Source : The selected price type (e.g., "Close", "HL2").
Keep History : Indicates whether lines are preserved (On) or deleted (Off).
Tips for Optimal Use
Use Daily Timeframes for Long-Term Analysis :
Daily (1D) allows 10+ years of data. Smaller timeframes (60m/15m) may have limited historical coverage.
Compare Recurring Patterns :
Look for overlaps between historical polylines and current price to identify potential support/resistance levels.
Customize Colors & Widths :
Use contrasting colors for years you want to highlight. Adjust line widths to avoid clutter.
Leverage Global Toggles :
Enable Show All Years for a quick overview. Use Keep History for All to maintain continuity across transitions.
Example Workflow

Set History Precision = 1D for long-term data.
Customize :
Enable Show Year -1 to Show Year -5.
Assign distinct colors to each year.
Disable Keep History for All to ensure lines update on year transitions.
Analyze :
Observe how the 2023 close prices align with 2024’s price action.
Use vertical lines to identify yearly boundaries.
Common Questions
Why are some years missing?
Ensure the chart has sufficient historical data (e.g., daily charts cover 10 years, 60m/15m may only cover 1–3 years).
How do I update the data?
Adjust the Price Source or toggle years/history settings. The legend table updates automatically.
Gann
Range + VWAP + Gann Levels + ZL AMA + Gann Square Num# Multi-Strategy Market Analysis Indicator
## Overview
This comprehensive indicator combines several powerful technical analysis tools to help traders identify potential price movements, market trends, and key support/resistance levels. By integrating price range prediction, volume-weighted averages, adaptive moving averages, and Gann-based mathematical levels, this indicator provides a complete toolkit for market analysis.
## Components & How They Work
### 1. Range Calculator
**What it does:** Calculates the expected price range based on current volatility, useful for predicting potential price movements during a specific time period.
**How it works:**
- Uses the current price level and VIX (Volatility Index) to estimate how far the price might move in a given number of days
- Applies the square root of time principle (volatility grows with the square root of time)
- Displays upper and lower bounds of the expected price range
- Shows the calculation details in a convenient table
**How to use it:**
- Enter the current price level, VIX value, and number of days
- red line indicates potential resistance
- green line indicates potential support
- Useful for options trading, setting stop-loss levels, or preparing for upcoming market events
### 2. Gann Square Numbers
**What it does:** Identifies mathematically significant price levels based on square numbers.
**How it works:**
- Takes the square root of the current price
- Calculates the next 5 square numbers above the current price (upper levels)
- Calculates the 5 square numbers below the current price (lower levels)
- Draws these levels as horizontal lines on the chart
**How to use it:**
- Pink lines (upper levels) show potential resistance levels
- Blue lines (lower levels) show potential support levels
- These mathematical levels often coincide with significant market reactions
- Based on W.D. Gann's theory that price tends to respect mathematical square numbers
### 3. Zero Lag Adaptive Moving Average (AMA)
Bullish Scenario
Bearish Scenario
**What it does:** Provides a dynamic moving average that adapts to changing market conditions, reducing lag during trends while filtering noise during sideways markets.
**How it works:**
- Calculates an "Efficiency Ratio" that measures the directional movement relative to volatility
- Adjusts the smoothing factor based on market efficiency
- Uses a faster smoothing factor during trending markets and slower smoothing during sideways markets
- Background color changes to indicate the trend direction (green for uptrend, red for downtrend)
**How to use it:**
- When price is above the AMA line with green background: Strong uptrend
- When price is below the AMA line with red background: Strong downtrend
- Helpful for trend identification and potential entry/exit points
### 4. Gann Stepline Levels
**What it does:** Creates dynamic support and resistance levels based on multiple SMAs (Simple Moving Averages) of different lengths.
**How it works:**
- Calculates two key dynamic levels:
- Gann 50% Level: Average of 90 and 144-period SMAs
- Gann Level: Average of six different SMAs (90, 144, 180, 216, 240, 288)
- These levels adjust automatically as the market evolves
**How to use it:**
- Blue line (Gann 50% Level) acts as dynamic support in uptrends and resistance in downtrends
- Orange line (Gann Level) serves as a longer-term trend indicator
- Price interaction with these levels often indicates potential reversal or continuation points
### 5. Anchored VWAP (Volume-Weighted Average Price)
**What it does:** Shows the average price weighted by volume starting from a specific anchor point.
**How it works:**
- Calculates the average price weighted by volume from a chosen anchor period (Session, Day, Week, Month)
- Resets calculations at the beginning of each new period
- Shows where the current price is relative to the average trading price
**How to use it:**
- Price above VWAP: Bullish bias, buyers are in control
- Price below VWAP: Bearish bias, sellers are in control
- VWAP often acts as dynamic support/resistance level
- Institutional traders often use VWAP for order execution
## Key Benefits
- **Comprehensive Analysis:** Combines volatility-based, trend-following, volume-weighted, and mathematical approaches
- **Multi-timeframe Perspective:** Different components operate on various timeframes for a complete market view
- **Visual Clarity:** Color-coded lines and background help quickly identify market conditions
- **Customizable Components:** Range Calculator, VWAP, and Gann Square Numbers can be adjusted to fit your trading style
## How to Interpret When Used Together
- **Strong Trend Confirmation:** When AMA shows a trend and price respects the Gann Dynamic levels
- **Reversal Signals:** When price reaches the expected range bounds and encounters a Gann Square Number
- **High-Probability Zones:** Areas where multiple components show support/resistance at similar levels
- **Volatility Assessment:** Compare the expected range from the Range Calculator with the actual price movement
This indicator combines statistical, trend-following, and mathematical approaches to market analysis, providing traders with a well-rounded view of market conditions and potential price movements.

Gann Percentage of High & Low Prices for Options - Keanu_RiTzThis Indicator is based on the text from Chapter 4 "Percentage of High & Low Prices" page number "30" from the book "WD Gann 45 years in Wall Street".
This Indicator is to be used on Intraday Timeframes and only on Options Charts (CALL & PUT) and not on any other chart.
The following is the text from that page :-
One of the greatest discoveries I ever made was how to figure the percentage of high and low prices on the averages and individual stocks.
The percentages of extreme high and low levels indicate future resistance levels.
There is a relation between every low price to some future high price and a percentage of the low price indicates what levels to expect the next high price.
At this price you can sell out long stocks and sell short with a limited risk.
The extreme high price or any minor tops are related to future bottoms er low levels.
The percentage of the high price tells where to expect low prices in the future and gives you resistance levels where you can buy with a limited risk.
The most important resistance level is 50% of any high or low price.
Second in importance is 100% on the lowest selling price on the averages or individual stocks.
You must also use 200%, 300%, 400%, 500%, 600% or more, depending upon the price and the Time Periods from High and Low.
Third in importance is 25% of the Lowest price or the Highest price.
Fourth in importance is 121/2% of the extreme Low or extreme High price.
Fifth in importance is 61/4% of the Highest price, but this is only to be used when the averages or individual stocks are selling at very high levels.
Sixth in importance is 33 1/3 and 66 2/3%. These percentages should be calculated and watched for resistance next after 25% and after 50%.
You should always have percentage tables made up on the Industrial Averages and on the individual stocks you trade in in order to know where these important resistance levels are located.
Description :
It plots the Intraday % levels from the highest high and lowest low of that day.
The calculation of these levels is based on the text from Chapter 4 "Percentage of High & Low Prices" page number "30" from the book "WD Gann 45 years in Wall Street".
I developed this indicator to see if those percentages work on Options prices or not,
and from my observation I found that it works wonderfully in Options as well.
These % levels work like magic and act as great Dynamic Support and Resistance levels.
Don't trust my words blindly and see for yourself.
This indicator is for educational and research purpose only.
It does not provide any BUY/SELL signals.
