Pipe Bottoms Indicator Based on Thomas Bulkowski's TheoriesPipe bottom is a great indicator of short-term bullish reversal trading. Pipe bottoms appear as 2 "spikes" on the chart after a 2 weeks price drop downtrend, which look like 2 parallel lines on the chart. Based on Bulkowski and the definition on his Patternsite, those 2 "spikes" candles can be any shape, whether doji or any other kinds, thus, wicks length or candle bodies are NOT required in this type of trends. However, a wide price range for these 2 spikes compared to other candles that appeared in 2 weeks is required, so I made sure these 2 pipe bottoms have true ranges (candle length) bigger than the average true ranges in the past 10 trading days (14 calendar days).
Then, a large price overlap must be between these 2 pipe bottoms, so I made sure that the high of either candle of the 2 pipe bottoms must be bigger than 40% of the true range added from the low of another candle, which in short, means that the high of the lower candle will at least be around the middle of the higher candle, and that will ensure price overlap. You can make this 50%, 60% or even 70% of the true range to ensure even greater price overlap, but you will find out that the signal amounts will decrease quite a lot after adjusting.
Bulkowski also suggested 1% variation of the bottom price (low) of those 2 candles, I put it 5% (0.05) personally to get more signals since I do not solely rely on this indicator, and I want more pipe bottoms to show up on my chart for screening purposes. So, feel free to adjust that number for the identification of this pattern.
Finally, the way I ensure it has been a downtrend or price drop is by checking if the price today is below the average of the last 10 trading days (14 calendar days), the price of the pipe bottoms must be below the moving averages of the past 10 trading days. I use hl2 here, feel free to change it to close or open as fit your strategy. Also, you can do this by making sure the candle close prices are decreasing in the past 10 trading days, or any other ways to ensure it's been in a downtrend, but for me, this works fine since again, this is just one of the many patterns I use, so I want more indicators to show up.
So, as you can see on the chart. Whenever the pattern fits the indicator, a small white cross will show up under the candle with "Pipe" text next to it. But do NOT rush to buy yet, because in order to satisfy the pipe bottom pattern, the current close price must be higher than the high of the pipe bottom. And you will see green arrowups when a pipe bottom occurred the last candle, and the current close price is above the high of the pipe bottoms, that would be the entry point of this indicator.
Overall it's a good pattern, especially for a trading bullish reversal after a huge price drop. You can adjust many numbers as I mentioned above to fit your needs, but make sure to add this with other indicators for your strategy, using only 1 indicator or pattern along is never a wise thing, especially in trading. Thanks guys, please like and share.
Support and Resistance linesThis indicator allows you to set 5 SR lines for 8 currency pairs. The SR line variables need to be set in the pine script.
It is easy to add more currency pairs or change the number of SR lines.
The indicator works in the following time frames: 1D, 12H, 8H, 6H, 4H
In the active time frame green and red vertical lines indiate a potential reversal.
Higher time frame occurrences are indicated by e.g. 8H, 12H labels above or below the price line.
So, e.g. in the 12H window you can see D labels. And in the 8H window you can see 12H and D labels.
The indicator recognizes 4 long and 4 short patterns. These patterns are very simple. See the section "Conditions for PriceAction patterns" in the pine script.
If you desire please go ahead and change the patterns or add new ones. This is the most difficult part. If you come up with good ones please post them here.
Volume Based Price ActionThis indicator is uses volume and common candlestick patterns to suggest potential trend reversals. It is not quite meant to be used as a buy/sell signal. Instead, it should be used to evaluate market psychology based on when the buyers or sellers fully dominated the price action.
In the current version, the indicators looks for engulfing and pin-bar patterns. Optionally, it also considers rising volume as further confirmation to the signal. In future, I plan on allowing it to track more candlestick patterns.
Please let me know if you have any suggestions, concerns, or comments!
Downside Weekly ReversalBased on Thomas Bulkowski's top ranking small pattern: the Downside Weekly Reversal pattern.
Add this indicator to your weekly charts.
Blue bars represent weekly reversals and green bars following blue bars indicate an upside breakout. These are to be traded in a Bull market.
Red bars following blue bars indicate a downside breakout. These are to be traded in a Bear market.

Open Interest Z-Score [BackQuant]Open Interest Z-Score
A standardized pressure gauge for futures positioning that turns multi venue open interest into a Z score, so you can see how extreme current positioning is relative to its own history and where leverage is stretched, decompressing, or quietly re loading.
What this is
This indicator builds a single synthetic open interest series by aggregating futures OI across major derivatives venues, then standardises that aggregated OI into a rolling Z score. Instead of looking at raw OI or a simple change, you get a normalized signal that says "how many standard deviations away from normal is positioning right now", with optional smoothing, reference bands, and divergence detection against price.
You can render the Z score in several plotting modes:
Line for a clean, classic oscillator.
Colored line that encodes both sign and momentum of OI Z.
Oscillator histogram that makes impulses and compressions obvious.
The script also includes:
Aggregated open interest across Binance, Bybit, OKX, Bitget, Kraken, HTX, and Deribit, using multiple contract suffixes where applicable.
Choice of OI units, either coin based or converted to USD notional.
Standard deviation reference lines and adaptive extreme bands.
A flexible smoothing layer with multiple moving average types.
Automatic detection of regular and hidden divergences between price and OI Z.
Alerts for zero line and ±2 sigma crosses.
Aggregated open interest source
At the core is the same multi venue OI aggregation engine as in the OI RSI tool, adapted from NoveltyTrade's work and extended for this use case. The indicator:
Anchors on the current chart symbol and its base currency.
Loops over a set of exchanges, gated by user toggles:
Binance.
Bybit.
OKX.
Bitget.
Kraken.
HTX.
Deribit.
For each exchange, loops over several contract suffixes such as USDT.P, USD.P, USDC.P, USD.PM to cover the common perp and margin styles.
Requests OI candles for each exchange plus suffix pair into a small custom OI type that carries open, high, low and close of open interest.
Converts each OI stream into a common unit via the sw method:
In COIN mode, OI is normalized relative to the coin.
In USD mode, OI is scaled by price to approximate notional.
Exchange specific scaling factors are applied where needed to match contract multipliers.
Accumulates all valid OI candles into a single combined OI "candle" by summing open, high, low and close across venues.
The result is oiClose , a synthetic close for aggregated OI that represents cross venue positioning. If there is no valid OI data for the symbol after this process, the script throws a clear runtime error so you know the market is unsupported rather than quietly plotting nonsense.
How the Z score is computed
Once the aggregated OI close is available, the indicator computes a rolling Z score over a configurable lookback:
Define subject as the aggregated OI close.
Compute a rolling mean of this subject with EMA over Z Score Lookback Period .
Compute a rolling standard deviation over the same length.
Subtract the mean from the current OI and divide by the standard deviation.
This gives a raw Z score:
oi_z_raw = (subject − mean) ÷ stdDev .
Instead of plotting this raw value directly, the script passes it through a smoothing layer:
You pick a Smoothing Type and Smoothing Period .
Choices include SMA, HMA, EMA, WMA, DEMA, RMA, linear regression, ALMA, TEMA, and T3.
The helper ma function applies the chosen smoother to the raw Z score.
The result is oi_z , a smoothed Z score of aggregated open interest. A separate EMA with EMA Period is then applied on oi_z to create a signal line ma that can be used for crossovers and trend reads.
