Weis pip zigzag jayyWhat you see here is the Weis pip zigzag wave plotted directly on the price chart. This script is the companion to the Weis pip wave ( ) which is plotted in the lower panel of the displayed chart and can be used as an alternate way of plotting the same results. The Weis pip zigzag wave shows how far in terms of price a Weis wave has traveled through the duration of a Weis wave. The Weis pip zigzag wave is used in combination with the Weis cumulative volume wave. The two waves must be set to the same "wave size".
To use this script you must set the wave size. Using the traditional Weis method simply enter the desired wave size in the box "Select Weis Wave Size" In this example, it is set to 5. Each wave for each security and each timeframe requires its own wave size. Although not the traditional method a more automatic way to set wave size would be to use ATR. This is not the true Weis method but it does give you similar waves and, importantly, without the hassle described above. Once the Weis wave size is set then the pip wave will be shown.
I have put a pip zigzag of a 5 point Weis wave on the bar chart - that is a different script. I have added it to allow your eye to see what a Weis wave looks like. You will notice that the wave is not in straight lines connecting wave tops to bottoms this is a function of the limitations of Pinescript version 1. This script would need to be in version 4 to allow straight lines. There are too many calculations within this script to allow conversion to Pinescript version 4 or even Version 3. I am in the process of rewriting this script to reduce the number of calculations and streamline the algorithm.
The numbers plotted on the chart are calculated to be relative numbers. The script is limited to showing only three numbers vertically. Only the highest three values of a number are shown. For example, if the highest recent pip value is 12,345 only the first 3 numerals would be displayed ie 123. But suppose there is a recent value of 691. It would not be helpful to display 691 if the other wave size is shown as 123. To give the appropriate relative value the script will show a value of 7 instead of 691. This informs you of the relative magnitude of the values. This is done automatically within the script. There is likely no need to manually override the automatically calculated value. I will create a video that demonstrates the manual override method.
What is a Weis wave? David Weis has been recognized as a Wyckoff method analyst he has written two books one of which, Trades About to Happen, describes the evolution of the now popular Weis wave. The method employed by Weis is to identify waves of price action and to compare the strength of the waves on characteristics of wave strength. Chief among the characteristics of strength is the cumulative volume of the wave. There are other markers that Weis uses as well for example how the actual price difference between the start of the Weis wave from start to finish. Weis also uses time, particularly when using a Renko chart. Weis specifically uses candle or bar closes to define all wave action ie a line chart.
David Weis did a futures io video which is a popular source of information about his method.
This is the identical script with the identical settings but without the offending links. If you want to see the pip Weis method in practice then search Weis pip wave. If you want to see Weis chart in pdf then message me and I will give a link or the Weis pdf. Why would you want to see the Weis chart for May 27, 2020? Merely to confirm the veracity of my algorithm. You could compare my Weis chart here () from the same period to the David Weis chart from May 27. Both waves are for the ES!1 4 hour chart and both for a wave size of 5.

