Support ResistanceThis indicator was written in pine script code, inspired by the L3 Banker Fund Flow Trend Oscillator indicator whose link I gave below.
This indicator is designed to track the flow of banker funds in the market by analyzing price movements and generating entry signals based on specific criteria. It uses a combination of custom functions and moving averages to identify potential points where bankers might be entering the market.
Key Features:
Fund Flow Trend Calculation:
The indicator calculates the fund flow trend using a combination of weighted moving averages. This helps in identifying the overall trend and potential reversals.
Bull Bear Line:
A key component of the indicator is the Bull Bear Line, which is derived from the typical price, lowest low, and highest high over a specified period. This line helps in determining the strength and direction of the market trend.
Banker Entry Signal:
The indicator generates a banker entry signal when the fund flow trend crosses above the Bull Bear Line, and the Bull Bear Line is below 25. This condition is indicative of a potential entry point for bankers.
Visual Representation:
Entry prices and indices for the last five banker entry signals are stored and used to draw dashed lines on the chart, representing these significant levels.
A dynamic rectangle is drawn between the last two entry prices, which extends to the right until the specified conditions are met. The rectangle's color changes from red to green if the price crosses above it by at least one bar, indicating a potential support zone.
Usage:
Trend Identification:
Use the fund flow trend and Bull Bear Line to identify the prevailing market trend and potential reversal points.
Entry Signals:
Pay attention to the banker entry signals as potential points of entry based on institutional fund flow.
Support and Resistance:
The dynamic rectangle can act as a support zone. Monitor price action relative to this rectangle for potential trading opportunities.
This indicator is a powerful tool for traders looking to align their trades with the movements of large institutional players. By understanding and tracking the flow of banker funds, traders can gain valuable insights into market dynamics and make more informed trading decisions.

Partial Profit Calculator [TFO]This indicator was built to help calculate the outcome of trades that utilize multiple profit targets and/or multiple entries.
In its simplest form, we can have a single entry and a single profit target. As shown below in this long trade example, the indicator will draw risk and reward boxes (red and green, respectively) with several annotations. On the left-hand side, all entries will be displayed (in this case there is only one entry, "E1"). On the bottom, the "SL" label indicates the trade's stop loss placement. On the top, all target prices are displayed (in this case there is only one target, "TP1"). Lastly, on the right-hand side a label will display the total R that is to be expected from a winning trade, where R is one's unit of risk.
In the following example, we have two target prices - one at 18600 and one at 18700. You can input as many target prices as you'd like, separated by commas, i.e. "18600,18700" in this example. Make sure the values are separated by commas only, and not spaces, new lines, etc. As a result, we can see that the indicator draws where our profit targets would be with respect to our entry, E1. The indicator assumes that equal parts of the trade position are taken off at each target price. In this example on Nasdaq futures (NQ1!), since we have 2 target prices, this would be equivalent to assuming that we take exactly half the trade position off at TP1, and the remaining half of the position at TP2.
If we wanted to take more of the position off at a certain target, we could simply duplicate the target price. Here I set the target prices to "18600,18600,18700" to enforce that two thirds of the position be taken off at TP1 and TP2, while the remaining third gets taken off at TP3.
We can also show outcome annotations to describe how much R is generated from each possible trade outcome. Using the below chart as an example, the stop loss indicates a -1R loss. The total R from this trade criteria is 1.33 R, and each target price shows how much R is being generated if one were to take off an equal part of the position at said target prices. In this case, we would generate 0.17 R from taking one third of the position off at TP1, another 0.5 R from taking one third of the position off at TP2, and another 0.67 R from taking the remaining one third of the position off at TP3, all adding up to the total R indicated on the right-hand side label.
Using multiple entries works the same way as using multiple target prices, where the input should indicate each entry price separated by commas. In this example I've used "18550,18450" to achieve an average price of 18500, as indicated by the "E_avg" label that appears when more than one entry price is utilized. We can also opt to display risk as dollars instead of R values, where you can input your desired risk per trade, and all values are shown as dollar amounts instead of R multiples, as shown below with a risk per trade of $100.
