Automatic Fibonacci Retracement + Golden Ratio | by Octopu$👑 Automatic Fibonacci Retracement on Specific Timeframes + Golden Ratio | by Octopu$
Fibonacci Retracement is a method of technical analysis for determining support and resistance levels.
It is named after the famous Fibonacci sequence of numbers: 23.6%, 38.2%, 61.8%, and 78.6%
These ratios provide price levels to which markets tend to retrace a portion of a move.
Also used as a potential spot before a trend continues (or reverses) original direction.
While not officially a Fibonacci ratio, 50% is also used.
Fibonacci Levels can be drawn between any two significant price points or time frames.
(Such as a High and a Low or also on Daily and Weekly charts)
The indicator will then Automatically create the levels between those selected points.
Golden ratio, also known as the divine proportion, in mathematics, is the irrational number:
(1 + Square root of√5)/2, often denoted by the Greek letter ϕ or τ
Which is approximately equal to 1.618.
(Two quantities are in the golden ratio if their ratio is the same as the ratio of their sum to the larger of the two quantities.)
That's The Magic of the Fibonaccis, as well the Golden Ratio itself.
And this is exactly where this Indicator by Octopu$ kicks in:
This indicator Automatically sets all the Fibonacci Levels within the Retracement selected.
On top of that, it Highlights the Golden Ratio for the Fibonacci Levels drawn.
Additionally, it sets the Golden Ratio as possible Support or Resistance level,
Doing so by having visual identification to the Up or Down side.
This changes the game! Along with Price Action, Trend Direction, Chart Analysis and other Indicators as well.
(The combination relies on your own knowledge about Confluence Factors along with your Due Diligence)

Engulfing Candles (Bullish and Bearish) + Trend | by Octopu$⛳ Engulfing Candles (Bullish and Bearish ) with Trend Recognition | by Octopu$
This Indicator identifies and plots Engulfing Candlestick Patterns.
Engulfing Candles are a combination of two bars on a price chart.
They are used to indicate/anticipate a market reversal.
The second candlestick must be bigger than the first, so it 'engulfs' the previous bar.
This indicator identifies both Price Movements:
Bullish stands for Upside
Bearish stands for Downside
These are NOT entry/exit signals to buy or sell securities*

Donchian Channels with Limits and Shadows | by Octopu$ 🌊 Donchian Channels with Middle Line, Limits and Shadows | by Octopu$
Donchian Channels are three lines generated by Moving Average calculations.
These lines formed by upper and lower bands around a midrange or median band.
The Upper Band marks the Highest price of a security over X periods of time.
While the Lower Band marks the Lowest price over the same period.
Now, the Limit bands are the High and Low prices over a Y period of time (different than X)
The difference about using Limits with the Bands on Donchian Channels is the time length:
By using different time comparisons (X and Y) you are able to identify previous Highs and Lows.
This is very useful for Support and Resistance levels regarding the Price Action
As well as Pivot Points, considering the possibility off Breakouts or Bounces.
Usually - as a General Rule - the Price tends to navigate in-between these channels
That's where DC Channels + Limits w/ Shadows come into play!
Highs and Lows serve as Supply and Demand Zones as well.
The Middle Line can be used as a spot for Reversal/Continuation.
All of this also makes the Donchian Channels a great tool for Trend Identification.

Mind the GAP! (Automatic Intraday GAP Overnight) | by Octopu$🤏 Mind the GAP! (Automatic Intraday GAP Overnight) | by Octopu$
Gaps are areas on a chart where the price of a stock moves sharply up or down, with little or no trading in between.
When it happens overnight (not considering Extended Hours), it is just considered as Price Level, for possible revisit.
A Gap is defined when the Open current Candle is Higher or Lower than the Close of the Last Candle:
When the Open of the current Candle is Higher than the Close of the Last Candle it is considered a Gap UP;
When the Open of the current Candle is Lower than the Close of the Last Candle it is considered a Gap DOWN;
Something interesting about Gap is that:
1. The Price Action can travel fast between these levels (Volatility);
2. One (or both) of these levels (Hi/Lo) can act as Support (or Breakout);
3. One (or both) of these levels (Hi/Lo) can act as Resistance (or Breakout).
This Indicator includes these Gaps added Automatically to your Chart.
It is also built-in with a Shadow between the lines for easy visualization.
Colors are also customizable and the Lines are also editable according t your preferences.
Any Time Frame. Any Ticker.

⚖ Volume BUYxSELL Pressure | by Octopu$⚖ Volume BUYxSELL Pressure | by Octopu$
Volume is the number of shares traded in a particular stock, index, or other investment over a specific period of time.
It can indicate market strength, as rising markets on increasing volume are typically viewed as strong and healthy.
In fact, the more, the better. Institutions tend to get more involved in a stock with daily dollar volume in the hundreds of millions or more
But also, when prices fall on increasing volume, the trend is gathering strength to the downside.
That's where BUYxSELL Pressure | by Octopu$ comes in.
Typically, Volume bars follow the candles.
If the Candle is Green (Close > Open), the Volume Bar is also Green.
Now if the Candle is Red (Close < Open) the Volume Bar is also Red.
