[LTS] Marubozu Candle StrategyOVERVIEW
The Marubozu Candle Strategy identifies and trades wickless candles (Marubozu patterns) with dynamic take-profit and stop-loss levels based on market volatility. This indicator combines traditional Japanese candlestick pattern recognition with modern volatility-adjusted risk management and includes a comprehensive performance tracking dashboard.
A Marubozu candle is a powerful continuation pattern characterized by the complete absence of wicks on one side, indicating strong directional momentum. This strategy specifically detects:
- Bullish Marubozu: Close > Open AND Low = Open (no lower wick)
- Bearish Marubozu: Close < Open AND High = Open (no upper wick)
When price returns to test these levels, the indicator generates trading signals with predefined risk-reward parameters.
CORE METHODOLOGY
Detection Logic:
The script scans each bar for Marubozu formations using precise price comparisons. When a wickless candle appears, a horizontal line extends from the opening price, marking it as a potential support (bullish) or resistance (bearish) level. These levels remain active until price touches them or until the maximum line limit is reached.
EMA Filter (Optional):
An exponential moving average filter enhances signal quality by requiring proper trend alignment. For bullish signals, price must be above the EMA when touching the level. For bearish signals, price must be below the EMA. This filter reduces counter-trend trades and improves win rates in trending markets. Users can disable this filter for range-bound conditions.
Dynamic Risk Management:
The strategy employs ATR-based (Average True Range) position sizing rather than fixed point values. This approach adapts to market volatility automatically:
- In low volatility: Tighter stops and targets
- In high volatility: Wider stops and targets proportional to market movement
Default settings use a 2:1 reward-to-risk ratio (1x ATR for take-profit, 0.5x ATR for stop-loss), but users can adjust these multipliers to match their trading style.
HOW IT WORKS
Step 1 - Pattern Detection:
On each bar, the indicator evaluates whether the candle qualifies as a Marubozu by comparing the high, low, open, and close prices. When detected, the opening price becomes the key level.
Step 2 - Level Management:
Horizontal lines extend from each Marubozu's opening price. The indicator maintains two separate arrays: one for unbroken levels (actively extending) and one for broken levels (historical reference). Users can configure how many of each type to display, preventing chart clutter while maintaining relevant context.
Step 3 - Signal Generation:
When price returns to touch a Marubozu level, the indicator evaluates the EMA filter condition. If the filter passes (or is disabled), the script draws TP/SL boxes showing the expected profit and loss zones based on current ATR values.
Step 4 - Trade Tracking:
Each valid signal enters the tracking system, which monitors subsequent price action to determine outcomes. The script identifies whether the take-profit or stop-loss was hit first (discarding trades where both trigger on the same candle to avoid ambiguous results).
PERFORMANCE DASHBOARD
The integrated dashboard provides real-time strategy analytics to automatically convert results to dollar values for any instrument:
Tracked Metrics:
- Total Trades: Complete count of closed positions
- Wins/Losses: Individual counts with color coding
- Win Rate: Success percentage with dynamic color (green >= 50%, red < 50%)
- Total P&L: Cumulative profit/loss in dollars
- Avg Win: Mean dollar amount per winning trade
- Avg Loss: Mean dollar amount per losing trade
NOTE: The dollar values shown in the dashboard are for trading only a single share/contract/etc. You will need to manually multiply those numbers by the amount of shares/contracts you are trading to get a true value.
The dollar conversion works automatically across all markets:
- Futures contracts (ES, NQ, CL, etc.) use their contract specifications
- Forex pairs use standard lot calculations
- Stocks and crypto use their respective point values
This eliminates manual calculation and provides immediate performance feedback in meaningful currency terms.
CUSTOMIZATION OPTIONS

Darvas Lines/Box1. Overview
The Darvas Lines/Box (v1.0) is a dynamic trend following indicator based on the renowned method developed by Nicolas Darvas. It's designed to identify clear price consolidation ranges and detect decisive breakouts, crucial for positional and swing trading strategies.
This indicator automatically draws and adjusts the consolidation ranges, and includes modern enhancements such as Advanced Retest Confirmation and exposed alert conditions, providing reliable signals for monitoring and acting on trend continuations.
2. Core Features
Custom Display Mode (Lines/Box): Allows the user to toggle the visualization between showing just the Breakout Lines (Lines) or displaying the consolidation area with a filled background box (Box).
Source Selection (Wicks/Body): Users can choose whether the box boundaries are defined by the candlestick wicks (price extremes) or the candlestick body (open/close price). This feature is critical for adjusting sensitivity to market noise.
Dynamic Box Drawing: Draws Darvas boxes automatically by tracking price highs and lows based on user-defined parameters (Bars to Define Range, Max Box Height).
Retest Confirmation: Detects if the old resistance/support line functions effectively after a breakout. When a retest is confirmed, the line is extended and its color changes.
Price Labels (Stable Lock): Displays the highest and lowest box prices, fixed to the left outer edge of the box. This ensures stable visibility.
Progress Labels: Visualizes the current line price and the percentage distance to the closing price on the right side of the box, showing progress toward the next breakout.
3. Trading Strategy: How to Use the Indicator
This indicator is primarily used to identify trend initiation and trend continuation signals.
A. Entry Strategy (Breakout)
Long Entry Action: Consider taking a long entry when the price closes above the Upper Line (Green Line), signaled by a BULLISH BREAKOUT alert.
Signal: Use the BULLISH BREAKOUT alert.
Short Entry Action: Consider taking a short entry when the price closes below the Lower Line (Red Line), signaled by a BEARISH BREAKOUT alert.
Signal: Use the BEARISH BREAKOUT alert.
B. Retest Strategy (Add-on/Confirmation)
Action: When the price pulls back to touch the broken line (signaled by RETEST CONFIRMED), this confirms the break's validity.
