RSI-Divergence Goggles [Trendoscope®]🎲 Introducing the RSI-Divergence Goggle
🎯 Revolutionizing Divergence Analysis in Trading
While the concept of divergence plays a crucial role in technical analysis, existing indicators in the community library have faced limitations, particularly in simultaneously displaying divergence lines on both price and oscillator graphs. This challenge stems from the fact that RSI and other oscillators are typically plotted in a separate pane from the price chart. Traditional Pine Script® indicators are confined to a single pane, thus restricting comprehensive divergence analysis.
🎯 Our Innovative Solution: RSI on the Price Pane
The RSI-Divergence Goggle breaks through these limitations. Our innovative approach involves plotting the RSI directly onto the price pane within a movable and resizable widget. This groundbreaking feature allows for the simultaneous drawing of zigzag patterns on both price and the oscillator, enabling the effective calculation and visualization of divergence lines on both.
🎯 The Foundation: Our Divergence Research and Rules
Our journey into divergence research began three years ago with the launch of the "Zigzag Trend Divergence Detector." The foundational rules established with this script remain pertinent and form the basis of all our subsequent divergence-based indicators.
🎯 Understanding Divergence: Key Concepts
Divergence Varieties : We identify two main types - Bullish Divergence (and its hidden counterpart) occurs at pivot lows, while Bearish Divergence (and its hidden version) appears at pivot highs.
Contextual Occurrence : Bullish divergence is a phenomenon of downtrends, whereas bearish divergence is unique to uptrend. Conversely, hidden bullish divergence arises in uptrends, and hidden bearish divergence in downtrends.
Oscillator Behavior : In standard divergence scenarios, the oscillator lags behind price, signaling potential reversals. In hidden divergence cases, the oscillator leads, suggesting trend continuation.
🎯 Visual Insights: Divergence and Hidden Divergence
For a clearer understanding, refer to our visual guides:
🎯 A Word of Caution
While divergence is a powerful tool, it's not a standalone guarantee of trend reversals or continuations. We recommend using these patterns in conjunction with support and resistance levels, as demonstrated in our "Divergence Based Support Resistance" implementation.
🎯 Using the RSI-Divergence Goggles
Upon applying the indicator to your chart, you'll be prompted to select two corner points, defining the widget's placement and size. This widget is the stage for your RSI plotting and divergence calculations. Choose these points carefully to ensure they encompass your area of interest without overlapping important price bars.
An example as below.
🎯 Innovative Features:
Plotting RSI: RSI values are scaled from 0 to 100 within the widget. This unique plotting may not align with individual bar values, but pivot labels and tooltips provide detailed RSI and retracement ratio information.
Zigzag and Pivots: Our adjusted RSI plots determine the zigzag pivot highs and lows, which may not always correspond with visible price pivots. However, calculations based on close prices ensure minimal deviation.
Divergence Display: Divergence types are identified following our established rules, with a simple moving average employed to discern the prevailing trend.
🎯 Trend Detection Mechanism
A simple moving average is used as base for determining the trend. If the difference between moving averages of the alternate pivots is positive, then the sentiment is considered to be uptrend. Else, we consider the sentiment to be in downtrend.
This is a simple method to identify trend, implemented via this indicator. The indicator does not provide alternative methods to identify trend. This is something that we can explore in the future.
🎯 Interactive and Customizable
The RSI-Divergence Goggle isn't just a static tool; it's an interactive feature on your chart. You can move or resize the widget, allowing for dynamic analysis and focused study on different chart segments.

Oscillator Volume Profile [Trendoscope®]The Oscillator Volume Profile indicator is designed to construct a volume profile based on predefined oscillator levels. It integrates volume data with oscillator readings to offer a unique perspective on market dynamics.
🎲 Selectable Oscillators:
Users can select from an array of oscillator options for the basis of the volume profile, including:
Relative Strength Index (RSI)
Chande Momentum Oscillator (CMO)
Center of Gravity (COG)
Money Flow Index (MFI)
Rate of Change (ROC)
Commodity Channel Index (CCI)
Stochastic Oscillator (Stoch)
True Strength Index (TSI)
Williams %R (WPR)
The length parameters - Length, Fast Length, Slow Length allows users to define the period over which the chosen oscillator is calculated, tailoring the sensitivity of the indicator to their trading strategy.
🎲 Dynamic Overbought/Oversold Ranges:
This indicator enhances traditional concepts by introducing dynamic overbought and oversold levels. These adaptable thresholds are calculated using various methods, including:
🎯 Highest/Lowest Range Method : This method establishes the range based on the highest and lowest values of the oscillator within the last N bars.
🎯 Moving Average Range Method : The range is derived from a moving average of the oscillator, providing a smoothed threshold that reflects more recent market conditions.
