Smart Trend Lines [The_lurker]
Smart Trend Lines
A multi-level trend classifier that detects bullish and bearish conditions using a methodology based on drawing trend lines—main, intermediate, and short-term—by identifying peaks and troughs. The tool highlights trend strength by applying filters such as the Average Directional Index (ADX) (A), Relative Strength Index (RSI) (R), and Volume (V), making it easier to interpret trend strength. The filter markers (V, A, R) in the Smart Trend Lines indicator are powerful tools for assessing the reliability of breakouts. Breakouts containing are the most reliable, as they indicate strong volume support, trend strength, and favorable momentum. Breakouts with partial filters (such as or ) require additional confirmation, while breakouts without filters ( ) should be avoided unless supported by other strong signals. By understanding the meaning of each filter and the market context.
Core Functionality
1. Trend Line Types
The indicator generates three distinct trend line categories, each serving a specific analytical purpose:
Main Trend Lines: These are long-term trend lines designed to capture significant market trends. They are calculated based on pivot points over a user-defined period (default: 50 bars). Main trend lines are ideal for identifying macro-level support and resistance zones.
Mid Trend Lines: These are medium-term trend lines (default: 21 bars) that focus on intermediate price movements. They provide a balance between short-term fluctuations and long-term trends, suitable for swing trading strategies.
Short Trend Lines: These are short-term trend lines (default: 9 bars) that track rapid price changes. They are particularly useful for scalping or day trading, highlighting immediate support and resistance levels.
Each trend line type can be independently enabled or disabled, allowing traders to tailor the indicator to their preferred timeframes.
2. Breakout Detection
The indicator employs a robust breakout detection system that identifies when the price crosses a trend line, signaling a potential trend reversal or continuation. Breakouts are validated using the following filters:
ADX Filter: The Average Directional Index (ADX) measures trend strength. A user-defined threshold (default: 20) ensures that breakouts occur during strong trends, reducing false signals in range-bound markets.
RSI Filter: The Relative Strength Index (RSI) identifies overbought or oversold conditions. Breakouts are filtered based on RSI thresholds (default: 65 for overbought, 35 for oversold) to avoid signals in extreme market conditions.
Volume Filter: Breakouts are confirmed only when trading volume exceeds a moving average (default: 20 bars) and aligns with the breakout direction (e.g., higher volume on bullish breakouts when the candle closes higher).
Breakout events are marked with labels on the chart, indicating the type of trend line broken (Main, Mid, or Short) and the filters satisfied (Volume, ADX, RSI). Alerts are triggered for each breakout, providing real-time notifications.
3. Customization Options
The indicator offers extensive customization through input settings, organized into logical groups for ease of use:
Main Trend Line Settings
Length: Defines the number of bars used to calculate pivot points (default: 50).
Bullish Color: Color for upward-sloping (bullish) main trend lines (default: green).
Bearish Color: Color for downward-sloping (bearish) main trend lines (default: red).
Style: Line style options include solid, dashed, or dotted (default: solid).
Mid Trend Line Settings
Length: Number of bars for mid-term pivot points (default: 21).
Show/Hide: Toggle visibility of mid trend lines (default: enabled).
Bullish Color: Color for bullish mid trend lines (default: lime).
Bearish Color: Color for bearish mid trend lines (default: maroon).
Style: Line style (default: dashed).
Short Trend Line Settings
Length: Number of bars for short-term pivot points (default: 9).
Show/Hide: Toggle visibility of short trend lines (default: enabled).
Bullish Color: Color for bullish short trend lines (default: teal).
Bearish Color: Color for bearish short trend lines (default: purple).
Style: Line style (default: dotted).
General Display Settings
Break Check Price: Selects the price type for breakout detection (Close, High, or Low; default: Close).
Show Previous Trendlines: Option to display historical main trend lines (default: disabled).
Label Size: Size of breakout labels (Tiny, Small, Normal, Large, Huge; default: Small).
Filter Settings
ADX Threshold: Minimum ADX value for trend strength confirmation (default: 25).
Volume MA Period: Period for the volume moving average (default: 20).
RSI Filter: Enable/disable RSI filtering (default: enabled).
RSI Upper Threshold: Upper RSI limit for overbought conditions (default: 65).
RSI Lower Threshold: Lower RSI limit for oversold conditions (default: 35).
4. Technical Calculations
The indicator relies on several technical calculations to ensure accuracy:
Pivot Points: Pivot highs and lows are detected using the ta.pivothigh and ta.pivotlow functions, with separate lengths for Main, Mid, and Short trend lines.
Slope Calculation: The slope of each trend line is calculated as the change in price divided by the change in bar index between two pivot points.
ADX Calculation: ADX is computed using a 14-period Directional Movement Index (DMI), with smoothing over 14 bars.
RSI Calculation: RSI is calculated over a 14-period lookback using the ta.rsi function.
Volume Moving Average: A simple moving average (SMA) of volume is used to determine if current volume exceeds the average.
5. Strict Mode Validation
To ensure the reliability of trend lines, the indicator employs a strict mode check:
For bearish trend lines, all prices between pivot points must remain below the projected trend line.
For bullish trend lines, all prices must remain above the projected trend line.
Post-pivot break checks ensure that no breakouts occur between pivot points, enhancing the validity of the trend line.
6. Trend Line Extension
Trend lines are dynamically extended forward until a breakout occurs. The extension logic:
Projects the trend line using the calculated slope.
Continuously validates the extension using strict mode checks.
Stops extension upon a breakout, fixing the trend line at the breakout point.
7. Alerts and Labels
Labels: Breakout labels are placed above (for bearish breakouts) or below (for bullish breakouts) the price bar. Labels include:
A prefix indicating the trend line type (B for Main, M for Mid, S for Short).
A suffix showing satisfied filters (e.g., for Volume, ADX, and RSI).
Alerts: Each breakout triggers a one-time alert per bar close, with a descriptive message indicating the trend line type and filters met.
Detailed Code Breakdown
1. Initialization and Inputs
The script begins by defining the indicator with indicator('Smart Trend Lines ', overlay = true), ensuring it overlays on the price chart. Input settings are grouped into categories (Main, Mid, Short, General Display, Filters) for user convenience. Each input includes a tooltip in both English and Arabic, enhancing accessibility.
2. Technical Indicator Calculations
Volume MA: Calculated using ta.sma(volume, volPeriod) to compare current volume against the average.
ADX: Computed using custom dirmov and adx functions, which calculate the Directional Movement Index and smooth it over 14 periods.
RSI: Calculated with ta.rsi(close, rsiPeriod) over 14 periods.
Price Selection: The priceToCheck function selects the price type (Close, High, or Low) for breakout detection.
3. Pivot Detection
Pivot points are detected using ta.pivothigh and ta.pivotlow for each trend line type. The lookback period is set to the respective trend line length (e.g., 50 for Main, 21 for Mid, 9 for Short).
4. Trend Line Logic
For each trend line type (Main, Mid, Short):
Bearish Trend Lines: Identified when two consecutive pivot highs form a downward slope. The script validates the trend line using strict mode and post-pivot break checks.
Bullish Trend Lines: Identified when two consecutive pivot lows form an upward slope, with similar validation.
Trend lines are drawn using line.new, with separate lines for the initial segment (between pivots) and the extended segment (from the second pivot forward).
5. Breakout Detection and Labeling
Breakouts are detected when the selected price crosses the trend line level. The script checks:
Volume conditions (above average and aligned with candle direction).
ADX condition (above threshold).
RSI condition (within thresholds if enabled). Labels are created with label.new, and alerts are triggered with alert.
