I. Indicator Philosophy
This indicator is not a simple system that provides only one type of signal. It is an advanced tool that analyzes the market using three independent "engines," each specializing in detecting a different type of trading opportunity. Its goal is to identify high-probability setups by filtering out market noise.
II. Legend – What You See on the Chart
Before we proceed to the signals, you need to understand what each visual element represents:
Orange Line (200 EMA): This is the main, long-term trend indicator. It acts like a river – if the price flows above it, we look for buying opportunities (LONG). If it's below, we look for selling opportunities (SHORT).
The Ribbon (green/red): Represents short-term momentum and acts as a dynamic support/resistance zone. A green ribbon suggests buying strength, while a red one suggests selling pressure.
Kijun-sen Line (blue/red): This is the medium-term "center of gravity" of the market. It shows the price equilibrium. Its position relative to the price and the ribbon is crucial for many signals.
Gray Background: This is a "NO-TRADE ZONE." It appears when the ADX indicator shows that the market is in consolidation and lacks a clear trend. Most signals are ignored in these areas.
## III. The Three Signal Engines – When to Consider a Position
The indicator generates three different types of signals, each with its own characteristics and risk profile.
1. LONG / SHORT Labels (The Pullback Engine - Conservative)
Character: Safe, conservative, trend-following. Appears the least frequently.
How it works: It looks for ideal, "textbook" conditions. For a LONG signal, all indicators must be in full alignment (price > ribbon > Kijun > orange line), the trend must be strong (high ADX), AND the price must make a pullback to the ribbon and then bounce off it.
When to consider a position: When you see this signal, you are entering a well-developed, healthy trend. It's a high-probability entry, but often not at the very beginning of the move. Ideal for traders who value safety.
2. 🔵 / 🟣 Circles (The Squeeze Engine - Moderate)
Character: Moderately aggressive, looks for the beginning of a new, dynamic move.
How it works: It searches for periods of consolidation and low volatility (when the market is "gathering energy"). The signal (a circle) appears at the moment the price breaks out of this consolidation, and the direction of the breakout is confirmed by the Kijun-sen line.
When to consider a position: When you see the price has been moving sideways for a while, and then a circle appears. This is a sign that the consolidation phase has likely ended and a new impulse is beginning. Ideal for catching "fresh" moves.
3. ⚡ Lightning Bolt (The Reversal Engine - Aggressive)
Character: Aggressive, contrarian, attempts to catch sharp reversals. This is the riskiest signal.
How it works: It ignores most of the trend filters. Its sole purpose is to find a moment where the price, after a sharp and overextended move in one direction, suddenly reverses on a strong candle with high volume.
When to consider a position: When you want to take a risk to catch the very bottom (V-bottom) or top (V-top). This signal requires the most experience. It is recommended to only take it when it appears near a significant, horizontal support or resistance level. Never take it "in a vacuum."

Fibonacci Optimal Entry ZoneFibonacci Optimal Entry Zone - Professional Market Structure Trading Tool
Overview
This indicator combines market structure analysis with dynamic Fibonacci retracement levels to identify optimal entry zones in trending markets. Unlike standard Fibonacci tools, this indicator automatically detects swing points, tracks market structure changes (CHoCH - Change of Character), and adapts Fibonacci levels in real-time as new market structure develops.
Key Innovation - Why This Combination Works
This tool merges two powerful concepts:
Smart Money Concepts (SMC) market structure detection
Automated Fibonacci retracement analysis
The synergy creates a systematic approach to finding high-probability reversal zones by waiting for structure breaks before drawing Fibonacci levels, ensuring you're always trading with the trend rather than against it.
How It Works
1. Market Structure Detection
Uses pivot high/low analysis to identify significant swing points
Detects "Change of Character" (CHoCH) when price breaks previous structure
Distinguishes between bullish (Higher Highs/Higher Lows) and bearish (Lower Highs/Lower Lows) market conditions
2. Dynamic Fibonacci Deployment
Automatically draws Fibonacci retracements between the most recent significant swings
Updates levels in real-time as new structure forms
Includes extended levels (-2.0 to 1.618) for both retracement and extension analysis
3. Optimal Entry Zone Identification
Highlights the "Golden Zone" (0.5-0.618 for bullish, 0.382-0.5 for bearish)
Provides visual fills between key levels to identify confluence zones
Shows exact price levels at each Fibonacci ratio
Trading Methodology
For Bullish Setups:
Wait for a bullish CHoCH (break above previous high)
Monitor price retracement to Fibonacci levels
Look for entries in the 0.5-0.618 zone (Golden Zone)
Use 0.786 as final support before trend invalidation
For Bearish Setups:
Wait for a bearish CHoCH (break below previous low)
Monitor price retracement to Fibonacci levels
Look for entries in the 0.382-0.5 zone
Use 0.236 as final resistance before trend invalidation
Unique Features
Swing Tracker Mode: Continuously updates Fibonacci levels with each new swing
Structure Period Optimization: Adjustable lookback period (default 10) to capture different market conditions
Visual Clarity: Customizable colors, line styles, and label positions
Fill Zones: Create visual zones between any two Fibonacci levels
Extended Levels: Includes negative Fibonacci levels for advanced harmonic patterns
Real-time Updates: Levels extend to current bar for immediate analysis
Best Practices
Timeframe Selection: Works best on H1 and above for swing trading, M15-H1 for intraday
Confluence: Combine with support/resistance, moving averages, or volume analysis
Risk Management: Use the 0.786 level (bullish) or 0.236 level (bearish) for stop-loss placement
Trend Confirmation: Only take trades in the direction of the CHoCH signal
Settings Guide
Structure Period: Higher values (15-20) for major swings, lower values (5-10) for minor swings
Swing Tracker: Enable for active markets, disable for cleaner historical analysis
Fibonacci Levels: Customize which levels to display based on your trading style
Golden Zone Fill: Highlights the optimal entry area for visual clarity
This indicator is designed for traders who understand market structure and want an automated, systematic approach to Fibonacci-based entries. It removes the subjectivity of manual Fibonacci placement while ensuring you're always aligned with the current market structure.
Chart Requirements:
Use a clean chart with only this indicator
Show at least one complete CHoCH signal with Fibonacci levels
Demonstrate how the levels update with new swings
Highlight the golden zone if enabled
Retracement Bar🔍 Retracement Bar – RB
The Retracement Bar (RB) indicator is designed to highlight potential reversal zones by identifying candles where price shows a clear rejection from the extremes. It helps traders spot moments where institutional inventory rebalancing may be occurring — often a precursor to a strong move in the opposite direction.
RB highlights bars that:
Have a relatively small real body compared to the total candle range.
Show a long wick (upper or lower) that exceeds a user-defined percentage of the candle range.
Suggest a potential rejection of price — upward or downward — based on candle structure.
When these conditions are met, a triangle symbol is plotted:
🔻 Red triangle above a candle suggests a possible short opportunity.
🔺 Green triangle below a candle suggests a possible long opportunity.
This indicator does not repaint and triggers only at candle close.
📈 Example – Long Entry
Signal: A green triangle appears below a candle (suggesting rejection of lower prices).
Steps:
Wait for the current RB candle to close.
On the next candle:
Enter long if price breaks above the high of the RB candle.
Alternatively, wait for a pullback and enter based on confirmation (e.g., bullish engulfing, hammer, trendline bounce).
Place a stop-loss just below the low of the RB candle.
Set a target:
Based on a 2:1 risk-reward ratio.
Or use the next resistance/Fibonacci level.