You never know if it is being Bought or Sold.
This changes the game: along with Price Action, Trend Direction, and other factors. This is possible!
This indicator is composed of:
Volume itself (all of it), displayed by Gray bars;
Identifies Buying Pressure on Green Bars;
And Selling Pressure with Red Bars.
Volume Average as a White Line, for the last "X" Days
Additionally,
It presents a Yellow Triangle as and indication of when the Volume is above the Average in the current TF you are in.
Additionally, this can be set up via an Input: Means if you like to watch it 10% above Average, you got it. 25%? 50%?... You name it.
On top of that,
Includes an indication for Volume Spike as well. So if informs you visually on the Volume Bars of any surges on the TF you are in.
For example: 2x the Volume from the last Candle. Or maybe 3x? 5x... The way you like it the best.
This way, with the combination of your understanding as well as other Indicator and Factor as Confluence, you can improve your analysis and figure out what is going on.

FANGMANT Performance TableThis is a simple performance table for QQQ, SPY and the main FANGMANT stocks shown left to right by current order of weighting.
Importantly, the performance is intraday from session open time.
It is NOT a daily change - credit to ShadowTrader for this distinction.
Credit also to PineCoders for their string manipluation instructions for Pine Script.
Each of the 12 symbols in the table can be set by the user.
For publication purposes I have included QQQ, SPY, VXN and TNX as these are all relevant to Nasdaq performance too
The table can be placed Top or Bottom, Left or Right
The user will need to set the cell width and height and transparency and bulilsh/bearish colors to best suit their own displays.
There are two color gradients built in to help illustrate which symbols are leading or lagging
I will also publish one for the SPY sectors that will otherwise be very similar to this
NEXT Stochastic 3xVW (Triple Volume Weighted)Overview:
This responsive version of the Stochastic oscillator modifies and extends the original to incorporate volume. It does so on 2 levels: by using Volume-Weighted Moving Average (VWMA) as input and applying a triple volume weighting filter within the internal algorithm, intelligently blending volume with what is otherwise pure momentum/distribution analysis. The result is more binary-like curve behavior (%K and %D oscillator lines), whose polarizing movement acts as both a signal and filter.
Below is a screenshot comparing NEXT Stochastic 3xVW with default settings to the original Stochastic oscillator on NQ M1 chart.
Application and Strategy Ideas:
NEXT Stochastic 3xVW is intended to be used like the original Stochastic oscillator within the context of technical analysis: identifying overvalued (above upper limit) and undervalued (below lower limit) price action, as well as establishing a bias baseline (bullish if over 50; bearish if under 50). Higher NEXT Stochastic 3xVW bottoms compared to lower price bottoms signify bullish divergence; lower NEXT Stochastic 3xVW tops compared to higher price tops signify bearish divergence. Trading %K/%D line crossing is also a popular strategy, with %K crossing over %D indicating bullish sentiment and %K crossing under %D indicating bearish sentiment.
Below is a screenshot showing NEXT Stochastic 3xVW overbought/oversold intraday strategy on SPY M1 chart. NEXT Stochastic 3xVW is set to 5,10,1,3 with long signal issued at lower limit of 30 and short at upper limit of 70.
Input Parameters:
VWMA Length - controls the averaging length of the volume-weighted moving average (based on close price and volume); used as Stochastic input
%K Length - volume-driven averaging length of the %K oscillator line - this is the faster of the two Stochastic lines
%K Smoothing - volume-driven smoothing factor of the %K line
%D Smoothing - volume-driven averaging length of the %D oscillator line (a %K derivative, post smoothing) - this is the slower of the two Stochastic lines
Upper Limit - the NEXT Stochastic 3xVW level above which market is considered overbought, default is 80
Base Bias - the NEXT Stochastic 3xVW level above which market bias is considered bullish, and below bearish
Lower Limit - the NEXT Stochastic 3xVW level below which market is considered oversold, default is 20
Signals and Alerts:
Discover and visualize NEXT Stochastic 3xVW strategies using the companion NEXT Strategy Visualizer indicator. While the %K/%D cross alerts can be set via NEXT Stochastic 3xVW indicator, the Strategy Visualizer will only plot long/short signals when %K or %D cross over or under overbought/oversold levels (as hown in the above SPY M1 screenshot). That being said, the next version of the Strategy Visualizer will also support %K/%D crosses.
Here is how to set NEXT Stochastic 3xVW %K/%D crossing alerts: open a chart, attach NEXT Stochastic 3xVW, and right-click on chart -> Add Alert. Condition: Next Stochastic >> %K >> Crossing >> Next Stochastic >> %D
Waindrops [Makit0]█ OVERALL
Plot waindrops (custom volume profiles) on user defined periods, for each period you get high and low, it slices each period in half to get independent vwap, volume profile and the volume traded per price at each half.
It works on intraday charts only, up to 720m (12H). It can plot balanced or unbalanced waindrops, and volume profiles up to 24H sessions.
