Candle Range Theory | Flux Charts💎 GENERAL OVERVIEW
Introducing our new Candle Range Theory Indicator! This powerful tool offers a strategy built around the Candle Range Theory, which analyzes market movements through the relative size and structure of price candles. For more information about the process, check the "HOW DOES IT WORK" section.
Features of the new Candle Range Theory Indicator :
Implementation of the Candle Range Theory
FVG & Order Block Entry Methods
2 Different TP / SL Methods
Customizable Execution Settings
Customizable Backtesting Dashboard
Alerts for Buy, Sell, TP & SL Signals
📌 HOW DOES IT WORK ?
The Candle Range Theory (CRT) indicator operates by identifying significant price movements through the relative size and structure of candlesticks. A key part of the strategy is determining large candles based on their range compared to the Average True Range (ATR) in a higher timeframe. Once identified, a breakout of either the high wick or the low wick of the large candle is required. This breakout is considered a liquidity grab. After that, the indicator waits for confirmation through Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) or Order Blocks (OBs). The confirmation structure must be the opposite direction of the breakout, for example if the high wick is broken, a bearish FVG is required for the short entry. After a confirmation signal is received, the indicator will trigger entry points based on your chosen entry method (FVG or OB), and exit points will be calculated using either a dynamic ATR-based TP/SL method or fixed percentages. Alerts for Buy, Sell, Take-Proft, and Stop-Loss are available.
🚩 UNIQUENESS
This indicator stands out because it combines two highly effective entry methods: Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) and Order Blocks (OBs). You can choose between these strategies depending on market conditions. Additionally, the dynamic TP/SL system uses the ticker's volatility to automatically calculate stop-loss and take-profit targets. The backtesting dashboard provides metrics about the performance of the indicator. You can use it to tune the settings for best use in the current tiker. The Candle Range Theory approach offers more flexibility compared to traditional indicators, allowing for better customization and control based on your risk tolerance.
⚙️ SETTINGS
1. General Configuration
Higher Timeframe: Customize the higher timeframe for analysis. Recommended combinations include M15 -> H4, H4 -> Daily, Daily -> Weekly, and Weekly -> Monthly.
HTF Candle Size: Define the size of the higher timeframe candles as Big, Normal, or Small to filter valid setups based on their range relative to ATR.
Entry Mode: Choose between FVGs and Order Blocks for your entry triggers.
Require Retracement: Enable this option if you want a retracement to the FVG or OB for entry confirmation.
Show HTF Candle Lines: Toggle to display the higher timeframe candle lines for better visual clarity.
2. Fair Value Gaps
FVG Sensitivity: You may select between Low, Normal, High or Extreme FVG detection sensitivity. This will essentially determine the size of the spotted FVGs, with lower sensitivities resulting in spotting bigger FVGs, and higher sensitivities resulting in spotting all sizes of FVGs.
3. Order Blocks
Swing Length: Swing length is used when finding order block formations. Smaller values will result in finding smaller order blocks.
4. TP / SL
TP / SL Method:
a) Dynamic: The TP / SL zones will be auto-determined by the algorithm based on the Average True Range (ATR) of the current ticker.
b) Fixed : You can adjust the exact TP / SL ratios from the settings below.
Dynamic Risk: The risk you're willing to take if "Dynamic" TP / SL Method is selected. Higher risk usually means a better winrate at the cost of losing more if the strategy fails. This setting is has a crucial effect on the performance of the indicator, as different tickers may have different volatility so the indicator may have increased performance when this setting is correctly adjusted.

Interest Rate Trading (Manually Added Rate Decisions) [TANHEF]Interest Rate Trading: How Interest Rates Can Guide Your Next Move.
How were interest rate decisions added?
All interest rate decision dates were manually retrieved from the 'Record of Policy Actions' and 'Minutes of Actions' on the Federal Reserve's website due to inconsistent dates from other sources. These were manually added as Pine Script currently only identifies rate changes, not pauses.
█ Simple Explanation:
This script is designed for analyzing and backtesting trading strategies based on U.S. interest rate decisions which occur during Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meetings, to make trading decisions. No trading strategy is perfect, and it's important to understand that expectations won't always play out. The script leverages historical interest rate changes, including increases, decreases, and pauses, across multiple economic time periods from 1971 to the present. The tool integrates two key data sources for interest rates—USINTR and FEDFUNDS—to support decision-making around rate-based trades. The focus is on identifying opportunities and tracking trades driven by interest rate movements.
█ Interest Rate Decision Sources:
As noted above, each decision date has been manually added from the 'Record of Policy Actions' and 'Minutes of Actions' documents on the Federal Reserve's website. This includes +50 years of more than 600 rate decisions.
█ Interest Rate Data Sources:
USINTR: Reflects broader U.S. interest rate trends, including Treasury yields and various benchmarks. This is the preferred option as it corresponds well to the rate decision dates.
FEDFUNDS: Tracks the Federal Funds Rate, which is a more specific rate targeted by the Federal Reserve. This does not change on the exact same days as the rate decisions that occur at FOMC meetings.
█ Trade Criteria:
A variety of trading conditions are predefined to suit different trading strategies. These conditions include:
Increase/Decrease: Standard rate increases or decreases.
Double/Triple Increase/Decrease: A series of consecutive changes.
Aggressive Increase/Decrease: Rate changes that exceed recent movements.
Pause: Identification of no changes (pauses) between rate decisions, including double or triple pauses.
Complex Patterns: Combinations of pauses, increases, or decreases, such as "Pause after Increase" or "Pause or Increase."
█ Trade Execution and Exit:
The script allows automated trade execution based on selected criteria:
Auto-Entry: Option to enter trades automatically at the first valid period.
Max Trade Duration: Optional exit of trades after a specified number of bars (candles).
Pause Days: Minimum duration (in days) to validate rate pauses as entry conditions. This is especially useful for earlier periods (prior to the 2000s), where rate decisions often seemed random compared to the consistency we see today.
█ Visualization:
Several visual elements enhance the backtesting experience:
Time Period Highlighting: Economic time periods are visually segmented on the chart, each with a unique color. These periods include historical phases such as "Stagflation (1971-1982)" and "Post-Pandemic Recovery (2021-Present)".
Trade and Holding Results: Displays the profit and loss of trades and holding results directly on the chart.
Interest Rate Plot: Plots the interest rate movements on the chart, allowing for real-time tracking of rate changes.
Trade Status: Highlights active long or short positions on the chart.
█ Statistics and Criteria Display:
Stats Table: Summarizes trade results, including wins, losses, and draw percentages for both long and short trades.
Criteria Table: Lists the selected entry and exit criteria for both long and short positions.
█ Economic Time Periods:
The script organizes interest rate decisions into well-defined economic periods, allowing traders to backtest strategies specific to historical contexts like:
(1971-1982) Stagflation
(1983-1990) Reaganomics and Deregulation
(1991-1994) Early 1990s (Recession and Recovery)
(1995-2001) Dot-Com Bubble
(2001-2006) Housing Boom
(2007-2009) Global Financial Crisis
(2009-2015) Great Recession Recovery
(2015-2019) Normalization Period
(2019-2021) COVID-19 Pandemic
(2021-Present) Post-Pandemic Recovery
█ User-Configurable Inputs:
Rate Source Selection: Choose between USINTR or FEDFUNDS as the primary interest rate source.
Trade Criteria Customization: Users can select the criteria for long and short trades, specifying when to enter or exit based on changes in the interest rate.
Time Period: Select the time period that you want to isolate testing a strategy with.
Auto-Entry and Pause Settings: Options to automatically enter trades and specify the number of days to confirm a rate pause.
Max Trade Duration: Limits how long trades can remain open, defined by the number of bars.
█ Trade Logic:
The script manages entries and exits for both long and short trades. It calculates the profit or loss percentage based on the entry and exit prices. The script tracks ongoing trades, dynamically updating the profit or loss as price changes.
█ Examples:
One of the most popular opinions is that when rate starts begin you should sell, then buy back in when rate cuts stop dropping. However, this can be easily proven to be a difficult task. Predicting the end of a rate cut is very difficult to do with the the exception that assumes rates will not fall below 0.25%.
2001-2009
Trade Result: +29.85%
Holding Result: -27.74%
1971-2024
Trade Result: +533%
Holding Result: +5901%
█ Backtest and Real-Time Use:
This backtester is useful for historical analysis and real-time trading. By setting up various entry and exit rules tied to interest rate movements, traders can test and refine strategies based on real historical data and rate decision trends.
This powerful tool allows traders to customize strategies, backtest them through different economic periods, and get visual feedback on their trading performance, helping to make more informed decisions based on interest rate dynamics. The main goal of this indicator is to challenge the belief that future events must mirror the 2001 and 2007 rate cuts. If everyone expects something to happen, it usually doesn’t.
LRS-Strategy: 200-EMA Buffer & Long/Short Signals LRS-Strategy: 200-EMA Buffer & Long/Short Signals
This indicator is designed to help traders implement the Leveraged Return Strategy (LRS) using the 200-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) as a key trend-following signal. The indicator offers clear long and short signals by analyzing the price movements relative to the 200-day EMA, enhanced by customizable buffer zones for increased precision.
