Silver BulletSilver Bullet is a trading tool built for finding cleaner, higher-probability setups. It focuses on key windows of market movement and adds helpful tools like daily range levels and candlestick patterns.
Whether you’re trading breakouts or reversals, Silver Bullet gives you a clearer view of the market and more confidence in your setups.
⸻
🔹 Trading Setup #1: Macro Time
The Macro Time setting offers two modes: Macro Bullet and Silver Bullet. Both help traders focus on specific times when the market tends to deliver clean moves.
• Macro Bullet is based on the high and low of a full macro session. It automatically detects the session’s range and bias, then offers optimal entries for either Long or Short setups. Once the session resolves, it provides Fibonacci-based levels for entry, target, and stop loss.
• Silver Bullet is based on ICT concepts and focuses on the hourly range for London, NY AM, and NY PM sessions. It’s designed for quick time blocks and highlights key levels as the session unfolds.
To use this setup, set Macro Time to “ICT Sessions” and select your preferred mode under Bullet Mode.
⸻
🔹 Trading Setup #2: Daily Range
Enable Daily Range to draw Fibonacci levels based on either the previous day’s candle or the current day’s developing range. These levels help you identify potential support, resistance, and midpoint zones throughout the day.
With the current day’s range, levels automatically update in real time as new highs or lows form — keeping your chart aligned with evolving price action.
⸻
🔹 Trading Setup #3: Candlestick Patterns
Turn on Candlestick Patterns to automatically highlight clean reversal signals such as Hammers, Hanging Men, Shooting Stars, and Tweezers. Each pattern is detected using specific criteria and trend filters to reduce noise and improve reliability. They work especially well as confirmation signals around key levels or session zones.
Silver Bullet brings structure, clarity, and precision to your intraday trading. By combining time-based bias, price action levels, and pattern recognition, it helps you trade with purpose — not guesswork. Use one setup or combine all three for a complete view of the market, tailored to your style and session of choice.

Internal Pivot Pattern [LuxAlgo]The Internal Pivot Pattern indicator is a novel method allowing traders to detect pivots without excessive delay on the chart timeframe, by using the lower timeframe data from a candle.
It features custom colors for candles and zigzag lines to help identify trends. A dashboard showing the accuracy of the pattern is also included.
🔶 USAGE
We define a pivot as the occurrence where the middle candle over a specific interval (for example, the most recent 21 bars) is the highest (pivot high) or the lowest (pivot low). This method commonly allows for identifying swing highs/lows on a trader's chart; however, this pattern can only be identified after a specific number of bars has been formed, rendering this pattern useless for real-time detection of swing highs/lows.
This indicator uses a different approach, removing the need to wait for candles to form on the user chart; instead, we check the lower timeframe data of the current candle and evaluate for the presence of a pivot given the internal data, effectively providing pivot confirmation at the candle close.
An internal pivot low pattern is indicative of a potential uptrend, while an internal pivot high is indicative of a potential downtrend.
Candles are colored based on the last internal pivot detected, with blue candle colors indicating that the most recent internal pivot is a pivot low, indicating an uptrend, while an orange candle color indicates that the most recent internal pivot is a pivot high, indicating a downtrend.
🔹 Timeframes
The timeframe setting allows controlling the amount of lower timeframe data to consider for the internal pivot detection. This setting must be lower than the user's chart timeframe.
Using a timeframe significantly lower than the user chart timeframe will evaluate a larger amount of data for the pivot detection, making it less frequent, while using a timeframe closer to the chart timeframe can make the internal pivot detection more frequent, and more prone to false positives.
🔹 Accuracy Dashboard
The Accuracy Dashboard allows evaluating how accurate the detected patterns are as a percentage, with a pattern being judged accurate if subsequent patterns are detected higher or lower than a previous one.
For example, an internal pivot low is judged accurate if the following internal pivot is higher than it, indicating that higher highs have been made.
This dashboard can be useful to determine the timeframe setting to maximize the respective internal pivot accuracy.
🔶 SETTINGS
Timeframe: Timeframe for detecting internal swings
Accuracy Dashboard: Enable or disable the Accuracy Dashboard.
