ICT SMC Liquidity Grabs and OBsICT SMC Liquidity Grabs + OB + Fibonacci OTE Levels
Smart Money Concepts Trading Assistant
This script is built for traders who follow ICT (Inner Circle Trader) and Smart Money Concepts. It intelligently combines three critical components of SMC trading: Liquidity Grabs, Order Blocks, and Fibonacci-based Optimal Trade Entry (OTE) zones — giving traders visual cues for potential high-probability reversals and entry points.
🔍 What This Script Does:
Detects Liquidity Grabs
Identifies swing highs/lows where price sweeps liquidity, then immediately reverses.
Labels them with orange markers when price takes out previous highs/lows but closes back inside.
Draws Order Blocks
After a liquidity grab, the script looks for strong bullish or bearish candles and automatically highlights the OB zone.
These OB zones are visualized with transparent colored boxes extending several bars forward.
Plots Fibonacci OTE Levels
Uses recent swing high/low pivots to dynamically draw customizable OTE retracement levels (e.g., 62% and 75%) for both long and short setups.
Highlights Optimal Entry Zones
Marks valid OTE-based buy/sell opportunities only when:
Liquidity has been taken,
Price enters the OTE zone,
And a strong confirming candle appears.
Adds visual zones, trade labels, and optional alerts for each qualified entry.
Includes Take Profit Targets
Automatically calculates take-profit levels based on previous structure and risk-reward ratios.
TP1 is the previous swing, and TP2 is an extended R-multiple (customizable by user).
⚙️ Customization Options:
Toggle each feature (Liquidity Grabs, OBs, Fibonacci Levels)
Adjust Fibonacci levels (default: 62% and 75%)
Set lookback period for liquidity checks
Customize the R-multiple for TP2 levels
💡 How to Use:
Enable desired features from the input panel.
Watch for Buy/Sell OTE zones highlighted in green/red.
Confirm with liquidity sweep and OB support for stronger signals.
Use the automatically generated TP levels to manage risk.
🚀 What Makes It Unique:
Unlike other open-source mashups, this script synchronizes multiple SMC concepts into a single tool that:
Waits for high-confidence conditions (not just blind fib or OB detection)
Validates entries using multiple confluences
Visually marks actionable setups
Automates trade management zones
Whether you're trend-trading, scalping, or swing trading ICT-style, this tool offers a streamlined, smart-money-aligned workflow directly on your chart.

Elevate your trading and tap into a system built for precision and performance. Step into a new era of market analysis—where every retest is a potential win!
User Manual
1. Introduction
The Multi-Timeframe VWAP Indicator is engineered to help you interpret market sentiment and spot key entry signals by displaying customizable VWAPs from various timeframes. By highlighting moments when the price diverges from its fair value, this tool provides actionable insights to short overvalued markets and buy undervalued opportunities. Always use in conjunction with your overall market analysis and risk management protocols.
2. Understanding VWAP Basics
What is VWAP?
The Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) represents the average price a security has traded at throughout the day, based on both volume and price. It’s widely regarded as a benchmark for fair value.
How It Works:
Price Above VWAP: Indicates the security is trading at a premium—often a sign to consider short positions if confirmed by the weekly trend.
Price Below VWAP: Suggests the security is trading at a discount—an ideal signal for initiating a long or buying position.
Multi-Timeframe Advantage:
The indicator allows you to select VWAPs across different timeframes, offering a dynamic view that lets you align trades with the main weekly trend and pinpoint retest opportunities.
3. Installation and Setup
A. Installation Steps
Access TradingView:
Log in to your TradingView account.
Add the Indicator:
Open the “Indicators” menu on your chart.
Select “Add Script” and paste the provided code or locate the indicator by name if published publicly.
Apply the indicator to your chart.
Customizing Display Settings:
Select Timeframes: Choose which timeframe VWAPs you want displayed (e.g., intraday, daily, weekly).
Adjust Appearance: Customize line colors, thickness, and opacity through the indicator’s settings panel to match your chart style.
Set Alerts (Optional): Configure alerts when price crosses above or below a VWAP, ensuring you never miss a signal.
B. Initial Configuration Tips
Double-check that the indicator is plotting on your desired timeframes.
Familiarize yourself with the input parameters to adjust the VWAP calculations if necessary (e.g., session start/end times).
4. How to Use the Indicator
A. Interpreting Signals
Overvalued (Short Setup):
When the price moves above a selected VWAP, it indicates that the market may be overbought. Look for additional confirmation (such as alignment with the main weekly trend) before taking a short position.
Example: Price surges above the daily VWAP while the weekly trend remains bearish. This convergence signals that a pullback is likely.
Undervalued (Buy Setup):
Conversely, when the price is below the VWAP, the market is signifying a discount. This is your cue to look for buying opportunities.
Example: A dip below the daily VWAP in an overall bullish weekly trend can present a prime entry as the market is expected to recover.
Retest Strategy:
The most robust trades occur when price retests the VWAP in the direction of the main weekly trend.
Wait for a price retest of the VWAP level as confirmation.
Confirm that the retest aligns with the broader trend before entering the trade.
B. Practical Steps When Trading
Confirm the Trend:
Use other trend indicators or price action analysis to confirm the weekly market direction.
Monitor Price Action:
Observe how the price interacts with the VWAP lines. A strong retest provides confidence in your trade decision.
Execute and Manage Trades:
Enter a position when the price retests the VWAP and aligns with the trend.
Set stops just beyond the VWAP line to protect against unexpected volatility.
Consider profit-taking levels based on key support/resistance zones.

RSI Price LadderFX:XAUUSD
Overview
RSI Price Ladder is an indicator that visualizes RSI levels mapped directly to price levels across multiple timeframes.
It helps traders see where the RSI will reach certain threshold values (like 30, 50, 70) in terms of price, without calculating manually.
It dynamically draws ladder lines (price levels) based on user-defined RSI targets, allowing clear visualization of RSI movements versus price action.
Purpose for Traders
Forecast Price Zones: Understand at which price levels RSI would hit oversold/overbought zones.
Multi-Timeframe Analysis: Monitor RSI-price relationships across multiple timeframes simultaneously (e.g., M5, M15, H1, H4).
Timing Entries and Exits: Plan precise entries or exits based on expected RSI behavior without switching between charts.
Visual Clarity: Simplifies multi-timeframe RSI tracking by ladder-style price mapping directly on the current chart.
Configuration
RSI length: The period for RSI calculation (default 14).
RSI Target Levels (1–7): Define up to 7 custom RSI levels (e.g., 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80).
Spacing Between Ladders: Horizontal spacing between different timeframe ladders on the chart.
Pointer Colors: Customize colors for current RSI, EMA(9) of RSI, and WMA(45) of RSI.
Show TF1–TF4: Toggle visibility of up to four different timeframe ladders.
Interval TF1–TF4: Select timeframes to draw ladders (choices from 1m to 1W including 3D).
Ladder Colors: Customize the ladder color for each timeframe separately.
How to read data
See explaination:
How to use
The primary goal of this indicator is to help traders easily and accurately see price levels corresponding to specific RSI values .
Identifying Multi-Timeframe Support and Resistance
According to RSI behavior:
- In an uptrend, RSI tends to find support around 40, previous RSI bottoms, and the WMA45.
- In a downtrend, RSI tends to face resistance around 60, previous RSI tops, and the WMA45.
Using the RSI Price Ladder, you can accurately pinpoint the exact price levels corresponding to these RSI support and resistance zones.
Defining Entry Zones, Stop Loss, and Take-Profit Areas Based on RSI
For example:
By observing RSI behavior, I noticed a downward trend forming.
On both M15 and H1 timeframes, RSI resistance levels align with the price zone around 3043–3054.
Thus, I can plan a sell trade in this entry zone:
- Stop loss: If RSI breaks above the resistance level, which also corresponds to a price resistance.
- Take-profits at two areas:
RSI support on M5 at RSI 30, corresponding to price 3007.
RSI support on M15 at RSI 30, corresponding to price 2988.
You see, with the ladder, we can directly visualize the price levels corresponding to RSI points on the chart, making decision-making more intuitive.
Result:
The price successfully hit TP1 and TP2.
Visualizing Buying and Selling Strength Across Timeframes
The indicator helps track the correlation of buying and selling strength across different timeframes at the same time. For instance: when selling pressure increases, higher timeframe RSI will typically be higher than lower timeframe RSI. Visualizing this makes it easier to observe and connect price movements across multiple timeframes quickly and clearly.
Visualizing When Combining with Other Methods
In this example:
- RSI shows support around 27.
- Instantly, on the price chart, I notice that the RSI 27 level aligns with the EMA200, a major dynamic price support.
Thus, a long setup can be considered:
- Entry: Near this confluence zone.
- Stop loss: Below the EMA200 or if RSI drops to 20.
Summary
RSI Price Ladder gives traders a powerful visual tool to link RSI behavior to real price levels across multiple timeframes, enhancing strategic entry/exit planning without needing to flip charts.
- Save time spotting RSI targets.
- Stay organized across multiple timeframes.
- Customize the entire ladder experience from colors to intervals.
