RSI/MFI Divergence Finder [idahodev]Monitoring RSI (Relative Strength Index) and MFI (Money Flow Index) divergences on a stock or index chart offers several benefits to traders and analysts. Let's break down the advantages:
Comprehensive Market View: Combining both indicators provides a more complete picture of market conditions, as they measure different aspects of price movement. RSI focuses on recent gains/losses relative to price change, while MFI incorporates volume data to assess money flow in and out of a security.
Enhanced Signal Accuracy: When divergences occur simultaneously in both RSI and MFI, it may be considered a stronger signal than if only one indicator showed divergence. This can potentially lead to more reliable trading decisions.
Identification of False Breakouts: Divergences between these indicators and price action can help identify false breakouts or misleading price movements that are not supported by underlying market strength or volume.
More Nuanced Market Understanding: By examining divergent behavior between money flow (MFI) and momentum (RSI), traders gain a more detailed comprehension of the interplay between these factors in shaping market trends.
Early Warning Signs: These divergences can act as early warning signs for potential trend reversals or changes in market sentiment, allowing traders to adjust their strategies proactively.
It's important to note that RSI/MFI divergences should be used as part of a broader trading strategy rather than solely relying on them for buy/sell signals. They can serve as valuable tools for confirming trends, identifying potential turning points, or warning against overbought/oversold conditions.
When using these indicators together, traders must be cautious of false signals, especially in choppy markets or during periods of high volatility. It's crucial to combine this analysis with other technical and fundamental factors before making trading decisions.
In summary, monitoring RSI/MFI divergences may offer a way to gain insights into the underlying strengths and weaknesses of market movements.
This utility differs from other in that it allows for a choke/threshold/sensitivity setting to help weed out noisy signals. This needs to be carefully adjusted per chart.
It also allows for tuning of the MFI smoothing length (number of bars on the current chart) as well as how many previous bars it will take into consideration when calculating RSI and MFI divergences. It will signal when it sees alignment forming between RSI and MFI divergences in a direction. You will likely need to tune this script's settings every few days or at least anytime there is a change in overall market behavior or sustained volatility.
Ultimately, the goal with this script is to provide an additional level of confirmation of weakness or strength. It should be combined with other indicators such as exhaustion, pivots, supply/demand, trendline breaks or tests, and structure changes, to name a few complementary tools or strategies. It's not meant to be a standalone buy/sell signal indicator!

StrConcatWrap█ OVERVIEW
Contains functions for concatenation and wrapping of the strings:
- concatTrunc() / concatTrunc2() - Concatenate via a separator up to a given length truncating from left or right. concatTrunc2 returns also the number of overflowing chars (in a tuple)
- print() - A powerful concatenate function truncating chars from left or right and/or lines from top or bottom. By default just adds new lines respecting max length.
- wrap() - Wraps each line of the text adding prefix/postfix. If resulting string exceeds max length truncates from the end adding " "
- scroll() Returns a range of lines from the source string.
█ FUNCTIONS

Custom Moving Average Ribbon with EMA Table & Text ColorComprehensive Description of the Custom Moving Average Ribbon with EMA Table & Text Color
The Custom Moving Average Ribbon with EMA Table & Text Color is a highly flexible and customizable indicator designed for traders who use multiple moving averages to assess trends, strength, and potential market reversals. It plots up to 8 moving averages (either SMA, EMA, WMA, or VWMA) on the price chart and displays a table summarizing the moving averages’ values, periods, and colors. The table also allows for the customization of the text color, making it easier to align with your chart’s theme or preference.
Key Features:
Multiple Moving Averages: You can display up to 8 moving averages (MA), each of which can be customized in terms of:
Type: SMA (Simple Moving Average), EMA (Exponential Moving Average), WMA (Weighted Moving Average), or VWMA (Volume-Weighted Moving Average).
Period: Each moving average has a user-defined period, which allows for flexibility depending on your trading style (short-term, medium-term, or long-term).
Enable/Disable: Each moving average can be independently enabled or disabled based on your preference.
Moving Average Ribbon: The indicator visualizes multiple moving averages as a ribbon, giving traders insight into the market's underlying trend. The interaction between these moving averages provides essential signals:
Uptrend: Shorter-term MAs above longer-term MAs, all sloping upward.
Downtrend: Shorter-term MAs below longer-term MAs, sloping downward.
Consolidation: MAs tightly packed, indicating low volatility or a sideways market.
Customizable Table: The indicator includes a table that displays:
The Name of each moving average (e.g., MA 1, MA 2, etc.).
The Period used for each moving average.
The Current Value of each moving average.
Color Coding for easier visual identification on the chart.
Text Color Customization: You can change the text color in the table to match your chart style or to ensure high visibility.
Responsive Design: This indicator works on any time frame, whether you're a day trader, swing trader, or long-term investor, and the table adjusts dynamically as new data comes in.
How to Use the Indicator
a) Trend Identification
The Custom Moving Average Ribbon helps in identifying trends and their strength. Here’s how you can interpret the plotted moving averages:
Uptrend (Bullish):
If the shorter-term moving averages (e.g., 5-period, 10-period) are above the longer-term moving averages (e.g., 50-period, 200-period), and all the MAs are sloping upward, it suggests a strong bullish trend.
The greater the separation between the moving averages, the stronger the uptrend.
Use the table to quickly verify the current value of each MA and confirm that the price is staying above most or all of the MAs.
Downtrend (Bearish):
When shorter-term moving averages are below the longer-term moving averages and all MAs are sloping downward, this indicates a bearish trend.
Greater separation between MAs indicates a stronger downtrend.
Neutral/Consolidating Market:
If the MAs are tightly packed and frequently crossing each other, the market is likely consolidating, and a strong trend is not in play.
In these situations, it’s better to wait for a clearer signal before taking any positions.
b) Reversal Signals
Golden Cross: When a short-term moving average (e.g., 50-period) crosses above a long-term moving average (e.g., 200-period), this is considered a bullish signal, suggesting a possible upward trend.
Death Cross: When a short-term moving average crosses below a long-term moving average, it’s considered a bearish signal, indicating a potential downward trend.
c) Using the Table for Quick Reference
The table allows you to monitor:
The current price value relative to each moving average. If the price is above most MAs, the market is likely in an uptrend, and if below, in a downtrend.
Changes in MA values: If you see values of shorter-term MAs moving closer to or crossing longer-term MAs, this could indicate a weakening trend or a potential reversal.
How to Combine this Indicator with Other Indicators for a Solid Strategy
The Custom Moving Average Ribbon is powerful on its own but can be enhanced when combined with other technical indicators to form a comprehensive trading strategy.
1. Combining with RSI (Relative Strength Index)
How It Works: RSI is a momentum oscillator that measures the speed and change of price movements, typically over 14 periods. It ranges from 0 to 100, with readings above 70 considered overbought and below 30 considered oversold.
Strategy:
Overbought in an Uptrend: If the moving average ribbon indicates an uptrend but the RSI shows the market is overbought (RSI > 70), it could signal a pullback or correction is imminent.
Oversold in a Downtrend: If the moving average ribbon indicates a downtrend but the RSI shows oversold conditions (RSI < 30), a bounce or reversal may be on the horizon.
2. Combining with MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence)
How It Works: MACD tracks the difference between two exponential moving averages, typically the 12-period and 26-period EMAs. It generates buy and sell signals based on crossovers and divergences.
Strategy:
Trend Confirmation: Use the MACD to confirm the direction and momentum of the trend indicated by the moving average ribbon. For example, if the MACD line crosses above the signal line while the shorter-term MAs are above the longer-term MAs, it confirms strong bullish momentum.
Divergences: Watch for divergences between price action and MACD. If price is making higher highs but MACD is making lower highs, it could signal a weakening trend, which you can verify using the moving averages.
3. Combining with Bollinger Bands
How It Works: Bollinger Bands plot two standard deviations above and below a moving average, typically the 20-period SMA. The bands widen during periods of high volatility and contract during periods of low volatility.
Strategy:
Breakout or Reversal: If price action moves above the upper Bollinger Band while the shorter-term MAs are crossing above the longer-term MAs, it confirms a strong breakout. Conversely, if price touches or falls below the lower Bollinger Band and the shorter MAs start crossing below the longer-term MAs, it indicates a potential breakdown.
Mean Reversion: In sideways markets, when the moving averages are tightly packed, Bollinger Bands can help spot mean reversion opportunities (buy near the lower band, sell near the upper band).
