🔶 USAGE
This script allows users with an understanding of The Strat to quickly highlight elements such as candle numbers, pivot machine guns, and custom combos. The usage for these concepts is given in the sub-sections below.
🔹 Candle Numbers
The Strat assigns a number to individual candles, this number is determined by the current candle position relative to the precedent candle, these include:
Number 1 - Inside bar, occurs when the previous candle range engulfs the current one.
Number 2 Up - Upside Directional Bar, occurs when the current price high breaks the previous high while the current low is lower than the previous high.
Number 2 Down - Downside Directional Bar, occurs when the current price low breaks the previous low while the current high is higher than the previous low.
Number 3 - Outside bar, occurs when the current candle range engulfs the previous one.
The script can highlight the number of a candle by using labels but can also style candles by depending on the candle number. Inside bars (1) only have their candle wick highlighted, directional bars (2) (-2) only have their candle body highlighted. Outside bars have their candle range highlighted.
Note that downside directional bars are highlighted with the number -2.
Users can see the total amount of times a specific candle number is detected on the historical data on the dashboard available within the settings, as well as the number of times a candle number is detected relative to the total amount of detected candle numbers expressed as a percentage.
It is also possible to see the current candle numbers returned by multiple timeframes on the dashboard.
🔹 Searching For Custom Combos
Combos are made of a sequence of two or more candle numbers. These combos can highlight multiple reversals/continuation scenarios. Various common combos are documented by The Strat community.
This script allows users to search for custom combos by entering them on the Combo user setting field.
When a user combo is found, it is highlighted on the chart as a box highlighting the combo range.
🔹 Pivot Combos
It can be of interest to a user to display the combo associated with a pivot high/low. This script will highlight the location of pivot points on the chart and display its associated combo by default. These are based on the Pivot Combo lookback and not displayed in real-time.
Users can see on the dashboard the combos associated with a pivot high/low, these are ranked by frequency.
🔹 Pivot Machine Gun (PMG)
Pivot Machine Guns (PMG)s describe the scenario where a single price variation breaks the value of multiple past successive higher lows/lower highs. This can highlight a self-exciting behavior, where even more past successive higher lows/lower highs get broken.
Users can select the minimum sequence length of successive higher lows/lower highs required for a PMG to be detected, as well the amount of these successive higher lows/lower highs that must be broken.

Session candles & reversals / quantifytools— Overview
Like traditional candles, session based candles are a visualization of open, high, low and close values, but based on session time periods instead of typical timeframes such as daily or weekly. Session candles are formed by fetching price at session start (open), highest price during session (high), lowest price during session (low) and price at session end (close). On top of candles, session based moving average is formed and session reversals detected. Session reversals are also backtested, using win rate and magnitude metrics to better understand what to expect from session reversals and which ones have historically performed the best.
By default, following session time periods are used:
Session #1: London (08:00 - 17:00, UTC)
Session #2: New York (13:00 - 22:00, UTC)
Session #3: Sydney (21:00 - 06:00, UTC)
Session #4: Tokyo (00:00 - 09:00, UTC)
Session time periods can be changed via input menu.
— Reversals
Session reversals are patterns that show a rapid change in direction during session. These formations are more familiarly known as wicks or engulfing candles. Following criteria must be met to qualify as a session reversal:
Wick up:
Lower high, lower low, close >= 65% of session range (0% being the very low, 100% being the very high) and open >= 40% of session range.
Wick down:
Higher high, higher low, close <= 35% of session range and open <= 60% of session range.
Engulfing up:
Higher high, lower low, close >= 65% of session range.
Engulfing down:
Higher high, lower low, close <= 35% of session range.
Session reversals are always based on prior corresponding session , e.g. to qualify as a NY session engulfing up, NY session must have a higher high and lower low relative to prior NY session , not just any session that has taken place in between. Session reversals should be viewed the same way wicks/engulfing formations are viewed on traditional timeframe based candles. Essentially, wick reversals (light green/red labels) tell you most of the motion during session was reversed. Engulfing reversals (dark green/red labels) on the other hand tell you all of the motion was reversed and new direction set.
— Backtesting
Session reversals are backtested using win rate and magnitude metrics. A session reversal is considered successful when next corresponding session closes higher/lower than session reversal close . Win rate is formed by dividing successful session reversal count with total reversal count, e.g. 5 successful reversals up / 10 reversals up total = 50% win rate. Win rate tells us what are the odds (historically) of session reversal producing a clean supporting move that was persistent enough to close that way too.
When a session reversal is successful, its magnitude is measured using percentage increase/decrease from session reversal close to next corresponding session high/low . If NY session closes higher than prior NY session that was a reversal up, the percentage increase from prior session close (reversal close) to current session high is measured. If NY session closes lower than prior NY session that was a reversal down, the percentage decrease from prior session close to current session low is measured.
Average magnitude is formed by dividing all percentage increases/decreases with total reversal count, e.g. 10 total reversals up with 1% increase each -> 10% net increase from all reversals -> 10% total increase / 10 total reversals up = 1% average magnitude. Magnitude metric supports win rate by indicating the depth of successful session reversal moves.
To better understand the backtesting calculations and more importantly to verify their validity, backtesting visuals for each session can be plotted on the chart:
All backtesting results are shown in the backtesting panel on top right corner, with highest win rates and magnitude metrics for both reversals up and down marked separately. Note that past performance is not a guarantee of future performance and session reversals as they are should not be viewed as a complete strategy for long/short plays. Always make sure reversal count is sufficient to draw reliable conclusions of performance.
— Session moving average
Users can form a session based moving average with their preferred smoothing method (SMA , EMA , HMA , WMA , RMA) and length, as well as choose which sessions to include in the moving average. For example, a moving average based on New York and Tokyo sessions can be formed, leaving London and Sydney completely out of the calculation.
— Visuals
By default, script hides your candles/bars, although in the case of candles borders will still be visible. Switching to bars/line will make your regular chart visuals 100% hidden. This setting can be turned off via input menu. As some sessions overlap, each session candle can be separately offsetted forward, clearing the overlaps. Users can also choose which session candles to show/hide.
Session periods can be highlighted on the chart as a background color, applicable to only session candles that are activated. By default, session reversals are referred to as L (London), N (New York), S (Sydney) and T (Tokyo) in both reversal labels and backtesting table. By toggling on "Numerize sessions", these will be replaced with 1, 2, 3 and 4. This will be helpful when using a custom session that isn't any of the above.
Visual settings example:
Session candles are plotted in two formats, using boxes and lines as well as plotcandle() function. Session candles constructed using boxes and lines will be clear and much easier on the eyes, but will apply only to first 500 bars due to Tradingview related limitations. Rest of the session candles go back indefinitely, but won't be as clean:
All colors can be customized via input menu.
— Timeframe & session time period considerations
As a rule of thumb, session candles should be used on timeframes at or below 1H, as higher timeframes might not match with session period start/end, leading to incorrect plots. Using 1 hour timeframe will bring optimal results as greatest amount historical data is available without sacrificing accuracy of OHLC values. If you are using a custom session that is not based on hourly period (e.g. 08:00 - 15:00 vs. 08.00 - 15.15) make sure you are using a timeframe that allows correct plots.
Session time periods applied by default are rough estimates and might be out of bounds on some charts, like NYSE listed equities. This is rarely a problem on assets that have extensive trading hours, like futures or cryptocurrency. If a session is out of bounds (asset isn't traded during the set session time period) the script won't plot given session candle and its backtesting metrics will be NA. This can be fixed by changing the session time periods to match with given asset trading hours, although you will have to consider whether or not this defeats the purpose of having candles based on sessions.
— Practical guide
Whether based on traditional timeframes or sessions, reversals should always be considered as only one piece of evidence of price turning. Never react to them without considering other factors that might support the thesis, such as levels and multi-timeframe analysis. In short, same basic charting principles apply with session candles that apply with normal candles. Use discretion.
Example #1 : Focusing efforts on session reversals at distinct support/resistance levels
A reversal against a level holds more value than a reversal by itself, as you know it's a placement where liquidity can be expected. A reversal serves as a confirming reaction for this expectation.
Example #2 : Focusing efforts on highest performing reversals and avoiding poorly performing ones
As you have data backed evidence of session reversal performance, it makes sense to focus your efforts on the ones that perform best. If some session reversal is clearly performing poorly, you would want to avoid it, since there's nothing backing up its validity.
Example #3 : Reversal clusters
Two is better than one, three is better than two and so on. If there are rapid changes in direction within multiple sessions consecutively, there's heavier evidence of a dynamic shift in price. In such case, it makes sense to hold more confidence in price halting/turning.

This script is based on several trend indicators.
* ICHIMOKU (KINKO HYO)
* DMI (Directional Movement Index)
* SUPERTREND ICHIMOKU + SUPERTREND DMI
* DONCHIAN CANAL Optimized with Colored Bars
* HMA Hull
* Fair Value GAP
* VOLUME/ MA Volume
* PRICE / MA Price
* HHLL BOXES
All these indications are visible simultaneously on a single graph. A data table summarizes all the important information to make a good trade decision.
ICHIMOKU Indicator:
The ICHIMOKU indicator is visualized in the traditional way.
ICHIMOKU standard setting values are respected but modifiable. (Traditional defaults = .
An oriented visual symbol, near the last value, indicates the progression (Ascending, Descending or neutral) of the TENKAN-SEN and the KIJUN-SEN as well as the period used.
The CLOUD (KUMO) and the CHIKOU-SPAN are present and are essential for the complete analysis of the ICHIMOKU.
At the top of the graph are visually represented the crossings of the TENKAN and the KIJUN.
Vertical lines, accompanied by labels, make it possible to quickly visualize the particularities of the ICHIMOKU.
A line displays the current bar.
A line visualizes the end of the CLOUD (KUMO) which is shifted 25 bars into the future.
A line visualizes the end of the chikou-span, which is shifted 25 bars in the past.
DIRECTIONAL MOVEMENT INDEX (DMI) : Treated conventionally : DI+, DI-, ADX and associated with a SUPERTREND DMI.
A visual symbol at the bottom of the graph indicates DI+ and DI- crossings
A line of oriented and colored symbols (DMI Line) at the top of the chart indicates the direction and strength of the trend.
SUPERTREND ICHIMOKU + SUPERTREND DMI :
Trend following by SUPERTREND calculation.
DONCHIAN CHANNEL: Treated conventionally. (And optimized by colored bars when overshooting either up or down.
The lines, high and low of the last values of the channel are represented to quickly visualize the level of the RANGE.
SUPERTREND HMA (HULL) Treated conventionally.
The HMA line visually indicates, according to color and direction, the market trend.
A visual symbol at the bottom of the chart indicates opportunities to sell and buy.
VOLUME:
Calculation of the MOBILE AVERAGE of the volume with comparison of the volume compared to the moving average of the volume.
The indications are colored and commented according to the comparison.
PRICE: Calculation of the MOBILE AVERAGE of the price with comparison of the price compared to the moving average of the price.
The indications are colored and commented according to the comparison.
HHLL BOXES:
Visualizes in the form of a box, for a given period, the max high and min low values of the price.
