Broken Fractal : Someone's broken dream is your profit!Idea
The idea is simple : when market turns around, it traps a bunch of traders off guard. We trade with them, in the same direction of their exit!
Method
We let the market first create a fractal
We then let the market create an opposite fractal
We then let the market break the first fractal it created, thereby trapping lots of trades in the process
We then patiently wait till the market gives these trapped traders a chance to exit - and we trade in the same direction
How to use?
Green boxes are for long entry, red boxes are for short.
Whenever a box appears, that's the risk criteria - setup limit orders and trade along!
Works on all timeframes
If you like this script, please leave a note on how you are using it.
I personally use it with Higher Timeframe bias.
PS1 : some traders call this Break of market structure, some call it Breaker, I just call it "Broken Fractal"
PS2 : Break of a broken fractal is also very potent. Watch out for those!
Analisis Candlestick
Trading Rule #19This script is based on Trading Rule #19 from Chester Keltner's book How To Make Money On Commodities. It is best applied to candlestick charts with longer time frames and plans with minimal losses (i.e. swing trades). The rule is based on "Key" trend days (this is applied to daily charts in the book).
An initial Key-Up day is established on the third day of 3 consecutive new highs. Subsequent key-up days are determined as follows:
1. The first day following an initial key-up day trades 0.375% above the previous key-up day
2. The second day or any following day trades 0.125% above the previous key-up day
An initial Key-Down day is established on the third day of 3 consecutive new lows. Subsequent key-down days are determined as follows:
1. The first day following an initial key-up day trades 0.375% below the previous key-down day
2. The second day or any following day trades 0.125% below the previous key-down day
Green candles are considered up-trend, red candles are down-trend. Gray candles are undecided - when there is a new high and low in the same time frame, when there is no new high or low in that time frame, or the order price was cleared.
Order prices are represented as a blue line, with some days being "na" when order prices remain unchanged. On key-up days, orders are placed 0.375% below the low of the previous key-up day or the day previous (whichever is lower). Order prices on key-down days are placed 0.375% above the high of the previous key-down day or the day previous (whichever is higher).
The tolerance setting mainly effects the plot point of order price, at a certain point key-trend rules will take priority over order price (meaning if tolerance is high enough, order price will have no effect on determining key-trends).
HammersPlots an arrow above a hammer candle or candle with big lower wick. Yellow signifies a candle with higher than average volume. Blue is a lower than average volume candle. Hammers/Lower Wick candles are best after a drop in price or near bottoms.
Weekly Options Expiry CandleThis script shows weekly expiry candle on daily chart. In weekly expiry, week starts on Friday and end on next Thursday.
How the candle is constructed:
Open= Open price of Friday, if Friday is a holiday, next available open price
High= Highest high price of Friday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday
Low= Lowest low price of Friday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday
Close=Close price of Thursday, if Thursday is a holiday, previously available close price
I am very new to Pine script, so waiting for your comments and review.
Bull and Bear Marubozus Candlestick PatternMarubozus are an interesting candle pattern wherein the close and open of the candle are also the high / low points of the candle. In other words, a candle with no shadows or wicks.
How reliable are they, though? Probably not very reliable on their own. It may also depend on the size of the candle. You would probably want to incorporate this candle pattern with other filters, like RSI, MACD, to filter trade opportunities.
No gaps candlesThis indicator repaints the candles so that every candle's open price is the previous candle's close price. This helps visualize stocks and ETFs that have big gaps, usually between trading days.
You should hide visibility of the ticker for this to be displayed properly.
Three (3)-Bar and Four (4)-Bar Plays StrategyThis strategy analyzes the three and four-bar play which is when price action has a wide igniting bar that has a full body, then one or two narrow bars which have a relatively equal high for long plays and relatively equal low for short plays, then a continuation bar. You should not take plays that will encounter resistance. The stop loss is placed for long plays below the 2nd bar (or 3rd bar for 4-bar play).
This is commonly used on 1m, 2m, 5m, and 10m charts.
Jared Wesley is one of the more notable traders that use this setup. You can edit as an input the start date, end date, igniting bar size, the body percentage of the igniting bar, the relative equality of the 2nd bar (and 3rd bar for 4-bar play) compared to the igniting bar, and profit multiplier.
