The Relative Moving Average isn’t a well-known moving average. But TradingView uses this average with two popular indicators: the Relative Strength Index (RSI) and Average True Range (ATR)
The weighting factors that the Relative Moving Average uses decrease exponentially. That way recent bars have the highest weight, while earlier bars get smaller weights the older they are.

R-Smart - Relative Strength On observing the market for years I learned that Relative Strength will help us in staying invested in strong bullish stocks (relative to primary indices of your country, in my case it's Nifty 50 for India). Once you identify a strong stock, it's important to know if the stock is trending and is in momentum. To identify, trends and momentum, I used ADX and MACD indicators respectively as part of the R-Smart.
In R-Smart, I used Relative Strength primarily to plot the chart, if the Histogram is positive (greater than 0) then the security is bullish. But then how do we know that it's in trend and having momentum. Well the below color code will help you identify them
1. Histogram in Green : Strong Bullish
2. Histogram in Blue : Weak Bullish
3. Histogram in Orange: Bearish
Apart from the above indicator, I would like to use Super Trend to know the immediate support/resistances on the chart.

+ ATR Support and ResistanceThis, a very different script from most of mine, is my attempt at making a useful, and not messy, support and resistance indicator. If you've never looked into trader xkavalis, and his scripts and discord, I would highly recommend it. He talks about "pay attention candles" a lot. It got me thinking about what those are. Best as I can tell all he means by that phrase is large, impulsive candles. Sometimes these lead to break outs of ranges, or they may signal tops, bottoms, or near-tops and bottoms. The only way I could make sense of this in a mathematical way was by using the average true range. Basically, any candle's true range outside of the ATR is considered a "pay attention candle," by my definition.
This script originally began as just a candle coloring exercise with some optional shapes plotted above/below certain candles, but I quickly realized I wanted to draw lines or zones from these candles, so eventually, after many hours spent figuring out and learning 'line.new' and 'box.new' I got things sorted.
Essentially, my line of thinking is that on impulsive candles down, the origin of the impulse is more important than the close (not always of course, as there are no unbreakable rules in what markets can do), and with impulsive candles up, the same theory applies.
So, for upward impulsive candles I've marked out the zone from the open to the low as a support (until broken, in which case it may become resistance). For downward impulsive candles the zone encompasses the open to the high. I've given the option to plot a line from the close for all of these. It's turned off by default as it's just less stuff on the chart, but you may like it.
The line length is customizable in a menu. It does funny things on low timeframes on forex and stock charts (long lines that result in chart compression), but for some reason very rarely on crypto charts. If someone who is smart (not me) and has much experience with pinescript could perhaps help me out with a fix for this, that would be great. I suspect it has something to do with my "bar_index_duration" that I defined using the time function, but I'm not sure how or why.
Line length on time frames of one hour and up it is typically fine.
Use the ATR multiple to change the sensitivity of the indicator. This is basically the determination of when a candle is beyond the ATR. A multiple of two is two times the ATR. With lower volatile pairs you can maybe make this lower. On lower time frames or with more volatile pairs (illiquid alts in particular) a higher multiple might serve better. I find the default 1.75 is mostly acceptable.
As I started this I also thought adding some sort of volume information to the candles might be useful as well, so I added a simple candle coloring feature referencing the OBV and a 21 period EMA. Candles are colored based on the OBV's relation to its moving average.
I added some plot shapes and candle coloring utilizing the RSI as well. Options to turn on or off shapes plotted for overbought and oversold across the top of the chart. The most interesting feature that I implemented here is a support/resistance zone around the centerline of the RSI. If the RSI is between 49 and 51 then you can have optional candle coloring, shapes plotted above the candles, and s/r zones drawn on the chart. In trending markets the centerline of the RSI will frequetly act as support or resistance, so by being alerted of this condition on the chart you can use that with actual levels marked off in order to help make a judgement on a trade. I think it's a nice addition, and an oft overlooked aspect of the usefulness of the RSI.
I've also included a calculation, with candle coloring and/or plot shapes, for something like a stop run on high volume. The calculation for that is in its section below, and should be pretty self explanatory.
Lastly, typing this as I'm posting it, this indicator could also be useful for helping to find placement for trailing a stop. Just a thought!

[PX] Session LevelHello guys,
this scripts prints the high and low as well as the moving average of a user-defined session.
How does it work?
Basically, as soon as we are in the session range, the indicator will constantly keep track of the high and the low of this range. It also prints the moving average, which can either be a floating or a static line, that represents the latest MA value.
The indicator comes with multiple options to style the printed lines.

Trade Manager (Open Source Version)Hello my young padawans looking for the FORCE to get richer on your next trade
I got pinged at least three times today asking where the hell is the indicator of the day. You asked, I delivered :)
Here's your free open-source Trade Manager Version. My associates might kill me for sharing that one... anyway this is a real GIFT.
I won't share such quality indicators too often for FREE so hope you'll appreciate its value. It can really help with your day to day trading (on top of making your charts looking more awesome)
This is an even better version compared to my previous Trade Manager Trade-Manager . It's basically a standalone version, meaning you'll have to update with 2 lines your own indicator and follow my educational post from yesterday (pasted it below also) to learn how to do it
Please read this educational post I published for you before proceeding further : How-to-connect-your-indicator-with-the-Trade-Manager
From here you normally connected the data source of your own indicator to the Trade Manager. If not, here's a reminder of the article mentionned above
Step 1 - Update your indicator
For the screenshot you see above, I used this indicator : Two-MM-Cross-MACD/ . "But sir are you really advertising your other indicators here ??" ... hmmm.... YES but I gave them for free so ... stop complaining my friend :)
Somewhere in the code you'll have a LONG and a SHORT condition. If not, please go back to study trading for noobs (I'm kidding !!!)
So it should look to something similar
nUP = ma_crossover and macd_crossover
nDN = ma_crossunder and macd_crossunder
What you will need to add at the very end of your script is a Signal plot that will be captured by the Trade Manager. This will give us :
// Signal plot to be used as external
// if crossover, sends 1, otherwise sends -1
Signal = (nUP) ? 1 : (nDN) ? -1 : na
plot(Signal, title="Signal")
The Trade Manager engines expects to receive 1 for a bullishg signal and -1 for bearish .
Step 2 - Add the Trade Manager to your chart and select the right Data Source
I feel the questions coming so I prefer to anticipate :) When you add the Trade Manager to your chart, nothing will be displayed. THIS IS NORMAL because you'll have to select the Data Source to be "Signal"
Remember our Signal variable from the Two MM Cross from before, now we'll capture it and.....drumb rolll...... that's from that moment that your life became even more AWESOME
The Engine will capture the last signal from the MM cross or any indicator actually and will update the Stop Loss, Take Profit levels based on the parameters you set on the Trade Manager
It should work with any indicator as long as you're providing a plot Signal with values 1 and -1 . In any case, you can change the Trade Manager you'll find a better logic for your trading
Now let's cover the different parameters of the tool
It should be straightforward but better to explain everything here
+Label lines : if unchecked, no SL/TPs/... will be displayed
+Show Stop Loss Signal : Will display the stop loss label. You have the choice between three options :
By default, the Stop Loss is set to NONE. You'll have to select a different option to enable the Stop Loss for real
++Percentage : Will set the SL at a percent distance from the price
++Fixed : SL fixed at a static price
++Trailing % : Trailing stop loss based on percentage level
The following is a KEY feature and I got asked for it many times those past two days. I got annoyed of getting the same request so I just did it
++Trailing TP: Will move the Stop Loss if the take profit levels are hit
Example: if TP1 is hit, SL will be moved to breakeven. If TP2 is hit, SL will be moved from TP1 to TP2
+Take Profit 1,2,3 : Visually define the three Take Profit levels. Those are percentage levels .
Meaning if you set TP1 = 2, it will set the TP1 level 2% away from the entry signal
Please note that once a Take profit level is reached, it will magically disappear. This is to be expected
I'll share in the future a way more complete version with invalidation, stop loss/take profits based on indicator, take profit based on supports/resistances, ...