In addition to these methods, the indicator incorporates a unique 'Sticky Border' feature:
🎯 Sticky Border: With this option enabled, the dynamic ranges maintain their levels until the oscillator breaks out of the range. Once a breakout occurs, the levels are recalculated and updated. This mechanism ensures that the borders remain consistent and relevant, only adjusting to significant market movements that warrant a recalculation.
Users can select their preferred method for determining dynamic ranges, allowing for a customized approach that aligns with their analysis and trading strategy. The sticky border feature further refines this functionality, offering continuity until a decisive market move occurs.
🎲 Volume Profile Calculation Parameters:
🎯 Trend Filter: The indicator provides a versatile trend filter with four selectable options:
Uptrend: The volume profile is calculated when the oscillator indicates an uptrend.
Downtrend: The volume profile is calculated when the oscillator indicates a downtrend.
Any: The volume profile is calculated regardless of the trend.
External: Users can input values from an external indicator. The volume profile is then calculated only when the external indicator's value is non-zero, integrating external analysis into the volume profile construction.
🎯 Precision: Users have the option to define the precision for calculating the volume profile, which is crucial due to the varying scales of different oscillators (e.g., some oscillators range from 0 to 100, while others from -1 to 1). Selecting an appropriate precision ensures that the volume profile is accurately aligned with the minimal price range significant to the chosen oscillator. This setting requires user intervention for optimal configuration, as automatic calculation is not feasible due to the diverse nature of oscillator ranges.
🎯 Number of Bars: Users can select a specific number of bars for volume profile calculation, or opt to include all available historical bars for a comprehensive profile.
🎲 Selecting the right precision:
Users must select the right precision based on their choice of indicator. For example, RSI values range from 0-100. Hence, the default precision of 1 work fine on RSI as the volume profiles are plotted from 0 to 100 at the interval of 0.1
But, the default precision of 1 will not be ok on TSI because TSI values range from -1 to 1. Hence, using 1 as precision will result in very less volume profile lines as shown below.
Due to this, it is necessary to increase the precision for oscillators such as TSI where the range between highest and lowest value is far less. Once we set the precision to 2, we can see more appropriate volume profile division.
🎲 Note of thanks:
This publication uses polyline feature for drawing volume profiles. The advantage of using polyline is that we can overcome max 500 lines issue that we face by using the regular line objects. More details of polyline can be found in the tradingview blog post
Further, using polyline for display of volume profiles is inspired by the publications of fikira and KioseffTrading
Volume Spike Analysis [Trendoscope]The Volume Spike Analysis is designed to detect volume spikes in a trading instrument's data. Rather than relying on the traditional method of comparing volume to its moving average, this indicator employs a distinctive approach to ensure accuracy.
Methodology
Historical Volume Comparison: The indicator first assesses the current bar's volume, say 100k, and looks back historically to determine the last instance when the volume was equal to or exceeded this level.
High Volume Bar Gap Calculation: The intervals or gaps between high volume bars are recorded. These gaps help in determining how common or rare a particular volume spike is.
Spike Magnitude Determination: Here, the extent of the volume spike is gauged in relation to either the median, lowest, or average volume of the intervening bars. The reference metric (median, lowest, or average) can be chosen by the user through the "Volume Spike Reference" input parameter.
Spike Percentile Analysis: The calculated spike magnitude (as a percentage of the reference volume) is cataloged. This collection aids in understanding the relative intensity of the current volume spike when compared to previous spikes.
Threshold Comparisons: The indicator then compares the calculated "High Volume Distance Percentile" to the "Last High Volume Distance Percentile" and the "Volume Spike Percentile" to the "Volume Spike Threshold". If these values surpass the preset thresholds, the current bar is flagged as a high volume or volume spike bar.
Visual Components
Bar Highlighting : High volume or volume spike bars are accentuated with bright colors for easy identification. All other bars have increased transparency to reduce visual clutter.
Distance from the High Volume Bar: Indication of the number of bars since the last high volume occurrence and its respective percentile.
Comparative Factors: A factor representing the magnitude by which the current volume surpasses the lowest, median, and average volumes.
Lowest, Median and Average Volumes: The lowest and median volumes are indicated by tooltips on lines marking the respective bars. The average volume is depicted as a dotted horizontal line, with a triangle marker tooltip revealing its value.
This indicator offers a nuanced analysis of volume spikes, aiding traders in making more informed decisions.
ABC on Recursive Zigzag [Trendoscope]There are several implementations of ABC pattern in tradingview and pine script. However, we have made this indicator to provide users additional quantifiable information along with flexibility to experiment and develop their own strategy based on the patterns.
🎲 Highlights of this indicator over other ABC implementations are:
Implementation is based on recursive multi level zigzag allows bigger as well as smaller patterns to be identified
Allows users to set their trading rules with respect to entry, target and stop ratios, experiment and build their own strategy based on the ABC pattern.
