Zone Visualization:
When a new swing high or low is detected, a box is drawn from the identified bar and extended to the right for visibility. This helps traders visually identify these critical zones.
The boxes are updated dynamically as new swings are detected, ensuring the most relevant zones are always displayed.
RSI and MACD Signals:
RSI Calculation:
The script calculates the RSI using the specified period and then smooths it using an exponential moving average.
Buy and sell signals are generated based on the RSI's crossover with the 50 level.
MACD Calculation:
The MACD line and signal line are calculated using the specified periods.
Buy and sell signals are generated based on crossovers between the MACD line and the signal line.
These signals can be enabled or disabled based on user preference.
Trend Detection and Take Profit Signals:
Trend Detection:
The script calculates the basis (SMA) and upper and lower bands based on the standard deviation.
It determines the trend strength and direction by comparing the current price to these bands.
Take Profit Levels:
Take profit levels are set by multiplying the standard deviation by a user-defined multiplier.
Signals are plotted when the price crosses these take profit levels, indicating potential exit points.

Order Block Drawing [TradingFinder]🔵 Introduction
Perhaps one of the most challenging tasks for Pine script developers (especially beginners) is properly drawing order blocks. While utilizing the latest technical analysis methods for "Price Action," beginners heavily rely on accurately plotting "Supply" and "Demand" zones, following concepts like "Smart Money Concept" and "ICT".
However, drawing "Order Blocks" may pose a challenge for developers. Therefore, to minimize bugs, increase accuracy, and speed up the process of coding order blocks, we have released the "Order Block Drawing" library.
Below, you can read more details about how to use this library.
Important :
This library has direct and indirect outputs. The indirect output includes the ranges of order blocks plotted on the chart. However, the direct output is a "Boolean" value that becomes "true" only when the price touches an order block, colloquially termed as "Mitigate." You can use this output for setting up alerts.
🔵 How to Use
First, you can add the library to your code as shown in the example below.
import TFlab/OrderBlockDrawing_TradingFinder/1
🟣Parameters
OBDrawing(OBType, TriggerCondition, DistalPrice, ProximalPrice, Index, OBValidDis, Show, ColorZone) =>
Parameters:
• OBType (string)
• TriggerCondition (bool)
• DistalPrice (float)
• ProximalPrice (float)
• Index (int)
• OBValidDis (int)
• Show (bool)
• ColorZone (color)
OBType : All order blocks are summarized into two types: "Supply" and "Demand." You should input your order block type in this parameter. Enter "Demand" for drawing demand zones and "Supply" for drawing supply zones.
TriggerCondition : Input the condition under which you want the order block to be drawn in this parameter.
DistalPrice : Generally, if each zone is formed by two lines, the farthest line from the price is termed "Distal." This input receives the price of the "Distal" line.
ProximalPrice : Generally, if each zone is formed by two lines, the nearest line to the price is termed "Proximal" line.
Index : This input receives the value of the "bar_index" at the beginning of the order block. You should store the "bar_index" value at the occurrence of the condition for the order block to be drawn and input it here.
OBValidDis : Order blocks continue to be drawn until a new order block is drawn or the order block is "Mitigate." You can specify how many candles after their initiation order blocks should continue. If you want no limitation, enter the number 4998.
Show : You may need to manage whether to display or hide order blocks. When this input is "On", order blocks are displayed, and when it's "Off", order blocks are not displayed.
ColorZone : You can input your preferred color for drawing order blocks.
🔵 Function Outputs
This function has only one output. This output is of type "Boolean" and becomes "true" only when the price touches an order block. Each order block can be touched only once and then loses its validity. You can use this output for alerts.
= Drawing.OBDrawing('Demand', Condition, Distal, Proximal, Index, 4998, true, Color)

IDM Demands and Supplies HTF
Historical Order Blocks HTF
OB Mitigation HTF {touch/ extended}
Understanding the Features:
Chapter 1: Entries Enhancements
In this chapter, we delve into strategies to refine trading entries, focusing on the multi-timeframe analysis of extreme or decisional order blocks in the High Time Frame timeframe as a key point of interest. We highlight the significance of transitioning to the Low Time Frame chart for observing pivotal shifts in market behavior. By examining these concepts, traders can gain deeper insights into market dynamics and make more informed entries decisions at critical junctures.
Practical Example:
We had an Order Block Extreme on the 1-hour timeframe, and currently, we are on the recommended chart for trade entry, which is the 5-minute timeframe. We are patiently waiting to observe a 5-minute ChoCh in the market to enter a buying position since it's an OB Extreme Demand on the 1-hour timeframe. Here, it's crucial and important to focus on the entry timeframe rather than checking what's happening in the higher timeframe. The indicator facilitates this task as it provides us with real-time perspective and visibility of everything happening in the higher timeframe.
Chapter 2: Inducements HTF
It is important and useful to be aware of the various liquidity points across the different timeframes we use; sometimes, a reliable entry point in the Lower Time Frame (LTF) may be surrounded by inducements. Consequently, this point becomes unreliable, and prior to the arrival of this functionality, such anomalies could not be detected, especially when focusing on the market in the LTF. From now on, there will be no more such issues.
Practical Example:
Suppose we identify an Order Block Extreme on the 5M timeframe, indicating a potential entry level. However, when we switch to the 5M timeframe to look for an entry point, we observe an accumulation of inducements around this Order Block coming from a higher timeframe, whether it's M15 or H1. This suggests a potential weakness in the entry point and significant market liquidity, which will act as a trap zone. Before the introduction of this feature, we might have missed this crucial observation, but now we can detect these anomalies and adjust our strategy accordingly.
The only practical way to see theses confluences is to use this Indicator, see the example below
Chapter 03: High/Low – Bos - ChoCh Markings HTF

