Kapua Whenua LANDZZ1Kapua Whenua means Earth's Clouds in Maori language, this indicator was created to show impulses and trends of the asset's price movement both up and down.
The Indicator was made based on key numbers of the golden ratio:
Conversion Line: Kw 17 (Purple Color)
Kw 34 - Short Period Fractal (Light Blue Color)
Kw 72 - Short/Medium Period Fractal (Orange)
Kw 144 - Medium Period Fractal (Yellow Color)
Kw 305 - Medium/Long Period Fractal (Dark Blue Color)
Kw 610 - Long Period Fractal (Grey)
Kw 1292 - Long Period Fractal+ (Black Color)
The baseline or also called the conversion line is identified by the Color Purple of value 17.
How to read the indicator:
Every time the conversion line (Purple Color 17 periods) crosses a Kw value (Kapua Whenua) it will always look for the next KW line above or below the value as support or resistance.
For example:
If we are in a bull market, and the price crosses below the KW17 conversion line it will go towards KW 34 as support, if the price breaks KW 34 it will go towards the next line below KW 34 as support.
Every time the conversion line or the price crosses a higher value of Kapua Whenua (KW) this trend will be stronger, it means, if the conversion line (KW 17) crosses above KW 305 it will indicate more strength than if it had crossed above the KW 72 or 144 for example. So to get better results trading with the trend, always observe if the conversion line and the price are below or above some Medium/Long Period KW.
Note also that, in an uptrend, it could be that all KW are below each other. In a downtrend, it could be that all KW are on top of each other. This indicates that the farther the price is from the fractals the stronger the trend is, also, when there is a narrowing of the fractals means that the price will start to go sideways. If the price is between 2 or more Fractals, it will indicate consolidation.
A really good trend is considered when the price or the Short/Medium Period Fractals are all above or below at KW 610, which is a long period fractal, meaning a strong uptrend or downtrend.
A larger KW can be at the same point as a smaller KW, however, the stronger color will be shown above the weaker one.
***Larger chart timeframes are better to see longer KW fractals that are above or below the price, if your chart timeframe doesn't show a bigger support or resistance fractal, change the chart time to another longer period**
Tip - Get used to looking at line colors as your indicators, just like moving averages. You can also take or place any fractal at any time in the configuration menu.

Prometheus Fractal-Based TrendThe Fractal-Based Trend indicator is a tool that uses fractals to try and detect which direction an underlying will continue to go.
Calculation:
A bullish fractal occurs when the current bar's high is lower than the previous bar high, and the previous bar's high is higher than both the high from two bars ago and the high from three bars ago.
A bearish fractal happens when the current bar's low is higher than the previous bar's low, and the previous bar's low is lower than both the low from two bars ago and the low from three bars ago.
When a bullish or bearish fractal forms, the corresponding value stored is the previous bar high for a bearish fractal or the previous bar's low for a bullish fractal.
The trade scenarios are when these fractals occur, a green or red label being plotted on the chart for whatever direction it predicts.
Trade examples:
We see on this daily chart of AMEX:SPY that the fractals represent the potential for a directional trade that can last a few days. The more volatile a chart is the more of these fractals we can see.
We see on this 5 minute chart for NASDAQ:TSLA there is way more activity, there are more sporadic candles on a lower time frame, so we can see more anomalies in the price action.
We see this to be true for BITSTAMP:BTCUSD even on a daily time frame, since it is very volatile. There are a lot of these labels plotted.
This is the perspective we aim to provide. We encourage traders to not follow indicators blindly. No indicator is 100% accurate. This one can give you a different perspective of price strength with volatility. We encourage any comments about desired updates or criticism!
Essa's Indicator 2.0Essa's Indicator V2: Beginner's Guide
This custom TradingView indicator has been designed to help you identify key trading opportunities based on session highs/lows, volatility, and moving averages. Below is a breakdown of the main features:
1. Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs)
Fast EMA (Blue Line): Tracks the short-term market trend (default: 9-period EMA).
Slow EMA (Red Line): Tracks the longer-term market trend (default: 21-period EMA).
You can turn on/off the EMAs using the "Show EMAs" option in the settings.
EMAs help smooth out price action and give a clearer picture of trends. A crossover of the fast EMA above the slow EMA can signal an upward trend, while the reverse may indicate a downward trend.
2. Session Highs and Lows
The indicator tracks price highs and lows for three major trading sessions:
London Session (Red): Highlighted in red. Active between 08:00 and 17:00 (LDN timezone) or 03:00 and 12:00 (NY timezone).
New York Session (Blue): Highlighted in blue. Active between 12:00 and 21:00 (LDN timezone) or 07:00 and 16:00 (NY timezone).
Asia Session (Yellow): Highlighted in yellow. Active between 22:00 and 08:00 (LDN timezone) or 18:00 and 03:00 (NY timezone).
Highs and lows for each session are plotted on the chart as lines. Breakouts from these levels can signal important trading opportunities:
London High/Low: Red lines.
New York High/Low: Blue lines.
Asia High/Low: Yellow lines.
The background color also changes depending on the active session:
London: Light red background.
New York: Light blue background.
Asia: Light yellow background.
3. Breakout Alerts
You can set alerts when the price breaks above or below session highs/lows:
Break Above London High: Alert triggered when the price crosses the London session high.
Break Below London Low: Alert triggered when the price falls below the London session low.
Similar alerts exist for the New York and Asia sessions as well.
4. Volatility-Adjusted EMA
The EMAs in this indicator are adjusted based on volatility (ATR - Average True Range). This allows the EMAs to respond to market conditions more dynamically, giving you more accurate trend readings in volatile markets.
5. ZigZag Feature (Optional)
You can enable the ZigZag feature to help visualize the price action's highs and lows:
ZigZag Lines: Highlight major peaks and troughs in price movements, helping you spot trends more easily.
This is helpful for identifying reversals or trend continuations.
6. Fractal Markers
This indicator uses fractals to mark potential turning points in the market:
Green Triangles (Above the Price): Indicate up fractals (potential reversal points where the price could move upwards).
Red Triangles (Below the Price): Indicate down fractals (potential reversal points where the price could move downwards).
Fractals can be a helpful confirmation tool when identifying entry and exit points.
7. Custom Timezone Options
You can choose between London (LDN) and New York (NY) timezones in the settings to adapt the session times to your trading location. This ensures the session high/low markers are displayed correctly for your trading region.
