Inspired and adapted from the original 'Bollinger Bands Breakout Oscillator' by LuxAlgo
Overview
Pairs nicely with Contrarian 100 MA
The Bollinger Bands Entry/Exit Thresholds is a powerful momentum-based indicator designed to help traders identify potential entry and exit points in trending or breakout markets. By leveraging Bollinger Bands, this indicator quantifies price deviations from the bands to generate bullish and bearish momentum signals, displayed as an oscillator. It includes customizable entry and exit signals based on user-defined thresholds, with visual cues plotted either on the oscillator panel or directly on the price chart.
This indicator is ideal for traders looking to capture breakout opportunities or confirm trend strength, with flexible settings to adapt to various markets and trading styles.
How It Works
The Bollinger Bands Entry/Exit Thresholds calculates two key metrics:
Bullish Momentum (Bull): Measures the extent to which the price exceeds the upper Bollinger Band, expressed as a percentage (0–100).
Bearish Momentum (Bear): Measures the extent to which the price falls below the lower Bollinger Band, also expressed as a percentage (0–100).
The indicator generates:
Long Entry Signals: Triggered when the bearish momentum (bear) crosses below a user-defined Long Threshold (default: 40). This suggests weakening bearish pressure, potentially indicating a reversal or breakout to the upside.
Exit Signals: Triggered when the bullish momentum (bull) crosses below a user-defined Sell Threshold (default: 80), indicating a potential reduction in bullish momentum and a signal to exit long positions.
Signals are visualized as tiny colored dots:
Long Entry: Blue dots, plotted either at the bottom of the oscillator or below the price bar (depending on user settings).
Exit Signal: White dots, plotted either at the top of the oscillator or above the price bar.
Calculation Methodology
Bollinger Bands:
A user-defined Length (default: 14) is used to calculate an Exponential Moving Average (EMA) of the source price (default: close).
Standard deviation is computed over the same length, multiplied by a user-defined Multiplier (default: 1.0).
Upper Band = EMA + (Standard Deviation × Multiplier)
Lower Band = EMA - (Standard Deviation × Multiplier)
Bull and Bear Momentum:
For each bar in the lookback period (length), the indicator calculates:
Bullish Momentum: The sum of positive deviations of the price above the upper band, normalized by the total absolute deviation from the upper band, scaled to a 0–100 range.
Bearish Momentum: The sum of positive deviations of the price below the lower band, normalized by the total absolute deviation from the lower band, scaled to a 0–100 range.
Formula:
bull = (sum of max(price - upper, 0) / sum of abs(price - upper)) * 100
bear = (sum of max(lower - price, 0) / sum of abs(lower - price)) * 100
Signal Generation:
Long Entry: Triggered when bear crosses below the Long Threshold.
Exit: Triggered when bull crosses below the Sell Threshold.
Settings
Length: Lookback period for EMA and standard deviation (default: 14).
Multiplier: Multiplier for standard deviation to adjust Bollinger Band width (default: 1.0).
Source: Input price data (default: close).
Long Threshold: Bearish momentum level below which a long entry signal is generated (default: 40).
Sell Threshold: Bullish momentum level below which an exit signal is generated (default: 80).
Plot Signals on Main Chart: Option to display entry/exit signals on the price chart instead of the oscillator panel (default: false).
Style:
Bullish Color: Color for bullish momentum plot (default: #f23645).
Bearish Color: Color for bearish momentum plot (default: #089981).
Visual Features
Bull and Bear Plots: Displayed as colored lines with gradient fills for visual clarity.
Midline: Horizontal line at 50 for reference.
Threshold Lines: Dashed green line for Long Threshold and dashed red line for Sell Threshold.
Signal Dots:
Long Entry: Tiny blue dots (below price bar or at oscillator bottom).
Exit: Tiny white dots (above price bar or at oscillator top).
How to Use
Add to Chart: Apply the indicator to your TradingView chart.
Adjust Settings: Customize the Length, Multiplier, Long Threshold, and Sell Threshold to suit your trading strategy.
Interpret Signals:
Enter a long position when a blue dot appears, indicating bearish momentum dropping below the Long Threshold.
Exit the long position when a white dot appears, indicating bullish momentum dropping below the Sell Threshold.
Toggle Plot Location: Enable Plot Signals on Main Chart to display signals on the price chart for easier integration with price action analysis.
Combine with Other Tools: Use alongside other indicators (e.g., trendlines, support/resistance) to confirm signals.
Notes
This indicator is inspired by LuxAlgo’s Bollinger Bands Breakout Oscillator but has been enhanced with customizable entry/exit thresholds and signal plotting options.
Best used in conjunction with other technical analysis tools to filter false signals, especially in choppy or range-bound markets.
Adjust the Multiplier to make the Bollinger Bands wider or narrower, affecting the sensitivity of the momentum calculations.

Gorgo's Hybrid Oscillator STrategy**Indicator Name:** Gorgo's Hybrid Oscillator STrategy (G.H.O.S.T.)
**Purpose:**
The Gorgo's Hybrid Oscillator STrategy (G.H.O.S.T.) is a multi-component technical analysis tool designed to identify overbought and oversold market conditions, assess trend strength, and signal potential buy and sell opportunities. By combining elements from RSI, Ultimate Oscillator, Stochastic CCI, and ADX, this custom indicator provides a comprehensive view of momentum, trend intensity, and volume context to enhance decision-making.
---
**Components and Logic:**
1. **RSI (Relative Strength Index):**
* Calculated using a customizable period (default: 14) and based on the hlc3 price source.
* Measures recent price changes to evaluate overbought/oversold conditions.
* Incorporated in the final oscillator average.
2. **Ultimate Oscillator:**
* Combines three timeframes (7, 14, 28 by default) to smooth out price movements.
* Uses true range and buying pressure for multi-frame momentum analysis.
* Averaged together with RSI to create the main oscillator signal.
3. **Stochastic CCI:**
* Applies a stochastic process to the Commodity Channel Index (CCI).