Alert: The RETEST CONFIRMED alert is triggered at this moment.
C. Risk Management (General)
Stop Loss: The initial stop-loss is typically set just beyond the opposite side of the broken box. As the trend progresses and new boxes form, the lower boundary of the most recently formed box can be used as a trailing stop for managing risk.
4. Setting Parameters
Line Source (Wicks/Body): Crucial for sensitivity. 'Wicks' tracks price extremes; 'Body' tracks stronger close-to-close movements, ignoring noise.
Bars to Define Range: Defines the calculation period (in bars) for the box.
Cooldown Bars After Breakout: Sets the waiting period after a breakout before a new box can start forming.
Retest Lookback Bars (Phase 3): Sets the maximum number of bars to check for a retest during the cooldown phase.
Max Gap for Retest (%): Defines the maximum percentage distance from the line allowed to confirm a retest (Set to Zero (0.0%) for near-touch detection).
Alert Frequency (Breakout): Allows selection between Continuous and Once per Box for breakout signals.
5. Alerts: How to Set Up the Triggers
This indicator exposes several specific conditions to the TradingView alert panel, allowing you to select the exact event you want to monitor.
Step-by-Step Alert Setup:
Open the Alert Panel on the chart.
In the Condition field, select the indicator's name.
In the Alert Condition field, choose the specific event you want to monitor:

HIDDEN IMPULSE - Multi-Timeframe Momentum Detection System
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
OVERVIEW
Hidden Impulse is an advanced momentum oscillator that combines the Schaff Trend Cycle (STC) and Force Index into a comprehensive multi-timeframe trading system. Unlike standard implementations of these indicators, this script introduces three distinct trading setups with specific entry conditions, multi-timeframe confirmation, and trend filtering.
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
ORIGINALITY & KEY FEATURES
This indicator is original in the following ways:
1. DUAL-TIMEFRAME STC ANALYSIS
Standard STC implementations work on a single timeframe. This script
simultaneously analyzes STC on both your trading timeframe and a higher
timeframe, providing trend context and filtering out low-probability signals.
2. FORCE INDEX INTEGRATION
The script combines STC with Force Index (volume-weighted price momentum)
to confirm the strength behind price moves. This combination helps identify
when momentum shifts are backed by genuine buying/selling pressure.
3. THREE DISTINCT TRADING SETUPS
Rather than generic overbought/oversold signals, the indicator provides
three specific, rule-based setups:
- Setup A: Classic trend-following entries with multi-timeframe confirmation
- Setup B: Divergence-based reversal entries (highest probability)
- Setup C: Mean-reversion bounce trades at extreme levels
4. INTELLIGENT FILTERING
All signals are filtered through:
- 50 EMA trend direction (prevents counter-trend trades)
- Higher timeframe STC alignment (ensures macro trend agreement)
- Force Index confirmation (validates volume support)
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
HOW IT WORKS - TECHNICAL EXPLANATION
SCHAFF TREND CYCLE (STC) CALCULATION:
The STC is a cyclical oscillator that combines MACD concepts with stochastic
smoothing to create earlier and smoother trend signals.
Step 1: Calculate MACD
- Fast MA = EMA(close, Length1) — default 23
- Slow MA = EMA(close, Length2) — default 50
- MACD Line = Fast MA - Slow MA
Step 2: First Stochastic Smoothing
- Apply stochastic calculation to MACD
- Stoch1 = 100 × (MACD - Lowest(MACD, Smoothing)) / (Highest(MACD, Smoothing) - Lowest(MACD, Smoothing))
- Smooth result with EMA(Stoch1, Smoothing) — default 10
Step 3: Second Stochastic Smoothing
- Apply stochastic calculation again to the smoothed stochastic
- This creates the final STC value between 0-100
The dual stochastic smoothing makes STC more responsive than MACD while
being smoother than traditional stochastics.
FORCE INDEX CALCULATION:
Force Index measures the power behind price movements by incorporating volume:
Force Raw = (Close - Close ) × Volume
Force Index = EMA(Force Raw, Period) — default 13
Interpretation:
- Positive Force Index = Buying pressure (bulls in control)
- Negative Force Index = Selling pressure (bears in control)
- Force Index crossing zero = Momentum shift
- Divergences with price = Weakening momentum (reversal signal)
TREND FILTER:
A 50-period EMA serves as the trend filter:
- Price above EMA50 = Uptrend → Only LONG signals allowed
- Price below EMA50 = Downtrend → Only SHORT signals allowed
This prevents counter-trend trading which accounts for most losing trades.
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
THE THREE TRADING SETUPS - DETAILED
SETUP A: CLASSIC MOMENTUM ENTRY
Concept: Enter when STC exits oversold/overbought zones with trend confirmation
LONG CONDITIONS:
1. Higher timeframe STC > 25 (macro trend is up)
2. Primary timeframe STC crosses above 25 (momentum turning up)
3. Force Index crosses above 0 OR already positive (volume confirms)
4. Price above 50 EMA (local trend is up)
SHORT CONDITIONS:
1. Higher timeframe STC < 75 (macro trend is down)
2. Primary timeframe STC crosses below 75 (momentum turning down)
3. Force Index crosses below 0 OR already negative (volume confirms)
4. Price below 50 EMA (local trend is down)
Best for: Trending markets, continuation trades
Win rate: Moderate (60-65%)
Risk/Reward: 1:2 to 1:3
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
SETUP B: DIVERGENCE REVERSAL (HIGHEST PROBABILITY)
Concept: Identify exhaustion points where price makes new extremes but
momentum (Force Index) fails to confirm
BULLISH DIVERGENCE:
1. Price makes a lower low (LL) over 10 bars
2. Force Index makes a higher low (HL) — refuses to follow price down
3. STC is below 25 (oversold condition)
Trigger: STC starts rising AND Force Index crosses above zero
BEARISH DIVERGENCE:
1. Price makes a higher high (HH) over 10 bars
2. Force Index makes a lower high (LH) — refuses to follow price up
3. STC is above 75 (overbought condition)
Trigger: STC starts falling AND Force Index crosses below zero
Why this works: Divergences signal that the current trend is losing steam.
