Dkoderweb repainting issue fix indicator# Harmonic Pattern Trading Indicator for TradingView
This indicator, called "Dkoderweb repainting issue fix indicator," is designed to identify and trade harmonic chart patterns in financial markets. It uses Fibonacci relationships between price points to detect various patterns like Bat, Butterfly, Gartley, Crab, Shark, and others.
## Key Features:
- **Pattern Recognition**: Automatically identifies over a dozen harmonic patterns including standard and anti-patterns
- **Customizable Settings**: Options to use Heikin Ashi candles and alternate timeframes
- **Fibonacci Levels**: Configurable display of key Fibonacci retracement levels
- **Entry and Exit Signals**: Clear buy/sell signals with visual triangles above/below bars
- **Trade Management**: Automatic take-profit and stop-loss levels based on Fibonacci relationships
- **Visual Aids**: Color-coded backgrounds to highlight active trade zones
- **Alert System**: Customizable alert messages for trade entries and exits
## How It Works:
The indicator uses a zigzag function to identify significant price pivots, then analyzes the relationships between these pivots to detect specific harmonic patterns. When a valid pattern forms and price reaches the entry zone (defined by a Fibonacci level), the indicator generates a trade signal.
Each pattern has specific Fibonacci ratio requirements between its points, and the indicator continuously scans for these relationships. Trade management is handled automatically with predefined take-profit and stop-loss levels.
This version specifically addresses repainting issues that are common in pattern-detection indicators, making it more reliable for both backtesting and live trading.

Unusual Whale - Unusual Options Volume Data ScreenerHow to Use:
Custom Expiration Date: Use the calendar/date picker to select the expiration date. The chosen date is automatically converted to the "YYMMDD" format.
Custom Base Strike: Enter a round strike value from the options chain (for example, "270"). This value serves as the starting point (at-the-money) for the scan.
Strike Increment: Select the increment (e.g., 0.50, 1.00, 2.5, 5, or 10) to determine how the scan moves outward from the custom base strike.
Options per Side (Max 20): Choose the number of valid option strikes to scan on each side. The script scans downward (for calls) and upward (for puts) from the custom base strike.
Base Symbol: The base symbol is always taken from the chart (using syminfo.ticker); no manual entry is needed.
Scanning & Aggregation: The script automatically constructs option symbols using the base symbol, custom expiration date, option type (C or P), and the formatted strike. It retrieves volume data for these options and aggregates the cumulative volume for calls and puts separately.
Plotting: Cumulative call volume is plotted in green, and cumulative put volume is plotted in red—only if the required number of valid options is found.
Benefits of Scanning Options Volume for Unusual Activity:
Offers a comprehensive view of volume across multiple strikes, making unusual or extreme volume patterns easier to detect.
Helps gauge market sentiment by comparing aggregated call and put volumes, which may signal shifts in investor behavior.
Aggregating volume from several strike levels provides smoother, more reliable data than using a single strike, enhancing your analytical insights.
What to Do If Combinations Don't Yield Results:
Verify Your Inputs: Ensure that the Custom Base Symbol, Expiration Date, and Custom Base Strike are entered correctly and correspond to an active options chain.
Adjust Strike Increment: If the options aren’t loading as expected, try selecting a different strike increment that more closely matches the spacing in your options chain.
Reduce Options per Side: Lower the number of Options per Side (e.g., from 20 to a lower value) if the scan fails to find enough valid strikes.
Review Your Options Chain: Confirm that the contracts for the specified expiration and strike range exist and are available in your data feed.
Check Data Subscription: Make sure your TradingView plan includes access to the options data required for the selected symbols.
Cumulative Call Volume is Green, Put Volume is Red
Probability Grid [LuxAlgo]The Probability Grid tool allows traders to see the probability of where and when the next reversal would occur, it displays a 10x10 grid and/or dashboard with the probability of the next reversal occurring beyond each cell or within each cell.
🔶 USAGE
By default, the tool displays deciles (percentiles from 0 to 90), users can enable, disable and modify each percentile, but two of them must always be enabled or the tool will display an error message alerting of it.
The use of the tool is quite simple, as shown in the chart above, the further the price moves on the grid, the higher the probability of a reversal.
In this case, the reversal took place on the cell with a probability of 9%, which means that there is a probability of 91% within the square defined by the last reversal and this cell.
🔹 Grid vs Dashboard
The tool can display a grid starting from the last reversal and/or a dashboard at three predefined locations, as shown in the chart above.