Plotting modes
The Plotting Type input controls how this Z score is rendered:
1) Line
In line mode:
The smoothed OI Z score is plotted as a single line using Base Line Color .
The EMA overlay is optionally plotted if Show EMA is enabled.
This is the cleanest view when you want to treat OI Z like a standard oscillator, watching for zero line crosses, swings, and divergences.
2) Colored Line
Colored line mode adds conditional color logic to the Z score:
If the Z score is above zero and rising, it is bright green, representing positive and strengthening positioning pressure.
If the Z score is above zero and falling, it shifts to a cooler cyan, representing positive but weakening pressure.
If the Z score is below zero and falling, it is bright red, representing negative and strengthening pressure (growing net de risking or shorting).
If the Z score is below zero and rising, it is dark red, representing negative but recovering pressure.
This mapping makes it easy to see not only whether OI is above or below its historical mean, but also whether that deviation is intensifying or fading.
3) Oscillator
Oscillator mode turns the Z score into a histogram:
The smoothed Z score is plotted as vertical columns around zero.
Column colors use the same conditional palette as colored line mode, based on sign and change direction.
The histogram base is zero, so bars extend up into positive Z and down into negative Z.
Oscillator mode is useful when you care about impulses in positioning, for example sharp jumps into positive Z that coincide with fast builds in leverage, or deep spikes into negative Z that show aggressive flushes.
4) None
If you only want reference lines, extreme bands, divergences, or alerts without the base oscillator, you can set plotting to None and keep the rest of the tooling active.
The EMA overlay respects plotting mode and only appears when a visible Z score line or histogram is present.
Reference lines and standard deviation levels
The Select Reference Lines input offers two styles:
Standard Deviation Levels
Plots small markers at zero.
Draws thin horizontal lines at +1, +2, −1 and −2 Z.
Acts like a classic Z score ladder, zero as mean, ±1 as normal band, ±2 as outer band.
This mode is ideal if you want a textbook statistical framing, using ±1 and ±2 sigma as standard levels for "normal" versus "extended" positioning.
Extreme Bands
Extreme bands build on the same ±1 and ±2 lines, then add:
Upper outer band between +3 and +4 Z.
Lower outer band between −3 and −4 Z.
Dynamic fill colors inside these bands:
If the Z score is positive, the upper band fill turns red with an alpha that scales with the magnitude of |Z|, capped at a chosen max strength. Stronger deviations towards +4 produce more opaque red fills.
If the Z score is negative, the lower band fill turns green with the same adaptive alpha logic, highlighting deep negative deviations.
Opposite side bands remain a faint neutral white when not in use, so they still provide structural context without shouting.
This creates a visual "danger zone" for position crowding. When the Z score enters these outer bands, open interest is many standard deviations away from its mean and you are dealing with rare but highly loaded positioning states.
Z score as a positioning pressure gauge
Because this is a Z score of aggregated open interest, it measures how unusual current positioning is relative to its own recent history, not just whether OI is rising or falling:
Z near zero means total OI is roughly in line with normal conditions for your lookback window.
Positive Z means OI is above its recent mean. The further above zero, the more "crowded" or extended positioning is.
Negative Z means OI is below its recent mean. Deep negatives often mark post flush environments where leverage has been cleared and the market is under positioned.
The smoothing options help control how much noise you want in the signal:
Short Z score lookback and short smoothing will react quickly, suited for short term traders watching intraday positioning shocks.
Longer Z score lookback with smoother MA types (EMA, RMA, T3) give a slower, more structural view of where the crowd sits over days to weeks.
Divergences between price and OI Z
The indicator includes automatic divergence detection on the Z score versus price, using pivot highs and lows:
You configure Pivot Lookback Left and Pivot Lookback Right to control swing sensitivity.
Pivots are detected on the OI Z series.
For each eligible pivot, the script compares OI Z and price at the last two pivots.
It looks for four patterns:
Regular Bullish – price makes a lower low, OI Z makes a higher low. This can indicate selling exhaustion in positioning even as price washes out. These are marked with a line and a label "ℝ" below the oscillator, in the bullish color.
Hidden Bullish – price makes a higher low, OI Z makes a lower low. This suggests continuation potential where price holds up while positioning resets. Marked with "ℍ" in the bullish color.
Regular Bearish – price makes a higher high, OI Z makes a lower high. This is a classic warning sign of trend exhaustion, where price pushes higher while OI Z fails to confirm. Marked with "ℝ" in the bearish color.
Hidden Bearish – price makes a lower high, OI Z makes a higher high. This is often seen in pullbacks within downtrends, where price retraces but positioning stretches again in the direction of the prevailing move. Marked with "ℍ" in the bearish color.
Each divergence type can be toggled globally via Show Detected Divergences . Internally, the script restricts how far back it will connect pivots, so you do not get stray signals linking very old structures to current bars.
Trading applications
Crowding and squeeze risk
Z scores are a natural way to talk about crowding:
High positive Z in aggregated OI means the market is running high leverage compared to its own norm. If price is also extended, the risk of a squeeze or sharp unwind rises.
Deep negative Z means leverage has been cleaned out. While it can be painful to sit through, this environment often sets up cleaner new trends, since there is less one sided positioning to unwind.
The extreme bands at ±3 to ±4 highlight the rare states where crowding is most intense. You can treat these events as regime markers rather than day to day noise.
Trend confirmation and fade selection
Combine Z score with price and trend:
Bull trends with positive and rising Z are supported by fresh leverage, usually more persistent.
Bull trends with flat or falling Z while price keeps grinding up can be more fragile. Divergences and extreme bands can help identify which edges you do not want to fade and which you might.
In downtrends, deep negative Z that stays pinned can mean persistent de risking. Once the Z score starts to mean revert back toward zero, it can mark the early stages of stabilization.
Event and liquidation context
Around major events, you often see:
Rapid spikes in Z as traders rush to position.
Reversal and overshoot as liquidations and forced de risking clear the book.
A move from positive extremes through zero into negative extremes as the market transitions from crowded to under exposed.
The Z score makes that path obvious, especially in oscillator mode, where you see a block of high positive bars before the crash, then a slab of deep negative bars after the flush.

Notes
This indicator does not rely on price based oscillators. It is a statistical lens on cross venue open interest, which makes it a complementary tool rather than a replacement for your existing price or volume signals. Use it to:
Quantify how unusual current futures positioning is compared to recent history.
Identify crowded leverage phases that can fuel squeezes.
Spot structural divergences between price and positioning.
Frame risk and opportunity around events and regime shifts.
It is not a complete trading system. Combine it with your own entries, exits and risk rules to get the most out of what the Z score is telling you about positioning pressure under the hood of the market.

---
**Perfect for**: STRAT traders, multi-timeframe analysts, reversal pattern traders, swing traders looking for high-probability setups with confluence across timeframes.
MTF VWAP + Candlestick VWAP Reactions (Bounce + Score)It’s an intraday VWAP + candlestick confluence tool that:
Draws daily, weekly, monthly, yearly VWAPs.
Detects textbook candlestick patterns, classed as BuH/BuM (bullish high/moderate) and BeH/BeM (bearish high/moderate) with colored boxes.
Triggers long/short arrows only when price bounces off a VWAP by at least 0.15% AND there’s a recent matching pattern.
Grades every signal as A / B / C with a score 1–10:
A (8–10) = high-reliability pattern (BuH/BeH) + strong 2-candle body reaction (your A+ setups).