Gann LV Price/Time (EN)Gann LV Price/Time
This indicator is based on William Gann’s methods, the Law of Vibration, and classic wave analysis. Unlike traditional Gann tools, it employs adaptive trend analysis, combining angular acceleration, price-to-time ratio, and resonance zones. This allows for more precise identification of key support and resistance levels and enhances the ability to forecast potential trend reversals.
🔹 Key Features
✔ Customizable key points (A, B, C) – the user selects three significant points that form the basis of the analysis.
✔ Price calculation methods – the option to consider candle wicks, candle bodies, or an average price.
✔ Automatic trend structure analysis – the indicator determines whether the market is in an impulse or corrective phase.
✔ Support and resistance level forecasting – based on Gann’s Law of Vibration, making calculations dynamic.
✔ Identification of time-based reversal zones – key time cycles that influence trends are analyzed.
✔ Price resonance zones – special areas where the price reaches maximum sensitivity and may reverse direction.
✔ Market noise filtering – intelligent smoothing and volatility adaptation techniques are applied.
🔹 How Does the Indicator Work?
1️⃣ Defining Key Points A, B, C
These points serve as the foundation of the analysis, helping to determine trend direction and potential reversal zones.
2️⃣ Angular Acceleration Analysis
The indicator assesses whether the angle between points is accelerating or decelerating, allowing traders to identify trend strength and potential turning points.
3️⃣ Detection of Price Resonance Zones
Every market has its own natural vibration frequencies—moments when the price is most susceptible to trend shifts. The indicator analyzes these patterns and identifies key levels where reversals may occur.
4️⃣ Identification of Time-Based Trend Reversal Zones
Time cycles play a crucial role in price movements. By analyzing market rhythm patterns, the indicator forecasts probable trend reversal points, providing additional confirmation for trading decisions.
🔹 What Are Price Resonance Zones?
Resonance zones are areas on the chart where the price encounters an "invisible barrier" based on Gann’s Law of Vibration. These zones form when natural price and time rhythms align, creating an effect similar to acoustic or mechanical resonance.
Within these zones:
Trends slow down or accelerate.
There is a high probability of a reversal.
Key support and resistance levels become stronger.
The indicator automatically identifies these intersections, helping traders find optimal entry and exit points.
🔹 Where to Apply It?
✔ For identifying entry and exit points – helps detect the most probable trend reversal zones.
✔ For market cycle analysis – understanding market rhythms enables more accurate forecasting.
✔ For filtering false breakouts – resonance zones can confirm or invalidate potential breakouts.
📌 Important: This indicator does not guarantee profits; it serves as a supportive tool for comprehensive technical analysis.
Original Gann Swing Chart Rules [AlgoFuego]🔵 Original Gann Swing Chart Rules
An advanced indicator built on W.D. Gann’s original rules, enhanced with innovative mechanical trend-following methods.
🔹 Description
This indicator functions by balancing short-term adaptability with long-term trend analysis.
The indicator incorporates Gann’s principles alongside mechanical trend-following techniques to offer a structured method for analyzing trends and detecting potential market reversals.
Golden Rule: Non-trend bars are excluded from analysis, and each new bar is compared with the previous trend bar, it highlights significant swing points with greater clarity.
🔸 The core concept behind the golden rule on which this indicator is built.
The person watching the tide coming, wanting to pinpoint the exact spot that signals the high tide, places a stick in the sand at the points where the incoming waves reach until the stick reaches a position where the waves no longer rise, and eventually recedes enough to show that the tide has shifted.
This method is effective for monitoring and identifying tides and floods in the stock market.
🔸Rule 1: The trend bar is everything.
→It is a bar that forms a new high, low, or both.
🔸Rule 2: The professional traders track new highs and lows.
🔸Rule 3: The hidden bar is nothing.
→It is a bar that does not form a new high, low, or both.
🔸Rule 4: The sea has a wavy nature, and the market as well.
🔸Rule 5: The slope is the immediate direction of the swing.
Downward slope
→The downslope is the descending slope of a swing, shows a decline, reflecting a bearish price trend.
Upward slope
→The upslope is the ascending slope of a swing, shows an incline, reflecting a bullish price trend.
🔸Rule 6: The start and end of the movement are the swing points.
→The lowest or highest price of the last bar in the direction of the slope represents the swing point after the slopes direction changes.
Valley
→It is the lowest price of the last bar in a downslope before the market turns to a upslope.
End=> Downward slope and Start=> Upward slope
Peak
→It is the highest price of the last bar in a upslope before the market turns to an downslope.
End=> Upward slope and Start=> Downward slope
🔸Rule 7: The Golden Rule: Ignore all no-trend bars and compare the new bar with the previous trend bar.
→Applying the golden rule in upward slope
→Applying the golden rule in downward slope
🔸 Related content: Personal words of W.D Gann from the book Wall Street Stock Selector.
→"This was only one month's reaction the same as March 1925. The market held in a dull narrow range for about 2 months while accumulation was taking place and in June the main trend turned up again."
→The beginning of the main trend and the formation of the Valley.
→The beginning of the main trend and the formation of the Peak.
🔸 Rule 8: The Closing Price of the Bar to Understand Movement Direction.
Sequence is important
→ Downward bar
→ Upward bar
🔸 Outside Bar Rules
→Explanation of rules and calculations.
🔸 How does a trend start?
Upward trend
Trend change from Downward to Upward.
Prices must take out the nearest 'Peak' and the Trend was previously Downward.
A breakout above the previous peak signals a bullish reversal.
→ Model 1 - Dropping Valley Reversal
The market forms a dropping valley, followed by a breakout above the previous peak.
→ Model 2 - Equal Valley Reversal
The market forms an equal valley, followed by a breakout above the previous peak.
→ Model 3 - Rising Valley Reversal
The market forms a rising valley, followed by a breakout above the previous peak.
Downward trend
Trend change from Upward to Downward.
Prices must take out the nearest ‘Valley' and the Trend was previously Upward.
A breakdown below the previous valley signals a bearish reversal.
→ Model 1 - Rising Peak Reversal
The market forms a rising peak, followed by a breakdown below the previous valley.
→ Model 2 - Equal Peak Reversal
The market forms an equal peak, followed by a breakdown below the previous valley.
→ Model 3 - Dropping Peak Reversal
The market forms a dropping peak, followed by a breakdown below the previous valley.
🔸 The fractal nature of markets
Rising wave
→ The rising wave is the entire bull market between turning points
High point : When the Main trend turns from upward to downward, the peak of the primary trend is formed.
Dropping wave
→ The Dropping wave is the entire bear market between turning points.
Low point : When the Main trend turns from downward to upward, the primary trend valley is formed.
Fractal nature application.
Everything in one picture.
🔹 Features

TECHNICAL IMPLEMENTATION:
Indicator:
- Automatically determines the appropriate point values depending on the instrument.
- Calculates Gann levels using the mathematical principle of Square 9.
- Finds the nearest support and resistance levels relative to the current price.
- Creates visualizations based on both charts and lines.
- Dynamically updates as price moves.
USAGE:
This indicator is especially useful for swing traders and day traders who follow Gann methods. The combination of price levels (support/resistance) and time markers (vertical lines) helps identify potential reversal zones where price and time align according to Gann principles.
The previous day's 4-hour rectangular frame often serves as an important reference zone that price can return to or respect.
The indicator works on all timeframes, but is most effective on charts from 15-minute to 4-hour charts, where time-based components provide the most value.
Price to Bar Ratio - Scale / Scales / ScalingPrice to Bar Ratio - Scaling
The Price to Bar Ratio - Scaling indicator for TradingView is designed for traders who utilize Gann-based techniques, Michael Jenkins methodologies, or geometric market analysis. It calculates the relationship between price movement and time (bars), providing a bar-to-price ratio that traders can use to align their charts with structured scaling methods.