4. Combining with Volume Indicators
How It Works: Volume is a crucial confirmation indicator for any trend or breakout. Combining volume with the moving average ribbon can enhance your strategy.
Strategy:
Trend Confirmation: If the price breaks above the moving averages and is accompanied by high volume, it confirms a strong breakout. Similarly, if price breaks below the moving averages on high volume, it signals a strong downtrend.
Divergence: If price continues to trend in one direction but volume decreases, it could indicate a weakening trend, helping you prepare for a reversal.
Example Strategies Using the Indicator
Trend-Following Strategy:
Use the moving average ribbon to identify the main trend.
Combine with MACD or RSI for confirmation of momentum.
Enter trades when the shorter-term MAs confirm the trend and the confirmation indicator (MACD or RSI) aligns with the trend.
Exit trades when the moving averages start converging or when your confirmation indicator shows signs of reversal.
Reversal Strategy:
Wait for significant crossovers in the moving averages (Golden Cross or Death Cross).
Confirm the reversal with divergence in MACD or RSI.
Use Bollinger Bands to fine-tune your entry and exit points based on overbought/oversold conditions.
Conclusion
The Custom Moving Average Ribbon with EMA Table & Text Color indicator provides a robust framework for traders looking to use multiple moving averages to gauge trend direction, strength, and potential reversals. By combining it with other technical indicators like RSI, MACD, Bollinger Bands, and volume, you can develop a solid trading strategy that enhances accuracy, reduces false signals, and maximizes profit potential in various market conditions.
This indicator offers high flexibility with customization options, making it suitable for traders of all levels and strategies. Whether you're trend-following, scalping, or swing trading, this tool provides invaluable insights into market movements.
Thrax - Intraday Market Pressure ZonesTHRAX - INTRADAY MARKET PRESSURE ZONES
This indicator identifies potential support and resistance zones based on areas of significant market pressure. It dynamically plots these zones and adjusts their visibility based on real-time price action and user-defined thresholds. The indicator is useful for traders seeking to understand intraday market pressure, visualize zones of potential price reversals, and analyze volume imbalances at critical levels.
1. Support/Resistance Zones: Wherever the price retraces significantly from its high a support zone is drawn and when it retraces significantly from it low a resistance zone is drawn. The significant retracing is measured by the wick threshold percentage. For instance, if set to 75%, it implies price retracement of 75% either from high or from low for a particular candel
Volume delat: Displays volume delta information where the zones are formed. This can be used by trader to consider only those zones where delta is significant.
2. Breakout Detection: Monitors for price breakouts beyond established zones, deleting zones that are invalidated by price movement. when the price breaks a given zone with the threshold, it is considered to be mitigated and chances of trend continuation is decent.
Candle Coloring: Uses color codes (green, red, and yellow) to represent bullish, bearish, and indecisive (doji) candles, aiding quick visual assessment.
INPUTS
1. Wick Threshold (%) : Sets the minimum wick percentage required for a candle to be considered a support or resistance candidate.
2. Breakout Threshold (%) : Determines the percentage above or below a support or resistance zone that defines a breakout condition. if breaks a zone with the set threshold then the zone will be considered mititgated.
3. Max Number of Support/Resistance Zones : Limits the maximum number of support/resistance zones displayed on the chart, ranging from 1 to 5.
4. Show Wick Percentage Labels : Toggles the display of percentage values for upper and lower wicks on each candle.
TRADE SETUP
Identifying Entry Points: Look for the formation of support or resistance zones. Wait for price to retrace to these zones. if you are willing to take risk, you can consider even zones with low delta. If you want to be more cautious you should consider zones with high delta.
Volume Confirmation: Use the volume information to confirm the strength of the zone. Strong volume differences (displayed as labels) can indicate significant market pressure at these levels.
Breakout Trades: If price breaks through a support/resistance zone by more than the breakout threshold, consider this a signal for a potential trend continuation in the breakout direction.
Risk Management: Set stop-loss levels slightly outside of the identified zones to minimize risk in case of false breakouts. This can be set in input setting for breakout threshold.
Bonus Tip : Mark your significant highs and lows from where prices have retraced multiple times in the near past and if the zone is near these levels it can serve s a strong candidate of support or resistance
Therefore, in conclusion monitor the zones, based on delta and volume presence filter out the zone, wait for price retracement to the zone, intiate the trade with stop loss below zone with a set percentage.
Options Series - Explode BB⭐ Bullish Zone:
⭐ Bearish Zone:
⭐ Neutral Zone:
The provided script integrates Bollinger Bands with different lengths (20 and 200 periods) and applies customized candle coloring based on certain conditions. Here's a breakdown of its importance and insights:
⭐ 1. Dual Bollinger Bands (BBs):
Bollinger Bands (BB) with 20-period length:
This is the standard setting for Bollinger Bands, with a 20-period simple moving average (SMA) as the central line and upper/lower bands derived from the standard deviation.
These bands are used to identify volatility. Wider bands indicate higher volatility, while narrower bands indicate low volatility.
200-period BB:
This is a longer-term indicator providing insight into the overall trend and long-term volatility.
The 200-period bands filter out noise and offer a "macro" view of price movements compared to the 20-period bands, which focus on short-term price actions.
⭐ 2. Overlay of Bollinger Bands and SMA:
The script plots the Bollinger Bands along with the SMA (Simple Moving Average) of the 200-period BB. This gives traders both a short-term (20-period) and long-term (200-period) perspective, which is valuable for detecting major trend shifts or key support and resistance zones.
Using multiple time frames (20-period for short-term and 200-period for long-term) can help traders spot both immediate opportunities and overarching trends.
⭐ 3. Candle Coloring Based on Key Conditions:
Bullish Signal (GreenFluroscent): When the price closes above the upper 200-period Bollinger Band, the candle turns green, indicating a potential bullish breakout.
Bearish Signal (RedFluroscent): If the price closes below the lower 200-period Bollinger Band, the candle turns red, suggesting a bearish breakout.
Neutral or Uncertain Market: Candles are gray when the price remains between the upper and lower bands, indicating a lack of a strong directional bias.
This color-coded visualization allows traders to quickly assess market sentiment based on the Bollinger Bands' extremes.
⭐ 4. Strategic Importance of the Setup:
Multi-timeframe Analysis: Combining short-term (20-period) and long-term (200-period) Bollinger Bands enables traders to assess the market's overall volatility and trend strength. The longer-term bands act as a reference for broader trend direction, while the shorter-term bands can signal shorter-term pullbacks or entry/exit points.
Breakout Identification: By color-coding the candles when prices cross either the upper or lower 200-period bands, the script makes it easier to spot potential breakouts. This can be particularly helpful in trading strategies that rely on volatility expansions or trend-following tactics.
⭐ 5. Customization and Flexibility:
Custom Colors: The script uses distinct fluorescent green and red colors to highlight key bullish and bearish conditions, providing clear visual cues.
Simplicity with Flexibility: Despite its simplicity, the script leaves room for customization, allowing traders to adjust the Bollinger Band multipliers or apply different conditions to candle coloring for more nuanced setups.
This script enhances standard Bollinger Band usage by introducing multi-timeframe analysis, breakout signals, and visual cues for trend strength, making it a powerful tool for both trend-following and mean-reversion strategies.
🚀 Conclusion:
This script effectively simplifies volatility analysis by visually marking bullish, bearish, and neutral zones, making it a robust tool for identifying trade opportunities across multiple timeframes. Its dual-band approach ensures both trend-following and mean-reversion strategies are supported.
ICT Indicator with Paper TradingThe strategy implemented in the provided Pine Script is based on **ICT (Inner Circle Trader)** concepts, particularly focusing on **order blocks** to identify key levels for potential reversals or continuations in the market. Below is a detailed description of the strategy:
### 1. **Order Block Concept**
- **Order blocks** are price levels where large institutional orders accumulate, often leading to a reversal or continuation of price movement.
- In this strategy, **order blocks** are identified when:
- The high of the current bar crosses above the high of the previous bar (for bullish order blocks).
- The low of the current bar crosses below the low of the previous bar (for bearish order blocks).
### 2. **Buy and Sell Signal Generation**
The core of the strategy revolves around identifying the **breakout** of order blocks, which is interpreted as a signal to either enter or exit trades:
- **Buy Signal**:
- Generated when the closing price crosses **above** the last identified bullish order block (i.e., the highest point during the last upward crossover of highs).
- This signals a potential upward trend, and the strategy enters a long position.
- **Sell Signal**:
- Generated when the closing price crosses **below** the last identified bearish order block (i.e., the lowest point during the last downward crossover of lows).