📉 Example – Short Entry
Signal: A red triangle appears above a candle (suggesting rejection of higher prices).
Steps:
Wait for the current RB candle to close.
On the next candle:
Enter short if price breaks below the low of the RB candle.
Or wait for confirmation (e.g., bearish engulfing, shooting star, breakdown from a level).
Place a stop-loss just above the high of the RB candle.
Set a target:
2:1 risk-reward ratio.
Or the next support/Fibonacci zone.
✅ Recommended Filters for Better Results:
Confluence with support/resistance zones.
Trend alignment or reversal context.
Additional confirmation from price action patterns or oscillators.
Volume analysis for entry strength.

Range Bar Gaps DetectorRange Bar Gaps Detector
Overview
The Range Bar Gaps Detector identifies price gaps across multiple range bar sizes (12, 24, 60, and 120) on any trading instrument, helping traders spot potential support/resistance zones or breakout opportunities. Designed for Pine Script v6, this indicator detects gaps on range bars and exports data for use in companion scripts like Range Bar Gaps Overlap, making it ideal for multi-timeframe gap analysis.
Key Features
Multi-Range Gap Detection: Identifies gaps on 12, 24, 60, and 120-range bars, capturing both bullish (gap up) and bearish (gap down) price movements.
Customizable Sensitivity: Includes a user-defined minimum deviation (default: 10% of 14-period SMA) for 12-range gaps to filter out noise.
7-Day Lookback: Automatically prunes gaps older than 7 days to focus on recent, relevant price levels.
Data Export: Serializes up to 10 gaps per range (tops, bottoms, start bars, highest/lowest prices, and age) for seamless integration with overlap analysis scripts.
Debugging Support: Plots gap counts and aggregation data in the Data Window for easy verification of detected gaps.
How It Works
The indicator aggregates price movements to simulate higher range bars (24, 60, 120) from a base range bar chart. It detects gaps when the price jumps significantly between bars, ensuring gaps meet the minimum deviation threshold for 12-range bars. Gaps are stored in arrays, serialized for external use, and pruned after 7 days to maintain efficiency.
Usage
Add to your range bar chart (e.g., 12-range) to detect gaps across multiple ranges.
Use alongside the Range Bar Gaps Overlap indicator to visualize gaps and their overlaps as boxes on the chart.
Check the Data Window to confirm gap counts and sizes for each range (12, 24, 60, 120).
Adjust the "Minimal Deviation (%) for 12-Range" input to control gap detection sensitivity.
Settings
Minimal Deviation (%) for 12-Range: Set the minimum gap size for 12-range bars (default: 10% of 14-period SMA).
Range Sizes: Fixed at 24, 60, and 120 for higher range bar aggregation.
Notes
Ensure the script is published under your TradingView username (e.g., GreenArrow2005) for use with companion scripts.
Best used on range bar charts to maintain consistent gap detection.
For advanced overlap analysis, pair with the Range Bar Gaps Overlap indicator to highlight zones where gaps from different ranges align.
Ideal For
Traders seeking to identify key price levels for support/resistance or breakout strategies.
Multi-timeframe analysts combining gap data across various range bar sizes.
Developers building custom indicators that leverage gap data for advanced charting.

Contrarian RSIContrarian RSI Indicator
Pairs nicely with Contrarian 100 MA (optional hide/unhide buy/sell signals)
Description
The Contrarian RSI is a momentum-based technical indicator designed to identify potential reversal points in price action by combining a unique RSI calculation with a predictive range model inspired by the "Contrarian 5 Levels" logic. Unlike traditional RSI, which measures price momentum based solely on price changes, this indicator integrates a smoothed, weighted momentum calculation and predictive price ranges to generate contrarian signals. It is particularly suited for traders looking to capture reversals in trending or range-bound markets.
This indicator is versatile and can be used across various timeframes, though it performs best on higher timeframes (e.g., 1H, 4H, or Daily) due to reduced noise and more reliable signals. Lower timeframes may require additional testing and careful parameter tuning to optimize performance.
How It Works
The Contrarian RSI combines two primary components:
Predictive Ranges (5 Levels Logic): This calculates a smoothed price average that adapts to market volatility using an ATR-based mechanism. It helps identify significant price levels that act as potential support or resistance zones.
Contrarian RSI Calculation: A modified RSI calculation that uses weighted momentum from the predictive ranges to measure buying and selling pressure. The result is smoothed and paired with a user-defined moving average to generate clear signals.
The indicator generates buy (long) and sell (exit) signals based on crossovers and crossunders of user-defined overbought and oversold levels, making it ideal for contrarian trading strategies.
Calculation Overview
Predictive Ranges (5 Levels Logic):
Uses a custom function (pred_ranges) to calculate a dynamic price average (avg) based on the ATR (Average True Range) multiplied by a user-defined factor (mult).
The average adjusts only when the price moves beyond the ATR threshold, ensuring responsiveness to significant price changes while filtering out noise.
This calculation is performed on a user-specified timeframe (tf5Levels) for multi-timeframe analysis.
Contrarian RSI:
Compares consecutive predictive range values to calculate gains (g) and losses (l) over a user-defined period (crsiLength).
Applies a Gaussian weighting function (weight = math.exp(-math.pow(i / crsiLength, 2))) to prioritize recent price movements.
Computes a "wave ratio" (net_momentum / total_energy) to normalize momentum, which is then scaled to a 0–100 range (qrsi = 50 + 50 * wave_ratio).
Smooths the result with a 2-period EMA (qrsi_smoothed) for stability.
Moving Average:
Applies a user-selected moving average (SMA, EMA, WMA, SMMA, or VWMA) with a customizable length (maLength) to the smoothed RSI (qrsi_smoothed) to generate the final indicator value (qrsi_ma).
Signal Generation:
Long Entry: Triggered when qrsi_ma crosses above the oversold level (oversoldLevel, default: 1).
Long Exit: Triggered when qrsi_ma crosses below the overbought level (overboughtLevel, default: 99).
Entry and Exit Rules
Long Entry: Enter a long position when the Contrarian RSI (qrsi_ma) crosses above the oversold level (default: 1). This suggests the asset is potentially oversold and due for a reversal.
Long Exit: Exit the long position when the Contrarian RSI (qrsi_ma) crosses below the overbought level (default: 99), indicating a potential overbought condition and a reversal to the downside.
Customization: Adjust overboughtLevel and oversoldLevel to fine-tune sensitivity. Lower timeframes may benefit from tighter levels (e.g., 20 for oversold, 80 for overbought), while higher timeframes can use extreme levels (e.g., 1 and 99) for stronger reversals.
Timeframe Considerations
Higher Timeframes (Recommended): The indicator is optimized for higher timeframes (e.g., 1H, 4H, Daily) due to its reliance on predictive ranges and smoothed momentum, which perform best with less market noise. These timeframes typically yield more reliable reversal signals.
Lower Timeframes: The indicator can be used on lower timeframes (e.g., 5M, 15M), but signals may be noisier and require additional confirmation (e.g., from price action or other indicators). Extensive backtesting and parameter optimization (e.g., adjusting crsiLength, maLength, or mult) are recommended for lower timeframes.
Inputs
Contrarian RSI Length (crsiLength): Length for RSI momentum calculation (default: 5).
RSI MA Length (maLength): Length of the moving average applied to the RSI (default: 1, effectively no MA).
MA Type (maType): Choose from SMA, EMA, WMA, SMMA, or VWMA (default: SMA).
Overbought Level (overboughtLevel): Upper threshold for exit signals (default: 99).
Oversold Level (oversoldLevel): Lower threshold for entry signals (default: 1).