Wyckoff Schematic - Accumulation [TrendX_]Wyckoff Schematic 1 - Accumulation is an advanced Wyckoff method tool on TradingView, designed to automate the identification of critical phases and price structures within the Wyckoff Accumulation Schematic. By detecting key events such as SC (Selling Climax), AR (Automatic Rally), Spring, and SOS (Sign of Strength), this tool helps traders visualize institutional accumulation patterns, anticipate trend reversals, and identify potential entry points aligned with the Wyckoff model—all without requiring hours of manual monitoring. The indicator dynamically labels key points, draws accumulation zones, and triggers alerts upon phase confirmations, reducing manual analysis and emotional bias.
💎 FEATURES
▶ Phase A: Bottom Identification
Auto-detects Selling Climax (SC), Automatic Rally (AR), and Secondary Test (ST).
Customizable initial trend detection: FTD (Follow-Through Day), Market Structure Shift, Triple MA Crossover, or Ichimoku Cloud.
▶ Phase B: Accumulation Range Formation
Identifies SOS(b) and ST(b) in Phase B
Customizable sweep levels for ST detection: previous SC / ST(a) / Fibonacci retracement levels of AR & SC.
▶ Phase C: Accumulation Confirmation
Flags Spring (false breakdown) and Test (confirmation of false breakdown).
▶ Phase D: Breakout Preparation
Detects SOS and BU/LPS for breakout confirmation.
▶ Visual Tools
Auto-draws accumulation range SC, AR, SOS(b) with real-time extensions.
Labels all critical events (SC, AR, ST, SOS, Spring, LPS) with text and markers.
Draws colored boxes for confirmed phases A, B and C, and triggers alerts for start of Markup with SOS and BU/LPS.
🔎 BREAKOUT
Phase A: Halting the Downtrend
▶ Key Events: SC, AR, ST(a).
▶ Functions:
SC: Marks panic selling, often with high volume.
AR: Sharp rebound after SC, reflecting short-term demand.
ST(a): Retest of SC lows to confirm weakening supply.
▶ Importance:
Phase A signals the end of a downtrend. The SC shows exhaustion, while the AR and ST confirm that sellers are losing control. Customizable trend detection (e.g., Ichimoku Cloud or FTD) ensures alignment with broader market context or your preference.
Phase B: Building the Accumulation Range
▶ Key events: SOS (Pha B), ST (Pha B).
▶ Functions:
SOS(b): A rally breaking above the AR, indicating strong demand.
ST(b): Retests of SC / ST(a) / Fib level to sweep liquidity (trap late sellers).
▶ Importance:
Phase B confirms the sideways range. SOS reflects institutional buying, while ST(b) traps sellers. Sweeping SC / ST(a) / Fib level would help identify false breakdowns.
Phase C: Spring & Test
▶ Key events: Spring (false breakdown), Test (confirmation).
▶ Functions:
Spring: A deliberate drop below Phase B support to eliminate weak traders.
Test: Retest of the Spring low to confirm sustained demand.
▶ Importance:
Phase C is the final "shakeout" to confirm accumulation. The Spring traps weak hands, while the Test validates support, confirming the institution has bought enough, signaling readiness for Markup.
Phase D: Breakout / Start of Markup
▶ Key events: SOS, BU/LPS.
▶ Functions:
SOS: A strong rally breaking above the accumulation range.
BU/LPS: Pullback after SOS to retest the breakout level.
▶ Importance:
Phase D confirms the start of a Markup. SOS shows demand overpowering supply, while BU/LPS offers low-risk entry points.
Accumulation Range & Visual Tools
▶ Accumulation Range: Drawn between SC (low) and AR (high), reflecting institutional buying activity.
▶ Labels/Boxes: Clear labels (SC, AR, ST, SOS, Spring, …) track each phase.
▶ Alerts: Notifies users when SOS or BU/LPS appears.
🛠️ USAGE
▶ Configuration
Phase A: Select trend detection method based on your preference and trading style (FTD, Market Structure, Triple MA, Mây Ichimoku).
Phase B: Adjust sweep levels (SC, ST(a), Fibonacci 61.8% của AR & SC).
▶ Interpretation
Bullish Trend: Confirmed Phase C (Spring + Test) followed by SOS in Phase D.
▶ Trading Strategy
Enter long positions at BU/LPS (Phase D) with volume or momentum confirmation.
Uses other Break-out strategy after SOS appear for Long Entry.
DISCLAIMER
This indicator is not financial advice, it can only help traders make better decisions. There are many factors and uncertainties that can affect the outcome of any endeavor, and no one can guarantee or predict with certainty what will occur. Therefore, one should always exercise caution and judgment when making decisions based on past performance.
Mswing HommaThe Mswing is a momentum oscillator that calculates the rate of price change over 20 and 50 periods (days/weeks). Apart from quantifying momentum, it can be used for assessing relative strength, sectoral rotation & entry/exit signals.
Quantifying Momentum Strength
The Mswing's relationship with its EMA (e.g., 5-period or 9-period) is used for momentum analysis:
• M Swing >0 and Above EMA: Momentum is positive and accelerating (ideal for entries).
• M Swing >0 and Below EMA: Momentum is positive but decelerating (caution).
• M Swing <0 and Above EMA: Momentum is negative but improving (watch for reversals).
• M Swing <0 and Below EMA: Momentum is negative and worsening (exit or avoid).
Relative Strength Scanning (M Score)
Sort stocks by their M Swing using TradingView’s Pine scanner.
Compare the Mswing scores of indices/sectors to allocate capital to stronger groups (e.g., renewables vs. traditional energy).
Stocks with strong Mswing scores tend to outperform during bullish phases, while weak ones collapse faster in downtrends.
Entry and Exit Signals
Entry: Buy when Mswing crosses above 0 + price breaks key moving averages (50-day SMA). Use Mswing >0 to confirm valid breakouts. Buy dips when Mswing holds above EMA during retracements.
Exit: Mswing can be used for exiting a stock in 2 ways:
• Sell in Strength: Mswing >4 (overbought).
• Sell in Weakness: Mswing <0 + price below 50-day SMA.
Multi-Timeframe Analysis
• Daily: For swing trades.
• Weekly: For trend confirmation.
• Monthly: For long-term portfolio adjustments.
Fibonacci & Bollinger Bands StrategyTrading System: Fibonacci & Bollinger Bands Strategy
1. Session Timing
Trade only from 1 PM onwards.
Identify the first candle on the 1 PM vertical line to set the market direction.
If it's a bullish candle, look for buy opportunities.
If it's a bearish candle, look for sell opportunities.
2. Fibonacci Retracement as a Measuring Tool
Identify the recent swing high and swing low before the 1 PM session.
Draw Fibonacci retracement levels from low to high (for buys) or high to low (for sells).
Key retracement levels to watch: 0.0%, 50.0%, and 100.0%.
Entries can be placed at 0.0% or 50.0%, aiming for a move toward 100.0% retracement.
3. Bollinger Bands Confirmation
If the Bollinger Bands are above price, expect a downward move (sell).
If the Bollinger Bands are below price, expect an upward move (buy).
Use this as additional confirmation for your Fibonacci-based trade.
4. Entry & Exit Rules
Entry:
If the 1 PM candle confirms a bullish bias, enter long near Fibonacci 0.0% or 50.0%.
If the 1 PM candle confirms a bearish bias, enter short near Fibonacci 0.0% or 50.0%.
Stop Loss: Below (for buys) or above (for sells) the swing low/high used for Fibonacci.
Take Profit: Target 100.0% retracement level or next key resistance/support.
5. Risk Management
Risk 1-2% per trade.
Avoid trading if price is too far from Fibonacci levels.
Confirm setup with Bollinger Bands alignment.
Mogwai Method with RSI and EMA - BTCUSD 15mThis is a custom TradingView indicator designed for trading Bitcoin (BTCUSD) on a 15-minute timeframe. It’s based on the Mogwai Method—a mean-reversion strategy—enhanced with the Relative Strength Index (RSI) for momentum confirmation. The indicator generates buy and sell signals, visualized as green and red triangle arrows on the chart, to help identify potential entry and exit points in the volatile cryptocurrency market.
Components
Bollinger Bands (BB):
Purpose: Identifies overextended price movements, signaling potential reversions to the mean.
Parameters:
Length: 20 periods (standard for mean-reversion).
Multiplier: 2.2 (slightly wider than the default 2.0 to suit BTCUSD’s volatility).
Role:
Buy signal when price drops below the lower band (oversold).
Sell signal when price rises above the upper band (overbought).
Relative Strength Index (RSI):
Purpose: Confirms momentum to filter out false signals from Bollinger Bands.
Parameters:
Length: 14 periods (classic setting, effective for crypto).
Overbought Level: 70 (price may be overextended upward).
Oversold Level: 30 (price may be overextended downward).
Role:
Buy signal requires RSI < 30 (oversold).
Sell signal requires RSI > 70 (overbought).
Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) (Plotted but not currently in signal logic):
Purpose: Provides trend context (included in the script for visualization, optional for signal filtering).
Parameters:
Fast EMA: 9 periods (short-term trend).
Slow EMA: 50 periods (longer-term trend).