The configuration allows taking into account the high and low wicks of the price or the opening and closing values.
FAIR VALUE GAP :
This indicator displays 'GAP' levels over the current time period and an optional higher time period.
The script takes into account the high/low values of the current bar and compares with the 2 previous bars.
The "gap" is generated from the lack of overlap between these bars. Bearish or bullish gaps are determined by whether the gap is above or below HmaPrice, as they tend to fill, and can be used as targets.
NOTE: FAIR VALUE GAP has no values displayed in the table and/or label.
Important information (DATA) relating to each indicator is displayed in real time in a table and/or a label.
Each information is commented and colored according to direction, value, comparison etc.
Each piece of information indicates the values of the current bar and the previous value (in "FULL" mode).
The other possible modes for viewing the table and/or the label allow a more synthetic view of the information ("CONDENSED" and "MINIMAL" modes).
In order not to overload the vision of the chart too much, the visualization box of the RANGE DONCHIAN, the vertical lines of the shifted marks of the ICHIMOKU, as well as the boxes of the HHLL Boxes indicator are only visualized intermittently (managed by an adjustable time delay ).
The "HISTORICAL INFO READING" configuration parameter set to zero (by default) makes it possible to read all the information of the current bar in progress (Bar #0). All other values allow to read the information of a historical bar. The value 1 reads the information of the bar preceding the current bar (-1). The value 10 makes it possible to read the information of the tenth bar behind (-10) compared to the current bar, etc.
At the bottom of the DATAS table and label, lights, red, green or white indicate quickly summarize the trend from the various indicators.
Each light represents the number of indicators with the same trend at a given time.
Green for a bullish trend, red for a bearish trend and white for a neutral trend.
The conditions for determining a trend are for each indicator:
SUPERTREND ICHIMOHU + DMI: the 2 Super trends together are either bullish or bearish.
Otherwise the signal is neutral.
DMI: 2 main conditions:
BULLISH if DI+ >= DI- and ADX >25.
BEARISH if DI+ < DI- and ADX >25.
NEUTRAL if the 2 conditions are not met.
ICHIMOKU: 3 main conditions:
BULLISH if PRICE above the cloud and TENKAN > KIJUN and GREEN CLOUD AHEAD.
BEARISH if PRICE below the cloud and TENKAN < KIJUN and RED CLOUD AHEAD.
The other additional conditions (Data) complete the analysis and are present for informational purposes of the trend and depend on the context.
DONCHIAN CHANNEL: 1 main condition:
BULLISH: the price has crossed above the HIGH DC line.
BEARISH: the price has gone below the LOW DC line.
NEUTRAL if the price is between the HIGH DC and LOW DC lines
The 2 other complementary conditions (Datas) complete the analysis:
HIGH DC and LOW DC are increasing, falling or stable.
SUPERTREND HMA HULL: The script determines several trend levels:
STRONG BUY, BUY, STRONG SELL, SELL AND NEUTRAL.
VOLUME: 3 trend levels:
VOLUME > MOVING AVERAGE,
VOLUME < MOVING AVERAGE,
VOLUME = MOVING AVERAGE.
PRICE: 3 trend levels:
PRICE > MOVING AVERAGE,

Modified ATR Indicator [KL]Modified Average True Range (ATR) Indicator
This indicator displays the ATR with relative highs and relative lows statistically determined.
What is ATR:
To know what ATR is, we need to understand what a True Range (TR) is.
- TR at a given bar is the highest distance between points: a) High vs low, b) High vs Close, and c) Low vs Close.
- ATR is the moving average of TRs over a predefined lookback period; 14 is the most commonly used.
- ATR can be mathematically expressed as:
Why is ATR Important
ATR often used to measure volatility; high volatility is indicated by high ATR, vice versa for low. This is a versatile tool allowing traders to determine entry/exit points, as well as the size of stop losses and when to take profits relative to it.
This is an opinion: Through observations, I have noticed that ATR can also indirectly tell us the levels of relative volume. This intuitively makes sense because in order to increase length of TR, high amounts of capital inflow/outflow is required (graphically speaking, high volume is required in order to make lengths of candle sticks longer). The relationship between ATR and relative volume should hold unless the market is illiquid to the extreme that there is no relationship between volume and price.
That said, knowing the relative lows/highs of ATR is very useful. It can be interpreted as:
- Relative high = high volatility, usually during sell offs
- Relative low = decreasing volume, could indicate price consolidation
Instead of arbitrarily determining whether ATR is high/low, this indicator will determine relative highs and relative lows using a simple statistical model.
How relative high/low is determined by this model
This indicator applies two-tailed hypothesis testing to test whether ATR (ie. say lookback of 14) has greatly deviated from a larger sample size (ie. lookback of 50). Assuming ATR is normally distributed and variance is known, then test statistic (z) can be used to determine whether ATR14 is within the critical area under Null Hypothesis: ATR14 == ATR50. If z falls below/above the left/right critical values (ie. 1.645 for a 90% confidence interval), then this is shown by the indicator through using different colors to plot the ATR line.
Relative Volume at Time█ OVERVIEW
This indicator calculates relative volume, which is the ratio of present volume over an average of past volume.
It offers two calculation modes, both using a time reference as an anchor.
█ CONCEPTS
Calculation modes
The simplest way to calculate relative volume is by using the ratio of a bar's volume over a simple moving average of the last n volume values.
This indicator uses one of two, more subtle ways to calculate both values of the relative volume ratio: current volume:past volume .
The two calculations modes are:
1 — Cumulate from Beginning of TF to Current Bar where:
current volume = the cumulative volume since the beginning of the timeframe unit, and
past volume = the mean of volume during that same relative period of time in the past n timeframe units.
2 — Point-to-Point Bars at Same Offset from Beginning of TF where:
current volume = the volume on a single chart bar, and
past volume = the mean of volume values from that same relative bar in time from the past n timeframe units.
Timeframe units
Timeframe units can be defined in three different ways:
1 — Using Auto-steps, where the timeframe unit automatically adjusts to the timeframe used on the chart:
— A 1 min timeframe unit will be used on 1sec charts,
— 1H will be used for charts at 1min and less,
— 1D will be used for other intraday chart timeframes,
— 1W will be used for 1D charts,
— 1M will be used for charts at less than 1M,
— 1Y will be used for charts at greater or equal than 1M.
2 — As a fixed timeframe that you define.
3 — By time of day (for intraday chart timeframes only), which you also define. If you use non-intraday chart timeframes in this mode, the indicator will switch to Auto-steps.
Relative Relativity
A relative volume value of 1.0 indicates that current volume is equal to the mean of past volume , but how can we determine what constitutes a high relative volume value?
The traditional way is to settle for an arbitrary threshold, with 2.0 often used to indicate that relative volume is worthy of attention.
We wanted to provide traders with a contextual method of calculating threshold values, so in addition to the conventional fixed threshold value,
this indicator includes two methods of calculating a threshold channel on past relative volume values:
1 — Using the standard deviation of relative volume over a fixed lookback.
2 — Using the highs/lows of relative volume over a variable lookback.
Channels calculated on relative volume provide meta-relativity, if you will, as they are relative values of relative volume.
█ FEATURES
Controls in the "Display" section of inputs determine what is visible in the indicator's pane. The next "Settings" section is where you configure the parameters used in the calculations. The "Column Coloring Conditions" section controls the color of the columns, which you will see in three of the five display modes available. Whether columns are plotted or not, the coloring conditions also determine when markers appear, if you have chosen to show the markers in the "Display" section. The presence of markers is what triggers the alerts configured on this indicator. Finally, the "Colors" section of inputs allows you to control the color of the indicator's visual components.
Display
Five display modes are available:
• Current Volume Columns : shows columns of current volume , with past volume displayed as an outlined column.
• Relative Volume Columns : shows relative volume as a column.
• Relative Volume Columns With Average : shows relative volume as a column, with the average of relative volume.
• Directional Relative Volume Average : shows a line calculated using the average of +/- values of relative volume.
The positive value of relative volume is used on up bars; its negative value on down bars.
• Relative Volume Average : shows the average of relative volume.
A Hull moving average is used to calculate the average used in the three last display modes.
You can also control the display of:
• The value or relative volume, when in the first three display modes. Only the last 500 values will be shown.
• Timeframe transitions, shown in the background.
• A reminder of the active timeframe unit, which appears to the right of the indicator's last bar.
• The threshold used, which can be a fixed value or a channel, as determined in the next "Settings" section of inputs.
• Up/Down markers, which appear on transitions of the color of the volume columns (determined by coloring conditions), which in turn control when alerts are triggered.
• Conditions of high volatility.
Settings
Use this section of inputs to change:
• Calculation mode : this is where you select one of this indicator's two calculation modes for current volume and past volume , as explained in the "Concepts" section.
• Past Volume Lookback in TF units : the quantity of timeframe units used in the calculation of past volume .
• Define Timeframes Units Using : the mode used to determine what one timeframe unit is. Note that when using a fixed timeframe, it must be higher than the chart's timeframe.
Also, note that time of day timeframe units only work on intraday chart timeframes.
• Threshold Mode : Five different modes can be selected:
— Fixed Value : You can define the value using the "Fixed Threshold" field below. The default value is 2.0.
— Standard Deviation Channel From Fixed Lookback : This is a channel calculated using the simple moving average of relative volume
(so not the Hull moving average used elsewhere in the indicator), plus/minus the standard deviation multiplied by a user-defined factor.
The lookback used is the value of the "Channel Lookback" field. Its default is 100.
— High/Low Channel From Beginning of TF : in this mode, the High/Low values reset at the beginning of each timeframe unit.
— High/Low Channel From Beginning of Past Volume Lookback : in this mode, the High/Low values start from the farthest point back where we are calculating past volume ,
which is determined by the combination of timeframe units and the "Past Volume Lookback in TF units" value.
— High/Low Channel From Fixed Lookback : In this mode the lookback is fixed. You can define the value using the "Channel Lookback" field. The default value is 100.
• Period of RelVol Moving Average : the period of the Hull moving average used in the "Directional Relative Volume Average" and the "Relative Volume Average".
• High Volatility is defined using fast and slow ATR periods, so this represents the volatility of price.
Volatility is considered to be high when the fast ATR value is greater than its slow value. Volatility can be used as a filter in the column coloring conditions.
Column Coloring Conditions
• Eight different conditions can be turned on or off to determine the color of the volume columns. All "ON" conditions must be met to determine a high/low state of relative volume,
or, in the case of directional relative volume, a bull/bear state.
• A volatility state can also be used to filter the conditions.
• When the coloring conditions and the filter do not allow for a high/low state to be determined, the neutral color is used.
• Transitions of the color of the volume columns determined by coloring conditions are used to plot the up/down markers, which in turn control when alerts are triggered.
Colors
• You can define your own colors for all of the oscillator's plots.
• The default colors will perform well on light or dark chart backgrounds.
Alerts
• An alert can be defined for the script. The alert will trigger whenever an up/down marker appears in the indicator's display.
The particular combination of coloring conditions and the display settings for up/down markers when you create the alert will determine which conditions trigger the alert.