B (5–8) = moderate pattern (BuM/BeM) + one solid bounce.
C (1–5) = weaker / mixed context (scalpy or gamble).
FVG HTF# FVG HTF — Higher‑Timeframe Fair Value Gaps
## Summary
- Plots higher‑timeframe Fair Value Gap (FVG) zones directly on your current chart.
- Tracks fill progress using four methods: Any Touch, Midpoint Reached, Wick Sweep, Body Beyond.
- Shows optional labels with timeframe source and live fill percentage; label text color is configurable.
- Designed for clean overlays and efficient rendering with limits on graphics and bars processed.
## What It Does
- Detects bullish and bearish FVGs from a chosen timeframe (or the chart timeframe) and renders:
- Zone Top/Bottom lines and a dotted midpoint line
- Semi‑transparent area fill between the edges
- Optional label at the midpoint with a tooltip showing zone prices
- Continuously updates zones forward and removes them when the selected fill condition is met.
## Inputs
- `Enable FVG` (`fvgSH2`): Toggle detection/plotting on/off.
- `Timeframe` (`fvgTF2`): Choose `Chart` or HTFs (`5 Minutes`, `15 Minutes`, `1 Hour`, `4 Hours`, `1 Day`, `1 Week`, `1 Month`).
- `Fill Method` (`fvgFill2`):
- Any Touch — wick or body touches any part of the zone
- Midpoint Reached — price reaches at least the 50% of the zone
- Wick Sweep — wick fully travels past the far edge and back inside (conceptually stricter than touch)
- Body Beyond — candle body closes beyond the opposite edge (strong confirmation)
- `Zones` colors (`fvgCb2`, `fvgCs2`): Bullish/Bearish zone colors.
- `Labels` (`fvgLB2`): Show/Hide on‑chart labels.
- `Label Color` (`fvgLBc2`): Color picker for label text (default: white).
- `Max Bars Back` (`maxBars2`): Limits processing to recent bars for performance.
## Timeframe Rules
- The helper `htfTF` prevents selecting a timeframe lower than the chart. If an invalid lower TF is chosen, it falls back to `timeframe.period`.
- Supports minute, daily, weekly, and monthly aggregations that are safe for intraday/daily/weekly charts.
## Detection Logic
- Uses rolling higher‑timeframe bars constructed on the fly and checks 3‑bar displacement patterns:
- Bullish FVG: current HTF low above the high two bars ago AND previous HTF close above that high, with no direct gap condition.
- Bearish FVG: current HTF high below the low two bars ago AND previous HTF close below that low, with no direct gap condition.
- On detection, the script creates an FVG object with:
- Top/Bottom lines (`lnTop`, `lnBtm`) and midpoint line (`lnAvg`)
- Midpoint label (`lbTxt`) showing source timeframe and updating fill percentage
- Semi‑transparent fill (`linefill`) for visual clarity
## Fill Tracking
- Fill threshold depends on selected method:
- Any Touch: opposite edge
- Midpoint Reached: zone’s midpoint
- Wick Sweep: stricter condition conceptually (implemented as an opposite‑edge threshold)
- Body Beyond: requires close beyond the opposite edge
- Each bar updates label x‑position and line endpoints forward; the label text shows the best fill ratio achieved.
- When the threshold is reached, the FVG (label, lines, fill) is removed from the chart.
## Best Practices
- Start with `Any Touch` to visualize broad repairs; switch to `Body Beyond` for conservative confirmations.
- Use `1 Hour` or `4 Hours` overlays on 5m–15m charts for context; `1 Day` on 1H charts; `1 Week` on daily charts.
- Keep labels on when monitoring fills intraday; hide labels for clean higher‑level context.
- Adjust `Max Bars Back` if performance is impacted by many zones.
## Repainting Notes
- HTF zones are computed on `timeframe.change(tf)` and therefore confirm on HTF bar closes.
- Label endpoints extend each bar; detection itself avoids lookahead bias. For strict confirmation, align entries with HTF closes.
## Limitations
- “Wick Sweep” is treated as a stricter touch to the far edge; it does not enforce a separate “return inside” bar state.
- Label text color applies uniformly to bull/bear labels. If you need separate colors per side, contact the author.
## Credits & Version

## Quick Start
1. Enable FVG and choose your HTF (e.g., `1 Hour`).
2. Pick a Fill Method (start with `Any Touch`).
3. Select zone colors and label text color.
4. Set `Max Bars Back` as needed for performance.
5. Use labels/tooltip values (Top/Mid/Bottom) to plan entries and manage risk.
Tactical Holding [SwissAlgo]Tactical Holding
A visual framework for managing long-term positions across market cycles
--------------------------------------------------------------
Purpose
Instead of holding a fixed position through all market conditions , you can use this framework to adjust your exposure tactically . By reducing positions during distribution phases and accumulating during favorable accumulation zones, you may end up holding more units of the asset over complete market cycles - even if you temporarily exit or reduce exposure during unfavorable periods. This approach aims to help you compound your holdings by taking advantage of market volatility rather than simply enduring it.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Recommended Settings
Timeframe : Weekly (1W) chart
Chart Type : Standard candlesticks (select 'Bar' type Candles)
This indicator is designed for higher timeframe analysis. While it can be applied to other timeframes, the logic and signal generation are optimized for weekly charts to filter out short-term noise and focus on major market cycles.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Key Features
♦ Market State Classification
The indicator aims to categorize potential market conditions into five color-coded states based on technical confluences:
* Bull (bright green): Multiple bullish indicators align
* Bull Retrace (teal): Bullish structure with temporary weakness
* Bull ⇆ Bear Reversal (yellow): Transitional phase between trends
* Bear (bright red): Multiple bearish indicators align
* Bear Retrace (Pale Red/Maroon): Bearish structure with temporary strength
♦ Visual Elements
* Candles change color based on the current market state
* A 50-period EMA tracks with the same color coding, providing visual trend context
* Small arrow markers appear when specific pattern conditions are met (zones for potential distribution or accumulation)
* A legend table (toggle on/off) explains the color system
* A label shows the current state name on the chart
♦ Pattern Recognition
The system monitors for two types of potential entry/exit zones:
1. State transition patterns after periods of market regime consistency
2. RSI divergence patterns (when price and momentum move in opposite directions)
♦ Customization
* Toggle the legend table visibility through settings
* All calculations are transparent and use standard technical analysis methods
--------------------------------------------------------------
How It Works
Think of this indicator as a traffic light system for your portfolio:
♦ Green zones suggest the asset might be in an environment where long-term holders historically have remained invested
Bright green (Bull) : Multiple technical indicators align in a potentially strong bullish phase
Pale green (Bull Retrace) : Bullish structure remains intact, but momentum shows temporary weakness - often a pullback within an uptrend
♦ Red zones suggest conditions where long-term holders might consider reducing exposure or waiting for better entry points
Dark red (Bear) : Multiple technical indicators align in a potentially strong bearish phase
Pale red (Bear Retrace) : Bearish structure remains intact but shows temporary strength - often a bounce within a downtrend
♦ Yellow zones indicate the market is in transition between bull and bear regimes - a time for increased attention as the trend direction becomes uncertain
The system doesn't predict future prices. Instead, it helps you understand the current technical environment by doing the heavy lifting of analyzing multiple indicators at once and presenting them in a simple visual format.