6. Trend Line Extension
The extendTrendline function dynamically updates the trend line’s endpoint unless a breakout occurs. It uses strict mode checks to ensure the trend line remains valid.
7. Previous Trend Lines
If enabled, previous main trend lines are stored in arrays (previousBearishStartLines, previousBullishTrendLines, etc.) and displayed on the chart, providing historical context.

⯁ SCIENTIFIC BASIS LINEAR REGRESSION
Linear Regression is a fundamental method of statistics and machine learning, used to model the relationship between a dependent variable y and one or more independent variables 𝑥.
The general formula for a simple linear regression is given by:
y = β₀ + β₁x + ε
β₁ = Σ((xᵢ - x̄)(yᵢ - ȳ)) / Σ((xᵢ - x̄)²)
β₀ = ȳ - β₁x̄
Where:
y = is the predicted variable (e.g. future value of RSI)
x = is the explanatory variable (e.g. time or bar index)
β0 = is the intercept (value of 𝑦 when 𝑥 = 0)
𝛽1 = is the slope of the line (rate of change)
ε = is the random error term
The goal is to estimate the coefficients 𝛽0 and 𝛽1 so as to minimize the sum of the squared errors — the so-called Random Error Method Least Squares.
⯁ LEAST SQUARES ESTIMATION
To minimize the error between predicted and observed values, we use the following formulas:
β₁ = /
β₀ = ȳ - β₁x̄
Where:
∑ = sum
x̄ = mean of x
ȳ = mean of y
x_i, y_i = individual values of the variables.
Where:
x_i and y_i are the means of the independent and dependent variables, respectively.
i ranges from 1 to n, the number of observations.
These equations guarantee the best linear unbiased estimator, according to the Gauss-Markov theorem, assuming homoscedasticity and linearity.
⯁ LINEAR REGRESSION IN MACHINE LEARNING
Linear regression is one of the cornerstones of supervised learning. Its simplicity and ability to generate accurate quantitative predictions make it essential in AI systems, predictive algorithms, time series analysis, and automated trading strategies.
By applying this model to the ADX, you are literally putting artificial intelligence at the heart of a classic indicator, bringing a new dimension to technical analysis.
⯁ VISUAL INTERPRETATION
Imagine an ADX time series like this:
Time →
ADX →
The regression line will smooth these values and extend them n periods into the future, creating a predicted trajectory based on the historical moment. This line becomes the predicted ADX, which can be crossed with the actual ADX to generate more intelligent signals.
⯁ SUMMARY OF SCIENTIFIC CONCEPTS USED
Linear Regression Models the relationship between variables using a straight line.
Least Squares Minimizes the sum of squared errors between prediction and reality.
Time Series Forecasting Estimates future values based on historical data.
Supervised Learning Trains models to predict outputs from known inputs.
Statistical Smoothing Reduces noise and reveals underlying trends.
⯁ WHY THIS INDICATOR IS REVOLUTIONARY
Scientifically-based: Based on statistical theory and mathematical inference.
Unprecedented: First public ADX with least squares predictive modeling.
Intelligent: Built with machine learning logic.
Practical: Generates forward-thinking signals.
Customizable: Flexible for any trading strategy.
⯁ CONCLUSION
By combining ADX with linear regression, this indicator allows a trader to predict market momentum, not just follow it.
ADX Forecast is not just an indicator — it is a scientific breakthrough in technical analysis technology.
⯁ Example of simple linear regression, which has one independent variable:
⯁ In linear regression, observations ( red ) are considered to be the result of random deviations ( green ) from an underlying relationship ( blue ) between a dependent variable ( y ) and an independent variable ( x ).
⯁ Visualizing heteroscedasticity in a scatterplot against 100 random fitted values using Matlab:
⯁ The data sets in the Anscombe's quartet are designed to have approximately the same linear regression line (as well as nearly identical means, standard deviations, and correlations) but are graphically very different. This illustrates the pitfalls of relying solely on a fitted model to understand the relationship between variables.
⯁ The result of fitting a set of data points with a quadratic function:

⯁ WHAT IS THE ADX❓
The Average Directional Index (ADX) is a technical analysis indicator developed by J. Welles Wilder. It measures the strength of a trend in a market, regardless of whether the trend is up or down.
The ADX is an integral part of the Directional Movement System, which also includes the Plus Directional Indicator (+DI) and the Minus Directional Indicator (-DI). By combining these components, the ADX provides a comprehensive view of market trend strength.
⯁ HOW TO USE THE ADX❓
The ADX is calculated based on the moving average of the price range expansion over a specified period (usually 14 periods). It is plotted on a scale from 0 to 100 and has three main zones:
• Strong Trend: When the ADX is above 25, indicating a strong trend.
• Weak Trend: When the ADX is below 20, indicating a weak or non-existent trend.
• Neutral Zone: Between 20 and 25, where the trend strength is unclear.

Dynamic Liquidity Depth [BigBeluga]
Dynamic Liquidity Depth
A liquidity mapping engine that reveals hidden zones of market vulnerability. This tool simulates where potential large concentrations of stop-losses may exist — above recent highs (sell-side) and below recent lows (buy-side) — by analyzing real price behavior and directional volume. The result is a dynamic two-sided volume profile that highlights where price is most likely to gravitate during liquidation events, reversals, or engineered stop hunts.
🔵 KEY FEATURES
Two-Sided Liquidity Profiles:
Plots two separate profiles on the chart — one above price for potential sell-side liquidity , and one below price for potential buy-side liquidity . Each profile reflects the volume distribution across binned zones derived from historical highs and lows.
Real Stop Zone Simulation:
Each profile is offset from the current high or low using an ATR-based buffer. This simulates where traders might cluster their stop-losses above swing highs (short stops) or below swing lows (long stops).
Directional Volume Analysis:
Buy-side volume is accumulated only from bullish candles (close > open), while sell-side volume is accumulated only from bearish candles (close < open). This directional filtering enhances accuracy by capturing genuine pressure zones.
Dynamic Volume Heatmap:
Each liquidity bin is rendered as a horizontal box with a color gradient based on volume intensity:
- Low activity bins are shaded lightly.
- High-volume zones appear more vividly in red (sell) or lime (buy).
- The maximum volume bin in each profile is emphasized with a brighter fill and a volume label.
Extended POC Zones:
The Point of Control (PoC) — the bin with the most volume — is extended backwards across the entire lookback period to mark critical resistance (sell-side) or support (buy-side) levels.
Total Volume Summary Labels:
At the center of each profile, a summary label displays Total Buy Liquidity and Total Sell Liquidity volume.
This metric helps assess directional imbalance — when buy liquidity is dominant, the market may favor upward continuation, and vice versa.
Customizable Profile Granularity:
You can fine-tune both Resolution (Bins) and Offset Distance to adjust how far profiles are displaced from price and how many levels are calculated within the ATR range.
🔵 HOW IT WORKS
The indicator calculates an ATR-based buffer above highs and below lows to define the top and bottom of the liquidity zones.
Using a user-defined lookback period, it scans historical candles and divides the buffered zones into bins.
Each bin checks if bullish (or bearish) candles pass through it based on price wicks and body.
Volume from valid candles is summed into the corresponding bin.
When volume exists in a bin, a horizontal box is drawn with a width scaled by relative volume strength.
The bin with the highest volume is highlighted and optionally extended backward as a zone of importance.
Total buy/sell liquidity is displayed with a summary label at the side of the profile.
🔵 USAGE/b]
Identify Stop Hunt Zones: High-volume clusters near swing highs/lows are likely liquidation zones targeted during fakeouts.
Fade or Follow Reactions: Price hitting a high-volume bin may reverse (fade opportunity) or break with strength (confirmation breakout).