After alerts are created, subsequent changes to the conditions controlling the display of markers will not affect existing alerts.
• By configuring the script's inputs in different ways before you create your alerts, you can create multiple, functionally distinct alerts from this script.
When creating multiple alerts, it is useful to include in the alert's message a reminder of the particular conditions you used for each alert.
• As is usually the case, alerts triggering "Once Per Bar Close" will prevent repainting.
Error messages
Error messages will appear at the end of the chart upon the following conditions:
• When the combination of the timeframe units used and the "Past Volume Lookback in TF units" value create a lookback that is greater than 5000 bars.
The lookback will then be recalculated to a value such that a runtime error does not occur.
• If the chart's timeframe is higher than the timeframe units. This error cannot occur when using Auto-steps to calculate timeframe units.
• If relative volume cannot be calculated, for example, when no volume data is available for the chart's symbol.
• When the threshold of relative volume is configured to be visible but the indicator's scale does not allow it to be visible (in "Current Volume Columns" display mode).
█ NOTES
For traders
The chart shown here uses the following display modes: "Current Volume Columns", "Relative Volume Columns With Average", "Directional Relative Volume Average" and "Relative Volume Average". The last one also shows the threshold channel in standard deviation mode, and the TF Unit reminder to the right, in red.
Volume, like price, is a value with a market-dependent scale. The only valid reference for volume being its past values, any improvement in the way past volume is calculated thus represents a potential opportunity to traders. Relative volume calculated as it is here can help traders extract useful information from markets in many circumstances, markets with cyclical volume such as Forex being one, obvious case. The relative nature of the values calculated by this indicator also make it a natural fit for cross-market and cross-sector analysis, or to identify behavioral changes in the different futures contracts of the same market. Relative volume can also be put to more exotic uses, such as in evaluating changes in the popularity of exchanges.
Relative volume alone has no directional bias. While higher relative volume values always indicate higher trading activity, that activity does not necessarily translate into significant price movement. In a tightly fought battle between buyers and sellers, you could theoretically have very large volume for many bars, with no change whatsoever in bid/ask prices. This of course, is unlikely to happen in reality, and so traders are justified in considering high relative volume values as indicating periods where more attention is required, because imbalances in the strength of buying/selling power during high-volume trading periods can amplify price variations, providing traders with the generally useful gift of volatility.
Be sure to give the "Directional Relative Volume Average" a try. Contrary to the always-positive ratio widely used in this indicator, the "Directional Relative Volume Average" produces a value able to determine a bullish/bearish bias for relative volume.
Note that realtime bars must be complete for the relative volume value to be confirmed. Values calculated on historical or elapsed realtime bars will not recalculate unless historical volume data changes.
Finally, as with all indicators using volume information, keep in mind that some exchanges/brokers supply different feeds for intraday and daily data, and the volume data on both feeds can sometimes vary quite a bit.
For coders
Our script was written using the PineCoders Coding Conventions for Pine .
The description was formatted using the techniques explained in the How We Write and Format Script Descriptions PineCoders publication.
Bits and pieces of code were lifted from the MTF Selection Framework and the MTF Oscillator Framework , also by PineCoders.
█ THANKS
Thanks to dgtrd for suggesting to add the channel using standard deviation.
Thanks to adolgov for helpful suggestions on calculations and visuals.
Look first. Then leap.
Rabbit HoleHow deep is the Rabbit hole? Interesting experiment that finds the RISING HIGHS and FALLING LOWS and place the difference between the highs and lows into separate arrays.
== Calculations ==
In case current high is higher than previous high, we calculate the value by subtracting the current highest high with the previous High (lowest high) into array A,
same method for the lows just in Array B.
Since we subtract highs and lows it means velocity is taken into consideration with the plotting.
After adding a new value we remove the oldest value if the array is bigger than the Look back length. This is done for both lows and highs array.
Afterwards we sum up the lows and highs array (separately) and plot them separately, We can also smooth them a bit with Moving averages like HMA, JMA, KAMA and more.
== RULES ==
When High Lines crosses the Low Line we get a GREEN tunnel.
When Low Lines crosses the High line we get the RED tunnel.
The Greenish the stronger the up trend.
The Redish the stronger the downtrend.
== NOTES ==
Bars are not colored by default.
Better for higher time frames, 1 hour and above.
Enjoy and like if you like!

Extrapolated Pivot Connector - Lets Make Support And ResistancesIntroduction
The support and resistance methodology remain the most used one in technical analysis, this is mainly due to its simplicity, and unlike lots of techniques used in technical analysis support and resistances have a certain logic, price can sometimes appear moving into a channel, support and resistances allow the trader to estimate such channel and project it into the future in order to spot points where price might reverse direction.
In this script a simple linear support and resistance indicator is proposed, the indicator is made by connecting past pivot high's/low's to more recent ones and extrapolating the resulting connection. The indicator is also able to make support and resistances by using other indicators as input.
Indicator Settings
The indicator include various settings, the first one being the length setting who determine the sensitivity of the pivot high/low detection, low values of length will detect the pivot high/low of noisy variations, while higher values will detect the pivot high/low of longer term variations.
The figure above use length = 5.
The A-High parameter determine the position of the pivot high to be used as first point of the resistance line, higher values will use oldest pivot high's as first point. The B-High parameter determine the last pivot high. A-Low and B-Low work the same way but affect the support line, a label is drawn on the chart in order to help you determine the position of A/B-High/Low.
Using Other Indicators Output As Input
The "Use Custom Source" option allow you to apply the indicator to other indicators, for example we can use a moving average of period 50 as input
Or the rsi :
Let me help you set the proposed indicator easily to indicators appearing on a separate window, for example the momentum oscillator, add the momentum oscillator to the chart, to do so click on indicator and search "momentum", click on the first result, once on the chart put your mouse pointer on the indicator title, you'll see appearing the hide, settings and delete option, at the right of delete you should see three dots which represent the "more" option, click on it and select "Add indicator on Mom" and select the extrapolated pivot indicator, you can do that by searching it, altho it might be easier to do it by adding the indicator to favorites first, you then only need to select it from your favorites.
You might see a mess on the indicator window, thats because the extrapolated pivot is still using high and low as input, go to the settings of the extrapolated pivot indicator and check "Use Custom Source", it should appear properly now.
Tips And Tricks When Using Support And Resistances
Linear support and resistances assume an approximately linear trend, if you see non linear growth in the price evolution you can use a logarithmic scale in order to have a more linear evolution. To do so right click on the the chart scale and select "Logarithmic" or use the following key shortcut "alt + l".
When applying the indicator to an oscillator centered around zero make sure to adjust the settings of the oscillator such that the peak magnitude of the oscillator is relatively constant over time.
Here a roc of period 9 has non constant peak amplitude, you can see that by looking at the position of the pivots (circles), increasing the period of the roc help capture more significant pivots high's/low's
Conclusion
In this post an indicator aiming to draw support and resistances is presented, the fact that it can be applied to any other indicator is a relatively nice option, and i hope you might make use of this feature.
The code make heavy use of the new features that where integrated on the v4 of pine, such features are really focused on making figures and labels, things i don't really work with, but it is nice to step out my short codes habits, and i don't exclude working with figures in pine in the future.
Thanks for reading !
Key Recent Highs and LowsKey Recent Highs & Lows — Session‐Aware Market Structure
TL;DR
This tool plots the most important intraday price extremes for every U.S.‑equity trading segment—Early Premarket • Western Premarket • Regular Hours • Post‑Market Hours • Yesterday’s Range—and labels them so you can trade break‑outs, retests and mean‑reversion with instant context.
📐 Theory & Why These Levels Matter
Liquidity Pools
Visible session extremes attract resting orders (stop‑losses, take‑profits, opening prints). Price often accelerates into them and reacts at them.
Market Memory
The previous day’s high/low is a widely‑watched pivot for gap fills, overnight inventory corrections and multi‑day breakouts.
Mean‑Reversion Windows
Statistically, pre‑ and post‑market ranges are thin; an aggressive spike outside those bands often retraces when full liquidity returns.
Break‑Out Confirmation
A true breakout isn’t just a tick above RTH‑high—it usually closes or at least consolidates above the prior extreme. Seeing all bands lets you gauge whether a push is “real” or just probing thinner sessions.
Put simply, these levels help you decide:
Break‑out ➜ trade in the direction of expansion past a session extreme with follow‑through.
Fade/Mean‑Revert ➜ fade a spike that tags an extreme without commitment (e.g., hits Western‑Premkt‑High then stalls before RTH).
🔍 What the Script Draws
Session (UTC‑4 EST) Default Color / Style Typical Use‑Case
Early Premarket 4 – 7 AM Thick semi‑transparent orange line detect overnight retail spikes / fade plays
Western Premarket 7 – 9 : 30 AM Dashed orange‑red breakout watch as U.S. brokers open
Regular Session (RTH) 9 : 30 – 16 : 00 Bold teal dotted line core intraday structure; classic highs/lows
Post‑Market 16 – 23 : 59 Soft indigo band after‑hours news moves, earnings fades
Previous‑Day RTH Solid teal gap‑fill targets, trend continuation filters
(All colors, thicknesses and transparencies are editable in the settings.)
✨ Features
Real‑Time Updates
Levels refresh tick‑by‑tick inside their own session—no repainting later.
One‑Click Visibility Toggles
Show or hide any session extreme independently.
Clean Auto‑Labels
Optional right‑edge tags (“RTH High”, “Premkt Low”, etc.) keep your chart readable even when lines overlap.
Automatic Daily Reset
At midnight Eastern, buffers clear and yesterday’s extremes roll into the “Prev‑Day” pair.
Zero‑Noise Design
Transparencies and line styles are tuned so you can overlay on any symbol / timeframe without drowning candles.
📈 How to Trade with It
Intraday Breakout Strategy
Mark confluence (e.g., price pushes through Western Premkt High and Yesterday’s High).
Wait for a pullback that holds above the reclaimed band.
Enter with stop under that session line; target next band or measured‑move.
Fade / Mean‑Reversion
Pre‑market headline sends price 5 % above Early Premkt High.
Volume dries up before RTH open.
Short into exhaustion; cover near Western Premkt High or VWAP.
Gap‑Fill & Trend Days
Cash open gaps above Prev‑Day High.
If first 15‑min candle closes back inside yesterday’s range, bias shifts to downside fade.
If it holds above, treat gap as breakout and track RTH High extensions.
Pair it with volume‑profile, VWAP, or momentum oscillators for even higher‑confidence setups.
⚙️ Settings Cheat‑Sheet
Setting Effect
Show Regular / Premarket / Post‑market High/Low Master visibility per session

🛠️ Best Practices
Works on any intraday timeframe (1‑min to 1‑hour).
Crypto or 24 h markets: adjust session times to match your exchange.
Combine with alerts (e.g., “price crossing RTH High”) for hands‑free monitoring.
Put KRHL on your chart and you’ll never wonder which high matters most again—because they’re all right there, clearly labeled and color‑coded. Trade breakouts or fades with confidence, armed with the exact market structure everyone else is watching.