Three (3)-Bar and Four (4)-Bar PlaysThis indicator shows the three and four-bar play which is when price action has a wide igniting bar that has a full body, then one or two narrow bars which have a relatively equal high for long plays and relatively equal low for short plays, then a continuation bar. You should not take plays that will encounter resistance.
Jared Wesley is one of the more notable traders that use this setup. There will be a label placed on the chart when a play occurs. You can edit as an input the igniting bar size, the body percentage of the igniting bar, and the relative equality of the 2nd (and 3rd bar for 4 bar play) compared to the igniting bar.
ATH FinderFind the all time high (ATH) and plot a horizontal line extended from the ATH out to the right. Script also produces a label near the current candle indicating location and value of the ATH. If the ATH is higher than the current candle's high the label will be red and pointing up to indicate the ATH is above the current candle. If that current candle's high is the ATH, the label is green and pointing at the current candle's high.
Sweep TrackerThe script marks the bullish and bearish sweeps. You can change the number of lines drawn by modifying the value of max_lines_count in the first line of the code. Limiting feature will be available from menu in the next update.
BTST Risk & Reward- BTST stands for Buy Today Sell Tomorrow which is trading is done on high momentum stock and selling is done on next day.
- Max Entry is one bid below intraday highest price
- TP is 2.5% above Max Entry and CL is one bid below 2.5% from Max Entry
Inside Bar Strategy w/ SL"Inside bars are a two -bar pattern. They can indicate either a continuation of the
existing move or a reversal. A continuation occurs when there is no significant
support or resistance level in sight, while a reversal occurs close to a strong sup-
port or resistance level...
...A lot of traders are aware of inside bars but few manage to make money with
them. Why is this so? It goes back to interpreting price action. A lot of traders look
to trade in geometric ways. What I mean is that they search for fancy shapes on a
chart and think that this is what represents true price action.
This is not the case. A shape is just a shape. The formation by itself means
nothing unless underlying order flow backs it up. This is why it’s extremely
important that you look for inside bars when a trend is already in place.
The best place to look for them is in the beginning of trends."
Candle CurtainWHAT
This indicator hides the colour of the currently printing candle to avoid poor decisions being made.
WHY
Many trading strategies rely upon assessing the state of closed candles. Making trading decisions based on the currently printing candle's state can lead to poor trading outcomes (emotional decisions, FOMO, lack of restraint, etc) as it can be bullish one moment and bearish the next. This indicator acts to remind the trader to disregard the currently printing candle and wait for it to close.

FTB Strategy (Automated)Hey traders!
This is a profitable strategy script I created to teach my students how to automate their scripts using 3rd party APIs (more info available in my profile link at the bottom of this page).
What Is This?
This strategy is called the "Follow The Bear" strategy.
It's a forex trading strategy designed for one purpose and one purpose only: to take advantage of a recurring pattern on EURUSD's 1-Hour chart during the European market open.
The basic explanation is this:
During the European open we want to see a rally followed by a swing high shooting star / reversal pinbar candle. This typically means that traders buying EURUSD during the European/London open are now trapped long, and as price begins to retrace they are forced to sell, fueling a short-term retracement.
This strategy takes advantage of that pattern by aggressively selling short with a tight stop-loss above the pinbar candle and a conservative target.
There are many ways to trade this pattern, but this script represents my personal method for trading it.
It is not 100% accurate (no strategy is), but it does have a considerably high win rate over the past 6+ years considering its simplicity and I've been trading it for several months and can attest to its edge over the markets (at least through the Oanda data feed which is what I use).
The strategy rules are this:
Market: EURUSD
Timeframe: 1-Hour
Direction: Short Only
Timezone: 6AM-10AM GMT
Days: Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday
Entry: Close of Pinbar Setup
Stop: 2 pips above signal candle
Target: 1:1
Risk: Up to you (backtest first! I use 1%)
The rule for the pinbar/shooting star candle pattern is that the candle must both open and close in the lower 50% of the bar's total size.
Automation
This script is already prepared to be auto-traded through a 3rd-party API that was created to relay TradingView alerts to your broker to execute and manage trades.
Sorry for the lack of information - due to TradingView's house rules I cannot go into any more detail here, but if you're interested in automating this script there is more info available in the resources offered under my profile link at the bottom of this page.

Trading foreign currencies can be a challenging and potentially profitable opportunity for investors. However, before deciding to participate in the forex market, you should carefully consider your investment objectives, level of experience, and risk appetite. Most importantly, do not invest money you cannot afford to lose.