- This signals a potential downward trend, and the strategy exits any open long positions.
### 3. **Strategy Execution**
The strategy is executed using the `strategy.entry()` and `strategy.close()` functions:
- **Enter Long Positions**: When a buy signal is generated, the strategy opens a long position (buying).
- **Exit Positions**: When a sell signal is generated, the strategy closes the long position.
### 4. **Visual Indicators on the Chart**
To make the strategy easier to follow visually, buy and sell signals are marked directly on the chart:
- **Buy signals** are indicated with a green upward-facing triangle above the bar where the signal occurred.
- **Sell signals** are indicated with a red downward-facing triangle below the bar where the signal occurred.
### 5. **Key Elements of the Strategy**
- **Trend Continuation and Reversals**: This strategy is attempting to capture trends based on the breakout of important price levels (order blocks). When the price breaks above or below a significant order block, it is expected that the market will continue in that direction.
- **Order Block Strength**: Order blocks are considered strong areas where price action could reverse or accelerate, based on how institutional investors place large orders.
### 6. **Paper Trading**
This script uses **paper trading** to simulate trades without actual money being involved. This allows users to backtest the strategy, seeing how it would have performed in historical market conditions.
### 7. **Basic Strategy Flow**
1. **Order Block Identification**: The script constantly monitors price movements to detect bullish and bearish order blocks.
2. **Buy Signal**: If the closing price crosses above the last order block high, the strategy interprets it as a sign of bullish momentum and enters a long position.
3. **Sell Signal**: If the closing price crosses below the last order block low, it signals a bearish momentum, and the strategy closes the long position.
4. **Visual Representation**: Buy and sell signals are displayed on the chart for easy identification.
### **Advantages of the Strategy:**
- **Simple and Clear Rules**: The strategy is based on clearly defined rules for identifying order blocks and trade signals.
- **Effective for Trend Following**: By focusing on breakouts of order blocks, this strategy attempts to capture strong trends in the market.
- **Visual Aids**: The plot of buy/sell signals helps traders to quickly see where trades would have been placed.
### **Limitations:**
- **No Shorting**: This strategy only enters long positions (buying). It does not account for shorting opportunities.
- **No Risk Management**: There are no built-in stop losses, trailing stops, or profit targets, which could expose the strategy to large losses during adverse market conditions.
- **Whipsaws in Range Markets**: The strategy could produce false signals in sideways or choppy markets, where breakouts are short-lived and prices quickly reverse.
### **Overall Strategy Objective:**
The goal of the strategy is to enter into long positions when the price breaks above a significant order block, and exit when it breaks below. The strategy is designed for trend-following, with the assumption that price will continue in the direction of the breakout.

Uptrick: MultiTrend Squeeze System**Uptrick: MultiTrend Squeeze System Indicator: The Ultimate Trading Tool for Precision and Versatility 📈🔥**
### Introduction
The MultiTrend Squeeze System is a powerful, multi-faceted trading indicator designed to provide traders with precise buy and sell signals by combining the strengths of multiple technical analysis tools. This script isn't just an indicator; it's a comprehensive trading system that merges the power of SuperTrend, RSI, Volume Filtering, and Squeeze Momentum to give you an unparalleled edge in the market. Whether you're a day trader looking for short-term opportunities or a swing trader aiming to catch longer-term trends, this indicator is tailored to meet your needs.
### Key Features and Unique Aspects
1. **SuperTrend with Dynamic Adjustments 📊**
- **Adaptive SuperTrend Calculation:** The SuperTrend is a popular trend-following indicator that adjusts dynamically based on market conditions. It uses the Average True Range (ATR) to calculate upper and lower bands, which shift according to market volatility. This script takes it further by combining it with the RSI and Volume filtering to provide more accurate signals.
- **Direction Sensitivity:** The SuperTrend here is not static. It adjusts based on the direction of the previous SuperTrend value, ensuring that the indicator remains relevant even in choppy markets.
2. **RSI Integration for Overbought/Oversold Conditions 💹**
- **RSI Calculation:** The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is incorporated to identify overbought and oversold conditions, adding an extra layer of precision. This helps in filtering out false signals and ensuring that trades are taken only in optimal conditions.
- **Customizable RSI Settings:** The RSI settings are fully customizable, allowing traders to adjust the RSI length and the overbought/oversold levels according to their trading style and market.
3. **Volume Filtering for Enhanced Signal Confirmation 📉**
- **Volume Multiplier:** This unique feature integrates volume analysis, ensuring that signals are only generated when there is sufficient market participation. The Volume Multiplier can be adjusted to filter out weak signals that occur during low-volume periods.
- **Optional Volume Filtering:** Traders have the flexibility to turn the volume filter on or off, depending on their preference or market conditions. This makes the indicator versatile, allowing it to be used across different asset classes and market conditions.
4. **Squeeze Momentum Indicator (SMI) for Market Pressure Analysis 💥**
- **Squeeze Detection:** The Squeeze Momentum Indicator detects periods of market compression and expansion. This script goes beyond the traditional Bollinger Bands and Keltner Channels by incorporating true range calculations, offering a more nuanced view of market momentum.
- **Customizable Squeeze Settings:** The lengths and multipliers for both Bollinger Bands and Keltner Channels are customizable, giving traders the flexibility to fine-tune the indicator based on their specific needs.
5. **Visual and Aesthetic Customization 🎨**
- **Color-Coding for Clarity:** The indicator is color-coded to make it easy to interpret signals. Bullish trends are marked with a vibrant green color, while bearish trends are highlighted in red. Neutral or unconfirmed signals are displayed in softer tones to reduce noise.
- **Histogram Visualization:** The primary trend direction and strength are displayed as a histogram, making it easy to visualize the market's momentum at a glance. The height and color of the bars provide immediate feedback on the strength and direction of the trend.
6. **Alerts for Real-Time Trading 🚨**
- **Custom Alerts:** The script is equipped with custom alerts that notify traders when a buy or sell signal is generated. These alerts can be configured to send notifications through various channels, including email, SMS, or directly to the trading platform.
- **Immediate Reaction:** The alerts are triggered based on the confluence of SuperTrend, RSI, and Volume signals, ensuring that traders are notified only when the most robust trading opportunities arise.
7. **Comprehensive Input Customization ⚙️**
- **SuperTrend Settings:** Adjust the ATR length and factor to control the sensitivity of the SuperTrend. This allows you to adapt the indicator to different market conditions, whether you're trading a volatile cryptocurrency or a more stable stock.
- **RSI Settings:** Customize the RSI length and thresholds for overbought and oversold conditions, enabling you to tailor the indicator to your specific trading strategy.
- **Volume Settings:** The Volume Multiplier and the option to toggle the volume filter provide an additional layer of customization, allowing you to fine-tune the indicator based on market liquidity and participation.
- **Squeeze Momentum Settings:** The lengths and multipliers for Bollinger Bands and Keltner Channels can be adjusted to detect different levels of market compression, providing flexibility for both short-term and long-term traders.
### How It Works: A Deep Dive Into the Mechanics 🛠️
1. **SuperTrend Calculation:**
- The SuperTrend is calculated using the ATR, which measures market volatility. The indicator creates upper and lower bands around the price, adjusting these bands based on the current level of market volatility. The direction of the trend is determined by the position of the price relative to these bands.
- The script enhances the standard SuperTrend by ensuring that the bands do not flip-flop too quickly, reducing the chances of false signals in a choppy market. The direction is confirmed by checking the position of the close relative to the previous band, making the trend detection more reliable.
2. **RSI Integration:**
- The RSI is calculated over a customizable length and compared to user-defined overbought and oversold levels. When the RSI crosses below the oversold level, and the SuperTrend indicates a bullish trend, a buy signal is generated. Conversely, when the RSI crosses above the overbought level, and the SuperTrend indicates a bearish trend, a sell signal is triggered.
- The combination of RSI with SuperTrend ensures that trades are only taken when there is a strong confluence of signals, reducing the chances of entering trades during weak or indecisive market phases.
3. **Volume Filtering:**
- The script calculates the average volume over a 20-period simple moving average. The volume filter ensures that buy and sell signals are only valid when the current volume exceeds a multiple of this average, which can be adjusted by the user. This feature helps filter out weak signals that might occur during low-volume periods, such as just before a major news event or during after-hours trading.
- The volume filter is particularly useful in markets where volume spikes are common, as it ensures that signals are only generated when there is significant market interest in the direction of the trend.
