Description:
The Gap Tracker Indicator is a powerful tool designed for traders to identify, monitor, and capitalize on price gaps in financial markets. It serves two primary functions:
Identifying Gaps: The indicator scans price action to detect instances where the current trading session's opening price significantly differs from the previous session's closing price. These disparities indicate the presence of price gaps.
Tracking Gap Fills: Once a gap is identified, the indicator continues to monitor the price movement. It dynamically adjusts its parameters to track whether and when the price retraces back to fill the gap. As soon as the gap is filled, the indicator generates a signal to notify traders of this occurrence.
Key Features:
Customizable Parameters: Traders can adjust the sensitivity and criteria for what constitutes a significant gap based on their trading preferences and the market conditions.
Visual Alerts: The indicator provides clear visual signals on price charts, highlighting the presence of gaps and indicating when they are filled. This helps traders to easily spot trading opportunities and make informed decisions.
Alert Notifications: In addition to visual cues, traders can opt to receive real-time alerts via email, SMS, or within their trading platform, ensuring they never miss an opportunity or a filled gap.
Historical Analysis: The indicator may also offer historical gap data, allowing traders to conduct backtesting and analyze the performance of trading strategies based on gap patterns.
Benefits:
Gap Trading Opportunities: Traders can use the indicator to identify potential areas of price continuation or reversal, leveraging the phenomenon of gap trading for profit.
Risk Management: By tracking gap fills, traders can manage their risk more effectively, knowing when a gap is likely to act as support or resistance and adjusting their positions accordingly.
Enhanced Decision Making: With real-time gap detection and fill tracking, traders gain valuable insights into market sentiment and price dynamics, empowering them to make timely and informed trading decisions.
Compatibility:
The Gap Tracker Indicator is compatible with popular trading platforms and can be seamlessly integrated into various technical analysis tools and strategies.
Conclusion:
In the fast-paced world of financial markets, identifying and understanding price gaps is crucial for successful trading. The Gap Tracker Indicator provides traders with a reliable tool to spot, track, and capitalize on gap opportunities, enhancing their trading efficiency and profitability.

SIP SmartlyIntroduction:
The SIP Smartly indicator is designed to mimic the behavior of a systematic investment plan, a popular investment strategy where a fixed quantity of an asset is purchased at regular intervals, typically monthly. In this case, we're applying this concept to trading by specifying a start date, a fixed purchase quantity, and certain conditions for buying.
Indicator Components:
User Inputs:
1. Start Date Inputs:
startyear, startmonth, startday: These inputs allow you to specify the year, month, and day when the SIP strategy begins.
2. buyQty:
This input allows you to specify the quantity of the security to purchase in each SIP installment.
What is Standard SIP ?
A Standard Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) is an investment strategy where individuals consistently invest a fixed amount of money at regular intervals, such as monthly or quarterly, in mutual funds or stocks. This approach promotes disciplined and long-term investing, taking advantage of rupee-cost averaging, where more shares are purchased when prices are low and fewer when prices are high. SIPs are designed for individuals seeking gradual wealth accumulation over time while mitigating the impact of market volatility through consistent, automated investments.
Logic of the Smart SIP Indicator:
Dynamic Quantity: The Smart SIP indicator allows you to invest a fixed quantity of a security at regular intervals based on technical analysis conditions. This is different from a standard SIP, where you typically invest a fixed amount of money.
Technical Analysis Driven: The Smart SIP indicator employs technical analysis indicators, such as multiple moving averages and uses the crossover of a higher MA with a lower MA which indicates a possible trend reversal, to determine Buy signals based on price trends. In contrast, a standard SIP doesn't consider technical factors but rather involves regular investments regardless of market conditions.
Adaptability: Unlike a standard SIP, which follows a predetermined investment schedule, the Smart SIP can adapt to changing market conditions. It triggers Buy actions only when specific technical conditions are met, providing a more flexible and responsive approach to investing or trading.
Market Value Tracking: The Smart SIP continuously tracks the market value of the invested quantity in real-time. This allows you to monitor the performance of your SIP investments dynamically, considering market fluctuations. In a standard SIP, you typically track the overall portfolio value without real-time adjustments.
Alert Notifications: The Smart SIP can send alert notifications when Buy conditions are met. This feature ensures timely execution of trades when favorable market conditions align with the technical criteria. In a standard SIP, you usually follow a fixed investment schedule without real-time alerting.
In summary, the unique logic of the Smart SIP indicator lies in its adaptability, technical analysis-driven approach, and real-time tracking and alerting features, making it well-suited for trading in financial markets while still following the concept of a systematic investment plan.
How to Use the SIP Smartly Indicator:
Start Date Selection:
Input your desired start date using the startyear, startmonth, and startday parameters. This is the date when your SIP strategy will begin.
Buy Quantity Setting:
Set the buyQty input to the quantity of the security you want to purchase in each SIP installment.
Alerts:
The indicator can trigger alerts when Buy conditions are met. These alerts can be configured to notify you when it's time to make a SIP installment.
Risk Management and Considerations:
Confirmation: While the SIP Smartly indicator provides insights, use it alongside other technical and fundamental analysis tools for confirmation before making trading decisions.
Backtesting: Before using this indicator in live trading, conduct thorough backtesting on historical data to evaluate its performance under different market conditions.
Position Sizing: Determine your position size and risk management rules based on the quantity purchased in each SIP installment.
Market Awareness: Stay informed about market conditions and news events that could impact price movements. This indicator is a tool to aid your trading strategy, not a standalone solution.
Conclusion:
The SIP Smartly Indicator offers a systematic approach to trading by simulating a SIP strategy. By inputting your start date and desired buy quantity, you can follow a disciplined investment approach in your trading. Remember to customize the inputs to match your trading preferences and risk tolerance.
Disclaimer: This indicator is provided for educational purposes and should be used with caution. Trading involves risks, and you should thoroughly test any strategy before applying it in live trading.

Strategy Developer ToolSolar Strategies: Strategy Developer Tool Complete Guide
This guide provides full explanation of the intended purpose of our script along with individual explanation of each input and the logic behind them coupled with general knowledge which we find useful in using our tool regarding elements of risk and strategy. Use this information wisely and understand we are not providing financial advise, this is a learning tool meant to help advance traders knowledge of the markets and their strategies which are formed as such.
Basics
Before getting into the specifics of how to use our strategy developer tool, it's important to understand a few basic fundamental things about it. The purpose of the tool is to allow the user to optimize a strategy through back testing with our strategy tracker and 50+ user inputs. The way you optimize your strategy depends on a couple things:
The state of the current and recent previous market.
The timeframe you trade on.
The types of trades you prefer. (swings, scalps, etc.)
How much risk you are willing to take on.
Risk Basics:
Going off the last bullet point on the list above, risk plays a huge part in how you optimize your strategy, with that being said here are a few general rules of risk as they relate to trades:
The more trades you take on, the more risk you are opening your strategy up to.
If done correctly, more trades will often result in more profit with slightly lower accuracy, and more risk.
The less trades you take on, the easier it is to have higher accuracy because ideally by rooting out the losing trades, you are left with fewer overall trades but mostly winning trades.
Less trades with higher accuracy often result in less profit but will 100% be less risky than the opposite. (More trades, less accurate, more profit, MORE RISK)
Input Basics:
More trades, less trades, more risk, less risk, what does this all mean as it relates to our tool?
The 50+ user inputs that allow you to optimize and create your strategy all effect when the script takes a trade.
Many of the inputs are essentially conditions. By changing these inputs, what you are doing is changing how specific the conditions need to be in order to take a trade.
This is how the inputs tie into the bullet point list above regarding risk and the number of trades you take on. By raising or lowering certain inputs, you are making the conditions more or less specific on when to trade.
Making conditions more specific will allow for less trades to be taken and will often result in a higher win rate, and less associated risk.
Making conditions less specific will allow for more trades to be taken and depending on the state of the market, could result in more profit being realized, but at the same time opens you up to more risk because you are stating a more general set of conditions in order to take a trade.
How does it work?
Our strategy developer tool is based on two simple factors in order to identify specific areas in the market deemed good for trade. They are as follows:
Directional momentum to identify when a move might happen.
A confirmation of the desired move.
Indicators:
The tool gets its information on these two factors from two custom built indicators which are hard coded into the script. These two indicators and the inputs which affect them can be found labeled with Indicator 1 or Indicator 2 in the tool's settings.
When the conditions are met based on the factors of both indicators, it then decides your stop losses and take profits using pivot points.
Indicator 1 is the momentum indicator.
Indicator 2 looks for confirmation of the move.
Hedges:
Since nothing is ever certain when trading, our tool also aims to minimize potential loss before it can happen by incorporating hedges when a signal prints in the opposite direction of the trade you are currently in.
To identify when to hedge, the candles will appear with the opposite color of your original trade. Candles, while in a long trade, appear as green and candles while in a short trade appear as red. While in a long trade the only time red candles will appear is when a hedge occurs and vice versa for shorts.
Example: If you just took a long trade based on a long signal that the script gave off, but a short signal prints off while you are in the long, you are directed to sell half your long position and enter that half into a short position. Since there is now more uncertainty in the long because of the short signal, minimizing your position size and having a smaller position in the opposite direction allows you to cover your bases if the trade moves against you. If it doesn’t move against you and ends up going long as originally intended, you are not to lose any money, likely a small profit or break even when all is said and done.
In order to give the hedges a greater change of hitting, the take profits are smaller than a normal trade, this way even if your hedge wasn’t necessary and the original trade does not move against you, it's likely that your hedge will still win, and you can just consider it a small scalp to further your profits on the original trade.
Doubles:
Besides minimizing loss, we also aim to maximize the potential gain. When a second signal prints off in the direction of the trade you are currently already in, the tool directs you to double your position size.
The signal for doubling is a label with “2x” written inside.
The logic here is similar to hedging but in the opposite way. Just as a signal in the opposite direction creates uncertainty, a signal in the same direction indicates more certainty hence doubling your position size.
Example: If you are currently in a long position and you get a second long signal, you would then double your existing position since two long signals printing off before the first one has a chance to play out indicates a stronger chance of movement in the intended direction of your trade.
User Inputs
Upon opening the tools settings tab, you will find all the user inputs which can then be modified to fit your desired strategy. In this section of our guides, you will find individual explanations and use cases for each input so you can correctly use them to your best advantage.
Strategy Tracker Table:
By ticking this input on, the strategy tracker table will be visible to the user. (Default is on)
Indicator 1 Greater Than: Long:
By ticking this input on, you are adding a condition the script will then look for in order to take a long. (Default is on)
This condition is that an average of indicator 1, which searches for momentum, must fall above a certain level, which is determined in the next input.
The purpose of this is to ensure that the average momentum is not too low because this would indicate prolonged downwards movement on the timeframe of the market being observed, making a long position riskier.
Indicator 1 Greater Than Input: Long:
This input correlates to the previous input directly above.
If Indicator 1 Greater Than: Long is ticked on, then one of the conditions in order to take a long position will be that the average of indicator 1 must fall above the level which you set in this input.
max level 100, min level 0
Indicator 1 Less Than: Long
By ticking this input on, you are adding a condition the script will then look for in order to take a long position. (Default is on)
This condition is that an average of indicator 1, which searches for momentum, must fall below a certain level, which is determined in the next input.
The purpose of this is to ensure that the average momentum is not too high, because this would indicate a prior significant upwards movement or trend on the timeframe of the market being observed.