TradeSense Breakout Strategy v1TradeSense is a Renko brick breakout trading system for short-term or intraday trade. It is also a trend following strategy using a confluence of multiple MA's to spot the underlying trend. Exit and Stop Loss is based on dynamic ATR to predict possible target based on ticker's real time volatility.
So far this has been back-tested on major cyrptos, and the same concept is applicable to other asset types. It is more suitable for lower timeframes (such as the 30m, 15m, and 5m) though you may try adjusting the parameters for higher timeframes.
Feel free to backtest it and comment below!
Optimum parameters:
BTCUSD-15m
- Noise Filter: 1
- ATRLength : 15
- SL coefficient : 2.0
- TP coefficient : 1.5
ETHUSD-15m
- Noise Filter: 7
- ATRLength : 16
- SL coefficient : 2.0
- TP coefficient : 1.5
TA Basics: further "Steps" with our Moving AverageSo far in this series of posts, we have worked thru creating a basic zero-lag moving average, then moved forward all the way to coding a "Fibonacci" Weighted Moving Average.
in this post we take a look at a technique that can help traders minimize noise in the underlying data and get better insight on the changes that are happening in the data series represented by the moving average. we'll look at adding "stepping" to our Fibonacci Moving Average as an example. we introduce the Stepping Fibonacci Moving Average , or Step_FiMA
note that you can use the same technique with any plot you may have. feel free to copy or leverage the relevant parts of the script - the script is commented to make this easier.
How is this useful?
==================
with "stepping", you get your indicator to "round" the outcome into pre-specified bands or ranges. this works very similar to how, for example, range or Renko charts work. you can easily see the difference in the chart above once we look at a non-stepped and a stepping moving average of the same length side-by-side
the more granular your timeframe is, you will see the effect of the stepping clearer - here's how the same chart looks when we go into the 1-hr aggregation
Notes about this script
====================
there are couple of pieces i wanted to highlight in the script if you plan to use some of it :
1 - the step(x) function is meant to try to automatically pick the best "suitable" step size based on the range of the underlying series (for example, the closing price). these ranges i included here in the code are just my own "best choices" - you are totally welcome to adjust these ranges and the resulting step size to your own preference
2 - we applied the stepping as a user-choice. user can choose a manual entry, or "0" to get the code to automatically pick the step size, or enter -1 (or actually any value below zero) to cancel the stepping option altogether - this gives us some flexibility on how to use the stepping in an indicator
3 - very important (and somehow confusing): on the "rounding" approach:
the magic math formula that actually creates the stepping is this one
result = round(input / step) * step
now, this tells the script to "round" the result up or down (the basic rounding) -- so for example, a price of 17 with a step of 5 would be rounded (down) to 15, where as a price of 18 would be rounded "up" to 20 -- this is not the way some of us would expect or want, cause the price never reached 20 and they would want an 18 to still be rounded to 15 - and the stepping line not to show 20 *until* the price actually hits or exceeds 20 -- in that case, you would need to replace the function "round" with the function "floor" --
so the new formula becomes: floor(input / step) * step
-- in an ideal world, we can make this rounding choice a user-option in the settings -- maybe in an improved version
4 - we kept the smoothing option, and it takes place before the stepping is applied - we continue to use that smoothing to further minimize the level changes in the FiMA line.
I hope you find this script useful in your journey with technical analysis and DIY scripting, and good luck in your trading.
Fibonacci Retracement level with 10 preset cross alert.The Fibonacci retracement is also called the golden mean or golden section.
It has been used to analyze the proportions of natural objects as well as man-made systems such as financial markets.
The mathematics of the golden ratio and of the Fibonacci sequence is intimately interconnected. The Fibonacci sequence is:
1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, 233, 377, 610, 987, ....
The golden ratio is the limit of the ratios of successive terms of the Fibonacci sequence (or any Fibonacci-like sequence).
This Fibonacci retracement level indicator automatically plots 7 support and resistance levels on chart based on selected number of bars.
How it works?
It shows the Fibonacci retracement support and resistance levels for a given range and display the corresponding ratio on the right side of the levels. The price range and levels are adjustable by user, you can easily identify the major and minor support/resistance levels from the chart with your desired inputs.
Features and inputs:
Show Level Label, enable to display the level on chart.
Range, it's the number of bars used to detect the highest and lowest price. The default value is 300 it means the indicator will plot the Fibonacci retracement based on the price range of last 300 bars.
If you want to use different ratios other than the default ones, you can change them from input Level1 to Level5.
You can change the color of each level line from the following available colors: silver , gray, white, maroon, red, purple, fuchsia, green, lime, olive, yellow, navy, blue, teal, aqua, orange.
The highest and lowest level are auto detected and can't be changed.
Line style: you can choose from: Solid, Dotted and Dashed.
1 is Solid like this: ______________________
2 is Dashed - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
3 is dotted ............................................
It works on all timeframes and Renko, Heikin Ashi, Bars, Candle and Line chart types.
There are also 10 pre-set alert conditions for you to choose.
For example, if you chose "Cross over Level 1", alert will be triggered when close price cross above level 1.