This is meant to be an educational tool for trades that utilize multiple profit targets and/or entries. Hope you like it!

Curved Smart Money Concepts Probability (Zeiierman)█ Overview
The Curved Smart Money Concepts Probability indicator, developed by Zeiierman, is a sophisticated trading tool designed to leverage the principles of Smart Money trading. This indicator identifies key market structure points and adapts to changing market conditions, providing traders with actionable insights into market trends and potential reversals. The trading tool stands out due to its unique curved structure and advanced probability features, which enhance its effectiveness and usability for traders.
█ How It Works
The indicator operates by analyzing market data to identify pivotal moments where institutional investors might be influencing price movements. It employs a combination of adaptive trend lengths, multipliers for sensitivity adjustments, and pivot periods to accurately capture market structure shifts. The indicator calculates upper and lower bands based on adaptive sizes and identifies zones of overbought (premium) and oversold (discount) conditions.
Key Features of Probability Calculations
The Curved Smart Money Concepts Probability indicator integrates sophisticated probability calculations to enhance trading decision-making:
Win/Loss Tracking: The indicator tracks the number of successful (win) and unsuccessful (loss) trades based on the identified market structure points (ChoCH, SMS, BMS). This provides a historical context of the indicator's performance.
Probability Percentages: For each market structure point (ChoCH, SMS, BMS), the indicator calculates the probability of the next move being successful or not. This is presented as a percentage, giving traders a quantifiable measure of confidence in the signals.
Dynamic Adaptation: The probability calculations adapt to market conditions by considering the frequency and success rate of the signals, allowing traders to adjust their strategies based on the indicator’s historical accuracy.
Visual Representation: Probabilities are displayed on the chart, helping traders quickly assess the likelihood of future price movements based on past performance.
Key benefits of the Curved Structure
The Curved Smart Money Concepts Probability indicator features a unique curved structure that offers several advantages over traditional linear structures:
Noise Reduction: The curved structure smooths out short-term market fluctuations, reducing the noise often seen in linear structures. This helps traders focus on the true trend direction rather than getting distracted by minor price movements.
Adaptive Sensitivity: The curved structure adjusts its sensitivity based on market conditions. This means it can effectively capture both short-term and long-term trends by dynamically adapting to changes in market volatility, something linear structures struggle with.
Enhanced Trend Detection: By providing a more gradual transition between market phases, the curved structure helps in identifying trends more accurately. This is particularly useful in volatile markets where linear structures might give false signals due to their rigid nature.
Improved Market Structure Analysis: The curved structure's ability to adapt and smooth out irregularities provides a clearer picture of the overall market structure. This clarity is essential for identifying premium and discount zones, as well as mid-range support and resistance levels, which are crucial for effective ICT Smart Money Trading.
█ Terminology
ChoCH (Change of Character): Indicates a potential reversal in market direction. It is identified when the price breaks a significant high or low, suggesting a shift from a bullish to bearish trend or vice versa.
SMS (Smart Money Shift): Represents the transition phase in market structure where smart money begins accumulating or distributing assets. It typically follows a BMS and indicates the start of a new trend.
BMS (Bullish/Bearish Market Structure): Confirms the trend direction. Bullish Market Structure (BMS) confirms an uptrend, while Bearish Market Structure (BMS) confirms a downtrend. It is characterized by a series of higher highs and higher lows (bullish) or lower highs and lower lows (bearish).
Premium: A zone where the price is considered overbought. It is calculated as the upper range of the current market structure and indicates a potential area for selling or shorting.
Mid Range: The midpoint between the high and low of the market structure. It often acts as a support or resistance level, helping traders identify potential reversal or continuation points.
Discount: A zone where the price is considered oversold. It is calculated as the lower range of the current market structure and indicates a potential area for buying or going long.
█ How to Use
Identifying Trends and Reversals: Traders can use the indicator to identify the overall market trend and potential reversal points. By observing the ChoCH, SMS, and BMS signals, traders can gauge whether the market is transitioning into a new trend or continuing the current trend.