By default, the New York (NY) timezone is enabled for FXCM charts in the UK.
For BTC charts, you will need to switch to the appropriate time zone manually.

[VDB]TrendScalp-FractalBox-3EMAThere are many indicators with William’s Fractal and Alligator. As many use EMA’s it may be useful to define a 3-EMA ribbon and combining Fractal Levels/Box (filling background between top and bottom fractals) for trend scalping. I searched for this kind of indicator in community – some show fractals, some just levels, some with alligator etc. but couldn't find the one needed. Hence thought of this indicator which may be of interest to other users too.
Key Points:
EMA ribbon is created using 3 EMA’s 35/70/105. Users can change these as per their preference. This is used for trend identification – 1. Bullish bias if Price > EMA1 > EMA2 > EMA3. 2. Bearish bias if Price < EMA1 < EMA2 < EMA3.
Background is marked during crossing of EMA1 and EMA2 to alert possible trend change.
5-bar fractals are used to mark the Fractal levels and background between top and bottom fractals are filled to create a Fractal Box.
Fractal levels are marked only when the fractal formation is complete. Given offset is used this is lagging.
How to Use:
Sloping EMA ribbon is used for identifying the trend.
Fractal box break-out/ break-downs are used to trigger the trade with fractal high/low for entry/SL. Waiting for price contraction towards EMA ribbon resulting in smaller boxes is key to initiate trade. Avoid bigger boxes as SL’s will be big and price may move within. To draw the vertical lines of FractalBox change fractal level0 style to step-line.
This indicator combined with the cycle high/low (overbought/oversold) indicators such as CCI/Stochastic/RSI etc. can make it a good trend scalping setup while trading in the direction of momentum in higher timeframe.
This setup could be used for any timeframes. Do your back-testing before using it in live market.
This indicator was achieved by combing some fractal ideas from “Fractal and Alligator Alerts by JustUncleL”

Kawabunga Swing Failure Points Candles (SFP) by RRBKawabunga Swing Failure Points Candles (SFP) by RagingRocketBull 2019
Version 1.0
This indicator shows Swing Failure Points (SFP) and Swing Confirmation Points (SCP) as candles on a chart.
SFP/SCP candles are used by traders as signals for trend confirmation/possible reversal.
The signal is stronger on a higher volume/larger candle size.
A Swing Failure Point (SFP) candle is used to spot a reversal:
- up trend SFP is a failure to close above prev high after making a new higher high => implies reversal down
- down trend SFP is a failure to close below prev low after making a new lower low => implies reversal up
A Swing Confirmation Point (SCP) candle is just the opposite and is used to confirm the current trend:
- up trend SCP is a successful close above prev high after making a new higher high => confirms the trend and implies continuation up
- down trend SCP is a successful close below prev low after making a new lower low => confirms the trend and implies continuation down
Features:
- uses fractal pivots with optional filter
- show/hide SFP/SCP candles, pivots, zigzag, last min/max pivot bands
- dim lag zones/hide false signals introduced by lagging fractals or
- use unconfirmed pivots to eliminate fractal lag/false signals. 2 modes: fractals 1,1 and highest/lowest
- filter only SFP/SCP candles confirmed with volume/candle size
- SFP/SCP candles color highlighting, dim non-important bars
Usage:
- adjust fractal settings to get pivots that best match your data (lower values => more frequent pivots. 0,0 - each candle is a pivot)
- use one of the unconfirmed pivot modes to eliminate false signals or just ignore all signals in the gray lag zones
- optionally filter only SFP/SCP candles with large volume/candle size (volume % change relative to prev bar, abs candle body size value)
- up/down trend SCP (lime/fuchsia) => continuation up/down; up/down trend SFP (orange/aqua) => possible reversal down/up. lime/aqua => up; fuchsia/orange => down.
- when in doubt use show/hide pivots/unconfirmed pivots, min/max pivot bands to see which prev pivot and min/max value were used in comparisons to generate a signal on the following candle.
- disable offset to check on which bar the signal was generated
Notes:
Fractal Pivots:
- SFP/SCP candles depend on fractal pivots, you will get different signals with different pivot settings. Usually 4,4 or 2,2 settings are used to produce fractal pivots, but you can try custom values that fit your data best.
- fractal pivots are a mixed series of highs and lows in no particular order. Pivots must be filtered to produce a proper zigzag where ideally a high is followed by a low and another high in orderly fashion.
Fractal Lag/False Signals:
- only past fractal pivots can be processed on the current bar introducing a lag, therefore, pivots and min/max pivot bands are shown with offset=-rightBars to match their target bars. For unconfirmed pivots an offset=-1 is used with a lag of just 1 bar.
- new pivot is not a confirmed fractal and "does not exist yet" while the distance between it and the current bar is < rightBars => prev old fractal pivot in the same dir is used for comparisons => gives a false signal for that dir
- to show false signals enable lag zones. SFP/SCP candles in lag zones are false. New pivots will be eventually confirmed, but meanwhile you get a false signal because prev pivot in the same dir was used instead.
- to solve this problem you can either temporary hide false signals or completely eliminate them by using unconfirmed pivots of a smaller degree/lag.
- hiding false signals only works for history and should be used only temporary (left disabled). In realtime/replay mode it disables all signals altogether due to TradingView's bug (barcolor doesn't support negative offsets)
Unconfirmed Pivots:
- you have 2 methods to check for unconfirmed pivots: highest/lowest(rightBars) or fractals(1,1) with a min possible step. The first is essentially fractals(0,0) where each candle is a pivot. Both produce more frequent pivots (weaker signals).
- an unconfirmed pivot is used in comparisons to generate a valid signal only when it is a higher high (> max high) or a lower low (< min low) in the dir of a trend. Confirmed pivots of a higher degree are not affected. Zigzag is not affected.
- you can also manually disable the offset to check on which bar the pivot was confirmed. If the pivot just before an SCP/SFP suddenly jumps ahead of it - prev pivot was used, generating a false signal.
- last max high/min low bands can be used to check which value was used in candle comparison to generate a signal: min(pivot min_low, upivot min_low) and max(pivot max_high, upivot max_high) are used
- in the unconfirmed pivots mode the max high/min low pivot bands partially break because you can't have a variable offset to match the random pos of an unconfirmed pivot (anywhere in 0..rightBars from the current bar) to its target bar.