Layer with Other Tools: Combine with market structure, order blocks, or trend filters to validate entries near liquidity.
Adjust Offset for Sensitivity: Use higher offset to simulate wider stop placement; use lower for tighter scalping zones.
🔵 CONCLUSION
Dynamic Liquidity Depth transforms raw price and volume into a spatial map of liquidity. By revealing areas where stop orders are likely hidden, it gives traders insight into price manipulation zones, potential reversal levels, and breakout traps. Whether you're hunting for traps or trading with the flow, this tool equips you to navigate liquidity with precision.
Time-Based Fair Value Gaps (FVG) with Inversions (iFVG)Overview
The Time-Based Fair Value Gaps (FVG) with Inversions (iFVG) (ICT/SMT) indicator is a specialized tool designed for traders using Inner Circle Trader (ICT) methodologies. Inspired by LuxAlgo's Fair Value Gap indicator, this script introduces significant enhancements by integrating ICT principles, focusing on precise time-based FVG detection, inversion tracking, and retest signals tailored for institutional trading strategies. Unlike LuxAlgo’s general FVG approach, this indicator filters FVGs within customizable 10-minute windows aligned with ICT’s macro timeframes and incorporates ICT-specific concepts like mitigation, liquidity grabs, and session-based gap prioritization.
This tool is optimized for 1–5 minute charts, though probably best for 1 minute charts, identifying bullish and bearish FVGs, tracking their mitigation into inverted FVGs (iFVGs) as key support/resistance zones, and generating retest signals with customizable “Close” or “Wick” confirmation. Features like ATR-based filtering, optional FVG labels, mitigation removal, and session-specific FVG detection (e.g., first FVG in AM/PM sessions) make it a powerful tool for ICT traders.
Originality and Improvements
While inspired by LuxAlgo’s FVG indicator (credit to LuxAlgo for their foundational work), this script significantly extends the original concept by:
1. Time-Based FVG Detection: Unlike LuxAlgo’s continuous FVG identification, this script filters FVGs within user-defined 10-minute windows each hour (:00–:10, :10–:20, etc.), aligning with ICT’s emphasis on specific periods of institutional activity, such as hourly opens/closes or kill zones (e.g., New York 7:00–11:00 AM EST). This ensures FVGs are relevant to high-probability ICT setups.
2. Session-Specific First FVG Option: A unique feature allows traders to display only the first FVG in ICT-defined AM (9:30–10:00 AM EST) or PM (1:30–2:00 PM EST) sessions, reflecting ICT’s focus on initial market imbalances during key liquidity events.
3. ICT-Driven Mitigation and Inversion Logic: The script tracks FVG mitigation (when price closes through a gap) and converts mitigated FVGs into iFVGs, which serve as ICT-style support/resistance zones. This aligns with ICT’s view that mitigated gaps become critical reversal points, unlike LuxAlgo’s simpler gap display.
4. Customizable Retest Signals: Retest signals for iFVGs are configurable for “Close” (conservative, requiring candle body confirmation) or “Wick” (faster, using highs/lows), catering to ICT traders’ need for precise entry timing during liquidity grabs or Judas swings.
5. ATR Filtering and Mitigation Removal: An optional ATR filter ensures only significant FVGs are displayed, reducing noise, while mitigation removal declutters the chart by removing filled gaps, aligning with ICT’s principle that mitigated gaps lose relevance unless inverted.
6. Timezone and Timeframe Safeguards: A timezone offset setting aligns FVG detection with EST for ICT’s New York-centric strategies, and a timeframe warning alerts users to avoid ≥1-hour charts, ensuring accuracy in time-based filtering.
These enhancements make the script a distinct tool that builds on LuxAlgo’s foundation while offering ICT traders a tailored, high-precision solution.
How It Works
FVG Detection
FVGs are identified when a candle’s low is higher than the high of two candles prior (bullish FVG) or a candle’s high is lower than the low of two candles prior (bearish FVG). Detection is restricted to:
• User-selected 10-minute windows (e.g., :00–:10, :50–:60) to capture ICT-relevant periods like hourly transitions.
• AM/PM session first FVGs (if enabled), focusing on 9:30–10:00 AM or 1:30–2:00 PM EST for key market opens.
An optional ATR filter (default: 0.25× ATR) ensures only gaps larger than the threshold are displayed, prioritizing significant imbalances.
Mitigation and Inversion
When price closes through an FVG (e.g., below a bullish FVG’s bottom), the FVG is mitigated and becomes an iFVG, plotted as a support/resistance zone. iFVGs are critical in ICT for identifying reversal points where institutional orders accumulate.
Retest Signals
The script generates signals when price retests an iFVG:
• Close: Triggers when the candle body confirms the retest (conservative, lower noise).
• Wick: Triggers when the candle’s high/low touches the iFVG (faster, higher sensitivity). Signals are visualized with triangular markers (▲ for bullish, ▼ for bearish) and can trigger alerts.
Visualization
• FVGs: Displayed as colored boxes (green for bullish, red for bearish) with optional “Bull FVG”/“Bear FVG” labels.
• iFVGs: Shown as extended boxes with dashed midlines, limited to the user-defined number of recent zones (default: 5).
• Mitigation Removal: Mitigated FVGs/iFVGs are removed (if enabled) to keep the chart clean.
How to Use
Recommended Settings
• Timeframe: Use 1–5 minute charts for precision, avoiding ≥1-hour timeframes (a warning label appears if misconfigured).
• Time Windows: Enable :00–:10 and :50–:60 for hourly open/close FVGs, or use the “Show only 1st presented FVG” option for AM/PM session focus.
• ATR Filter: Keep enabled (multiplier 0.25–0.5) for significant gaps; disable on 1-minute charts for more FVGs during volatility.
• Signal Preference: Use “Close” for conservative entries, “Wick” for aggressive setups.
• Timezone Offset: Set to -5 for EST (or -4 for EDT) to align with ICT’s New York session.
Trading Strategy
1. Macro Timeframes: Focus on New York (7:00–11:00 AM EST) or London (2:00–5:00 AM EST) kill zones for high institutional activity.
2. FVG Entries: Trade bullish FVGs as support in uptrends or bearish FVGs as resistance in downtrends, especially in :00–:10 or :50–:60 windows.
3. iFVG Retests: Enter on retest signals (▲/▼) during liquidity grabs or Judas swings, using “Close” for confirmation or “Wick” for speed.
4. Session FVGs: Use the “Show only 1st presented FVG” option to target the first gap in AM/PM sessions, often tied to ICT’s market maker algorithms.
5. Risk Management: Combine with ICT concepts like order blocks or breaker blocks for confluence, and set stops beyond FVG/iFVG boundaries.
Alerts
Set alerts for:
• “Bullish FVG Detected”/“Bearish FVG Detected”: New FVGs in selected windows.

External Signals Strategy Tester v5External Signals Strategy Tester v5 – User Guide (English)
1. Purpose
This Pine Script strategy is a universal back‑tester that lets you plug in any external buy/sell series (for example, another indicator, webhook feed, or higher‑time‑frame condition) and evaluate a rich set of money‑management rules around it – with a single click on/off workflow for every module.
2. Core Workflow
Feed signals
Buy Signal / Sell Signal inputs accept any series (price, boolean, output of request.security(), etc.).
A crossover above 0 is treated as “signal fired”.
Date filter
Start Date / End Date restricts the test window so you can exclude unwanted history.
Trade engine
Optional Long / Short enable toggles.
Choose whether opposite signals simply close the trade or reverse it (flip direction in one transaction).
Risk modules – all opt‑in via check‑boxes
Classic % block – fixed % Take‑Profit / Stop‑Loss / Break‑Even.
