Engulfing BoxThe Engulfing Box indicator is a custom script designed to visually highlight and track bullish and bearish engulfing candlestick patterns on a price chart. These patterns are often used to identify potential reversal points, making them valuable for technical analysis. The script dynamically draws colored boxes around these patterns, helping users easily spot them in the price action.
Key Features:
Bullish Engulfing Pattern: When a candlestick fully engulfs the previous bearish candle (i.e., the close of the current candle is higher than the open of the previous candle, and the open is lower than the close of the previous candle), the script draws a green box around the bullish engulfing candle. This box is drawn from the open of the previous candle to the low of the previous candle.
Bearish Engulfing Pattern: When a candlestick fully engulfs the previous bullish candle (i.e., the close of the current candle is lower than the open of the previous candle, and the open is higher than the close of the previous candle), a red box is drawn around the bearish engulfing candle. This box is drawn from the open of the previous candle to the high of the previous candle.
Dynamic Box Management: Once an engulfing pattern is detected, a box is drawn with the following attributes:
Bullish Engulfing Box: Green, with a transparent background.
Bearish Engulfing Box: Red, with a transparent background.
The box will adjust its color to gray if the price moves past certain thresholds, indicating that the engulfing pattern may no longer be as relevant.
Max Pattern Tracking: The script limits the number of engulfing boxes tracked on the chart to prevent clutter. The maximum number of bullish and bearish engulfing patterns shown is customizable (set to 500 by default), and once this limit is exceeded, older boxes are deleted to maintain a clean chart.
Pattern Expiry: Boxes are deleted if price action moves beyond the pattern’s range, ensuring that outdated signals are removed. If the low price falls below the bottom of the bullish engulfing box, or the high price rises above the top of the bearish engulfing box, the respective box is removed. Additionally, if the low price moves below the top of the bullish box or the high price exceeds the bottom of the bearish box, the box's color is changed to a more neutral tone.
How it Works:
Pattern Detection: The script compares the current price data with the previous candlestick to detect the bullish or bearish engulfing patterns.
Box Creation: If a pattern is detected, a colored box is drawn around the candle to visually highlight the pattern.
Pattern Expiry and Cleanup: The script continuously monitors past boxes. If the price moves too far from the box’s range, the box is either deleted or altered to reflect the reduced significance of the pattern.
B ox Count Limit: To avoid clutter, the script ensures that no more than 500 bullish or bearish engulfing boxes are shown at any time.
Customization:
The number of previous bars to scan for engulfing patterns can be adjusted (maxBarsback).
The maximum number of patterns displayed at any time can be modified.
Candlestick analysis
No-Gap-CandlesCandle indicator that makes the chart more readable by removing overnight gaps by using the closing price of the previous day as the opening price of the current day.
First 5 Minutes Open/Close LinesThis very simple indicator paints lines at the high and low of the first 5m candle of the session. It is primarily intended for big cap NYSE traded stocks with high volume. I wrote this indicator to save me the trouble of manually drawing the lines each day.
The lines drawn at the 5m high/low will remain constant regardless of which timeframe you switch to. In the example screenshot, we are looking at the 1m timeframe. This helps us switch effortlessly between different timeframes to see if a given price movement meets our entry criteria.
In addition to drawing lines at the first 5m high/low, it will optionally paint two zones, one each around the high and low. The boundaries of this zone are configurable and expressed as a percentage of the total movement of the first 5m bar. By default, it is set to 25%.
This indicator is based on the concept that the first 5m bar always has massive volume which helps us infer that price may react around the extremes of that movement. The basic strategy works something like this:
- You identify the high timeframe (HTF) trend direction of the stock
- You wait for the first 5m candle of the session to close
- You wait for price to puncture through the outer boundary of the zone marked by the indicator.
- You enter when price retraces to the high, or low, which marks the midpoint of the punctured zone.
- Only enter long on stocks in a HTF uptrend, and short on stocks in an HTF downtrend.