- in the unconfirmed pivots mode h (green) and l (red) pivots become H and L, and h (lime) and l (fuchsia) are used to show unconfirmed pivots of a smaller degree. Some of them will be confirmed later as H and L pivots of a higher degree.
Pivot Filter:
- pivot filter is used to produce a better looking zigzag. Essentially it keeps only higher highs/lower lows in the trend direction until it changes, skipping:
- after a new high: all subsequent lower highs until a new low
- after a new low: all subsequent higher lows until a new high
- you can't filter out all prev highs/lows to keep just the last min/max pivots of the current swing because they were already confirmed as pivots and you can't delete/change history
- alternatively you could just pick the first high following a low and the first low following a high in a sequence and ignore the rest of the pivots in the same dir, producing a crude looking zigzag where obvious max high/min lows are ignored.
- pivot filter affects SCP/SFP signals because it skips some pivots
- pivot filter is not applied to/not affected by the unconfirmed pivots
- zigzag is affected by pivot filter, but not by the unconfirmed pivots. You can't have both high/low on the same bar in a zigzag. High has priority over Low.
- keep same bar pivots option lets you choose which pivots to keep when there are both high/low pivots on the same bar (both kept by default)
SCP/SFP Filters:
- you can confirm/filter only SCP/SFP signals with volume % change/candle size larger than delta. Higher volume/larger candle means stronger signal.
- technically SCP/SFP is always the first matching candle, but it can be invalidated by the following signal in the opposite dir which in turn can be negated by the next signal.
- show first matching SCP/SFP = true - shows only the first signal candle (and any invalidations that follow) and hides further duplicate signals in the same dir, does not highlight the trend.
- show first matching SCP/SFP = false - produces a sequence of candles with duplicate signals, highlights the whole trend until its dir changes (new pivot).
Good Luck! Feel free to learn from/reuse the code to build your own indicators!
Scalping Swing Trading Tool R1-4 by JustUncleLDescription:
This study project is a "Scalping Swing trading Tool" and is an alternative to the "Scalping Pullback Tool R1". It is designed for a two pane TradingView chart layout :
the first pane set to 15min Time Frame;
the second pane set to 1min Time Frame(TF).
The tools incorporates the majority of the indicators needed to analyse and scalp Trends for Swings, PullBacks and reversals on 15min charts and 1min charts.
Incorporated within this tool are the following indicators:
1. The following EMAs are drawn automatically:
Green = EMA89 (15min TF) = EMA75 (1min TF)
Blue = EMA200 (15min TF) = EMA180 (1min TF)
Black = EMA633 (15min TF) = EMA540 (1min TF)
2. The 10EMA (default) High/Low+Close Price Action Channel (PAC), the PAC channel
display is disabled by default.
3. Optionally display Fractals and optional Fractal levels
4. Optional HH, LH, LL, HL finder.
5. Coloured coded Bar high lighting based on the PAC:
blue = bar closed above PAC
red = bar closed below PAC
gray = bar closed inside PAC
lime Line = EMA10 of bar close
6. Pivot points (disables Fractals automatically when selected) with optional labels.
7. EMA5-12 Channel is displayed by default.
8. EMA12-36 Ribbon is displayed by default
9. Optionally display EMA36 and PAC instead of EMA12-36 Ribbon.
Set up and hints:
I am unable to provide a full description here, as Pullback Trading incorporates a full trading Methodology, there are a number of articles and books written on the subject.
Set to two pane TradingView chart, set first pane to 15Min and second to 1min.
Set the chart to Heikin Ashi Candles (optional).
I also add a "Sweetspot Gold2" indicator to the chart as well to help with support and resistance finding and shows where the important "00" lines are.
Use the EMA200 on the 15min pane as the anchor. So when prices above EMA200 we only trade long (buy) and when prices below the EMA200 we only trade short (sell).
On the 15min chart draw any obvious Vertical Trend Lines (VTL), use Pivots point as a guide.
On the 15min chart what we’re looking for price to Pullback into the EMA5-12 Channel or EMA12-36 ribbon, we draw Trendlines uitilising the Pivot points or Fractals to guide your TL drawing.
On the 15min chart look for the trend to resume and break through the drawn TL. The bar color needs to change back to the trend direction colour to confirm as a break.
Now this break can be traded as a 15min trade or now look to the 1min chart.
On the 1min chart draw any Pullback into any of the EMAs.
On the 1min chart look for the trend to resume and break through the drawn TL. The bar color needs to change back to the trend direction colour to confirm as a break.
Now this break can be traded as a 1min trade.
There is also an option to select Pristine (ie Ideal) filtered Fractals, which look like tents or V shape 5-candle patterns. These are actually used to calculate the Pivot points as well.
Other than the "SweetSpot Gold2" indicator, you should not need any other indicator to successfully trade trends for Pullbacks and reversals. If you really want another indicator use the AO (Awesome Oscillator) as it is momentum based.
Structure Pilot Vision [Wang Indicators]Built and refined with Dave Teaches, the HTF Vision Pro supercharges the trader, providing them with the tools to approach price with a layered analysis.
Providing the trader the instruments to put on the spotlight significant zones to anticipate price deliveries
HTF CANDLE VISION
Displays up to 3 series of HTF Candles
Shows candlesticks from a higher time frame (e.g., daily, 4-hour, weekly) on a lower time frame chart (e.g., 1-hour, 15-minute). This allows traders to simultaneously observe both short-term and long-term market dynamics.
Customizable Time Frames: Users can select any higher time frame to overlay on the current chart. Common time frames include daily, weekly, and monthly candles, but other custom time frames can also be used.
Color Coding: The HTF candles are color-coded for easy differentiation from the lower time frame candles. Users can customize colors to suit their preferences.
Open, High, Low, Close (OHLC) Representation: The indicator displays the full candlestick pattern for the chosen HTF, including the open, high, low, and close values. This helps traders easily identify key price levels and trends.
Settings :
Number of candles
Space between the chart and the HTF candles
Space between candles sets
Size : from Tiny (2x regular candle size) to Large (x8 regular candle size)
Space between candles
Colors of candles, borders and wicks
Incorporating a Higher Time Frame (HTF) candle into your Lower Time Frame (LTF) chart can be immensely beneficial for traders looking to enhance their analysis and decision-making process.
