Order Blocks Indicator [TradingFinder] Lightning|CHOCH |OB | BOS🔵 Introduction
In "Price Action," an "Order Block" is essentially an area on the price chart where significant players such as institutional traders have executed their moves by placing noteworthy orders. These points often indicate areas where price either attempts to break through (resistance) or returns when it reaches there (support).
Therefore, when discussing the identification of order blocks, we typically refer to finding points where the price has stalled for a while and has accumulated strength before making a significant move in one direction.
Essentially, order blocks assist traders in understanding where large players with "smart money" have likely placed their bulk orders in the market. Traders use these order blocks as part of their overall analysis to identify probable levels where price may change direction.
This version of the order block indicator is designed for traders, adding many indicators to their charts. The minimal design helps minimize disruptions to user focus.
🔵 Identification of Order Blocks
To identify order blocks, first, a "Level Break" must occur. To identify a "Demand Zone," a "High Level Break" is required, and to identify a "Supply Zone," a "Low Level Break" is needed.
Demand Zone :
Supply Zone :
🔵 "Change of Character" or "Market Shift Structure"
"ChoCh" or "MSS" is the "Break Level" that is contrary to the previous trend. For example, if a "Bearish Level" is established in the market and consecutive "Low Levels" are being broken, the price turns upward, breaking a "High Level." This break is called "ChoCh" or "MSS."
🔵 "Break of Structure"
"Break of Structure," or "BoS" for short, is the "Break Level" in the direction of the current trend. For example, if a "Bullish Level" is established in the market, when the price breaks a "High Level," a "BoS" has occurred.
🔵 Features
🟣 Major Level
This feature helps you easily identify major levels. These levels form when the price breaks another major level.
🟣 Refine Order Block
The "Refinement" feature allows you to adjust the width of the order block based on your strategy. There are two modes, "Aggressive" and "Defensive," in Order Block Refine. The difference between "Aggressive" and "Defensive" lies in the width of the order block. For "Risk Averse" traders, the "Defensive" mode is suitable because it provides smaller stop losses and larger reward-to-risk ratios. For "Risk Taker" traders, the "Aggressive" mode is more suitable. These traders prefer to enter trades at higher prices and this mode, where the width of the order block is greater, is more suitable for this group of individuals.
🔵 How to Use
After adding the indicator to your chart, you will see a visual similar to the image below. Green order blocks are "Demand Zones" and red order blocks are "Supply Zones." The midpoint of the order blocks also indicates 50% of it.
Refine Order Block is defaulted to On and refines the order blocks. If you want the order blocks to remain original, you should set it to Off.
Refine is defaulted to "Defensive" mode. If you want it to be in "Aggressive" mode, you should change its mode through Refine Type.
Displaying "Major Levels" is turned off by default and to display them, you should set "Show High Level" and "Show Low Level" to "Yes." You can use these lines to identify liquidity or determine stop loss and take profit levels.

How to Trade using these Levels?
With this indicator, you can see all the levels between whole number and its corresponding 0.272 were highlighted. That is where we need to look for intraday trade entry. If any of the level broken on either side and the bar closes below ore above the highlighted area, we should enter the trade in that direction with immediate next FIB level as TP1 and subsequent level as TP2. And, an opposite directional close above or below the highlighted level will be considered as stop loss exit.
We prefer to trade in 3 minutes or 5 minutes timeframe for intraday trading.
How we plot the levels?
We are incorporating ORB into Fibonacci to plot intraday trading levels. We use high and low of first 15 minutes candle of each new trading session to arrive the levels for that session.
When market is trading above or below initially plotted levels, user can extend the levels by enabling extentions provided in user settings
ATR Based Stoploss - TakeProfit [CharmyDexter]
This script combines the power of Average True Range (ATR) and a Moving Average (MA) to dynamically set stop-loss and take-profit levels. It introduces a volatility surge condition and includes a risk management table for comprehensive trade insights.
1) **Originality:**
- This script is original in its approach to combining Average True Range (ATR) with a Moving Average (MA) to create a dynamic stop-loss and take-profit strategy. The addition of a volatility surge condition and the inclusion of a risk management table further contribute to its uniqueness.
2) **Functionality:**
- The script aims to provide traders with a dynamic stop-loss and take-profit strategy based on ATR, incorporating a volatility surge condition and a moving average. The risk management table displays crucial information, including the fund size, potential profit/loss, ATR values, and risk.
3) **Operation:**
- The script uses ATR to calculate volatility, identifying surges in volatility. It adjusts the stop-loss and take-profit levels based on the average of ATR during these surge periods. The moving average acts as a trend indicator, and the script dynamically adjusts stop-loss and take-profit levels accordingly.
4) **Usage:**
- Traders can use this script by applying it to their preferred financial instrument's chart. The script automatically plots the moving average and dynamically adjusts stop-loss and take-profit levels based on ATR and volatility surges. Users can observe the levels on the chart for potential trade management.
5) **Concepts:**
- The script employs concepts of ATR for volatility, moving average for trend identification, and a dynamic adjustment mechanism during volatility surges. Risk management is incorporated by calculating potential profit/loss percentages based on user-defined risk.
6) **Mashup Explanation:**
- The script combines ATR, moving average, and volatility conditions to create a comprehensive strategy. ATR determines the market's volatility, the moving average serves as a trend indicator, and volatility surges trigger dynamic adjustments to stop-loss and take-profit levels. The risk management table enhances the script's utility.
7) **Line Descriptions:**
- Blue Line (Moving Average): Indicates the trend direction.
- Lime Line (Long Take Profit): Represents the level for taking profit in a long position.
- Maroon Line (Short Take Profit): Represents the level for taking profit in a short position.
- Fuchsia Line (Short Stop Loss): Represents the level for setting a stop loss in a short position.