* Smooths the %K and %D lines (default: 3 each) to detect subtle reversals.
* Generates oversold (<35) and overbought (>69) signals, plotted as yellow circles.
4. **ADX + DI (Average Directional Index):**
* Determines trend strength using ADX and directional movement indicators (DI).
* ADX threshold is set at 24 by default to filter weak trends.
* Colored histogram columns:
* Green: Strong bullish trend.
* Red: Strong bearish trend.
* Gray: Weak/no trend.
5. **Volume Analysis:**
* Calculates a 9-period SMA of volume.
* Detects significant volume spikes (2.7× the average by default) to validate breakouts or fakeouts.
6. **Oscillator Output ("osc") and Levels:**
* The main plotted oscillator line is the average of the RSI and Ultimate Oscillator.
* Important horizontal lines:
* Overbought (69.0)
* Oversold (35.0)
* Midline (52.0): Neutral reference point.
* ADX threshold line (24.0)
---
**Signals:**
1. **Buy Signal Conditions:**
* Close is less than or equal to open (candle is red).
* Oscillator is decreasing and below oversold level.
* Stochastic CCI is below midline.
* Volume is above average, or excessive volume with oscillator falling below 40.
* ADX confirms trend presence (either above 15 or meeting threshold).
2. **Sell Signal Conditions:**
* ADX increasing and confirming trend.
* Oscillator is increasing and above overbought level.
* Stochastic CCI is above midline.
* Volume is above average, or very high with oscillator above 60.
3. **Visual Feedback:**
* Yellow dots highlight oversold/overbought Stochastic CCI.
* Oscillator line in cyan.
* Background colors:
* Light red for buy signals.
* White for sell signals.
4. **Alerts:**
* Built-in `alertcondition()` calls allow automated alerts for buy and sell events.
---
**Usage Guide:**
* **Best Use Cases:** Trend-following and reversal strategies on any timeframe.
* **Avoid Using Alone:** Use G.H.O.S.T. in conjunction with price action, support/resistance, and other confluence tools.
* **Customization:** All thresholds, periods, and volumes are user-editable from the settings panel.
---
**Interpretation Summary:**
G.H.O.S.T. excels at filtering out noise by combining different oscillators and volume signals to offer contextually valid entries and exits. A bullish (buy) signal typically suggests a market under pressure but potentially bottoming out, while a bearish (sell) signal highlights likely exhaustion after a strong upward push.
This hybrid approach makes the G.H.O.S.T. a reliable ally in volatile or choppy conditions where single-indicator strategies might fail.

⸻
1. Installing the Script
1. Open TradingView, go to Pine Editor (bottom panel).
2. Paste in your full Pine-v6 code and hit Add to chart.
3. Save it (“Save as…”): give it a memorable name (e.g. “VWAP Breakout+EMAs”).
⸻
2. Configuring Your Inputs
Once it’s on the chart, click the ⚙️ Settings icon to tune:
Setting Default What it does
ATR Length 14 Period for average true range (volatility measure)
ATR Multiplier for Stop 1.5 How many ATRs away your stop-loss sits
TP1 / TP2 Multipliers (ATR) 1.0 / 2.0 Distance of TP1 and TP2 in ATR multiples
Show VWAP / EMAs On Toggles the blue VWAP line & EMAs (100/34/5)
Full Cycle Range Points 200 Height of the shaded “cycle zone”
Pivot Lookback 5 How many bars back to detect a pivot low
Round Number Step 500 Spacing of your dotted horizontal lines
Show TP/SL Labels On Toggles all the “ENTRY”, “TP1”, “TP2”, “STOP” tags
Feel free to adjust ATR multipliers and cycle-zone size based on the instrument’s typical range.
⸻
3. Reading the Signals
• Long Entry:
• Trigger: price crosses above VWAP
• You’ll see a green “Buy” tag at the low of the signal bar, plus an “ENTRY (Long)” label at the close.
• Stop is plotted as a red dashed line below (ATR × 1.5), and TP1/TP2 as teal and purple lines above.
• Short Entry:
• Trigger: price crosses below VWAP
• A red “Sell” tag appears at the high, with “ENTRY (Short)” at the close.
• Stop is the green line above; TP1/TP2 are dashed teal/purple lines below.
⸻
4. Full Cycle Zone
Whenever a new pivot low is detected (using your Pivot Lookback), the script deletes the old box and draws a shaded yellow rectangle from that low up by “Full Cycle Range Points.”
• Use this to visualize the “maximum expected swing” from your pivot.
• You can quickly see whether price is still traveling within a normal cycle or has overstretched.
⸻
5. Round-Number Levels
With Show Round Number Levels enabled, you’ll always get horizontal dotted lines at the nearest multiples of your “Round Number Step” (e.g. every 500 points).
• These often act as psychological support/resistance.
• Handy to see confluence with VWAP or cycle-zone edges.
⸻
6. Tips & Best-Practices
• Timeframes: Apply on any intraday chart (5 min, 15 min, H1…), but match your ATR length & cycle-points to the timeframe’s typical range.
• Backtest first: Use the Strategy Tester tab to review performance, tweak ATR multipliers or cycle size, then optimize.
• Combine with context: Don’t trade VWAP breakouts blindly—look for confluence (e.g. support/resistance zones, higher-timeframe trend).
• Label clutter: If too many labels build up, you can toggle Show TP/SL Labels off and rely just on the lines.
⸻
That’s it! Once you’ve added it to your chart and dialed in the inputs, your entries, exits, cycle ranges, and key levels will all be plotted automatically. Feel free to experiment with the ATR multipliers and cycle-zone size until it fits your instrument’s personality. Happy trading!

Features:
Dynamic Sticky Lines:
The lines remain visually attached to the current candle, moving seamlessly as the chart updates, zooms, or pans.
Price Level Calculation:
Divides the candlestick into four distinct levels:
High Line (Red): Marks the highest point of the candle.
Low Line (Red): Marks the lowest point of the candle.
Midpoint Line (Blue): Marks the midpoint between high and low.