Role: Can be re-added to filter signals (e.g., buy only when Fast EMA > Slow EMA).
Signals (Triangles):
Buy Signal: Green upward triangle below the bar when price is below the lower Bollinger Band and RSI is below 30.
Sell Signal: Red downward triangle above the bar when price is above the upper Bollinger Band and RSI is above 70.
How It Works
The indicator combines Bollinger Bands and RSI to spot mean-reversion opportunities:
Buy Condition: Price breaks below the lower Bollinger Band (indicating oversold conditions), and RSI confirms this with a reading below 30.
Sell Condition: Price breaks above the upper Bollinger Band (indicating overbought conditions), and RSI confirms this with a reading above 70.
The strategy assumes that extreme price movements in BTCUSD will often revert to the mean, especially in choppy or ranging markets.
Visual Elements
Green Upward Triangles: Appear below the candlestick to indicate a buy signal.
Red Downward Triangles: Appear above the candlestick to indicate a sell signal.
Bollinger Bands: Gray lines (upper, middle, lower) plotted for reference.
EMAs: Blue (Fast) and Orange (Slow) lines for trend visualization.
How to Use the Indicator
Setup
Open TradingView:
Log into TradingView and select a BTCUSD chart from a supported exchange (e.g., Binance, Coinbase, Bitfinex).
Set Timeframe:
Switch the chart to a 15-minute timeframe (15m).
Add the Indicator:
Open the Pine Editor (bottom panel in TradingView).
Copy and paste the script provided.
Click “Add to Chart” to apply it.
Verify Display:
You should see Bollinger Bands (gray), Fast EMA (blue), Slow EMA (orange), and buy/sell triangles when conditions are met.
Trading Guidelines
Buy Signal (Green Triangle Below Bar):
What It Means: Price is oversold, potentially ready to bounce back toward the Bollinger Band middle line.
Action:
Enter a long position (buy BTCUSD).
Set a take-profit near the middle Bollinger Band (bb_middle) or a resistance level.
Place a stop-loss 1-2% below the entry (or based on ATR, e.g., ta.atr(14) * 2).
Best Context: Works well in ranging markets; avoid during strong downtrends.
Sell Signal (Red Triangle Above Bar):
What It Means: Price is overbought, potentially ready to drop back toward the middle line.
Action:
Enter a short position (sell BTCUSD) or exit a long position.
Set a take-profit near the middle Bollinger Band or a support level.
Place a stop-loss 1-2% above the entry.
Best Context: Effective in ranging markets; avoid during strong uptrends.
Trend Filter (Optional):
To reduce false signals in trending markets, you can modify the script:
Add and ema_fast > ema_slow to the buy condition (only buy in uptrends).
Add and ema_fast < ema_slow to the sell condition (only sell in downtrends).
Check the Fast EMA (blue) vs. Slow EMA (orange) alignment visually.
Tips for BTCUSD on 15-Minute Charts
Volatility: BTCUSD can be erratic. If signals are too frequent, increase bb_mult (e.g., to 2.5) or adjust RSI levels (e.g., 75/25).
Confirmation: Use volume spikes or candlestick patterns (e.g., doji, engulfing) to confirm signals.
Time of Day: Mean-reversion works best during low-volume periods (e.g., Asian session in crypto).
Backtesting: Use TradingView’s Strategy Tester (convert to a strategy by adding entry/exit logic) to evaluate performance with historical BTCUSD data up to March 13, 2025.
Risk Management
Position Size: Risk no more than 1-2% of your account per trade.
Stop Losses: Always use stops to protect against BTCUSD’s sudden moves.
Avoid Overtrading: Wait for clear signals; don’t force trades in choppy or unclear conditions.
Example Scenario
Chart: BTCUSD, 15-minute timeframe.
Buy Signal: Price drops to $58,000, below the lower Bollinger Band, RSI at 28. A green triangle appears.
Action: Buy at $58,000, target $59,000 (middle BB), stop at $57,500.
Sell Signal: Price rises to $60,500, above the upper Bollinger Band, RSI at 72. A red triangle appears.
Action: Sell at $60,500, target $59,500 (middle BB), stop at $61,000.
This indicator is tailored for mean-reversion trading on BTCUSD. Let me know if you’d like to tweak it further (e.g., add filters, alerts, or alternative indicators)!
TrendPredator PROThe TrendPredator PRO
Stacey Burke, a seasoned trader and mentor, developed his trading system over the years, drawing insights from influential figures such as George Douglas Taylor, Tony Crabel, Steve Mauro, and Robert Schabacker. His popular system integrates select concepts from these experts into a consistent framework. While powerful, it remains highly discretionary, requiring significant real-time analysis, which can be challenging for novice traders.
The TrendPredator indicators support this approach by automating the essential analysis required to trade the system effectively and incorporating mechanical bias and a multi-timeframe concept. They provide value to traders by significantly reducing the time needed for session preparation, offering all relevant chart analysis and signals for live trading in real-time.
The PRO version offers an advanced pattern identification logic that highlights developing context as well as setups related to the constellation of the signals provided. It provides real-time interpretation of the multi-timeframe analysis table, following an extensive underlying logic with more than 150 different setup variations specifically developed for the system and indicator. These setups are constantly back- and forward-tested and updated according to the results. This version is tailored to traders primarily trading this system and following the related setups in detail.
The former TrendPredator ES version does not provide that option. It is significantly leaner and is designed for traders who want to use the multi-timeframe logic as additional confluence for their trading style. It is very well suited to support many other trading styles, including SMC and ICT.
The Multi-timeframe Master Pattern
Inspired by Taylor’s 3-day cycle and Steve Mauro’s work with “Beat the Market Maker,” Burke’s system views markets as cyclical, driven by the manipulative patterns of market makers. These patterns often trap traders at the extremes of moves above or below significant levels with peak formations, then reverse to utilize their liquidity, initiating the next phase. Breakouts away from these traps often lead to range expansions, as described by Tony Crabel and Robert Schabacker. After multiple consecutive breakouts, especially after the psychological number three, overextension might develop. A break in structure may then lead to reversals or pullbacks. The TrendPredator Indicator and the related multi-timeframe trading system are designed to track these cycles on the daily timeframe and provide signals and trade setups to navigate them.
Bias Logic and Multi-Timeframe Concept
The indicator covers the basic signals of Stacey Burke's system:
- First Red Day (FRD): Bearish break in structure, signalling weak longs in the market.
- First Green Day (FGD): Bullish break in structure signalling weak shorts in the markt.
- Three Days of Longs (3DL): Overextension signalling potential weak longs in the market.
- Three Days of Shorts (3DS): Overextension signalling potential weak shorts in the market.
- Inside Day (ID): Contraction, signalling potential impulsive reversal or range expansion move.
It enhances the original system by introducing:
Structured Bias Logic:
Tracks bias by following how price trades concerning the last previous candle high or low that was hit. For example if the high was hit, we are bullish above and bearish below.
- Bullish state: Breakout (BO), Fakeout Low (FOL)
- Bearish state: Breakdown (BD), Fakeout High (FOH)
Multi-Timeframe Perspective:
- Tracks all signals across H4, H8, D, W, and M timeframes, to look for alignment and follow trends and momentum in a mechanical way.
Developing Context:
- Identifies specific predefined context states based on the monthly, weekly and daily bias.
Developing Setups:
- Identifies specific predefined setups based on context and H8 bias as well as SB signals.
The indicator monitors the bias and signals of the system across all relevant timeframes and automates the related graphical chart analysis as well as context and setup zone identification. In addition to the master pattern, the system helps to identify the higher timeframe situation and follow the moves driven by other timeframe traders to then identify favourable context and setup situations for the trader.
Example: Full Bullish Cycle on the Daily Timeframe with Multi-Timeframe Signals
- The Trap/Peak Formation
The market breaks down from a previous day’s and maybe week’s low—potentially after multiple breakdowns—but fails to move lower and pulls back up to form a peak formation low and closes as a first green day.
MTF Signals: Bullish daily and weekly fakeout low; three consecutive breakdown days (1W Curr FOL, 1D Curr FOL, BO 3S).
Context: Reversal (REV)
Setup: Fakeout low continuation low of day (FOL Cont LOD)
- Pullback and Consolidation
The next day pulls further up after first green day signal, potentially consolidates inside the previous day’s range.
MTF Signals: Fakeout low and first green day closing as an inside day (1D Curr IS, Prev FOL, First G).
Context: Reversal continuation (REV Cont)
Setup: Previous fakeout low continuation low handing fruit (Prev FOL Cont LHF)
- Range Expansion/Trend
The following day breaks up through the previous day’s high, launching a range expansion away from the trap.
MTF Signals: Bullish daily breakout of an inside day (1D Curr BO, Prev IS).
Context: Uptrend healthy (UT)
Setup: Breakout continuation low hanging fruit (BO Cont LHF)
- Overextension
After multiple consecutive breakouts, the market reaches a state of overextension, signalling a possible reversal or pullback.
MTF Signals: Three days of breakout longs (1D Curr BO, Prev BO, BO 3L).
Context: Uptrend extended (UT)
- Reversal
After a breakout of previous days high that fails, price pulls away from the high showing a rollover of momentum across all timeframes and a potential short setup.