I believe is such a great tool because can be connected to any indicator. I confess that I tried it only with a few... if you find any that's not working with the Trade manager, please let me know and I'll have a look
PS
I want to give a HUUUUUUUGE shoutout to the PineCoders community who helped me finishing it
Wishing you all the best and a pleasant experience with my work

Volume Profile Free Pro (25 Levels Value Area VWAP) by RRBVolume Profile Free Pro by RagingRocketBull 2019
Version 1.0
All available Volume Profile Free Pro versions are listed below (They are very similar and I don't want to publish them as separate indicators):
ver 1.0: style columns implementation
ver 2.0: style histogram implementation
ver 3.0: style line implementation
This indicator calculates Volume Profile for a given range and shows it as a histogram consisting of 25 horizontal bars.
It can also show Point of Control (POC), Developing POC, Value Area/VWAP StdDev High/Low as dynamically moving levels.
Free accounts can't access Standard TradingView Volume Profile, hence this indicator.
There are 3 basic methods to calculate the Value Area for a session.
- original method developed by Steidlmayr (calculated around POC)
- classical method using StdDev (calculated around the mean VWAP)
- another method based on the mean absolute deviation (calculated around the median)
POC is a high volume node and can be used as support/resistance. But when far from the day's average price it may not be as good a trend filter as the other methods.
The 80% Rule: When the market opens above/below the Value Area and then returns/stays back inside for 2 consecutive 30min periods it has 80% chance of filling VA (like a gap).
There are several versions: Free, Free Pro, Free MAX. This is the Free Pro version. The Differences are listed below:
- Free: 30 levels, Buy/Sell/Total Volume Profile views, POC
- Free Pro: 25 levels, +Developing POC, Value Area/VWAP High/Low Levels, Above/Below Area Dimming
- Free MAX: 50 levels, packed to the limit
Features:
- Volume Profile with up to 25 levels (3 implementations)
- POC, Developing POC Levels
- Buy/Sell/Total/Side by Side View modes
- Side Cover
- Value Area, VAH/VAL dynamic levels
- VWAP High/Low dynamic levels with Source, Length, StdDev as params
- Show/Hide all levels
- Dim Non Value Area Zones
- Custom Range with Highlighting
- 3 Anchor points for Volume Profile
- Flip Levels Horizontally
- Adjustable width, offset and spacing of levels
- Custom Color for POC/VA/VWAP levels and Transparency for buy/sell levels
Usage:
- specify max_level/min_level for a range (required in ver 1.0/2.0, auto/optional in ver 3.0 = set to highest/lowest)
- select range (start_bar, range length), confirm with range highlighting
- select mode Value Area or VWAP to show corresponding levels.
- flip/select anchor point to position the buy/sell levels, adjust width and spacing as needed
- select Buy/Sell/Total/Side by Side view mode
- use POC/Developing POC/VA/VWAP High/Low as S/R levels. Usually daily values from 1-3 days back are used as levels for the current day.
- Green - buy volume of a specific price level in a range, Red - sell volume. Green + Red = Total volume of a price level in a range
There's no native support for vertical histograms in Pinescript (with price axis as base)
Basically, there are 4 ways to plot a series of horizontal bars stacked on top of each other:
1. plotshape style labeldown (ver 0 prototype discarded)
- you can have a set of fixed width/height text labels consisting of a series of underscores and moving dynamically as levels. Level offset controls visible length.
- you can move levels and scale the base width of the volume profile histogram dynamically
- you can calculate the highest/lowest range values automatically. max_level/min_level inputs are optional
- you can't fill the gaps between levels/adjust/extend width, height - this results in a half baked volume profile and looks ugly
- fixed text level height doesn't adjust and looks bad on a log scale
- fixed font width also doesn't scale and can't be properly aligned with bars when zooming
2. plot style columns + hist_base (ver 1.0)
- you can plot long horizontal bars using a series of small adjacent vertical columns with level offsets controlling visible length.
- you can't hide/move levels of the volume profile histogram dynamically on each bar, they must be plotted at all times regardless - you can't delete the history of a plot.
- you can't scale the base width of the volume profile histogram dynamically, can't set show_last from input, must use a preset fixed width for each level
- hist_base can only be a static const expression, can't be assigned highest/lowest range values automatically - you have to specify max_level/min_level manually from input
- you can't control spacing between columns - there's an equalizer bar effect when you zoom in, and solid bars when you zoom out
- using hist_base for levels results in ugly load/redraw times - give it 3-5 sec to finalize its shape after each UI param change
- level top can be properly aligned with another level's bottom producing a clean good looking histogram
- columns are properly aligned with bars automatically
3. plot style histogram + hist_base (ver 2.0)
- you can plot long horizontal bars using a series of small vertical bars (horizontal histogram) instead of columns.
- you can control the width of each histogram bar comprising a level (spacing/horiz density). Large enough width will cause bar overlapping and give level a "solid" look regardless of zoom
- you can only set width <= 4 in UI Style - custom textbox input is provided for larger values. You can set width and plot transparency from input
- this method still uses hist_base and inherits other limitations of ver 2.0
4. plot style lines (ver 3.0)
- you can also plot long horizontal bars using lines with level offsets controlling visible length.
- lines don't need hist_base - fast and smooth redraw times
- you can calculate the highest/lowest range values automatically. max_level/min_level inputs are optional
- level top can't be properly aligned with another level's bottom and have a proper spacing because line width uses its own units and doesn't scale
- fixed line width of a level (vertical thickness) doesn't scale and looks bad on log (level overlapping)
- you can only set width <= 4 in UI Style, a custom textbox input is provided for larger values. You can set width and plot transparency from input
Notes:
- hist_base for levels results in ugly load/redraw times - give it 3-5 sec to finalize its shape after each UI param change
- indicator is slow on TFs with long history 10000+ bars
- Volume Profile/Value Area are calculated for a given range and updated on each bar. Each level has a fixed width. Offsets control visible level parts. Side Cover hides the invisible parts.
- Custom Color for POC/VA/VWAP levels - UI Style color/transparency can only change shape's color and doesn't affect textcolor, hence this additional option
- Custom Widh for levels - UI Style supports only width <= 4, hence this additional option
- POC is visible in both modes. In VWAP mode Developing POC becomes VWAP, VA High and Low => VWAP High and Low correspondingly to minimize the number of plot outputs
- You can't change buy/sell level colors (only plot transparency) - this requires 2x plot outputs exceeding max 64 limit. That's why 2 additional plots are used to dim the non Value Area zones
- Use Side by Side view to compare buy and sell volumes between each other: base width = max(total_buy_vol, total_sell_vol)
- All buy/sell volume lengths are calculated as % of a fixed base width = 100 bars (100%). You can't set show_last from input
- Sell Offset is calculated relative to Buy Offset to stack/extend sell on top of buy. Buy Offset = Zero - Buy Length. Sell Offset = Buy Offset - Sell Length = Zero - Buy Length - Sell Length
- If you see "loop too long error" - change some values in UI and it will recalculate - no need to refresh the chart
- There's no such thing as buy/sell volume, there's just volume, but for the purposes of the Volume Profile method, assume: bull candle = buy volume, bear candle = sell volume
- Volume Profile Range is limited to 5000 bars for free accounts
P.S. Cantaloupia Will be Free!

TATARI YENTatari's trend strategy:
First analyze weekly and daily looking for supports, resistances, patterns, H&S, and so on, just to have the idea about direction and borders.
If we have a good idea abou the market direction let's go to look for some opportunities in that direction with TATARI.
Time frame 4H: find a signal to open postion, at the same direction of Week and Day.
Time frame 1H: we open the position accordin to the 4H signal.
( regular multi time frame strategy so far).
Let's have a look how TATARI works.
Uptrend starts with blue and green crosses, doesn't matter if green or blu. If the first cross is blue open the position the candle after the green cross. If the first is a green cross open the first candle after the blue cross.
Downtrend starts with blue and red cross, doesn't matter if first blu or red.
Open when the trend starts and use as stop loss the green line for uptrend or the red line for downtrend.
When the silver spots appear there is a supertrend, it's time to move SL to the last swing.
Close the position when a new blue cross appears and the following cross is the other color you used to open the position. ( Usually SL is already hit)
The gray areas are for lateral market, feel free to use stoc. and BB.
Volatility Regimes | GainzAlgo📊 OVERVIEW:
=========
This is a comprehensive ATR-based trading system designed for professional
traders who need advanced volatility analysis, precise trade management, and
intelligent market regime detection. The indicator combines multiple proven
volatility concepts into one powerful, customizable tool.
⭐ WHY THIS SYSTEM IS UNIQUE AND WORTHY OF PUBLICATION:
====================================================
This is not simply a collection of ATR-based indicators placed together.