When volume (Force Index) doesn't confirm new price extremes, a reversal
is likely.
Best for: Reversal trading, range-bound markets
Win rate: High (70-75%)
Risk/Reward: 1:3 to 1:5
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
SETUP C: QUICK BOUNCE AT EXTREMES
Concept: Catch rapid mean-reversion moves when price touches EMA50 in
extreme STC zones
LONG CONDITIONS:
1. Price touches 50 EMA from above (pullback in uptrend)
2. STC < 15 (extreme oversold)
3. Force Index > 0 (buyers stepping in)
SHORT CONDITIONS:
1. Price touches 50 EMA from below (pullback in downtrend)
2. STC > 85 (extreme overbought)
3. Force Index < 0 (sellers stepping in)
Best for: Scalping, quick mean-reversion trades
Win rate: Moderate (55-60%)
Risk/Reward: 1:1 to 1:2
Note: Use tighter stops and quick profit-taking
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
HOW TO USE THE INDICATOR
STEP 1: CONFIGURE TIMEFRAMES
Primary Timeframe (STC - Primary Timeframe):
- Leave empty to use your current chart timeframe
- This is where you'll take trades
Higher Timeframe (STC - Higher Timeframe):
- Default: 30 minutes
- Recommended ratios:
* 5min chart → 30min higher TF
* 15min chart → 1H higher TF
* 1H chart → 4H higher TF
* Daily chart → Weekly higher TF
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
STEP 2: ADJUST STC PARAMETERS FOR YOUR MARKET
Default (23/50/10) works well for stocks and forex, but adjust for:
CRYPTO (volatile):
- Length 1: 15
- Length 2: 35
- Smoothing: 8
(Faster response for rapid price movements)
STOCKS (standard):
- Length 1: 23
- Length 2: 50
- Smoothing: 10
(Balanced settings)
FOREX MAJORS (slower):
- Length 1: 30
- Length 2: 60
- Smoothing: 12
(Filters out noise in 24/7 markets)
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
STEP 3: ENABLE YOUR PREFERRED SETUPS
Toggle setups based on your trading style:
Conservative Trader:
✓ Setup B (Divergence) — highest win rate
✗ Setup A (Classic) — only in strong trends
✗ Setup C (Bounce) — too aggressive
Trend Trader:
✓ Setup A (Classic) — primary signals
✓ Setup B (Divergence) — for entries on pullbacks
✗ Setup C (Bounce) — not suitable for trending
Scalper:
✓ Setup C (Bounce) — quick in-and-out
✓ Setup B (Divergence) — high probability scalps
✗ Setup A (Classic) — too slow
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
STEP 4: READ THE SIGNALS
ON THE CHART:
Labels appear when conditions are met:
Green labels:
- "LONG A" — Setup A long entry
- "LONG B DIV" — Setup B divergence long (best signal)
- "LONG C" — Setup C bounce long
Red labels:
- "SHORT A" — Setup A short entry
- "SHORT B DIV" — Setup B divergence short (best signal)
- "SHORT C" — Setup C bounce short
IN THE INDICATOR PANEL (bottom):
- Blue line = Primary timeframe STC
- Orange dots = Higher timeframe STC (optional)
- Green/Red bars = Force Index histogram
- Dashed lines at 25/75 = Entry/Exit zones
- Background shading = Oversold (green) / Overbought (red)
INFO TABLE (top-right corner):
Shows real-time status:
- STC values for both timeframes
- Force Index direction
- Price position vs EMA
- Current trend direction
- Active signal type
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
TRADING STRATEGY & RISK MANAGEMENT
ENTRY RULES:
Priority ranking (best to worst):
1st: Setup B (Divergence) — wait for these
2nd: Setup A (Classic) — in confirmed trends only
3rd: Setup C (Bounce) — scalping only
Confirmation checklist before entry:
☑ Signal label appears on chart
☑ TREND in info table matches signal direction
☑ Higher timeframe STC aligned (check orange dots or table)
☑ Force Index confirming (check histogram color)
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
STOP LOSS PLACEMENT:
Setup A (Classic):
- LONG: Below recent swing low
- SHORT: Above recent swing high
- Typical: 1-2 ATR distance
Setup B (Divergence):
- LONG: Below the divergence low
- SHORT: Above the divergence high
- Typical: 0.5-1.5 ATR distance
Setup C (Bounce):
- LONG: 5-10 pips below EMA50
- SHORT: 5-10 pips above EMA50
- Typical: 0.3-0.8 ATR distance
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
TAKE PROFIT TARGETS:
Conservative approach:
- Exit when STC reaches opposite level
- LONG: Exit when STC > 75
- SHORT: Exit when STC < 25
Aggressive approach:
- Hold until opposite signal appears
- Trail stop as STC moves in your favor
Partial profits:
- Take 50% at 1:2 risk/reward
- Let remaining 50% run to target
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
WHAT TO AVOID:
❌ Trading Setup A in sideways/choppy markets
→ Wait for clear trend or use Setup B only
❌ Ignoring higher timeframe STC
→ Always check orange dots align with your direction
❌ Taking signals against the major trend
→ If weekly trend is down, be cautious with longs
❌ Overtrading Setup C
→ Maximum 2-3 bounce trades per session
❌ Trading during low volume periods
→ Force Index becomes unreliable
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
ALERTS CONFIGURATION
The indicator includes 8 alert types:
Individual setup alerts:
- "Setup A - LONG" / "Setup A - SHORT"

EXAMPLE TRADE WALKTHROUGH
SETUP B DIVERGENCE LONG EXAMPLE:
1. Market Context:
- Price in downtrend, below 50 EMA
- Multiple lower lows forming
- STC below 25 (oversold)
2. Divergence Formation:
- Price makes new low at $45.20
- Force Index refuses to make new low (higher low forms)
- This indicates selling pressure weakening
3. Signal Trigger:
- STC starts turning up
- Force Index crosses above zero
- Label appears: "LONG B DIV"
4. Trade Execution:
- Entry: $45.50 (current price at signal)
- Stop Loss: $44.80 (below divergence low)
- Target 1: $47.90 (STC reaches 75) — risk/reward 1:3.4
- Target 2: Opposite signal or trail stop
5. Trade Management:
- Price rallies to $47.20
- STC reaches 68 (approaching target zone)
- Take 50% profit, move stop to breakeven
- Exit remaining at $48.10 when STC crosses 75
Result: 3.7R gain
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
ADVANCED TIPS
1. MULTI-TIMEFRAME CONFLUENCE
For highest probability trades, wait for:
- Primary TF signal
- Higher TF STC aligned (>25 for longs, <75 for shorts)
- Even higher TF trend in same direction (manual check)
2. VOLUME CONFIRMATION
Watch the Force Index histogram:
- Increasing bar size = Strengthening momentum
- Decreasing bar size = Weakening momentum
- Use this to gauge signal strength
3. AVOID THESE MARKET CONDITIONS
- Major news events (Force Index becomes erratic)
- Market open first 30 minutes (volatility spikes)
- Low liquidity instruments (Force Index unreliable)
- Extreme trending days (wait for pullbacks)
4. COMBINE WITH SUPPORT/RESISTANCE
Best signals occur near:
- Key horizontal levels
- Fibonacci retracements
- Previous day's high/low
- Psychological round numbers
5. SESSION AWARENESS
- Asia session: Use lower timeframes, Setup C works well
- London session: Setup A and B both effective
- New York session: All setups work, highest volume

jjjjjjjjExplanation of the Script
Bullish and Bearish Candles: The function isBullishOrderBlock() checks if a candle is "bullish" in nature (based on body size to range ratio). Similarly, isBearishOrderBlock() checks for bearish candles.
Order Block Length and Threshold: length is the number of bars to scan for an order block, and threshold sets how strong a candle needs to be to be considered an order block.
Detection: The loop searches backward through the bars to find strong bullish and bearish order blocks, marking the price points where the strong moves happened.
Plotting: The plotshape() function is used to plot arrows or labels on the chart to mark where bullish or bearish order blocks are identified.
Improving and Customizing
Highlighting Blocks: Instead of just marking a point, you can plot horizontal boxes or shaded regions using box.new() to visually highlight the order block zone.
Use of Different Timeframes: You can modify the script to look for order blocks across multiple timeframes to increase accuracy.
Complex Rules: Depending on your strategy, you may want to add additional rules, such as looking for price to return to the order block area before confirming the strength of the block.

CHOCH + FVG Signals [30m Optimized]CHOCH + FVG Signals
🎯 What It Does:
This script automatically scans your chart for high-probability Smart Money Concepts (SMC) setups based on two key institutional trading principles:
Change of Character (CHOCH) – A shift in market structure signaling potential reversal
Fair Value Gap (FVG) – An imbalance zone where price moved too fast, often acting as support/resistance
When both conditions align, the script plots clear Buy (▲) and Sell (▼) signals directly on your chart — ideal for intraday trading on the 30-minute timeframe (but works on any timeframe).
✅ Key Features:
🔹 Visual Fair Value Gaps
Green shaded zones = Bullish FVGs (potential support)
Red shaded zones = Bearish FVGs (potential resistance)
Toggle on/off in settings
🔹 Smart CHOCH Detection
Detects breaks of recent swing highs/lows with proper context
Avoids false signals by confirming prior price structure
🔹 Clear Trade Signals
Green ▲ below bar = Buy signal (Bullish CHOCH + FVG confluence)
Red ▼ above bar = Sell signal (Bearish CHOCH + FVG confluence)
🔹 Customizable Filters
Option to require FVG for a signal (recommended for higher accuracy)
Adjust sensitivity via swing detection settings (default optimized for 30m)
🔹 Alert-Ready
Built-in alert conditions for instant notifications on TradingView mobile/desktop
⚙️ How to Use:
Apply to a 30-minute chart (e.g., EURUSD, Gold, NAS100, BTC)
Wait for at least 50–100 bars to load (so swing points appear)
Look for:
A green triangle (▲) → consider long entry near FVG support
A red triangle (▼) → consider short entry near FVG resistance
Confirm with price action: Wait for a strong candle close or rejection at the FVG zone
Use stop-loss below/above the FVG and target recent liquidity pools
💡 Pro Tip: Best used during high-volume sessions (e.g., London Open 7–10 AM UTC, NY Open 12:30–3:30 PM UTC).

