Jump around different timeframes and look for setups signals during Killzone Times Best New York!
Try to use these buy sell signals alongside your own current trading model or combine it with your Goldbach Ict Trading and backtest 🔑✌️ ...
I use this Indicator with my 3-6-9 Tesla Time Indicator looking for Buy / Sell signals during 🔥New York Killzone Times, 3-6-9 Tesla Timings whatever !
I Jump around 5 min 15 min 3 min 30 min 1 hour etc too look for Signals
Bonus Pro Tip
Im using the Green Red signals from this indicator and combining it with the Goldbach The Algo2 Buy and Sell Signal Tracker
in this way i can see the regular 243 signals in green red but also the Orange-buy /purple-sell signals from The Spec indicator
Use this indicator with structure, liquidity sweep analysis, or session timing (e.g., New York open) for even more accuracy.
You can combine this 243 Algo 2 version with the 729/243 Spec version (Orange/Purple) to spot both regular and advanced setups.

🧠 What is this indicator?
Goldbach The 243 Algo2 Buy and Sell Signal Tracker is a precision tool that detects potential buy and sell opportunities using Goldbach range mathematics and PO3 (Power of 3) logic. It highlights where price is likely reacting to engineered liquidity levels inside structured dealing ranges — specifically the 243-unit Goldbach range.
How it works
The indicator calculates Goldbach dealing ranges based on a PO3 range of 243, a common fractal range observed in algorithmic market behavior.
It defines key manipulation levels such as:
RB (Reaccumulation Band),
OB (Order Block),
FV (Fair Value),
and more.
A BUY signal is printed when price enters the lower manipulation zone, reacts, and confirms bullish intent.
A SELL signal appears in the upper manipulation zone upon bearish confirmation.
How to use it
Timeframes: Best used on 1min to 1h charts.
Scalpers can use 1–5min,
Day traders: 15m–30m,
Swing traders: 1h+ for broader confirmation.
Use the default setting (PO3 = 243).
BUY / SELL labels (orange/purple) show the core signals.
Settings Tab:
You can toggle shaded zones, Goldbach lines, and switch between label or circle display.
Enjoy ! 💯

AL Brooks - Price Action Multi-Signal Suite📘 Price Action Multi-Signal Suite📘
This indicator is a complete visual toolset for traders who use price action principles inspired by Al Brooks-style analysis.
It combines multiple nuanced signals — like first/second entries, breakout failures, trend bias, higher-timeframe context, and dynamic trend channels — into one elegant, customizable interface.
It is built with clarity, flexibility, and actionable precision in mind.
🧠 Core Concepts Behind the Tool
1. Trend Bias with EMA (20 by default)
The indicator calculates a standard EMA (default: 20) to establish trend direction bias.
When price is above EMA, we consider the market to be in a bull trend, and vice versa.
The EMA line changes color dynamically — green (bull), red (bear), gray (neutral).
🟢 Example:
If price is forming higher highs and staying above EMA with strong bull bars, the bias is bullish. In this phase, you're looking for High 1 and High 2 (H1/H2) setups.
2. First and Second Entries (H1/H2 and L1/L2)
High 1 (H1): First pullback in a bull trend after a minor new high.
High 2 (H2): A second attempt to push up after a failed H1.
Low 1 (L1) and Low 2 (L2): Mirror the above logic for bear trends.
📈 Example Trade – H2 Long:
Price breaks out above EMA.
Pulls back and forms an H1, but it fails to break out.
Second push (H2) forms a higher low, then closes strong above previous bar → BUY entry.
📉 Example Trade – L2 Short:
Market is below EMA.
A rally creates L1, fails.
L2 forms and closes below the previous bar low with a bear body → SELL entry.
3. Second Entry Logic (Simplified Swing Count)
This adds context to H2/L2 by ensuring at least two swings occurred in the same direction.
Reduces false signals in choppy markets.
Painted as colored circles (aqua = long, fuchsia = short).
4. Breakout Failure Detection
Detects false breakouts using 10-bar highs/lows:
Failed High Breakout: Price breaks a 10-bar high but closes back inside → potential reversal short.
Failed Low Breakout: Price breaks a 10-bar low but closes back inside → potential long.
🚨 Example:
Price breaks above a recent high but closes below it with a strong bear bar → look for reversal or fade setups.
5. Inside / Outside Bars
Helps recognize compression (inside bars) or volatility expansions (outside bars).
Inside bars often precede breakouts.
Outside bars may signal traps or indecision.
Use these in combination with entry logic. An H2 after an inside bar can signal a strong, clean breakout.
6. Higher Timeframe (HTF) Context
Pulls EMA and trend bias from a higher timeframe (default: 1hr).
Background color indicates HTF bias (adjustable opacity).
Green = HTF uptrend.
Red = HTF downtrend.
🧭 Usage: Trade in the direction of the HTF bias when possible. An H2 with HTF bias bullish adds confluence.
7. Trend Channels (Automatic, Visual)
Dynamically draws trend channel lines based on pivot highs/lows.
These act as support/resistance, visual guides for traps or continuation.
Trendline breakouts or touches often align with H2/L2 setups.