There is considerable exposure to risk in any foreign exchange transaction. Any transaction involving currencies involves risks including, but not limited to, the potential for changing political and/or economic conditions that may substantially affect the price or liquidity of a currency, investments in foreign exchange speculation may also be susceptible to sharp rises and falls as the relevant market values fluctuate.
The leveraged nature of forex trading means that any market movement will have an equally proportional effect on your deposited funds. This may work against you as well as for you. Not only may investors get back less than they invested, but in the case of higher risk strategies, investors may lose the entirety of their investment. It is for this reason that when speculating in such markets it is advisable to use only risk capital.
Trading foreign exchange on margin carries a high level of risk, and may not be suitable for all investors. Past performance is not indicative of future results. The possibility exists that you could sustain a loss of some or all of your initial investment and therefore you should not invest money that you cannot afford to lose. You should be aware of all the risks associated with foreign exchange trading, and seek advice from an independent financial advisor if you have any doubts.
Consecutive Up/Down Strategy with Reverse and SLExtension of the built-in strategy by TradingView. The strategy buys after an X amount of
consecutive bullish bars and viceversa for selling. This logic can be reversed and a Stop Loss
with Take Profit can be added. There's also an option to adapt the SL into a Trailing Stop.
Unfilled Gap DetectorThis indicator displays gaps on a chart within a specified range which have not been filled. It offers the ability to set the minimum gap size to detect as a multiple of the average true range (ATR), as well as the allowed distance from a gap fill for the gap to be considered filled. The use of ATR allows the gap threshold to dynamically change as the stock price and volatility change over time. Lastly, it offers the ability to show gaps which have been filled in addition to unfilled gaps.
The following describes each input's effect on the indicator.
Bars to Search Back: specifies how many bars back in the chart to search for gaps and gap fills (maximum 5000).
ATR Length: specifies the length of the ATR() function used for thresholding
Minimum ATR Multiple For Gap Detection: The minimum gap size as a multiple of the ATR
Minimum ATR Multiple For Gap Fill: The minimum distance between a bar high/low and a gap for it to be considered "filled" as a multiple of ATR
Positive Bars % StrategyBased on the calculations by ZenAndTheArtOfTrading. I added stop loss, take profit and reverse code lines.
The Positive Bars % calculates the number of green (positive) bars, relative to a look back period, defined
by the user. If the percentage is low, it means that there was a bigger number of red candles in the
lookback period. The strategy goes long when the percentage is high and short when it's low.
This logic can be reversed with positive results on different time frames.
DAYOFWEEK performance1 -Objective
"What is the ''best'' day to trade .. Monday, Tuesday...."
This script aims to determine if there are different results depending on the day of the week.
The way it works is by dividing data by day of the week (Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday ... ) and perform calculations for each day of the week.

AVG OPEN-CLOSE
Calculate de Percentage change from day open to close
Green % (O-C)
Percentage of days green (open to close)
Average Change
Absolute day change (O-C)
AVG PrevD. Close-Close
Percentage change from the previous day close to the day of the week close
(Example: Monday (C-C) = Friday Close to Monday close
Tuesday (C-C) = Monday C. to Tuesday C.
Green % (C1-C)
Percentage of days green (open to close)
AVG Volume
Day of the week Average Volume
Notes:
*Mon(Nº) - Nº = Number days is currently calculated
Example: Monday (12) calculation based on the last 12 Mondays. Note: Discrepancies in numbers example Monday (12) - Friday (11) depend on the initial/end date or the market was closed (Holidays).
3 - How to use (Examples)
For the following example, NASDAQ:AAPL from 1 Jan 21 to 1 Jul 21 the results are following.
The highest probability of a Close being higher than the Open is Monday with 52.17 % and the Lowest Tuesday with 38.46 %. Meaning that there's a higher chance (for NASDAQ:AAPL ) of closing at a higher value on Monday while the highest chance of closing is lower is Tuesday. With an average gain on Tuesday of 0.21%
Long - The best day to buy (long) at open (on average) is Monday with a 52.2% probability of closing higher
Short - The best day to sell (short) at open (on average) is Tuesday with a 38.5% probability of closing higher (better chance of closing lower)
Since the values change from ticker to ticker, there is a substantial change in the percentages and days of the week. For example let's compare the previous example ( NASDAQ:AAPL ) to NYSE:GM (same settings)
For the same period, there is a substantial difference where there is a 62.5% probability Friday to close higher than the open, while Tuesday there is only a 28% probability.