MTF Signals: Three days of breakout longs, daily fakeout high (1D 3L, FOH)
Context: Reversal countertrend (REV)
Setup: Fakeout high continuation high of day (FOH Cont HOD)
Note: This is only one possible illustrative scenario; there are many variations and combinations.

Context and Setups examples:
Note: The signals shown along the move are manually added illustrations. The indicator shows these in realtime in the table at top and bottom right. This is only one possible scenario; there are many variations and combinations.
Due to the fractal nature of markets, this cycle can be observed across all timeframes. The strongest setups occur when there is multi-timeframe alignment. For example, a peak formation and potential reversal on the daily timeframe have higher probability and follow-through when they align with bearish signals on higher timeframes (e.g., weekly/monthly BD/FOH) and confirmation on lower timeframes (H4/H8 FOH/BD). With this perspective, the system enables the trader to follow the trend and momentum while identifying rollover points in a highly differentiated and precise way.
Using the Indicator for Trading
The automated analysis provided by the indicator can be used for thesis generation in preparation for a session as well as for live trading, leveraging the real-time updates as well as the context and setup indicated or alerted. It is recommended to customize the settings deeply, such as hiding the lower timeframes for thesis generation or the specific alert time window and settings to the specific trading schedule and playbook of the trader.
1. Context Assessment:
Evaluate alignment of higher timeframes (e.g., Month/Week, Week/Day). More alignment → Stronger setups.
- The context table offers an interpretation of the higher timeframe automatically. See below for further details.
2. Setup Identification:
Follow the bias of daily and H8 timeframes. A setup mostly requires alignment of these.
Setup Types:
- Trend Trade: Trade in alignment with the previous day’s trend.
Example: Price above the previous day’s high → Focus on long setups (dBO, H8 FOL) until overextension or reversal signs appear (H8 BO 3L, First R).
- Reversal Trade: Identify reversal setups when lower timeframes show rollovers after higher timeframe weakness.
Example: Price below the previous day’s high → Look for reversal signals at the current high of day (H8 FOH, BO 3L, First R).
- The setup table shows potential setups for the specific price zone in the table automatically. See below for further details.
3. Entry Confirmation:
Confirm entries based on H8 and H4 alignment, candle closes and lower timeframe fakeouts.
- H8 and H4 should always align for a final confirmation, meaning the breach lines should be both in the back of a potential trade setup.
- M15/ 5 candle close can be seen as acceptance beyond a level or within the setup zone.
- M15/5 FOH/ FOL signals lower timeframe traps potentially indicating further confirmation.
Example Chart Reversal Trade:
Context: REV (yellow), Reversal counter trend, Month in FOL with bearish First R, Week in BO but bearishly overextended with BO 3L, Day in Fakeout high reversing bearishly.
Setup: FOH Cont HOD (red), Day in Fakeout high after BO 3L overextension, confirmed by H8 FOH high of day, First R as further confluence. Two star quality and countertrend.
Entry: H4 BD, M15 close below followed by M15 FOH.
Detailed Features and Options
1. Context and Setup table
The Context and Setup Table is the core feature of the TrendPredator PRO indicator. It delivers real-time interpretation of the multi-timeframe analysis based on an extensive underlying logic table with over 150 variations, specifically developed for this system and indicator. This logic is continuously updated and optimized to ensure accuracy and performance.
1.1. Developing Context
States for developing higher timeframe context are determined based on signals from the monthly, weekly, and daily timeframes.
- Green and Red indicate alignment and potentially interesting developing setups.
- Yellow signals a mixed or conflicting bias, suggesting caution when taking trades.
The specific states are:
- UT (yellow): Uptrend extended
- UT (green): Uptrend healthy
- REV (yellow): Reversal day counter trend
- REV (green): Reversal day mixed trend
- REV Cont (green): Reversal continuation mixed trend
- REV Cont (yellow): Reversal continuation counter trend
- REV into UT (green): Reversal day into uptrend
- REV Cont into UT (green): Reversal continuation into uptrend
- UT Pullback (yellow): Counter uptrend breakdown day
- Conflicting (yellow): Conflicting signals
- Consolidating (yellow): Consolidating sideways
- Inside (yellow): Trading inside after an inside week
- DT Pullback (yellow): Counter downtrend breakout day
- REV Cont into DT (red): Reversal continuation into downtrend
- REV into DT (red): Reversal day into downtrend
- REV Cont (yellow): Reversal continuation counter trend
- REV Cont (red): Reversal continuation mixed trend
- REV (red): Reversal day mixed trend
- REV (yellow): Reversal day countertrend
- DT (red): Downtrend healthy
- DT (yellow): Downtrend extended
Example: Uptrend
The Uptrend Context (UT, green) indicates a healthy uptrend with all timeframes aligning bullishly. In this case, the monthly is in a Fakeout Low (FOL) and currently inside the range, while the weekly and daily are both in Breakout (BO) states. This context is favorable for developing long setups in the direction of the trend.
Example: Uptrend pullback
The Uptrend Pullback Context (UT Pullback, yellow) indicates a Breakdown (BD) on the daily timeframe against a higher timeframe uptrend. In this case, the monthly is in a Fakeout Low (FOL) and currently inside its range, the weekly is in Breakout (BO) and also currently inside, while the daily is in Breakdown (BD). This context reflects a conflicting situation—potentially signaling either an early reversal back into the uptrend or, if the breakdown extends, the beginning of a possible trend change.
Example: Reversal into Uptrend
The Reversal into Uptrend Context (REV into UT, green) indicates a lower timeframe reversal aligning with a higher timeframe uptrend. In this case, the monthly is in Breakout (BO), the weekly is in Breakout (BO) and currently inside its range, while the daily is showing a bullish Fakeout Low (FOL) reversal. This context is potentially very favorable for long setups, as it signals a strong continuation of the uptrend supported across multiple timeframes.
Example: Reversal
The Bearish Reversal Context indicates a lower timeframe rollover within an ongoing higher timeframe uptrend. In this case, the monthly remains in Breakout (BO), the weekly has shifted into a Fakeout High (FOH) after three weeks of breakout longs, and the daily is already in Breakdown (BD). This context suggests a potentially favorable developing short setup, as early signs of weakness appear across timeframes.
1.2. Developing Setup
The states for specific setups are based on the context and the signals from the daily timeframe and H8, indicating that price is in the zone of alignment. The setup description refers to the state of the daily timeframe, while the suffix relates to the H8 timeframe. For example, "prev FOH Cont LHF" means that the previous day is in FOH (Fakeout High) relative to yesterday's breakout level, currently trading inside, and we are in an H8 breakdown, indicating a potential LHF (Lower High Formation) short trade if the entry confirms. The suffix HOD means that H8 is in FOH or BO (Breakout).
The specific states are:
- REV HOD (red): Reversal high of day
- REV Cont LHF (red): Reversal continuation low hanging fruit
- BO Cont LHF (green): Breakout continuation low hanging fruit
- BO Cont LOD (green): Breakout continuation low of day
- FOH Cont HOD (red): Fakeout high continuation high of day
- FOH Cont LHF ((red): Fakeout high continuation low hanging fruit
- prev BD Cont HOD (red): Previous breakdown continuation high of day
- prev BD Cont LHF (red): Previous breakdown continuation low hanging fruit
- prev FOH Cont HOD (red): Previous fakeout high continuation high of day
- prev FOH Cont LHF (red): Previous fakeout high continuation low hanging fruit
- prev FOL Cont LOD (green): Previous fakeout low continuation low of day
- prev FOL Cont LHF (green): Previous fakeout low continuation low hanging fruit
- prev BO Cont LOD (green): Previous breakout continuation low of day
- prev BO Cont LHF (green): Previous breakout continuation low hanging fruit
- FOL Cont LHF (green): Fakeout low continuation low hanging fruit
- FOL Cont LOD (green): Fakeout low continuation low of day
- BD Cont LHF (red): BD continuation low hanging fruit
- BD Cont LOD (red): Breakdown continuation low of day
- REV Cont LHF (green): Reversal continuation low hanging fruit
- REV LOD (green): Reversal low of day
- Inside: Trading inside after an inside day
Type: Indicates the situation of the indicated setup concerning:
- Trend: Following higher timeframe trend
- Mixed: Mixed higher timeframe signals
- Counter: Against higher timeframe bias
Quality: Indicates the quality of the indicated setup according to the specified logic table
No star: Very low quality
* One star: Low quality
** Two star: Medium quality
*** Three star: High quality
Example: Breakout Continuation Trend Setup
This setup highlights a healthy uptrend where the month is in a breakout, the week is in a fakeout low, and the day is in a breakout after a first green day. As the H8 breaks out to the upside, a long setup zone is triggered, presenting a breakout continuation low-hanging fruit trade. This is a trend trade in an overextended situation on the H8, with an H8 3L, resulting in an overall quality rating of one star.
Example: Fakeout Low Continuation Trend Setup
This setup shows a reversal into uptrend, with the month in a breakout, the week in a breakout, and the day in a fakeout low after breaking down the previous day and now reversing back up. As H8 breaks out to the upside, a long setup zone is triggered, presenting a previous fakeout low continuation, low-hanging fruit trade. This is a medium-quality trend trade.