- Orange Line (Long Stop Loss): Represents the level for setting a stop loss in a long position.
8) **Line Usage:**
- Use the blue line for trend identification.
- When taking long positions, the close should be above the blue line.
- For long positions, the lime line is a potential take-profit level, and the orange line is a potential stop-loss level.
- For short positions, the maroon line is a potential take-profit level, and the fuchsia line is a potential stop-loss level.
- The risk management table provides insights into fund size, potential profit/loss, ATR values, and risk.
Note: The profit/loss calculations in this script may not be entirely accurate due to factors like market execution. Market execution may not always occur at the exact levels specified by the script due to slippage or delays in order processing. This can impact the realized profit or loss compared to the calculated levels.
It is crucial to note that this ATR Based Stop-loss - Take-Profit indicator is merely one tool among many that traders can employ to establish trading targets. Additional technical indicators are essential for taking trades and making informed decisions.

Breakout Detector (Previous MTF High Low Levels) [LuxAlgo]The Breakout Detector (Previous MTF High Low Levels) indicator highlights breakouts of previous high/low levels from a higher timeframe.
The indicator is able to: display take-profit/stop-loss levels based on a user selected Win/Loss ratio, detect false breakouts, and display a dashboard with various useful statistics.
Do note that previous high/low levels are subject to backpainting, that is they are drawn retrospectively in their corresponding location. Other elements in the script are not subject to backpainting.
🔶 USAGE
Breakouts occur when the price closes above a previous Higher Timeframe (HTF) High or below a previous HTF Low.
On the advent of a breakout, the closing price acts as an entry level at which a Take Profit (TP) and Stop Loss (SL) are placed. When a TP or SL level is reached, the SL/TP box border is highlighted.
When there is a breakout in the opposite direction of an active breakout, previous breakout levels stop being updated. Not reaching an SL/TP level will result in a partial loss/win,
which will result in the box being highlighted with a dotted border (default). This can also be set as a dashed or solid border.
Detection of False Breakouts (default on) can be helpful to avoid false positives, these can also be indicative of potential trend reversals.
This indicator contains visualization when a new HTF interval begins (thick vertical grey line) and a dashboard for reviewing the breakout results (both defaults enabled; and can be disabled).
As seen in the example above, the active, open breakout is colored green/red.
You can enable the setting ' Cancel TP/SL at the end of HTF ', which will stop updating previous TP/SL levels on the occurrence of a new HTF interval.
🔶 DETAILS
🔹 Principles
Every time a new timeframe period starts, the previous high and low are detected of the higher timeframe. On that bar only there won't be a breakout detection.
A breakout is confirmed when the close price breaks the previous HTF high/low
A breakout in the same direction as the active breakout is ignored.
A breakout in the opposite direction stops previous breakout levels from being updated.
Take Profit/Stop Loss, partially or not, will be highlighted in an easily interpretable manner.
🔹 Set Higher Timeframe
There are 2 options for choosing a higher timeframe:
• Choose a specific higher timeframe (in this example, Weekly higher TF on a 4h chart)
• Choose a multiple of the current timeframe (in this example, 75 minutes TF on a 15 min chart - 15 x 5)
Do mind, that when using this option, non-standard TFs can give less desired timeframe changes.
🔹 Setting Win/Loss Levels
The Stop Loss (SL) / Take Profit (TP) setting has 2 options:
W%:L% : A fixed percentage is chosen, for TP and SL.
W:L : In this case L (Loss-part) is set through Loss Settings , W (Win-part) is calculated by multiplying L , for example W : L = 2 : 1, W will be twice as large as the L .
🔹 Loss Settings
The last drawing at the right is still active (colored green/red)
The Loss part can be:
A multiple of the Average True Range (ATR) of the last 200 bars.
A multiple of the Range Cumulative Mean (RCM).
The Latest Swing (with Length setting)
Range Cumulative Mean is the sum of the Candle Range (high - low) divided by its bar index.
🔹 False Breakouts
A False Breakout is confirmed when the price of the bar immediately after the breakout bar returns above/below the breakout level.
🔹 Dashboard
🔶 ALERTS
This publication provides several alerts
Bullish/Bearish Breakout: A new Breakout.
Bullish/Bearish False Breakout: False Breakout detected, 1 bar after the Breakout.
Bullish/Bearish TP: When the TP/profit level has been reached.
Bullish/Bearish Fail: When the SL/stop-loss level has been reached.
Note that when a new Breakout causes the previous Breakout to stop being updated, only an alert is provided of the new Breakout.
🔶 SETTINGS
🔹 Set Higher Timeframe
Option : HTF/Mult
HTF : When HTF is chosen as Option , set the Higher Timeframe (higher than current TF)
Mult : When Mult is chosen as Option , set the multiple of current TF (for example 3, curr. TF 15min -> 45min)
🔹 Set Win/Loss Level
SL/TP : W:L or W%:L%: Set the Win/Loss Ratio (Take Profit/Stop Loss)
• W : L : Set the Ratio of Win (TP) against Loss (SL) . The L level is set at Loss Settings
• W% : L% : Set a fixed percentage of breakout price as SL/TP
🔹 Loss Settings
When W : L is chosen as SL/TP Option, this sets the Loss part (L)
Base :
• RCM : Range Cumulative Mean
• ATR : Average True Range of last 200 bars
• Last Swing : Last Swing Low when bullish breakout, last Swing High when bearish breakout
Multiple : x times RCM/ATR
Swing Length : Sets the 'left' period ('right' period is always 1)
Colours : colour of TP/SL box and border

ATH Drawdown Indicator by Atilla YurtsevenThe ATH (All-Time High) Drawdown Indicator, developed by Atilla Yurtseven, is an essential tool for traders and investors who seek to understand the current price position in relation to historical peaks. This indicator is especially useful in volatile markets like cryptocurrencies and stocks, offering insights into potential buy or sell opportunities based on historical price action.