Example: During the 2022 crypto bear market, the indicator would have displayed extended red periods, signaling defensive conditions for holders. When accumulation arrows appeared in late 2022-early 2023, it highlighted potential re-entry zones as the technical regime transitioned back toward green, before the 2024 recovery.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Who This Is For
♦ Long-term investors who want to hold assets through cycles but prefer a systematic approach to position sizing and timing rather than buying and never selling .
♦ Portfolio managers looking for a visual tool to help determine when to increase or decrease exposure to specific assets based on technical regime changes.
♦ Swing traders on higher timeframes who want to align their positions with the broader market structure rather than fighting the trend.
This is not designed for:
* Day traders or scalpers
* Those seeking exact entry/exit prices
* Automated trading systems (this is a visual decision-support tool)
--------------------------------------------------------------
Understanding the Visuals
When you apply Tactical Holding to a chart, you'll see:
1. Colored candles - Instantly see what market regime the asset is in
2. Colored EMA line (thick line) - Provides a dynamic support/resistance reference that changes color with market conditions
3. Small arrows (↑ ↓) - Mark bars where specific technical patterns complete
4. State label - Shows current market classification
5. Legend table (top right) - Quick reference guide for the color system
6. Warning banner (top center) - Reminds you to use weekly charts
The visual design prioritizes clarity over complexity. You should be able to glance at a chart and immediately understand the current technical environment.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Important Limitations
This indicator cannot:
* Predict future price movements
* Guarantee profitable trades
* Work equally well on all assets or timeframes
* Replace your own research and risk management
Technical considerations:
* Divergence detection has a 3-bar confirmation lag (by design, to avoid false signals)
* State transitions require multiple technical confirmations, which may cause delayed reactions to rapid market changes
* The system is reactive, not predictive - it responds to price action after it occurs
* Performance varies significantly between trending assets (like Solana) and stable assets (like Apple)
--------------------------------------------------------------
Practical Application
Consider using this indicator as one component of a broader investment framework:
♦ Understanding Position Context:
The color-coded states can help frame your thinking about current holdings:
Bull: Technical conditions that have historically been associated with sustained uptrends
Bull Retrace: Pullbacks within an overall bullish structure- these periods may offer opportunities to evaluate entry points or reassess existing positions
Reversal (Yellow): Transitional phases where the trend direction is unclear - periods that may warrant closer monitoring
Bear Retrace: Temporary strength within an overall bearish structure - rallies that historically have often faded
Bear: Technical conditions that have historically been associated with sustained downtrends
♦ Interpreting Signal Arrows:
Arrow markers indicate when specific technical pattern conditions have been met. These are observation points, not instructions:
A signal appearing doesn't mean immediate action is required
Treat arrows as prompts for further analysis rather than automatic triggers
Consider the broader context: fundamentals, your investment timeline, risk tolerance, and overall market conditions
Signals show when historical technical patterns have formed - not whether those patterns will lead to the same outcomes as in the past
The framework is designed to organize information visually, not to tell you what to do. Your investment decisions should incorporate this technical perspective alongside other factors relevant to your situation.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Technical Methodology
For transparency, the indicator uses:
* RSI (14) with a 14-period SMA to assess momentum direction
* MACD (12,26,9) to confirm trend strength and histogram momentum
* Stochastic RSI with K and D line crossovers for additional confirmation
* 50-period EMA as the primary trend filter
* Linear regression-based slope analysis to detect flat/transitional periods
* Pivot-based divergence detection following standard technical analysis principles
All calculations use publicly available technical analysis formulas. Nothing is hidden or proprietary beyond the specific combination and weighting of these standard tools.

Smarter Money Volume Rejection Blocks [PhenLabs]📊 Smarter Money Volume Rejection Blocks – Institutional Rejection Zone Detection
The Smarter Money Volume Rejection Blocks indicator combines high-volume analysis with statistical confidence intervals to identify where institutional traders are actively defending price levels through volume spikes and rejection patterns.
🔥 Core Methodology
Volume Spike Detection analyzes when current volume exceeds moving average by configurable multipliers (1.0-5.0x) to identify institutional activity
Rejection Candle Analysis uses dual-ratio system measuring wick percentage (30-90%) and maximum body ratio (10-60%) to confirm genuine rejections
Statistical Confidence Channels create three-level zones (upper, center, lower) based on ATR or Standard Deviation calculations
Smart Invalidation Logic automatically clears zones when price significantly breaches confidence levels to maintain relevance
Dynamic Channel Projection extends confidence intervals forward up to 200 bars with customizable length
Support Zone Identification detects bullish rejections where smart money absorbs selling pressure with high volume and strong lower wicks
Resistance Zone Mapping identifies bearish rejections where institutions defend price levels with volume spikes and pronounced upper wicks
Visual Information Dashboard displays real-time status table showing volume spike conditions and active support/resistance zones
⚙️ Technical Configuration
Dual Confidence Interval Methods: Choose between ATR-Based for trend-following environments or StdDev-Based for range-bound statistical precision
Volume Moving Average: Configurable period (default 20) for baseline volume comparison calculations
Volume Spike Multiplier: Adjustable threshold from 1.0 to 5.0 times average volume to filter institutional activity
Rejection Wick Percentage: Set minimum wick size from 30% to 90% of candle range for valid rejection detection
Maximum Body Ratio: Configure body-to-range ratio from 10% to 60% to ensure genuine rejection structures
Confidence Multiplier: Statistical multiplier (default 1.96) for 95% confidence interval calculations
Channel Projection Length: Extend confidence zones forward from 10 to 200 bars for anticipatory analysis
ATR Period: Customize Average True Range lookback from 5 to 50 bars for volatility-based calculations
StdDev Period: Adjust Standard Deviation period from 10 to 100 bars for statistical precision
🎯 Real-World Trading Applications
Identify high-probability support zones where institutional buyers have historically defended price with significant volume
Map resistance levels where smart money sellers consistently reject higher prices with volume confirmation
Combine with price action analysis to confirm breakout validity when price approaches confidence channel boundaries
Use invalidation signals to exit positions when smart money zones are definitively breached
Monitor the real-time dashboard to quickly assess current market structure and active rejection zones
Adapt strategy based on calculation method: ATR for trending markets, StdDev for ranging conditions
Set alerts on confidence level breaches to catch potential trend reversals or continuation patterns
📈 Visual Interpretation Guide
Green Zones indicate bullish rejection blocks where buyers defended with high volume and lower wicks
Red Zones indicate bearish rejection blocks where sellers defended with high volume and upper wicks
Solid Center Lines represent the core rejection price level where maximum volume activity occurred
Dashed Confidence Boundaries show upper and lower statistical limits based on volatility calculations
Zone Opacity decreases as channels extend forward to indicate decreasing confidence over time
Dashboard Color Coding provides instant visual feedback on active volume spike and zone conditions
⚠️ Important Considerations
Volume-based indicators identify historical rejection zones but cannot predict future price action with certainty
Market conditions change rapidly and institutional activity patterns evolve continuously
High volume does not guarantee level defense as market structure can shift without warning
Confidence intervals represent statistical probabilities, not guaranteed price boundaries
Geometric Price-Time Triangle Calculator═══════════════════════════════════════════════════
GEOMETRIC PRICE-TIME TRIANGLE CALCULATOR
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════
Calculates Point C of a geometric triangle using different rotation angles from any selected price swing. Based on Bradley F. Cowan's Price-Time Vector (PTV) methods from "Four-Dimensional Stock Market Structures and Cycles."