It represents a unified volatility analysis framework where each component
is specifically designed to work in concert with the others, creating a
complete trading workflow that cannot be replicated by using multiple
separate indicators.
🔗 SYNERGISTIC INTEGRATION - How Components Work Together:
🧠 1. CONTEXT-AWARE ANALYSIS
The Volatility Regime Detection acts as the "brain" of the system,
classifying market conditions into 4 distinct phases. Every other
component then adapts its behavior based on this regime classification:
- ATR Bands expand/contract with regime changes
- Stop Loss distances automatically adjust (tighter in compression,
wider in high volatility)
- Take Profit targets scale proportionally to current regime
- Signal sensitivity filters itself based on market phase
📐 2. UNIFIED VOLATILITY FOUNDATION
All calculations share a single ATR baseline calculation, ensuring
internal consistency across the entire system. When ATR changes, every
element updates in perfect synchronization:
- Bands recalculate from the same ATR value
- Risk management levels use the same volatility measurement
- Regime classification and signals reference identical data
🛡️ 3. INTEGRATED RISK MANAGEMENT
The system doesn't just show WHERE to enter - it calculates HOW MUCH
to risk:
- Dynamic Stop Loss adapts to current ATR automatically
- Position Size Calculator uses the dynamic stop to compute exact quantities
- Take Profit levels scale proportionally, maintaining optimal risk:reward
✅ 4. TWO-STAGE SIGNAL CONFIRMATION
The alert system creates a logical progression:
Step 1: Volatility Breakout → Market energy is building
Step 2: Trend Confirmation → Direction confirmed with volatility support
This prevents false breakouts by requiring both volatility AND direction.
🏦 5. PROFESSIONAL WORKFLOW INTEGRATION
The system mirrors how institutional traders analyze markets:
Phase 1: Assess regime → What's the market doing?
Phase 2: Identify setup → Where's the opportunity?
Phase 3: Calculate risk → What's my exposure?
Phase 4: Set targets → Where do I take profit?
Phase 5: Monitor regime → When do conditions change?
❌ WHY NOT USE SEPARATE INDICATORS?
- Separate ATR Bands: Don't know about regime changes, remain static
- Separate Regime Indicator: Doesn't automatically adjust stop/targets
- Separate Position Calculator: Doesn't know your actual ATR-based stop
- Manual Integration: Requires constant mental calculation and cross-referencing
🧮 DETAILED CALCULATION METHODOLOGY:
=================================
📏 ATR (AVERAGE TRUE RANGE) CALCULATION:
- True Range = Maximum of:
1. Current High - Current Low
2. Absolute value of (Current High - Previous Close)
3. Absolute value of (Current Low - Previous Close)
- ATR = Simple Moving Average of True Range over specified period (default: 14)
📊 DYNAMIC ATR BANDS:
- Upper Band = Current Close + (ATR × Band Multiplier)
- Lower Band = Current Close - (ATR × Band Multiplier)
- Band 1: 1.0× ATR (closest support/resistance)
- Band 2: 2.0× ATR (intermediate zone)
- Band 3: 3.0× ATR (extended zone)
🌡️ VOLATILITY REGIME CLASSIFICATION:
Step 1: Calculate ATR Baseline
- Baseline ATR = SMA or EMA of ATR over long period (default: 50 bars)
- This represents "normal" volatility for the instrument
Step 2: Calculate ATR Ratio
- ATR Ratio = Current ATR ÷ Baseline ATR
- Example: If current ATR = 70 and baseline = 50, ratio = 1.40
Step 3: Classify Regime Based on Ratio
- COMPRESSION: Ratio < 0.70 (ATR is 30% below normal)
Market consolidating, volatility contracting, energy building
- EXPANSION: Ratio between 1.15 and 1.40 (ATR is 15-40% above normal)
Volatility breaking out, early phase of directional movement
- HIGH VOLATILITY: Ratio > 1.40 (ATR is 40%+ above normal)
Strong sustained trend with high participation
- EXHAUSTION: ATR declining after high volatility period
Requires: Previous high ratio + declining ATR over X bars (default: 5)
Trend maturity, potential reversal or consolidation approaching
🛑 DYNAMIC STOP LOSS CALCULATION:
- For Long Positions: Stop Loss = Entry Price - (ATR × SL Multiplier)
- For Short Positions: Stop Loss = Entry Price + (ATR × SL Multiplier)
- Default Multiplier: 2.0× ATR
- Adjusts automatically: Wider in high volatility, tighter in compression
🎯 TAKE PROFIT LEVELS:
- TP1 = Entry Price ± (ATR × TP1 Multiplier)
- TP2 = Entry Price ± (ATR × TP2 Multiplier)
- TP3 = Entry Price ± (ATR × TP3 Multiplier)
- Direction (+ or -) depends on trade direction
📦 POSITION SIZE CALCULATION:
Formula: Position Size = Account Risk Amount ÷ Stop Loss Distance
Step-by-step:
1. Risk Amount = Account Size × (Risk Percentage ÷ 100)
2. Stop Distance = |Entry Price - Stop Loss Price|
3. Position Size = Risk Amount ÷ Stop Distance
📈 ATR PERCENTILE RANKING:
- >80% = Extremely high volatility
- 20-80% = Normal volatility range
- <20% = Extremely low volatility
🌀 VOLATILITY CONTRACTION PATTERN:
Detects extended low-volatility periods indicating imminent breakout.
🧭 TREND DETECTION SIGNALS:
Bullish: Price > MA AND Current ATR > ATR MA
Bearish: Price < MA AND Current ATR > ATR MA
⚡ VOLATILITY BREAKOUT SIGNALS:
Triggered when ATR exceeds its moving average by a defined threshold.

Volume-Based Indicator — Data Granularity & Table Guide
1) Critical warning about data granularity (read first)
Important: This indicator is built entirely on volume-derived calculations (volume, volume delta, and related flow metrics). Because of that, its precision is only as good as the granularity and history of the data you feed it.
The most granular view is a tick-based interval (e.g., 1T = one trade/tick). If tick-based intervals are not available for your symbol or your plan, the closest time-based approximation is a 1-second chart (1S).
If you enable any "high-precision / intrabar" options (anything that relies on the smallest updates), make sure you understand which TradingView plan you are using, because intrabar historical depth (how many bars you can load) varies by plan. More history generally means more stable baselines for volume statistics, regime detection, and long lookback features.
Plan-related notes (TradingView)
TradingView limits how many intrabar historical bars can be loaded, depending on your plan. The exact limits are defined by TradingView and can change over time, but as of the current documentation, the intrabar limits are:
• Basic: 5,000 bars
• Essential: 10,000 bars
• Plus: 10,000 bars
• Premium: 20,000 bars
• Expert: 25,000 bars
• Ultimate: 40,000 bars
Tick charts / tick-based intervals are currently positioned as a feature of professional-tier plans (e.g., Expert/Elite/Ultimate). Availability may also vary by symbol and data feed.
SessionVWAP + ORBThis TradingView Pine Script indicator combines two powerful intraday tools:
Multiple Rolling VWAPs: It plots up to four independent rolling (continuous) Volume Weighted Average Prices (VWAPs) with user-defined periods (e.g., 1-hour, 2-hour, 4-hour, daily). These are "anchored" to a customizable session start time and roll forward accurately without daily resets, providing dynamic fair-value benchmarks that react at different speeds (fastest/shortest on top).
Opening Range Breakout (ORB) Zones: It displays the high/low range (with optional background shading and lines) for major global trading sessions — Sydney, Tokyo, London, New York, and US RTH (Regular Trading Hours, starting at 9:30 ET) — over the first configurable minutes (default 30) after each session open, with history for several prior days.
The latest version adds full timezone flexibility (e.g., Chicago, New York, UTC, London, Tokyo, Sydney), automatically adjusting anchor times and session opens.
Use Case
This script is ideal for intraday and day traders (especially in stocks, futures, forex, or indices) seeking confluence between volume-based value areas and session momentum.
VWAP Component: Use the layered rolling VWAPs as dynamic support/resistance. Price above the fastest VWAPs suggests bullish bias; pullbacks to slower VWAPs offer mean-reversion entries. The multi-timeframe view helps gauge short-term vs. longer-term "fair value."
ORB Component: Trade breakouts from major session opening ranges — e.g., buy above the New York ORB high (red line) for momentum longs, or fade failures for reversals. Combine with VWAP (e.g., only take NY ORB longs if price is above session VWAP) for higher-probability filters.