Example: Reversal Setup - Mixed Trend
This setup shows a reversal setup in line with the weekly trend, with the month in a fakeout low, the week in a fakeout high, and the day in a fakeout high after breaking out earlier in the day and now reversing back down. As H8 loses the previous breakout level after 3 breakouts (with H8 3L), a short setup zone is triggered, presenting a fakeout high continuation at the high of the day. This is a high-quality trade in a mixed trend situation.
Setup Alerts:
Alerts can be activated for setups freshly triggered on the chart within your trading window.
Detailed filter logic for setup alerts:
- Setup quality: 1-3 star
- Setup type: Counter, Mixed and Trend
- Setup category: e.g. Reversal Bearish, Breakout, Previous Fakeout High
- 1D BO and First signals: 3DS, 3DL, FRD, FGD, ID
Options:
- Alerts on/ off
- Alert time window (from/ to)
- Alert filter customization
Note: To activate alerts from a script in TradingView, some settings need to be adjusted. Open the "Create Alert" dialog and select the option "Any alert() function call" in the "Condition" section. Choose "TrendPredator PRO" to ensure that alerts trigger properly from the code. Alerts can be activated for entire watchlists or individual pairs. Once activated, the alerts run in the background and notify the user whenever a setup is freshly triggered according to the filter settings.
2. Multi-Timeframe Table
Provides a real-time view of system signals, including:
Current Timeframe (Curr): Bias states.
- Breakout (green BO): Bullish after breaking above the previous high.
- Fakeout High (red FOH): Bearish after breaking above the previous high but pulling back down.
- Breakdown (red BD): Bearish after breaking below the previous low.
- Fakeout Low (green FOL): Bullish after breaking below the previous low but pulling back up.
- Inside (IS): Price trading neutral inside the previous range, taking the previous bias (color indicates the previous bias).
Previous Timeframe (Prev): Tracks last candle bias state and transitions dynamically.
- Bias for last candle: BO, FOH, BD, FOL in respective colors.
- Inside bar (yellow IS): Indicated as standalone signal.
Note: Also previous timeframes get constantly updated in real time to track the bias state in relation to the level that was hit. This means a BO can still lose the level and become a FOH, and vice versa, and a BD can still become a FOL, and vice versa. This is critical to see for example if traders that are trapped in that timeframe with a FOH or FOL are released. An inside bar stays fixed, though, since no level was hit in that timeframe.
Breakouts (BO): Breakout count 3 longs and 3 shorts.
- 3 Longs (red 3L): Bearish after three breakouts without hitting a previous low.
- 3 Shorts (green 3S): Bullish after three breakdowns without hitting a previous high.
First Countertrend Close (First): Tracks First Red or Green Day.
- First Green (G): After two consecutive red closes.
- First Red (R): After two consecutive green closes.
Options: Customizable font size and label colors.
3. Historic Highs and Lows
Displays historic highs and lows per timeframe for added context, enabling users to track sequences over time.
Timeframes: H4, H8, D, W, M
Options: Customize for timeframes shown, number of historic candles per timeframe, colors, formats, and labels.

Higher Timeframe Use Case Examples
Example Use Case: Weekly Template Analysis
The Weekly Template is a core concept in Stacey Burke’s trading style. The analysis is conducted on the daily timeframe, focusing on the higher timeframe bias and identifying overextended conditions within the week—such as multiple breakouts and peak formations signaling potential reversals.
In this example, the candles are colored by the TrendPredator FO indicator, which highlights the state of individual candles. This allows for precise evaluation of both the trend state and the developing weekly template. It is a valuable tool for thesis generation before a trading session and for backtesting purposes.
Example Use Case: High Timeframe 5-Star Setup Analysis (Stacey Burke "ain't coming back" ACB Template)
This analysis identifies high-probability trade opportunities when daily breakout or breakdown closes occur near key monthly levels mid-week, signaling overextensions and potentially large parabolic moves. The key signal to look for is a breakout or breakdown close on a Wednesday. This is useful for thesis generation before a session and also for backtesting.
In this example, the TrendPredator FO indicator colors the candles to highlight individual candle states, particularly those that close in breakout or breakdown. Additionally, an indicator is shown on the chart shading every Wednesday, making it easier to visually identify the signals.
5 Star Alerts:
Alerts can be activated for this potential 5-Star setup constellation. The alert is triggered when there is a breakout or breakdown close on a Wednesday.
Further recommendations:
- Higher timeframe context: TPO or volume profile indicators can be used to gain an even better overview.
- Late session trading: Entries later in the session, such as during the 3rd hour of the NY session, offer better analysis and follow-through on setups.
- Entry confirmation: Momentum indicators like VWAP, Supertrend, or EMA are helpful for increasing precision. Additionally, tracking lower timeframe fakeouts can provide powerful confluence. To track those the TrendPredator Fakeout Highlighter (FO), that has been specifically developed for this can be of great help:
Limitations:
Data availability using TradingView has its limitations. The indicator leverages only the real-time data available for the specific timeframe being used. This means it cannot access data from timeframes lower than the one displayed on the chart. For example, if you are on a daily chart, it cannot use H8 data. Additionally, on very low timeframes, the historical availability of data might be limited, making higher timeframe signals unreliable.
To address this, the indicator automatically hides the affected columns in these specific situations, preventing false signals.

Consecutive Close Tracker (CCT)Consecutive Close Tracker (CCT) Indicator
The Consecutive Close Tracker (CCT) is a powerful momentum and breakout detection tool designed to identify consecutive bullish and bearish closes, potential reversals, and breakout points. By tracking consecutive candle closes and plotting key levels, this indicator provides traders with visual cues to recognize trend continuations, reversals, and breakout opportunities effectively.
🔹 Key Features of CCT
1️⃣ Consecutive Move Lines (Green/Red/Yellow Lines)
Tracks three consecutive bullish or bearish closes.
If the fourth candle confirms the trend, a green line (bullish) or red line (bearish) is drawn.
If the fourth candle fails to confirm, a yellow line is drawn, signaling potential indecision.
Helps traders spot trend continuations and exhaustion points.
2️⃣ Reversal Detection Lines (Cyan & Light Red)
Identifies bullish and bearish reversals based on three higher/lower closes followed by a reversal.
A cyan line indicates a bullish reversal, while a light red line signals a bearish reversal.
Useful for traders looking for trend reversals and key turning points.
3️⃣ Breakout Line (Dynamic Resistance/Support Level)
Automatically calculates a breakout level based on the previous timeframe’s open and close.
Can be customized to use different timeframes (e.g., hourly, daily, weekly).
Acts as a dynamic resistance or support level, helping traders determine breakout opportunities.
🔍 How to Use the Indicator?
✅ 1. Spotting Trend Continuations with Consecutive Move Lines
Green Line: Three consecutive bullish closes followed by a fourth higher close.
🚀 Indicates strong buying pressure & potential uptrend continuation.
Red Line: Three consecutive bearish closes followed by a fourth lower close.
📉 Indicates strong selling pressure & potential downtrend continuation.
Yellow Line: Three consecutive closes, but the fourth candle fails to confirm.
⚠️ Signals possible indecision or trend exhaustion.
🔥 Best Strategy:
If a green line appears near support, consider long entries.
If a red line appears near resistance, consider short entries.
If a yellow line appears, wait for further confirmation before entering a trade.
✅ 2. Identifying Trend Reversals with Reversal Lines
Cyan Line: A bearish trend with three consecutive lower closes, followed by a bullish candle → Possible uptrend reversal.
Light Red Line: A bullish trend with three consecutive higher closes, followed by a bearish candle → Possible downtrend reversal.
🔥 Best Strategy:
If a cyan line appears near a major support level, look for long entry opportunities.
If a light red line appears near resistance, prepare for a potential short entry.
Use these lines in combination with candlestick patterns (e.g., bullish engulfing, pin bars) for confirmation.
✅ 3. Using the Breakout Line for Key Entry & Exit Points
The breakout line represents a key dynamic level (midpoint of the previous timeframe’s open & close).
If price breaks above the breakout line, it suggests bullish momentum → Consider long trades.
If price breaks below the breakout line, it suggests bearish momentum → Consider short trades.
🔥 Best Strategy:
Use the breakout line in combination with support & resistance levels.
When price approaches the breakout line, watch for confirmation candles before entering a trade.
The breakout line can also act as a stop-loss or take-profit level.
🎯 How to Utilize CCT Effectively?
✅ For Intraday Traders
Use the consecutive close tracker on a 5M or 15M chart to catch short-term trends.
Watch for reversal lines near major intraday support/resistance for quick scalping opportunities.
Use the breakout line from the hourly chart to identify potential trend shifts.
✅ For Swing Traders
Apply the indicator on 1H, 4H, or daily charts to track medium-term trends.
Look for green/red lines near key Fibonacci retracement or pivot levels.
Use reversal lines to detect early trend reversals before bigger moves occur.
✅ For Breakout Traders
Focus on the breakout line on higher timeframes (e.g., 1H, 4H, Daily) to identify strong momentum shifts.