This indicator is suitable for long-term investors. It shows the average value loss of a price. However, it's important to remember that this indicator only displays statistics based on past price movements. The price of a stock can remain cheap for many years.
1. Utility of the Indicator:
The ATH Drawdown Indicator provides a clear view of how far the current price is from its all-time high. This is particularly beneficial in assessing the magnitude of a pullback or retracement from peak levels. By understanding these levels, traders can gauge market sentiment and make informed decisions about entry and exit points.
2. Risk Management:
This indicator aids in risk management by highlighting significant drawdowns from the ATH. Traders can use this information to adjust their position sizes or set stop-loss orders more effectively. For instance, entering trades when the price is significantly below the ATH could indicate a higher potential for recovery, while a minimal drawdown from the ATH may suggest caution due to potential overvaluation.
3. Indicator Functionality:
The indicator calculates the percentage drawdown from the ATH for each trading period. It can display this data either as a line graph or overlaid on candles, based on user preference. Horizontal lines at -25%, -50%, -75%, and -100% drawdown levels offer quick visual cues for significant price levels. The color-coding of candles further aids in visualizing bullish or bearish trends in the context of ATH drawdowns.
4. ATH Level Indicator (0 Level):
A unique feature of this indicator is the 0 level, which signifies that the price is currently at its all-time high. This level is a critical reference point for understanding the market's peak performance.
5. Mean Line Indicator:
Additionally, this indicator includes a 'Mean Line', representing the average percentage drawdown from the ATH. This average is calculated over more than a thousand past bars, leveraging the law of large numbers to provide a reliable mean value. This mean line is instrumental in understanding the typical market behavior in relation to the ATH.

Value At RiskThe Value at Risk Channel (VaR Channel) is a trading indicator designed to assist traders in managing their risk exposure effectively. By allowing users to select a specific time period and a probability value, this indicator generates upper and lower limits that the price might potentially attain within the chosen timeframe and probability range.
CONCEPTS
This indicator employs the concept of Value at Risk (VaR) calculation, a crucial metric in risk management. VaR quantifies the potential financial loss within a position, portfolio, or company over a defined time period. Financial institutions like banks and investment firms use VaR to estimate the extent and likelihood of potential losses in their portfolios.
The "historical method" is utilized to compute VaR within the indicator. This method analyzes the historical performance of returns and constructs a histogram representing the statistical distribution of past returns. Assuming returns adhere to a normal distribution, probabilities are assigned to different return values based on their position in the distribution percentile.
HOW TO USE
Suppose you wish to plot upper and lower price limits for a 4-hour period with a 5% probability. Access the indicator's Settings tab and set the Timeframe parameter to "4 hours" while configuring the Probability parameter to 5.0.
The indicator serves as a tool to determine appropriate Stop-Loss levels triggering with low probability. Additionally, it helps gauge the likelihood of triggering such levels.
Likewise, you can assess the probability of your desired Take-Profit level being reached within a specified time frame. For instance, if you anticipate your target to be achieved within a week, set the Timeframe parameter to "1 week" and adjust the Probability parameter to align the VaR channel's limits with your Take-Profit level. The resulting Probability parameter value reflects the likelihood of your target being met within the expected time frame.
This indicator proves valuable for evaluating and managing risk, as well as refining trading strategies. If you discover other applications for this indicator, feel free to share them in the comments!
SETTINGS
Timeframe: Designates the time period within which the price might touch the VaR channel's upper or lower boundary, considering the specified Probability parameter.
Probability: Defines the likelihood of the price reaching the VaR channel's upper or lower limit during the timeframe determined by the Timeframe parameter.
Window: Establishes the historical period (number of past bars) utilized for VaR calculation.
SA 2.0The 100/200 EMA crossover strategy is a popular trend-following strategy used in technical analysis. It aims to identify potential buy and sell signals based on the crossover of two exponential moving averages (EMAs), specifically the 100-period EMA and the 200-period EMA. This strategy is designed to capture the momentum of the market and take advantage of sustained trends in the price of US30. This strategy can also work on other instruments, just backtest the winrate.
How it Works:
Timeframe Selection: The strategy is optimized for the US30 index and is implemented on both the 5-minute and 3-minute charts. These shorter timeframes provide more frequent trading opportunities and allow for quicker decision-making.
EMA Crossover: The strategy focuses on the crossover of the 100-period EMA and the 200-period EMA. When the 100 EMA crosses above the 200 EMA, it generates a bullish signal, indicating a potential upward trend. Conversely, when the 100 EMA crosses below the 200 EMA, it generates a bearish signal, suggesting a potential downward trend.
Rejection Confirmation: To filter out false signals and increase the reliability of the strategy, it incorporates a rejection confirmation. After the initial crossover, the strategy looks for price rejections near the 100 EMA. A rejection occurs when the price briefly moves below the 100 EMA and then quickly bounces back above it, indicating potential support and a possible continuation of the trend. It is during this rejection that the strategy generates the buy or sell signal.
Buy and Sell Signals: When a rejection occurs after the crossover, the strategy generates a buy signal if the rejection is above the 100 EMA. This suggests that the price is likely to continue its upward momentum. On the other hand, a sell signal is generated if the rejection occurs below the 100 EMA, indicating a potential continuation of the downward trend. These signals help traders identify favorable entry points for long or short positions.
Risk Management: As with any trading strategy, proper risk management is crucial. Traders can use stop-loss orders to limit potential losses in case the market moves against their positions. Additionally, setting profit targets or trailing stops can help secure profits as the trend progresses.
It's important to note that no trading strategy guarantees success, and it's recommended to test the strategy on historical data or in a demo trading environment before applying it with real funds. Furthermore, regular monitoring and adjustment may be necessary to adapt to changing market conditions.