Upper Quarter Line (Green): Marks the 25% level between low and high.
Lower Quarter Line (Green): Marks the 75% level between low and high.
Real-Time Update:
The lines automatically adjust to the latest candle, maintaining accurate positioning.
Ideal for Candle Analysis:
Quickly identify key price levels and candle structure.
Suitable for analyzing trend strength and potential price reversals.
RSI Candle Trend🎯 Purpose:
This TradingView script is designed to visualize trend strength using RSI values as candle data, instead of traditional price candles. It transforms RSI data into custom candles using various smoothing and filtering methods (like Heikin-Ashi, Linear Regression, Rational Quadratic Filter, or McGinley Dynamic). It allows traders to:
📌Track RSI-based momentum using visual candle representation
📌Apply advanced smoothing/filters to the RSI to reduce noise
📌Highlight candle trend strength using dynamic coloring
📌Identify overbought/oversold zones using reference lines (RSI 80 and 20)
🧩 How It Works:
It calculates RSI values for open, high, low, close prices.
These RSI values are then optionally smoothed with user-selected moving averages (EMA, SMA, etc.).
Depending on the selected mode (Normal, Heikin-Ashi, Linear, Rational Quadratic), the RSI values are transformed into synthetic candles.
Candles are colored cyan (uptrend) or red (downtrend) based on RSI movement.
⚙️ Key Inputs:
Method: Type of moving average to smooth the RSI (e.g. EMA, SMA, VWMA, etc.)
Length: Length for RSI and smoothing filters
Candle: Type of candle transformation (Normal, Heikin-Ashi, Linear, Rational Quadratic)
Rational Quadratic: Parameter for the Rational Quadratic smoothing method
📊 Outputs:
Custom candles plotted using RSI-transformed values
Candle colors based on RSI strength:
Cyan for strong bullish RSI movement
Red for strong bearish RSI movement
Horizontal lines at RSI levels 80 and 20 (overbought/oversold)
🧠 Why Use This Indicator?
Unlike traditional RSI indicators that show a line, this tool:
Converts RSI into candle-style visualization
Helps traders visually interpret trend strength, reversals, or continuation patterns
Offers more refined control over RSI behavior and filtering
Provides a unique blend of momentum and candle analysis

Sector 50MA vs 200MA ComparisonThis TradingView indicator compares the 50-period Moving Average (50MA) and 200-period Moving Average (200MA) of a selected market sector or index, providing a visual and analytical tool to assess relative strength and trend direction. Here's a detailed breakdown of its functionality:
Purpose: The indicator plots the 50MA and 200MA of a chosen sector or index on a separate panel, highlighting their relationship to identify bullish (50MA > 200MA) or bearish (50MA < 200MA) trends. It also includes a histogram and threshold lines to gauge momentum and key levels.
Inputs:
Resolution: Allows users to select the timeframe for calculations (Daily, Weekly, or Monthly; default is Daily).
Sector Selection: Users can choose from a list of sectors or indices, including Tech, Financials, Consumer Discretionary, Utilities, Energy, Communication Services, Materials, Industrials, Health Care, Consumer Staples, Real Estate, S&P 500 Value, S&P 500 Growth, S&P 500, NASDAQ, Russell 2000, and S&P SmallCap 600. Each sector maps to specific ticker pairs for 50MA and 200MA data.
Data Retrieval:
The indicator fetches closing prices for the 50MA and 200MA of the selected sector using the request.security function, based on the chosen timeframe and ticker pairs.
Visual Elements:
Main Chart:
Plots the 50MA (blue line) and 200MA (red line) for the selected sector.
Fills the area between the 50MA and 200MA with green (when 50MA > 200MA, indicating bullishness) or red (when 50MA < 200MA, indicating bearishness).
Threshold Lines:
Horizontal lines at 0 (zero line), 20 (lower threshold), 50 (center), 80 (upper threshold), and 100 (upper limit) provide reference points for the 50MA's position.
Fills between 0-20 (green) and 80-100 (red) highlight key zones for potential overbought or oversold conditions.
Sector Information Table:
A table in the top-right corner displays the selected sector and its corresponding 50MA and 200MA ticker symbols for clarity.
Alerts:
Generates alert conditions for:
Bullish Crossover: When the 50MA crosses above the 200MA (indicating potential upward momentum).
Bearish Crossover: When the 50MA crosses below the 200MA (indicating potential downward momentum).
Use Case:
Traders can use this indicator to monitor the relative strength of a sector's short-term trend (50MA) against its long-term trend (200MA).
The visual fill between the moving averages and the threshold lines helps identify trend direction, momentum, and potential reversal points.
The sector selection feature allows for comparative analysis across different market segments, aiding in sector rotation strategies or market trend analysis.
This indicator is ideal for traders seeking to analyze sector performance, identify trend shifts, and make informed decisions based on moving average crossovers and momentum thresholds.
MACD-V with Volatility Normalisation [DCD]MACD-V with Volatility Normalisation
This indicator is a modified version of the traditional MACD, designed to account for market volatility by normalizing the MACD line using the Average True Range (ATR). It provides a more adaptive approach to identifying momentum shifts and potential trend reversals. This indicator was developed by Alex Spiroglou in this paper:
Spiroglou, Alex, MACD-V: Volatility Normalised Momentum (May 3, 2022).
Features:
Volatility Normalization: The MACD line is adjusted using ATR to standardize its values across different market conditions.
Customizable Parameters: Users can adjust the MACD fast length, slow length, signal line smoothing, and ATR length to suit their trading style.
Histogram Visualization: The histogram highlights the difference between the MACD and signal lines, with customizable colors for positive and negative momentum.
Crossover Signals: Green and red dots indicate bullish and bearish crossovers between the MACD and signal lines.
Background Highlighting: The chart background changes to green when the MACD is above 0 and red when it is below 0, providing a clear visual cue for bullish and bearish conditions.
Horizontal Levels: Dotted horizontal lines are plotted at key levels for better visualization of MACD values.