If price crosses the breakout line with strong volume, enter trades with trend confirmation.
Place stop-loss just below the breakout level for controlled risk management.
🏆 Final Thoughts
The Consecutive Close Tracker (CCT) is a powerful momentum and reversal indicator that helps traders:
✅ Identify strong trend continuations (green/red lines).
✅ Detect early reversal points (cyan/light red lines).
✅ Use a dynamic breakout line for better trade entries & exits.

Impulse MACD enhancedThis indicator is designed to provide robust trade entry signals by combining multiple technical filters. Here’s a summary of its key components:
Impulse MACD Calculation:
Uses a Zero-Lag EMA (ZLEMA) based approach to generate a momentum indicator (with a signal line and histogram) that identifies shifts in market momentum.
Simulated Higher Timeframe (HTF) Trend Filter:
Computes an SMA over a multiplied period to simulate a higher timeframe trend. It requires the price to be in line with this broader trend before signaling an entry.
RSI Filter:
Ensures that for bullish entries the RSI is above a set threshold (indicating momentum) and for bearish entries it’s below a threshold.
ADX Filter:
Uses a manually calculated ADX to confirm that the market is in a strong trend (ADX > 30) to reduce false signals in weakly trending or sideways markets.
Volume Filter:
Compares the current volume to a 20‑bar SMA of volume, requiring volume to be significantly higher (by a user-defined percentage) to confirm the strength of the move.
VWAP Confirmation:
Uses the Volume-Weighted Average Price as an extra layer of confirmation: bullish signals require the price to be above VWAP, bearish signals below.
Optional Long-Term & Short-Term MA Filters:
These filters can be enabled to ensure the price is trading above (or below) longer-term and shorter-term moving averages, further aligning the trade with the prevailing trend.
ATR Volatility Filter:
Checks that volatility (as measured by the ATR relative to price) is below a maximum threshold, which helps avoid taking trades in overly volatile conditions.
Price Action Filter:
Ensures that for a bullish signal the current close is above the highest high over a specified lookback period (and vice versa for bearish), indicating a clear breakout.
Signal Throttling:
Signals are limited to one every 10 bars to prevent excessive trading.
When all these conditions are met, the indicator outputs an entry signal for either a bullish or bearish trade.
This multi-filter approach aims to increase win rate by reducing false signals and aligning trades with strong, confirmed trends while filtering out noise.
ICT Unicorn Breaker + FVG Alert📌 How to Use the ICT Breaker Block Indicator
The ICT Breaker Block Indicator helps you spot potential trade opportunities by setting up alerts. Here’s how to get started:
1️⃣ Draw Your Breaker Block
First, find a Bullish or Bearish Breaker Block on your chart.
Bullish Breaker Block: This forms when a bearish order block doesn't hold, and price breaks through to the upside. This indicates a shift from a bearish to a bullish market, with the previous bearish order block now acting as support.
Bearish Breaker Block: This forms when a bullish order block fails to hold, and price breaks through to the downside. This indicates a shift from a bullish to a bearish market, with the previous bullish order block now acting as resistance.
Use the drawing tool to mark the Breaker Block on your chart.
2️⃣ Set Your Entry & Stop Levels
Entry: For a bullish trade, enter at the top of the Breaker Block; for a bearish trade, enter at the bottom.
Stop Loss: Place this on the opposite side of the Breaker Block.
3️⃣ Choose Your Trade Direction
Bullish setup: Choose Buy for a bullish Breaker Block (upward break).
Bearish setup: Choose Sell for a bearish Breaker Block (downward break).
4️⃣ Create Two Alerts
You’ll need to set up the following two alerts in order:
✅ Unicorn Alert (Once Per Bar Close): Set this alert first for your selected Breaker Block (Bullish or Bearish). It triggers when price closes above the entry level (for a bullish setup) or below the entry level (for a bearish setup), and checks for bullish or bearish unmitigated Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) that overlap within the Breaker Block.
✅ Terminus Alert (Triggered Once): Once the Unicorn alert has been triggered, change the alert to a Terminus Alert. This alert is activated once the TP (terminus) is hit before the limit order fills from the Unicorn alert signal.
5️⃣ Automate with Webhook (Optional)
Want to automate your trades? Simply enter your Trader Post Webhook URL in the alert settings to send signals directly to your trading bot! 🤖
Crypto Scanner v4This guide explains a version 6 Pine Script that scans a user-provided list of cryptocurrency tokens to identify high probability tradable opportunities using several technical indicators. The script combines trend, momentum, and volume-based analyses to generate potential buying or selling signals, and it displays the results in a neatly formatted table with alerts for trading setups. Below is a detailed walkthrough of the script’s design, how traders can interpret its outputs, and recommendations for optimizing indicator inputs across different timeframes.
## Overview and Key Components
The script is designed to help traders assess multiple tokens by calculating several indicators for each one. The key components include:
- **Input Settings:**
- A comma-separated list of symbols to scan.
- Adjustable parameters for technical indicators such as ADX, RSI, MFI, and a custom Wave Trend indicator.
- Options to enable alerts and set update frequencies.
- **Indicator Calculations:**
- **ADX (Average Directional Index):** Measures trend strength. A value above the provided threshold indicates a strong trend, which is essential for validating momentum before entering a trade.
- **RSI (Relative Strength Index):** Helps determine overbought or oversold conditions. When the RSI is below the oversold level, it may present a buying opportunity, while an overbought condition (not explicitly part of this setup) could suggest selling.
- **MFI (Money Flow Index):** Similar in concept to RSI but incorporates volume, thus assessing buying and selling pressure. Values below the designated oversold threshold indicate potential undervaluation.
- **Wave Trend:** A custom indicator that calculates two components (WT1 and WT2); a crossover where WT1 moves from below to above WT2 (particularly near oversold levels) may signal a reversal and a potential entry point.
- **Scanning and Trading Zone:**
- The script identifies a *bullish setup* when the following conditions are met for a token:
- ADX exceeds the threshold (strong trend).
- Both RSI and MFI are below their oversold levels (indicating potential buying opportunities).
- A Wave Trend crossover confirms near-term reversal dynamics.
- A *trading zone* condition is also defined by specific ranges for ADX, RSI, MFI, and a limited difference between WT1 and WT2. This zone suggests that the token might be in a consolidation phase where even small moves may be significant.
- **Alerts and Table Reporting:**
- A table is generated, with each row corresponding to a token. The table contains columns for the symbol, ADX, RSI, MFI, WT1, WT2, and the trading zone status.
- Visual cues—such as different background colors—highlight tokens with a bullish setup or that are within the trading zone.
- Alerts are issued based on the detection of a bullish setup or entry into a trading zone. These alerts are limited per bar to avoid flooding the trader with notifications.
## How to Interpret the Indicator Outputs
Traders should use the indicator values as guidance, verifying them against their own analysis before making any trading decision. Here’s how to assess each output:
- **ADX:**
- **High values (above threshold):** Indicate strong trends. If other indicators confirm an oversold condition, a trader may consider a long position for a corrective reversal.
- **Low values:** Suggest that the market is not trending strongly, and caution should be taken when considering entry.
- **RSI and MFI:**
- **Below oversold levels:** These conditions are traditionally seen as signals that an asset is undervalued, potentially triggering a bounce.
- **Above typical resistance levels (not explicitly used here):** Would normally caution a trader against entering a long position.
- **Wave Trend (WT1 and WT2):**
- A crossover where WT1 moves upward above WT2 in an oversold environment can signal the beginning of a recovery or reversal, thereby reinforcing buy signals.
- **Trading Zone:**
- Being “in zone” means that the asset’s current values for ADX, RSI, MFI, and the closeness of the Wave Trend lines indicate a period of consolidation. This scenario might be suitable for both short-term scalping or as an early exit indicator, depending on further market analysis.
## Timeframe Optimization Input Table
Traders can optimize indicator inputs depending on the timeframe they use. The following table provides a set of recommended input values for various timeframes. These values are suggestions and should be adjusted based on market conditions and individual trading styles.
Timeframe ADX RSI MFI ADX RSI MFI WT Channel WT Average
5-min 10 10 10 20 30 20 7 15
15-min 12 12 12 22 30 20 9 18
1-hour 14 14 14 25 30 20 10 21
4-hour 16 16 16 27 30 20 12 24
1-day 18 18 18 30 30 20 14 28
Adjust these parameters directly in the script’s input settings to match the selected timeframe. For shorter timeframes (e.g., 5-min or 15-min), the shorter lengths help filter high-frequency noise. For longer timeframes (e.g., 1-day), longer input values may reduce false signals and capture more significant trends.
## Best Practices and Usage Tips
- **Token Limit:**
- Limit the number of tokens scanned to 10 per query line. If you need to scan more tokens, initiate a new query line. This helps manage screen real estate and ensures the table remains legible.
- **Confirming Signals:**
- Use this script as a starting point for identifying high potential trades. Each indicator’s output should be used to confirm your trading decision. Always cross-reference with additional technical analysis tools or market context.
- **Regular Review:**
- Since the script updates the table every few bars (as defined by the update frequency), review the table and alerts regularly. Market conditions change rapidly, so timely decisions are crucial.