Dynamic S/R# Complete Parameter Guide
## 1. Lookback Bars (Default: 500)
- **Function**: Number of historical bars the script analyzes to identify levels
- **Example**: If set to 500, the script examines the last 500 candles
- **Increase when**: Trading long-term, searching for old historical levels
- **Decrease when**: Day trading or short-term trading, viewing only recent levels
- **Recommendation**: 200-300 for day trading, 500-1000 for swing trading
## 2. Min Touches (Default: 3)
- **Function**: Minimum number of touches required for a level to be considered valid
- **Example**: If set to 3, a level with only 2 touches will not be displayed
- **Increase (4-5) when**: You want only very strong and confirmed levels
- **Decrease (2) when**: You want to identify potential levels early
- **Recommendation**: 3 is a balanced value - not too loose, not too strict
## 3. Extrema Type (Default: both)
- **Function**: Which type of extrema to identify
- **Options**:
- **min**: Support levels only (pivot lows)
- **max**: Resistance levels only (pivot highs)
- **both**: Both types
- **When to change**:
- In uptrend looking for support only: select "min"
- In downtrend looking for resistance only: select "max"
## 4. Pivot Window (Default: 5)
- **Function**: How many bars on each side are required to confirm a pivot
- **Technical explanation**: pivot low = price lower than 5 bars before it and 5 bars after it
- **Increase (7-10) when**:
- More significant extrema needed
- Less noise, fewer levels
- Good for higher timeframes
- **Decrease (3-4) when**:
- More sensitivity needed
- More levels wanted
- Good for scalping
- **Important**: Higher value = quality over quantity
## 5. Clustering Sensitivity % (Default: 0.5%)
- **Function**: Percentage deviation allowed to group touches into the same level
- **Example**: If level at $100 and sensitivity 0.5%, touches between $99.5-$100.5 count as same level
- **Increase (1-2%) when**:
- Volatile assets (crypto, small stocks)
- More consolidation of nearby levels
- Fewer levels on chart
- **Decrease (0.2-0.3%) when**:
- Stable assets (indices, forex majors)
- Higher precision needed
- Separation between close levels
- **Recommendation**: Start at 0.5% and adjust per instrument
## 6. Max Levels to Show (Default: 10)
- **Function**: Maximum number of support/resistance lines displayed on chart
- **Selection criteria**: Script prioritizes levels by:
1. Number of touches (more = stronger)
2. Price spread (tighter = more accurate)
3. Recency (most recent touch closer to present)
- **Low value (5-10)**: Clean chart with only strongest levels
- **High value (20-50)**: More options, including weaker levels
## 7. Min Bar Separation (Default: 5)
- **Function**: Minimum distance in bars between two touches of the same type (min or max)
- **Why important**: Prevents double-counting the same extremum
- **Example**: If pivot low at bar 100 and another at bar 103, only one counts
- **Increase (10-20) when**:
- Lower timeframes with much noise
- Avoiding false consolidation
- **Decrease (2-3) when**:
- Higher timeframes
- Identifying quick movements
## 8. Alert Proximity % (Default: 1%)
- **Function**: Distance from level at which to trigger alert
- **Example**: Level at $100, proximity 1% = alert between $99-$101
- **Increase (2-3%) when**:
- Earlier alerts wanted
- More preparation time needed
- May create false alerts
- **Decrease (0.5%) when**:
- More precise alerts wanted
- Stronger confirmation needed
- Less reaction time
- **Recommendation**: 1% works well for most cases
## 9. Show Price Bands (Default: true)
- **Function**: Displays zone around level instead of just a line
- **Zone size**: Plus/minus Clustering Sensitivity %
- **Why useful**:
- Levels are never exact lines
- Zone better represents reality
- Helps identify entries and exits within zone
- **Off**: Cleaner chart with only lines
## 10. Show Info Table (Default: true)
- **Function**: Displays information table in chart corner
- **Table contents**:
- Type: S (Support) / R (Resistance) / N (Neutral)
- Price: Level price
- Touches: Number of touches
- Bars Ago: How many bars since last touch
- **Off**: If you know the levels and want a clean chart

The Wave Levels (ORB Indicator)This Indicator is made for the ORB trader. It's purpose is to help make your charting faster by providing some basic key levels to reference at a glance. This was optimized to be used on the 5m timeframe.
Key features:
1. Green and Red ORB rays to indicate the 15 minute Opening Range. These ranges will only extend as long as its respective session's length.
2. Previous sessions zones for historical easily identification of historical data (best used in UTC-4 timezone)
3. White Liquidity Rays. These rays are used to mark a previous session's high or low which hasn't been swept yet. This makes for a good TP area or identifying a potential reversal area.
Once a previous session high or low has been taken, the ray will automatically remove.

FVG & IFVG Box Detector
The "FVG & IFVG Box Detector" is a custom Pine Script v6 indicator for TradingView that identifies and highlights Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) and their subsequent mitigation as Imbalance Fair Value Gaps (IFVGs) on a price chart. Tailored for use on a 5-minute timeframe (though it must be manually set by the user due to script limitations), this indicator provides a visual representation of market imbalances using colored boxes, which automatically disappear when the gaps are filled by price action. The script is designed to be clean and minimalistic, omitting text labels or annotations as per your preference.Key FeaturesFVG Detection:A Bullish FVG is detected when the low of the current candle is higher than the high of the candle two bars ago, indicating a potential upward imbalance, visualized with a green-bordered box filled with a semi-transparent green background.
A Bearish FVG is detected when the high of the current candle is lower than the low of the candle two bars ago, indicating a potential downward imbalance, visualized with a red-bordered box filled with a semi-transparent red background.
A minimum gap size filter (default 0%) can be adjusted to exclude small gaps, ensuring only significant imbalances are highlighted.
IFVG Transition:When a Bearish FVG is filled (price closes below its lower boundary), the red box disappears, and a blue-bordered box with a semi-transparent blue background briefly appears to mark the Bullish IFVG, indicating the zone may now act as support. This box then vanishes.
When a Bullish FVG is filled (price closes above its upper boundary), the green box disappears, and an orange-bordered box with a semi-transparent orange background briefly appears to mark the Bearish IFVG, indicating the zone may now act as resistance. This box then vanishes.
The disappearance of boxes reflects the resolution of the imbalance, keeping the chart uncluttered.
Customization:Users can toggle the display of Bullish FVGs, Bearish FVGs, Bullish IFVGs, and Bearish IFVGs via input settings.
The extendBars parameter (default 50) controls how far to the right the boxes extend, allowing adjustment of their visibility duration.
Colors for Bullish FVG, Bearish FVG, Bullish IFVG, and Bearish IFVG can be customized using TradingView’s color picker, with defaults set to semi-transparent green, red, blue, and orange, respectively.