Back test summary including win ratio and risk reward will help users understand the profitability based on different settings being used.
🎲 Concept of ABC Pattern
The ABC pattern, also known as the "Corrective Wave" or "Zigzag Pattern," is a fundamental concept in Elliott Wave Theory, which is widely used in technical analysis to identify and predict price movements in financial markets.
The ABC pattern is a three-wave corrective pattern that typically occurs within the context of a larger impulse or trending wave. It consists of two smaller waves in the opposite direction (A and C) separated by a corrective wave (B). These waves are labeled alphabetically and represent price movements.
Wave A (Impulse Wave): Wave A is the first leg of the ABC pattern and is characterized by a strong price move in the opposite direction of the prevailing trend. It is often driven by a fundamental or sentiment-driven event that temporarily disrupts the trend.
Wave B (Corrective Wave): Wave B is the corrective wave that follows Wave A. It represents a partial retracement of Wave A's price movement. Wave B can take various forms, such as a simple correction or a complex correction (e.g., a triangle or a flat correction). It typically doesn't retrace the entire length of Wave A.
Wave C (Impulse Wave): Wave C is the final leg of the ABC pattern and is characterized by a strong price move in the same direction as the prevailing trend. It often surpasses the starting point of Wave A and confirms the resumption of the larger trend.
🎲 Indicator Components
Upon loading the indicator on the chart, we can observe the following components on the chart.
Pattern Drawings is the graphical representation of present patterns. Please note that it is not necessary for patterns to be there on the chart all the time. Patterns will appear on the chart when price makes the patterns.
Trade Box is the box representing trade signals of the pattern. These trade levels are generated based on the user settings.
Summary Table is the back test summary containing details of historical pattern performance including Win Ratio and Risk Reward.
🎲 Indicator Settings
Details of each user settings are provided in the tooltips. Below is the snapshot of it.
🎲 Alerts
Basic level of alerts are built in the script using alert function to highlight the following conditions:
New ABC Pattern
Updates to existing Pattern
Both conditions will alert simple text messages. There is not much customization provided as part of this indicator. We will consider providing more options in future versions based on the interest and demand shown by users.
Historical Pattern Matcher [Trendoscope]Do you believe in patterns and think price movements are more likely to follow historical patterns? If yes, this is an indicator for you.
🎲 Concept
The patterns in this script are not a named or known pattern. But, it can be any pattern that happen to repeat again and again over a period of time.
The indicator collects the following information over a period of time.
Collects all possible patterns for specified number of pivots based on relation between each pivot prices. (Default 6)
Keeps track of all the possible patterns for the given pivots and number of occurrences of such patterns over a period of time.
Collects the movement of next pivot (in terms of retracement ratio) after the pattern has formed for each occurrence.
Keeps track of the last occurrence of each pattern collected
And the indicator presents on chart following information
Current Pattern drawing based on last confirmed pivot.
Current Pattern drawing based on current unconfirmed pivot in the opposite direction.
Projection range based on historical retracement ratio for both patterns
Detailed info on last occurrence and overall occurrences.
Last occurrence of both confirmed and unconfirmed pivot patterns.
Please note that, if the patterns have not been repeated over a period, then it will not be shown on the screen. Hence, it is perfectly normal to not see any projection. This can happen when the current pattern has not been repeated any time before.
🎲 Details
When you load the indicator on the chart, you may see the following patterns and projections.
You may also notice, in the pattern details, information about the last occurrence of the pattern. If you scroll on your chart to the left to the given data and time, you can observe how the past occurrence of the pattern has formed and the price movement past that point.
For example, last occurrence of pattern based on confirmed pivot happened on 02-Jun-2023 00:00 UTC time
And last occurrence of pattern based on unconfirmed pivot happened on 27-Apr-2023 22:00 UTC time
🎲 Settings
Settings are minimal, and here is the meaning of them.
Most important setting here is the number of pivots forming the pattern.
🎲 Caution
The indicator is designed to present the projection based on historical occurrences of similar price pattern. This does not necessarily mean the patterns are supposed to be bullish or bearish. But, it will certainly give users an idea of what happened when similar price action presented historically.
Note to developers This script makes use of new pine script feature - maps
PercentX Trend Follower [Trendoscope]"Trendoscope" was born from our trading journey, where we first delved into the world of trend-following methods. Over time, we discovered the captivating allure of pattern analysis and the exciting challenges it presented, drawing us into exploring new horizons. However, our dedication to trend-following methodologies remains steadfast and continues to be an integral part of our core philosophy.
Here we are, introducing another effective trend-following methodology, employing straightforward yet powerful techniques.
🎲 Concepts
Introducing the innovative PercentX Oscillator , a representation of Bollinger PercentB and Keltner Percent K. This powerful tool offers users the flexibility to customize their PercentK oscillator, including options for the type of moving average and length.