- Use market structure to identify stop loss and take profit targets
Note: Use at your own risk. This indicator and the strategy described herein are not in any way financial advice, nor does the author of this script make any claims about the effectiveness of this strategy, which may depend highly on the discretion and skill of the trader executing it, among many other factors outside of the author's control.

You should expect to lose money if using this indicator.
Aso Line v2This indicator generates buy and sell signals by analyzing volume and horizontal lines. Red and green zones are displayed on the chart.
・Red zone: indicates a short (sell) signal. When the price reaches this zone, consider a short position.
・Green zone: indicates a long (buy) signal. When the price reaches this zone, consider a long position.
This indicator uses a proprietary algorithm to analyze volume and horizontal lines to identify the best zones for trading. Specifically, we will explain and .
In addition, configuration options for using this indicator effectively will be explained. For example, there are parameters to adjust the width of the zone, the volume calculation period, and the type of horizontal line used. By adjusting these parameters, you can adapt to different market conditions and trading styles.
- The way this indicator works is to look for fractal highs or fractal lows on volume above a moving average of volume. This moving average can be changed in the settings for each time frame.
- Fractal highs are identified by three consecutive highs followed by two consecutive lows, and vice versa for fractal lows.
- A zone is created from the fractal high/low and the closing candlestick price for the selected time frame. The larger the zone, the more important it is.
- You can disable zones, change zones to show only lines, or change the color, transparency, and thickness of lines in all zones.
Globex time (New York Time)This indicator is designed to highlight and analyze price movements within the Globex session. Primarily geared toward the Globex Trap trading strategy, this tool visually identifies the session's high and low prices, allowing traders to better assess price action during extended hours. Here’s a comprehensive breakdown of its features and functionality:
Purpose
The "Globex Time (New York Time)" indicator tracks price levels during the Globex trading session, providing a clear view of overnight market activity. This session, typically running from 6 p.m. ET (18:00) until the following morning at 8:30 a.m. ET, is a critical period where significant market positioning can occur before the regular session opens. In the Globex Trap strategy, the session high and low are essential levels, as price movements around these areas often indicate potential support, resistance, or reversal zones, which traders use to set up entries or exits when the regular trading session begins.
Key Features
Customizable Session Start and End Times
The indicator allows users to specify the exact start and end times of the Globex session in New York time. The default settings are:
Start: 6 p.m. ET (18:00)
End: 8:30 a.m. ET
These settings can be adjusted to align with specific market hours or personal preferences.
Session High and Low Identification
Throughout the defined session, the indicator dynamically calculates and tracks:
Session High: The highest price reached within the session.
Session Low: The lowest price reached within the session.
These levels are essential for the Globex Trap strategy, as price action around them can indicate likely breakout or reversal points when regular trading resumes.
Vertical Lines for Session Start and End
The indicator draws vertical lines at both the session start and end times:
Session Start Line: A solid line marking the exact beginning of the Globex session.
Session End Line: A similar vertical line marking the session’s conclusion.
Both lines are customizable in terms of color and thickness, making it easy to distinguish the session boundaries visually on the chart.
Horizontal Lines for Session High and Low
At the end of the session, the indicator plots horizontal lines representing the Globex session's high and low levels. Users can customize these lines:
Color: Define specific colors for the session high (default: red) and session low (default: green) to easily differentiate them.
Line Style: Options to set the line style (solid, dashed, or dotted) provide flexibility for visual preferences and chart organization.
Automatic Reset for Daily Tracking
To adapt to the next trading day, the indicator resets the session high and low data once the current session ends. This reset prepares it to start tracking new levels at the beginning of the next session without manual intervention.
Practical Application in the Globex Trap Strategy
In the Globex Trap strategy, traders are primarily interested in price behavior around the high and low levels established during the overnight session. Common applications of this indicator for this strategy include:
Breakout Trades: Watching for price to break above the Globex high or below the Globex low, indicating potential momentum in the breakout direction.