Overall: Overlay on lower timeframes (1-15 min) to spot setups like ORB breakouts aligning with VWAP crosses, or use for risk management (stops beyond ORB extremes). The timezone support makes it versatile for global markets without manual adjustments.

Moving Average Structure ZigZag [Stable & Filtered]
(日本語説明)
このインジケーターは、移動平均線（MA）の転換に基づき、相場の「真の構造」を可視化するために開発されました。 通常のZigZagのように価格の単純な反転に依存せず、「MAのトレンド転換 ＋ 指定した値幅の到達」という2つの条件を用いることで、レンジ相場の細かなノイズ（ダマシ）を排除し、ダウ理論に基づいた重要な高値・安値だけを結びます。
💡 主な機能
MAタイプの切り替え: SMA, EMA, HMA, VW-HMAなど、目的に合わせたトレンド感度を選択可能。
値幅フィルター（Min Deviation）: 添付画像のように、小さな値動きをカットし、大きな市場構造だけを抽出します。
価格アクションへの追従: ラインはMAの数値ではなく、期間内の実最高値・最安値を正確に結び、高値更新時には自動で延伸されます。
🛠 活用シーン
環境認識: 上位足での大きな波形を確認し、現在のフェーズを定義。
ノイズ除去: 市場の主要な節目（レジサポ候補）の特定。
ダウ理論の視覚化: 高値・安値の切り上がり・切り下がりを明確化。
(English Description)
This indicator was developed to visualize the "True Market Structure" based on Moving Average (MA) reversals. Unlike standard ZigZag which relies solely on price reversals, this tool combines MA Trend Reversals and a Minimum Deviation filter to eliminate market noise and highlight significant swing highs and lows based on Dow Theory.
💡 Key Features
Multiple MA Types: Select from SMA, EMA, HMA, VW-HMA, etc., to match your preferred trend sensitivity.
Min Deviation Filter: As shown in the attached image, it filters out minor price fluctuations to extract only the major market waves.
Price Action Tracking: The lines connect the actual High/Low prices within the period, not the MA values themselves. Lines automatically extend when a trend continues to new highs/lows.
🛠 Use Cases
Market Context: Identify major wave patterns on higher timeframes to define the current phase.
Noise Reduction: Pinpoint key market levels and potential support/resistance.
Dow Theory Visualization: Clearly visualize higher highs/lows and trend shifts.
Settings
MA Type: Choose the type of Moving Average.
Moving Average Length: The lookback period for structure.
Min Deviation (Pips): The threshold to filter noise. Adjust according to the volatility of the pair.
Fractal Market Geometry [JOAT]
Fractal Market Geometry
Overview
Fractal Market Geometry is an open-source overlay indicator that combines fractal analysis with harmonic pattern detection, Fibonacci retracements and extensions, Elliott Wave concepts, and Wyckoff phase identification. It provides traders with a geometric framework for understanding market structure and identifying potential reversal patterns with multi-factor signal confirmation.
What This Indicator Does
The indicator calculates and displays:
Fractal Detection - Identifies fractal highs and lows using Williams-style pivot analysis with configurable period
Fractal Dimension - Calculates market complexity using range-based dimension estimation
Harmonic Patterns - Detects Gartley, Butterfly, Bat, Crab, Shark, Cypher, and ABCD patterns using Fibonacci ratios
Fibonacci Retracements - Key levels at 38.2%, 50%, and 61.8%
Fibonacci Extensions - Projection level at 161.8%
Elliott Wave Count - Simplified wave counting based on pivot detection (1-5)
Wyckoff Phase - Volume-based phase identification (Accumulation, Markup, Distribution, Neutral)
Golden Spiral Levels - ATR-based support and resistance levels using phi (1.618) ratio
Trend Detection - EMA crossover trend identification (20/50 EMA)
How It Works
Fractal detection uses a configurable period to identify swing points:
detectFractalHigh(simple int period) =>
bool result = true
float centerVal = high
for i = 0 to period - 1
if high >= centerVal or high >= centerVal
result := false
break
Harmonic pattern detection uses Fibonacci ratio analysis between swing points. Each pattern has specific ratio requirements:
Gartley: AB 0.382-0.618, BC 0.382-0.886, CD 1.27-1.618
Butterfly: AB 0.382-0.5, BC 0.382-0.886, CD 1.618-2.24
Bat: AB 0.5-0.618, BC 1.13-1.618, CD 1.618-2.24
Crab: AB 0.382-0.618, BC 0.382-0.886, CD 2.24-3.618
Shark: AB 0.382-0.618, BC 1.13-1.618, CD 1.618-2.24
Cypher: AB 0.382-0.618, BC 1.13-1.414, CD 0.786-0.886
Wyckoff phase detection analyzes volume relative to price movement:
wyckoffPhase(simple int period) =>
float avgVol = ta.sma(volume, period)
float priceChg = ta.change(close, period)
string phase = "NEUTRAL"
if volume > avgVol * 1.5 and math.abs(priceChg) < close * 0.02
phase := "ACCUMULATION"
else if volume > avgVol * 1.5 and math.abs(priceChg) > close * 0.05
phase := "MARKUP"
else if volume < avgVol * 0.7
phase := "DISTRIBUTION"
phase
Signal Generation
Signals use multi-factor confirmation for accuracy:
BUY Signal: Fractal low + Uptrend (EMA20 > EMA50) + RSI 30-55 + Bullish candle + Volume confirmation
SELL Signal: Fractal high + Downtrend (EMA20 < EMA50) + RSI 45-70 + Bearish candle + Volume confirmation
Pattern Detection: Label appears when harmonic pattern completes at current bar
Dashboard Panel (Top-Right)
Dimension - Fractal dimension value (market complexity measure)
Last High - Most recent fractal high price
Last Low - Most recent fractal low price
Pattern - Current harmonic pattern name or NONE
Elliott Wave - Current wave count (Wave 1-5) or OFF
Wyckoff - Current market phase or OFF
Trend - BULLISH, BEARISH, or NEUTRAL based on EMA crossover
Signal - BUY, SELL, or WAIT status
Visual Elements
Fractal Markers - Small triangles at fractal highs (down arrow) and lows (up arrow)
Geometry Lines - Dashed lines connecting the most recent fractal high and low
Fibonacci Levels - Clean horizontal lines at 38.2%, 50%, and 61.8% retracement levels
Fibonacci Extension - Horizontal line at 161.8% extension level
Golden Spiral Levels - Support and resistance lines based on ATR x 1.618
3D Fractal Field - Optional depth layers around swing levels (OFF by default)

Suggested Use Cases
Identify potential reversal zones using harmonic pattern completion
Use Fibonacci levels for entry, stop-loss, and target planning
Monitor Wyckoff phases for accumulation/distribution awareness
Track Elliott Wave counts for trend structure analysis
Use fractal dimension to gauge market complexity
Wait for multi-factor signal confirmation before entering trades
Timeframe Recommendations
Best on 1H to Daily charts. Lower timeframes produce more fractals but with less significance. Higher timeframes provide stronger levels and more reliable signals.
Limitations
Harmonic pattern detection uses simplified ratio ranges and may not match all textbook definitions
Elliott Wave counting is basic and does not include all wave rules
Wyckoff phase detection is volume-based approximation
Fractal dimension calculation is simplified
Signals require fractal confirmation which has inherent lag equal to the fractal period

Flexible Marubozu Detector**Flexible Marubozu Detector (v6)**
This indicator identifies **Marubozu candles** — powerful candlestick patterns indicating strong directional momentum with minimal or no shadows (wicks).
A **Bullish Marubozu** (green) shows buyers dominated the session: open ≈ low, close ≈ high.
A **Bearish Marubozu** (red) shows sellers in control: open ≈ high, close ≈ low.
Unlike strict detectors, this version allows customizable tolerance for tiny shadows, making it practical for real markets where perfect Marubozu are rare.
**Key Features**
- **Adjustable tolerance**: Max shadow % of candle range (default 5%).
- **Minimum body size**: Requires body ≥ % of range (default 90%) to filter small candles.
- **Clear labels**: "BULL MARU" below bullish, "BEAR MARU" above bearish.
- **Alerts**: Built-in conditions for Bullish/Bearish Marubozu on any timeframe.
- **Pine Script v6**: Fully compatible with the latest version for optimal performance.
