a border, while minor patterns have only a single extremity broken.
🔶 SETTINGS
Contraction Detection Lookback: Lookback used to detect the swing points used to detect the contraction range.
Liquidity Levels: Lookback for the swing points detection used as liquidity levels. Higher values return longer term liquidity levels.
Show Major Pattern: Display major patterns.
Show Minor Pattern: Display minor patterns.
Price breakout and reversal [TCS] | PAThis indicator is designed to identify potential breaks and reversals in price movements for a financial instrument.
The indicator displays several elements to assist users in spotting specific market conditions:
1. High and Low Pivots : The indicator marks the highest and lowest points on the price chart within a customizable lookback period. These pivots represent important turning points in the price movement and serve as reference levels for potential breakouts and reversals.
2. Fair Value Line : A horizontal line is drawn at the midpoint between the high and low pivots. This line represents the "fair value" based on the recent price action. Traders may consider this level as a reference for evaluating the price's deviation from its average value.
3. Bullish Breakouts : When the closing price of the financial instrument crosses above the high pivot the indicator identifies a potential bullish breakout. This suggests a possible buying opportunity.
4. Bearish Breakouts : Conversely, a bearish breakout is identified when the closing price crosses below the low pivot. This may indicate a selling opportunity.
5. Fair Value Breakouts : In addition to regular breakouts, the indicator can detect breakouts based on the fair value line. If the closing price crosses above or below the fair value line, it may signal a fair value breakout, indicating the price's potential return to its average level.
6. Reversals : Reversal patterns are essential in technical analysis. The indicator identifies potential bullish and bearish reversals .
The indicator enhances its visual signals with geometric shapes (triangles and diamonds) placed above or below the price bars to represent different types of breakouts and reversals.
Moreover, the indicator can be configured to send alerts to the user when any of these specific events occur, helping traders stay informed and respond promptly to potential trading opportunities.

Bracket Trading VisualizerThe Bracket Trading Visualizer highlights locations in the past when a bracket trade would of won.
🔶 Purpose
Show the opportunities a trader had in the past to give a intuitive idea of how to trade the chart.
🔶 How It Works
Red color indicates the location a Short would of won.
Green color indicates the location a Long would of won.
Yellow color indicates the location a Long OR Short would of won.
Empty color indicates the location a Long OR Short would of Lost.
Empty color also indicates undecided, especially on the latest candles as the future has not been drawn yet.
🔶 What Is A Bracket Trade?
A bracket trade is when your take profit and stop loss are automatically set on entry.
Example: Take profit is set to 1%, Stop loss is set to 1%, when entering a trade the take and stop will set above and bellow the entry price by 1% each.
🔶 More Info
The default Take%/Stop% need to be increased for higher time frames as each candle moves larger distances.
The indicator crawls from left to right on each candle to check what part of that candle was a win for longs and shorts.
This Indicator updates past data based on current information, so empty areas are being filled in as new candles are created.
Because of pinescript limitations the script can only see 375 bars into the future. If a trade takes longer then 375 bars to finalize it will be empty color.
🔶 Theme Setup
It wont look as good with basic candles so set candles to "Bars" and color them white.
🔶 Experiments
Set a take profit larger then the stop loss and look at the opportunities, notice how there are Less.
Set a Stop Loss larger then the take profit and look at the opportunities, notice how there are More, including yellow overlaping.
🔶 Settings
Take %: Take Profit percent distance from the entry price
Stop %: Stop Loss percent distance from the entry price
Commission %: Commission is calculated twice for entry and exit. A 0.03% commission will increase take profit by 0.06% and decrease stop loss by 0.06%.
Calculation Bars Back: If you need to see more candles into the past increase this number, its purpose is to speed up calculation time, Higher number is slower. Also if things aren't drawing properly zoom out all the way then zoom back in.

Volume Forks [Trendoscope]🎲 Volume Forks - Advanced Price Analysis with Recursive Auto-Pitchfork and Angled Volume Profile
The Volume Forks Indicator is a comprehensive research tool that combines two innovative techniques, Recursive Auto-Pitchfork and Angled Volume Profile . This indicator provides traders with valuable insights into price dynamics by integrating accurate pitchfork drawing and volume analysis over angled levels. The indicator does following things
Detects Pitchfork formations automatically on the chart over Recursive Zigzag
Instead of drawing forks based on fib levels, volume distribution over ABC of pitchfork is calculated and drawn in the direction of the handle.
🎲 Brief about Pitchfork
Pitchfork is drawn when price forms ABC pattern. Pitchfork draws a series of parallel lines in the direction of trend which can be used for support and resistance.
There are many methods of drawing pitchfork. In all cases, a line joining BC will make the base of pitchfork and fork lines are drawn from different points of the base. All the fork lines will be parallel. But, the handle of the base defines the direction of fork lines. Classification of pitchfork is mainly based on the starting and ending points of the handle.