Plot Signals on Main Chart (plotOnChart): Toggle to display signals on the price chart or the indicator panel (default: false).
Plotted on Lower:
Plotted on Chart:
5 Levels Length (length5Levels): Length for predictive range calculation (default: 200).
Factor (mult): ATR multiplier for predictive ranges (default: 6.0).
5 Levels Timeframe (tf5Levels): Timeframe for predictive range calculation (default: chart timeframe).
Visuals
Contrarian RSI MA: Plotted as a yellow line, representing the smoothed Contrarian RSI with the applied moving average.
Overbought/Oversold Lines: Red line for overbought (default: 99) and green line for oversold (default: 1).
Signals: Blue circles for long entries, white circles for long exits. Signals can be plotted on the main chart (plotOnChart = true) or the indicator panel (plotOnChart = false).
Usage Notes
Use the indicator in conjunction with other tools (e.g., support/resistance, trendlines, or volume) to confirm signals.
Test extensively on your chosen timeframe and asset to optimize parameters like crsiLength, maLength, and mult.
Be cautious with lower timeframes, as false signals may occur due to market noise.
The indicator is designed for contrarian strategies, so it works best in markets with clear reversal patterns.

The Sequences of FibonacciThe Sequences of Fibonacci - Advanced Multi-Timeframe Confluence Analysis System
THEORETICAL FOUNDATION & MATHEMATICAL INNOVATION
The Sequences of Fibonacci represents a revolutionary approach to market analysis that synthesizes classical Fibonacci mathematics with modern adaptive signal processing. This indicator transcends traditional Fibonacci retracement tools by implementing a sophisticated multi-dimensional confluence detection system that reveals hidden market structure through mathematical precision.
Core Mathematical Framework
Dynamic Fibonacci Grid System:
Unlike static Fibonacci tools, this system calculates highest highs and lowest lows across true Fibonacci sequence periods (8, 13, 21, 34, 55 bars) creating a dynamic grid of mathematical support and resistance levels that adapt to market structure in real-time.
Multi-Dimensional Confluence Detection:
The engine employs advanced mathematical clustering algorithms to identify areas where multiple derived Fibonacci retracement levels (0.382, 0.500, 0.618) from different timeframe perspectives converge. These "Confluence Zones" are mathematically classified by strength:
- CRITICAL Zones: 8+ converging Fibonacci levels
- HIGH Zones: 6-7 converging levels
- MEDIUM Zones: 4-5 converging levels
- LOW Zones: 3+ converging levels
Adaptive Signal Processing Architecture:
The system implements adaptive Stochastic RSI calculations with dynamic overbought/oversold levels that adjust to recent market volatility rather than using fixed thresholds. This prevents false signals during changing market conditions.
COMPREHENSIVE FEATURE ARCHITECTURE
Quantum Field Visualization System
Dynamic Price Field Mathematics:
The Quantum Field creates adaptive price channels based on EMA center points and ATR-based amplitude calculations, influenced by the Unified Field metric. This visualization system helps traders understand:
- Expected price volatility ranges
- Potential overextension zones
- Mathematical pressure points in market structure
- Dynamic support/resistance boundaries
Field Amplitude Calculation:
Field Amplitude = ATR × (1 + |Unified Field| / 10)
The system generates three quantum levels:
- Q⁰ Level: 0.618 × Field Amplitude (Primary channel)
- Q¹ Level: 1.0 × Field Amplitude (Secondary boundary)
- Q² Level: 1.618 × Field Amplitude (Extreme extension)
Advanced Market Analysis Dashboard
Unified Field Analysis:

Strategic LevelsIntroduction
The Strategic Levels indicator plots key high and low price levels for monthly, weekly, daily, and Monday (current week) timeframes. It draws horizontal lines with consolidated labels to highlight significant support and resistance zones.
How to use it ?
Identify critical price levels for trade entries, exits, and risk management.
These prices levels (monthly, weekly, daily open/close) are significant inflection points during short term price movements.
Perfect for swing traders, day traders, or anyone using support/resistance strategies.
Best used for trades lasting no more than a few days.
Scanner Candles v2.01The "Scanner Candle v.2.01" is an indicator classifies candles based on the body/range ratio: indecisive (small body, ≤50%), decisive (medium body), explosive (large body, ≥70%). It includes EMAs to identify trends and "Reset Candles" (RC), small-bodied candles near EMAs, signaling potential reversals or continuations. Useful for analyzing volatility, breakouts, reversals, and risk management.
Description of the indicator:
The "Scanner Candle v.2.01" indicator classifies candles into three categories based on the proportion of the candle's body to its range (high-low):
Indecisive: candles with a small body (≤ set threshold, default 50%), indicating low volatility or market uncertainty.
Decisive: candles with a medium body, reflecting a clear but not extreme price movement.
Explosive: candles with a large body (≥ set threshold, default 70%), signaling strong directional moves.
Additionally, the indicator includes:
Customizable exponential moving averages (EMAs) to identify trends and support/resistance levels.
Detection of "Reset Candles" (RC), specific candles (e.g., dojis, ) with a small bodies body near EMAs, useful for identifying potential reversal or continuation points.
Coloring and visualization:
Candles are colored by category (white for indecisive, orange for decisive, purple for explosive).
Reset Candles are marked with circles above/below the candle (green for bullish, red for bearish).
Potential uses:
Volatility analysis: Identifying uncertain (indecisive), directional (decisive), or impulsive (explosive) market phases.
Breakout trading: Explosive candles can signal entry opportunities on strong moves.
Reversal detection: Reset Candles near EMAs can indicate turning points or trend continuation.
Trend-following support: Integrated EMAs contextualize candles within the main trend.
Risk management: Indecisive candles suggest avoiding trades in low-directionality phases.
The indicator is customizable (thresholds, colors, thresholdsEMAs, ) and adaptable to various timeframes and strategies, from day trading to swing trading.
Reset Candles:
Reset Candles (RC) are specific candles signaling potential reversals or continuations, often near EMAs. They are defined by:
Small body: Body < 5% of the range of the last 10 candles, indicating low volatility (e.g., doji).
EMA proximity: The candle is near or crosses a defined EMA (e.g., 10, 60, or 223 periods).
Trend conditions: Follows a red candle, with the close of the previous previous candles above a specific EMA, suggesting a potential bullish resumption or stabilization.
Limited spike: The candle has minimal tails (spikes, ) below a set threshold (default 1%).
Minimum timeframe: Appears on timeframes ≥ set value (default 5 minutes) or daily charts.
Non-consecutive: Not preceded by other RCs in the last 3 candles.
Types:
Doji_fin: Green circle above, signaling a bullish bullish setup near longer EMAs.
Dojifin_2: Yellow Red circle below, signaling a bearish setup near shorter EMAs.
Trading uses:
Reversal: RCs near EMAs signal bounces or rejections, ideal for counter-trend trades.
Continuation: In trends, RCs indicate pauses before trend resumption, offering low-risk entries.
Support/resistance confirmation: EMA proximity strengthens the level's significance.
Risk management: Small bodies and EMA proximity allow tight stop-losses.
Limitations:
False signals: Common in volatile or sideways markets; use with additional confirmation.
Timeframe dependency: More reliable on higher timeframes (e.g., 1-hour or daily).
Customization needed: Thresholds (e.g., spike, timeframe) must be tailored to the market.
Conclusion:
Reset Candles highlight low-volatility moments near technical levels (EMAs) that may precede significant moves. They are ideal for precise entries with tight stops in reversal or continuation strategies but require clear market context and additional confirmation for optimal effectiveness.