🔹 Style
Internal Pivot High: Color of the dot displayed upon the detection of an internal pivot high
Internal Pivot Low: Color of the dot displayed upon the detection of an internal pivot low
Zig-Zag: Color of the zig-zag segments connecting each internal pivot
Candles: Enable candle coloring, with control over the color of the candles highlighting the detected trend

Volume Footprint Anomaly Scanner [PhenLabs]📊 PhenLabs - Volume Footprint Anomaly Scanner (VFAS)
Version: PineScript™ v6
📌 Description
The PhenLabs Volume Footprint Anomaly Scanner (VFAS) is an advanced Pine Script indicator designed to detect and highlight significant imbalances in buying and selling pressure within individual price bars. By analyzing a calculated "Delta" – the net difference between estimated buy and sell volume – and employing statistical Z-score analysis, VFAS pinpoints moments when buying or selling activity becomes unusually dominant. This script was created not in hopes of creating a "Buy and Sell" indicator but rather providing the user with a more in-depth insight into the intrabar volume delta and how it can fluctuate in unusual ways, leading to anomalies that can be capitalized on.
This indicator helps traders identify high-conviction points where strong market participants are active, signaling potential shifts in momentum or continuation of a trend. It aims to provide a clearer understanding of underlying market dynamics, allowing for more informed decision-making in various trading strategies, from identifying entry points to confirming trend strength.
🚀 Points of Innovation
● Z-Score for Delta Analysis : Utilizes statistical Z-scores to objectively identify statistically significant anomalies in buying/selling pressure, moving beyond simple, arbitrary thresholds.
● Dynamic Confidence Scoring : Assigns a multi-star confidence rating (1-4 stars) to each signal, factoring in high volume, trend alignment, and specific confirmation criteria, providing a nuanced view of signal strength.
● Integrated Trend Filtering : Offers an optional Exponential Moving Average (EMA)-based trend filter to ensure signals align with the broader market direction, reducing false positives in ranging markets.

📖 Usage Guidelines
Setting Categories
⚙️ Core Delta & Volume Engine
● Minimum Volume Lookback (Bars)
○ Default: 9
○ Range: Integer (e.g., 5-50)
○ Description: Defines the number of preceding bars used to calculate the average volume and delta. Bars with volume below this average won't be considered for high-volume signals. A shorter lookback is more reactive to recent changes, while a longer one provides a smoother average.
📈 Anomaly Detection Settings
Delta Z-Score Anomaly Threshold
○ Default: 2.5
○ Range: Float (e.g., 1.0-5.0+)
○ Description: The number of standard deviations from the mean that a bar's delta must exceed to be considered a significant anomaly. A higher threshold means fewer, but potentially stronger, signals. A lower threshold will generate more signals, which might include less significant events. Experiment to find the optimal balance for your trading style.
🔬 Context Filters
Enable Trend Filter
○ Default: False
○ Range: Boolean (True/False)
○ Description: When enabled, signals will only be generated if they align with the current market trend as determined by the EMAs (e.g., only bullish signals in an uptrend, bearish in a downtrend). This helps to filter out counter-trend noise.
● Trend EMA Fast
○ Default: 50
○ Range: Integer (e.g., 10-100)
○ Description: The period for the faster Exponential Moving Average used in the trend filter. In combination with the slow EMA, it defines the trend direction.
● Trend EMA Slow
○ Default: 200
○ Range: Integer (e.g., 100-400)
○ Description: The period for the slower Exponential Moving Average used in the trend filter. The relationship between the fast and slow EMA determines if the market is in an uptrend (fast > slow) or downtrend (fast < slow).
🎨 Visual & UI Settings
● Show Info Dashboard
○ Default: True
○ Range: Boolean (True/False)
○ Description: Toggles the visibility of the dashboard on the chart, which provides a summary of market trend and the last detected signal.
● Show Dashboard Tooltip
○ Default: True
○ Range: Boolean (True/False)
○ Description: Toggles a reminder message in the dashboard to hover over signal labels for more detailed information.
● Show Delta Anomaly Bar Colors
○ Default: True
○ Range: Boolean (True/False)
○ Description: Enables or disables the coloring of bars based on their delta direction and whether they represent a significant anomaly.