Use Cases for HTF Candles on LTF Charts:
Trend Confirmation:
Use Case: A trader might be looking at a 15-minute chart (LTF) but wants to confirm if the short-term trends align with the daily trend (HTF). Plotting a daily candle on the 15-minute chart helps visualize whether the short-term movements are part of a broader, longer-term trend.
Support and Resistance Identification:
Use Case: By plotting a weekly candle on a daily chart, traders can quickly identify levels that have acted as significant support or resistance in the past on the higher time frame, which might not be as visible or influential on the daily chart alone.
Entry and Exit Points Enhancement:
Use Case: When preparing to enter a trade based on a 1-hour chart, overlaying a 4-hour candle can provide insights into potential reversal points or continuation patterns that are more significant on the higher time frame, thus refining entry and exit strategies.
Volatility and Breakout Analysis:
Use Case: Seeing how a single HTF candle (like a monthly candle on a weekly chart) closes can give traders an idea of the market's volatility or the strength behind breakouts. A long wick on the HTF candle might suggest a rejected breakout or a potential reversal.
Risk Management:
Use Case: Using an HTF candle can help set more informed stop-loss levels. For instance, if a trader uses a 4-hour candle on a 1-hour chart, they might place their stop-loss just beyond the low of the HTF candle, assuming this represents a significant level of support or resistance.
Contextual Trading Decisions:
Use Case: For scalpers or day traders, understanding where the current price action sits within the context of a higher timeframe can lead to better decision-making. For instance, trading within an HTF consolidation range might suggest less aggressive moves, while being near the top or bottom of such a range might indicate potential for larger movements.
Market Sentiment Analysis:
Use Case: The color (red for bearish, green for bullish) and size of the HTF candle can give a quick visual cue of the market sentiment over that period, helping traders assess whether they are going with or against the broader market flow.
Swing Trading:
Use Case: Swing traders might plot a weekly candle on a daily chart to align their trades with the direction of the weekly trend, ensuring they're not fighting the broader market momentum.
Educational and Visual Reference:
Use Case: For educational purposes, having an HTF candle overlay can serve as a visual reminder for students or new traders about how price movements on different time frames can influence each other, aiding in teaching concepts like "the trend is your friend."
Wang use cases :
The way it is intended to be used is as follow
If you trade the 1 min chart and have a set of 5 min HTF candles plotted on your charts it could be used as follow :
As long as the 5 min keep providing close below the last 5 min candle if you're short you're safe ... if the 5 min candle stop closing below the last ones and start giving up-close you should consider closing your trade
Another use of HTF Candle is to find fractals responsible (up or down internal mouv before the breakout that creates a new zone). This fractal acts as supply and demand zone responsible for maintening the trend or for a reversal.
See examples below :
These fractals are interesting zones because they often cause the price to react, so following a flip in the fractal, you can take a short in bearish zones and a long in bullish zones. Fractals are easier to detect thanks to the HTF candles function, and allow you to enter positions with greater confidence. They can be used in the same way as the 70%, 50% and 30% interest zones, or they can be used simultaneously.
Use with zones :
▫️ VERTICAL BARS VISION ▫️
The vertical bars provide a view of market fractality: on a low time frame chart, they show the size of a candle in a higher time frame, and thus give a better understanding of the price fractality essential to the strategy we use.
Example :
For your information, when you modify data in the vertical bars or HTF candles parameters, the two are synchronized automatically.
The Vertical HTF Candle Closures Indicator is a simple yet effective tool that helps traders visually track the closing times of higher time frame (HTF) candles (such as 4H, 1H, 15M) on a lower time frame chart (e.g., 1-minute).
This feature plots vertical lines on the chart at the exact closure time of each selected HTF, allowing traders to quickly recognize key moments when the HTF candles close, or better yet when we trade above / below the last one and reverse ''sweepy sweepy'' .
Its more like a vertical and more micro visualisation than the HTF Candles.
Wang usage :
its a great tool to be able to reverse engineer what's in a HTFcandle precisely its a good combination with HTF candle projections to train the eyes of the traders about Whats is inside a candle that formed on the higher time frame
Limitation & know issues :
The chart may become cluttered with too many lines if multiple time frames are selected. Adjusting the line style or disabling certain time frames can help reduce visual noise.
On low time frame (<30s), some bar may notshow exactly on time (e.g : in 10sec timeframe, the 15min bar can be displayed at 01:15:10 instead of 01:15:00).
Because of the data provider and the interpreter of Trading View, if there is not data for a candle, Trading view just "skip" the candle. Sometime, those skip are on the candle that goes to 15min, 1 hour or 4 hour. As this is a Trading View issue. There is pretty much nothing we can do.
Some users may experience vertical bars at 1am, 5am, 9am ... instead of 0am, 4am, 8am ... That is because of the difference between the Timezone set on the chart and the timezone of the market they trade. Vertical bar will always refer to the symbol displayed
Buy / Sell Fractal Algorithm with SL Line GenerationThis algorithm is designed for usage across indices.
How it works?
The algorithm uses a variation of fractals, momentum, RSI and LRSI to determine a trends direction.
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is a momentum-based oscillator used to measure the speed (velocity) and change (magnitude) of directional price movements. It provides a visual means to monitor both the current and historical strength and weakness of a particular market. The strength or weakness is based on closing prices over the duration of a specified trading period, creating a reliable metric of price and momentum changes
Momentum in trading refers to the direction and magnitude of price. Momentum plays a key role in assessing trend strength, and it is important to know when a trend is slowing down. Less momentum does not always lead to a reversal, but it does signal that something is changing, and the trend may consolidate or reverse
Fractals are patterns within price changes which are repeated across thousands of bars. Examples of fractals include the golden ratio, PHI and the spirals of the milk way. They are quite literally a universal concept.
Basics of usage:
When a bullish trend is detected; the algorithm will generate a green "SL Line" at a calculated point, which can be interpreted as an invalidation line.
If the price goes below this line, the bullish trend is invalidated. So long as it holds, the bullish trend is true until the next detection change.
When a bearish trend is detected; the algorithm will generate a red "SL Line", at a calculated point, which can be interpreted as an invalidation line.
If the prices goes above this line, the bearish trend is invalidated. So long as it holds, the bearish trend is true until the next detection change.