Key Features:
• Geometry-Based Scaling – Designed for traders using market geometry, time/price balancing, or cycle analysis.
• Automatic Ratio Calculation – Computes a bar-to-price ratio based on price movement and time.
• Square & Rectangle Modes – Provides different scaling approaches to suit various analytical methods.
• Balanced Chart Structure – Helps maintain a proportional relationship between price and time.
• Customizable Inputs – Adjustable parameters for flexibility across different markets, assets, and timeframes.
How to Use:
1. Apply the Price to Bar Ratio - Scaling indicator to your TradingView chart.
2. Enable Magnet Mode in TradingView to help anchor points snap accurately to price levels.
3. Manually select your range using the four anchor points to define the area for calculation.
4. The indicator will generate a table displaying the calculated bar-to-price ratio.
5. Copy the recommended value from the table.
6. Open the chart settings in TradingView.
7. Locate the "Lock Price to Bar Ratio" input field.
8. Paste the copied ratio value into the input field and apply the changes.
9. Due to TradingView's limitations on the magnet option for anchor points, it is recommended to add a new instance of the indicator rather than dragging the anchor points to a new range. This prevents unwanted snapping behavior and ensures accurate recalculations.
Will be adding more formulas in the future.

Auto Gannbox by BULL┃NETThe B | N GABO (Auto Gannbox by BULL | NET)
indicator helps traders to draw a Gann Box with Angles and Arches automatically. Unlike the many other Gann indictors available at TradingView B | N GABO takes an objective approach to calculate the Price/Time ratio which is the most important part of drawing a Gann Box.
█ ⚠️ DISCLAIMER – READ BEFORE YOU USE ⚠️
█ CONCEPTS
William Delbert Gann used geometric constructions to divide time and price into proportionate parts to predict price development and areas of resistance and support. If you are new to Gann theories you should read about it on the internet.
W.D. Gann never revealed all details about his theory. One of those secrets it how he determined the essential 45° degree line which denotes the 1:1 ratio between price and time. Many people believe the 45° is due to the use of graph paper on which stock prices were drawn in the past. In my opinion, this theory fails precisely because of the price. Even back in time different stocks and commodities had different prices. So what should have been specified on the Y-axis?
Others believe there was no rule of construction at all and that Gann simply drew lines between pivot points. Gann was obsessed by Geometry. It makes no sense to think he had no plan. And if this would be true the Angles would be the result of how the graph paper has been manufactured.
Long story short, we don’t know exactly how he did it, and even studying his drawings leaves us guessing. I’m deeply interested in the objective assessment of facts. If something can’t be reproduced consistently, then it was just luck or coincidence. That’s why I’ve developed my own approach, combining objectivity, geometry, and time into a system that allows us to automatically determine a 45° line on the chart for any asset in any timeframe (see limitations section).
Think about the lifecycle of a tree: it’s planted, grows, may be struck by lightning, decays, and eventually vanishes. Apply this concept to the price of an asset. It starts at a low, rises to a peak, and then decreases to the next low. If we measure the time between the first low and the high, we get a ratio between duration and growth. By applying this ratio to a line starting at the high and moving in the opposite direction, we can determine whether the price is falling faster or slower than it took to rise.
By constructing a Gann Box around this line, with the 45° line as the anchor and adding other angles and arcs, we can get a better sense of how the price might develop over time. This interpretation draws inspiration from the principles of geometry and time-based analysis, and reflects my own unique take on market behavior.
The B | N GABO indicator uses meaningful pivot points on the chart to determine cycles. This is an objective approach that takes momentum into account. Similar to a tree, there are times of slower growth or accelerated decay. The pivot levels are based on the time frame. For example, when looking at a weekly chart, a cycle lasting at least 3 months would be considered meaningful. Therefore, the indicator uses Level 10 pivot points (a high with 10 lower highs or a low with 10 higher lows on each side) on a weekly chart. Instead of doing this automatically, you can set the pivot level manually. (See limitations section)
█ FEATURES
As with all my indicators B | N GABO his highly customizable.
— PIVOPOINT OPTIONS
The most important setting is how pivot points get calculated. By default the pivot level is selected automatically according to the timeframe of the chart.

Double Numbered Triangle Chart Progression | RegressionThe Double-Numbered Triangle Progression | Regression Indicator enables forecasting of support and resistance levels by progressing or regressing on the Triangle Chart from a user-selected pivot price. The indicator also plots adjustable pivots on both the chart and the Triangle Price and Time Chart.
How to use to forecast support and resistance levels:
1. Select a Pivot Point: Set the correct price to the pivot by selecting High or Low in the indicator.
2. Set Price Increment: Choose a price increment to adjust the starting price on the Triangle Chart (e.g., 1 or -0.01).
3. Rotate to adjust the number of levels on the Triangle Chart.
4. Plot Levels: Choose the Left Edge, Center, or Right Edge of the Triangle Chart to plot support and resistance levels. These levels automatically expand or decrease depending on the number of levels in step 3. The selected angle's price values are applied to the chart with labels on both sides. The left labels represent the time variable, and the right labels indicate the price. The time variable is used in conjunction with my other indicator "Price and Longitude Angles." The same goes for the Double Numbered Square of Nine indicator.
5. Review Levels: Examine the plotted support and resistance levels with recent market pivots.
6. Identify Correlations: Find the Triangle edge or center that aligns with the most market pivots.
7. The indicator plots user-adjustable pivots on both candles/bars and shows their placement on the Triangle Chart in both Progression and Regression. This visualization helps users identify which angles the highs and lows favor from the selected pivot. Pivot levels' colors can be customized. The close price is plotted on the Triangle Chart in real time with a white background.
Each market has its tendencies, favoring specific angles from the Triangle Chart. The basic idea is to choose between the Left edge, Center, or Right edge of the Triangle to forecast support and resistance levels.
Settings:
Overview:
Example of Forecasting Support and resistance level using this indicator:
In the image above, I am regressing from the significant high at a rate of $-0.008 per cell as shown on the main info label. Based on the plotted pivots, I have chosen the right edge of the triangle as it aligns with these recent pivots. I have drawn a lime green vertical line to indicate that as we add layers to the triangle chart, we introduce support and resistance levels based on the identified angle that aligns with these early pivots from the high.
In the image below, I've moved forward in time to illustrate how the initial angle chosen based on the early pivots forecasted support and resistance levels on $DOGE. Do not expect the price to turn sharply at the levels the indicator generates. As P. Mikula mentions in his work, and I apply the same with the Triangle Chart, " The Square of Nine successfully defines market price swings but does not cause the market to form pivots. "
This indicator is inspired by the methodologies detailed by Patrick Mikula in his book, The Definitive Guide to Forecasting using W.D Gann's Square of Nine. I recommend checking it out. He also mentions another use case as a Triangle Price and Time chart in his book, Gann Scientific Method Unveiled, Volume 2, where you can use my open-source indicator "Price and Longitude Angle" alongside both the Doubled Numbered Square of Nine and this Triangle Chart indicator.
FYI, I am not affiliated with Patrick Mikula in any way.
Planned improvements include adding two more angles: Left Center column and Right Center column as additional options to select.
FYI: Please ensure you select the high when regressing from a high. Also, make sure to add enough layers on the Triangle to see all the pivots. Once you've identified an angle, you can hide the table to gain back space on the chart. Use rounding precision for lower prices.
Doubled Numbered Square of Nine Progression | RegressionThe Doubled Number Square of Nine Progression | Regression Indicator enables forecasting of support and resistance levels using the SQ9 progression or regression from a user-selected pivot price. The indicator also plots adjustable pivots on both the chart and the Square of Nine.
How to use to forecast support and resistance levels:
1. Select a Pivot Point: Choose a top or bottom pivot to use as the starting point. Select High or Low in the indicator to set the correct price to the pivot.