● Show Signal Labels
○ Default: True
○ Range: Boolean (True/False)
○ Description: Controls the visibility of the “📈” or “📉” labels that appear on the chart when a delta anomaly signal is generated.
🔔 Alert Settings
Alert on Delta Anomaly
○ Default: True
○ Range: Boolean (True/False)
○ Description: When enabled, this setting allows you to set up alerts in TradingView that will trigger whenever a new bullish or bearish delta anomaly is detected.
✅ Best Use Cases
Early Trend Reversal / Continuation Detection: Identify strong surges of buying/selling pressure at key support/resistance levels that could indicate a reversal or the continuation of a strong move.
● Confirmation of Breakouts: Use high-confidence delta anomalies to confirm the validity of price breakouts, indicating strong conviction behind the move.
● Entry and Exit Points: Pinpoint precise entry opportunities when anomalies align with your trading strategy, or identify potential exhaustion signals for exiting trades.
● Scalping and Day Trading: The indicator’s sensitivity to intraday buying/selling imbalances makes it highly effective for short-term trading strategies.
● Market Sentiment Analysis: Gain a real-time understanding of underlying market sentiment by observing the prevalence and strength of bullish vs. bearish anomalies.
⚠️ Limitations
Estimated Delta: The script uses a simplified method to estimate delta based on bar close relative to its range, not actual order book or footprint data. While effective, it’s an approximation.
● Sensitivity to Z-Score Threshold: The effectiveness heavily relies on the `Delta Z-Score Anomaly Threshold`. Too low, and you’ll get many false positives; too high, and you might miss valid signals.
● Confirmation Criteria: The 4-star confidence level’s “confirmation” relies on specific subsequent bar conditions and previous confirmed signals, which might be too strict or specific for all contexts.
● Requires Context: While powerful, VFAS is best used in conjunction with other technical analysis tools and price action to form a comprehensive trading strategy. It is not a standalone “buy/sell” signal.
💡 What Makes This Unique
Statistical Rigor: The application of Z-score analysis to bar delta provides an objective, statistically-driven way to identify true anomalies, moving beyond arbitrary thresholds.
● Multi-Factor Confidence Scoring: The unique 1-4 star confidence system integrates multiple market dynamics (volume, trend alignment, specific follow-through) into a single, easy-to-interpret rating.
● User-Friendly Design: From the intuitive dashboard to the detailed signal tooltips, the indicator prioritizes clear and accessible information for traders of all experience levels.
🔬 How It Works
1. Bar Delta Calculation:
● The script first estimates the “buy volume” and “sell volume” for each bar. This is done by assuming that volume proportional to the distance from the low to the close represents buying, and volume proportional to the distance from the high to the close represents selling.
● How this contributes: This provides a proxy for the net buying or selling pressure (delta) within that specific price bar, even without access to actual footprint data.
2. Volume & Delta Z-Score Analysis:
● The average volume over a user-defined lookback period is calculated. Bars with volume less than twice this average are generally considered of lower interest.
● The Z-score for the calculated bar delta is computed. The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the current bar’s delta is from its average delta over the `Minimum Volume Lookback` period.
● How this contributes: A high positive Z-score indicates a bullish delta anomaly (significantly more buying than usual), while a high negative Z-score indicates a bearish delta anomaly (significantly more selling than usual). This identifies statistically unusual levels of pressure.
3. Trend Filtering (Optional):
● Two Exponential Moving Averages (Fast and Slow EMA) are used to determine the prevailing market trend. An uptrend is identified when the Fast EMA is above the Slow EMA, and a downtrend when the Fast EMA is below the Slow EMA.
● How this contributes: If enabled, the indicator will only display bullish delta anomalies during an uptrend and bearish delta anomalies during a downtrend, helping to confirm signals within the broader market context and avoid counter-trend signals.
4. Signal Generation & Confidence Scoring:
● When a delta Z-score exceeds the user-defined anomaly threshold, a signal is generated.