When a given trend is invalidated, the SL Line turns yellow and you enter a "pause zone", where neither a bearish nor bullish trend is calculated.
This resets itself on the next trend detection.
Additional information:
I have coded my own backtest to this algorithm, along with plotting the profit / loss of each generated trade.
The profit is calculated by the difference between the open bar of the trade after a long ( or short ) and the following trade.
If we are calculating a short, the resulting value is then multiplied by -1 to get a positive integer.
For calculating a loss we take the value of the open bar of the trade that generates a long, and take the difference between this and the SL line, and similarly for short positions. The code assumes the user is placing their SL at the indicated line.
Within the input settings there are a few customisation options:
Alpha & Fractal Energy Length & Source - Should not be changed.
Highly bands crossover? - Has no visible effect whether on or off. It refers to the fractal chart which in this iteration is not visible and rather a backend mechanic.
Apply fractal energy? - Should generally be left turned on. This is a noise reduction. Disabling will result in over-trading.
Apply normalization? - Has no impact, is solely used to make the fractal values more human-readable rather than decimal format.
Offset - refers to the offset value of the SL Line generations. This should be set to a value that gives you enough breathing room, and remember to include any spreads! Default is 0.2, written in %
Trading hours - This simply gives a session input for the trading hours you want to trade within, and then colours the background green for that session. Trading 24/7 is never a wise strategy, stick to whatever is most optimal for you.
Leverage - Whatever leverage you are using. Default is x20. This will affect the profit / loss calculations accordingly.
Start equity - refers to the equity value you want to backtest with. Some assets will generate NA for this in the backtest label explained later.
Label customisation options.
Note that the backtest label is by default hidden, and appears when you hover over the black label at the current bar. When enabled to visible, it will show a large text label that may cover your chart screen more than you wish.
Alerts -
There are dozens of alert functionalities here; first are the timeframe assignments for each alert, set by default to 2hrs.
These timeframes then affect the asset you select in the corresponding setting.
In total there are 8 additional assets you can set alerts for.
Once you have assigned the timeframe and asset for an alert, you can then check the tick box for that individual alert.
Once done, you set the alert as normal through the tradingview alerts window. Remember to set "alert function calls only"
-
Timers:
I have added some functionality for timers to be set, values are in minutes. These work on the exact time of placement. Do not change the extra symbol formula option.
-
Note that this backtest is not intended as a replacement for tradingview backtest, nor is there a guarantee that historical results are to be replicated in the future. Trading is inherently risky.
[Daveatt] BEST ABCD Pattern Strategy (Trailing SL + TP)Hello traders
This is the strategy version of my ABCD pattern. I added the Trailing Stop and Trailing Profit upon a follower request
I - Concept
I present to you, ladies and gentlemen, the first screener for harmonic patterns .
Starting with an ACBD pattern screener this time!!
I used the calculations from Ricardo Santo's script
In short, he's using fractals (regular or Bill Williams ) for the pattern calculations. A masterpiece !!!
II - Definitions
The ABCD pattern ( AB=CD ) is one of the classic chart patterns which is repeated over and over again.
The ABCD pattern shows perfect harmony between price and time.
The Williams Fractal is an indicator, developed by Bill Williams , that aims to detect reversal points (highs and lows) and marks them with arrows.
Up fractals and down fractals have specific shapes. The Williams Fractal indicator helps users determine in which direction price will develop
💎Strategy filters💎
I included some cool backtest filters:
- Trailing stop with trigger concept coming from this Trailing Stop Strategy
- Trailing profit with trigger coming from this Trailing Profit Strategy
Last words
It works for all asset classes (Forex, crypto, indices, etc...) and does not repaint
All the BEST
Dave
Williams Fractal Trailing StopsUnlike the built-in version, you can configure how many bars it takes to confirm a fractal. This indicator plots all Williams high and low fractals, and a stop line that trails the fractals up and down. Includes long and short stop alerts. You can choose whether the trail flips long-short based on the price being exceeded within a candle or on candle close. This indicator deals only with fractals and doesn't get into the Alligator or anything else.
I've commented it extensively, so that it might be useful for people learning Pinescript. Enjoy!
Multiple Time Frame Williams Alligator H1M5fractalist scalpers, chaos theorists and traders trading on 5 minute charts in the financial markets are often swamped by too many fractals; switching between charts back and forth can be a headache too; so here's an indicator script coded by yours truly to make our lives easier.
how it works?
apply MTFWA on a 5 minute chart; synchronise it with your 1 hour chart; draw the standard horizontal lines to mark fractals on your 1 hour chart...there you go; better fractals filtered to analyse your 5 minute chart; scalp your hearts out.
Fractal and Alligator Alerts by JustUncleLThis is based on two well known Bill Williams Fractal and Alligator strategies.
The following code is an implementation is similar to reversal strategy specified here:
forexwot.com
and another well know Alligator break out strategy.
This was achieved by combining some of the ideas from two other indicators:
True Williams Alligator (SMMA) by the_batman
Fractals and Levels by JustUncleL
There are two types of Fractal + Alligator Strategies included in this indicator:
Fractal Reversal : In an uptrend defined by Low Fractal that is above the Alligator teeth and the Alligator mouth is completed open in an uptrend. The opposite for downtrends. (Green and Red Arrows)
Fractal BreakOut : In an uptrend, at the start of Alligator open we look back for the first Fractal High above Alligator Teeth. Alligator teeth must be above mouth. (Aqua and Fuchsia arrows)
Pullback Trading Tool R5-65 by JustUncleLBy request this is an updated version of the "PullBack Trading Tool": removes experimental "OCC" channel, added option to display ribbons or just single moving average lines, added alert arrows for "PB" exits, added alertcondition for TV alarm subsystem, added some extract options for Pivot points and general cleanup of code.
Description:
This project incorporates the majority of the indicators needed to analyse and trade Trends for Pullbacks, swings and reversals.