2. Set Price Increment or Decrement: Select a price increment to advance the starting price on the Square of Nine (for example 1 or -0.01).
3. Rotate to add or decrease the number of rungs on the Square on Nine: Rotate the Square of Nine and adjust the dimensions. The horizontal levels correlate to the rotation of the Square of Nine.
4. Plot Levels: Select a Square of Nine angle to plot the support and resistance levels based on the selected increments. These levels auto expand and decrease depending on the number of rotations in step 3. The price values from each of the selected diagonal or cardinal cross are applied to the chart with labels on both left and right. Left labels represent the cell the time variable and the right label is price.
5. Review Levels: Conduct a simple review of the plotted support and resistance levels in relation to recent market pivots.
6. Identify Correlations: Identify the Square of Nine cardinal cross or diagonal cross angle that correlates with the most market pivots.
7. The indicator plots user-adjustable pivots on both candles/bars and displays their placement on the Square of Nine in both Progression and Regression. The close price is plotted on the Square of Nine in real-time with a white background. This helps users identify which angles the highs and lows favor from the selected pivot. The pivot levels' colors can be adjusted.
Each market has its tendencies, favoring specific angles from the cardinal or diagonal cross. The basic idea is to choose between the diagonal cross and cardinal cross angles to forecast support and resistance levels.

Overview:
Example on Forecasting Support and resistance level using this indicator:
In the image above, I'm progressing from the significant low at a rate of $200 per cell. Based on the plotted pivots, I've selected the 315-degree angle on the diagonal cross as it aligns with a few recent pivots. Now, I've drawn a vertical line to show that as we add rungs to the Square of Nine, we introduce support and resistance levels based on the identified angle that aligns with these early pivots from the low.
In the image below, I've moved forward in time to show how the initial angle selected based on the early pivot forecasted support and resistance levels around the high in BTC. Do not expect the price to turn sharply at the levels the indicator generates, but use it to help identify SQ9 levels that may form market turns. As P. Mikula mentions in his work, "The Square of Nine successfully defines market price swings but it does not make the market form pivots."
This indicator includes enhancements made to the Gann Square of Nine indicator originally created by @ThiagoSchmitz.
This indicator is inspired by the methodologies detailed by Patrick Mikula in his book " The Definitive Guide to Forecasting using W.D Gann's Square of Nine ." I recommend checking it out. He also mentions another use case as a Price and Time chart in his " Gann Scientific Method Unveiled, Volume 2 ." FYI, I am not affiliated with Patrick Mikula in any way.
Known Issues:
Close price plotted on the Square of Nine in Regression "from a high pivot" takes a current candle to close in order to be plotted. Progression works as expected.
Price and Longitude Angles Planetary Price & Longitude Angles Indicator
This indicator plots planetary price and longitude angles starting from a user-selected date and time, offering a distinctive lens to explore the relationship between price and planetary timing. It supports both heliocentric and geocentric, enabling flexible and in-depth planetary analysis. The angles can be plotted across any time frame for maximum versatility.
How to Use
Once the indicator is loaded, you’ll be prompted to select a starting date and time for your analysis. From there, customize it as follows:
Select Planetary Options:
To plot the price and longitude for a single planet, choose the same planet in both dropdown menus.
To plot the average of two planets, select a different planet in each dropdown.
Set the Price Per Degree of Longitude: Adjust this value to define the scaling of the planetary angles relative to price.
Customize Fan Settings:
Toggle the mirroring of the fan on or off based on your needs.
Show or hide specific angle divisions to tailor the display to your preferences.
Display or conceal the information label that indicates the price per longitude and the number of degrees traveled.
This indicator is inspired by the methodologies of W.D. Gann and Patrick Mikula, expanding on concepts from Gann Scientific Method Unveiled, Volume 2. It was built using Astrolib by @BarefootJoey
I crafted this tool through dedication to support my own study of these ideas. I’m sharing it open-source not only to deepen my understanding and honor the work of Gann and Mikula, but also to invite collaboration. There’s always room for improvement—whether in functionality, accuracy, or design—and I hope others will join me in refining it. This is for those like me: eager to explore these concepts but lacking tools to experiment with. Let’s build on it together.
Planetary Time IntervalsThe Planetary Time Intervals Indicator is a market time analysis tool that allows traders to analyze and forecast planetary degree time measurements on the chart. This indicator tracks consistent planetary degree intervals to the current bar and accurately project those intervals up to 500 bars on any timeframe.
It supports both geocentric and heliocentric planetary positions, including the Moon, making it applicable for long-term and intraday analysis.
How It Works:
Once the indicator is loaded, the user selects a significant high or low "datetime and price" as the starting point for calculations. There are three available methods for determining a planetary time interval, allowing for flexibility in market timing analysis:
1. Degree-Interval-Based Plotting (Default Method)
Input a fixed planetary interval (e.g., 30, 45, 9.78), and the indicator will:
Plot vertical background color changes at each elapse in planetary degrees of the selected planetary interval.
Project these intervals into the future with vertical lines and labels.
2. 360 Conversion Units (Alternative Time Measurement #1 – Bypasses Standard Degree-Based Plotting)
This method finds price-time equivalence through 360-base reduction, meaning it subtracts 360 increments from the price of a selected high or low until the result is under 360.
The final number serves as the working planetary degree measurement interval, and projections are plotted using this value.
The indicator will:
Plot vertical background color changes at each occurrence of this planetary interval.
Project these intervals into the future with vertical lines and labels.
Example Calculation:
If the selected high or low is already under 360:
Suppose the market high is 280 → The indicator uses 280 as the working planetary degree measurement interval.
Future projections are plotted using 280° increments.
If the selected high or low is above 360:
Suppose Bitcoin’s high at $64,899, and 360 Conversion Units are enabled. The script will:
Subtract multiples of 360 from 64,899:
64,899 - 360 = 64,539
64,539 - 360 = 64,179
Continue this process until the value is less than 360
The final result would be 99, meaning the working planetary degree measurement interval is 99°.
The indicator then plots these 99° intervals as planetary time projections as shown in the image below. This image also shows the math label option to show or hide as user info.
3. 100-Unit Time Measurement (Alternative Time Measurement #2
This method establishes a relationship between price and time by taking one-tenth (1/10) of a selected high or low and using that as the planetary measurement interval.
The indicator will:
Plot vertical background color changes at each occurrence of this planetary interval.
Project these intervals into the future with vertical lines and labels.
Example Calculation:
If the selected market high is 1,000, the resulting planetary interval would be 100.
The script plots projections at 100° intervals for future timing analysis.
Additional Features:
✔ Selectable Math Label Option – Users can enable an option to view the calculations behind both alternative methods to help determine if scaling is needed.
✔ Customizable Scaling for High or Low Prices – Adjustable scaling inputs allow the indicator to work with prices that are too high or too low, ensuring compatibility across different markets.
How to Use:
Load the indicator onto your chart anytime.
Select a significant high or low datetime & price as the base measurement.
Choose one of three measurement methods:
Standard Degree-Interval Plotting → Plots at fixed user input planetary intervals.
360 Conversion Units → Finds price-time equivalence through 360-based reductions.
100-Unit Time Measurement → Finds price-time equivalence by 1/10 units.
(Optional) Enable the math display option to see the calculation process.
(Optional) Adjust scaling to accommodate market prices that are significantly high or low.
Observe the projected planetary time intervals, which are plotted on the chart with background color changes, vertical lines, and labeled planetary time projections. Perfect for backtesting.

Square of Nine Planetary Time ProgressionThis indicator enables users to plot future planetary projections in alignment with Square of Nine progression.
Description:
The Square of Nine Planetary Time Progression Indicator is a time-based market forecasting tool that integrates W.D. Gann’s Square of Nine principles with planetary time intervals. By mapping planetary cycles onto a geometric framework, this indicator may help traders identify potential market turning points with precision, aligning planetary time with Square of Nine progression.