📐 WHAT IT DOES
────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Select two points (A and B) on any swing, choose an angle, and the indicator calculates where Point C would be mathematically. It's just vector rotation applied to price charts.
This shows you where Point C lands in both price AND time based on pure geometry - not a prediction, just a calculation.
🎯 FEATURES
────────────────────────────────────────────────────
✓ 10 Different Angles
• Gann ratios: 18.435° (1x3), 26.565° (1x2), 45° (1x1), 63.435° (2x1), 71.565° (3x1)
• Other angles: 30°, 60°, 90°, 120°, 150°
✓ Visual Triangle
• Adjustable colors and opacity for points A, B, C
• Line styles: Solid, Dashed, Dotted
• Extend lines: None, Left, Right, Both
✓ Crosshair at Point C
• Shows where Point C is located
• Vertical line = bar position
• Horizontal line = price level
✓ Data Table
• Shows all calculations
• Price-to-Bar ratio
• Point C location (price and bars from A/B)
• Toggle on/off
🔧 HOW TO USE
────────────────────────────────────────────────────
1. Pick your swing start date (Point A)
2. Pick your swing end date (Point B) - make sure these dates capture the actual high/low of your swing
3. Choose an angle from the dropdown
4. Look at Point C - that's where the geometry puts it
Different angles = different Point C locations. Whether price actually goes there is up to the market.
📊 THE ANGLES
────────────────────────────────────────────────────
- 18.435° (1x3) - Shallow rotation
- 26.565° (1x2) - Moderate rotation
- 45° (1x1) - Gann's balanced ratio
- 60° - Equilateral triangle (default)
- 63.435° (2x1) - Steeper rotation
- 71.565° (3x1) - Very steep rotation
- 90° - Right angle
- 120°-150° - Obtuse angles
💡 PRACTICAL USE
────────────────────────────────────────────────────
→ See where geometric patterns would complete
→ Test if your market respects certain angles
→ Find where multiple angles converge
→ Compare projected Point C to actual price action
→ Use 90° to see symmetrical price/time relationships
→ Backtest historical swings to see what worked
⚙️ HOW IT WORKS
────────────────────────────────────────────────────
1. Takes your AB swing
2. Calculates the BA vector (reverse direction)
3. Normalizes price and time using Price-to-Bar ratio
4. Rotates the vector by your selected angle
5. Converts back to chart coordinates
Basic trigonometry. That's all it is.
📚 BACKGROUND
────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Based on Bradley F. Cowan's Price-Time Vector (PTV) concept from "Four-Dimensional Stock Market Structures and Cycles" and W.D. Gann's geometric angle analysis. Cowan observed that markets sometimes complete geometric patterns. This tool calculates where those patterns would complete mathematically. Whether price actually respects these geometric relationships is something you need to test yourself.
⚠️ IMPORTANT
────────────────────────────────────────────────────
- This is geometric calculation, not prediction
- Point C shows where the math puts it, not where price will go
- Some angles might work for your market, some won't
- Test it yourself on historical data
- Price-to-Bar Ratio stays constant regardless of angle
- Don't trade based on this alone
- Works on all timeframes and assets
🎨 CUSTOMIZATION
────────────────────────────────────────────────────
- Show/hide triangle
- Individual colors for A, B, C points
- Adjust opacity (0-100)
- Line styles for each triangle side
- Extend lines left/right/both/none
- Show/hide data table
- Crosshair color and width
- Customizable table colors

Buying Climax + Spring [Darwinian]Buying Climax + Spring Indicator
Overview
Advanced Wyckoff-based indicator that identifies potential market reversals through **Buying Climax** patterns (exhaustion tops) and **Spring** patterns (accumulation bottoms). Designed for traders seeking high-probability reversal signals with strict uptrend validation.
---
Method
🔴 Buying Climax Detection
Identifies exhaustion patterns at market tops using multi-condition analysis:
**Base Buying Climax (Red Triangle)**
- Volume spike > 1.8x average
- Range expansion > 1.8x average
- New 20-bar high reached
- Close finishes in lower 30% of bar range
- **Strict uptrend validation**: Price must be 30%+ above 20-day low
**Enhanced Buying Climax (Maroon Triangle)**
- All Base BC conditions PLUS:
- Gap up from previous high
- Intraday fade (close < open and below midpoint)
- **Higher confidence reversal signal**
🟢 Wyckoff Spring Detection
Identifies accumulation patterns at support levels:
- Price breaks below recent pivot low (false breakdown)
- Close recovers above pivot level (rejection)
- Occurs at trading range low
- Optional volume confirmation (1.5x+ average)
- Limited to 3 attempts per pivot (prevents over-signaling)
✅ Uptrend Validation Filter
**Four-condition composite filter** prevents false signals in sideways/downtrending markets:
1. Close-to-close rise ≥ 5% over lookback period
2. Price structure: Close > MA(10) > MA(20)
3. Swing low significantly below current price
4. **Primary requirement**: Current high ≥ 30% above 20-day low
---
Input Tuning Guide
Buying Climax Settings:

---
Recommended Workflow
1. **Start with defaults** on daily timeframe
2. **Adjust uptrend filter** first (30% rise parameter)
- Too many signals? Increase to 35-40%
- Too few? Decrease to 25%
3. **Fine-tune volume/range multipliers** based on instrument volatility
4. **Enable alerts** for real-time monitoring:
- Base BC → Initial warning
- Enhanced BC → High-priority reversal
- Confirmed BC (AR) → Strong follow-through
- Spring → Accumulation opportunity

T3 [DCAUT]█ T3
📊 INDICATOR OVERVIEW
The T3 Moving Average is a smoothing indicator developed by Tim Tillson and published in Technical Analysis of Stocks & Commodities magazine (January 1998). The algorithm applies Generalized DEMA (Double Exponential Moving Average) recursively three times, creating a six-pole filtering effect that aims to balance noise reduction with responsiveness while minimizing lag relative to price changes.
📐 MATHEMATICAL FOUNDATION
Generalized DEMA (GD) Function:
The core building block is the Generalized DEMA function, which combines two exponential moving averages with weights controlled by the volume factor:
GD(input, v) = EMA(input) × (1 + v) - EMA(EMA(input)) × v
Where v is the volume factor parameter (default 0.7). This weighted combination reduces lag while maintaining smoothness by extrapolating beyond the first EMA using the double-smoothed EMA as a reference.
T3 Calculation Process:
T3 applies the GD function three times recursively:
T3 = GD(GD(GD(Price, v), v), v)
This triple nesting creates a six-pole smoothing effect (each GD applies two EMA operations, resulting in 2 × 3 = 6 total EMA calculations). The cascading refinement progressively filters noise while preserving trend information.
Step-by-Step Breakdown:
First GD application: GD1 = EMA(Price) × (1 + v) - EMA(EMA(Price)) × v - Creates initial smoothed series with lag reduction
Second GD application: GD2 = EMA(GD1) × (1 + v) - EMA(EMA(GD1)) × v - Further refines the smoothing while maintaining responsiveness
Third GD application: T3 = EMA(GD2) × (1 + v) - EMA(EMA(GD2)) × v - Final refinement produces the T3 output
Volume Factor Impact:
The volume factor (v) is the key parameter controlling the balance between smoothness and responsiveness. Tim Tillson recommended v = 0.7 as the optimal default value.
Lower volume factors (v closer to 0.0): Increase the extrapolation effect, making T3 more responsive to price changes but potentially more sensitive to noise.