Reversal Trades: Monitoring for failed breakouts or traps where price tests and rejects the Globex high or low, suggesting a reversal as liquidity is trapped in these zones.
Support and Resistance Zones: Using the session high and low as key support and resistance levels during the regular trading session, with potential entry or exit points when price approaches these areas.
Additional Configuration Options
Vertical Line Color and Width: Define the color and thickness of the vertical session start and end lines to match your chart’s theme.
Upper and Lower Line Colors and Styles: Customize the appearance of the session high and low horizontal lines by setting color and line style (solid, dashed, or dotted), making it easy to distinguish these critical levels from other chart markings.
Summary
This indicator is a valuable tool for traders implementing the Globex Trap strategy. It visually segments the Globex session and marks essential price levels, helping traders analyze market behavior overnight. Through its customizable options and clear visual representation, it simplifies tracking overnight price activity and identifying strategic levels for potential trade setups during the regular session.

5-Minute YEN Pivot Bars 1.0The 5-Minute YEN Pivot Bars indicator is designed to identify and highlight low-range pivot bars on 5-minute charts, specifically tailored for Yen-based pairs (e.g., GBPJPY, USDJPY). By focusing on precise pip thresholds, this tool helps traders detect potential pivot points within specific trading sessions, while avoiding inside bars and other noise often seen in low-volatility conditions. This can be particularly useful for trend traders and those looking to refine their entry points based on intraday reversals.
Key Features:
- Customized Pip Thresholds for Yen Pairs:
The indicator is pre-configured for Yen pairs, where 1 pip is typically represented by 0.01. It applies these thresholds:
- Limited Range: 4 pips or less between open and close prices.
- High/Low Directionality: At least 3 pips from the close/open to the bar's high or low.
- Open/Close Proximity: 4 pips or less between open and close.
- Inside Bar Tolerance: A tolerance of 3 pips for inside bars, helping reduce false signals from bars contained within the previous bar's range.
- Session-Specific Alerts:
- The indicator allows you to enable alerts for the European Session (6:00-12:00), American Session (12:00-17:00), and London Close (17:00-20:00). You can adjust these times based on your own trading hours or timezone preferences via a time-shift setting.
- Receive real-time alerts when a valid bullish or bearish pivot bar is identified within the chosen sessions, allowing you to respond to potential trade opportunities immediately.
- Time Shift Customization:
- Adjust the "Time Shift" parameter to account for different time zones, ensuring accurate session alignment regardless of your local time.
How It Works:
1. Pivot Bar Identification:
The indicator scans for bars where the difference between the open and close is within the "Limited Range" threshold, and both open and close prices are close to either the high or the low of the bar.
2. Directional Filtering:
It requires the bar to show strong directional bias by enforcing an additional distance between the open/close levels and the opposite end of the bar (high/low). Only bars with this directional structure are considered for highlighting.
3. Exclusion of Inside Bars:
Bars that are completely contained within the range of the previous bar are excluded (inside bars), as are consecutive inside bars. This filtering is essential to avoid marking bars that typically indicate consolidation rather than potential pivot points.
4. Session Alerts:
When a valid pivot bar appears within the selected sessions, an alert is triggered, notifying the trader of a potential trading signal. Bullish and bearish signals are differentiated based on whether the close is near the high or low.
How to Use:
- Trend Reversals: Use this indicator to spot potential trend reversals or pullbacks on a 5-minute chart, especially within key trading sessions.
- Entry and Exit Points: Highlighted bars can serve as potential entry points for traders looking to capitalize on short-term directional changes or continuation patterns.
- Combine with Other Indicators: Consider pairing this tool with momentum indicators or trendlines to confirm the signals, providing a comprehensive analysis framework.
Default Parameters:
- Limited Range: 4 Pips
- High/Low Directionality: 3 Pips
- Open/Close Proximity: 4 Pips
- Inside Bar Tolerance: 3 Pips
- Session Alerts: Enabled for European, American, and London Close sessions
- Time Shift: Default 6 (adjustable to align with different time zones)
This indicator is specifically optimized for Yen pairs on 5-minute charts due to its pip calculation.