● This signal is then passed through a multi-factor confidence algorithm (`f_calculateConfidence`). It awards stars based on: high volume presence, alignment with the overall trend (if enabled), and a fourth star for very strong Z-scores (above 3.0) combined with specific follow-through candle patterns after a cooling-off period from a previous confirmed signal.
● How this contributes: Provides a qualitative rating (1-4 stars) for each anomaly, allowing traders to quickly assess the potential significance and reliability of the signal.
💡 Note:
The PhenLabs Volume Footprint Anomaly Scanner is a powerful analytical tool, but it’s crucial to understand that no indicator guarantees profit. Always backtest and forward-test the indicator settings on your chosen assets and timeframes. Consider integrating VFAS with your existing trading strategy, using its signals as confirmation for entries, exits, or trend bias. The Z-score threshold is highly customizable; lower values will yield more signals (including potential noise), while higher values will provide fewer but potentially higher-conviction signals. Adjust this parameter based on market volatility and your risk tolerance. Remember to combine statistical insights from VFAS with price action, support/resistance levels, and your overall market outlook for optimal results.

Multi-Timeframe TrendBelow is a PineScript that calculates the trend for multiple timeframes (5 minutes, 15 minutes, 1 hour, 4 hours, and daily) using the Relative Strength Index (RSI) and Moving Averages (MA) to determine bullish, bearish, or neutral trends. The script displays the trend information on the TradingView chart using a table.
Kalman VWMA For LoopKalman VWMA For Loop Indicator
The Kalman VWMA For Loop indicator is a sophisticated tool designed to smooth price data using a Kalman filter applied to a Volume Weighted Moving Average (VWMA). By combining the VWMA’s volume-weighted price sensitivity with the adaptive noise reduction of a Kalman filter, this indicator provides traders with a robust momentum and trend-following signal. The indicator includes a customizable for-loop mechanism to potentially iterate over a range of calculations or parameters, enhancing flexibility for advanced trading strategies. Visual outputs are plotted to help traders identify trends and potential trading opportunities with reduced noise.
How It Works
VWMA Calculations
Volume Weighted Moving Average (VWMA): Computes a VWMA based on a user-selected price source (default: Close) over a configurable period (default: 14). The VWMA weights price data by trading volume, providing a more accurate representation of market activity compared to a simple moving average.
Kalman Filter Calculation
Kalman Filter: Applies a Kalman filter to the price source to smooth price movements and reduce noise.
The filter uses:
Process Noise: Controls the adaptability of the filter to price changes (default: 0.01).
Measurement Noise: Adjusts sensitivity to price fluctuations (default: 3).
Filter Order (N): Defines the number of states in the Kalman filter (default: 3), allowing for multi-state modeling of price dynamics.
The Kalman filter iteratively predicts and updates the price estimate using state estimates and error covariances stored in arrays. This process minimizes noise while preserving significant price trends.
For-Loop Mechanism
The script includes a for-loop structure with user-defined parameters (from and to_, defaulting to 1 and 25, respectively). While the provided code does not fully implement the for-loop’s functionality, it is intended to allow iterative calculations or parameter sweeps, such as testing multiple periods or thresholds within the specified range. This feature enhances the indicator’s flexibility for optimization or multi-scenario analysis.
Visual Representations
The indicator plots the VWMA as a red line on the chart, providing a clear visual reference for the volume-weighted trend.
The Kalman-filtered price is calculated but not plotted in the provided code. When plotted, it would appear as a smoothed price line, highlighting the underlying trend with reduced noise.
The for-loop parameters suggest potential for additional visual outputs (e.g., multiple VWMA lines or signals) if fully implemented, but the current script only plots the VWMA.
Customization & Parameters
The Kalman VWMA For Loop indicator offers flexible parameters to suit various trading styles:
Moving Average Parameters:
Price Source: Select the input price (default: Close; options: Close, High, Low, Open).
MA Period: Adjust the VWMA calculation period (default: 14).
Kalman Parameters:
Process Noise: Adjusts the filter’s adaptability to price changes (default: 0.01).
Measurement Noise: Controls sensitivity to price fluctuations (default: 3).
Filter Order (N): Sets the number of states for the Kalman filter (default: 3).