Higher volume factors (v closer to 1.0): Reduce the extrapolation effect, producing smoother output with less sensitivity to short-term fluctuations but slightly more lag.
The recursive application of the volume factor through three GD stages creates a nonlinear filtering effect that achieves superior lag reduction compared to traditional moving averages of equivalent smoothness.
📊 SIGNAL INTERPRETATION
Trend Direction Signals:
Green Line (T3 Rising): Smoothed trend line is rising, may indicate uptrend, consider bullish opportunities when confirmed by other factors
Red Line (T3 Falling): Smoothed trend line is falling, may indicate downtrend, consider bearish opportunities when confirmed by other factors
Gray Line (T3 Flat): Smoothed trend line is flat, indicates unclear trend or consolidation phase
Price Crossover Signals:
Price Crosses Above T3: Price breaks above smoothed trend line, may be bullish signal, requires confirmation from other indicators
Price Crosses Below T3: Price breaks below smoothed trend line, may be bearish signal, requires confirmation from other indicators
Price Position Relative to T3: Price sustained above T3 may indicate uptrend, sustained below may indicate downtrend
Supporting Analysis Signals:
T3 Slope Angle: Steeper slopes indicate stronger trend momentum, flatter slopes suggest weakening trends
Price Deviation: Significant price separation from T3 may indicate overextension, watch for pullback or reversal
Dynamic Support/Resistance: T3 line can serve as dynamic support (in uptrends) or resistance (in downtrends) reference
🎯 STRATEGIC APPLICATIONS
Common Usage Patterns:
The T3 Moving Average can be incorporated into trading analysis in various ways. These represent common approaches used by market participants, though effectiveness varies by market conditions and requires individual testing:
Trend Filtering:
T3 can be used as a trend filter by observing the relationship between price and the T3 line. The color-coded slope (green for rising, red for falling, gray for sideways) provides visual feedback about the current trend direction of the smoothed series.
Price Crossover Analysis:
Some traders monitor crossovers between price and the T3 line as potential indication points. When price crosses the T3 line, it may suggest a change in the relationship between current price action and the smoothed trend.
Multi-Timeframe Observation:
T3 can be applied to multiple timeframes simultaneously. Observing alignment or divergence between different timeframe T3 indicators may provide context about trend consistency across time scales.
Dynamic Reference Level:
The T3 line can serve as a dynamic reference level for price action analysis. Price distance from T3, price reactions when approaching T3, and the behavior of price relative to the T3 line can all be incorporated into market analysis frameworks.
Application Considerations:
Any trading application should be thoroughly tested on historical data before implementation
T3 performance characteristics vary across different market conditions and asset types
The indicator provides smoothed trend information but does not predict future price movements
Combining T3 with other analytical tools and market context improves analysis quality
Risk management practices remain essential regardless of the analytical approach used
📋 DETAILED PARAMETER CONFIGURATION
Source Selection:
Close Price (Default): Standard choice for end-of-period trend analysis, reduces intrabar noise
HL2 (High+Low)/2: Provides balanced view of price action, considers full bar range
HLC3 or OHLC4: Incorporates more price information, may provide smoother results
Selection Impact: Different sources affect signal timing and smoothness characteristics
Length Configuration:
Shorter periods: More responsive, faster reaction, frequent signals, but higher false signal risk in choppy markets
Longer periods: Smoother output, fewer signals, better for long-term trends, but slower response
Default 14 periods is a common baseline, but optimal length varies by asset, timeframe, and market conditions
Parameter selection should be determined through backtesting rather than general recommendations
Volume Factor Configuration:
Lower values (closer to 0.0): Increase responsiveness but also noise sensitivity
Higher values (closer to 1.0): Increase smoothness but slightly more lag
Default 0.7 (Tim Tillson's recommendation) provides good balance for most applications
Optimal value depends on signal frequency versus reliability preference, test for specific use case
Parameter Optimization Approach:
There are no universal "best" parameter values - optimal settings depend on the specific asset, timeframe, market regime, and trading strategy
Start with default values (Length: 14, Volume Factor: 0.7) and adjust based on observed performance in your target market
Conduct systematic backtesting across different market conditions to evaluate parameter sensitivity
Consider that parameters optimized for historical data may not perform identically in future market conditions
Monitor performance and be prepared to adjust parameters as market characteristics evolve
📈 DESIGN FEATURES & MARKET ADAPTATION
Algorithm Design Features:
Simple Moving Average (SMA): Equal weighting across lookback period
Exponential Moving Average (EMA): Exponentially decreasing weights on historical prices
T3 Moving Average: Recursive Generalized DEMA with adjustable volume factor
Market Condition Adaptation:
Trending markets: Smoothed indicators generally align more closely with sustained directional movement
Ranging markets: All moving averages may generate more crossover signals during non-trending periods
Volatile conditions: Higher smoothing parameters reduce short-term sensitivity but increase lag
Indicator behavior relative to market conditions should be evaluated for specific applications
USAGE NOTES
This indicator is designed for technical analysis and educational purposes. The T3 Moving Average has limitations and should not be used as the sole basis for trading decisions. Like all trend-following indicators, its performance varies with market conditions, and past signal characteristics do not guarantee future results.
Key Points:
T3 is a lagging indicator that responds to price changes rather than predicting future movements
Signals should be confirmed with other technical tools and market context
Parameters should be optimized for specific market and timeframe
Risk management and position sizing are essential
Market regime changes can affect indicator effectiveness
Test strategies thoroughly on historical data before live implementation
Consider broader market context and fundamental factors
Ichimoku Screener [Pineify]Advanced Multi-Timeframe Ichimoku Screener - Complete Market Analysis Tool
This sophisticated Ichimoku Screener represents a comprehensive approach to multi-timeframe market analysis, combining four distinct Ichimoku-based indicators into a unified screening system. Unlike traditional single-symbol indicators, this screener provides simultaneous analysis across multiple assets and timeframes, enabling traders to identify optimal trading opportunities with enhanced precision and efficiency.
Key Features
Multi-asset screening capability for up to 10 symbols simultaneously
Four customizable timeframes per symbol for comprehensive analysis
Four integrated Ichimoku-based indicators working in harmony
Real-time visual feedback with color-coded signals
Customizable Ichimoku parameters for personalized analysis
Clean, organized table display for easy interpretation
Automated signal strength assessment and timing
How It Works
The screener employs the traditional Ichimoku Kinko Hyo methodology, utilizing five core components: Conversion Line (Tenkan-sen), Base Line (Kijun-sen), Leading Span A (Senkou Span A), Leading Span B (Senkou Span B), and displacement calculations. Each component is mathematically calculated using specific period lengths:
Conversion Line = (Highest High + Lowest Low) / 2 over conversion period
Base Line = (Highest High + Lowest Low) / 2 over base period
Leading Span A = (Conversion Line + Base Line) / 2
Leading Span B = (Highest High + Lowest Low) / 2 over lagging span period
The screener processes these calculations across multiple securities simultaneously using TradingView's security() function, enabling real-time cross-asset analysis. The system tracks state changes using barssince() functions to provide precise timing information for each signal type.