Value At Risk Channel [AstrideUnicorn]The Value at Risk Channel (VaR Channel) is a trading indicator designed to help traders control the level of risk exposure in their positions. The user can select a time period and a probability value, and the indicator will plot the upper and lower limits that the price can reach during the selected time period with the given probability.
CONCEPTS
The indicator is based on the Value at Risk (VaR) calculation. VaR is an important metric in risk management that quantifies the degree of potential financial loss within a position, portfolio or company over a specific period of time. It is widely used by financial institutions like banks and investment companies to forecast the extent and likelihood of potential losses in their portfolios.
We use the so-called “historical method” to compute VaR. The algorithm looks at the history of past returns and creates a histogram that represents the statistical distribution of past returns. Assuming that the returns follow a normal distribution, one can assign a probability to each value of return. The probability of a specific return value is determined by the distribution percentile to which it belongs.
HOW TO USE
Let’s assume you want to plot the upper and lower limits that price will reach within 4 hours with 5% probability. To do this, go to the indicator Settings tab and set the Timeframe parameter to "4 hours'' and the Probability parameter to 5.0.
You can use the indicator to set your Stop-Loss at the price level where it will trigger with low probability. And what's more, you can measure and control the probability of triggering.
You can also see how likely it is that the price will reach your Take-Profit within a specific period of time. For example, you expect your target level to be reached within a week. To determine this probability, set the Timeframe parameter to "1 week" and adjust the Probability parameter so that the upper or lower limit of your VaR channel is close to your Take-Profit level. The resulting Probability parameter value will show the probability of reaching your target in the expected time.
The indicator can be a useful tool for measuring and managing risk, as well as for developing and fine-tuning trading strategies. If you find other uses for the indicator, feel free to share them in the comments!
SETTINGS
Timeframe - sets the time period, during which the price can reach the upper or lower bound of the VaR channel with the probability, set by the Probability parameter.
Probability - specifies the probability with which the price can reach the upper or lower bound of the VaR channel during the time period specified by the Timeframe parameter.
Window - specifies the length of history (number of historical bars) used for VaR calculation.
jeetesh G 2.35Use for intraday proper stop losses and targets.
When the price goes above the first level wait for a signaling candle and once we have it place your stop loss just above the second level for short trade and vice versa for long trades.
Risk Management: Position Size & Risk RewardHere is a Risk Management Indicator that calculates stop loss and position sizing based on the volatility of the stock. Most traders use a basic 1 or 2% Risk Rule, where they will not risk more than 1 or 2% of their capital on any one trade. I went further and applied four levels of risk: 0.25%, 0.50%, 1% and 2%. How you apply these different levels of risk is what makes this indicator extremely useful. Here are some common ways to apply this script:
• If the stock is extremely volatile and has a better than 50% chance of hitting the stop loss, then risk only 0.25% of your capital on that trade.
• If a stock has low volatility and has less than 20% change of hitting the stop loss, then risk 2% of your capital on that trade.
• Risking anywhere between 0.25% and 2% is purely based on your intuition and assessment of the market.
• If you are on a losing streak and you want to cut back on your position sizing, then lowering the Risk % can help you weather the storm.
• If you are on a winning streak and your entries are experiencing a higher level of success, then gradually increase the Risk % to reap bigger profits.
• If you want to trade outside the noise of the market or take on more noise/risk, you can adjust the ATR Factor.
• … and whatever else you can imagine using it to benefit your trading.
The position size is calculated using the Capital and Risk % fields, which is the percentage of your total trading capital (a.k.a net liquidity or Capital at Risk). If you instead want to calculate the position size based on a specific amount of money, then enter the amount in the Custom Risk Amt input box. Any amount greater than 0 in the Custom Risk Amt field will override the values in the Capital and Risk % fields.
The stop loss is calculated by using the ATR. The default setting is the 14 RMA, but you can change the length and smoothing of the true range moving average to your liking. Selecting a different length and smoothing affects the stop loss and position size, so choose these values very carefully.
The ATR Factor is a multiplier of the ATR. The ATR Factor can be used to adjust the stop loss and move it outside of the market noise. For the more volatile stock, increase the factor to lower the stop loss and reduce the chance of getting stopped out. For stocks with less volatility , you can lower the factor to raise the stop loss and increase position size. Adjusting the ATR Factor can also be useful when you want the stop loss to be at or below key levels of support.
The Market Session is the hours the market is open. The Market Session only affects the Opening Range Breakout (ORB) option, so it’s important to change these values if you’re trading the ORB and you’re outside of Eastern Standard Time or you’re trading in a foreign exchange.
The ORB is a bonus to the script. When enabled, the indicator will only appear in the first green candle of the day (09:30:00 or 09:30 AM EST or the start time specified in Market Session). When using the ORB, the stop loss is based on the spread of the first candle at the Open. The spread is the difference between the High and Low of the green candle. On 1-day or higher timeframes, the indicator will be the spread of the last (or current) candle.
The output of the indicator is a label overlaying the chart:
1. ATR (14 RMA x2) – This indicated that the stop loss is determined by the ATR. The x2 is the ATR Factor. If ORB is selected, then the first line will show SPREAD, instead of ATR.
2. Capital – This is your total capital or capital at risk.
3. Risk X% of Capital – The amount you’re risking on a % of the Capital. If a Custom Risk Amt is entered, then Risk Amount will be shown in place of Capital and Risk % of Capital.
4. Entry – The current price.
5. Stop Loss – The stop loss price.
6. -1R – The stop loss price and the amount that will be lost of the stop loss is hit.
7. – These are the target prices, or levels where you will want to take profit.