📏 Example:
Price touches lower channel and forms a second entry long (L2) with a strong bull bar → high-quality reversal trade.
⚙️ Customization Options
Toggle each signal component (entries, bias, bars, failures, channels).
Adjust EMA length, HTF resolution, background opacity.
Keep your chart clean and focused on the signals that matter to you.
📊 Trade Example Summary
H2 with HTF Bullish
Trade Setup: Strong bull bar after a failed H1, above EMA
Expected Move: Trend continuation upward
L2 with Channel Hit
Trade Setup: Pullback hits lower trend channel, forms L2
Expected Move: Reversal or scalp down
Failed High Breakout
Trade Setup: Price breaks above a 10-bar high, but reverses and closes inside
Expected Move: Quick fade or reversal short
Inside Bar + H2
Trade Setup: Price compresses into an inside bar, followed by a breakout with H2
Expected Move: Momentum breakout trade
Outside Bar + L2
Trade Setup: Price breaks strongly in one direction (outside bar), second push fails upward, forms L2
Expected Move: Short on weakness
Please note, this is an educational idea and representation of whatever I understood of it.
Historical performances may not be replicable in present/future.
Trade at your own responsibility.

Ultimator's bottom finder 2.0This indicator is intended to find local bottoms on certain stocks like GME and SPY.
It is only designed to be effective on a few select stocks and will be useless on others.
The bottom finder attempts to find bottoms by using a unique algorithm I developed, which creates a baseline for what the stock "should" look like vs. what it actually looks like.
Since the algorithm was created to mimic GME price action, it will not work as intended on stocks that trade vastly differently. On stocks other than GME (and SPY) you need to test it for yourself to see if it has any functionality.
Large deviations in the actual price vs baseline price create a spike on the indicator with the magnitude of the spike being the guesstimated deviation. This is intended to show options and swap hedging, which coincidentally tend to coincide with local bottoms on the chart. The indicator creates a highlight when it believes it has found a local bottom. It also changes the color of the line based on the magnitude of the spike.
I added a second line, which performs a similar mechanic, so there are two separate baselines running concurrently. The deviation between the two is shown as a shaded area between the lines.
The indicator doesn't (yet) include after hours functionality, and simply zeroes out at close and before open. Because of this, only short timeframes and long timeframes result in any meaningful data.
Optimized for 1 min and 1 day timeframes.
Alerts are set for when the line turns red and when the indicator highlights. These can be toggled in the alerts menu.
Opening Range Breakout (ORB)This is an Opening Range Break indicator. Best if used on a 5 minute chart. It plots the opening 30 minutes high and low of a ticker. (meaning mostly for stocks, options, etfs) and then it alerts a buy signal upon break of opening high and a sell signal upon break of opening low. This is a day trading type of indicator and there is a new opening range everyday.

MTF Fractal Bias Confluence DetectorMTF Fractal Bias Confluence Detector
This indicator, the MTF Fractal Bias Confluence Detector, is based on the idea that the market exhibits fractal behaviour. The origin of the idea traces back to 1963, when Benoit Mandelbrot analyzed the fluctuations in cotton prices over a time series starting in 1900, discovering that price changes exhibited scale-invariant patterns. This means that the curve representing daily price changes mirrored the shape of monthly price changes, highlighting the fractal nature of market behaviour. When applied to swing points across multiple timeframes (MTF), this concept suggests that swing points demonstrate similar patterns regardless of the timeframe being analyzed. These self-similar fractal structures provide traders with insights into market reversals and trends, making them a powerful tool for multi-timeframe analysis.
A Swing Point is made up of three main parts: a move away from the last Break level; forming a peak (pivot point) with a Fakeout of the peak (explained through an example later); and a subsequent move away from it. These swing points recur across all timeframes as part of cyclical momentum patterns, meaning each swing point gives rise to a new cycle of market movement. Due to the fractal nature of the market, larger cycles encompass multiple smaller ones.
The theory behind the Fractal Bias Confluence Detector utilizes the idea that the market movements are fractal in nature and illustrates how such swing points can be identified across MTFs. To do so, we examine the Peak Fakeouts within these cycles, as they form. It is not possible to know in advance how long each of these moves will last, but a Swing Point will often occur with a Peak Fakeout. Therefore, the most critical element is to identify the Peak Fakeout.
The snapshot below captures a Peak Fakeout, as discussed earlier.
Similarly, the following snapshot shows various possible breakdowns of Higher Time Frame (HTF) cycles into smaller Lower Time Frame (LTF) movements. The chart contains a white table(not part of the indicator and shown for illustration purposes only).
To further illustrate. Consider the combination of Time Frames (TF) from the 2nd row (from the above snapshot). Cycle TF (1M), Setup TF (1W), Momentum TF (1D) etc.