Key Features:
200-Day EMA: The main trend indicator. When the price is above the 200-day EMA, the market is considered in an uptrend, and when it is below, it indicates a downtrend.
Customizable Buffer Zones: Users can define a percentage buffer around the 200-day EMA (default is 3%). The upper and lower buffer zones help filter out noise and prevent premature signals.
Precise Long/Short Signals:
Long Signal: Triggered when the price moves from below the lower buffer zone, crosses the 200-day EMA, and then breaks above the upper buffer zone.
Short Signal: Triggered when the price moves from above the upper buffer zone, crosses the 200-day EMA, and then breaks below the lower buffer zone.
Alternating Signals: Ensures that a new signal (long or short) is only generated after the opposite signal has been triggered, preventing multiple signals of the same type without a reversal.
Clear Visual Aids: The indicator displays the 200-day EMA and buffer zones on the chart, along with buy (long) and sell (short) signals. This makes it easy to track trends and time entries/exits.
How to Use:
Long Entry: Look for the price to move below the lower buffer, cross the 200-day EMA from below, and then break out of the upper buffer to confirm a long signal.
Short Entry: Look for the price to move above the upper buffer, cross below the 200-day EMA, and then break below the lower buffer to confirm a short signal.
This indicator is perfect for traders who prefer a structured, trend-following approach, using clear rules to minimize noise and identify meaningful long or short opportunities.
Quadratic Kernel with Quadratic Divergence [PinescriptLabs]This indicator combines a quadratic kernel regression with adaptive deviation bands to provide a unique view of market trends.
Key Features:
**Customizable Parameters:**
- Regression Period: Adjusts the sensitivity of the central line (default 50).
- Time Deformation: Modifies the weight of recent vs. older data (default 1.0). Increasing the "Time Deformation" makes more recent data more relevant, while decreasing it gives more weight to older data in the regression calculation.
- Confidence Band Width: Controls the width of the bands (default 3.0). Determines how many standard deviations are added to or subtracted from the central line to form the confidence bands. The standard deviations are calculated as the difference between the central line and the closing prices. A higher confidence value will result in wider bands, indicating a broader range of expected price variation, while a lower confidence value will result in narrower bands, indicating a narrower range of expected price variation.
**How to Use the Indicator Based on Price Crossings with the Kernel Divergence Line?**
Short: We need a candle to cross and close below the Kernel Divergence Line (bullish), and at the same time, the quadratic channels must be in a Bearish state for confirmation. Once the entry is executed, our exit will be when the Divergence Line changes its color by at least two confirmation points, or the price crosses above, which nullifies the entry.
Long: We need a candle to cross and close above the Kernel Divergence Line (bearish), and at the same time, the quadratic channels must be in a Bullish state for confirmation. Once the entry is executed, our exit will be when the Divergence Line changes its color by at least two confirmation points, or the price crosses below, which nullifies the entry.
**How to Use the Indicator Based Solely on Kernel Divergence??**
We observe the Kernel Divergence line, which indicates bullish momentum while the price is declining, and we are looking for the Reversal point.
**Confirmation of the Reversal Point:** When the Kernel Divergence changes from bullish (green color) to bearish (red color), we look for the price at its lowest point to be below the first lower Quadratic channel or even outside the Quadratic channel. This signals a potential strong reversal.
How to Use the Indicator Based Solely on Quadratic Channels?
Use only confirmations of changes from Bullish to Bearish or vice versa. It is recommended to have at least three confirmation points in the same direction.
Quadratic Kernel Regression: Provides a smoothed trend line that adapts to market movements.
Adaptive Deviation Bands: Dynamically calculated to show market volatility.
Buy/Sell Signals: Based on the price crossing the central line and the direction of the trend.
Quadratic Kernel Regression calculates a smoothed central line based on recent prices.
The deviation bands automatically adjust according to market volatility.
The trend is determined by comparing the current position of the central line with its previous position.
Buy signals are generated when the price crosses above the central line in an uptrend.
Sell signals are generated when the price crosses below the central line in a downtrend.
Español:
Este indicador combina una regresión de kernel cuadrático con bandas de desviación adaptativas para proporcionar una visión única de la tendencia del mercado.
Características principales:
**Parámetros personalizables:**
- Período de regresión: Ajusta la sensibilidad de la línea central (por defecto 50).
- Deformación del tiempo: Modifica el peso de los datos recientes vs. antiguos (por defecto 1.0). Aumentar la "Deformación del tiempo" hace que los datos más recientes sean más relevantes, mientras que disminuirla da más peso a los datos antiguos en el cálculo de la regresión.
- Ancho de bandas de confianza: Controla la amplitud de las bandas (por defecto 3.0). Determina cuántas desviaciones estándar se añaden o restan a la línea central para formar las bandas de confianza. Las desviaciones estándar se calculan como la diferencia entre la línea central y los precios de cierre. Un valor mayor de confianza resultará en bandas más anchas, indicando un rango más amplio de variación esperada en los precios, mientras que un valor menor de confianza resultará en bandas más estrechas, indicando un rango más estrecho de variación esperada.
* *Cómo usar el Indicador Basados en los Cruces de Precio con la Línea de Divergencia del Kernel?**
Short: Necesitamos que una vela cruce y cierre por debajo de la línea de Divergencia del Kernel (bullish) y al mismo tiempo los Canales cuadráticos deben estar en un momento Bearish para confirmación. Una vez ejecutada la entrada, nuestra salida será cuando la Línea de Divergencia haga su cambio de color al menos dos puntos de confirmación o el precio haga un cruce por arriba, lo que anula la entrada.
Long: Necesitamos que una vela cruce y cierre por Encima de la linea de Divergencia del Kernel( Bearish) y al mismo tiempo los Canales cuadráticos deben estar en un momento Bullish para confirmación, una vez ejecutada la entrada nuestra salida será cuando la Linea de Divergencia haga su cambio de color al menos dos puntos de confirmación o el precio haga un cruce por Debajo lo que anula la entrada:
Como usar el indicador Basado en solo en Divergencia del Kernel? : Observamos la linea de Divergencia del Kernel la cual nos indica un momentum bullish mientras que precio va a la baja y lo que buscamos es el punto de Reversion.
Confirmación de punto de reversion: cuando la Divergencia de Kernel pasa de bullish ( color verde) a bearish ( color rojo) buscamos que el precio en su punto mas bajo este por debajo del primer canal inferior Quadratico o fuera incluso del canal Quadratico lo que nos indica una posible reversion con fuerza.
Como usar el indicador basado solo en Canales Quadraticos?
Utilizar únicamente las confirmaciones de Cambio de Bullish a Bearish o visceversa, se recomienda al menos tres puntos de confirmación en la misma dirección.
Regresión de kernel cuadrático: Ofrece una línea de tendencia suavizada que se adapta a los movimientos del mercado.
Bandas de desviación adaptativas: Calculadas dinámicamente para mostrar la volatilidad del mercado.
Señales de compra/venta: Basadas en el cruce del precio con la línea central y la dirección de la tendencia.
La regresión de kernel cuadrático calcula una línea central suavizada basada en los precios recientes.
Las bandas de desviación se ajustan automáticamente según la volatilidad del mercado.
La tendencia se determina comparando la posición actual de la línea central con su posición anterior.
Las señales de compra se generan cuando el precio cruza por encima de la línea central en una tendencia alcista.
Las señales de venta se generan cuando el precio cruza por debajo de la línea central en una tendencia bajista.
The Magic LineThis script is based on the simple 2 or 3 candle entry model taught by Armando "The Professor".
This strategy will work best on the 1hr timeframe or higher and you can also add a MA on your chart to identify direction of trend and trade with the trend. For example, if price is above the 50 SMA, you can opt to only look for 'buy' signals. If price is below the 50 SMA, you can opt to only look for 'sell' signals.
The default setting is to wait for 3 consecutive candles of either bullish or bearish sentiment before printing a buy or sell signal. This can be changed to any number you would like but typically 3 works best, as long as you're using the 1hr timeframe or higher.
Ex: If there are 3 green (bullish) candles print in a row, a 'sell' signal will print, and the entry line will be one tick below the open of the previous green candle. You can use that line as your entry.
For your stop loss, you can try to use the most recent swing high (for sells) or swing low (for buys). You can also use nearby support/resistance levels, or even the PSAR as another way to determine your stop loss.
If there are more than 3 consecutive candles with the same sentiment, signals will continue to print until the streak ends at which point the counter will restart, and the idea is to take the most recent signal as your entry. Limit/Stop entries work best as you can just let price come down to the signal line that is drawn.

ACD Indicator [TradingFinder] M Fisher Pivots Methodology Signal🔵 Introduction
The book "The Logical Trader" begins with a comprehensive review of the ACD Methodology principles, which include identifying specific price points related to the opening range.
This method allows you to set reference points for trading and use points "A" and "C" for trade entry. You will also learn about the "Pivot Range" and how to combine them with the ACD method to maximize position size and minimize risk.
In this indicator, the strategy is implemented to make it easier to use.
🔵 How to Use
The "ACD" strategy can be applied to various markets such as stocks, commodities, or forex, providing buy and sell signals that allow you to set your price targets and stop losses.