Fibonacci Bollinger Bands (FBB) module
Draws dynamic VWMA/HMA/SMA/EMA/DEMA/TEMA mid‑line with ATR‑scaled Fibonacci envelopes.
Every line can be used for stops, trailing, or multi‑target exits.
Separate LONG and SHORT sub‑modules
Each has its own SL plus three Take‑Profits (TP1‑TP3).
Per TP you set line, position‑percentage to close, and an optional trailing flag.
Executed TP/SLs deactivate themselves so they cannot refire.
Trailing behaviour
If Trail is checked, the selected line is re‑evaluated once per bar; the order is amended via strategy.exit().
3. Inputs Overview
Group Parameter Notes
Trade Settings Enable Long / Enable Short Master switches
Close on Opposite / Reverse Position How to react to a counter‑signal
Risk % Use TP / SL / BE + their % Traditional fixed‑distance management
Fibo Bands FIBO LEVELS ENABLE + visual style/length Turn indicator overlay on/off
FBB LONG SL / TP1‑TP3 Enable, Line, %, Trail Rules applied only while a long is open
FBB SHORT SL / TP1‑TP3 Enable, Line, %, Trail Rules applied only while a short is open
Line choices: Basis, 0.236, 0.382, 0.5, 0.618, 0.764, 1.0 – long rules use lower bands, short rules use upper bands automatically.
4. Algorithm Details
Position open
On the very first bar after entry, the script checks the direction and activates the corresponding LONG or SHORT module, deactivating the other.
Order management loop (every bar)
FBB Stop‑Loss: placed/updated at chosen band; if trailing, follows the new value.
TP1‑TP3: each active target updates its limit price to the selected band (or holds static if trailing is off).
The classic % block runs in parallel; its exits have priority because they call strategy.close_all().
Exit handling
When any strategy.exit() fires, the script reads exit_id and flips the *_Active flag so that order will not be recreated.
A Stop‑Loss (SL) also disables all remaining TPs for that leg.
5. Typical Use Cases
Scenario Suggested Setup
Scalping longs into VWAP‐reversion Enable LONG TP1 @ 0.382 (30 %), TP2 @ 0.618 (40 %), SL @ 0.236 + trailing
Fade shorts during news spikes Enable SHORT SL @ 1.0 (no trail) and SHORT TP1,2,3 on consecutive lowers with small size‑outs
Classic trend‑follow Use only classic % TP/SL block and disable FBB modules
6. Hints & Tips
Signal quality matters – this script manages exits, it does not generate entries.
Keep TV time zone in mind when picking start/end dates.
For portfolio‑style testing allocate smaller default_qty_value than 100 % or use strategy.percent_of_equity sizing.
You can combine FBB exits with fixed‑% ones for layered management.
7. Limitations / Safety
No pyramiding; the script holds max one position at a time.
All calculations are bar‑close; intra‑bar touches may differ from real‑time execution.
The indicator overlay is optional, so you can run visual‑clean tests by unchecking FIBO LEVELS ENABLE.
Z-Score Trend Monitor [EdgeTerminal]The Z-Score Trend Monitor measures how far the short-term moving average deviates from the long-term moving average using the spread difference of the two — in standardized units. It’s designed to detect overextension, momentum exhaustion, and potential mean-reversion points by converting the spread between two moving averages into a normalized Z-score and tracking its change and direction over time.
The idea behind this is to catch the changes in the direction of a trend earlier than the usual and lagging moving average lines, allowing you to react faster.
The math behind the indicator itself is very simple. We take the simple moving average of the spread between a long term and short term moving average, and divide it by the difference between the spread and spread mean.
This results in a relatively accurate and early acting trend detector that can easily identify overbought and oversold levels in any timeframe. From our own testing, we recommend using this indicator as a trend confirmation tool.
How to Use It:
Keep an eye on the Z-Score or the blue line. When it goes over 2, it indicates an overbought or near top level, and when it goes below -2, it indicates an oversold or near bottom.
When Z-Score returns to zero or grey line, it suggests mean reversion is in progress.
You can also change the Z-Score criteria from 2 and -2 in the settings to any number you’d like for tighter or wider levels.
For scalping and fast trading setups, we recommend shorter SMAs, such as 5 and 20, and for longer trading setups such as swing trades, we recommend 20 and 100.
Settings:
Short SMA: Lookback period of short term simple moving average for the lower side of the SMA spread.
Short Term Weight: Additional weight or multiplier to suppress the short term SMA calculation. This is used to refine the SMA calculation for more granular and edge cases when needed, usually left at 1, meaning it will take the entire given value in the short SMA field.
Long SMA: Lookback period of long term simple moving average for the upper side of the SMA spread.
Long Term Weight: Additional weight or multiplier to suppress the long term SMA calculation. This is used to refine the long SMA calculation for more granular and edge cases when needed, usually left at 1, meaning it will take the entire given value in the long SMA field.
Z-Score Threshold: The threshold for upper (oversold) and lower (overbought) levels. This can also be set individually from the style page.
Z-Score Lookback Window: The lookback period to calculate spread mean and spread standard deviation
C&B Auto MK5C&B Auto MK5.2ema BullBear
Overview
The C&B Auto MK5.2ema BullBear is a versatile Pine Script indicator designed to help traders identify bullish and bearish market conditions across various timeframes. It combines Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs), Relative Strength Index (RSI), Average True Range (ATR), and customizable time filters to generate actionable signals. The indicator overlays on the price chart, displaying EMAs, a dynamic cloud, scaled RSI levels, bull/bear signals, and market condition labels, making it suitable for swing trading, day trading, or scalping in trending or volatile markets.
What It Does
This indicator generates bull and bear signals based on the interaction of two EMAs, filtered by RSI thresholds, ATR-based volatility, a 50/200 EMA trend filter, and user-defined time windows. It adapts to market volatility by adjusting EMA lengths and RSI thresholds. A dynamic cloud highlights trend direction or neutral zones, with candlestick coloring in neutral conditions. Market condition labels (current and historical) provide real-time trend and volatility context, displayed above the chart.
How It Works
The indicator uses the following components:
EMAs: Two EMAs (short and long) are calculated on a user-selected timeframe (1, 5, 15, 30, or 60 minutes). Their crossover or crossunder triggers potential bull/bear signals. EMA lengths adjust based on volatility (e.g., 10/20 for volatile markets, 5/10 for non-volatile).
Dynamic Cloud: The area between the EMAs forms a cloud, colored green for bullish trends, red for bearish trends, or a user-defined color (default yellow) for neutral zones (when EMAs are close, determined by an ATR-based threshold). Users can widen the cloud for visibility.
RSI Filter: RSI is scaled to price levels and plotted on the chart (optional). Signals are filtered to ensure RSI is within volatility-adjusted bull/bear thresholds and not in overbought/oversold zones.
ATR Volatility Filter: An optional filter ensures signals occur during sufficient volatility (ATR(14) > SMA(ATR, 20)).
50/200 EMA Trend Filter: An optional filter restricts bull signals to bullish trends (50 EMA > 200 EMA) and bear signals to bearish trends (50 EMA < 200 EMA).
Time Filter: Signals are restricted to a user-defined UTC time window (default 9:00–15:00), aligning with active trading sessions.
Market Condition Labels: Labels above the chart display the current trend (Bullish, Bearish, Neutral) and optionally volatility (e.g., “Bullish Volatile”). Up to two historical labels persist for a user-defined number of bars (default 5) to show recent trend changes.
Visual Aids: Bull signals appear as green triangles/labels below the bar, bear signals as red triangles/labels above. Candlesticks in neutral zones are colored (default yellow).