Volume Zones IndicatorVolume Zones Indicator — VWAP with Dynamic Monthly Volume Zones
This indicator is an enhanced version of the classic VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price), designed to create clear monthly zones around VWAP based on average price range (ATR) and volume activity.
The core idea is to highlight key zones where price is more likely to reverse or consolidate, based on where significant trading volume occurs.
How does it work?
VWAP is calculated over the last N days (set by the lookbackPeriod input).
Four zones are plotted above and below VWAP, spaced using a multiple of ATR.
Each zone has its own color for clarity:
Blue — closest to VWAP
Red — second band
Green — third band
Orange — outer band (potential breakout or exhaustion zone)
If the current volume exceeds the moving average of volume, it is highlighted directly on the chart. This helps detect accumulation or distribution moments more easily.
What does the trader see?
You see horizontal colored bands on the chart that update at the start of each new month. These zones:
Remain fixed throughout the month
Automatically adjust based on recent volume and volatility
Act as dynamic support/resistance levels
Best used for:
Mean reversion strategies — identifying pullbacks toward value areas
Support and resistance mapping — automatic SR zones based on price/volume behavior
Breakout filtering — when price reaches zone 3 or 4, trend continuation or reversal is likely
Adding volume context to price action — works well with candlestick and pattern analysis
Settings
Lookback Period (Days): VWAP and volume smoothing length
Volume Area Threshold %: Reserved for future functionality
Works on any timeframe; best suited for 4H timeframe.
Zones are calculated and fixed monthly for clean visual context
Combines price structure with actual volume flow for more reliable decision-making

Metatron Lines (Highs & Lows Geometry)Metatron Lines
Hey TradingView community! 👋
I wanted to share something I've been working on that might help you see market structure from a different angle. This indicator connects pivot highs and lows using geometric patterns, creating what I call "Metatron Lines."
What it does (simply put):
- Finds significant highs and lows on your chart
- Draws lines connecting these points to reveal hidden geometric relationships
- Shows you the underlying structure that price tends to respect
Why I built this:
I noticed that markets often move in patterns that aren't immediately obvious. Sometimes the most important levels aren't the obvious support and resistance lines, but the intersections and angles created by connecting multiple pivot points. This tool helps visualize those relationships.
How it might help you:
- Pattern Recognition : Spot geometric formations that traditional analysis might miss
- Support/Resistance : See where multiple geometric lines converge to create strong levels
- Market Structure : Better understand how price flows and where it might find obstacles
- Confluence Areas : Identify zones where multiple geometric elements align
A few honest thoughts:
This isn't a magic bullet or a guaranteed profit maker (nothing is!). It's simply another lens through which to view price action. Some traders find geometric analysis helpful, others prefer different approaches - and that's perfectly fine.
I've tried to make it customizable so you can adjust it to fit your trading style and timeframe. The default settings work well for most instruments, but feel free to experiment.
Settings you can adjust:
- Pivot detection sensitivity
- Number of connection points
- Line colors and styles
- Which connections to show (highs, lows, or both)
I hope some of you find this useful! I'm always learning from this community, so if you have suggestions for improvements or different ways to use it, I'd love to hear them.
Trade safe and trust your process! 📈

Mark4ex vWapMark4ex VWAP is a precision session-anchored Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) indicator crafted for intraday traders who want clean, reliable VWAP levels that reset daily to match a specific market session.
Unlike the built-in continuous VWAP, this version anchors each day to your chosen session start and end time, most commonly aligned with the New York Stock Exchange Open (9:30 AM EST) through the market close (4:00 PM EST). This ensures your VWAP reflects only intraday price action within your active trading window — filtering out irrelevant overnight moves and providing clearer mean-reversion signals.
Key Features:
Fully configurable session start & end times — adapt it for NY session or any other market.
Anchored VWAP resets daily for true session-based levels.
Built for the New York Open Range Breakout strategy: see how price interacts with VWAP during the volatile first 30–60 minutes of the US market.
Plots a clean, dynamic line that updates tick-by-tick during the session and disappears outside trading hours.
Designed to help you spot real-time support/resistance, intraday fair value zones, and liquidity magnets used by institutional traders.
How to Use — NY Open Range Breakout:
During the first hour of the New York session, institutional traders often define an “Opening Range” — the high and low formed shortly after the bell. The VWAP in this zone acts as a dynamic pivot point:
When price is above the session VWAP, bulls are in control — the level acts as a support floor for pullbacks.
When price is below the session VWAP, bears dominate — the level acts as resistance against bounces.
Breakouts from the opening range often test the VWAP for confirmation or rejection.
Traders use this to time entries for breakouts, retests, or mean-reversion scalps with greater confidence.
⚙️ Recommended Settings:
Default: 9:30 AM to 4:00 PM New York time — standard US equities session.
Adjust hours/minutes to match your target market’s open and close.
👤 Who is it for?
Scalpers, day traders, prop traders, and anyone trading the NY Open, indices like the S&P 500, or highly liquid stocks during US cash hours.
🚀 Why use Mark4ex VWAP?
Because a properly anchored VWAP is a trader’s real-time institutional fair value, giving you better context than static moving averages. It adapts live to volume shifts and helps you follow smart money footprints.
This indicator will reconfigure every day, anchored to the New York Open, it will also leave historical NY Open VWAP for study purpose.
Trend Gauge [BullByte]Trend Gauge
Summary
A multi-factor trend detection indicator that aggregates EMA alignment, VWMA momentum scaling, volume spikes, ATR breakout strength, higher-timeframe confirmation, ADX-based regime filtering, and RSI pivot-divergence penalty into one normalized trend score. It also provides a confidence meter, a Δ Score momentum histogram, divergence highlights, and a compact, scalable dashboard for at-a-glance status.
________________________________________
## 1. Purpose of the Indicator
Why this was built
Traders often monitor several indicators in parallel - EMAs, volume signals, volatility breakouts, higher-timeframe trends, ADX readings, divergence alerts, etc., which can be cumbersome and sometimes contradictory. The “Trend Gauge” indicator was created to consolidate these complementary checks into a single, normalized score that reflects the prevailing market bias (bullish, bearish, or neutral) and its strength. By combining multiple inputs with an adaptive regime filter, scaling contributions by magnitude, and penalizing weakening signals (divergence), this tool aims to reduce noise, highlight genuine trend opportunities, and warn when momentum fades.
Key Design Goals
Signal Aggregation
Merged trend-following signals (EMA crossover, ATR breakout, higher-timeframe confirmation) and momentum signals (VWMA thrust, volume spikes) into a unified score that reflects directional bias more holistically.
Market Regime Awareness
Implemented an ADX-style filter to distinguish between trending and ranging markets, reducing the influence of trend signals during sideways phases to avoid false breakouts.
Magnitude-Based Scaling
Replaced binary contributions with scaled inputs: VWMA thrust and ATR breakout are weighted relative to recent averages, allowing for more nuanced score adjustments based on signal strength.
Momentum Divergence Penalty
Integrated pivot-based RSI divergence detection to slightly reduce the overall score when early signs of momentum weakening are detected, improving risk-awareness in entries.
Confidence Transparency
Added a live confidence metric that shows what percentage of enabled sub-indicators currently agree with the overall bias, making the scoring system more interpretable.
Momentum Acceleration Visualization
Plotted the change in score (Δ Score) as a histogram bar-to-bar, highlighting whether momentum is increasing, flattening, or reversing, aiding in more timely decision-making.