How to Use:
Look for crossovers between the MACD and signal lines to identify potential buy or sell signals.
Use the histogram to gauge the strength of momentum.
Pay attention to the background color for quick identification of bullish (green) or bearish (red) conditions.
This indicator is ideal for traders who want a more dynamic MACD that adapts to market volatility. Customize the settings to align with your trading strategy and timeframe.
Long-Term VWAP Mean Reversion SDCACore Idea:
This indicator is designed to support Strategic Dollar Cost Averaging (SDCA) for Bitcoin using a cumulative VWAP-based mean reversion model. It helps long-term investors identify high-conviction buy zones and overbought conditions using statistical deviation from the cumulative VWAP. This indicator evaluates how much price is stretched from the true market average price, weighted by cumulative volume over time.
Core Concepts and Formulas:
Cumulative VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price):
VWAP cumulative = ∑(Price×Volume) / ∑Volume
A long-term anchor that reflects the average dollar cost of all market participants across all candles. This version does not reset daily, unlike intraday VWAP.
VWAP Deviation % :
Deviation% = Price - VWAP cumulative / VWAP cumulative x 100
Shows how far current price has diverged from the long-term fair value.
Z-Score of VWAP Deviation:
Z= (Price−VWAP)−μ / σ (lookback period: default 200)
SDCA Multiplier Mapping:
*Keep in mind in my Z-Score system, -2 represents the overbought level (white horizontal line) and +2 represents oversold (cyan horizontal line) conditions. So the scores on the Y axis and Z-score in the table are reversed.
| Z-Score Range | SDCA Multiplier |
---------------------------------------------
| ≤ -2 | 0.25×
| -1 to +1 | 1.0×
| > +2 | 2.0×
The pink line plots this multiplier. It’s meant to control buy weight at each time step.
How to Use This for SDCA:
-Buy normally when the multiplier is 1.0× (Z-score between -1 and +1)
-Accelerate buying when Z-score is deeply negative (price far below VWAP)
-Slow or pause buying when Z-score is high (price far above VWAP)
-Use the stats panel to track current Z-score, VWAP level, deviation %, and multiplier
-Watch the red/blue backgrounds as visual confirmation of oversold/overbought zones
Inputs:
Z-Score Lookback Length:
Default: 200 but can be adjusted.
Visuals:
Z-Score Line (cyan): shows current standardized deviation from VWAP
Multiplier Line (bright pink): your SDCA intensity signal
Background Zones: cyan = oversold, white = overbought
Horizontal Lines: +2 and -2 standard deviation thresholds
Stats Panel (bottom right): live values for Z-score, multiplier, price, VWAP, and the deviation formula
Suited For:
-Long-term Bitcoin investors
-SDCA Systems
-Mean reversion systems
-Macro-level buy/sell planning
Price Channel MarkerThis indicator identifies a dynamic price channel based on the most relevant recent price action. It draws two horizontal lines:
* 🔴 Red Line – Marks the high of the most recent red candle (bearish) whose high is just below the current price. It selects the red candle with the high closest in price to the current close, and ensures it is from a valid historical context (ignoring recent highs above the current price).
* 🟢 Green Line – Marks the low of the most recent green candle (bullish) whose low is just above the current price, also selected based on proximity to the current price.
Together, these two lines define a potential price compression zone or "trap" area — showing where price may currently be trading between recent supply (red candle) and demand (green candle). The lines update dynamically and extend into the future to help visualize breakout or rejection levels.
Use Cases:
* Spot potential breakout zones.
* Define short-term support and resistance.
* Filter for entries in range-bound or squeeze conditions.
Customization:
* Adjustable lookback range (up to 5000 bars).
* Colors and line style are easily customizable.
Auto Darvas Boxes## AUTO DARVAS BOXES
---
### OVERVIEW
**Auto Darvas Boxes** is a fully-automated, event-driven implementation of Nicolas Darvas’s 1950s box methodology.
The script tracks consolidation zones in real time, verifies that price truly “respects” those zones for a fixed validation window, then waits for the first decisive range violation to mark a directional breakout.
Every box is plotted end-to-end—from the first candle of the sideways range to the exact candle that ruptures it—giving you an on-chart, visually precise record of accumulation or distribution and the expansion that follows.
---
### HISTORICAL BACKGROUND
* Nicolas Darvas was a professional ballroom dancer who traded U.S. equities by telegram while touring the world.
* Without live news or Level II, he relied exclusively on **price** to infer institutional intent.
* His core insight: true market-moving entities leave footprints in the form of tight ranges; once their buying (or selling) is complete, price erupts out of the “box.”
* Darvas’s original procedure was manual—he kept notebooks, drew rectangles around highs and lows, and entered only when price punched out of the roof of a valid box.
* This indicator distills that logic into a rolling, self-resetting state machine so you never miss a box or breakout on any timeframe.
---
### ALGORITHM DETAIL (FOUR-STATE MACHINE)
**STATE 0 – RANGE DEFINITION**
• Examine the last *N* candles (default 7).
• Record `rangeHigh = highest(high, N) + tolerance`.
• Record `rangeLow = lowest(low, N) – tolerance`.
• Remember the index of the earliest bar in this window (`startBar`).
• Immediately transition to STATE 1.
**STATE 1 – RANGE VALIDATION**
• Observe the next *N* candles (again default 7).
• If **any** candle prints `high > rangeHigh` or `low < rangeLow`, the validation fails and the engine resets to STATE 0 **beginning at the violating candle**—no halfway boxes, no overlap.
• If all *N* candles remain inside the range, the box becomes **armed** and we transition to STATE 2.
**STATE 2 – ARMED (LIVE VISUAL FEEDBACK)**
• Draw a **green horizontal line** at `rangeHigh`.
• Draw a **red horizontal line** at `rangeLow`.
• Lines are extended in real time so the user can see the “live” Darvas ceiling and floor.
• Engine waits indefinitely for a breakout candle:
– **Up-Breakout** if `high > rangeHigh`.
– **Down-Breakout** if `low < rangeLow`.