For-Loop Parameters:
From: Starting value for the for-loop (default: 1).
To: Ending value for the for-loop (default: 25).
Color Settings: The VWMA is plotted in red, with potential for additional customizable colors if the for-loop is expanded to plot multiple outputs.
Trading Applications
This indicator is versatile and can be applied across various markets and strategies:
Trend Following:
Use the Kalman-filtered price and VWMA to identify the direction and strength of trends, with the smoothed output reducing false signals in volatile markets.
Momentum Trading: The VWMA highlights volume-driven price movements, allowing traders to enter or exit based on momentum shifts.
Parameter Optimization: The for-loop structure (if fully implemented) enables testing multiple VWMA periods or Kalman parameters, aiding in strategy optimization.
Scalping and Swing Trading: Adjust the MA period and Kalman parameters to suit short-term (scalping) or longer-term (swing trading) strategies.
Final Note
The Kalman VWMA For Loop indicator is a powerful tool for traders seeking to combine volume-weighted price analysis with advanced noise reduction via a Kalman filter. Its customizable parameters and potential for iterative calculations through the for-loop make it adaptable to various trading styles. While the for-loop functionality is not fully implemented in the provided code, completing it could enable dynamic parameter testing or signal generation. As with all indicators, backtest thoroughly and integrate into a comprehensive trading strategy for optimal results.

Smart Elliott Wave [The_lurker]🔷 Smart Elliott Wave – موجات إليوت الذكية
A professional indicator for automatically detecting and analyzing Elliott Wave patterns on the chart. Built on classical Elliott Wave theory, it enhances accuracy with dynamic Fibonacci validation and geometric logic—solving the most common issues traders face when applying Elliott Wave manually: complexity, subjectivity, and misinterpretation of corrections.
🎯 Key Features
Smart Elliott Wave offers a layered intelligent system that:
- Automatically detects impulsive and corrective wave structures
- Validates wave formations using Fibonacci rules
- Highlights potential reversal zones (PRZ)
- Sends instant alerts for newly detected patterns
- Supports both bullish and bearish trends
- Includes fully customizable user settings
🧠 Core Concept
The indicator analyzes price movement over time using pivot points (discovered via `ta.pivothigh` and `ta.pivotlow`) to detect wave structures that conform to Elliott Wave sequencing:
- Impulse Wave: 0-1-2-3-4-5
- Simple Correction: ABC
- Complex Correction: WXY
Each structure is validated through a strict set of logical rules combined with Fibonacci ratio checks to ensure pattern integrity and reduce false signals.
🧩 Wave Structure Components
1️⃣ Impulse Waves
- Wave 3 is not the shortest
- Wave 4 does not overlap Wave 1
- Waves 1, 3, and 5 are impulsive; Waves 2 and 4 are corrective
- Fibonacci validation can be applied to Waves 2 and 4 if enabled
2️⃣ Simple Corrections (ABC)
- Wave B partially retraces Wave A
- Wave C completes the structure without invalid overlap
- Fibonacci ratios validate the symmetry of A, B, and C (if enabled)
3️⃣ Complex Corrections (WXY)
- Only used if ABC structure is insufficient
- Requires 6 sequential pivot points: W, X, Y
- W and Y are corrective; X is a linking wave
- Follows both structural and ratio-based validations
📏 Dynamic Fibonacci Validation
When Enable Fibonacci Rules is active:
- Validates against common ratios:
`38.2%`, `50%`, `61.8%`, `78.6%`, `127.2%`, `161.8%`
- Adjustable **Fibonacci Tolerance** allows for controlled deviation
- Patterns are ignored if ratios fall outside the accepted range
🔮 Potential Reversal Zones (PRZ)
- Calculated from the most recent completed impulse wave
- Uses Fibonacci extensions to project PRZ ahead of price
- Customizable visibility and color for each ratio
- Used as dynamic take-profit or stop-loss zones
🖍️ Dual Trend Detection & Wave Coloring
- Supports both bullish and bearish patterns
- Automatic wave coloring for quick visual recognition:
- 🟦 Blue: Bullish waves
- 🟥 Red: Bearish waves
- Optional fill color for correction zones
🔔 Smart Alert System
Instant alerts are triggered when a valid wave pattern is confirmed:
- New impulse wave detected
- ABC correction appears
- Complex WXY correction formed
> Alerts are triggered only after the bar closes to prevent repainting.