## Conclusion
This Pine Script provides a comprehensive approach for scanning multiple cryptocurrencies using a combination of trend strength (ADX), momentum (RSI and MFI), and reversal signals (Wave Trend). By using the provided recommendation table for different timeframes and limiting the tokens to 20 per query line (with a maximum of four query lines), traders can streamline their scanning process and more effectively identify high probability tradable tokens. Ultimately, the outputs should be critically evaluated and combined with additional market research before executing any trades.
Candlesticks Not Touching EMA 3 & EMA 5 ScannerCandlesticks Not Touching EMA 3 & EMA 5 Scanner
Short Title: EMA Scanner
Overview
This indicator scans for candlesticks that do not touch the EMA 3 and EMA 5, highlighting potential trading opportunities where price action is significantly distanced from these moving averages. It identifies momentum-based entries and helps traders spot strong trends.
How It Works
It checks if the candle's high and low are completely above or below both EMAs (3 & 5).
It ensures that the distance between the candle and EMA 5 is at least a user-defined multiple of the candle range.
When a valid candle is detected, a triangle marker appears below (for long trades) or above (for short trades).
Trade Execution Strategy
Entry:
Long Entry → Break of the candle’s high
Short Entry → Break of the candle’s low
Stop Loss:
Long SL → Low of the same candle
Short SL → High of the same candle
Target: EMA 5
Additional Features
✅ Plots EMA 3 (Blue) and EMA 5 (Red) for reference
✅ Marks potential long and short trades with arrows
✅ Detects & plots when Target or Stop Loss is hit
✅ Alerts for valid signals, target hits, and stop loss hits
Best Use Cases

ORB with 100 EMAORB Trading Strategy for FX Pairs on the 30-Minute Time Frame
Overview
This Opening Range Breakout (ORB) strategy is designed for trading FX pairs on the 30-minute time frame. The strategy is structured to take advantage of price momentum while aligning trades with the overall trend using the 100-period Exponential Moving Average (100EMA). The primary objective is to enter trades when price breaks and closes above or below the Opening Range (OR), with additional confirmation from a retest of the OR level if the initial entry is missed.
Strategy Rules
1. Defining the Opening Range (OR)
- The OR is determined by the high and low of the first 30-minute candle after market open.
- This range acts as the key level for breakout trading.
2. Trend Confirmation Using the 100EMA
- The 100EMA serves as a filter to determine trade direction:
- Buy Setup: Only take buy trades when the OR is above the 100EMA.
- Sell Setup: Only take sell trades when the OR is below the 100EMA.
3. Entry Criteria
- Buy Trade: Enter a long position when a candle breaks and closes above the OR high, confirming the breakout.
- Sell Trade: Enter a short position when a candle breaks and closes below the OR low, confirming the breakout.
- Retest Entry: If the initial entry is missed, wait for a price retest of the OR level for a secondary entry opportunity.
4. Risk-to-Reward Ratio (R2R)
- The goal is to target a 1:1 Risk-to-Reward (R2R) ratio.
- Stop-loss placement:
- Buy Trade: Place stop-loss just below the OR low.
- Sell Trade: Place stop-loss just above the OR high.
- Take profit at a distance equal to the stop-loss for a 1:1 R2R.
5. Risk Management
- Risk per trade should be based on personal risk tolerance.
- Adjust lot sizes accordingly to maintain a controlled risk percentage of account balance.
- Avoid over-leveraging, and consider moving stop-loss to breakeven if the price moves favourably.
Additional Considerations
- Avoid trading during major news events that may cause high volatility and unpredictable price movements.
- Monitor market conditions to ensure breakout confirmation with strong momentum rather than false breakouts.
- Use additional confluences such as candlestick patterns, support/resistance zones, or volume analysis for stronger trade validation.
This ORB strategy is designed to provide structured trade opportunities by combining breakout momentum with trend confirmation via the 100EMA. The strategy is straightforward, allowing traders to capitalise on clear breakout movements while implementing effective risk management practices. While the 1:1 R2R target provides a balanced approach, traders should always adapt their risk tolerance and market conditions to optimise trade performance.
By following these rules and maintaining discipline, traders can use this strategy effectively across various FX pairs on the 30-minute time frame.
Daily COC Strategy with SHERLOCK WAVESThis indicator implements a unique trading strategy known as the "Daily COC (Candle Over Candle) Strategy" enhanced with "SHERLOCK WAVES" for pattern recognition. It's designed for traders looking to capitalize on specific candlestick formations with a negative risk-reward ratio, with the aim of achieving a high win rate (over 70%) through numerous trading opportunities, despite each trade having a higher risk relative to the reward.
Key Features:
Pattern Recognition: Identifies a setup based on three consecutive candles - a red candle followed by a shooting star, then an entry candle that does not break below the shooting star's low.
Negative Risk/Reward Trade Selection: Focuses on entries where the potential stop loss is greater than the take profit, banking on a high win rate to offset the individual trade's negative risk-reward ratio.
Visual Signals:
Green Label: Marks potential entry points at the high of the candle before the entry.
Green Dot: Indicates a winning trade closure.
Red Dot: Signals a losing trade closure.
Blue Circle: Warns when the current candle is within 2% of breaking above the previous candle's high, suggesting a potential setup is developing.
Green Circle: Plots the take profit level.
Red Circle: Plots the stop loss level.
Dynamic Statistics: A live updating label showing the number of trades, wins, losses, open trades, current account balance, and win percentage.
Customizable Parameters:
Risk % per Trade: Adjust the percentage of your account balance you're willing to risk on each trade.
Initial Account Balance: Set your starting balance for tracking performance.
Start Date for Strategy: Define when the strategy should start calculating from, allowing for backtesting.
Alerts:
An alert condition is set for when a potential trade setup is developing, helping traders prepare for entries.
Usage Tips:
This strategy is predicated on the idea that a high win rate can compensate for the negative risk-reward ratio of individual trades. It might not suit all market conditions or traders' risk profiles.
Use this strategy in conjunction with other analysis methods to validate trade setups.
Note: Always backtest thoroughly before applying to live markets. Consider this tool as part of a broader trading strategy, not a standalone solution. Monitor your win rate and adjust your risk management accordingly to ensure the strategy remains profitable over time.
This description now correctly explains the purpose behind the negative risk-reward ratio in the context of your trading strategy.
4 EMA & MACDThe indicator that combines Moving Average and MACD into one is very useful for providing a more complete picture of the market. Here's how it works:
Moving Average (MA): This is a trend indicator that smooths the price to show the dominant trend direction. MA helps traders determine whether the market is in an uptrend, downtrend, or sideways. For example, if the price is above the MA, it might indicate an uptrend, while if the price is below the MA, it might indicate a downtrend.
MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence): MACD measures market momentum and can provide entry and exit signals based on the difference between two moving averages (fast MA and slow MA). A buy signal occurs when the MACD crosses above the signal line, and a sell signal occurs when the MACD crosses below the signal line.
Combining both gives traders a more complete view:
MA provides an overview of the larger trend direction.
MACD helps identify moments when momentum supports a position for entering or exiting.
Common usage:
Entry: If the price is above the Moving Average (uptrend) and the MACD shows a buy signal (for example, MACD crossing above the signal line), it can be a signal to buy.
Exit: If the price starts moving below the MA and the MACD shows a sell signal, it can be a signal to sell or exit the position.
There is an indicator called MACD + Moving Average Cross, which combines both elements, providing stronger signals and making it easier to follow the market.
Fibonacci Extension Strt StrategyCore Logic and Steps:
Weekly Trend Identification:
Find the last significant Higher High (HH) and Lower Low (LL) or vice-versa on the Weekly timeframe.
Determine if it's an uptrend (HH followed by LL) or a downtrend (LL followed by HH).
Plot a Fibonacci Extension (or Retracement in reverse order) from the swing point determined to the other significant swing point.
Weekly Retracement Levels:
Display horizontal lines at the 0.236, 0.382, and 0.5 Fibonacci levels from the weekly extension.
Monitor price action on these levels.
Daily Confirmation:
When price hits the Fib levels, examine the Daily chart.
Look for a rejection wick (indicating the pull back is ending) on the identified weekly retracement levels.
Confirm that the price is indeed starting to continue in the direction of the original weekly trend.
Four-Hour Entry:
On the 4H timeframe, plot a new Fib Extension in the opposite direction of the weekly.
If it's an uptrend, the Fib is plotted from last swing low to its swing high. If the weekly trend was bearish the Fib will be plotted from last swing high to the swing low.
Generate an entry when price breaks the high of that candle.
Trade Management:
Entry is on the breakout of the current candle.
Stop Loss: Place the stop loss below the wick of the breakout candle.
Take Profit 1: Close 50% of the position at the 0.5 Fibonacci level. Move the stop loss to breakeven on this position.
Take Profit 2: Close another 25% of the position at the 0.236 Fib level.
Trailing Take Profit: Keep the last 25% open, using a trailing stop loss. (You'll need to define the logic for the trailing stop, e.g., trailing stop using the last high/low)

ENIGMA Signals with Retests Select higher Time FrameENIGMA Signals with Retests – Script Description
The "ENIGMA Signals with Retests" script is a unique indicator designed for traders who prefer precision trading based on price action retests of key levels derived from higher timeframes. This tool is ideal for those employing multi-timeframe analysis strategies, helping them detect high-probability trade entries when the price interacts with significant support and resistance levels.