Price movements in the 1M TF highlight the direction in which HTF traders are pushing the market. Often, when markets have broken out of a level, they tend to form a peak and can then pull back towards the prior breakout level. Once the pullback is beyond the last breakout level, in the opposite direction, we may say the peak formation is created, and directional bias has changed. This is also called Peak Fakeout. Due to the fractal nature of the market, Swing Points on the HTF will often constitute multiple Swing Points on the LTF, though they are not always in sync. However, after such peak formation, there is a high probability that the price might move away from the peak for at least 1 candle (in the cycle TF). This theory illustrates that once a new cycle is in play, we can then look at 1W (Setup TF) to look for possible in-sync movements, at least within that 1 candle of the HTF. Repeating the same for further lower TFs, we may arrive at a confluence of Fractal Bias and see how the movements in LTF are driven by the HTF momentum.
Another example within the chart:
Note: The above examples are just for illustration purposes, and other permutations and combinations of movements across multiple TFs are also possible.
This indicator aims to help users identify such fractal-bias-confluences, so that they can leverage the fractal nature of the market to get a holistic view. To do so, the indicator displays how the market has moved across multiple time frames, with respect to different historical levels.
Features:
1. The bias summary table
The following snapshot depicts the bias summary table at the bottom right of the chart.
1.1. Workings: The table will display, for various TFs, in the first four (starting from "current" to Prev ) rows, one of the following.
"F/H" , " Acronym for the failed break of the previous high",
"F/L" , " Acronym for the failed break of the previous low",
"B/H" , " Acronym for the break of the previous high",
"B/L" , " Acronym for the break of the previous low",
"IN" , " Acronym for an inside candle (never broke high or low of perv candle)",
"OT" , " Acronym for an outside candle (broke both high and low of previous candle and closing price is in between previous high and low)".
Note: these acronyms are customizable according to the user's choice of terminology in any language, as shown in the snapshot below.
1.1.1 In the above snapshot, the 1st row, called "Current", shows how the current candle is evolving with respect to the previous one. The "previous" row shows how the previous candle closed with respect to the pre-previous one. The next two rows represent the bias of the pre-previous and pre-pre-previous in a similar manner. By default, the bias is updated in real-time, even for the already closed historical candles. For example, if the previous 4H candle closed as a B/H and the current price then comes below the pre-previous 4H candle high, then the bias of the previous candle will get updated to F/H. This informs the user that the break above the pre-previous high has failed. However, the user has the option to turn this off. The information in these four rows shows the user how the market is moving currently and how it evolved before reaching the current price levels.
Note: The calculation done by the indicator is to keep track of how the price is moving with respect to the last candle levels in real-time. This means if the price first goes above the previous high and then goes below the previous low, the indicator is equipped to display what happened in the most recent time. The snapshot below shows the option to turn on/off such updates in the bias summary table.
Note: While the bias summary table is turned on, the user also has the option to turn off Prev and Prev rows, as shown in the snapshot below.
1.1.2 The 2nd to last row, called CL/CS(Consecutive Long/Short), shows whether consecutive (2+) breaks of high/low happened or not in one direction without taking out the previous candle's range in the opposite direction. When conditions are met, it will show the number of times the price has been pushed in one direction (in the above manner), followed by "L" for long and "S" for short, for each TF, for example, "4L". It gets updated in real-time for each push in the same direction. Furthermore, a good analogy of "4L" on an HTF is 4 consecutive Break of Structure (BOS) (in the same direction) on LTF, without a Change of Character (CHoCH). Another example would be Stacey Burke's 3 consecutive rises that can be mapped in the indicator, if the conditions are met for "3L" for a given TF.
1.1.3 The last row, FRC/FGC, stands for the first red/green candle. It shows whether the last candle of a TF has closed as green (i.e., close>open) after posting two red candles (i.e., close<open). This helps understand possible short-term retracements in price movements.
1.2 Customizability
1.2.1 We provide a wide range of customizable options, including multiple time frames to choose from for each type of TFs. This is shown in the snapshot below.
1.2.2 All the acronyms on the summary table are customizable and can be user-defined, including text, background color and transparency. This is shown in the snapshot below.
2. High-low lines
2.1 We also show the high and low of various TFs, including the current high and low lines (which are updated in real-time. This can be observed in one of the previous snapshots.
2.2 Previous high, low and close lines can be extended (for Cycles, Setups and Momentum TFs). Their style and thickness are also customizable. This can be observed in one of the previous snapshots.
Note: The user has the option to turn all the lines off. Sub-options include turning off the current line only. Changing the color, thickness, and transparency of the lines. This can be observed in one of the previous snapshots.
3. Last known Break / Failed Break lines.
3.1 We also depict the last known Break and Failed break lines for the user to have all the important levels at their disposal. This can be observed in one of the previous snapshots.
Note: The user has the option to turn this on/off.
4. Magnifier Box
4.1 We have provided the user to look at thirty 1m candles inside a magnifier box while they are in a higher TF chart.
The user has the option to turn this on/off.
5. Moving Averages (MA)
We have also grouped some built-in MA options for the user to utilize along with other elements of the indicator to help them get another layer of confluence.
The user has the option to turn this on/off.

The indicator leverages pre-existing theories of market movements. These can be found in decades-old published materials (like books, journals, public lectures accessible over popular video-sharing websites, etc.). As such, we do not claim to have any exclusive rights over the underlying theories. There are many analogous theories and nomenclatures that users can map onto this indicator.