The Oscillator Range is derived dynamically, utilizing two lengths - inner and outer. The inner length initiates the calculation of the oscillator's highest and lowest range, while the outer length is used for further calculations, involving either a moving average or the opposite side of the highest/lowest range, to obtain the oscillator ranges.
Next, the Oscillator Boundaries are derived by applying another round of high/low or moving average calculations on the oscillator range values.
Breakouts occur when the close price crosses above the upper boundary or below the lower boundary, signaling potential trading opportunities.
🎲 How to trade a breakout?
To reduce false signals, we employ a simple yet effective approach. Instead of executing market trades, we use stop orders on both sides at a certain distance from the current close price.
In case of an upper side breakout, a long stop order is placed at 1XATR above the close, and a short stop order is placed at 2XATR below the close. Conversely, for a lower side breakout, a short stop order is placed at 1XATR below the close, and a long stop order is placed at 2XATR above the ATR. As a trend following method, our first inclination is to trade on the side of breakout and not to find the reversals. Hence, higher multiplier is used for the direction opposite to the breakout.
The script provides users with the option to specify ATR multipliers for both sides.
Once a trade is initiated, the opposite side of the trade is converted into a stop-loss order. In the event of a breakout, the script will either place new long and short stop orders (if no existing trade is present) or update the stop-loss orders if a trade is currently running.
As a trend-following strategy, this script does not rely on specific targets or target levels. The objective is to run the trade as long as possible to generate profits. The trade is only stopped when the stop-loss is triggered, which is updated with every breakout to secure potential gains and minimize risks.
🎲 Default trade parameters
Script uses 10% equity per trade and up to 4 pyramid orders. Hence, the maximum invested amount at a time is 40% of the equity. Due to this, the comparison between buy and hold does not show a clear picture for the trade.
Feel free to explore and optimize the parameters further for your favorite symbols.
🎲 Visual representation
The blue line represents the PercentX Oscillator, orange and lime colored lines represent oscillator ranges. And red/green lines represent oscillator boundaries. Oscillator spikes upon breakout are highlighted with color fills.
Volume Forks [Trendoscope]🎲 Volume Forks - Advanced Price Analysis with Recursive Auto-Pitchfork and Angled Volume Profile
The Volume Forks Indicator is a comprehensive research tool that combines two innovative techniques, Recursive Auto-Pitchfork and Angled Volume Profile . This indicator provides traders with valuable insights into price dynamics by integrating accurate pitchfork drawing and volume analysis over angled levels. The indicator does following things
Detects Pitchfork formations automatically on the chart over Recursive Zigzag
Instead of drawing forks based on fib levels, volume distribution over ABC of pitchfork is calculated and drawn in the direction of the handle.
🎲 Brief about Pitchfork
Pitchfork is drawn when price forms ABC pattern. Pitchfork draws a series of parallel lines in the direction of trend which can be used for support and resistance.
There are many methods of drawing pitchfork. In all cases, a line joining BC will make the base of pitchfork and fork lines are drawn from different points of the base. All the fork lines will be parallel. But, the handle of the base defines the direction of fork lines. Classification of pitchfork is mainly based on the starting and ending points of the handle.
🎲 Regular Types
Here, end of the handle is always fixed and it will be the mid point of B and C.
🎯 Andrews Pitchfork
Handle starts from A and joins the base at mid of B and C.
Forks are drawn based on fib ratios from the handle
🎯 Schiff Pitchfork
Handle starts from Bar of A and price of middle of AB and joins the base at mid of B and C
Forks are drawn based on fib ratios from the handle
🎯 Modified Schiff Pitchfork
Handle starts from mid of A and B and joins the base at mid of B and C
Forks are drawn based on fib ratios from the handle
🎲 Inside Types
Here, C will act as end of the handle which joins the Base BC .
🎯 Andrews Pitchfork (Inside)
Handle starts from A and joins the base at C
Forks are drawn based on fib ratios from the handle
🎯 Schiff Pitchfork (Inside)
Handle starts from Bar of A and price of (A+B)/2 and joins the base at C
Forks are drawn based on fib ratios from the handle
🎯 Modified Schiff Pitchfork (Inside)
Handle starts from mid of A and B and joins the base at C
Forks are drawn based on fib ratios from the handle
🎲 Brief about Pitchfork
The Angled Volume Profile technique expands on the concept of volume profile by measuring volume distribution levels over angled levels rather than just horizontal levels. By selecting a starting point and angle interactively, traders can assess volume distribution within specific price trends. This feature is particularly useful for analysing volume dynamics in trending markets.
🎲 Settings
Indicator settings include few things which determine the scanning of pitchforks and few which determines drawing of volume profile lines.