Example Strategies
⚪ Trend Following Strategy:
Identify the current market trend using BMS signals.
Enter a trade in the direction of the trend when the price retraces to the mid-range zone.
Set a stop-loss just below the mid-range (for long trades) or above the mid-range (for short trades).
Take profit in the premium/discount zone or when a ChoCH signal indicates a potential reversal.
⚪ Reversal Strategy:
Wait for a ChoCH signal to identify a potential market reversal.
Enter a trade in the direction of the new trend as indicated by the SMS signal.
Set a stop-loss just beyond the recent high (for short trades) or low (for long trades).
Take profit when the price reaches the premium or discount zone opposite to the entry.
█ Settings
Curved Trend Length: Determines the length of the trend used to calculate the adaptive size of the structure. Adjusting this length allows traders to capture either longer-term trends (for smoother curves) or short-term trends (for more reactive curves).
Curved Multiplier: Scales the adjustment factors for the upper and lower bands. Increasing the multiplier widens the bands, reducing sensitivity to price changes. Decreasing it narrows the bands, making the structure more responsive.
Pivot Period: Sets the period for capturing trends. A higher period captures broader trends, while a lower period focuses on short-term trends.
Response Period: Adjusts the structure’s responsiveness. A low value focuses on short-term changes, while a high value smoothens the structure.
Premium/Discount Range: Allows toggling between displaying the active range or previous range to analyze real-time or historical levels.
Structure Candles: Enables the display of curved structure candles on the chart, providing a modified view of price action.

KillZones + ACD Fisher [TradingFinder] Sessions + Reversal Level🔵 Introduction
🟣 ACD Method
"The Logical Trader" opens with a thorough exploration of the ACD Methodology, which focuses on pinpointing particular price levels associated with the opening range.
This approach enables traders to establish reference points for their trades, using "A" and "C" points as entry markers. Additionally, the book covers the concept of the "Pivot Range" and how integrating it with the ACD method can help maximize position size while minimizing risk.
🟣 Session
The forex market is operational 24 hours a day, five days a week, closing only on Saturdays and Sundays. Typically, traders prefer to concentrate on one specific forex trading session rather than attempting to trade around the clock.
Trading sessions are defined time periods when a particular financial market is active, allowing for the execution of trades.
The most crucial trading sessions within the 24-hour cycle are the Asia, London, and New York sessions, as these are when substantial money flows and liquidity enter the market.
🟣 Kill Zone
Traders in financial markets earn profits by capitalizing on the difference between their buy/sell prices and the prevailing market prices.
Traders vary in their trading timelines.Some traders engage in daily or even hourly trading, necessitating activity during periods with optimal trading volumes and notable price movements.
Kill zones refer to parts of a session characterized by higher trading volumes and increased price volatility compared to the rest of the session.
🔵 How to Use
🟣 Session Times
The "Asia Session" comprises two parts: "Sydney" and "Tokyo." This session begins at 23:00 and ends at 06:00 UTC. The "Asia KillZone" starts at 23:00 and ends at 03:55 UTC.
The "London Session" includes "Frankfurt" and "London," starting at 07:00 and ending at 14:25 UTC. The "London KillZone" runs from 07:00 to 09:55 UTC.
The "New York" session starts at 14:30 and ends at 19:25 UTC, with the "New York am KillZone" beginning at 14:30 and ending at 22:55 UTC.
🟣 ACD Methodology
The ACD strategy is versatile, applicable to various markets such as stocks, commodities, and forex, providing clear buy and sell signals to set price targets and stop losses.
This strategy operates on the premise that the opening range of trades holds statistical significance daily, suggesting that initial market movements impact the market's behavior throughout the day.
Known as a breakout strategy, the ACD method thrives in volatile or strongly trending markets like crude oil and stocks.
Some key rules for employing the ACD strategy include :
Utilize points A and C as critical reference points, continually monitoring these during trades as they act as entry and exit markers.
Analyze daily and multi-day pivot ranges to understand market trends. Prices above the pivots indicate an upward trend, while prices below signal a downward trend.