Hakimi - Ichi Based Pivot Time Prediction - V.2This indicator is based on multitime ichimoku and can be used to predict some of pivots .
How to use:
1- Select the arbitrary chart (Candles, Heikin Ashi, Line and Renko) and time frame.
2. Set the “Offset” value. Default value is -1.
3. Set the “Time Coefficient 1” to “Time Coefficient 4”. Default values are 2, 3, 4 and 5.
Bullish/Bearish Candle Series DistributionThe tool counts the number of consecutive bullish or bearish candles in a row and build a distribution of those series lengths. The entire history of an instrument is used.
Available modes:
Strict Bullish ( close > open )
Bullish ( close >= open )
Strict Bearish ( close <= open )
Bearish ( close < open )
Different chart types have different distributions:
Renko
Line Break
Why is it ok to backtest on TradingView from now on!TradingView backtester has bad reputation. For a good reason - it was producing wrong results, and it was clear at first sight how bad they were.
But this has changed. Along with many other improvements in its PineScript coding capabilities, TradingView fixed important bug, which was the main reason for miscalculations. TradingView didn't really speak out about this fix, so let me try :)
Have a look at this short code of a swing trading strategy (PLEASE DON'T FOCUS ON BACKTEST RESULTS ATTACHED HERE - THEY DO NOT MATTER). Sometimes entry condition happens together with closing condition for the already ongoing trade. Example: the condition to close Long entry is the same as a condition to enter Short. And when these two aligned, not only a Long was closed and Short was entered (as intended), but also a second Short was entered, too!!! What's even worse, that second short was not controlled with closing conditions inside strategy.exit() function and it very often lead to losses exceeding whatever was declared in "loss=" parameter. This could not have worked well...
But HOORAY!!! - it has been fixed and won't happen anymore. So together with other improvements - TradingView's backtester and PineScript is now ok to work with on standard candlesticks :)
Yep, no need to code strategies and backtest them on other platforms anymore.
----------------
Having said the above, there are still some pitfalls remaining, which you need to be aware of and avoid:
Don't backtest on HeikenAshi, Renko, Kagi candlesticks. They were not invented with backtesting in mind. There are still using wrong price levels for entries and therefore producing always too good backtesting results. Only standard candlesticks are reliable to backtest on.
Don't use Trailing Stop in your code. TradingView operates only on closed candlesticks, not on tick data and because of that, backtester will always assume price has first reached its favourable extreme (so 'high' when you are in Long trade and 'low' when you are in Short trade) before it starts to pull back. Which is rarely the truth in reality. Therefore strategies using Trailing Stop are also producing too good backtesting results. It is especially well visible on higher timeframe strategies - for some reason your strategy manages to make gains on those huge, fat candlesticks :) But that's not reality.
"when=" inside strategy.exit() does not work as you would intuitively expect. If you want to have logical condition to close your trade (for example - crossover(rsi(close,14),20)) you need to place it inside strategy.close() function. And leave StopLoss + TakeProfit conditions inside strategy.exit() function. Just as in attached code.
If you're working with pyramiding, add "process_orders_on_close=ANY" to your strategy() script header. Default setting ("=FIFO") will first close the trade, which was opened first, not the one which was hit by Stop-Loss condidtion.
----------------
That's it, I guess :) If you are noticing other issues with backtester and would like to share, let everyone know in comments. If the issue is indeed a bug, there is a chance TradingView dev team will hear your voice and take it into account when working on other improvements. Just like they heard about the bug I described above.
P.S. I know for a fact that more improvements in the backtesting area are coming. Some will change the game even for non-coding traders. If you want to be notified quickly and with my comment - gimme "follow".

This is not the "Holy Grail", so use a proper risk management strategy.
This script will let you backtest how the indicator will perform on any chart and timeframe you may like to test and/or trade. Of course results will be very different depending on the chart and timeframe you will open.