⚙️ Indicator Settings
📌 Wave Detection Settings
- Pivot Left Strength: Bars to the left used for pivot detection

🌊 Reinhart-Rogoff Financial Instability Index (RR-FII)Overview
The Reinhart-Rogoff Financial Instability Index (RR-FII) is a multi-factor indicator that consolidates historical crisis patterns into a single risk score ranging from 0 to 100. Drawing from the extensive research in "This Time is Different: Eight Centuries of Financial Crises" by Carmen M. Reinhart and Kenneth S. Rogoff, the RR-FII translates nearly a millennium of crisis data into practical insights for financial markets.
What It Does
The RR-FII acts like a real-time financial weather forecast by tracking four key stress indicators that historically signal the build-up to major financial crises. Unlike traditional indicators based only on price, it takes a broader view, examining the global market's interconnected conditions to provide a holistic assessment of systemic risk.
The Four Crisis Components
- Capital Flow Stress (Default weight: 25%)
- Data analyzed: Volatility (ATR) and price movements of the selected asset.
- Detects abrupt volatility surges or sharp price falls, which often precede debt defaults due to sudden stops in capital inflow.
- Commodity Cycle (Default weight: 20%)
- Data analyzed: US crude oil prices (customizable).
- Watches for significant declines from recent highs, since commodity price troughs often signal looming crises in emerging markets.
- Currency Crisis (Default weight: 30%)
- Data analyzed: US Dollar Index (DXY, customizable).
- Flags if the currency depreciates by more than 15% in a year, aligning with historical criteria for currency crashes linked to defaults.
- Banking Sector Health (Default weight: 25%)
- Data analyzed: Performance of financial sector ETFs (e.g., XLF) relative to broad market benchmarks (SPY).
- Monitors for underperformance in the financial sector, a strong indicator of broader financial instability.
Risk Scale Interpretation
- 0-20: Safe – Low systemic risk, normal conditions.
- 20-40: Moderate – Some signs of stress, increased caution advised.
- 40-60: Elevated – Multiple risk factors, consider adjusting positions.
- 60-80: High – Significant probability of crisis, implement strong risk controls.
- 80-100: Critical – Several crisis indicators active, exercise maximum caution.
Visual Features
- The main risk line changes color with increasing risk.
- Background colors show different risk zones for quick reference.
- Option to view individual component scores.
- A real-time status table summarizes all component readings.
- Crisis event markers appear when thresholds are breached.
- Customizable alerts notify users of changing risk levels.
How to Use
- Apply as an overlay for broad risk management at the portfolio level.
- Adjust position sizes inversely to the crisis index score.
- Use high index readings as a warning to increase vigilance or reduce exposure.
- Set up alerts for changes in risk levels.
- Analyze using various timeframes; daily and weekly charts yield the best macro insights.
Customizable Settings
- Change the weighting of each crisis factor.
- Switch commodity, currency, banking sector, and benchmark symbols for customized views or regional focus.
- Adjust thresholds and visual settings to match individual risk preferences.
Academic Foundation
Rooted in rigorous analysis of 66 countries and 800 years of data, the RR-FII uses empirically validated relationships and thresholds to assess systemic risk. The indicator embodies key findings: financial crises often follow established patterns, different types of crises frequently coincide, and clear quantitative signals often precede major events.
Best Practices
- Use RR-FII as part of a comprehensive risk management strategy, not as a standalone trading signal.
- Combine with fundamental analysis for complete market insight.
- Monitor for differences between component readings and the overall index.
- Favor higher timeframes for a broader macro view.
- Adjust component importance to suit specific market interests.
Important Disclaimers
- RR-FII assesses risk using patterns from past crises but does not predict future events.
- Historical performance is not a guarantee of future results.
- Always employ proper risk management.
- Consider this tool as one element in a broader analytical toolkit.
- Even with high risk readings, markets may not react immediately.