In forex trading, the ACD strategy can be implemented using the ACD indicator, a technical tool that gauges the market's supply and demand balance. By evaluating trading volume and price, this indicator assists traders in identifying trend strength and optimal entry and exit points.
To effectively use the ACD indicator, consider the following :
Identifying robust trends: The ACD indicator can help pinpoint strong, consistent market trends.
Determining entry and exit points: ACD generates buy and sell signals to optimize trade timing.
Bullish Setup :
When the "A up" line is breached, it’s wise to wait briefly to confirm it’s not a "Fake Breakout" and that the price stabilizes above this line.
Upon entering the trade, the most effective stop loss is positioned below the "A down" line. It's advisable to backtest this to ensure the best outcomes. The recommended reward-to-risk ratio for this strategy is 1, which should also be verified through backtesting.
Bearish Setup :
When the "A down" line is breached, it’s prudent to wait briefly to ensure it’s not a "Fake Breakout" and that the price stabilizes below this line.
Upon entering the trade, the most effective stop loss is positioned above the "A up" line. Backtesting is recommended to confirm the best results. The recommended reward-to-risk ratio for this strategy is 1, which should also be validated through backtesting.
Advantages of Combining Kill Zone and ACD Method in Market Analysis :
Precise Trade Timing : Integrating the Kill Zone strategy with the ACD Method enhances precision in trade entries and exits. The ACD Method identifies key points for trading, while the Kill Zone focuses on high-activity periods, together ensuring optimal timing for trades.
Better Trend Identification : The ACD Method’s pivot ranges help spot market trends, and when combined with the Kill Zone’s emphasis on periods of significant price movement, traders can more effectively identify and follow strong market trends.
Maximized Profits and Minimized Risks : The ACD Method's structured approach to setting price targets and stop losses, coupled with the Kill Zone's high-volume trading periods, helps maximize profit potential while reducing risk.
Robust Risk Management : Combining these methods provides a comprehensive risk management strategy, strategically placing stop losses and protecting capital during volatile periods.
Versatility Across Markets : Both methods are applicable to various markets, including stocks, commodities, and forex, offering flexibility and adaptability in different trading environments.
Enhanced Confidence : Using the combined insights of the Kill Zone and ACD Method, traders gain confidence in their decision-making process, reducing emotional trading and improving consistency.
By merging the Kill Zone’s focus on trading volumes and the ACD Method’s structured breakout strategy, traders benefit from a synergistic approach that enhances precision, trend identification, and risk management across multiple markets.
ICT Turtle Soup | Flux Charts💎 GENERAL OVERVIEW
Introducing our new ICT Turtle Soup Indicator! This indicator is built around the ICT "Turtle Soup" model. The strategy has 5 steps for execution which are described in this write-up. For more information about the process, check the "HOW DOES IT WORK" section.
Features of the new ICT Turtle Soup Indicator :
Implementation of ICT's Turtle Soup Strategy
Adaptive Entry Method
Customizable Execution Settings
Customizable Backtesting Dashboard
Alerts for Buy, Sell, TP & SL Signals
📌 HOW DOES IT WORK ?
The ICT Turtle Soup strategy may have different implementations depending on the selected method of the trader. This indicator's implementation is described as :
1. Mark higher timerame liquidity zones.
Liquidity zones are where a lot of market orders sit in the chart. They are usually formed from the long / short position holders' "liquidity" levels. There are various ways to find them, most common one being drawing them on the latest high & low pivot points in the chart, which this indicator does.
2. Mark current timeframe market structure.
The market structure is the current flow of the market. It tells you if the market is trending right now, and the way it's trending towards. It's formed from swing higs, swing lows and support / resistance levels.
3. Wait for market to make a liquidity grab on the higher timeframe liquidity zone.
A liquidity grab is when the marked liquidity zones have a false breakout, which means that it gets broken for a brief amount of time, but then price falls back to it's previous position.
4. Buyside liquidity grabs are "Short" entries and Sellside liquidity grabs are "Long" entries by default.
5. Wait for the market-structure shift in the current timeframe for entry confirmation.
A market-structure shift happens when the current market structure changes, usually when a new swing high / swing low is formed. This indicator uses it as a confirmation for position entry as it gives an insight of the new trend of the market.
