Open RangeThis is a simple script that will look back a set number of candles at a specified time (example: Ny Open) and find the "High and Low " of the range/ market in the given look back period. It will then draw two lines and the range zone as a box. Breakout traders can use these levels to help find interesting areas for a breakout. Reversal traders can use these levels to help locate false breakouts.
Simple type in your time zone Example: GMT-4
Set the time you want the indicator to draw the start line Example: 8:30am
then set the candle look back Example: 60
Hope this script helps spark some ideas
Happy trading

Failed Breakdown Detection'Failed Breakdowns' are a popular set up for long entries.
In short, the set up requires:
1) A significant low is made ('initial low')
2) Initial low is undercut with a new low
3) Price action then 'reclaims' the initial low by moving +8-10 points from the initial low
This script aims at detecting such set ups. It was coded with the ES Futures 15 minute chart in mind but may be useful on other instruments and time frames.
Business Logic:
1) Uses pivot lows to detect 'significant' initial lows
2) Uses amplitude threshold to detect a new low beneath the initial low; used /u/ben_zen script for this
3) Looks for a valid reclaim - a green candle that occurs within 10 bars of the new low
4) Price must reclaim at least 8 points for the set up to be valid
5) If a signal is detected, the initial low value (pivot low) is stored in array that prevents duplicate signals from being generated.
6) FBD Signal is plotted on the chart with "X"
7) Pivot low detection is plotted on the chart with "P" and a label
8) New lows are plotted on the chart with a blue triangle
Notes:
User input
- My preference is to use the defaults as is, but as always feel free to experiment
- Can modify pivot length but in my experience 10/10 work best for pivot lows
- New low detection - 55 bars and 0.05 amplitude work well based on visual checks of signals
- Can modify the number of points needed to reclaim a low, and the # of bars limit under which this must occur.
Alerts:
- Alerts are available for detection of new lows and detection of failed breakdowns
- Alerts are also available for these signals but only during 7:30PM-4PM EST - 'prime time' US trading hours
Limitations:
- Current version of the script only compares new lows to the most recent pivot low, does not look at anything prior to that
- Best used as a discretionary signal

Range DetectionThis is a simple indicator to find the sideways market or ranging market.
It is mainly focused on BTCUSD as BTCUSD doesn’t make big moves each and every candle. It makes big breakouts with one candle and then goes sideways for a longer period of time.
So, this indicator identifies those big candles and plots high and lows of those big candles using lines. New range is created only when new candles close above or below previous major candles high or low.
Moon Phases + Daily, Weekly, Monthly, Quarterly & Yearly Breaks█ Moon Phases
From LuxAlgo description.
Trading moon phases has become quite popular among traders, believing that there exists a relationship between moon phases and market movements.
This strategy is based on an estimate of moon phases with the possibility to use different methods to determine long/short positions based on moon phases.
Note that we assume moon phases are perfectly periodic with a cycle of 29.530588853 days (which is not realistically the case), as such there exists a difference between the detected moon phases by the strategy and the ones you would see. This difference becomes less important when using higher timeframes.
█ Daily, Weekly, Monthly, Quarterly & Yearly Breaks
This indicator marks the start of the selected periods with a vertical line that help with identifying cycles.
It allows to enable or disable independently the daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly and yearly session breaks.
This script is based on LuxAlgo and kaushi / icostan scripts.
Moon Phases Strategy
Year/Quarter/Month/Week/Day breaks
Month/week breaks
Orb breakout Buy condition =>ORB range 9:20-9:25. On 5 min TF if candle breaks high and next candle break high of that candle. buy signal when third candle breaks high of 2nd candle
Sell condition=>ORB range 9:20-9:25. On 5 min TF if candle breaks low and next candle break low of that candle. sell signal when third candle breaks low of 2nd candle
this indicator is extended version of my previous indicator i got a comment request from @RISHISAKHARE to devlope indicator based on above mention rule ....