The indicator ensures compatibility with standard chart types (e.g., candlestick or bar charts) to produce realistic signals, avoiding non-standard types like Heikin Ashi or Renko.
How to Use It
Add to Chart: Apply the indicator to a candlestick or bar chart on TradingView.
Configure Settings:
Timeframe: Choose a timeframe (1, 5, 15, 30, or 60 minutes) to match your trading style.
Filters:
Enable/disable the ATR volatility filter to focus on high-volatility periods.
Enable/disable the 50/200 EMA trend filter to align signals with the broader trend.
Enable the time filter and set custom UTC hours/minutes (default 9:00–15:00).
Cloud Settings: Adjust the cloud width, neutral zone threshold, color, and transparency.
EMA Colors: Use default trend-based colors or set custom colors for short/long EMAs.
RSI Display: Toggle the scaled RSI and its thresholds, with customizable colors.
Signal Settings: Toggle bull/bear labels and set signal colors.
Market Condition Labels: Toggle current/historical labels, include/exclude volatility, and adjust decay period.
Interpret Signals:
Bull Signal: A green triangle or “Bull” label below the bar indicates potential bullish momentum (EMA crossover, RSI above bull threshold, within time window, passing filters).
Bear Signal: A red triangle or “Bear” label above the bar indicates potential bearish momentum (EMA crossunder, RSI below bear threshold, within time window, passing filters).
Neutral Zone: Yellow candlesticks and cloud (if enabled) suggest a lack of clear trend; consider range-bound strategies or avoid trading.
Market Condition Labels: Check labels above the chart for real-time trend (Bullish, Bearish, Neutral) and volatility status to confirm market context.
Monitor Context: Use the cloud, RSI, and labels to assess trend strength and volatility before acting on signals.
Unique Features
Volatility-Adaptive EMAs: Automatically adjusts EMA lengths based on ATR to suit volatile or non-volatile markets, reducing manual configuration.
Neutral Zone Detection: Uses an ATR-based threshold to identify low-trend periods, helping traders avoid choppy markets.
Scaled RSI Visualization: Plots RSI and thresholds directly on the price chart, simplifying momentum analysis relative to price.
Flexible Time Filtering: Supports precise UTC-based trading windows, ideal for day traders targeting specific sessions.
Historical Market Labels: Displays recent trend changes (up to two) with a decay period, providing context for market shifts.
50/200 EMA Trend Filter: Aligns signals with the broader market trend, enhancing signal reliability.
Notes
Use on standard candlestick or bar charts to ensure accurate signals.
Test the indicator on a demo account to optimize settings for your market and timeframe.
Combine with other analysis (e.g., support/resistance, volume) for better decision-making.
The indicator is not a standalone system; use it as part of a broader trading strategy.
Limitations
Signals may lag in fast-moving markets due to EMA-based calculations.
Neutral zone detection may vary in extremely volatile or illiquid markets.
Time filters are UTC-based; ensure your platform’s timezone settings align.
This indicator is designed for traders seeking a customizable, trend-following tool that adapts to volatility and provides clear visual cues with robust filtering for bullish and bearish market conditions.

🧩 Endless combo potential — confluence on your terms
📈 What Is an EMA?
The EMA is a type of moving average that adjusts more quickly to recent price changes than a Simple Moving Average (SMA). It does this by giving exponentially more weight to the most recent candles.
⚙️ How Does It Function?
Smoothing Price Data:
It takes the average of closing prices over a chosen period (like 20 or 50 candles), but gives more influence to the latest prices.
Reacts Quickly to Price Shifts:
Since recent data is weighted more heavily, the EMA adjusts faster to sudden price changes — helping you spot trend reversals or momentum shifts earlier.
Dynamic Support & Resistance:
Traders often use EMAs as moving support/resistance levels. Price often "respects" EMAs in trending markets — bouncing off them during pullbacks.
Trend Confirmation:
- If price is above the EMA, the market is likely in an uptrend.
- If price is below the EMA, the market is likely in a downtrend.
- Multiple EMAs (like 12/21 or 50/200) crossing each other are used for entry/exit signals.
💡 Example:
If you use a 21 EMA on a chart, it shows you the average price of the last 21 candles, but the most recent ones weigh heavier. This makes the EMA more responsive than an SMA, and better for short-term or active trading.
📊 Why EMAs Matter — and How Multi-Timeframe EMAs Give You the Edge
Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) are essential tools for identifying trend direction, momentum shifts, and dynamic support/resistance. Because they weight recent price data more heavily, EMAs adapt quickly to changing market conditions, giving traders early insight into reversals or continuations.
Where this script shines is in its multi-timeframe (MTF) capability. For example, plotting a daily EMA on a 4H chart gives you high-level directional guidance while still allowing precision entries. This enables confluence between LTF (low timeframe) signals and HTF (high timeframe) momentum — a crucial edge used by institutional-level traders.
You can configure the tool to run classic combos like the 12/21 crossover on your current chart, while layering in a 50 or 200 EMA from a higher timeframe for macro confirmation. The 6th EMA, colored light blue by default, is perfect for adding one final level of structure insight — often used as a long-term anchor or trend bias marker.
Whether you're riding the wave or catching the reversal, these EMAs serve as your adaptable compass in every environment.
🎯 Purpose
This indicator was built to give traders a clear, responsive, and multi-timeframe edge using dynamic Exponential Moving Averages. Whether you're trend-following, identifying momentum shifts, or building a confluence system — these 6 EMAs are here to align with your strategy and style.
💡 Pro Tip
Instead of cluttering your chart with multiple EMA indicators, this script consolidates all into one sleek tool. You can toggle off bands you don't currently need, like running only the 12/21 EMAs on your active chart timeframe, while adding the 12/21 EMAs from a higher timeframe to guide trade decisions.
With this setup, you're not just reacting — you're orchestrating your trades with intention.

Daily ATR Bonanza: Expected Moves - Tr33man Daily ATR Bonanza: Expected Moves
Overview 🤷♂️
The Daily ATR Bonanza script is a powerful trading tool designed to help traders visualize and understand potential price movements using the Average True Range (ATR). It provides daily and weekly ATR levels, historical statistics, and conditional probability analysis to give traders actionable insights. The script also plots the daily Keltner channel. This script is ideal for traders who want to gauge volatility, identify key levels, and make data-driven decisions.
b]Key Features:
📈 1. Daily and Weekly ATR Levels
🔵ATR Levels: The script calculates and displays ATR-based levels for the day and week. These levels are derived from the previous day's or week's close price and are adjusted using customizable multipliers (0.5x, 1x, and 1.5x by default).
🔵You can choose the number of ATR levels (1, 2, or 3) and adjust the multipliers to suit your trading strategy.
🌐 2. ATR Bands (Keltner Channels)
🔵The script includes an option to display ATR Bands, which are volatility-based envelopes around a moving average. These bands help identify overbought and oversold conditions.
🔵You can adjust the ATR multiplier and the length of the moving average used for the bands.
🧮 3. Historical Statistics and Conditional Probability
🔵 Historical Analysis: The script analyzes historical price movements to calculate the likelihood of closing at certain ATR levels.
🔵 Conditional Probability: This feature shows the probability of the price reaching specific ATR levels given the current market conditions. The conditional matches historical data by an open in the same opening ATR bucket, as well as the current price bucket having been visited in the historical case. Conditional probabilities are just statistics, and do not predict anything.
Data Table: 📚
🔵 Historical Close Probability: The percentage of days the price closed within each ATR level.
🔵 Conditional Close Probability: The likelihood of the price closing within each ATR level today.
❓ What is Conditional Probability? ❓
Conditional probability is a statistical measure that calculates the likelihood of an event occurring given that another event has already occurred. In this script, it is used to determine the probability of the price reaching specific ATR levels based on the current opening range as well as current ATR distance from the previous close.