4. **Squeeze Momentum:**
- The Squeeze Momentum Indicator (SMI) adds a layer of market pressure analysis. The script calculates Bollinger Bands and Keltner Channels, detecting when the market is in a "squeeze" — a period of low volatility that typically precedes a significant price move.
- When the Bollinger Bands are inside the Keltner Channels, the market is in a squeeze (compression phase). This is often a precursor to a breakout or breakdown. The script colors the histogram bars black during this phase, indicating a potential for a strong move. Once the squeeze is released, the bars are colored according to the direction of the SuperTrend, signaling a potential entry point.
5. **Integration and Signal Generation:**
- The script brings together the SuperTrend, RSI, Volume, and Squeeze Momentum to generate highly accurate buy and sell signals. A buy signal is triggered when the SuperTrend is bullish, the RSI indicates oversold conditions, and the volume filter confirms strong market participation. Similarly, a sell signal is generated when the SuperTrend is bearish, the RSI indicates overbought conditions, and the volume filter is met.
- The combination of these elements ensures that the signals are robust, reducing the likelihood of entering trades during weak or indecisive market conditions.
### Practical Applications: How to Use the MultiTrend Squeeze System 📅
1. **Day Trading:**
- For day traders, this indicator provides quick and reliable signals that can be used to enter and exit trades multiple times within a day. The volume filter ensures that you are trading during the most liquid times of the day, increasing the chances of successful trades. The Squeeze Momentum aspect helps you catch breakouts or breakdowns, which are common in intraday trading.
2. **Swing Trading:**
- Swing traders can use the MultiTrend Squeeze System to identify longer-term trends. By adjusting the ATR length and factor, you can make the SuperTrend more sensitive to catch longer-term moves. The RSI and Squeeze Momentum aspects help you time your entries and exits, ensuring that you get in early on a trend and exit before it reverses.
3. **Scalping:**
- For scalpers, the quick signals provided by this system, especially in combination with the volume filter, make it easier to take small profits repeatedly. The histogram bars give you a clear visual cue of the market's momentum, making it easier to scalp effectively.
4. **Position Trading:**
- Even position traders can benefit from this indicator by using it to confirm long-term trends. By adjusting the settings to less sensitive parameters, you can ensure that you are only entering trades when a strong trend is confirmed. The Squeeze Momentum indicator will help you stay in the trade during periods of consolidation, waiting for the next big move.

Predictive Order Blocks [CryptoSea]The Predictive Order Blocks Indicator is a unique and innovative tool that enhances market analysis by identifying support and resistance blocks based on standard deviations from a median line. Unlike traditional indicators that rely solely on the close price, this indicator leverages the median line and standard deviations to form areas of interest, rather than targeting a single price point. This approach provides a more accurate representation of market structure, especially during periods of consolidation and expansion.
Key Features
Multi-Term Length Analysis: The indicator offers short, medium, and long-term settings, allowing traders to customise the analysis based on their preferred trading strategy and timeframe. This flexibility ensures that the tool is adaptable to various market conditions and trading styles.
Standard Deviation-Based Order Blocks: The core functionality of the indicator revolves around calculating standard deviations from a median line to form support and resistance blocks. These blocks provide a clearer and more reliable picture of market structure compared to single-point levels. By focusing on areas rather than exact price levels, the indicator helps traders identify zones where price is likely to react, leading to more informed trading decisions.
Dynamic Box Creation: The indicator dynamically creates breakout boxes based on user-selected standard deviation ranges. These boxes are formed at the start of market expansion following periods of consolidation. This feature is particularly useful because it highlights key levels where price is likely to retrace after breaking out, providing traders with actionable insights during market transitions.
Proximity-Based Gradient Colors: The indicator features gradient colors that change based on the price's proximity to the standard deviation bands. This visual aid helps traders quickly assess the current market condition and the potential significance of the support and resistance blocks.
Adaptive Display Options: To accommodate different trading preferences, the indicator includes options to toggle the display of the trend line (median line) and the standard deviation bands. This flexibility allows traders to customise their chart view to match their analysis style, whether they prefer a more clutter-free view or a detailed breakdown of market levels.
In the example below, the indicator shows the bands compressing during a period of consolidation, highlighting the potential for a breakout.
How it Works
Median Line Calculation: The indicator calculates the median line using a user-defined period. This line serves as the central reference point from which the standard deviations are calculated. By using the median line instead of just the close price, the indicator provides a more stable and reliable baseline for identifying support and resistance areas.
Standard Deviation Bands: Around the median line, the indicator calculates multiple standard deviation bands. These bands represent areas where price is statistically likely to find support or resistance. By focusing on these areas, traders can better anticipate where price might react, rather than relying on arbitrary levels.
Dynamic Box Creation and Expansion Detection: The indicator monitors the compression and expansion of the standard deviation bands. During periods of low volatility (squeeze), the bands compress, indicating consolidation. Once the bands start expanding, it signals the potential for a breakout. At this point, the indicator dynamically creates predictive order blocks based on the selected standard deviation range. These blocks highlight key levels where price might retrace or react, providing traders with valuable entry and exit points.
Color-Coded Proximity Alerts: To further enhance usability, the indicator uses color gradients to indicate how close the current price is to the calculated bands. This visual representation helps traders quickly assess the potential significance of the price's current position relative to the support and resistance areas.
In the example below, the indicator shows the bands expanding with the price, triggering the formation of the predictive order block.
In the final example, the price retraces into the order block before bouncing back to the upside, demonstrating the effectiveness of the identified support area.
Alerts
Trend Line Alerts: The indicator provides alerts when the price crosses above or below the trend line (median line). This feature is crucial for traders looking to identify potential trend changes early, allowing them to act quickly on emerging opportunities.
Band Alerts: Alerts are also triggered when the price crosses above or below the upper or lower bands for each standard deviation level. This helps traders identify potential breakout or breakdown scenarios, ensuring they are notified of significant market movements as they happen.
Customisable Alert Conditions: To cater to different trading strategies, the indicator allows users to set alert conditions for each standard deviation band and the trend line. This level of customisation ensures that traders receive alerts that are relevant to their specific trading style and market analysis.
Application
Strategic Decision-Making: The Predictive Order Blocks Indicator assists traders in making informed decisions by providing detailed analysis of potential breakout zones. By identifying key support and resistance areas, the indicator helps traders plan their entries and exits with greater precision.
Trend Confirmation: The indicator reinforces trading strategies by identifying key levels where price is likely to react. This confirmation is crucial for traders looking to enter trades with higher confidence.
Customized Analysis: The indicator adapts to various trading styles with extensive input settings that control the display and calculation of order blocks. Whether you're a day trader, swing trader, or long-term investor, the indicator can be tailored to meet your specific needs.
Visual Clarity: With customizable color settings and display options, the indicator enhances chart readability, allowing traders to quickly and easily interpret market data.

Liquidity Trendline With Signals [BigBeluga]The Liquidity Trendline is an indicator designed to identify potential breakouts by utilizing pivot points. These pivotal moments can trigger significant market reactions, either by breaking out or by serving as breakout and retest signals.
🔶 FEATURES
The indicator contains the following features:
Period of the calculation
Padding (spacing between the 2 lines)
Signal for breakouts
🔶 USAGE
As shown in the example, breakouts can be powerful points to see reversions in the market and can lead to a lot of volatility in the market.
When a trendline is broken, a signal will be plotted; the user can disable/enable those signals.
A trendline is formed when 2 consecutive pivot points are found, each of them lower or higher than the previous one. this is the anchor point for our trend line that we will use to spot rejection or breakouts
The delay in the creation of those trend lines will be the period input used to find the pivot point on the chart.
Another good example is using these trendlines as simple retests.
Prices bouncing on top of them will suggest a possible continuation of the current trend.
We can filter out stronger breakouts by looking at how many times the price has rejected the trendline, more rejections will result in more liquidity once the price breaks it.
Signals are plotted on the chart for every breakout that happens.
Another good utility is simply using them as retest once the price breaks those levels and holding above/below them, indicating a possible support or resistance area used for confluence
Here is another good example of how we can correctly spot price deviating from our trendline and spotting powerful continuation in price.
As said before we can filter out bad and good breakouts simply by looking at how many times rejected from those levels.
More rejection will result in a stronger reaction
🔶 CONCLUSION
This script is as simple as that and can be used in a few ways to spot reversals, price continuation, or even sentiment in price (bullish or bearish).
DTR & ATR
Description
This ATR and DTR label is update of Existing Label provided by © ssksubam
Please See Notes on original Script Here :
Original Code is not mine but I have done few code changes which I believe will help everyone who are looking to add more labels together and save space on the chart
ATR & DTR Script is very helpful for Day Traders as I will explain in detail bellow
Following are changes I have incorporated
Previous Label took more space on the charts with Header and Footer.