Compact Informational Dashboard
Presented a clean, scalable dashboard that displays each component’s status, the final score, confidence %, detected regime (Trending/Ranging), and a labeled strength gauge for quick visual assessment.
________________________________________
## 2. Why a Trader Should Use It
Main benefits and use cases
1. Unified View: Rather than juggling multiple windows or panels, this indicator delivers a single score synthesizing diverse signals.
2. Regime Filtering: In ranging markets, trend signals often generate false entries. The ADX-based regime filter automatically down-weights trend-following components, helping you avoid chasing false breakouts.
3. Nuanced Momentum & Volatility: VWMA and ATR breakout contributions are normalized by recent averages, so strong moves register strongly while smaller fluctuations are de-emphasized.
4. Early Warning of Weakening: Pivot-based RSI divergence is detected and used to slightly reduce the score when price/momentum diverges, giving a cautionary signal before a full reversal.
5. Confidence Meter: See at a glance how many sub-indicators align with the aggregated bias (e.g., “80% confidence” means 4 out of 5 components agree ). This transparency avoids black-box decisions.
6. Trend Acceleration/Deceleration View: The Δ Score histogram visualizes whether the aggregated score is rising (accelerating trend) or falling (momentum fading), supplementing the main oscillator.
7. Compact Dashboard: A corner table lists each check’s status (“Bull”, “Bear”, “Flat” or “Disabled”), plus overall Score, Confidence %, Regime, Trend Strength label, and a gauge bar. Users can scale text size (Normal, Small, Tiny) without removing elements, so the full picture remains visible even in compact layouts.
8. Customizable & Transparent: All components can be enabled/disabled and parameterized (lengths, thresholds, weights). The full Pine code is open and well-commented, letting users inspect or adapt the logic.
9. Alert-ready: Built-in alert conditions fire when the score crosses weak thresholds to bullish/bearish or returns to neutral, enabling timely notifications.
________________________________________
## 3. Component Rationale (“Why These Specific Indicators?”)
Each sub-component was chosen because it adds complementary information about trend or momentum:
1. EMA Cross
o Basic trend measure: compares a faster EMA vs. a slower EMA. Quickly reflects trend shifts but by itself can whipsaw in sideways markets.
2. VWMA Momentum
o Volume-weighted moving average change indicates momentum with volume context. By normalizing (dividing by a recent average absolute change), we capture the strength of momentum relative to recent history. This scaling prevents tiny moves from dominating and highlights genuinely strong momentum.
3. Volume Spikes
o Sudden jumps in volume combined with price movement often accompany stronger moves or reversals. A binary detection (+1 for bullish spike, -1 for bearish spike) flags high-conviction bars.
4. ATR Breakout
o Detects price breaking beyond recent highs/lows by a multiple of ATR. Measures breakout strength by how far beyond the threshold price moves relative to ATR, capped to avoid extreme outliers. This gives a volatility-contextual trend signal.
5. Higher-Timeframe EMA Alignment
o Confirms whether the shorter-term trend aligns with a higher timeframe trend. Uses request.security with lookahead_off to avoid future data. When multiple timeframes agree, confidence in direction increases.
6. ADX Regime Filter (Manual Calculation)
o Computes directional movement (+DM/–DM), smoothes via RMA, computes DI+ and DI–, then a DX and ADX-like value. If ADX ≥ threshold, market is “Trending” and trend components carry full weight; if ADX < threshold, “Ranging” mode applies a configurable weight multiplier (e.g., 0.5) to trend-based contributions, reducing false signals in sideways conditions. Volume spikes remain binary (optional behavior; can be adjusted if desired).
7. RSI Pivot-Divergence Penalty
o Uses ta.pivothigh / ta.pivotlow with a lookback to detect pivot highs/lows on price and corresponding RSI values. When price makes a higher high but RSI makes a lower high (bearish divergence), or price makes a lower low but RSI makes a higher low (bullish divergence), a divergence signal is set. Rather than flipping the trend outright, the indicator subtracts (or adds) a small penalty (configurable) from the aggregated score if it would weaken the current bias. This subtle adjustment warns of weakening momentum without overreacting to noise.
8. Confidence Meter
o Counts how many enabled components currently agree in direction with the aggregated score (i.e., component sign × score sign > 0). Displays this as a percentage. A high percentage indicates strong corroboration; a low percentage warns of mixed signals.
9. Δ Score Momentum View
o Plots the bar-to-bar change in the aggregated score (delta_score = score - score ) as a histogram. When positive, bars are drawn in green above zero; when negative, bars are drawn in red below zero. This reveals acceleration (rising Δ) or deceleration (falling Δ), supplementing the main oscillator.
10. Dashboard
• A table in the indicator pane’s top-right with 11 rows:
1. EMA Cross status
2. VWMA Momentum status
3. Volume Spike status
4. ATR Breakout status
5. Higher-Timeframe Trend status
6. Score (numeric)
7. Confidence %
8. Regime (“Trending” or “Ranging”)
9. Trend Strength label (e.g., “Weak Bullish Trend”, “Strong Bearish Trend”)
10. Gauge bar visually representing score magnitude
• All rows always present; size_opt (Normal, Small, Tiny) only changes text size via text_size, not which elements appear. This ensures full transparency.
________________________________________
## 4. What Makes This Indicator Stand Out
• Regime-Weighted Multi-Factor Score: Trend and momentum signals are adaptively weighted by market regime (trending vs. ranging) , reducing false signals.
• Magnitude Scaling: VWMA and ATR breakout contributions are normalized by recent average momentum or ATR, giving finer gradation compared to simple ±1.
• Integrated Divergence Penalty: Divergence directly adjusts the aggregated score rather than appearing as a separate subplot; this influences alerts and trend labeling in real time.
• Confidence Meter: Shows the percentage of sub-signals in agreement, providing transparency and preventing blind trust in a single metric.
• Δ Score Histogram Momentum View: A histogram highlights acceleration or deceleration of the aggregated trend score, helping detect shifts early.
• Flexible Dashboard: Always-visible component statuses and summary metrics in one place; text size scaling keeps the full picture available in cramped layouts.
• Lookahead-Safe HTF Confirmation: Uses lookahead_off so no future data is accessed from higher timeframes, avoiding repaint bias.
• Repaint Transparency: Divergence detection uses pivot functions that inherently confirm only after lookback bars; description documents this lag so users understand how and when divergence labels appear.
• Open-Source & Educational: Full, well-commented Pine v6 code is provided; users can learn from its structure: manual ADX computation, conditional plotting with series = show ? value : na, efficient use of table.new in barstate.islast, and grouped inputs with tooltips.
• Compliance-Conscious: All plots have descriptive titles; inputs use clear names; no unnamed generic “Plot” entries; manual ADX uses RMA; all request.security calls use lookahead_off. Code comments mention repaint behavior and limitations.
________________________________________
## 5. Recommended Timeframes & Tuning
• Any Timeframe: The indicator works on small (e.g., 1m) to large (daily, weekly) timeframes. However:
o On very low timeframes (<1m or tick charts), noise may produce frequent whipsaws. Consider increasing smoothing lengths, disabling certain components (e.g., volume spike if volume data noisy), or using a larger pivot lookback for divergence.
o On higher timeframes (daily, weekly), consider longer lookbacks for ATR breakout or divergence, and set Higher-Timeframe trend appropriately (e.g., 4H HTF when on 5 Min chart).
• Defaults & Experimentation: Default input values are chosen to be balanced for many liquid markets. Users should test with replay or historical analysis on their symbol/timeframe and adjust:
o ADX threshold (e.g., 20–30) based on instrument volatility.
o VWMA and ATR scaling lengths to match average volatility cycles.
o Pivot lookback for divergence: shorter for faster markets, longer for slower ones.