Please note that, due to pine limitations of 500 lines, if there are too many formations on the chart, volume profile may not appear correctly. If that happens, please reduce the number of volume forks per formation.
Recursive Micro Zigzag🎲 Overview
Zigzag is basic building block for any pattern recognition algorithm. This indicator is a research-oriented tool that combines the concepts of Micro Zigzag and Recursive Zigzag to facilitate a comprehensive analysis of price patterns. This indicator focuses on deriving zigzag on multiple levels in more efficient and enhanced manner in order to support enhanced pattern recognition.
The Recursive Micro Zigzag Indicator utilises the Micro Zigzag as the foundation and applies the Recursive Zigzag technique to derive higher-level zigzags. By integrating these techniques, this indicator enables researchers to analyse price patterns at multiple levels and gain a deeper understanding of market behaviour.
🎲 Concept:
Micro Zigzag Base : The indicator utilises the Micro Zigzag concept to capture detailed price movements within each candle. It allows for the visualisation of the sequential price action within the candle, aiding in pattern recognition at a micro level.
Basic implementation of micro zigzag can be found in this link - Micro-Zigzag
Recursive Zigzag Expansion : Building upon the Micro Zigzag base, the indicator applies the Recursive Zigzag concept to derive higher-level zigzags. Through recursive analysis of the Micro Zigzag's pivots, the indicator uncovers intricate patterns and trends that may not be evident in single-level zigzags.
Earlier implementations of recursive zigzag can be found here:
Recursive Zigzag
Recursive Zigzag - Trendoscope
And the libraries
rZigzag
ZigzagMethods
The major differences in this implementation are
Micro Zigzag Base - Earlier implementation made use of standard zigzag as base whereas this implementation uses Micro Zigzag as base
Not cap on Pivot depth - Earlier implementation was limited by the depth of level 0 zigzag. In this implementation, we are trying to build the recursive algorithm progressively so that there is no cap on the depth of level 0 zigzag. But, if we go for higher levels, there is chance of program timing out due to pine limitations.
These algorithms are useful in automatically spotting patterns on the chart including Harmonic Patterns, Chart Patterns, Elliot Waves and many more.
Interactive Motive Wave ChecklistHere is an interactive tool that can be used for learning a bit about Elliott Waves
🎲 How it works?
The script upon load asks users to enter 6 pivots in an order. Once all 6 pivots are selected on the interactive chart, the script will calculate if the structure is a valid motive wave.
When you load the script, you will see a prompt on the chart to select points on the chart to form 6 pivots.
When you select the 6 pivots, the checklists are populated on the chart to notify users which conditions for qualifying the selection has passed and which of them are failed.
🎲 Conditions for Motive Wave
Motive wave can be either Impulse or Diagonal Wave. Diagonal wave can be either expanding or contracting diagonals. To learn more about diagonal waves, please go through this idea.
Rules for generic motive waves are as below
Pivots in order - Checks wether the pivots selected are in progressive order.
Directions in order - Checks if the pivot directions are correct - either PH, PL, PH, PL, PH, PL or PL, PH, PL, PH, PL, PH
Wave 2 never moves beyond the start of wave 1 - Wave 2 retracement is less than 100% of wave1
Wave 3 always moves beyond the end of wave 1 - Wave 3 retracement is more than 100% of wave2
Wave 3 is never the shortest one - Checks if Wave 3 is bigger than either Wave 1 or wave 5 or both.
Now, these are the specific rules for Impulse Waves on top of Motive Wave conditions
Wave 4 never moves beyond the end of Wave 1 - meaning wave 1 and wave 4 never overlap on price scale.
Wave 1, 3, 5 are all not extended. We check for retracement ratios of more than 200% to be considered as extended wave.
Below are the conditions for Diagonal Waves on top of Motive Wave conditions
Wave4 never moves beyond the start of Wave 3 - Wave 4 retracement is less than 100%
Wave 4 always ends within the price territory of Wave 1 - Unlike impulse wave, wave 4 intersects with wave 1 in case of diagonal waves. This is the major difference between impulse and diagonal wave.
Waves are progressively expanding or contracting - Wave1 > Wave3 > Wave5 and Wave2 > Wave4 to be contracting diagonal. Wave1 < Wave3 < Wave5 and Wave2 < Wave4 to be expanding diagonal wave.
Here is an example of diagonal wave projection
Here is an example of impulse wave projection

Following variations are provided in the form of settings.
🎯 Range Type
Instead of ATR, different types of ranges can be used for stop calculation. Here is the complete list used in the script.
Plus/Minus Range* - Calculates plus range and minus range for each candle and uses them for different sides of stop calculation
Ladder ATR - Based on the existing concept of Ladder ATR defined in Supertrend-Ladder-ATR
True Range - True range derived from standard function ta.tr
Standard Deviation - Standard deviation of close prices
🎯 Applied Calculation
In standard ATR, rma of TR is used for calculations. But, the application calculation provides option to users to use different mechanisms. It can be a type of moving average or few other types of calculations.