The BB MTF FVGs with First Presented FVG Highlight indicator is an advanced trading tool designed to help users identify and monitor Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) across multiple timeframes, offering traders deep insight into market structure and liquidity imbalances. With the ability to track up to three distinct timeframes (e.g., 1-minute, 1-hour, and 1-day), this indicator provides a comprehensive multi-level perspective, helping traders recognize critical support and resistance areas based on liquidity gaps. Additionally, it highlights the first FVG that presents after a specific time each day, making it especially useful for traders who prioritize session starts or key time-based market activity.
_________________________________________________________________________________
Key Features
1. Multi-Timeframe FVG Detection on Three Levels:
• Track FVGs on three user-defined timeframes for a robust view of liquidity gaps across intraday, intermediate, and higher timeframes. For instance, you could set up 1-minute, 1-hour, and 1-day timeframes to capture the market’s behavior from granular intraday action to daily structural gaps. Each timeframe is fully customizable, and users can enable or disable individual levels as needed.
2. Price Action-Driven FVG Status Analysis:
• The indicator continuously monitors price action to assess the state of each FVG. FVGs are dynamically styled based on their status:
• Untouched: FVGs with solid borders indicate that price has not yet traded into the gap.
• Mitigated: If price partially fills or “mitigates” an FVG, its borders turn dotted, providing visual feedback that the gap has seen some interaction.
• Inverted: When an FVG is fully invalidated by price moving completely through it, the border is removed, signaling the inversion. This real-time analysis gives traders instant feedback on the status of each FVG, helping them quickly assess active, mitigated, or invalidated zones.
3. Highlighting the First FVG After a Specified Time:
• A unique feature that highlights the first FVG presented after a specified time (e.g., 9:30 AM) each day, making it easy for traders to focus on session-based FVGs that could impact market direction. This feature is especially valuable for those tracking the opening range or specific session periods.
4. Configurable FVG Extension Options:
• The indicator offers flexible settings to control how long each FVG remains extended across the chart. Users can choose to extend until the first mitigation, until full mitigation, until inversion, or opt for no extension. This allows traders to adjust FVG visibility duration based on their strategy and trading style.

3AM EST CRT Indicator3AM EST Candle Range Theory Indicator
The 3AM EST Candle Range Theory Indicator is designed to highlight a crucial period in the trading day for Forex and other markets that operate 24/7. This indicator focuses on the 3AM EST candle, which represents the early hours of the U.S. market morning and the midpoint of the European trading session. During this period, volatility often picks up, and the 3AM candle can serve as a powerful reference point for price action throughout the day.
Key Features of the Indicator
3AM Candle Highlighting: The 3AM candle is automatically highlighted in blue, making it easy to spot on the chart. This helps traders quickly identify this pivotal candle without manually searching for it.
Range Lines: The high and low of the 3AM candle are marked by black lines extending across the day. These levels often act as support and resistance, influencing price movement throughout the trading session. Observing how the price interacts with these levels can provide insights into potential breakouts, reversals, or consolidations.
Labels: The high of the 3AM candle is labeled as "3am CRH" (Candle Range High) and the low as "3am CRL" (Candle Range Low). These labels serve as visual cues for traders, reinforcing the importance of these levels on the chart.
How to Use the 3AM EST Candle Range Indicator
Support and Resistance: The high and low of the 3AM candle often serve as strong intraday support and resistance levels. Traders can observe if the price respects or breaks these levels to make decisions about potential entries and exits.
Breakout Trading: If the price breaks above the 3am high (CRH), it can signal bullish momentum, especially when accompanied by increased volume. Conversely, a break below the 3am low (CRL) may indicate bearish momentum. These breakouts can provide potential trade opportunities.
Reversals and Continuations: Often, price will test and reject one of these levels, creating an opportunity for reversal trades. If the price re-enters the 3AM candle range after breaking out, it could signal a potential continuation back into the original trend.