I removed the Header and moved both DTR vs ATR descriptions on the same line, saving space on the chart.
I updated the code to remove => signs, which are self-explanatory as I will explain below.
I made the label in 1 single compact line for maximum space efficiency and aesthetics.
These changes improve the content's clarity and conciseness while optimizing space on the charts. If you have any further requests or need additional assistance, feel free to let me know!
What Does DTR Signify?
Stock ATR stands for Average True Range, which is a technical indicator used in trading and investment analysis. The Average True Range measures the volatility of a stock over a given period of time. It provides insights into the price movement and potential price ranges of the stock.
The ATR is calculated as the average of the true ranges over a specific number of periods. The true range is the greatest of the following three values:
The difference between the current high and the current low.
The absolute value of the difference between the current high and the previous close.
The absolute value of the difference between the current low and the previous close.
Traders and investors use ATR to assess the potential risk and reward of a stock. A higher ATR value indicates higher volatility and larger price swings, while a lower ATR value suggests lower volatility and smaller price movements. By understanding the ATR, traders can set appropriate stop-loss levels and make informed decisions about position sizing and risk management.
It's important to note that the ATR is not a directional indicator like moving averages or oscillators. Instead, it provides a measure of volatility, helping traders adapt their strategies to suit the current market conditions.
What Does ATR Signify?
The Average True Range (ATR) signifies the level of volatility or price variability in a particular financial asset, such as a stock, currency pair, or commodity, over a specific period of time. It provides valuable information to traders and investors regarding the potential risk and reward associated with the asset.
Here are the key significances of ATR:
Volatility Measurement: ATR measures the average price range between high and low prices over a specified timeframe. Higher ATR values indicate greater volatility, while lower values suggest lower volatility. Traders use this information to gauge the potential price movements and adjust their strategies accordingly.
Risk Assessment: A higher ATR value implies larger price swings, indicating increased market uncertainty and risk. Traders can use ATR to set appropriate stop-loss levels and manage risk by adjusting position sizes based on the current volatility.
Trend Strength: ATR can also be used to assess the strength of a trend. In an uptrend or downtrend, ATR tends to increase, indicating a more powerful price movement. Conversely, a declining ATR might signify a weakening trend or a consolidation period.
Range-Bound Market Identification: In a range-bound or sideways market, the ATR value tends to be relatively low, reflecting the lack of significant price movements. This information can be helpful for range-trading strategies.
Volatility Breakouts: Traders often use ATR to identify potential breakouts from consolidation patterns. When the ATR value expands significantly, it may indicate the beginning of a new trend or a breakout move.
Comparison between Assets: ATR allows traders to compare the volatility of different
How to use DTR & ATR for Trading
Using Average True Range (ATR) and Daily Trading Range (DTR) can be beneficial for day trading to assess potential price movements, manage risk, and identify trading opportunities. Here's how you can use both indicators effectively:
Calculate ATR and DTR: First, calculate the ATR and DTR values for the asset you are interested in trading. ATR is the average of true ranges over a specified period (e.g., 14 days), while DTR is the difference between the high and low prices of a single trading day.
Assess Volatility: Compare the ATR and DTR values to understand the current volatility of the asset. Higher values indicate increased volatility, while lower values suggest reduced volatility.
Setting Stop-Loss: Use ATR to set appropriate stop-loss levels. For example, you might decide to set your stop-loss a certain number of ATR points away from your entry point. This approach allows you to factor in market volatility when determining your risk tolerance.
Identify Trading Range: Analyze DTR to determine the typical daily price range of the asset. This information can help you identify potential support and resistance levels, which are essential for day trading strategies such as breakout or range trading.
Breakout Strategies: ATR can assist in identifying potential breakout opportunities. When ATR values increase significantly, it suggests an expansion in volatility, which may indicate an upcoming breakout from a trading range. Look for breakouts above resistance or below support levels with higher than usual ATR values.
Scalping Strategies: For scalping strategies, where traders aim to profit from small price movements within a single trading session, knowing the typical DTR can help set reasonable profit targets and stop-loss levels.
Confirming Trend Strength: In day trading, you may encounter short-term trends. Use ATR to assess the strength of these trends. If the ATR is rising, it suggests a strong trend, while a declining ATR may indicate a weakening trend or potential reversal.
Risk Management: Both ATR and DTR can aid in risk management. Determine your position size based on the current ATR value to align it with your risk tolerance. Additionally, understanding the DTR can help you avoid overtrading during periods of low volatility.
Combine with Other Indicators: ATR and DTR work well when used in conjunction with other technical indicators like moving averages, Bollinger Bands, or RSI. Combining multiple indicators can provide a mor
Fair Value Gap [MyTradingCoder]Introducing the "Fair Value Gap" indicator, a powerful tool designed to identify and visualize areas of potential market gaps where leftover orders may reside. This indicator utilizes price action analysis, specifically focusing on fair value gaps that occur between the current candle and the candle two bars prior.
The Fair Value Gap indicator draws customizable zones on the chart, representing bullish or bearish areas with distinct green or red colors. These zones highlight market gaps where price action has left a void, indicating the possibility of significant order activity in that region.
Key Features:
Liquidity Zone: Utilize the Fair Value Gap zones as areas of liquidity, offering potential entry points for trades.
Support/Resistance Indicator: Configure the indicator to extend beyond the initial breakout or gap fill, allowing it to act as a support/resistance zone indicator.
The Fair Value Gap indicator has several adjustable settings to customize its behavior according to your trading preferences. These settings include:
Invalidation Outcome: Choose how the fair value gap zone is treated when it becomes invalidated. Options include:
-Stop Updating: Maintain the gap zone in its current state without further updates.
-Delete: Completely remove the fair value gap from the screen.
Invalidation Method: Determine the logic that invalidates the fair value gap. Options include:
-Gap Fill: Visually shrink the zone as price action closes the gap until it is completely filled, at which point it gets deleted entirely.
-Number Of Breakouts: Invalidate the gap after a certain number of breaks or flips over the zone's border. Configure the allowed number of breakouts with the "Breakouts Until Invalidation" input.
-Age Of Gap: Invalidate the gap after a specified number of bars have passed since its creation. Set the threshold with the "Bars Until Invalidation" input.
Color Customization: Customize the appearance of the fair value gap zones with various color inputs, including bullish and bearish border colors, middle line color (shared for both bullish and bearish gaps), bullish and bearish background colors.
Line Width: Adjust the width of the border lines and the center line within the fair value gap zone for better visual clarity.
Please note that the Fair Value Gap indicator is a valuable tool but should be used alongside other technical analysis methods to make well-informed trading decisions. It does not guarantee profitable trades but aims to provide insights into potential areas of interest.
Discover opportunities within market gaps and leverage the power of leftover orders with the Fair Value Gap indicator—an indispensable asset in your trading toolkit.
HILOCLOP AnalysisThe "HILOCLOP Analysis" indicator is designed to analyze price data based on different conditions and provide insights into market trends and patterns. Let's break down its features and understand its potential usefulness in trading:
Sample Length: The indicator allows the user to specify the sample length, which determines the number of bars or periods considered for the analysis. This parameter can be adjusted to capture short-term or long-term trends and patterns in the market.
Raw Up/Down Analysis: The indicator calculates the number of occurrences where the current price values (high, low, open, close) are higher or lower than their previous values. It provides separate counts for each price component. By visualizing these counts on the chart, traders can identify periods of upward or downward movement in the price data.
HICLOP Analysis: The indicator offers a color scheme option called "HICLOP," which determines the color of the plotted results. If the HICLOP analysis is enabled, the plots representing raw up/down counts will have different colors based on whether the current count is higher or lower than the previous count. This color coding helps traders quickly identify changes in price trends.
Unchecking this Box will Show the general trend.
Raw HICLOP Color Scheme
Trend Color Scheme
Analysis Up vs. Down: The indicator provides an option to analyze instances where all four price components (high, low, open, close) are higher or lower than their respective previous values. This analysis helps traders identify periods of strong upward or downward movement in the market.
Analysis High vs. Low: The indicator compares the number of occurrences where the current high is higher than the previous high and the current low is higher than the previous low. It provides insights into whether the market is experiencing higher highs or higher lows, which can help traders determine the strength of an upward or downward trend.
