[Options Strategies] Selling Covered Calls and Puts (TSO) This trading indicator assists with traditional covered options trading strategies like Covered Calls, Covered Puts, and Cash Secured Puts. It also offers advanced features for trading options intelligently by utilizing options specific levels, such as BE (Break Even) and Strike (all visually shown on chart) in combination with S&R (Support and Resistance), Trend Lines, and other technical analysis tools such as MA (Moving Averages) and ATR Average True Range, all integrated within the indicator.
* Covered options approach over trading shares or options separately offers distinct advantages:
- Reduced Risk and Flexibility : Covered options strategy provides a more conservative approach by combining stock ownership with options trading. It reduces risk exposure compared to buying options outright or trading shares alone. Additionally, it offers flexibility in various market conditions.
- Profitability in Sideways Markets: Covered options allow for profitability in scenarios where the stock price is either moving optimally or remaining sideways. In contrast, just holding stocks might not yield significant gains in a sideways market, and buying options can result in losses due to time decay.
- Protection Against Price Movements: In covered options, if the stock price goes against the trade, the loss is mitigated by the premium received from selling the options. This provides a level of protection compared to other trading strategies where losses can accumulate more rapidly.

An example of a Smart Covered Calls trading SPY.
STRATEGY EXPLANATION:
* Trade Open Trigger (Bullish/Sideway)
>>> S&R (Support and Resistance) or Trend Line broken, bounced off or simply near (if price is near/slightly crossing S&R/Trend Line > a bounce often takes place)
>>> Confirmation by additional TA (Technical Analysis) tools.
>>> EXAMPLE: Broken Resistance combined with a Trend Line up-bounce, confirmed by bullish 200EMA.
* TP (Take-Profit)
>>> Contracts Expire at Expiration date: Premium received for selling contracts kept.
>>> Assignment: Premium received for selling contracts kept + stock assigned/sold at a higher price than it was purchased.
* BE/SL (Break Even Stop-Loss) |
>>> BE/SL hit: stock sold at a slight loss with options contracts bought out (BTC - Buy to Close) at a lower price than initially sold (since price went down and these are calls), so technically the loss is reduced by the partial Premium still kept from initially sold contracts at trade open.
>>> Increasing the BE/SL distance: for wider BE/SL > Bid Price needs to be increased:
- Set longer Expiration date.
- Set closer Strike price.
NOTE: With longer Expiration date and closer Strike, chances of assignment increase as well. It's best to find an optimal level, where BE/SL is behind a Support/Resistance level and/or an established trend line and/or Large Length Moving Average, yet not extremely far away.

An example of a Smart Covered Puts trading SPY.
STRATEGY EXPLANATION:
* Trade Open Trigger (Bearish/Sideway)
>>> S&R (Support and Resistance) or Trend Line broken, bounced off or simply near (if price is near/slightly crossing S&R/Trend Line > a bounce often takes place)
>>> Confirmation by additional TA (Technical Analysis) tools.
>>> EXAMPLE: Broken Resistance combined with a Trend Line down-bounce, confirmed by bearish 200EMA.
* TP (Take-Profit)
>>> Contracts Expire at Expiration date: Premium received for selling contracts kept.
>>> Assignment: Premium received for selling contracts kept + stock assigned/bought-to-cover at a lower price than it was shorted.
* BE/SL (Break Even Stop-Loss) |
>>> BE/SL hit: stock bought-to-cover at a slight loss with options contracts bought out (BTC - Buy to Close) at a lower price than initially sold (since price went up and these are puts), so technically the loss is reduced by the partial Premium still kept from initially sold contracts at trade open.
>>> Increasing the BE/SL distance: for wider BE/SL > Bid Price needs to be increased:
- Set longer Expiration date.
- Set closer Strike price.
NOTE: With longer Expiration date and closer Strike, chances of assignment increase as well. It's best to find an optimal level, where BE/SL is behind a Support/Resistance level and/or an established trend line and/or Large Length Moving Average, yet not extremely far away.

An example of a Smart Secured Cash Puts trading SPY.
STRATEGY EXPLANATION:
* Trade Open Trigger (Bullish/Sideway)
>>> Bullish steady trend.
>>> Confirmation by additional TA (Technical Analysis) tools.
>>> EXAMPLE: Slowly rising price action above 200EMA.
* TP (Take-Profit)
>>> Early BTC: BTC (Buy to Close) before Expiration date if options premium/contract price already reduced by at least 50-90% (the reduced price is the profit, if premium lost 90% - only 10% will need to be paid to buy options out to close the trade) and if the stock price is nearing Resistance, Trend Line or big length moving average (like 200EMA) as a bounce may happen or even a potential reverse of the trend. If there is no trend reversal or a small correction bounce occurs, with further trend continuation > another Cash Secured Puts trade can be opened with new Expiration date and Strike.
>>> Contracts Expire at Expiration date: Premium received for selling contracts kept, considering the Strike was never hit.
>>> Assignment with stock closing below Strike and above/near BE (Break Even): Premium received for selling contracts kept. NOTE: It is best to get rid of the stock ASAP to then open a new Cash Secured Puts trade with lower Strike and a new Expiration date.
* BE/SL (Break Even Stop-Loss) |
>>> BE/SL hit: contracts bought out (BTC - Buy to Close) at a higher price than initially sold (since price went down and these are puts), the amount/difference in current contract price is the loss (as premium received + contract price increase is the total cost, which will have to be paid to buy the countracts out).
>>> Increasing the BE/SL distance: for wider BE/SL > Bid Price needs to be increased:
- Set longer Expiration date.
- Set closer Strike price.
NOTE: With longer Expiration date and closer Strike, chances of assignment increase as well. It's best to find an optimal level, where BE/SL is behind a Support/Resistance level and/or an established trend line and/or Large Length Moving Average, yet not extremely far away.

An example of Options Wheel strategy trading TQQQ. See how Strike and BE (Break Even) hits are displayed every time they occur.
STRATEGY EXPLANATION:
* Trade Open Trigger (Bullish/Sideway)
>>> Options Wheel strategy combines Cash Secured Puts with Covered Calls, so a steady bullish trend is preferred with lower volatility.
>>> It's best to start with Cash Secured Puts until assignment hits (stocks purchased), then switch to Covered Calls until assignment hits (stocks sold) and so on.
* TP (Take-Profit)
>>> Contracts Expire at Expiration date: Premium received for selling contracts kept.
>>> Assignment: Premium received for selling contracts kept. Stock is assigned (purchased if Cash Secured Puts were sold | sold if Covered Calls were sold ).
* BE/SL (Break Even Stop-Loss)
>>> Assignment is the stop-loss for this strategy, which ends current trade and starts next one. It is not a direct loss, but could result a long unrealized losses if after stock purchase assignment it goes down for a while or even a complete loss if low-cap company is used and it goes out of business.
>>> BE/SL distance can still be increased/kept optimal: for wider BE/SL > Bid Price needs to be increased:
- Set longer Expiration date.
- Set closer Strike price.
NOTE: With longer Expiration date and closer Strike, chances of assignment increase as well. It's best to find an optimal level, where BE/SL is behind a Support/Resistance level and/or an established Trend Line and/or Large Length Moving Average, yet not extremely far away.

Reversal and Breakout Signals [AlgoAlpha]🚀🌟 Introducing the Reversal and Breakout Signals by AlgoAlpha 🌟🚀
This innovative tool is crafted to enhance your chart analysis by identifying potential reversal and breakout opportunities directly on your charts. It's designed with both novice and experienced traders in mind, providing intuitive visual cues for better decision-making. Let's dive into the key features and how it operates:
### Key Features:
🔶 Dynamic Period Settings: Customize the sensitivity of the indicator with user-defined periods for both the indicator and volume strength.
📊 Volume Threshold: Set a threshold to define what constitutes strong volume, enabling the identification of significant market movements.
💡 Trend Coloring: Option to color candles during trends, making it easier to visualize bullish and bearish market conditions.
🌈 Customizable Visuals: Choose your preferred colors for bullish, bearish, and breakout signals, personalizing the chart to your liking.
🚨 Advanced Alert System: Configure alerts for reversal and breakout signals, ensuring you never miss a potential trading opportunity.
### How to Use:
To maximize the effectiveness of the Reversal and Breakout Signals tool, follow these steps:
1. 🔧 Set Up Your Preferences:
- Adjust the Indicator Period and Volume Strength Period to match the timeframe of your trading strategy. This fine-tuning allows the indicator to better align with your specific market analysis needs.
- Define the Strong Volume Threshold to distinguish between ordinary and significant volume movements. This helps in identifying breakout or reversal signals with higher confidence.
2. 🎨 Customize Visuals:
- Choose colors for Bullish , Bearish , and Breakout Signals to visually differentiate between different types of market activities. This customization facilitates quicker decision-making while scanning charts.
3. 🔍 Reversal Signals:
- Bullish Reversal : Look for a triangle below the bar indicating a potential upward movement. It's identified when the price dips below the lower level but closes above it, suggesting a rejection of lower prices.
- Bearish Reversal : A triangle above the bar signals a potential downward movement. This occurs when the price spikes above the upper level but closes below, indicating a rejection of higher prices.
4. 📈 Trend and Breakout Signals:
- Diamonds represent breakout signals. A bullish breakout is marked below the bar when the price closes above the upper level, suggesting strong buying pressure. Conversely, a bearish breakout above the bar indicates strong selling pressure as the price closes below the lower level.
- The tool also features a Trend Tracker that highlights the current market trend using the Hull Moving Average (HMA). This can help you stay aligned with the overall market direction for your trades.
By integrating these steps into your trading strategy, the Reversal and Breakout Signals tool can provide actionable insights to help identify potential entry and exit points, enhancing your trading decisions with visual cues and alerts for market reversals and breakouts.
### How It Works:
The core logic revolves around calculating weighted moving averages of high and low prices over a user-defined period, identifying the highest and lowest points within this period to establish potential breakout or breakdown levels while reducing the amount of noise, hence the use of moving averages.
1. Weighted Moving Averages Calculation:
sh = ta.wma(high, len)
sl = ta.wma(low, len)
h = ta.highest(sh, len)
l = ta.lowest(sl, len)
2. Breakout and Reversal Detection:
The script then employs logic to detect bullish and bearish breakouts and reversals based on the closing price's position relative to these levels, combined with volume analysis to confirm the strength of the move.
if not (h < h or h > h )
hstore := h
if not (l < l or l > l )
lstore := l
bullishbreakout := (breakout or ((breakout or breakout or breakout or breakout ) and candledir == 1)) and strongvol and not (bullishbreakout or bullishbreakout or bullishbreakout )
bearishbreakout := (breakdown or ((breakdown or breakdown or breakdown or breakdown ) and candledir == -1)) and strongvol and not (bearishbreakout or bearishbreakout or bearishbreakout )
3. Visual Indicators and Alerts:
Visual cues such as triangle shapes for reversals and diamonds for breakouts, along with colored bars, make it easy to spot these opportunities. Additionally, alerts can be set up for these events, ensuring traders can react promptly to potential trading setups.

This innovative indicator merges the precision of the Fisher Transform with the adaptability of the SuperTrend methodology, offering a fresh perspective on market analysis. 📈🔍
Key Features:
🔶 Customizable Settings: Tailor the indicator to your trading style with adjustable inputs like "Fair-value Period" and "EMA Length". Choose your preferred "Up Color" and "Down Color" for a personalized visual experience.
🔶 Advanced Fisher Transform: At the heart of this tool is the Fisher Transform, an algorithm renowned for pinpointing potential price reversals by normalizing asset prices.
🔶 Integrated SuperTrend Functionality: This feature adds a layer of trend analysis, using the refined Fisher Transform values to generate dynamic, trend-following signals.
🔶 Enhanced Visualization: Clearly distinguishable bullish and bearish market phases, thanks to the color-coded plots of Fisher Transform and SuperTrend values.
🔶 Overbought/Oversold Levels: Visual plots and fills for these levels provide additional insights into market extremities.
🔶 Configurable Alerts: Stay informed with alerts for critical market movements like crossing the zero line or the SuperTrend.
Logic:
The "Super Fisher" operates on a sophisticated algorithm:
1. Fisher Transform Calculation: It starts by calculating the Detrended Price Oscillator (DPO) and its standard deviation. These values are then transformed using the Fisher Transform formula, which is subsequently smoothed with a Hull Moving Average.
2. SuperTrend Integration: The SuperTrend function employs the Fisher Transform values to create a dynamic trend-following tool. It calculates upper and lower bands and determines which one to use for market direction based on whether the fisher is above or below the bands, offering an insightful view of the price trend.
3. Overbought/Oversold Identification: The tool plots specific levels to indicate overbought and oversold conditions, aiding in the identification of potential reversal points.
Here's a closer look at the core calculations:
Calculates the Fisher Transform:
value = 0.0
value := round_(.66 * ((src - low_) / (high_ - low_) - .5) + .67 * nz(value ))
fish1 = 0.0
fish1 := .5 * math.log((1 + value) / (1 - value)) + .5 * nz(fish1 )
fish1 := ta.hma(fish1, l)
Calculates the SuperTrend:
supertrend(factor, atrPeriod, srcc) =>
src = srcc
atr = atrr(srcc, atrPeriod)
upperBand = src + factor * atr
lowerBand = src - factor * atr
prevLowerBand = nz(lowerBand )
prevUpperBand = nz(upperBand )
lowerBand := lowerBand > prevLowerBand or srcc < prevLowerBand ? lowerBand : prevLowerBand
upperBand := upperBand < prevUpperBand or srcc > prevUpperBand ? upperBand : prevUpperBand
int direction = na
float superTrend = na
prevSuperTrend = superTrend
if na(atr )
direction := 1
else if prevSuperTrend == prevUpperBand
direction := srcc > upperBand ? -1 : 1
else
direction := srcc < lowerBand ? 1 : -1
superTrend := direction == -1 ? lowerBand : upperBand
How to Use:
📊 To maximize the potential of the "Super Fisher", follow these steps:
1. Customize Settings: Adjust the inputs to match your trading preferences. This includes setting the periods for the Fisher Transform and SuperTrend, as well as choosing colors for better visualization.
2. Analyze the Market: Observe the Fisher Transform and SuperTrend plots to gauge market direction. Pay special attention to color changes, as they indicate shifts in market sentiment.
3. Identify Extremes: Use the overbought and oversold plots to understand potential reversal points.
4. Set Alerts: Utilize the alert functionality to stay informed about significant market movements, ensuring you never miss an opportunity.
🔥 In summary the "Super Fisher" is a comprehensive market analysis tool designed to enhance your trading insights and decision-making process. 📉🌟🚨
Enhanced Candle Sticks [AlgoAlpha]🚀🌟 Introducing the Enhanced Candle Sticks by AlgoAlpha, a Pine Script tool designed to provide traders with an enhanced view of market dynamics through candlestick analysis. This script aims to visualise if price has hit the high or low of the candle first, aiding in back-testing, and to identify smaller trends using market structure.📊🔍
Key Features:
Timeframe Flexibility: Users can select their desired timeframe for analysis, offering a range of options from M15 to H12. This flexibility allows for detailed and specific timeframe analysis.
Micro Trend Identification: The script includes an option to enable 'MicroTrends', giving traders insights into smaller movements and trends within the larger market context.

State Tracking: The script tracks the 'state' of the market on lower timeframes to detect if the high or the low was formed first.
Warning System: When the selected timeframe does not match the chart timeframe, the script generates a warning, ensuring accurate analysis and preventing potential misinterpretations.
Usages:
Enhanced Back-testing: Users can now get a more accurate interpretation of the candlesticks by know if the high or the low came first (denoted with ⩚ or ⩛), especially in scenarios where the high and the low of the larger timeframe candle is touching both the take-profit and stop-loss levels.
Squeeze Analysis: Users can identify squeezes in price when the microtrend shows both an uptrend and a downtrend, possibly giving more insight into the market.
Lower Timeframe Market Structure Analysis: Microtrends form when the low of the candle is consecutively increasing and the high is consecutively falling, which means on a lower timeframe, price is forming higher lows or lower highs.
Basic Logic Explanation:
- The script starts by setting up the necessary parameters and importing the required library. Users can customize the timeframe, colors, and whether to enable micro trends and candlestick plotting.
- It then calculates the lower timeframe (1/12th of the current timeframe) for more detailed analysis. The `minutes` function helps in converting the selected timeframe into minutes.
- The script tracks new bars and calculates the highest and lowest values within an hour, using `ta.highestSince` and `ta.lowestSince`.
- It determines the market 'state' by checking if the current high is breaking the previous high and if the current low is breaking the previous low on lower timeframes to determine if the high or the low was formed first.
- The script uses the `plotchar` and `plotcandle` functions to visually represent these trends and states on the chart. This visual representation is key for quick and effective analysis.

This innovative indicator offers a comprehensive view of market dynamics, blending volume trends with price action to provide an insightful perspective on market sentiment. 🚀📊
Key Features:
1. 🌟 Dual Trend Analysis: This indicator combines the concepts of price movement and volume, offering a multi-dimensional view of market sentiment. By analyzing the relationship between the closing and opening prices relative to volume, it provides a nuanced understanding of market dynamics.
2. 🎨 Customizable Settings: Flexibility is at the core of this indicator. Users can adjust various parameters such as the length of the volume trend, standard deviation, and SMA length, ensuring a tailored experience to match individual trading strategies.
3. 🌈 Visual Appeal: With options to display noise, the main plot, and background colors, the indicator is not only informative but also visually engaging. Users can choose their preferred colors for up and down movements, making the analysis more intuitive.
4. ⚠️ Alerts for Key Movements: Stay ahead of market changes with built-in alert conditions. These alerts notify traders when the Volume-Trend Sentiment crosses above or below the midline, signaling potential shifts in market momentum.
How It Works:
The core of the indicator is the calculation of the Volume-Trend Sentiment (VTS). It is computed by subtracting a double-smoothed Exponential Moving Average (EMA) of the price-volume ratio from a single EMA of the same ratio. This method highlights the trend in volume relative to price changes.
volumeTrend = ta.ema((close - open) / volume, volumeTrendLength) - ta.ema(ta.ema((close - open) / volume, volumeTrendLength), volumeTrendLength)
To manage volatility and noise in the volume trend, the indicator employs a standard deviation calculation and a Simple Moving Average (SMA). This smoothing process helps in identifying the true underlying trend by filtering out extreme fluctuations.
standardDeviation = ta.stdev(volumeTrend, standardDeviationLength) * 1
smoothedVolumeTrend = ta.sma(volumeTrend / (standardDeviation + standardDeviation), smaLength)
A unique feature is the dynamic background color, which changes based on the sentiment level. This visual cue instantly communicates the market's bullish or bearish sentiment, enhancing the decision-making process.
getColor(volumeTrendValue) =>
sentimentLevel = math.abs(volumeTrendValue * 10)
baseTransparency = 60 // Base transparency level
colorTransparency = math.max(90 - sentimentLevel * 5, baseTransparency)
volumeTrendValue > 0 ? color.new(upColor, colorTransparency) : color.new(downColor, colorTransparency)
bgcolor(showBackgroundColor ? getColor(smoothedVolumeTrend) : na)
In summary, the Volume-Trend Sentiment by AlgoAlpha is a comprehensive tool that enhances market analysis through a unique blend of volume and price trends.

Squeeze & Release [AlgoAlpha]Introduction:
💡The Squeeze & Release by AlgoAlpha is an innovative tool designed to capture price volatility dynamics using a combination of EMA-based calculations and ATR principles. This script aims to provide traders with clear visual cues to spot potential market squeezes and release scenarios. Hence it is important to note that this indicator shows information on volatility, not direction.
Core Logic and Components:
🔶EMA Calculations: The script utilizes the Exponential Moving Average (EMA) in multiple ways to smooth out the data and provide indicator direction. There are specific lengths for the EMAs that users can modify as per their preference.
🔶ATR Dynamics: Average True Range (ATR) is a core component of the script. The differential between the smoothed ATR and its EMA is used to plot the main line. This differential, when represented as a percentage of the high-low range, provides insights into volatility.
🔶Squeeze and Release Detection: The script identifies and highlights squeeze and release scenarios based on the crossover and cross-under events between our main line and its smoothed version. Squeezes are potential setups where the market may be consolidating, and releases indicate a potential breakout or breakdown.
🔶Hyper Squeeze Detection: A unique feature that detects instances when the main line is rising consistently over a user-defined period. Hyper squeeze marks areas of extremely low volatility.
Visual Components:
The main line (ATR-based) changes color depending on its position relative to its EMA.
A middle line plotted at zero level which provides a quick visual cue about the main line's position. If the main line is above the zero level, it indicates that the price is squeezing on a longer time horizon, even if the indicator indicates a shorter-term release.
"𝓢" and "𝓡" characters are plotted to represent 'Squeeze' and 'Release' scenarios respectively.
Standard Deviation Bands are plotted to help users gauge the extremity and significance of the signal from the indicator, if the indicator is closer to either the upper or lower deviation bands, this means that statistically, the current value is considered to be more extreme and as it is further away from the mean where the indicator is oscillating at for the majority of the time. Thus indicating that the price has experienced an unusual amount or squeeze or release depending on the value of the indicator.
Usage Guidelines:
☝️Traders can use the script to:
Identify potential consolidation (squeeze) zones.
Gauge potential breakout or breakdown scenarios (release).
Fine-tune their entries and exits based on volatility.
Adjust the various lengths provided in the input for better customization based on individual trading styles and the asset being traded.
Bitcoin/Hash Rate Oscillator & MAWhat it does:
Finds the ratio of BTC price to the Hash Rate with an additional MA applied to find changes in volatility with relative context. Best used as a two lines cross indicator.
When the ratio of price to hashrate increases, it may be a sign miners cannot or will not sell as much.
When the ratio decreases, it may indicate miners have more capability and/or incentive to sell.
How it works:
The indicator uses a MA applied to the hashrate(first MA input), then finds the difference between it and the actual hash rate. Then it finds the STD of that to create an oscillating value. BTC is divided by said value. Then a second MA is applied to that ratio(second MA input)

Advanced Market Opening Gap DetectorThe Advanced Market Opening Gap Detector (AMOGD) is a Pine Script indicator designed to help you identify market gaps at the opening of a new trading day. Gaps are areas on a chart where the price of a security moves sharply up or down with little or no trading in between. They are significant as they may indicate a change in market sentiment. This indicator highlights the size and direction of the opening gap, allowing you to potentially adjust your strategies accordingly.
By setting a minimum gap size, you can filter out smaller, less significant gaps, focusing only on larger gaps which may have more substantial implications. You can define the minimum gap size in points or pips, providing flexibility based on your trading preferences and the asset being traded.
How-to Use:
Apply the AMOGD indicator to your TradingView chart.
Configure the minimum gap size and unit (points or pips) based on your preference using the settings panel.
At the opening of each new trading day, the indicator will check for a gap between the previous close and the opening price.
If a valid gap is detected (i.e., the gap size meets or exceeds the minimum gap size specified), the indicator will:
Draw lines to indicate the opening price and previous close.
Display a label indicating the size of the gap.
Highlight the gap on the chart for better visibility.
Importance:
Market gaps can be pivotal points indicating a possible new trend or a continuation of the current trend. Being able to identify and analyze these gaps is crucial for making informed trading decisions. The AMOGD indicator automates the process of identifying and visualizing opening market gaps, saving traders time and allowing for quick assessment of market conditions at the start of each trading day. By setting a minimum gap size, traders can also filter out less significant price movements, allowing them to focus on potentially trend-changing gaps. This tool can be a valuable addition to a trader's toolkit, aiding in the analysis and interpretation of market behavior at the open, which is often a very volatile and crucial period in the trading day.

[Pivots Consolidation Breakout Screener] with Alerts (TSO) This is a pivots consolidation screener indicator, with ability to choose up to 12 different symbols/instruments with alert to be notified when consolidation happens on either one with the new pivots formation (new R3(inner resistance) pivot formed below previous one and new S3(inner support) pivot formed above previous one). Once the alert on a certain symbol/instrument is received - there is an ability to set a Breakout alert for the consolidated symbol/instrument.
This is a very powerful strategy, which doesn't happen often, but when happens - it often causes big moves after a breakout!
NOTE: Every calculation is done on a confirmed closed candle bar state, so the indicator will never repaint!
===========================================================================
Explanation of all the Features/Inputs/Settings
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
>>> On the very top, please read the important NOTES/TIPs.
>>> Next section is where the desired symbols can be turned on/checked to be screened for consolidation - the selected/checked symbols at creation of a 'Any alert() function call' alert will alert on any of the selected/checked symbols. Also, once consolidation forms, until next pivots formation - it will show it on the "Consolidation Stats" table. Once alerted on a specific symbol for consolidation - manual alert - 'Consolidation BREAKOUT' - can be created (MUST be done on the actual symbol chart, Right-Click > Add Alert) to be notified when actual breakout takes place.
>>> Pivots Settings section is where a manual timeframe/length can be set for the pivots as by Default it uses "Daily" timeframe. So, if want to experiment with more signals, but less accurate - a smaller timeframe can be set for Pivots Timeframe with smaller chart timeframe.
>>> Final section is simply the "Consolidation Stats" table location.
===========================================================================

Machine Learning: Trend Pulse⚠️❗ Important Limitations: Due to the way this script is designed, it operates specifically under certain conditions:
Stocks & Forex : Only compatible with timeframes of 8 hours and above ⏰
Crypto : Only works with timeframes starting from 4 hours and higher ⏰
❗Please note that the script will not work on lower timeframes.❗
Feature Extraction : It begins by identifying a window of past price changes. Think of this as capturing the "mood" of the market over a certain period.
Distance Calculation : For each historical data point, it computes a distance to the current window. This distance measures how similar past and present market conditions are. The smaller the distance, the more similar they are.
Neighbor Selection : From these, it selects 'k' closest neighbors. The variable 'k' is a user-defined parameter indicating how many of the closest historical points to consider.
Price Estimation : It then takes the average price of these 'k' neighbors to generate a forecast for the next stock price.
Z-Score Scaling: Lastly, this forecast is normalized using the Z-score to make it more robust and comparable over time.
Inputs:
histCap (Historical Cap) : histCap limits the number of past bars the script will consider. Think of it as setting the "memory" of model—how far back in time it should look.
sampleSpeed (Sampling Rate) : sampleSpeed is like a time-saving shortcut, allowing the script to skip bars and only sample data points at certain intervals. This makes the process faster but could potentially miss some nuances in the data.
winSpan (Window Size) : This is the size of the "snapshot" of market data the script will look at each time. The window size sets how many bars the algorithm will include when it's measuring how "similar" the current market conditions are to past conditions.
All these variables help to simplify and streamline the k-NN model, making it workable within limitations. You could see them as tuning knobs, letting you balance between computational efficiency and predictive accuracy.

This feature allows to analyze the same market data on multiple time frames, which can be in help to identify trends and patterns that would not be visible on a single time frame. When using the multi-timeframe feature, it is important to start with the higher time frame and then look for confirmation on the lower time frames. This will help you to avoid false signals. Please note that only timeframes higher than the chart timeframe is supported currently with this feature enabled. Might get updated in the future.
👉 Deviation bands to spot unusual volatility:
Deviation bands are plotted around the Signal line that can be in help to identify periods of unusual volatility. When the MACD line crosses outside of the deviation bands, it suggests that the market is becoming more volatile and a strong trend may form in that direction.
👉 9 Moving Average types can be used in the script. Each type of moving average offers a unique perspective and can be used in different scenarios to identify market trends.
SMA (Simple Moving Average): This calculates the average of a selected range of values, by the number of periods in that range.
SMMA (Smoothed Moving Average): This takes into account all data available and assigns equal weighting to the values.
EMA (Exponential Moving Average): This places a greater weight and significance on the most recent data points.
DEMA (Double Exponential Moving Average): This is a faster-moving average that uses a proprietary calculation to reduce the lag in data points.
TEMA (Triple Exponential Moving Average): This is even quicker than the DEMA, helping traders respond more quickly to changes in trend.
LSMA (Least Squares Moving Average): This moving average applies least squares regression method to determine the future direction of the trend.
HMA (Hull Moving Average): This moving average is designed to reduce lag and improve smoothness, providing quicker signals for short-term market movements.
VWMA (Volume Weighted Moving Average): This assigns more weight to candles with a high volume, reflecting the true average values more accurately in high volume periods.
WMA (Weighted Moving Average): This assigns more weight to the latest data, but not as much as the EMA.
👉 Conditional coloring :
This feature colors the MACD line line based on it's direction and fills the area between the MACD line and Deviation band edges to highlight the potential volatility and the strength of the momentum. This can be useful to identify when the market is trending strongly and when it is in a more neutral or choppy state.
👉 MACD Line - Signal Line crossings:
This is a classic MACD trading signal that occurs when the MACD line crosses above or below the signal line. Crossovers can be used to identify potential trend reversals. This can be a bullish or bearish signal, depending on the direction of the crossover.
👉 General advice
Confirming Signals with other indicators:
As with all technical indicators, it is important to confirm potential signals with other analytical tools, such as support and resistance levels, as well as indicators like RSI, MACD, and volume. This helps increase the probability of a successful trade.
Use proper risk management:
When using this or any other indicator, it is crucial to have proper risk management in place. Consider implementing stop-loss levels and thoughtful position sizing.
Combining with other technical indicators:
The indicator can be effectively used alongside other technical indicators to create a comprehensive trading strategy and provide additional confirmation.
Keep in Mind:
Thorough research and backtesting are essential before making any trading decisions. Furthermore, it's crucial to have a solid understanding of the indicator and its behavior. Additionally, incorporating fundamental analysis and considering market sentiment can be vital factors to take into account in your trading approach.
Limitations:
This is a lagging indicator. Please note that the indicator is using moving averages, which are lagging indicators.

Trig-Log Scaled Momentum OscillatorTaylor Series Approximations for Trigonometry:
1. The indicator starts by calculating sine and cosine values of the close price using Taylor Series approximations. These approximations use polynomial terms to estimate the values of these trigonometric functions.
Mathematical Component Formation:
2. The calculated sine and cosine values are then multiplied together. This gives us the primary mathematical component, termed as the 'trigComponent'.
Smoothing Process:
3. To ensure that our indicator is less susceptible to market noise and more reactive to genuine price movements, this 'trigComponent' undergoes a smoothing process using a simple moving average (SMA). The length of this SMA is defined by the user.
Logarithmic Transformation:
4. With our smoothed value, we apply a natural logarithm approximation. Again, this approximation is based on the Taylor expansion. This step ensures that all resultant values are positive and offers a different scale to interpret the smoothed component.
Dynamic Scaling:
5. To make our indicator more readable and comparable over different periods, the logarithmically transformed values are scaled between a range. This range is determined by the highest and lowest values of the transformed component over the user-defined 'lookback' period.
ROC (Rate of Change) Direction:
6. The direction of change in our scaled value is determined. This offers a quick insight into whether our mathematical component is increasing or decreasing compared to the previous value.
Visualization:
7. Finally, the indicator plots the dynamically scaled and smoothed mathematical component on the chart. The color of the plotted line depends on its direction (increasing or decreasing) and its boundary values.
TrapZone ProThis script combines the concepts of Price Action, Trend and Momentum to identify Price Zones (Red and Green filled areas) and Price Bars (Red, Green and Gray) where traders can get trapped in the Market.
It will clearly mark the bars which favor the prevailing Trend and those bars which just don't have the momentum anymore. TrapZone moves with the market trend and will often provide it support. As the TrapZone changes direction & its color, traders can change their trade bias.
Features:
Identify strong & weak price action - By leveraging a regression calculation of price movement on Y axis against the x axis, we identify the strength of current bars. Increasing relative strength of bars indicate Bullish (Green Bars) & Bearish (Red Bars) price movement, respectively. As the relative strength starts to decrease in Bullish or Bearish price action, the indicator immediately changes the color of these bars to Gray (by default). We call these TrapBars .
Current price trend - By using the highs and lows of price in multiple periods, we are calculating the trend of the price. The Bullish trend is shown by the Green zone and Bearish trend is shown by the Red zone. These zones are the shaded areas which are plotted on the chart. If the price is in these Zones, Longs or Short trades are not advised as that price action is weak. We call these TrapZones .
Strength of the Momentum - the thickness of the TrapZone shows the strength of the current Bullish or Bearish trend. That means the wider the shaded area grows the stronger is the current market momentum. A Flat TrapZone indicates sideways price action.
Knowing when NOT to Trade is as important as when to Trade. While this indicator is designed to avoid taking bad trades such as FOMO, Catching a Falling Knife or Fighting The Trend , it successfully reveals the good trade setups!
How these features of this indicator helps Traders avoids common mistakes:
FOMO or Fear of Missing Out - If a Trader Sees TrapBars in a Bullish or Bearish Trend, they will avoid entry as the price action is weak at that time. This will avoid late entries.
Catching a Falling Knife (a.k.a. Picking a Bottom) - When Red TrapZone is being plotted, Traders can avoid taking Long Entries hoping for a price reversal.
Fighting The Trend (a.k.a Picking a Top) - When Green TrapZone is being plotted, Traders can avoid taking Short entries hoping for a price reversal.
TrapZone Pro does all this in a single panel of the chart irrespective of the market or timeframe.
How to use TrapZone Pro indicator for trading [
A. Market Analysis
Green TrapZone is Bullish and traders should not take Shorts. If Green TrapZone is moving higher, Market is Strong
Red TrapZone is Bearish and traders should not take Longs. If Red TrapZone is moving Lower, Market is Strong
No trades when TrapBars are forming
No trades inside the TrapZone
B. Trade Guidance System
Establish Market Bias - Bullish or Bearish using the TrapZone Color
Only Enter Long in Long Color Bars i.e. Green by default
Only Enter Short in Short Color Bars i.e. Red by default
3 Classes of Trades are Possible Class A, B & C. A being the best Reward : Risk ratio and C being the least rewarding. So use trade size accordingly.
Class A - Best bars are always the first & Second, close to the TrapZone
Class B - Long Bar or Short Bar Forming after TrapBar away from the TrapZone in a Strong Market
Class C - Long Bar or Short Bar Forming after TrapBar close to the TrapZone in a Flat Market (identified by Flat TrapZone )
Take profits when Price moves away from the TrapZone & TrapBars start forming OR Your Target is hit !