**STATE 3 – BREAKOUT & COOLDOWN**
• Upon breakout the script:
1. Deletes the live range lines.
2. Draws a **filled rectangle (box)** from `startBar` to the breakout bar.
◦ **Green fill** when price exits above the ceiling.
◦ **Red fill** when price exits below the floor.
3. Optionally prints two labels at the left edge of the box:
◦ Dollar distance = `rangeHigh − rangeLow`.
◦ Percentage distance = `(rangeHigh − rangeLow) / rangeLow × 100 %`.
• After painting, the script waits a **user-defined cooldown** (default = 7 bars) before reverting to STATE 0. The cooldown guarantees separation between consecutive tests and prevents overlapping rectangles.
---
### INPUT PARAMETERS (ALL ADJUSTABLE FROM THE SETTINGS PANEL)
* **BARS TO DEFINE RANGE** – Number of candles used for both the definition and validation windows. Classic Darvas logic uses 7 but feel free to raise it on higher timeframes or volatile instruments.
* **OPTIONAL TOLERANCE** – Absolute price buffer added above the ceiling and below the floor. Use a small tolerance to ignore single-tick spikes or data-feed noise.
* **COOLDOWN BARS AFTER BREAKOUT** – How long the engine pauses before hunting for the next consolidation. Setting this equal to the range length produces non-overlapping, evenly spaced boxes.
* **SHOW BOX DISTANCE LABELS** – Toggle on/off. When on, each completed box displays its vertical size in both dollars and percentage, anchored at the box’s left edge.
---
### REAL-TIME VISUALISATION
* During the **armed** phase you see two extended, colour-coded guide-lines showing the exact high/low that must hold.
* When the breakout finally occurs, those lines vanish and the rectangle instantly appears, coloured to match the breakout direction.
* This immediate visual feedback turns any chart into a live Darvas tape—no manual drawing, no lag.
---
### PRACTICAL USE-CASES & BEST-PRACTICE WORKFLOWS
* **INTRADAY MOMENTUM** – Drop the script on 1- to 15-minute charts to catch tight coils before they explode. The coloured box marks the precise origin of the expansion; stops can sit just inside the opposite side of the box.
* **SWING & POSITION TRADING** – On 4-hour or daily charts, boxes often correspond to accumulation bases or volatility squeezes. Waiting for the box-validated breakout filters many false signals.
* **MEAN-REVERSION OR “FADE” STRATEGIES** – If a breakout immediately fails and price re-enters the box, you may have trapped momentum traders; fading that failure can be lucrative.
* **RISK MANAGEMENT** – Box extremes provide objective, structure-based stop levels rather than arbitrary ATR multiples.
* **BACK-TEST RESEARCH** – Because each box is plotted from first range candle to breakout candle, you can programmatically measure hold time, range height, and post-breakout expectancy for any asset.
---
### CUSTOMISATION IDEAS FOR POWER USERS
* **VOLATILITY-ADAPTIVE WINDOW** – Replace the fixed 7-bar length with a dynamic value tied to ATR percentile so the consolidation window stretches or compresses with volatility.
* **MULTI-TIMEFRAME LOGIC** – Only arm a 5-minute box if the 1-hour trend is aligned.
* **STRATEGY WRAPPER** – Convert the indicator to a full `strategy{}` script, automate entries on breakouts, and benchmark performance across assets.
* **ALERTS** – Create TradingView alerts on both up-breakout and down-breakout conditions; route them to webhook for broker automation.

Pivot Levels with EMA Trend📌 Trend Change Levels with EMA Trend
✨ Description:
This TradingView script identifies clean trend change levels based on 1-hour structure shifts and filters them to keep only those not invalidated. It follows the "Jake Ricci" method, each level is printed at the beginning of the candle that changes the trend, on a 1 hour chart. For precision, make sure to exclude after/pre market and only use the levels on regular hours charts.
It includes dynamic EMAs (9, 50, 200), intraday VWAP, the daily open level printed, and a visual trend label based on EMA(9) slope.
Designed for intermediate traders, it helps build bias, manage entries, and avoid false setups by focusing on clean, reactive levels that the market respects.
🔧 Core Logic:
On the 1H chart, the script compares current and previous closes to detect trend direction. If the trend flips (e.g., up to down), the open of the candle that caused the flip becomes a candidate level.
Only levels that remain untouched by future candle closes are plotted — this filters out “weak” levels that price already violated (which means, a candle closes after passing through the level).
These levels become key S/R zones and often act as reaction points during pullbacks, traps, and liquidity sweeps.
The idea is to check how the price reacts to those levels. Usually there's a clean retest of the level. After that, if the price continues in that direction, it tends to reach the following level.
🔹 Included Tools:
🟣 Trend Change Levels (1H):
Fixed horizontal lines based on confirmed shifts in trend, shown only when not broken.
📉 EMAs (9 / 50 / 200):
Visibility can be set per timeframe. Use for trend context.
📍 EMA Trend Label:
Shows \"UP\", \"DOWN\", or \"RANGE\" based on EMA(9) slope.
🔵 VWAP (Intraday Reset):
Real-time volume-weighted average price that resets daily. Useful for fair value zones and reversion plays.
🟠 Daily Open Line:
Plot of the current day’s open. Used for intraday directional bias. Usually: DO NOT take longs below the Open Print, DO NOT take shorts above it.
📊 ATR Table:
Displays current ATR multiplier on the chart. It's useful to understand if the market is expanding or not.
📈 How to Use It (Strategy):
1. Start on the 1H chart to generate levels.
Only the open of candles that reversed trend are considered — and only if future candles didn’t close through them. I suggest manually adding horizontal lines to mark again the levels, so that they stick to all the timeframes.
2. Use the trend label to decide your bias — \"UP\" for long setups, \"DOWN\" for shorts. Avoid trading against the slope.
3. Switch to the 5m chart and wait for price to approach a plotted level. These are often used for manipulation, retests, or clean reversals.
4. Look for confirmation: rejection candles, break-and-retest, strong engulfing candles, or traps above/below the level. ALWAYS check the price action around the level, along with the volume.
5. Check if VWAP or an EMA is near the level. If yes, the confluence strengthens the trade idea.
6. Use the ATR value to understand if the market is expanding (candles are bigger than the ATR). You don't want to stay in a slow and ranging trade.
✅ Example Entry Flow:
1. On the 1H chart, note a trend change level printed recently.
2. Check the current trend label — if it says \"UP,\" prefer longs.
3. Wait for price to retrace toward the level.
4. On the 5m, look for a bullish engulfing candle or trap setup at the level.
5. Check if VWAP and EMA(50) are near. If yes, execute the trade.
6. Set stop just under the low of the candle prior to your entry. Ideally, a retracing candle.
To be clear: imaging to be LONG, you wait for a retracement that should touch your level. You wait for a candle that resumes the LONG trend, enter when it breaks the high of the previous candle (sill in retracement), you place your stop under the candle prior to your entry.
Notes:
No repainting — levels only show up after confirmed shifts.
Removes broken levels for chart clarity and reliability.
Helps spot high-probability pullback zones and fakeouts.
Perfect confluence tool to support price action, SMC, or EMA strategies.
Works across multiple timeframes with customizable inputs.
👤 Ideal For:
Intraday traders looking for reactive entry points and direction confirmation.
Swing traders wanting to pinpoint continuation zones or reversal pivots.
🚨 Final Note: This indicator doesn’t generate buy/sell signals. It improves your trade filtering by identifying areas the market already respected and reacting to them with price action. Combine it with your own system , test it in replay, and use screenshots to document setups.
📌 If used with discipline, this becomes a precision tool — not a signal generator.
SMC+The "SMC+" indicator is a comprehensive tool designed to overlay key Smart Money Concepts (SMC) levels, support/resistance zones, order blocks (OB), fair value gaps (FVG), and trap detection on your TradingView chart. It aims to assist traders in identifying potential areas of interest based on price action, swing structures, and volume dynamics across multiple timeframes. This indicator is fully customizable, allowing users to adjust lookback periods, colors, opacity, and sensitivity to suit their trading style.
Key Components and Functionality
1. Key Levels (Support and Resistance)
This section plots horizontal lines representing support and resistance levels based on highs and lows over three distinct lookback periods, plus daily nearest levels.
Short-Term Lookback Period (Default: 20 bars)
Plots the highest high (short_high) and lowest low (short_low) over the specified period.
Visualized as dotted lines with customizable colors (Short-Term Resistance Color, Short-Term Support Color) and opacity (Short-Term Resistance Opacity, Short-Term Support Opacity).
Adjustment Tip: Increase the lookback (e.g., to 30-50) for less frequent but stronger levels on higher timeframes, or decrease (e.g., to 10-15) for scalping on lower timeframes.
Long-Term Lookback Period (Default: 50 bars)
Plots broader support (long_low) and resistance (long_high) levels using a solid line style.
Customizable via Long-Term Resistance Color, Long-Term Support Color, and their respective opacity settings.
Adjustment Tip: Extend to 100-200 bars for swing trading or major trend analysis on daily/weekly charts.
Extra-Long Lookback Period (Default: 100 bars)
Identifies significant historical highs (extra_long_high) and lows (extra_long_low) with dashed lines.
Configurable with Extra-Long Resistance Color, Extra-Long Support Color, and opacity settings.
Adjustment Tip: Use 200-500 bars for monthly charts to capture macro-level key zones.
Daily Nearest Resistance and Support Levels
Dynamically calculates the nearest resistance (daily_res_level) and support (daily_sup_level) based on the current day’s price action relative to historical highs and lows.
Displayed with Daily Resistance Color and Daily Support Color (with opacity options).
Adjustment Tip: Works best on intraday charts (e.g., 15m, 1h) to track daily pivots; combine with volume profile for confirmation.
How It Works: These levels update dynamically as new highs/lows form, providing a visual guide to potential reversal or breakout zones.
2. SMC Inputs (Smart Money Concepts)
This section identifies swing structures, order blocks, fair value gaps, and entry signals based on SMC principles.
SMC Swing Lookback Period (Default: 12 bars)
Defines the period for detecting swing highs (smc_swing_high) and lows (smc_swing_low).
Adjustment Tip: Increase to 20-30 for smoother swings on higher timeframes; reduce to 5-10 for faster signals on lower timeframes.
Minimum Swing Size (%) (Default: 0.5%)
Filters out minor price movements to focus on significant swings.
Adjustment Tip: Raise to 1-2% for volatile markets (e.g., crypto) to avoid noise; lower to 0.2-0.3% for forex pairs with tight ranges.
Order Block Sensitivity (Default: 1.0)
Scales the size of detected order blocks (OBs) for bullish reversal (smc_ob_bull), bearish reversal (smc_ob_bear), and continuation (smc_cont_ob).
Visuals include customizable colors, opacity, border thickness, and blinking effects (e.g., SMC Bullish Reversal OB Color, SMC Bearish Reversal OB Blink Thickness).
Adjustment Tip: Increase to 1.5-2.0 for wider OBs in choppy markets; keep at 1.0 for precision in trending conditions.
Minimum FVG Size (%) (Default: 0.3%)
Sets the minimum gap size for Fair Value Gaps (fvg_high, fvg_low), displayed as boxes with Fair Value Gap Color and FVG Opacity.
Adjustment Tip: Increase to 0.5-1% for larger, more reliable gaps; decrease to 0.1-0.2% for scalping smaller inefficiencies.
How It Works:
Bullish Reversal OB: Detects a bearish candle followed by a bullish break, marking a potential demand zone.
Bearish Reversal OB: Identifies a bullish candle followed by a bearish break, marking a supply zone.
Continuation OB: Spots strong bullish momentum after a prior high, indicating a continuation zone.
FVG: Highlights bullish gaps where price may retrace to fill.
Entry Signals: Plots triangles (SMC Long Entry) when price retests an OB with a liquidity sweep or break of structure (BOS).
3. Trap Inputs
This section detects potential bull and bear traps based on price action, volume, and key level rejections.
Min Down Move for Bear Trap (%) (Default: 1.0%)
Sets the minimum drop required after a bearish OB to qualify as a trap.
Visualized with Bear Trap Color, Bear Trap Opacity, and blinking borders.
Adjustment Tip: Increase to 2-3% for stronger traps in trending markets; lower to 0.5% for ranging conditions.
Min Up Move for Bull Trap (%) (Default: 1.0%)
Sets the minimum rise required after a bullish OB to flag a trap.
Customizable with Bull Trap Color, Bull Trap Border Thickness, etc.
Adjustment Tip: Adjust similarly to bear traps based on market volatility.
Volume Lookback for Traps (Default: 5 bars)
Compares current volume to a moving average (avg_volume) to filter low-volume traps.
Adjustment Tip: Increase to 10-20 for confirmation on higher timeframes; reduce to 3 for intraday sensitivity.
How It Works:
Bear Trap: Triggers when price drops significantly after a bearish OB but reverses up with low volume or support rejection.
Bull Trap: Activates when price rises after a bullish OB but fails with low volume or resistance rejection.
Boxes highlight trap zones, resetting when price breaks out.
4. Visual Customization
Line Width (Default: 2)
Adjusts thickness of support/resistance lines.
Tip: Increase to 3-4 for visibility on cluttered charts.
Blink On (Default: Close)
Sets whether OB/FVG borders blink based on Open or Close price interaction.
Tip: Use "Open" for intraday precision; "Close" for confirmed reactions.
Colors and Opacity: Each element (OBs, FVGs, traps, key levels) has customizable colors, opacity (0-100), border thickness (1-5 or 1-7), and blink effects for dynamic visualization.
How to Use SMC+
Setup: Apply the indicator to any chart and adjust inputs based on your timeframe and market.
Key Levels: Watch for price reactions at short, long, extra-long, or daily levels for potential reversals or breakouts.
SMC Signals: Look for entry signals (triangles) near OBs or FVGs, confirmed by liquidity sweeps or BOS.
Traps: Avoid false breakouts by monitoring trap boxes, especially near key levels with low volume.
Notes:
This indicator is a visual aid and does not guarantee trading success. Combine it with other analysis tools and risk management strategies.
Performance may vary across markets and timeframes; test settings thoroughly before use.
For optimal results, experiment with lookback periods and sensitivity settings to match your trading style.
The default settings are optimal for 1 minute and 10 second time frames for small cap low float stocks.
Continuation OB are Blue.
Bullish Reversal OB color is Green
Bearish Reversal OB color is Red
FVG color is purple
Bear Trap OB is red with a green border and often appears with a Bearish Reversal OB signaling caution to a short position.
Bull trap OB is green with a Red border signaling caution to a long position.
All active OB area are highlighted and solid in color while other non active OB area are dimmed.
My personal favorite setups are when we have an active bullish reversal with an active FVG along with an active Continuation OB.
Another personal favorite is the Bearish reversal OB signaling an end to a recent uptrend.
The Trap OB detection are also a unique and Original helpful source of information.
The OB have a white boarder by default that are colored black giving a simulated blinking effect when price is acting in that zone.
The Trap OB border are colored with respect to direction of intended trap, all of which can be customized to personal style.
All vaild OB zones are shown compact in size ,a unique and original view until its no longer valid.
High and Low DayHigh and Low Day
This indicator automatically tracks and displays the daily high and low of the current trading session directly on your chart.
Each new day, it resets the levels and plots horizontal lines:
Green Line for the daily high
Red Line for the daily low
It also adds labels (“High Day” and “Low Day”) for easy visual reference.
The levels update in real time as new highs or lows are formed throughout the day.
You can toggle the visibility of these lines and labels using the "Mostrar Linhas do Dia Atual" (Show Current Day Lines) setting.
Perfect for intraday traders looking to keep track of key support and resistance levels during the trading day.

Moving Average Convergence DivergenceThis script is written in Pine Script (version 6) for TradingView and implements the **Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD)** indicator. The MACD is a popular momentum oscillator used to identify trend direction, strength, and potential reversals. This version includes customizable inputs, visual enhancements (like crossover markers), and alerts for key events. Below is a detailed explanation of the script:
---
### **1. Purpose**
- The script calculates and displays the MACD line, signal line, and histogram.
- It highlights key events such as MACD/signal line crossovers and zero-line crosses with shapes and colors.
- It provides alerts for changes in the histogram's direction (rising to falling or vice versa).
---
### **2. User Inputs**
- **Fast Length**: Period for the fast moving average (default: 12).
- **Slow Length**: Period for the slow moving average (default: 26).
- **Source**: Data input for calculation (default: closing price, `close`).
- **Signal Smoothing**: Period for the signal line (default: 9, range: 1–50).
- **Oscillator MA Type**: Type of moving average for MACD calculation (options: SMA or EMA, default: EMA).
- **Signal Line MA Type**: Type of moving average for the signal line (options: SMA or EMA, default: EMA).
---
### **3. MACD Calculation**
The MACD is calculated in three parts:
1. **MACD Line**: Difference between the fast and slow moving averages.
- Fast MA: Either SMA or EMA of the source over `fast_length`.
- Slow MA: Either SMA or EMA of the source over `slow_length`.
- Formula: `macd = fast_ma - slow_ma`.
2. **Signal Line**: A moving average (SMA or EMA) of the MACD line over `signal_length`.
- Formula: `signal = sma_signal == "SMA" ? ta.sma(macd, signal_length) : ta.ema(macd, signal_length)`.
3. **Histogram**: Difference between the MACD line and the signal line.
- Formula: `hist = macd - signal`.
---
### **4. Key Events Detection**
#### **MACD/Signal Line Crossovers**
- **Bullish Cross**: MACD crosses above the signal line (`ta.crossover(macd, signal)`).
