Bollinger Band Wick and SRSI Signals [MW]Introduction
This indicator uses a novel combination of Bollinger Bands, candle wicks crossing the upper and lower Bollinger Bands and baseline, and combines them with the Stochastic SRSI oscillator to provide early BUY and SELL signals in uptrends, downtrends, and in ranging price conditions.
How it’s unique
People generally understand Bollinger Bands and Keltner Channels. Buy at the bottom band, sell at the top band. However, because the bands themselves are not static, impulsive moves can render them useless. People also generally understand wicks. Candles with large wicks can represent a change in pattern, or volatile price movement. Combining those two to determine if price is reaching a pivot point is relatively novel. When Stochastic RSI (SRSI) filtering is also added, it becomes a genuinely unique combination that can be used to determine trade entries and exits.
What’s the benefit
The benefit of the indicator is that it can help potentially identify pivots WHEN THEY HAPPEN, and with potentially minimal retracement, depending on the trader’s time window. Many indicators wait for a trend to be established, or wait for a breakout to occur, or have to wait for some form of confirmation. In the interpretation used by this indicator, bands, wicks, and SRSI cycles provide both the signal and confirmation.
It takes into account 3 elements:
Price approaching the upper or lower band or the baseline - MEANING: Price is becoming extended based on calculations that use the candle trading range.
A candle wick of a defined proportion (e.g. wick is 1/2 the size of a full candle OR candle body) crosses a band or baseline, but the body does not cross the band or baseline - MEANING: Buyers and sellers are both very active.
The Stochastic RSI reading is above 80 for SELL signals and below 20 for BUY signals - MEANING: Additional confirmation that price is becoming extended based on the current cyclic price pattern.
How to Use
SIGNALS
Buy Signals - Green(ish):
B Signal - Potential pivot up from the lower band when using the preferred multiplier
B1 Signal - Potential pivot up from baseline
Sell Signals - Red(ish):
S Signal - Potential pivot down from the upper band when using the preferred multiplier
S1 Signal - Potential pivot down from the baseline
DISCUSSION
During an uptrend or downtrend, signals from the baseline can help traders identify areas where they may enter the trending move with the least amount of drawdown. In both cases, entry points can occur with baseline signals in the direction of the trend.
For example, in an uptrend (when the price is forming higher highs and higher lows, or when the baseline is rising), price tends to oscillate between the upper band and baseline. In this case, the baseline BUY signal (B3) can show an entry point.
In a downtrend (when the price is forming lower highs and lower lows, or when the baseline is falling), price tends to oscillate between the baseline and the lower band. In this case, the baseline SELL signal (S3) can show an entry point.
During consolidation, when price is ranging, price tends to oscillate between the upper and lower bands, while crossing through the baseline unperturbed. Here, entry points can occur at the upper and lower bands.
When all conditions are met at the lower band during consolidation, a BUY signal (B), can occur. This signal may also occur prior to a break out of consolidation to the upside.
When all conditions are met at the upper band during consolidation, a SELL signal (S), can occur. This signal may also occur prior to a break out of consolidation to the downside.
Additional, B1 and S1 signals can be displayed that use the baseline as the pivot level.

Calculations
Bollinger Bands are a technical analysis tool that are used to measure market volatility and identify overbought or oversold conditions in the trading of financial instruments, such as stocks, bonds, commodities, and currencies. Bollinger Bands consist of three lines plotted on a price chart:
Middle Band, Basis, or Baseline: This is typically a simple moving average (SMA) of the closing prices over a certain period. It represents the intermediate-term trend of the asset's price.
Upper Band: This is calculated by adding a certain number of standard deviations to the middle band (SMA). The upper band adjusts itself with the increase in volatility.
Lower Band: This is calculated by subtracting the same number of standard deviations from the middle band (SMA). Like the upper band, the lower band adjusts to changes in volatility.
The candle wick signals occur if the wick is at the specified ratio compared to either the entire candle or the candle body. The upper band, lower band, and baseline signals happen if the wick is the specified ratio of the total candle size. For the major signals for upper and lower bands, these occur when the wick extends outside of the bands while closing a candle inside of the bands. For the baseline signals, they occur if a wick crosses a baseline but closes on the other side.
Other Usage Notes and Limitations
To understand future price movement, this indicator assumes that 3 things must be known:
Evidence of a change of market structure. This can be demonstrated by increased volatility, consolidation, volume spikes (which can be tracked with the MW Volume Impulse Indicator) or, in the case of this indicator, candle wicks.
The potential cause of the change. It could be a VWAP line (which can be tracked with the Multi VWAP , and Multi VWAP from Gaps indicators), an event, an important support or resistance level, a key moving average, or many other things. This indicator assumes the ATR bands can be a cause.
The current position in the price cycle. Oscillators like the RSI, and MACD, are typical measures of price oscillation (other oscillators like the Price and Volume Stochastic Divergence indicator can also be useful). This indicator uses the Stochastic RSI oscillator to determine overbought and oversold conditions.
When evidence of the change appears, and the potential cause of the change is identified, and the price oscillation is at a favorable position for the desired trading direction, this indicator will generate a signal.
ATR Bands (or Keltner Channels) are used to determine when price might “revert to the mean”. Crossing, or being near the upper or lower band, can indicate an overbought or oversold condition, which could lead to a price reversal. By tracking the behavior of candle wicks during these events, we can see how active the battle is between buyers and sellers.
If the top of a wick is large, it may indicate that sellers are aggressively attempting to bring the price down. Conversely, if the bottom wick is large, it can indicate that buyers are actively trying to counter the price action caused by selling pressure.
When this wicking action occurs at times when price is not near the upper band, lower band, or baseline, it could indicate the presence of an important level. That could mean a nearby VWAP line, a supply or demand zone, a round price number, or a number of other factors. In any case, this wick may be the first indication of a price reversal.
Shorter baseline periods may be better for short period trading like scalping or day trading, while longer period baselines can show signals that are better suited to swing trading, or longer term investing.
It's important for traders to be aware of the limitations of any indicator and to use them as part of a broader, well-rounded trading strategy that includes risk management, fundamental analysis, and other tools that can help with reducing false signals, determining trend direction, and providing additional confirmation for a trade decision. Diversifying strategies and not relying solely on one type of indicator or analysis can help mitigate some of these risks.
The TradingView platform allows a maximum of 500 labels per chart. This means that if your settings allow for a lot of signals, labels for earlier ones may not appear if the total number of labels exceeds 500 for the chart.

Wave Pendulum Trend [QuantraSystems]Wave Pendulum Trend
Introduction
The Wave Pendulum Trend (𝓟𝓮𝓷𝓭𝓾𝓵𝓾𝓶 𝓣𝓻𝓮𝓷𝓭) extrapolates market trends using physical principles derived from waves and pendulums. This indicator is a bespoke build, and its performance and behavior cannot be compared to existing indicators.
It is designed for trend following but is also effective for identifying mean reversions, momentum strength, and shows range-bound market periods within the dynamic bands.
In order to ascertain a smooth yet rapid trend direction of the market, the 𝓟𝓮𝓷𝓭𝓾𝓵𝓾𝓶 𝓣𝓻𝓮𝓷𝓭 combines several factors. A bespoke set of functions captures the momentum of price movements and dynamically weighs it over time. The indicator then extrapolates acceleration from the change in delta of price movements.
Legend
With bar coloring enabled, the price section mirrors current trend conditions. Please keep this feature disabled if you intend to use multiple indicators to avoid confusion.
The 𝓟𝓮𝓷𝓭𝓾𝓵𝓾𝓶 𝓣𝓻𝓮𝓷𝓭 presents extensive market insights. The purple and green bands around the oscillator signal the selected standard deviation (default σ = 2), for the trader to calculate how common the trending movements are in relation to the selected asset’s history.
The inner, dynamic thresholds, indicated by the blue “Range-bound market” label in the graphic above, border the area that signals a ranging market if both 𝓐𝓬𝓬𝓮𝓵𝓮𝓻𝓪𝓽𝓲𝓸𝓷 and 𝓜𝓸𝓶𝓮𝓷𝓽𝓾𝓶 signals remain inside. If either line exceeds these thresholds, care is advised as a shift in market behavior is underway.
“Trend strength” in the graphic provides a good estimate for the trending movements strength.
If the signal lines exceed the set standard deviation in non-classic mode, a reversal is very likely.
Case Study
As shown in the above case study we see two profitable swing trades on the 4H chart of Ethereum. Please note the display variant here is set to “Heikin-Ashi”.
We always recommend using a multitude of indicators to attain multiple signals on the likelihood of opening the correct position. However, this standalone scenario serves as an example on how the 𝓟𝓮𝓷𝓭𝓾𝓵𝓾𝓶 𝓣𝓻𝓮𝓷𝓭 added two profitable swing trades.
The first short trade was opened after the 𝓐𝓬𝓬𝓮𝓵𝓮𝓻𝓪𝓽𝓲𝓸𝓷 and 𝓜𝓸𝓶𝓮𝓷𝓽𝓾𝓶 reversed after crossing the threshold of standard deviation. This trade offered a late entry only, these two factors were followed late by the third signal in this case – the trend reversal. Such a trade would require additional indicators to signal at the same time, so the trader can get more confirmations. The trade was closed after 6D with an 8% gain on a 1x short position.
The second trade is a long position that enters in the same manner. The trader takes the reversal beyond the select standard deviation as a likely entry. After 7D a triple confirmation was received, as indicated by the triangle, that a reversal or at least a plateau is extremely likely. The trade was closed after 7D with a 17.23% gain on a 1x long position.

Notes
Quantra Standard Value Contents:
The Heikin-Ashi (HA) candle visualization smoothes out the signal line to provide more informative insights into momentum and trends. This allows earlier entries and exits by observing the indicator values transformed by the HA.
Various visualization options are available to adjust the indicator to the user’s preference: Aside from HA, a classic line, or a hybrid of both.
A special feature of Quantra’s indicators is that they are probabilistically built - therefore they work well as confluence and can easily be stacked to increase signal accuracy.
To add to Quantra's indicators’ utility we have added the option to change the price bars colors based on different signals:
Settings: TEMA and DEMA length settings should be longer compared to other Moving Averages (MAs). Due to its complex calculations, the indicator requires a larger amount of historical data for accurate computation.
Sensitivity to Divergences: The Wave Pendulum Trend is particularly sensitive to divergences, making it a useful tool in spotting potential trend reversals or continuations.
Trend Following and Reversions: While it is primarily used for trend following, it also excels in identifying market reversions.
Momentum and Acceleration: The interaction between momentum and acceleration is a key feature of this indicator.
Visualization: The indicator offers various visualization options, including bar coloring based on HA Candles and extremes and trends. It also introduces a novel approach to visualizing the oscillator in the "Classic" mode and provides an adjustable Standard Deviation (SD) measure for reversal signals in non-classic modes.
Choose Mode for Coloring
Trend Following (Indicator above mid line counts as uptrend, below is downtrend)
Extremes (Everything beyond the SD bands is highlighted to signal mean reversion)
Candles (Color of HA candles as barcolor)
Reversions (Only for HA) (Reversion Signals via the triangles if HA candles change trend while beyond the SD bands, high probability entries/exits)
Methodology
The methodology behind the Wave Pendulum Trend is inspired by wave and pendulum theories to extrapolate market moves. By calculating the momentum and its acceleration from price data, it provides a nuanced view of the market trend.
Traders should observe the color coding, which reflects the interplay between momentum, acceleration, and set thresholds for acceleration. The Signal Mode is particularly useful for quickly identifying trend, momentum, and acceleration exhaustions.
Additionally, the indicator can help filter out ranges with insufficient momentum acceleration. Traders are encouraged to experiment with this mode and adjust the threshold settings to suit their strategies.

Trend Sentinel BarrierEveryone in the market wants to take profits from the trend. It is easy to think but hard to execute. In fact, some callbacks or rebounds may cause you to close the position out of fear and let you miss bigger profits.
Indicator: Trend Sentinel Barri er solves this problem for you! It use AI algorithm to help you seize profits.
It is a trend indicator, using AI algorithm to calculate the cumulative trading volume of bulls and bears, identify trend direction and opportunities, and calculate short-term average cost in combination with changes of turnover ratio in multi-period trends, so as to grasp the profit from the trend more effectively without being cheated.
💠Usage：
Signal: "BUY" means bullish trend, "SELL" means bearish trend.
Support and resistance range: "red area" represents strong support or resistance for long-term fluctuation costs, and "blue area" represents moderate support of resistance for short-term fluctuation costs.
🎈Tip I：
When the BUY and SELL signal appear, it means that the direction of the trend will change, and the color of the candles will also change. Don't care about the color of the candles, let's just focus on the price, support and resistance.
🎈Tip II：
Take the BUY signal as an example. When the signal appears and you hold long position, you need to pay attention to the blue and red support range. If the price returns to this range but there is no SELL signal, you can consider holding the long position for a while.
If the price pump with long candles, and then pulls back to the range, you need to be vigilant. You can consider taking the profit when the price breakthrough the support range, or wait for the SELL signal.
🎈Advanced tip I：
In most cases, the trend market is not smooth, there will be a lot of callbacks or rebounds, but because of this, we have many opportunities to do swing trading.
Continuing to take the BUY signal as an example, when this signal appears, every time the price falls back to the blue or red support area, you can consider adding positions. There are two ways to deal with these newly added positions.
One is to do swing trading. You can consider taking profits near the previous high when the price rises. The advantage of this operation is that you can get more profits in the same trend market.
The second is to continue to hold it as the bottom position until the general trend is completely over, and then close the position after obtaining huge profits.
🎈Advanced tip II：
When using advanced tips I, you can consider adding some momentum indicators to assist you in judging whether pullbacks or rebounds have failed, so as to increase your position. Similarly, the momentum indicator can also help you find a take-profit point for newly added positions

Optimize the alarm function. If you need to monitor the "Buy" or "Sell" signal, when creating an alarm, set the condition bar to:
Trend Sentinel Barrier --> "Buy" or "Sell" --> Crossing Up --> value --> 1
Dual Weighted RSIDescription:
The Dual Weighted RSI (DWRSI) is a custom technical analysis tool that extends the concept of the traditional Relative Strength Index (RSI) by incorporating two different RSI calculations, each with its own timeframe and weighting factor. This unique approach allows traders to analyze market momentum through a combination of RSIs from different timeframes, providing a more nuanced and customizable view of market conditions.
The DWRSI calculates two separate RSIs based on user-defined timeframes (e.g., daily, weekly) and applies a scale factor to each RSI, ranging from 0 to 1. This scale factor determines the contribution of each RSI to the final combined value: a factor of 1 means the full value of the RSI is used, 0 means none of the value is used, and 0.5 means half of the value is used. The final DWRSI value is the sum of these scaled RSIs, offering a unique perspective on market trends.
How to Use:
Add the Indicator: Search for "Dual Weighted RSI" or "DWRSI" in the TradingView indicators list and add it to your chart.
Set the Parameters:
First RSI Length: Set the period length for the first RSI calculation.
First RSI Timeframe: Choose the timeframe for the first RSI (e.g., "D" for daily).
First RSI Scale Factor: Adjust the scale factor for the first RSI (0 to 1).
Second RSI Length: Set the period length for the second RSI calculation.
Second RSI Timeframe: Choose the timeframe for the second RSI (e.g., "W" for weekly).
Second RSI Scale Factor: Adjust the scale factor for the second RSI (0 to 1).
Interpret the DWRSI:
A rising DWRSI indicates increasing bullish momentum, while a falling DWRSI suggests growing bearish momentum.
Compare the DWRSI with the individual RSI plots to assess the influence of different timeframes.
Trading Signals:
Potential buy signals are indicated when the DWRSI crosses above key levels (e.g., 30 or 50).
Potential sell signals are suggested when the DWRSI crosses below key levels (e.g., 70 or 50).
Use Cases:
DWRSI is ideal for traders who want to combine short-term and long-term momentum analysis.
It suits various trading styles, including swing trading, day trading, and positional trading.

Minervini Stage 2 AnalysisHandbook for Minervini Stage 2 Analysis Indicator
Introduction
This handbook provides detailed instructions and guidelines for using the Minervini Stage 2 Analysis Indicator based on Mark Minervini's swing trading methodology. This indicator is designed for traders focusing on US stocks, aiming to capture gains in medium to short-term uptrends (swing trading).
Understanding Stage 2
Stage 2 represents a bullish uptrend in a stock's price. Mark Minervini emphasizes entering long positions during this phase. The stage is identified using four key criteria related to moving averages (MAs).
Indicator Criteria
Stock Price Above MA 150 and 200: Indicates an overall uptrend.
MA 150 Above MA 200: Signals a stronger medium-term trend compared to the long-term trend.
MA 200 Trending Up for At Least 1 Month (22 Days): Confirms a stable uptrend.
MA 50 Above Both MA 150 and 200: Shows short-term strength and momentum.
Using the Indicator
Entering Trades: Consider long positions when all four criteria are met. This signifies that the stock is in a Stage 2 uptrend.
Monitoring Trades: Regularly check if the stock continues to meet these criteria. The indicator provides a clear visual and textual representation for ease of monitoring.
Alarm Signals and Exit Strategy
One Criterion Not Met: This serves as an alarm signal. Increased vigilance is required, and traders should prepare for a potential exit.
Two Criteria Not Met: Strong indication to close the trade. This suggests the stock may be transitioning out of Stage 2, increasing the risk of holding the position.
Risk Management
Stop-Loss Orders: Consider setting a trailing stop-loss to protect profits and minimize losses.
Position Sizing: Adjust position sizes according to your risk tolerance and portfolio strategy.
Volume and Relative Strength Analysis
Volume Analysis: Look for increased trading volume as confirmation when the stock price moves above key MAs.
Relative Strength (RS) Rating: Compare the stock's performance to the broader market to gauge its strength.
Limitations and Considerations
Market Conditions: The indicator's effectiveness may vary with market conditions. It is more reliable in a bullish market environment.
Supplementary Analysis: Combine this indicator with other analysis methods (fundamental, technical) for a holistic approach.
Continuous Learning: Stay updated with market trends and adjust your strategy accordingly.
Conclusion
The Minervini Stage 2 Analysis Indicator is a powerful tool for identifying potential long positions in uptrending stocks. Its reliance on specific criteria aligns with Mark Minervini's proven swing trading strategy. However, always exercise due diligence and risk management in your trading decisions.
ATR Range Accumulation by Standard Deviation and Volume [SS]So, this is an indicator/premise I have been experimenting with, which mixes ATR with Z-Score and Volume metrics.
What does the indicator do?
The indicator, on the lower timeframes, uses an ATR approach to determine short-term ranges. It takes the average ATR range over a designated lookback period and plots out the levels like so:
It then calculates the Z-Score for these ATR targets (shown in the chart above) and calculates, over the designated lookback period, how often price accumulates at that standard deviation level.
The indicator is essentially a hybrid of my Z-Score Support and Resistance indicator and my frequency distribution indicator. It combines both concepts into one.
You also have the option of sorting by volume accumulation. This will display the accumulation of the ranges by volume accumulation, like so:
Larger Timeframes:
If you want to see the accumulation by volume or standard deviation on the larger timeframes, you can. Simply toggle on your preferred setting:
Show Total Accumulation Breakdown:
This will break down the levels, over the lookback period, by standard deviation. This is similar to the Z-Score support and resistance indicator. It will then show you how often price accumulates at these various standard deviation levels. Here is an example on the daily timeframe using the 1D chart settings:
Inversely, you can repeat this, with the Z-Score levels, but show accumulation by volume. This will print 5 boxes, which are between +3 Standard Deviations and -3 Standard Deviations, like so:
Here we can see that 61% of volume accumulation is between -1 and 1 standard deviation.
Using it to Trade:
For swing trading, I suggest using the larger timeframe information. However, for both swing and day traders, it is also helpful to use the ATR display. You can modify the ATR display to show the levels on any timeframe by selecting which timeframe you would like to see ATR ranges for. If you are trading on the 1 or 5-minute chart, I suggest leaving the levels at no shorter than a 60-minute timeframe.
You can also use these levels on the daily for the weekly levels, etc.
The accumulation being shown will be based on the current chart timeframe. This is a function of Pinescript, but in this case, it's actually advantageous because if you are trading on the shorter timeframe, and a level has 0% recent accumulation, it's unlikely we will see that level soon or overly quickly. Intraday retracements will generally happen to areas of high accumulation.
How this indicator is different:
The difference in this indicator comes from its focus on accumulation in relation to Standard Deviation. There is one thing that is consistent among retail traders, algorithms, market makers, and funds, and that is looking at the market in terms of standard deviation. Each person, market maker, and algorithm may be slightly nuanced in how it conceptualizes standard deviation (whether it be since the inception of the ticker (or IPO), or the previous 500 days, or the previous 100 days, etc.), but the premise remains consistent. Standard Deviation is a really important, if not the most important, metric to pay attention to. Another important metric is volume. Thus, the premise is that combining volume accumulation with standard deviation should, theoretically, be telling. We can see the extent of buying at various standard deviations and whether a stock is really a buy or not.
And that's the indicator! Hope you enjoy it. Leave your comments and questions below.

Momentum Candle
bar’s open price (open) from its close price (close). That gives the size of the bar’s body.
The difference between the open and closed is the candle’s body range.
The colour of a candle’s body shows the direction of prices.
if Close > Open then it's Bullish Body Candle & if close < open then it's Bearish Body Candle.
Stronger the interest of buyers or sellers is reflected in the formation of the Body of Candle.
When the body is indeed more than 50% bigger than the average size of a candle
then it will show Momentum on the chart.
we can see the Colour of the candle Changes When it is Stronger than the Average candle & Body size is Bigger than the Average Candle size.
Depending upon Bullish or Bearish the candle Colour Changes to Indicate the Strong Presence of the Buyer or Seller
The Candle which strong but not solid and above Average then it will show Normal Colour Of Candle and the Candle which is Below Average will have no colour on Volume Like Bars on the Chart & chart no effect on the candle colour.
Buyer or Seller's Activity is always reflected in Candle. This helps us to make Trade Decisions.
If Solid Candle at Support or Resistance give or add more Conviction. If Found At Support or resistance will act as Reversal. If found at Swing Low or Retracement, it will help to take trade accordingly with the main trend.
Solid Candle Helps in Good Risk to Reward. Mark the High and Low Of the Strong Candle and observe the Price Action.
as long as the candle is trading below average helps us to take action for Range Breakout & saves us from Taking Entry in Range.
The Distribution at the Top and consolidation at the Bottom can be Observed by the Behaviour of Candles on the Chart.
The candle is always a little first step of price action, Whatever Happens in the market is always first printed in a candle,
The Leader Candle or Momentum Candle with Follow always Decides the Trend.
It's Simple But useful in Day Trading as well as in Swing Trading or Positional Trading too
MTF Market Structure - SMC IndicatorsThe Multi Timeframe Market Structure helps understand and identify bullish or bearish Market Structure by highlighting “KEY” Highs and Lows. It also identifies changes in market direction by identifying a “Shift in Market Structure” (See Point 2 below) or “Break in Market Structure” (See Point 3 Below).
What are Key Highs and Lows?
Not every high or low is a “Key” high or low. “Key” highs and lows are specific highs and lows that form the structure of the market and have significance in understanding the current trend in the market (see point 1 below).
The indicator identifies these “Key” highs and lows on multiple time frames, allowing the trader to keep a perspective of the Market Structure with multiple timeframes simultaneously (see point 5 below).
The key highs and lows identified by the indicator are as follows:
Key Lows : Identify significant Swing Lows, Short-term lows “STL”, Intermediate-Term Lows “ITL”, and Long-Term Lows “LTL”.
Key Highs : Identify significant Swing Highs, Short-term highs “STH”, Intermediate-Term Highs “ITH”, and Long-Term Highs “LTH”.
Significant Swing High : This is a price swing with one lower candle to the right and one lower candle to the left of it.
Significant Swing Low : This is a price swing with one higher candle to the right and one higher candle to the left of it.
Short-Term High “STH” is a price swing with one lower Significant Swing High to the right and one lower Significant Swing High to the left of it.
Short-Term Low “STL” is a price swing with one higher Significant Swing Low to the right and one higher Significant Swing Low to the left of it.
Intermediate-Term High “ITH” is a price swing with one lower STH to the right and one lower STH to the left of it.
Intermediate-Term Low “ITL” is a price swing with one higher STL to the right and one higher STL to the left of it.
Long-Term High “LTH” is a price swing with one lower ITH to the right and one lower ITH to the left of it.
Long-Term Low “ITL” is a price swing with one higher ITL to the right and one higher ITL to the left of it.
By identifying key highs and lows using the Market Structure Indicator, it can be used in multiple ways by using those reference points as follows:
1. Identifying Market Trends by Connecting Key Highs and Lows.
Bullish trend identification is when the indicator is making higher ITLs and ITHs.
Bearish Trend identification when the indicator is making lower ITLs and ITHs.
PS: it’s essential to understand the underlying market trend on multiple timeframes to use the next features correctly. Always use the Shifts and Breaks in Market Structures in line with the 1H or higher timeframes Market Trend for higher probability trade opportunities. This is because, generally, higher timeframes have more importance than lower timeframes.
2. Shift In Market Structure - SMS for Entries
A Shift in Market Structure “SMS” identifies potential reversal in short-term market trend relative to the timeframe where the SMS is identified.
This occurs after a run of any Significant Swing High or Low and then reversing, creating a Fair Value Gap “FVG”.
There can be Bullish and Bearish Market Structure Shifts.
When a Bullish Shift in Market Structure occurs, the indicator identifies an opportunity for the price to change from Bearish to Bullish, as seen in the image below.
When a Bearish Shift in Market Structure occurs, the indicator identifies an opportunity for the price to change from Bullish to Bearish.
3. Break In Market Structure - BMS for Entries
A Break in Market Structure “BMS” has a similar function to the Shift in Market Structure “SMS”; however, when it occurs, it identifies a potential longer-term trend reversal (compared to the SMS) relative to the timeframe where the BMS is identified.
Unlike “SMS”, the BMS occurs after a run only after a run on Key Highs or Lows.
Similar to the SMS, there can be Bullish and Bearish Breaks in Market Structure.
When a Bullish Break in Market Structure occurs, the indicator identifies an opportunity for a longer-term trend change from Bearish to Bullish, as seen in the image below.
The FVG must occur in the lower 50% of the impulse price leg (at Discount).
When a Bearish Break in Market Structure occurs, the indicator identifies an opportunity for a longer-term trend change from Bullish to Bearish.
The FVG must occur in the upper 50% of the impulse price leg (at Premium).
4. Inversion Break and Shift in Market Structure for Early Entries
Inversion “BMS” and “SMS” are similar to the normal SMS and BMS, but they occur:
Bullish: When the FVG of the Bearish BMS/SMS forms in the lower 50% of the impulse price leg (at Discount).
We use the FVG that forms from the Bearish SMS/BMS as an inversion FVG for potential entry after market trend change from Bearish to Bullish.
Bearish: When the FVG of the Bullish BMS/SMS forms in the upper 50% of the impulse price leg (at Premium).
We use the FVG that forms from the Bullish SMS/BMS as an inversion FVG for potential entry after market trend change from Bullish to Bearish.
5. Multi Time Frame analysis
The indicator allows multiple timeframe perspectives to be considered when using it.
The key Highs and Lows have significance not only on the current timeframe they are identified but also on lower or higher timeframes simultaneously.
This is because a ITL/ITH on the 1H means
It’s a LTL/LTH on one or more timeframes lower (15Min, 5M, and 1Min).
And at the same time, it’s a STL/STH on one timeframe higher (4H)
Also, it’s a Significant Low/High (marked with a dot) on two timeframes higher (Daily).
The same logic applies to all other Key Highs and Lows.
Another example is a Significant Low/High (swing marked with a dot below or above it) on the current timeframe (1D) means it’s a STL/STH on one timeframe lower (4H) and an ITL/ITH on two timeframes lower (1H) and a LTH/LTH on three timeframes lower or more (15M, 5M, 1Min, 30 Seconds, etc…).
This Multi-time frame analysis is a great way to help traders understand Market Structure and Market trend on multiple timeframes simultaneously, and it also assists in Top-down analysis.
PS: Note that this multi-timeframe analysis approach and logic can be applied to any timeframe and for any type of trading (swing trading, day trading, scalping, or short-term trading) because the price is fractal.
For example, if a trader is a swing trader, then it’s best to identify trader opportunities on the 1H or higher; however, lower timeframes Market Structure can still be used to help the traders refine their entries and target key highs and lows in the opposite direction.
If a trader is a day trader or a scalper, the trader could use Market Structure on 15M or lower to identify trader opportunities and target key highs and lows in the opposite direction.
6. Setting Targets
The indicator can also be used to identify potential targets after the SMS or BMS occurs. Targets can be chosen above Key Highs or Lows depending on the trade objective and timeframe where the trade idea is identified.
Bonus Features
Highlight Market Structure Trend
This feature is an excellent backtesting visual tool to look at changes in market trends highlighted in colours. These changes are based on the Shift or Break in of Market Structure depending on the selection option.
When "Shift/Break" in Market Structure" is selected, a Bullish trend is highlighted in blue when a Bullish Shift/Break in Market Structure Occurs and in Red when a Bearish Shift/Break in Market Structure Occurs.
Notifications
Sends notifications when there is a Shift or Break in Market Structure on the current timeframe of choice.

ESZ2023 M1 SR v231019E-mini S&P 500 Futures ESZ2023 Contract Gann Support & Resistance
Description:
Support and resistance angles based on starting date and time stamp and ending date and time stamp, extended to the right in time to show interaction with price. The method of drawing these Gann angles is different than other previously published “Gann angles” and uses an esoteric WD Gann time & price squaring calculation method that he never explicitly published but hid in plain sight in his book " Tunnel Thru the Air ". In the spirit of preserving the originality of Gann’s work, the underlying logic is not being explicitly disclosed here, only an expression of the logic derived from a ‘key’ he left us in his book.
Gann's methods were originally meant for position trading and swing trading larger timeframes. Here these Gann support and resistance levels have been adapted for intraday on the 1-minute chart.
While Gann’s method of calculating support and resistance levels works on any timeframe and instrument, these specific levels published have been calculated for the E-mini S&P 500 Futures ESZ2023 Contract.
What the script does, how it does it and how to use it:
This script draws angles on a chart that represent likely areas where price will encounter support or resistance according to what Gann called the “law of vibration”, suggesting that every instrument moved within its own vibrational frequency.
Gann’s law of vibration can be expressed on a chart as ripples created in still water are expressed by applying surface tension on the water to create the ripples. Similarly, to ripples in water, Gann’s price impulse waves cause price oscillation or ‘ripples’ that resonate through time. These support and resistance levels were calculated based on a single impulse wave in time. The angles represent where time and price square out relative to the impedance of the originating impulse wave.
To use the script, simply apply it to an ES chart on the 1-minute time frame. For improved readability, you should apply a dark theme to your chart. To troubleshoot instances where the lines won’t show for whatever reason, try refreshing the browser or re-applying the script. Panning backwards on the chart to where the line angles start will also get the angle lines to reappear.
What the Different Lines Mean:
Red – These are called ‘axis’ lines and represent very critical support and resistance levels that can signal major trend changes. The axis lines stem from a single impedance point of origin.
Yellow – These are called ‘node’ lines and represent minor support and resistance levels that can signal where price will target or retrace to as it moves towards a higher timeframe price objective. Nodal lines stem from an upper and lower node relative to the wave’s impedance center.
Preserving the Originality of the Script and Usefulness of the Lines Code:
The script dates and timestamps are being protected to deter the proliferation of tampered versions of these Gann calculations which will detract from their usefulness and make it harder for other TradingView users to find the original publisher source.
Quantum Market Strength Indicator (MSI)The Market Strength Indicator (MSI) is yet another in our stable of volume-based indicators, and as such, is a must-have tool for trading virtually any type of market and across a myriad of applications from trend trading to swing trading, scalping, and much more. While its sister indicator, the Currency Strength Indicator (CSI), helps you analyze which currencies are oversold, overbought, correlating, and trending, the MSI or Market Strength Indicator does this also, but in this case, for all markets, including stocks, ETFs, futures, and cryptocurrencies, but with one key difference – VOLUME.
As with our core methodology of volume price analysis, volume adds an entirely new dimension to trading analysis as it reveals the driving pressure behind the price action, be it strong or weak, which are all factored into the algorithm that drives the Market Strength Indicator. But with the MSI indicator, its use and application is only limited by your imagination.
For example, we can use it to see which markets are correlating and which are not so that we might use it as an intraday tool for index futures. And, of course, with knowledge gained from the stock trading and investing program, we could then further validate any analysis by setting each against the top five market cap stocks, for confirmation of strength and to give us more confidence in trading an index future.
And not just index futures, but any futures you care to consider, such as energy, metals, softs, currencies or anything else.
For day traders of stocks, you might wish to see which are correlating with one another and which are not, for example, if you are pairs trading, and also whether a particular stock is moving with the primary futures index. If not, this may be a warning sign. And of course, for ETF traders, we have the SPY, a host of ETFs, and alongside them, the sectors, such as the XLK, the XLE, and more, giving you an instant and powerful insight into sentiment across the entire market complex.
The Market Strength Indicator has much to offer; whether you are a stock investor or day trading scalper, index or ETF trader, swing trader or trend trader, it is all here as the indicator signals in a clear and intuitive way when a stock, future or ETF is overbought or oversold in all timeframes, giving you that potent insight into potential reversals from strong to weak and back again. If you enjoy getting into a trend early and trading reversals, then this is the indicator for you, but if you prefer trading trends – no problem, just jump aboard once the move has some momentum and is underway as displayed by the steepness of the line on the indicator.
It’s all here and so much more, from market correlations to market strength and weakness and in all the timeframes from seconds to months.
And just like its sister indicator, the CSI, the MSI is an oscillator that moves seamlessly from overbought to oversold and back again between a value of 100 at the top and zero at the bottom, with each instrument or market represented with a single-colored line. To help further, we’ve included two regions on the indicator to represent these states at 70 and 30, respectively, but you can change these accordingly and perhaps extend them further to 80 and 20. These levels are purely intended as guides to help provide additional information as to the market state and a potential reversal in due course.
Now, in a single indicator, you have the opportunity to gauge sentiment across multiple markets, whether these are correlating or not, and from there develop a myriad of trading opportunities, or alternatively give you that all-important confidence to dive in, or maintain an existing position. Through its unique algorithm based on volume, it is another indicator only limited by your imagination, and like all our other indicators, one we urge you to use in multiple timeframes.
Nitin Swing TradingThis is a CPR which indicates pivot points based on monthly price action.
The Orange line acts as a resistance area, blue lines act as pivot point/CPR and green one is support.
One can study retrospective chart to analyse how market has respected these Support and Resistance levels.
A guide on how to trade using this indicator?
1. If you see the resistance is broken after multiple attempt - We can Go Long
2.If you see price going down below CPR, We can Go Short
3.If you see price taking support at support level - We can Go Long.
Risk reward should always be 1:1 then gradually increase it to 1:2 & 1:3
It is advised to consult with your financial advisor before taking any trade just based on any indicator. You have to manage risk before entering any trade.

Momentum EruptionIndicator: Momentum Eruption , using momentum to capture swing trading.
⏩Principle overview:
The core of Momentum Eruption is divided into two parts. One is to identify the trend direction. This is relatively clear. It is usually more effective to identify the direction through moving averages such as SMA or EMA. The second is to identify trading opportunities and use the idea of following the trend in large cycle and reversing the trend in small cycle. For example, when the large cycle is bullish and the small cycle is callback, if there are oversold conditions, a rebound from the previous low support, a long downward pin-bar, and an increase in trading volume at the same time, the extreme value of the price rebound or correction can be calculated. When following the trend, go long at the extreme value of the callback and go short at the extreme value of the rebound.
⏩Usage：
Signal: "B" stands for long buy signal. "S" stands for short sell signal.
Support and resistance: "Purple areas" represent support areas and "yellow areas" represent resistance areas.
🧿Tip I：
Adaptive signal. Take long buying as an example. When the purple area representing the support range appears, the market is bullish. If a "B" signal appears at this time, it means that you can consider buying and do a wave of short-term trading.
Usually there will be many short-term trading opportunities in a wave of rising trend.
🧿Tip II：
Since the market is reciprocating, the indicator will prompt many signals when it is trending. Each signal is observed and used independently, and it does not prompt the closing and profit taking points. Take profit and stop loss can be set according to your own trading cycle and style.
Regardless of whether it rises or falls, there will always be many swings that can be captured in the trend.

[blackcat] L5 Dragon-Void-Dragon for Spot TradingLevel: 5
Background
First of all, this L5 technical indicator is only suitable for spot trading. Because its algorithm is only designed for one-way long, and there is no algorithm for short-selling mechanism.
This technical indicator is the main chart indicator of the integrated trend line, channel technology and moving average technology. Trendlines are straight lines connecting at least two significant highs or lows on a price chart, indicating the direction and strength of a trend. Channels are parallel lines that contain price action within a trend, showing the range and potential reversal points.
Function
Trend lines, channel indicators, and moving averages are all very good subjective technical indicators. However, I have found that if one of the three is used mechanically, or a combination of the three often does not achieve good trading results.Therefore, through continuous practice and summary, I implemented some subjective ideas through algorithms, which improved the winning rate after the integration of the three. Buy and sell points are also more accurate.This involves automatic drawing of trend lines and channel indicators. It is conceivable that if you want to draw relatively stable trend lines and channel indicators, you have to wait until the price trend is relatively stable to obtain stable trend lines and channel lines. The advantage of this is that the subsequent price may rely on this inertia to move up and down the trend line or in the channel, which can be the basis for trend reversal. On the other hand, the formation of trendlines and channel indicators requires price movements and time as prerequisites. This means that the process of waiting for the formation of the trend must also sacrifice part of the profit. This is a trade-off between corresponding characteristics and stable characteristics. What we need to do is to find a perfect balance between the two, and expand profits while keeping risks within a controllable range. Ultimately realize big wins and small losses, long-term compound interest accumulation.
The technical elements reflected in this indicator are: channel line, color of trend strength, double moving average. And through the calculation of the background algorithm, some labels for buying and selling are obtained as alarm signals.
Key Signal
Overall this indicator is quite intuitive and does not require a lot of intellect to understand how to use it. It can be summarized as:
1. If the channel is in a warm color and the direction points to the upper right corner, then go long; if the channel is in a cool color and the direction points to the lower right corner, then go short or close the position.
2. The color of the channel is changed from cool to warm. The extreme value of the cool color is dark blue, which means that it is extremely oversold; the extreme value of the warm color is purple, which means that it is extremely overbought; therefore, when you see channels in different directions, you should also pay attention to their colors, which means that the current channel is in the market Where, and if you need to be careful about price reversals.
3. Because this technical indicator is specially developed for spot trading. Therefore, if you want to enter the market, it is generally better to have the color of the channel and the candle be yellow and orange. Otherwise, it is just a rebound, and the price will repeat more later, and it is more necessary to continue to fall.
4. The double moving average system is also specially customized, mainly combined with Zen Theory's Kiss Saying. This double moving average system is a pressure and support system other than the channel. When an uptrend is relayed and continues to rise after a retracement, the Kiss, Wet-Kiss, and Fly-Kiss triggered by the double moving average will generate yellow and orange buy signal labels.
5. This system needs to wait for the price trend to stabilize before generating a buying and selling point, so there are not many buying and selling signals, and of course some entry opportunities will be missed. Of course, this is the result of sacrificing timeliness for transaction stability. So, be flexible. If your trading style is more aggressive, you can only use the buy and sell labels as auxiliary signals.
Remarks
1. It need time to stablize trendlines and channels, so "B"/"S" labels may not be so in time.
2. Closed-source, Invite-only, NOT free.
3. Highl recommended to use this indicator for >= 30min timeframe, which means this is powerful for swing trading.
4. If you are trading crypto, highly recommend use " L3 RS MSFIELD Crypto" indicator as a screener to find target is stronger than Bitcoin.
5. If you are trading CN A Share, highly recommend use " L3 RS MSFIELD CN A Share" indicator as a screener to find target is stronger than SSE Index.
Subscription
L4/L5 are not free indicators. Trail permissions can be given. Monthly and annual subscriptions are acceptable.
Supply And DemandThis supply and demand indicator uses sessions, volume spikes, higher timeframe price action and other volume calculations to spot areas on the chart where price will likely react. From the 1 minute and below charts to the daily and up charts, you can get excellent levels for any timeframe.
Why Use Supply And Demand?
One of the safest ways to trade is to wait for price to enter an area of interest where price should react. When we play reversals off of these areas, you increase the likelihood that your trade will be profitable because there was previous price action that told you that the current level is one where price will react. So we look for reversals at or very near these levels to enter into scalp or swing trade positions and look to exit that position when price is at or near the next major supply and demand level.
How To Use
The strategy with this indicator is to wait for price action to reach the levels shown by this supply and demand indicator and then enter trades at these levels, looking for a reversal. The thicker lines and the lines that are from the highest timeframes will be the most important levels on the chart. There is a table on the chart that will help you identify what timeframe the levels are using, with the color of that line next to it for easy identification.
The default settings are designed for scalping the 1-5 minute charts, so there are more levels turned on than necessary if you are using higher timeframes than 5 minutes. If you are using higher timeframes, make sure to turn off some of the lower timeframe levels so that it doesn’t clog up your charts. On the daily timeframe and above, many of the levels are coded to not turn on so that you don’t have to turn them off manually, but be aware that you will need to adjust your charts to suit your preferences, especially if you are on anything above the 5 minute chart.
For scalping, wait for price to react from the supply and demand levels by showing wicks, struggling to break through or getting reversal candles at those levels. Ride those moves to the next major supply and demand area before taking profit. You may want to turn on sessions and some of the lower timeframe levels as well if there are big gaps on the chart that are not suitable for scalping.
For swing trading, you will want to turn some of the lower timeframe and session levels off. Leave it to only higher timeframe OHLC lines and volume spike levels. Then you can swing moves that reverse off of the supply and demand lines.
Customization
This indicator is fully customizable. You can turn on or off any of the levels as well as increase the number specific levels so your charts suit your preferences.
All of the levels used are color coded individually so you can easily tell which type of level it is and these colors can be changed within the settings to suit your preferences. These colors are also reflected in the line identification table that show you exactly which color each type of level is.
There are toggles for the line identification table and session identification table as well if you don’t want them on your chart.
Types Of Levels Used
This indicator uses 4 different types of levels that I have found to be extremely influential on the price action. They are: volume spikes, higher timeframe price action, country based trading sessions and the VWAP. All of these levels have proven to be very important levels in my testing and are very helpful in spotting reversal areas.
Volume Spikes
This indicator is looking for the largest volume spikes and plotting the levels where that volume came in. It checks for the highest volume spikes across multiple different lengths of candles so that you get recent levels as well as the most important levels in the past. There are volume spike calculations for your current chart timeframe, 1 hour charts, 4 hour charts, daily charts, weekly charts, and monthly charts. Each of these looks for volume spikes across various lengths of candles for each timeframe and is color coded so you can identify which levels are which easily. The weekly and monthly volume spike levels are fatter than the normal volume spike levels with a line width of 2 to signify their importance.
OHLC Higher Timeframe Candles
This script plots levels of higher timeframe candles since price usually reacts very strongly to these levels. The levels it will produce are the high, low, open and close of the most recent closed candle of each higher timeframe. You can adjust these to show as many or as few previous HTF candles as you would like. The higher timeframe candles available to use are as follows: 1 hour, 4 hour, daily, 3 day, weekly, monthly, quarterly and yearly. The monthly, quarterly and yearly levels are fatter than the normal levels with a line width of 2 to signify their importance.
Trading Sessions
Trading sessions are very important levels because the market makers of different parts of the world are typically positioning themselves at these specific times. The number of each trading session line can be adjusted to show more or less levels depending on your preference. When you adjust the number, it will affect all lines that are enabled for that specific session. The levels available for each Tokyo, London & New York session are as follows: session premarket open, regular session open, session close, and session high & low. The session close boxes are fatter than the others with a line width of 2 to signify its importance.
VWAP & Previous Close
We all know that the VWAP aka Volume Weighted Average Price is a very important level on any chart, so we included this level as a default. However, we decided to take this a step further and include the previous daily session’s VWAP closing price and plot those levels. These are extremely important levels that you should pay very close attention to, along with the other levels mentioned above. The market makers are hedging their positions based on these levels and you will typically see very strong reactions to these levels, especially in the first hour when the markets open up. The VWAP and previous session VWAP close levels can be turned on or off and the default for the number of previous VWAP session close prices is set to 5. These levels are fatter lines because they are extremely important, so make sure to pay attention to them!
Line & Session Identification Tables
There are two tables to help you identify what is on the chart. The first is a large table in the top right that shows you the color and type of each line that is turned on so you can easily identify which lines are which. The second table is a small one at the bottom center of the chart that tells you which trading session we are currently in and what color that session is on the chart. These tables can be turned on or off and you can also change where they are on the chart by adjusting them at the bottom of the settings page.

TradeMaster ProTrading effectively requires a range of techniques, experience, and expertise. From technical analysis to market fundamentals, traders must navigate multiple factors, including market sentiment and economic conditions. However, traders often find themselves overwhelmed by market noise, making it challenging to filter out distractions and make informed decisions. To address this, we present a powerful indicator package designed to assist traders on their journey to success.
The TradeMaster indicator package encompasses a variety of trading strategies, including the SMC (Supply, Demand, and Price Action) approach, along with many other techniques. By leveraging concepts such as price action trading, support and resistance analysis, supply and demand dynamics, these indicators can empower traders to analyze entry and exit positions with precision. Unlike other forms of technical analysis that produce values or plots based on historical price data, Price Action brings you the facts straight from the source - the current price movements.
The indicator package consists of three powerful indicators that can be used individually or together to maximize trading effectiveness.
⭐ About the Pro Indicator
The Pro indicator is the cornerstone of the package, offering a comprehensive range of functions. It's strength lies in our unique structure calculation, which is based on real price action data, capturing every ticks from small intraday fluctuations to the significant high timeframe movements. The Pro Indicator reflects our personal use and deep comprehension of Smart Money Concepts. It provides streamlined tools for tracking algorithmic trends with modern visualizations, without unnecessary clutter.
In the ever-evolving trading landscape, mainstream methods and strategies can quickly become outdated as they are widely adopted. Liquidity is constantly sought after, and the best source for this is exploring and exploiting trading strategies that are widely accepted and applied. Currently, one of these strategies is the SMC (Supply, Demand, and Price Action).
It's no coincidence that our educational materials incorporate concepts such as liquidity grabs (LG) and Smart Money Traps (SMT). As the application of SMC gains popularity among retail traders, trading with this approach becomes more challenging. Therefore, the recent focus has been on reforming the SMC methodology, as it is the only method that relies on real price movements and will always work when applied correctly.
▸ What does proper application of SMC entail?
Many SMC traders associate their key areas of interest with the market structure, which is generally considered acceptable. However, depending solely on a single foundation can lead to significant deviations, which may cause notable impacts on trading results. Moreover, if the basis for the market structure calculation is inaccurate, the consequences can be even more severe. It's akin to risking money on a lottery ticket, believing it will be a winner.
Our methodology is different, and it may ensure longevity in the financial markets. The structure remains crucial, but it is not the sole foundation of everything; instead, it serves as a validation tool. Each calculation, such as order blocks (OB), Fair Value Gaps (FVG), liquidity grabs (LG), range analysis, and more, is independent and unique, separate from the structure. However, validation must ultimately come from the structure itself.
We employ individual and high-quality filters: before a function calculation is validated by the structure, it must undergo rigorous testing based on its own set of validation conditions. This approach aims to enhance robustness and accuracy, providing traders with a reliable framework for making informed trading decisions.
▸ An example for structure validation: Order Block with "Swing Sensitivity"
These order blocks will only be displayed and utilized by the script if there is a swing structure validation with a valid break. In other words, the presence of a confirmed swing Change of Character (ChoCh) or Break of Structure (BoS) is essential for the Order Block to be considered valid and relevant.
This approach ensures that the order blocks are aligned with the overall market structure and are not based on isolated or unreliable price movements. Whether it's Fair Value Gaps (FVG), Liquidity Grabs (LG), Range calculations, or other functionalities, the same underlying principle holds true. The background structure calculation serves as a validation mechanism for the data and insights generated by these functions, ensuring they adhere to the specific criteria and rules established within our methodology. By incorporating this robust validation process, traders can have confidence in the reliability and accuracy of the information provided by the indicator, allowing them to make informed trading decisions based on validated data and analysis.
👉 Usage - the general approach:
Determine your trading style using the Pro Indicator and build your basic strategy. This indicator helps you understand your trading style, whether it's swing trading, scalping or another approach. By analyzing the Pro Indicator, you gain valuable information about potential market trends, entry and exit points, and overall market sentiment.
👉 Example of usage:
In the following chart, you'll notice how we've utilized the indicator to formulate a strategic trading approach. We've employed Order Blocks equipped with volume parameters to identify crucial market zones. Simultaneously, we've leveraged swing/internal market structures to gain insights into potential long and short-term market turnarounds. Lastly, we've examined trend line liquidity zones to pinpoint probable impulses and breakouts within ongoing trends.
Now we can see how the price descended to the order block with the highest volume, which we had previously marked as our point of interest for an entry. As the price closed below the median Order Block, we noted its mitigation. After an internal CHoCH, it's directing us towards the main Order Block as a target.
👉 Smart Money Concepts Functions
Market Structure: identifies and marks key structural changes in the market, in order to visually highlight shifts in market trends and patterns. This feature is designed to alert you of significant changes in the market's behavior, signaling a potential shift from accumulation to distribution phase, or vice versa. It helps traders adapt their strategies based on evolving market dynamics.
Order Blocks: pinpoints crucial zones where large institutional investors ("smart money") have shown strong buying or selling interest recently. Order blocks can serve as a tool for identifying key levels for potential trade entries or exits.
FVGs (Fair Value Gaps): detects discrepancies between the perceived market value and actual market price, revealing potential areas for price correction. With its mitigation settings, you can fine-tune the FVG detection according to the magnitude of value misalignment you consider significant.
Liquidity Grabs: helps track "smart money" footprints by identifying levels where large institutional traders may have induced liquidity traps. Understanding these traps can aid in avoiding false market moves and optimizing trade entries.
Automatic Fibonacci Tool: Simplifying the task of identifying key Fibonacci retracement and extension levels, this tool ties Fibonacci levels to the structure for you. It aids in recognizing significant support and resistance levels, providing a clearer understanding of potential price movements.
The Smart Money Concepts trading strategy - combined with these dynamic features - becomes a powerful analytical asset for any trader, providing in-depth insights into market dynamics, trends, and potential opportunities.
👉 Algorithmic trend and dynamic support and resistance
Trend Rainbow: This proprietary feature uses our unique TRMA** method to define short-term, medium-term, and long-term market trends. It incorporates state-of-the-art visualization techniques to render the trend information in an intuitive, easily interpretable manner. It's a 21st-century tool designed for the modern trader who values both precision and simplicity.
Multi-Timeframe Moving Averages: This feature allows traders to simultaneously monitor moving averages across multiple timeframes, providing a comprehensive perspective on market trends. It helps identify dynamic support and resistance zones, key levels where price movements are likely to slow down or reverse. This function not only aids in planning potential trade entries and exits, but also calculates the precise percentage distance to these levels. Can be as well crucial for risk management, enabling traders to set stop losses and profit targets based on solid, data-driven analysis. The Multi-Timeframe Moving Averages function is a versatile tool that combines strategic planning and risk control into a single, easy-to-use feature.
👉 Unlock the Hidden Market Dynamics
Market Sessions: This feature - by default - provides a clear representation of the four major global trading sessions. Each session is distinctly marked on your trading chart, helping you visualize the specific time periods when these markets are most active. Recognizing these sessions is critical for understanding market dynamics, as the opening and closing of major markets can lead to significant price movements. Whether you're a day trader looking to exploit intra-day volatility or a long-term investor wanting to understand broader market trends, the Market Sessions feature can be a useful tool in your trading toolkit.
Divergence Functions: allow the use of unique indicators along with our proprietary ones to detect potential price reversals. As each asset has a different market maker, divergences can vary greatly across different charts and timeframes. With our Divergence Ranking Table, you can quickly determine which divergences have the highest success rates and which are the least successful on a given chart. This feature allows you to adapt your strategies to the most effective signals, enhancing your trading decisions and boosting your potential profits.
Volume Profile with delta: This feature may give traders an edge by providing an in-depth view of market activity. It illustrates the amount of trading volume at different price levels, combined with the 'delta', which is the difference between buying and selling volume. This information allows you to see areas of high trading activity and understand whether the volume is pushing the price up or down. This real-time insight into the market's supply and demand can be instrumental in identifying key support and resistance levels, predicting potential reversals, and recognizing where the market is likely to move. Similarly to Fibonacci tool, Volume Profile can be tied to the current market structure.
👉 Improve Trading Decisions
Range: This innovative feature assists traders in determining discount, premium, and equilibrium zones. It provides a unique way of visualizing price areas where a security could be overbought or oversold (premium or discount zones), and where the price is expected to be fair and balanced (equilibrium zone). Distance from current price is displayed in percentage terms, which can assist traders with crucial data for risk management and strategic planning. The Range function helps you identify the most favorable price zones for entries and set your stop-loss and take-profit levels more accurately.
Previous OHLC: This functionality offers the capability to display the previous Open, High, Low, Close values. It is primarily set on the daily timeframe and serves as an important reference for traders. Having an overview of these key levels from the previous day gives you a solid foundation on which to base today's trading decisions. Recognizing these levels can help you predict potential turning points in the market, providing an advantage in your trading strategy.
Smart Money Zones: our secret weapon for swing traders. Similarly to order blocks, these zones can accurately identify crucial areas of strong buying or selling interest by large institutional investors. However while Order Blocks focus on recent price action, Smart Money Zones take the whole chart into consideration, resulting in more established support and demand zones.
The summary graph combines six unique indicators (Momentum, Trend Strength, Volume, Volatility, Asset Strength, and Sentiment) along with Structure and Sessions. These indicators use our TRMA** method to provide a comprehensive overview of market dynamics. By consolidating these indicators into a single graph, traders can gain valuable insights into the overall market landscape.
** TRMA (Trend Rainbow Moving Averages) is a complex but customizable moving average matrix calculation that is designed to measure market trend direction, strength and shifting.
⭐ Conclusion
We hold the view that the true path to success is the synergy between the trader and the tool, contrary to the common belief that the tool itself is the sole determinant of profitability. The actual scenario is more nuanced than such an oversimplification. Our aim is to offer useful features that meet the needs of the 21st century and that we actually use.

FalconRed 5 EMA Indicator (Powerofstocks)Improved version:
This indicator is based on Subhashish Pani's "Power of Stocks" 5 EMA Strategy, which aims to identify potential buying and selling opportunities in the market. The indicator plots the 5 EMA (Exponential Moving Average) and generates Buy/Sell signals with corresponding Target and Stoploss levels.
Subhashish Pani's 5 EMA Strategy is a straightforward approach. For intraday trading, a 5-minute timeframe is recommended for selling. In this strategy, you can choose to sell futures, sell calls, or buy puts as part of your selling strategy. The goal is to capture market tops by selling at the peak, anticipating a reversal for profitable trades. Although this strategy may result in frequent stop losses, they are typically small, while the minimum target should be at least three times the risk taken. By staying aligned with the trend, significant profits can be achieved. Subhashish Pani claims that this strategy has a 60% success rate.
Strategy for Selling (Short Future/Call/Stock or Buy Put):
1. When a candle completely closes above the 5 EMA (with no part of the candle touching the 5 EMA), it is considered an Alert Candle.
2. If the next candle is also entirely above the 5 EMA and does not break the low of the previous Alert Candle, ignore the previous Alert Candle and consider the new candle as the new Alert Candle.
3. Continue shifting the Alert Candle in this manner. However, when the next candle breaks the low of the Alert Candle, take a short trade (e.g., short futures, calls, stocks, or buy puts).
4. Set the stop loss above the high of the Alert Candle, and the minimum target should be 1:3 (at least three times the stop loss).
Strategy for Buying (Buy Future/Call/Stock or Sell Put):
1. When a candle completely closes below the 5 EMA (with no part of the candle touching the 5 EMA), it is considered an Alert Candle.
2. If the next candle is also entirely below the 5 EMA and does not break the high of the previous Alert Candle, ignore the previous Alert Candle and consider the new candle as the new Alert Candle.
3. Continue shifting the Alert Candle in this manner. However, when the next candle breaks the high of the Alert Candle, take a long trade (e.g., buy futures, calls, stocks, or sell puts).
4. Set the stop loss below the low of the Alert Candle, and the minimum target should be 1:3 (at least three times the stop loss).
Buy/Sell with Additional Conditions:
An additional condition is added to the buying/selling strategy:
1. Check if the closing price of the current candle is lower than the closing price of the Alert Candle for selling, or higher than the closing price of the Alert Candle for buying.
- This condition aims to filter out false moves, potentially preventing entering trades based on temporary fluctuations. However, it may cause you to miss out on significant moves, as you will enter trades after the candle closes, rather than at the breakout point.
Note: According to Subhashish Pani, the recommended timeframe for intraday buying is 15 minutes. However, this strategy can also be applied to positional/swing trading. If used on a monthly timeframe, it can be beneficial for long-term investing as well. The rules remain the same for all types of trades and timeframes.
If you need a deeper understanding of this strategy, you can search for "Subhashish Pani's (Power of Stocks) 5 EMA Strategy" on YouTube for further explanations.
Note: This strategy is not limited to intraday trading and can be applied to positional/swing
Probability Box Rule of Thirds [PPI]█ Probability Box Rule of Thirds
The Probability Box Rule of Thirds , is a visual indicator that helps traders identify possible overbought and oversold conditions. It does this by dividing the price range – highest high minus the lowest low of a given lookback period or date range – into thirds. Each third has distinct probability characteristics and when combined represent a probability box.
We have spent years refining the probability box concept, and have previously published a How To on Trading View – "How to Trade Probability Ranges – The Critical Rule of 1/3" which can be found here:
To quickly summarize the How To – when using the Rule of Thirds , you are using a combination of statistics, probabilities of success, and prior price action to determine when to enter a trade. The visual range division helps remove subjectivity and clearly shows when the trading odds are stacked in your favor. By identifying and taking higher probability trades, you have a higher chance of success as trading is all about probability and risk management.
Implementing the Rule of Thirds starts with finding an instrument that is consolidating and identifying the nearest important support and resistance levels based on your targeted trading timeframe or lookback period.
The range between the support and resistance levels is divided into thirds to form three zones within the consolidation range.
When going LONG , you want to BUY in the bottom third of the range. Once you buy, your objective is to hold during the middle third and sell when the price enters the top third.
When you buy in the lower third, there's a 66.6% probability of success. If you buy in the middle third, you only have a 50% / 50% chance of success. Going long in the top third of the range gives you a 33.3% chance of success as you are already close to the identified resistance level.
When going SHORT , the sequence and odds are reversed. You want to SELL in the top third of the range, hold the middle third and exit in the bottom third of the range. This gives you a 66.6% chance of success when entering in the top third, a 50% / 50% chance when entering in the middle third, and a 33.3% chance in the bottom third given you are already close to the identified support level.
When the price lies in the middle third, the even 50% / 50% odds provide no probability edge and a trader is better off waiting until the price reaches the upper or lower thirds of the price range.
The Rule of Thirds allows us to quickly visually evaluate trades based on probabilities, selectively enter trades that have the highest odds of success, and avoid likely losing trades. The Rule of Thirds gives you confidence to hold trades based on prior trading ranges and provides clear levels where the prices are likely to either reverse or start trending.
The Probability Box Rule of Thirds automatically implements the first two steps of the Rule of Thirds by using the highest high and lowest low of a given lookback period to identify the support and resistance levels, and automatically divides the range into thirds. The rest of the Rule of Thirds rules remain the same.
Just having the price within the bottom thirds or top thirds, however, does not mean the price will immediately reverse. The GE chart below is an example of a stock that remained 'stuck' in the upper thirds of the price range for an extended amount of time:
And the CVS chart below is an example where the price is 'stuck' in the lower thirds of the price range:
While the price is in the upper or lower thirds, it is very important that the trader should use other indicators to identify when a significant trend reversal occurs. Once a trend reversal event happens, the trader either enters a trade AND/OR exits a trade if already in one.
When the price exceeds the bounds of the probability box, there are three possible outcomes – a strong continuation trend, the price consolidates around the probability box edge, or a trend reversal. Your favorite indicators will help determine which event is happening.
The CVS chart above is a good example of the probability box being exceeded with the last bar. The price exceeding the price range is temporary event as the price range will expand to encompass the revised price range on the next trading day.
█ Indicator Features
Each supported timeframe – Monthly, Weekly, and Daily – allows the selection of an appropriate lookback period for your trading style. The defaults are a good starting point for swing trading and long-term investing. You many need to experiment to find the optimal lookback period for your trading style.
Even if you only day trade, the Probability Box Rule of Thirds with the appropriate lookback periods can help you visualize the bigger picture of where the instrument is heading.
When viewing the charts, you can find the currently selected lookback period above the upper edge of the price range.
The indicator will display a dotted yellow line at 50% of the price range and show the line's value when requested.
The visibility of the actual thirds and border price values are controlled by the " Show Probability Box Values " checkbox. You may need to expand the chart's right margin to see the values.
The " Show Internal Labels " checkbox controls the display of the internal ⅓ Division labels and the percentage odds, along with the 50% label. This option by default is set to off.
The " Show Error Messages " checkbox controls the display of error messages and by default is turned on. Turn off to prevent error messages from being shown on intraday timeframes. Save as indicator default to prevent having to turn off this setting each time added to chart.
The color and transparency controls allow the user to modify the colors used for each third. The default settings are optimized for use with a DARK background.
█ Implementation Notes
IMPORTANT - the Probability Box Rule of Thirds is set up to only handle Monthly, Weekly and Daily charts. This is intentional as the indicator is designed to be used for safer multiple day and longer swing trades. When viewed on intraday charts, the indicator will be hidden.
The Probability Box Rule of Thirds uses a rolling window of the equivalent number of bars for the lookback period rather than relying on the bar starting and ending dates. This allows the use of a standard number of days in the selected lookback window across various instruments and ensures fast, efficient calculations.
The lookback periods are adjusted when non-standard timeframe multipliers are used – e.g., a 12M chart timeframe and a 3-year lookback period will result in a 3 bar lookback. Fractional bars in this calculation are rounded up and any incompatible lookback period and chart timeframe combination will generate a runtime error.
In summary, the Probability Box Rule of Thirds automates and visually identifies overbought and oversold areas, which combined with the Rule of Thirds probability risk profiles, increases your odds of success through better trade selections and higher confidence in your trades.

FCPO - NSawit Swing StrategyThis Indicator implements a custom strategy function in an indicator script. It works on a 4-hour time frame and exclusively for the FCPO futures market only.
The NSawit Swing Strategy consists of three main features:
Feature 1: Trade Summary
This feature utilizes the table function to summarize all completed trades within the current active month. The indicator generates a table that displays relevant trade information like total ticks and profit/loss. For example: table.new(position.top_right, 1, 4, border_width=0)
Feature 2: Active Month Highlight
The purpose of this feature is to visually mark the beginning and end of the current active month on the chart. It achieves this by dynamically changing the background color within the current active month. For example: bgcolor(Highlight ? ColorBG : na)
Feature 3: Swing Reversal Points
This feature identifies swing reversal points on the chart by analyzing candlestick patterns and applying a custom matching algorithm.
If a candlestick pattern matches the specified criteria, the indicator generates a retest box area.
When the price touches this box, it triggers long or short orders. The relevant data, including entry and exit points, are stored in sets of arrays. These data are then utilized by the Trade Summary table to provide a comprehensive overview of the swing trading activity.
Take profit and cut loss value can be set in setting.