As example you can setup unbalanced periods to get independent volume profiles for the overnight and cash sessions on the futures market, or 24H periods to get the full session volume profile of EURUSD
The purpose of this indicator is twofold:
1 — from a Chartist point of view, to have an indicator which displays the volume in a more readable way
2 — from a Pine Coder point of view, to have an example of use for two very powerful tools on Pine Script:
• the recently updated drawing limit to 500 (from 50)
• the recently ability to use drawings arrays (lines and labels)
If you are new to Pine Script and you are learning how to code, I hope you read all the code and comments on this indicator, all is designed for you,
the variables and functions names, the sometimes too big explanations, the overall structure of the code, all is intended as an example on how to code
in Pine Script a specific indicator from a very good specification in form of white paper
If you wanna learn Pine Script form scratch just start HERE
In case you have any kind of problem with Pine Script please use some of the awesome resources at our disposal: USRMAN , REFMAN , AWESOMENESS , MAGIC
█ FEATURES
Waindrops are a different way of seeing the volume and price plotted in a chart, its a volume profile indicator where you can see the volume of each price level
plotted as a vertical histogram for each half of a custom period. By default the period is 60 so it plots an independent volume profile each 30m
You can think of each waindrop as an user defined candlestick or bar with four key values:
• high of the period
• low of the period
• left vwap (volume weighted average price of the first half period)
• right vwap (volume weighted average price of the second half period)
The waindrop can have 3 different colors (configurable by the user):
• GREEN: when the right vwap is higher than the left vwap (bullish sentiment )
• RED: when the right vwap is lower than the left vwap (bearish sentiment )
• BLUE: when the right vwap is equal than the left vwap ( neutral sentiment )
KEY FEATURES
• Help menu
• Custom periods
• Central bars
• Left/Right VWAPs
• Custom central bars and vwaps: color and pixels
• Highly configurable volume histogram: execution window, ticks, pixels, color, update frequency and fine tuning the neutral meaning
• Volume labels with custom size and color
• Tracking price dot to be able to see the current price when you hide your default candlesticks or bars
█ SETTINGS
Click here or set any impar period to see the HELP INFO : show the HELP INFO, if it is activated the indicator will not plot

█ LIMITS
This indicator only works on intraday charts (minutes only) up to 12H (720m), the lower chart timeframe you can use is 1m
This indicator needs price, time and volume to work, it will not work on an index (there is no volume), the execution will not be allowed
The histogram (volume profile) can be plotted on 24H sessions as limit but you can plot several 24H sessions
█ ERRORS AND PERFORMANCE
Depending on the choosed settings, the script performance will be highly affected and it will experience errors
Two of the more common errors it can throw are:
• Calculation takes too long to execute
• Loop takes too long
The indicator performance is highly related to the underlying volatility (tick wise), the script takes each candlestick or bar and for each tick in it stores the price and volume, if the ticker in your chart has thousands and thousands of ticks per bar the indicator will throw an error for sure, it can not calculate in time such amount of ticks.
What all of that means? Simply put, this will throw error on the BITCOIN pair BTCUSD (high volatility with tick size 0.01) because it has too many ticks per bar, but lucky you it will work just fine on the futures contract BTC1! (tick size 5) because it has a lot less ticks per bar
There are some options you can fine tune to boost the script performance, the more demanding option in terms of resources consumption is Updates per period , by default is maxed out so lowering this setting will improve the performance in a high way.
If you wanna know more about how to improve the script performance, read the HELP INFO accessible from the settings panel
█ HOW-TO SETUP
The basic parameters to adjust are Period size , Ticks per bar and Pixels per bar
• Period size is the main setting, defines the waindrop size, to get a better looking histogram set bigger period and smaller chart timeframe
• Ticks per bar is the tricky one, adjust it differently for each underlying (ticker) volatility wise, for some you will need a low value, for others a high one.
To get a more accurate histogram set it as lower as you can (min value is 1)
• Pixels per bar allows you to adjust the width of each histogram bar, with it you can adjust the blank space between them or allow overlaping
You must play with these three parameters until you obtain the desired histogram: smoother, sharper, etc...
These are some of the different kind of charts you can setup thru the settings:
• Balanced Waindrops (default): charts with waindrops where the two halfs are of same size.
This is the default chart, just select a period (30m, 60m, 120m, 240m, pick your poison), adjust the histogram ticks and pixels and watch
• Unbalanced Waindrops: chart with waindrops where the two halfs are of different sizes.
Do you trade futures and want to plot a waindrop with the first half for the overnight session and the second half for the cash session? you got it;
just adjust the period to 1860 for any CME ticker (like ES1! for example) adjust the histogram ticks and pixels and watch
• Full Session Volume Profile: chart with waindrops where only the first half plots.
Do you use Volume profile to analize the market? Lucky you, now you can trick this one to plot it, just try a period of 780 on SPY, 2760 on ES1!, or 2880 on EURUSD
remember to adjust the histogram ticks and pixels for each underlying
• Only Bars: charts with only central and vwap bars plotted, simply deactivate the histogram and volume labels
• Only Histogram: charts with only the histogram plotted (volume profile charts), simply deactivate the bars and volume labels
• Only Volume: charts with only the raw volume numbers plotted, simply deactivate the bars and histogram
If you wanna know more about custom full session periods for different asset classes, read the HELP INFO accessible from the settings panel
EXAMPLES
Full Session Volume Profile on MES 5m chart:
Full Session Unbalanced Waindrop on MNQ 2m chart (left side Overnight session, right side Cash Session):
The following examples will have the exact same charts but on four different tickers representing a futures contract, a forex pair, an etf and a stock.