ZigZag Library [TradingFinder]🔵 Introduction
The "Zig Zag" indicator is an analytical tool that emerges from pricing changes. Essentially, it connects consecutive high and low points in an oscillatory manner. This method helps decipher price changes and can also be useful in identifying traditional patterns.
By sifting through partial price changes, "Zig Zag" can effectively pinpoint price fluctuations within defined time intervals.
🔵 Key Features
1. Drawing the Zig Zag based on Pivot points :
The algorithm is based on pivots that operate consecutively and alternately (switch between high and low swing). In this way, zigzag lines are connected from a swing high to a swing low and from a swing low to a swing high.
Also, with a very low probability, it is possible to have both low pivots and high pivots in one candle. In these cases, the algorithm tries to make the best decision to make the most suitable choice.
You can control what period these decisions are based on through the "PiPe" parameter.
2.Naming and labeling each pivot based on its position as "Higher High" (HH), "Lower Low" (LL), "Higher Low" (HL), and "Lower High" (LH).
Additionally, classic patterns such as HH, LH, LL, and HL can be recognized. All traders analyzing financial markets using classic patterns and Elliot Waves can benefit from the "zigzag" indicator to facilitate their analysis.
" HH ": When the price is higher than the previous peak (Higher High).
" HL ": When the price is higher than the previous low (Higher Low).
" LH ": When the price is lower than the previous peak (Lower High).
" LL ": When the price is lower than the previous low (Lower Low).
🔵 How to Use
First, you can add the library to your code as shown in the example below.
import TFlab/ZigZagLibrary_TradingFinder/1 as ZZ
Function "ZigZag" Parameters :
🟣 Logical Parameters
1. HIGH : You should place the "high" value here. High is a float variable.
2. LOW : You should place the "low" value here. Low is a float variable.
3. BAR_INDEX : You should place the "bar_index" value here. Bar_index is an integer variable.
4. PiPe : The desired pivot period for plotting Zig Zag is placed in this parameter. For example, if you intend to draw a Zig Zag with a Swing Period of 5, you should input 5.
PiPe is an integer variable.
Important :
Apart from the "PiPe" indicator, which is part of the customization capabilities of this indicator, you can create a multi-time frame mode for the indicator using 3 parameters "High", "Low" and "BAR_INDEX". In this way, instead of the data of the current time frame, use the data of other time frames.
Note that it is better to use the current time frame data, because using the multi-time frame mode is associated with challenges that may cause bugs in your code.
🟣 Setting Parameters
5. SHOW_LINE : It's a boolean variable. When true, the Zig Zag line is displayed, and when false, the Zig Zag line display is disabled.
6. STYLE_LINE : In this variable, you can determine the style of the Zig Zag line. You can input one of the 3 options: line.style_solid, line.style_dotted, line.style_dashed. STYLE_LINE is a constant string variable.
7. COLOR_LINE : This variable takes the input of the line color.
8. WIDTH_LINE : The input for this variable is a number from 1 to 3, which is used to adjust the thickness of the line that draws the Zig Zag. WIDTH_LINE is an integer variable.
9. SHOW_LABEL : It's a boolean variable. When true, labels are displayed, and when false, label display is disabled.
10. COLOR_LABEL : The color of the labels is set in this variable.

Smart Money Setup 01 [TradingFinder]Double Order Blocks Proof🔵 Introduction
The Price Action, styled as the "Smart Money Concept" or "SMC," was introduced by Mr. David J. Crouch in 2000 and is one of the most modern technical styles in the financial world. In financial markets, Smart Money refers to capital controlled by major market players (central banks, funds, etc.), and these traders can accurately predict market trends and achieve the highest profits.
In the "Smart Money" style, various types of "order blocks" can be traded. This indicator uses a type of "order block" originating from "BoS" (Breakout of Structure). The most important feature of this indicator is the confirmation of two order blocks.
🟣 Important
For example, after the first "BoS" and the formation of the first Order Block, if a second "BoS" occurs before touching the price of the first Order Block and the formation of the second Order Block, a trading setup with 2 order blocks is formed, which confirms the dominant market trend.
For a better understanding of this subject, see the explanations in the following two images.
Bullish Setup Details :
Bearish Setup Details :
🔵 How to Use
After adding the indicator to the chart, you should wait for the formation of the trading setup. You can observe different trading positions by changing the "Time Frame" and "Pivot Period." Generally, the higher the "Time Frame" and "Pivot Period," the more valid the formed setup is.

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

🔍 Key Details 🔍
The "Smart Money" concept refers to large institutional investors and professional traders who possess significant financial resources and expertise. The importance of smart money lies in their influence on market trends and price movements. Their actions and positions often serve as signals for retail traders and investors to make informed decisions.
Formation of Smart Money: Smart money is attracted to areas in the market where they can find favourable risk-to-reward opportunities.
1. Rally Base Rally (RBR) Zones: These zones occur after a rally (upward price movement), followed by a period of consolidation (base formation), and then another rally. Smart money often forms positions here as it suggests a strong uptrend continuation.
2. Rally Base Drop (RBD) Zones: In this case, there is a rally, followed by a base formation, but instead of another rally, the price drops. Smart money may position themselves here in anticipation of a potential trend reversal.
3. Drop Base Rally (DBR) Zones: These zones form when there is a drop in price, followed by a base formation, and then a rally. Smart money may take positions here, expecting a trend reversal to the upside.
4. Drop Base Drop (DBD) Zones: In this scenario, the price drops, then forms a base, but subsequently continues to drop. Smart money might take bearish positions here, anticipating further downward movement.
🚀 Pending Orders from Smart Money Zones: 🚀
When the price approaches these smart money zones, institutional investors often place remaining pending orders to enter the market.
By identifying RBR/DBR zones as potential buying opportunities and RBD/DBD zones as potential selling opportunities on price charts, retail traders can align their trades with smart money activities. Implementing proper risk management and confirming signals enhances the likelihood of successful trades by following the footsteps of institutional investors.

💎 Employing a Top-Down Approach and Multiple Time Frame Analysis: 💎
Let's delve into the concept of adopting a top-down approach combined with multiple time frame analysis in trading scenarios. It is consistently recommended to trade with the trend because, as the saying goes, "the trend is your friend." If you identify a demand zone on the chart but the overall trend is downward, it's crucial to confirm the stock's trend in higher timeframes. Avoid purchasing from the demand zone in such a scenario as you would be going against the trend. To consider buying from the demand zone, ensure that the overall trend is upward by checking the higher timeframe.
Similarly, if the higher timeframe trend is upward but the price is approaching a higher timeframe supply zone, refrain from buying in the lower timeframe. If the price reaches a higher timeframe supply zone, there is a likelihood that the price will face rejection from this zone.
If the price is significantly extended from the EMA 20 on a higher timeframe, for instance, if you plan to trade on a 30-minute timeframe and the price is considerably extended from the daily EMA 20, consider trading from zones that are closer to the daily EMA 20. When the price is extended from the higher timeframe EMA 20, it implies that the price is expensive, and there may be a tendency for it to return to the EMA 20. Therefore, it is advisable to trade from zones that are closer to the higher timeframe EMA 20 and avoid zones that are extended from the higher timeframe EMA 20.
For instance, imagine you're considering purchasing a stock that has reached a demand zone known as Rally Base Rally (RBR). If you identify a corresponding demand zone in a higher time frame located at the same position, and concurrently observe that the intermediate time frame indicates an upward trend, your potential for a successful trade is enhanced.
Conversely, if you spot a buying zone in a lower time frame, but notice a supply zone in the higher time frame at that exact position, the likelihood of a profitable trade decreases significantly. In such cases, it's prudent to steer clear of the lower time frame zone. This emphasizes the critical significance of employing a top-down approach or conducting a multiple time frame analysis.
Note: By Doing top down approach you can easily follow the footprints of smart money in the stock market or any other market by using this indicator and make well-informed trading decisions.
Remember, don't make decisions based only on one time frame. Check the overall trend of the stock and look at buying and selling points on bigger time scales. If you only use one time scale, your chances of making successful trades will be lower.
💎 To execute these comprehensive analyses and optimize your trading outcomes, you can make use of my indicator called "Demand & Supply Zone Scoring: Rally Base & Drop Concept."💎
This indicator is thoughtfully crafted to assess the strength of trade setups based on demand and supply zones through a scoring mechanism. It serves as your guide for correct top-down and multiple time frame analysis, eliminating the possibility of overlooking any strategic parameters.

MAutoFloorCeiling* MAutoFloorCeiling Indicator *
The MAutoFloorCeiling indicator is a powerful algorithm utilizing Wyckoffian concepts of Supply, Demand, and Volume Climaxes to determine and draw Support / Resistance levels automatically. It is the culmination of over 2 years of research. Drawing Support / Resistance lines automatically is a tremendous benefit to the trader as this provides structure to price and exposes market movement as well as which areas price is likely to respect or break out of.
* WHAT THE SCRIPT DOES *
The MAutoFloorCeiling algorithm draws Floor and Ceiling lines automatically. The price points at which these lines are drawn at are areas of increasing Supply, Demand, or Volume Climax respective to their Price Levels. Areas of Volume Climaxes are often respected by price, since price tends to return to them or break out of them, and hence form powerful Support / Resistance levels.
* HOW TO USE IT *
Floor and Ceiling lines correspond to Support and Resistance lines. When a line is draw consider the following questions
Is it a top / bottom?
Is it support / resistance?
Is it a breakout / breakdown?
Is it a pullback?
* HOW IT WORKS *
1. There are 2 types of lines: Floors and Ceilings
2. A Floor Line is drawn when there is a "Selling Volume Bias" (Volume Climaxes on downward price movement)
More Floor Lines get drawn if market continues to go lower combined with a "Selling Volume Bias"
3. A ceiling line is drawn when there is a "Buying Volume Bias" (Volume Climaxes on upward price movement)
More ceiling lines get drawn if market continues to go higher combined with a "Buying Volume Bias"
4. There is a 1 bar delay to confirm the creation of a new floor / ceiling line.
Once the new floor / ceiling is created, it draws forward with no delay.
* EXAMPLE AND USE CASES *
MAutoFloorCeiling draws lines that can be used as effective Support / Resistance Levels, Breakout Lines, and Pullback areas. Studying the Volume at these levels can provide insight as to where price is likely to go.
You can scan for Trend Like behavior such as
More Demand on Higher High = Increase in Volume on a Higher Ceiling
More Supply on Lower Low = Increase in Volume on a Lower Floor
You can scan for divergences such as
Less Demand on Higher High = Lower volume on a Higher Ceiling
Less Supply on on Lower Low = Lower volume on a Lower Floor
Pullbacks
A lower ceiling is representative of a pullback when price is going down.
A higher floor is representative of a pullback when price is going up.
You can inspect instances where the thrust of price is shortened, which means the distance between Ceiling or Floor lines becomes less as price struggles to continue in the direction it was moving. Or conversely the thrust of price as shown by the Floor / Ceiling lines can expand, which is indicative of a trend forming.

Flux Charts MTF Supply and Demand Zones (Premium)Indicator Overview
The Multi-Timeframe Supply & Demand Zones indicator by Flux Charts displays supply and demand zones on multiple timeframes with two different zone detection methods. These zones are commonly known as areas where there are lots of buyers/sellers present in the market.
Adaptive Detection Method
AMEX:SPY 5m timeframe, October 8 2023
Indicator Settings: (Timeframe: Chart & 15m, Method: Adaptive, Zone Multiplier: 1)
Many times supply and demand scripts try and precisely define conditions that qualify for supply and demand zones. People, however, when locating supply and demand zones manually generally do not take a quantitative approach, rather looking for qualities in price action that have generalized qualities and trends. The adaptive algorithm uniqueness comes from adapting the human approach to work computationally. It generalizes the qualities of supply and demand zones and locates areas in the chart with an acceptable similarity. Specifically, it looks for consolidated areas within the chart that are preceded by a rise or fall in price. The rise or fall length has to be a certain ratio to the consolidation length. If the criteria are met it will draw the zone, if a zone already exists at that price level it will ignore it or merge them if they are different timeframes. This results in a much more consistent ability to identify areas of supply and demand.
Basic Detection Method
The basic detection method looks for areas where price made drastic movements within a small period of time, which could indicate a high level of buyers/sellers at the spot. Thus, these zones are formed and can be used as areas of trading where money is going in/out of the markets.
Multi-Timeframe (MTF) S&D
Flux Charts supply and demand script utilizes MTF. This allows for displaying zones from different timeframes on one chart. Utilizing higher timeframes is a common practice in trading, and it can be easy to forget about key levels & zones on higher timeframes which could cause reversals/bounces.
Here is an example of a 15 minute supply zone formed on the NASDAQ, and with this indicator, you can also see this same 15 minute supply zone while being on a 5 minute candlestick chart, since you have the 15 minute zones enabled in the settings. This indicator offers supply & demand zones on multiple timeframes including the 5 minute, 15 minute, 30 minute, 1 hour, and 4 hour.
Settings
Method:
Choose between the Supply & Demand zones detection (Basic / Adaptive)
Zone Retests:
Choose how retests should be considered. You can choose between a high/low candle wick entering a zone, or a candle closing inside of a zone to be considered a valid retest.
Zone Invalidation:
Choose how zones are invalidated. You can choose between a high/low candle wick exiting a zone, or a candle closing outside of a zone to be considered a zone invalidation.
Zone multiplier:
Adjust zone size (1 is recommended)
Timeframe:
Choose the timeframes you would like Supply & Demand zones to be displayed from.
Zone Appearance:
Adjust the colors of Supply/Demand zones
Enable/Disable the center dashed line in zones
Display Labels:
Choose to toggle on/off retest & break labels
Notifications:
Choose what alerts you would like to receive. You can choose to have new zone formations, zone breaks, and zone retests.
Supply Demand Profiles [LuxAlgo]The Supply Demand Profiles is a charting tool that measures the traded volume at all price levels on the market over a specified time period and highlights the relationship between the price of a given asset and the willingness of traders to either buy or sell it, in other words, highlights key concepts as significant supply & demand zones, the distribution of the traded volume, and market sentiment at specific price levels within a specified time period, allowing traders to reveal dominant and/or significant price levels and to analyze the trading activity of a particular user-selected range.

Lune Technical Analysis Premium⬛️ Overview
Lune Technical Analysis is a state-of-the-art TradingView indicator, meticulously designed to provide real-time market insights. Distinguished by its non-repainting features that operate in real-time, this tool brings enhanced accuracy and timeliness to your market analysis.
🟦 Features
Lune Technical Analysis equips traders with an array of innovative features:
🔹 Candle Coloring: The Candle Coloring feature introduces an innovative approach to visualizing market sentiment by coloring chart candles. It is devised to streamline your market analysis, offering a readily digestible snapshot of market trends. For example, if you aim to gauge the predominant market sentiment promptly, enable this feature for instant candle color-coding in accordance with prevailing bullish or bearish market structures. Though it currently supports only Market Structure-based Candle Coloring, its settings can be manipulated for enabling or disabling this feature. This feature operates by applying predefined algorithms that interpret market sentiment, coloring the candles accordingly.
🔹 Chart Pattern Detection: This sophisticated tool automatically detects and illustrates common chart patterns on your chart, simplifying the process of pattern identification. It identifies a range of patterns such as Head & Shoulders, Inverted Head & Shoulders, Ascending/Descending Wedges, Broadening Wedges, various Triangles, and Double Tops/Bottoms, enhancing your confluence detection in the market. For example, upon detecting a Double Top pattern, you could anticipate a potential price reversal due to this bearish signal. The sensitivity of this tool can be customized according to your trading style, with lower settings for short-term changes and higher for long-term. This feature leverages predefined formulas and price action analysis to identify these patterns.
🔹 Trendlines: With the Automatic Trendline Drawing tool, your technical analysis becomes significantly more efficient and precise. This feature is engineered to identify upward and downward Trendlines, aiding in locating potential pivots, and market support/resistance. For instance, if the price consistently rebounds off a Trendline, it may continue to do so, serving as a support/resistance level. However, a break through the Trendline could signal potential volatility and trend change. This feature's sensitivity to price changes can be adjusted to either short or long-term. It works by tracing Trendlines based on price action and wick formations to detect potential pivots.
🔹 Liquidity Bubbles: Liquidity Bubbles is an advanced tool that pinpoints key liquidity areas and large positions in real-time. This feature significantly contributes to effective trading strategy formulation by highlighting potential entry and exit points. It operates in real-time, ensuring zero repaint or lag, and supports two modes: Enhanced Bubbles and Basic Bubbles. For instance, the detection of multiple bullish Liquidity Bubbles during a ranging market could suggest an upward price movement due to dominant bullish volume. This feature's settings include thresholds for insignificant bubble filtering and a mode selection feature. Liquidity Bubbles operates by applying a proprietary formula to volume data, determining general volume direction and potential positions.
🔹 Market Structure: The Market Structure tool identifies key market structures such as Break of Structures (BoS) and Change of Character (ChoCh), thereby enhancing your ability to read market trends and sentiment. This smart money concept gives you a unique insight into short-term and long-term market trends. For instance, the appearance of a bullish Break of Structure and Change of Character after a predominantly bearish market sentiment could suggest a new bullish trend. This feature allows users to select which Market Structures to display and calculates these structures based on the market's high and low points.
🔹 Order Blocks: Order Blocks provide a visual representation of areas where large market participants are likely to place orders. These zones, where significant buying or selling activity has occurred in the past, offer insightful data for future price movements. The Order Blocks feature operates in real-time, providing real-time Order Blocks without any lag. For instance, if the price enters a large Order Block with predominantly bullish volume, an upward price movement can be anticipated. However, if the price breaks through the block, it could suggest the block's invalidation and a likely continued price fall. You can configure the settings to enable an additional Order Block, customize timeframes, overlap functions, and apply a quality filter. This feature calculates Order Blocks using the volume and candle size data.
🔹 Supply/Demand Zones: This real-time tool identifies crucial supply and demand zones, revealing potential price reaction points. These zones, where supply (selling pressure) and demand (buying pressure) have historically impacted price significantly, provide traders with insights into potential areas of strong support (demand) and resistance (supply). For example, if the price enters a large supply zone, a price rejection could be anticipated due to historical selling pressure at this zone. The settings enable users to add an additional Supply/Demand Zone, customize the timeframe, and apply a quality filter. This feature identifies common Supply/Demand Zones patterns based on volume and the size of the zone and displays them on the chart.
🔹 Fair Value Gaps: The Fair Value Gaps tool is designed to identify potential price correction zones or "gaps". These areas, where the market price sharply deviated from the fair value, suggest potential price adjustments in the future. For instance, the formation of a bullish Fair Value Gap could indicate a future price drop to fill this gap, potentially followed by an upward movement if the gap was of fair value. The settings allow users to enable additional Fair Value Gaps, customize the timeframe, and apply a quality filter. This feature measures large market gaps based on the size of the gap and its volume.
These features and tools collectively offer a comprehensive solution for traders to understand and navigate the financial markets. It's important to remember that they are designed to assist in making informed trading decisions and should be used as part of a balanced trading strategy.
🟧 Usage
Lune Technical Analysis's unique feature set can be leveraged both individually and synergistically. It is important to understand each feature and experiment with different configurations to best suit your unique trading needs.
🔸 Example #1: The following example demonstrates how the Order Block and Liquidity Bubbles feature can be used together to enhance your market analysis.
Order Blocks work in real-time to identify key order zones based on price action. These zones are often crucial for predicting price fluctuations. Meanwhile, Liquidity Bubbles act as real-time visual cues that detect significant market positions, facilitating an understanding of market accumulation, distribution, and trapped positions.
In this instance, at point 1, a bearish Basic and Enhanced Liquidity Bubble is visible within a crucial Order Block. The combination of these indicators augments the bearish sentiment, leading to a potential price decrease. Similarly, at point 2, the conjunction of two bullish Basic Liquidity Bubbles within an Order Block strengthens the bullish sentiment, culminating in a subsequent price increase.
🔸 Example #2: The following example demonstrates how Supply and Demand Zones can be used to detect strong and quality supports and resistance.
Supply and Demand Zones operate in real-time, detecting crucial zones based on price action and volume. This feature is invaluable for predicting potential price reaction points.
At point 1, the price enters a Supply Zone, a historical hotspot for selling activity, which usually leads to a price rejection and consequent decrease. At point 2, a Demand Zone indicating a bullish sentiment suggests a potential reversal when the price touches this level.
🔸 Example #3: The following example demonstrates how the Chart Pattern Detection feature is able to detect chart patterns to help enhance your trades.
Chart Pattern Detection employs formulas and price action analysis to identify common chart patterns as they form. Here, it successfully detects a 'Head and Shoulders' pattern, a conventionally bearish pattern, indicating a potential price drop.
🟥 Conclusion
Lune Technical Analysis stands as an exceptional blend of real-time insights into market activity. Its real-time, non-repainting features offer traders a more precise and timely approach to market analysis, promoting improved decision making in ever-changing market conditions.

A Liquidity Sentiment Profile is a combination of a liquidity and a sentiment profile, where the right part of the profile displays the distribution of the traded activity at different price levels and the left part displays the market sentiment at those price levels.
The Liquidity Sentiment Profiles are visualized with different colors, where each color has a different meaning.
The Liquidity Sentiment Profiles aim to present Value Areas based on the significance of price levels, thus allowing users to identify value areas that can be formed more than once within the range of a single profile.

Bitcoin Limited Growth ModelThe Bitcoin Limeted Growth is a model proposed by QuantMario that offers an alternative approach to estimating Bitcoin's price based on the Stock-to-Flow (S2F) ratio. This model takes into account the limitations of the traditional S2F model and introduces refinements to enhance its analysis.
The S2F model is commonly used to analyze Bitcoin's price by considering the scarcity of the asset, measured by the stock (existing supply) relative to the flow (new supply). However, the LGS-S2F Bitcoin Price Formula recognizes the need for improvements and presents an updated perspective on Bitcoin's price dynamics.
Invalidation of the Normal S2F Model:
The normal S2F model has faced criticisms and challenges. One of the limitations is its assumption of a linear relationship between the S2F ratio and Bitcoin's price, overlooking potential nonlinearities and other market dynamics. Additionally, the normal S2F model does not account for external influences, such as market sentiment, regulatory developments, and technological advancements, which can significantly impact Bitcoin's price.
Addressing the Issues:
The LGS-S2F Bitcoin Price Formula introduces refinements to address the limitations of the traditional S2F model. These refinements aim to provide a more comprehensive analysis of Bitcoin's price dynamics:
Nonlinearity: The LGS-S2F model recognizes that the relationship between the S2F ratio and Bitcoin's price may not be linear. It incorporates a logistic growth function that considers the diminishing returns of scarcity and the saturation of market demand.
Data Analysis: The LGS-S2F model employs statistical analysis and data-driven techniques to validate its predictions. It leverages historical data and econometric modeling to support its analysis of Bitcoin's price.
Utility:
The LGS-S2F Bitcoin Price Formula offers insights for traders and investors in the cryptocurrency market. By incorporating a more refined approach to analyzing Bitcoin's price, this model provides an alternative perspective. It allows market participants to consider various factors beyond the S2F ratio alone, potentially aiding in their decision-making processes.
Key Features:
Adjustable Coefficients
Sigma calculation methods: Normal or Stdev

The LGS-S2F Bitcoin Price Formula was developed by QuantMario, who has contributed to the field of cryptocurrency analysis through their research and modeling efforts.
EMA/SMA Cross +Introducing the EMA/SMA Cross + , a powerful and customizable indicator designed specifically for TradingView. This indicator is unlike any other, as it combines the strengths of both Exponential Moving Average (EMA) and Simple Moving Average (SMA) in conjunction with supply and demand zones to provide you with a comprehensive understanding of price action. The EMA/SMA Cross + is perfect for traders looking for an edge in the market.
How it works:
The EMA/SMA Cross + indicator utilizes two moving averages: a short-term EMA and a long-term SMA. The short-term EMA is calculated using a user-defined length (default: 120) and the closing prices of the selected timeframe. Similarly, the long-term SMA is calculated using a user-defined length (default: 200) and the closing prices of the selected timeframe. These moving averages are then plotted on the chart along with their respective crosses.
When the short-term EMA crosses above the long-term SMA, it signals a bullish trend, and a green circle appears on the chart. Conversely, when the short-term EMA crosses below the long-term SMA, it signals a bearish trend, and a red circle appears on the chart.
Supply and Demand Zones:
In addition to the moving average crosses, the EMA/SMA Cross + indicator also displays supply and demand zones. These zones are created whenever a cross occurs, representing areas where the price is likely to reverse or consolidate. The supply zones (bullish) are displayed as green dashed boxes, while the demand zones (bearish) are displayed as red dashed boxes.
To use these zones in conjunction with price action, traders can look for potential entry points when the price approaches a zone. For example, if the price is approaching a bullish supply zone, traders may consider entering a long position, anticipating a potential upward price movement. On the other hand, if the price is approaching a bearish demand zone, traders may consider entering a short position, anticipating a potential downward price movement.
The EMA/SMA Cross + indicator sets itself apart from other TradingView indicators with its distinctive blend of features and customization options. Users can effortlessly modify the following:
TimeFrame: Adjust the higher time frame used for the calculations.
Length: Customize the length of the EMA and SMA.
Display last X zones: Limit the number of displayed zones to the most recent ones.
Colors: Personalize the colors of bullish circles, bearish circles, supply boxes, and demand boxes.
Uniqueness and Code Protection
The EMA/SMA Cross + indicator stands out from other TradingView indicators due to its unique combination of EMA and SMA, along with the integration of supply and demand zones. This innovative approach provides a comprehensive view of the market, allowing traders to make more informed decisions.
Please note that the code for this script is protected to maintain its uniqueness and ensure that it remains exclusive to our users.
Supply and Demand Daily [LuxAlgo]The Supply and Demand Daily indicator displays daily supply and demand areas on the user's chart. These areas are constructed using the market data within a previous daily interval.
This script makes use of the same logic as our previous Supply and Demand Visible Range indicator .
🔶 USAGE
The supply/demand areas & levels displayed by the indicator aim to provide potential support/resistance levels for users. Supply areas highlight where buyers are willing to exit the market and sell the asset, thus providing resistance and potentially causing prices to reverse or bounce back downwards, while demand areas highlights where buyers were willing to purchase the asset, thus providing support and potentially causing prices to reverse or bounce back upwards.
Historical areas allow the user to study the evolution of supply/demand from one day to another. Wider areas highlight prices avoiding reverting to this area, while thinner areas highlight prices returning more frequently to them.
Trends can be determined by looking at the price position relative to the previous day's supply/demand areas. Price breaking down from the demand zone is indicative of a downtrend, while price breaking above the supply zone is indicative of an uptrend.
Pullback/throwback scenarios can also be common using this indicator.
🔶 SETTINGS
Threshold %: Percentage of the total visible range volume used as a threshold to set supply/demand areas. Higher values return wider areas.
Resolution: Determines the number of bins used to find each area. Higher values will return more precise results.
Intra-bar TF: Timeframe used to obtain intra-bar data.

Supply and Demand Based Pattern [RH]This indicator focuses on detecting RBR and DBD patterns, which signify periods of increased momentum and potential continuation or reversal of the prevailing trend.
The RBR pattern consists of a rally (upward movement), followed by a base (consolidation or retracement), and then another rally. It suggests that the upward momentum may persist and provide trading opportunities.
On the other hand, the DBD pattern comprises a drop (downward movement), followed by a base, and then another drop. It indicates that the downward momentum might continue, offering potential shorting opportunities.
Bullish(RBR) example:
Bearish(DBD) example:
1. The bullish (RBR) and bearish (DBD) patterns share the same underlying logic, only differing in their directionality.
2. For both RBR and DBD patterns, the first rise/drop can consist of one or multiple candles. However, in the case of multiple candles, all candles must exhibit a bullish nature for RBR and a bearish nature for DBD.
Example:
3. It is a prerequisite for the first rise/drop to include at least one candle with a defined percentage of health, as determined by the user.
4. The base, following the first rise/drop, may comprise one or multiple candles.
Example:
5. To maintain consistency, the base is not allowed to retrace beyond 80%, although this value can be adjusted by the user.
6. Similar to the first rise/drop, the second rise/drop in both RBR and DBD patterns can consist of one or multiple candles. However, all candles within this phase must demonstrate a bullish nature for RBR and a bearish nature for DBD.
7. Confirmation of the bullish (RBR) pattern occurs when a candle closes above the high of the first rise. Conversely, the bearish (DBD) pattern is confirmed when a candle closes below the low of the first drop.
Example:
Alerts can be set for all bullish and bearish pattern or for the first pattern in the range of similar pattern.
Swing Volume Profiles [LuxAlgo]The Swing Volume Profiles indicator aims to calculate and highlight trading activity at specific price levels between two swing points; allowing traders to reveal dominant and/or significant price levels based on volume.
By measuring traded volume at all price levels in the market over a specified time period, the script can also be used to detect some key analysis generally such as supply & demand, buy-side & sell-side liquidity levels, unfilled liquidity voids, and imbalances that can highlight on the chart.
🔶 USAGE
A volume profile is an advanced charting tool that displays the traded volume at different price levels over a specific period. It helps you visualize where the majority of trading activity has occurred.
Key Levels are the areas where the volume is concentrated or where there are significant volume spikes. These levels are known as key support and resistance levels. High-volume nodes indicate areas of high activity and are likely to act as support or resistance in the future.
Volume profile also helps identify value areas, which represent the price levels where the most trading activity has taken place. These levels can act as areas of support or resistance as traders perceive them as fair value.
The Point of Control describes the price level where the most volume was traded. A Naked Point of Control (also called a Virgin Point of Control) is a previous POC that has not been traded. Extending PoC options 'Until Bar Cross' or 'Until Bar Touch' helps in identifying Naked Point of Control Lines.
Previous PoC levels can serve as support and resistance for future price movements. Extending PoC Level 'Until Last Bar' option will help to identify such levels.
🔶 DETAILS
One of the unique features of the script is its ability to detect some other key levels such as levels of acceptance and rejection.
Levels of rejection we may summarize as supply and demand levels, these are also referred to as buy-side and sell-side liquidity levels. They usually occur at extreme highs or lows, where prices may be too high for buyers (high supply, low demand) or too low for sellers (low supply, high demand)
Levels of acceptance are the levels where Liquidity Voids occur, these are also referred to imbalances. Liquidity voids are sudden changes in price when the price jumps from one level to another. The peculiar thing about liquidity voids is that they almost always fill up, so we call them levels of acceptance.
🔶 ALERTS
When an alert is configured, the user will have the ability to be notified in case:
Point Of Control Line is touched/crossed
Value Area High Line is touched/crossed
Value Area Low Line is touched/crossed

Directional Volume EStimate from Price Action (RedK D_VESPA)The "Directional Volume EStimate from Price Action (RedK D_VESPA)" is another weapon for the VPA (Volume Price Analysis) enthusiasts and traders who like to include volume-based insights & signals to their trading. The basic concept is to estimate the sell and buy split of the traded volume by extrapolating the price action represented by the shape of the associated price bar. We then create and plot an average of these "estimated buy & sell volumes" - the estimated average Net Volume is the balance between these 2 averages.
D_VESPA uses clear visualizations to represent the outcomes in a less distracting and more actionable way.
How does D_VESPA work?
-------------------------------------
The key assumption is that when price moves up, this is caused by "buy" volume (or increasing demand), and when the price moves down, this is due to "selling" volume (or increasing supply). Important to note that we are making our Buy/sell volume estimates here based on the shape of the price bar, and not looking into lower time frame volume data - This is a different approach and is still aligned to the key concepts of VPA.
Originally this work started as an improvement to my Supply/Demand Volume Viewer (V.Viewer) , I ended up re-writing the whole thing after some more research and work on VPA, to improve the estimation, visualization and usability / tradability.
Think of D_VESPA as the "Pro" version of V.Viewer -- and please go back and review the details of V.Viewer as the root concepts are the same so I won't repeat them here (as it comes to exploring Balance Zone and finding Price Convergence/Divergence)
Main Features of D_VESPA
--------------------------------------
- Update Supply/Demand calculation to include 2-bar gaps (improved algo)
- Add multiple options for the moving average (MA type) for the calculation - my preference is to use WMA
- Add option to show Net Volume as 3-color bars
- Visual simplification and improvements to be less distracting & more actionable
- added options to display/hide main visuals while maintaining the status line consistency (Avg Supply, Avg Demand, Avg Net)
- add alerts for NetVol moving into Buy (crosses 0 up) or Sell (crosses 0 down) modes - or swing from one mode to the other
(there are actually 2 sets of alerts, one set for the main NetVol plot, and the other for the secondary TF NetVol - give user more options on how to utilize D_VESPA)
Quick techie piece, how does the estimated buy/sell volume algo work ?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* per our assumption, buy volume is associated with price up-moves, sell volume is associated with price down-moves
* so each of the bulls and bears will get the equivalent of the top & bottom wicks,
* for up bars, bulls get the value of the "body", else the bears get the "body"
* open gaps are allocated to bulls or bears depending on the gap direction
The below sketch explains how D_VESPA estimates the Buy/Sell Volume split based on the bar shape (including gap) - the example shows a bullish bar with an opening gap up - but the concept is the same for a down-bar or a down-gap.
I kept both the "Volume Weighted" and "2-bar Gap Impact" as options in the indicator settings - these 2 options should be always kept selected. They are there for those who would like to experiment with the difference these changes have on the buy/sell estimation. The indicator will handle cases where there is no volume data for the selected symbol, and in that case, it will simply reflect Average Estimated Bull/Bear ratio of the price bar
The Secondary TF Est Average Net Volume:
---------------------------------------------------------
I added the ability to plot the Estimate Average Net Volume for a secondary timeframe - options 1W, 1D, 1H, or Same as Chart.
- this feature provides traders the confidence to trade the lower timeframes in the same direction as the prevailing "market mode"
- this also adds more MTF support beyond the existing TradingView's built-in MTF support capability - experiment with various settings between exposing the indicator's secondary TF plot, and changing the TF option in the indicator settings.
Note on the secondary TF NetVol plot:
- the secondary TF needs to be set to same as or higher TF than the chart's TF - if not, a warning sign would show and the plot will not be enabled. for example, a day trader may set the secondary TF to 1Hr or 1Day, while looking at 5min or 15min chart. A swing/trend trader who frequently uses the daily chart may set the secondary TF to weekly, and so on..
- the secondary TF NetVol plot is hidden by default and needs to be exposed thru the indicator settings.
the below chart shows D_VESPA on a the same (daily) chart, but with secondary TF plot for the weekly TF enabled
Final Thoughts
-------------------
* RedK D_VESPA is a volume indicator, that estimates buy/sell and net volume averages based on the price action reflected by the shape of the price bars - this can provide more insight on volume compared to the classic volume/VolAverage indicator and assist traders in exploring the market mode (buyers/sellers - bullish/bearish) and align trades to it.
* Because D_VESPA is a volume indicator, it can't be used alone to generate a trading signal - and needs to be combined with other indicators that analysis price value (range), momentum and trend. I recommend to at least combine D_VESPA with a variant of MACD and RSI to get a full view of the price action relative to the prevailing market and the broader trend.
* I found it very useful to take note and "read" how the Est Buy vs Est Sell lines move .. they sort of "tell a story" - experiment with this on your various chart and note the levels of estimate avg demand vs estimate avg supply that this indicator exposes for some very valuable insight about how the chart action is progressing. Please feel free to share feedback below.