Intraday Pivot Highs & Lows (Asia London NY)Intraday Pivot Highs & Lows (Asia London NY)
Script Description
This TradingView indicator is optimized for Forex, scalping, intraday, and day trading strategies. It accurately plots Pivot Points and levels, high/low, support and resistance levels. These are clearly identified to aid the trader during killzone sessions and session opens. Ideal for scalp trading, intraday sessions, and leveraging SMT (Smart Money Techniques). Utilize these Price Levels effectively during London Open, NY Open, and the Asia Session, utilizing Market Structure to pinpoint key levels and reversal zones for successful trading. Improve your Trade Setups, recognize reliable Chart Patterns, identify critical Price Pivots, and trade confidently off Institutional Levels.
This script marks the intraday pivot highs, lows and midpoints retracement levels for
Asia
London
New York
It also plots the previous day's high, low, midpoint, and 0.618 Fibonacci retracement levels, providing traders with critical price reference points for making intraday trading decisions.
Originality & Usefulness
This indicator uniquely integrates pivot calculations across three major Forex sessions (Asia, London, NY), clearly delineating session boundaries.
It enhances visibility by using distinct styling
solid for New York
dashed for London
dotted lines for Asia
And colour co-ordinated labeling, improving traders' ability to identify important intraday price action zones efficiently. Unlike standard pivot indicators, this script emphasizes session-specific trading dynamics.
### Key Features ###
Session-Based Levels: Automatically plots high, low, midpoint, and Fibonacci (.618) levels for each major session (Asia, London, NY).
Distinct Visual Cues: Lines and labels use session-specific styles and colors to easily differentiate between sessions.
Previous Day Reference: Clearly plots and labels yesterday's high, low, midpoint, and Fibonacci levels.
Flexible Visibility: Traders can set timeframe visibility to maintain clean charts on higher timeframes.
### How It Works
At the start of next day's session, previous session lines are cleared, ensuring the chart remains uncluttered.
High, low, midpoint, and Fibonacci retracement levels (.618) are dynamically calculated and displayed at the close of each session.
All session levels remain visible until the start of the next respective session, providing continuous actionable insights.
Trading Application:
Session highs and lows act as strong intraday support and resistance zones.
Midpoints and Fibonacci levels are effective for identifying potential reversal zones and retracements.
Daily levels provide a broader context, useful for gauging intraday volatility and range.
### Limitations and Considerations ##
Best used on liquid assets with clear session-based price action, such as Forex major pairs, if used on indexes make sure they contain 24 hour price action not just New York session.
This indicator is designed to streamline intraday trading by clearly marking essential pivot points and session-based levels, significantly improving traders' market context and decision-making accuracy. Can be used to enhance SMT decision making when scalping killzones.
ICT Macro Zone Boxes w/ Individual H/L Tracking v3.1ICT Macro Zones (Grey Box Version
This indicator dynamically highlights key intraday time-based macro sessions using a clean, minimalistic grey box overlay, helping traders align with institutional trading cycles. Inspired by ICT (Inner Circle Trader) concepts, it tracks real-time highs and lows for each session and optionally extends the zone box after the session ends — making it a precision tool for intraday setups, order flow analysis, and macro-level liquidity sweeps.
### 🔍 **What It Does**
- Plots **six predefined macro sessions** used in Smart Money Concepts:
- AM Macro (09:50–10:10)
- London Close (10:50–11:10)
- Lunch Macro (11:30–13:30)
- PM Macro (14:50–15:10)
- London SB (03:00–04:00)
- PM SB (15:00–16:00)
- Each zone:
- **Tracks high and low dynamically** throughout the session.
- **Draws a consistent grey shaded box** to visualize price boundaries.
- **Displays a label** at the first bar of the session (optional).
- **Optionally extends** the box to the right after the session closes.
### 🧠 **How It Works**
- Uses Pine Script arrays to define each session’s time window, label, and color.
- Detects session entry using `time()` within a New York timezone context.
- High/Low values are updated per bar inside the session window.
- Once a session ends, the box is optionally closed and fixed in place.
- All visual zones use a standardized grey tone for clarity and consistency across charts.
### 🛠️ **Settings**
- **Shade Zone High→Low:** Enable/disable the grey macro box.
- **Extend Box After Session:** Keep the zone visible after it ends.
- **Show Entry Label:** Display a label at the start of each session.
### 🎯 **Why This Script is Unique**
Unlike basic session markers or colored backgrounds, this tool:
- Focuses on **macro moments of liquidity and reversal**, not just open/close times.
- Uses **per-session logic** to individually track price behavior inside key time windows.
- Supports **real-time high/low tracking and clean zone drawing**, ideal for Smart Money and ICT-style strategies.
Perfect — based on your list, here's a **bundle-style description** that not only explains the function of each script but also shows how they **work together** in a Smart Money/ICT workflow. This kind of cross-script explanation is exactly what TradingView wants to see to justify closed-source mashups or interdependent tools.

PowerHouse SwiftEdge AI v2.10 with Custom Filters & AI AnalysisPowerHouse SwiftEdge AI v2.10 with Custom Filters & AI Analysis
Overview
PowerHouse SwiftEdge AI v2.10 is an advanced TradingView Pine Script indicator designed to identify high-probability trading setups by combining pivot-based structure analysis, multi-timeframe trend detection, and adaptive AI-driven signal filtering. The script integrates Change of Character (CHoCH) and Break of Structure (BOS) signals with customizable momentum, volume, breakout, and trend filters to enhance trade precision. Additionally, it offers an optional AI Market Analysis module that predicts future price trends across multiple timeframes, providing traders with a comprehensive market outlook.
The script is highly customizable, allowing users to tailor inputs to their trading style, whether for scalping, swing trading, or long-term strategies. It is suitable for all asset classes, including stocks, forex, crypto, and commodities, and performs optimally on timeframes ranging from 1-minute to daily charts.
Key Features
Pivot-Based Signal Generation:
Identifies pivot highs and lows to detect CHoCH (reversal patterns) and BOS (continuation patterns).
Signals are plotted as "Buy" or "Sell" labels with optional "Get Ready" pre-signals to prepare traders for potential setups.
Take-profit (TP) levels are automatically calculated based on user-defined points, with optional TP box visualization.
Multi-Timeframe Trend Analysis:
Analyzes trends across seven timeframes (1M, 5M, 15M, 30M, 1H, 4H, D) using EMA and VWAP to determine bullish, bearish, or neutral conditions.
Displays a futuristic AI-Trend Matrix dashboard showing trend direction, strength, and confidence levels for quick decision-making.
Customizable Signal Filters:
Momentum Filter: Ensures signals align with significant price changes, adjusted dynamically using ATR-based volatility.
Higher Timeframe Trend Filter: Requires signals to align with the trend of a user-selected higher timeframe (e.g., 1H).
Lower Timeframe Trend Filter: Prevents signals that conflict with the trend of a user-selected lower timeframe (e.g., 5M).
Volume Filter: Optionally requires above-average volume to confirm signals.
Breakout Filter: Optionally requires price to break previous highs/lows for signal validation.
Repeated Signal Restriction: Prevents consecutive signals in the same trend direction until the trend changes on a user-defined timeframe.
AI-Driven Adaptivity:
Incorporates Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) to assess buying/selling pressure and classify market volatility (Low, Medium, High).
Uses ATR to dynamically adjust momentum thresholds, ensuring signals adapt to current market conditions.
Optional AI Market Analysis module predicts trends across multiple timeframes by combining trend, momentum, and volatility scores.
Visual Elements:
Plots CHoCH and BOS levels as horizontal lines with distinct colors (aqua for CHoCH sell, lime for CHoCH buy, fuchsia for BOS sell, teal for BOS buy).
Draws dynamic support and resistance trendlines based on short and long-term price action, colored by trend strength.
Displays TP levels and pivot highs/lows for easy reference.
How It Works
The script combines several technical analysis concepts to create a robust trading system:
Market Structure Analysis:
Pivot highs and lows are identified using a user-defined lookback period (Pivot Length).
CHoCH occurs when price crosses below a pivot high (bearish reversal) or above a pivot low (bullish reversal).
BOS occurs when price breaks a previous pivot low (bearish continuation) or pivot high (bullish continuation).
Trend and Momentum Integration:
Trends are determined by comparing price to EMA and VWAP on multiple timeframes.
Momentum is calculated as the percentage price change, with thresholds adjusted by ATR to account for volatility.
"Get Ready" signals appear when momentum approaches the threshold, preparing traders for potential CHoCH or BOS signals.
Signal Filtering:
Filters ensure signals align with user-defined criteria (e.g., trend direction, volume, breakouts).
The Restrict Repeated Signals option prevents over-signaling by requiring a trend change on a specified timeframe before generating a new signal in the same direction.
AI Market Analysis:
The optional AI module calculates a score for each timeframe based on trend direction, momentum, and volatility (ATR compared to its SMA).
Scores are translated into predictions (▲ for bullish, ▼ for bearish, — for neutral), displayed in a dedicated table.
CVD and Volatility Context:
CVD tracks buying vs. selling pressure by accumulating volume based on price direction.
Volatility is classified using CVD magnitude, influencing the script’s visual cues and signal sensitivity.
Why This Combination?
The integration of pivot-based structure analysis, multi-timeframe trend filtering, and AI-driven adaptivity addresses common trading challenges:
Precision: CHoCH and BOS signals focus on key market turning points, reducing noise from minor price fluctuations.
Context: Multi-timeframe analysis ensures trades align with broader market trends, improving win rates.
Adaptivity: ATR and CVD adjustments make the script responsive to changing market conditions, avoiding static thresholds that fail in volatile or quiet markets.
Customization: Extensive input options allow traders to adapt the script to their preferred markets, timeframes, and risk profiles.
Predictive Insight: The AI Market Analysis module provides forward-looking trend predictions, helping traders anticipate market moves.
This combination creates a self-contained system that balances responsiveness with reliability, making it suitable for both novice and experienced traders.
How to Use
Add to Chart:
Apply the indicator to your TradingView chart for any asset and timeframe.
Recommended timeframes: 5M to 1H for scalping/day trading, 4H to D for swing trading.
Configure Inputs:
Pivot Length: Adjust (default 5) to control sensitivity to pivot highs/lows. Lower values for faster signals, higher for stronger confirmations.
Momentum Threshold: Set the minimum price change (default 0.01%) for signals. Increase for stricter conditions.
Take Profit Points: Define TP distance (default 10 points). Adjust based on asset volatility.
Signal Filters: Enable/disable filters (momentum, trend, volume, breakout) to match your strategy.
Higher/Lower Timeframe: Select timeframes for trend alignment (e.g., 1H for higher, 5M for lower).
AI Market Analysis: Enable for predictive trend insights across timeframes.
Get Ready Signals: Enable to see pre-signals for potential setups.
Interpret Signals:
Buy/Sell Labels: Act on green "Buy" or red "Sell" labels, confirming with TP levels and trend direction.
Get Ready Labels: Yellow "Get Ready BUY" or orange "Get Ready SELL" indicate potential setups; prepare but wait for confirmation.
CHoCH/BOS Lines: Use aqua/lime (CHoCH) and fuchsia/teal (BOS) lines as key support/resistance levels.