Available values are
sma
ema
hma
rma
wma
high
median
🎯 Other options
Few other options provided are
Use Close Price - If selected stops are calculated based on the close price instead of high/low prices
Wait for Close If selected, change of supertrend direction is calculated based on close price instead of high/low prices
Diminishing Stop Distance - When selected, stop distance for the trend direction can only reduce and cannot increase. This option is useful for keeping the tight stops on strong trends.
🎯 Plus Minus Range*
One of the range type used is Plus/Minus Range. What it means and how are these ranges calculated? Let's have a look.
Plus Range is an upward movement of a candle from its last price or open price whichever is lower.
Minus Range is a downward movement of a candle from its last price or open price whichever is higher.
This divides True Range into two separate range for positive and negative side.
Note : Effectiveness on daily charts are quire visible. However, if you want to use it for lower timeframes, please play around with settings before settling on suitable configuration.

sma
ema
hma
rma
wma
high
median
medianHigh (Highest of the last N medians)
medianLow (Lowest of the last N medians)
🎯 Other options
Few other options provided are
Use Close Price - If selected stops are calculated based on the close price instead of high/low prices
Wait for Close If selected, change of supertrend direction is calculated based on close price instead of high/low prices
Diminishing Stop Distance - When selected, stop distance for the trend direction can only reduce and cannot increase. This option is useful for keeping the tight stops on strong trends.
🎯 Plus Minus Range
One of the range type used is Plus/Minus Range. What it means and how are these ranges calculated? Let's have a look.
Plus Range is an upward movement of a candle from its last price or open price whichever is lower.
Minus Range is a downward movement of a candle from its last price or open price whichever is higher.
This divides True Range into two separate range for positive and negative side.
Here are the simple settings in nutshell which reflects the same.
Recursive Reversal Chart Patterns [Trendoscope]Caution: This algorithm is very heavy and bound to cause timeouts. If that happens, there are few settings you can change to reduce the load. (Will explain them in the description below)
🎲 Recursive Reversal Chart Patterns Indicator
Welcome to another exploration of Zigzag and Pattern ecosystem components. Previously we derived Pitchfork and Recursive Zigzag indicators. This indicator is designed to scan and highlight few popular "Reversal Chart Patterns". Similar to other indicators in the ecosystem, this too is built on recursive zigzags.
Double Taps
Triple Taps
Cup and Handles
Head and Shoulders
Indicator however names the patterns separately for bullish and bearish formations. So, the actual names you see on the screen are
Double Top
Double Bottom
Triple Top
Triple Bottom
Cup and Handle
Inverted Cup and Handle
Head and Shoulders
Inverse Head and Shoulders
Here is a snapshot on how each category of patterns look on the chart.
🎲 Architecture
Many of you may be cursing me for publishing too many libraries. But, these are all preparations for something big. Like other indicators in the Zigzag and Patterns Ecosystem, this too uses a bunch of libraries.
🎯Major direct dependencies

🎯Minor dependencies
Utils
TradeTracker
🎲 Indicator Settings
🎯Generic and Zigzag Settings.
Note: In case of timeout, please decrease the value of depth parameter
🎯Pattern Selection
Having all the patterns selected on chart may also cause timeouts and will make the chart look messy. It is better to limit one or two patterns on the chart to have clear picture.
🎯Scanner Settings
🎯Indicators.
These are options to use indicators as secondary confirmation to calculate divergence. If selected, the patterns are shown only if the divergence data is inline. Option also available to plugin external indicator. These calculations are not straightforward and not easy to measure by manual inspection. This feature at present is purely experimental.
Have a go and let me know how you feel :)

Session Filter [Trendoscope]🎲 Session Filter: A Customisable Trading Indicator for Defining Preferred Trade Sessions
Session Filter is a simple trading indicator that enables traders to define their preferred trading sessions and optimise their approach based on individual preferences. By providing a range of flexible customisation options, Session Filter can help traders reduce risk, increase accuracy, by helping them to adhere to their trading sessions. Features include
🎯 Customisable Trading Sessions
One of the key features of Session Filter is the ability to select from four different trading sessions. These sessions are designed to be flexible, making it easy to tailor your approach to specific markets, assets, and trading styles. By selecting the sessions that are most relevant to your strategy, you can reduce the risk of making trades during less favourable market conditions.
For example, if you prefer to trade during the Asian session, you can set the session times to "Asian Session" in input settings. This will highlight the specific times when the Asian markets are open, allowing you to focus your trading activity during these periods. By doing so, you can avoid trading during times when the market is less active or more volatile.