Performance:The script includes a cleanup mechanism to limit the number of active boxes to 50 per type, preventing performance issues by deleting the oldest boxes when the limit is exceeded.
It uses static variable assignments to ensure compatibility with Pine Script v6’s strict type requirements for drawing functions.
FunctionalityThe indicator scans each bar on the 5-minute chart to detect FVGs based on the defined conditions.
Upon detection, it creates a box extending from the starting bar (two bars ago) to the current bar plus the extendBars value, using the high and low prices to define the box’s vertical range.
When price action fills an FVG, the original box is deleted, and a brief IFVG box is created at the same price levels, which also disappears, signaling the imbalance has been neutralized.
No text or labels are displayed, ensuring a clean visual experience focused solely on the boxes.
Intended UseTraders: This tool is ideal for traders using FVG and IFVG concepts (common in Smart Money or ICT trading strategies) to identify potential support and resistance zones. The blue boxes (Bullish IFVGs) may indicate areas to buy or expect a bounce, while orange boxes (Bearish IFVGs) may indicate areas to sell or expect a pullback.
Chart Analysis: By observing when and where boxes appear and disappear, traders can track market structure shifts without cluttering the chart with annotations.
LimitationsThe script must be applied to a 5-minute chart manually, as the timeframe argument is not supported due to the use of drawing functions.
The brief appearance of IFVG boxes means historical levels must be tracked manually (e.g., via screenshots) or by adjusting the script to retain them if desired.
The minimum gap size filter might need tuning depending on the instrument (e.g., Gold) to capture relevant gaps.
Current Status (as of 08:53 AM EDT, October 23, 2025)The script is fully functional on your 5-minute chart, with the latest version (v5) resolving the timeframe error by removing the invalid argument. Boxes should now appear and disappear as intended, with green for Bullish FVGs, red for Bearish FVGs, blue for Bullish IFVGs, and orange for Bearish IFVGs.
TR ADR/AWR/AMR (with 25%, 50%, 75%) - RodolfoThis script uses the TR ADR/AWR/AMR indicator code and only the 25 and 75% levels for all 3 volatilities
Inside Bar Range Boxes — Volume Break out by Sparkfx v2 Confirm on close + buffer ticks (close must beat the box by a cushion)
Minimum box size (in ATR or %)
Minimum “compression length” (N consecutive inside bars)
Trend filter (EMA 200) (only buy above / sell below)
Volume filter (breakout vol > SMA vol)
Cooldown (no new signals for X bars after a breakout)
Mother-bar range box: When a candle is inside the previous candle (high ≤ prev high AND low ≥ prev low), the script marks the previous bar as the mother bar and draws a shaded box from that bar’s high/low.
The box extends to the right until price breaks out above the high or below the low.
On breakout it can color the border (green = up, red = down), optionally print BUY/SELL labels, and either keep the box or delete it.
Visuals
Box Fill / Border / Width: appearance of the range.
Bull/Bear Break Border: colors used once a breakout is detected.
Show BUY/SELL arrows: show small labels at the breakout.
Keep old boxes after breakout: leave history on chart.
Extend box forward (bars): safety limit so boxes don’t run forever.
Shrink to each NEW inside bar: if another inside bar appears within the active box, the range tightens to that newest mother
Require bar close outside box: wait for a candle close to confirm the break (less noise).
Buffer (ticks): require price to clear the box by N ticks (prevents 1-tick fakeouts).
Min box size (ATR x) and ATR length: ignore tiny boxes (e.g., min 0.25× ATR).
Min consecutive inside bars: only start a box after 2+ consecutive inside bars (more compression = cleaner moves).
Cooldown after breakout (bars): suppress new signals for X bars after a break..
Trend filter (EMA 200):
Buy only if price > EMA(200)
Sell only if price < EMA(200)
Volume filter: breakout volume must be > SMA(volume).
Maintain box: extend right each bar; optionally shrink to newer inside bars.
Breakout test:
Up: (close or high) > boxHigh + buffer
Down: (close or low) < boxLow - buffer
Apply trend, volume, and cooldown filters.
On breakout: color border (green/red), place label if enabled, optionally keep or delete the box, and fire an alertcondition.
Alerts included
Inside Bar Bullish Breakout (Filtered)
Inside Bar Bearish Breakout (Filtered)
They only trigger when all enabled filters pass.
How to use (quick playbook)
Turn on Require close and set Buffer = 1–2 ticks.
Set Min box size = 0.25–0.40 ATR, Min consecutive inside bars = 2.
Enable Trend filter (EMA 200) and optionally Cooldown = 5–10 bars.
Trade breakouts in the trend direction; place stops beyond the opposite side of the box.
If you want more trades, loosen ATR multiple or turn off the trend filter; if it’s too chatty, increase ATR multiple / consecutive bars.
Why your boxes may differ from other indicators
This script uses high/low wicks with optional tightening (if enabled), tolerance buffer, confirmation on close, and extra filters—all of which can make boxes and signals diverge from a “pure” inside-bar tool that draws on first detection without filters.

saodisengxiaoyu-lianghua-2.1- This indicator is a modular, signal-building framework designed to generate long and short signals by combining a chosen leading indicator with selectable confirmation filters. It runs on Pine Script version 5, overlays directly on price, and is built to be highly configurable so traders can tailor the signal logic to their market, timeframe, and trading style. It includes a dashboard to visualize which conditions are active and whether they validate a signal, and it outputs clear buy/sell labels and alert conditions so you can automate or monitor trades with confidence.
Core Design
- Leading Indicator: You choose one primary signal generator from a broad list (for example, Range Filter, Supertrend, MACD, RSI, Ichimoku, and many others). This serves as the anchor of the system and determines when a preliminary long or short setup exists.