For example:
If the market opens near the lower end of the first ATR level, the script calculates the likelihood of the price reaching the upper end of the first, second, or third ATR level.
This analysis is based on historical data, making it a powerful tool for understanding potential price movements.
🌟 Understanding the Levels
🔵Daily Levels: These are based on the previous day's close price and ATR. They are updated at the start of each new day.
🔵Weekly Levels: These are based on the previous week's close price and ATR. They are updated at the start of each new week.
🔵ATR Bands: These are dynamic levels that adjust with market volatility.
🔬 Analyze the Statistics (Daily only for now, no weekly yet)
🔵Use the interactive table to understand historical probabilities and conditional probabilities.
🔵Focus on the current opening range and the likelihood of reaching specific levels.
🧠 Make Trading Decisions
🔵Use the ATR levels and bands to identify key support and resistance levels.

Strategy Components
1. Market Regime Detection
The strategy’s brain is its ability to classify market conditions into five regimes, ensuring signals match the environment.
How It Works:
Trending (Regime 1): ADX > 20, fast/slow EMA spread > 0.3x ATR, HTF RSI > 50 or MACD bullish (htf_trend_bull/bear).
Range (Regime 2): ADX < 25, price range < 3% of close, no HTF trend.
Volatile (Regime 3): BB width > 1.5x avg, ATR > 1.2x avg, HTF RSI overbought/oversold.
Quiet (Regime 4): BB width < 0.8x avg, ATR < 0.9x avg.
Other (Regime 5): Default for unclear conditions.
Indicators: ADX (14), BB width (20), ATR (14, 50-bar SMA), HTF RSI (14, daily default), HTF MACD (12,26,9).
Why It’s Brilliant:
Regime detection adapts signals to market context, boosting win rates in trending or volatile conditions.
HTF RSI/MACD add a big-picture filter, rare in basic scripts.
Visualized via gradient background (green for Trending, orange for Range, red for Volatile, gray for Quiet, navy for Other).
2. Multi-Factor Signal Scoring
Entries are driven by a weighted scoring system that combines candlestick patterns, trend, momentum, and volume for robust signals.
Candlestick Patterns:
Bullish: Engulfing (0.5), hammer (0.4 in Range, 0.2 else), morning star (0.2), piercing (0.2), double bottom (0.3 in Volatile, 0.15 else). Must be near support (low ≤ 1.01x 20-bar low) with volume spike (>1.5x 20-bar avg).
Bearish: Engulfing (0.5), shooting star (0.4 in Range, 0.2 else), evening star (0.2), dark cloud (0.2), double top (0.3 in Volatile, 0.15 else). Must be near resistance (high ≥ 0.99x 20-bar high) with volume spike.
Logic: Patterns are weighted higher in specific regimes (e.g., hammer in Range, double bottom in Volatile).
Additional Factors:
Trend: Fast EMA (20) > slow EMA (50) + 0.5x ATR (trend_bull, +0.2); opposite for trend_bear.
RSI: RSI (14) < 30 (rsi_bull, +0.15); > 70 (rsi_bear, +0.15).
MACD: MACD line > signal (12,26,9, macd_bull, +0.15); opposite for macd_bear.
Volume: ATR > 1.2x 50-bar avg (vol_expansion, +0.1).
HTF Confirmation: HTF RSI < 70 and MACD bullish (htf_bull_confirm, +0.2); RSI > 30 and MACD bearish (htf_bear_confirm, +0.2).
Scoring:
bull_score = sum of bullish factors; bear_score = sum of bearish. Entry requires score ≥ 1.0.
Example: Bullish engulfing (0.5) + trend_bull (0.2) + rsi_bull (0.15) + htf_bull_confirm (0.2) = 1.05, triggers long.
Why It’s Brilliant:
Multi-factor scoring ensures signals are confirmed by multiple market dynamics, reducing false positives.
Regime-specific weights make patterns more relevant (e.g., hammers shine in Range markets).
HTF confirmation aligns with the big picture, a quant edge over simplistic scripts.
3. Futures-Tuned Risk Management
The risk system is built for futures, calculating position sizes based on $ risk and offering flexible stops/TPs.
Position Sizing:
Logic: Risk per trade (default: $300) ÷ (stop distance in points * point value) = contracts, capped at max_contracts (default: 5). Point value = tick value (e.g., $12.5 for ES) * ticks per point (4) * contract multiplier (1 for ES, 0.1 for MES).
Example: $300 risk, 8-point stop, ES ($50/point) → 0.75 contracts, rounded to 1.
Impact: Precise sizing prevents over-leverage, critical for micro contracts like MES.
Stops and Take-Profits:
Fixed: Default stop = 8 points, TP = 16 points (2:1 reward/risk).
ATR-Based: Stop = 1.5x ATR (default), TP = 3x ATR, enabled via use_atr_for_stops.
Logic: Stops set at swing low/high ± stop distance; TPs at 2x stop distance from entry.
Impact: ATR stops adapt to volatility, while fixed stops suit stable markets.
Trailing Stops:
Logic: Activates at 50% of TP distance. Trails at close ± 1.5x ATR (atr_multiplier). Longs: max(trail_stop_long, close - ATR * 1.5); shorts: min(trail_stop_short, close + ATR * 1.5).
Impact: Locks in profits during trends, a game-changer in volatile sessions.
Circuit Breaker:
Logic: Pauses trading if daily drawdown > 5% (daily_drawdown = (max_equity - equity) / max_equity).
Impact: Protects capital during black swan events (e.g., April 27, 2025 ES slippage).
Why It’s Brilliant:
Futures-specific inputs (tick value, multiplier) make it plug-and-play for ES/MES.
Trailing stops and circuit breaker add pro-level safety, rare in off-the-shelf scripts.
Flexible stops (ATR or fixed) suit different trading styles.
4. Trade Entry and Exit Logic
Entries and exits are precise, driven by bull_score/bear_score and protected by drawdown checks.
Entry Conditions:
Long: bull_score ≥ 1.0, no position (position_size <= 0), drawdown < 5% (not pause_trading). Calculates contracts, sets stop at swing low - stop points, TP at 2x stop distance.
Short: bear_score ≥ 1.0, position_size >= 0, drawdown < 5%. Stop at swing high + stop points, TP at 2x stop distance.
Logic: Tracks entry_regime for PNL arrays. Closes opposite positions before entering.
Exit Conditions:
Stop-Loss/Take-Profit: Hits stop or TP (strategy.exit).
Trailing Stop: Activates at 50% TP, trails by ATR * 1.5.
Emergency Exit: Closes if price breaches stop (close < long_stop_price or close > short_stop_price).
Reset: Clears stop/TP prices when flat (position_size = 0).
Why It’s Brilliant:
Score-based entries ensure multi-factor confirmation, filtering out weak signals.
Trailing stops maximize profits in trends, unlike static exits in basic scripts.
Emergency exits add an extra safety layer, critical for futures volatility.
5. DAFE Visuals
The visuals are pure DAFE magic, blending function with cyberpunk flair to make signals intuitive and charts stunning.
Shimmering Bollinger Band Fill:
Display: BB basis (20, white), upper/lower (green/red, 45% transparent). Fill pulses (30–50 alpha) by regime, with glow (60–95 alpha) near bands (close ≥ 0.995x upper or ≤ 1.005x lower).
Purpose: Highlights volatility and key levels with a futuristic glow.
Visuals make complex regimes and signals instantly clear, even for newbies.
Pulsing effects and regime-specific colors add a DAFE signature, setting it apart from generic scripts.