What Does This Script Do?
This indicator identifies key levels from a higher timeframe selected by the user (e.g., 4-hour or daily), then tracks price action on lower timeframes to provide actionable buy and sell signals when the price retests these levels. It visually plots the key levels on the chart and triggers alerts for potential trade opportunities when conditions are met.
How It Works
Key Level Detection:
The script uses custom functions to detect recent swing highs and swing lows on the selected higher timeframe (such as 4H or Daily). These levels represent potential areas of support and resistance where price reactions are likely to occur.
Multi-Timeframe Analysis:
The indicator leverages the request.security() function to retrieve price data from the user-defined higher timeframe and plots horizontal lines on the chart for the most recent swing highs and lows.
Retest-Based Signals:
Once the key levels are plotted, the script continuously monitors the price on the lower timeframe:
A Buy Signal is triggered when the price closes below a key high level and then moves back above it, indicating a potential bullish retest.
A Sell Signal is triggered when the price closes above a key low level and then moves back below it, indicating a potential bearish retest.
These retest signals are displayed as green and red arrows on the chart, helping traders identify optimal entry points.
Alerts for Retests:
The script includes built-in alert conditions that notify traders when a valid retest signal occurs. This allows traders to react promptly without constantly monitoring the chart.
How to Use the Script
Select Your Key Timeframe:
From the input settings, choose a higher timeframe that suits your trading style (e.g., 4H for intraday trading or Daily for swing trading).
Adjust Visual Preferences:
Customize the line style (solid, dashed, or dotted) and length of the plotted levels.
Toggle labels for the levels on or off as per your preference.
Trade Execution:
Once a retest signal appears on the lower timeframe, consider entering a trade in the direction of the signal. The buy signal suggests a potential long entry, while the sell signal indicates a potential short entry.
Set Alerts:
Use the alert conditions provided to get notified whenever a valid retest occurs. This helps in reducing screen time and improving trading efficiency.
Underlying Concepts
This script is grounded in the principles of support and resistance, retests, and breakout trading. By focusing on multi-timeframe key levels, it aligns with widely used trading concepts like:
Breakout and Retest: Entering trades after a confirmed breakout and successful retest of a significant level.
Swing Highs and Lows: Recognizing swing points to identify strong price reaction zones.
Multi-Timeframe Confluence: Enhancing trade probability by ensuring that the signals on lower timeframes correspond with key levels from higher timeframes.
Why This Script Is Unique
Unlike many generic trend-following or scalping indicators, "ENIGMA Signals with Retests" offers:
Precision Signals: It only provides signals when specific retest conditions are met, reducing false signals and noise.
Multi-Timeframe Customization: Users can tailor the higher timeframe to their strategy, making it versatile for various trading styles.
Alert Functionality: Alerts are integrated, allowing traders to stay updated without constantly monitoring the charts.
This script is perfect for traders looking for a systematic way to trade retests of key levels across multiple timeframes. Whether you're a scalper, day trader, or swing trader, "ENIGMA Signals with Retests" can help improve your precision and timing in the market.
4H CRT (1AM and 5AM)This TradingView script is designed to assist traders in implementing the "4-Hour Candle Ranges Theory Strategy (CRT)" by identifying key levels and setups based on the 1am and 4am (5am) 4-hour candles. This strategy is particularly effective for trading high-volatility assets such as Gold, EUR/USD, NAS100, US30, and S&P500, with US30 showing a notably high win rate. Here's how the strategy works:
Key Features:
1. Marking 1am and 4am 4-Hour Candle Ranges
- The script highlights the high and low of the 1am 4-hour candle.
- It visually tracks whether the high or low of the 1am candle is taken out by the subsequent 4-hour candle (5am).
2. Entry Setup Rules
- Primary Setup: Wait for the high or low of the 1am candle to be taken out by the 5am candle. Once this sweep occurs, wait for a Market Structure Shift (MSS) on the lower time frame (15min) to confirm your entry.
- Secondary Setup: If the 5am candle fails to take out the high or low of the 1am candle, the setup focuses on the levels formed by the 5am candle.
3. Trade Execution on 15-Minute Timeframe
- The script supports a lower time frame (15min) view to identify MSS and fine-tune entries.
4. Rinse and Repeat
- This process can be applied daily for consistent opportunities across the specified assets.
Advantages:
- Provides clear visual markers for key levels based on the 4-hour candles.
- Automates level plotting, saving traders time and reducing manual errors.
- Integrates well with the 15-minute timeframe for precise entry triggers.
- Optimized for popular trading instruments, especially US30 for a higher probability of success.
This script simplifies the application of CRT by automating the process of identifying and marking critical levels, enabling traders to focus on executing high-probability setups effectively.

Dabel MS + FVGThis script is designed to assist traders by identifying market structures, imbalances, and potential trade opportunities using Break of Structure (BOS) and Market Structure Shifts (MSS). It visually highlights imbalances in price action, key pivots, and market structure changes, providing actionable information for making trading decisions.
Key features:
Imbalances Detection: Highlights bullish and bearish price gaps (Fair Value Gaps) using colored boxes. Users can choose the line style (solid, dashed, or dotted) for imbalance midlines.
Market Structure Analysis: Tracks pivot highs and lows to identify BOS and MSS in two separate market structures with adjustable pivot strengths.
Customizable Visualization: Allows users to choose line styles, colors, and display options for both imbalances and market structures.
Alerts: Alerts traders when BOS or MSS occur, helping to monitor the market effectively.
Trading Strategy
Imbalance Trading:
Imbalances (gaps) represent areas where supply or demand was left unfilled. These gaps often act as magnet zones where the price revisits to fill.
Bullish Imbalance: Look for buying opportunities when price enters a green imbalance zone.
Bearish Imbalance: Look for selling opportunities when price enters a red imbalance zone.
Use the midline of the imbalance box as a key reference point for potential reversals.
Break of Structure (BOS) and Market Structure Shift (MSS):
BOS: Indicates a continuation of the existing trend. For example:
Bullish BOS: Look for continuation in the uptrend after a high is broken.
Bearish BOS: Look for continuation in the downtrend after a low is broken.
MSS: Suggests a potential reversal in market structure. For example:
Bullish MSS: Indicates a possible shift from a bearish to bullish market.
Bearish MSS: Indicates a potential shift from a bullish to bearish market.
Multiple Market Structures:
This script provide two sets of market structures, allowing traders to compare short-term and long-term trends.
Adjust the pivot strength to suit your trading style (lower for intraday trading, higher for swing or positional trading).
Entry and Exit:
Entry: Look for entries near imbalances or after confirmed BOS/MSS in line with the overall trend.
Exit: Place stop-loss below/above recent pivots and take profit at nearby support/resistance or imbalance zones.
For New Traders
Focus on Basics: Understand what BOS and MSS mean and how they signal trend direction or reversals.
Use Alerts: Rely on the script's alert system to catch important moments without staring at charts all day.
Start Small: Test this strategy on a demo account before using it live. You can understand it more with practice.
Range Channel by Atilla YurtsevenThis script creates a dynamic channel around a user-selected moving average (MA). It calculates the relative difference between price and the MA, then finds the average of the positive differences and the negative differences separately. Using these averages, it plots upper and lower bands around the MA as well as a histogram-like oscillator to show when price moves above or below the average thresholds.
How It Works
Moving Average Selection
The indicator allows you to choose among multiple MA types (SMA, EMA, WMA, Linear Regression, etc.). Depending on your preference, it calculates the chosen MA for the selected lookback period.
Relative Difference Calculation
It then computes the percentage difference between the source (typically the closing price) and the MA. (diff = (src / ma - 1) * 100)
Positive & Negative Averages
- Positive differences are averaged and represent how far the price typically moves above the MA.
- Negative differences are similarly averaged for when price moves below the MA.
Range Channel & Oscillator
- The channel is plotted around the MA using the average positive and negative differences (Upper Edge and Lower Edge).
- The “Untrended” histogram plots the difference (diff). Green bars occur when price is above the MA on average, and red bars when below. Two additional lines mark the upper and lower average thresholds on this histogram.
How to Use
Identify Overbought/Oversold Zones: The upper edge can serve as a dynamic overbought level, while the lower edge can suggest potential oversold conditions. When the histogram approaches or crosses these levels, it may signal price extremes relative to its average movement.
Trend Confirmation: Compare price action relative to the channel. If price and the histogram consistently remain above the MA and upper threshold, it could indicate a stronger bullish trend. If they remain below, it might signal a prolonged bearish trend.
Entry/Exit Timings:
- Entry: Traders can look for moments when price breaks back inside the channel from an extreme, anticipating a mean reversion.
- Exit: Watching how price interacts with these dynamic edges can help define stop-loss or take-profit points.
Because these thresholds adapt over time based on actual price behavior, they can be more responsive than fixed-percentage bands. However, like all indicators, it’s most effective when used in conjunction with other technical and fundamental tools.