Intelligent Support & Resistance Lines (MTF)This script automatically detects and updates key Support & Resistance (S/R) levels using a higher timeframe (MTF) approach. By leveraging volume confirmation, levels are only identified when significant volume (relative to the SMA of volume) appears. Each level is drawn horizontally in real time, and whenever the market breaks above a resistance level (and retests it), the script automatically converts that resistance into support. The opposite occurs if the market breaks below a support level.
Key Features:
Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Data
Select a higher timeframe for more robust S/R calculations.
The script fetches High, Low, Volume, and SMA of Volume from the chosen timeframe.
Automatic Role Reversal
Resistance becomes Support if a breakout retest occurs.
Support becomes Resistance if a breakdown retest occurs.
Dynamic Line Width & Labeling
Each S/R line’s thickness increases with additional touches, making frequently tested levels easier to spot.
Labels automatically display the number of touches (e.g., “R 3” or “S 2”) and can have adjustable text size.
Volume Threshold
Only significant pivots (where volume exceeds a specified multiplier of average volume) are plotted, reducing noise.
Horizontal Offset for Clarity
Lines are drawn with timestamps instead of bar_index, ensuring that old levels remain visible without chart limitations.
Adjustable Maximum Levels
Maintain a clean chart by limiting how many S/R lines remain at once.
How It Works:
Pivot Detection: The script identifies swing highs and lows from the higher timeframe (timeframeSR).
Volume Check: Only pivots with volume ≥ (SMA Volume * volumeThreshold) qualify.
Line Creation & Updates: New lines are drawn at these pivots, labeled “R #” or “S #,” indicating how many times they’ve been touched.
Role Reversal: If price breaks above a resistance and retests it from above, that line is removed from the resistance array and re-created in the support array (and vice versa).
Inputs:
Timeframe for S/R: Choose the higher timeframe for S/R calculations.
Swing Length: Number of bars to consider in a pivot calculation.
Minimum Touches: Minimum required touches before drawing or updating a level.
Volume Threshold (Multiplier): Determines how much volume (relative to SMA) is needed to confirm a pivot.
Maximum Number of Levels: Caps how many S/R lines can be shown at once.

Resistance & SupportThis indicator combines multiple analytical methods to calculate potential support and resistance levels for the upcoming trading day, leveraging historical price data. The calculations are based on three key areas:
Pivot Points: These are calculated using the previous day's high, low, and close values to provide central price levels, along with first and second-level support and resistance (S1, S2, R1, R2). These levels are commonly used in technical analysis and can serve as reference points for market entries and exits.
3-Day Price Average (3DBP): This value provides a short-term trend signal by averaging the high, low, and close prices over the past three days. The indicator helps identify whether the market has been trading at higher or lower levels recently, which can signal bullish or bearish trends.
Trend Detection: The script also includes a short-term and long-term trend analysis:
Short-Term Trend: The prior day’s 3DBP is compared to the previous day’s 3DBP to gauge the market's short-term direction.
Long-Term Trend: The prior close is compared to the open from 50 days ago, offering an indication of the overall market trend.
These components work together to provide actionable insights on potential entry points. For example:
In a bullish market, support levels may act as potential entry points for long trades when the price retraces.
In a bearish market, resistance levels may act as potential entry points for short trades upon price rejection.
The Trend Table at the top right of the chart displays the short-term and long-term trend information for quick reference. It shows whether the trends are bullish or bearish based on the calculations above.
While originally optimized for the EUR/USD currency pair, this indicator can be applied to other forex pairs. However, results may vary depending on the instrument, and further testing is recommended for non-EUR/USD pairs.
Usage Notes:
Pivot points can often act as both support and resistance. While they provide useful reference levels, in volatile markets, these levels may not always hold. Tight stop-losses are recommended if trading near these levels.
The 3DBP offers insight into past market behavior, and although it’s not guaranteed to act as support or resistance, it can help identify zones of interest in the short term.
This indicator is designed to provide a structured approach to price action analysis, incorporating widely-recognized methods like pivot points and trend detection, while adding unique elements like the 3DBP to enhance its utility.
Ultra Market StructureThe Ultra Market Structure indicator detects key market structure breaks, such as Break of Structure (BoS) and Change of Character (CHoCH), to help identify trend reversals. It plots lines and labels on the chart to visualize these breakpoints with alerts for important signals.
Introduction
This script is designed to help traders visualize important market structure events, such as trend breaks and reversals, using concepts like Break of Structure (BoS) and Change of Character (CHoCH). The indicator highlights internal and external price levels where the market shifts direction. It offers clear visual signals and alerts to keep traders informed of potential changes in the market trend.
Detailed Description
The indicator focuses on detecting "market structure breaks," which occur when the price moves past significant support or resistance levels, suggesting a potential reversal or continuation of the trend.
.........
Type of structure
Internal Structure: Focuses on smaller, shorter-term price levels within the current market trend.
External Structure: Focuses on larger, longer-term price levels that may indicate more significant shifts in the market.
.....
Key events
Break of Structure (BoS): A market structure break where the price surpasses a previous high (bullish BoS) or low (bearish BoS).