Session Range Guidance: Since the 3AM candle encapsulates both the early U.S. and active European sessions, it often provides a strong reference for the range and sentiment in the early trading hours. The 3AM range can give a sense of market direction and volatility for the day.
Benefits
Clear Visual Cues: The blue candle highlight, black lines, and labels make this indicator visually intuitive and easy to understand at a glance.
Useful Across Market Conditions: Whether markets are trending or ranging, the 3AM high and low can serve as reliable reference points for intraday support and resistance.
Applicable to Various Strategies: This indicator can enhance a variety of trading strategies, including breakout, range trading, and trend-following.
Summary
The 3AM EST Candle Range Theory Indicator provides traders with a reliable way to gauge intraday price levels based on the 3AM EST candle. By observing how the price interacts with the high and low of this candle, traders can gain insights into potential support, resistance, and breakout points. This can be particularly useful for short-term traders looking to capitalize on intraday volatility or longer-term traders seeking reference points for daily price action analysis.
Slope Based DivergencesThis is an interesting take on divergences.
Most divergence indicators identify divergences by identifying two points within some look back period on an oscillator and two points on the price chart and if the slope of those two points are going in opposing directions than a divergence is identified
This take a different approach. This looks at the slope of the price and the oscillator over multiple points within the look back period and averages those slopes to get a more comprehensive value. A divergence isn't just two points, it is also everything that happened in-between those two points.
From there is compares the averages of the oscillator slope and the price slope and looks for extremes.
The default value for the extremes are 90 and 10 but some oscillators might need to be 99.99 and 0.01 or maybe 70 30. the smoothening of the oscillator you decide those values.
David_candle length with average and candle directionThis indicator,
calculates the difference between the highest and lowest price (High-Low difference) for a specified number of periods and displays it in a table. Here are the functions and details included:
Number of Periods: The user can define the number of periods (e.g., 10) for which the High-Low differences are calculated.
Table Position: The position of the table that displays the results can be selected by the user (top left, top right, bottom left, or bottom right).
High-Low Difference per Candle: For each defined period, the difference between the highest and lowest price of the respective candle is calculated.
Candle Direction: The color of the displayed text in the table changes based on the candle direction:
Green for bullish candles (close price higher than open price).
Red for bearish candles (close price lower than open price).
White for neutral candles (close price equal to open price).
Average: Below the High-Low differences, the average value of the calculated differences is displayed in yellow text.
This indicator is useful for visually analyzing the volatility and movement range within the recent candles by highlighting the average High-Low difference.
Average Up and Down Candles Streak with Predicted Next CandleThis indicator is designed to analyze price trends by examining the patterns of up and down streaks (consecutive bullish or bearish candles) over a defined period. It uses this data to provide insights on whether the next candle is likely to be bullish or bearish, and it visually displays relevant information on the chart.
Here’s a breakdown of what the indicator does:
1. Inputs and Parameters
Period (Candles): Defines the number of candles used to calculate the average length of bullish and bearish streaks. For example, if the period is set to 20, the indicator will analyze the past 20 candles to determine average up and down streak lengths.
Bullish/Bearish Bias Signal Toggle: These options allow users to show or hide visual signals (green or red circles) when there’s a bullish or bearish bias in the trend based on the indicator’s calculations.
2. Streak Calculation
The indicator looks at each candle within the period to identify if it closed up (bullish) or down (bearish).
Up Streak: The indicator counts consecutive bullish candles. When there’s a bearish candle, it resets the up streak count.
Down Streak: Similarly, it counts consecutive bearish candles and resets when a bullish candle appears.
Averages: Over the defined period, the indicator calculates the average length of up streaks and average length of down streaks. This provides a baseline to assess whether the current streak is typical or extended.