Inside Bar SetupScript Details
- This script plots Inside Bar for given day in selected time-frame (applicable only for Timeframes < Day)
- Basis plotted inside bar, relevant targets are marked on the chart
- Targets can be customised from script settings. Example, if range of mother candle is 10 points, then T1 is 10 * x above/below mother candle and T2 is 10 * y above/below mother candle. This x & y are configured via script settings
How to use this script ?
- This script works well on 10-15 mins timeframe for stocks, 15/30 mins timeframe for nifty index and 30/60 mins time frame for bank nifty index
- If mother candle high is broken, take long trade with SL of mother candle low and if low is broken, take short trade with SL of mother candle high
Remember:
1. Above logic is to be combined with support/resistances i.e. price action. This script is an add-on to price action analysis giving you more conviction.
2. If range of mother candle is very high, it is recommended to avoid the trade.
3. Basis inside bar formed on higher time frame, take trade on basis of lower time frame i.e if inside bar is formed on 60 mins, take trade on the basis of 10-15 mins time frame
Example:
1. As seen in the chart, Nifty is near it's resistance and we are seeing Inside Bar being formed, In such scenario, even if High of Mother Candle is broken, we should be more interested to short as we are near resistance and probability of getting our targets in long side is less.
2. So, if I see breakdown of mother candle i.e. price going below low of mother candle, we will short with SL of high of mother candle.
3. As seen in the chart, both the targets are achieved.
Additional Info:
1. Targets on Long/Short Side can be configured via settings. For indices 1 times/1.5 times the range works well.
2. This script plots targets basis the first inside bar formed in the day for selected time frame.
3. Inside bars formed through out the day are coloured separately but lines are plotted only on the basis of 1st formed inside bar as this strategy works well for the first formed inside bar)
4. Don't forget to check volume in case of breakout/breakdown.
Note:
1. Mother Candle - First Candle of Inside Bar
2. Child Candle - Candle formed inside Mother Candle (Second Candle of Inside Bar)
Happy Trading :)
Market Structure Break & Order Block by EmreKbThis indicator shows the market structure break (msb) and order blocks (ob). Msb occurs after the breakout old high when the price make lower lows or occurs after the breakout old low when the price make higher highs. OB occurs after the msb, ob is the last bullish candle before high if msb is bearish but if the msb is bullish then ob is the last bearish candle before low.
Zigzag Lenght - A number for the zigzag calculation
Show Zigzag - Show/Hide Zigzag lines
Fib Factor - Fib level for the breakout confirmation. For example if new high larger than old high to low fib 1+fib_factor when the down trend then it's a breakout.
Williams Fractals with BreaksThis is a Bill Williams fractal indicator with breaks.
I was turned onto fractals and the importance of their breaks by ChaosTrader63.
I know several version of this indicator have been done.
I chose this as a first project because of it's simplicity , but also because of the poor code quality of some other versions I looked at.
This is the first draft that successfully met my three criteria:
* Must identify all fractals, including simultaneous up/down fractals.
* Must identify fractal breaks with a clear indicator.
* Must provide information on how many fractals
For the first bullet, I wanted to provide a more concise modern version than the boolean logic composition I was seeing in other examples.
The later two required tracking the past which was not present in the other versions I looked at.
Code here can be improved for more uses and better integration, but it is functional and elegant enough to use.
Thanks for checking it out.

Super OrderBlock / FVG / BoS Tools by makuchaku & eFeThis super indicator is a Swiss army knife for Smart Money traders for OrderBlocks / FVG / BoS
It provides many options for drawing (non-repainting) boxes for OrderBlocks, Fair Value Gaps (FVG) and Break of Structures. The boxes are extended into the future, until the first retest/mitigation.
Some of the additional options (not explained in the diagrams above)
PPDD OB : An order block which is formed after interacting with Liquidity (old low/high, fractal low/high, etc). Since these OB's are in the most premium or most discount, they are Premium Premium Discount Discount OB's (PPDD OB)
HVB Bars : When the volume of any bar is higher than the average volume of last N bars, it could mean something important (in the right context). Hence, the indicator allows for coloring them differently.