Incorporated within this tool are the following indicators:
1. Major industry (Banks) recognised important EMAs in an EMA Ribbon:
Lime = EMA5 (Optional Display)
DodgerBlue = EMA12 (Optional Display)
Red = EMA36 (Optional display)
Green = EMA89
Blue = EMA200
Black = EMA633
2. The 5 EMA (default) High/Low/Close Price Action Channel (PAC), the PAC channel display is disabled by default.
3. Optionally display Fractals and optional Fractal levels
4. Optional HH, LH, LL, HL finder.
5. Optional Buy/Sell "PB" exit Alerts with Optional 200EMA filter.
6. Coloured coded Bar high lighting based on the PAC:
blue = bar closed above PAC
red = bar closed below PAC
gray = bar closed inside PAC
7. Alert condition sent to TradingView's Alarm subsystem for PB exits.
8. Pivot points with optional labels.
9. EMA5-12 Ribbon is displayed by default.
10.EMA12-36 Ribbon is displayed by default
Set up and hints:
I am unable to provide a full description here, as Pullback Trading incorporates a full trading Methodology, there are a number of articles and books written on the subject.
Set the chart to Heikin Ashi Candles (optional).
I also add a "Sweetspot Gold R3" indicator to the chart as well to help with support and resistance finding and shows where the important "00" lines are.
First on a weekly basis say Sunday night or Monday morning, analyse the Daily and Weekly charts to establish overall trends, and support/resistant levels. Draw significant mini trend lines (2/3 TL), vertical trend lines (VTL) and S/R levels. Can use the Pivots points to guide VTL drawing and Fractals to help guide 2/3 TL drawing.
Once the trend direction and any potential major reversals highlighted, drop down to lower timeframe chart and draw appropriate mini Trend line (2/3 TL) matching the established momentum direction. Take note of potential pull backs from and of the EMAs, in particular the EMA5-12 ribbon, EMA12-36 Ribbon and the 200EMA. Can use the Pivots and/or Fractals points to guide your 2/3 TL drawing.
Set a TradingView alarm on the "PBTOOL alert", with the default settings this normally occurs before or during the Break of the manually drawn TL lines.
Once alerted check to see if the TL is broken and is returning to trend away from the EMA lines, this is indicated by bar colour change to trend directional colour.
You can trade that alert or drop down to even lower time frames and perform the same TL analysis there to find trades at the lower TF. Trading at lower TF you will allow tighter Stop loss settings.
Other than the "SweetSpot Gold R3" indicator, you should not need any other indicator to successfully trade trends for Pullbacks and reversals. If you really want another indicator I suggest a momentum one for example: AO ( Awesome Oscillator ), MACD or Squeeze Momentum.
Scalping PullBack Tool R1 by JustUncleLDescription
This study project is a Scalping Pullback trading Tool that incorporates the majority of the indicators needed to analyse and scalp Trends for Pull Backs and reversals on 1min, 5min or 15min charts. The set up utilies Heikin Ashi candle charts. Incorporated within this tool are the following indicators:
1. Major industry (Banks) recognised important EMAs in an EMA Ribbon:
Green = EMA89
Blue = EMA200
Black = EMA633
2. The 36EMA (default) High/Low+Close Price Action Channel (PAC).
3. Fractals
4. HH, LH, LL, HL finder to help with drawing Trend lines and mini Trend Lines.
5. Coloured coded Bar high lighting based on the PAC:
blue = bar closed above PAC
red = bar closed below PAC
gray = bar closed inside PAC
red line = EMA36 of bar close
Setup and hints:
Set the chart to Heikin Ashi Candles.
Add "Sweetspot Gold10" indicator to the chart as well to help with support and resistance finding and shows where the important "00" and "0" lines are.
When price is above the PAC(blue bars) we are only looking to buy as price comes back to the PAC
When price is below the PAC(red bars), we are only looking to sell when price comes back to the PAC
What we’re looking for when price comes back into the PAC we draw mini Trendlines utilising the Fractals and HH/LL points to guide your TL drawing.
Now look for the trend to pull back and break the drawn TL. That's is when we place the scalp trade.
So we are looking for continuation signals in terms of a strong, momentum driven pullbacks (normally short term 10-20 pips) of the EMA36.
The other EMAs are there to check for other Pullbacks when EMA36 is broken.
Other than the SweetSpot Gold10 indicator, you should not need any other indicator to scalp the pullbacks.

Fractal Breakout Strategy (by ChartArt)This long only strategy determines the price of the last fractal top and enters a trade when the price breaks above the last fractal top. The strategy also calculates the average price of the last fractal tops to get the trend direction. The strategy exits the long trade, when the average of the fractal tops is falling (when the trend is lower highs as measured by fractals). And the user can manually set a time delay of this exit condition. The default setting is a long strategy exit always 3 bars after the long entry condition appeared.
In addition as gimmicks the fractals tops can be highlighted (the default is blue) and a line can be drawn based on the fractal tops.This fractal top line is colored by the fractal top average trend in combination with the fractal breakout condition.
This strategy works better on higher time-frames (weekly and monthly), but it also works on the daily and some other time-frames. This strategy does not repaint, no repainting.
P.S. I thank Tradingview user barracuda who helped me with the time based exit condition code. And user RicardoSantos for coding the definition of the fractal top, which he uses in his " Fractals" scripts.
All trading involves high risk; past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results. Hypothetical or simulated performance results have certain inherent limitations. Unlike an actual performance record, simulated results do not represent actual trading. Also, since the trades have not actually been executed, the results may have under- or over-compensated for the impact, if any, of certain market factors, such as lack of liquidity. Simulated trading programs in general are also subject to the fact that they are designed with the benefit of hindsight.

Pivot Candle PatternsPivot Candle Patterns Indicator
Overview
The PivotCandlePatterns indicator is a sophisticated trading tool that identifies high-probability candlestick patterns at market pivot points. By combining Williams fractals pivot detection with advanced candlestick pattern recognition, this indicator targets the specific patterns that statistically show the highest likelihood of signaling reversals at market tops and bottoms.
Scientific Foundation
The indicator is built on extensive statistical analysis of historical price data using a 42-period Williams fractal lookback period. Our research analyzed which candlestick patterns most frequently appear at genuine market reversal points, quantifying their occurrence rates and subsequent success in predicting reversals.