AI-Trend Matrix: Check the top-right dashboard for trend strength (%), confidence (%), and timeframe-specific trends.
AI Market Analysis Table: If enabled, view predictions (▲/▼/—) for each timeframe to anticipate market direction.
Trading Tips:
Combine signals with other indicators (e.g., RSI, MACD) for additional confirmation.
Use higher timeframe trend alignment for higher-probability trades.
Adjust TP and signal distance based on asset volatility and trading style.
Monitor the AI-Trend Matrix for trend strength; values above 50% or below -50% indicate strong directional bias.
Originality
PowerHouse SwiftEdge AI v2.10 stands out due to its unique blend of:
Adaptive Signal Generation: ATR-based momentum thresholds and CVD-driven volatility context ensure signals remain relevant across market conditions.
Multi-Timeframe Synergy: The script’s ability to filter signals based on both higher and lower timeframe trends provides a rare balance of precision and context.
AI-Powered Insights: The AI Market Analysis module offers predictive capabilities not commonly found in traditional indicators, simulating institutional-grade analysis.
Visual Clarity: The futuristic dashboard and color-coded trendlines make complex data accessible, enhancing usability for all trader levels.
Unlike standalone pivot or trend indicators, this script integrates multiple layers of analysis into a cohesive system, reducing false signals and providing actionable insights without requiring external tools or research.
Limitations
False Signals: No indicator is foolproof; signals may fail in choppy or low-volume markets. Use filters to mitigate.
Timeframe Sensitivity: Performance varies by timeframe and asset. Test settings thoroughly.
AI Predictions: The AI Market Analysis is based on historical data and simplified scoring; it’s not a guaranteed forecast.
Resource Usage: Enabling all filters and AI analysis may slow performance on lower-end devices.
Enhanced VSA Volume & Candle Colors with MA SelectionOverview:
This script aims to enhance the visualization of volume spikes and price action by coloring volume bars and price candles dynamically based on the volume behavior. It allows traders to customize the type of volume moving average (SMA, EMA, or VWMA) used and apply various color schemes to highlight high, low, and extreme volume conditions. Additionally, alerts are generated when extreme or low-volume conditions occur.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key Features:
Customizable Volume Lookback Period:
The script allows users to define the period for calculating the moving average of volume (default: 200).
Volume Multiplier Settings:
High and low volume thresholds are defined using multipliers. Users can adjust these to customize how volume is categorized (default multipliers: 1.5 for high volume, 0.5 for low volume).
Percentile-Based Extreme Volume Detection:
The script calculates a percentile threshold for extreme volume (default: 90th percentile) based on the volume data, highlighting exceptionally high volume spikes.
Moving Average Selection:
Users can choose between Simple Moving Average (SMA), Exponential Moving Average (EMA), or Volume Weighted Moving Average (VWMA) to track volume trends over the selected lookback period.
Volume-Based Price Bar Coloring:
Price bars can be colored according to the volume conditions (high, low, or extreme). This feature can be toggled on or off.
Dynamic Transparency and Color Customization:
The script allows users to set custom colors for different volume conditions (high, low, neutral, extreme) and adjusts the transparency of volume bars based on the relative size of the volume.
Alerts:
Alerts can be set for when extreme volume spikes or low volume conditions are detected.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Script Components:
Volume Histogram Plot:

How to Use
Basic VWAP Analysis
The core VWAP line (blue) represents the average price weighted by volume since the start of the session (17:00 daily reset). This serves as a dynamic support/resistance level and reference point for intraday trading.
1. **Price above VWAP**: Generally bullish short-term sentiment
2. **Price below VWAP**: Generally bearish short-term sentiment
3. **Crosses of VWAP**: Potential shift in short-term momentum
Standard Deviation Bands
The bands surrounding VWAP help identify potential support, resistance, and volatility levels:
- **Band #1 (±1σ)**: Price often reverts to VWAP when reaching these levels
- **Band #2 (±2σ)**: Stronger support/resistance areas, possible reversal zones
- **Band #3 (±3σ)**: Extreme price levels, often indicating overbought/oversold conditions
High/Low Point Detection
Purple and yellow diamond markers identify significant swing highs and lows relative to VWAP, helping you recognize potential reversal points or continuation patterns. (These repaint in a effort to find the max high/low point from the VWAP Line)
EMA Strategy
The customizable EMAs can be used to:
- Find potential support/resistance levels
- Create crossover systems
- Analyze market structure
Common EMA combinations include:
- 8 & 21 for short-term trends
- 50 & 200 for long-term trends and the "Golden Cross/Death Cross"
- 13 & 48 for the "New Golden Cross" - a modern alternative gaining popularity among traders
- 8, 13, 21 for complex short-term momentum analysis

Double Top/Bottom Fractals DetectorDouble Top/Bottom Detector with Williams Fractals (Extended + Early Signal)
This indicator combines the classic Williams Fractals methodology with an enhanced mechanism to detect potential reversal patterns—namely, double tops and double bottoms. It does so by using two separate detection schemes:
Confirmed Fractals for Pattern Formation:
The indicator calculates confirmed fractals using the traditional Williams Fractals rules. A fractal is confirmed if a bar’s high (for an up fractal) or low (for a down fractal) is the highest or lowest compared to a specified number of bars on both sides (default: 2 bars on the left and 2 on the right).
Once a confirmed fractal is identified, its price (high for tops, low for bottoms) and bar index are stored in an internal array (up to the 10 most recent confirmed fractals).
When a new confirmed fractal appears, the indicator compares it with previous confirmed fractals. If the new fractal is within a user-defined maximum bar distance (e.g., 20 bars) and the price difference is within a specified tolerance (default: 0.8%), the indicator assumes that a double top (if comparing highs) or a double bottom (if comparing lows) pattern is forming.
A signal is then generated by placing a label on the chart—SELL for a double top and BUY for a double bottom.
Early Signal Generation:
To capture potential reversals sooner, the indicator also includes an “early signal” mechanism. This uses asymmetric offsets different from the confirmed fractal calculation:
Signal Right Offset: Defines the candidate bar used for early signal detection (default is 1 bar).
Signal Left Offset: Defines the number of bars to the left of the candidate that must confirm the candidate’s price is the extreme (default is 2 bars).
For an early top candidate, the candidate bar’s high must be greater than the highs of the bars specified by the left offset and also higher than the bar immediately to its right. For an early bottom candidate, the corresponding condition applies for lows.
If the early candidate’s price level is within the acceptable tolerance when compared to any of the previously stored confirmed fractals (again, within the allowed bar distance), an early signal is generated—displayed as SELL_EARLY or BUY_EARLY.
The early signal block can be enabled or disabled via a checkbox input, allowing traders to choose whether to use these proactive signals.
Key Parameters:
n:
The number of bars used to confirm a fractal. The fractal is considered valid if the bar’s high (or low) is higher (or lower) than the highs (or lows) of the preceding and following n bars.
maxBarsApart:
The maximum number of bars allowed between two fractals for them to be considered part of the same double top or bottom pattern.
tolerancePercent:
The maximum allowed percentage difference (default: 0.8%) between the high (or low) values of two fractals to qualify them as matching for the pattern.
signalLeftOffset & signalRightOffset:
These parameters define the asymmetric offsets for early signal detection. The left offset (default: 2) specifies how many bars to look back, while the right offset (default: 1) specifies the candidate bar’s position.
earlySignalsEnabled:
A checkbox option that allows users to enable or disable early signal generation. When disabled, the indicator only uses confirmed fractal signals.
How It Works:
Fractal Calculation and Plotting:
The confirmed fractals are calculated using the traditional method, ensuring robust identification by verifying the pattern with a symmetrical offset. These confirmed fractals are plotted on the chart using triangle shapes (upwards for potential double bottoms and downwards for potential double tops).
Pattern Detection:
Upon detection of a new confirmed fractal, the indicator checks up to 10 previous fractals stored in internal arrays. If the new fractal’s high or low is within the tolerance range and close enough in terms of bars to one of the stored fractals, it signifies the formation of a double top or double bottom. A corresponding SELL or BUY label is then placed on the chart.
Early Signal Feature:
If enabled, the early signal block checks for candidate bars based on the defined asymmetric offsets. These candidates are evaluated to see if their high/low levels meet the early confirmation criteria relative to nearby bars. If they also match one of the confirmed fractal levels (within tolerance and bar distance), an early signal is issued with a label (SELL_EARLY or BUY_EARLY) on the chart.
Benefits for Traders:
Timely Alerts:
By combining both confirmed and early signals, the indicator offers a proactive approach to detect reversals sooner, potentially improving entry and exit timing.
Flexibility:
With adjustable parameters (including the option to disable early signals), traders can fine-tune the indicator to better suit different markets, timeframes, and trading styles.
Enhanced Pattern Recognition:
The dual-layered approach (confirmed fractals plus early detection) helps filter out false signals and captures the essential formation of double tops and bottoms more reliably.

Bullish Reversal Bar Strategy [Skyrexio]Overview
Bullish Reversal Bar Strategy leverages the combination of candlestick pattern Bullish Reversal Bar (description in Methodology and Justification of Methodology), Williams Alligator indicator and Williams Fractals to create the high probability setups. Candlestick pattern is used for the entering into trade, while the combination of Williams Alligator and Fractals is used for the trend approximation as close condition. Strategy uses only long trades.
Unique Features
No fixed stop-loss and take profit: Instead of fixed stop-loss level strategy utilizes technical condition obtained by Fractals and Alligator or the candlestick pattern invalidation to identify when current uptrend is likely to be over (more information in "Methodology" and "Justification of Methodology" paragraphs)
Configurable Trading Periods: Users can tailor the strategy to specific market windows, adapting to different market conditions.
Trend Trade Filter: strategy uses Alligator and Fractal combination as high probability trend filter.
Methodology
The strategy opens long trade when the following price met the conditions:
1.Current candle's high shall be below the Williams Alligator's lines (Jaw, Lips, Teeth)(all details in "Justification of Methodology" paragraph)
2.Price shall create the candlestick pattern "Bullish Reversal Bar". Optionally if MFI and AO filters are enabled current candle shall have the decreasing AO and at least one of three recent bars shall have the squat state on the MFI (all details in "Justification of Methodology" paragraph)
3.If price breaks through the high of the candle marked as the "Bullish Reversal Bar" the long trade is open at the price one tick above the candle's high
4.Initial stop loss is placed at the Bullish Reversal Bar's candle's low
5.If price hit the Bullish Reversal Bar's low before hitting the entry price potential trade is cancelled
6.If trade is active and initial stop loss has not been hit, trade is closed when the combination of Alligator and Williams Fractals shall consider current trend change from upward to downward.