• Combining with Other Analysis: Use in conjunction with price action, support/resistance, candlestick patterns, order flow, or other tools as desired. The aggregated score and alerts can guide attention but should not be the sole decision-factor.

## 6. How Scoring and Logic Works (Step-by-Step)
1. Compute Sub-Scores
o EMA Cross: Evaluate fast EMA > slow EMA ? +1 : fast EMA < slow EMA ? -1 : 0.
o VWMA Momentum: Calculate vwma = ta.vwma(close, length), then vwma_mom = vwma - vwma . Normalize: divide by recent average absolute momentum (e.g., ta.sma(abs(vwma_mom), lookback)), clip to .
o Volume Spike: Compute vol_SMA = ta.sma(volume, len). If volume > vol_SMA * multiplier AND price moved up ≥ threshold%, assign +1; if moved down ≥ threshold%, assign -1; else 0.
o ATR Breakout: Determine recent high/low over lookback. If close > high + ATR*mult, compute distance = close - (high + ATR*mult), normalize by ATR, cap at a configured maximum. Assign positive contribution. Similarly for bearish breakout below low.
o Higher-Timeframe Trend: Use request.security(..., lookahead=barmerge.lookahead_off) to fetch HTF EMAs; assign +1 or -1 based on alignment.
2. ADX Regime Weighting
o Compute manual ADX: directional movements (+DM, –DM), smoothed via RMA, DI+ and DI–, then DX and ADX via RMA. If ADX ≥ threshold, market is considered “Trending”; otherwise “Ranging.”
o If trending, trend-based contributions (EMA, VWMA, ATR, HTF) use full weight = 1.0. If ranging, use weight = ranging_weight (e.g., 0.5) to down-weight them. Volume spike stays binary ±1 (optional to change if desired).
3. Aggregate Raw Score
o Sum weighted contributions of all enabled components. Count the number of enabled components; if zero, default count = 1 to avoid division by zero.
4. Divergence Penalty
o Detect pivot highs/lows on price and corresponding RSI values, using a lookback. When price and RSI diverge (bearish or bullish divergence), check if current raw score is in the opposing direction:
If bearish divergence (price higher high, RSI lower high) and raw score currently positive, subtract a penalty (e.g., 0.5).
If bullish divergence (price lower low, RSI higher low) and raw score currently negative, add a penalty.
o This reduces score magnitude to reflect weakening momentum, without flipping the trend outright.
5. Normalize and Smooth
o Normalized score = (raw_score / number_of_enabled_components) * 100. This yields a roughly range.
o Optional EMA smoothing of this normalized score to reduce noise.
6. Interpretation
o Sign: >0 = net bullish bias; <0 = net bearish bias; near zero = neutral.
o Magnitude Zones: Compare |score| to thresholds (Weak, Medium, Strong) to label trend strength (e.g., “Weak Bullish Trend”, “Medium Bearish Trend”, “Strong Bullish Trend”).
o Δ Score Histogram: The histogram bars from zero show change from previous bar’s score; positive bars indicate acceleration, negative bars indicate deceleration.
o Confidence: Percentage of sub-indicators aligned with the score’s sign.
o Regime: Indicates whether trend-based signals are fully weighted or down-weighted.

## 7. Oscillator Plot & Visualization: How to Read It
Main Score Line & Area
The oscillator plots the aggregated score as a line, with colored fill: green above zero for bullish area, red below zero for bearish area. Horizontal reference lines at ±Weak, ±Medium, and ±Strong thresholds mark zones: crossing above +Weak suggests beginning of bullish bias, above +Medium for moderate strength, above +Strong for strong trend; similarly for bearish below negative thresholds.
Δ Score Histogram
If enabled, a histogram shows score - score . When positive, bars appear in green above zero, indicating accelerating bullish momentum; when negative, bars appear in red below zero, indicating decelerating or reversing momentum. The height of each bar reflects the magnitude of change in the aggregated score from the prior bar.
Divergence Highlight Fill
If enabled, when a pivot-based divergence is confirmed:
• Bullish Divergence : fill the area below zero down to –Weak threshold in green, signaling potential reversal from bearish to bullish.
• Bearish Divergence : fill the area above zero up to +Weak threshold in red, signaling potential reversal from bullish to bearish.
These fills appear with a lag equal to pivot lookback (the number of bars needed to confirm the pivot). They do not repaint after confirmation, but users must understand this lag.
Trend Direction Label
When score crosses above or below the Weak threshold, a small label appears near the score line reading “Bullish” or “Bearish.” If the score returns within ±Weak, the label “Neutral” appears. This helps quickly identify shifts at the moment they occur.
Dashboard Panel
In the indicator pane’s top-right, a table shows:
1. EMA Cross status: “Bull”, “Bear”, “Flat”, or “Disabled”
2. VWMA Momentum status: similarly
3. Volume Spike status: “Bull”, “Bear”, “No”, or “Disabled”
4. ATR Breakout status: “Bull”, “Bear”, “No”, or “Disabled”
5. Higher-Timeframe Trend status: “Bull”, “Bear”, “Flat”, or “Disabled”
6. Score: numeric value (rounded)
7. Confidence: e.g., “80%” (colored: green for high, amber for medium, red for low)
8. Regime: “Trending” or “Ranging” (colored accordingly)
9. Trend Strength: textual label based on magnitude (e.g., “Medium Bullish Trend”)
10. Gauge: a bar of blocks representing |score|/100
All rows remain visible at all times; changing Dashboard Size only scales text size (Normal, Small, Tiny).
________________________________________
## 8. Example Usage (Illustrative Scenario)
Example: BTCUSD 5 Min
1. Setup: Add “Trend Gauge ” to your BTCUSD 5 Min chart. Defaults: EMAs (8/21), VWMA 14 with lookback 3, volume spike settings, ATR breakout 14/5, HTF = 5m (or adjust to 4H if preferred), ADX threshold 25, ranging weight 0.5, divergence RSI length 14 pivot lookback 5, penalty 0.5, smoothing length 3, thresholds Weak=20, Medium=50, Strong=80. Dashboard Size = Small.
2. Trend Onset: At some point, price breaks above recent high by ATR multiple, volume spikes upward, faster EMA crosses above slower EMA, HTF EMA also bullish, and ADX (manual) ≥ threshold → aggregated score rises above +20 (Weak threshold) into +Medium zone. Dashboard shows “Bull” for EMA, VWMA, Vol Spike, ATR, HTF; Score ~+60–+70; Confidence ~100%; Regime “Trending”; Trend Strength “Medium Bullish Trend”; Gauge ~6–7 blocks. Δ Score histogram bars are green and rising, indicating accelerating bullish momentum. Trader notes the alignment.
3. Divergence Warning: Later, price makes a slightly higher high but RSI fails to confirm (lower RSI high). Pivot lookback completes; the indicator highlights a bearish divergence fill above zero and subtracts a small penalty from the score, causing score to stall or retrace slightly. Dashboard still bullish but score dips toward +Weak. This warns the trader to tighten stops or take partial profits.
4. Trend Weakens: Score eventually crosses below +Weak back into neutral; a “Neutral” label appears, and a “Neutral Trend” alert fires if enabled. Trader exits or avoids new long entries. If score subsequently crosses below –Weak, a “Bearish” label and alert occur.
5. Customization: If the trader finds VWMA noise too frequent on this instrument, they may disable VWMA or increase lookback. If ATR breakouts are too rare, adjust ATR length or multiplier. If ADX threshold seems off, tune threshold. All these adjustments are explained in Inputs section.