Key Research Findings:
At Market Tops (Pivot Highs):
- Three White Soldiers: 28.3% occurrence rate
- Spinning Tops: 13.9% occurrence rate
- Inverted Hammers: 11.7% occurrence rate
At Market Bottoms (Pivot Lows):
- Three Black Crows: 28.4% occurrence rate
- Hammers: 13.3% occurrence rate
- Spinning Tops: 13.1% occurrence rate
How It Works
1. Pivot Point Detection
The indicator uses a non-repainting implementation of Williams fractals to identify potential market turning points:
- A pivot high is confirmed when the middle candle's high is higher than surrounding candles within the lookback period
- A pivot low is confirmed when the middle candle's low is lower than surrounding candles within the lookback period
- The default lookback period is 2 candles (user adjustable from 1-10)
2. Candlestick Pattern Recognition
At identified pivot points, the indicator analyzes candle properties using these parameters:
- Body percentage threshold for Spinning Tops: 40% (adjustable from 10-60%)
- Shadow percentage threshold for Hammer patterns: 60% (adjustable from 40-80%)
- Maximum upper shadow for Hammer: 10% (adjustable from 5-20%)
- Maximum lower shadow for Inverted Hammer: 10% (adjustable from 5-20%)
3. Pattern Definitions
The indicator recognizes these specific patterns:
Single-Candle Patterns:
- Spinning Top : Small body (< 40% of total range) with significant upper and lower shadows (> 25% each)
- Hammer : Small body (< 40%), very long lower shadow (> 60%), minimal upper shadow (< 10%), closing price above opening price
- Inverted Hammer : Small body (< 40%), very long upper shadow (> 60%), minimal lower shadow (< 10%)
Multi-Candle Patterns:
- Three White Soldiers : Three consecutive bullish candles, each closing higher than the previous, with each open within the previous candle's body
- Three Black Crows : Three consecutive bearish candles, each closing lower than the previous, with each open within the previous candle's body
4. Visual Representation
The indicator provides multiple visualization options:
- Highlighted candle backgrounds for pattern identification
- Text or dot labels showing pattern names and success rates
- Customizable colors for different pattern types
- Real-time alert functionality on pattern detection
- Information dashboard displaying pattern statistics
Why It Works
1. Statistical Edge
Unlike traditional candlestick pattern indicators that simply identify patterns regardless of context, PivotCandlePatterns focuses exclusively on patterns occurring at statistical pivot points, dramatically increasing signal quality.
2. Non-Repainting Design
The pivot detection algorithm only uses confirmed data, ensuring the indicator doesn't repaint or provide false signals that disappear on subsequent candles.
3. Complementary Pattern Selection
The selected patterns have both:
- Statistical significance (high frequency at pivots)
- Logical market psychology (reflecting institutional supply/demand changes)
For example, Three White Soldiers at a pivot high suggests excessive bullish sentiment reaching exhaustion, while Hammers at pivot lows indicate rejection of lower prices and potential buying pressure.
Practical Applications
1. Reversal Trading
The primary use is identifying potential market reversals with statistical probability metrics. Higher percentage patterns (like Three White Soldiers at 28.3%) warrant more attention than lower probability patterns.
2. Confirmation Tool
The indicator works well when combined with other technical analysis methods:
- Support/resistance levels
- Trend line breaks
- Divergences on oscillators
- Volume analysis
3. Risk Management
The built-in success rate metrics help traders properly size positions based on historical pattern reliability. The displayed percentages reflect the probability of the pattern successfully predicting a reversal.
Optimized Settings
Based on extensive testing, the default parameters (Body: 40%, Shadow: 60%, Shadow Maximums: 10%, Lookback: 2) provide the optimal balance between:
- Signal frequency
- False positive reduction
- Early entry opportunities
- Pattern clarity
Users can adjust these parameters based on their timeframe and trading style, but the defaults represent the statistically optimal configuration.
Complementary Research: Reclaim Analysis
Additional research on "reclaim" scenarios (where price briefly breaks a level before returning) showed:
- Fast reclaims (1-2 candles) have 70-90% success rates
- Reclaims with increasing volume have 53.1% success rate vs. decreasing volume at 22.6%
This complementary research reinforces the importance of candle patterns and timing at critical market levels.
Intrinsic Event (Multi DC OS)Overview
This indicator implements an event-based approach to analyze price movements in the foreign exchange market, inspired by the intrinsic time framework introduced in Fractals and Intrinsic Time - A Challenge to Econometricians by U. A. Müller et al. (1995). It identifies significant price events using an intrinsic time perspective and supports multi-agent analysis to reflect the heterogeneous nature of financial markets. The script plots these events as lines and labels on the chart, offering a visual tool for traders to understand market dynamics at different scales.
Key Features
Intrinsic Events : The indicator detects directional change (DC) and overshoot (OS) events based on user-defined thresholds (delta), aligning with the paper’s concept of intrinsic time (Section 6). Intrinsic time redefines time based on market activity, expanding during volatile periods and contracting during inactive ones, rather than relying on a physical clock.
Multi-Agent Analysis : Supports up to five agents, each with its own threshold and color settings, reflecting the heterogeneous market hypothesis (Section 5). This allows the indicator to capture the perspectives of market participants with different time horizons, such as short-term FX dealers and long-term central banks.
How It Works
Intrinsic Events Detection : The script identifies two types of events using intrinsic time principles:
Directional Change (DC) : Triggered when the price reverses by the threshold (delta) against the current trend (e.g., a drop by delta in an uptrend signals a "Down DC").
Overshoot (OS) : Occurs when the price continues in the trend direction by the threshold (e.g., a rise by delta in an uptrend signals an "Up OS").
DC events are plotted as solid lines, and OS events as dashed lines, with labels like "Up DC" or "OS Down" for clarity. The label style adjusts based on the trend to ensure visibility.
Multi-Agent Setup : Each agent operates independently with its own threshold, mimicking market participants with varying time horizons (Section 5). Smaller thresholds detect frequent, short-term events, while larger thresholds capture broader, long-term movements.
Settings
Each agent can be configured with:
Enable Agent : Toggle the agent on or off.
Threshold (%) : The percentage threshold (delta) for detecting DC and OS events (default values: 0.1%, 0.2%, 0.5%, 1%, 2% for agents 1–5).
Up Mode Color : Color for lines and labels in up mode (DC events).
Down Mode Color : Color for lines and labels in down mode (OS events).
Usage Notes
This indicator is designed for the foreign exchange market, leveraging its high liquidity, as noted in the paper (Section 1). Adjust the threshold values based on the instrument’s volatility—higher volatility leads to more intrinsic events (Section 4). It can be adapted to other markets where event-based analysis applies.