This strategy is based on the assumption that the opening range of trades is statistically significant each day, meaning the initial market fluctuations influence the market until the end of the day.
The ACD trading strategy is known as a breakout strategy and performs best in volatile or strongly trending markets, such as crude oil and stocks.
Some of the rules for using the ACD strategy include the following :
Consider points A and C as reference points and continuously pay attention to these points during trades. These points serve as entry and exit points for trades.
Examine daily and multi-day pivot ranges to analyze market trends. If the price is above the pivots, the trend is upward, and if below the pivots, the trend is downward.
Trading with the ACD strategy in forex is possible using the ACD indicator. This indicator is a technical tool used to measure the balance between supply and demand in the market. By analyzing trading volume and price, this indicator helps traders identify trend strength and suitable entry and exit points.
To use the ACD indicator, consider the following :
Identifying strong trends: The ACD indicator can help you identify strong and stable trends in the market.
Determining entry and exit points: ACD provides buy and sell signals to enter or exit trades at the best possible time.
Bullish Setup :
When the "A up" line is broken, it is advisable to wait for some time to ensure that this is not a "Fake Breakout" and that the price stabilizes above this line.
After entering the trade, the best stop loss you can choose is below the "A down" line. However, it is recommended to test this in backtests to achieve the best results. The suitable reward-to-risk ratio for this strategy is 1, which should also be backtested.
Bearish Setup :
When the "A down" line is broken, it is advisable to wait for some time to ensure that this is not a "Fake Breakout" and that the price stabilizes below this line.
After entering the trade, the best stop loss you can choose is above the "A up" line. However, it is recommended to test this in backtests to achieve the best results. The suitable reward-to-risk ratio for this strategy is 1, which should also be backtested.
🔵 Setting
NDay Pivot Range Period : Using this entry you can specify the number of days to calculate NDay Pivot Range.
Show Daily Pivot Range : Set the Daily Pivot color and displayed or not.
Show NDay Pivot Range : Set the NDay Pivot color and displayed or not.
ATR Period Levels : Determining the period of the ATR indicator, which is used to determine the A and C levels.
Show Tokyo ACD Setup : Set the Tokyo ACD Setup color and displayed or not.
Tokyo Opening Range Time : The amount of time taken to determine the opening range. You can set this number between 5 and 60 minutes.
Tokyo Session : Market start and end time.
A Level Multiplier : The coefficient that is multiplied by ATR to determine the distance of line A up and A down.
C Level Multiplier : The coefficient that is multiplied by ATR to determine the distance of line C up and C down.
The same settings exist for the London and New York sessions.
Trend Bars Pro (HTF PO3)Hello Traders!
The innovative TRN Trend Bars Pro are designed to help traders to analyze markets in an intuitive way and provide high probability entry and exit signals. It combines three core concepts:
TRN Trend Bars to see the current trend and reversals (replaces the default chart bars)
Bar Ranges to highlight consolidations
Dynamic Trend to see the overall trend.
First, let's have a look at each of these concepts individually. Afterwards, we describe how a combination of all three gives you a crystal-clear picture of the market.
TRN Trend Bars Pro
They show bullish and bearish trends and reversals based on color coding the bars and give high probability trade opportunities with special colors. The trend analysis is based on a new algorithm that includes several different inputs:
classical and advanced bar patterns and their statistical frequency
probability distributions of price expansions after certain bar patterns
bar information such as wick length in %, overlapping of the previous bar in % and many more
historical trend and consolidation analysis
The algorithm weighs these concepts and outputs a color scheme for the chart bars or candlesticks.
Bar Types
Trend bars in green and red
Reversal Bars in blue and fuchsia
Continuation Bars in turquoise and orange
Breakout Bars in dark green and pink
Green Bars signify a sustained uptrend, indicating bullish market sentiment. On the other hand, Red Bars indicate a persistent downtrend, representing bearish market sentiment. The transition from red to green denotes a bullish trend reversal, suggesting a shift from bearish to bullish sentiment. Conversely, the shift from green to red signals a bearish trend reversal, indicating a transition from bullish to bearish sentiment. By monitoring these color changes, traders can identify potential trend reversals and make informed trading decisions.
The presence of gray and black bars indicates a neutral market state, often observed before an impending color change from red to green or green to red. These neutral bars serve as a transition phase between the previous trend and the potential reversal.
The TRN Trend Bars Pro incorporate signal bars, distinguished by their distinct colors, to offer potential buy and sell signals and deeper insights into market dynamics.
Reversal Bars
The presence of blue Reversal Bars indicates a trend reversal to the upside, while pink Reversal Bars indicate a reversal to the downside. These bars not only serve as signals for potential trend shifts but also present favorable opportunities to enter the market or increase one's position size.
Continuation Bars
In addition to the reversal bars, the indicator also includes bullish continuation bars (colored turquoise) and bearish continuation bars (colored orange). These bars act as signals for the continuation of an existing trend. Like the reversal bars, they can be utilized as entry points or opportunities to augment one's position size.
Breakout Bars
The dark green breakout bars within TRN Trend Bars Pro show a powerful breakout from a price range detected by our integrated bar range feature. They signify the continuation or potential change in a trend following a consolidation phase. As such, these bars hold dual functionality, serving as reversal signals and validating the persistence of an ongoing trend.
Bar Ranges
The bar range feature automatically finds consolidations where the price range of several consecutives bars is rather small. The detection of the bar ranges includes among other things the overlapping percentage of these bars.
How to Use Price Ranges
Here are a few ways you can use the bar ranges in your trading:
Identify Support and Resistance Levels
The price ranges can help you identify key support and resistance levels on a chart. By observing price ranges and identifying these levels, you can make more informed decisions about entering or exiting trades.
Breakout Trading
Price ranges can also provide insights into potential breakout opportunities. Breakouts occur when the price breaks out of a defined range, signaling a potential shift in market sentiment and the start of a new trend. The Color highlighted Breakout Bars from the TRN Trend Bars Pro are signaling a powerful breakout of a price range. Traders can enter positions in the direction of the breakout and set appropriate stop-loss orders to manage risk. Note that not every price range is left by a powerful breakout.
Dynamic Trend
The Dynamic Trend combines elements from standard trend strength indicators (e.g. DI-, DI+, Parabolic SAR) and volatility indicators (e.g. ATR, Standard Deviation). It produces a moving average line that adapts to changing market volatility. It is inspired by the ideas of the programmer and trader Fat Tails. The adaptive behavior provides more relevant information for traders when compared to traditional moving averages which do not consider volatility and trend strength together. This makes the Dynamic Trend completely unique, and no other moving average indicator can give you this precision.
How to use Dynamic Trend
Generally, a rising Dynamic Trend line, displayed in green, indicates that an uptrend is strong, while a falling Dynamic Trend, displayed in red, suggests that the downtrend is sharp. The Dynamic Trend turns gray when there is insufficient clarity to establish a distinct trend and especially when there is not volatility in the market.
Identify potential trade entries and exits: When used in conjunction with price action, the Dynamic Trend can provide potential trade signals. For example, if the price crosses above the Dynamic Trend, it may be a bullish sign, suggesting a potential buy entry. Conversely, if the price crosses below the Dynamic Trend, it may indicate bearish conditions and a potential sell signal.
Trend Identification and Pullback trading
Observe the Dynamic Trend's color. When it's on the rise and appears green, it indicates a bullish trend. Conversely, if it's in decline and displayed in red, it signals a bearish trend.
If Dynamic Trend is green and price pulls from above back to the Dynamic Trend, then this can be considered as a bullish signal.
If Dynamic Trend is red and price pulls from below back to the Dynamic Trend, then this can be considered as a bearish signal.
In the event of a bearish signal, such as a bearish TRN Signal Bar, and the Dynamic Trend is red, it provides additional confirmation to the bearish signal. Likewise, bullish signals gain added conviction when the Dynamic Trend is green.
Crossovers
As with other moving averages, crossovers between the Dynamic Trend and the price can be significant.
If price is crossing above the Dynamic Trend, then this can be considered as a bullish signal.
If price is crossing below the Dynamic Trend, then this can be considered as a bearish signal.
If you currently hold a position, both bullish and bearish crossovers can serve as potential exit signals. For instance, in the case of a long position, a bearish crossover can indicate a potential shift in sentiment, signaling a bearish reversal and a potential opportunity to close your long position.
Filtering Noise
Due to its adaptive nature, the Dynamic Trend can be a useful tool to filter out market noise. When the market is choppy or consolidating, the Dynamic Trend tends to remain flat and colored gray, signaling traders to potentially stay out of the market.
Stop Losses
The Dynamic Trend can also be used as a dynamic stop loss. For instance, in a long trade, traders can use the Dynamic Trend as a trailing stop, selling their position if the price crosses below the Dynamic Trend.
Combining TRN Trend Bars Pro, Bar Ranges and Dynamic Trend together
Combining all three concepts gives you a crystal-clear picture of the market. The Dynamic Trend shows you the overall trend. If price pulls back to the dynamic trend line and then price picks up the trend direction again, then the TRN Trend Bars Pro immediately switches the color to the trend direction. Therefore, you can easily identify high probability entry signals based on the bar color.