- Confirmation Filters: You can enable additional filters that validate the leading signal before it becomes actionable. Each “respect…” input toggles a filter on or off. These filters include popular tools like EMA, 2/3 EMA crosses, RQK (Nadaraya Watson), ADX/DMI, Bollinger-based oscillators, MACD variations, QQE, Hull, VWAP, Choppiness Index, Damiani Volatility, and more.
- Signal Expiry: To avoid waiting indefinitely for confirmations, the indicator counts how many consecutive bars the leading condition holds. If confirmations do not align within a defined number of bars, the setup expires. This controls latency and helps reduce late or stale entries.
- Alternating Signals: An optional mode enforces alternation (long must follow short and vice versa), helping avoid repeated entries in the same direction without a meaningful reset.
- Aggregation Logic: The final long/short conditions are formed by combining the leading condition with all selected confirmation filters through logical conjunction. Only if all enabled filters validate the signal (within expiry constraints) does the indicator consider it a confirmed long or short.
- Visualization and Alerts: The script plots buy/sell labels at signal points, provides alert conditions for automation, and displays a compact dashboard summarizing the leading indicator’s status and each confirmation’s pass/fail result using checkmarks.
Leading Indicator Options
- The indicator includes a very large menu of leading tools, each with its own logic to determine uptrend or downtrend impulses. Highlights include:
- Range Filter: Uses a dynamic centerline and bands computed via conditional EMA/SMA and range sizing to define directional movement. It can operate in a default mode or an alternative “DW” mode.
- Rational Quadratic Kernel (RQK): Applies a kernel smoothing model (Nadaraya Watson) to detect uptrends and downtrends with a focus on noise reduction.
- Supertrend, Half Trend, SSL Channel: Classic trend-following tools that derive direction from ATR-based bands or moving average channels.
- Ichimoku Cloud and SuperIchi: Multi-component systems validating trend via cloud position, conversion/base line relationships, projected cloud, and lagging span.
- TSI (True Strength Index), DPO (Detrended Price Oscillator), AO (Awesome Oscillator), MACD, STC (Schaff Trend Cycle), QQE Mod: Momentum and cycle tools that parse direction from crossovers, zero-line behavior, and momentum shifts.
- Donchian Trend Ribbon, Chandelier Exit: Trend and exit tools that can validate breakouts or sustained trend strength.
- ADX/DMI: Measures trend strength and directional movement via +DI/-DI relationships and minimum ADX thresholds.
- RSI and Stochastic: Use crossovers, level exits, or threshold filters to gate entries based on overbought/oversold dynamics or relative strength trends.
- Vortex, Chaikin Money Flow, VWAP, Bull Bear Power, ROC, Wolfpack Id, Hull Suite: A diverse set of directional, momentum, and volume-based indicators to suit different markets and styles.
- Trendline Breakout and Range Detector: Price-behavior filters that confirm signals during breakouts or within defined ranges.
Confirmation Filters
- Each filter is optional. When enabled, it must validate the leading condition for a signal to pass. Examples:
- EMA Filter: Requires price to be above a specified EMA for longs and below for shorts, filtering signals that contradict broader trend or baseline levels.
- 2 EMA Cross and 3 EMA Cross: Enforce moving average cross conditions (fast above slow for long, the reverse for short) or a three-line stacking logic for more stringent trend alignment.
- RQK, Supertrend, Half Trend, Donchian, QQE, Hull, MACD (crossover vs. zero-line), AO (zero line or AC momentum variants), SSL: Each adds its characteristic validation pattern.
- RSI family (MA cross, exits OB/OS zones, threshold levels) plus RSI MA direction and RSI/RSI MA limits: Multiple ways to constrain signals via relative strength behavior and trajectories.
- Choppiness Index and Damiani Volatility: Prevent entries during ranging conditions or insufficient volatility; choppiness thresholds and volatility states gate the trade.
- VWAP, Volume modes (above MA, simple up/down, delta), Chaikin Money Flow: Volume and flow conditions that ensure signals happen in supportive liquidity or accumulation/distribution contexts.
- ADX/DMI thresholds: Demand a minimum trend strength and directional DI alignment to reduce whipsaw trades.
- Trendline Breakout and Range Detector: Confirm that the price is breaking structure or remains within active range consistent with the leading setup.
- By combining several filters you can create strict, conservative entries or looser setups depending on your goals.
Range Filter Engine
- A core building block, the Range Filter uses conditional EMA and SMA functions to compute adaptive bands around a dynamic centerline. It supports two types:
- Type 1: The centerline updates when price exceeds the band thresholds; bands define acceptable drift ranges.
- Type 2: Uses quantized steps (via floor operations) relative to the previous centerline to handle larger moves in discrete increments.
- The engine offers smoothing for range values using a secondary EMA and can switch between raw and averaged outputs. Its hi/lo bands and centerline compose a corridor that defines directional movement and potential breakout confirmation.
Signal Construction
- The script computes:
- leadinglongcond and leadingshortcond : The primary directional signals from the chosen leading indicator.
- longCond and shortCond : Final signals formed by combining the leading conditions with all enabled confirmations. Each confirmation contributes a boolean gate. If a filter is disabled, it contributes a neutral pass-through, keeping the logic intact without enforcing that condition.
- Expiry Logic: The code counts consecutive bars where the leading condition remains true. If confirmations do not line up within the user-defined “Signal Expiry Candle Count,” the setup is abandoned and the signal does not trigger.
- Alternation: An optional state ensures that long and short signals alternate. This can reduce repeated entries in the same direction without a clear reset.
- Finally, longCondition and shortCondition represent the actionable signals after expiry and alternation logic. These drive the label plotting and alert conditions.
Visualization
- Buy and Sell Labels: When longCondition or shortCondition confirm, the script plots annotated labels directly on the chart, making entries easy to see at a glance. The labels use color coding and clear text tags (“long” vs. “short”).