It provides the ability to use geo or helio planetary positions, including the Moon, making it applicable for both long-term and intraday market timing.
Unlike traditional planetary cycle tools that rely on zodiacal aspects, this indicator focuses on planetary time intervals and their geometric relationships within the Square of Nine to forecast potential future key points in the market.
How to Use:
1. Select a Significant High or Low on any time frame
This reference point serves as the starting measurement for planetary time calculations, from which planetary time degrees will accumulate . Each subsequent projection reflects the cumulative solar or planetary degrees from this initial pivot, establishing a structured sequence of time-based market intervals.
2. Align the Degree Interval with the Next Market Swing:
Set the degree interval to align with the next major market swing from the intial point set in step 1.
The planetary time between these two points establishes the base time measurement for further calculations.
3. The script generates Square of Nine rotational increments, where the base measurement serves as the cornerstone for all future progressions/planetary time projections. As the script continues rotating around the Square of Nine, it produces the following sequence:
360° (Full Cycle) – The next full rotation from the base measurement.
180° (Half Cycle) – The midpoint between full cycles.
90° Increment from the Base Measurement – The first step in the Square of Nine progression.
90° Increment from 180° – The next step in the sequence, leading toward the full cycle.
Each of these increments builds upon the initial planetary time measurement, accumulating degrees through a structured Square of Nine progression, ensuring that future time projections align geometrically with the starting swing measurement.
Example Calculation:
Selecting the Base Measurement:
When the indicator is loaded, lets say the user selects a significant low as the starting point for the calculation.
Next, the user sets the input of the degree interval to align with the next major swing from that significant low.
Suppose the measured swing from the starting point occurs at 145 solar degrees—this becomes the base planetary time measurement.
Applying the Square of Nine Rotational Increments:
The script takes 145° and maps it onto the Square of Nine.
From 145° , the script projects future planetary degrees intervals based on the progression of 90-degree increments around the Square of Nine structure.
Generating Key Rotational Points:
Starting from 145° on the Square of Nine, we apply successive 90° increments:
151° (First 90° increment)
157°
163°
169° (180° opposition point)
176°
183°
190°
197° (Full 360° cycle rotation on the Square of Nine) and the rotation continues onto the next rung on the square of nine.
Plotting Future Projection Intervals:
The indicator plots these calculated degree intervals as future timing markers on the chart.
The opposition (180°) and full 360° cycle rotations are visually labelled using the conjunction (☌) and opposition (☍) symbols.
These symbols do not represent planetary aspects (as in traditional astrology) but instead mark geometric aspects derived from the Square of Nine.
These projected dates may help traders forecasting key market points in time. No repaint.
This indicator is inspired by the works of W.D. Gann and Patrick Mikula and is powered by AstroLib, developed by @BarefootJoey
Intraday example:
You can see that we're on the 4-hour chart using the Moon, with our initial measurement spanning 37 lunar degrees from high to low. The Square of Nine time projections are calculated in planetary degrees and plotted on the chart, forecasting future timing intervals.
WD Gann: Vertical Lines for Predefined Days/Bars AgoThis Pine Script draws vertical lines on the chart at specific time intervals, inspired by WD Gann’s theories of time cycles . WD Gann, a famous trader, believed that market movements were influenced by predictable time cycles. This script enables traders to visualize these key time cycles on the chart by placing vertical lines at predefined intervals (in bars ago), helping to identify potential turning points in the market.
The time intervals used in this script are inspired by Gann’s work, as well as astrological and numerological principles , which many traders believe influence market behavior . You can customize which time intervals (such as 3, 7, 9, 21, etc.) you want to track by enabling or disabling specific vertical lines on the chart.
Key Features:
Time Cycles Based on Gann’s Theory: Draws vertical lines at significant time intervals such as 3, 7, 9, 21, 27 bars ago, which are commonly used by Gann traders.
Astrological & Numerological Significance: The predefined intervals also align with key numerological and astrological values, allowing for a broader perspective on market cycles.
Customizable Intervals: You can choose which time intervals to display by enabling or disabling checkboxes for each cycle, allowing flexibility in chart analysis.
Visual Labels: Each vertical line is labeled with its corresponding "bars ago" value, providing clear reference points for the selected time cycles.
What Users Can Do:
Track and analyze market movements based on time cycles that are significant to Gann’s theory, as well as numerological and astrological influences.
Enable or disable vertical lines for specific cycles, like the 3-bar cycle, 9-bar cycle, or 365-bar cycle, depending on the intervals that align with your trading strategy.
Combine with other technical analysis tools and Gann techniques (e.g., Gann Angles, Gann Fans, or Square of Nine) for a more comprehensive trading approach.
This tool is designed for traders who believe in the power of time cycles to influence market behavior, and is especially useful for predicting turning points or key price movements based on these cycles.
WD Gann: Close Price X Bars Ago with Line or Candle PlotThis indicator is inspired by the principles of WD Gann, a legendary trader known for his groundbreaking methods in time and price analysis. It helps traders track the close price of a security from X bars ago, a technique that is often used to identify key price levels in relation to past price movements. This concept is essential for Gann’s market theories, which emphasize the relationship between time and price.
WD Gann’s analysis often revolved around specific numbers that he considered significant, many of which correspond to squared numbers (e.g., 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49, 64, 81, 100, 121, 144, 169, 196, 225, 256, 289, 324, 361, 400, 441, 484, 529, 576, 625, 676, 729, 784, 841, 900, 961, 1024, 1089, 1156, 1225, 1296, 1369, 1444, 1521, 1600, 1681, 1764, 1849, 1936). These numbers are believed to represent natural rhythms and cycles in the market. This indicator can help you explore how past price levels align with these significant numbers, potentially revealing key price zones that could act as support, resistance, or reversal points.
Key Features:
- Historical Close Price Calculation: The indicator calculates and displays the close price of a security from X bars ago (where X is customizable). This method aligns with Gann's focus on price relationships over specific time intervals, providing traders with valuable reference points to assess market conditions.
- Customizable Plot Type: You can choose between two plot types for visualizing the historical close price:
- Line Plot: A simple line that represents the close price from X bars ago, ideal for those who prefer a clean and continuous representation.
- Candle Plot: Displays the close price as a candlestick chart, providing a more detailed view with open, high, low, and close prices from X bars ago.
- Candle Color Coding: For the candle plot type, the script color-codes the candles. Green candles appear when the close price from X bars ago is higher than the open price, indicating bullish sentiment; red candles appear when the close is lower, indicating bearish sentiment. This color coding gives a quick visual cue to market sentiment.
- Customizable Number of Bars: You can adjust the number of bars (X) to look back, providing flexibility for analyzing different timeframes. Whether you're conducting short-term or long-term analysis, this input can be fine-tuned to suit your trading strategy.
- Gann Method Application: WD Gann's methods involved analyzing price action over specific time periods to predict future movements. This indicator offers traders a way to assess how the price of a security has behaved in the past in relation to a chosen time interval, a critical concept in Gann's theories.
How to Use:
1. Input Settings:
- Number of Bars (X): Choose the number of bars to look back (e.g., 100, 200, or any custom period).
- Plot Type: Select whether to display the data as a Line or Candles.
2. Interpretation:
- Using the Line plot, observe how the close price from X bars ago compares to the current market price.
- Using the Candles plot, analyze the full price action of the chosen bar from X bars ago, noting how the close price relates to the open, high, and low of that bar.
3. Gann Analysis: Integrate this indicator into your broader Gann-based analysis. By looking at past price levels and their relationship to significant squared numbers, traders can uncover potential key levels of support and resistance or even potential reversal points. The historical close price can act as a benchmark for predicting future market movements.