As a simple trading model, you can set the stop loss below the last swing or below a TRN signal bar (vice versa for short entries) and use 2.5 R or 3 R as target.
You can increase the success rate of the high probability TRN signal bars entries even more if they are in line with the Dynamic Trend line.
On the other hand, the TRN Bar Ranges help you to stay out of the market in case the price does not really change. As a confluence signal to stay flat in this period the dynamic trend line tends to be grey as well. If the price breaks out of the range, then the indicator prints a breakout bar which serves as a high probability entry signal.
Although it is possible to switch off any of these concepts, it is highly recommended to use all three in combination to get a crystal-clear picture of the market.

OrderFlow [Probabilities] | FractalystWhat's the indicator's purpose and functionality?
The indicator is designed to incorporate probabilities with buyside and sellside liquidity, as well as premium and discount ranges within the market. It also provides traders with a multi-timeframe functionality for observing liquidity levels and probabilities across two timeframes without the need to manually switch between them.
These levels are often used in smart money trading concepts for identifying key areas of interest, such as potential reversal points, areas of accumulation or distribution, and zones of high liquidity.
----
What's the purpose of these levels? What are the underlying calculations?
1. Understanding Swing highs and Swing Lows
Swing High: A Swing High is formed when there is a high with 2 lower highs to the left and right.
Swing Low: A Swing Low is formed when there is a low with 2 higher lows to the left and right.
2. Understanding the purpose and the underlying calculations behind Buyside , Sellside and Equilibrium levels.
3. Identifying Discount and Premium Zones.
4. Importance of Risk-Reward in Premium and Discount Ranges
----
How does the script calculate probabilities?
The script calculates the probability of each liquidity level individually. Here's the breakdown:
1. Upon the formation of a new range, the script waits for the price to reach and tap into equilibrium or the 50% level. Status: "⏸" - Inactive
2. Once equilibrium is tapped into, the equilibrium status becomes activated and it waits for either liquidity side to be hit. Status: "▶" - Active
3. If the buyside liquidity is hit, the script adds to the count of successful buyside liquidity occurrences. Similarly, if the sellside is tapped, it records successful sellside liquidity occurrences.
5. Finally, the number of successful occurrences for each side is divided by the overall count individually to calculate the range probabilities.
Note: The calculations are performed independently for each directional range. A range is considered bearish if the previous breakout was through a sellside liquidity. Conversely, a range is considered bullish if the most recent breakout was through a buyside liquidity.
----
What does the multi-timeframe functionality offer?
Enabling and selecting a higher timeframe in the indicator's user-input settings allows you to access not only the current range information but also the liquidity sides, status, price levels, and probabilities of a higher timeframe without needing to switch between timeframes and mark up the levels manually.
----
What are the multi-timeframe underlying calculations?
The script uses the same calculations (mentioned above) and requests the data such as price levels, bar time, probabilities and booleans from the user-input timeframe.
Non-repainting Security Function with Lookahead ON
//Function to fetch data for a given timeframe
getHTFData(timeframe_,exp_) =>
request.security(syminfo.tickerid, timeframe_,exp_ ,lookahead = barmerge.lookahead_on)
----
How to use the indicator?
1. Add the indicator to your TradingView chart.
2. Choose the pair you want to analyze/trade.
3. Enable the HTF in user-input settings and choose a timeframe as for your higher timeframe bias.
4. (Important) : Ensure that the probabilities on both timeframes are aligned in one direction. If not, switch between timeframes until you find a pair of timeframes that are in line with each other and have higher probabilities on one liquidity side.
For Swing traders:
Use Hourly timeframes (1H/2H/4H/8H/12H) as your current timeframe and 1D/3D/1W/2W for your higher timeframe (HTF).
Entry: Hourly Equilibrium level. (Limit order)
Stoploss: Place it on the side where the probability is lower than 50%.
Break-even level/TP1: Hourly breakout of the liquidity.
TP2: Target the Higher Timeframe (HTF) liquidity level where the probability is higher than 50%.

Diverging Chart Patterns - Ultimate [Trendoscope®]🎲 Presenting the Diverging Chart Patterns Ultimate Indicator
Much like its counterpart, the Converging Chart Patterns Ultimate indicator, this tool is an offshoot of our premium Auto Chart Patterns - Ultimate offering. However, it is exclusively designed to focus on diverging patterns.
🎲 Built on Extensive Research and Open-Source Foundations
Our journey toward creating this indicator has been guided by thorough research and insights gleaned from our previous works on Chart Patterns, which include:
Algorithmic Identification of Chart Patterns
Flag and Pennant Chart Patterns
Trading Diverging Chart Patterns
Drawing from the groundwork established by our publicly available indicators - Auto Chart Patterns and Flags and Pennants - this tool represents the culmination of our efforts to furnish traders with a refined approach to navigating diverging patterns. It not only facilitates the formulation of technical trading strategies but also aids in assessing their efficacy through historical performance analysis. The specific patterns addressed by this indicator encompass:
Rising Wedge (Diverging Type)
Falling Wedge (Diverging Type)
Diverging Triangle
Rising Triangle (Diverging Type)
Falling Triangle (Diverging Type)
🎲 Chart Pattern Scanning Methodology
Identifying diverging chart patterns follows a structured approach comprising several key steps:
Zigzag Examination : Start by analyzing each zigzag, focusing on the last 5 or 6 pivot points to pinpoint potential trend line pairs.
Divergence Verification : Project these trend lines backward and scrutinize for intersections within a specified number of bars prior. This step confirms the presence of divergence.
Pattern Categorization : Once divergence is confirmed, categorize each pattern based on the directional orientation of its trend lines. Refer to our article - Algorithmic Identification of Chart Patterns for detailed categorization guidelines.
🎲 Methodology or Trading for Chart Patterns
While traditional perspectives often prescribe specific trading biases to diverging patterns—for instance, labeling Rising Wedges as bearish and Falling Wedges as bullish, while acknowledging Triangles' versatility—there's limited empirical evidence to fully support these assumptions. Our indicator is crafted to empower users to explore and validate a wide range of trading hypotheses, including unconventional ones. This approach liberates trading strategies from being confined to historical market behaviors.
We offer extensive customization options to facilitate testing of diverse strategies. The initial setup accommodates both long and short trading scenarios for each identified pattern. Users retain the freedom to adjust trading directions and other parameters within the indicator's settings to align with their analytical preferences.
This open approach is grounded in the methodology detailed in - Trading Diverging Chart Patterns . It is exemplified by the following process, which users can customize and enhance using our indicator.
🎲 Insight into Indicator Components
The chart below provides an illustration of the components comprising our indicator:
Pattern Visualization : This functionality dynamically showcases patterns on the chart, emphasizing presently active ones. Historical patterns are omitted to uphold clarity and optimize performance, considering limitations in drawing object capacity.
Trading Annotations : The indicator conveniently denotes open trades directly on the chart, accommodating both long and short positions based on user preferences and the ongoing status of associated trades for each pattern.
Performance Metrics Table : A comprehensive table meticulously presents backtesting outcomes for individual patterns alongside aggregated results. It encompasses vital metrics such as win rates and the profit factor, calculated in alignment with the designated risk-reward ratio. These insights provide users with valuable assessments of potential profitability and trade strategy effectiveness.
🎲 Delving into the Indicator's Customization Features
Our indicator boasts a wealth of settings, empowering users to customize criteria and refine their trading strategies. Each setting comes with detailed tooltips, offering valuable insights into its functionality. Let's explore each category methodically.
🎯 Zigzag Configuration Options
These settings provide users with the flexibility to fine-tune their pattern analysis by adjusting the length and depth of the zigzag:
Length Adjustment : Altering this parameter modifies the scale of detected patterns. Higher values highlight larger formations, while lower ones focus on more compact patterns.
Depth Enhancement : This parameter adjusts the complexity of the recursive zigzag analysis, potentially revealing larger patterns across multiple levels. Users should exercise caution, as excessive depth may strain the indicator's processing capacity.
🎯 Pattern Scanning Settings
This collection of settings refines the pattern scanning process, typically adjusted to achieve precise geometric alignment of detected patterns. While many settings can be left at their default values for regular use, users are encouraged to customize them, particularly the "Last Pivot Direction," to explore different theoretical approaches to pattern trading.
🎯 Trade Configuration Settings
Arguably the most vital for users, these settings provide full control in shaping trading strategies based on diverging chart patterns. This encompasses the freedom to establish entry, stop, and target prices, fine-tune risk-reward ratios, choose historical depth for backtesting, and integrate filters to guide trade direction.
🎯 Pattern Specific Settings
Here, users have the flexibility to customize settings for individual patterns or groups, thereby refining the precision of their strategies. Alongside the option to enable/disable specific patterns and pattern groups, users can also choose pattern-specific settings such as Last Pivot Direction, Trade Direction Filter, and external filters.
🎯 Fully Customizable Alerts
Utilizing the alert() function, these notifications circumvent the usual template within the alert widget. To address this, we've integrated placeholders in the settings for creating comprehensive alert templates.
Available Categories Include
New - Alerts when a new pattern is identified
Entry - Alerts when an entry condition for a configured pattern based trade is met.