**How to Use**
1. Add to chart via Indicators > Community Scripts.
2. Customize inputs: Lower tolerance for stricter detection, higher for more signals.
3. Combine with trend tools (e.g., EMA, support/resistance) for better entries/exits.
- Bullish Marubozu in uptrend → potential continuation long.
- Bearish Marubozu in downtrend → potential short.
**Why Marubozu?**
These candles signal strong conviction and often precede continuations or reversals. This detector helps spot them quickly without manual scanning.
NOTE: I use this indicator along with "Swing high low support & resistance" by Pattersmart to trade reversals. I long trade a bearish Marubozu reversal, when the Marubozu breaks through a swing low identified on the "Swing high low support & resistance" indicator.

VWAP roller autoBrief Description
VWAP Roller Auto is a TradingView Pine Script indicator that combines a rolling (resetting) Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) with dozens of dynamic support/resistance levels derived from Gann's Square of 9 principles. The VWAP resets periodically (automatically or manually) starting from a user-defined session open time, and the Gann levels "roll" with it, creating an adaptive grid of potential price reaction zones. It's designed for intraday trading and overlays directly on the price chart.
Key Features
Rolling VWAP with Custom Session Start
VWAP calculation restarts at configurable session open (default 8:30 CST, using proper Chicago timezone handling).
Auto-Adaptive Period Selection
Automatically chooses the VWAP reset period (from 2 min up to 48 hours) based on current volatility (ATR + realized range). Targets a user-defined spacing (~0.08% by default) between consecutive VWAPs to keep the grid relevant to market conditions. Falls back to manual period if disabled.
Gann Square of 9 Levels
Generates ~8 pairs of resistance (R) and support (S) levels above/below the current rolling VWAP using octave-based increments.
Two increment modes:
Points mode — fixed point steps that double octavely (e.g., 0.305, 0.610, 1.22, 2.44, etc.).
Percent mode — percentage steps scaled so the middle octave aligns near 0.025% for finer resolution on lower-priced assets.
Visual Enhancements
Colored fills between key level groups (e.g., inner ±0.25 octave in blue, ±1–2 octave zones in gray, higher extremes in yellow/red).
Labels on the right side marking important zones ("low", "normal", "high", "3/4 - ps1", "extreme - ps2").
Central VWAP line (customizable color and offset).
Table showing current period length and whether auto mode is active.
Non-Timeframe Friendly
Works on range bars, Renko, etc., using fallback settings when timeframe is non-standard.
Use Cases
Intraday Support/Resistance Trading
Treat the rolling VWAP as fair value and use the Gann-derived levels as dynamic zones for potential reversals, breakouts, or mean reversion.
Scalping and Day Trading
Auto-period ensures the grid spacing matches current volatility — tighter levels in quiet markets, wider in volatile ones — ideal for futures (ES, NQ), crypto, or forex.
Zone-Based Entries/Exits Buy near labeled support zones (e.g., "low" or "normal" volatility bottoms) when price trades below VWAP.
Sell/short near resistance zones in overbought conditions.
Watch for hits of "extreme" zones (±8 octave) as potential strong reversal signals.
Confluence Tool
Combine with order flow, volume profile, or other indicators; the colored fills highlight "value areas" similar to market profile concepts but anchored to a rolling VWAP.
In short, VWAP Roller Auto provides a sophisticated, self-adjusting Gann-inspired grid that moves with the market's fair value, helping traders identify high-probability reaction zones throughout the trading session.
EMA + Previous Candle High/LowA versatile multi-timeframe indicator that combines customizable EMAs with previous candle levels for precise support/resistance identification.
Key Features:
📊 4 Fully Customizable EMAs:
EMA 9 (Yellow) - Fast-moving for scalping
EMA 20 (Blue) - Short-term trend
EMA 50 (Orange) - Medium-term trend
EMA 200 (White) - Long-term trend direction
Each EMA is independently customizable:
Adjustable period length
Custom color selection
Line thickness (1-5)
Transparency control (0-100%)
📈 Previous Candle Levels:
Displays high/low from any timeframe (default: Daily)
Green line for Previous High
Red line for Previous Low
Customizable line style: Solid, Dashed, or Dotted
Optional shaded zone between high/low with adjustable transparency
Price labels showing exact levels
Configurable line extension (10-200 bars forward)
Use Cases:
Day traders: Use Daily high/low with fast EMAs (9/20) for intraday support/resistance
Swing traders: Use Weekly high/low with slower EMAs (50/200) for trend confirmation
Scalpers: Combine 5-min previous levels with EMA 9 for quick entries
Position traders: Weekly/Monthly levels with EMA 200 for long-term bias
Why This Indicator:
Previous timeframe highs/lows act as natural support/resistance where price often reacts. Combined with EMAs for trend confirmation, you get clear levels to enter trades with confluence. The full customization allows you to match any trading style or chart theme.

- Divergence appears (early or confirmed)
- Double confluence = high probability
**Example (Long):**
```
1. Price drops into green demand zone
2. ⚠️ Early bullish divergence fires
3. Enter long with tight stop below zone
4. Target: POC or next supply zone
```
**Risk/Reward:** 1:3 to 1:5
---
### Setup 2: POC Bounce/Rejection
**Entry:**
- Price approaches POC line
- Wait for reaction (bounce or rejection)
- Enter in direction of reaction
**Long Setup:**
```
1. Price pulls back to POC from above
2. POC acts as support
3. Bullish divergence appears (confirmation)
4. Enter long, stop below POC
```
**Short Setup:**
```
1. Price rallies to POC from below
2. POC acts as resistance
3. Bearish divergence appears
4. Enter short, stop above POC
```
**Risk/Reward:** 1:2 to 1:4
---
### Setup 3: Zone + Profile Confluence
**Entry:**
- Supply/demand zone aligns with thick profile bar
- Shows high CVD activity at that level
- Triple confluence = very high probability
**Example:**
```
1. Supply zone at 26,100
2. Profile shows heavy selling at 26,100
3. Price rallies to 26,100
4. Bearish divergence appears

## 📊 Component Details
### CVD Profile
**What the colors mean:**
- **Blue bars** = Buying CVD (demand)
- **Orange bars** = Selling CVD (supply)
- **Lighter shade** = Value Area (70% CVD)
- **Thicker bar** = More volume at that price
**How to use:**
- Thick bars = Support/Resistance
- Profile shape shows market structure
- Balanced profile = range
- Skewed profile = trend
---
### Supply/Demand Zones
**How they're detected:**
1. High Volume Node (1.5x average)
2. CVD buy/sell ratio calculated
3. Ratio ≥ 2.0 → Zone created
4. Sorted by strength (top 8 shown)
**Zone labels show:**
- Type: "Demand" or "Supply"
- Ratio: "2.8:1" = strength
**Not like other indicators:**
- ❌ Other tools use price action alone
- ✅ This uses actual CVD absorption
- Shows WHERE limit orders defended levels
---
### Point of Control (POC)
**What it shows:**
- Price with highest CVD activity
- Market's "fair value"
- Dynamic S/R level
**How to use:**
- Price above POC = bullish bias
- Price below POC = bearish bias
- POC retest = trading opportunity
- POC cross = trend change signal
**Independent lookback:**
- Profile: 150 bars (short-term)
- POC: 300 bars (longer-term context)
- Gives stable, relevant POC
---

- Great target for counter-trend trades
- POC cross = potential trend change
**"Profile tells the story"**
- Thick bars = institutional levels
- Balanced profile = range-bound
- Skewed high = distribution (top)
- Skewed low = accumulation (bottom)
**"Early warnings for entries, confirmed for confidence"**
- Early = better entry price
- Confirmed = validation
- Use both in scale-in strategy
**"Filter by timeframe"**
- 1m-5m: Very fast, many signals
- 15m: Sweet spot for most traders
- 1H-4H: High quality, fewer signals
---
## 🔧 Tuning Guide
### Too Cluttered?
**Simplify:**
```
✅ Show Divergences: ON
✅ Show POC: ON
❌ Show Zones: OFF (or reduce to 4-5)