This indicator was built as a collaboration between @makuchaku & eFe
Pro tip : This indicator is a simply a tool to visualize trading concepts on the candle stick chart. It is the job of the trader to sequence these effectively into a profitable trade.
If you come across any bug or have a question on how to effectively use the indicator, please don't hesitate to ask questions.
Good luck & good trading!
EMA MTF PlusI like trading the 1 minute and 3 minutes time-frames. I'm what is commonly called a "scalper". Long term investments yes, I have some, but for trading, I don't have neither the time,
nor the patience to wait hours or days for my trade to be complete.
This doesn't mean I discount the higher time-frames, no, I actually rely heavily on them. I found that EMAs do a decent job as support/resistance, sometimes to a tick level of precision. And this is important for a 1 minute trader.
As such, I made this script that tracks the higher time-frames EMAs and displays the last value as a line.
I do not need the whole EMA, I'm not interested in crossovers or crossunders, these are anyway late signals for me.
What's with the triangles? These are local tops/bottoms , candles that have a have decent size of the wick. These tops and bottoms are by no means "final", they are merely a rejection at certain levels of price. Due to markets complexities (and human erratic behaviors hehe) these levels could be breached at the very next candle. For a more "final" version (nothing is really final but..) I added Schaff Trend Cycle as filter, so a triangle will pop only when a trend is mature enough ( STC with a value near 0 or near 100).
Colored bars. When the body of the candle is big, it shows strength. Strong bars tend to have follow through, especially when breaking key levels. The script looks at the body of the candle and compares it with ATR (Average True Range), if it's at least 0.8 of ATR it changes the bar color to yellow (bull candles) or fuchsia(bear candles).
Range identifier. This code is copied from Lazy Bear (if there are any issues please let me know), it's very useful in conjunction with colored bars.
I look for breakout candles that go outside of the range as a signal for a trade.
There are many ways in which this script can be useful, like trading mean reversions or momentum trades (breakouts) or simply trend following trades.
I hope you guys find it useful, you can play with default values and change them as you like, these are what I found to be working best for me and my trading universe (mostly crypto).
Special thanks for the original work of:

Linear Regression Channel Breakout StrategyThis strategy is based on LonesomeTheBlue's Linear Regression Channel Indicator. First of all, I would like to thank LonesomeTheBlue. Breaking the Linear Regression Channel to close the candle triggers a Long or Short signal. If the slope of the Linear Regression Channel is positive, it is Short when it breaks out the lower line, and when the slope is negative, it is Long when it breaks out the upper line. The default is optimized for 8-hour candles, and for other hour candles, find the optimal value yourself. Below is a description of LonesomeTheBlue's Linear Regression Channel.
이 전략은 LonesomeTheBlue의 Linear Regression Channel Indicator를 기반으로 만들어졌습니다. 우선 LonesomeTheBlue님께 감사의 말씀을 드립니다. Linear Regression Channel을 돌파하여 봉 마감하면 Long 또는 Short 신호를 트리거합니다. Linear Regression Channel의 기울기가 양인 경우 하단 라인을 돌파하면 Short이고 그 기울기가 음인 경우 상단 라인을 돌파하면 Long입니다. 기본값은 8시간봉에 최적화 되어 있으며, 다른 시간봉은 직접 최적값을 찾아보십시오. 아래는 LonesomeTheBlue의 Linear Regression Channel에 대한 설명을 퍼왔습니다.