Analysis Open vs. Close: The indicator compares the number of occurrences where the current close is higher than the previous close and the current open is higher than the previous open. This analysis helps traders assess the relationship between opening and closing prices, providing insights into the strength of buying or selling pressure in the market.
The usefulness of the "HILOCLOP Analysis" indicator in trading depends on the specific trading strategy and the trader's preferences. Here are a few potential use cases:
Trend Identification: By analyzing the raw up/down counts and the HICLOP color scheme, traders can identify trends and changes in price momentum. Increasing raw up counts and corresponding color changes to positive values may indicate an upward trend, while increasing raw down counts and negative color changes may suggest a downward trend.
Confirmation of Breakouts: Traders often look for confirmation of breakouts from key levels or chart patterns. The "Analysis Up V Dn" feature can help identify instances where all four price components simultaneously confirm a breakout, indicating a potentially significant move in the market.
Trend Reversals: The "Analysis High V Low" and "Analysis Open V Close" features can provide insights into potential trend reversals. For example, if there are more higher highs than higher lows, it may indicate a weakening trend, potentially signaling a reversal or a correction.
[DisDev] D-I-Y Gridbot🟩 This script is a “do-it-yourself” Grid Bot Simulator, used for visualizing support and resistance levels. Prices are divided into grids, or trade zones, that will trigger signals each time a new zone is entered. During ranging markets, each transaction is followed by a “take profit.” As the market starts to trend, transactions are stacked (compare to DCA ), until the market consolidates. No signals are triggered above the upper gridline or below the lower gridline. Unlike the previous version, all grids may be adjusted in real-time by dragging the gridlines up and down to the desired support and resistance levels.
When adding the indicator to a new chart, you must choose six grid levels by clicking on the desired support or resistance price. You can change all of these levels at any time directly on the chart.
⚡ OVERVIEW ⚡
The D-I-Y Gridbot is an interactive tool designed for visualizing support and resistance levels. As a continuation of the original Gridbot Simulator , which has received significant recognition on TradingView, earning over 4000 boosts and an Editor's Pick status. This tool serves not only as an evolved version of its predecessor, but also as an open-source template for developing future gridbots. It aims to foster discussions and facilitate innovations around grid-trading strategies.
One of the new features of this gridbot is the real-time adjustability of all gridlines. Users can move these lines up and down to set their desired support and resistance levels in response to changing market conditions. Additionally, the D-I-Y Gridbot is compatible with multiple timeframes and can be used on most TradingView charts.
Drag gridlines up or down to desired price level.

⚙️ CONFIGURATION & SETTINGS ⚙️
Inputs 🔧
Trigger : Candle location to trigger the signal. "Wick" will use either high or low, depending on the signal direction. "Close" will use the close price. “MA” will use the selected moving average or VWAP.
Confirmation : Market direction to confirm the candle trigger. "Reverse" will confirm the signal when the price crosses back over the trigger. "Breakout" will confirm when the price breaks out of the trigger.
Number of Support/Resistance zones : 1 = Only Top Grid is Support/Only Bottom Grid is Resistance. 2 = Top two grids are Resistance/Bottom two grids are Support. 3 = Top three grids are Resistance/Bottom three grids are Support
MA Type : Exponential Moving Average (EMA), Hull Moving Average (HMA), Simple Moving Average (SMA), Triple Exponential Moving Average (TEMA), Volume Weighted Moving Average (VWMA), Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP)
MA Filter : Use Moving Average as a reversion filter for signals. When enabled, no buys when above MA, no sells when below. Use in conjunction with S/R zones to reduce false signals.
Allow Repeat Signals . When enabled, signals will reset when nearest gridline is triggered. When disabled, only one signal will be triggered per gridline.
Line/Fill colors
Gridlines . Adjusts gridline prices manually.
Left : Trigger = Wick. Confirm = Breakout. Buys are signaled when LOW breaks below gridline. Sells are triggered when HIGH breaks above gridline.
Right : Trigger = Close. Confirm = Breakout. Buys are signaled when the candle CLOSES below the gridline. Sells are triggered when the candle CLOSES above the gridline.
Left : Confirm=Breakout. Signals on breaking through the next gridline.
Right : Confirm=Reverse. Signals only when crossing back from the gridline.
S/R Zones=1. Upper gridline is Resistance / Lower is Support. Middle 4 are neutral.
S/R Zones = 3. Upper three gridlines are Resistance / Lower three are Support
Notes:
If gridlines are dragged out of order on a live chart, they will auto-sort into the correct order.
Price levels may be entered in settings, or adjusted in real-time directly on the chart.
When changing symbols, remember to adjust the gridlines to accommodate the new symbol.
Alerts 🔔
Users can set alerts based on their chosen parameters for triggers, confirmations, number of support/resistance zones, and smoothing type, enabling precise control over alert conditions.

⚠️ DISCLAIMER ⚠️
This indicator is a proof-of-concept and is considered experimental and educational. When gridlines are drawn in hindsight, signals appear to be predictive and valid. Future results may always vary when the trend direction changes. Comments and suggestions are encouraged.
This indicator is provided as a tool for traders and should not be used as the sole basis for making trading decisions. Always conduct your own research and consider your risk tolerance before entering any trades.
SuperBollingerTrend (Expo)█ Overview
The SuperBollingerTrend indicator is a combination of two popular technical analysis tools, Bollinger Bands, and SuperTrend. By fusing these two indicators, SuperBollingerTrend aims to provide traders with a more comprehensive view of the market, accounting for both volatility and trend direction. By combining trend identification with volatility analysis, the SuperBollingerTrend indicator provides traders with valuable insights into potential trend changes. It recognizes that high volatility levels often accompany stronger price momentum, which can result in the formation of new trends or the continuation of existing ones.
█ How Volatility Impacts Trends
Volatility can impact trends by expanding or contracting them, triggering trend reversals, leading to breakouts, and influencing risk management decisions. Traders need to analyze and monitor volatility levels in conjunction with trend analysis to gain a comprehensive understanding of market dynamics.
█ How to use
Trend Reversals: High volatility can result in more dramatic price fluctuations, which may lead to sharp trend reversals. For example, a sudden increase in volatility can cause a bullish trend to transition into a bearish one, or vice versa, as traders react to significant price swings.
Volatility Breakouts: Volatility can trigger breakouts in trends. Breakouts occur when the price breaks through a significant support or resistance level, indicating a potential shift in the trend. Higher volatility levels can increase the likelihood of breakouts, as they indicate stronger market momentum and increased buying or selling pressure. This indicator triggers when the volatility increases, and if the price is near a key level when the indicator alerts, it might trigger a great trend.
█ Features
Peak Signal Move
The indicator calculates the peak price move for each ZigZag and displays it under each signal. This highlights how much the market moved between the signals.
Average ZigZag Move
All price moves between two signals are stored, and the average or the median is calculated and displayed in a table. This gives traders a great idea of how much the market moves on average between two signals.
Take Profit
The Take Profit line is placed at the average or the median price move and gives traders a great idea of what they can expect in average profit from the latest signals.

Trendlines 2x ver. 5 plus GMMA modifiedthis is a copy of "Trendlines 2x +" Script by Lij_MC (but converted to Version 5 of Pine script), which draws trendlines from the pivot points in the price chart and also add some arrows from "Guppy Multiple Moving Averages" Indicator by optictropic for trend confirmation.
I Change this code from Pine script 4 to 5 to add some functionalities to it.
Some adjustments of parameters have been made by me to easy recognition of Trendline breaks.
These parameters are in the original code, but I make them default for nicer look of the indicator and easier recognition of Trendline breaks.
for example, breaking the primary trendlines are shown by color change of the candles and in the same time by a Break symbol as a label.
breaking the secondary trendlines are shown only by candle color. Extension of the secondary trendlines are set to 50 candles to better recognize the past trendlines .
color candles are set to default to easily see the trend direction of the chart.
I have also added some arrows by the help of "Guppy Multiple Moving Averages" indicator by optictropic, that can be used for confirmation of trend direction.
I think this can represent good looking trend direction and trendline breaks can help traders for a better trade decision.
for better trading with this indicator, buy when you have green or lime color for candles, and GMMA gives UP long arrow signals, check higher time frames, and at last, this is only a help but not a final decision making indicator. you must have your own price action analysis.

Trap Trading
Trap trading is a trading strategy that seeks to profit from false breakouts in financial markets. This strategy is based on the idea that when the market breaks through a key level of support or resistance, many traders will take that as a signal to enter or exit trades, causing the price to move further in the breakout direction.