Change of Character (CHoCH): A shift in market behavior when the price fails to continue in the same direction, indicating a possible trend reversal.
Once a break or shift is detected, the script plots lines and labels on the chart to visually mark the breakpoints.
It also provides alerts when a BoS or CHoCH occurs, keeping traders informed in real-time.
The indicator can color the background and candles based on the market structure, making it easy to identify the current trend.
.....
Special feature
At news events or other momentum pushes most structure indicators will go into "sleep mode" because of too far away structure highs/lows. This indicator has a structure reset feature to solve this issue.
.........
Detects Break of Structure (BoS) and Change of Character (CHoCH) signals.
Marks internal and external support/resistance levels where market trends change.
Provides visual cues (lines, labels) and real-time alerts for structure breaks.
Offers background and candle color customization to highlight market direction.
Forex Heatmap█ OVERVIEW
This indicator creates a dynamic grid display of currency pair cross rates (exchange rates) and percentage changes, emulating the Cross Rates and Heat Map widgets available on our Forex page. It provides a view of realtime exchange rates for all possible pairs derived from a user-specified list of currencies, allowing users to monitor the relative performance of several currencies directly on a TradingView chart.
█ CONCEPTS
Foreign exchange
The Foreign Exchange (Forex/FX) market is the largest, most liquid financial market globally, with an average daily trading volume of over 5 trillion USD. Open 24 hours a day, five days a week, it operates through a decentralized network of financial hubs in various major cities worldwide. In this market, participants trade currencies in pairs , where the listed price of a currency pair represents the exchange rate from a given base currency to a specific quote currency . For example, the "EURUSD" pair's price represents the amount of USD (quote currency) that equals one unit of EUR (base currency). Globally, the most traded currencies include the U.S. dollar (USD), Euro (EUR), Japanese yen (JPY), British pound (GBP), and Australian dollar (AUD), with USD involved in over 87% of all trades.
Understanding the Forex market is essential for traders and investors, even those who do not trade currency pairs directly, because exchange rates profoundly affect global markets. For instance, fluctuations in the value of USD can impact the demand for U.S. exports or the earnings of companies that handle multinational transactions, either of which can affect the prices of stocks, indices, and commodities. Additionally, since many factors influence exchange rates, including economic policies and interest rate changes, analyzing the exchange rates across currencies can provide insight into global economic health.
█ FEATURES
Requesting a list of currencies
This indicator requests data for every valid currency pair combination from the list of currencies defined by the "Currency list" input in the "Settings/Inputs" tab. The list can contain up to six unique currency codes separated by commas, resulting in a maximum of 30 requested currency pairs.
For example, if the specified "Currency list" input is "CAD, USD, EUR", the indicator requests and displays relevant data for six currency pair combinations: "CADUSD", "USDCAD", "CADEUR", "EURCAD", "USDEUR", "EURUSD". See the "Grid display" section below to understand how the script organizes the requested information.
Each item in the comma-separated list must represent a valid currency code. If the "Currency list" input contains an invalid currency code, the corresponding cells for that currency in the "Cross rates" or "Heat map" grid show "NaN" values. If the list contains empty items, e.g., "CAD, ,EUR, ", the indicator ignores them in its data requests and calculations.
NOTE: Some uncommon currency pair combinations might not have data feeds available. If no available symbols provide the exchange rates between two specified currencies, the corresponding table cells show "NaN" results.
Realtime data
The indicator retrieves realtime market prices, daily price changes, and minimum tick sizes for all the currency pairs derived from the "Currency list" input. It updates the retrieved information shown in its grid display after new ticks become available to reflect the latest known values.
NOTE: Pine scripts execute on realtime bars only when new ticks are available in the chart's data feed. If no new updates are available from the chart's realtime feed, it may cause a delay in the data the indicator receives.
Grid display
This indicator displays the requested data for each currency pair in a table with cells organized as a grid. Each row name corresponds to a pair's base currency , and each column name corresponds to a quote currency . The cell at the intersection of a specific row and column shows the value requested from the corresponding currency pair.
For example, the cell at the intersection of a "EUR" row and "USD" column shows the data retrieved for the "EURUSD" currency pair, and the cell at the "USD" row and "EUR" column shows data for the inverse pair ("USDEUR").
Note that the main diagonal cells in the table, where rows and columns with the same names intersect, are blank. The exchange rate from one currency to itself is always 1, and no Forex symbols such as "EUREUR" exist.
The dropdown input at the top of the "Settings/Inputs" tab determines the type of information displayed in the table. Two options are available: "Cross rates" and "Heat map" . Both modes color their cells for light and dark themes separately based on the inputs in the "Colors" section.
Cross rates
When a user selects the "Cross rates" display mode, the table's cells show the latest available exchange rate for each currency pair, emulating the behavior of the Cross Rates widget. Each cell's value represents the amount of the quote currency (column name) that equals one unit of the base currency (row name). This display allows users to compare cross rates across currency pairs, and their inverses.