________________________________________________
There are several nice Linear Regression Channel scripts in the Public Library. and I tried to make one with some extra features too. This one can check if the Price breaks the channel and it shows where is was broken. Also it checks the momentum of the channel and shows it's increasing/decreasing/equal in a label, shape of the label also changes. The line colors change according to direction.
using the options, you can;
- Set the Source (Close, HL2 etc)
- Set the Channel length
- Set Deviation
- Change Up/Down Line colors
- Show/hide broken channels
- Change line width
meaning of arrows:
⇑ : Uptrend and moment incresing
⇗ : Uptrend and moment decreasing
⇓ : Downtrend and moment incresing
⇘ : Downtrend and moment decreasing
⇒ : No trend
Volume Positive Negative (VPN)The idea and calculations for the Volume Positive Negative (VPN) indicator were created by Markos Katsanos. Markos wrote about the indicator in the article Detecting High-Volume Breakouts, published in Technical Analysis of Stocks & Commodities April, 2021 (Vol. 39, Issue 5).
The goal of the VPN indicator is to detect breakouts using only volume. The basic idea is to compare volume on up days versus volume on down days. The indicator can oscillate between the range of -100 and 100. Values between 0 and 20 are generally considered bullish, negative are bearish.
When the plotted VPN crosses over what Markos refers to as the critical value, that may indicate a high volume breakout. The critical value can be adjusted between 0 to 20, 10 is the default,
Volume Positive Negative Calculation (VPN)
VPN = (VP - VN) / MAV / Period * 100
VP - sum of positive volume
VN - sum of negative volume
MAV - moving average of volume
Volume is considered positive when the average price is higher than the previous day's price by more than .1 of the ATR (average true range).
Please help to make Larry Williams' volatility breakthrough.Hello Traders!
I'm going to backtest Larry Williams' volatility breakthrough strategy.
However, contrary to my expectation, orders at certain bars are made the next day.
Is there anything I missed at my pine script code?
Please give me any tiny tips.
Thank you!!
Finnie's HL BREAKOUTFirst the indicators takes a range, by default it is 22 candles, then finds the highest and lowest points of said range. At this point your left with lines that follow your support and resistance in the given range (take a look by change the 100 ema in settings to 1). To take things a step further I took a 100 candle ema of the highest highest and lowest lows to not only smooth things out, but also to provide visual ques for breakouts, when closing price is above the top band the asset is considered to be breaking out.
SMT - Smart Money Thursday Boxes
The Smart Money Trading Thursday - is a very specific trading system. You only trade it on a Thursday.
The script/indicator will color Thursdays as two boxes. If you just want one color, use same color for
both boxes. The boxes is there to indicate London/New York sessions.
SETTINGS
In the setting you find a numeric value as 1700-0400:5
The "5" indicate Thursday. You can change that if you prefer to color another specific day.
For example "4" would indicate Wednesday. And you can change the hours to fit your
sessions and trading style.
You can also use the 2 boxes on different days. If you for example would like to color up
London for Wednesday and Thursday. Then set hours to fit London session and adjust the
:5 to 4 on the 1st box and 5 on the 2nd.
HOW TO USE IT?
The Smart Money works in a way retail trading does not. Smart Money has an objective
to locate retail patterns, where there will be a lot of stop loss volume to be grabbed.
So when a retail trader see a setup like a "Double Top / Bottom". The Institutional
will see $$$ of dumb money, ready to be taken. The best moves happen on a Thursday
but if you are a skilled trader, you can see the move also occur on Wednesday or Friday.
The first thing that will happen, is that the Smart Money Breaks out of session. Meaning
they will leave the current weeks high/low range. To start collect negative contracts
of the retail volume.
When you see that happen. And you see a breakout that consist of 4 in a row 1 hour
chart candles. Then you have your first rule meet.
#1 Thursday breakout of current weeks high/low. And the move is a clean 4 hour move
as 4x H1 candles. The move can start within range. But must end clearly outside.
Visual Example:
#2 Next, we await an engulf at peak or near peak. That is where Institutional
may have problem to match any more contracts, and since they used their own
money to make this move. They must now mitigate orders, and return back to
the original retail pattern as most retail traders are now stopped out.
(Normally this is a long/clear candle out of range. they rarely go lower
then retail traders entry in the 1st push. This to not save any souls :)
#3 Price returns back to where the breakout from the retail happens.