6. Place Take-Profit and Stop-Loss levels according to the risk ratio.
This indicator uses "Average True Range" when placing the stop-loss & take-profit levels. Average True Range calculates the average size of a candle and the indicator places the stop-loss level using ATR times the risk setting determined by the user, then places the take-profit level trying to keep a minimum of 1:1 risk-reward ratio.
This indicator follows these steps and inform you step by step by plotting them in your chart.
🚩UNIQUENESS
This indicator is an all-in-one suit for the ICT's Turtle Soup concept. It's capable of plotting the strategy, giving signals, a backtesting dashboard and alerts feature. It's designed for simplyfing a rather complex strategy, helping you to execute it with clean signals. The backtesting dashboard allows you to see how your settings perform in the current ticker. You can also set up alerts to get informed when the strategy is executable for different tickers.

MSS Swing Length -> The swing length when finding liquidity zones for market structure-shift detection.
Higher Timeframe -> The higher timeframe to look for liquidity grabs. This timeframe setting must be higher than the current chart's timeframe for the indicator to work.
Breakout Method -> If "Wick" is selected, a bar wick will be enough to confirm a market structure-shift. If "Close" is selected, the bar must close above / below the liquidity zone to confirm a market structure-shift.
Entry Method ->
"Classic" : Works as described on the "HOW DOES IT WORK" section.
"Adaptive" : When "Adaptive" is selected, the entry conditions may chance depending on the current performance of the indicator. It saves the entry conditions and the performance of the past entries, then for the new entries it checks if it predicted the liquidity grabs correctly with the current setup, if so, continues with the same logic. If not, it changes behaviour to reverse the entries from long / short to short / long.
2. TP / SL
TP / SL Method -> If "Fixed" is selected, you can adjust the TP / SL ratios from the settings below. If "Dynamic" is selected, the TP / SL zones will be auto-determined by the algorithm.
Risk -> The risk you're willing to take if "Dynamic" TP / SL Method is selected. Higher risk usually means a better winrate at the cost of losing more if the strategy fails. This setting is has a crucial effect on the performance of the indicator, as different tickers may have different volatility so the indicator may have increased performance when this setting is correctly adjusted.

Unlocking the Power of Long Candle MidpointI'm excited to share with you a fascinating concept that can help you identify potential breakout points in the market.
The Pine Script code provided below is designed to identify the midpoint of a long candle, which can be a crucial level for traders to watch.
In this blog post, we'll dive deeper into the concept, explore its applications, and analyze a real-life example of TATACHEM listed on NSE, which is currently trading around a potential psychology line.
What is the Long Candle Midpoint?
The long candle midpoint is a technical indicator that calculates the midpoint of a candlestick that has a significant price movement. This midpoint is then used to draw a horizontal line, which can serve as a potential support or resistance level. The idea is that if a candlestick has a large price movement, it's likely that the market will react to this movement by testing the midpoint of the candle.
How Does the Long Candle Midpoint Indicator Work?
The Pine Script code provided above is designed to calculate the midpoint of a long candle based on the following parameters:
Length: The length of the candlestick is calculated using the len input parameter.
Line Length: The length of the line is calculated using the linExt input parameter.
Calculation Method: The calculation method can be set to either "Highest True Range", "Average True Range", or "Both".
Multiplier: The multiplier is used to adjust the midpoint calculation based on the average range of the candlestick.
The script then plots a horizontal line at the midpoint of the long candle, which can be used as a potential support or resistance level.
Real-Life Example:
Let's take a look at TATACHEM, a stock listed on the National Stock Exchange of India (NSE). As you can see in the chart below,
TATACHEM has been trading around a potential psychology line drawn from the midpoint of a large candle.
As you can see, the stock has previously failed to break above this line, but it's currently trading around it. This could be a sign that the market is preparing for a potential breakout. If the stock can break above this line, it could lead to a bullish rally.