However, in some cases, the market will quickly reverse course and move in the opposite direction, trapping those traders who entered the trade based on the breakout. This can create a trading opportunity for those who are able to identify the false breakout and trade in the opposite direction.
The trap trading strategy typically involves identifying a key level of support or resistance on a price chart and then waiting for the market to break through that level. If the price continues to move in the breakout direction, the trader may enter a trade in that direction with a stop loss set just below the breakout level.
However, if the market quickly reverses and moves back below the breakout level, the trader may enter a trade in the opposite direction with a stop loss set just above the breakout level. The idea is to take advantage of the trapped traders who entered the trade based on the false breakout, and profit from the market's reversal.
As with any trading strategy, there are risks and potential drawbacks to trap trading. False breakouts can be difficult to identify, and there is always the risk that the market will continue to move in the breakout direction, resulting in losses for the trader. Additionally, trap trading requires a solid understanding of technical analysis and market trends, which may take time and experience to develop.
Markdown: The Pine Editor's Hidden Gem💬 Markdown, a markup language
Markdown is a portable, lightweight markup language that can be used for everything whether you're building a website, documentation, or even presentations.
Platforms like Discord, Reddit, and GitHub support Markdown and is the widely go-to option for text formatting due to its simplicity. Pine Script is a language that also utilizes Markdown, specifically in the Pine Editor where it can really be used to some extent.
Since the release of libraries, user-defined types, and methods, Pine Script is entering an age where developers will be highly dependent on libraries due to the capabilities Pine has inherited recently. It would be no surprise if a few people got together and took their time to thoroughly develop an entire project/library centered around improving Pine Script's built-in functions and providing developers with easier ways of achieving things than they thought they could.
As you're all aware, hovering over functions (and more) in the editor pops up a prompt that specifies the parameters, types, and what the function returns. Pine Script uses Markdown for that, so I figured we could go ahead and push that feature to its limits and see what we can do.
Today we'll go over how we can utilize Markdown in Pine Script, and how you can make your library's built-in functions stand out more than they did previously.
For more information, visit www.markdownguide.org
📕 General Notes
Markdown syntax only works on functions and methods.
Using arrays as parameters as of 2/21/2023 breaks the Markdown system.
The prompt window holds a max of 166 characters on one line before overflowing.
There is no limit on how long the prompt window can be.
🔽 Getting Started 🔽
▶️ Headings
If you have experience in HTML, Markdown, or even Microsoft Word then you already have a grasp of how headings work and look.
To simplify it, headings make the given text either massive or tiny depending on how many number symbols are provided.
When defining headings, you must have a space between the number (#) symbol, and the text. This is typical syntax throughout the language.
Pine Script uses bold text by applying (**) for their titles on their built-ins (e.g. @returns) but you could also use heading level 4 (####) and have it look the same.
▶️ Paragraphs & Line Breaks
You may want to provide extensive details and examples relating to one function, in this case, you could create line breaks. Creating line breaks skips to the next line so you can keep things organized as a result.
To achieve a valid line break and create a new paragraph, you must end the line with two or more spaces.
If you want to have an empty line in between, apply a backslash (\).
Backslashes (\) are generally not recommended for every line break. In this case, I only recommend using them for empty lines.
▶️ Text Formatting
Markdown provides text formatting such as bold, italics, and strikethrough.
For bolding text, you can apply open and close (**) or (__).
For italicizing text, you can apply open and close (*) or (_).
For bolding and italicizing text, you can apply open and close (***) or (___).
For s̶t̶r̶i̶k̶e̶t̶h̶r̶o̶u̶g̶h̶, you need to apply open and close (~~).
This was mentioned in the Headers section, but Pine Script's main titles (e.g. @returns or @syntax) use bold (**) by default.
▶️ Blockquotes
Blockquotes in Pine Script can be visualized as a built-in indentation system.
They are declared using greater than (>) and everything will be auto-aligned and indented until closed.
By convention you generally want to include the greater than (>) on every line that's included in the block quote. Even when not needed.
If you would like to indent even more (nested blockquotes), you can apply multiple greater than symbols (>). For example, (>>)
Blockquotes can be closed by ending the next line with only one greater than (>) symbol, or by using a horizontal rule.
▶️ Horizontal Rules
Horizontal rules in Pine Script are what you see at the very top of the prompt in built-ins.
When hovering, you can see the top of the prompt provides a line, and we can actually reproduce these lines.
These are extremely useful for separating information into their own parts and are accessed by applying 3 underscores (___), or 3 asterisks (***).
Horizontal rules were mentioned above, when we were discussing block quotes. These can also be used to close blockquotes as well.
Horizontal rules require a minimum of 3 underscores (___) or 3 asterisks (***).
▶️ Lists
Lists give us a way to structure data in a somewhat neat way. There are multiple ways to start a list, such as
1. First Item (number followed by a period)
- First Item (dash)
+ First Item (plus sign)
* First Item (asterisk)
Using number-based lists provide an ordered list, whereas using (-), (+), or (*) will provide an unordered list (bullet points).
If you want to begin an unordered list with a number that ends with a period, you must use an escape sequence (\) after the number.
Standard indentation (tab-width) list detection isn't supported, so to nest lists you have to use blockquotes (>) which may not look as appealing.
▶️ Code Blocks
Using code blocks allows you to write actual Pine Script code inside the prompt.
It's a game changer that can potentially help people understand how to execute functions quickly.
To use code blocks, apply three 3 open and close backquotes (```). Built-in's use (```pine) but there's no difference when we apply it.
Considering that tab-width indentation isn't detected properly, we can make use of the blockquotes mentioned above.
▶️ Denotation
Denoting can also be seen as highlighting a background layer behind text. They're basically code blocks, but without the "block".
Similar to how code blocks work, we apply one backquote open and close (`).
Make sure to only use this on important keywords. There really isn't a conventional way of applying this.
It's up to you to decide what people should have their eyes tracked onto when they hover over your functions.
If needed, look at how Pine Script's built-in variables and functions utilize this.
▶️ Tables
Tables are possible in Markdown, although they may look a bit different in the Pine Editor.
They are made by separating text with vertical bars (|).
The headers are detected when there is a minimum of one hyphen (-) below them.
You can align text by using a colon as I do in the photo. Hyphens must be connected to the colon in order to display correctly.
Tables aren't ideal to use in the editor but are there if anyone wants to give it a go.
▶️ Links & Images
Markdown supports images and hyperlinks, which means we can also do that here in the Pine Editor. Cool right?
If you want to create a hyperlink, surround the displayed text in open and close brackets .
If you want to load a photo into your prompt, it's the same syntax as the hyperlink, except it uses a (!)
See syntax list below.
Here are realistic usage examples. (Snippets from code below)
These follow the same syntax as the built-ins.
I'm not using horizontal rules here, but it's entirely up to you.

Band-Zigzag - TrendFollower Strategy [Trendoscope]Strategy Time!!!
Have built this on my earlier published indicator Band-Zigzag-Trend-Follower . This is just one possible implementation of strategy on Band-Based-Zigzag .
🎲 Notes
Experimental prototype. Not financial advise and strategy not guaranteed to make money despite backtest results
Not created or tested for any specific instrument or timeframe
Test and adopt with own risk
🎲 Strategy
This is trend following strategy built based on Bands and Zigzag. Traits of trend following strategies are
Lower win rate (Yes, thats right)
High risk reward (Compensates low win rate)
Higher drawdown
If market is choppy, trend following methods suffer.
The script implements few points to overcome the negatives such as lower win rate and higher drawdown by actively assessing pivots on the direction of trend along. This helps us take regular profits and exit on time during the end of trend. Most of the other concepts are defined and explained in indicator - Band-Zigzag-Trend-Follower and Band-Based-Zigzag
Defining a trend following method is simple. Basic rule of trend following is Buy High and Sell Low (Yes, you heard it right). To explain further - methodology involve finding an established trend which is flying high and join the trend with proper risk and optimal stop. Once you get into the trade, you will not exit unless there is change in the trend. Or in other words, the parameters which you used to define trend has reversed and the trend is not valid anymore.
🎯 Using bands
When price breaks out of upper bands (example, Bollinger Band , Keltener Channel, or Donchian Channel), with a pre determined length and multiplier, we can consider the trend to be bullish and similarly when price breaks down the lower band, we can consider the trend to be bearish .
🎯 Using Pivots
Simple logic using zigzag or pivot points is that when price starts making higher highs and higher lows, we can consider this as uptrend. And when price starts making lower highs and lower lows, we can consider this as downtrend. There are few supertrend implementations I have published in the past based on zigzags and pivot points .