6. Visualization: The screenshot shows the main score oscillator with colored areas, reference lines at ±20/50/80, Δ Score histogram bars below/above zero, divergence fill highlighting potential reversal, and the dashboard table in the top-right.

## 10. Limitations, Repaint Notes, and Disclaimers
10.1. Repaint & Lag Considerations
• Pivot-Based Divergence Lag: The divergence detection uses ta.pivothigh / ta.pivotlow with a specified lookback. By design, a pivot is only confirmed after the lookback number of bars. As a result:
o Divergence labels or fills appear with a delay equal to the pivot lookback.
o Once the pivot is confirmed and the divergence is detected, the fill/label does not repaint thereafter, but you must understand and accept this lag.
o Users should not treat divergence highlights as predictive signals without additional confirmation, because they appear after the pivot has fully formed.
• Higher-Timeframe EMA Alignment: Uses request.security(..., lookahead=barmerge.lookahead_off), so no future data from the higher timeframe is used. This avoids lookahead bias and ensures signals are based only on completed higher-timeframe bars.
• No Future Data: All calculations are designed to avoid using future information. For example, manual ADX uses RMA on past data; security calls use lookahead_off.
10.2. Market & Noise Considerations
• In very choppy or low-liquidity markets, some components (e.g., volume spikes or VWMA momentum) may be noisy. Users can disable or adjust those components’ parameters.
• On extremely low timeframes, noise may dominate; consider smoothing lengths or disabling certain features.
• On very high timeframes, pivots and breakouts occur less frequently; adjust lookbacks accordingly to avoid sparse signals.
10.3. Not a Standalone Trading System
• This is an indicator, not a complete trading strategy. It provides signals and context but does not manage entries, exits, position sizing, or risk management.
• Users must combine it with their own analysis, money management, and confirmations (e.g., price patterns, support/resistance, fundamental context).
• No guarantees: past behavior does not guarantee future performance.
10.4. Disclaimers
• Educational Purposes Only: The script is provided as-is for educational and informational purposes. It does not constitute financial, investment, or trading advice.
• Use at Your Own Risk: Trading involves risk of loss. Users should thoroughly test and use proper risk management.
• No Guarantees: The author is not responsible for trading outcomes based on this indicator.
• License: Published under Mozilla Public License 2.0; code is open for viewing and modification under MPL terms.

PRO Investing - LevelPRO Investing - Level
📊 Dynamic Support/Resistance
This indicator plots the PRO Investing Level, defined as the midpoint between the highest high and lowest low over the past 252 trading days (default lookback period, equivalent to ~1 year). It acts as a key mean-reversion reference level, useful for identifying potential support/resistance zones or market equilibrium levels.
Features:
🕰️ Option to display only today’s level or historical levels.
⚙️ Customizable lookback period for flexibility across timeframes and strategies.
📉 Teal line plotted directly on the chart, highlighting this institutional-grade level.
Ideal for traders looking to anchor price action to significant historical ranges—particularly useful in mean-reversion, breakout, or volatility compression strategies.
LTHB & HTLB Zones with AlertsIn price action trading, the Lowest Tick of the Highest Bar (LTHB) and the Highest Tick of the Lowest Bar (HTLB) are important concepts for support/resistance identification, trend exhaustion, and reversal confirmation. Here's what they mean and why they matter:
🔹 Definitions
1. Lowest Tick of the Highest Bar (LTHB):
The lowest price (tick) of the bar (candlestick) with the highest high in a recent price swing.
Significance: It marks the support inside an upward swing. If price breaks below this, it often indicates loss of upward momentum or reversal.
2. Highest Tick of the Lowest Bar (HTLB):
The highest price of the bar with the lowest low in a swing.
Significance: It acts as a resistance inside a downward swing. If price moves above this, it can signal a bullish reversal.
🔸 Why Are They Significant?
Concept LTHB HTLB
Trend Reversal - Break below LTHB → possible bearish reversal Break above HTLB → possible bullish reversal
Swing Confirmation -Holding above LTHB → continuation of uptrend Holding below HTLB → continuation of downtrend
Trap Detection - Stop hunts often occur just below LTHB Stop hunts often occur just above HTLB
Risk Management -Acts as logical stop-loss in long trades Acts as logical stop-loss in short trades
🔸 Uses in Strategy
1. Breakout Traders use these levels as entry triggers.
2. Reversal Traders look for price failing to hold these levels for early reversal signs.
3. Structure-Based Traders use them to confirm higher highs/lower lows.
4. Stop Placement: Tight stops just beyond LTHB/HTLB help manage risk in swing trades.
🔔 How to Set Alerts in TradingView:
Add the script to your chart.
Open the "⚠️ Alerts" tab.
Click "Create Alert".
In the "Condition" dropdown, select one of:
Enter LTHB Zone
Exit LTHB Zone
Enter HTLB Zone
Exit HTLB Zone
Set desired alert frequency (e.g., once per bar or once).
Click Create.
Long-Leg Doji Breakout StrategyThe Long-Leg Doji Breakout Strategy is a sophisticated technical analysis approach that capitalizes on market psychology and price action patterns.
Core Concept: The strategy identifies Long-Leg Doji candlestick patterns, which represent periods of extreme market indecision where buyers and sellers are in equilibrium. These patterns often precede significant price movements as the market resolves this indecision.
Pattern Recognition: The algorithm uses strict mathematical criteria to identify authentic Long-Leg Doji patterns. It requires the candle body to be extremely small (≤0.1% of the total range) while having long wicks on both sides (at least 2x the body size). An ATR filter ensures the pattern is significant relative to recent volatility.
Trading Logic: Once a Long-Leg Doji is identified, the strategy enters a "waiting mode," monitoring for a breakout above the doji's high (long signal) or below its low (short signal). This confirmation approach reduces false signals by ensuring the market has chosen a direction.
Risk Management: The strategy allocates 10% of equity per trade and uses a simple moving average crossover for exits. Visual indicators help traders understand the pattern identification and trade execution process.
Psychological Foundation: The strategy exploits the natural market cycle where uncertainty (represented by the doji) gives way to conviction (the breakout), creating high-probability trading opportunities.
The strength of this approach lies in its ability to identify moments when market sentiment shifts from confusion to clarity, providing traders with well-defined entry and exit points while maintaining proper risk management protocols.
How It Works
The strategy operates on a simple yet powerful principle: identify periods of market indecision, then trade the subsequent breakout when the market chooses direction.
Step 1: Pattern Detection
The algorithm scans for Long-Leg Doji candles, which have three key characteristics:
Tiny body (open and close prices nearly equal)
Long upper wick (significant rejection of higher prices)
Long lower wick (significant rejection of lower prices)
Step 2: Confirmation Wait
Once a doji is detected, the strategy doesn't immediately trade. Instead, it marks the high and low of that candle and waits for a definitive breakout.
Step 3: Trade Execution
Long Entry: When price closes above the doji's high
Short Entry: When price closes below the doji's low
Step 4: Exit Strategy
Positions are closed when price crosses back through a 20-period moving average, indicating potential trend reversal.
Market Psychology Behind It
A Long-Leg Doji represents a battlefield between bulls and bears that ends in a stalemate. The long wicks show that both sides tried to push price in their favor but failed. This creates a coiled spring effect - when one side finally gains control, the move can be explosive as trapped traders rush to exit and momentum traders jump aboard.