We are doing this to be able to see the different parameters we need for plotting the same kind of chart on different assets
The chart composition is as follows:
• Left side: Volume Labels chart (period 10)
• Upper Right side: Waindrops (period 60)
• Lower Right side: Full Session Volume Profile
The first example will specify the main parameters, the rest of the charts will have only the differences
MES :
• Left: Period size: 10, Bars: uncheck, Histogram: uncheck, Execution window: 1, Ticks per bar: 2, Updates per period: EACH BAR,
Pixels per bar: 4, Volume labels: check, Track price: check
• Upper Right: Period size: 60, Bars: check, Bars color mode: HISTOGRAM, Histogram: check, Execution window: 2, Ticks per bar: 2,
Updates per period: EACH BAR, Pixels per bar: 4, Volume labels: uncheck, Track price: check
• Lower Right: Period size: 2760, Bars: uncheck, Histogram: check, Execution window: 1, Ticks per bar: 1, Updates per period: EACH BAR,

Buy in Bollinger Band uptrend (Weekly and Daily) // © PlanTradePlanMM 6/14/2020
// ---------------------------------------------------
// Name: Buy in Bollinger Band uptrend (Weekly and Daily)
// ---------------------------------------------------
// Key Points in this study:
// 1. Long in BB Upper band, probability of price going up is more than 50%
// 2. Buy at the bottom 1/4 of upper band (Upper line - EMA), Stop is EMA, tartget is Upper line; it matches risk:reward=1:3;
//
// Draw Lines:
// BB Upper : is the Target (Black line)
// BB EMA : is the initial Stop (Black line)
// BuyLine : EMA20 + 1/4 of (Target-Stop), which matches risk:/reward=1:3 naturally
// Prepare Zone : between EMA and BuyLine
// buyPrice : Blue dot line only showing when has long position, Which shows entry price.
// StopPrice : Black dot line only showing when has long position, Which shows updated stop price.
//
// Add SMA(50) to filter the trend. Price >= SMA, allow to long
//
// What (Condition): in BB uptrend band
// When (Price action): Price cross over BuyLine;
// How (Trading Plan): Buy at BuyLine;
// Initial Stop is EMA;
// Initial Target is BB Upper Line;
//
// FollowUp: if price moves up first, and the EMA is higher than Entry point, Use EMA as new stop. At least "make even" in this trade;
//
// Exit: 1. Initial stop -- "Stop" when down first, close below stop price.
// 2. Target reached -- "TR" when up quickly, Target reached
// 3. make even -- "ME" when small up and down, Exit at entry Price
// 4. Small Winner -- "SM" when EMA above Entry price, Exit when close below EMA, and higher than entry Price
//
// --------------
// Because there are too many flags in up trend study already, I will create a down trend script separately.
// Uptrend study is good for SPY, QQQ, and strong stocks.
// Downtrend Study is good for weak ETF, stock, and (-2x, -3x) ETFs, such as FAZ, UVXY, USO, XOP, AAL, CCL
// -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Back test Weekly and daily chart for SPY, QQQ
// If it will be a big Gap down or a big down move, stop at close price could be a big loss; But this way could avoid may noise, to stay in a trending position longer.
// When buy in trending move, the position could be hold for a big range.
// The best samples are SPY and QQQ daily chart.
//
// Better to use another way to verify the long term up trend first.
// For single stock, it is better shows more relative strength than SPY.

Ergodic Market Divergence (EMD)Ergodic Market Divergence (EMD)
Bridging Statistical Physics and Market Dynamics Through Ensemble Analysis
The Revolutionary Concept: When Physics Meets Trading
After months of research into ergodic theory—a fundamental principle in statistical mechanics—I've developed a trading system that identifies when markets transition between predictable and unpredictable states. This indicator doesn't just follow price; it analyzes whether current market behavior will persist or revert, giving traders a scientific edge in timing entries and exits.
The Core Innovation: Ergodic Theory Applied to Markets
What Makes Markets Ergodic or Non-Ergodic?
In statistical physics, ergodicity determines whether a system's future resembles its past. Applied to trading:
Ergodic Markets (Mean-Reverting)
- Time averages equal ensemble averages
- Historical patterns repeat reliably
- Price oscillates around equilibrium
- Traditional indicators work well
Non-Ergodic Markets (Trending)
- Path dependency dominates
- History doesn't predict future
- Price creates new equilibrium levels
- Momentum strategies excel
The Mathematical Framework
The Ergodic Score combines three critical divergences:
Ergodic Score = (Price Divergence × Market Stress + Return Divergence × 1000 + Volatility Divergence × 50) / 3
Where:
Price Divergence: How far current price deviates from market consensus
Return Divergence: Momentum differential between instrument and market
Volatility Divergence: Volatility regime misalignment
Market Stress: Adaptive multiplier based on current conditions
The Ensemble Analysis Revolution
Beyond Single-Instrument Analysis
Traditional indicators analyze one chart in isolation. EMD monitors multiple correlated markets simultaneously (SPY, QQQ, IWM, DIA) to detect systemic regime changes. This ensemble approach:
Reveals Hidden Divergences: Individual stocks may diverge from market consensus before major moves
Filters False Signals: Requires broader market confirmation
Identifies Regime Shifts: Detects when entire market structure changes
Provides Context: Shows if moves are isolated or systemic
Dynamic Threshold Adaptation
Unlike fixed-threshold systems, EMD's boundaries evolve with market conditions:
Base Threshold = SMA(Ergodic Score, Lookback × 3)
Adaptive Component = StDev(Ergodic Score, Lookback × 2) × Sensitivity
Final Threshold = Smoothed(Base + Adaptive)
This creates context-aware signals that remain effective across different market environments.