Stop - Alerts when a trade that has reached entry gets stopped out without reaching target
Target - Alerts when a trade reaches its target
Invalidation - Alerts when a trade reaches an invalidation point before reaching the entry.
Each alert type can possess its unique template. Tailorable templates are crucial for effectively utilizing alerts within broker or exchange integration.
Here are some of the placeholders that are defined in the indicator.
{type} - Alert type - new/entry/stop/target/invalid
{pid} - Pattern ID of the pattern belonging to trade. Multiple trades can have same pattern id since a pattern can be traded in both long and short directions.
{tid} - Unique Trade ID for the given trade.
{ticker} - Ticker ID on which the indicator is run
{timeframe} - Chart timeframe on which the indicator is run
{basecurrency} - Base currency of the symbol
{quotecurrency} - Quote currency of the symbol
{pivots} - Pivot values of the pattern
{price} - Current price when the alert is triggered.
{pattern} - Name of the pattern on which the alert is triggered.
{direction} - Direction of the trade.
{entrydirection} - Direction of the entry signal. Used for specific bot integration.
{exitdirection} - Direction of the exit signal. Used for specific bot integration.
{entry} - Entry price of the trade
{stop} - Stop price of the trade
{target} - Target price of the trade
{invalidation} - Invalidation price of the trade
🎯 Display and Stats
These settings regulate the display options on the chart. Closed trade statistics are showcased in a table and appear in the bottom-left corner of the chart. These can be tailored using the display settings.
BST system LiteBST system is Entry Criteria based on the logic of price action which price always moves the way ' contraction-expansion-contraction', also known as 'stage1 & stage2' exchange. Stage1 means that price is squeezed back and forth before/after expansion. Stage2 means impulse or expansion to a certain direction. Both "late stage1" and "early stage2" are the best opportunity for entry. Oppositely both "early stage1" and "late stage2" are the best chance for Take profits.
Key Features:
1. Key Bar: that means price in stage2 which is expanding right now, we would better avoid enter market at the moment till price contracting.
2. Blue dashes/dots: The SL point also means price is in stage1 which is back and forth in a narrow range, price is squeezed/contracted before next expansion/mark up. This is the best chance to enter market.
3. Yellow dashes/dos: The recommended entry point, you can also use blue bashes/dots for instead. Because of slippage and spread in different assets, fine tuning parameters is better option. But the default value 1 is suit for most of assets.
How it works ：
What the Key Bar is: For any given candle, if its body crossover prior candle’s high meanwhile its high reaches the ATR of POC (point of control) of prior candle. That means this candle is more powerful and directional than normal bullish candle. vice versa.
The Bullish Key Bar updated strong new high, so we marked that new high with yellow dashes and meanwhile marked the ATR of POC with blue dashes/dots. From the perspective of “Buy for Sell”, sellers always protect high, buyers always protect low. That is why the new high created by bullish key bar turns into the protected high for sellers. The protected high represents the SL point for sellers and entry point for buyers. Vice versa the Bearish Key Bar.
As we know, market structure is fractal, based on the same rules, the Key Bars will be found in LTF, the protected high/low with ATR of POC which created by Key Bars in LTF are marked with blue dots.
This indicator is not only entry/SL tools. You can use the key bar to verify if the current trend is likely to continue running or not.
Of course, tons of acknowledgment behind charts. Indicator offers just additional view of market. Enjoy.
Harmonic Patterns SuiteHello Traders!

Customizable pattern size and accuracy
Customizable look and feel
The value of this indicator is to support traders to easily identify harmonic patterns in an automated way. The special swing-based pattern recognition and the numerous built-in premium features make this indicator unique. The trader saves a lot of time scanning the markets for harmonic patterns, since everything is done automatically for the trader: Finding the pattern, looking and alerting for a breakout, computing the entry, stop loss and take profit levels as well as handling the risk management and computing the optimal order quantity.
How to Trade with the Harmonic Patterns Suite
Identify the Pattern
Add the Harmonic Patterns Suite to your chart and look for patterns on the asset and timeframe of your choice. The patterns are detected in real-time. If a pattern develops further in the next bars, then the indicator updates the pattern accordingly until a breakout is confirmed or the pattern becomes invalid.
You can also use the built-in alerts to easily get notified when a pattern occurs. In the indicator settings in the "Alerts" section you can choose whether you want to get notified when a pattern is
1. in the making (Pattern active),
2. confirms an up breakout (B/O Up Confirmed)
3. confirms a down breakout (B/O Down Confirmed)
4. (Unconfirmed) in case a pattern breakout occurs, even if the pattern is not yet confirmed
This allows you to stay informed about potential breakout opportunities that are still awaiting confirmation.
Check Pattern Statistics
The pattern statistics make it easy for you to see how successful a pattern is on the asset and timeframe you are watching. You should always check the statistics before entering a trade. The chart displays the statistics in the upper right corner. These statistics are categorized into two sections: "long" for patterns with an upward breakout and "short" for patterns with a downward breakout.
In the initial columns, labeled as "short" and "long", the identified breakouts are further divided based on the different harmonic patterns. The following columns represent the count of the events:
1. Occ. (Occurrence) categorized according to the values of R from the first column
2. TP1, TP2 (Take Profit) - targets 1 und 2
3. SL (Stop Loss)
4. T/O (Time Out) - neither stop loss or targets where hit in a certain amount of time
Breakout – Entry, Stop Loss and Targets
The indicator automatically displays the entry price line (EP) in grey at the point where the breakout got detected. Once a breakout has been confirmed, place a buy order near the EP level for a long position, or a sell order for a short position. Set your stop-loss at the price level of the red stop-loss line (SL) and set your take-profits at the price level of the green take-profit-lines (TP1, TP2).
Risk Management
The Harmonic Patterns Suite comes with a built-in risk management feature. Just go to the settings and scroll down to the section "Risk Management". Here you can enter your Account Size and the percentage you want to Risk when you enter a position after a pattern breakout.
In the "Trade Management" section, you have the option to define the minimum accepted risk-reward ratio for confirmed harmonic patterns. This means that breakouts of patterns failing to meet the minimum risk-reward ratio will not be considered as confirmed signals. If a breakout gets confirmed, the indicator automatically calculates the position size (Quantity). You can read the quantity from the gray entry point line (EP), which is located to the right of the risk-reward ratio (R). Note that your risk-reward ratio (R) is calculated based on TP1.
Customization and settings
The indicator can scan for smaller and larger patterns at the same time. Adjust the harmonics size in the indicator settings to align them with your preferences. A larger size results in larger consolidations. Depending on the asset class, the market or the market phase, different sizes can be used for pattern detection.
To detect more patterns, increase the tolerance level, even though it may result in lower accuracy. However, be mindful that a higher tolerance level may result in more patterns hitting their stop-loss. Look for a tolerance level that leads to favorable statistics and focus on trading patterns with a proven performance history.
Finally, you have the flexibility to customize various visual elements, such as the color of the pattern and whether to display values like price, target, or risk-reward ratio on your chart. You can also choose where these values appear.
Breakout Conditions
Identifying breakout conditions is paramount for successfully recognizing and capitalizing on chart patterns. Trading tools equipped with diverse breakout conditions offer traders a comprehensive approach to deciphering market trends and making informed decisions.
This section delves into the set of breakout conditions built within TRN Harmonics, exploring their functionalities, applications, and the benefits they provide in the realm of chart pattern recognition.
TRN Bars Signal + Trend
The Harmonics Pattern Suite includes also the TRN Bars algorithm. It is designed to spot bullish and bearish trends and reversals. The trend analysis is based on a new algorithm that weights several different inputs:
1. classical and advanced bar patterns and their statistical frequency
2. probability distributions of price expansions after certain bar patterns
3. bar information such as wick length in %, overlapping of the previous bar in % and many more
4. historical trend and consolidation analysis
If you use this breakout condition, the breakout is determined by the next signal (reversal, continuation, breakout) or trend change of the TRN bars after one of the harmonic patterns has been completed. These Breakout conditions give you the accurate trend recognition of the TRN Bars to find the perfect entry.
TRN Bars Signal
If a harmonic pattern gets completed and you use this breakout condition, the breakout will be determined by the next confirmed signal (reversal, continuation, breakout) of the TRN Bars. These Breakout Condition delivers signals with reenforced reliability, but they occur not as often as other breakout conditions.
RSI Crossing
With this breakout condition, a breakout for a long position gets determined, when the RSI line crosses above the RSI moving average (MA) after one of the harmonic patterns has been completed. A bearish breakout after a completed harmonic pattern gets determined, when the RSI line crosses below the RSI MA.
You can choose your preferred RSI and MA length in the indicator settings under the “Trade Management” section.
MACD Crossing
If a harmonic pattern gets completed and you use this breakout condition, the breakout gets determined, when the MACD line crosses above the signal line (bullish MACD crossover) for a bullish breakout. Conversely, when the MACD line crosses below the signal line (bearish MACD crossover), a bearish breakout gets determined after a harmonic pattern was completed.
You can choose your preferred MACD length in the indicator settings under the “Trade Management” section.
Swing Flip
Use this breakout condition, if you want a breakout to get determined when the next swing after point D gets detected by the build in swing detection algorithm of TRN Harmonics.