❌ Show Value Area: OFF
❌ Divergence Labels: OFF
→ Clean chart with just lines + POC
```
### Missing Opportunities?
**More Signals:**
```
↓ Pivot Right: 6-7
↓ Early Warning Right: 2
↓ Min Bars Between: 25-30
↓ Min CVD Diff: 2-3%
↓ Min Absorption Ratio: 1.8
```
### Too Many False Signals?
**Stricter Filters:**
```
↑ Pivot Right: 12-15
↑ Min Bars Between: 60
↑ Min CVD Diff: 8-10%
↑ Min Absorption Ratio: 2.5
↓ Max Zones: 4-5
```
### POC Not Making Sense?
**Adjust POC Lookback:**
```
If too high: Increase to 400-500
If too low: Increase to 400-500
If jumping around: Increase to 500+
→ Longer lookback = more stable POC
```
---
## ❓ FAQ
**Q: Difference from CVD Divergence (standalone)?**
A: This is the **complete package**:
- Divergence tool = divergences only
- This = divergences + POC + profile + zones
- Use divergence tool for clean charts
- Use this for full analysis
**Q: Too slow/laggy?**
A: Reduce computational load:
```
Profile Rows: 18 (from 24)
Lookback: 100 (from 150)
Max Zones: 5 (from 8)
```
**Q: No volume data error?**
A: Symbol has no volume
- Works: Futures, stocks, crypto
- Maybe: Forex (broker-dependent)
- Doesn't work: Some forex pairs
**Q: Can I use just some features?**
A: Absolutely! Toggle what you want:
```
Zones only: Turn off divergences + POC
POC only: Turn off zones + divergences
Divergences only: Turn off zones + POC + profile
Mix and match as needed!
```

CVD Divergence Detector# CVD Divergence Detector
Clean, focused divergence detection using **Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD)** - one of the most reliable reversal signals in trading.
## 🎯 What It Does
Identifies divergences between **price action** and **volume delta**:
**🔻 Bearish Divergence**: Price makes Higher High, but CVD doesn't → Expect reversal DOWN
**🔺 Bullish Divergence**: Price makes Lower Low, but CVD doesn't → Expect reversal UP
## ✨ Key Features
### Two Detection Modes
**1. Confirmed Divergences** (High Accuracy)
- Solid red/green lines
- Labels: 🔻 Bear / 🔺 Bull
- Fully confirmed pivots (9 bars default)
- Win rate: ~70-80%
**2. Early Warning Mode** ⚡ (Fast Signals)
- Dashed yellow lines
- Labels: ⚠️ Early Bear / ⚠️ Early Bull
- Fires 6+ bars earlier (3 bars default)
- Win rate: ~55-65%
### Smart Filtering
- Minimum bars between signals (prevents spam)
- Minimum CVD strength requirement (filters weak signals)
- Adjustable pivot periods for any timeframe
### Four Alert Types
- 🔻 Confirmed Bearish Divergence
- 🔺 Confirmed Bullish Divergence
- ⚠️ Early Bearish Warning
- ⚠️ Early Bullish Warning
## ⚙️ Recommended Settings
**15m Day Trading** (Best for most traders):
```
Pivot Left/Right: 9
Early Warning Right: 3
Min Bars Between: 40
Min CVD Diff: 5%
Anchor TF: 1D
```
**5m Scalping**:
```
Pivot Left/Right: 7
Early Warning Right: 2
Min Bars Between: 60
Min CVD Diff: 5%
```
**1H Swing Trading**:
```
Pivot Left/Right: 12-14
Early Warning Right: 4-5
Min Bars Between: 30
Min CVD Diff: 8%
```
## 💡 Trading Strategies
### Strategy 1: Early Entry (Scalpers)
- ⚠️ Early warning → Enter immediately
- Stop: Just beyond pivot
- Target: 1:2 R/R minimum
- Trades/day: 3-8
### Strategy 2: Scale In (Day Traders)
- ⚠️ Early warning → 25% position
- 🔻 Confirmed → Add 75%
- Move stop to breakeven
- Trades/week: 5-15
### Strategy 3: Confirmation Only (Swing Traders)
- Wait for 🔻 confirmed signal only
- Wider stops (1-2 ATR)
- Hold for bigger moves
- Trades/month: 8-20
## 🎯 How to Use
1. **Install** indicator on your chart
2. **Choose** your timeframe (15m recommended to start)
3. **Enable** Early Warning for faster signals OR disable for confirmed only
4. **Set alerts** for your preferred divergence types
5. **Combine** with support/resistance for best results
## 🔧 Tuning Guide
**Too many signals?**
- Increase Pivot Right to 12-15
- Increase Min Bars Between to 60

- May not work on some forex pairs (broker-dependent)
**Performance:**
- No indicator is 100% accurate
- Always use proper risk management
- Combine with price action and S/R levels
- Quality over quantity - don't trade every signal
**Best Results:**
- Divergence AT support/resistance = high probability
- Divergence + trend reversal pattern = confluence
- Multiple timeframe confirmation = strongest signals
## 📊 What Makes This Different?
**Other divergence indicators:**
- Use RSI, MACD, or other oscillators
- Don't show actual order flow
- Often give false signals
**This indicator:**
- Uses real CVD (Cumulative Volume Delta)
- Shows actual buying/selling pressure
- Filters for quality (not quantity)
- Two modes: fast OR accurate (your choice)
- No clutter - just clean divergence lines
## 🚀 Quick Start
1. Add to chart
2. Default settings work well for 15m

## What This Indicator Does
This indicator combines two powerful concepts to identify complete market cycles:
### 1. Squeeze Momentum (LazyBear)
Detects **volatility compression** (consolidation) and subsequent **expansion** (breakout).
**Think of it like:** A spring being compressed, then released.
### 2. Multi-Timeframe Trend Exhaustion
Measures how far price has moved from its moving averages across multiple timeframes.
**Think of it like:** A rubber band being stretched—eventually it must snap back.
### The Complete Cycle
```
Consolidation → Breakout → Trend → Exhaustion → Reversion → Consolidation
```
This indicator shows you exactly where you are in this cycle.

## Visual Components
### Main Panel (Bottom)
| Element | What It Looks Like | Meaning |
|---------|-------------------|---------|
| **Colored Bars** | Green/Red histogram | Momentum strength and direction |
| **Filled Area** | Yellow/Lime/Red gradient area | Price extension from moving averages |
| **Cross at Zero** | Black/Gray/Blue cross | Squeeze state (volatility) |
| **Dashed Lines** | Horizontal red/green lines | Extension thresholds (±2σ scaled) |
---
### 1. Momentum Histogram (Colored Bars)
| Color | Direction | Meaning |
|-------|-----------|---------|
| **Bright Green** (Lime) | Up ↑ | Strong bullish momentum (increasing) |
| **Dark Green** | Up ↑ | Weak bullish momentum (decreasing) |
| **Bright Red** | Down ↓ | Strong bearish momentum (increasing) |
| **Dark Red** (Maroon) | Down ↓ | Weak bearish momentum (decreasing) |
**Key insight:** When bars change from bright to dark, momentum is fading.
---
### 2. Extension Area (Filled Gradient)
Shows how extended price is from its moving averages across 5 timeframes (5m, 15m, 1h, 4h, Daily).
| Color | Position | Meaning |
|-------|----------|---------|
| **Red** | High above zero | Severely overbought (>2σ scaled) |
| **Orange/Yellow** | Above zero | Moderately overbought |
| **Lime/Green** | Below zero | Moderately oversold |
| **Teal** | Deep below zero | Severely oversold (<-2σ scaled) |
**The area is scaled 3x** for better visibility. Actual values shown in table.
**Reading it:**
- **Area touching upper dashed line** = Price very far above averages (exhaustion territory)
- **Area touching lower dashed line** = Price very far below averages (exhaustion territory)
- **Area near zero** = Price near its averages (normal/neutral)
---
### 3. Squeeze Indicator (Cross at Zero Line)
| Color | Status | Meaning |
|-------|--------|---------|
| **Black** ⚫ | Squeeze ON | Bollinger Bands inside Keltner Channels → Low volatility, consolidation |
| **Gray** ⚪ | Squeeze OFF | Bollinger Bands outside Keltner Channels → Volatility expanding, breakout |
| **Blue** 🔵 | No Squeeze | Normal volatility conditions |
**Critical:** The transition from Black → Gray is where explosive moves begin.
---
### 4. Entry/Exit Signals
| Symbol | Type | Meaning |
|--------|------|---------|
| 🔺 **Large Green Triangle** | HC Long Entry | High Confidence long setup (Squeeze OFF + Oversold + Confluence) |
| 🔻 **Large Red Triangle** | HC Short Entry | High Confidence short setup (Squeeze OFF + Overbought + Confluence) |
| 🔺 Small green | Medium Long | Long setup without full confluence |
| 🔻 Small red | Medium Short | Short setup without full confluence |
| ✕ Orange X | Exit Long | Close long positions (exhaustion detected) |
| ✕ Teal X | Exit Short | Close short positions (exhaustion detected) |
**Trade only the LARGE triangles** for highest probability setups.

## How to Read Signals
### Perfect Long Entry (High Confidence ⭐)
**Requirements (all must be true):**
1. ⚫→⚪ Squeeze just turned OFF (gray cross)
2. 📊 Momentum bars bright GREEN and rising
3. 🔻 Extension area BELOW lower dashed line (oversold)
4. ⭐ Confluence: 3/5 or more timeframes agree (shown as "🔻" in table)
**Visual:** Large green triangle appears
**What this means:** Price was oversold across multiple timeframes, consolidated, and is now breaking out upward with fresh momentum.
**Entry:** Next candle after signal
**Stop Loss:** Below recent consolidation low
**Take Profit:** When extension area crosses back above zero, or when exit signal appears
---
### Perfect Short Entry (High Confidence ⭐)
**Requirements (all must be true):**
1. ⚫→⚪ Squeeze just turned OFF (gray cross)
2. 📊 Momentum bars bright RED and falling
3. 🔺 Extension area ABOVE upper dashed line (overbought)
4. ⭐ Confluence: 3/5 or more timeframes agree (shown as "🔺" in table)
**Visual:** Large red triangle appears
**What this means:** Price was overbought across multiple timeframes, consolidated, and is now breaking down with fresh momentum.
**Entry:** Next candle after signal
**Stop Loss:** Above recent consolidation high
**Take Profit:** When extension area crosses back below zero, or when exit signal appears
---
### Exit Signals
#### Exit Long (Orange X)
**Appears when:**
- Extension area reaches upper dashed line (>2σ)
- Momentum bars turning from bright green to dark green
- Price losing upward velocity
**Action:** Close 50-100% of position. Move stop to breakeven on remainder.
#### Exit Short (Teal X)
**Appears when:**
- Extension area reaches lower dashed line (<-2σ)
- Momentum bars turning from bright red to dark red
- Price losing downward velocity
**Action:** Close 50-100% of position. Move stop to breakeven on remainder.
---
### Medium Confidence Signals (Small Triangles)
These appear when squeeze is OFF and momentum is directional, but:
- Extension is only moderate (not extreme), OR
- Confluence is weak (<3/5 timeframes)
**How to trade:**
- Use smaller position size (50% of normal)
- Tighter stops
- Only take if other factors align (support/resistance, volume, etc.)
---
## Trading Examples
### Example 1: Classic Squeeze Play into Trend
```
Step 1: CONSOLIDATION (💤)
Chart: Price moving sideways for 10-20 candles
Indicator: Black cross at zero (Squeeze ON)
Extension: Yellow/Lime area near zero line
Action: Set alert for Squeeze OFF
Step 2: BREAKOUT (⚡)
Chart: Strong green candle breaks resistance
Indicator: Cross turns GRAY (Squeeze OFF)
Bright GREEN momentum bars appear
Extension area still near zero or slightly below
Signal: Large green triangle appears
Action: ENTER LONG
Stop loss below consolidation
Target: Extension upper line
Step 3: TRENDING (↗️)
Chart: Series of higher highs and higher lows
Indicator: Momentum bars stay bright green
Extension area rising toward upper line
Area color transitions yellow → orange → red
Action: HOLD, trailing stop
Step 4: EXHAUSTION (🔴)
Chart: Price makes new high but with smaller candle
Indicator: Extension area touches upper dashed line
Momentum bars turn DARK green (weakening)
Orange X appears
Table shows "EXHAUSTION BULL"
Action: EXIT position
Book profits
Step 5: REVERSION
Chart: Price falls back toward moving averages
Indicator: Extension area shrinks back toward zero
Red momentum bars appear
Action: Wait for next setup
```
**Result:** Caught the entire trend from breakout to exhaustion.
---
### Example 2: Failed Breakout (What NOT to Trade)
```
Situation:
- Squeeze OFF (gray cross) ✓
- Momentum bars bright green ✓
- BUT extension area ABOVE upper line (already overbought) ✗
- Confluence shows 1/5 (only one timeframe agrees) ✗
Indicator: Small green triangle (medium confidence) or no triangle
What happens: Price makes small move up, then reverses
Lesson: Don't chase extended moves even if squeeze fires.
Wait for price to be on the RIGHT SIDE of the extension lines.
```
---
### Example 3: Exhaustion Reversal Trade
```
Step 1: EXTENDED (⚠️)
Chart: Strong uptrend for days
Indicator: Extension area deep in red zone (>2σ)
Momentum still bright green but starting to shorten
Table: "EXTENDED UP" / "CAUTION LONG"
Action: Watch closely, tighten stops
Step 2: EXHAUSTION (🔴)
Chart: Price makes final push but with decreasing volume
Indicator: Momentum bars turn DARK green
Orange X appears
Table: "EXHAUSTION BULL" + "4/5 🔺"
Action: CLOSE any longs
Consider SHORT entry
Step 3: SQUEEZE FORMS (Optional)
Chart: Price starts consolidating
Indicator: Cross turns BLACK (Squeeze ON)
Extension area falling toward zero
Action: Wait for Squeeze OFF to confirm reversal
Step 4: BREAKOUT DOWN (⚡)
Indicator: Cross turns GRAY
Bright RED momentum bars
Large red triangle appears
Action: ENTER SHORT (reversal confirmed)
```
**Result:** Exited at the top, caught the reversal.

### Understanding the Table
Located in top-right corner:
| Row | Meaning |
|-----|---------|
| **Market State** | Current cycle phase (Consolidation/Breakout/Trending/Exhaustion) |
| **Squeeze** | 🔴 ON / 🟢 OFF / 🔵 No |
| **Momentum** | ↑ Bull / ↓ Bear / ~ Weak / — Neutral |
| **Extension** | Actual value in standard deviations (σ) - NOT scaled |
| **Confluence** | How many timeframes agree (X/5 🔺 or 🔻) |
| **Velocity** | Speed of extension change (↑ increasing, ↓ decreasing) |
| **ACTION** | What to do right now |
**Most important rows:**
1. **Market State** - Quick glance at current cycle
2. **Confluence** - Determines signal quality
3. **ACTION** - Direct guidance
---
## Best Practices
### ✅ DO
1. **Wait for High Confidence signals** (large triangles)
- Don't trade every small signal
- Quality over quantity
2. **Use the complete cycle**
- Enter on Breakout (⚡)
- Hold through Trending (↗️/↘️)
- Exit on Exhaustion (🔴/🟢)
3. **Respect confluence**
- 4/5 or 5/5 = Excellent probability
- 3/5 = Good probability
- 1-2/5 = Skip
4. **Combine with price action**
- Support/resistance levels
- Volume confirmation
- Candlestick patterns
5. **Set alerts**
- "Squeeze OFF" - Don't miss breakouts
- "HC Long Setup" / "HC Short Setup"
- "Exit Long" / "Exit Short"
6. **Scale positions**
- Enter 50% on signal
- Add 25% if extension confirms
- Add final 25% if momentum sustains
7. **Use proper risk management**
- Stop loss: Below/above consolidation
- Position size: 1-2% account risk
- Take profit: Extension targets or signals
---
### ❌ DON'T
1. **Don't trade Consolidation state**
- Black cross (Squeeze ON) = Wait mode
- No signals during consolidation
2. **Don't chase Extended moves**
- If extension already >2σ when Squeeze fires
- Even if momentum looks good
- Wait for reversion first
3. **Don't fight strong trends**
- If extension is growing and momentum strong
- Don't counter-trend trade
- Wait for exhaustion signals
4. **Don't ignore velocity**
- If velocity is ↑ and extension high = still dangerous
- If velocity is ↓ and extension high = safer reversal
5. **Don't trade low confluence**
- 1/5 or 2/5 = Different timeframes disagree
- High chance of false signal
6. **Don't use blindly**
- Check overall market context
- Major news events can override signals
- Trend on higher timeframe matters
7. **Don't overtrade**
- Good setups are rare (that's why they work)
- Wait for complete setup formation
---
## Quick Reference Card
### Signal Quality Checklist
**⭐⭐⭐ PERFECT SETUP (Trade this)**
- Squeeze just turned OFF (⚫→⚪)
- Momentum bright and directional
- Extension >2σ (OPPOSITE direction of entry)
- Confluence ≥3/5
- Large triangle signal
- Action says "LONG/SHORT ENTRY ⭐"
**⭐⭐ GOOD SETUP (Trade with caution)**
- Squeeze OFF
- Momentum directional
- Extension moderate
- Confluence ≥3/5
- Small triangle or Action confirms
**⭐ WEAK SETUP (Skip)**
- Low confluence (<3/5)