Suggestions on WD Gann's Emphasis in Trading:
WD Gann’s trading methods were rooted in several key principles that emphasized the relationship between time and price. These principles are vital to understanding how the "Close Price X Bars Ago" indicator fits into his overall analysis:
1. Time Cycles: Gann believed that markets move in cyclical patterns. By studying price levels from specific time intervals, traders can spot these cycles and predict future market behavior. This indicator allows you to see how the close price from X bars ago relates to current market conditions, helping to spot cyclical highs and lows.
2. Price and Time Squaring: A core concept in Gann’s theory is that certain price levels and time periods align, often marking significant reversal points. The squared numbers (e.g., 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, etc.) serve as potential key levels where price and time might "square" to create support or resistance. This indicator helps traders spot these historical price levels and their potential relevance to future price action.
3. Geometric Angles: Gann used angles (like the 45-degree angle) to predict market movements, with the belief that prices move at specific geometric angles over time. This indicator gives traders a reference for past price levels, which could align with key angles, helping traders predict future price movement based on Gann's geometry.
4. Numerology and Key Intervals: Gann paid particular attention to numbers that held significance, including squared numbers and numbers related to the Fibonacci sequence. This indicator allows traders to analyze price levels based on these key numbers, which can help in identifying potential turning points in the market.
5. Support and Resistance Levels: Gann’s methods often involved identifying levels of support and resistance based on past price action. By tracking the close price from X bars ago, traders can identify past support and resistance levels that may become significant again in future market conditions.
Perfect for:
Traders using WD Gann’s methods, such as Gann angles, time cycles, and price theory.
Analysts who focus on historical price levels to predict future price action.
Those who rely on numerology and geometric principles in their trading strategies.
By integrating this indicator into your trading strategy, you gain a powerful tool for analyzing market cycles and price movements in relation to key time intervals. The ability to track and compare the historical close price to significant numbers—like Gann’s squared numbers—can provide valuable insights into potential support, resistance, and reversal points.

GL Gann Swing IndicatorIntroduction
The GL Gann Swing Indicator is a versatile tool designed to help traders identify market trends, support and resistance areas, and potential reversals. This indicator applies the principles of Gann Swing Charts, a technique developed by W.D. Gann, which focuses on market swings to determine the overall direction and turning points of price action. Gann Swing Charts are a time-tested method of technical analysis that simplifies price action by focusing on significant highs and lows, thereby eliminating market noise and providing a clearer view of the trend.
By analyzing price action and determining swing directions and turning points, the indicator filters out market noise using four distinct bar types:
Up Bar: Higher High, Higher Low
Down Bar: Lower High, Lower Low
Inside Bar: Lower High, Higher Low
Outside Bar: Higher High, Lower Low
This approach helps traders to:
Identify the primary trend direction.
Determine key support and resistance levels.
Recognize potential reversal points.
Filter out minor price fluctuations that do not affect the overall trend.
Features
Bar Types: Display bar types by checking the Show Bar Type box in the indicator's settings. Up bars appear as green upward-pointing triangles, down bars as red downward-pointing triangles, inside bars as grey circles, and outside bars as blue diamonds. These visual aids help traders quickly identify the type of bar and its significance.
Break Lines: These lines highlight when the price rises above a previous swing high or falls below a prior swing low. Green lines indicate breaks of swing highs, while red lines indicate breaks of swing lows. Break lines are enabled by default but can be turned off in the indicator's settings. Break lines provide visual confirmation of trend continuation or reversal.
Bar Count: Bar counts help determine if a swing is overextended and if a reversal is likely. This feature is off by default but can be enabled in the indicator's settings. Users can set a minimum bar count to focus on significant swings. Analyzing the number of bars in a swing can help traders gauge the strength and potential exhaustion of a trend.
Swing MA (Moving Averages): This feature plots the average of a user-defined number of previous swing highs and lows. Options are available to add two moving averages, allowing for both fast and slow averages. Swing MAs can be enabled in the indicator's settings. These moving averages smooth out the price data, making it easier to identify the underlying trend direction.
Why This Indicator is Useful
The GL Gann Swing Indicator is particularly useful for several reasons:
Trend Identification: By focusing on significant price swings, the indicator helps traders identify the primary trend direction, making it easier to align trades with the overall market movement.
Noise Reduction: The indicator filters out minor price fluctuations, allowing traders to focus on meaningful market movements and avoid being misled by short-term volatility.
Support and Resistance Levels: By highlighting key swing highs and lows, the indicator helps traders identify crucial support and resistance levels, which are essential for making informed trading decisions.
Potential Reversals: The indicator's ability to identify overextended swings and potential reversal points can help traders anticipate market turning points and adjust their strategies accordingly.
Customizability: With options to display bar types, break lines, bar counts, and swing moving averages, traders can customize the indicator to suit their specific trading style and preferences.
By incorporating Gann Swing principles, the GL Gann Swing Indicator offers traders a powerful tool to enhance their technical analysis, improve their trading decisions, and ultimately achieve better trading outcomes.

Ticker Information:
This indicator is currently implemented for 5 liquid tickers: NASDAQ:AAPL NASDAQ:AMZN AMEX:DIA NYSE:ORCL and NASDAQ:TSLA
How does the indicator work and why is it unique?
This Pine Script indicator is a complex tool designed to provide various option metrics and visualization tools for options market traders. The indicator extracts raw options data from an external data provider (ORATS), processes and refines the delayed data package using pineseed, and sends it to TradingView, visualizing the data using specific formulas (see detailed below) or interpolated values (e.g., delta distances). This method of incorporating options data into a visualization framework is unique and entirely innovative on TradingView.
The indicator aims to offer a comprehensive view of the current state of options for the implemented instruments, including implied volatility (IV), IV rank (IVR), options skew, and expected market movements, which are objectively measured as detailed below.
The options metrics we display may be familiar to options traders from various major brokerage platforms such as TastyTrade, IBKR, TOS, Tradier, TD Ameritrade, Schwab, etc.
Key Features:
IV Rank (IVR) : The implied volatility rank compares the current IV to the lowest and highest values over the past 52 weeks. The IVR indicator helps determine whether options are relatively cheap or expensive.
IV Average (IVx) : The implied volatility displayed in the options chain, calculated similarly to the VIX. IVx values are aggregated within the 35-70 day expiration cycle.
IV Change (5 days) : The change in implied volatility over the past five trading days. This indicator provides a quick insight into the recent changes in IV.
Expected Move (Exp. Move) : The expected movement for the options expiration cycle, calculated using the price of the ATM (at-the-money) straddle, the first OTM (out-of-the-money) strangle, and the second OTM strangle.
Options Skew : The price difference between put and call options with the same expiration date. Vertical and horizontal skew indicators help understand market sentiment and potential price movements.
Visualization Tools:
Informational IVR Panel : A tabular display mode that presents the selected indicators on the chart. The panel’s placement, size, and content are customizable, including color and tooltip settings.
1 STD, Delta, and Expected Move : Visualization of fundamental classic options metrics corresponding to expirations with bell curves.
Colored Label Tooltips : Detailed tooltips above the bell curves showing options metrics for each expiration.
Adaptive Murrey Math Lines : A horizontal line system based on the principles of Murrey Math Lines, helping identify important price levels and market structures.
Expiration Lines : Displays both monthly and weekly options expirations. The indicator supports various color and style settings, as well as the regulation of the number of expirations displayed.

🔶 Auto-Updating Option Metrics and Curved Lines
🔹 Interpolated DELTA Curves (16,20,25,30,40)
In our indicator, the curve layer settings allow you to choose the delta value for displaying the delta curve: 16, 20, 25, 30, or even 40. The color of the curve can be customized, and you can also hide the delta curve by selecting the "-" option.