Close Below/Above Last 2 Lows/Highs
With this breakout condition, a breakout for a short position gets determined, if a close below the lows of the last 2 bars gets detected. For a long position, the breakout gets determined if a close above the highs of the last 2 bars gets detected.
Close Below/Above Last 3 Lows/Highs
In this scenario, a short position breakout is confirmed if the price closes below the lows of the previous 3 bars. Conversely, a long position breakout is confirmed if the price closes above the highs of the last 3 bars.
How To Setup Breakout Conditions
Go to indicator settings and choose one of our built-in breakout conditions under the section "Trade Management" of the menu item "Inputs", like for example TRN Bars Signal + Trend. A selection of 7 distinct breakout conditions is at your disposal.
If you use the default settings of the Harmonic Patterns Suite, TRN Bars Signal + Trend will be the breakout condition for the detected harmonic patterns.
Computation Details
The real-time detection of the harmonic patterns utilizes a unique swing-based pattern recognition. The difference to other swing-based computations is that the pivot points are identified without a look-ahead value. The result is a faster and better real-time detection. Furthermore, the detection of the ratios between the single swings is based on a dynamic volatility measurement similar to the ATR. The tolerance level unites several internal parameters into one and results in a user-friendly setting.

Market Structure RSIDescription:
The Market Structure RSI is an innovative indicator that combines the power of the Relative Strength Index (RSI) with market structure analysis to provide a unique perspective on the market. This indicator helps traders identify potential trend reversals and trading opportunities by analyzing the underlying market structure and generating overbought and oversold signals.
Key Features:
RSI Calculation: The indicator calculates a custom RSI based on the market structure, taking into account the formation of higher highs and lower lows. This unique approach to RSI calculation provides a more accurate representation of the market's strength and weakness.
Overbought and Oversold Levels: Users can customize the overbought and oversold levels according to their preferences. When the Market Structure RSI crosses above the oversold level, it generates a bullish signal, suggesting a potential long entry. Conversely, when the RSI crosses below the overbought level, it generates a bearish signal, indicating a potential short entry.
Moving Average: The indicator includes an optional moving average of the Market Structure RSI, which can be used to smooth out the RSI line and provide additional confirmation of trend reversals. Users can choose between EMA, SMA, and WMA and adjust the length of the moving average.
Customizable Close Type: The indicator allows users to define whether the market structure is deemed broken based on the candle close or the candle high/low. This flexibility enables traders to adapt the indicator to their preferred trading style and market conditions.
Visual Enhancements: The Market Structure RSI features gradient fills between the RSI line and the overbought/oversold levels, providing a clear visual representation of the market's strength. Additionally, the indicator plots bullish and bearish signals as circles on the RSI line, making it easy to identify potential entry points.
How to Use:
Add the Market Structure RSI to your chart and customize the settings according to your preferences, such as the RSI length, overbought and oversold levels, and moving average type and length.
Monitor the Market Structure RSI for crossovers above the oversold level or below the overbought level. A bullish signal occurs when the RSI crosses above the oversold level, while a bearish signal occurs when the RSI crosses below the overbought level.
Use the signals generated by the Market Structure RSI in conjunction with other technical analysis tools and price action patterns to confirm potential trade entries. The indicator works well as a complementary tool to support your existing trading strategy.
Consider the overall trend and market context when interpreting the signals generated by the Market Structure RSI. The indicator is most effective in trending markets and may produce less reliable signals in choppy or ranging market conditions.
Utilize sound risk management principles, such as setting appropriate stop-loss and take-profit levels, when trading based on the Market Structure RSI signals.
The Market Structure RSI offers a fresh perspective on the classic RSI indicator by incorporating market structure analysis. By combining the power of RSI with the identification of higher highs and lower lows, this indicator provides traders with a valuable tool for identifying potential trend reversals and trading opportunities. Whether you are a seasoned trader or just starting out, the Market Structure RSI can be a valuable addition to your technical analysis toolkit.

As chart above, I input my initial account as 200k$ and I normally take 1% risk for each position.
I want to buy at green box on chart above with SL is around 15.3 pips on AUDUSD.
Indicator helped to calculate lot size as 13.07 lot to trade.
I hope this indicator help you to trade and manage account better.
Simple Position SizerSimple Position Sizer is designed to calculate optimal position sizes based on a defined risk percentage and stop-loss level. It offers two modes for determining position size: using the current close price or a specified entry price. The script provides key trade details such as entry price, stop-loss level, quantity to trade, total cost, and risk amount in monetary terms, alongside visual indications of these parameters through colored lines and labels on the chart. Users can customize account size, risk per trade percentage, and entry and stop-loss levels directly within the settings.
Usage Scenario:
A trader looking to enter a position would first decide whether the entry is based on the current closing price or a predetermined level. After setting the stop-loss level and specifying the risk per trade as a percentage of the account size, the script calculates the number of shares or contracts to purchase. It also computes the total cost of the position and displays the potential loss if the stop-loss is triggered, allowing the trader to understand the risk involved before entering the trade.
Visual Indicators:
Green indicators suggest a long setup where the entry level is above the stop-loss, indicating bullish entry.
Red indicators signal a short setup where the entry level is below the stop-loss, reflecting bearish entry
Blue lines represent the entry level when specified by the trader, providing a visual cue for planned entries.
Altered Money Flow Index by CoffeeShopCrypto**Use the comments section below to request access to the script**
Market Trends need to be confirmed each and every time.
Over the years the Money Flow Index has been a tool to find where the money is flowing
either long or short in market movements.
Long confirmation and false short
Confirming a long entry:
1. Wait for price to close above a previous swing high.
2. Look to see if the MFI is in UPCOLOR and above ZERO.
Confriming a short entry:
1. Wait for price to close below a previous swing low.
2. Look to see if the MFI is in DOWNCOLOR and below ZERO.
NON-Confirmed market: (Flat Market)
Anytime you believe you have a confirmation via price action, check the MFI to see if it is in FLAT MARKET color.
If this is true, do not enter until it is out of FLAT MARKET color.
Flat Market ALtered MFI
A Flat Market Altered MFI reading can do a few things for you.
It can help to confirm the following:
1. price action is moving sideways.
2. a pullback or market stall that was deep enough where dis-intrest in the market occured.
3. a sudden loss of momentum in the short term trend of closing prices.
Utilizing the Altered Money Flow Index indicator by CoffeeShopCrypto offers traders a nuanced approach to identifying market trends, including periods of flat market conditions. Alongside its directional bias indicating bullish or bearish activity based on whether values are above or below zero, respectively, the script incorporates a distinctive feature to recognize flat markets. When neither bullish nor bearish momentum dominates, the indicator designates a flat market, denoted by a distinct color. This feature enhances traders' ability to discern not only bullish and bearish phases but also periods of market consolidation or indecision.
In addition to its ability to recognize bullish and bearish trends, the Altered Money Flow Index indicator by CoffeeShopCrypto incorporates a unique feature to signify potential pullbacks or pauses in market momentum. This is particularly evident when the MFI crosses below zero while displaying a flat market color. Such occurrences suggest that although the short-term movement may appear bearish, it's likely a temporary pullback rather than a sustained trend reversal. Similarly, when the MFI crosses above zero amidst a flat market color, it indicates a potential pause in bullish momentum, urging traders to exercise caution and await confirmation of a sustained uptrend. By incorporating these nuanced observations, traders can effectively discern between short-term fluctuations and significant trend changes, enabling them to make more judicious trading decisions and avoid premature entries or exits.
Alongside its directional bias indicating bullish or bearish activity based on whether values are above or below zero, respectively, the script integrates the Relative Strength Index (RSI) to further refine market analysis. When the Altered MFI and RSI are both above zero, it suggests a strong bullish trend, indicating significant buying pressure. Conversely, when both indicators are below zero, it indicates a strong bearish trend, signifying heightened selling pressure. By observing the confluence between the Altered MFI and RSI, traders can gain valuable confirmation of bullish or bearish money flow in the market, enabling them to make more informed trading decisions.
MACD / Connectable [Azullian]Enhance your market insight with the MACD indicator. Monitor momentum to make more informed trading decisions, facilitating the development of stronger strategies.
This connectable MACD indicator is part of an indicator system designed to help test, visualize and build strategy configurations without coding. Like all connectable indicators , it interacts through the TradingView input source, which serves as a signal connector to link indicators to each other. All connectable indicators send signal weight to the next node in the system until it reaches either a connectable signal monitor, signal filter and/or strategy.
█ UNIFORM SETTINGS AND A WAY OF WORK
Although connectable indicators may have specific weight scoring conditions, they all aim to follow a standardized general approach to weight scoring settings, as outlined below.
■ Connectable indicators - Settings
• 🗲 Energy: Energy applies an ATR multiplier to the plotted shapes on the chart. A higher value plots shapes farther away from the candle, enhancing visibility.
• ☼ Brightness: Brightness determines the opacity of the shape plotted on the chart, aiding visibility. Indicator weight also influences opacity.
• → Input: Use the input setting to specify a data source for the indicator. Here you can connect the indicator to other indicators.