🔶 DETAILS
🔹 Raw Data vs Normalized Data
By default the tool displays the normalized data, this means that instead of using the raw data (price delta between reversals) it uses the returns between each reversal, this is useful to make an apples to apples comparison of all the data in the dataset.
This can be seen in the left side of the chart above (BTCUSD Daily chart) where normalize data is disabled, the percentiles from 0 to 40 overlap and are indistinguishable from each other because the tool uses the raw price delta over the entire bitcoin history, with normalize data enabled as we can see in the right side of the chart we can have a fair comparison of the data over the entire history.
🔹 Probability Beyond or Within Each Cell
Two different probability modes are available, the default mode is Probability Beyond Each Cell, the number displayed in each cell is the probability of the next reversal to be located in the area beyond the cell, for example, if the cell displays 20%, it means that in the area formed by the square starting from the last reversal and ending at the cell, there is an 80% probability and outside that square there is a 20% probability for the location of the next reversal.
The second probability mode is the probability within each cell, this outlines the chance that the next reversal will be within the cell, as we can see on the right chart above, when using deciles as percentiles (default settings), each cell has the same 1% probability for the 10x10 grid.
🔶 SETTINGS
Swing Length: The maximum length in bars used to identify a swing
Maximum Reversals: Maximum number of reversals included in calculations
Normalize Data: Use returns between swings instead of raw price
Probability: Choose between two different probability modes: beyond and inside each cell
Percentiles: Enable/disable each of the ten percentiles and select the percentile number and line style

Failed Breakout DetectionThis indicator is a reverse-engineered copy of the FBD Detection indicator published by xfuturesgod. The original indicator aimed at detecting "Failed Breakdowns". This version tracks the opposite signals, "Failed Breakouts". It was coded with the ES Futures 15 minute chart in mind but may be useful on other instruments and time frames.
The original description, with terminology reversed to explain this version:
'Failed Breakouts' are a popular set up for short entries.
In short, the set up requires:
1) A significant high is made ('initial high')
2) Initial high is undercut with a new high
3) Price action then 'reclaims' the initial high by moving +8-10 points from the initial high
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 highs to detect 'significant' initial highs
2) Uses amplitude threshold to detect a new high above the initial high; used /u/ben_zen script for this
3) Looks for a valid reclaim - a red candle that occurs within 10 bars of the new high
4) Price must reclaim at least 8 points for the set up to be valid
5) If a signal is detected, the initial high value (pivot high) is stored in array that prevents duplicate signals from being generated.
6) FBO Signal is plotted on the chart with "X"
7) Pivot high detection is plotted on the chart with "P" and a label
8) New highs are plotted on the chart with a red 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 highs
- New high 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 high, and the # of bars limit over which this must occur.
Alerts:
- Alerts are available for detection of new highs and detection of failed breakouts
- 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 highs to the most recent pivot high, does not look at anything prior to that
- Best used as a discretionary signal
Market Phases (ZigZag + MA + RSI)This script is a TradingView Pine Script that visualizes market phases using the ZigZag pattern, Moving Averages (MA), and the Relative Strength Index (RSI). It allows traders to identify key market conditions, such as accumulating, distributing, bullish, and bearish phases based on price movements and momentum indicators.
#### Components
1. ZigZag Settings:
- Depth: Controls the sensitivity of the ZigZag indicator. A higher value results in fewer price points being considered as reversals.
- Deviation: Defines the minimum percentage change needed to identify a ZigZag point, preventing small fluctuations from being registered.
- Backstep: Specifies the number of bars to look back for identifying highs and lows.
2. Moving Average Settings:
- MA Length: The number of periods used to calculate the moving average.
- MA Type: The type of moving average to use, either Simple Moving Average (SMA) or Exponential Moving Average (EMA).
3. RSI Settings:
- RSI Length: The period for calculating the RSI.
- Overbought Level: The threshold above which the asset is considered overbought.
- Oversold Level: The threshold below which the asset is considered oversold.
4. Calculations:
- Moving Average and RSI Calculation: The script calculates either an SMA or EMA and the RSI based on user-defined settings.
5. ZigZag Enhanced Calculation:
- It identifies swing highs and lows to determine the ZigZag points for improved trend analysis.
6. Trend Direction:
- The script checks the direction of the trend based on the latest ZigZag points.
7. Market Phase Determination:
- The script defines the market phase (Accumulation, Distribution, Bullish, Bearish) based on the trend direction and levels from the RSI and relationship with the moving average.
8. Background Colors:
- The background is tinted according to the identified market phase for visual clarity.
9. Labels and Plotting:
- Labels are generated at the last bar with the current phase and RSI value.
- The moving average and last ZigZag points are plotted on the chart for further reference.
### Conclusion
This script provides a comprehensive view of market conditions by integrating multiple indicators, helping traders make informed trading decisions based on market dynamics. The ability to visualize phases and key indicators aids in recognizing potential entry and exit points in trading strategies.

ICT Order Blocks v2 (Debug)Josh has a very large PP xD
Understanding Order Blocks (OBs) - The ICT Perspective
This document delves into the concept of Order Blocks (OBs) from the perspective of the ICT methodology. It outlines what OBs are, their significance in trading, and how the "ICT Order Blocks v2 (Refined)" indicator functions to identify and visualize these critical price levels. By understanding OBs, traders can better navigate market movements and make informed decisions based on institutional trading behavior.
What is an Order Block (OB)?
Within ICT methodology, an Order Block represents a specific price candle where significant buying or selling interest from institutions (Smart Money) is believed to have occurred. They are potential areas where price might return and react.
Bullish Order Block: Typically the last down-closing candle before a strong, impulsive upward move (displacement). It suggests institutions may have absorbed selling pressure and initiated long positions here.
Bearish Order Block: Typically the last up-closing candle before a strong, impulsive downward move (displacement). It suggests institutions may have distributed long positions or initiated short positions here.
Why are OBs Significant (ICT View)?
Institutional Footprint: They mark potential zones of large order execution.
Support/Resistance: Unmitigated OBs can act as sensitive price levels where reactions are expected. Bullish OBs may provide support; Bearish OBs may provide resistance.
Origin of Moves: They often mark the origin point of significant price swings.
Liquidity Engineering: Institutions might drive price back to OBs to mitigate earlier positions or to engineer liquidity before continuing a move.
Common Refinements
ICT often emphasizes higher probability OBs that are associated with:
Displacement: The move away from the OB is sharp and decisive.
Fair Value Gaps (FVGs): An FVG forming immediately after the OB strengthens its validity.
OB Mitigation: This refers to price returning to the level of the Order Block after its formation. Price might react at the edge (proximal line) or the 50% level (mean threshold) of the OB. An OB is often considered fully mitigated or invalidated if price trades decisively through its entire range, especially with a candle body closing beyond it.
How the "ICT Order Blocks v2 (Refined)" Indicator Works
This indicator automates the detection and visualization of the most recent unmitigated Order Block of each type (Bullish/Bearish), incorporating optional filters.
Detection:
It looks at the relationship between the candle two bars ago ( ), the previous candle ( ), and potentially the current candle ( ).
Bullish OB: Identifies if candle was a down-close (close < open ) AND candle broke above the high of candle (high > high ).
Bearish OB: Identifies if candle was an up-close (close > open ) AND candle broke below the low of candle (low < low ).
Accuracy Filters (Optional Inputs):
These filters help identify potentially higher-probability OBs:
Require Fair Value Gap (FVG)?: If enabled, the indicator checks if an FVG formed immediately after the OB candle ( ). Specifically, it looks for a gap between candle and candle (low > high for Bullish OB confirmation, high < low for Bearish).
Require Strong Close Breakout?: If enabled, it requires the breakout candle ( ) to close beyond the range of the OB candle ( ). (close > high for Bullish, close < low for Bearish). This suggests stronger confirmation.
Storing the Most Recent OB:
When an OB is detected and passes any enabled filters, its details (high, low, formation bar index) are stored. Crucially, this indicator only tracks the single most recent valid unmitigated OB of each type (one Bullish, one Bearish) using var variables. If a newer valid OB forms, it replaces the previously stored one.
Drawing Boxes:
If a valid Bullish OB is being tracked (and Show Bullish OBs is enabled), it draws a box (box.new) using the high and low of the identified OB candle ( ). The same process applies to Bearish OBs (Show Bearish OBs enabled). The boxes automatically extend to the right (extend.right) and their right edge is updated on each new bar (box.set_right) until they are mitigated. Labels ("Bull OB" / "Bear OB") are displayed inside the boxes.
Mitigation & Box Deletion:
The indicator checks if the current closing price (close ) has moved entirely beyond the range of the tracked OB.
Mitigation Rule Used: A Bullish OB is considered mitigated if close < bull_ob_low. A Bearish OB is considered mitigated if close > bear_ob_high. Once an OB is marked as mitigated, the indicator stops tracking it and its corresponding box is automatically deleted (box.delete) from the chart.
This indicator provides a dynamic visualization of the most recent, potentially significant Order Blocks that meet the specified criteria, helping traders identify key areas of interest based on ICT principles.

Engulfing Candle Pattern (Strict)Indicator Name :
Engulfing Candle Pattern (Strict)
Purpose :
The Engulfing Candle Pattern Indicator is designed to identify and visually mark bullish and bearish engulfing patterns on a price chart. These patterns are powerful reversal signals in technical analysis, often used by traders to spot potential trend changes. The indicator ensures strict adherence to the definition of engulfing patterns, making it reliable for identifying high-probability setups.
What It Does :
Identifies Engulfing Patterns :
The indicator scans the price data for candles that meet the criteria of either a bullish engulfing or bearish engulfing pattern .
A bullish engulfing occurs when a green (bullish) candle fully engulfs the body and wicks of the previous red (bearish) candle and closes above its high.
A bearish engulfing occurs when a red (bearish) candle fully engulfs the body and wicks of the previous green (bullish) candle and closes below its low.
Marks Patterns Visually :
Bullish engulfing patterns are marked with a green upward triangle below the candle.
Bearish engulfing patterns are marked with a red downward triangle above the candle.
Optional labels ("Bullish" or "Bearish") provide additional context.
Highlights Candles :
Engulfing candles are highlighted with semi-transparent colors:
Green for bullish engulfing.
Red for bearish engulfing.
Ensures Strict Conditions :
The current candle must fully cover the entire body and wicks of the previous candle.
The current candle must close above the previous candle's high (for bullish) or below the previous candle's low (for bearish).
Elliott Wave Identification By Akash Patel
This script is designed to visually highlight areas on the chart where there are consecutive bullish (green) or bearish (red) candles. It also identifies sequences of three consecutive candles of the same type (bullish or bearish) and highlights those areas with adjustable box opacity. Here's a breakdown of the functionality:
---
### Key Features:
1. **Bullish & Bearish Candle Identification:**
- **Bullish Candle:** When the closing price is higher than the opening price (`close > open`).
- **Bearish Candle:** When the closing price is lower than the opening price (`close < open`).
2. **Consecutive Candle Counter:**
- The script counts consecutive bullish and bearish candles, which resets when the direction changes (from bullish to bearish or vice versa).
- The script tracks these counts using the `bullishCount` and `bearishCount` variables, which are incremented based on whether the current candle is bullish or bearish.
3. **Highlighting Candle Areas:**
- If there are **3 or more consecutive bullish candles**, the script will highlight the background in a green color with 90% transparency (adjustable).
- Similarly, if there are **3 or more consecutive bearish candles**, the script will highlight the background in a red color with 90% transparency (adjustable).
4. **Three-Candle Sequence:**
- The script checks if there are three consecutive bullish candles (`threeBullish`) or three consecutive bearish candles (`threeBearish`).
- A box is drawn around these areas to visually highlight the sequence. The boxes extend to the right edge of the chart, and their opacity can be adjusted.
5. **Box Creation:**
- For bullish sequences, a green box is created using the high and low prices of the three candles in the sequence.
- For bearish sequences, a red box is created in the same manner.
- The box size is determined by the highest high and the lowest low of the three consecutive candles.
6. **Box Opacity:**
- You can adjust the opacity of the boxes through the input parameters `Bullish Box Opacity` and `Bearish Box Opacity` (ranging from 0 to 100).
- A higher opacity will make the boxes more solid, while a lower opacity will make them more transparent.
7. **Box Cleanup:**
- The script also includes logic to remove boxes when they are no longer needed, ensuring the chart remains clean without excessive box overlays.
8. **Extending Boxes to the Right:**
- When a bullish or bearish sequence is identified, the boxes are extended to the right edge of the chart for continued visibility.
---
### How It Works:
- **Bullish Area Highlight:** When three or more consecutive bullish candles are detected, the background will turn green to indicate a strong bullish trend.
- **Bearish Area Highlight:** When three or more consecutive bearish candles are detected, the background will turn red to indicate a strong bearish trend.
- **Three Consecutive Candle Box:** A green box will appear around three consecutive bullish candles, and a red box will appear around three consecutive bearish candles. These boxes can be extended to the right edge of the chart, making the sequence visually clear.
---
### Adjustable Parameters:
1. **Bullish Box Opacity:** Set the opacity (transparency) level of the bullish boxes. Ranges from 0 (completely transparent) to 100 (completely opaque).
2. **Bearish Box Opacity:** Set the opacity (transparency) level of the bearish boxes. Ranges from 0 (completely transparent) to 100 (completely opaque).
---
This indicator is useful for identifying strong trends and visually confirming market momentum, especially in situations where you want to spot sequences of bullish or bearish candles over multiple bars. It can be customized to suit different trading styles and chart preferences by adjusting the opacity of the boxes and background highlights.
Custom Opening Range FillThis TradingView indicator visualizes a customizable opening range. Users define the start hour, minute (UTC), and range duration. It calculates the high and low prices within this period and fills the area between them on the chart. The range resets daily. This highlights a specific trading window, aiding in identifying potential breakout or breakdown levels. Traders can adjust the time parameters to analyze various market sessions or strategies. It's useful for those focusing on price action within a defined timeframe, simplifying the observation of key price levels.

Golden Death Cross IndicatorThis indicator uses moving average to detect both a Golden Cross and Death Cross on any timeframe but is recommended for use on the daily and 24 hour timeframes only.
We have also provided instructions on how to create alerts for these indicators below.
Happy Trading!
Moving Averages: We’ll use Simple Moving Averages (SMA). The 50-day SMA looks at the average price over the last 50 periods, and the 200-day SMA does the same for 200 periods.
Crossovers: We’ll check when the 50-day SMA crosses above (Golden Cross) or below the 200-day SMA (Death Cross).
Set Up Alerts
Now, let’s make sure you get notified when a cross happens:
Open the Alerts Menu
On the chart, click the bell icon (top right of the screen) to create an alert.
Configure the Golden Cross Alert
In the “Condition” dropdown, select “Cross Alerts” (the name of your script).
Below that, select “Golden Cross.”
Set “Once Per Bar Close” in the next dropdown (this ensures it only triggers after the period ends, avoiding false signals mid-bar).
Choose how you want to be notified (e.g., popup, email, or phone app—set this under “Notifications”).
Name the alert (e.g., “Golden Cross Alert”) and click “Create.”
Configure the Death Cross Alert
Click the bell icon again to create a second alert.
Condition: “Cross Alerts” > “Death Cross.”
Set “Once Per Bar Close” again.
Choose your notification method.
Name it (e.g., “Death Cross Alert”) and click “Create.”

A higher timeframe EMA acts as a trend filter to align trades with the larger market trend.
Momentum Confirmation:
RSI (Relative Strength Index) confirms the momentum strength.
Only takes trades when the momentum aligns with the trend.
Volume Confirmation:
Uses On-Balance Volume (OBV) to verify if volume supports the trend direction.
Signal Calculation:
Combines trend, momentum, and volume signals to create a high-probability trade setup.
Filters out weak signals to avoid false trades.
Entry, Stop Loss & Take Profit:
Displays clear LONG and SHORT markers on the chart.
Automatically calculates and displays Stop Loss and Take Profit levels based on ATR (Average True Range).
Alerts:
Sends real-time alerts when a valid buy or sell signal occurs.
Alerts include entry price, stop loss, and take profit levels.
V Pattern TrendDESCRIPTION:
The V Pattern Trend Indicator is designed to identify and highlight V-shaped reversal patterns in price action. It detects both bullish and bearish V formations using a five-candle structure, helping traders recognize potential trend reversal points. The indicator filters out insignificant patterns by using customizable settings based on ATR, percentage, or points, ensuring that only meaningful V patterns are displayed.
CALCULATION METHOD
The user can choose how the minimum length of a V pattern is determined. The available options are:
- ATR (Average True Range) – Filters V patterns based on ATR, making the detection adaptive to market volatility.
- Percentage (%) – Considers V patterns where the absolute price difference between the V low and V high is greater than a user-defined percentage of the V high.
- Points – Uses a fixed number of points to filter valid V patterns, making it useful for assets with consistent price ranges.
ATR SETTINGS
- ATR Length – Defines the number of periods for ATR calculation.
- ATR Multiplier – Determines the minimum V length as a multiple of ATR.
PERCENTAGE THRESHOLD
- Sets a minimum percentage difference between the V high and V low for a pattern to be considered valid.
POINTS THRESHOLD
- Defines the minimum price movement (in points) required for a V pattern to be considered significant.
PATTERN VISUALIZATION
- A bullish V pattern is plotted using two upward-sloping lines, with a filled green region to highlight the formation.
- A bearish V pattern is plotted using two downward-sloping lines, with a filled red region to indicate the reversal.
- The indicator dynamically updates and marks only the most recent valid patterns.
UNDERSTANDING V PATTERNS
A V pattern is a sharp reversal formation where price moves strongly in one direction and then rapidly reverses in the opposite direction, forming a "V" shape on the chart.
BULLISH V PATTERN
- A bullish V pattern is formed when the price makes three consecutive lower lows, followed by two consecutive higher lows.
- The pattern is confirmed when the highest high of the formation is greater than the previous highs within the structure.
- This pattern suggests a potential trend reversal from bearish to bullish.
- The lowest point of the pattern represents the V low, which acts as a support level.
bull_five_candle_v = low > low and low > low and low > low and low > low
and high > math.max(high , high , high ) and high > math.max(high , high , high )
BEARISH V PATTERN
- A bearish V pattern is detected when the price makes three consecutive higher highs, followed by two consecutive lower highs.
- The pattern is confirmed when the lowest low of the formation is lower than the previous lows within the structure.
- This pattern signals a possible trend reversal from bullish to bearish.
- The highest point of the pattern represents the V high, which acts as a resistance level.
bear_five_candle_v = high < high and high < high and high < high and high < high
and low < math.min(low , low , low ) and low < math.min(low , low , low )
HOW THIS IS UNIQUE
- Advanced Filtering Mechanism – Unlike basic reversal indicators, this tool provides customizable filtering based on ATR, percentage, or points, ensuring that only significant V patterns are displayed.
- Enhanced Visual Clarity – The indicator uses color-coded fills and structured plotting to make reversal patterns easy to recognize.
- Works Across Market Conditions – Adaptable to different market environments, filtering out weak or insignificant price fluctuations.
- Multi-Timeframe Usability – Can be applied across different timeframes and asset classes, making it useful for both intraday and swing trading.
HOW TRADERS CAN USE THIS INDICATOR
- Identify potential trend reversals early based on structured price action.
- Filter out weak or insignificant reversals to focus only on strong V formations.
- Use the V pattern’s highs and lows as key support and resistance zones for trade entries and exits.
- Combine with other indicators like moving averages, trendlines, or momentum oscillators for confirmation.

DTFX Algo Zones [SamuraiJack Mod]CME_MINI:NQ1!
Credits
This indicator is a modified version of an open-source tool originally developed by Lux Algo. I literally modded their indicator to create the DTFX Algo Zones version, incorporating additional features and refinements. Special thanks to Lux Algo for their original work and for providing the open-source code that made this development possible.
Introduction
DTFX Algo Zones is a technical analysis indicator designed to automatically identify key supply and demand zones on your chart using market structure and Fibonacci retracements. It helps traders spot high-probability reversal areas and important support/resistance levels at a glance. By detecting shifts in market structure (such as Break of Structure and Change of Character) and highlighting bullish or bearish zones dynamically, this tool provides an intuitive framework for planning trades. The goal is to save traders time and improve decision-making by focusing attention on the most critical price zones where market bias may confirm or reverse.
Logic & Features
• Market Structure Shift Detection (BOS & CHoCH): The indicator continuously monitors price swings and marks significant structure shifts. A Break of Structure (BOS) occurs when price breaks above a previous swing high or below a swing low, indicating a continuation of the current trend. A Change of Character (ChoCH) is detected when price breaks in the opposite direction of the prior trend, often signaling an early trend reversal. These moments are visually marked on the chart, serving as anchor points for new zones. By identifying BOS and ChoCH in real-time, the DTFX Algo Zones indicator ensures you’re aware of key trend changes as they happen.
• Auto-Drawn Fibonacci Supply/Demand Zones: Upon a valid structure shift, the indicator plots a Fibonacci-based zone between the breakout point and the preceding swing high/low (the source of the move). This creates a shaded area or band of Fibonacci retracement levels (for example 38.2%, 50%, 61.8%, etc.) representing a potential support zone in an uptrend or resistance zone in a downtrend. These supply/demand zones are derived from the natural retracement of the breakout move, highlighting where price is likely to pull back. Each zone is essentially an auto-generated Fibonacci retracement region tied to a market structure event, which traders can use to anticipate where the next pullback or bounce might occur.
• Dynamic Bullish and Bearish Zones: The DTFX Algo Zones indicator distinguishes bullish vs. bearish zones and updates them dynamically as new price action unfolds. Bullish zones (formed after bullish BOS/ChoCH) are typically highlighted in one color (e.g. green or blue) to indicate areas of demand/support where price may bounce upward. Bearish zones (formed after bearish BOS/ChoCH) are shown in another color (e.g. red/orange) to mark supply/resistance where price may stall or reverse downward. This color-coding and real-time updating allow traders to instantly recognize the market bias: for instance, a series of bullish zones implies an uptrend with multiple support levels on pullbacks, while consecutive bearish zones indicate a downtrend with resistance overhead. As old zones get invalidated or new ones appear, the chart remains current with the latest key levels, eliminating clutter from outdated levels.
• Flexible Customization: The indicator comes with several options to tailor the zones to your trading style. You can filter which zones to display – for example, show only the most recent N zones or limit to only bullish or only bearish zones – helping declutter the chart and focus on recent, relevant levels. There are settings to control zone extension (how far into the future the zones are drawn) and to automatically invalidate zones once they’re no longer relevant (for instance, if price fully breaks through a zone or a new structure shift occurs that supersedes it). Additionally, the Fibonacci retracement levels within each zone are customizable: you can choose which retracement percentages to plot, adjust their colors or line styles, and decide whether to fill the zone area for visibility. This flexibility ensures the DTFX Algo Zones can be tuned for different markets and strategies, whether you want a clean minimalist look or detailed zones with multiple internal levels.
Best Use Cases
DTFX Algo Zones is a versatile indicator that can enhance various trading strategies. Some of its best use cases include:
• Identifying High-Probability Reversal Zones: Each zone marks an area where price has a higher likelihood of stalling or reversing because it reflects a significant prior swing and Fibonacci retracement. Traders can watch these zones for entry opportunities when the market approaches them, as they often coincide with order block or strong supply/demand areas. This is especially useful for catching trend reversals or pullbacks at points where risk is lower and potential reward is higher.
• Spotting Key Support and Resistance: The automatically drawn zones act as dynamic support (below price) and resistance (above price) levels. Instead of manually drawing Fibonacci retracements or support/resistance lines, you get an instant map of the key levels derived from recent price action. This helps in quickly identifying where the next bounce (support) or rejection (resistance) might occur. Swing traders and intraday traders alike can use these zones to set alerts or anticipate reaction areas as the market moves.
• Trend-Following Entries: In a trending market, the indicator’s zones provide ideal areas to join the trend on pullbacks. For example, in an uptrend, when a new bullish zone is drawn after a BOS, it indicates a fresh demand zone – buying near the lower end of that zone on a pullback can offer a low-risk entry to ride the next leg up. Similarly, in a downtrend, selling rallies into the highlighted supply zones can position you in the direction of the prevailing trend. The zones effectively serve as a roadmap of the trend’s structure, allowing trend traders to buy dips and sell rallies with greater confidence.
• Mean-Reversion and Range Trading: Even in choppy or range-bound markets, DTFX Algo Zones can help find mean-reversion trades. If price is oscillating sideways, the zones at extremes of the range might mark where momentum is shifting (ChoCH) and price could swing back toward the mean. A trader might fade an extended move when it reaches a strong zone, anticipating a reversion. Additionally, if multiple zones cluster in an area across time (creating a zone overlap), it often signifies a particularly robust support/resistance level ideal for range trading strategies.
In all these use cases, the indicator’s ability to filter out noise and highlight structurally important levels means traders can focus on higher-probability setups and make more informed trading decisions.
Strategy – Pullback Trading with DTFX Algo Zones
One of the most effective ways to use the DTFX Algo Zones indicator is trading pullbacks in the direction of the trend. Below is a step-by-step strategy to capitalize on pullbacks using the zones, combining the indicator’s signals with sound price action analysis and risk management:
1. Identify a Market Structure Shift and Trend Bias: First, observe the chart for a recent BOS or ChoCH signal from the indicator. This will tell you the current trend bias. For instance, a bullish BOS/ChoCH means the market momentum has shifted upward (bullish bias), and a new demand zone will be drawn. A bearish structure break indicates downward momentum and creates a supply zone. Make sure the broader context supports the bias (e.g., if multiple higher timeframe zones are bullish, focus on long trades).
2. Wait for the Pullback into the Zone: Once a new zone appears, don’t chase the price immediately. Instead, wait for price to retrace back into that highlighted zone. Patience is key – let the market come to you. For a bullish setup, allow price to dip into the Fibonacci retracement zone (demand area); for a bearish setup, watch for a rally into the supply zone. Often, the middle of the zone (around the 50% retracement level) can be an optimal area where price might slow down and pivot, but it’s wise to observe price behavior across the entire zone.
3. Confirm the Entry with Price Action & Confluence: As price tests the zone, look for confirmation signals before entering the trade. This can include bullish reversal candlestick patterns (for longs) or bearish patterns (for shorts) such as engulfing candles, hammers/shooting stars, or doji indicating indecision turning to reversal. Additionally, incorporate confluence factors to strengthen the setup: for example, check if the zone overlaps with a key moving average, a round number price level, or an old support/resistance line from a higher timeframe. You might also use an oscillator (like RSI or Stochastic) to see if the pullback has reached oversold conditions in a bullish zone (or overbought in a bearish zone), suggesting a bounce is likely. The more factors aligning at the zone, the more confidence you can have in the trade. Only proceed with an entry once you see clear evidence of buyers defending a demand zone or sellers defending a supply zone.
4. Enter the Trade and Manage Risk: When you’re satisfied with the confirmation (e.g., price starts to react positively off a demand zone or shows rejection wicks in a supply zone), execute your entry in the direction of the original trend. Immediately set a stop-loss order to control risk: for a long trade, a common placement is just below the demand zone (a few ticks/pips under the swing low that formed the zone); for a short trade, place the stop just above the supply zone’s high. This way, if the zone fails and price continues beyond it, your loss is limited. Position size the trade so that this stop-loss distance corresponds to a risk you are comfortable with (for example, 1-2% of your trading capital).
5. Take Profit Strategically: Plan your take-profit targets in advance. A conservative approach is to target the origin of the move – for instance, in a long trade, you might take profit as price moves back up to the swing high (the 0% Fibonacci level of the zone) or the next significant zone or resistance level above. This often yields at least a 1:1 reward-to-risk ratio if you entered around mid-zone. More aggressive trend-following traders may leave a portion of the position running beyond the initial target, aiming for a larger move in line with the trend (for example, new higher highs in an uptrend). You can also trail your stop-loss upward behind new higher lows (for longs) or lower highs (for shorts) as the trend progresses, locking in profit while allowing for further gains.
6. Monitor Zone Invalidation: Even after entering, keep an eye on the behavior around the zone and any new zones that may form. If price fails to bounce and instead breaks decisively through the entire zone, respect that as an invalidation – the market may be signaling a deeper reversal or that the signal was false. In such a case, it’s better to exit early or stick to your stop-loss than to hold onto a losing position. The indicator will often mark or no longer highlight zones that have been invalidated by price, guiding you to shift focus to the next opportunity.
Risk Management Tips:
• Always use a stop-loss and don’t move it farther out in hope. Placing the stop just beyond the zone’s far end (the swing point) helps protect you if the pullback turns into a larger reversal.
• Aim for a favorable risk-to-reward ratio. With pullback entries near the middle or far end of a zone, you can often achieve a reward that equals or exceeds your risk. For example, risking 20 pips to make 20+ pips (1:1 or better) is a prudent starting point. Adjust targets based on market structure – if the next resistance is 50 pips away, consider that upside against your risk.
• Use confluence and context: Don’t take every zone signal in isolation. The highest probability trades come when the DTFX Algo Zone aligns with other analysis (trend direction, chart patterns, higher timeframe support/resistance, etc.). This filtered approach will reduce trades taken in weak zones or counter-trend traps.
• Embrace patience and selectivity: Not all zones are equal. It can be wise to skip very narrow or insignificant zones and wait for those that form after a strong BOS/ChoCH (indicating a powerful move). Larger zones or zones formed during high-volume times tend to produce more reliable pullback opportunities.
• Review and adapt: After each trade, note how price behaved around the zone. If you notice certain Fib levels (like 50% or 61.8%) within the zone consistently provide the best entries, you can refine your approach to focus on those. Similarly, adjust the indicator’s settings if needed – for example, if too many minor zones are cluttering your screen, limit to the last few or increase the structure length parameter to capture only more significant swings.
⸻
By combining the DTFX Algo Zones indicator with disciplined confirmation and risk management, traders can improve their timing on pullback entries and avoid chasing moves. This indicator shines in helping you trade what you see, not what you feel – the clearly marked zones and structure shifts keep you grounded in price action reality. Whether you’re a trend trader looking to buy the dip/sell the rally, or a reversal trader hunting for exhaustion points, DTFX Algo Zones provides a robust visual aid to elevate your trading decisions. Use it as a complementary tool in your analysis to stay on the right side of the market’s structure and enhance your trading performance.