- Dashboard: A table summarizes the status of the leading indicator and all confirmations. Each row shows the indicator label and whether it passed (✔️) or failed (❌) on the current bar. This intensely practical UI helps you diagnose why a signal did or did not trigger, empowering faster strategy iteration and parameter tuning.
- Failed Confirmation Markers: If a setup expires (count exceeds the limit) and confirmations failed to align, the script can mark the chart with a small label and provide a tooltip listing which confirmations did not pass. It’s a helpful audit trail to understand missed trades or prevent “chasing” invalid signals.
- Data Window Values: The script outputs signal states to the data window, which can be useful for debugging or building composite conditions in multi-indicator templates.
Inputs and Parameters
- You control the indicator from a comprehensive input panel:
- Setup: Signal expiry count, whether to enforce alternating signals, and whether to display labels and the dashboard (including position and size).
- Leading Indicator: Choose the primary signal generator from the large list.
- Per-Filter Toggles: For each confirmation, a respect... toggle enables or disables it. Many include sub-options (like MACD type, Stochastic mode, RSI mode, ADX variants, thresholds for choppiness/volatility, etc.) to fine-tune behavior.
- Range Filter Settings: Choose type and behavior; select default vs. DW mode and smoothing. The underlying functions adjust band sizes using ATR, average change, standard deviation, or user-defined scales.
- Because everything is customizable, you can adapt the indicator to different assets, volatility regimes, and timeframes.
Alerts and Automation
- The script defines alert conditions tied to longCondition and shortCondition . You can set these alerts in your chart to trigger notifications or webhook calls for automated execution in external bots. The alert text is simple, and you can configure your own message template when creating alerts in the chart, including JSON payloads for algorithmic integration.
Typical Workflow
- Select a Leading Indicator aligned with your style. For trend following, Supertrend or SSL may be appropriate; for momentum, MACD or TSI; for range/trend-change detection, Range Filter, RQK, or Donchian.
- Add a few key Confirmation Filters that complement the leading signal. For example:
- Pair Supertrend with EMA Filter and RSI MA Direction to ensure trend alignment and positive momentum.
- Combine MACD Crossover with ADX/DMI and Volume Above MA to avoid signals in low-trend or low-liquidity conditions.
- Use RQK with Choppiness Index and Damiani Volatility to only act when the market is trending and volatile enough.
- Set a sensible Signal Expiry Candle Count. Shorter expiry keeps entries timely and reduces lag; longer expiry captures setups that mature slowly.
- Observe the Dashboard during live markets to see which filters pass or fail, then iterate. Tighten or loosen thresholds and filter combinations as needed.
- For automation, turn on alerts for the final conditions and use webhook payloads to notify your trading robot.
Strengths and Practical Notes
- Flexibility: The indicator is a toolkit rather than a single rigid model. It lets you test different combinations rapidly and visualize outcomes immediately.
- Clarity: Labels, dashboard, and failed-confirmation markers make it easy to audit behavior and refine settings without digging into code.
- Robustness: The expiry and alternation options add discipline, avoiding the temptation to enter late or repeatedly in one direction without a reset.
- Modular Design: The logical gates (“respect…”) make the behavior transparent: if a filter is on, it must pass; if it’s off, the signal ignores it. This keeps reasoning clean.
- Avoiding Overfitting: Because you can stack many filters, it’s tempting to over-constrain signals. Start simple (one leading indicator and one or two confirmations). Add complexity only if it demonstrably improves your edge across varied market regimes.
Limitations and Recommendations
- No single configuration is universally optimal. Markets change; tune filters for the instrument and timeframe you trade and revisit settings periodically.
- Trend filters can underperform in choppy markets; likewise, momentum filters can false-trigger in quiet periods. Consider using Choppiness Index or Damiani to gate signals by regime.
- Use expiry wisely. Too short may miss good setups that need a few bars to confirm; too long may cause late entries. Balance responsiveness and accuracy.
- Always consider risk management externally (position sizing, stops, profit targets). The indicator focuses on signal quality; combining it with robust trade management methods will improve results.
Example Configurations
- Trend-Following Setup:
- Leading: Supertrend uptrend for longs and downtrend for shorts.
- Confirmations: EMA Filter (price above 200 EMA for long, below for short), ADX/DMI (trend strength above threshold with +DI/-DI alignment), Volume Above MA.
- Expiry: 3–4 bars to keep entries timely.
- Result: Strong bias toward sustained moves while avoiding weak trends and thin liquidity.
- Mean-Reversion to Momentum Crossover:
- Leading: RSI exits from OB/OS zones (e.g., RSI leaves oversold for long and leaves overbought for short).
- Confirmations: 2 EMA Cross (fast crossing slow in the same direction), MACD zero-line behavior for added momentum validation.
- Expiry: 2–3 bars for responsive re-entry.
- Result: Captures momentum transitions after short-term extremes, with extra confirmation to reduce head-fakes.
- Range Breakout Focus:
- Leading: Range Filter Type 2 or Donchian Trend Ribbon to detect breakouts.
- Confirmations: Damiani Volatility (avoid low-volatility false breaks), Choppiness Index (prefer trend-ready states), ROC positive/negative threshold.
- Expiry: 1–3 bars to act on breakout windows.
- Result: Better alignment to breakout dynamics, gating trades by volatility and regime.
Conclusion
- This indicator is a comprehensive, configurable framework that merges a chosen leading signal with an array of corroborating filters, disciplined expiry handling, and intuitive visualization. It’s designed to help you build high-quality entry signals tailored to your approach, whether that’s trend-following, breakout trading, momentum capturing, or a hybrid. By surfacing pass/fail states in a dashboard and allowing alert-based automation, it bridges the gap between discretionary analysis and systematic execution. With sensible parameter tuning and thoughtful filter selection, it can serve as a robust backbone for signal generation across diverse instruments and timeframes.