BB glow emphasizes tradeable levels, enhancing decision-making.
Chart Background (Regime Heatmap):
Green — Trending Market: Strong, sustained price movement in one direction. The market is in a trend phase—momentum follows through.
Orange — Range-Bound: Market is consolidating or moving sideways, with no clear up/down trend. Great for mean reversion setups.
Red — Volatile Regime: High volatility, heightened risk, and larger/faster price swings—trade with caution.
Gray — Quiet/Low Volatility: Market is calm and inactive, with small moves—often poor conditions for most strategies.
Navy — Other/Neutral: Regime is uncertain or mixed; signals may be less reliable.
Bollinger Bands Glow (Dynamic Fill):
Neon Red Glow — Warning!: Price is near or breaking above the upper band; momentum is overstretched, watch for overbought conditions or reversals.
Bright Green Glow — Opportunity!: Price is near or breaking below the lower band; market could be oversold, prime for bounce or reversal.
Trend Green Fill — Trending Regime: Fills between bands with green when the market is trending, showing clear momentum.
Gold/Yellow Fill — Range Regime: Fills with gold/aqua in range conditions, showing the market is sideways/oscillating.
Magenta/Red Fill — Volatility Spike: Fills with vivid magenta/red during highly volatile regimes.
Blue Fill — Neutral/Quiet: A soft blue glow for other or uncertain market states.
Moving Averages:
Display: Blue fast EMA (20), red slow EMA (50), 2px.
Purpose: Shows trend direction, with trend_dir requiring ATR-scaled spread.
Dynamic SL/TP Lines:
Display: Pulsing colors (red SL, green TP for Trending; yellow/orange for Range, etc.), 3px, with pulse_alpha for shimmer.
Purpose: Tracks stops/TPs in real-time, color-coded by regime.
6. Dual Dashboards
Two dashboards deliver real-time insights, making the strat a quant command center.
Bottom-Left Metrics Dashboard (2x13):
Metrics: Mode (Active/Paused), trend (Bullish/Bearish/Neutral), ATR, ATR avg, volume spike (YES/NO), RSI (value + Oversold/Overbought/Neutral), HTF RSI, HTF trend, last signal (Buy/Sell/None), regime, bull score.
Display: Black (29% transparent), purple title, color-coded (green for bullish, red for bearish).
Purpose: Consolidates market context and signal strength.
Top-Right Position Dashboard (2x7):
Metrics: Regime, position side (Long/Short/None), position PNL ($), SL, TP, daily PNL ($).
Display: Black (29% transparent), purple title, color-coded (lime for Long, red for Short).
Purpose: Tracks live trades and profitability.
Why It’s Brilliant:
Dual dashboards cover market context and trade status, a rare feature.
Color-coding and concise metrics guide beginners (e.g., green “Buy” = go).
Real-time PNL and SL/TP visibility empower disciplined trading.
7. Performance Tracking
Logic: Arrays (regime_pnl_long/short, regime_win/loss_long/short) track PNL and win/loss by regime (1–5). Updated on trade close (barstate.isconfirmed).
Purpose: Prepares for future adaptive thresholds (e.g., adjust bull_score min based on regime performance).
Why It’s Brilliant: Lays the groundwork for self-optimizing logic, a quant edge over static scripts.
Key Features
Regime-Adaptive: Optimizes signals for Trending, Range, Volatile, Quiet markets.
Futures-Optimized: Precise sizing for ES/MES with tick-based risk inputs.
Multi-Factor Signals: Candlestick patterns, RSI, MACD, and HTF confirmation for robust entries.

CISD [TakingProphets]🧠 Indicator Purpose:
The "CISD - Change in State of Delivery" is a precision tool designed for traders utilizing ICT (Inner Circle Trader) conecpets. It detects critical shifts in delivery conditions after liquidity sweeps — helping you spot true smart money activity and optimal trade opportunities. This script is especially valuable for traders applying liquidity concepts, displacement recognition, and market structure shifts at both intraday and swing levels.
🌟 What Makes This Indicator Unique:
Unlike basic trend-following or scalping tools, CISD operates through a two-phase smart money logic:
Liquidity Sweep Detection (sweeping Buyside or Sellside Liquidity).
State of Delivery Change Identification (through bearish or bullish displacement after the sweep).
It intelligently tracks candle sequences and only signals a CISD event after true displacement — offering a much deeper context than ordinary indicators.
⚙️ How the Indicator Works:
Swing Point Detection: Identifies recent pivot highs/lows to map Buyside Liquidity (BSL) and Sellside Liquidity (SSL) zones.
Liquidity Sweeps: Watches for price breaches of these liquidity points to detect institutional stop hunts.
Sequence Recognition: Finds series of same-direction candles before sweeps to mark institutional accumulation/distribution.
Change of Delivery Confirmation: Confirms CISD only after significant displacement moves price against the initial candle sequence.
Visual Markings: Automatically plots CISD lines and optional labels, customizable in color, style, and size.
🎯 How to Use It:
Identify Liquidity Sweeps: Watch for CISD levels plotted after a liquidity sweep event.
Plan Entries: Look for retracements into CISD lines for high-probability entries.
Manage Risk: Use CISD levels to refine your stop-loss and profit-taking zones.
Best Application:
After stop hunts during Killzones (London Open, New York AM).
As part of the Flow State Model: identify higher timeframe PD Arrays ➔ wait for lower timeframe CISD confirmation.
🔎 Underlying Concepts:
Liquidity Pools: Highs and lows cluster stop orders, attracting institutional sweeps.
Displacement: Powerful price moves post-sweep confirm smart money involvement.
Market Structure: CISD frequently precedes major Change of Character (CHoCH) or Break of Structure (BOS) shifts.
🎨 Customization Options:
Adjustable line color, width, and style (solid, dashed, dotted).
Optional label display with customizable color and sizing.
Line extension settings to keep CISD zones visible for future reference.
✅ Recommended for:
Traders studying ICT Smart Money Concepts.
Intraday scalpers and higher timeframe swing traders.
Traders who want to improve entries around liquidity sweeps and institutional displacement moves.
🚀 Bonus Tip:
For maximum confluence, pair this with the HTF POI, ICT Liquidity Levels, and HTF Market Structure indicators available at TakingProphets.com! 🔥

Take profit at the nearest liquidity zone or premium area (above FIB 50%).
🔻 SHORT Signal (red triangle above the candle):
Conditions:
Price is in a premium zone (above FIB 50%)
A bearish engulfing candle appears
A bearish OB or Breaker Block is detected
There’s a downward imbalance
A bearish OB is confirmed on the higher timeframe
➡️ How to act:
Consider short entry after the signal.
Place your stop-loss above the OB or swing high.
Target the discount zone or the next liquidity pocket.
⚙️ Recommended Settings by Trading Style
Trading Style Suggested Settings Notes
Intraday (1–15m) fibLookback = 20–50, obLookback = 5–10, htf_tf = 1H/4H Fast signals. Use Discount/Premium + Engulfing.
Swing/Position (1H–1D) fibLookback = 50–100, obLookback = 10–20, htf_tf = 1D/1W Higher trust in MTF confirmation. Ideal with fundamentals.
Scalping (1m) fibLookback = 10–20, obLookback = 3–5, htf_tf = 15m/1H Remove Breaker and MTF for quick reaction trades.
🧠 Best Practices for Traders
Trend Filtering:
Use EMAs or volume to confirm the current trend.
Take longs only in uptrends, shorts in downtrends.
Liquidity Zones:
Use this indicator after liquidity grabs.
OBs and Breakers often appear right after stop hunts.
Combine with Manual Zones:
This works best when paired with manually drawn OBs and key levels.