Technical Requirements
- Compatible with Pine Script v6, suitable for all timeframes and symbols.
- Pulls data automatically for USOIL, DXY, XLF, and SPY.
- Operates without repainting, using only confirmed data.
The RR-FII condenses centuries of financial crisis knowledge into a modern risk management tool, equipping investors and traders with a deeper understanding of when systemic risks are most pronounced.
LANZ Strategy 6.0 [Backtest]🔷 LANZ Strategy 6.0 — Precision Backtesting Based on 09:00 NY Candle, Dynamic SL/TP, and Lot Size per Trade
LANZ Strategy 6.0 is the simulation version of the original LANZ 6.0 indicator. It executes a single LIMIT BUY order per day based on the 09:00 a.m. New York candle, using dynamic Stop Loss and Take Profit levels derived from the candle range. Position sizing is calculated automatically using capital, risk percentage, and pip value — allowing accurate trade simulation and performance tracking.
📌 This is a strategy script — It simulates real trades using strategy.entry() and strategy.exit() with full money management for risk-based backtesting.
🧠 Core Logic & Trade Conditions
🔹 BUY Signal Trigger:
At 09:00 a.m. NY (New York time), if:
The current candle is bullish (close > open)
→ A BUY order is placed at the candle’s close price (EP)
Only one signal is evaluated per day.
⚙️ Stop Loss / Take Profit Logic
SL can be:
Wick low (0%)
Or dynamically calculated using a % of the full candle range
TP is calculated using the user-defined Risk/Reward ratio (e.g., 1:4)
The TP and SL levels are passed to strategy.exit() for each trade simulation.
💰 Risk Management & Lot Size Calculation
Before placing the trade:
The system calculates pip distance from EP to SL
Computes the lot size based on:
Account capital
Risk % per trade
Pip value (auto or manual)
This ensures every trade uses consistent, scalable risk regardless of instrument.
🕒 Manual Close at 3:00 p.m. NY
If the trade is still open by 15:00 NY time, it will be closed using strategy.close().
The final result is the actual % gain/loss based on how far price moved relative to SL.
📊 Backtest Accuracy
One trade per day
LIMIT order at the candle close
SL and TP pre-defined at execution
No repainting
Session-restricted (only runs on 1H timeframe)
✅ Ideal For:
Traders who want to backtest a clean and simple daily entry system
Strategy developers seeking reproducible, high-conviction trades
Users who prefer non-repainting, session-based simulations

Clean ATR LevelsSimple 14D ATR +1 & -1 display from PM to Close.
The Clean ATR Levels indicator is a powerful Pine Script tool designed to provide traders with dynamic support and resistance levels based on the Average True Range (ATR) calculation. This indicator automatically draws horizontal lines that represent key price levels where significant market reactions are likely to occur, helping traders identify potential entry and exit points throughout the trading session.
The core functionality centers around calculating ATR levels using the most recent daily close as the reference point. The script draws two primary levels: an upper level at +100% ATR above the current close and a lower level at -100% ATR below the current close. These levels represent statistically significant price zones where the market has historically shown increased volatility and potential reversal patterns. Additionally, the indicator includes an optional previous close line that serves as a psychological reference point for intraday price action.
What sets this indicator apart is its intelligent session management and clean visual presentation. The lines are automatically redrawn at the start of each new trading day and are programmed to extend precisely until 4 PM EST market close, eliminating visual clutter on the chart. This session-aware approach ensures that traders are always working with the most relevant levels for the current trading day without having outdated lines extending unnecessarily into future sessions.
The indicator also features a comprehensive information table that displays real-time values for the ATR calculation, current close price, and both upper and lower ATR levels. This provides traders with exact numerical references without having to manually calculate these critical values. The script is highly customizable, allowing users to adjust the ATR period, line colors, widths, and choose whether to display the previous close reference line, making it adaptable to various trading styles and visual preferences.
Alternate Hourly HighlightAlternate Hourly Highlight
This indicator automatically highlights every alternate one-hour window on your chart, making it easy to visually identify and separate each trading hour. The background alternates color every hour, helping traders spot hourly cycles, session changes, or develop time-based trading strategies.

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.