- Extension same direction as entry
- Momentum weak or conflicting
- Already in Extended/Exhaustion state
---
### State → Action Quick Guide
| See This State | Do This |
|---------------|---------|
| 💤 CONSOLIDATION | Wait, set alerts |
| ⚡ BREAKOUT | Enter in direction |
| ↗️/↘️ TRENDING | Hold positions |
| ⚠️ EXTENDED | Tighten stops, no new entries |
| 🔴/🟢 EXHAUSTION | Exit, consider reversal |
| — NEUTRAL | No trade |
---
## Troubleshooting
**Q: Indicator shows Exhaustion but price keeps going**
**A:** Check velocity and momentum. If still bright bars + velocity ↑, wait. True exhaustion needs momentum weakening.
**Q: Too many false signals**
**A:** Increase Min Confluence to 4/5. Use longer timeframe chart (4h instead of 1h).
**Q: Missing good trades**
**A:** Set alerts for "Squeeze OFF" and "HC Entry" signals. You can't watch charts 24/7.
**Q: Extension area looks weird**
**A:** Remember it's scaled 3x for visibility. Check table for actual values.
**Q: Which timeframe is best?**
**A:** 4H for swing trading, 1H for day trading. Lower = more signals but more noise.
**Q: Can I use this with other indicators?**
**A:** Yes! Combine with:
- Volume profile
- Support/resistance levels
- Moving averages on chart
- RSI for additional confirmation

## Final Thoughts
This indicator gives you a complete picture of market structure:
- **Where are we?** (Market State)
- **Where are we going?** (Momentum)
- **How far can it go?** (Extension)
- **When will it reverse?** (Exhaustion)
The key is **patience**. Wait for the complete setup:
1. Consolidation (⚫ Squeeze ON)
2. Breakout (⚪ Squeeze OFF)
3. Right extension direction (oversold for longs, overbought for shorts)
4. Strong confluence (3/5+)
When all pieces align, you get high-probability trades with clear entries, targets, and exits.
**Trade the cycle, not every wiggle.**

Swing Trade System# Swing Trade Strategy - Complete Guide
## Overview
This is a comprehensive swing trading indicator for TradingView that identifies high-probability trend continuation setups using multi-timeframe analysis, pullback patterns, and momentum confirmation. The strategy combines technical indicators with risk management tools to help traders capture swing moves with defined risk-reward parameters.
## What It Does
The indicator identifies two types of signals:
1. **Base Signals** (small markers) - Initial setup detection with basic criteria met
2. **High Confidence (HC) Signals** (large markers) - Fully confirmed setups with all filters passed, including optional higher timeframe confirmation
Once a HC signal triggers, the indicator automatically plots:
- Dynamic stop loss levels (trailing, break-even, or static)
- Partial take profit (TP1) at 1R
- Final take profit (TP2) at your chosen risk-reward multiple
- Real-time R-multiple tracking
- Confluence dashboard showing all conditions
## How It Works
### Core Signal Logic
The strategy identifies pullback-to-trend entries using this sequence:
**For LONG signals:**
1. **Trend Filter**: Fast EMA (20) above Slow EMA (50) = uptrend confirmed
2. **Pullback**: Previous candle closed between the two EMAs (pulled back but didn't break structure)
3. **RSI Swing Zone**: RSI between 40-60 (not overbought/oversold, just resting)
4. **Reclaim**: Current candle crosses back above Fast EMA (momentum returning)
5. **Volume Spike** (optional): Current volume > 1.5x the 20-period average
6. **HTF Confirmation** (optional): Daily timeframe shows: price > 50 EMA, RSI > 50, and rising momentum
**For SHORT signals:**
The same logic applies in reverse (downtrend, pullback above fast EMA, reclaim below, etc.)
### Risk Management Features
**Stop Loss Placement:**
- Initial stop: Swing low/high over the last 10 bars
- Can upgrade to ATR trailing stop (2x ATR below/above price)
- Can move to break-even after reaching 1R profit
**Take Profit Levels:**
- TP1: 1R (optional partial exit point)
- TP2: 2R default (adjustable to your preference)
**Position Monitoring:**
- Live R-multiple display shows current profit/loss in risk units
- Dynamic stop updates visually on chart
- Color-coded confidence score (0-100%) based on confluence of factors
## Best Way to Use These Signals
### 1. **Wait for High Confidence Signals Only**
- Don't trade every base signal (small markers)
- Only take trades when you see the large "HC L" or "HC S" markers
- These have passed all your filters including higher timeframe alignment
### 2. **Ideal Entry Timing**
**On the Signal Candle:**
- Enter at market close when HC signal fires
- This ensures all conditions were met by candle close
- Your stop and targets are calculated from this close price
**On the Next Candle (more conservative):**
- Wait for the candle after the signal
- Enter if price continues in the signal direction
- Helps avoid false breakouts but may miss some moves
### 3. **Position Sizing**
Use the automatic risk calculation:
- Your risk = Entry price - Stop loss
- Position size = (Account Risk %) ÷ (Entry - Stop)
- Example: Risk $100 on account, Entry $50, Stop $48 = $100 ÷ $2 = 50 shares
### 4. **Trade Management**
**Scaling Out:**
- Exit 50% position at TP1 (1R) to lock profits
- Move stop to break-even on remaining position
- Let rest run to TP2 (2R) or trail with ATR stop
**Manual Override:**
- If price action deteriorates (breaks below both EMAs, RSI divergence), consider early exit
- The dynamic stop is a guide, not gospel—trust price action
## Breakout vs. Retest Strategy
### Understanding Breakout Types
**1. First Touch Breakout (Aggressive)**
- HC signal fires on first touch of fast EMA after pullback
- Higher win rate if volume is strong
- Best in strongly trending markets
- Risk: Could be a false breakout if momentum weak
**2. Retest Entry (Conservative)**
- Wait for price to pull back *again* after initial HC signal
- Enter when price retests the fast EMA a second time
- Look for: lower volume on retest, RSI still in swing zone, fast EMA still above slow EMA
- Lower risk but may miss some fast moves
### Which Breakouts to Take
**Take the FIRST breakout (signal candle) when:**
- ✅ Higher timeframe is strongly aligned (HTF confirmation on)
- ✅ Volume spike is present (>1.5x average)
- ✅ Confidence score ≥70%
- ✅ Trend is fresh (EMAs recently crossed, not extended)
- ✅ Price closed strongly above/below fast EMA (not barely crossed)
- ✅ No major resistance/support nearby
**Wait for a RETEST when:**
- ⚠️ No volume confirmation on first signal
- ⚠️ Confidence score 40-69% (moderate)
- ⚠️ Price barely crossed the fast EMA (weak momentum)
- ⚠️ Trend is extended (price far from slow EMA)
- ⚠️ Major resistance/support level just ahead
- ⚠️ Late in the trading day/week (could see pullback)
### How to Trade Retests
**Setup:**
1. HC signal fires but you decide to wait
2. Price pulls back toward fast EMA over next 1-3 candles
3. Watch for second bounce at the fast EMA
**Confirmation for Retest Entry:**
- Price holds above fast EMA (for longs) without closing below it
- Volume decreases on the pullback (profit-taking, not reversal)
- RSI stays above 50 for longs (or below 50 for shorts)
- Bullish candlestick pattern forms (hammer, engulfing, etc.)
- Slow EMA is still providing support/resistance
**Retest Entry Trigger:**
- Enter when price crosses back in signal direction with momentum
- Or enter with a limit order at the fast EMA
- Use same stop loss as original signal (swing low/high)
- Targets remain the same (measured from your new entry)

## Risk Warning
This indicator is a tool, not a guarantee. Always:
- Use proper position sizing (risk 1-2% per trade)
- Respect the stop losses
- Consider market context (news, earnings, major levels)
- Backtest on your instruments before live trading
- Never override risk management for FOMO
The best signals combine technical confluence with good market conditions and disciplined execution.