Backtest the Signals:
Use Bar Replay mode on TradingView to test past signals.
🧪 Example Trade Setup
Example on BTCUSDT 15m:
Price drops into the discount zone.
A green triangle appears (bullish engulfing + OB + imbalance + HTF OB).
You enter long, stop below the OB, target the premium zone.
🎯 This type of setup often gives a risk/reward ratio of 1:2 or better — profitable even with a 40% win rate.

Alpha Beta Gamma with Volume CandleAlpha Beta Gamma with Volume Candle
This Pine Script indicator analyzes price dynamics and volume activity to assist traders in identifying momentum, reversals, and key price levels. It calculates three proprietary metrics—Alpha, Beta, and Gamma—based on a user-selected price type (e.g., Open, Close, HL2) and timeframe, using a lookback period (default 37 bars). These metrics normalize price movements relative to the range of highs and lows, helping traders gauge market strength and positioning.
How It Works:
Alpha: Measures the distance of the selected price from the lowest price over the lookback period, normalized by the period length.
Beta: Represents the full price range (high minus low) over the lookback period, scaled by the period length.
Gamma: Normalizes the price’s position within the high-low range, providing a 0–1 scale for relative positioning.
Volume Analysis: The script classifies candles based on volume thresholds relative to a simple moving average (SMA, default 400 bars). High volume (≥ 2x SMA), low volume (≤ 0.5x SMA), and strong signal volume (≥ 1.5x SMA) trigger distinct candle colors to highlight bullish (e.g., deep blue, violet) or bearish (e.g., aqua, pink) conditions.
Custom Bands: Nine horizontal levels (0 to 1, divided into eight equal parts) act as dynamic support/resistance zones, useful for grid-based trading or breakout strategies.
How to Use:
Inputs:
Chart Timeframe: Select the timeframe for price data (e.g., 1H, 1D).
Price Type: Choose the price metric (e.g., Close, HL2) for calculations.
ABG Length: Adjust the lookback period (default 37) for sensitivity.
Volume MA Length: Set the SMA period for volume analysis (default 400).
Volume Thresholds: Customize high, low, and strong volume multipliers.
Visual Settings: Toggle labels, custom bands, and table display; adjust line styles, label sizes, and table positions.
Interpretation:
Use Alpha, Beta, and Gamma plots to assess price momentum and range dynamics.
Monitor colored candles for volume-driven signals (e.g., violet for strong bullish volume).
Leverage custom bands for support/resistance or breakout trading.
Check the table for real-time ABG values and percentage changes.
Settings Tips:
For scalping, reduce the ABG Length (e.g., 20) and use a shorter timeframe (e.g., 5M).
For swing trading, increase the Volume MA Length (e.g., 600) for more stable volume signals.
Enable labels and custom bands for visual clarity on key levels.
This indicator is versatile for various trading styles, combining price-based metrics with volume analysis to enhance decision-making.

Scenario: A day trader monitors Tesla (TSLA) on a 5-minute chart and wants alerts at specific support/resistance levels.
Setup:
Set Custom Buy Alert Price to 150.00 (support) and Custom Sell Alert Price to 160.00 (resistance).
Use “labelup” for buy signals and “labeldown” for sell signals.
Keep Moving Average Crossover as “None” to focus on price alerts.
Usage: Receive a sound alert and label when TSLA crosses 150.00 (buy) or 160.00 (sell). Use volume-colored candles to confirm momentum before entering trades.
When NOT to Use Easy MA Signals
High-Frequency Trading: Reason: The indicator relies on moving averages and volume, which may lag in ultra-fast markets (e.g., sub-second trades). High-frequency traders may need specialized tools with real-time tick data.
Alternative: Use order book or market depth indicators for faster execution.
Low-Volatility or Sideways Markets:
Reason: MA crossovers and custom price alerts can generate false signals in choppy, range-bound markets, leading to whipsaws.
Alternative: Use oscillators like RSI or Bollinger Bands to trade within ranges.
This indicator is tailored more towards less experienced traders. And as always, paper trade until you are comfortable with how this works if you're unfamiliar with trading! We hope you enjoy this and have great success. Thanks for your interested in Easy MA Signals!

ICT Swiftedge# ICT SwiftEdge: Advanced Market Structure Trading System
**Overview**
ICT SwiftEdge is a powerful trading system built upon the foundation of ICTProTools' ICT Breakers, licensed under the Mozilla Public License 2.0 (mozilla.org). This script has been significantly enhanced by to combine market structure analysis with modern technical indicators and a sleek, AI-inspired statistics dashboard. The goal is to provide traders with a comprehensive tool for identifying high-probability trade setups, managing exits, and tracking performance in a visually intuitive way.
**Credits**
This script is a derivative work based on the original "ICT Breakers" by ICTProTools, used with permission under the Mozilla Public License 2.0. Significant enhancements, including RSI-MA signals, trend filtering, dynamic timeframe adjustments, dual exit strategies, and an AI-style statistics dashboard, were developed by . We express our gratitude to ICTProTools for their foundational work in market structure analysis.
**What It Does**
ICT SwiftEdge integrates multiple trading concepts to help traders identify and manage trades based on market structure and momentum:
- **Market Structure Analysis**: Identifies Break of Structure (BOS) and Market Structure Shift (MSS) patterns, which signal potential trend continuations or reversals. BOS indicates a continuation of the current trend, while MSS highlights a shift in market direction, providing key entry points.
- **RSI-MA Signals**: Generates "BUY" and "SELL" signals when BOS or MSS patterns align with the Relative Strength Index (RSI) smoothed by a Moving Average (RSI-MA). Signals are filtered to occur only when RSI-MA is above 50 (for buys) or below 50 (for sells), ensuring momentum supports the trade direction.
- **Trend Filtering**: Prevents multiple signals in the same trend, ensuring only one buy or sell signal per trend direction, reducing noise and improving trade clarity.
- **Dynamic Timeframe Adjustment**: Automatically adjusts pivot points, RSI, and MA parameters based on the selected chart timeframe (1M to 1D), optimizing performance across different market conditions.
- **Flexible Exit Strategies**: Offers two user-selectable exit methods:
- **Trailing Stop-Loss (TSL)**: Exits trades when price moves against the position by a user-defined distance (in points), locking in profits or limiting losses.
- **RSI-MA Exit**: Exits trades when RSI-MA crosses the 50 level, signaling a potential loss of momentum.
- Users can enable either or both strategies, providing flexibility to adapt to different trading styles.
- **AI-Style Statistics Dashboard**: Displays real-time trade performance metrics in a futuristic, neon-colored interface, including total trades, wins, losses, win/loss ratio, and win percentage. This helps traders evaluate the system's effectiveness without external tools.
**Why This Combination?**
The integration of these components creates a synergistic trading system:
- **BOS/MSS and RSI-MA**: Combining market structure breaks with RSI-MA ensures entries are based on both price action (structure) and momentum (RSI-MA), increasing the likelihood of high-probability trades.
- **Trend Filtering**: By limiting signals to one per trend, the system avoids overtrading and focuses on significant market moves.
- **Dynamic Adjustments**: Timeframe-specific parameters make the system versatile, suitable for scalping (1M, 5M) or swing trading (4H, 1D).
- **Dual Exit Strategies**: TSL protects profits during trending markets, while RSI-MA exits are ideal for range-bound or reversing markets, catering to diverse market conditions.
- **Statistics Dashboard**: Provides immediate feedback on trade performance, enabling data-driven decision-making without manual tracking.
This combination balances technical precision with user-friendly visuals, making it accessible to both novice and experienced traders.
**How to Use**
1. **Add to Chart**: Apply the script to any TradingView chart.
2. **Configure Settings**:
