Description
The Ticker Pulse Meter Basic is a dynamic Pine Script v6 indicator designed to provide traders with a visual representation of a stock’s price position relative to its short-term and long-term ranges, enabling clear entry and exit signals for long-only trading strategies. By calculating three normalized metrics—Percent Above Long & Above Short, Percent Above Long & Below Short, and Percent Below Long & Below Short—this indicator offers a unique "pulse" of market sentiment, plotted as stacked area charts in a separate pane. With customizable lookback periods, thresholds, and signal plotting options, it empowers traders to identify optimal entry points and profit-taking levels. The indicator leverages Pine Script’s force_overlay feature to plot signals on either the main price chart or the indicator pane, making it versatile for various trading styles.
Key Features
Pulse Meter Metrics:
Computes three percentages based on short-term (default: 50 bars) and long-term (default: 200 bars) lookback periods:
Percent Above Long & Above Short: Measures price strength when above both short and long ranges (green area).
Percent Above Long & Below Short: Indicates mixed momentum (orange area).
Percent Below Long & Below Short: Signals weakness when below both ranges (red area).
Flexible Signal Plotting:
Toggle between plotting entry (blue dots) and exit (white dots) signals on the main price chart (location.abovebar/belowbar) or in the indicator pane (location.top/bottom) using the Plot Signals on Main Chart option.
Entry/Exit Logic:
Long Entry: Triggered when Percent Above Long & Above Short crosses above the high threshold (default: 20%) and Percent Below Long & Below Short is below the low threshold (default: 40%).
Long Exit: Triggered when Percent Above Long & Above Short crosses above the profit-taking level (default: 95%).
Visual Enhancements:
Plots stacked area charts with semi-transparent colors (green, orange, red) for intuitive trend analysis.
Displays threshold lines for entry (high/low) and profit-taking levels.
Includes a ticker and timeframe table in the top-right corner for quick reference.
Alert Conditions: Supports alerts for long entry and exit signals, integrable with TradingView’s alert system for automated trading.
Technical Innovation: Combines normalized price metrics with Pine Script v6’s force_overlay for seamless signal integration on the price chart or indicator pane.
Technical Details
Calculation Logic:
Uses confirmed bars (barstate.isconfirmed) to calculate metrics, ensuring reliability.
Short-term percentage: (close - lowest(low, lookback_short)) / (highest(high, lookback_short) - lowest(low, lookback_short)).
Long-term percentage: (close - lowest(low, lookback_long)) / (highest(high, lookback_long) - lowest(low, lookback_long)).
Derived metrics:
pct_above_long_above_short = (pct_above_long * pct_above_short) * 100.
pct_above_long_below_short = (pct_above_long * (1 - pct_above_short)) * 100.
pct_below_long_below_short = ((1 - pct_above_long) * (1 - pct_above_short)) * 100.
Signal Plotting:
Entry signals (long_entry) use ta.crossover to detect when pct_above_long_above_short crosses above entryThresholdhigh and pct_below_long_below_short is below entryThresholdlow.
Exit signals (long_exit) use ta.crossover for pct_above_long_above_short crossing above profitTake.
Signals are plotted as tiny circles with force_overlay=true for main chart or standard plotting for the indicator pane.
Performance Considerations: Optimized for efficiency by calculating metrics only on confirmed bars and using lightweight plotting functions.
How to Use
Add to Chart:
Copy the script into TradingView’s Pine Editor and apply it to your chart.
Configure Settings:
Short Lookback Period: Adjust the short-term lookback (default: 50 bars) for sensitivity.

X OROverview
Designed to plot hourly opening ranges (ORs) on an intraday chart. It primarily serves as a trading tool for assessing market direction and potential trading opportunities by analyzing price action relative to key OHLC (Open, High, Low, Close) levels within each hourly range.
The code provided is for each hour sessions from 2:00 AM to 3:00 PM for a complete session-based framework. In addition there is the RTH open range
Purpose
The core purpose of this indicator is to:
✅ Define each hourly range (based on the session’s opening bar) by recording the high and low of that range.
✅ Extend this range into the following bars for visual reference — serving as dynamic support and resistance zones.
✅ Monitor price action relative to each hourly OR, helping traders evaluate market direction and structure trades using concepts like:
Breakouts above/below the OR high/low.
Rejections or consolidations within the OR.
Continuation or reversal signals tied to each OR.
Key Features
The script marks the first bar of the session as the OR session start.
During this bar, it initializes:
Opening price
Session high
Session low
These levels form the initial range.
🔹 Dynamic Range Tracking
Throughout the one-minute OR session:
The highest and lowest prices are updated in real time, capturing intra-hour volatility.
A visual background box is drawn to highlight the OR range on the chart.
🔹 Range Extension
The script defines an extended session period after the initial OR (e.g., 2:00 AM-2:45 AM for the 2:00 AM session).
During this extension period:
The box persists on the chart, providing a contextual zone that traders can use as a dynamic support/resistance area.
🔹 Visual Representation
Transparent colored boxes highlight each session’s OR visually on the chart.
These boxes help traders easily identify whether price is trading:
Inside the OR
Breaking above the high (potential bullish continuation)
Breaking below the low (potential bearish continuation)
Application in Trading
🔍 Trading the Opening Range Breakout
Traders often use the OR high and low as breakout triggers. For example:
A price break above the OR high may signal bullish momentum.
A break below the OR low may signal bearish momentum.
⚖️ Support and Resistance
Even if breakouts fail, the OR can act as a pivot zone — offering areas for:
Stop placements
Target levels
Entry confirmations for fade trades or mean reversion strategies.
🕒 Session Awareness
By defining each hour’s OR individually (from 2:00 AM to 3:00 PM), traders can:
Analyze price behavior within each session.
Recognize when liquidity or volatility increases (e.g. around overlapping sessions like London open or New York open).
Summary
This Pine Script indicator provides a powerful framework for visualizing and trading hourly opening ranges. It enhances intraday analysis by:
Structuring price action within hourly boxes.
Highlighting key price levels relative to OHLC concepts.
Helping traders make more informed decisions by assessing price behavior around these critical ranges.
Dynamic Range Filter with Trend Candlesticks (Zeiierman)█ Overview
Dynamic Range Filter with Trend Candlesticks (Zeiierman) is a volatility-responsive trend engine that adapts in real-time to market structure, offering a clean and intelligent visualization of directional bias. It blends dynamic range calculation with customizable smoothing techniques and layered trend confirmation logic, making it ideal for traders who rely on clear trend direction, structural range analysis, and momentum-based candlestick signals.
By measuring scaled volatility over configurable lengths and applying advanced moving average techniques, this indicator filters out market noise while preserving true directional intent. Complementing this, a dual-trend system (range-based and candle-based) enhances clarity and responsiveness, particularly during shifting market conditions.
█ How It Works
⚪ Scaled Volatility Band Calculation
At the core lies a volatility engine that constructs adaptive range bands around price using smoothed high/low calculations. The bands are dynamically adjusted using:
High/Low Smoothing – Applies a moving average to the raw high and low data before calculating the range.
Scaled Range Volatility – A 2.618 multiplier scales the distance between smoothed highs and lows, forming a responsive volatility envelope.
Band Multiplier – Controls how wide the upper/lower range bands extend from the mean.
This filtering process minimizes false signals and highlights only structurally meaningful moves.
⚪ Multi-Type Smoothing Engine
Users can choose from a wide array of smoothing algorithms for trend construction, including:
HMA (default), SMA, EMA, RMA
KAMA – Adapts to market volatility using efficiency ratios.
VIDYA – Momentum-sensitive smoothing using CMO logic.
FRAMA – Dynamically adjusts to fractal dimension in price.
Super Smoother – Ideal for eliminating aliasing in range signals.
This provides the trader with fine-tuned control over reactivity vs. smoothness.
⚪ Trend Detection (Dual Engine)
The indicator includes two independent trend tracking systems:
Main Trend Filter – Based on adaptive volatility band shifts.
Candle Trend Filter – A second-tier confirmation using smoothed candle data, ideal for directional candles and confirmation entries.
█ How to Use
⚪ Trend Confirmation
Use the Trend Line and colored candlesticks for high-probability entries in the trend direction. The more trend layers that align, the higher the confidence.
⚪ Reversal Zones
When the price reaches the outer bands or fails to break them, look for candle color shifts or a crossover in the range to anticipate possible reversals or consolidations.
█ Settings
Scaled Volatility Length – Controls the lookback used to stabilize the base volatility band.
MA Type & Length – Choose and fine-tune the smoothing method (HMA, EMA, KAMA, etc.)
High/Low Smoother – Pre-smoothing for structural high/low banding.
Band Multiplier – Adjusts the width of the dynamic bands.
Trend Length (Candles) – Length used for candle-based trend confirmation.

ICT Opening Range Projections (tristanlee85)ICT Opening Range Projections
This indicator visualizes key price levels based on ICT's (Inner Circle Trader) "Opening Range" concept. This 30-minute time interval establishes price levels that the algorithm will refer to throughout the session. The indicator displays these levels, including standard deviation projections, internal subdivisions (quadrants), and the opening price.
🟪 What It Does
The Opening Range is a crucial 30-minute window where market algorithms establish significant price levels. ICT theory suggests this range forms the basis for daily price movement.
This script helps you:
Mark the high, low, and opening price of each session.
Divide the range into quadrants (premium, discount, and midpoint/Consequent Encroachment).
Project potential price targets beyond the range using configurable standard deviation multiples .
🟪 How to Use It
This tool aids in time-based technical analysis rooted in ICT's Opening Range model, helping you observe price interaction with algorithmic levels.
Example uses include:
Identifying early structural boundaries.
Observing price behavior within premium/discount zones.
Visualizing initial displacement from the range to anticipate future moves.
Comparing price reactions at projected standard deviation levels.
Aligning price action with significant times like London or NY Open.
Note: This indicator provides a visual framework; it does not offer trade signals or interpretations.
🟪 Key Information
Time Zone: New York time (ET) is required on your chart.
Sessions: Supports multiple sessions, including NY midnight, NY AM, NY PM, and three custom timeframes.
Time Interval: Supports multi-timeframe up to 15 minutes. Best used on a 1-minute chart for accuracy.
🟪 Session Options
The Opening Range interval is configurable for up to 6 sessions:
Pre-defined ICT Sessions:
NY Midnight: 12:00 AM – 12:30 AM ET
NY AM: 9:30 AM – 10:00 AM ET
NY PM: 1:30 PM – 2:00 PM ET
Custom Sessions:
Three user-defined start/end time pairs.
This example shows a custom session from 03:30 - 04:00:
🟪 Understanding the Levels
The Opening Price is the open of the first 1-minute candle within the chosen session.
At session close, the Opening Range is calculated using its High and Low . An optional swing-based mode uses swing highs/lows for range boundaries.
The range is divided into quadrants by its midpoint ( Consequent Encroachment or CE):
Upper Quadrant: CE to high (premium).
Lower Quadrant: Low to CE (discount).
These subdivisions help visualize internal range dynamics, where price often reacts during algorithmic delivery.
🟪 Working with Ranges
By default, the range is determined by the highest high and lowest low of the 30-minute session:
A range can also be determined by the highest/lowest swing points:
Quadrants outline the premium and discount of a range that price will reference:
Small ranges still follow the same algorithmic logic, but may be deemed insignificant for one's trading. These can be filtered in the settings by specifying a minimum ticks limit. In this example, the range is 42 ticks (10.5 points) but the indicator is configured for 80 ticks (20 points). We can select which levels will plot if the range is below the limit. Here, only the 00:00 opening price is plotted:
You may opt to include the range high/low, quadrants, and projections as well. This will plot a red (configurable) range bracket to indicate it is below the limit while plotting the levels:
🟪 Price Projections
Projections extend beyond the Opening Range using standard deviations, framing the market beyond the initial session and identifying potential targets. You define the standard deviation multiples (e.g., 1.0, 1.5, 2.0).
Both positive and negative extensions are displayed, symmetrically projected from the range's high and low.
The Dynamic Levels option plots only the next projection level once price crosses the previous extreme. For example, only the 0.5 STDEV level plots until price reaches it, then the 1.0 level appears, and so on. This continues up to your defined maximum projections, or indefinitely if standard deviations are set to 0.
This example shows dynamic levels for a total of 6 sessions, only 1 of which meet a configured minimum limit of 50 ticks:
Small ranges followed by significant displacement are impacted the most with the number of levels plotted. You may hide projections when configuring the minimum ticks.
A fixed standard deviation will plot levels in both directions, regardless of the price range. Here, we plot up to 3.0 which hiding projections for small ranges:

CoffeeShopCrypto Supply Demand PPO AdvancedCoffeeShopCrypto PPO Advanced is a structure-aware momentum oscillator and price-trend overlay designed to help traders interpret momentum strength, exhaustion, and continuation across evolving market conditions. It’s not a “buy/sell” signal tool — it's a momentum context tool that helps confirm trend intent.
Original Code derived from the Price Oscillator Indicators (PPO) found in the TradingView Technical Indicators categories. You can view the info and calculation for the original PPO here
www.tradingview.com
Much like the MACD, the PPO uses a couple lagging indicators to present Momentum as a percentage. But it lacks context to market structure.
What It’s Based On
This tool is based on a dual-moving-average PPO oscillator structure (Percentage Price Oscillator) enhanced by:
Oscillator pivot structure: detection of Lower Highs (LH) and Higher Lows (HL) inside the oscillator.
Detection of Supply and Demand Trends via Market Absorption
Ability to transfer its average plots to price action
Detection of Trend Exhaustion
Real-time price-based exhaustion levels: projecting potential future supply and demand using trendlines from weakening momentum.
Integrated fast and slow Moving Averages on price using the same inputs as the oscillator, to visualize alignment between short- and long-term trends.
These elements combine momentum context with price action in a visual, intuitive system.
How It Works
1. Oscillator Structure
LHs (above zero): momentum weakening in uptrends.
HLs (below zero): momentum strengthening in downtrends.
Only valid pivots are shown (e.g., an LH must be preceded by a valid LL).
2. Exhaustion Levels
Green demand lines: price is making new lows, but oscillator prints HL → potential exhaustion.
Red supply lines: price is making new highs, but oscillator prints LH → potential exhaustion.
These lines are future-facing, projecting likely reaction zones based on momentum weakening.
3. Moving Averages on Price
Two MAs are drawn on the price chart:
Fast MA (same length as PPO short input)
Slow MA (same length as PPO long input)
These are not signal lines — they're visual guides for trend alignment.
MA crossover = PO crosses zero. This indicates short- and long-term momentum are syncing — a powerful signal of trend conviction.
When price is above both MAs, and the PO is rising above zero, bullish momentum is dominant.
When price is below both MAs, and the PO is falling below zero, bearish momentum dominates.
How Traders Can Use It
✅ Spot Trend Initiation
Wait for clear trend confirmation in price.
Use PPO Momentum+ to confirm momentum structure is aligned (e.g., HH/HL in oscillator + price above both MAs).
🔁 Track Continuations
In uptrends, look for oscillator HH and HL sequences with price holding above both MAs.
In downtrends, seek LL and LH sequences with price below both MAs.
⚠️ Watch for Exhaustion
Price breaking below red (supply) lines after oscillator LH = bearish exhaustion signal.
Price breaking above green (demand) lines after oscillator HL = bullish exhaustion signal.
These levels act like pre-mapped S/R zones, showing where momentum previously failed and price may react.
Why This Is Different
Momentum tools often lag or mislead when used blindly. This tool visualizes structural failure in momentum and maps potential outcomes. The integration of oscillator and price-based tools ensures traders are always reading context, not just raw signals.
Demand Trendlines
Demand trendlines show us Wykoff's law of "Absorbed Supply Reversal" In real time.
When aggressive selling pressure is persistently absorbed by passive buying interest without significant downward price continuation, and supply becomes exhausted, the market structure shifts as demand regains control—resulting in a directional reversal to the upside.
This commonly happens in a 3 phase interaction of price.
1. Selling pressure is absorbed quickly by buyers.
This PPO tool will calculate the trend of this absorption process
2. After there is a notable Bearish Exhaustion of price action, the PPO tool will draw a trendline of this absorption showing us the potential future prices where aggressive buyers will want to step in at lower prices.
3. After higher lows are defined in the oscillator, you'll see prices react in a strong bullish pattern at this trendline where aggressive buyers stepped in to reverse price action to the upside.
Supply Trendlines
Supply trendlines show us Wykoff's law of "Absorbed Demand Reversal" In real time.
When aggressive buying pressure is persistently absorbed by passive selling interest without significant downward price continuation, and demand becomes exhausted, the market structure shifts as supply regains control—resulting in a directional reversal to the downside.
This commonly happens in a 3 phase interaction of price.
1. Buying pressure is absorbed quickly by sellers.
This PPO tool will calculate the trend of this absorption process.
2. After there is a notable Bullish Exhaustion of price action, the PPO tool will draw a trendline of this absorption showing us the potential future prices where aggressive sellers will want to step in at higher prices.
3. After lower highs are defined in the oscillator, you'll see prices react in a strong bearish pattern at this trendline where aggressive sellers stepped in to reverse price action to the downside.
Lower High and Higher Low Signals
When the oscillator signals Lower Highs or High Lows its only noting that momentum in that trend direction is slowing. THis indicates a coming pause in the market and the proceeding longs of an uptrend or shorts of a downtrend should be taken with caution.
**These LH and HL markers are not reading as divergences in price vs momentum.**
They are simply registering against the highs and lows of itself..
Moving Averages on Price Action
The Oscillator will cross over its ZERO level the same time your Short and Long MAs cross each other. This will indicate that the short term average trend is moving ahead of the long term.
Crossovers are not an entry signal. It's a method in determining you current timeframe trend strength. Always observe price action as it passes through each of your moving averages and compare it to the positioning and direction of the oscillator.
If price dips in between the moving averages while the oscillator still shows a strong trend strength, you can wait for price to move ahead of your fast moving average.
Bar Colors and Signal Line for Trend Strength
Good Bullish Trend = Oscillator above zero + Signal rising below Oscillator
Weak Bullish Trend = Oscillator above zero + Signal above Oscillator
Good Bearish Trend = Oscillator below zero + Signal falling above Oscillator
Weak Bearish Trend = Oscillator below zero + Signal below Oscillator
Bar Colors
Bars are colored to match Oscillator Momentum Strength. Colors are set by user.
Why alter the known PPO (Percentage Price Oscillator) in this manner?
The PPO tool is great for measuring the strength as percentage of price action over and average amount of candles however, with these changes,
you know have the ability to correlate:
Wycoff theory of supply and demand,
Measure the depth of reversals and pullback by price positioning against moving averages,
Project potential reversal and exhaustion pricing,
Visibly note the structure of momentum much like you would note market structure,
Its not enough to know there is momentum. Its better to know
A) Is it enough
B) Is there something in the way which will cause price to push back
C) Does this momentum correlate to the prevailing trend
AllCandlestickPatternsLibraryAll Candlestick Patterns Library
The Candlestick Patterns Library is a Pine Script (version 6) library extracted from the All Candlestick Patterns indicator. It provides a comprehensive set of functions to calculate candlestick properties, detect market trends, and identify various candlestick patterns (bullish, bearish, and neutral). The library is designed for reusability, enabling TradingView users to incorporate pattern detection into their own scripts, such as indicators or strategies.
The library is organized into three main sections:
Trend Detection: Functions to determine market trends (uptrend or downtrend) based on user-defined rules.
Candlestick Property Calculations: A function to compute core properties of a candlestick, such as body size, shadow lengths, and doji characteristics.
Candlestick Pattern Detection: Functions to detect specific candlestick patterns, each returning a tuple with detection status, pattern name, type, and description.
Library Structure
1. Trend Detection
This section includes the detectTrend function, which identifies whether the market is in an uptrend or downtrend based on user-specified rules, such as the relationship between the closing price and Simple Moving Averages (SMAs).
Function: detectTrend
Parameters:
downTrend (bool): Initial downtrend condition.
upTrend (bool): Initial uptrend condition.

sma50 (float): Simple Moving Average over 50 periods.
sma200 (float): Simple Moving Average over 200 periods.
Returns: A tuple indicating the detected trend.
Logic:
If trendRule is "SMA50", a downtrend is detected when p_close < sma50, and an uptrend when p_close > sma50.
If trendRule is "SMA50, SMA200", a downtrend is detected when p_close < sma50 and sma50 < sma200, and an uptrend when p_close > sma50 and sma50 > sma200.

C_HasUpShadow (bool): True if upper shadow exceeds shadowPercent of body.
C_HasDnShadow (bool): True if lower shadow exceeds shadowPercent of body.
C_WhiteBody (bool): True if candle is bullish (p_open < p_close).
C_BlackBody (bool): True if candle is bearish (p_open > p_close).
C_Range (float): Candlestick range (p_high - p_low).
C_IsInsideBar (bool): True if current candle body is inside the previous candle's body.
C_BodyMiddle (float): Midpoint of the candle body.
C_ShadowEquals (bool): True if upper and lower shadows are equal within shadowEqualsPercent.
C_IsDojiBody (bool): True if body size is small relative to range (C_Body <= C_Range * dojiBodyPercent / 100).
C_Doji (bool): True if the candle is a doji (C_IsDojiBody and C_ShadowEquals).
Purpose: These properties are used by pattern detection functions to evaluate candlestick formations.
3. Candlestick Pattern Detection

Tri-Star (Bearish): A three-candle reversal pattern with three doji candles in an uptrend, with gaps between them.
Kicking (Bearish): A two-candle reversal pattern with a bullish marubozu followed by a bearish marubozu gapping down.
Neutral Patterns:
Doji: A single-candle pattern with a very small body, indicating indecision.
Spinning Top White: A single-candle pattern with a small green body and long upper and lower shadows, indicating indecision.
Spinning Top Black: A single-candle pattern with a small red body and long upper and lower shadows, indicating indecision.
Pattern Detection Functions
Each pattern detection function evaluates specific conditions based on candlestick properties (from calculateCandleProperties) and trend conditions (from detectTrend). The functions return:
detected (bool): True if the pattern is detected.
name (string): The name of the pattern (e.g., "On Neck").
type (string): The pattern type ("Bullish", "Bearish", or "Neutral").
description (string): A detailed description of the pattern for use in tooltips or alerts.
For example, the detectOnNeckBearish function checks for a bearish On Neck pattern by verifying a downtrend, a long red candle followed by a short green candle, and specific price relationships.
Usage Example
To use the library in a TradingView indicator, you can import it and call its functions as shown below:
//@version=6
indicator("Candlestick Pattern Detector", overlay=true)
import CandlestickPatternsLibrary as cp
// Calculate SMA for trend detection
sma50 = ta.sma(close, 50)
sma200 = ta.sma(close, 200)
= cp.detectTrend(true, true, "SMA50", close, sma50, sma200)
// Calculate candlestick properties
bodyAvg = ta.ema(math.max(close, open) - math.min(close, open), 14)
= cp.calculateCandleProperties(open, close, high, low, bodyAvg, 5.0, 100.0, 5.0)
// Detect a pattern (e.g., On Neck Bearish)
= cp.detectOnNeckBearish(downTrend, blackBody, longBody, whiteBody, open, close, low, bodyAvg, smallBody, candleRange)
if onNeckDetected
label.new(bar_index, low, onNeckName, style=label.style_label_up, color=color.red, textcolor=color.white, tooltip=onNeckDesc)
// Detect another pattern (e.g., Piercing Bullish)
= cp.detectPiercingBullish(downTrend, blackBody, longBody, whiteBody, open, low, close, bodyMiddle)
if piercingDetected
label.new(bar_index, low, piercingName, style=label.style_label_up, color=color.blue, textcolor=color.white, tooltip=piercingDesc)

PowerHouse SwiftEdge AI v2.10 StrategyOverview
The PowerHouse SwiftEdge AI v2.10 Strategy is a sophisticated trading system designed to identify high-probability trade setups in forex, stocks, and cryptocurrencies. By combining multi-timeframe trend analysis, momentum signals, volume confirmation, and smart money concepts (Change of Character and Break of Structure ), this strategy offers traders a robust tool to capitalize on market trends while minimizing false signals. The strategy’s unique “AI” component analyzes trends across multiple timeframes to provide a clear, actionable dashboard, making it accessible for both novice and experienced traders. The strategy is fully customizable, allowing users to tailor its filters to their trading style.
What It Does
This strategy generates Buy and Sell signals based on a confluence of technical indicators and smart money concepts. It uses:
Multi-Timeframe Trend Analysis: Confirms the market’s direction by analyzing trends on the 1-hour (60M), 4-hour (240M), and daily (D) timeframes.
Momentum Filter: Ensures trades align with strong price movements to avoid choppy markets.
Volume Filter: Validates signals with above-average volume to confirm market participation.
Breakout Filter: Requires price to break key levels for added confirmation.
Smart Money Signals (CHoCH/BOS): Identifies reversals (CHoCH) and trend continuations (BOS) based on pivot points.
AI Trend Dashboard: Summarizes trend strength, confidence, and predictions across timeframes, helping traders make informed decisions without needing to analyze complex data manually.
The strategy also plots dynamic support and resistance trendlines, take-profit (TP) levels, and “Get Ready” signals to alert users of potential setups before they fully develop. Trades are executed with predefined take-profit and stop-loss levels for disciplined risk management.
How It Works
The strategy integrates multiple components to create a cohesive trading system:
Multi-Timeframe Trend Analysis:
The strategy evaluates trends on three timeframes (1H, 4H, Daily) using Exponential Moving Averages (EMA) and Volume-Weighted Average Price (VWAP). A trend is considered bullish if the price is above both the EMA and VWAP, bearish if below, or neutral otherwise.
Signals are only generated when the trend on the user-selected higher timeframe aligns with the trade direction (e.g., Buy signals require a bullish higher timeframe trend). This reduces noise and ensures trades follow the broader market context.
Momentum Filter:
Measures the percentage price change between consecutive bars and compares it to a volatility-adjusted threshold (based on the Average True Range ). This ensures trades are taken only during significant price movements, filtering out low-momentum conditions.
Volume Filter (Optional):
Checks if the current volume exceeds a long-term average and shows positive short-term volume change. This confirms strong market participation, reducing the risk of false breakouts.
Breakout Filter (Optional):
Requires the price to break above (for Buy) or below (for Sell) recent highs/lows, ensuring the signal aligns with a structural shift in the market.
Smart Money Concepts (CHoCH/BOS):
Change of Character (CHoCH): Detects potential reversals when the price crosses under a recent pivot high (for Sell) or over a recent pivot low (for Buy) with a bearish or bullish candle, respectively.
Break of Structure (BOS): Confirms trend continuations when the price breaks below a recent pivot low (for Sell) or above a recent pivot high (for Buy) with strong momentum.
These signals are plotted as horizontal lines with labels, making it easy to visualize key levels.
AI Trend Dashboard:
Combines trend direction, momentum, and volatility (ATR) across timeframes to calculate a trend score. Scores above 0.5 indicate an “Up” trend, below -0.5 indicate a “Down” trend, and otherwise “Neutral.”
Displays a table summarizing trend strength (as a percentage), AI confidence (based on trend alignment), and Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) for market context.
A second table (optional) shows trend predictions for 1H, 4H, and Daily timeframes, helping traders anticipate future market direction.
Dynamic Trendlines:
Plots support and resistance lines based on recent swing lows and highs within user-defined periods (shortTrendPeriod, longTrendPeriod). These lines adapt to market conditions and are colored based on trend strength.
Why This Combination?
The PowerHouse SwiftEdge AI v2.10 Strategy is original because it seamlessly integrates traditional technical analysis (EMA, VWAP, ATR, volume) with smart money concepts (CHoCH, BOS) and a proprietary AI-driven trend analysis. Unlike standalone indicators, this strategy:
Reduces False Signals: By requiring confluence across trend, momentum, volume, and breakout filters, it minimizes trades in choppy or low-conviction markets.
Adapts to Market Context: The ATR-based momentum threshold adjusts dynamically to volatility, ensuring signals remain relevant in both trending and ranging markets.
Simplifies Decision-Making: The AI dashboard distills complex multi-timeframe data into a user-friendly table, eliminating the need for manual analysis.
Leverages Smart Money: CHoCH and BOS signals capture institutional price action patterns, giving traders an edge in identifying reversals and continuations.
The combination of these components creates a balanced system that aligns short-term trade entries with longer-term market trends, offering a unique blend of precision, adaptability, and clarity.
How to Use
Add to Chart:
Apply the strategy to your TradingView chart on a liquid symbol (e.g., EURUSD, BTCUSD, AAPL) with a timeframe of 60 minutes or lower (e.g., 15M, 60M).
Configure Inputs:
Pivot Length: Adjust the number of bars (default: 5) to detect pivot highs/lows for CHoCH/BOS signals. Higher values reduce noise but may delay signals.
Momentum Threshold: Set the base percentage (default: 0.01%) for momentum confirmation. Increase for stricter signals.
Take Profit/Stop Loss: Define TP and SL in points (default: 10 each) for risk management.
Higher/Lower Timeframe: Choose timeframes (60M, 240M, D) for trend filtering. Ensure the chart timeframe is lower than or equal to the higher timeframe.
Filters: Enable/disable momentum, volume, or breakout filters to suit your trading style.
Trend Periods: Set shortTrendPeriod (default: 30) and longTrendPeriod (default: 100) for trendline plotting. Keep below 2000 to avoid buffer errors.

Risk Management: Always use appropriate position sizing and risk management, as the strategy’s TP/SL levels are customizable.
Symbol Compatibility: Test on liquid symbols with sufficient historical data (at least 2000 bars) to avoid buffer errors.
Performance: Backtest thoroughly to optimize settings for your market and timeframe.
ADR% Extension Levels from SMA 50I created this indicator inspired by RealSimpleAriel (a swing trader I recommend following on X) who does not buy stocks extended beyond 4 ADR% from the 50 SMA and uses extensions from the 50 SMA at 7-8-9-10-11-12-13 ADR% to take profits with a 20% position trimming.
RealSimpleAriel's strategy (as I understood it):
-> Focuses on leading stocks from leading groups and industries, i.e., those that have grown the most in the last 1-3-6 months (see on Finviz groups and then select sector-industry).
-> Targets stocks with the best technical setup for a breakout, above the 200 SMA in a bear market and above both the 50 SMA and 200 SMA in a bull market, selecting those with growing Earnings and Sales.
-> Buys stocks on breakout with a stop loss set at the day's low of the breakout and ensures they are not extended beyond 4 ADR% from the 50 SMA.
-> 3-5 day momentum burst: After a breakout, takes profits by selling 1/2 or 1/3 of the position after a 3-5 day upward move.
-> 20% trimming on extension from the 50 SMA: At 7 ADR% (ADR% calculated over 20 days) extension from the 50 SMA, takes profits by selling 20% of the remaining position. Continues to trim 20% of the remaining position based on the stock price extension from the 50 SMA, calculated using the 20-period ADR%, thus trimming 20% at 8-9-10-11 ADR% extension from the 50 SMA. Upon reaching 12-13 ADR% extension from the 50 SMA, considers the stock overextended, closes the remaining position, and evaluates a short.
-> Trailing stop with ascending SMA: Uses a chosen SMA (10, 20, or 50) as the definitive stop loss for the position, depending on the stock's movement speed (preferring larger SMAs for slower-moving stocks or for long-term theses). If the stock's closing price falls below the chosen SMA, the entire position is closed.
In summary:
-->Buy a breakout using the day's low of the breakout as the stop loss (this stop loss is the most critical).
--> Do not buy stocks extended beyond 4 ADR% from the 50 SMA.
--> Sell 1/2 or 1/3 of the position after 3-5 days of upward movement.
--> Trim 20% of the position at each 7-8-9-10-11-12-13 ADR% extension from the 50 SMA.
--> Close the entire position if the breakout fails and the day's low of the breakout is reached.
--> Close the entire position if the price, during the rise, falls below a chosen SMA (10, 20, or 50, depending on your preference).
--> Definitively close the position if it reaches 12-13 ADR% extension from the 50 SMA.
I used Grok from X to create this indicator. I am not a programmer, but based on the ADR% I use, it works.
Below is Grok from X's description of the indicator:
Script Description
The script is a custom indicator for TradingView that displays extension levels based on ADR% relative to the 50-period Simple Moving Average (SMA). Below is a detailed description of its features, structure, and behavior:
1. Purpose of the Indicator
Name: "ADR% Extension Levels from SMA 50".
Objective: Draw horizontal blue lines above and below the 50-period SMA, corresponding to specific ADR% multiples (4, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13). These levels represent potential price extension zones based on the average daily percentage volatility.
Overlay: The indicator is overlaid on the price chart (overlay=true), so the lines and SMA appear directly on the price graph.
2. Configurable Inputs
The indicator allows users to customize parameters through TradingView settings:
SMA Length (smaLength):
Default: 50 periods.
Description: Specifies the number of periods for calculating the Simple Moving Average (SMA). The 50-period SMA serves as the reference point for extension levels.
Constraint: Minimum 1 period.
ADR% Length (adrLength):
Default: 20 periods.
Description: Specifies the number of days to calculate the moving average of the daily high/low ratio, used to determine ADR%.
Constraint: Minimum 1 period.
Scale Factor (scaleFactor):
Default: 1.0.
Description: An optional multiplier to adjust the distance of extension levels from the SMA. Useful if levels are too close or too far due to an overly small or large ADR%.
Constraint: Minimum 0.1, increments of 0.1.
Tooltip: "Adjust if levels are too close or far from SMA".
3. Main Calculations
50-period SMA:
Calculated with ta.sma(close, smaLength) using the closing price (close).
Serves as the central line around which extension levels are drawn.
ADR% (Average Daily Range Percentage):
Formula: 100 * (ta.sma(dhigh / dlow, adrLength) - 1).
Details:
dhigh and dlow are the daily high and low prices, obtained via request.security(syminfo.tickerid, "D", high/low) to ensure data is daily-based, regardless of the chart's timeframe.
The dhigh / dlow ratio represents the daily percentage change.
The simple moving average (ta.sma) of this ratio over 20 days (adrLength) is subtracted by 1 and multiplied by 100 to obtain ADR% as a percentage.
The result is multiplied by scaleFactor for manual adjustments.
Extension Levels:
Defined as ADR% multiples: 4, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13.
Stored in an array (levels) for easy iteration.
For each level, prices above and below the SMA are calculated as:
Above: sma50 * (1 + (level * adrPercent / 100))
Below: sma50 * (1 - (level * adrPercent / 100))
These represent price levels corresponding to a percentage change from the SMA equal to level * ADR%.
4. Visualization
Horizontal Blue Lines:
For each level (4, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 ADR%), two lines are drawn:
One above the SMA (e.g., +4 ADR%).
One below the SMA (e.g., -4 ADR%).
Color: Blue (color.blue).
Style: Solid (style=line.style_solid).
Management:
Each level has dedicated variables for upper and lower lines (e.g., upperLine1, lowerLine1 for 4 ADR%).
Previous lines are deleted with line.delete before drawing new ones to avoid overlaps.
Lines are updated at each bar with line.new(bar_index , level, bar_index, level), covering the range from the previous bar to the current one.
Labels:
Displayed only on the last bar (barstate.islast) to avoid clutter.
For each level, two labels:
Above: E.g., "4 ADR%", positioned above the upper line (style=label.style_label_down).
Below: E.g., "-4 ADR%", positioned below the lower line (style=label.style_label_up).
Color: Blue background, white text.
50-period SMA:
Drawn as a gray line (color.gray) for visual reference.
Diagnostics:
ADR% Plot: ADR% is plotted in the status line (orange, histogram style) to verify the value.
ADR% Label: A label on the last bar near the SMA shows the exact ADR% value (e.g., "ADR%: 2.34%"), with a gray background and white text.
5. Behavior
Dynamic Updating:
Lines update with each new bar to reflect new SMA 50 and ADR% values.
Since ADR% uses daily data ("D"), it remains constant within the same day but changes day-to-day.
Visibility Across All Bars:
Lines are drawn on every bar, not just the last one, ensuring visibility on historical data as well.
Adaptability:
The scaleFactor allows level adjustments if ADR% is too small (e.g., for low-volatility symbols) or too large (e.g., for cryptocurrencies).
Compatibility:
Works on any timeframe since ADR% is calculated from daily data.
Suitable for symbols with varying volatility (e.g., stocks, forex, cryptocurrencies).
6. Intended Use
Technical Analysis: Extension levels represent significant price zones based on average daily volatility. They can be used to:
Identify potential price targets (e.g., take profit at +7 ADR%).
Assess support/resistance zones (e.g., -4 ADR% as support).
Measure price extension relative to the 50 SMA.
Trading: Useful for strategies based on breakouts or mean reversion, where ADR% levels indicate reversal or continuation points.
Debugging: Labels and ADR% plot help verify that values align with the symbol’s volatility.
7. Limitations
Dependence on Daily Data: ADR% is based on daily dhigh/dlow, so it may not reflect intraday volatility on short timeframes (e.g., 1 minute).
Extreme ADR% Values: For low-volatility symbols (e.g., bonds) or high-volatility symbols (e.g., meme stocks), ADR% may require adjustments via scaleFactor.
Graphical Load: Drawing 16 lines (8 upper, 8 lower) on every bar may slow the chart for very long historical periods, though line management is optimized.
ADR% Formula: The formula 100 * (sma(dhigh/dlow, Length) - 1) may produce different values compared to other ADR% definitions (e.g., (high - low) / close * 100), so users should be aware of the context.
8. Visual Example
On a chart of a stock like TSLA (daily timeframe):
The 50 SMA is a gray line tracking the average trend.
Assuming an ADR% of 3%:
At +4 ADR% (12%), a blue line appears at sma50 * 1.12.
At -4 ADR% (-12%), a blue line appears at sma50 * 0.88.
Other lines appear at ±7, ±8, ±9, ±10, ±11, ±12, ±13 ADR%.
On the last bar, labels show "4 ADR%", "-4 ADR%", etc., and a gray label shows "ADR%: 3.00%".
ADR% is visible in the status line as an orange histogram.
9. Code: Technical Structure
Language: Pine Script @version=5.
Inputs: Three configurable parameters (smaLength, adrLength, scaleFactor).
Calculations:
SMA: ta.sma(close, smaLength).
ADR%: 100 * (ta.sma(dhigh / dlow, adrLength) - 1) * scaleFactor.
Levels: sma50 * (1 ± (level * adrPercent / 100)).
Graphics:
Lines: Created with line.new, deleted with line.delete to avoid overlaps.
Labels: Created with label.new only on the last bar.
Plots: plot(sma50) for the SMA, plot(adrPercent) for debugging.
Optimization: Uses dedicated variables for each line (e.g., upperLine1, lowerLine1) for clear management and to respect TradingView’s graphical object limits.
10. Possible Improvements
Option to show lines only on the last bar: Would reduce visual clutter.
Customizable line styles: Allow users to choose color or style (e.g., dashed).
Alert for anomalous ADR%: A message if ADR% is too small or large.
Dynamic levels: Allow users to specify ADR% multiples via input.
Optimization for short timeframes: Adapt ADR% for intraday timeframes.
Conclusion
The script creates a visual indicator that helps traders identify price extension levels based on daily volatility (ADR%) relative to the 50 SMA. It is robust, configurable, and includes debugging tools (ADR% plot and labels) to verify values. The ADR% formula based on dhigh/dlow

Body Percentage of Range (Colored)Short Description:
This indicator measures the dominance of the candle's body relative to its total range (High - Low), providing a visual gauge of intra-candle strength versus indecision. Columns are colored based on whether the body constitutes more or less than a defined percentage (default 50%) of the candle's total height.
Detailed Description:
What it Does:
The "Body Percentage of Range" indicator calculates, for each candle, what percentage of the total price range (High minus Low) is occupied by the candle's body (absolute difference between Open and Close).
A value of 100% means the candle has no wicks (a Marubozu), indicating strong conviction during that period.
A value of 0% means the candle has no body (a Doji), indicating perfect indecision.
Values in between show the relative balance between the directional move (body) and the price exploration/rejection (wicks).
How to Interpret:
The indicator plots this percentage as columns:
Column Height: Represents the percentage of the body relative to the total range. Higher columns indicate a larger body dominance.
Column Color:
Green Columns: Appear when the body percentage is above the user-defined threshold (default 50%). This suggests that the directional move within the candle was stronger than the indecision (wicks). Often seen during trending moves or strong momentum candles.
Red Columns: Appear when the body percentage is at or below the user-defined threshold (default 50%). This suggests that wicks dominate the candle (body is 50% or less of the range), indicating significant indecision, struggle between buyers and sellers, or potential reversals. These are common in choppy, consolidating, or reversal market conditions.
Orange Line (Optional MA): A Simple Moving Average (SMA) of the body percentages is plotted to help smooth the readings and identify broader periods where candle structure indicates more trending (high MA) vs. ranging/indecisive (low MA) characteristics.
Potential Use Cases:
Identifying Choppy vs. Trending Markets: Sustained periods of low, predominantly red columns (and often a low/declining MA) can signal a choppy, range-bound market where trend-following strategies might underperform. Conversely, periods with frequent high, green columns suggest a more trending environment.
Confirming Breakouts/Momentum: High green columns appearing alongside increased volume during a breakout can add conviction to the move's strength.
Spotting Potential Exhaustion/Reversals: A very tall green column after a strong trend, followed immediately by a low red column (like a Doji or Spinning Top pattern appearing on the price chart), might signal potential exhaustion or a pending reversal, indicating indecision has suddenly entered the market.
Filtering Entries: Traders might avoid taking entries (especially trend-following ones) when the indicator shows a consistent pattern of low red columns, suggesting high market indecision.
Settings:
Color Threshold %: Allows you to set the percentage level above which columns turn green (default is 50%).
Smoothing MA Length: Adjusts the lookback period for the Simple Moving Average.
Disclaimer:
This indicator is a tool for technical analysis and should be used in conjunction with other methods (like price action, volume analysis, other indicators) and robust risk management. It does not provide direct buy/sell signals and past performance is not indicative of future results.

Understanding Market Dynamics Through RSI + MFI Momentum Mapper
At its core, this indicator provides a unique lens to visualize market momentum by combining two complementary oscillators:
1. Combined Strength: By averaging RSI (price-based) and MFI (volume-based), the indicator provides a more comprehensive view of market momentum that considers both price action and buying/selling pressure.
2. Normalized Scale: The indicator normalizes values around zero, making it easier to identify bullish vs bearish conditions and the relative strength of momentum in either direction.
3. Dynamic Boundaries: The marker lines create a visual representation of the "high water marks" of momentum in both directions, helping to identify when markets are making new momentum extremes.
4. Exhaustion Signals: The peak detection system highlights moments where momentum has reached a local maximum or minimum, often precursors to reversals or consolidations.
Remember:
- Combine signals from directional line, marker lines, and peak formations
- Use appropriate timeframe settings for your trading style
- Customize the indicator to match your visual preferences
- Consider market conditions and correlate with price action
This indicator works best when:

AO/AC Trading Zones Strategy [Skyrexio] Overview
AO/AC Trading Zones Strategy leverages the combination of Awesome Oscillator (AO), Acceleration/Deceleration Indicator (AC), Williams Fractals, Williams Alligator and Exponential Moving Average (EMA) to obtain the high probability long setups. Moreover, strategy uses multi trades system, adding funds to long position if it considered that current trend has likely became stronger. Combination of AO and AC is used for creating so-called trading zones to create the signals, while Alligator and Fractal are used in conjunction as an approximation of short-term trend to filter them. At the same time EMA (default EMA's period = 100) is used as high probability long-term trend filter to open long trades only if it considers current price action as an uptrend. More information in "Methodology" and "Justification of Methodology" paragraphs. The strategy opens 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 to identify when current uptrend is likely to be over. In some special cases strategy uses AO and AC combination to trail profit (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.
Multilayer trades opening system: strategy uses only 10% of capital in every trade and open up to 5 trades at the same time if script consider current trend as strong one.
Short and long term trend trade filters: strategy uses EMA as high probability long-term trend filter and Alligator and Fractal combination as a short-term one.
Methodology
The strategy opens long trade when the following price met the conditions:
1. Price closed above EMA (by default, period = 100). Crossover is not obligatory.
2. Combination of Alligator and Williams Fractals shall consider current trend as an upward (all details in "Justification of Methodology" paragraph)
3. Both AC and AO shall print two consecutive increasing values. At the price candle close which corresponds to this condition algorithm opens the first long trade with 10% of capital.
4. If combination of Alligator and Williams Fractals shall consider current trend has been changed from up to downtrend, all long trades will be closed, no matter how many trades has been opened.
5. If AO and AC both continue printing the rising values strategy opens the long trade on each candle close with 10% of capital while number of opened trades reaches 5.
6. If AO and AC both has printed 5 rising values in a row algorithm close all trades if candle's low below the low of the 5-th candle with rising AO and AC values in a row.
Script also has additional visuals. If second long trade has been opened simultaneously the Alligator's teeth line is plotted with the green color. Also for every trade in a row from 2 to 5 the label "Buy More" is also plotted just below the teeth line. With every next simultaneously opened trade the green color of the space between teeth and price became less transparent.
Strategy settings
In the inputs window user can setup strategy setting:
EMA Length (by default = 100, period of EMA, used for long-term trend filtering EMA calculation).
User can choose the optimal parameters during backtesting on certain price chart.
Justification of Methodology
Let's explore the key concepts of this strategy and understand how they work together. We'll begin with the simplest: the EMA.
The Exponential Moving Average (EMA) is a type of moving average that assigns greater weight to recent price data, making it more responsive to current market changes compared to the Simple Moving Average (SMA). This tool is widely used in technical analysis to identify trends and generate buy or sell signals. The EMA is calculated as follows:
1.Calculate the Smoothing Multiplier:
Multiplier = 2 / (n + 1), Where n is the number of periods.
2. EMA Calculation
EMA = (Current Price) × Multiplier + (Previous EMA) × (1 − Multiplier)
In this strategy, the EMA acts as a long-term trend filter. For instance, long trades are considered only when the price closes above the EMA (default: 100-period). This increases the likelihood of entering trades aligned with the prevailing trend.
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.
In this strategy if the most recent up fractal breakout occurs above the Alligator's teeth and follows the last down fractal breakout below the teeth, the algorithm identifies an uptrend. Long trades can be opened during this phase if a signal aligns. If the price breaks a down fractal below the teeth line during an uptrend, the strategy assumes the uptrend has ended and closes all open long trades.
By combining the EMA as a long-term trend filter with the Alligator and fractals as short-term filters, this approach increases the likelihood of opening profitable trades while staying aligned with market dynamics.
Now let's talk about the trading zones concept and its signals. To understand this we need to briefly introduce what is AO and AC. The Awesome Oscillator (AO), developed by Bill Williams, is a momentum indicator designed to measure market momentum by contrasting recent price movements with a longer-term historical perspective. It helps traders detect potential trend reversals and assess the strength of ongoing trends.
The formula for AO is as follows:
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
The Acceleration/Deceleration (AC) Indicator, introduced by Bill Williams, measures the rate of change in market momentum. It highlights shifts in the driving force of price movements and helps traders spot early signs of trend changes. The AC Indicator is particularly useful for identifying whether the current momentum is accelerating or decelerating, which can indicate potential reversals or continuations. For AC calculation we shall use the AO calculated above is the following formula:
AC = AO − SMA5(AO) , where SMA5(AO)is the 5-period Simple Moving Average of the Awesome Oscillator
When the AC is above the zero line and rising, it suggests accelerating upward momentum.
When the AC is below the zero line and falling, it indicates accelerating downward momentum.
When the AC is below zero line and rising it suggests the decelerating the downtrend momentum. When AC is above the zero line and falling, it suggests the decelerating the uptrend momentum.
Now let's discuss the trading zones concept and how it can create the signal. Zones are created by the combination of AO and AC. We can divide three zone types:
Greed zone: when the AO and AC both are rising
Red zone: when the AO and AC both are decreasing
Gray zone: when one of AO or AC is rising, the other is falling
Gray zone is considered as uncertainty. AC and AO are moving in the opposite direction. Strategy skip such price action to decrease the chance to stuck in the losing trade during potential sideways. Red zone is also not interesting for the algorithm because both indicators consider the trend as bearish, but strategy opens only long trades. It is waiting for the green zone to increase the chance to open trade in the direction of the potential uptrend. When we have 2 candles in a row in the green zone script executes a long trade with 10% of capital.
Two green zone candles in a row is considered by algorithm as a bullish trend, but now so strong, that's the reason why trade is going to be closed when the combination of Alligator and Fractals will consider the the trend change from bullish to bearish. If id did not happens, algorithm starts to count the green zone candles in a row. When we have 5 in a row script change the trade closing condition. Such situation is considered is a high probability strong bull market and all trades will be closed if candle's low will be lower than fifth green zone candle's low. This is used to increase probability to secure the profit. If long trades are initiated, the strategy continues utilizing subsequent signals until the total number of trades reaches a maximum of 5. Each trade uses 10% of capital.
Why we use trading zones signals? If currently strategy algorithm considers the high probability of the short-term uptrend with the Alligator and Fractals combination pointed out above and the long-term trend is also suggested by the EMA filter as bullish. Rising AC and AO values in the direction of the most likely main trend signaling that we have the high probability of the fastest bullish phase on the market. The main idea is to take part in such rapid moves and add trades if this move continues its acceleration according to indicators.

Midnight Range Standard DeviationsCredit to Lex Fx for the basic framework of this script
This indicator is designed to assist traders in identifying potential trading opportunities based on the Intraday Concurrency Technique (ICT) concepts, specifically the midnight range deviations and their relationship to Fibonacci levels. It builds upon the work of Lex-FX, whom we gratefully acknowledge for the original concept and inspiration for this indicator.
Core Concept: ICT Midnight Range
The core of this indicator revolves around the concept of the midnight range. According to ICT, the high and low formed in a specific time window (typically the first 30 minutes after midnight, New York Time) can serve as a key reference point for intraday price action. The indicator identifies this range and projects potential support and resistance levels based on deviations from this range, combined with Fibonacci ratios.
How ICT Uses Midnight Range Deviations
ICT methodology often involves looking for price to move away from the initial midnight range, then return to it, or deviate beyond it, as key areas for potential entries.
Range Identification: The indicator automatically identifies the high and low of the midnight range (00:00 - 00:30 NY Time).
Deviation Levels: The indicator calculates and displays deviation levels based on multiples of the initial midnight range. These levels are often used to identify potential areas of support and resistance, as well as potential targets for price movement. These levels can be set in the additional fib levels section, which can be configured in increments of .5 deviations all the way up to 12 deviations.
Fibonacci Confluence: ICT often emphasizes the confluence of multiple factors. This indicator adds Fibonacci levels to the midnight range deviations. This allows traders to identify areas where Fibonacci retracements or extensions align with the deviation levels, potentially creating stronger areas of support or resistance.
Looking for Sweeps: ICT often uses these levels to look for times that the high and low are swept as potential areas of liquidity, indicating the start of potential continuations.
Time-Based Analysis: The time at which price interacts with these levels can also be significant in ICT. The indicator provides options to extend the range lines to specific times (e.g., 3 hours, 6 hours, 10 hours, 12 hours, or a custom defined time) after midnight, allowing traders to focus on specific periods of the trading day.
Indicator Settings Explained:
Time Zone (TZ): Defines the time zone used for calculating the midnight range. The default is "America/New_York".

Intrabar BoxPlotThe Intrabar BoxPlot publication highlights an uncommon technique by displaying statistical intrabar Lower Timeframe (LTF) values on the chart.
🔶 USAGE
🔹 Middle 50% Boxes
By showing the middle 50% intrabar values through a box, we can more easily see where the intrabar activity is mainly situated.
The middle 50% intrabar values are referred to from here on as Interquartile range (IQR).
In this example, the successive IQRs form a channel where the price eventually breaks out.
Disproportionately distributed values can give insights which can be used to find potential support/resistance areas.
IQR gaps can give valuable information as well. Potentially, the price can return to these gaps.
Seeing the IQR areas against regular candles gives an alternative image of the underlying price movements.
🔹 Highest volume Price level
The script displays the price level with the highest volume situated, dependable on the user's source setting. Setting the source at 'close' will only display intrabar close values; the same goes for high, low, ...
As seen in the above example, the volume levels can aid in finding support/resistance.
🔹 Median
The location of the median off all intrabar values is displayed as a coloured dot: green when the close price is higher than the opening price and red if otherwise. The median can give valuable insights into price movements.
🔹 Outliers
Medium (white dots) and extreme (white X) outliers, in combination with the IQR box, can help identify potential areas of interest.
🔹 Volume Delta
When there is a discrepancy between the delta volume and direction of the candle, this will be displayed as follows:
Green candle: when the sum of the volume of red intrabars is higher than the sum of the volume of green intrabars, the candle will be coloured orange.
Red candle: when the sum of the volume of green intrabars is higher than the sum of the volume of red intrabars, the candle will be coloured blue.
🔹 Highlight Boxplot only
Probably the easiest way to display boxplot only is by changing the Bar's style to Bars .
🔶 DETAILS
All intrabar values (Lower TimeFrame - LTF) are sorted and evaluated. Values can be close , high , low , ... by selecting this in Settings ( source ).
The middle 50% of all values are displayed as a box; this contains the values between percentile 25 (p25) and percentile 75 (p75). The value of percentile rank 75 means 75% of all values are lower. The value of percentile rank 25 means 25% of all values are lower, or 75% is higher.
The difference between p75 and p25 is also known as Interquartile range (IQR)
IQR is used to check for outliers.
Wiki: Boxplot , Interquartile range
Extreme high: maximum value, higher than p75 + IQR*3
Max outlier high: maximum value, higher than p75 + IQR*1.5 but lower than p75 + IQR*3
Max: maximum value, lower than p75 + IQR*1.5
Min: minimum value, higher than p25 - IQR*1.5
Min outlier low: minimum value, lower than p25 - IQR*1.5 but higher than p25 - IQR*3
Extreme low: minimum value, lower than p25 - IQR*3
Max and min must not be interpreted with the current candle high/low.
🔹 Example: Length of chart-puppets
The following example can make it easier to digest. Forty "chart-puppets" are sorted by their length.
The p25 value is 97
The p50 value is 120
The p75 value is 149
75% of all "chart-puppets" are smaller than p75, and 25% is larger than p75.
50% of all "chart-puppets" are smaller than p50, and 50% is larger than p50 (= median).
25% of all "chart-puppets" are smaller than p25, and 75% is larger than p25.
IQR = 149 - 97 = 52
Extreme outlier limit max: p75 + IQR*3 = 149 + 52*3 = 305
Mild outlier limit max: p75 + IQR*1.5 = 149 + 52*1.5 = 227
Mild outlier limit min: p25 - IQR*1.5 = 97 - 52*1.5 = 19
Extreme outlier limit min: p25 - IQR*3 = 97 - 52*3 = -59
In this example there are no outliers to be found, all values are located between p25 - IQR*1.5 (19) and p75 + IQR*1.5. (227)
🔹 Source settings
Note that results are dependable on the chosen source (settings). When, for example, close is chosen as the source, only intrabar close prices are included. This means a low or high can stretch further then the min or max.
Here we can see different results with different source settings
🔹 LTF settings
When 'Auto' is enabled (Settings, LTF), the LTF will be the nearest possible x times smaller TF than the current TF. When 'Premium' is disabled, the minimum TF will always be 1 minute to ensure TradingView plans lower than Premium don't get an error.
Examples with current Daily TF (when Premium is enabled):
500 : 3 minute LTF

Overnight High/LowThe script identifies the Overnight High (the highest price) and Overnight Low (the lowest price) for a trading instrument during a specified overnight session. It then plots these levels on the chart for reference in subsequent trading sessions.
Key Features:
Time Settings:
The script defines the start (startHour) and end (endHour + endMinute) times for the overnight session.
The session spans across two calendar days, such as 5:00 PM (17:00) to 9:30 AM (09:30).
Tracking High and Low:
During the overnight session, the script dynamically tracks:
Overnight High: The highest price reached during the session.
Overnight Low: The lowest price reached during the session.
Reset Mechanism:
After the overnight session ends (at the specified end time), the script resets the overnightHigh and overnightLow variables, preparing for the next session.
Visual Representation:
The script uses horizontal dotted lines to plot:
A green line for the Overnight High.
A red line for the Overnight Low.
These lines extend to the right of the chart, providing visual reference points for traders.
How It Works:
Session Detection:
The script checks whether the current time falls within the overnight session:
If the hour is greater than or equal to the start hour (e.g., 17:00).
Or if the hour is less than or equal to the end hour (e.g., 09:30), considering the next day.
The end minute (e.g., 30 minutes past the hour) is also considered for precision.
High and Low Calculation:
During the overnight session:
If the overnightHigh is not yet defined, it initializes with the current candle's high.
If already defined, it updates by comparing the current candle's high to the existing overnightHigh using the math.max function.
Similarly, overnightLow is initialized or updated using the math.min function.
Post-Session Reset:
After the session ends, the script clears the overnightHigh and overnightLow variables by setting them to na (not available).
Line Drawing:
The script draws horizontal dotted lines for the Overnight High and Low during and after the session.
The lines extend indefinitely to the right of the chart.
Benefits:
Visual Aid: Helps traders quickly identify overnight support and resistance levels, which are critical for intraday trading.
Automation: Removes the need for manually plotting these levels each day.
Customizable: Time settings can be adjusted to match different markets or trading strategies.
This script is ideal for traders who use the overnight range as part of their analysis for breakouts, reversals, or trend continuation strategies.
Monthly Breakout StrategyThis Monthly High/Low Breakout Strategy is designed to take long or short positions based on breakouts from the high or low of the previous month. Users can select whether they want to go long at a breakout above the previous month’s high, short at a breakdown below the previous month’s low, or use the reverse logic. Additionally, it includes a month filter, allowing trades to be executed only during user-specified months.
Breakout strategies, particularly those based on monthly highs and lows, aim to capitalize on price momentum. These systems rely on the assumption that once a significant price level is breached (such as the previous month's high or low), the market is likely to continue moving in the same direction due to increased volatility and trend-following behaviors by traders. Studies have demonstrated the potential effectiveness of breakout strategies in financial markets.
Scientific Evidence Supporting Breakout Strategies:
Momentum in Financial Markets:
Research on momentum-based strategies, which include breakout trading, shows that securities breaking key levels of support or resistance tend to continue their price movement in the direction of the breakout. Jegadeesh and Titman (1993) found that stocks with strong performance over a given period tend to continue performing well in subsequent periods, a principle also applied to breakout strategies.
Behavioral Finance:
The psychological factor of herd behavior is one of the driving forces behind breakout strategies. When prices break out of a key level (such as a monthly high), it triggers increased buying or selling pressure as traders join the trend. Barberis, Shleifer, and Vishny (1998) explained how cognitive biases, such as overconfidence and sentiment, can amplify price trends, which breakout strategies attempt to exploit.
Market Efficiency:
While markets are generally efficient, periods of inefficiency can occur, particularly around the breakouts of significant price levels. These inefficiencies often result in temporary price trends, which breakout strategies can exploit before the market corrects itself (Fama, 1970).
Risk Considerations:
Despite the potential for profit, the Monthly Breakout Strategy comes with several risks:
False Breakouts:
One of the most common risks in breakout strategies is the occurrence of false breakouts. These happen when the price temporarily moves above (or below) a key level but quickly reverses direction, causing losses for traders who entered positions too early. This is particularly risky in low-volatility environments.
Market Volatility:
Monthly breakout strategies rely on momentum, which may not be consistent across different market conditions. During periods of low volatility, price breakouts might lack the follow-through required for the strategy to succeed, leading to poor performance.
Whipsaw Risk:
The strategy is vulnerable to whipsaw markets, where prices oscillate around key levels without establishing a clear direction. This can result in frequent entry and exit signals that lead to losses, especially if trading costs are not managed properly.
Overfitting to Past Data:
If the month-selection filter is overly optimized based on historical data, the strategy may suffer from overfitting—performing well in backtests but poorly in real-time trading. This happens when strategies are tailored to past market conditions that may not repeat.
Conclusion:
While monthly breakout strategies can be effective in markets with strong momentum, they are subject to several risks, including false breakouts, volatility dependency, and whipsaw behavior. It is crucial to backtest this strategy thoroughly and ensure it aligns with your risk tolerance before implementing it in live trading.

Pure Price Action ICT Tools [LuxAlgo]The Pure Price Action ICT Tools indicator is designed for pure price action analysis, automatically identifying real-time market structures, liquidity levels, order & breaker blocks, and liquidity voids.
Its unique feature lies in its exclusive reliance on price patterns, without being constrained by any user-defined inputs, ensuring a robust and objective analysis of market dynamics.
🔶 MARKET STRUCTURES
A Market Structure Shift, also known as a Change of Character (CHoCH), is a pivotal event in price action analysis indicating a potential change in market sentiment or direction. An MSS occurs when the price reverses from an established trend, signaling that the prevailing trend may be losing momentum and a reversal might be underway. This shift is often identified by key technical patterns, such as a higher low in a downtrend or a lower high in an uptrend, which indicate a weakening of the current trend's strength.
A Break of Structure typically indicates the continuation of the current market trend. This event occurs when the price decisively moves beyond a previous swing high or low, confirming the strength of the prevailing trend. In an uptrend, a BOS is marked by the price breaking above a previous high, while in a downtrend, it is identified by the price breaking below a previous low.
While a Market Structure Shift (MSS) can indicate a potential trend reversal and a Break of Structure (BOS) often confirms trend continuation, they do not assure a complete reversal or continuation. MSS and BOS levels can also function as liquidity zones or areas of price consolidation rather than definitively signaling a change in market direction. Traders should approach these signals cautiously and validate them with additional factors before making trading decisions. For further details on other components of the tool, please refer to the following sections.
🔶 ORDER & BREAKER BLOCKS
Order and Breaker Blocks are key concepts in price action analysis that help traders identify significant levels in the market structure.
Order Blocks are specific price zones where significant buying or selling activity has occurred. These zones often represent the actions of large institutional traders or market makers, who execute substantial orders that impact the market.
Breaker Blocks are specific price zones where a strong reversal occurs, causing a break in the prevailing market structure. These blocks indicate areas where the price encountered significant resistance or support, leading to a reversal.
In summary, Order and Breaker Blocks are essential tools in price action analysis, providing insights into significant market levels influenced by institutional trading activities. These blocks help traders make informed decisions about potential support and resistance levels, trend reversals, and breakout confirmations.
🔶 BUYSIDE & SELLSIDE LIQUIDITY
Both buy-side and sell-side liquidity zones are critical for identifying potential turning points in the market. These zones are where significant buying or selling interest is concentrated, influencing future price movements.
In summary, buy-side and sell-side liquidity provide crucial insights into market demand and supply dynamics, helping traders make informed decisions based on the availability of orders at different price levels.
🔶 LIQUIDITY VOIDS
Liquidity voids are gaps or areas on a price chart where there is a lack of trading activity. These voids represent zones with minimal to no buy or sell orders, often resulting in sharp price movements when the market enters these areas.
In summary, liquidity voids are crucial areas on a price chart characterized by a lack of trading activity. These voids can lead to rapid price movements and increased volatility, making them essential considerations for traders in their analysis and decision-making processes.
🔶 SWING POINTS
Reversal price points are commonly referred to as swing points. Traders often analyze historical swing points to discern market trends and pinpoint potential trade entry and exit points.
Do note that in this script these are subject to backpainting, that is they are not located where they are detected.
The detection of swing points and the unique feature of this script rely exclusively on price action, eliminating the need for numerical user-defined settings. The process begins with detecting short-term swing points:
Short-Term Swing High (STH): Identified as a price peak surrounded by lower highs on both sides.
Short-Term Swing Low (STL): Recognized as a price trough surrounded by higher lows on both sides.
Intermediate-term and long-term swing points are detected using the same approach but with a slight modification. Instead of directly analyzing price candles, previously detected short-term swing points are utilized. For intermediate-term swing points, short-term swing points are analyzed, while for long-term swing points, intermediate-term ones are used.
This method ensures a robust and objective analysis of market dynamics, offering traders reliable insights into market structures. Detected swing points serve as the foundation for identifying market structures, buy-side/sell-side liquidity levels, and order and breaker blocks presented with this tool.
In summary, swing points are essential elements in technical analysis, helping traders identify trends, support, and resistance levels, and optimal entry and exit points. Understanding swing points allows traders to make informed decisions based on the natural price movements in the market.

Indicator Based Market Exposure (IBME)The Indicator Based Market Exposure (IBME) system was created by Big Wave Chartist as a way to navigate the markets using a confluence of three different signals to determine when the "internals" of the market are in your favor and how heavily invested to be at any point. The idea of the system is also to flash warning signs when the market internals are beginning to deteriorate so as to take a defensive stance. Of course this system can be strictly adhered to, or it can be incorporated into a more discretionary style of trading, and be combined with progressive exposure into (and out of) the market as positions gain (or lose) traction.
The IBME displays a straightforward action signal based on the combination of the 3 separate signals:
Green 🟢 Full size-longs permitted
Yellow 🟡 Pilot positions permitted
Red 🔴 No longs allowed
So let's get into the signals used:
McClellan Summation Index
Net New Highs/Lows
Net New Highs Crossover
McClellan Summation Index (MSI)
The McClellan Summation Index is a long-term version of the McClellan Oscillator, which is a market breadth indicator based on stock advances and declines. Interpretation is similar to that of the McClellan Oscillator, except that it is more suited to intermediate to major trends and related reversals. The McClellan Summation Index can be calculated as the sum of all the daily values of the McClellan Oscillator. This is used along with the 10-sma to watch for a crossover indicating an uptrend or downtrend beginning.
Net New Highs/Lows
This is the net number of stocks making 52-week highs or lows. For instance, if there are 60 new 52-week highs and 20 new 52-week lows, the net number will be 40 net new 52 week highs. This signal is particularly useful in gauging breadth.
Net New Highs Crossover
This is the description of NNHC from the original separate version of this indicator created by HikoStory: "Net New Highs can guide you to increase or decrease your exposure based on the current market health. They are calculated by subtracting the new highs from the new lows, based on all stocks of the...NASDAQ. A positive value shows that the market is doing good, since more stocks are making new highs compared to new lows. A negative value shows that the market is doing bad, since more stocks are making new lows compared to new highs. Combined with a moving average you can see crossovers that can warn you early when there is a change in the current market health."
The default index for the IBME is the Nasdaq.
The IBME is meant to be used on a daily time frame chart, therefore the signal will only show on a daily time frame chart.
Display options include:
Show/hide individual signals
Table background/font color
Table size/placement
HH-LL ZZAnother ZigZag, yes...
I believe though this concerns another angle/principle, therefore I wanted to share
How does it work?
Given:
source for level breach -> close
X breaches -> 3
Let's say this is the latest found 'lower low' (LL - blue dot under bar):
This bar has been triggered because 3 bars closed under low of previous 'trigger bar' (TB )
The high and low of this new TB will act as triggers
(aqua blue lines, seen in image above)
Then there are 2 options:
- again 3 bars closes under the latest TB , in that case the TB moves to that new LL.
- 3 bars closes higher than the high of previous TB
The high and low of this new TB act again as trigger
If a new TB LL/HH is found, the script checks previous LL/HH
and searches the highest/lowest point in between.
If necessary, the temporary highest/lowest will be adjusted:
Another example:
The last 2 points can change (repaint).
Yellow coloured lines/labels are set and won't change anymore.
Concluded:
In case of these settings:
source for level breach -> close
X breaches -> 3
once a new TB is found, the high and low act as trigger lines
- when 3 bars closes under that low , a new LL is found, this will be the new TB
- when 3 bars closes above that high , a new HH is found, this will be the new TB
and so on...
Settings:
source for level breach -> close or high/low - H/L
X breaches -> 1 -> 10
line style -> solid, dotted, dashed
show level breaches -> new found TB (blue/lime coloured)
show Support/Resistance (lines at the right)
repaint warning can be removed
show labels / lines
This ZZ can be used for Harmonic patterns, Trend evaluation, support/resistance,...
In this script, I also used new features
- text_font_family = font.family_monospace -> link
- display=display.pane -> link
Cheers!
PrasiGanFanFibntroduction
This is a combination of Fibonacci and Gann fan /retracements.
The script can automatically draw as many:
Fibonacci Retracements
Fibonacci Fan
Gann Retracements
Gann Fan
as the user requires on the chart. Each level set or fan consists of 7 lines based on the most important ratios of Fibonacci/ Gann .
Basics
What are Fibonacci retracements?
Fibonacci retracement levels are horizontal lines that indicate where support and resistance are likely to occur. They stem from Fibonacci’s sequence. Each level is associated with a percentage which is how much of a prior move the price has retraced. The Fibonacci retracement levels are 23.6%, 38.2%, 61.8%, and 78.6%. While not officially a Fibonacci ratio, 50% is also used. The indicator is useful because it can be drawn between any two significant price points, such as a high and a low. The indicator will then create the levels between those two points.
What are Gann retracements?
A developer of technical analysis and trading was W.D. Gann . Gann theory expects a normal retracement of 50 percent. This means that under normal selling pressure, the stock price will decline half the amount of its most recent rise, and vice versa. It also suggests that retracements occur at the halfway point of a move, such as 25 percent (half of 50 percent), 12.5 percent (half of 25 percent), and so on.
What is Fibonacci fan?
Fibonacci fan is a set of sequential trend lines drawn from a trough or peak through a set of points dictated by Fibonacci retracements. The first step to create it is to draw a trend line covering the local lowest and highest prices of a security. To reach retracement levels, the trader divides the difference in price at the low and high end by ratios determined by the Fibonacci series. The lines formed by connecting the starting point for the base trend line and each retracement level create the Fibonacci fan.
What is Gann fan?
A Gann fan consists of a series of lines called Gann angles. These angles are superimposed over a price chart to show potential support and resistance levels. The resulting image is supposed to help technical analysts predict price changes. Gann believed the 45-degree angle to be most important, but the Gann fan also draws angles at degrees like 75, 63.75, 26.25 and 15. The Gann fan originates at a low or high point. The resulting lines show areas of potential future support and resistance . The 45-degree line is known as the 1:1 line because the price will rise or fall at a 45-degree angle when the price moves up/down one unit for each unit of time. All other lines in the Gann fan are drawn above and below the 1:1 line. The other angles are associated with 2:1, 3:1, 4:1, 8:1 and 1:8, 1:4, 1:3, and 1:2 time-to-price moves.
Challenges
The most of the time I dedicated to writing this script has been spent on handling these problems:
1. Finding Local Highest/Lowest Prices
In order to draw Fibonacci and Gann fan /retracements, it's necessary to find local highest and lowest price points (Extrema) on the chart. As this could be so challenging, most traders and coders draw the lines covering the low and high prices over a given period of time or a limited number of bars back instead. I already wrote an indicator using this approach (Auto Fibonacci Combo).
In this new script I tried to find the exact highest and lowest prices based on this idea that: if a high point is formed lower than previous high which was after a lowest point, then that previous one was the local highest point, and vice versa if a low point is formed higher than previous low which was after a highest point, then that previous one was the local lowest point. So logically an extremum price on the chart won't be found until the next high/low point is formed.
2. Finding Proper Chart Scale for Gann Fan
Based on the theory, Gann angles are sensitive to the chart price scale and in order to have the right angles, the chart must be made with the proper scale. J.A. Hyerczyk in his book "Pattern, Price & Time - Using Gann Theory in Technical Analysis" suggests that the easiest way to determine the scale of a market is by taking the difference between top-to-top and bottom-to-bottom and dividing it by the time it took the market to move from top to top and bottom to bottom.
Thus on a properly constructed chart, the basic equation for calculating Gann angles is: Price * Time.
3. Drawing Fans and Relocating Fan Labels at Each New Bar in Pine (A Programming-Related Subject)
To do this, I used linear equations and line slopes. Of course it was so complicated and exhausting, but finally I overcame that thanks to my genius cousin.
Settings and Usage
By default, the script shows detected extremum points plus 1 Fibonacci fan, 1 Gann fan , 1 set of Fibonacci retracements and no Gann retracements on the chart. All of these could be changed in the indicator settings beside the color and transparency of each line.
Feel free to use this and send me your thoughts!
MTF previous high and low quarter levelsDescription
An experimental script that prints quarter levels of the previous timeframe's high and low to the current timeframe. The idea is quite simple and is basically the Fibonacci pivoted on the previous high and low with quarter level settings (0,0.25,0.5,0.75,1 etc). The default setting is the previous daily high and low but can be customized on user discretion.
New quarter levels are printed after the close of the previous timeframe and open of the new timeframe (user's timeframe setting)
How To Use
Levels should not be used blindly. Levels can be used as confluence when aligned with high probability supply and demand zones, support, resistance, order blocks, and so on.
Credit to @HeWhoMustNotBeNamed for the Previous High/Low MTF indicator code and @mrbirman for the idea to put this together.