Reference
The methodology is based on:
Fractals and Intrinsic Time - A Challenge to Econometricians by U. A. Müller, M. M. Dacorogna, R. D. Davé, O. V. Pictet, R. B. Olsen, and J. R. Ward (June 28, 1995). Olsen & Associates Preprint.
HTF LQ SweepThe following script recognises QL sweeps in the desired time frame with alarm function!
Theory:
There is liquidity above highs and below lows. If this is tapped and the market reacts strongly immediately, the probability of a reversal is greatly increased! In the chart, this is defined in such a way that a candle has its wicks BELOW the old low, but the close is ABOVE the old low. the same applies to the high, of course!
In such a case we have an "LQ Sweep"
How does the script work?
Williams 3 fractals are used as a basis. These are meaningful as lows or highs. Whenever a fractal is created, the price level is saved.
This means that not only the last fractal is relevant, but all historical fractals as long as they have not been reached!
If a candle reaches the level, but shows a rejection and closes within the level again, we have our "LQ Sweep" setup.
In the script you can select the timeframe in which the market has to be analysed. When the QL sweep occurs, an alert is triggered. This saves a lot of time because you can analyse different markets in different timeframes at the same time!
Each QL Sweep is marked in the chart when we are in the selected timeframe. These can also be deactivated so that only the last sweep is displayed.
Benefits for the trader:
An LQ sweep is a nice confirmation for a reversal.
If we have such an LQ sweep, we can wait in the lower timeframe for further confirmation, such as a structural break, to position our entries there.
The alarm function saves us a lot of time and we only go to the chart when a potential setup has been created.
You can set different time frames in the script: The selected time frame is then scanned and sends a signal when the event occurs.
Butterfly Harmonic Pattern [TradingFinder] Harmonic Detector🔵 Introduction
The Butterfly Harmonic Pattern is a sophisticated and highly regarded tool in technical analysis, utilized by traders to identify potential reversal points in the financial markets. This pattern is distinguished by its reliance on Fibonacci ratios and geometric configurations, which aid in predicting price movements with remarkable precision.
The origin of the Butterfly Harmonic Pattern can be traced back to the pioneering work of Bryce Gilmore, who is credited with discovering this pattern. Gilmore's extensive research and expertise in Fibonacci ratios laid the groundwork for the identification and application of this pattern in technical analysis.
The Butterfly pattern, like other harmonic patterns, is based on the principle that market movements are not random but follow specific structures and ratios.
The pattern is characterized by a distinct "M" shape in bullish scenarios and a "W" shape in bearish scenarios, each indicating a potential reversal point. These formations are identified by specific Fibonacci retracement and extension levels, making the Butterfly pattern a powerful tool for traders seeking to capitalize on market turning points.
The precise nature of the Butterfly pattern allows for the accurate prediction of target prices and the establishment of strategic entry and exit points, making it an indispensable component of a trader's analytical arsenal.
Bullish :
Bearish :
🔵 How to Use
Like other harmonic patterns, the Butterfly pattern is categorized based on how it forms at the end of an uptrend or downtrend. Unlike the Gartley and Bat patterns, the Butterfly pattern, similar to the Crab pattern, forms outside the wave 3 range at the end of a rally.
🟣 Types of Butterfly Harmonic Patterns
🟣 Bullish Butterfly Pattern
This pattern forms at the end of a downtrend and leads to a trend reversal from a downtrend to an uptrend.
🟣 Bearish Butterfly Pattern
In contrast to the Bullish Butterfly pattern, this pattern forms at the end of an uptrend and warns analysts of a trend reversal to a downtrend. In this case, traders are encouraged to shift their trading stance from buy trades to sell trades.
Advantages and Limitations of the Butterfly Pattern in Technical Analysis :
The Butterfly pattern is considered one of the precise and stable tools in financial market analysis. However, it is always important to pay special attention to the advantages and limitations of each pattern.
Here, we review the advantages and disadvantages of using the Butterfly harmonic pattern :
The main advantage of the Butterfly pattern is providing very accurate signals.
Using Fibonacci golden ratios and geometric rules, the Butterfly pattern identifies patterns accurately and systematically. (This high accuracy significantly helps investors in making trading decisions.)
Identifying this pattern requires expertise and experience in technical analysis.
Recognizing the Butterfly pattern might be complex for beginner traders. (Correct identification of the pattern necessitates mastery over geometric principles and Fibonacci ratios.)
The Butterfly harmonic pattern might issue false trading signals. (Traders usually combine the Butterfly pattern with other technical tools to confirm buy and sell signals.)
🔵 Setting
🟣 Logical Setting
ZigZag Pivot Period : You can adjust the period so that the harmonic patterns are adjusted according to the pivot period you want. This factor is the most important parameter in pattern recognition.
Show Valid Forma t: If this parameter is on "On" mode, only patterns will be displayed that they have exact format and no noise can be seen in them. If "Off" is, the patterns displayed that maybe are noisy and do not exactly correspond to the original pattern.
Show Formation Last Pivot Confirm : if Turned on, you can see this ability of patterns when their last pivot is formed. If this feature is off, it will see the patterns as soon as they are formed. The advantage of this option being clear is less formation of fielded patterns, and it is accompanied by the latest pattern seeing and a sharp reduction in reward to risk.
Period of Formation Last Pivot : Using this parameter you can determine that the last pivot is based on Pivot period.
🟣 Genaral Setting
Show : Enter "On" to display the template and "Off" to not display the template.
Color : Enter the desired color to draw the pattern in this parameter.
LineWidth : You can enter the number 1 or numbers higher than one to adjust the thickness of the drawing lines. This number must be an integer and increases with increasing thickness.
LabelSize : You can adjust the size of the labels by using the "size.auto", "size.tiny", "size.smal", "size.normal", "size.large" or "size.huge" entries.
🟣 Alert Setting
Alert : On / Off
Message Frequency : This string parameter defines the announcement frequency. Choices include: "All" (activates the alert every time the function is called), "Once Per Bar" (activates the alert only on the first call within the bar), and "Once Per Bar Close" (the alert is activated only by a call at the last script execution of the real-time bar upon closing). The default setting is "Once per Bar".
Show Alert Time by Time Zone : The date, hour, and minute you receive in alert messages can be based on any time zone you choose. For example, if you want New York time, you should enter "UTC-4". This input is set to the time zone "UTC" by default.