The background color of each cell changes based on the most recent update to the exchange rate, allowing users to monitor the direction of short-term fluctuations as they occur. By default, the background turns green (positive cell color) when the cross rate increases from the last recorded update and red (negative cell color) when the rate decreases. The cell's color reverts to the chart's background color after no new updates are available for 200 milliseconds.
Heat map
When a user selects the "Heat map" display mode, the table's cells show the latest daily percentage change of each currency pair, emulating the behavior of the Heat Map widget.
In this mode, the background color of each cell depends on the corresponding currency pair's daily performance. Heat maps typically use colors that vary in intensity based on the calculated values. This indicator uses the following color coding by default:
• Green (Positive cell color): Percentage change > +0.1%
• No color: Percentage change between 0.0% and +0.1%
• Bright red (Negative cell color): Percentage change < -0.1%
• Lighter/darker red (Minor negative cell color): Percentage change between 0.0% and -0.1%
█ FOR Pine Script™ CODERS
• This script utilizes dynamic requests to iteratively fetch information from multiple contexts using a single request.security() instance in the code. Previously, `request.*()` functions were not allowed within the local scopes of loops or conditional structures, and most `request.*()` function parameters, excluding `expression`, required arguments of a simple or weaker qualified type. The new `dynamic_requests` parameter in script declaration statements enables more flexibility in how scripts can use `request.*()` calls. When its value is `true`, all `request.*()` functions can accept series arguments for the parameters that define their requested contexts, and `request.*()` functions can execute within local scopes. See the Dynamic requests section of the Pine Script™ User Manual to learn more.
• Scripts can execute up to 40 unique `request.*()` function calls. A `request.*()` call is unique only if the script does not already call the same function with the same arguments. See this section of the User Manual's Limitations page for more information.
• Typically, when requesting higher-timeframe data with request.security() using barmerge.lookahead_on as the `lookahead` argument, the `expression` argument should use the history-referencing operator to offset the series, preventing lookahead bias on historical bars. However, the request.security() call in this script uses barmerge.lookahead_on without offsetting the `expression` because the script only displays results for the latest historical bar and all realtime bars, where there is no future information to leak into the past. Instead, using this call on those bars ensures each request fetches the most recent data available from each context.
• The request.security() instance in this script includes a `calc_bars_count` argument to specify that each request retrieves only a minimal number of bars from the end of each symbol's historical data feed. The script does not need to request all the historical data for each symbol because it only shows results on the last chart bar that do not depend on the entire time series. In this case, reducing the retrieved bars in each request helps minimize resource usage without impacting the calculated results.

Dynamic Buy/Sell VisualizationDynamic Trend Visualization Indicator
Description:
This simple and easy to use indicator has helped me stay in trades longer.
This indicator is designed to visually represent potential buy and sell signals based on the crossover of two Simple Moving Averages (SMA). It's crafted to assist traders in identifying trend directions in a straightforward manner, making it an excellent tool for both beginners and experienced traders.
Features:
Customizable Moving Averages: Users can adjust the period length for both short-term (default: 10) and long-term (default: 50) SMAs to suit their trading strategy.
Visual Signals: Dynamic lines appear at the points of SMA crossover, with labels to indicate 'BUY' or 'SELL' opportunities.
Color and Style Customization: Customize the appearance of the buy and sell lines for better chart readability.
Alert Functionality: Alerts are set up to notify users when a crossover indicating a buy or sell condition occurs.
How It Works:
A 'BUY' signal is generated when the short-term SMA crosses above the long-term SMA, suggesting an upward trend.
A 'SELL' signal is indicated when the short-term SMA crosses below the long-term SMA, pointing to a potential downward trend.
Use Cases:
Trend Following: Ideal for markets with clear trends. For example, if trading EUR/USD on a daily chart, setting the short SMA to 10 days and the long SMA to 50 days might help in capturing longer-term trends.
Scalping: In a volatile market, setting shorter periods (e.g., 5 for short SMA and 20 for long SMA) might catch quicker trend changes, suitable for scalping.
Examples of how to use
* Short-term for Quick Trades:
SMA 5 and SMA 21:
Purpose: This combination is tailored for day traders or those looking to engage in scalping. The 5 SMA will react rapidly to price changes, providing early signals for buy or sell opportunities. The 21 SMA, being a Fibonacci number, offers a slightly longer-term view to confirm the short-term trend, helping to filter out minor fluctuations that might lead to false signals.
* Middle-term for Swing Trading:
SMA 10 and SMA 50:
Purpose: Suited for swing traders who aim to capitalize on medium-term trends. The 10 SMA picks up on immediate market movements, while the 50 SMA gives insight into the medium-term direction. This setup helps in identifying when a short-term trend aligns with a longer-term trend, providing a good balance for trades that might last several days to a couple of weeks.
* Long-term Trading:
SMA 50 and SMA 200:
Purpose: Investors focusing on long-term trends would benefit from this pair. The crossover of the 50 SMA over the 200 SMA can indicate the beginning or end of major market trends, ideal for making decisions about long-term holdings that might span months or years.
Example Strategy if not using the Buy / Sell Label Alerts:
Entry Signal: Enter a long position when the shorter SMA crosses above the longer SMA. For example:
SMA 10 crosses above SMA 50 for a medium-term bullish signal.