3. Current and Average Streak Display
The indicator displays the current up and down streak lengths alongside the average streak lengths for comparison. This data appears in a table on the chart, allowing you to see at a glance:
The current streak length (for both up and down trends)
The average streak length for up and down trends over the chosen period
4. Trend Prediction for the Next Candle
Next Candle Prediction: Based on the current streak and its comparison to the average, the indicator predicts the likely direction of the next candle:
Bullish: If the current up streak is shorter than the average up streak, suggesting that the bullish trend could continue.
Bearish: If the current down streak is shorter than the average down streak, indicating that the bearish trend may continue.
Neutral: If the current streak length is near the average, which could signal an upcoming reversal.
This prediction appears in a table on the chart, labeled as “Next Candle.”
5. Previous Candle Analysis
The Previous Candle entry in the table reflects the last completed candle (directly before the current candle) to show whether it was bullish, bearish, or neutral.
This data gives a reference point for recent price action and helps validate the next candle prediction.
6. Visual Signals and Reversal Zones
Bullish/Bearish Bias Signals: The indicator can plot green circles on bullish bias and red circles on bearish bias to highlight points where the trend is likely to continue.
Reversal Zones: If the current streak length reaches or exceeds the average, it suggests the trend may be overextended, indicating a potential reversal zone. The indicator highlights these zones with shaded backgrounds (green for possible bullish reversal, red for bearish) on the chart.
Summary of What You See on the Chart
Bullish and Bearish Bias Signals: Green or red circles mark areas of expected continuation in the trend.
Reversal Zones: Shaded areas in red or green suggest that the trend might be about to reverse.
Tables:
The Next Candle prediction table displays the trend direction of the previous candle and the likely trend of the next candle.
The Streak Information table shows the current up and down streak lengths, along with their averages for easy comparison.
Practical Use
This indicator is helpful for traders aiming to understand trend momentum and potential reversals based on historical patterns. It’s particularly useful for swing trading, where knowing the typical length of bullish or bearish trends can help in timing entries and exits.

Bullish/Bearish Reversal Bars Indicator [Skyrexio]Introduction
Bullish/Bearish Reversal Bars Indicator leverages the combination of candlestick reversal bar pattern and the Williams Alligator indicator to help traders in understanding where there is a high probability of market reversal or correction. Indicator works for both bearish and bullish cases. It visualizes the bearish and bullish reversal bars with red and green dots and also plots the Alligator's lips to make it more convenient for traders to understand if price is above or below lips line (more information in "Methodology and it's justification" paragraph).
Features
Market Facilitation Index(MFI) filter: with the specified parameter in settings user can choose to filter bullish and bearish reversal bars which passed the MFI condition.
Awesome Oscillator(AO) filter: with the specified parameter in settings user can choose to filter bullish and bearish reversal bars which passed the AO condition.
Alerts: user can set up the alert and have notifications when bullish/bearish reversal bar has been printed.
Methodology and it's justification
In the script’s methodology, we apply the concepts of bullish and bearish reversal bars introduced by Bill Williams in his book Trading Chaos. So, what exactly is a bullish or bearish reversal bar? At its core, it’s a candlestick pattern. A bullish reversal bar is a bar that closes in its upper half, while a bearish reversal bar closes in its lower half.
Why is this type of bar significant? Let’s look at the bullish reversal bar as an example. When the price is trending upward, forming higher highs with each candle, and we suddenly see a bullish bar that makes a new high but ultimately closes in its lower half, it signals a shift in control. Bears have taken control toward the end of that candle's period, pushing the price back down. This can be interpreted as a sign of trend weakness and a potential reversal (or at least a correction).
An additional key point is that a reversal bar often indicates a possible end to the trend. Therefore, for a reversal bar to be valid, several preceding candles should show lower highs (for bullish bars) or higher lows (for bearish bars), reinforcing the likelihood of a trend change.
The second step on methodology is the location of the bar related to Williams Alligator. The Williams Alligator Indicator, developed by Bill Williams, is a technical analysis tool that helps traders identify trends and potential turning points in the market. It consists of three lines, often called the jaw, teeth, and lips of the alligator, each representing different moving averages:
Jaw (Blue Line): A slower moving average, typically a 13-period smoothed moving average shifted 8 bars into the future.