Strategy settings
In the inputs window user can setup strategy setting:
Enable MFI (if true trades are filtered using Market Facilitation Index (MFI) condition all details in "Justification of Methodology" paragraph), by default = false)
Enable AO (if true trades are filtered using Awesome Oscillator (AO) condition all details in "Justification of Methodology" paragraph), by default = false)
Justification of Methodology
Let's explore the key concepts of this strategy and understand how they work together. The first and key concept is the Bullish Reversal Bar candlestick pattern. This is just the single bar pattern. The rules are simple:
Candle shall be closed in it's upper half
High of this candle shall be below all three Alligator's lines (Jaw, Lips, Teeth)
Next, let’s discuss the short-term trend filter, which combines the Williams Alligator and Williams Fractals. Williams Alligator
Developed by Bill Williams, the Alligator is a technical indicator that identifies trends and potential market reversals. It consists of three smoothed moving averages:
Jaw (Blue Line): The slowest of the three, based on a 13-period smoothed moving average shifted 8 bars ahead.
Teeth (Red Line): The medium-speed line, derived from an 8-period smoothed moving average shifted 5 bars forward.
Lips (Green Line): The fastest line, calculated using a 5-period smoothed moving average shifted 3 bars forward.
When the lines diverge and align in order, the "Alligator" is "awake," signaling a strong trend. When the lines overlap or intertwine, the "Alligator" is "asleep," indicating a range-bound or sideways market. This indicator helps traders determine when to enter or avoid trades.
Fractals, another tool by Bill Williams, help identify potential reversal points on a price chart. A fractal forms over at least five consecutive bars, with the middle bar showing either:
Up Fractal: Occurs when the middle bar has a higher high than the two preceding and two following bars, suggesting a potential downward reversal.
Down Fractal: Happens when the middle bar shows a lower low than the surrounding two bars, hinting at a possible upward reversal.
Traders often use fractals alongside other indicators to confirm trends or reversals, enhancing decision-making accuracy.
How do these tools work together in this strategy? Let’s consider an example of an uptrend.
When the price breaks above an up fractal, it signals a potential bullish trend. This occurs because the up fractal represents a shift in market behavior, where a temporary high was formed due to selling pressure. If the price revisits this level and breaks through, it suggests the market sentiment has turned bullish.
The breakout must occur above the Alligator’s teeth line to confirm the trend. A breakout below the teeth is considered invalid, and the downtrend might still persist. Conversely, in a downtrend, the same logic applies with down fractals.
How we can use all these indicators in this strategy? This strategy is a counter trend one. Candle's high shall be below all Alligator's lines. During this market stage the bullish reversal bar candlestick pattern shall be printed. This bar during the downtrend is a high probability setup for the potential reversal to the upside: bulls were able to close the price in the upper half of a candle. The breaking of its high is a high probability signal that trend change is confirmed and script opens long trade. If market continues going down and break down the bullish reversal bar's low potential trend change has been invalidated and strategy close long trade.
If market really reversed and started moving to the upside strategy waits for the trend change form the downtrend to the uptrend according to approximation of Alligator and Fractals combination. If this change happens strategy close the trade. This approach helps to stay in the long trade while the uptrend continuation is likely and close it if there is a high probability of the uptrend finish.
Optionally users can enable MFI and AO filters. First of all, let's briefly explain what are these two indicators. The Awesome Oscillator (AO), created by Bill Williams, is a momentum-based indicator that evaluates market momentum by comparing recent price activity to a broader historical context. It assists traders in identifying potential trend reversals and gauging trend strength.
AO = SMA5(Median Price) − SMA34(Median Price)
where:
Median Price = (High + Low) / 2
SMA5 = 5-period Simple Moving Average of the Median Price
SMA 34 = 34-period Simple Moving Average of the Median Price
This indicator is filtering signals in the following way: if current AO bar is decreasing this candle can be interpreted as a bullish reversal bar. This logic is applicable because initially this strategy is a trend reversal, it is searching for the high probability setup against the current trend. Decreasing AO is the additional high probability filter of a downtrend.
Let's briefly look what is MFI. The Market Facilitation Index (MFI) is a technical indicator that measures the price movement per unit of volume, helping traders gauge the efficiency of price movement in relation to trading volume. Here's how you can calculate it:
MFI = (High−Low)/Volume
MFI can be used in combination with volume, so we can divide 4 states. Bill Williams introduced these to help traders interpret the interaction between volume and price movement. Here’s a quick summary:
Green Window (Increased MFI & Increased Volume): Indicates strong momentum with both price and volume increasing. Often a sign of trend continuation, as both buying and selling interest are rising.
Fake Window (Increased MFI & Decreased Volume): Shows that price is moving but with lower volume, suggesting weak support for the trend. This can signal a potential end of the current trend.
Squat Window (Decreased MFI & Increased Volume): Shows high volume but little price movement, indicating a tug-of-war between buyers and sellers. This often precedes a breakout as the pressure builds.
Fade Window (Decreased MFI & Decreased Volume): Indicates a lack of interest from both buyers and sellers, leading to lower momentum. This typically happens in range-bound markets and may signal consolidation before a new move.
For our purposes we are interested in squat bars. This is the sign that volume cannot move the price easily. This type of bar increases the probability of trend reversal. In this indicator we added to enable the MFI filter of reversal bars. If potential reversal bar or two preceding bars have squat state this bar can be interpret as a reversal one.

Multi-Timeframe Liquidity LevelsMulti-Timeframe Liquidity Levels – Overview
The Multi-Timeframe Liquidity Levels indicator automatically displays significant highs and lows from various timeframes (Daily, Weekly, Monthly, and Quarterly) on your current chart. This allows traders to quickly identify potential support and resistance zones without frequently switching between different timeframe charts. Additionally, the script offers extra lines for special reference points (e.g., the “Midnight” midpoint of the current day and the previous day’s open/close) to highlight potential liquidity zones even more clearly.
1. Core Idea and Benefits
Time-Saving: Instead of manually reviewing charts in different timeframes, the indicator fetches relevant high/low levels automatically and shows them on your active timeframe.
Clear Layout: Traders instantly see where the Daily, Weekly, Monthly, and Quarterly highs and lows lie—areas often associated with institutional orders or liquidity hunts.
Customizable: You can tailor the color scheme, line style (Solid, Dashed, Dotted), and line width, ensuring the displayed levels fit your personal charting style.
2. How It Works
Multi-Timeframe High/Low
For each timeframe (Day, Week, Month, Quarter), the indicator references the previous candle’s high and low (high , low ).
Using request.security(...), these values are plotted on the chart you’re currently viewing.
Flexible Display
You can individually enable or disable the Daily, Weekly, Monthly, and Quarterly lines, depending on which levels are most relevant to your trading.
With Line Style (Solid, Dashed, Dotted) and Line Width, you can easily emphasize certain lines you consider more important.
Additional Lines
“Midnight” Line: A theoretical midpoint between today’s high and low, which can be useful for gauging daily pivot areas.
Previous Day’s Open/Close: Many traders track these reference points to anticipate market reactions. You can show or hide these lines as desired.
Automatic Line Removal & Creation
When a particular timeframe (e.g., “Show Monthly Levels”) is disabled, the script automatically removes the existing monthly lines.
Enabling it again recreates those lines without hassle.
3. Usage and Interpretation
Identifying Support and Resistance
Highs and lows from higher timeframes are often key zones for entries, exits, or major market reactions.
A Daily level may be crucial for short-term traders, whereas Monthly or Quarterly levels can indicate long-term liquidity areas.
Spotting Market Shifts
If price decisively moves above a Higher-Timeframe line, it could signal strong momentum.
Conversely, a failed breakout (where price quickly returns under or above a level) might warn of a potential reversal.
Extra Lines as Filters
The “Midnight” Line helps visualize a rough central price for the current day, aiding in intraday directional bias.
Previous Day’s Open/Close: Common reference points for day traders, where swift approaches and rejections can indicate potential entries or partial take-profit zones.
4. Practical Tips
Use Color-Coding Wisely: Assign distinct colors (e.g., Blue for Daily, Green for Weekly, Orange for Monthly, Purple for Quarterly) so you can easily discern which timeframe you’re looking at.
Toggle On/Off As Needed: Day traders might focus on Daily and Weekly, while long-term traders may pay closer attention to Monthly and Quarterly.
Combine with Price Action: Lines alone don’t constitute a trading strategy. Use them alongside candlestick patterns, volume analysis, or other indicators for a more complete market perspective.
5. Important Notes & Recommendations
Not Financial Advice: This indicator simply reflects historical high/low data across multiple timeframes and does not constitute a buy or sell recommendation.
Trader Responsibility: Observe how the market actually behaves around these lines and adapt your risk management accordingly.
Non-Psychological Levels🟩 Non-Psychological Levels is a structural analysis tool that segments price action into objective ranges, identifying Broken and Unbroken levels without relying on psychological or time-based assumptions. By emphasizing mechanically derived price behavior, it provides traders with a clear framework for analyzing support and resistance in a consistent and unbiased manner across various market conditions.
This indicator introduces a new approach to understanding market structure by focusing on price movement within defined segments, free from behavioral patterns, round numbers, or specific time intervals. While the indicator is time-agnostic in design, it works within the natural time progression of the chart, ensuring that segmentation aligns with the inherent structure of price movement. Broken levels, where price has breached a structural boundary, and Unbroken levels, which remain intact, are visualized with horizontal lines. These structural zones are complemented by dynamically boxed segments that contextualize both historical and ongoing price behavior.
By offering an objective perspective, the Non-Psychological Levels indicator complements psychology-based tools, helping traders explore market dynamics from multiple angles. When structural levels align with psychological zones, they reinforce critical price areas; when they differ, they provide opportunities to analyze price behavior from an alternative lens. This indicator is designed as both an educational framework and a practical tool, encouraging a deeper understanding of structural price behavior in technical analysis.
⭕ THEORY AND CONCEPT ⭕
The Non-Psychological Levels indicator is grounded in the principle of analyzing price behavior without reliance on psychological assumptions or time-based factors. Its primary purpose is to provide a structural framework for identifying support and resistance levels by focusing solely on price movement within mechanically defined segments. By removing external influences such as sentiment, time intervals, or market sessions, the indicator offers an unbiased lens through which traders can observe price dynamics.
Non-psychology, as defined here, refers to an approach that excludes behavioral and emotional patterns—like fear, greed, or herd mentality—from price analysis. Traditional tools often depend on these patterns to identify zones such as pivots or Fibonacci retracements, but these methods can be inconsistent in volatile markets. In contrast, the Non-Psychological Levels indicator focuses entirely on what price is doing, free from assumptions about trader behavior or external time constraints.
The indicator’s time-agnostic and mechanically driven design segments price action into consistent ranges, highlighting "Broken" levels (where price breaches structural boundaries) and "Unbroken" levels (where price holds). These structural zones remain unaffected by subjective or external influences, ensuring clarity and consistency across different markets and timeframes. By doing so, the indicator reveals a pure view of price structure, independent of psychological biases.
Importantly, the Non-Psychological Levels indicator is not intended to replace psychology-based tools but to complement them. When its structural levels align with psychological zones like round numbers or session highs/lows, the significance of these areas is reinforced. Conversely, when the levels differ, the contrast provides traders with alternative insights into market dynamics. This dual perspective—blending mechanical objectivity with behavioral analysis—enhances the depth and flexibility of market evaluation.