Exit Signal: Consider exiting or initiating a short position when:
SMA 10 crosses below SMA 50, suggesting a bearish turn in the medium-term trend.
Confirmation: Use these crossovers in conjunction with other indicators like volume or momentum indicators for better confirmation. For instance, if you're using the 5/21 combination, look for volume spikes on crossovers to confirm the move's strength.
When Not to Use:
Sideways or Range-Bound Markets: The indicator might generate many false signals in a non-trending market, leading to potential losses.
High Volatility Without Clear Trends: Rapid price movements without a consistent direction can result in misleading crossovers.
As a Standalone Tool: It should not be used in isolation. Combining with other indicators like RSI or MACD for confirmation can enhance trading decisions.
Practical Example:
Buy Signal: If you're watching Apple Inc. (AAPL) on a weekly chart, a crossover where the 10-week SMA moves above the 50-week SMA could suggest a buying opportunity, especially if confirmed by volume increase or other technical indicators.
Sell Signal: Conversely, if the 10-week SMA dips below the 50-week SMA, it might be time to consider selling, particularly if other bearish signals are present.
Conclusion:
The "Dynamic Trend Visualization" indicator provides a visual aid for trend-following strategies, offering customization and alert features to streamline the trading process. However, it's crucial to use this in conjunction with other analysis methods to mitigate the risks of false signals or market anomalies.

Usage Instructions
Load the indicator, set the minute period, and choose the long or short mode. Depending on your trading strategy, decide whether to display the day's stop-loss percentage. When switching symbols, if the current K-bar has no movement, the indicator may temporarily not display information. This is normal behavior. Please wait for the next K-bar or manually refresh.
Basic Logic
The indicator calculates and displays the loss percentage based on the high or low of the current K-bar and the day's high or low, helping traders understand potential stop-loss risks in real-time. Users can adjust parameters such as color and transparency to ensure the indicator displays clearly and meets their expectations.
Notes
When switching symbols, if the K-bar has no movement, the indicator may not immediately update. This is due to Pine Script requiring data changes to trigger calculations. This indicator is ideal for users who frequently engage in day trading, helping you better manage risk and make timely decisions.
Additionally, please note that in the Chinese version of TradingView, the long/short options might be translated as "Short-term" and "Long-term," but this does not affect the functionality of the indicator.
Market Internals: VolumeThe indicator plots the total volume of the NYSE and NASDAQ exchanges and identifies periods with significant asymmetry between Up Volume and Down Volume. It can be used as an additional tool to confirm broad market sentiment.
Chart shows Total Volume (TVOL) bars for SPY daily chart. Green bars for UVOL>>DVOL, Red for DVOL>>UVOL. Neutral bars are gray. Blue line shows median TVOL.
Rationale:
Up Volume (UVOL) and Down Volume (DVOL) represent the total volume of stocks that have increased or decreased in price, respectively, compared to the previous session's closing price. The magnitude of the price change is irrelevant.
When UVOL is significantly higher than DVOL, it indicates a prevailing buying sentiment in the broad market. Conversely, when DVOL is higher, it signals prevailing selling sentiment.
Occasionally, the UVOL/DVOL (VOLD) ratio may be misaligned with the movement of the S&P index. The picture below illustrates an example of a day when the S&P declined, yet the UVOL was twice larger than DVOL. Such a divergence can suggest that the S&P was pulled down by a decline in a few large-cap stocks, while the broader market remained positive. In this case, the divergence led to a continuation of the rally.
Thus, VOLD, when combined with volume analysis, can be an effective tool for confirming market trends.
Parameters:
VOLD Ratio – minimum ratio of UVOL/DVOL or DVOL/UVOL. Indicator will color code volume columns when condition is true (“green” means buying; “red” selling).
Median Length – number of periods to calculate median TVOL.
Show Divergencies – indicator marks divergencies between price and volume sentiments on the main chart. Only works for SPY chart.
Users can also choose which exchanges (NASDAQ/NYSE) to use for volume calculation.
Notes:
Volume is shown in millions of contracts
Indicator should be used on the daily or higher timeframes. It won't work properly on the intraday charts
Disclaimer
This indicator should not be used as a standalone tool to make trading decisions but only in conjunction with other technical analysis methods.

Market Structure Based Stop LossMarket Structure Based Dynamic Stop Loss
Introduction
The Market Structure Based Stop Loss indicator is a strategic tool for traders designed to be useful in both rigorous backtesting and live testing, by providing an objective, “guess-free” stop loss level. This indicator dynamically plots suggested stop loss levels based on market structure, and the concepts of “interim lows/highs.”
It provides a robust framework for managing risk in both long and short positions. By leveraging historical price movements and real time market dynamics, this indicator helps traders identify quantitatively consistent risk levels while optimizing trade returns.
Legend
This indicator utilizes various inputs to customize its functionality, including "Stop Loss Sensitivity" and "Wick Depth," which dictate how closely the stop loss levels hug the price's highs and lows. The stop loss levels are plotted as lines on the trading chart, providing clear visual cues for position management. As seen in the chart below, this indicator dynamically plots stop loss levels for both long and short positions at every point in time.
