Support & Resistance AriesSupport & Resistance Aries
This indicator automatically identifies support and resistance levels based on the highest and lowest closing prices within a configurable period.
How it works:
The user sets a calculation period (default is 20 candles).
The indicator plots:
Green line = Support: lowest closing price within the period.
Red line = Resistance: highest closing price within the period.
Adjustable parameter:
Calculation Period (1 to 200): defines how many candles are used to find the price extremes.
Purpose:
Helps users quickly visualize dynamic support and resistance zones that adjust as price evolves, making it easier to identify areas for potential entries, exits, and stop placements.
Important:
This indicator should not be used as a standalone buy or sell signal, nor as a trend confirmation tool on its own.
It is recommended to use it in combination with other technical analysis tools such as MACD, RSI, Volume, Moving Averages, among others, for a more complete market view.
Disclaimer:
Investing involves financial risk. Be cautious with both profits and losses. Always define a stop loss to avoid larger losses if the trend reverses.
One of the golden rules in trading is: a trader should not lose more than 3% to 5% of their capital per trade. Protecting your capital should always be the priority.

MTS📊 MTS (Murrey Math System) Trading Strategy for TradingView 📊
Introduction:
This script implements the Murrey Math System (MTS), a market analysis tool based on a set of pivot points and price ranges, designed to help traders identify key levels of support and resistance.
MTS calculates key price levels based on historical price swings and helps identify price targets, stop-loss levels, and potential breakout zones.
The strategy also includes an adaptive bias panel, showing buy or sell suggestions based on current price action relative to Murrey Math levels.
Key Components:
1. Pivot Calculation and Conditions:
Pivot Lookback & Spikeyness Index:
The pivots: lookback/forward input defines how far back (and forward) the script looks to identify potential pivot points (high and low). A smaller value focuses on more recent swings, while larger values consider a broader range.
The Spikeyness Index (atrMult) allows you to adjust sensitivity to market spikes, utilizing the Average True Range (ATR) to detect sharp price movements that could indicate potential turning points.
Pivot Conditions:
isPivHigh and isPivLow detect local high and low pivot points, respectively.
Spiky Conditions: The spikyH and spikyL conditions filter out pivots that do not meet the spikiness criteria, which is based on ATR and moving averages.
2. Swing High and Swing Low Identification:
The script identifies and stores previous swing highs (HR_prev) and lows (LR_prev), updating them based on the current market structure.
3. Proprietary Calculation:
The propCalc input enables a proprietary calculation method for determining higher or lower levels beyond the typical Murrey Math levels, offering a more adaptive approach to price targets and support/resistance levels.
4. Murrey Math Lines (MML):
MML Calculation:
The code calculates a set of Murrey Math Lines (EightEight, FourEight, ZeroEight), which are key price levels based on the range of the price over a given time period. These levels represent major support and resistance zones, with the EightEight line indicating extremely overbought conditions and ZeroEight signaling deeply oversold conditions.
Level and Extension Lines:
The script also plots additional levels and extensions based on the range between HR and LR, representing key support/resistance levels. These levels are dynamically drawn on the chart, offering clear insights into where price might reverse or break out.
Strategy Logic:
- Breakout and Breakdown:
The Bias Box panel dynamically displays a trade bias, either suggesting to "Buy on Dip" or "Sell on Rise," depending on whether the current price is above or below the midpoint of the Murrey Math range (BEP). This bias is calculated using the market's relationship to the Murrey Math Levels.
- Buy on Dip: When the price is below the midpoint (BEP), suggesting the market is in a buying zone.
- Sell on Rise: When the price is above the midpoint, suggesting the market is in a selling zone.
- Stop-Loss and Target Hints:
The stop-loss (SL) and target levels are dynamically set based on the position relative to HR and LR:
For Buy on Dip: SL is set at LR Low, Target is set at HR High.
For sell on Rise: SL is set at HR Low, Target is set at LR High.