Dekidaka-Ashi - Candles And Volume Teaming Up (Again)The introduction of candlestick methods for market price data visualization might be one of the most important events in the history of technical analysis, as it totally changed the way to see a trading chart. Candlestick charts are extremely efficient, as they allow the trader to visualize the opening, high, low and closing price (OHLC) each at the same time, something impossible with a traditional line chart. Candlesticks are also cleaner than bars charts and make a more efficient use of space. Japanese peoples are always better than everyone at an incredible amount of stuff, look at what they made, the candlesticks/renko/kagi/heikin-ashi charts, the Ichimoku, manga, ecchi...
However classical candlesticks only include historical market price data, and won't include other type of data such as volume, which is considered by many investors a key information toward effective financial forecasting as volume is an indicator of trading activity. In order to tackle to this problem solutions where proposed, the most common one being to adapt the width of the candle based on the amount of volume, this method is the most commonly accepted one when it comes to visualizing both volume and OHLC data using candlesticks.
Now why proposing an additional tool for volume data visualization ? Because the classical width approach don't provide usable data regarding volume (as the width is directly related to the volume data). Therefore a new trading tool based on candlesticks that allow the trader to gain access to information about the volume is proposed. The approach is based on rescaling the volume directly to the price without the direct use of user settings. We will also see that this tool allow to create support and resistances as well as providing signals based on a breakout methodology.
Dekidaka-Ashi - Kakatte Koi Yo!
"Dekidaka" (出来高) mean "Volume" in a financial context, while "Ashi" (足) mean "leg" or "bar". In general methods based on candlesticks will have "Ashi" in their name.
Now that the name of the indicator has been explained lets see how it works, the indicator should be overlayed directly to a candlestick chart. The proposed method don't alter the shape of the candlesticks and allow to visualize any information given by the candles. As you can see on the figure below the candle body of the proposed tool only return the border of the candle, this allow to show the high/low wick of the candle.
The body size of the candle is based on two things : the absolute close/open difference, and the volume, if the absolute close/open difference is high and the volume is high then the body of the candle will be clearly visible, if the volume is high but the absolute close/open difference is low, then the body will be less visible. This approach is used because of the rescaling method used, the volume is divided by the sum between the current volume value and the precedent volume value, this rescale the volume in a (0,1) range, this result is multiplied by the absolute close/open difference and added/subtracted to the high/low price. The original approach was based on normalization using the rolling maximum, but this approach would have led to repainting.
You have access to certain settings that can help you obtain a better visualization, the first one being the body size setting, with higher values increasing the body amplitude.
In green body with size 2, in red with size 1. The smooth parameter will smooth the volume data before being used, this allow to create more visible bodies.
Here smooth = 100.
Making Bands From The Dekidaka-Ashi
This tool is made so it output two rescaled volume values, with the highest value being denoted as "Dekidaka-high" and the lowest one as "Dekidaka-low". In order to get bands we must use two moving averages, one using the Dekidaka-high as input and the other one using Dekidaka-low, the body size parameter should be fairly high, therefore i will hide the tool as it could cause trouble visualizing the bands.
Bands with both MA's of period 20 and the body size equal to 20. Larger periods of the MA's will require a larger amount of body size.
Breakout Signals
There is a wide variety of signals that can be made from candles, ones i personally like comes from the HA candles. The proposed tool is no exception and can produce a wide variety of signals. The signals generated are basic ones based on a breakout methodology, here is each signal with their associated label :
Strong Bullish signal "⇈" : The high price cross the Dekidaka-high and the closing price is greater than the opening price
Strong Bearish signal "⇊" : The low price cross the Dekidaka-low and the closing price is lower than the opening price
Weak Bullish signal "↑" : The high price cross the Dekidaka-high and the closing price is lower than the opening price
Weak Bearish signal "↓" : The low price cross the Dekidaka-low and the closing price is greater than the opening price
Uncertain "↕" : The high price cross the Dekidaka-high and the low price cross the the Dekidaka-low
In order to see the signals on the chart check the "Show signals" option. Note that such signals are not based on an advanced study, and even if they are based on a breakout methodology we can see that volatile movement rarely produce signals, therefore signals mostly occur during low volume/volatility periods, which isn't necessarily a great thing.
Conclusion
A trading tool based on candlesticks that aim to include volume information has been presented and a brief methodology has been introduced. A study of the signals generated is required, however i'am not confident at all on their accuracy, i could work on that in the future. We have also seen how to make bands from the tool.
Candlesticks remain a beautiful charting technique that can provide an enormous amount of information to the trader, and even if the accuracy of patterns based on candlesticks is subject to debates, we can all agree that candlesticks will remain the most widely used type of financial chart.
On a side note i mostly use a dark color for a bullish candle, and a light gray for a bearish candle, with the border color being of the same color as the bullish candle. This is in my opinion the best setup for a candlestick chart, as candles using the traditional green/red can kill the eyes and because this setup allow to apply a wide variety of colors to the plot of overlayed indicators without the fear of causing conflict with the candles color.
Thanks for reading ! :3 Nya
A Word
This morning i received some hateful messages on twitter, the users behind them certainly coming from tradingview, so lets be clear, i know i'am not the most liked person in this community, i know that perfectly, but no one merit to be receive hateful messages. I'am not responsible for the losses of peoples using my indicators, nor is tradingview, using technical indicators does not guarantee long term returns, your ability to be profitable will mostly be based on the quality and quantity of knowledge you have.
Trend Artificial Intelligence Hello Everybody,
One thing that is important to understand is that every strategy needs to be tuned: for underlying, exchange, time frame etc.
There are so many indicators and tools ( moving average, Renko, RSI etc etc...) well proven and accepted by traders but you pick any of them and apply to any underlying it will not work. Why because they need to be tuned to specific factors.
This strategy is tuned using Artificial Intelligence models for Oanda Exchange for Euro/USD currency with time frame of 1 min ( this is very important)
Don't trust me check out its performance and you will know. Getting 10-20% return per month is not impossible.
Point and Figure (PnF) Weis Wave VolumeThis is live and non-repainting Point and Figure Chart Weis Wave Volume tool. The script has it’s own P&F engine and not using integrated function of Trading View.
Point and Figure method is over 150 years old. It consist of columns that represent filtered price movements. Time is not a factor on P&F chart but as you can see with this script P&F chart created on time chart.
P&F chart provide several advantages, some of them are filtering insignificant price movements and noise, focusing on important price movements and making support/resistance levels much easier to identify.
This tool is based on the Weis Wave described by David H. Weis (a Wyckoff specialist). The Weis Waves Indicator sums up volumes in each wave. This is how we receive a bar chart of cumulative volumes of alternating waves and The cumulative volume makes the Weis wave charts unique.
If there is no volume information for the security then this tool has an option to use “True Range” instead of volume .
If you are new to Point & Figure Chart then you better get some information about it before using this tool. There are very good web sites and books. Please PM me if you need help about resources.

Box size is one of the most important part of Point and Figure Charting. Chart price movement sensitivity is determined by the Point and Figure scale. Large box sizes see little movement across a specific price region, small box sizes see greater price movement on P&F chart. There are four different box scaling with this tool: Traditional, Percentage, Dynamic (ATR), or User-Defined
4 different methods for Box size can be used in this tool.
User Defined: The box size is set by user. A larger box size will result in more filtered price movements and fewer reversals. A smaller box size will result in less filtered price movements and more reversals.
ATR: Box size is dynamically calculated by using ATR, default period is 20.
Percentage: uses box sizes that are a fixed percentage of the stock's price. If percentage is 1 and stock’s price is $100 then box size will be $1
Traditional: uses a predefined table of price ranges to determine what the box size should be.
Price Range Box Size

25000 and up 500.0
Default value is “ATR”, you may use one of these scaling method that suits your trading strategy.
If ATR or Percentage is chosen then there is rounding algorithm according to mintick value of the security. For example if mintick value is 0.001 and box size (ATR/Percentage) is 0.00124 then box size becomes 0.001.
And also while using dynamic box size (ATR or Percentage), box size changes only when closing price changed.
Reversal : It is the number of boxes required to change from a column of Xs to a column of Os or from a column of Os to a column of Xs. Default value is 3 (most used). For example if you choose reversal = 2 then you get the chart similar to Renko chart.
Source: Closing price or High-Low prices can be chosen as data source for P&F charting.
There is only one option for Weis Wave Volume, “Use True Range (if no Volume info)” if you select this option and volume info is not avaliable then it uses “true range”, but if volume info is available, it never use true range. Default value is set to use true range.

Commodity Channel Index – CCI was developed by Donalt Lambert. CCI can be used to identify overbought or oversold, a new trend or warn of extreme conditions. CCI measures the difference between a security's price change and its average price change. High positive readings indicate that prices are well above their average, which is a show of strength. Low negative readings indicate that prices are well below their average, which is a show of weakness.
The Formula for the Commodity Channel Index ( CCI ) Is:
CCI = (Typical Price – L-period SMA of TP) / (0.015 * Mean Deviation)
Mean Deviation = (SumOf 1->L ( |TP – MA| )) / L
L = Length
TP = Typical Price

P&F Bollinger Bands is calculated and shown by using its own P&F engine. Because of Point and Figure Chart Moving averages are already smoothed, better to use smaller moving average periods, 5 or 10 etc. This period can be chosen by prives movements and characteristics. You can see the consolidation areas and with P&F Breakout signals it’s possible to see the direction. Narrowing bands indicate a consolidation and narrowing does not provide a direction clue. You must look for the next P&F signal to establish direction. But beware of the ‘head fake’. This occurs when prices break a band, then suddenly reverse and move the other way (Trap).
An example for Head Fake:

Default value is “ATR”, you may use one of these scaling method that suits your trading strategy.
If ATR or Percentage is chosen then there is rounding algorithm according to mintick value of the security. For example if mintick value is 0.001 and box size (ATR/Percentage) is 0.00124 then box size becomes 0.001.
And also while using dynamic box size (ATR or Percentage), box size changes only when closing price changed.
Reversal : It is the number of boxes required to change from a column of Xs to a column of Os or from a column of Os to a column of Xs. Default value is 3 (most used). For example if you choose reversal = 2 then you get the chart similar to Renko chart.