Key Parameters
Doji Body Threshold (0.1%): Ensures the body is truly small relative to the candle's range
Wick Ratio (2.0): Both wicks must be at least twice the body size
ATR Filter: Uses Average True Range to ensure the pattern is significant in current market conditions
Position Size: 10% of equity per trade for balanced risk management
Pros:
High Probability Setups: Doji patterns at key levels often lead to significant moves as they represent genuine shifts in market sentiment.
Clear Rules: Objective criteria for entry and exit eliminate emotional decision-making and provide consistent execution.
Risk Management: Built-in position sizing and exit rules help protect capital during losing trades.
Market Neutral: Works equally well for long and short positions, adapting to market direction rather than fighting it.
Visual Confirmation: The strategy provides clear visual cues, making it easy to understand when patterns are forming and trades are triggered.
Cons:
False Breakouts: In choppy or ranging markets, price may break the doji levels only to quickly reverse, creating whipsaws.
Patience Required: Traders must wait for both pattern formation and breakout confirmation, which can test discipline during active market periods.
Simple Exit Logic: The moving average exit may be too simplistic, potentially cutting profits short during strong trends or holding losers too long during reversals.
Volatility Dependent: The strategy relies on sufficient volatility to create meaningful doji patterns - it may underperform in extremely quiet markets.
Lagging Entries: Waiting for breakout confirmation means missing the very beginning of moves, reducing potential profit margins.
Best Market Conditions
The strategy performs optimally during periods of moderate volatility when markets are making genuine directional decisions rather than just random noise. It works particularly well around key support/resistance levels where the market's indecision is most meaningful.
Optimization Considerations
Consider combining with additional confluence factors like volume analysis, support/resistance levels, or other technical indicators to improve signal quality. The exit strategy could also be enhanced with trailing stops or multiple profit targets to better capture extended moves while protecting gains.

Enjoy !!
Setup Score OscillatorSetup Score Oscillator – Full Description
🎯 Purpose of the Script
This script is a manual trading setup scoring tool, designed to help traders quantify the quality of a trade setup by combining multiple technical, cyclical, and contextual signals.
Instead of relying on a single indicator, the trader manually selects which signals are present, and the script calculates a total score (0–100%), displayed as an oscillator in a separate panel (like RSI or MACD).
🔧 How it works in practice
1. Manual signal inputs
The script presents a set of checkboxes in the settings, where the trader can enable/disable the following signals:
✅ Confirmed Support/Resistance
✅ Aligned Volume Profile
✅ Favorable Cyclic Timing
✅ Valid Trend Line
✅ Aligned Cyclical Moving Averages
✅ Relevant Fibonacci Level
✅ Classic Volume Signal (spike, dry-up, etc.)
✅ Oscillator confirmation (e.g., divergences)
✅ Extreme Sentiment
✅ Relevant or incoming News
Each selected signal contributes to the total score based on its weight.
2. Scoring system
Each signal has a default weight (e.g., 20% for support/resistance, 15% for cycles, etc.).
Optionally, the trader can enable the “custom weights” checkbox and adjust each signal’s weight directly in the settings.
3. Score visualization
The final score (sum of all active weights) is plotted as an oscillator ranging from 0 to 100%, with dynamic coloring:
Range Color Meaning
0–39% Red No valid setup
40–54% Yellow Watchlist only
55–69% Orange Good setup
70–100% Green Strong setup
Several horizontal threshold lines are displayed:
50% → neutral threshold
40%, 55%, 70% → operational levels
4. Optional background coloring
When the score exceeds 55% or 70%, the oscillator background lightly changes color to highlight stronger setups (non-intrusive).
📌 Practical benefits
Objectifies subjective analysis: each decision becomes a number.
Prevents overtrading: no entries if the score is too low.
Adaptable to any trading style: swing, intraday, positional.
User-friendly: no coding needed – just tick boxes.

Setup Score Oscillator – Descrizione completa
🎯 Obiettivo dello script
Lo script è uno strumento manuale di valutazione dei setup di trading, pensato per aiutare il trader a quantificare la qualità di un'opportunità operativa basandosi su più segnali tecnici, ciclici e contestuali.
Invece di affidarsi a un solo indicatore, il trader seleziona manualmente quali segnali sono presenti, e lo script calcola un punteggio complessivo percentuale (0–100%), rappresentato come oscillatore in una finestra separata (tipo RSI, MACD, ecc.).
🔧 Come funziona operativamente
1. Input manuale dei segnali
Lo script mostra una serie di checkbox nelle impostazioni, dove il trader può attivare o disattivare i seguenti segnali:
✅ Supporto/Resistenza confermata
✅ Volume Profile allineato
✅ Cicli o timing favorevole
✅ Trend line valida
✅ Medie mobili cicliche allineate
✅ Livello di Fibonacci rilevante
✅ Volume classico significativo (spike, dry-up)
✅ Conferme da oscillatori (es. divergenze)
✅ Sentiment estremo (es. euforia o panico)
✅ News importanti imminenti o appena uscite
Ogni casella attiva contribuisce al punteggio totale, con un peso specifico.
2. Sistema di punteggio
Ogni segnale ha un peso predefinito (es. 20% per supporti/resistenze, 15% per cicli, ecc.).
Facoltativamente, il trader può attivare la funzione “Enable custom weights” per personalizzare i pesi di ciascun segnale direttamente da input.
3. Visualizzazione del punteggio
Il punteggio complessivo (somma dei pesi attivati) viene tracciato come oscillatore da 0 a 100%, con colori dinamici:
Range Colore Significato
0–39% Rosso Nessun setup valido
40–54% Giallo Osservazione
55–69% Arancione Setup buono
70–1005 Verde Setup forte
Sono tracciate anche delle linee guida orizzontali a:
50% → soglia neutra
40%, 55%, 70% → soglie operative
4. Colorazione dello sfondo (facoltativa)
Quando il punteggio supera 55% o 70%, lo sfondo dell’oscillatore cambia leggermente colore per evidenziare il segnale (non invasivo).
📌 Vantaggi pratici
Oggettivizza l’analisi soggettiva: ogni decisione manuale si trasforma in un numero.
Evita overtrading: se il punteggio è troppo basso, non si entra.
Adattabile a ogni stile: swing, intraday, position.
Facile da usare anche senza codice: basta spuntare le caselle.
Absolute High and Low {Darkoexe}This indicator identifies and visually highlights the absolute highest and lowest closing prices on a chart. It is designed to help traders quickly recognize major price extremes that can serve as significant support/resistance levels or turning points in historical price action.
🔧 What It Does
The script plots persistent horizontal lines on your chart to mark either:
The absolute highest and lowest closing prices of the entire visible chart, or
The highest and lowest closing prices within a custom range of candles, defined by the user.
These price levels are plotted using thick green and red lines, respectively, and are updated dynamically as new highs or lows are set.
⚙️ How It Works
When “Use all candles” is enabled, the script continuously updates the high and low lines based on the full price history of the chart. These lines remain until a new extreme is made.
When disabled, the script checks only the most recent N candles (max bars back input). It scans this window to find and plot the highest and lowest closes.
The lines extend to the right to help users visually anchor these key levels in future price action.
🎯 Use Cases
Spotting extreme price levels for potential mean-reversion strategies.
Confirming breakout or breakdown conditions.
Defining long-term support and resistance zones.
This tool is especially useful for discretionary traders who value historical context and want clear visual markers for past price extremes.
⚠️ Notes and Limitations
This script is not predictive. It simply marks historical price extremes based on closing values.
When using the fixed range mode (max bars back), be aware that values outside this range will not be considered.
The indicator does not repaint, but in full chart mode, it updates only when a new extreme is formed.