🎯 Customisable Timezone and Days of the Week:
In addition to customisable trading sessions, Session Filter also allows users to select a timezone and specific days of the week. This ensures that the displayed trading zones and signals are aligned with your local time, and that you can tailor your approach to your preferred schedule. This is particularly useful for traders who have other commitments, or who prefer to focus on specific markets or assets on certain days.
For example, if you are based in New York and prefer to trade during the European session, you can select the "European Session" option in Session Filter and adjust the timezone to reflect your local time. You can also select specific days of the week when you prefer to trade during the European session, such as Tuesday through Thursday. This allows you to optimize your approach based on your personal preferences and schedule.
🎯 Easy Visual Interpretation:
Session Filter uses green and red overlays on the chart to indicate the trading zones, making it easy for users to visually identify their trading sessions
For example, when a green overlay is displayed on the chart, this indicates that the market is within the selected trading session and that it may be a good time to start trade. Conversely, when a red overlay is displayed, this indicates that the market is outside of the selected trading session and that it may be a good time close all trading. By providing this visual feedback, Session Filter helps traders stay focused and disciplined, and avoid making impulsive trading decisions.
🎯Force Exit Signal for Risk Management:
Session Filter also offers the ability to generate a force exit signal when not in any of the selected sessions. This can be used in conjunction with alerts to exit all trades outsize session zone.
For example, if you are using Session Filter to trade during the European session, but the market is particularly volatile during a specific day, the force exit signal will be generated to indicate that it may be a good time to exit your trade. This helps you avoid potential losses and stay disciplined during periods of market turbulence.
🎯External Signal Plots:
In addition to the chart overlays, Session Filter also plots signals on the data window that can be used as external inputs in other indicators and strategies. This feature allows traders to incorporate the signals generated by Session Filter into their existing trading systems and this can be used as additional filters on an existing strategy or methodology.
🎯Alerts using Alert Conditions
Alerts are provided for start and end of session so that users can make use of it to set auto turn on or off their bots.
Settings are pretty simple and are explained here.

Volatility Percentile (H-LINES)A simple script that adjusts the Volatility Percentile Indicator visibly in order to better accommodate entries/exits and certain trading setups/strategies.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TL;DR - Remember after a full reset, we are looking for initial crosses UP on the UpperSwingline and crosses DOWN on the LowerSwingline for primary and secondary signal derivation.
Vice versa also works great but the prior method mentioned is a little more consistent in my experience, but you should mess around and optimise this for your own setups and strategies anyway.

He wrote everything so give credit where it's due, good bit of kit this here script is.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HOW I USE MY VISUALLY ALTERED VERSION OF THIS SCRIPT
First of all, the alterations I've made seem only to be consistently viable with renko charts though if you can get the sought after results using candles or any other chart type then perfect, but be wary. All my back-testing done only with LinReg, HMA and SWMA - ATR type settings exclusively on renko charts. The changes I've made to the original script essentially just turns it visibly into an oscillator and uses a couple horizontal lines to generate signals, very simple - absolutely nothing has changed in the actual code of calculating this indicator.
What I believe my adjustments have achieved is quite simple. A full reset/oscillation on the indicator tries to map the strongest parts of a move or at least the part of the move where volume and the rate of transactions is at its peak to even facilitate said move. *take this statement with a pinch of salt though I do believe it's interacting with accumulation/distribution patterns, which is expected of volatility*
For ease of communication let's refer to the area between the the first UpperSwingline cross to the subsequent LowerSwingline cross, as the primary move. Then afterwards when it crosses the UpperSwingline again to make the full reset, the area in between those two points referred to as the secondary move.
Though more interestingly/practically the indicator ends up giving you two signals. In order for this to work we have to first decide that a spike up in volatility which crosses the UpperSwingline implies a significant level of interest at that price level. Usually that means a reversal is brewing, if price has already moved, trended and is approaching a certain area of value; which causes a spike of new positions to be taken, then you know that this is a level where contrarians are looking to enter. Now here's the tricky part, when volatility crosses the LowerSwingline price action becomes a little more open for interpretation, the way I personally like to look at this secondary signal is the potential for an exhaustion period to prolong itself a little longer. I know that's not the perfect analysis for what's going on, a more in-depth look into what's going on would best be described using Elliott Wave Theory, if a cross on the UpperSwingline near a significant area of value gives us a reversal trade lets just assume for the sake of argument that a new Elliott Wave can begin forming here. Making the move from that initial UpperSwngline cross to the cross on the LowerSwingline, the area that encompasses those two points: the impulse wave. After this point my analogy kind of falls apart and sadly my knowledge just isn't what it needs to be in order for me to properly analyse what's going on here but I must digress. Price after crossing the LowerSwingline up until the point where it makes a full reset by crossing the UpperSwingline again, within this area price seems to do either one of two things:
Situation 1 - Most likely occurs after a major trend reversal from major support/resistance or area of value (price has trended to new territory, maybe spent time a little time consolidating but hasn't broken the key level, momentum shifts, price action breaks current structure and you get the signal that primary move is a reversal) = Exhaustion Period, price will continue in direction of primary move during the secondary move. This here is for our trend-followers, you wanna take a continuation trade? Just wait for the pullback/rally to hit a FiB retracement level and enter - or any other means to find a decent support/resistance to enter.