- **Bearish Cross**: MACD crosses below the signal line (`ta.crossunder(macd, signal)`).
#### **Zero Line Crosses**
- **Cross Above Zero**: MACD crosses above 0 (`ta.crossover(macd, 0)`).
- **Cross Below Zero**: MACD crosses below 0 (`ta.crossunder(macd, 0)`).
---
### **5. Colors**
- **MACD Line**: Green (#089981) if MACD > signal (bullish), red (#f23645) if MACD < signal (bearish).
- **Signal Line**: White (`color.white`).
- **Histogram**:
- Positive (MACD > signal): Light green (#B2DFDB) if decreasing, darker green (#26A69A) if increasing.
- Negative (MACD < signal): Light red (#FFCDD2) if increasing in magnitude, darker red (#FF5252) if decreasing in magnitude.
- **Zero Line**: Gray with 50% transparency (`color.new(#787B86, 50)`).
---
### **6. Visual Outputs**
#### **Plotted Lines**
- **MACD Line**: Plotted with dynamic coloring based on its position relative to the signal line.
- **Signal Line**: Plotted in white.
- **Histogram**: Displayed as columns, with colors indicating direction and momentum.
- **Zero Line**: Horizontal line at 0 for reference.
#### **Shapes for Key Events**
- **Bullish Cross Below Zero**: Green circle on the MACD line when MACD crosses above the signal line while still below zero.
- **Bearish Cross Above Zero**: Red circle on the MACD line when MACD crosses below the signal line while still above zero.
- **Cross Above Zero**: Green upward label at the zero line when MACD crosses above 0.
- **Cross Below Zero**: Red downward label at the zero line when MACD crosses below 0.
---
### **7. Alerts**
- **Rising to Falling**: Triggers when the histogram switches from positive (or zero) to negative.
- Condition: `hist >= 0 and hist < 0`.
- Message: "MACD histogram switched from rising to falling".
- **Falling to Rising**: Triggers when the histogram switches from negative (or zero) to positive.
- Condition: `hist <= 0 and hist > 0`.
- Message: "MACD histogram switched from falling to rising".
---
### **8. How It Works**
1. **Trend Direction**:
- MACD above signal line (green) suggests bullish momentum.
- MACD below signal line (red) suggests bearish momentum.
2. **Momentum Strength**:
- Histogram height shows the strength of the momentum (larger bars = stronger momentum).
- Histogram color changes indicate whether momentum is increasing or decreasing.
3. **Reversal Signals**:
- Crossovers between MACD and signal lines often signal potential trend changes.
- Zero-line crosses indicate shifts between bullish (above 0) and bearish (below 0) territory.
---
### **9. How to Use**
1. Add the script to TradingView.
2. Adjust inputs (e.g., fast/slow lengths, MA types) to suit your trading style.
3. Monitor the chart:
- Green MACD and upward histogram bars suggest bullish conditions.
- Red MACD and downward histogram bars suggest bearish conditions.
- Watch for circles (crossovers) and labels (zero-line crosses) for trade signals.
4. Set up alerts to notify you of histogram direction changes.
---
### **10. Key Features**
- **Customization**: Flexible MA types and periods.
- **Visual Clarity**: Dynamic colors and shapes highlight key events.
- **Alerts**: Notifies users of momentum shifts via histogram changes.
- **Intuitive**: Combines all MACD components (line, signal, histogram) in one indicator.
This script is ideal for traders who rely on MACD for momentum analysis and want clear visual cues and alerts for decision-making.

ROC + SMI Auto Adjust
This indicator combines the Rate of Change (ROC) and the Stochastic Momentum Index (SMI) with automatically adjusted parameters for different time frames (short, medium, long). It normalizes the ROC to match the SMI levels, displays the ROC as a histogram and the SMI as lines, highlights overbought/oversold zones and includes a settings table. Ideal for analyzing momentum on different time frames.
Key Features:
Automatic Parameter Adjustment:
The script detects the current chart time frame (e.g. 1-minute, 1-hour, daily) and adjusts the parameters for the ROC and SMI accordingly.
Parameters such as ROC length, SMI length and smoothing periods are optimized for short, medium and long term time frames.
Rate of Change (ROC):
ROC measures the percentage change in price over a specified period.
The script normalizes the ROC values to match the SMI range, making it easier to compare the two indicators on the same scale.
The ROC is displayed as a histogram, where positive values are colored green and negative values are colored red.
Stochastic Momentum Index (SMI):
SMI is a momentum oscillator that identifies overbought and oversold conditions.
The script calculates the SMI and its signal line, plotting them on the chart.
Overbought and oversold levels are displayed as dotted lines for convenience.
SMI and SMI Signal Crossover:
When the main SMI crosses the signal line from below upwards, it may be a buy signal (bullish signal).
When the SMI crosses the signal line from above downwards, it may be a sell signal (bearish signal).
Configurable Inputs:
Users can use the automatically adjusted settings or manually override the parameters (e.g. ROC length, SMI length, smoothing periods).
Overbought and oversold levels for SMI are also configurable.
Parameter Table:
A table is displayed on the chart showing the current parameters (e.g. timeframe, ROC length, SMI length) for transparency and debugging.
The position of the table is configurable (e.g. top left, bottom right).
How it works:
The script first detects the chart timeframe and classifies it as short-term (e.g. 1M, 5M), medium-term (e.g. 1H, 4H) or long-term (e.g. D1, W1).
Based on the timeframe, it sets default values for the ROC and SMI parameters.
ROC and SMI are calculated and normalized so that they can be compared on the same scale.
ROC is displayed as a histogram, while SMI and its signal line are displayed as lines.
Overbought and oversold levels are displayed as horizontal lines.
Use cases:
Trend identification: ROC helps to identify the strength of the trend, while SMI indicates overbought/oversold conditions.
Momentum analysis: The combination of ROC and SMI provides insight into both price momentum and potential reversals.
Time frame flexibility: The auto-adjustment feature makes the script suitable for scalping (short-term), swing trading (medium-term) and long-term investing.