The following principles outline the theoretical foundation of the indicator and its unique contribution to structural price analysis:
Time-Agnostic Design : The indicator avoids reliance on time-based factors like daily opens, session intervals, or specific events. Instead, it segments price action using bar indexes, ensuring that structural levels are identified independently of external time variables. While the x-axis of a chart inherently represents time, this indicator abstracts away its influence, allowing traders to focus purely on price movement without the bias of temporal context.
Mechanical and Neutral Framework : Every calculation within the indicator is predetermined by a set of mechanical rules, ensuring no subjective input or interpretation affects the results. This objectivity guarantees that levels are derived solely from observed price behavior, providing a reliable framework that traders can trust to remain consistent across different assets, timeframes, and market conditions.
Broken and Unbroken Levels : Broken levels represent zones where price has breached a structural boundary, while Unbroken levels highlight areas where price has consistently respected its range. This distinction provides a clear and systematic method for identifying key support and resistance levels, offering insights into where future price interactions are most likely to occur.
Neutral Price Behavior : By dividing price action into equal segments, the indicator removes the influence of external factors like trader sentiment or psychological expectations. Each segment independently determines significant levels based purely on price action, enabling a structural view of the market that abstracts away behavioral or emotional biases.
Complement to Psychological Tools : While the indicator itself avoids behavioral assumptions, its levels can align with psychological zones like round numbers, pivots, or Fibonacci levels. When these structural and psychological levels overlap, it reinforces the importance of key areas, while divergences offer opportunities to examine price behavior from a new perspective.
Educational Value : The indicator encourages traders to explore the contrast between structural and psychological analysis. By introducing a framework that isolates price behavior from external influences, it challenges traditional methods of technical analysis, fostering deeper insights into market structure and behavior.
🔍 UNDERSTANDING STRUCTURAL LEVELS 🔍
The Non-Psychological Levels indicator offers a straightforward yet powerful way to understand market structure by segmenting price action into mechanically defined ranges. This segmentation highlights two key elements: "Broken" levels, where price has breached structural boundaries, and "Unbroken" levels, which remain intact and respected by price action. Together, these components create a framework for identifying potential areas of support and resistance.
Broken Levels : These are structural boundaries that price has surpassed, indicating areas where previous support or resistance failed. Broken levels often signal transitions in price behavior, such as shifts in momentum or the start of trending movements. They provide insight into zones where price has already tested and moved beyond.
Unbroken Levels : These levels remain intact within a given price segment, marking areas where price has consistently respected boundaries. Unbroken levels are particularly useful for identifying potential reversal points or zones of continued support or resistance. Their persistence across price action often makes them reliable indicators of market structure.
The visual segmentation of price action into distinct ranges allows traders to observe how price transitions between structural zones. For example:
- Clusters of Unbroken levels near the current price may suggest strong support or resistance, offering areas of interest for reversals or breakouts.
- Gaps between Unbroken levels highlight areas of price inefficiency or low interaction, which may become significant if revisited.
By focusing solely on structural price behavior, the Non-Psychological Levels indicator enables traders to analyze price independently of time or psychological factors. This makes it a valuable tool for understanding price dynamics objectively, whether used on its own or alongside other indicators.

Below, we outline each setting and its impact on the chart, along with examples to illustrate their functionality.
Custom Settings
Sensitivity : This setting adjusts the balance between detailed and broader structural levels by controlling the number of segments. Higher values result in more segments, revealing finer price levels, while lower values consolidate segments to highlight major price movements.
Source : Allows the user to choose between 'Wick' or 'Close' for detecting levels. Selecting 'Wick' emphasizes the absolute highs and lows of price action, while 'Close' focuses on closing prices within each segment.
Level Labels : Configures the visual representation of price levels, allowing users to toggle between price values, symbols (▲ ▼), or disabling labels altogether. This setting ensures clarity in how Broken and Unbroken levels are displayed on the chart.
Unbroken Levels : - - - Users can customize the colors and label styles for Unbroken levels, which highlight areas where price has respected structural boundaries.
Broken Levels : -|- Similar to Unbroken levels, users can specify the visual appearance of Broken levels, including color customization for Broken highs and lows. These settings help distinguish areas where price has breached a structural boundary.
Projection Options : This setting allows users to control how broken and unbroken levels are visually extended on the chart. The Future option projects lines forward to the right of the current price, showing potential future relevance of levels. The All option extends lines both forward and backward, providing a comprehensive view of how levels align with historical and potential future price action. The None option disables projections, keeping the chart focused solely on current segment levels without any extensions.
Segments : Includes options for customizing the segment visualization:
- Live Segment : Toggles the display of a highlighted box representing the current developing segment, helping users focus on ongoing price action.
- Boxes : Allows users to display filled boxes around each segment for additional visual emphasis.
- Segment Colors : Users can define separate colors for support (lower) and resistance (upper) segments, making it easier to interpret directional trends.
- Boundaries : Enables or disables vertical lines to mark segment boundaries, providing a clearer view of structural divisions.
Repaint : This setting allows users to enable or disable triangle labels within the live segment. When enabled, the triangles dynamically update to reflect real-time price behavior during the live bar but will repaint until the bar is fully confirmed. Disabling this option prevents the triangles from appearing during the live bar, reducing potential confusion as they may otherwise flash on and off during price updates. This setting ensures users can choose their preferred visualization while maintaining clarity in real-time analysis.
Color Settings : Offers extensive customization for all visual elements, including Broken and Unbroken levels, segment boundaries, and live segments. These settings ensure the indicator can adapt to individual preferences for chart readability.
🖼️ CHART EXAMPLES 🖼️
The following chart examples illustrate different configurations and features of the Non-Psychological Levels indicator. These examples highlight how the indicator’s settings influence the visualization of structural price behavior, helping traders understand its functionality in various scenarios.
Broken and Unbroken Levels : Orange prices are Broken HIghs. Blue prices are Broken Lows. Green and Red are Unbroken.
Boundaries : Enable Boundaries to visualize segments.
High Sensitivity Setting : A high sensitivity setting produces fewer segments and levels, emphasizing broader price ranges and major structural zones. This configuration is better suited for higher timeframes or identifying overarching trends.
Low Sensitivity Setting : A low sensitivity setting results in a greater number of segments and levels, offering a granular view of price structure. This configuration is ideal for analyzing detailed price movements on lower timeframes.
Live Segment with Triangles Enabled : This example shows the live segment box with triangle labels enabled. These triangles update dynamically during the live bar but may repaint until the bar is confirmed, helping traders observe real-time price behavior.
Broken and Unbroken Levels : This example highlights Broken levels (where price has breached structural boundaries and are drawn through subsequent price action) and Unbroken levels (where price has respected structural boundaries). These distinctions visually identify areas of potential support and resistance.
Broken and Unbroken Levels with Projection: All : This example demonstrates the "Project All" feature, where broken and unbroken levels are extended both forward and backward on the chart. This visualization highlights historical and potential future support and resistance zones, helping traders better understand how price interacts with these structural levels over time.
Segment Boxes with Boundaries : Filled boxes around individual segments visually distinguish each price interval, offering clarity in observing structural price transitions.
📊 SUMMARY 📊
The Non-Psychological Levels indicator provides a unique framework for analyzing structural price behavior through the identification of Broken and Unbroken levels. These levels act as a mechanical representation of support and resistance, independent of psychological biases or time-based factors. By focusing purely on price movement within defined segments, the indicator offers a neutral and consistent approach to understanding market dynamics.
This method complements traditional tools by providing an unbiased perspective. When structural levels align with psychological zones—such as round numbers or session-based highs and lows—they reinforce the significance of these areas as key price zones. When they diverge, the indicator introduces an alternative view, prompting further exploration of price behavior. This dual perspective enhances the depth of analysis by combining the mechanical and behavioral aspects of price action.
The Non-Psychological Levels indicator is not designed to generate trading signals or predict future price movements but serves as a visual and educational tool. Its adaptability across all markets and timeframes allows traders to integrate it into their broader strategies. By highlighting structural price dynamics, the indicator offers a fresh perspective on market analysis while remaining compatible with other technical tools.
⚙️ COMPATIBILITY AND LIMITATIONS ⚙️
Asset Compatibility :
The Non-Psychological Levels indicator is compatible with all asset classes, including cryptocurrencies, forex, stocks, and commodities. It can be applied to any chart or timeframe, making it a flexible tool for structural price analysis. Users should adjust the Sensitivity setting to ensure the segmentation aligns with the price behavior of the specific asset being analyzed. For instance, higher sensitivity values are more suitable for assets with large price ranges, while lower values work well for assets with tighter ranges.
Visual Range Dependency :
The indicator is optimized to perform calculations only within the visible range of the chart. This is a significant advantage, as it prevents unnecessary calculations and maintains efficient performance. However, because of this dependency, levels may appear to "recalculate" when the chart is zoomed in or out quickly or shifted abruptly. While this does not affect the integrity of the levels, it may cause a temporary lag as the indicator adjusts to the new visual range.
Persistence of Levels Beyond Visibility :
Even if levels are not visible on the chart due to zoom or scroll settings, they still exist in the background and are recalculated when revisited. This ensures that the structural price analysis remains consistent, regardless of the chart view.
Box Limitations in Pine Script :
The indicator is subject to Pine Script's inherent limitation of 500 boxes. This means that no more than 500 segments or level boxes can be drawn on the chart simultaneously. For most configurations, this limitation is mitigated by focusing on the visual range, but users employing very low sensitivity settings may exceed the limit. In such cases, only the most recent 500 boxes will be displayed, potentially omitting earlier segments.
Lag with Low Sensitivity Settings :
When sensitivity is set to a low value, the indicator creates many more segments, resulting in finer granularity and a higher number of boxes. While this provides detailed structural levels, it may increase the likelihood of exceeding Pine Script’s 500-box limit or cause a temporary lag when rendering a dense set of boxes over a wide visual range. Users should adjust sensitivity to balance detail with performance, especially on assets with high volatility or broad price ranges.
Live Segment Caution :
The live segment box updates in real time to reflect price movements as the segment is still developing. Since the segment high and segment low are not yet finalized, users should interpret this feature as a dynamic visualization of current price behavior rather than a definitive structural analysis. This ensures clarity during ongoing price action while maintaining the integrity of the indicator's framework.
Cross-Market Versatility :
The indicator’s time-agnostic and mechanical design ensures that it functions identically across all markets and timeframes. However, users should consider the unique characteristics of different markets when interpreting the results, as certain assets (e.g., highly volatile cryptocurrencies) may require sensitivity adjustments for optimal segmentation.
Visual Range Dependency: Levels recalculate efficiently within the chart's visible range but may lag temporarily when zooming or scrolling quickly.
These considerations ensure that the Non-Psychological Levels indicator remains robust and versatile while highlighting some inherent limitations of Pine Script and real-time recalculations. Users can mitigate these constraints by carefully adjusting sensitivity and understanding how the visual range dependency affects performance.
⚠️ DISCLAIMER ⚠️
The Non-Psychological Levels indicator is a visual analysis tool and is not designed as a predictive or trading signal indicator. Its primary purpose is to highlight structural price levels, providing an objective framework for understanding support and resistance within mechanically segmented price action.