You can now take your profit as a Smart Money Trader. Trading with less risk,
you can take profit of the return of that latest 4x H1 candle move. (Order
Block)
CONCLUSION
The best trade is when you can combine a retail pattern, followed by a
breakout which holds 4x 1 hour candles in the outbreak direction.
2nd best is when you have the 4x H1 breakout and really no clear retail
pattern. Still is the same game. Just not as clear as the one above.
Study the steps in this image and you see what to look after:
Good Luck with your trading!

Green - Buy

Bayesian BBSMA OscillatorSometime ago (very long ago), one of my tinkering project was to do a spam or ham classification type app to filter news I'd wanna read. So I built myself a Naive Bayes Classifier to feed me my relevant articles. It worked great, I can cut through the noise.
The hassle was I needed to manually train it to understand what I wanna read. I trained it using 50 articles and to my surprise, it's enough.
Complexity Theory
I've been reading a book called The Road to Ruin by Jim Rickards. He described how he got to his conclusion of how the stock market works by using Complexity Theory. Bill Williams would agree. Jim tells us that by using just enough data, we calculate the probability of an event to occur. We can't say for sure when but we know it's coming. This was my light bulb moment.
While Jim talks much about Bayesian Inference in which a probability of an event can always be updated as more evidence comes to light, I had my eyes set on binary probabilities of when prices are going up and down.
Assumptions
These are my assumptions:
Prices breaking up a Bollinger basis line will have fuel to go up even higher
Prices will go down when prices have broken up a Bollinger upper band
Scalping is the main method so we should use a lower period Moving Average (MA)
When prices are above MA, it's likelier a correction to the downside is imminent
When prices are below MA, it's likelier a correction to the upside is imminent
Optimize parameters for 1 hour timeframe which will give us time to react while still having more opportunities to trade
Building Blocks
Jim Rickards started with limited data (events) while in technical trading, data are plentiful. I decided to classify 2 events which are:
Next candles would be breaking up
Next candles would be breaking down
Key facts:
We won't know for sure when prices are going to break
We won't know for sure how much the prices movements are going to be
Formulas
Breaking up:
Pr(Up|Indicator) = Pr(Indicator|Up) * Pr(Up) / Pr(Indicator|Up) * Pr(Up) + Pr(Indicator|Down) * Pr(Down)
Breaking down:
Pr(Down|Indicator) = Pr(Indicator|Down) * Pr(Down) / Pr(Indicator|Down) * Pr(Down) + Pr(Indicator|Up) * Pr(Up)
Reading The Oscillator
Green is the probability of prices breaking up
Red is the probability of prices breaking down
When either green or red is flatlining ceiling, immediately on the next candle when the probability decreases go short or long based on which direction you're observing - Strong Signal
When either green or red is flatlining ceiling, take no action while it's ceiled
Usually when either green or red is flatlining bottom, the next candle when the probability increases, immediately take a short long position based on the direction you're observing - Weak Signal
When either green or red is flatlining bottom, take no action while it's bottomed

Improved Breakout-Retest Strategy (5M Entry)This strategy combines the strength of a higher timeframe structure with precision 5-minute entries. It identifies consolidation zones on the 4H chart, waits for a strong breakout in the direction of the trend, and then enters on a retest confirmed by an engulfing candle on the 5-minute timeframe. A 200 EMA filter ensures trades align with the dominant trend, while a strict 1:3 risk-to-reward ratio maximizes profitability. It's designed to reduce false breakouts and optimize small account growth with tight stop losses and high probability setups during active trading hours.
GER40 Opening Range Breakout (Advanced)🔥 GER40 (DAX40) Opening Range Breakout Strategy
📌 Overview:
This strategy takes advantage of the high volatility and liquidity during the Frankfurt and London session openings (8:00–10:00 CET). It’s especially suitable for day traders who want to capitalize on early momentum.