Teeth (Red Line): A medium moving average, typically an 8-period smoothed moving average shifted 5 bars into the future.
Lips (Green Line): A faster moving average, usually a 5-period smoothed moving average shifted 3 bars into the future.
When the three lines are spread out and moving in the same direction, it suggests a strong trend (the "alligator" is "awake and feeding"). When they intertwine, the indicator suggests that the market is moving sideways, or in a range, signaling a lack of clear trend (the "alligator" is "sleeping"). Traders use the Alligator Indicator to enter trades in trending markets and avoid trades in choppy, non-trending markets.
If bullish reversal bar's high is not below and bearish reversal bar's low is not above all three Alligator's lines (jaw, lips, teeth) they cannot be interpreted as these types of bars. It can be explained as following: if we are waiting for the bullish reversal bar it shall be reversal from downtrend. If price is not below all three lines it can't be interpret as the downtrend according to this method. The opposite is true for the bearish reversal bar.
All described above are obligatory conditions for reversal bar, now let's discuss two not obligatory conditions. The first one is Market Facilitation Index (MFI) restriction. Let's briefly look what is MFI. The Market Facilitation Index (MFI) is a technical indicator that measures the price movement per unit of volume, helping traders gauge the efficiency of price movement in relation to trading volume. Here's how you can calculate it:
MFI = (High−Low)/Volume
MFI can be used in combination with volume, so we can divide 4 states. Bill Williams introduced these to help traders interpret the interaction between volume and price movement. Here’s a quick summary:
Green Window (Increased MFI & Increased Volume): Indicates strong momentum with both price and volume increasing. Often a sign of trend continuation, as both buying and selling interest are rising.
Fake Window (Increased MFI & Decreased Volume): Shows that price is moving but with lower volume, suggesting weak support for the trend. This can signal a potential end of the current trend.
Squat Window (Decreased MFI & Increased Volume): Shows high volume but little price movement, indicating a tug-of-war between buyers and sellers. This often precedes a breakout as the pressure builds.
Fade Window (Decreased MFI & Decreased Volume): Indicates a lack of interest from both buyers and sellers, leading to lower momentum. This typically happens in range-bound markets and may signal consolidation before a new move.
For our purposes we are interested in squat bars. This is the sign that volume cannot move the price easily. This type of bar increases the probability of trend reversal. In this indicator we added to enable the MFI filter of reversal bars. If potential reversal bar or two preceding bars have squat state this bar can be interpret as a reversal one.
The second additional filter is Awesome Oscillator. The Awesome Oscillator (AO), developed by Bill Williams, is a momentum indicator that measures market momentum by comparing recent price action to a longer historical context. It helps traders identify potential trend reversals and the strength of trends. Formula:
AO = SMA5(Median Price) − SMA34(Median Price)
where:
Median Price = (High + Low) / 2
SMA5 = 5-period Simple Moving Average of the Median Price
SMA 34 = 34-period Simple Moving Average of the Median Price
If AO is decreasing momentum is bearish, if increasing - bullish. According to Bill Williams approach reversal bars are the potential trades against the trend. As a result we added second filter for bullish reversal bars AO shall be decreasing, for bearish increasing.
How to use indicator
Apply it to desired chart and time frame. It works on every time frame.
Setup the filters with the "Enable MFI" and "Enable AO" checkboxes in the settings. By default they are turned on.
Analyze the price action. Indicator plotted the white line, this is the lips of an Alligator. It will help you to understand how price is moving in comparison to lips line. Indicator will print the green dot and text "BULL" below it current bar is bullish reversal. It will print the red dot and text "BEAR" above it if current bar is interpreted by algorithm as a bearish reversal.
Set up the alerts if it's needed. Indicator has two custom alerts called "Bullish reversal bar has been printed" and "Bearish reversal bar has been printed"