Trading Ideas and Insights
This screener excels in identifying momentum convergence patterns where multiple Ichimoku components align across different timeframes. The most powerful signals occur when:
Cloud color aligns with price position relative to the cloud
Conversion Line crosses above/below Base Line in the same direction as cloud bias
Multiple timeframes show consistent directional bias
Entry signals appear with minimal bars since formation (indicating fresh momentum)
For trend following strategies , focus on symbols where the cloud maintains consistent color across higher timeframes while showing recent entry signals on lower timeframes. For reversal opportunities , identify assets where cloud color changes coincide with price re-entering the cloud after extended periods above or below.
The screener particularly excels in cryptocurrency and forex markets where momentum shifts can be dramatic and sustained. By monitoring multiple timeframes simultaneously, traders can identify when short-term signals align with longer-term trends, significantly improving trade success probability.
How Multiple Indicators Work Together
The four integrated indicators create a comprehensive analytical framework through synergistic interaction:
Ichimoku Cloud (IchiCld) establishes the primary trend bias by comparing Leading Span A with Leading Span B. When Span A > Span B, the cloud displays bullish characteristics; when Span A < Span B, bearish characteristics emerge. The indicator tracks duration since the last cloud color change, providing momentum persistence insight.
Ichimoku Lagging Cloud (IchiLagCld) determines price position relative to the displaced cloud formation. This indicator identifies whether current price action occurs above, below, or within the cloud structure, revealing support/resistance dynamics and trend confirmation signals.
Conversion vs Base (IchiC>Base) monitors the relationship between short-term (Conversion Line) and medium-term (Base Line) momentum. Crossovers in this relationship often precede significant price movements and provide early trend change warnings.
Ichimoku Entry (IchiEnt) synthesizes all components into actionable signals by requiring alignment between cloud bias, price position, and conversion/base relationship. This multi-factor confirmation approach significantly reduces false signals while maintaining sensitivity to genuine momentum shifts.
The mathematical foundation ensures that each indicator contributes unique information while maintaining logical consistency. The system's strength lies in requiring multiple confirmations before generating entry signals, following Ichimoku's original philosophy of comprehensive market analysis.
Unique Aspects
This implementation distinguishes itself through several innovative features:
Advanced State Tracking : Unlike standard Ichimoku indicators that show current values, this screener tracks duration since state changes , providing crucial timing information for signal freshness and momentum strength assessment.

Professional Table Architecture : The organized display accommodates up to 40 symbol-timeframe combinations (10 symbols × 4 timeframes), with intelligent pagination for optimal screen utilization.
Signal Correlation Analysis : By displaying multiple timeframes for each symbol, traders can quickly identify timeframe confluence and divergence patterns that would otherwise require extensive manual analysis.
How to Use
Symbol Configuration : Enter up to 10 symbols in the Symbol input group. Use full exchange:ticker format for optimal compatibility (e.g., "BINANCE:BTCUSDT").
Timeframe Selection : Configure four timeframes in ascending order for logical analysis progression. Recommended combinations include 1m/5m/15m/1h for intraday analysis or 1h/4h/1D/1W for swing trading.
Ichimoku Parameters : Adjust the four core parameters based on your trading style:
Conversion Line Length (default: 9) - Controls short-term momentum sensitivity
Base Line Length (default: 26) - Determines medium-term trend identification
Leading Span B Length (default: 52) - Sets long-term trend calculation period
Displacement (default: 26) - Controls forward projection of cloud structure
Signal Interpretation :
Green backgrounds indicate bullish conditions
Red backgrounds indicate bearish conditions
Numerical values show bars since last state change
"L:" prefix indicates long entry signals
"S:" prefix indicates short entry signals
"N/A" indicates neutral/transitional states
Trading Workflow : Scan for symbols showing consistent signals across multiple timeframes, prioritize fresh signals (low bar counts), and use individual charts for precise entry timing and risk management.
Customization
The screener accommodates various trading approaches through parameter adjustment:
Scalping Configuration : Use shorter periods (Conversion: 5, Base: 13, Span B: 26) with 1m/3m/5m/15m timeframes for high-frequency opportunities.
Swing Trading Setup : Employ standard parameters with 4h/1D/3D/1W timeframes for position trading across days or weeks.
Cryptocurrency Optimization : Given crypto's 24/7 nature, consider using 4h/8h/1D/3D combinations for optimal signal timing.
Symbol selection can focus on correlated assets (e.g., major cryptocurrencies) for sector analysis or diverse assets for portfolio opportunity identification. The flexible timeframe configuration allows adaptation to any market's characteristic volatility and trading patterns.

Script_Algo - Fibo Correction Strategy🔹 Core Concept
The strategy is built on combining Fibonacci retracement levels, candlestick pattern confirmation, and trend filtering for trade selection. It performs well on the 1-hour timeframe across many cryptocurrency pairs. Particularly on LINKUSDT over the past year and a half, despite the not very optimal 1:1 risk/reward ratio.
The logic is simple: after a strong impulse move, the price often retraces to key Fibonacci levels (specifically, the 61.8% level). If a confirming candlestick (pattern) appears at this moment, the strategy looks for an entry in the direction of the main trend.
🔹 Indicators Used in the Strategy
ATR (Average True Range) — Used to calculate the stop-loss and take-profit levels.
EMA (9 and 21) — Additional moving averages for assessing the direction of movement (not directly used in entry conditions, but the logic can be expanded to include them).
SMA (Trend Filter, 20 by default) — The trend direction filter. Trades are only opened in its direction.
Fibonacci Levels — The 61.8% retracement level is calculated based on the high and low of the previous candle.
🔹 Entry Conditions
🟢 Long (Buy):
Previous Candle:
Must be green (close higher than open).
Must have a body not smaller than a specified minimum.
The upper wick must not exceed 30% of the body size.
→ This filters out "weak" or "indecisive" candles.
Current Candle:
Price touches or breaches the Fibonacci 61.8% retracement level from the previous range.
Closes above this level.
Closes above the Trend Filter (SMA) line.
A position is opened only if there are no other open trades at the moment.
🔴 Short (Sell):
Previous Candle:
Must be red (close lower than open).
Must have a body not smaller than a specified minimum.
The lower wick must not exceed 30% of the body size.
Current Candle:
Price touches or breaches the Fibonacci 61.8% retracement level from the previous range.
Closes below this level.
Closes below the Trend Filter (SMA) line.
A trade is opened only if there are no other open positions.
🔹 Risk Management
Stop-Loss = ATR × multiplier (default is 5).
Take-Profit = ATR × the same multiplier.
Thus, the default risk/reward ratio is 1:1, but it can be easily adjusted by changing the coefficient. Although, strangely enough, this ratio has shown the best results on some assets on the 1-hour timeframe.
🔹 Chart Visualization
Fibonacci level for Long — Green line with circles.
Fibonacci level for Short — Red line with circles.
Trend Filter line (SMA) — Blue.
🔹 Strengths of the Strategy
✅ Utilizes a proven market pattern — retracement to the 61.8% level.
✅ Further filters entries using trend and candlestick patterns.
✅ Simple, transparent logic that is easy to expand (e.g., adding other Fib levels, an EMA filter, etc.).
🔹 Limitations
⚠️ Performs better in trending markets; can generate false signals during ranging (sideways) conditions.
⚠️ The fixed 1:1 risk/reward ratio is not always optimal and could be refined.
⚠️ Performance depends on the selected timeframe and ATR parameters.
📌 Summary:
The strategy seeks corrective entries in the direction of the trend, confirmed by candlestick patterns. It is versatile and can be applied to forex pairs, cryptocurrencies, and stocks.