It's important to mention that we display interpolated deltas from the actual option chain of the underlying asset using the Black-Scholes model. This ensures that the 16 delta truly reflects the theoretical, but accurate, 16 delta distance. (For example, deltas shown by brokerages for individual strikes are rounded; a 0.16 delta might actually be 0.1625.)
🔹 Expected Move Curve (Exp.mv)
The expected move is the predicted dollar change in the underlying stock's price by a given option's expiration date, with 68% certainty. It is calculated using the expiration's pricing and implied volatility levels. We chose the TastyTrade method for calculating expected move, as we found it to be the most expressive.
Expected Move Calculation
Expected Move = (ATM straddle price x 0.6) + (1st OTM strangle price x 0.3) + (2nd OTM strangle price x 0.1)
For example , if stock XYZ is trading at 121 and the ATM straddle is 4.40, the 120/122 strangle is 3.46, and the 119/123 strangle is 2.66, the expected move is calculated as follows: 4.40 x 0.60 = 2.64; 3.46 x 0.30 = 1.04; 2.66 x 0.10 = 0.27; Expected move = 2.64 + 1.04 + 0.27 = ±3.9
In this example below, the TastyTrade platform indicates the expected move on the option chain with a brown color, and the exact value is displayed behind the ± symbol for each expiration. By default, we also use brown for this indication, but this can be changed or the curve display can be turned off.
🔹 Standard Deviation Curve (1 STD)
One standard deviation of a stock encompasses approximately 68.2% of outcomes in a distribution of occurrences based on current implied volatility.
We use the expected move formula to calculate the one standard deviation range of a stock. This calculation is based on the days-to-expiration (DTE) of our option contract, the stock price, and the implied volatility of a stock:
Calculation:
Standard Deviation = Closing Price * Implied Volatility * sqrt(Days to Expiration / 365)
According to options literature, there is a 68% probability that the underlying asset will fall within this one standard deviation range at expiration.
If the 1 STD and Exp.mv displays are both enabled, the indicator fills the area between them with a light gray color. This is because both represent probability distributions that appear as a "bell curve" when graphed, making it visually appealing.
Tip and Note:
The 1 STD line might appear jagged at times , which does not indicate a problem with the indicator. This is normal immediately after market open (e.g., during the first data refresh of the day) or if the expirations are illiquid (e.g., weekly expirations). The 1 STD value is calculated based on the aggregated IVx for the expirations, and the aggregated IVx value for weekly expirations updates less frequently due to lower trading volume. In such cases, we recommend enabling the "Only Monthly Expirations" option to smooth out the bell curve.
∑ Quant Observation:
The values of the expected move and the 1st standard deviation (1STD) will not match because they use different calculation methods, even though both are referred to as representing 68% of the underlying asset's movement in options literature. The expected move is based on direct market pricing of ATM options. The 1STD, on the other hand, uses the averaged implied volatility (IVX) for the given expiration to determine its value. Based on our experience, it is better to consider the area between the expected move and the 1STD as the true representation of the original 68% rule.
🔶 IVR Dashboard Panel Rows
🔹 IVR (IV Rank)
The Implied Volatility Rank (IVR) indicator helps options traders assess the current level of implied volatility (IV) in comparison to the past 52 weeks. IVR is a useful metric to determine whether options are relatively cheap or expensive. This can guide traders on whether to buy or sell options. We calculate IVrank, like TastyTrade does.
IVR Calculation:
IV Rank = (current IV - 52 week IV low) / (52 week IV high - 52 week IV low)
IVR Levels and Interpretations:
IVR 0-10 (Green): Very low implied volatility rank. Options might be "cheap," potentially a good time to buy options.
IVR 10-35 (White): Normal implied volatility rank. Options pricing is relatively standard.
IVR 35-50 (Orange): Almost high implied volatility rank.
IVR 50-75 (Red): Definitely high implied volatility rank. Options might be "expensive," potentially a good time to sell options for higher premiums.
IVR above 75 (Highlighted Red): Ultra high implied volatility rank. Indicates very high levels, suggesting a favorable time for selling options.
The panel refreshes automatically if the symbol is implemented. You can hide the panel or change the position and size.
🔹IVx (Implied Volatility Index)
The Implied Volatility Index (IVx) displayed in the option chain is calculated similarly to the VIX. The Cboe uses standard and weekly SPX options to measure the expected volatility of the S&P 500. A similar method is utilized to calculate IVx for each option expiration cycle.
For our purposes on the IVR Panel, we aggregate the IVx values specifically for the 35-70 day monthly expiration cycle . This aggregated value is then presented in the screener and info panel, providing a clear and concise measure of implied volatility over this period.
IVx Color coding:
IVx above 30 is displayed in orange.
IVx above 60 is displayed in red
IVx on curve:
The IVx values for each expiration can be viewed by hovering the mouse over the colored tooltip labels above the Curve.
IVx avg on IVR panel :
If the option is checked in the IVR panel settings, the IVR panel will display the average IVx values up to the optimal expiration.
Important Note:
The IVx value alone does not provide sufficient context. There are stocks that inherently exhibit high IVx values. Therefore, it is crucial to consider IVx in conjunction with the Implied Volatility Rank (IVR), which measures the IVx relative to its own historical values. This combined view helps in accurately assessing the significance of the IVx in relation to the specific stock's typical volatility behavior.
This indicator offers traders a comprehensive view of implied volatility, assisting them in making informed decisions by highlighting both the absolute and relative volatility measures.
🔹IVx 5 days change %
We are displaying the five-day change of the IV Index (IVx value). The IV Index 5-Day Change column provides quick insight into recent expansions or decreases in implied volatility over the last five trading days.
Traders who expect the value of options to decrease might view a decrease in IVX as a positive signal. Strategies such as Strangle and Ratio Spread can benefit from this decrease.
On the other hand, traders anticipating further increases in IVX will focus on the rising IVX values. Strategies like Calendar Spread or Diagonal Spread can take advantage of increasing implied volatility.
This indicator helps traders quickly assess changes in implied volatility, enabling them to make informed decisions based on their trading strategies and market expectations.
🔹 Vertical Pricing Skew
At TanukiTrade, Vertical Pricing Skew refers to the difference in pricing between put and call options with the same expiration date at the same distance (at expected move). We analyze this skew to understand market sentiment. This is the same formula used by TastyTrade for calculations.
We calculate the interpolated strike price based on the expected move , taking into account the neighboring option prices and their distances. This allows us to accurately determine whether the CALL or PUT options are more expensive.
PUT Skew (red): Put options are more expensive than call options, indicating the market expects a downward move (▽). If put options are more expensive by more than 20% at the same expected move distance, we color it lighter red.
CALL Skew (green): Call options are more expensive than put options, indicating the market expects an upward move (△). If call options are priced more than 30% higher at the examined expiration, we color it lighter green.
Vertical Skew on Curve:
The degree of vertical pricing skew for each expiration can be viewed by hovering over the points above the curve. Hover with mouse for more information.
Vertical Skew on IVR panel:
We focus on options with 35-70 days to expiration (DTE) for optimal analysis in case of vertical skew. Hover with mouse for more information.
This approach helps us gauge market expectations accurately, providing insights into potential price movements. Remember, we always evaluate the skew at the expected move using linear interpolation to determine the theoretical pricing of options.
🔹 Delta Skew 🌪️ (Twist)
We have a new metric that examines which monthly expiration indicates a "Delta Skew Twist" where the 16 delta deviates from the monthly STD. This is important because, under normal circumstances, the 16 delta is positioned between the expected move and the standard deviation (STD1) line (see Exp.mv & 1STD exact definitions above). However, if the interpolated 16 delta line exceeds the STD1 line either upwards or downwards, it represents a special case of vertical skew on the option chain.
Normal case : exp.move < delta16 < std1
Delta Skew Twist: exp.move < std1 < delta16
We indicate this with direction-specific colors (red/green) on the delta line. We also color the section of the delta curve affected by the delta skew in this case, even if you choose to display a lower delta, such as 30, instead of 16.