• ⌥ Flow: Determine where you want to receive signals from:
○ Both: Weights from this indicator and the connected indicator will apply
○ Indicator only: Only weights from this indicator will apply
○ Input only: Only weights from the connected indicator will apply
• ⥅ Weight multiplier: Multiply all weights in the entire indicator by a given factor, useful for quickly testing different indicators in a granular setup.
• ⥇ Threshold: Set a threshold to indicate the minimum amount of weight it should receive to pass it through to the next indicator.
• ⥱ Limiter: Set a hard limit to the maximum amount of weight that can be fed through the indicator.
■ Connectable indicators - Weight scoring settings
▢ Weight scoring conditions
• SM – Signal mode: Enable specific conditions for weight scoring
○ All: All signals will be scored.
○ Entries only: Only entries will score.
○ Exits only: Only exits will score.
○ Entries & exits: Both entries and exits will score.
○ Zone: Continuous scoring for each candle within the zone.
• SP – Signal period: Defines a range of candles within which a signal can score.
• SC - Signal count: Specifies the number of bars to retrospectively examine and score.
○ Single: Score for a single occurrence
○ All occurrences: Score for all occurrences
○ Single + Threshold: Score for single occurrences within the signal period (SP)
○ Every + Threshold: Score for all occurrences within the signal period (SP)
▢ Weight scoring direction
• ES: Enter Short weight
• XL: Exit long weight
• EL: Enter Long weight
• XS: Exit Short weight
▢ Weight scoring values
• Weights can hold either positive or negative scores. Positive weights enhance a particular trading direction, while negative weights diminish it.
█ MACD - INDICATOR SETTINGS
■ Main settings
• Enable/Disable Indicator: Toggle the entire indicator on or off.
• S - Source: Choose an alternative data source for the MACD calculation.
• T - Timeframe: Select an alternative timeframe for the MACD calculation.
• FL - Fast Length: Define the number of bars or periods used in the MACD calculation for the fast length.
• SL - Fast Length: Define the number of bars or periods used in the MACD calculation for the slow length.
• SM - Smoothing: Smooths the averaged MACD over a specified period.
• C - Condition Define the smoothing amount
○ Above/Below zero: : Trigger when the MACD line is above or below zero
○ All: : Trigger on all conditions
■ MACD Scoring functionality
• The MACD scores long entries when it crosses above its smoothed value and is below the zero line.
• The MACD scores long exits when it crosses below its smoothed value after a long entry.
• The MACD scores long zones the entire time the MACD line is above its smoothed value and below zero.
• The MACD scores short entries when it crosses below its smoothed value and is above the zero line.
• The MACD scores short exits when it crosses above its smoothed value after a short entry.
• The MACD scores short zones the entire time the MACD line is below its smoothed value and above zero.
█ PLOTTING
• Standard: Symbols (EL, XS, ES, XL) appear relative to candles based on set conditions. Their opacity and position vary with weight.
• Conditional Settings: A larger icon appears if global conditions are met. For instance, with a Threshold(⥇) of 12, Signal Period (SP) of 3, and Scoring Condition (SC) set to "EVERY", an MACD signaling over two times in 3 candles (scoring 6 each) triggers a larger icon.
█ USAGE OF CONNECTABLE INDICATORS
■ Connectable chaining mechanism
Connectable indicators can be connected directly to the signal monitor, signal filter or strategy , or they can be daisy chained to each other while the last indicator in the chain connects to the signal monitor, signal filter or strategy. When using a signal filter you can chain the filter to the strategy input to make your chain complete.
• Direct chaining: Connect an indicator directly to the signal monitor, signal filter or strategy through the provided inputs (→).
• Daisy chaining: Connect indicators using the indicator input (→). The first in a daisy chain should have a flow (⌥) set to 'Indicator only'. Subsequent indicators use 'Both' to pass the previous weight. The final indicator connects to the signal monitor, signal filter, or strategy.
■ Set up this indicator with a signal filter and strategy
The indicator provides visual cues based on signal conditions. However, its weight system is best utilized when paired with a connectable signal filter, monitor, or strategy .
Let's connect the MACD to a connectable signal filter and a strategy :
1. Load all relevant indicators
• Load MACD / Connectable
• Load Signal filter / Connectable
• Load Strategy / Connectable
2. Signal Filter: Connect the MACD to the Signal Filter
• Open the signal filter settings
• Choose one of the three input dropdowns (1→, 2→, 3→) and choose : MACD / Connectable: Signal Connector
• Toggle the enable box before the connected input to enable the incoming signal
3. Signal Filter: Update the filter signals settings if needed
• The default settings of the filter enable EL (Enter Long), XL (Exit Long), ES (Enter Short) and XS (Exit Short).
4. Signal Filter: Update the weight threshold settings if needed
• All connectable indicators load by default with a score of 6 for each direction (EL, XL, ES, XS)
• By default, weight threshold (TH) is set at 5. This allows each occurrence to score, as the default score in each connectable indicator is 1 point above the threshold. Adjust to your liking.
5. Strategy: Connect the strategy to the signal filter in the strategy settings
• Select a strategy input → and select the Signal filter: Signal connector
6. Strategy: Enable filter compatible directions
• Set the signal mode of the strategy to a compatible direction with the signal filter.
Now that everything is connected, you'll notice green spikes in the signal filter representing long signals, and red spikes indicating short signals. Trades will also appear on the chart, complemented by a performance overview. Your journey is just beginning: delve into different scoring mechanisms, merge diverse connectable indicators, and craft unique chains. Instantly test your results and discover the potential of your configurations. Dive deep and enjoy the process!
█ BENEFITS
• Adaptable Modular Design: Arrange indicators in diverse structures via direct or daisy chaining, allowing tailored configurations to align with your analysis approach.
• Streamlined Backtesting: Simplify the iterative process of testing and adjusting combinations, facilitating a smoother exploration of potential setups.
• Intuitive Interface: Navigate TradingView with added ease. Integrate desired indicators, adjust settings, and establish alerts without delving into complex code.

• Clear Visual Feedback: Distinct visual signals and cues enhance the readability of charts, promoting informed decision-making.
• Standardized Defaults: Indicators are equipped with universally recognized preset settings, ensuring consistency in initial setups across different types like momentum or volatility.
• Reliability: Our indicators are meticulously developed to prevent repainting. We strictly adhere to TradingView's coding conventions, ensuring our code is both performant and clean.
█ COMPATIBLE INDICATORS
Each indicator that incorporates our open-source 'azLibConnector' library and adheres to our conventions can be effortlessly integrated and used as detailed above.
For clarity and recognition within the TradingView platform, we append the suffix ' / Connectable' to every compatible indicator.
█ COMMON MISTAKES, CLARIFICATIONS AND TIPS
• Removing an indicator from a chain: Deleting a linked indicator and confirming the "remove study tree" alert will also remove all underlying indicators in the object tree. Before removing one, disconnect the adjacent indicators and move it to the object stack's bottom.
• Point systems: The azLibConnector provides 500 points for each direction (EL: Enter long, XL: Exit long, ES: Enter short, XS: Exit short) Remember this cap when devising a point structure.
• Flow misconfiguration: In daisy chains the first indicator should always have a flow (⌥) setting of 'indicator only' while other indicator should have a flow (⌥) setting of 'both'.
• Hide attributes: As connectable indicators send through quite some information you'll notice all the arguments are taking up some screenwidth and cause some visual clutter. You can disable arguments in Chart Settings / Status line.
• Layout and abbreviations: To maintain a consistent structure, we use abbreviations for each input. While this may initially seem complex, you'll quickly become familiar with them. Each abbreviation is also explained in the inline tooltips.
• Inputs: Connecting a connectable indicator directly to the strategy delivers the raw signal without a weight threshold, meaning every signal will trigger a trade.

Long-Term Investment Strategies: DKK, SKK and SKK2
In the dynamic realm of long-term investing, the DKK, SKK, and SKK2 strategies stand as valuable pillars. These strategies, meticulously designed to assist investors in building robust portfolios, combine the power of Super Trend, RSI (Relative Strength Index), Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs), and their crossovers. By providing clear alerts and buy signals on a daily time frame, they equip users with the tools needed to make well-informed investment decisions and navigate the complexities of the financial markets. These strategies offer a versatile and structured approach to both conservative and aggressive investment, catering to the diverse preferences and objectives of investors.
Each part of this strategy provides a unique perspective and approach to the accumulation of assets, making it a versatile and comprehensive method for investors seeking to optimize their portfolio performance. By diligently applying this multi-faceted approach, investors can make informed decisions and effectively capitalize on potential market opportunities.
DKK Strategy for ETFs:
The DKK system is a strategy designed for accumulating only ETFs as long-term investments in your portfolio. It simplifies the process of identifying trend reversals and opportune moments to invest in listed ETFs, particularly during bull markets. Here's a detailed explanation of the DKK system:
Objective: The primary aim of the DKK system is to build a long-term investment portfolio by focusing on only ETFs. It facilitates the identification of ETFs that are in the process of reversing their trends, allowing investors to benefit from upward price movements in these financial instruments.
ETFs Selection Criteria: The DKK system employs specific criteria for selecting ETFs:
• 200EMA (Exponential Moving Average): The system monitors whether the prices of ETFs are consistently below the 200-day Exponential Moving Average. This is considered an indicator of weakness, especially on a daily time frame.