Situation 2 - Most likely occurs when market enters a range or consolidation (price was previously seen as being at either a discount or premium so Situation 1 could have already played out and now you're looking at a full reset after that, imagine this spot to be the centre line of a linear regression channel or bang in the middle of your range, could even occur if price breaks a key moving average and decides it ought to consolidate around it for a while. Basically at any point where a somewhat prolonged consolidation is expected and not a quick reversal) = Corrective Wave, price will move against the direction of primary move during the secondary move. Now you might be expecting me to say this ones for you reversal traders but not really, if this is occurring then there probably isn't a definitive direction the market has chosen so you can use this opportunity to take range trades in the direction or against the direction of whatever the current trend or latest trend was depending on whatever slight bias you may have. <--- Situation 2 is very useful for finding cleaner entries if you do have a trend bias, say price underwent Situation 1, is now at key moving average but your bias is that it will break and continue up, so you wait and allow the secondary move of Situation 2 to take your entry to a much better R:R before entering a position.

Angled Volume Profile [Trendoscope]Volume profile is useful tool to understand the demand and supply zones on horizontal level. But, what if you want to measure the volume levels over trend line? In trending markets, the feature to measure volume over angled levels can be very useful for traders who use these measures. Here is an attempt to provide such tool.
🎲 How to use
🎯 Interactive input for selecting starting point and angle.
Upon loading the script, you will be prompted to select
Start time and price - this is a point which you can select by moving the maroon highlighted label.
End price - though this is shown as maroon bullet, this is price only input. Hence, when you click on the bullet, a horizontal line will appear. Users can move the line to use different End price.
Start and End price are used for identifying the angle at which volume profile need to be calculated. Whereas start time is used as starting time of the volume profile. Last bar of the chart is considered as ending bar.
🎯 Other settings.
From settings, users can select the colour of volume profile and style. Step multiplier defines the distance at which the profile lines needs to be drawn. Higher multiplier leads to less dense profile lines whereas lower multiplier leads to higher density of profile lines.
🎲 Limitations
🎯 Max 500 lines
Pinescript only allows max 500 lines on an indicator. Due to this, if we set very low multiplier - this can lead to more than 500 profile lines. Due to this some lines can get removed.
On the contrary, if multiplier is too high, then you will see very few lines which may not be meaningful.
Hence, it is important to select optimal multiplier based on your timeframe
🎯 No updates on new bar
Since the profile can spawn many bars, it is not possible to recalculate the whole volume profile when price creates new bars. Hence, there will not be visual update when new bars are created. But, to update the chart, users only need to make another movement of Start or ending point on interactive input.

Recursive Zigzag [Trendoscope]Here is an another outcome of Object Oriented Zigzag and Pattern Ecosystem of Libraries.
We already have another implementation of recursive zigzag which makes use of earlier library rzigzag . Here in this example, we make use of similar logic but leverage the new type and method based Zigzag system libraries to derive the indicator.
🎲 Design Overview
Similar to Recursive Auto Pitchfork, here too the indicator code is around 50 lines. Whereas most of the heavy lifting is done by the libraries.
🎲 Base Libraries
Base libraries are those which does not have any dependency. They form basic structures which are later used in other libraries. These libraries need to be crafted carefully so that minimal updates are done later on. Any updates on these libraries will impact all the dependent libraries and scripts.
🎯 Drawing
DrawingTypes - Defines basic drawing types Point, Line, Label, Box, Linefill and related property types.
DrawingMethods - All the methods or functionality surrounding Basic types are defined here.
🎲 Layer 1 Libraries
These are the libraries which has direct dependency on base libraries.
🎯 Zigzag
ZigzagTypes - Types required for defining Zigzag and Divergence
ZigzagMethods - Methods associated with Zigzag Type definitions.
🎲Indicator
Indicator draws zigzags based on given length. And then recursively derives next level zigzags based on previous levels. As per the utility, indicator is useful in several ways
Visualising price structure based on zigzag pivots - which in turn can help visualise patterns.
Ability to add any oscillator makes it easy to spot divergences with choice of indicators.
Programmers can use the derived values to build complex algorithms such as automatic pattern recognition.
🎯 Settings
Settings are explained via tooltips. These are very much straight forward and directly related to zigzag, oscillators and divergence.