A “Stop Loss Table” is also included, in order to enhance precision trading and increase backtesting accuracy. It is customizable in both size and positioning.
Case Study
Methodology
The methodology behind this indicator focuses on the precision placement of stop losses using market structure as a guide. It calculates stop losses by identifying the "lowest close" and the corresponding "lowest low" for long setups, and inversely for short setups. By adjusting the sensitivity settings, traders can tweak the indicator's responsiveness to price changes, ensuring that the stop losses are set with a balance between tight risk control and enough room to avoid premature exits due to market noise. The indicator's ability to adapt to different trading styles and time frames makes it an essential tool for traders aiming for efficiency and effectiveness in their risk management strategies.
An important point to make is the fact that the stop loss levels are always placed within the wicks. This is important to avoid what can be described as a “floating stop loss”. A stop loss placed outside of a wick is susceptible to an outsized degree of slippage. This is because traders always cluster their stop losses at high/low wicks, and a stop loss placed outside of this level will inevitably be caught in a low liquidity cascade or “wash-out.” When price approaches a cluster of stop losses, it is highly probable that you will be stopped out anyway, so it is prudent to attempt to be the trader who gets stopped out first in order to avoid high slippage, and losses above what you originally intended.
// For long positions: stop-loss is slightly inside the lowest wick
float dynamic_SL_Long = lowestClose - (lowestClose - lowestLow) * (1 - WickDepth)
// For short positions: stop-loss is slightly inside the highest wick
float dynamic_SL_Short = highestClose + (highestHigh - highestClose) * (1 - WickDepth)
The percentage depth of the wick in which the stop loss is placed is customisable with the “Wick Depth” variable, in order to customize stop loss strategies around the liquidity of the market a trader is executing their orders in.
ToxicJ3ster - Day Trading SignalsThis Pine Script™ indicator, "ToxicJ3ster - Signals for Day Trading," is designed to assist traders in identifying key trading signals for day trading. It employs a combination of Moving Averages, RSI, Volume, ATR, ADX, Bollinger Bands, and VWAP to generate buy and sell signals. The script also incorporates multiple timeframe analysis to enhance signal accuracy. It is optimized for use on the 5-minute chart.
Purpose:
This script uniquely combines various technical indicators to create a comprehensive and reliable day trading strategy. Each indicator serves a specific purpose, and their integration is designed to provide multiple layers of confirmation for trading signals, reducing false signals and increasing trading accuracy.
1. Moving Averages: These are used to identify the overall trend direction. By calculating short and long period Moving Averages, the script can detect bullish and bearish crossovers, which are key signals for entering and exiting trades.
2. RSI Filtering: The Relative Strength Index (RSI) helps filter signals by ensuring trades are only taken in favorable market conditions. It detects overbought and oversold levels and trends within the RSI to confirm market momentum.
3. Volume and ATR Conditions: Volume and ATR multipliers are used to identify significant market activity. The script checks for volume spikes and volatility to confirm the strength of trends and avoid false signals.
4. ADX Filtering: The ADX is used to confirm the strength of a trend. By filtering out weak trends, the script focuses on strong and reliable signals, enhancing the accuracy of trade entries and exits.
5. Bollinger Bands: Bollinger Bands provide additional context for the trend and help identify potential reversal points. The script uses Bollinger Bands to avoid false signals and ensure trades are taken in trending markets.
6. Higher Timeframe Analysis: This feature ensures that signals align with broader market trends by using higher timeframe Moving Averages for trend confirmation. It adds a layer of robustness to the signals generated on the 5-minute chart.
7. VWAP Integration: VWAP is used for intraday trading signals. By calculating the VWAP and generating buy and sell signals based on its crossover with the price, the script provides additional confirmation for trade entries.
8. MACD Analysis: The MACD line, signal line, and histogram are calculated to generate additional buy/sell signals. The MACD is used to detect changes in the strength, direction, momentum, and duration of a trend.
9. Alert System: Custom alerts are integrated to notify traders of potential trading opportunities based on the signals generated by the script.
How It Works:
- Trend Detection: The script calculates short and long period Moving Averages and identifies bullish and bearish crossovers to determine the trend direction.
- Signal Filtering: RSI, Volume, ATR, and ADX are used to filter and confirm signals, ensuring trades are taken in strong and favorable market conditions.
- Multiple Timeframe Analysis: The script uses higher timeframe Moving Averages to confirm trends, aligning signals with broader market movements.
- Additional Confirmations: VWAP, MACD, and Bollinger Bands provide multiple layers of confirmation for buy and sell signals, enhancing the reliability of the trading strategy.
Usage:
- Customize the input parameters to suit your trading strategy and preferences.
- Monitor the generated signals and alerts to make informed trading decisions.
- This script is made to work best on the 5-minute chart.
Disclaimer:
This indicator is not perfect and can generate false signals. It is up to the trader to determine how they would like to proceed with their trades. Always conduct thorough research and consider seeking advice from a financial professional before making trading decisions. Use this script at your own risk.