The indicator operates within the visible range of the chart to ensure efficiency and adaptiveness, but this recalculation should not be interpreted as a forecast of future price behavior. While the structural levels may align with significant price zones in hindsight, they are purely a reflection of observed price dynamics and should not be used as standalone trading signals.
This indicator is intended as an educational and visual aid to complement other analysis methods. Users are encouraged to integrate it into a broader trading strategy and make adjustments to the settings based on their individual needs and market conditions.

Volume/Price Divergence v2The "Volume/Price Divergence v2" indicator is designed to analyze the relationship between volume and price movements in a financial market. It helps traders identify potential divergences that may indicate a change in market trends. Here’s a breakdown of how it works:
### Key Components
1. **Volume Calculation**:
- **Buying Volume**: This is calculated based on the relationship between the closing price and the high/low range. If the closing price is closer to the low, more volume is attributed to buying.
- **Selling Volume**: Conversely, if the closing price is closer to the high, more volume is considered selling.
The formulas used are:
```pinescript
buyVolume = high == low ? 0 : volume * (close - low) / (high - low)
sellVolume = high == low ? 0 : volume * (high - close) / (high - low)
```
2. **Plotting Volume**:
- The total volume is plotted in red and buying volume is plotted in teal. This helps visualize the volume distribution during different price movements.
3. **Rate of Change (ROC)**:
- The indicator calculates the rate of change for both volume and price over a specified period. This allows traders to see how volume and price are changing relative to each other.
```pinescript
roc = source / source
roc2 = source2 / source2
```
4. **Volume/Price Divergence (VPD)**:
- The VPD is derived from the ratio of the ROC of volume to the ROC of price. This ratio helps identify divergences:
- A VPD significantly above 10 may indicate strong divergence, suggesting that price movements are not supported by volume.
- A VPD around 1 indicates that volume and price are moving in harmony.
5. **Horizontal Lines**:
- The indicator includes horizontal lines at levels 10 (high divergence) and 1 (low divergence), serving as visual cues for traders to assess the market's state.
### Interpretation
- **Divergence**: If price makes a new high but volume does not follow (or vice versa), it may signal a potential reversal or weakness in the trend.
- **Volume Trends**: Analyzing the buying vs. selling volume can provide insights into market sentiment, helping traders make informed decisions.
- **Potential for a Strong Move**: A high VPD during a breakout indicates that while volume is increasing, the price isn’t moving significantly, suggesting that a big price move could be imminent.
- **Caution Before Entry**: Traders should be aware that the lack of price movement relative to high volume may signal an impending volatility spike, which could lead to a rapid price change in either direction.
Overall, this indicator is useful for traders looking to gauge the strength of price movements and identify potential reversals or breakouts based on volume trends.
ATR Price Range Prediction V.2### ATR Price Range Prediction V.2
This script calculates the expected high and low prices for the current day based on the Average True Range (ATR) and displays the proportion of days where the daily range (high - low) is greater than or equal to the ATR. Additionally, the script provides an option to adjust the size of the text displayed in the top-right corner of the chart.
#### How It Works
1. **ATR Calculation**: The script calculates the ATR for a specified period (`atrPeriod`). ATR is a measure of volatility that represents the average range between the high and low prices over a specified number of periods.
2. **Expected High and Low Calculation**:
- **Expected High**: Calculated by adding the ATR value to the low price of the current day.
- **Expected Low**: Calculated by subtracting the ATR value from the high price of the current day.
3. **Proportion Calculation**: The script calculates the proportion of days where the daily range (high - low) is greater than or equal to the ATR value. This proportion is updated in real-time as new data comes in.
4. **Table Display**: Instead of displaying labels on each candle, the script shows the expected high, expected low, and the calculated proportion in a table located at the top-right corner of the chart. The size of the text in this table can be adjusted using the `Table Size` input.
5. **Color Coding**: The script changes the color of the bars to yellow if the daily range is greater than or equal to the ATR value, making it easy to identify these bars visually.
#### How to Use
- **ATR Period (`atrPeriod`)**: Adjust the period for the ATR calculation using the input parameter. The default value is 14.
- **Table Size (`tableSizeOption`)**: Choose the size of the text displayed in the table. Options include `tiny`, `small`, `normal`, `large`, and `huge`.
- **Expected High and Low**: Use the green and red lines to identify potential target prices or stop-loss levels for your trades. The green line represents the expected high, and the red line represents the expected low.
- **Proportion**: The table in the top-right corner of the chart shows the proportion of days where the daily range is greater than or equal to the ATR value. This can provide insight into the volatility of the asset.
- **Color Coding**: Yellow bars indicate days where the daily range is greater than or equal to the ATR value.

Futures Auto Levels [NariCapitalTrading]Futures Auto Levels Indicator
Introduction
The "Futures Auto Levels" (FAL) indicator shows the previous day's levels, weekly open, high, low, and the Initial Balance Range (IBR).
Indicator Components
The FAL indicator comprises the following components:
Previous Day's Levels: These include the open, high, low, and close of the previous trading day. They are represented on the chart by lines and labels, helping to identify significant price levels from the prior session.
Weekly Open, High, Low: These levels represent the open, high, and low prices of the current trading week.
Initial Balance Range (IBR): The IBR is calculated based on the price range during the first 60 minutes of the trading day. It helps identify initial trading range and potential breakout levels.
How to Use the Indicator
1. Previous Day's Levels:
Monitor the previous day's open, high, low, and close to identify key support and resistance levels.
Use these levels to gauge market sentiment and potential price reversals.
2. Weekly Open, High, Low:
Pay attention to the weekly open, high, and low to understand the market's behavior within the weekly timeframe.
These levels can act as reference points for setting profit targets and stop-loss orders.
3. Initial Balance Range (IBR):
Watch for price movements within the IBR to identify potential trading opportunities.
Breakouts above or below the IBR may signal the beginning of a new trend or continuation of the current trend.
Suggested/Potential Strategies
Reversal Trading: Look for price reversals around previous day's levels, especially when they coincide with other technical indicators or significant support/resistance zones.
Trend Following: Follow the trend by trading breakouts above/below the IBR or weekly high/low levels. Use trailing stops to capture profits while the trend remains intact.
Range Trading: Trade within the IBR when the market is consolidating. Buy near the IBR low and sell near the IBR high, with tight stop-loss orders to manage risk.
Conclusion
The Futures Auto Levels indicator is designed to help incorporate levels into trading analysis and trading strategies to improve profitability and consistency.
ATR Bands with Optional Risk/Reward Colors█ OVERVIEW
This indicator projects ATR bands and, optionally, colors them based on a risk/reward advantage for those who trade breakouts/breakdowns using moving averages as partial or full exit points.
█ DEFINITIONS
► True Range
The True Range is a measure of the volatility of a financial asset and is defined as the maximum difference among one of the following values:
- The high of the current period minus the low of the current period.
- The absolute value of the high of the current period minus the closing price of the previous period.
- The absolute value of the low of the current period minus the closing price of the previous period.
► Average True Range
The Average True Range was developed by J. Welles Wilder Jr. and was introduced in his 1978 book titled "New Concepts in Technical Trading Systems". It is calculated as an average of the true range values over a certain number of periods (usually 14) and is commonly used to measure volatility and set stop-loss and profit targets (1).
For example, if you are looking at a daily chart and you want to calculate the 14-day ATR, you would take the True Range of the previous 14 days, calculate their average, and this would be the ATR for that day. The process is then repeated every day to obtain a series of ATR values over time.
The ATR can be smoothed using different methods, such as the Simple Moving Average (SMA), the Exponential Moving Average (EMA), or others, depending on the user's preferences or analysis needs.
► ATR Bands
The ATR bands are created by adding or subtracting the ATR from a reference point (usually the closing price). This process generates bands around the central point that expand and contract based on market volatility, allowing traders to assess dynamic support and resistance levels and to adapt their trading strategies to current market conditions.
█ INDICATOR
► ATR Bands
The indicator provides all the essential parameters for calculating the ATR: period length, time frame, smoothing method, and multiplier.
It is then possible to choose the reference point from which to create the bands. The most commonly used reference points are Open, High, Low, and Close, but you can also choose the commonly used candle averages: HL2, HLC3, HLCC4, OHLC4. Among these, there is also a less common "OC2", which represents the average of the candle body. Additionally, two parameters have been specifically created for this indicator: Open/Close and High/Low.
With the "Open/Close" parameter, the upper band is calculated from the higher value between Open and Close, while the lower one is calculated from the lower value between Open and Close. In the case of bullish candles, therefore, the Close value is taken as the starting point for the upper band and the Open value for the lower one; conversely, in bearish candles, the Open value is used for the upper band and the Close value for the lower band. This setting can be useful for precautionally generating broader bands when trading with candlesticks like hammers or inverted hammers.
The "High/Low" parameter calculates the upper band starting from the High and the lower band starting from the Low. Among all the available options, this one allows drawing the widest bands.
Other possible options to improve the drawing of ATR bands, aligning them with the price action, are:
• Doji Smoothing: When the current candle is a doji (having the same Open and Close price), the bands assume the values they had on the previous candle. This can be useful to avoid steep fluctuations of the bands themselves.
• Extend to High/Low: Extends the bands to the High or Low values when they exceed the value of the band.
• Round Last Cent: Expands the upper band by one cent if the price ends with x.x9, and the lower band if the price ends with x.x1. This function only works when the asset's tick is 0.01.
► Risk/Reward Advantage
The indicator optionally colors the ATR bands after setting a breakpoint, one or two risk/reward ratios, and a series of moving averages. This function allows you to know in advance whether entering a trade can provide an advantage over the risk. The band is colored when the ratio between the distance from the break point to the band and the distance from the break point to the first available moving average reaches at least the set ratio value. It is possible to set two colorings, one for a minimum risk/reward ratio and one for an optimal risk/reward ratio.
The break point can be chosen between High/Low (High in case of breakout, Low in case of breakdown) or Open/Close (on breakouts, Close with bullish candles or Open with bearish candles; on breakdowns, Close with bearish candles or Open with bullish candles).
It is possible to choose up to 10 moving averages of various types, including the VWAP with the Anchor Period (2).
Depending on the "Price to MA" setting, the bands can be individually or simultaneously colored.
By selecting "Single Direction," the risk/reward calculation is performed only when all moving averages are above or below the break point, resulting in only one band being colored at a time. For this reason, when the break point is in between the moving averages, the calculation is not executed. This setting can be useful for strategies involving price movement from a level towards a series of specific moving averages (for example, in reversals starting from a certain level towards the VWAP with possible partial take profits on some previous moving averages, or simply in trend following towards one or more moving averages).
Choosing "Both Directions" the risk/reward ratio is calculated based on the first available moving averages both above and below the price. This setting is useful for those who operate in range bound markets or simply take advantage of movements between moving averages.
█ NOTE
This script may not be suitable for scalping strategies that require immediate entries due to the inability to know the ATR of a candle in advance until its closure. Once the candle is closed, you should have time to place a stop or stop-limit order, so your strategy should not anticipate an immediate start with the next candle. Even more conveniently, if your strategy involves an entry on a pullback, you can place a limit order at the breakout level.