Drawbacks of both of these methods is that there will be too many fluctuations in both cases unless we increase the reference length. And if we increase the reference length, we will have higher drawdown.
🎯 Band Based Zigzag Method
Here we use bands to define our pivot high and pivot low - this makes sure that we are identifying trend only on breakouts as pivots are only formed on breakouts
Our method also includes pivot ratio to cross over 1.0 to be able to consider it as trend. This means, we are waiting for price also to make new high high or lower low before making the decision on trend. But, this helps us ignore smaller pivot movements due to the usage of bands.
I have also implemented few tricks such as sticky bands (Bands will not contract unless there is breakout) and Adaptive Bands (Band will not expand unless price is moving in the direction of band). This makes the trend following method very robust.
To avoid fakeouts, we also use percentB of high/low in comparison with price retracement to define breakout.
🎲 Settings
Settings are fairly simpler and are explained as below. You will find most of the required information in tooltips.
Smart Money Concepts (SMC) [LuxAlgo]This all-in-one indicator displays real-time market structure (internal & swing BOS / CHoCH), order blocks, premium & discount zones, equal highs & lows, and much more...allowing traders to automatically mark up their charts with widely used price action methodologies. Following the release of our Fair Value Gap script, we received numerous requests from our community to release more features in the same category.
"Smart Money Concepts" (SMC) is a fairly new yet widely used term amongst price action traders looking to more accurately navigate liquidity & find more optimal points of interest in the market. Trying to determine where institutional market participants have orders placed (buy or sell side liquidity) can be a very reasonable approach to finding more practical entries & exits based on price action.
The indicator includes alerts for the presence of swing structures and many other relevant conditions.
Features
This indicator includes many features relevant to SMC, these are highlighted below:
Full internal & swing market structure labeling in real-time
Break of Structure (BOS)
Change of Character (CHoCH)
Order Blocks (bullish & bearish)
Equal Highs & Lows
Fair Value Gap Detection
Previous Highs & Lows
Premium & Discount Zones as a range
Options to style the indicator to more easily display these concepts
Settings
Mode: Allows the user to select Historical (default) or Present, which displays only recent data on the chart.
Style: Allows the user to select different styling for the entire indicator between Colored (default) and Monochrome.
Color Candles: Plots candles based on the internal & swing structures from within the indicator on the chart.
Internal Structure: Displays the internal structure labels & dashed lines to represent them. (BOS & CHoCH).
Confluence Filter: Filter non-significant internal structure breakouts.
Swing Structure: Displays the swing structure labels & solid lines on the chart (larger BOS & CHoCH labels).
Swing Points: Displays swing points labels on chart such as HH, HL, LH, LL.
Internal Order Blocks: Enables Internal Order Blocks & allows the user to select how many most recent Internal Order Blocks appear on the chart.
Swing Order Blocks: Enables Swing Order Blocks & allows the user to select how many most recent Swing Order Blocks appear on the chart.
Equal Highs & Lows: Displays EQH/EQL labels on chart for detecting equal highs & lows.
Bars Confirmation: Allows the user to select how many bars are needed to confirm an EQH/EQL symbol on chart.
Fair Value Gaps: Displays boxes to highlight imbalance areas on the chart.
Auto Threshold: Filter out non-significant fair value gaps.
Timeframe: Allows the user to select the timeframe for the Fair Value Gap detection.
Extend FVG: Allows the user to choose how many bars to extend the Fair Value Gap boxes on the chart.
Highs & Lows MTF: Allows the user to display previous highs & lows from daily, weekly, & monthly timeframes as significant levels.
Premium/Discount Zones: Allows the user to display Premium, Discount, and Equilibrium zones on the chart
Usage
Users can see automatic CHoCH and BOS labels to highlight breakouts of market structure, which allows to determine the market trend. In the chart below we can see the internal structure which displays more frequent labels within larger structures. We can also see equal highs & lows (EQH/EQL) labels plotted alongside the internal structure to frequently give indications of potential reversals.
In the chart below we can see the swing market structure labels. These are also labeled as BOS and CHoCH but with a solid line & larger text to show larger market structure breakouts & trend reversals. Users can be mindful of these larger structure labels while trading internal structures as displayed in the previous chart.
Order blocks highlight areas where institutional market participants open positions, one can use order blocks to determine confirmation entries or potential targets as we can expect there is a large amount of liquidity at these order blocks. In the chart below we can see 2 potential trade setups with confirmation entries. The path outlined in red would be a potential short entry targeting the blue order block below, and the path outlined in green would be a potential long entry, targeting the red order blocks above.
As we can see in the chart below, the bullish confirmation entry played out in this scenario with the green path outlined in hindsight. As price breaks though the order blocks above, the indicator will consider them mitigated causing them to disappear, and as per the logic of these order blocks they will always display 5 (by default) on the chart so we can now see more actionable levels.
The Smart Money Concepts indicator has many other features and here we can see how they can also help a user find potential levels for price action trading. In the screenshot below we can see a trade setup using the Previous Monthly High, Strong High, and a Swing Order Block as a stop loss. Accompanied by the Premium from the Discount/Premium zones feature being used as a potential entry. A potential take profit level for this trade setup that a user could easily identify would be the 50% mark labeled with the Fair Value Gap & the Equilibrium all displayed automatically by the indicator.
Conclusion
This indicator highlights all relevant components of Smart Money Concepts which can be a very useful interpretation of market structure, liquidity, & more simply put, price action. The term was coined & popularized primarily within the forex community & by ICT while making its way to become a part of many traders' analysis. These concepts, with or without this indicator do not guarantee a trader to be trading within the presence of institutional or "bank-level" liquidity, there is no supporting data regarding the validity of these teachings.
Donchian Screener█ OVERVIEW
This is a screener script for the Donchian Channel indicator . It's an excellent indicator for trend following, a trading strategy which tries to take advantage of long, medium or short-term moves that seem to play out in various markets.
█ DESCRIPTION
The screener works by scanning through up to 10 symbols and list down symbols that are currently breaking through the upper or lower band as definied by the Donchian Channels, at which point the market signals the start of a bullish or bearish trend.
█ HOW TO USE
After adding the indicator, open the script settings and type the symbol name and length to be used on the Donchian Channels for each stock.
█ PARAMETERS
- Use High/Low Price Breakouts: check this box if you want to use price high/low instead of price close to identify breakouts
- Panel Position: choose whether you want to position the panel on the top, middle or bottom right side of the graph (default is top)
- Default Timeframe: what timeframe to use on the screener (default is daily)
- Ticker: the ticker name you want to monitor
- Length: length parameter used on Donchian Channel indicator
█ FEATURES
The screener can scan up to 10 symbols each time.
█ LIMITATIONS
The screener will scan the symbols breaking out bands on the current bar, and as such, there maybe some delays depending on the stock/ etf /crypto you choose. Some exchanges require an additional subscription to get realtime data.
Rate Of Change [SIDD]This Oscillator is helping identify rate of change in Price.
Basic Definition :-
The Rate of Change ( ROC ) is a momentum technical indicator.
It measures the percentage change in price between the current price and the price a certain number of periods ago.
This indicator is plotted against zero, with the indicator moving upwards into positive territory if price changes are to the upside, and moving into negative territory if price changes are to the downside.
Customization of inbuilt ROC:- I have created EMA of ROC with 9 days exponential moving average and Coloring the plot of 9 EMA of ROC Green and RED. Green line indicates that Price change rate is positive in last 9 time period on selected resolution (time frame) and Red line indicated that negative price change rate.
I have identified the zone like +5 and -5 line area in study where some resistance or support is there for 9 EMA ROC line. and if 9 EMA ROC crosses those line then intensity of previous trend get increased.
I have drawn here breakout trendline from lower high candle with hand mark up and same time ROC is above 5 marked with hand up. Similarly I have drawn hand mark down where breakdown trendline is drawn for higher low candle breakdown.
You can see clearly ROC 9 EMA is sync correctly with breakout and breakdown candle when ROC 9 EMA
is above 5 and below 5.
I able to observed that ROC 9 EMA is helping in finding correct breakout and breakdown candles with proper trendline breakout and breakdown.
above all my observation is with daily time frame and 1 Hr time frame candles mostly. If you are changing time frame then see the difference and post same in comment so I can watch those changes as well,
You can modify this study and lets create better than this as well. As I think nothing is perfect in this world always there is scope of improvement.
This study to see how the price are getting changing and what is the rate of change .
This study doesn't give any buy and sell recommendation.
I have other indicator which is given in my signature below that you can check.