If "Colored Labels with Tooltips" is enabled, we also display a 🌪️ symbol in the tooltip for the expirations affected by Delta Skew.
If you have enabled the display of 'Vertical Pricing Skew' on the IVR Panel, a 🌪️ symbol will also appear next to the value of the vertical skew, and the tooltip will indicate from which expiration Delta Skew is observed.
🔹 Horizontal IVx Skew
In options pricing, it is typically expected that the implied volatility (IVx) increases for options with later expiration dates. This means that options further out in time are generally more expensive. At TanukiTrade, we refer to the phenomenon where this expectation is reversed—when the IVx decreases between two consecutive expirations—as Horizontal Skew or IVx Skew.
Horizontal IVx Skew occurs when: Front Expiry IVx < Back Expiry IVx
This scenario can create opportunities for traders who prefer diagonal or calendar strategies . Based on our experience, we categorize Horizontal Skew into two types:
Weekly Horizontal Skew:
When IVx skew is observed between two consecutive non-monthly expirations, the displayed value is the rounded-up percentage difference. On hover, the approximate location of this skew is also displayed. The precise location can be seen on this indicator.
Monthly Horizontal Skew:
When IVx skew is observed between two consecutive monthly expirations , the displayed value is the rounded-up percentage difference. On hover, the approximate location of this skew is also displayed. The precise location can be seen on our Overlay indicator.
The Monthly Vertical IVx skew is consistently more liquid than the weekly vertical IVx skew. Weekly Horizontal IVx Skew may not carry relevant information for symbols not included in the 'Weeklies & Volume Masters' preset in our Options Screener indicator.
If the options chain follows the normal IVx pattern, no skew value is displayed.
Color codes or tooltip labels above curve:
Gray - No horizontal skew;
Purple - Weekly horizontal skew;
BigBlue - Monthly horizontal skew
The display of monthly and weekly IVx skew can be toggled on or off on the IVR panel. However, if you want to disable the colored tooltips above the curve, this can only be done using the "Colored labels with tooltips" switch.
We indicate this range with colorful information bubbles above the upper STD line.
🔶 The Option Trader’s GRID System: Adaptive MurreyMath + Expiry Lines
At TanukiTrade, we utilize Enhanced MurreyMath and Expiry lines to create a dynamic grid system, unlike the basic built-in vertical grids in TradingView, which provide no insight into specific price levels or option expirations.
These grids are beneficial because they provide a structured layout, making important price levels visible on the chart. The grid automatically resizes as the underlying asset's volatility changes, helping traders identify expected movements for various option expirations.
The Option Trader’s GRID System part of this indicator can be used without limitations for all instruments . There are no type or other restrictions, and it automatically scales to fit every asset. Even if we haven't implemented the option metrics for a particular underlying asset, the GRID system will still function!
🔹 SETUP OF YOUR OPTIONS GRID SYSTEM
You can setup your new grid system in 3 easy steps!
STEP1: Hide default horizontal grid lines in TradingView
Right-click on an empty area of your chart, then select “Settings.” In the Chart settings -> Canvas -> Grid lines section, disable the display of horizontal lines to avoid distraction.
SETUP STEP2: Scaling fix
Right-click on the price scale on the right side, then select "Scale price chart only" to prevent the chart from scaling to the new horizontal lines!
STEP3: Enable Tanuki Options Grid
As a final step, make sure that both the vertical (MurreyMath) and horizontal (Expiry) lines are enabled in the Grid section of our indicator.
You are done, enjoy the new grid system!
🔹 HORIZONTAL: Enhanced MurreyMath Lines
Murrey Math lines are based on the principles observed by William Gann, renowned for his market symmetry forecasts. Gann's techniques, such as Gann Angles, have been adapted by Murrey to make them more accessible to ordinary investors. According to Murrey, markets often correct at specific price levels, and breakouts or returns to these levels can signal good entry points for trades.
At TanukiTrade, we enhance these price levels based on our experience , ensuring a clear display. We acknowledge that while MurreyMath lines aren't infallible predictions, they are useful for identifying likely price movements over a given period (e.g., one month) if the market trend aligns.
Our opinion: MurreyMath lines are not crystal balls (like no other tool). They should be used to identify that if we are trading in the right direction, the price is likely to reach the next unit step within a unit time (e.g. monthly expiration).
One unit step is the distance between Murrey Math lines, such as between the 0/8 and 1/8 lines. This interval helps identify different quadrants and is crucial for recognizing support and resistance levels.
Some option traders use Murrey Math lines to gauge the movement speed of an instrument over a unit time. A quadrant encompasses 4 unit steps.
Key levels, according to TanukiTrade, include:
Of course, the lines can be toggled on or off, and their default color can also be changed.
🔹 VERTICAL: Expiry Lines
The indicator can display monthly and weekly expirations as dashed lines, with customizable colors. Weekly expirations will always appear in a lighter shade compared to monthly expirations.
Monthly Expiry Lines:
You can turn off the lines indicating monthly expirations, or set the direction (past/future/both) and the number of lines to be drawn.
Weekly Expiry Lines:
You can display weekly expirations pointing to the future. You can also turn them off or specify how many weeks ahead the lines should be drawn.
Of course, the lines can be toggled on or off, and their default color can also be changed.
TIP: Hide default vertical grid lines in TradingView
Right-click on an empty area of your chart, then select “Settings.” In the Chart settings -> Canvas -> Grid lines section, disable the display of vertical lines to avoid distraction. Same, like steps above at MurreyMath lines.

Since we only deal with liquid option chains: this option indicator only works for the USA options market and do not include future contracts; we have implemented each selected symbol individually.
- Why is there a slight difference between the displayed data and my live brokerage data? There are two reasons for this, and one is beyond our control.
- Brokerage Calculation Differences:
Every brokerage has slight differences in how they calculate metrics like IV and IVx. If you open three windows for TOS, TastyTrade, and IBKR side by side, you will notice that the values are minimally different. We had to choose a standard, so we use the formulas and mathematical models described by TastyTrade when analyzing the options chain and drawing conclusions.
- Option-data update frequency:
According to TradingView's regulations and guidelines, we can update external data a maximum of 5 times per day. We strive to use these updates in the most optimal way:
(1st update) 15 minutes after U.S. market open
(2nd, 3rd, 4th updates) 1.5–3 hours during U.S. market open hours
(5th update) 10 minutes before market close.
You don’t need to refresh your window, our last refreshed data-pack is always automatically applied to your indicator , and you can see the time elapsed since the last update at the bottom of your indicator.
- Skewed Curves:
The delta, expected move, and standard deviation curves also appear relevantly on a daily or intraday timeframe. Data loss is experienced above a daily timeframe: this is a TradingView limitation.
- Weekly illiquid expiries:
Especially for instruments where weekly options are illiquid: the weekly expiration STD1 data is not relevant. In these cases, we recommend checking in the "Display only Monthly labels" checkbox to avoid displaying not relevant weekly options expirations.
-Timeframe Issues:
Our option indicator visualizes relevant data on a daily resolution. If you see strange or incorrect data (e.g., when the options data was last updated), always switch to a daily (1D) timeframe. If you still see strange data, please contact us.
Disclaimer:
Our option indicator uses approximately 15min-3 hour delayed option market snapshot data to calculate the main option metrics. Exact realtime option contract prices are never displayed; only derived metrics and interpolated delta are shown to ensure accurate and consistent visualization. Due to the above, this indicator can only be used for decision support; exclusive decisions cannot be made based on this indicator . We reserve the right to make errors.This indicator is designed for options traders who understand what they are doing. It assumes that they are familiar with options and can make well-informed, independent decisions. We work with public data and are not a data provider; therefore, we do not bear any financial or other liability.