✅ Strategy Steps:
1. Mark the Opening Range (08:00–08:15 CET)
Wait for the first 15 minutes after the Frankfurt open (08:00 CET).
Draw horizontal lines at the high and low of this range.
2. Entry Rules:
Buy when price breaks above the opening range high with strong volume.
Sell (short) when price breaks below the opening range low with strong volume.
3. Confirmation (optional but helpful):
Use a momentum indicator like RSI (above 50 for long, below 50 for short) or MACD crossing above/below the signal line.
Look for volume spike at breakout for validation.
4. Stop-Loss:
Set just below the range low (for long) or above the range high (for short).
Or use a fixed pip/point stop-loss like 15–25 points depending on current volatility.
5. Take Profit / Exit:
1:1.5 to 1:2 Risk/Reward Ratio.
Or scale out at fixed points (e.g., +20, +40).
Or trail stop after price moves in favor by +20 points.
📊 Additional Filters to Improve Accuracy:
Check macroeconomic calendar (avoid entering during red news like ECB, German CPI, etc.).
Use VWAP as a dynamic support/resistance for bias direction.
Use 5-min or 15-min charts for better signal clarity.
📈 Example:
Let’s say the DAX opens at 08:00 CET, and by 08:15, the high is 18,000 and the low is 17,950.
If price breaks above 18,000 with volume and RSI > 50, enter long.
Place stop at 17,950 or slightly below.
Take profit at 18,030–18,050 or trail stop.
🧠 Pro Tips:
GER40 is highly volatile, so ensure your risk per trade is small (e.g., 1% or less).
Avoid trading around major news (ECB rate decisions, German GDP, etc.).
Best sessions for GER40: Frankfurt Open (08:00 CET) and London Open (09:00 CET).
SQZMOM Breakout Strategy📌 SQZMOM Breakout Strategy – Optimized for 15-Minute Intraday Trading
SQZMOM Breakout Strategy is a momentum and volatility-based algorithmic trading system, primarily built around the Squeeze Momentum (SQZMOM) indicator. It is specifically optimized for 15-minute timeframes to exploit intraday breakouts and trend continuations.
📊 Key Features:
✅ Breakout signals based on the Squeeze Momentum indicator
✅ Trend filter using 200-period WMA (visual only, not affecting entries)
✅ RSI filter to avoid trades in overbought/oversold zones
✅ Volume and ATR filters to confirm breakout quality
✅ Position sizing dynamically scales from 5% to 20% based on signal strength
✅ Trailing Stop Loss based on user-adjustable ATR multiple (default: 2.0 ATR)
✅ No fixed Take Profit: trades ride the trend using trailing stops
⚙️ Configurable Inputs:
Bollinger Band & Keltner Channel parameters
RSI thresholds (fixed at 40 to avoid early entries against momentum)
Trailing Stop distance defined by ATR Multiplier for Trailing Stop
All parameters are user-tunable for further optimization
🟢 When Does It Enter a Trade?
Long Entry:
SQZMOM fires bullish breakout + momentum increases + price above WMA200 + sufficient volume & ATR + RSI > 40
Short Entry:
SQZMOM fires bearish breakout + momentum decreases + price below WMA200 + sufficient volume & ATR + RSI < 40
Signal entries are deferred until all filters (especially RSI) align — no crossover logic is used
🎯 Trade Management:
Position Sizing: Adjusted according to momentum strength (val), from 5% to 20%
Exit Strategy: Trailing Stop only, no hard TP — lets profits run
TP/SL logic: Trailing SL moves dynamically with price, distance = ATR × multiplier
📚 Scientific & Practical Foundations:
The model is inspired by John Carter’s “TTM Squeeze” principle: volatility contraction followed by explosive momentum
Position sizing and ATR-based trailing logic follow Ernie Chan’s adaptive risk framework in Algorithmic Trading (2013)
RSI as a trend-quality gate is consistent with classic momentum confirmation rules