⚠️ Not financial advice. Pay close attention to risk management to avoid blowing your account. The strategy is not repainting — I have personally verified it through real testing — but it may not necessarily replicate the same results in the future, as the market is constantly changing. Test it, profit, and good luck to everyone!
Mutanabby_AI | Algo Pro Strategy# Mutanabby_AI | Algo Pro Strategy: Advanced Candlestick Pattern Trading System
## Strategy Overview
The Mutanabby_AI Algo Pro Strategy represents a systematic approach to automated trading based on advanced candlestick pattern recognition and multi-layered technical filtering. This strategy transforms traditional engulfing pattern analysis into a comprehensive trading system with sophisticated risk management and flexible position sizing capabilities.
The strategy operates on a long-only basis, entering positions when bullish engulfing patterns meet specific technical criteria and exiting when bearish engulfing patterns indicate potential trend reversals. The system incorporates multiple confirmation layers to enhance signal reliability while providing comprehensive customization options for different trading approaches and risk management preferences.
## Core Algorithm Architecture
The strategy foundation relies on bullish and bearish engulfing candlestick pattern recognition enhanced through technical analysis filtering mechanisms. Entry signals require simultaneous satisfaction of four distinct criteria: confirmed bullish engulfing pattern formation, candle stability analysis indicating decisive price action, RSI momentum confirmation below specified thresholds, and price decline verification over adjustable lookback periods.
The candle stability index measures the ratio between candlestick body size and total range including wicks, ensuring only well-formed patterns with clear directional conviction generate trading signals. This filtering mechanism eliminates indecisive market conditions where pattern reliability diminishes significantly.
RSI integration provides momentum confirmation by requiring oversold conditions before entry signal generation, ensuring alignment between pattern formation and underlying momentum characteristics. The RSI threshold remains fully adjustable to accommodate different market conditions and volatility environments.
Price decline verification examines whether current prices have decreased over a specified period, confirming that bullish engulfing patterns occur after meaningful downward movement rather than during sideways consolidation phases. This requirement enhances the probability of successful reversal pattern completion.
## Advanced Position Management System
The strategy incorporates dual position sizing methodologies to accommodate different account sizes and risk management approaches. Percentage-based position sizing calculates trade quantities as equity percentages, enabling consistent risk exposure across varying account balances and market conditions. This approach proves particularly valuable for systematic trading approaches and portfolio management applications.
Fixed quantity sizing provides precise control over trade sizes independent of account equity fluctuations, offering predictable position management for specific trading strategies or when implementing precise risk allocation models. The system enables seamless switching between sizing methods through simple configuration adjustments.
Position quantity calculations integrate seamlessly with TradingView's strategy testing framework, ensuring accurate backtesting results and realistic performance evaluation across different market conditions and time periods. The implementation maintains consistency between historical testing and live trading applications.
## Comprehensive Risk Management Framework
The strategy features dual stop loss methodologies addressing different risk management philosophies and market analysis approaches. Entry price-based stop losses calculate stop levels as fixed percentages below entry prices, providing predictable risk exposure and consistent risk-reward ratio maintenance across all trades.
The percentage-based stop loss system enables precise risk control by limiting maximum loss per trade to predetermined levels regardless of market volatility or entry timing. This approach proves essential for systematic trading strategies requiring consistent risk parameters and capital preservation during adverse market conditions.
Lowest low-based stop losses identify recent price support levels by analyzing minimum prices over adjustable lookback periods, placing stops below these technical levels with additional buffer percentages. This methodology aligns stop placement with market structure rather than arbitrary percentage calculations, potentially improving stop loss effectiveness during normal market fluctuations.
The lookback period adjustment enables optimization for different timeframes and market characteristics, with shorter periods providing tighter stops for active trading and longer periods offering broader stops suitable for position trading approaches. Buffer percentage additions ensure stops remain below obvious support levels where other market participants might place similar orders.
## Visual Customization and Interface Design
The strategy provides comprehensive visual customization through eight predefined color schemes designed for different chart backgrounds and personal preferences. Color scheme options include Classic bright green and red combinations, Ocean themes featuring blue and orange contrasts, Sunset combinations using gold and crimson, and Neon schemes providing high visibility through bright color selections.
Professional color schemes such as Forest, Royal, and Fire themes offer sophisticated alternatives suitable for business presentations and professional trading environments. The Custom color scheme enables precise color selection through individual color picker controls, maintaining maximum flexibility for specific visual requirements.
Label styling options accommodate different chart analysis preferences through text bubble, triangle, and arrow display formats. Size adjustments range from tiny through huge settings, ensuring appropriate visual scaling across different screen resolutions and chart configurations. Text color customization maintains readability across various chart themes and background selections.
## Signal Quality Enhancement Features
The strategy incorporates signal filtering mechanisms designed to eliminate repetitive signal generation during choppy market conditions. The disable repeating signals option prevents consecutive identical signals until opposing conditions occur, reducing overtrading during consolidation phases and improving overall signal quality.
Signal confirmation requirements ensure all technical criteria align before trade execution, reducing false signal occurrence while maintaining reasonable trading frequency for active strategies. The multi-layered approach balances signal quality against opportunity frequency through adjustable parameter optimization.
Entry and exit visualization provides clear trade identification through customizable labels positioned at relevant price levels. Stop loss visualization displays active risk levels through colored line plots, ensuring complete transparency regarding current risk management parameters during live trading operations.
## Implementation Guidelines and Optimization
The strategy performs effectively across multiple timeframes with optimal results typically occurring on intermediate timeframes ranging from fifteen minutes through four hours. Higher timeframes provide more reliable pattern formation and reduced false signal occurrence, while lower timeframes increase trading frequency at the expense of some signal reliability.
Parameter optimization should focus on RSI threshold adjustments based on market volatility characteristics and candlestick pattern timeframe analysis. Higher RSI thresholds generate fewer but potentially higher quality signals, while lower thresholds increase signal frequency with corresponding reliability considerations.
Stop loss method selection depends on trading style preferences and market analysis philosophy. Entry price-based stops suit systematic approaches requiring consistent risk parameters, while lowest low-based stops align with technical analysis methodologies emphasizing market structure recognition.
## Performance Considerations and Risk Disclosure
The strategy operates exclusively on long positions, making it unsuitable for bear market conditions or extended downtrend periods. Users should consider market environment analysis and broader trend assessment before implementing the strategy during adverse market conditions.
Candlestick pattern reliability varies significantly across different market conditions, with higher reliability typically occurring during trending markets compared to ranging or volatile conditions. Strategy performance may deteriorate during periods of reduced pattern effectiveness or increased market noise.
Risk management through stop loss implementation remains essential for capital preservation during adverse market movements. The strategy does not guarantee profitable outcomes and requires proper position sizing and risk management to prevent significant capital loss during unfavorable trading periods.
## Technical Specifications
The strategy utilizes standard TradingView Pine Script functions ensuring compatibility across all supported instruments and timeframes. Default configuration employs 14-period RSI calculations, adjustable candle stability thresholds, and customizable price decline verification periods optimized for general market conditions.
Initial capital settings default to $10,000 with percentage-based equity allocation, though users can adjust these parameters based on account size and risk tolerance requirements. The strategy maintains detailed trade logs and performance metrics through TradingView's integrated backtesting framework.
Alert integration enables real-time notification of entry and exit signals, stop loss executions, and other significant trading events. The comprehensive alert system supports automated trading applications and manual trade management approaches through detailed signal information provision.