Conclusion
The long candle midpoint indicator is a powerful tool that can help traders identify potential breakout points in the market. By analyzing the midpoint of a long candle, traders can gain insights into the market's sentiment and potential areas of support or resistance.
In the case of TATACHEM, the stock is currently trading around a potential psychology line, which could be a sign of a potential breakout. Traders can consider this point in their watch list for a potential entry. Tips for Traders
Use the long candle midpoint indicator in conjunction with other technical indicators to gain a more comprehensive understanding of the market.
Look for confirmation from other indicators before entering a trade.
Set stop-loss and take-profit levels based on the potential breakout point.
Monitor the market closely and be prepared to adjust your strategy if the market doesn't behave as expected.
By incorporating the long candle midpoint indicator into your trading strategy, you can gain an edge in the market and make more informed trading decisions.

Grid TraderGrid Trader Indicator ( GTx ):
Overview
The Grid Trader Indicator is a tool that helps traders visualize key levels within a specified trading range. The indicator plots accumulation and distribution levels, an entry level, an exit level, and a midpoint. This guide will help you understand how to use the indicator and its features for effective grid trading.
Basics of Trading Range, Grid Buy, and Grid Sell
Trading Range
A trading range is the horizontal price movement between a defined upper ( resistance ) and lower ( support ) level over a period of time. When a security trades within a range, it repeatedly moves between these two levels without trending upwards or downwards significantly. Traders often use the trading range to identify potential buy and sell points:
Upper Level (Resistance): This is the price level at which selling pressure overcomes buying pressure, preventing the price from rising further.
Lower Level (Support): This is the price level at which buying pressure overcomes selling pressure, preventing the price from falling further.
Grid Trading Strategy
Grid trading is a type of trading strategy that involves placing buy and sell orders at predefined intervals around a set price. It aims to profit from the natural market volatility by buying low and selling high in a range-bound market. The strategy divides the trading range into several grid levels where orders are placed.
Grid Buy
Grid buy orders are placed at intervals below the current price . When the price drops to these levels, buy orders are triggered . This strategy ensures that the trader buys more as the price falls, potentially lowering the average purchase price .
Grid Sell
Grid sell orders are placed at intervals above the current price . When the price rises to these levels, sell orders are triggered . This ensures that the trader sells portions of their holdings as the price increases, potentially securing profits at higher levels .
Key Points of Grid Trading
Grid Size : The interval between each buy and sell order. This can be constant (e.g., $2 intervals) or variable based on certain conditions.
Accumulation Range : The lower part of the trading range where buy orders are placed.
Distribution Range : The upper part of the trading range where sell orders are placed.
Midpoint : The average price of the entry and exit levels, often used as a reference point for balance.
As the price moves up and down within this range, your buy orders will be triggered as the price drops and your sell orders will be triggered as the price rises. This allows you to accumulate more of the asset at lower prices and sell portions at higher prices, profiting from the price oscillations within the defined range. Grid trading can be particularly effective in a sideways market where there is no clear long-term trend. However, it requires careful monitoring and adjustment of grid levels based on market conditions to minimize risks and maximize returns .

Distribution Levels : These are plotted above the exit level and are potential sell zones. They are labeled as Distribution Level 1, 2, and 3.
Upper Level : Marked in fuchsia, indicating the top boundary of the trading range.
Exit Level : Marked in yellow, indicating the level at which you plan to exit trades.
Midpoint : Marked in white, indicating the average of the entry and exit levels.
Entry Level : Marked in yellow, indicating the level at which you plan to enter trades.
Lower Level : Marked in aqua, indicating the bottom boundary of the trading range.
By visualizing key levels, you can make informed decisions on where to place buy and sell orders, potentially maximizing your trading profits through systematic grid trading.

BEC (Bearish Elephant Candle)Description:
The Bearish Elephant Candle Indicator is designed to identify and signal potential short entry points based on the Bearish Elephant Candle pattern. This pattern is characterized by a large bearish candle, where the body (difference between open and close) is more than 70% of the entire range (difference between high and low), and the total range is greater than the average true range over a specified period. The indicator also plots a 20-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA) to help visualize the trend.