• RSI (Relative Strength Index): The system looks for an RSI value of less than 40. An RSI below 40 is often seen as an indication of a weak or oversold condition in a financial instrument.
Alert Signal: Once the DKK system identifies ETFs meeting these criteria, it provides an alert signal:
• Red Upside Triangle Sign: This signal is automatically generated on the daily chart of only ETFs. It serves as a clear indicator to investors that it's an opportune time to accumulate these financial instruments for long-term investment.
It's important to note that the DKK system is specifically designed for ETFs only, so it should be applied to these types of investments. Additionally, it's recommended to track index ETFs, in line with the DKK system's approach. This strategy simplifies the process of identifying investment opportunities within this asset class, particularly during periods of market weakness.
SKK Strategy for Conservative Stock Investment:
The SKK system is a stock investment strategy tailored for conservative investors seeking long-term portfolio growth with a focus on stability and prudent decision-making. This strategy is meticulously designed to identify pivotal market trends and stock price movements, allowing investors to make informed choices and capitalize on upward market trends while minimizing risk. Here's a comprehensive overview of the SKK system, emphasizing its suitability for conservative investors:
Objective: The primary objective of the SKK system is to accumulate stocks as long-term investments in your portfolio while prioritizing capital preservation. It offers a disciplined approach to pinpointing potential entry points for stocks, particularly during market corrections and trend reversals, thereby enabling you to actively participate in bullish market phases while adopting a conservative risk management stance.
Stock Selection Criteria: The SKK system employs a stringent set of criteria to select stocks for investment:
• Correction Mode: It identifies stocks that have undergone a correction, signifying a decline in stock prices from their recent highs. This conservative approach emphasizes the importance of seeking stocks with a history of stability.
• 200EMA (Exponential Moving Average): The system diligently analyses daily stock price movements, specifically looking for stocks that have fallen to or below the 200-day Exponential Moving Average. This indicator suggests potential overselling and aligns with a conservative strategy of buying low.
Trend Reversal Confirmation: The SKK system doesn't merely pinpoint stocks in correction mode; it takes an extra step to confirm a trend reversal. It employs the following indicators:
• Short-term Downtrends Reversal: This aspect focuses on identifying the reversal of short-term downtrends in stock prices, observed through the transition of the super trend indicator from the red zone to the green zone. This cautious approach ensures that the trend is genuinely shifting.
• Super Trend Zones: These zones are crucial for assessing whether a stock is in a bullish or bearish trend. The system consistently monitors these zones to confirm a potential trend reversal.
Alert & Buy Signals: When the SKK system identifies stocks that have reached a potential bottom and are on the verge of a trend reversal, it issues vital alert signals, aiding conservative investors in prudent decision-making:
• Orange Upside Triangle Sign: This signal serves as a cautious heads-up, indicating that a stock may be poised for a trend reversal. It advises investors to prepare funds for potential investment without taking undue risks.
• Green Upside Triangle Sign: This is the confirmation of a trend reversal, signifying a robust buy signal. Conservative investors can confidently enter the market at this point, accumulating stocks for a long-term investment, secure in the knowledge that the trend is in their favour.
• Additionally, if the Supertrend transitions from green to red zone during the alert signal is active and before the buy signal, the SKK setup will be considered invalid. This adjustment ensures precise trend reversal identification during corrections. The conservative investors to confidently enter the market, accumulating discounted stocks primarily at the bottom while avoiding unnecessary signals.
In summary, the SKK system is a systematic and conservative approach to stock investing. It excels in identifying stocks experiencing corrections and ensures that investors act when there's a strong indication of a trend reversal, all while prioritizing capital preservation and risk management. This strategy empowers conservative investors to navigate the intricacies of the stock market with confidence, providing a calculated and stable path toward long-term portfolio growth.
Note: The SKK strategy, known for its conservative approach to stock investment, also provides an option to extend its methodology to REIT (Real Estate Investment Trusts) and INVIT (Infrastructure Investment Trusts) Funds for those investors who wish to accumulate assets more aggressively. You can harness the SKK strategy's careful criteria and signal indicators to accumulate aggressive investments in REIT and INVIT Funds.
This flexible approach acknowledges that even within a conservative strategy, there may be opportunities for more assertive investments in assets like REIT and INVIT Funds. By making use of this option, you can strike a balance between a conservative stance in your stock portfolio while exploring an aggressive approach in other asset classes. It offers the versatility to cater to a variety of investment preferences, ensuring that you can adapt your strategy to suit your financial goals and risk tolerance.
SKK 2 Strategy for Aggressive Stock Investment:
The SKK 2 strategy is designed for those who are determined not to miss significant opportunities within a continuous uptrend and seek a way to enter a trend that doesn't present entry signals through the SKK strategy. While it offers a more aggressive entry approach, it is ideal for individuals willing to take calculated risks to potentially reap substantial long-term rewards. This strategy is particularly suitable for accumulating stocks for aggressive long-term investment. Here's a detailed description of the SKK 2 strategy:
Objective: The primary aim of the SKK 2 strategy is to provide an avenue for investors to identify short-term trend reversals and seize the opportunity to enter stocks during an uptrend, thereby capitalizing on a sustained bull run. It acknowledges that there may not always be clear entry signals through the SKK strategy and offers a more aggressive alternative.
Stock Selection Criteria: The SKK 2 strategy utilizes a specific set of criteria for stock selection:
1. 50EMA (Exponential Moving Average): It targets stocks that are trading below the 50-day Exponential Moving Average. This signals a short-term reversal from the top and indicates that the stock is in a downtrend.
2. RSI (Relative Strength Index): The strategy considers stocks with an RSI of less than 40, which is an indicator of weakness in the stock.
Alert Signals: The SKK 2 strategy provides distinct alert signals that facilitate entry during an aggressive reversal:
• Orange Downside Triangle Sign: This signal is triggered when the stock is below the 50EMA and has an RSI of less than 40. It serves as a clear warning of a short-term reversal from the top and a downtrend, displayed on the daily chart.
• Purple Upside Triangle Sign: This sign is generated when a reversal occurs through a bullish candle, and the RSI is greater than 40. It signifies the stock has bottomed out from a short-term downtrend and is now reversing. This purple upside triangle serves as an entry signal on the chart, presenting an attractive opportunity to accumulate stocks during a strong bullish phase, offering a chance to seize a potentially favourable long-term investment.
In essence, the SKK 2 strategy caters to aggressive investors who are willing to take calculated risks to enter stocks during a continuous uptrend. It focuses on identifying short-term reversals and provides well-defined signals for entry. While this strategy is more aggressive in nature, it has the potential to yield substantial rewards for those who are comfortable with a higher level of risk and are looking for opportunities to build a strong long-term portfolio.

Liquidity Sweeps [LuxAlgo]The Liquidity Sweeps indicator detects the presence of liquidity sweeps on the user's chart, while also providing potential areas of support/resistance or entry when Liquidity levels are taken.
In the event of a Liquidity Sweep a Sweep Area is created which may provide further areas of interest.
🔶 USAGE
A Liquidity Sweep occurs when the price breaks through a liquidity level (further referred to as LqL ), after which the price returns below/above the liquidity level , forming a wick.
The script provides 2 options when this can happen:
A wick passes a LqL after which the price quickly returns.
First the closing price breaks through a LqL . After a while, the price retests the LqL and forms a wick in the opposite direction.
The examples above show a bullish and bearish scenario of "a wick passing through an LqL where the price quickly comes back". This type of Liquidity Sweep is represented by a dotted line.
The following example shows a broken LqL , where the price retests the Liquidity zone and bounces back.
Instead of a dotted line, this type of Liquidity Sweep is represented by a dashed line.
When a Liquidity Sweep takes place, this is indicated by highlighting the "wick- LqL " distance. This distance is also the basis for the Sweep Area (see next sub-section). A small 3-bar long dotted line starts from the opposite wick as an extra aid to determine potential support/resistance/entry, ...
Colors can be set in the settings (here yellow and aqua blue instead of default colors for clarity).
🔹 Sweep Areas
The distance between the LqL and the maximum limit of the wick forms a Sweep Area , which can provide a potential support/resistance or entry zone.
These examples show both types of Liquidity Sweeps , followed by a box indicating the Sweep Area .
When the Sweep Area is mitigated or a certain amount of bars has passed (Settings - 'Max bars'), the boxes will no longer be updated.
In this case, the 'Trigger' label shows the bar where the high crossed a LqL , after which a red box starts between LqL and high.
The low of the 'Trigger' bar is the starting point of a short dotted line. Next to the 'Trigger bar' the high touches the Sweep Area before returning, providing a potential short entry. One bar further, another entry opportunity presents itself when the price breaks the small dotted line.
In the following bullish example, not only do we see opportunities when the LqL has been swept, but the following Sweep Area provides some potential entries.
The small green dotted lines also act as a guide where the price breaks above, then forms a small range, after which the price continues in an upward direction.
Here, the initial trigger on the left forms a Sweep Area that is quickly broken. However, the small green line provides a potential entry area later on. The price moves in a short channel before breaking above the LqL (green dashed line), providing more potential entries. Price retests this LqL , and goes below this level. The price remained around the previously formed channel, after which the price resumed its upward trend.