With an average gain of 0.59% on Friday and an average loss of -0.34%
Also, the size of the table (number of days ) depends if the ticker is traded or not on that day as an example COINBASE:BTCUSD
4 - Inputs
DATE RANGE
Initial Date - Date from which the script will start the calculation.
End Date - Date to which the script will calculate.
TABLE SETTINGS
Text Color - Color of the displayed text
Cell Color - Background color of table cells
Header Color - Color of the column and row names
Table Location - Change the position where the table is located.
Table Size - Changes text size and by consequence the size of the table
5 - LIMITATIONS
The code determines average values based on the stored data, therefore, the range (Initial data) is limited to the first bar time.
As a consequence the lower the timeframe the shorter the initial date can be and fewer weeks can be calculated. To warn about this limitation there's a warning text that appears in case the initial date exceeds the bar limit.
Example with initial date 1 Jan 2021 and end date 18 Jul 2021 in 5m and 10 m timeframe:
6 - Notes and Disclosers
The script can be moved around to a new pane if need. -> Object Tree > Right Click Script > Move To > New pane
The code has not been tested in higher subscriptions tiers that allow for more bars and as a consequence more data, but as far I can tell, it should work without problems and should be in fact better at lower timeframes since it allows more weeks.
The values displayed represent previous data and at no point is guaranteed future values
7 - Final Tooughs
This script was quite fun to work on since it analysis behavioral patterns (since from an abstract point a Tuesday is no different than a Thursday), but after analyzing multiple tickers there are some days that tend to close higher than the open.
PS: If you find any mistake ex: code/misspelling please comment.
2nd Grade StrategyThis is a strategy to complement the 2GT indicator. It utilises the same rules as 2GT.
This is comprises of multiple popularly used indicators to help decide on whether to go long or short. This indicator will overlay the MA lines and background colours on your chart.
The heikin-ashi colour will be shown as the background colour. This will help you identify a trend more easily while using bars, candles, hollow candles, etc. When the background is green, it means that it is a green HA and vice versa.
The blue MA line is for showing the short-term trend. The red MA line is for showing the medium-term trend. You can select the moving average flavour of your choice in the settings.
The yellow MA line is the long-term trend that is mainly used as a filter to indicate bullish/bearish trend. The MA type for this filter can be different from the short/mid term MA.
This indicator will also show Stochastic crossovers (GC, DC, BC) on the chart. This will help to always keep your eye on the chart candles.
In the settings, you can also turn on/off bullish/bearish signals.
Rules for bullish signals on this indicator:-
1. MA: Blue > Red > Yellow (FastMA > SlowMA > FilterMA)
2. Stochastic: K > D and both are heading upwards
3. 2nd Green HA
When 2 out of the 3 rules are met, the candle background will be Aqua in colour. When all 3 rules are met, the candle background will be Green .
Rules for bearish signals on this indicator:-
1. MA: Yellow > Red > Blue (FilterMA > SlowMA > FastMA)
2. Stochastic: D > K and both are heading downwards
3. 2nd Red HA
When 2 out of the 3 rules are met, the candle background will be Orange in colour. When all 3 rules are met, the candle background will be Red .
Do note that you can hide any of these elements in via the settings.

Big Bar Strategy// This strategy detects and uses big bars to enter a position. When the Big Bar
// is bearish (red candle) the position will be long and viceversa
// for short positions. The stop loss (optional) is placed on the low of the
// candle used to trigger the position and user inputs allow you to modify the
// size of the SL. Take profit is placed on a reward ratio of 1. User can also modify
// the size of the bar body used to determine if we have a real Big Bar and
// filter out Doji bars. Big Bars are determined relative to the previous X period size,
// which can also be modified, as well as the required size of the Big Bar relative to this period average.
Narrow Range (NR) IndicatorNarrow Range (NR) trading strategy is a breakout-based method that assumes that the price of security trends up or down after a brief consolidation in a narrow range. This indicator can plot:
1. Narrow Range (NR) 4, 7, and 21
2. Narrow Range (NR) 4, 7, and 21 + Inside Bars (IB)
NR 4/NR 7/NR 21 day acts as a confirming factor on where the price will move further. Breakout of NR 4/NR 7/NR 21 candle with high volumes indicates bullishness, while the breakdown candle indicates bearishness.