This script is primarily meant for people who are new to active trading and who are looking for a sound risk management strategy based on market volatility . This script can also be used by the more experienced trader who is using a similar system, but also wants to see it applied as an indicator on TradingView. I’m looking forward to maintaining this script and making it better in future revisions. If you want to include or change anything you believe will be a good change or feature, then please contact me in TradingView.
888 BOT #alerts█ 888 BOT #alerts (open source)
This is an Expert Advisor 'EA' or Automated trading script for ‘longs’ and ‘shorts’, which uses only a Take Profit or, in the worst case, a Stop Loss to close the trade.
It's a much improved version of the previous ‘Repanocha’. It doesn`t use 'Trailing Stop' or 'security ()' functions (although using a security function doesn`t mean that the script repaints) and all signals are confirmed, therefore the script doesn`t repaint in alert mode and is accurate in backtest mode.
Apart from the previous indicators, some more and other functions have been added for Stop-Loss, re-entry and leverage.
It uses 8 indicators, (many of you already know what they are, but in case there is someone new), these are the following:
1. Jurik Moving Average
It's a moving average created by Mark Jurik for professionals which eliminates the 'lag' or delay of the signal. It's better than other moving averages like EMA , DEMA , AMA or T3.
There are two ways to decrease noise using JMA . Increasing the 'LENGTH' parameter will cause JMA to move more slowly and therefore reduce noise at the expense of adding 'lag'
The 'JMA LENGTH', 'PHASE' and 'POWER' parameters offer a way to select the optimal balance between 'lag' and over boost.
Green: Bullish , Red: Bearish .
2. Range filter
Created by Donovan Wall, its function is to filter or eliminate noise and to better determine the price trend in the short term.
First, a uniform average price range 'SAMPLING PERIOD' is calculated for the filter base and multiplied by a specific quantity 'RANGE MULTIPLIER'.
The filter is then calculated by adjusting price movements that do not exceed the specified range.
Finally, the target ranges are plotted to show the prices that will trigger the filter movement.
Green: Bullish , Red: Bearish .
3. Average Directional Index ( ADX Classic) and ( ADX Masanakamura)
It's an indicator designed by Welles Wilder to measure the strength and direction of the market trend. The price movement is strong when the ADX has a positive slope and is above a certain minimum level 'ADX THRESHOLD' and for a given period 'ADX LENGTH'.
The green color of the bars indicates that the trend is bullish and that the ADX is above the level established by the threshold.
The red color of the bars indicates that the trend is down and that the ADX is above the threshold level.
The orange color of the bars indicates that the price is not strong and will surely lateralize.
You can choose between the classic option and the one created by a certain 'Masanakamura'. The main difference between the two is that in the first it uses RMA () and in the second SMA () in its calculation.
4. Parabolic SAR
This indicator, also created by Welles Wilder, places points that help define a trend. The Parabolic SAR can follow the price above or below, the peculiarity that it offers is that when the price touches the indicator, it jumps to the other side of the price (if the Parabolic SAR was below the price it jumps up and vice versa) to a distance predetermined by the indicator. At this time the indicator continues to follow the price, reducing the distance with each candle until it is finally touched again by the price and the process starts again. This procedure explains the name of the indicator: the Parabolic SAR follows the price generating a characteristic parabolic shape, when the price touches it, stops and turns ( SAR is the acronym for 'stop and reverse'), giving rise to a new cycle. When the points are below the price, the trend is up, while the points above the price indicate a downward trend.
5. RSI with Volume
This indicator was created by LazyBear from the popular RSI .
The RSI is an oscillator-type indicator used in technical analysis and also created by Welles Wilder that shows the strength of the price by comparing individual movements up or down in successive closing prices.
LazyBear added a volume parameter that makes it more accurate to the market movement.
A good way to use RSI is by considering the 50 'RSI CENTER LINE' centerline. When the oscillator is above, the trend is bullish and when it is below, the trend is bearish .
6. Moving Average Convergence Divergence ( MACD ) and ( MAC-Z )
It was created by Gerald Appel. Subsequently, the histogram was added to anticipate the crossing of MA. Broadly speaking, we can say that the MACD is an oscillator consisting of two moving averages that rotate around the zero line. The MACD line is the difference between a short moving average 'MACD FAST MA LENGTH' and a long moving average 'MACD SLOW MA LENGTH'. It's an indicator that allows us to have a reference on the trend of the asset on which it is operating, thus generating market entry and exit signals.
We can talk about a bull market when the MACD histogram is above the zero line, along with the signal line, while we are talking about a bear market when the MACD histogram is below the zero line.
There is the option of using the MAC-Z indicator created by LazyBear, which according to its author is more effective, by using the parameter VWAP ( volume weighted average price ) 'Z-VWAP LENGTH' together with a standard deviation 'STDEV LENGTH' in its calculation.
7. Volume Condition
Volume indicates the number of participants in this war between bulls and bears, the more volume the more likely the price will move in favor of the trend. A low trading volume indicates a lower number of participants and interest in the instrument in question. Low volumes may reveal weakness behind a price movement.
With this condition, those signals whose volume is less than the volume SMA for a period 'SMA VOLUME LENGTH' multiplied by a factor 'VOLUME FACTOR' are filtered. In addition, it determines the leverage used, the more volume , the more participants, the more probability that the price will move in our favor, that is, we can use more leverage. The leverage in this script is determined by how many times the volume is above the SMA line.
The maximum leverage is 8.
8. Bollinger Bands
This indicator was created by John Bollinger and consists of three bands that are drawn superimposed on the price evolution graph.
The central band is a moving average, normally a simple moving average calculated with 20 periods is used. ('BB LENGTH' Number of periods of the moving average)
The upper band is calculated by adding the value of the simple moving average X times the standard deviation of the moving average. ('BB MULTIPLIER' Number of times the standard deviation of the moving average)
The lower band is calculated by subtracting the simple moving average X times the standard deviation of the moving average.
the band between the upper and lower bands contains, statistically, almost 90% of the possible price variations, which means that any movement of the price outside the bands has special relevance.
In practical terms, Bollinger bands behave as if they were an elastic band so that, if the price touches them, it has a high probability of bouncing.
Sometimes, after the entry order is filled, the price is returned to the opposite side. If price touch the Bollinger band in the same previous conditions, another order is filled in the same direction of the position to improve the average entry price, (% MINIMUM BETTER PRICE ': Minimum price for the re-entry to be executed and that is better than the price of the previous position in a given %) in this way we give the trade a chance that the Take Profit is executed before. The downside is that the position is doubled in size. 'ACTIVATE DIVIDE TP': Divide the size of the TP in half. More probability of the trade closing but less profit.
█ STOP LOSS and RISK MANAGEMENT.
A good risk management is what can make your equity go up or be liquidated.
The % risk is the percentage of our capital that we are willing to lose by operation. This is recommended to be between 1-5%.
% Risk: (% Stop Loss x % Equity per trade x Leverage) / 100
First the strategy is calculated with Stop Loss, then the risk per operation is determined and from there, the amount per operation is calculated and not vice versa.
In this script you can use a normal Stop Loss or one according to the ATR. Also activate the option to trigger it earlier if the risk percentage is reached. '% RISK ALLOWED' wich is calculated according with: '%EQUITY ON EACH ENTRY'. Only works with Stop Loss on 'NORMAL' or 'BOTH' mode.
'STOP LOSS CONFIRMED': The Stop Loss is only activated if the closing of the previous bar is in the loss limit condition. It's useful to prevent the SL from triggering when they do a ‘pump’ to sweep Stops and then return the price to the previous state.
█ ALERTS
There is an alert for each leverage, therefore a maximum of 8 alerts can be set for 'long' and 8 for 'short', plus an alert to close the trade with Take Profit or Stop Loss in market mode. You can also place Take Profit limit and Stop Loss limit orders a few seconds after filling the position entry order.
- 'MAXIMUM LEVERAGE': It is the maximum allowed multiplier of the % quantity entered on each entry for 1X according to the volume condition.
- 'ADVANCE ALERTS': There is always a time delay from when the alert is triggered until it reaches the exchange and can be between 1-15 seconds. With this parameter, you can advance the alert by the necessary seconds to activate it earlier. In this way it can be synchronized with the exchange so that the execution time of the entry order to the position coincides with the opening of the bar.
The settings are for Bitcoin at Binance Futures (BTC: USDTPERP) in 15 minutes.
For other pairs and other timeframes, the settings have to be adjusted again. And within a month, the settings will be different because we all know the market and the trend are changing.
Pivot Points Percentage Differences (W/ High & Low Indicators)This script is really handy for day trading. This works best on low time frames like the 1 minute or the 5 minute .
To understand what pivot points are you can add other pivot point indicators or just look at the color differences below since every-time that changes it's a new pivot point (which represents a known low or known high with high certainty)
The script shows the most recent percentage move up or down for the last known pivot point based on the pivot point setting data.
Pivot points are generated after 20 bars go by default, but you can set this to whatever you wish in the settings . Just click the gear icon for the script to set these.
You can also set how many bars back to look for what was the last highest percentage move (down or up). This will be important for your day trading strategy.
The idea to trading with this is pretty simple.
You look at the highest percentage moves that were made on pivots up or down and if you notice a current move that has trended down or up to the highest percentage, that makes that a safer bet for shorting or longing.
Of course, sometimes, things move greater or less than normal, so you would set stop losses accordingly.
Hope this helps with your day trading for finding good entry and exit points!
EXAMPLE TRADE SCENARIO
You notice the last high for the last 100 bars was 3% . The price recently rose 3% from a known pivot low. You can put a short on this. You noticed that the average price down was 2% , so if the price drops 2% or close to it you can exit your short and go LONG . You set a stop loss above what you put by an extra percentage to be safe.
I will do an experimental strategy version of this idea if people are interested.
9.x IndexENGLISH
The 9-period exponential moving average setups are simple and efficient for upward or downward trends. Its creation is attributed to trader Larry Williams . In Brazil it is widely publicized by trader Alexandre Fernandes (Palex).
This indicator was created to show the setup that appeared in each candle and an arrow shows the direction that the operation must be made (up arrow, long, and down arrow, short).
Below are the rules that describe each setup.
9.1 Long
1) MME9 is descending;
2) The candle that changes the direction of the average upwards, after its closing, activates the setup, if its maximum is broken, the purchase is activated;
3) The stop loss is positioned below the candle low in step 2.
9.1 Short
1) MME9 is rising;
2) The candle that changes the direction of the average downwards, after its closing, activates the setup, if its minimum is lost the sale is activated;
3) The stop loss is positioned above the candle maximum in step 2.
9.2 Long
1) MME9 is rising;
2) The current candle must close below the minimum of the previous candle, if its maximum is broken, the purchase is activated;
4) If the maximum of the candle in step 2 is not broken, the purchase will occur when the maximum of the next candle is broken;
5) The stop loss is positioned below the minimum of the candle in step 2 or step 3.
9.2 Short
1) MME9 is descending;
2) The current candle must close above the maximum of the previous candle, if its minimum is lost the sale is activated;
4) If the minimum of the candle in step 2 is not lost, the sale will occur when the minimum of the next candle breaks;
5) The stop loss is positioned above the maximum of the candle in step 2 or step 3.
9.3 Long
1) MME9 is rising;
2) A reference candle must be followed by two closings in a row below its closing, the purchase occurs when the maximum of the last candle breaks;
3) If the last high is not broken, the purchase occurs when the maximum of the next candle breaks;
4) The stop loss is positioned below the minimum of the candle in step 2 or step 3;
9.3 Short
1) MME9 is descending;
2) A reference candle must be followed by two closings in a row above its closing, the sale occurs when the minimum of the last candle breaks;
3) If the last low is not broken, the sale occurs when the minimum of the next candle breaks;
4) The stop loss is positioned above the candle maximum of step 2 or step 3;
9.4 Long
1) A candle generates a 9.1 short;
2) The next candle should generate a 9.1 long without losing the minimum of the previous candle, the purchase occurs when the maximum is broken;
3) The stop loss is positioned at the low of the candle in step 2.
Setup 9.4 for sale
1) A candle generates a 9.1 long;
2) The next candle should generate a 9.1 short without losing the maximum of the previous candle, the sale occurs at the loss of its minimum;
3) The stop loss is positioned at the maximum of the candle in step 2.

Altcoin Spring// ============================== ABOUT THIS SCRIPT ==================================
// By @paul108. Based on original idea about EMAs from @MuroCrypto.
// This script tries to time when altcoins might be about to pump after hitting big lows.
// It aims for a higher winrate rather than being definitive.
// It's not for timing entries on your favourite coin. It's for flipping coins that you don't care about.
// It doesn't give exits. Use support/resistance levels. Make sure to take profit.
// It was tested by eye in May 2019.
// It's for 4H on Binance alts in bullish conditions, and may not work very well in any other conditions.
//
// Circles: green means a significant move (of price crossing the slow EMA) up, red, down.
// A green circle indicates a market entry on the next candle with a stop at the medium EMA.
// A grey circle indicates an entry that matched the primary EMA conditions but not secondary tests.
// It's less likely to work out, but who knows.
// Vertical bars: An additional optional indicator: classic 8,21 EMA cross; green up, red down.
// Stop loss: A horizontal line indicates a potential place to put your stop.
// Use recent lows, support, and common sense here, especially with low-sat coins
//
// Use the indicator with confluence of your favourite technical indicators, patterns, and volume.
// If you lose money, it's on you. If you make money, be cool and pay something forward.

PpSignal Chandelier StopThere are few indicators for MT4 which draw trailing stop line. I prefer to use Chandelier Stops. I believe that with good money management this is one of the best tools to follow a trend.
About ATR trailing stop loss (Chandelier Stops)
When you catch trend you can profit from most of the move. The good thing about ATR is that you have a stop loss level in place. When there is a close on the other side of ATR, it is a signal to close. No second guessing.
Best time frame for ATR trailing stop loss
I strongly recommend time frames such as 30m or larger. On lower time frames like 5m there is too much algo trading. I trade with ATR on 1h or 4h charts.
Parameters for trailing stop
Depends on pair or instrument. In most cases standard parameters will be fine. If I change anything then it is usually a Kv parameter. Standard is 3.5 and I tend to make it bigger like 3.7 or 4.0. In most cases it is around 3.7.

Best pairs to trade with ATR trailing stop loss
Trailing stop loss works best in trending markets. That is why you should check pair if it tends to move strong or to move in range. It is not the secret that yen pairs line to move strongly. If you are looking for solid trends, you can’t go wrong with GBPJPY or EURJPY.
Long-Indicator + Exit-AlertThis simple and intuitive trading indicator is tailored for beginners and generates a clear long entry signal when three specific conditions are met:
- The stock price is above the EMA200, signaling a prevailing uptrend.
- The MACD histogram switches from negative to positive, indicating a bullish momentum shift.
- The Volume Oscillator is positive (above the zero line), suggesting rising trading volume and market interest.
Alert: When all three criteria are fulfilled, an alert is triggered for a potential long position.
- Take Profit (TP): The position is exited with profit when the price reaches the upper boundary of the Donchian Channel.
- Stop Loss (SL): The position is closed to limit losses if the price hits the lower boundary of the Donchian Channel.
MA Signal IndicatorMA Signal Indicator
The MA Signal Indicator is a customizable designed to identify potential trading opportunities based on price interactions with a Simple Moving Average (SMA). It incorporates risk management features such as stop-loss (SL), take-profit (TP), and breakeven levels, calculated using the Average True Range (ATR). The indicator is visually intuitive, overlaying trade signals, price levels, and colored zones directly on the chart.
Key Features:
1. Moving Average-Based Signals:
• Generates buy (long) signals when the price crosses above a user-defined SMA (default: 55 periods).
• Generates sell (short) signals when the price crosses below the SMA.
• Long and short trades can be independently enabled or disabled via input settings.
2. Risk Management:
• Stop-Loss (SL): Set as a multiple of the ATR (default: 1x ATR) below the entry price for long trades or above for short trades.
• Take-Profit (TP): Set as a multiple of the ATR (default: 5x ATR) above the entry price for long trades or below for short trades.
• Breakeven Level: A trigger level (default: 2x ATR) where traders may choose to move their stop-loss to breakeven, optionally displayed on the chart.
3. Visual Feedback:
• SMA Line: Plotted in orange (default: 55-period SMA) for trend reference.
• Trade Zone: Highlights the area between the stop-loss and take-profit levels with a semi-transparent green (long) or red (short) background.
• Price Lines: Displays entry price (white), stop-loss (red), take-profit (green), and breakeven level (gray, optional) as horizontal lines during active trades.
• Signal Markers: Triangular markers indicate entry points (green triangle up for long, red triangle down for short).
• Exit Markers: Labels show when a trade hits the take-profit (green checkmark) or stop-loss (red cross).
4. Trade Logic:
• Only one trade is active at a time (long or short).
• Trades are exited when either the stop-loss or take-profit is hit, resetting the indicator for the next signal.
• Ensures signals are only triggered when not already in a trade, avoiding duplicate entries.
Inputs:
• MA Period: Length of the SMA (default: 55).
• ATR Period: Period for ATR calculation (default: 5).
• SL Multiplier: ATR multiplier for stop-loss (default: 1.0).
• TP Multiplier: ATR multiplier for take-profit (default: 5.0).
• Move to Breakeven After: ATR multiplier for breakeven trigger (default: 2.0).
• Show Break Even Line: Option to display the breakeven level (default: true).
• Allow Long Trades: Enable/disable long signals (default: true).
• Allow Short Trades: Enable/disable short signals (default: true).
Use Case:
This indicator is ideal for trend-following traders who want a clear, visual system for entering and exiting trades based on SMA crossovers, with predefined risk and reward levels. It suits both manual and automated trading strategies, providing flexibility to adjust parameters for different markets or timeframes.
Notes:
• The indicator is overlaid on the price chart for easy integration with other analysis tools.
• Users should test and adjust parameters (e.g., MA length, ATR multipliers) to suit their trading style and market conditions.
• The breakeven line is a visual guide; manual adjustment of stops is required as the indicator does not automatically modify trade positions.
This indicator provides a robust framework for disciplined trading with clear entry, exit, and risk management visuals.

IU Engulfing Candlestick PatternDISCRIPTION
📈 The IU Engulfing Candlestick Pattern indicator spotlights both bullish and bearish engulfing formations in real‑time. It shades each pattern with a transparent box and drops a concise label so you can catch potential reversals at a glance—no clutter, no noise, just the candles that matter.
USER INPUTS :
1. Pattern Recognition Based on = “Both” | “Wicks” | “Body” ( Default Both )
• Both → only highlights candles that satisfy **both** wick‑and‑body engulfing rules
• Wicks → checks full candle range (high‑to‑low)
• Body → checks only the real bodies (open‑to‑close)
2. Show Labels ( Default true )
If ticked then it will show the text as "Bullish Engulfing" or "Bearish Engulfing".
3. Show The Box ( Default true)
if ticked then it will show the green or red boxes.
INDICATOR LOGIC:
🔹 Bullish Engulfing (green box)
– Current bar closes higher than it opens and fully “wraps” the prior bar per your chosen rule.
🔹 Bearish Engulfing (red box)
– Current bar closes lower than it opens and fully “wraps” the prior bar per your chosen rule.
🔸 When a pattern confirms:
1. The script records the local high/low range.
2. Draws a semi‑transparent box spanning the engulfing pair.
3. Prints a compact up/down label exactly at the reaction point.
4. Fires a once‑per‑bar alert (“Bullish Engulfing” / “Bearish Engulfing”) you can route to webhooks or notifications.
WHY IT IS UNIQUE:
✨ Combines classic body‑only engulfing with an optional wick filter, letting traders demand stricter confirmation when markets are noisy.
✨ Box overlays visually segment the engulfed range—clearer than single‑bar markers.
✨ Lightweight: one input, zero repaint, and capped at 500 boxes to keep charts responsive.
✨ Ready‑to‑use alerts—no extra code needed for automation.
HOW USER CAN BENIFIT FROM IT :
- Spot early reversal zones or continuation thrusts without scanning candle by candle.
- Pair the alerts with trading bots, TradingView strategy testers, or mobile push notifications.
- Adapt the strictness (Body vs. Wicks vs. Both) to suit different assets, timeframes, or volatility regimes.
- Use the colored range boxes as dynamic support/resistance references for entries, targets, and stop‑loss placement.
📌 Tip: Test on multiple instruments and timeframes to find the sweet spot that matches your risk profile. This script is for educational purposes—always combine with sound risk management and confirm signals with broader market context.

Breakout Confirmation🔍 Indicator Name: Breakout Confirmation (Body + Volume)
📌 Purpose:
This indicator is designed to detect high-probability breakout setups based on price structure and volume strength. It identifies moments when the market breaks through a key support or resistance level, confirmed by two consecutive strong candles with large real bodies and high volume.
⚙️ How It Works
1. Support and Resistance Detection
The indicator uses pivot points to identify potential horizontal support and resistance levels.
A pivot high or pivot low is considered valid if it stands out over a configurable number of candles (default: 50).
Only the most recent valid support and resistance levels are tracked and displayed as horizontal lines on the chart.
2. Breakout Setup
The breakout condition is defined as:
First Candle (Breakout Candle):
Large body (compared to the recent body average)
High volume (compared to the recent volume average)
Must close beyond a resistance or support level:
Close above resistance (bullish breakout)
Close below support (bearish breakout)
Second Candle (Confirmation Candle):
Also must have a large body and high volume
Must continue in the direction of the breakout (i.e., higher close in bullish breakouts, lower close in bearish ones)
3. Signal Plotting
If both candles meet the criteria, the indicator plots:
A green triangle below the candle for bullish breakouts
A red triangle above the candle for bearish breakouts
📈 How to Interpret the Signals
✅ Green triangle below a candle:
Indicates a confirmed bullish breakout.
The price has closed above a recent resistance level with strength.
The trend may continue higher — possible entry for long positions.
🔻 Red triangle above a candle:
Indicates a confirmed bearish breakout.
The price has closed below a recent support level with strength.
Potential signal to enter short or exit long positions.
⚠️ The plotted horizontal lines show the last key support and resistance levels. These are the zones being monitored for breakouts.
📊 How to Use It
Timeframe: Works best on higher timeframes (1H, 4H, Daily), but can be tested on any chart.
Entry: Consider entries after the second candle confirms the breakout.
Stop Loss:
For longs: Below the breakout candle or the broken resistance
For shorts: Above the breakout candle or broken support
Take Profit:
Based on previous structure, risk:reward ratios, or using trailing stops.
Filter with Trend or Other Indicators (optional):
You can combine this with moving averages, RSI, or market structure for confluence.