The Confidence Engine: Know Your Signal Quality
Multi-Factor Confidence Scoring
Every signal receives a confidence score based on:
Signal Clarity (0-35%): How decisively the ergodic threshold is crossed
Momentum Strength (0-25%): Rate of ergodic change

Custom Sector Relative Strength (sector rotation)📌 Indicator Summary for “Custom Sector Relative Strength (sector rotation)”
🔹 Overview:
This Pine Script indicator calculates and displays the relative strength performance of up to 25 customizable sectors or ETFs compared to a user-defined benchmark index (e.g., SPY, TASI.TAD, etc.).
It helps traders and analysts identify which sectors are outperforming or underperforming relative to the benchmark over different time frames.
________________________________________
🔹 Calculation Method:
For each sector, the indicator:
1. Retrieves the current and past closing prices for both the sector and the benchmark.
2. Computes the ratio of the sector's price to the benchmark at both time points.
3. Calculates the percentage change in this ratio over the selected lookback period:
4. Relative Strength (%) = ((Current_Ratio / Past_Ratio) - 1) * 100
5. Assigns a direction symbol:
o ↑ for positive outperformance
o ↓ for underperformance
o → for no significant change
6. Applies a color code for clarity:
o Green for ↑
o Red for ↓
o Gray for →
________________________________________
🔹 How to Use:
1. Set your benchmark index (e.g., SPY or TASI.TAD) from the settings panel.
2. Choose a lookback period: 1 Day, 1 Week, 1 Month, 3 Months, 6 Months, or 1 Year.
3. Define up to 25 sectors:
o Enter the symbol and name of each sector.
o Toggle the Show option on/off to include/exclude any sector.
4. The script will sort the sectors from strongest to weakest based on their relative performance.
5. Results are displayed in a dynamic table on the chart showing:

Sector Relative StrengthDescription
This script compares sector performance relative to the S&P 500. Sector price levels or charts alone can mislead, because they tend to move with the broader market. An increase in a sector’s price does not necessarily indicate strength, as it may simply be following the index.
For more a more reliable picture, the script calculates a ratio between each sector ETF and SPY. If the ratio has increased, the sector has outperformed the index. In case it has declined, the sector has underperformed. If the value is near zero, the sector has moved in line with the index. The sectors are presented in a table and sorted on relative performance.
Calculation Method
The performance is expressed as a percentage change in the ratio over a user-defined lookback period. The default lookback is set to 21 bars, which corresponds to one month on a daily chart. This value can be adopted in the settings to match preferred time period.
Z-Score
In addition to the percentage change, the script calculates a Z-score of the ratio, which measures how far the current value deviates from its recent mean. A high positive Z-score indicates that the ratio is significantly above its average, while a negative value indicates it is below. This normalization allows for comparison between sectors with different price levels or volatility profiles.
Table Columns
- Relative %: The sector's performance relative to SPY over the selected lookback period
- Z-Score: Standardized measure of current performance ratio is relative to its average
- Trend Arrow: Indicates the direction of relative performance up down or flat
Example Interpretation
For example, if XLK shows a 3.7% change, it has outperformed SPY over the selected period. Another sector might show a -2.1% change, which indicates underperformance. While both values shows relative strength or weakness, the Z-score is optional and can provide additional context based on how unusual that performance is compared to the sector's own recent behavior.
Use Case
This approach helps evaluate overall market conditions and supports a top-down method. By starting with sector performance, it becomes easier to identify where the market is showing leadership or weakness. This allows the stock selection process to be more deliberate and can help refine or customize screeners based on certain sectors.
Multi-Timeframe Continuity Custom Candle ConfirmationMulti-Timeframe Continuity Custom Candle Confirmation
Overview
The Timeframe Continuity Indicator is a versatile tool designed to help traders identify alignment between their current chart’s candlestick direction and higher timeframes of their choice. By coloring bars on the current chart (e.g., 1-minute) based on the directional alignment with selected higher timeframes (e.g., 10-minute, daily), this indicator provides a visual cue for confirming trends across multiple timeframes—a concept known as Timeframe Continuity. This approach is particularly useful for day traders, swing traders, and scalpers looking to ensure their trades align with broader market trends, reducing the risk of trading against the prevailing momentum.
Originality and Usefulness
This indicator is an original creation, built from scratch to address a common challenge in trading: ensuring that price action on a lower timeframe aligns with the trend on higher timeframes. Unlike many trend-following indicators that rely on moving averages, oscillators, or other lagging metrics, this script directly compares the bullish or bearish direction of candlesticks across timeframes. It introduces the following unique features:
Customizable Timeframes: Users can select from a range of higher timeframes (5m, 10m, 15m, 30m, 1h, 2h, 4h, 1d, 1w, 1M) to check for alignment, making it adaptable to various trading styles.
Neutral Candle Handling: The script accounts for neutral candles (where close == open) on the current timeframe by allowing them to inherit the direction of the higher timeframe, ensuring continuity in trend visualization.
Table: A table displays the direction of each selected timeframe and the current timeframe, helping identify direction in the event you don't want to color bars.
Toggles for Flexibility: Options to disable bar coloring and the debug table allow users to customize the indicator’s visual output for cleaner charts or focused analysis.
This indicator is not a mashup of existing scripts but a purpose-built tool to visualize timeframe alignment directly through candlestick direction, offering traders a straightforward way to confirm trend consistency.
What It Does
The Timeframe Continuity Indicator colors bars on your chart when the direction of the current timeframe’s candlestick (bullish, bearish, or neutral) aligns with the direction of the selected higher timeframes:
Lime: The current bar (e.g., 1m) is bullish or neutral, and all selected higher timeframes (e.g., 10m) are bullish.
Pink: The current bar is bearish or neutral, and all selected higher timeframes are bearish.
Default Color: If the directions don’t align (e.g., 1m bar is bearish but 10m is bullish), the bar remains the default chart color.
The indicator also includes a debug table (toggleable) that shows the direction of each selected timeframe and the current timeframe, helping traders diagnose alignment issues.
How It Works
The script uses the following methodology:
1. Direction Calculation: For each timeframe (current and selected higher timeframes), the script determines the candlestick’s direction:
Bullish (1): close > open / Bearish (-1): close < open / Neutral (0): close == open
Higher timeframe directions are fetched using Pine Script’s request.security function, ensuring accurate data retrieval.
2. Alignment Check: The script checks if all selected higher timeframes are uniformly bullish (full_bullish) or bearish (full_bearish).
o A higher timeframe must have a clear direction (bullish or bearish) to trigger coloring. If any selected timeframe is neutral, alignment fails, and no coloring occurs.
3. Coloring Logic: The current bar is colored only if its direction aligns with the higher timeframes:
Lime if the higher timeframes are bullish and the current bar is bullish or neutral.
Maroon if the higher timeframes are bearish and the current bar is bearish or neutral.
If the current bar’s direction opposes the higher timeframe (e.g., 1m bearish, 10m bullish), the bar remains uncolored.
Users can disable bar coloring entirely via the settings, leaving bars in their default chart color.
4. Direction Table:
A table in the top-right corner (toggleable) displays the direction of each selected timeframe and the current timeframe, using color-coded labels (green for bullish, red for bearish, gray for neutral).
This feature helps traders understand why a bar is or isn’t colored, making the indicator accessible to users unfamiliar with Pine Script.
How to Use
1. Add the Indicator: Add the "Timeframe Continuity Indicator" to your chart in TradingView (e.g., a 1m chart of SPY).
2. Configure Settings:
Timeframe Selection: Check the boxes for the higher timeframes you want to compare against (default: 10m). Options include 5m, 10m, 15m, 30m, 1h, 2h, 4h, 1D, 1W, and 1M. Select multiple timeframes if you want to ensure alignment across all of them (e.g., 10m and 1d).
Enable Bar Coloring: Default: true (bars are colored lime or maroon when aligned). Set to false to disable coloring and keep the default chart colors.
Show Table: Default: true (table is displayed in the top-right corner). Set to false to hide the table for a cleaner chart.
3. Interpret the Output:
Colored Bars: Lime bars indicate the current bar (e.g., 1m) is bullish or neutral, and all selected higher timeframes are bullish. Maroon bars indicate the current bar is bearish or neutral, and all selected higher timeframes are bearish. Uncolored bars (default chart color) indicate a mismatch (e.g., 1m bar is bearish while 10m is bullish) or no coloring if disabled.
Direction Table: Check the table to see the direction of each selected timeframe and the current timeframe.
4. Example Use Case:
On a 1m chart of SPY, select the 10m timeframe.
If the 10m timeframe is bearish, 1m bars that are bearish or neutral will color maroon, confirming you’re trading with the higher timeframe’s trend.
If a 1m bar is bullish while the 10m is bearish, it remains uncolored, signaling a potential misalignment to avoid trading.
Underlying Concepts
The indicator is based on the concept of Timeframe Continuity, a strategy used by traders to ensure that price action on a lower timeframe aligns with the trend on higher timeframes. This reduces the risk of entering trades against the broader market direction. The script directly compares candlestick directions (bullish, bearish, or neutral) rather than relying on lagging indicators like moving averages or RSI, providing a real-time, price-action-based confirmation of trend alignment. The handling of neutral candles ensures that minor indecision on the lower timeframe doesn’t interrupt the visualization of the higher timeframe’s trend.
Why This Indicator?
Simplicity: Directly compares candlestick directions, avoiding complex calculations or lagging indicators.
Flexibility: Customizable timeframes and toggles cater to various trading strategies.
Transparency: The debug table makes the indicator’s logic accessible to all users, not just those who can read Pine Script.
Practicality: Helps traders confirm trend alignment, a key factor in successful trading across timeframes.

TradeSmart Morning GloryThe Morning Glory Indicator by TradeSmart University is a pre-market volume visualization tool designed to help traders quickly assess the quality of a morning gap. By highlighting volume levels before the market opens, this indicator helps distinguish between a professional gap (likely to continue running) and a retail/news-driven gap (likely to fade or reverse).
💡 What It Does:
This indicator plots color-coded volume bars in the pre-market session and highlights when volume crosses two key thresholds:
Teal Bars – Low institutional interest
Yellow Bars – Medium institutional interest (100K+ volume)
Red Bars – High institutional interest (400K+ volume)
These thresholds are most effective on AMEX:SPY and other high-volume ETFs or stocks, but may be customized to fit your trading style. Consider using a 15-minute chart for the above settings.
🧠 How to Use It:
This indicator works best in conjunction with the Morning Glory Strategy and Qualified Trade Setup . On its own, the indicator gives a real-time read on pre-market strength , helping you:
Confirm gap-and-go setups (gap + high volume = likely continuation)
Fade the gap (gap + low volume = higher likelihood of reversal)
While the indicator focuses exclusively on volume, the full Morning Glory strategy adds an important price gap size filter to create powerful trade signals.
📊 Probabilities of Success (Based on Full Strategy):
When used as part of the Morning Glory Qualified Trade Setup, here are the historical win rates by day of the week:
Monday: 65%
Tuesday: 77%
Wednesday: 79%
Thursday: 82%
Friday: 78%

FordOverview
The "Ford Trading Assistant" is an indicator crafted to support traders during the fast-paced New York trading session. This tool overlays a customizable table on your chart, delivering real-time insights from key market internals—NYSE and Nasdaq Advance/Decline (A/D), Volume Difference (VOLD), and TICK—alongside a unique Trend Score and actionable trading instructions. Its innovative design blends multiple data points into a cohesive market analysis tool, offering visual clarity and contextual guidance to help traders navigate intraday momentum shifts.
Purpose and Usefulness
Unlike typical price-based indicators, the Ford Trading Assistant taps into broad market internals to reveal underlying sentiment and momentum, making it an essential companion for intraday trading in the New York session for ETFs such as SPY/QQQ/IWM and Futures Markets(ES/NQ/RTY). It’s ideal for scalpers, day traders, and swing traders looking to confirm trend strength, spot potential reversals, or avoid choppy conditions. The indicator’s dual-table interface—one for data and signals, another for instructions—provides a streamlined way to assess current market dynamics and anticipate what’s ahead, enhancing decision-making in real time.
How It Works
The indicator pulls live data from six critical market internals using a 1-second timeframe:
NYSE Advance/Decline (A/D) - Tracks the balance of advancing versus declining NYSE stocks.
Nasdaq Advance/Decline (A/D) - Monitors the same for Nasdaq stocks.
NYSE VOLD - Measures the net volume difference between buying and selling on the NYSE.
Nasdaq VOLD - Captures the equivalent for Nasdaq.
NYSE TICK - Gauges the net number of NYSE stocks ticking up versus down.
Nasdaq TICK - Reflects the same for Nasdaq.
These internals are analyzed to determine their trend state (e.g., bullish, bearish, or neutral), displayed with color-coded backgrounds and emojis for instant recognition. The indicator then:
Assesses Trend Conditions: Evaluates the alignment of internals to identify varying degrees of bullish or bearish momentum, reflected in bar colors on the chart.
Calculates a Trend Score: Combines the strength of all internals into a single, proprietary metric that summarizes market direction and intensity.
Generates Signals: Detects changing states in market internals like reversals, acceleration, exhaustion, divergence, breakouts, and mean reversion, presented with directional cues and timestamps.
A separate instruction panel interprets these conditions, delivering guidance tailored to the market’s current state—whether it’s trending strongly, leaning one way, or stuck in divergence—helping traders understand the auction’s behavior and adjust their approach.
Internal Signals and Their Role
Each internal signal plays a distinct role in confirming the market’s current state and the conditions you’re trading into:
NYSE and Nasdaq A/D: Reflects market breadth. Strong positive readings indicate widespread buying interest, while negative readings suggest broad selling pressure, helping confirm if a move has solid participation.
NYSE and Nasdaq VOLD: Tracks volume momentum. High positive values signal aggressive buying, while deep negatives point to heavy selling, validating whether price action is supported by volume.
NYSE and Nasdaq TICK: Captures short-term sentiment. Extreme values highlight overbought or oversold conditions, offering clues about potential continuation or exhaustion.
How Signals Confirm Conditions
Trend Score: A positive score suggests bullish control, a negative score indicates bearish control, and a neutral score points to indecision. It acts as a quick gauge of overall market health with a low score of -24 and a max score of +24 with calculations based on overall internal conditions.
Reversal: Warns of potential trend shifts, triggered by significant changes in momentum or conflicting internals. Useful for exiting trends or preparing for counter-moves.
Acceleration: Highlights strengthening momentum, confirming conditions for trading a trend with confidence.
Exhaustion: Flags overextended moves, signaling fading momentum—ideal for profit-taking or fading trades.
Divergence: Indicates a disconnect between price and internals, cautioning against chasing moves that lack internal support.
Breakout: Identifies sharp momentum surges, confirming conditions for high-probability breakout trades.
Mean Reversion: Signals a pullback from extremes, suggesting a return to balance for range-bound strategies.
How to Use It
Add to Chart: Apply the indicator to any symbol (e.g., SPY, QQQ) on a 1-second or higher timeframe. It displays an "Internals Table" (default bottom right) and an "Instructions" panel (top right).
Track Internals: Watch the table for real-time data, trend states, and the Trend Score. The Bar colors also reflect the strength of bullish or bearish conditions.
Read Instructions: Use the instruction panel to understand the market’s state—e.g., "Trending Bullish" suggesting buying conditions, while "Diverging" would suggests caution.
Leverage Signals: Act on signals like "Breakout" or "Exhaustion" to enter new trades, exit old trades, manage current trades or continue to remain sidelined. Adjust table settings (position, size, colors) via inputs.
Pair with Price: Combine with your favorite price tools (e.g., support/resistance) to align internals with chart setups.
Customization
Modify the lookback period (default 100 bars), table orientation (vertical/horizontal), text size, colors, and transparency to fit your workflow.
Limitations
Requires real-time NYSE/Nasdaq data, which may depend on your TradingView plan.
Signals reflect current conditions, not future predictions, and may lag in extreme volatility.
Best used alongside price analysis for a complete trading strategy.

BIN Based Support and Resistance [SS]This indicator presents a version of an alternative way to determine support and resistance, using a method called "Bins".
Bins provide for a flexible and interesting way to determine support and resistance levels.
First off, let's discuss BINS:
Bins are ranges or containers into which your data points can be sorted. For example, if you're grouping ages, you might have bins like 0–18, 19–35, 36–50, and 51+. Any data point within these intervals gets placed in the corresponding bin.
Binning simplifies complex data sets by grouping values into categories. This is useful for such things as
Visualizing data in histograms or bar charts.
Reducing noise and highlighting trends.
This indicator groups the price action into 10 separate bins. It determines the Support / Resistance level by averaging the values in the Bins to find an iteration of the "central tendency" or average reoccurring value.
Pros and Cons
Since this is a different approach to support and resistance, I think its important to highlight some of the pros and advantages, but also be open about the cons.
First off the PROS
Bin Based Support and Resistance Levels dynamically adjust to ranges as opposed to hard / fast peaks and valleys. This makes them better at analyzing price action vs simply drawing lines at random peaks and valleys.
Because Bins are analyzing ALL PA within a period's max and min range, Bin Support and Resistance can actually be used similar to Volume profile, where you are able to identify a pseudo-POC, or areas where price tends to consolidate. Take a look at this example on SPY:
You can see these 2 SR lines are close together. This represents that this general price range is an area where price likes to accumulate/consolidate. You can see the SPY ended up coming back to this range and consolidating there for a bit.
This is a strength of using a BIN based approach to calculating support and resistance, because as indicated before, it looks at price action vs peaks and valleys.
As a tip, these areas are areas you want to wait for a break in one direction or the other.
The indicator provides for backtest results of the support and resistance lines, to see how many times certain areas acted as resistance or support. Because this is analyzing and distributing PA evenly throughout the period's max and min, the indicator can tell you which areas tend to have higher rejection zones and which have higher support zones.
Now the CONS
Because bin based SR take an average approach, the SR lines can sometimes be slightly broken before the ticker finds rejection:
To combat this, make sure there is confirmed support. How the indicator actually backtests these lines is by waiting to see if the ticker has 3 consecutive closes above the support line or below the resistance line. So these are things to be mindful of.
It doesn't consider pivots. Most support and resistance indicators either identify max and min peaks and valleys or use pivot points. Pivot points are a great way to identify peaks and valleys and thus by extension support and resistance. However, this is also somewhat of a strength, as using BINS forces the indicator to consider ALL price action and not just the extremes (highs and lows).
Can be slightly skewed in highly volatile environments. Any time there is a massive drop or rally, it can skew the indicator to give extreme ranges to both ends. For example, the Tariff news collapse on ES1!:
Owning to limitations in lookback length, sometimes the min and max range can be exceeded and other traditional areas of support / resistance is where a ticker will find support.
Using the indicator
Here are some basic use/functionalities of the indicator:
Selecting display of backtest results: You can select to have the backtest results shown in a table:
Or directly on the lines:
Inversely, you can toggle them off completely:
You can modify the lookback length. The suggested lookback length is between 250 to 500 candles on smaller timeframes. I also suggest 252 on daily timeframes (which represents 1 trading year).
And that's the indicator!
It is very easy to use, so you should pick it up in no time!
Enjoy and as always, 🚀🚀 safe trades! 🚀🚀