How It Works:
Bearish Elephant Candle Identification:
The indicator calculates the true range and the average true range (ATR) over a specified period (default is 20 periods).
A candle is identified as a Bearish Elephant Candle if the body is more than 70% of the entire range, and the total range exceeds the average true range.
Short Entry Signal:
When a Bearish Elephant Candle is identified, a short entry signal is plotted on the chart as a red downward label.
Exponential Moving Average (EMA):
A 20-period EMA is plotted on the chart to help users visualize the overall trend. The EMA can serve as an additional filter or exit point for trades.
Pros:
Simplicity: The Bearish Elephant Candle pattern is straightforward to understand and identify.
Visual Signals: The indicator provides clear visual signals for potential short entries, making it easy for traders to spot opportunities.
Trend Visualization: The inclusion of the EMA helps traders stay aligned with the overall trend, potentially improving the effectiveness of the signals.
Cons:
False Signals: Like any pattern-based indicator, it can generate false signals, especially in choppy or sideways markets.
No Confirmation: This version of the indicator does not include additional confirmation signals (e.g., from other indicators like MACD), which may reduce its reliability.
Limited Scope: The indicator focuses solely on bearish signals and does not provide long entry signals.
Best Way to Use It:
Trend Alignment: Use the 20-period EMA to ensure you are trading in the direction of the overall trend. For example, prioritize short signals when the price is below the EMA.
Combine with Other Indicators: Enhance the reliability of the signals by combining this indicator with other technical indicators (e.g., MACD, RSI) for additional confirmation.
Risk Management: Always use proper risk management techniques, such as stop-loss orders, to protect against adverse market movements. Consider placing stop-loss orders above the high of the Bearish Elephant Candle.
Market Context: Be mindful of the broader market context and avoid using the indicator in highly volatile or news-driven environments where patterns may be less reliable.

OBVious MA Indicator [1000X] On Balance Volume (OBV) is a gift to traders. OBV often provides a leading signal at the outset of a trend, when compression in the markets produces a surge in OBV prior to increased volatility.
This indicator demonstrates one method of utilizing OBV to your advantage. I call it the "OBVious MA Indicator ” only because it is simple in its mechanics. The primary utility of the OBVious MA indicator is as a volume confirmation filter that complements other components of a strategy.
Indicator Features:
• The Indicator revolves around the On Balance Volume indicator. OBV is a straightforward indicator: it registers a value by adding total volume traded on up candles, and subtracts total volume on down candles, generating a line by connecting those values. OBV was described in 1963 by Joe Granville in his book "Granville's New Key to Stock Market Profits” in which the author argues that OBV is the most vital key to success as a trader, with volume changes are a major predictor of price changes.
• Dual Moving Averages: here we use separate moving averages for entries and exits. This allows for more granular trade management; for example, one can either extend the length of the exit MA to hold positions longer, or shorten the MA for swifter exits, independently of the entry signals.
Execution: long trades are signalled when the OBV line crosses above the Long Entry Moving Average of the OBV. Long exits signals occur when the OBV line crosses under the Long Exit MA of the OBV. Shorts signal occur on a cross below the Short Entry MA, and exit signals come on a cross above the Short Exit MA.
Application:
While this indicator outlines entry and exit conditions based on OBV crossovers with designated moving averages, is is, as stated, best used in conjunction with a supporting cast of confirmatory indicators (feel free to drop me a note and tell me how you've used it). It can be used to confirm entries, or you might try using it as a sole exit indicator in a strategy.
Visualization:
The indicator includes conditional plotting of the OBV MAs, which plot based on the selected trading direction. This visualization aids in understanding how OBV interacts with the set moving averages.
Further Discussion:
We all know the importance of volume; this indicator demonstrates one simple yet effective method of incorporating the OBV for volume analysis. The OBV indicator can be used in many ways - for example, we can monitor OBV trend line breaks, look for divergences, or as we do here, watch for breaks of the moving average.