Taking a long position while the average momentum is at higher levels exposes the risk of longing as the market has started to pull back from a peak or when the market has just reached a peak.
Indicator 1 Less Than Input: Long
This input correlates to the previous input directly above.
If Indicator 1 Less Than: Long is ticked on, then one of the conditions in order to take a long position will be that the average of indicator 1 must fall below the level which you set in this input.
max level 100, min level 0
Indicator 1 Greater Than: Short
By ticking this input on, you are adding a condition the script will then look for in order to take a short. (Default is on)
This condition is that an average of indicator 1, which searches for momentum, must fall above a certain level, which is determined in the next input.
The purpose of this is to ensure that the average momentum is not too low because this would indicate prolonged downwards movement or trend on the timeframe of the market being observed.
Taking a short position while the average momentum is at lower levels exposes the risk of shorting as the market has started to recover from a bottom or when the market has just reached a bottom.
Indicator 1 Greater Than Input: Short
This input correlates to the previous input directly above.
If Indicator 1 Greater Than: Short is ticked on, then one of the conditions in order to take a short position will be that the average of indicator 1 must fall above the level which you set in this input.
max level 100, min level 0
Indicator 1 Less Than: Short
By ticking this input on, you are adding a condition the script will then look for in order to take a short position. (Default is on)
This condition is that an average of indicator 1, which searches for momentum, must fall below a certain level, which is determined in the next input.
The purpose of this is to ensure that the average momentum is not too high, because this would indicate a prior significant upwards movement or trend on the timeframe of the market being observed.
Taking a short position while the average momentum is at higher levels exposes the risk of shorting as the market is currently in a strong uptrend.
Indicator 1 Less Than: Short
This input correlates to the previous input directly above.
If Indicator 1 Less Than: Short is ticked on, then one of the conditions in order to take a short position will be that the average of indicator 1 must fall below the level which you set in this input.
max level 100, min level 0
Summary of Input Group: Indicator 1 Greater/Less Than Long/Short
This grouping of inputs is best used as a filter of sorts, much like many of the other inputs which are also essentially filters of the market to find areas ripe for trade. Specifically, however, this group of inputs is especially powerful because if used correctly, it can specify a range for the average momentum to fall in when looking for either long or short trades. Think of it like a sweet spot where the average is not too high nor too low. In combination with the numerous other inputs which will shortly be explained, this sweet spot can be a great indication. Keep in mind that once you find a working range, this will not last forever. Conditions in the market are ever changing and as such your inputs, in this case the range the average momentum must fall in, will also need to change with the market conditions.
Bars Since Crossover:
This input simply describes a crossover of the momentum indicator (indicator 1) and its average.
In the category How does it work? Two main factors are discussed, the first being directional momentum to determine when an upwards move might happen. The crossover correlated to this input is the directional momentum as mentioned earlier.
As also mentioned in How does it work? The second factor is a confirmation of the desired upwards move. This confirmation is a crossover of the current price and indicator 2 which will be further addressed later on.
What's important to understand about the two key factors at play in regard to Bars Since Crossover is that this input is determining a condition which looks for a certain number of bars prior to the confirmation of indicator 2 which the crossover of momentum and its average has happened on indicator 1.
Example: Bars Since Crossover input is set to 10. This means that the crossover of momentum and its average from indicator 1 must be within 10 bars prior to the confirmation from indicator 2. If this happens then this condition is met for a long position.
Bars Since Crossunder:
This input simply describes a crossunder of the momentum indicator (indicator 1) and its average.
In the category How does it work? Two main factors are discussed, the first being directional momentum to determine when a downwards move might happen. The crossunder correlated to this input is the directional momentum as mentioned earlier.
As also mentioned in How does it work? The second factor is a confirmation of the desired downwards move. This confirmation is a crossunder of the current price and indicator 2 which will be further addressed later on.
What's important to understand about the two key factors at play in regard to Bars Since Crossunder is that this input is determining a condition which looks for a certain number of bars prior to the confirmation of indicator 2 which the crossunder of momentum and its average has happened on indicator 1.
Example: Bars Since Crossunder input is set to 10. This means that the crossunder of momentum and its average from indicator 1 must be within 10 bars prior to the confirmation from indicator 2. If this happens then this condition is met for a short position.
Summary of Input Group: Bars Since Crossover/Crossunder
These two inputs can have a large effect on the types of trades being taken and the risk which your strategy opens up to. The idea is that in order for the two key factors described in How does it work? to be correlated and therefore indicate a strong directional move, the two events must happen within a somewhat small period of time. If the period of time between the two events taking place is too large, then it's riskier for your strategy due to a delay in directional momentum and the necessary confirmation. It's important to note that this “small period of time” is relative to the security you're trading and the timeframe its being trades on. Small could mean 5 bars in some cases or 20 bars in others, this is why our custom back tester exists. So that the process of optimization on different securities and different timeframes is smooth and only requires adjustments to inputs then your own analysis of the back test results.
Indicator 1 Input Long
Defines how strong the upwards momentum needs to be in order to take a long position.
When optimizing your strategy, this input is likely to have some of the most effect on when the script takes a long position.
The reasoning for this is because the level you set for this input is the level which indicator 1 must close above following the crossover of its average.
Example: Indicator 1 Input Long set to 50, this means that when the momentum crosses over its average from indicator 1, upon the close of this crossover the momentum must be above the level 50 in order for this condition to be met to take a long position.
The higher the level, the stronger the upwards momentum must be, and therefore by using higher levels for this input, the script will search for stronger directional moves leaving less chance for the trade to move against you.
Indicator 1 Input Short
Defines how strong the downwards momentum needs to be in order to take a short position.
When optimizing your strategy, this input is likely to have some of the most effect on when the script takes a short position.
The reasoning for this is because the level you set for this input is the level which indicator 1 must close below following the crossunder of its average.
Example: Indicator 1 Input Short set to 40, this means that when the momentum crosses under its average from indicator 1, upon the close of this crossunder the momentum must be below the level 40 in order for this condition to be met to take a short position.
The lower the level, the stronger the downwards momentum must be, and therefore by using lower levels for this input, the script will search for stronger directional moves leaving less chance for the trade to move against you.
Summary of Input Group: Indicator 1 Input Long/Short
These two inputs are so important to your strategy because at the end of the day no matter how you set it up, it's still a momentum-based strategy. With that being said the level of momentum or the strength needed in order to take trades is of course going to be a key decider in the successfulness of the strategy. When optimizing these two inputs make sure to take into account what the overall market conditions are, meaning if it’s a bull market maybe make the momentum needed to take a long slightly less comparatively to the amount needed to take a short, in other words make long conditions less specific and short conditions more specific. Slight variations of this input can have very big effects, even changing it by 1 or 2 can make a major difference. In might even be good to consider starting optimization with these inputs and then work the rest of the strategy out from there. A lot could be said about these inputs and more docs will be added in order to further explain more strategy approaches revolving around them, for now don’t hesitate to ask any questions.
Indicator 2 Red
This input is used as a sort of chop filter at its base level, however if used correctly it can be a much broader filter for what areas of the market you want to trade in.
Indicator 2 shows as either red or green and is used as a confirmation when price crosses over it following the crossover of momentum and its average from indicator 1 to take a long position.
If ticked on, Indicator 2 Red states a condition in order for the script to take a long position. (Default is on)
The condition is that upon the crossover of the current price and Indicator 2, 10 bars ago indicator 2 must have been red.
The reason for this input is because the current color of indicator 2 upon the crossover must also be red. However, this condition is hard coded in and cannot be changed by any input.
This is because the type of trade being targeted is that of a type of reversal or continuation.
If indicator 2 showed green 10 bars ago and is currently red this would indicate that a top was just reached, and price is reversing downwards making this not a good area to take a long.
Another scenario if indicator 2 showed green 10 bars ago and is currently red is that there is currently a sideways trend going on or otherwise known as chop, also not an ideal area to take a long
However, if 10 bars ago indicator 2 was red and it's currently red this would indicate a more prolonged pullback.
If all conditions are met and we know that price has been pulling back, now we can enter a long with more knowledge pointing to price reversing upwards from a downwards trend, or continuing its upwards trend after a pullback.
Indicator 2 Green
This input is used as a sort of chop filter at its base level, however if used correctly it can be a much broader filter for what areas of the market you want to trade in.
Indicator 2 shows as either red or green and is used as a confirmation when price crosses under it following the crossunder of momentum and its average from indicator 1 to take a short position.
If ticked on, Indicator 2 Green states a condition in order for the script to take a short position. (Default is on)
The condition is that upon the crossunder of the current price and Indicator 2, 10 bars ago indicator 2 must have been green.
The reason for this input is because the current color of indicator 2 upon the crossunder must also be green. However, this condition is hard coded in and cannot be changed by any input.
This is because the type of trade being targeted is that of a type of reversal or continuation.
If indicator 2 showed red 10 bars ago and is currently green this would indicate that a bottom was just reached, and price is reversing upwards making this not a good area to take a short.
Another scenario if indicator 2 showed red 10 bars ago and is currently green is that there is currently a sideways trend going on or otherwise known as chop, also not an ideal area to take a short.
However, if 10 bars ago indicator 2 was green and it's currently green this would indicate a more prolonged upwards movement.
If all conditions are met and we know that price has been moving up, now we can enter a short with more knowledge pointing to price reversing downwards from an upwards trend, or continuing its downwards trend after a bounce up.
Summary of Input Group: Indicator 2 Red/Green
Similar to Indicator 1 Greater/Less Than Long/Short, the goal of these inputs is to try to get a picture of what the previous recent market has been doing. By getting this picture it's easier to find different areas of the market more ideal for trades. Different from Indicator 1 Greater/Less Than Long/Short though, Indicator 2 Red/Green is directly correlated to the price action in the market rather than the momentum. By switching these on or off you are setting more or less specific conditions for taking trades. Some markets require this extra condition to lower your risk in your strategy, however others may not.
Pivot Low
This input is used to define the number of bars the script will look back to grab a pivot low when taking a long position.
This pivot low is then used to set the stop loss when entering a long position.
This input is very important and optimizing it correctly can be extremely crucial to your strategies success.
The Strategy Developer tool uses a 1:1 risk to reward ratio when setting your first take profit point, so when the script looks back to get a pivot low based on the input you set, it will then set your first take profit at an equal ratio to the stop loss found from the pivot low.
The goal in optimizing this input is to give enough lookback to find real pivot points where price has reversed off of, but not to give too much lookback where its grabbing previous pivot points unrelated to the current move of momentum the script is giving a long signal from.
Consider the type of trades you're looking for in your strategy and what timeframe you are trying to trade on.
Longer swing trades which aim to catch bigger moves in the market, possibly on higher time frames, may require a further lookback in order to get your take profits in the correct positioning to catch the desired move, and not exit early before the trade has fully played out.
Shorter scalp trades may aim to catch smaller moves and therefore you don’t want to allow for too much risk by having a large stop loss and large take profits as a result.
Pivot Low 2
Pivot low 2 can be thought of as a backup lookback in order to get the correct pivot low.
In an input which will be discussed shortly called Pivot Low Minimum, you can set a minimum percentage for your pivot low to be, if the pivot low does not meet the minimum then the script will look to Pivot Low 2’s input to use as a bar lookback in order to get the correct pivot low.
This input is used because you might find a Pivot Low input that works well for the majority of the trades in your back tested strategy, however, there will always be outliers and when this Pivot Low input falls short of getting the correct level to put your stop losses at, Pivot Low 2 is used.
Pivot Low 2’s input should always be higher than Pivot Low’s input, that way you can allow the script to look back further in time to find the correct level when the minimum is not met.
Pivot High
This input is used to define the number of bars the script will look back to grab a pivot high when taking a short position.
This pivot high is then used to set the stop loss when entering a short position.
This input is very important and optimizing it correctly can be extremely crucial to your strategies success.
The Strategy Developer tool uses a 1:1 risk to reward ratio when setting your first take profit point, so when the script looks back to get a pivot high based on the input you set, it will then set your first take profit at an equal ratio to the stop loss found from the pivot high.
The goal in optimizing this input is to give enough lookback to find real pivot points where price has reversed off of, but not to give too much lookback where its grabbing previous pivot points unrelated to the current move of momentum the script is giving a short signal from.
Consider the type of trades you're looking for in your strategy and what timeframe you are trying to trade on.
Longer swing trades which aim to catch bigger moves in the market, possibly on higher time frames, may require a further lookback in order to get your take profits in the correct positioning to catch the desired move, and not exit early before the trade has fully played out.
Shorter scalp trades may aim to catch smaller moves and therefore you don’t want to allow for too much risk by having a large stop loss and large take profits as a result.
Pivot High 2
Pivot high 2 can be thought of as a backup lookback in order to get the correct pivot high.
In an input which will be discussed shortly called Pivot High Minimum, you can set a minimum percentage for your pivot high to be, if the pivot high does not meet the minimum then the script will look to Pivot High 2’s input to use as a bar lookback in order to get the correct pivot high.
This input is used because you might find a Pivot High input that works well for the majority of the trades in your back tested strategy, however, there will always be outliers and when this Pivot High input falls short of getting the correct level to put your stop losses at, Pivot High 2 is used.
Pivot High 2’s input should always be higher than Pivot High’s input, that way you can allow the script to look back further in time to find the correct level when the minimum is not met.
Pivot Low Risk Tolerance
This input is very important in managing the risk associated with your strategy.
Pivot Low Risk Tolerance is defining a maximum percentage the pivot low can be away from your entry.
Since the pivot low that’s found is assigned to your stop loss and directly affects the placement of your take profits when taking a long position, making sure the pivot low isn’t too far down is crucial.
Depending on the types of trades you're aiming to take, the timeframe you choose to trade on, and the leverage you use in your strategy, you may want to assign a higher risk tolerance or a lower one.
Example: Pivot Low Risk Tolerance input set to 3, this means that when all other conditions are met in order to take a long position, when searching for the pivot low in order to set a stop loss, if the script finds the pivot low is greater than 3% away from the entry point, it will not take the trade.

Pivot Low Minimum
Sometimes when searching for the pivot low, the script's defined lookback may not be enough to find the proper pivot point.
This can cause improper placement of stop losses and take profits and may cause trades to be exited early before they can fully play out in your favor.
Pivot Low Minimum is an input used to combat this problem, when the script finds a pivot low that does not meet the minimum percentage away from the entry point, it will then turn to Pivot Low 2 input in order to gain a further lookback and grab the correct pivot point to set your stop loss and take profits with.
When reading and setting this input, understand that setting it to 1 means there is no minimum, setting it to 0.9 would mean the minimum is a 10% difference between the pivot low and your entry point.
Think of it in terms of decimals and their equivalent percentage, 0.1 is equal to 10%, 0.01 is equal to 1%.
Whatever percentage you want to set for a minimum, convert it to a decimal, then simply subtract it from 1.
Example: Say you desire a 1.5% minimum pivot low and as a result an equivalent stop loss of 1.5% below your long entry and furthermore a take profit 1.5% above your long entry since the script uses a 1:1 ratio. Converting 1.5% to a decimal would give you 0.015, then subtracting it from 1 would give you 0.985, this would be the input assigned to Pivot Low Minimum.

Summary of Input Group: Pivot Low/High - Pivot Low/High 2 – Pivot Low/High Risk Tolerance – Pivot Low/High Minimum
The first key takeaway from all these inputs is that your stop losses and take profits will be directly affected through optimizing any of them. The second key takeaway is that these inputs are crucial in managing the risk in your strategy, and while this has been said many times throughout the guide for various inputs, when it comes to stop losses and take profits it is especially true. Having a stop loss which is too high opens up the possibility for much bigger losses, and as a result your take profits will also be too high, minimizing the chance of any of them being hit. Having a stop loss which is too low increases the chance that your trade will get stopped out preemptively, before the trade can mature and move in your favor because remember that trades will not always move immediately in the intended direction, a good amount of patience is often involved in creating consistent successful trades and a successful strategy as such. On the same note, too low of a stop loss could also mean you are missing out on unrealized profit since your take profits are a direct result of the stop loss which is found. When optimizing your pivot low/high risk tolerance, think not about how much you are willing to lose on a single trade, but how much your portfolio can actually afford to lose not just on a single trade but multiple trades, sometimes even in a row. Obviously, the goal in creating a strategy is that you avoid losing trades and especially multiple in a row, however, there are many things that can’t be accounted for. The only way to manage this unaccounted risk is to use proper risk management and not open yourself up to big losses even in the worst most unlikely scenarios. Even if you don’t lose multiple trades in a row, ask yourself, could I afford to lose multiple trades with the risk tolerance I have set if everything were to go to $hit, (hopefully it would not), but in the off chance it did, instead of beating yourself up over what you did wrong, you’ll be patting yourself on the back for what you did right.
TP2-4 Long Placement
The first thing to understand about the take profit placement is that our system of stop losses and take profits uses a 1:1 risk to reward ratio for the first stop loss and first take profit.
This means that if your stop loss falls 2% below your long entry, your first take profit will be 2% above your long entry, hence 1:1.
As for take profits 2-4, they are just extensions of that ratio. This means that if TP2 Long Placement is set to 1.5, the ratio for your second take profit is 1:1.5.
Using the same percentage from the second bullet point being 2%, we can now gather that with a 1:1.5 ratio our second take profit would be at 3% above our long entry.
The same applies for the rest of the take profits, meaning whatever the take profit is set at regardless of which one, apply that number to the second placeholder of the ratio.
Example: First stop loss falls 2% below long entry. TP2 Long Placement input set to 1.5; risk to reward ratio is 1:1.5; corresponding percentage would be a 3% gain. TP3 Long Placement input set to 2; risk to reward ratio is 1:2; corresponding percentage would be a 4% gain. TP4 Long Placement input set to 2.5; risk to reward ratio is 1:2.5; corresponding percentage would be a 5% gain.
The next key thing to understand about the trailing take profits system is the position size being sold at each take profit and therefore how the strategy tracker calculates your strategy's profit.
At the first take profit, 50% of your position is being calculated as sold, locking in good profits off the bat.
At TP2, 20% of your position is being calculated as sold, leaving a remaining 30% open to gain more profit.
At TP3, another 20% of your position is being calculated as sold, leaving 10% to collect any additional possible gains.
At TP4 the remaining 10% of your position is sold and the trade will be fully closed out.
SL2-4 Long Placement
Our system of trailing stop losses is completely similar to that of our trailing take profits.
Just like the trailing take profits, the inputs for stop losses 2-4 are also used as the second placeholders in the risk to reward ratio.
This may be confusing since generally stop losses are associated with a loss on your position, however, the only stop loss which results in a loss on your position is the first one, not stop losses 2-4.
This is because once your first take profit is hit on your long, your stop loss will automatically move up to the price equivalent to the ratio which you set using these inputs that lies in profit.
Example: Since your first take profit will always be at a 1:1 risk to reward ratio with your stop loss, your second take profit could be at a 1:0.8 ratio. So, to clarify, once your first take profit is hit at a 1:1, your original first stop loss will now be moved up in profits to just below your first take profit at a 1:0.8 risk to reward ratio. This only happens AFTER the first take profit is hit.
For stop losses 3 and 4, the same logic is true, once TP2 is hit, your second stop loss will now be moved up to the placement of SL3 which will fall somewhere below TP2. Once TP3 is hit, your third stop loss will now be moved up to the placement of SL4 which will fall somewhere below TP3. If stop loss 4 does not get hit, then the only thing left to happen is for TP4 to hit and the trade will fully close out.
The one major difference between our system of trailing stop losses and take profits is that no matter what stop loss is hit, the entire remainder of your position will be calculated as sold.
So, if your first take profit hits and sells 50% of your long position, but the trade does not continue upwards and moves down to your second stop loss, the remaining 50% of your position will be calculated as sold.
The same applies to SL3 and SL4, so at SL3 the remaining 30% of your position will be calculated as sold, and at SL4 the remaining 10% will be calculated as sold.
Your trailing stop loss placement is dependent on what types of trades you desire. For shorter scalps on smaller timeframes, it's recommended to place each stop loss just below each corresponding take profit for long trades.
This way you leave just enough room for the trade to continue upwards if there is enough momentum, but you don’t open yourself up to losing your unrealized profit if it does not make this continuation.
If you desire longer swing trades on higher timeframes, it might be a good idea to leave more room in between the take profit and corresponding stop loss.
This way you leave more room for the trade to mature and move in your favor since when trading longer moves, often they will not shoot straight up but rather have a series of small pullbacks throughout the more general upwards trend.
Note that when a long trade is first entered the only stop loss and take profit in play are your original stop loss found by the pivot low which would result in a loss, and the first take profit at a 1:1 risk to reward ratio from that pivot low.
TP2-4 Short Placement
The first thing to understand about the take profit placement is that our system of stop losses and take profits uses a 1:1 risk to reward ratio for the first stop loss and first take profit.
This means that if your stop loss falls 2% above your short entry, your first take profit will be 2% below your short entry, hence, 1:1.
As for take profits 2-4, they are just extensions of that ratio. This means that if TP2 Short Placement is set to 1.5, the ratio for your second take profit is 1:1.5.
Using the same percentage from the second bullet point being 2%, we can now gather that with a 1:1.5 ratio our second take profit would be at 3% below our short entry.
The same applies for the rest of the take profits, meaning whatever the take profit is set at regardless of which one, apply that number to the second placeholder of the ratio.
Example: First stop loss falls 2% above short entry. TP2 Short Placement input set to 1.5; risk to reward ratio is 1:1.5; corresponding percentage would be a 3% gain. TP3 Short Placement input set to 2; risk to reward ratio is 1:2; corresponding percentage would be a 4% gain. TP4 Short Placement input set to 2.5; risk to reward ratio is 1:2.5; corresponding percentage would be a 5% gain.

Note that when a short trade is first entered the only stop loss and take profit in play are your original stop loss found by the pivot high which would result in a loss, and the first take profit at a 1:1 risk to reward ratio from that pivot high.
Summary of Take Profit/Stop Loss Placement:
Correctly placed take profits and stop losses are essential in having a successful strategy and proper risk management. With that being said there are also many ways in which to use this system. Deciding how to set them up is really just a matter of determining the trading style you aim to succeed with. Once this has been determined, the placement of take profits and stop losses should be easier to configure. However, if there is any confusion on either of these topics as the ratios and corresponding TP/SL can get confusing, please do not hesitate to ask further questions in our discord!

A Message From the Developer PLEASE READ!!!
If you have made it this far in the guide, I applaud you and thank you for sticking with it as I know there is a lot of information here! This is not an exaggeration when I say there are hundreds of millions of possible variations that could be applied throughout all the inputs which is why I much prefer to call this a tool rather than an algorithm. Algorithm is a loaded word in my opinion as it comes with an implication of guarantee in the trades being made. This is not meant to discourage anybody from taking trades based off the tool which is also why I provided the option for automated alerts which through third party software can turn into automated trades; if you have the confidence in your strategy by all means I encourage you to trade it, automated or not. Just please understand that it's highly recommended to also apply your own knowledge and analysis before taking a trade as historical back testing data has its limitations and cannot always account for current market conditions. The real applicability does not fall in what the back tester window is saying you would have made or how accurate your strategy would have been, it's within the sheer number of markets and scenarios this tool can be used in and the information you can get which a human just can’t comprehend all at once; its literally endless. I urge all of you to be creative and think outside the box about what you can do with such a powerful tool at your fingertips. After all this is the reason why so many inputs were provided. Another main goal of this project was to give users a better understanding of risk management. It can be hard to manage your risk when it’s all kept in your head, but when you can modify your strategy to better manage your risk by simply optimizing a few inputs, it’s a lot easier to comprehend and actually apply when trading. The last thing I want to say is have fun working through the possible learning curve in using this tool, it may be a process but enjoy it because the one thing I can guarantee is that you will come out the other side a better trader than before!
FVG Premium [no1x]█ OVERVIEW
This indicator provides a comprehensive toolkit for identifying, visualizing, and tracking Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) across three distinct timeframes (current chart, a user-defined Medium Timeframe - MTF, and a user-defined High Timeframe - HTF). It is designed to offer traders enhanced insight into FVG dynamics through detailed state monitoring (formation, partial fill, full mitigation, midline touch), extensive visual customization for FVG representation, and a rich alert system for timely notifications on FVG-related events.
█ CONCEPTS
This indicator is built upon the core concept of Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) and their significance in price action analysis, offering a multi-layered approach to their detection and interpretation across different timeframes.
Fair Value Gaps (FVGs)
A Fair Value Gap (FVG), also known as an imbalance, represents a range in price delivery where one side of the market (buying or selling) was more aggressive, leaving an inefficiency or an "imbalance" in the price action. This concept is prominently featured within Smart Money Concepts (SMC) and Inner Circle Trader (ICT) methodologies, where such gaps are often interpreted as footprints left by "smart money" due to rapid, forceful price movements. These methodologies suggest that price may later revisit these FVG zones to rebalance a prior inefficiency or to seek liquidity before continuing its path. These gaps are typically identified by a three-bar pattern:
Bullish FVG : This is a three-candle formation where the second candle shows a strong upward move. The FVG is the space created between the high of the first candle (bottom of FVG) and the low of the third candle (top of FVG). This indicates a strong upward impulsive move.
Bearish FVG : This is a three-candle formation where the second candle shows a strong downward move. The FVG is the space created between the low of the first candle (top of FVG) and the high of the third candle (bottom of FVG). This indicates a strong downward impulsive move.
FVGs are often watched by traders as potential areas where price might return to "rebalance" or find support/resistance.
Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Analysis
The indicator extends FVG detection beyond the current chart's timeframe (Low Timeframe - LTF) to two higher user-defined timeframes: Medium Timeframe (MTF) and High Timeframe (HTF). This allows traders to:
Identify FVGs that might be significant on a broader market structure.
Observe how FVGs from different timeframes align or interact.
Gain a more comprehensive perspective on potential support and resistance zones.
FVG State and Lifecycle Management
The indicator actively tracks the lifecycle of each detected FVG:
Formation : The initial identification of an FVG.
Partial Fill (Entry) : When price enters but does not completely pass through the FVG. The indicator updates the "current" top/bottom of the FVG to reflect the filled portion.
Midline (Equilibrium) Touch : When price touches the 50% level of the FVG.
Full Mitigation : When price completely trades through the FVG, effectively "filling" or "rebalancing" the gap. The indicator records the mitigation time.
This state tracking is crucial for understanding how price interacts with these zones.
FVG Classification (Large FVG)
FVGs can be optionally classified as "Large FVGs" (LV) if their size (top to bottom range) exceeds a user-defined multiple of the Average True Range (ATR) for that FVG's timeframe. This helps distinguish FVGs that are significantly larger relative to recent volatility.
Visual Customization and Information Delivery
A key concept is providing extensive control over how FVGs are displayed. This control is achieved through a centralized set of visual parameters within the indicator, allowing users to configure numerous aspects (colors, line styles, visibility of boxes, midlines, mitigation lines, labels, etc.) for each timeframe. Additionally, an on-chart information panel summarizes the nearest unmitigated bullish and bearish FVG levels for each active timeframe, providing a quick glance at key price points.
█ FEATURES
This indicator offers a rich set of features designed to provide a highly customizable and comprehensive Fair Value Gap (FVG) analysis experience. Users can tailor the FVG detection, visual representation, and alerting mechanisms across three distinct timeframes: the current chart (Low Timeframe - LTF), a user-defined Medium Timeframe (MTF), and a user-defined High Timeframe (HTF).
Multi-Timeframe FVG Detection and Display
The core strength of this indicator lies in its ability to identify and display FVGs from not only the current chart's timeframe (LTF) but also from two higher, user-selectable timeframes (MTF and HTF).
Timeframe Selection: Users can specify the exact MTF (e.g., "60", "240") and HTF (e.g., "D", "W") through dedicated inputs in the "MTF (Medium Timeframe)" and "HTF (High Timeframe)" settings groups. The visibility of FVGs from these higher timeframes can be toggled independently using the "Show MTF FVGs" and "Show HTF FVGs" checkboxes.
Consistent Detection Logic: The FVG detection logic, based on the classic three-bar imbalance pattern detailed in the 'Concepts' section, is applied consistently across all selected timeframes (LTF, MTF, HTF)
Timeframe-Specific Visuals: Each timeframe's FVGs (LTF, MTF, HTF) can be customized with unique colors for bullish/bearish states and their mitigated counterparts. This allows for easy visual differentiation of FVGs originating from different market perspectives.
Comprehensive FVG Visualization Options
The indicator provides extensive control over how FVGs are visually represented on the chart for each timeframe (LTF, MTF, HTF).
FVG Boxes:
Visibility: Main FVG boxes can be shown or hidden per timeframe using the "Show FVG Boxes" (for LTF), "Show Boxes" (for MTF/HTF) inputs.
Color Customization: Colors for bullish, bearish, active, and mitigated FVG boxes (including Large FVGs, if classified) are fully customizable for each timeframe.
Box Extension & Length: FVG boxes can either be extended to the right indefinitely ("Extend Boxes Right") or set to a fixed length in bars ("Short Box Length" or "Box Length" equivalent inputs).
Box Labels: Optional labels can display the FVG's timeframe and fill percentage on the box. These labels are configurable for all timeframes (LTF, MTF, and HTF). Please note: If FVGs are positioned very close to each other on the chart, their respective labels may overlap. This can potentially lead to visual clutter, and it is a known behavior in the current version of the indicator.
Box Borders: Visibility, width, style (solid, dashed, dotted), and color of FVG box borders are customizable per timeframe.
Midlines (Equilibrium/EQ):
Visibility: The 50% level (midline or EQ) of FVGs can be shown or hidden for each timeframe.
Style Customization: Width, style, and color of the midline are customizable per timeframe. The indicator tracks if this midline has been touched by price.
Mitigation Lines:
Visibility: Mitigation lines (representing the FVG's opening level that needs to be breached for full mitigation) can be shown or hidden for each timeframe. If shown, these lines are always extended to the right.
Style Customization: Width, style, and color of the mitigation line are customizable per timeframe.
Mitigation Line Labels: Optional price labels can be displayed on mitigation lines, with a customizable horizontal bar offset for positioning. For optimal label placement, the following horizontal bar offsets are recommended: 4 for LTF, 8 for MTF, and 12 for HTF.
Persistence After Mitigation: Users can choose to keep mitigation lines visible even after an FVG is fully mitigated, with a distinct color for such lines. Importantly, this option is only effective if the general setting 'Hide Fully Mitigated FVGs' is disabled, as otherwise, the entire FVG and its lines will be removed upon mitigation.
FVG State Management and Behavior
The indicator tracks and visually responds to changes in FVG states.
Hide Fully Mitigated FVGs: This option, typically found in the indicator's general settings, allows users to automatically remove all visual elements of an FVG from the chart once price has fully mitigated it. This helps maintain chart clarity by focusing on active FVGs.
Partial Fill Visualization: When price enters an FVG, the indicator offers a dynamic visual representation: the portion of the FVG that has been filled is shown as a "mitigated box" (typically with a distinct color), while the original FVG box shrinks to clearly highlight the remaining, unfilled portion. This two-part display provides an immediate visual cue about how much of the FVG's imbalance has been addressed and what potential remains within the gap.
Visual Filtering by ATR Proximity: To help users focus on the most relevant price action, FVGs can be dynamically hidden if they are located further from the current price than a user-defined multiple of the Average True Range (ATR). This behavior is controlled by the "Filter Band Width (ATR Multiple)" input; setting this to zero disables the filter entirely, ensuring all detected FVGs remain visible regardless of their proximity to price.
Alternative Usage Example: Mitigation Lines as Key Support/Resistance Levels
For traders preferring a minimalist chart focused on key Fair Value Gap (FVG) levels, the indicator's visualization settings can be customized to display only FVG mitigation lines. This approach leverages these lines as potential support and resistance zones, reflecting areas where price might revisit to address imbalances.
To configure this view:
Disable FVG Boxes: Turn off "Show FVG Boxes" (for LTF) or "Show Boxes" (for MTF/HTF) for the desired timeframes.
Hide Midlines: Disable the visibility of the 50% FVG Midlines (Equilibrium/EQ).
Ensure Mitigation Lines are Visible: Keep "Mitigation Lines" enabled.
Retain All Mitigation Lines:
Disable the "Hide Fully Mitigated FVGs" option in the general settings.
Enable the feature to "keep mitigation lines visible even after an FVG is fully mitigated". This ensures lines from all FVGs (active or fully mitigated) remain on the chart, which is only effective if "Hide Fully Mitigated FVGs" is disabled.
This setup offers:
A Decluttered Chart: Focuses solely on the FVG opening levels.
Precise S/R Zones: Treats mitigation lines as specific points for potential price reactions.
Historical Level Analysis: Includes lines from past, fully mitigated FVGs for a comprehensive view of significant price levels.
For enhanced usability with this focused view, consider these optional additions:
The on-chart Information Panel can be activated to display a quick summary of the nearest unmitigated FVG levels.
Mitigation Line Labels can also be activated for clear price level identification. A customizable horizontal bar offset is available for positioning these labels; for example, offsets of 4 for LTF, 8 for MTF, and 12 for HTF can be effective.
FVG Classification (Large FVG)
This feature allows for distinguishing FVGs based on their size relative to market volatility.
Enable Classification: Users can enable "Classify FVG (Large FVG)" to identify FVGs that are significantly larger than average.
ATR-Based Threshold: An FVG is classified as "Large" if its height (price range) is greater than or equal to the Average True Range (ATR) of its timeframe multiplied by a user-defined "Large FVG Threshold (ATR Multiple)". The ATR period for this calculation is also configurable.
Dedicated Colors: Large FVGs (both bullish/bearish and active/mitigated) can be assigned unique colors, making them easily distinguishable on the chart.
Panel Icon: Large FVGs are marked with a special icon in the Info Panel.
Information Panel
An on-chart panel provides a quick summary of the nearest unmitigated FVG levels.
Visibility and Position: The panel can be shown/hidden and positioned in any of the nine standard locations on the chart (e.g., Top Right, Middle Center).
Content: It displays the price levels of the nearest unmitigated bullish and bearish FVGs for LTF, MTF (if active), and HTF (if active). It also indicates if these nearest FVGs are Large FVGs (if classification is enabled) using a selectable icon.
Styling: Text size, border color, header background/text colors, default text color, and "N/A" cell background color are customizable.
Highlighting: Background and text colors for the cells displaying the overall nearest bullish and bearish FVG levels (across all active timeframes) can be customized to draw attention to the most proximate FVG.
Comprehensive Alert System
The indicator offers a granular alert system for various FVG-related events, configurable for each timeframe (LTF, MTF, HTF) independently. Users can enable alerts for:
New FVG Formation: Separate alerts for new bullish and new bearish FVG formations.

█ NOTES
This section provides additional information regarding the indicator's usage, performance considerations, and potential interactions with the TradingView platform. Understanding these points can help users optimize their experience and troubleshoot effectively.
Performance and Resource Management
Maximum FVGs to Track : The "Max FVGs to Track" input (defaulting to 25) limits the number of FVG objects processed for each category (e.g., LTF Bullish, MTF Bearish). Increasing this value significantly can impact performance due to more objects being iterated over and potentially drawn, especially when multiple timeframes are active.
Drawing Object Limits : To manage performance, this script sets its own internal limits on the number of drawing objects it displays. While it allows for up to approximately 500 lines (max_lines_count=500) and 500 labels (max_labels_count=500), the number of FVG boxes is deliberately restricted to a maximum of 150 (max_boxes_count=150). This specific limit for boxes is a key performance consideration: displaying too many boxes can significantly slow down the indicator, and a very high number is often not essential for analysis. Enabling all visual elements for many FVGs across all three timeframes can cause the indicator to reach these internal limits, especially the stricter box limit
Optimization Strategies : To help you manage performance, reduce visual clutter, and avoid exceeding drawing limits when using this indicator, I recommend the following strategies:
Maintain or Lower FVG Tracking Count: The "Max FVGs to Track" input defaults to 25. I find this value generally sufficient for effective analysis and balanced performance. You can keep this default or consider reducing it further if you experience performance issues or prefer a less dense FVG display.
Utilize Proximity Filtering: I suggest activating the "Filter Band Width (ATR Multiple)" option (found under "General Settings") to display only those FVGs closer to the current price. From my experience, a value of 5 for the ATR multiple often provides a good starting point for balanced performance, but you should feel free to adjust this based on market volatility and your specific trading needs.
Hide Fully Mitigated FVGs: I strongly recommend enabling the "Hide Fully Mitigated FVGs" option. This setting automatically removes all visual elements of an FVG from the chart once it has been fully mitigated by price. Doing so significantly reduces the number of active drawing objects, lessens computational load, and helps maintain chart clarity by focusing only on active, relevant FVGs.
Disable FVG Display for Unused Timeframes: If you are not actively monitoring certain higher timeframes (MTF or HTF) for FVG analysis, I advise disabling their display by unchecking "Show MTF FVGs" or "Show HTF FVGs" respectively. This can provide a significant performance boost.
Simplify Visual Elements: For active FVGs, consider hiding less critical visual elements if they are not essential for your specific analysis. This could include box labels, borders, or even entire FVG boxes if, for example, only the mitigation lines are of interest for a particular timeframe.
Settings Changes and Platform Limits : This indicator is comprehensive and involves numerous calculations and drawings. When multiple settings are changed rapidly in quick succession, it is possible, on occasion, for TradingView to issue a "Runtime error: modify_study_limit_exceeding" or similar. This can cause the indicator to temporarily stop updating or display errors.
Recommended Approach : When adjusting settings, it is advisable to wait a brief moment (a few seconds) after each significant change. This allows the indicator to reprocess and update on the chart before another change is made
Error Recovery : Should such a runtime error occur, making a minor, different adjustment in the settings (e.g., toggling a checkbox off and then on again) and waiting briefly will typically allow the indicator to recover and resume correct operation. This behavior is related to platform limitations when handling complex scripts with many inputs and drawing objects.
Multi-Timeframe (MTF/HTF) Data and Behavior
HTF FVG Confirmation is Essential: : For an FVG from a higher timeframe (MTF or HTF) to be identified and displayed on your current chart (LTF), the three-bar pattern forming the FVG on that higher timeframe must consist of fully closed bars. The indicator does not draw speculative FVGs based on incomplete/forming bars from higher timeframes.
Data Retrieval and LTF Processing: The indicator may use techniques like lookahead = barmerge.lookahead_on for timely data retrieval from higher timeframes. However, the actual detection of an FVG occurs after all its constituent bars on the HTF have closed.
Appearance Timing on LTF (1 LTF Candle Delay): As a natural consequence of this, an FVG that is confirmed on an HTF (i.e., its third bar closes) will typically become visible on your LTF chart one LTF bar after its confirmation on the HTF.
Example: Assume an FVG forms on a 30-minute chart at 15:30 (i.e., with the close of the 30-minute bar that covers the 15:00-15:30 period). If you are monitoring this FVG on a 15-minute chart, the indicator will detect this newly formed 30-minute FVG while processing the data for the 15-minute bar that starts at 15:30 and closes at 15:45. Therefore, the 30-minute FVG will become visible on your 15-minute chart at the earliest by 15:45 (i.e., with the close of that relevant 15-minute LTF candle). This means the HTF FVG is reflected on the LTF chart with a delay equivalent to one LTF candle.
FVG Detection and Display Logic
Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) on the current chart timeframe (LTF) are detected based on barstate.isconfirmed. This means the three-bar pattern must be complete with closed bars before an FVG is identified. This confirmation method prevents FVGs from being prematurely identified on the forming bar.
Alerts
Alert Setup : To receive alerts from this indicator, you must first ensure you have enabled the specific alert conditions you are interested in within the indicator's own settings (see 'Comprehensive Alert System' under the 'FEATURES' section). Once configured, open TradingView's 'Create Alert' dialog. In the 'Condition' tab, select this indicator's name, and crucially, choose the 'Any alert() function call' option from the dropdown list. This setup allows the indicator to trigger alerts based on the precise event conditions you have activated in its settings
Alert Frequency : Alerts are designed to trigger once per bar close (alert.freq_once_per_bar_close) for the specific event.
User Interface (UI) Tips
Settings Group Icons: In the indicator settings menu, timeframe-specific groups are marked with star icons for easier navigation: 🌟 for LTF (Current Chart Timeframe), 🌟🌟 for MTF (Medium Timeframe), and 🌟🌟🌟 for HTF (High Timeframe).
Dependent Inputs: Some input settings are dependent on others being enabled. These dependencies are visually indicated in the settings menu using symbols like "↳" (dependent setting on the next line), "⟷" (mutually exclusive inline options), or "➜" (directly dependent inline option).
Settings Layout Overview: The indicator settings are organized into logical groups for ease of use. Key global display controls – such as toggles for MTF FVGs, HTF FVGs (along with their respective timeframe selectors), and the Information Panel – are conveniently located at the very top within the '⚙️ General Settings' group. This placement allows for quick access to frequently adjusted settings. Other sections provide detailed customization options for each timeframe (LTF, MTF, HTF), specific FVG components, and alert configurations.
█ FOR Pine Script® CODERS
This section provides a high-level overview of the FVG Premium indicator's internal architecture, data flow, and the interaction between its various library components. It is intended for Pine Script™ programmers who wish to understand the indicator's design, potentially extend its functionality, or learn from its structure.
System Architecture and Modular Design
The indicator is architected moduarly, leveraging several custom libraries to separate concerns and enhance code organization and reusability. Each library has a distinct responsibility:
FvgTypes: Serves as the foundational data definition layer. It defines core User-Defined Types (UDTs) like fvgObject (for storing all attributes of an FVG) and drawSettings (for visual configurations), along with enumerations like tfType.
CommonUtils: Provides utility functions for common tasks like mapping user string inputs (e.g., "Dashed" for line style) to their corresponding Pine Script™ constants (e.g., line.style_dashed) and formatting timeframe strings for display.
FvgCalculations: Contains the core logic for FVG detection (both LTF and MTF/HTF via requestMultiTFBarData), FVG classification (Large FVGs based on ATR), and checking FVG interactions with price (mitigation, partial fill).
FvgObject: Implements an object-oriented approach by attaching methods to the fvgObject UDT. These methods manage the entire visual lifecycle of an FVG on the chart, including drawing, updating based on state changes (e.g., mitigation), and deleting drawing objects. It's responsible for applying the visual configurations defined in drawSettings.
FvgPanel: Manages the creation and dynamic updates of the on-chart information panel, which displays key FVG levels.
The main indicator script acts as the orchestrator, initializing these libraries, managing user inputs, processing data flow between libraries, and handling the main event loop (bar updates) for FVG state management and alerts.
Core Data Flow and FVG Lifecycle Management
The general data flow and FVG lifecycle can be summarized as follows:
Input Processing: User inputs from the "Settings" dialog are read by the main indicator script. Visual style inputs (colors, line styles, etc.) are consolidated into a types.drawSettings object (defined in FvgTypes). Other inputs (timeframes, filter settings, alert toggles) control the behavior of different modules. CommonUtils assists in mapping some string inputs to Pine constants.
FVG Detection:
For the current chart timeframe (LTF), FvgCalculations.detectFvg() identifies potential FVGs based on bar patterns.
For MTF/HTF, the main indicator script calls FvgCalculations.requestMultiTFBarData() to fetch necessary bar data from higher timeframes, then FvgCalculations.detectMultiTFFvg() identifies FVGs.
Newly detected FVGs are instantiated as types.fvgObject and stored in arrays within the main script. These objects also undergo classification (e.g., Large FVG) by FvgCalculations.
State Update & Interaction: On each bar, the main indicator script iterates through active FVG objects to manage their state based on price interaction:
Initially, the main script calls FvgCalculations.fvgInteractionCheck() to efficiently determine if the current bar's price might be interacting with a given FVG.
If a potential interaction is flagged, the main script then invokes methods directly on the fvgObject instance (e.g., updateMitigation(), updatePartialFill(), checkMidlineTouch(), which are part of FvgObject).
These fvgObject methods are responsible for the detailed condition checking and the actual modification of the FVG's state. For instance, the updateMitigation() and updatePartialFill() methods internally utilize specific helper functions from FvgCalculations (like checkMitigation() and checkPartialMitigation()) to confirm the precise nature of the interaction before updating the fvgObject’s state fields (such as isMitigated, currentTop, currentBottom, or isMidlineTouched).
Visual Rendering:
The FvgObject.updateDrawings() method is called for each fvgObject. This method is central to drawing management; it creates, updates, or deletes chart drawings (boxes, lines, labels) based on the FVG's current state, its prev_* (previous bar state) fields for optimization, and the visual settings passed via the drawSettings object.
Information Panel Update: The main indicator script determines the nearest FVG levels, populates a panelData object (defined in FvgPanelLib), and calls FvgPanel.updatePanel() to refresh the on-chart display.
Alert Generation: Based on the updated FVG states and user-enabled alert settings, the main indicator script constructs and triggers alerts using Pine Script's alert() function."
Key Design Considerations
UDT-Centric Design: The fvgObject UDT is pivotal, acting as a stateful container for all information related to a single FVG. Most operations revolve around creating, updating, or querying these objects.
State Management: To optimize drawing updates and manage FVG lifecycles, fvgObject instances store their previous bar's state (e.g., prevIsVisible, prevCurrentTop). The FvgObject.updateDrawings() method uses this to determine if a redraw is necessary, minimizing redundant drawing calls.
Settings Object: A drawSettings object is populated once (or when inputs change) and passed to drawing functions. This avoids repeatedly reading numerous input() values on every bar or within loops, improving performance.
Dynamic Arrays for FVG Storage: Arrays are used to store collections of fvgObject instances, allowing for dynamic management (adding new FVGs, iterating for updates).
Strategy Stats [presentTrading]Hello! it's another weekend. This tool is a strategy performance analysis tool. Looking at the TradingView community, it seems few creators focus on this aspect. I've intentionally created a shared version. Welcome to share your idea or question on this.
█ Introduction and How it is Different
Strategy Stats is a comprehensive performance analytics framework designed specifically for trading strategies. Unlike standard strategy backtesting tools that simply show cumulative profits, this analytics suite provides real-time, multi-timeframe statistical analysis of your trading performance.
Multi-timeframe analysis: Automatically tracks performance metrics across the most recent time periods (last 7 days, 30 days, 90 days, 1 year, and 4 years)
Advanced statistical measures: Goes beyond basic metrics to include Information Coefficient (IC) and Sortino Ratio
Real-time feedback: Updates performance statistics with each new trade
Visual analytics: Color-coded performance table provides instant visual feedback on strategy health
Integrated risk management: Implements sophisticated take profit mechanisms with 3-step ATR and percentage-based exits
BTCUSD Performance
The table in the upper right corner is a comprehensive performance dashboard showing trading strategy statistics.
Note: While this presentation uses Vegas SuperTrend as the underlying strategy, this is merely an example. The Stats framework can be applied to any trading strategy. The Vegas SuperTrend implementation is included solely to demonstrate how the analytics module integrates with a trading strategy.
⚠️ Timeframe Limitations
Important: TradingView's backtesting engine has a maximum storage limit of 10,000 bars. When using this strategy stats framework on smaller timeframes such as 1-hour or 2-hour charts, you may encounter errors if your backtesting period is too long.
Recommended Timeframe Usage:
Ideal for: 4H, 6H, 8H, Daily charts and above
May cause errors on: 1H, 2H charts spanning multiple years
Not recommended for: Timeframes below 1H with long history
█ Strategy, How it Works: Detailed Explanation
The Strategy Stats framework consists of three primary components: statistical data collection, performance analysis, and visualization.
🔶 Statistical Data Collection
The system maintains several critical data arrays:
equityHistory: Tracks equity curve over time
tradeHistory: Records profit/loss of each trade
predictionSignals: Stores trade direction signals (1 for long, -1 for short)
actualReturns: Records corresponding actual returns from each trade
For each closed trade, the system captures:
float tradePnL = strategy.closedtrades.profit(tradeIndex)
float tradeReturn = strategy.closedtrades.profit_percent(tradeIndex)
int tradeType = entryPrice < exitPrice ? 1 : -1 // Direction
🔶 Performance Metrics Calculation
The framework calculates several key performance metrics:
Information Coefficient (IC):
The correlation between prediction signals and actual returns, measuring forecast skill.
IC = Correlation(predictionSignals, actualReturns)
Where Correlation is the Pearson correlation coefficient:
Correlation(X,Y) = (nΣXY - ΣXY) / √
Sortino Ratio:
Measures risk-adjusted return focusing only on downside risk:
Sortino = (Avg_Return - Risk_Free_Rate) / Downside_Deviation
Where Downside Deviation is:
Downside_Deviation = √
R_i represents individual returns, T is the target return (typically the risk-free rate), and n is the number of observations.
Maximum Drawdown:
Tracks the largest percentage drop from peak to trough:
DD = (Peak_Equity - Trough_Equity) / Peak_Equity * 100
🔶 Time Period Calculation
The system automatically determines the appropriate number of bars to analyze for each timeframe based on the current chart timeframe:
bars_7d = math.max(1, math.round(7 * barsPerDay))
bars_30d = math.max(1, math.round(30 * barsPerDay))
bars_90d = math.max(1, math.round(90 * barsPerDay))
bars_365d = math.max(1, math.round(365 * barsPerDay))
bars_4y = math.max(1, math.round(365 * 4 * barsPerDay))
Where barsPerDay is calculated based on the chart timeframe:
barsPerDay = timeframe.isintraday ?
24 * 60 / math.max(1, (timeframe.in_seconds() / 60)) :
timeframe.isdaily ? 1 :
timeframe.isweekly ? 1/7 :
timeframe.ismonthly ? 1/30 : 0.01
🔶 Visual Representation
The system presents performance data in a color-coded table with intuitive visual indicators:
Green: Excellent performance
Lime: Good performance
Gray: Neutral performance
Orange: Mediocre performance
Red: Poor performance
█ Trade Direction
The Strategy Stats framework supports three trading directions:
Long Only: Only takes long positions when entry conditions are met
Short Only: Only takes short positions when entry conditions are met
Both: Takes both long and short positions depending on market conditions
█ Usage
To effectively use the Strategy Stats framework:
Apply to existing strategies: Add the performance tracking code to any strategy to gain advanced analytics
Monitor multiple timeframes: Use the multi-timeframe analysis to identify performance trends
Evaluate strategy health: Review IC and Sortino ratios to assess predictive power and risk-adjusted returns
Optimize parameters: Use performance data to refine strategy parameters
Compare strategies: Apply the framework to multiple strategies to identify the most effective approach
For best results, allow the strategy to generate sufficient trade history for meaningful statistical analysis (at least 20-30 trades).
█ Default Settings
The default settings have been carefully calibrated for cryptocurrency markets:
Performance Tracking:
Time periods: 7D, 30D, 90D, 1Y, 4Y
Statistical measures: Return, Win%, MaxDD, IC, Sortino Ratio
IC color thresholds: >0.3 (green), >0.1 (lime), <-0.1 (orange), <-0.3 (red)
Sortino color thresholds: >1.0 (green), >0.5 (lime), <0 (red)
Multi-Step Take Profit:
ATR multipliers: 2.618, 5.0, 10.0
Percentage levels: 3%, 8%, 17%
Short multiplier: 1.5x (makes short take profits more aggressive)
Stop loss: 20%
Active Ranges Detector
1. Purpose
The script identifies and manages bar ranges, which are defined as bars where the high and low prices are fully contained within the high and low of the previous bar. These ranges are used by traders to identify potential breakouts and price consolidations.
2. Key Features
Active Range Validation
A potential range becomes an active range when the price breaks out of the bar’s high or low. The breakout direction is tracked:
• Upward breakout: When the price closes above the high of the range.
• Downward breakout: When the price closes below the low of the range.
The script creates:
• Lines to represent the high and low of the range.
• A colored background box to indicate the range, with color coded for breakout direction:
• Green: Upward breakout.
• Orange: Downward breakout.
Range Updates
• Exit Detection: The script detects if the price exits the range (moves outside the high or low levels).
• Reintegration and Mitigation:
• If the price re-enters an exited range, it marks the range as “mitigated.”
• The lines for mitigated ranges are updated (color and width are changed).
• The background box is removed for mitigated ranges.
3. User Inputs
The script provides customization options:
• Breakout Colors:
• upBreakoutColor: Background color for upward breakout ranges (default: semi-transparent green).
• downBreakoutColor: Background color for downward breakout ranges (default: semi-transparent orange).
• Mitigated Range Styling:
• mitigatedLineColor: Line color for mitigated ranges (default: red).
• mitigatedLineWidth: Width of the line for mitigated ranges.
• Line and Background Settings:
• activeLineWidth: Width of lines for active ranges.
• lineExtension: Length of line extensions beyond the range’s initial boundaries.
• Range Display Limits:
• maxActiveRanges: Maximum number of active ranges to display on the chart (default: up to 200).
4. Visualization
The script provides clear visual feedback for identified ranges:
• Lines: High and low levels of the range are drawn as lines on the chart.
• Background Boxes: Colored boxes are drawn to represent active ranges, with breakout direction indicated by the box’s color.
• Mitigation Styling: Mitigated ranges have updated line styles and no background.
5. Range Management
The script actively manages ranges:
• Tracks the status of each range (active, exited, reintegrated, mitigated).
• Limits the number of displayed ranges to improve chart readability and comply with TradingView’s object limits.
6. Use Case
This script is ideal for traders who:
• Use inside bars to identify areas of consolidation and breakout opportunities.
• Want to track active and mitigated ranges automatically.
• Need a clear, visual representation of ranges and breakout directions.
7. Limitations
• Inside bars are identified based only on the current and previous bar, so the script might not detect more complex consolidation patterns.
• The maximum number of ranges displayed is limited to the user-defined value (maxActiveRanges), with a hard limit of 200 due to TradingView’s object restrictions.

Engulfing BoxThe Engulfing Box indicator is a custom script designed to visually highlight and track bullish and bearish engulfing candlestick patterns on a price chart. These patterns are often used to identify potential reversal points, making them valuable for technical analysis. The script dynamically draws colored boxes around these patterns, helping users easily spot them in the price action.
Key Features:
Bullish Engulfing Pattern: When a candlestick fully engulfs the previous bearish candle (i.e., the close of the current candle is higher than the open of the previous candle, and the open is lower than the close of the previous candle), the script draws a green box around the bullish engulfing candle. This box is drawn from the open of the previous candle to the low of the previous candle.
Bearish Engulfing Pattern: When a candlestick fully engulfs the previous bullish candle (i.e., the close of the current candle is lower than the open of the previous candle, and the open is higher than the close of the previous candle), a red box is drawn around the bearish engulfing candle. This box is drawn from the open of the previous candle to the high of the previous candle.
Dynamic Box Management: Once an engulfing pattern is detected, a box is drawn with the following attributes:
Bullish Engulfing Box: Green, with a transparent background.
Bearish Engulfing Box: Red, with a transparent background.
The box will adjust its color to gray if the price moves past certain thresholds, indicating that the engulfing pattern may no longer be as relevant.
Max Pattern Tracking: The script limits the number of engulfing boxes tracked on the chart to prevent clutter. The maximum number of bullish and bearish engulfing patterns shown is customizable (set to 500 by default), and once this limit is exceeded, older boxes are deleted to maintain a clean chart.
Pattern Expiry: Boxes are deleted if price action moves beyond the pattern’s range, ensuring that outdated signals are removed. If the low price falls below the bottom of the bullish engulfing box, or the high price rises above the top of the bearish engulfing box, the respective box is removed. Additionally, if the low price moves below the top of the bullish box or the high price exceeds the bottom of the bearish box, the box's color is changed to a more neutral tone.
How it Works:
Pattern Detection: The script compares the current price data with the previous candlestick to detect the bullish or bearish engulfing patterns.
Box Creation: If a pattern is detected, a colored box is drawn around the candle to visually highlight the pattern.
Pattern Expiry and Cleanup: The script continuously monitors past boxes. If the price moves too far from the box’s range, the box is either deleted or altered to reflect the reduced significance of the pattern.
B ox Count Limit: To avoid clutter, the script ensures that no more than 500 bullish or bearish engulfing boxes are shown at any time.
Customization:
The number of previous bars to scan for engulfing patterns can be adjusted (maxBarsback).
The maximum number of patterns displayed at any time can be modified.

1. Moving Average Calculation: Select your preferred moving average type (SMA, WMA, EMA) and define short and long periods. The indicator computes two moving averages (MA1 and MA2) based on these parameters.
2. Consecutive Candle Analysis:
- Above MA1: Tracks and counts consecutive candles closing above MA1, indicating potential bullish momentum.
- Below MA1: Tracks and counts consecutive candles closing below MA1, suggesting potential bearish sentiment.
3. Future Trend Prediction: Based on historical data of consecutive candle movements, the indicator estimates the likelihood of the next candle continuing in the same direction (above or below MA1).
Advantages for Traders:
1. Quantitative Insights: Use numerical data on consecutive candles to gauge trend strength and durability.
2. Predictive Analytics: Leverage historical patterns to anticipate future market movements and adjust trading strategies accordingly.
3. Decision Support Tool: Gain clarity on trend transitions, empowering timely and informed trading decisions.

Market Internals & InfoThis script provides various information on Market Internals and other related info. It was a part of the Daily Levels script but that script was getting very large so I decided to separate this piece of it into its own indicator. I plan on adding some additional features in the near future so stay tuned for those!
The script provides customizability to show certain market internals, tickers, and even Market Profile TPO periods.
Here is a summary of each setting:
NASDAQ and NYSE Breadth Ratio
- Ratio between Up Volume and Down Volume for NASDAQ and NYSE markets. This can help inform about the type of volume flowing in and out of these exchanges.
Advance/Decline Line (ADL)
The ADL focuses specifically on the number of advancing and declining stocks within an index, without considering their trading volume.
Here's how the ADL works:
It tracks the daily difference between the number of stocks that are up in price (advancing) and the number of stocks that are down in price (declining) within a particular index.
The ADL is a cumulative measure, meaning each day's difference is added to the previous day's total.
If there are more advancing stocks, the ADL goes up.
If there are more declining stocks, the ADL goes down.
By analyzing the ADL, investors can get a sense of how many stocks are participating in a market move.
Here's what the ADL can tell you:
Confirmation of Trends: When the ADL moves in the same direction as the underlying index (e.g., ADL rising with a rising index), it suggests broad participation in the trend and potentially stronger momentum.
Divergence: If the ADL diverges from the index (e.g., ADL falling while the index is rising), it can be a warning sign. This suggests that fewer stocks are participating in the rally, which could indicate a weakening trend.
Keep in mind:
The ADL is a backward-looking indicator, reflecting past market activity.
It's often used in conjunction with other technical indicators for a more complete picture.
TRIN Arms Index
The TRIN index, also called the Arms Index or Short-Term Trading Index, is a technical analysis tool used in the stock market to gauge market breadth and sentiment. It essentially compares the number of advancing stocks (gaining in price) to declining stocks (losing price) along with their trading volume.
Here's how to interpret the TRIN:
High TRIN (above 1.0): This indicates a weak market where declining stocks and their volume are dominating the market. It can be a sign of a potential downward trend.
Low TRIN (below 1.0): This suggests a strong market where advancing stocks and their volume are in control. It can be a sign of a potential upward trend.
TRIN around 1.0: This represents a more balanced market, where it's difficult to say which direction the market might be headed.
Important points to remember about TRIN:
It's a short-term indicator, primarily used for intraday trading decisions.
It should be used in conjunction with other technical indicators for a more comprehensive market analysis. High or low TRIN readings don't guarantee future price movements.
VIX/VXN
VIX and VXN are both indexes created by the Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE) to measure market volatility. They differ based on the underlying index they track:
VIX (Cboe Volatility Index): This is the more well-known index and is considered the "fear gauge" of the stock market. It reflects the market's expectation of volatility in the S&P 500 index over the next 30 days.
VXN (Cboe Nasdaq Volatility Index): This is a counterpart to the VIX, but instead gauges volatility expectations for the Nasdaq 100 index over the coming 30 days. The tech-heavy Nasdaq can sometimes diverge from the broader market represented by the S&P 500, hence the need for a separate volatility measure.
Both VIX and VXN are calculated based on the implied volatilities of options contracts listed on their respective indexes. Here's a general interpretation:
High VIX/VXN: Indicates a high level of fear or uncertainty in the market, suggesting investors expect significant price fluctuations in the near future.
Low VIX/VXN: Suggests a more complacent market with lower expectations of volatility.
Important points to remember about VIX and VXN:
They are forward-looking indicators, reflecting market sentiment about future volatility, not necessarily current market conditions.
High VIX/VXN readings don't guarantee a market crash, and low readings don't guarantee smooth sailing.
These indexes are often used by investors to make decisions about portfolio allocation and hedging strategies.
Inside/Outside Day
This provides a quick indication of it we are still trading inside or outside of yesterdays range and will show "Inside Day" or "Outside Day" based upon todays range vs. yesterday's range.
Custom Ticker Choices
Ability to add up to 5 other tickers that can be tracked within the table
Show Market Profile TPO
This only shows on timeframes less than 30m. It will show both the current TPO period and the remaining time within that period.
Table Customization
Provided drop downs to change the text size and also the location of the table.

NUPL-Z For Loop🧠 Overview
NUPL-Z For Loop is a trend-following indicator built on Bitcoin’s on-chain Net Unrealized Profit/Loss (NUPL) metric. It uses a Z-scored transformation of NUPL and a custom loop-based scoring system to measure the consistency of directional movement. Rather than identifying tops and bottoms, this tool is designed to track sustained trends and filter out short-term noise, making it ideal for momentum-aligned strategies.
🧩 Key Features
Loop-Based Trend Logic: Assesses trend strength by summing the number of upward vs. downward moves in Z-scored NUPL across a custom lookback.
Z-Score Normalization: Applies long-term statistical normalization to NUPL to emphasize deviation from average behavior over time.
Threshold-Based Regime Shifts: Custom input thresholds define when trend strength is significant enough to trigger long or short signals.
Directional Market State Tracking: Internally tracks bullish, bearish, or neutral conditions to guide trend entries.
BTC-Focused On-Chain Analysis: Tailored specifically for Bitcoin using Market Cap and Realized Cap inputs.
🔍 How It Works
NUPL Calculation: Derived as the percentage of net unrealized profit relative to market cap: (MC - RMC) / MC * 100.
Z-Scoring: NUPL is normalized using a rolling mean and standard deviation over a long window (default 1300 days) to create a smoothed trend signal.
Directional Loop: A custom loop iterates from the start_loop to the end_loop, comparing the current Z-score to past values.
Each instance where NUPL_Z > NUPL_Z adds +1 to the score; otherwise, it subtracts -1.
This cumulative score reflects how consistently NUPL-Z has been trending.
Signal Logic:
Long signal when loop score exceeds long_threshold.
Short signal when score falls below short_threshold.
CD State Engine: Maintains the current trend regime (1 for long, -1 for short), which drives plot coloring and overlays.
🔁 Use Cases & Applications
Momentum Trend Filter: Detects and confirms sustained directional strength in BTC’s profit/loss positioning.
Noise Suppression: Avoids reactive signals from one-off spikes or dips in NUPL by requiring a consistent trend before confirming bias.
Best Suited for BTC: Designed specifically for Bitcoin’s price and on-chain structure, using its unique NUPL dynamics.
✅ Conclusion
NUPL-Z For Loop transforms a traditionally mean-reverting indicator into a trend-following signal engine. By scoring the consistency of movement in normalized NUPL, this tool identifies trend strength rather than reversal potential — providing more reliable context for momentum-aligned trades on Bitcoin.

Triangle Asc/Descending Patterns [Drobode]█ DESCRIPTION
The script automatically tracks the descending or ascending triangle pattern. The script provides advanced settings, allowing you to adjust the pattern accuracy from high to low depending on your needs and technical analysis style. The main goal of the script is to facilitate the routine work of a trader in identifying certain trading situations (patterns). However, you should understand that the script is not a full-fledged self-sufficient strategy, in case of receiving a signal, it is recommended that you additionally conduct a comprehensive thorough analysis before taking trading actions. The script can be useful for traders of all levels, both beginners and experienced analysts. This variation of the script, in case of identifying a pattern, draws a contour triangle with the background color of the figure. The ascending triangle has a blue color, the descending triangle has a red color. The logic of the script provides that one of the legs (one side) of the triangle is always a horizontal line, simultaneously being a line of resistance or support, other variations of triangle patterns are not tracked. According to generally defined beliefs and observations of pattern formation, a descending and ascending triangle may indicate a possible breakdown of the conditional horizontal level to which the price of the instrument has approached, however, at the same time it is necessary to deeply analyze many other factors at this point, in particular, such as volumes, consolidation, volatility, and so on.
█ SCRIPT SETTINGS
By default, the script was pre-developed and tested on the M15 timeframe with the USDT.P crypto futures instruments.
Alert
The Alert function in the script is enabled by default, you just need to activate the Alert in the TradingView window and select the signal source - Triangle Asc/Descending Patterns .
The notification provides the following information (example):
Triangle_Ascending
Ticker- EGLDUSDT.P
Price-19.754
Timeframe- 15
Period length-160
Periods length
The script allows you to set the period length (number) of bars on which the calculation will be performed. Different periods make it possible to cover more timeframes (in particular, larger timeframes). The calculation is performed simultaneously on all periods, but you can turn off "Period length 3" and "Period length 4" by clicking on the check mark, this can speed up the script. The following period values are set by default: "Period length 1" – 80,
"Period length 2" – 160, "Period length 3" – 300, "Period length 4" – 681.
Percentage deviation of extremes
The next settings are the percentage deviation from the hypotenuse and horizontal leg, which creates the zone in which the extremes of the bars that will form the triangle shape should be. The smaller the deviation, the greater the accuracy and the closer to the hypotenuse and leg the bar extrema should be, however, in this case the number of pattern identifications will be smaller. By default, the deviation zone from the hypotenuse "Deflection zone of tangents to the hypotenuse" is - 0.4%, the deviation zone from the horizontal leg "Tangent deviation zone horizontal leg" is - 0.08%.
The presence of extrema at certain points on the sides of a triangle
The last block of settings are the conditions that increase the accuracy of the proportions of the pattern figure. These settings are aimed at confirming the presence of extrema in certain areas along the hypotenuse and horizontal leg. Thus, enabling "Extrema on the horizontal leg almost along the entire length" means that only those triangles will be tracked in which the horizontal leg zone has extrema almost along the entire length of this leg, this increases the accuracy but reduces the number of detected patterns. "Extremes present on second half of horizontal leg (more than 50%)" assumes that only those triangles will be tracked in which the extrema are present on the second half of the length of the given leg (more than 50%) in the zone of the horizontal leg. "Presence of an extrema in the middle region of the hypotenuse" assumes that only those triangles will be tracked in which the extrema are present on a certain segment of length in the central region of the hypotenuse.
Triad Trade MatrixOverview
Triad Trade Matrix is an advanced multi-strategy indicator built using Pine Script v5. It is designed to simultaneously track and display key trading metrics for three distinct trading styles on a single chart:
Swing Trading (Swing Supreme):
This mode captures longer-term trends and is designed for trades that typically span several days. It uses customizable depth and deviation parameters to determine swing signals.
Day Trading (Day Blaze):
This mode focuses on intraday price movements. It generates signals that are intended to be executed within a single trading session. The parameters for depth and deviation are tuned to capture more frequent, shorter-term moves.
Scalping (Scalp Surge):
This mode is designed for very short-term trades where quick entries and exits are key. It uses more sensitive parameters to detect rapid price movements suitable for scalping strategies.
Each trading style is represented by its own merged table that displays real-time metrics. The tables update automatically as new trading signals are generated.
Key Features
Multi-Style Tracking:
Swing Supreme (Large): For swing trading; uses a purple theme.
Day Blaze (Medium): For day trading; uses an orange theme.
Scalp Surge (Small): For scalping; uses a green theme.
Real-Time Metrics:
Each table displays key trade metrics including:
Entry Price: The price at which the trade was entered.
Exit Price: The price at which the previous trade was exited.
Position Size: Calculated as the account size divided by the entry price.
Direction: Indicates whether the trade is “Up” (long) or “Down” (short).
Time: The time when the trade was executed (formatted to hours and minutes).
Wins/Losses: The cumulative number of winning and losing trades.
Current Price & PnL: The current price on the chart and the profit/loss computed relative to the entry price.
Duration: The number of bars that the trade has been open.
History Column: A merged summary column that shows the most recent trade’s details (entry, exit, and result).
Customizability:
Column Visibility: Users can toggle individual columns (Ticker, Timeframe, Entry, Exit, etc.) on or off according to their preference.
Appearance Settings: You can customize the table border width, frame color, header background, and text colors.
History Toggle: The merged history column can be enabled or disabled.
Chart Markers: There is an option to show or hide chart markers (labels and lines) that indicate trade entries and exits on the chart.
Trade History Management:
The indicator maintains a rolling history (up to three recent trades per trading style) and displays the latest summary in the merged table.
This history column provides a quick reference to recent performance.
How It Works
Signal Generation & Trade Metrics
Trade Entry/Exit Calculation:
For each trading style, the indicator uses built-in functions (such as ta.lowestbars and ta.highestbars) to analyze price movements. Based on a customizable "depth" and "deviation" parameter, it determines the point of entry for a trade.
Swing Supreme: Uses larger depth/deviation values to capture swing trends.
Day Blaze: Uses intermediate values for intraday moves.
Scalp Surge: Uses tighter parameters to pick up rapid price changes.
Metrics Update:
When a new trade signal is generated (i.e., when the trade entry price is updated), the indicator calculates:
The current PnL as the difference between the current price and the entry price (or vice versa, depending on the trade direction).
The duration as the number of bars since the trade was opened.
The position size using the formula: accountSize / entryPrice.
History Recording:
Each time a new trade is triggered (i.e., when the entry price is updated), a summary string is created (showing entry, exit, and win/loss status) and appended to the corresponding trade history array. The merged table then displays the latest summary from this history.
Table Display
Merged Table Structure:
Each trading style (Swing Supreme, Day Blaze, and Scalp Surge) is represented by a table that has 15 columns. The columns are:
Trade Type (e.g., Swing Supreme)
Ticker
Timeframe
Entry Price
Exit Price
Position Size
Direction
Time of Entry
Account Size
Wins
Losses
Current Price
Current PnL
Duration (in bars)
History (the latest trade summary)
User Customization:
Through the settings panel, users can choose which columns to display.
If a column is toggled off, its cells will remain blank, allowing traders to focus on the metrics that matter most to them.
Appearance & Themes:
The table headers and cell backgrounds are customizable via color inputs. The trading style names are color-coded:
Swing Supreme (Large): Uses a purple theme.
Day Blaze (Medium): Uses an orange theme.
Scalp Surge (Small): Uses a green theme.

4-Year Cycles [jpkxyz]Overview of the Script
I wanted to write a script that encompasses the wide-spread macro fund manager investment thesis: "Crypto is simply and expression of macro." A thesis pioneered by the likes of Raoul Pal (EXPAAM) , Andreesen Horowitz (A16Z) , Joe McCann (ASYMETRIC) , Bob Loukas and many more.
Cycle Theory Background:
The 2007-2008 financial crisis transformed central bank monetary policy by introducing:
- Quantitative Easing (QE): Creating money to buy assets and inject liquidity
- Coordinated global monetary interventions
Proactive 4-year economic cycles characterised by:
- Expansionary periods (low rates, money creation)
- Followed by contraction/normalisation
Central banks now deliberately manipulate liquidity, interest rates, and asset prices to control economic cycles, using monetary policy as a precision tool rather than a blunt instrument.
Cycle Characteristics (based on historical cycles):
- A cycle has 4 seasons (Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter)
- Each season with a cycle lasts 365 days
- The Cycle Low happens towards the beginning of the Spring Season of each new cycle
- This is followed by a run up throughout the Spring and Summer Season
- The Cycle High happens towards the end of the Fall Season
- The Winter season is characterised by price corrections until establishing a new floor in the Spring of the next cycle
Key Functionalities
1. Cycle Tracking
- Divides market history into 4-year cycles (Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter)
- Starts tracking cycles from 2011 (first cycle after the 2007 crisis cycle)
- Identifies and marks cycle boundaries
2. Visualization
- Colors background based on current cycle season
- Draws lines connecting:
- Cycle highs and lows
- Inter-cycle price movements
- Adds labels showing:
- Percentage gains/losses between cycles
- Number of days between significant points
3. Customization Options
- Allows users to customize:
- Colors for each season
- Line and label colors
- Label size
- Background opacity
Detailed Mechanism
Cycle Identification
- Uses a modulo calculation to determine the current season in the 4-year cycle
- Preset boundary years include 2015, 2019, 2023, 2027
- Automatically tracks and marks cycle transitions
Price Analysis
- Tracks highest and lowest prices within each cycle
- Calculates percentage changes:
- Intra-cycle (low to high)
- Inter-cycle (previous high to current high/low)
Visualization Techniques
- Background color changes based on current cycle season
- Dashed and solid lines connect significant price points
- Labels provide quantitative insights about price movements
Unique Aspects
1. Predictive Cycle Framework: Provides a structured way to view market movements beyond traditional technical analysis
2. Seasonal Color Coding: Intuitive visual representation of market cycle stages
3. Comprehensive Price Tracking: Captures both intra-cycle and inter-cycle price dynamics
4. Highly Customizable: Users can adjust visual parameters to suit their preferences
Potential Use Cases
- Technical analysis for long-term investors
- Identifying market cycle patterns
- Understanding historical price movement rhythms
- Educational tool for market cycle theory
Limitations/Considerations
- Based on a predefined 4-year cycle model (Liquidity Cycles)
- Historic Cycle Structures are not an indication for future performance
- May not perfectly represent all market behavior
- Requires visual interpretation
This script is particularly interesting for investors who believe in cyclical market theories and want a visual, data-driven representation of market stages.
Historical High/Lows Statistical Analysis(More Timeframe interval options coming in the future)
Indicator Description
The Hourly and Weekly High/Low (H/L) Analysis indicator provides a powerful tool for tracking the most frequent high and low points during different periods, specifically on an hourly basis and a weekly basis, broken down by the days of the week (DOTW). This indicator is particularly useful for traders seeking to understand historical behavior and patterns of high/low occurrences across both hourly intervals and weekly days, helping them make more informed decisions based on historical data.
With its customizable options, this indicator is versatile and applicable to a variety of trading strategies, ranging from intraday to swing trading. It is designed to meet the needs of both novice and experienced traders.
Key Features
Hourly High/Low Analysis:
Tracks and displays the frequency of hourly high and low occurrences across a user-defined date range.
Enables traders to identify which hours of the day are historically more likely to set highs or lows, offering valuable insights into intraday price action.
Customizable options for:
Hourly session start and end times.
22-hour session support for futures traders.
Hourly label formatting (e.g., 12-hour or 24-hour format).
Table position, size, and design flexibility.
Weekly High/Low Analysis by Day of the Week (DOTW):
Captures weekly high and low occurrences for each day of the week.
Allows traders to evaluate which days are most likely to produce highs or lows during the week, providing insights into weekly price movement tendencies.
Displays the aggregated counts of highs and lows for each day in a clean, customizable table format.
Options for hiding specific days (e.g., weekends) and customizing table appearance.
User-Friendly Table Display:
Both hourly and weekly data are displayed in separate tables, ensuring clarity and non-interference.
Tables can be positioned on the chart according to user preferences and are designed to be visually appealing yet highly informative.
Customizable Date Range:
Users can specify a start and end date for the analysis, allowing them to focus on specific periods of interest.
Possible Uses
Intraday Traders (Hourly Analysis):
Analyze hourly price action to determine which hours are more likely to produce highs or lows.
Identify intraday trading opportunities during statistically significant time intervals.
Use hourly insights to time entries and exits more effectively.
Swing Traders (Weekly DOTW Analysis):
Evaluate weekly price patterns by identifying which days of the week are more likely to set highs or lows.
Plan trades around days that historically exhibit strong movements or price reversals.
Futures and Forex Traders:
Use the 22-hour session feature to exclude the CME break or other session-specific gaps from analysis.
Combine hourly and DOTW insights to optimize strategies for continuous markets.
Data-Driven Trading Strategies:
Use historical high/low data to test and refine trading strategies.
Quantify market tendencies and evaluate whether observed patterns align with your strategy's assumptions.
How the Indicator Works
Hourly H/L Analysis:
The indicator calculates the highest and lowest prices for each hour in the specified date range.
Each hourly high and low occurrence is recorded and aggregated into a table, with counts displayed for all 24 hours.
Users can toggle the visibility of empty cells (hours with no high/low occurrences) and adjust the table's design to suit their preferences.
Supports both 12-hour (AM/PM) and 24-hour formats.
Weekly H/L DOTW Analysis:
The indicator tracks the highest and lowest prices for each day of the week during the user-specified date range.
Highs and lows are identified for the entire week, and the specific days when they occur are recorded.
Counts for each day are aggregated and displayed in a table, with a "Totals" column summarizing the overall occurrences.
The analysis resets weekly, ensuring accurate tracking of high/low days.
Code Breakdown:
Data Aggregation:
The script uses arrays to store counts of high/low occurrences for both hourly and weekly intervals.
Daily data is fetched using the request.security() function, ensuring consistent results regardless of the chart's timeframe.
Weekly Reset Mechanism:
Weekly high/low values are reset at the start of a new week (Monday) to ensure accurate weekly tracking.
A processing flag ensures that weekly data is counted only once at the end of the week (Sunday).
Table Visualization:
Tables are created using the table.new() function, with customizable styles and positions.
Header rows, data rows, and totals are dynamically populated based on the aggregated data.
User Inputs:
Customization options include text colors, background colors, table positioning, label formatting, and date ranges.
Code Explanation
The script is structured into two main sections:
Hourly H/L Analysis:
This section captures and aggregates high/low occurrences for each hour of the day.
The logic is session-aware, allowing users to define custom session times (e.g., 22-hour futures sessions).
Data is displayed in a clean table format with hourly labels.
Weekly H/L DOTW Analysis:
This section tracks weekly highs and lows by day of the week.
Highs and lows are identified for each week, and counts are updated only once per week to prevent duplication.
A user-friendly table displays the counts for each day of the week, along with totals.
Both sections are completely independent of each other to avoid interference. This ensures that enabling or disabling one section does not impact the functionality of the other.
Customization Options
For Hourly Analysis:
Toggle hourly table visibility.
Choose session start and end times.
Select hourly label format (12-hour or 24-hour).
Customize table appearance (colors, position, text size).