🎲 Regular Types
Here, end of the handle is always fixed and it will be the mid point of B and C.
🎯 Andrews Pitchfork
Handle starts from A and joins the base at mid of B and C.
Forks are drawn based on fib ratios from the handle
🎯 Schiff Pitchfork
Handle starts from Bar of A and price of middle of AB and joins the base at mid of B and C
Forks are drawn based on fib ratios from the handle
🎯 Modified Schiff Pitchfork
Handle starts from mid of A and B and joins the base at mid of B and C
Forks are drawn based on fib ratios from the handle
🎲 Inside Types
Here, C will act as end of the handle which joins the Base BC .
🎯 Andrews Pitchfork (Inside)
Handle starts from A and joins the base at C
Forks are drawn based on fib ratios from the handle
🎯 Schiff Pitchfork (Inside)
Handle starts from Bar of A and price of (A+B)/2 and joins the base at C
Forks are drawn based on fib ratios from the handle
🎯 Modified Schiff Pitchfork (Inside)
Handle starts from mid of A and B and joins the base at C
Forks are drawn based on fib ratios from the handle
🎲 Brief about Pitchfork
The Angled Volume Profile technique expands on the concept of volume profile by measuring volume distribution levels over angled levels rather than just horizontal levels. By selecting a starting point and angle interactively, traders can assess volume distribution within specific price trends. This feature is particularly useful for analysing volume dynamics in trending markets.
🎲 Settings
Indicator settings include few things which determine the scanning of pitchforks and few which determines drawing of volume profile lines.
Please note that, due to pine limitations of 500 lines, if there are too many formations on the chart, volume profile may not appear correctly. If that happens, please reduce the number of volume forks per formation.
Recursive Micro Zigzag🎲 Overview
Zigzag is basic building block for any pattern recognition algorithm. This indicator is a research-oriented tool that combines the concepts of Micro Zigzag and Recursive Zigzag to facilitate a comprehensive analysis of price patterns. This indicator focuses on deriving zigzag on multiple levels in more efficient and enhanced manner in order to support enhanced pattern recognition.
The Recursive Micro Zigzag Indicator utilises the Micro Zigzag as the foundation and applies the Recursive Zigzag technique to derive higher-level zigzags. By integrating these techniques, this indicator enables researchers to analyse price patterns at multiple levels and gain a deeper understanding of market behaviour.
🎲 Concept:
Micro Zigzag Base : The indicator utilises the Micro Zigzag concept to capture detailed price movements within each candle. It allows for the visualisation of the sequential price action within the candle, aiding in pattern recognition at a micro level.
Basic implementation of micro zigzag can be found in this link - Micro-Zigzag
Recursive Zigzag Expansion : Building upon the Micro Zigzag base, the indicator applies the Recursive Zigzag concept to derive higher-level zigzags. Through recursive analysis of the Micro Zigzag's pivots, the indicator uncovers intricate patterns and trends that may not be evident in single-level zigzags.
Earlier implementations of recursive zigzag can be found here:
Recursive Zigzag
Recursive Zigzag - Trendoscope
And the libraries
rZigzag
ZigzagMethods
The major differences in this implementation are
Micro Zigzag Base - Earlier implementation made use of standard zigzag as base whereas this implementation uses Micro Zigzag as base
Not cap on Pivot depth - Earlier implementation was limited by the depth of level 0 zigzag. In this implementation, we are trying to build the recursive algorithm progressively so that there is no cap on the depth of level 0 zigzag. But, if we go for higher levels, there is chance of program timing out due to pine limitations.
These algorithms are useful in automatically spotting patterns on the chart including Harmonic Patterns, Chart Patterns, Elliot Waves and many more.
Engulfing and Doji Scanner with SLThe Bullish Engulfing pattern occurs when the close is higher than the open, and scripts will look for this pattern by checking the difference in the close and open prices sufficiently in pips. Likewise, the Bearish Engulfing pattern occurs when the close is lower than the open, and scripts will look for this pattern by checking for sufficient difference in the open and close in pips.
The Doji pattern occurs when the absolute difference between the open and close prices is very small compared to the price range for that period. The script will look for these patterns by comparing the difference between the open and close prices by a certain percentage of the price range.
After the patterns are detected, the script will calculate the Stop Loss (SL) and Take Profit (TP) levels based on the parameters set. The SL level will be determined based on the lowest price range with certain adjustments, while the TP level is calculated using a 1:1 ratio to the SL distance.
This script will display arrows and Stop Loss and Take Profit labels on the chart to assist traders in identifying relevant patterns and levels. However, it is important to remember that these scripts only assist in the analysis of patterns and levels, and a more complete trading strategy and decision-making remains the responsibility of the trader.