Despite its simplicity, I'm unaware of any previously published cases of this method. But the concept of applying MAs or EMAs to volume-based indicators like OBV is not uncommon in technical analysisIf, so I expect work like this has been done before. If you know of other similar indicators or strategies, please mention in the comments.
One comparable method uses EMAs of the OBV is QuantNomad’s "On Balance Volume Oscillator Strategy ”. That strategy uses a pair of EMAs on a normalized-range OBV-based oscillator. In that strategy, however, entry and exit signals occur on one EMA crossing the other, which places trades at distinctly different times than crossings of the OBV itself. Both are valid approaches with strength in simplicity.
Note: This is the indicator version of the Strategy found here .

Embrace a smarter way to trade, where awareness and preparation open the door to success.
Let's dive into each of the components of this indicator.
Volume: Volume refers to the number of shares or contracts traded in a security or an entire market during a given period. It is a measure of the total trading activity and liquidity, indicating the overall interest in a stock or market.
Price Action: the analysis of historical prices to inform trading decisions, without the use of technical indicators. It focuses on the movement of prices to identify patterns, trends, and potential reversal points in the market.
Relative Strength Line: The RS line is a popular tool used to compare the performance of a stock, typically calculated as the ratio of the stock's price to a benchmark index's price. It helps identify outperformers and underperformers relative to the market or a specific sector. The RS value is calculated by dividing the close price of the chosen stock by the close price of the comparative symbol (SPX by default).
Average True Range (ATR): ATR is a market volatility indicator used to show the average range prices swing over a specified period. It is calculated by taking the moving average of the true ranges of a stock for a specific period. The true range for a period is the greatest of the following three values:
The difference between the current high and the current low.
The absolute value of the current high minus the previous close.
The absolute value of the current low minus the previous close.
Average Daily Range (ADR): ADR is a measure used in trading to capture the average range between the high and low prices of an asset over a specified number of past trading days. Unlike the Average True Range (ATR), which accounts for gaps in the price from one day to the next, the Average Daily Range focuses solely on the trading range within each day and averages it out.
Anchored VWAP: AVWAP gives the average price of an asset, weighted by volume, starting from a specific anchor point. This provides traders with a dynamic average price considering both price and volume from a specific start point, offering insights into the market's direction and potential support or resistance levels.
Moving Averages: Moving Averages smooth out price data by creating a constantly updated average price over a specific period of time. It helps traders identify trends by flattening out the fluctuations in price data.
Stochastic: A stochastic oscillator is a momentum indicator used in technical analysis that compares a particular closing price of an asset to a range of its prices over a certain period of time. The theory behind the stochastic oscillator is that in a market trending upwards, prices will tend to close near their high, and in a market trending downwards, prices close near their low.
While each of these components offer unique insights into market behavior, providing sell signals under specific conditions, the power of combining these different signals lies in their ability to confirm each other's signals. This in turn reduces false positives and provides a more reliable basis for trading decisions
These signals can be recognized at any time, however the indicators power is in it's ability to take into account where a trade is in terms of your entry price and stop.
If a trade just started, it hasn’t earned much leeway. Kind of like a new employee that shows up late on the first day of work. It’s less forgivable than say the person who has been there for a while, has done well, is on time, and then one day comes in late.
Contextual Sensitivity:
For instance, a high volume sell-off coupled with a bearish price action pattern significantly strengthens the sell signal. When the price closes below an Anchored VWAP or a critical moving average in this context, it reaffirms the bearish sentiment, suggesting that the momentum is likely to continue downwards.
By considering the relative strength line (RS) alongside volume and price action, the indicator can differentiate between a normal retracement in a strong uptrend and a when a stock starts to become a laggard.
The integration of ATR and ADR provides a dynamic framework that adjusts to the market's volatility. A sudden increase in ATR or a character change detected through comparing short-term and long-term ADR can alert traders to emerging trends or reversals.
The "Danger Signals" indicator exemplifies the power of integrating diverse technical indicators to create a more sophisticated, responsive, and adaptable trading tool. This approach not only amplifies the individual strengths of each indicator but also mitigates their weaknesses.