2. Historical and Current Levels:
The script compares the most recent Murrey Math levels with historical levels. This helps identify any shifts or changes in the market structure, enhancing the trader's ability to adapt to new trends.
- Current Levels:
The current levels are drawn from the most recent HR and LR values, with corresponding extensions showing possible breakout or breakdown zones.
- Historical Levels:
Historical levels are drawn in a "ghost" style, helping traders visualize past market conditions and potential support/resistance zones that could still influence price movement.
- Trade Examples:
Example 1: Buy on Dip
a. Scenario:
Price is below the midpoint (BEP), and the bias suggests a buy on dip.
The trader looks for a rebound from the LR Low level, with a target at the HR High.
b. Entry:
Buy when the price reaches the LR Low level.
c. Exit:
Take profit when the price hits the HR High.
d. Stop-Loss:
Place stop-loss at the LR Low.
Example 2: Sell on Rise
a. Scenario:
Price is above the midpoint (BEP), and the bias suggests a sell on rise.
The trader looks for a pullback to the HR Low, with a target at the LR High.
b. Entry:
Sell when the price reaches the HR High level.
c. Exit:
Take profit when the price hits the LR Low.
d. Stop-Loss:
Place stop-loss at the HR Low.
Key Features:
Bias Panel: A table in the top-right corner showing the current market bias (Buy on Dip, Sell on Rise, or Neutral).
Displays real-time trade direction and risk information, such as stop-loss and target hints.
Dynamic Level Adjustment: As the price moves, the script dynamically updates the key levels (HR, LR, and Murrey Math lines), keeping traders aware of the most recent market structure.
Visualization Tools:
The chart is populated with a series of lines and labels that indicate the critical price levels for trading.
Support/Resistance Lines: Each key level is marked with different colors for quick recognition.
Extensions: Additional lines are plotted based on price projections, indicating where the market could potentially move.
Note:
Please note that this is an educational purpose idea, any action/trade taken will be user's own responsibility.
Enjoy!

Reversal Trading Bot Strategy[BullByte]Overview :
The indicator Reversal Trading Bot Strategy is crafted to capture potential market reversal points by combining momentum, volatility, and trend alignment filters. It uses a blend of technical indicators to identify both bullish and bearish reversal setups, ensuring that multiple market conditions are met before entering a trade.
Core Components :
Technical Indicators Used :
RSI (Relative Strength Index) :
Purpose : Detects divergence conditions by comparing recent lows/highs in price with the RSI.
Parameter : Length of 8.
Bollinger Bands (BB) :
Purpose : Measures volatility and identifies price levels that are statistically extreme.
Parameter : Length of 20 and a 2-standard deviation multiplier.
ADX (Average Directional Index) & DMI (Directional Movement Index) :
Purpose : Quantifies the strength of the trend. The ADX threshold is set at 20, and additional filters check for the alignment of the directional indicators (DI+ and DI–).
ATR (Average True Range) :
Purpose : Provides a volatility measure used to set stop levels and determine risk through trailing stops.
Volume SMA (Simple Moving Average of Volume ):
Purpose : Helps confirm strength by comparing the current volume against a 20-period average, with an optional filter to ensure volume is at least twice the SMA.
User-Defined Toggle Filters :
Volume Filter : Confirms that the volume is above average (or twice the SMA) before taking trades.
ADX Trend Alignment Filter : Checks that the ADX’s directional indicators support the trade direction.
BB Close Confirmation : Optionally refines the entry by requiring price to be beyond the upper or lower Bollinger Band rather than just above or below.
RSI Divergence Exit : Allows the script to close positions if RSI divergence is detected.
BB Mean Reversion Exit : Closes positions if the price reverts to the Bollinger Bands’ middle line.
Risk/Reward Filter : Ensures that the potential reward is at least twice the risk by comparing the distance to the Bollinger Band with the ATR.
Candle Movement Filter : Optional filter to require a minimum percentage move in the candle to confirm momentum.
ADX Trend Exit : Closes positions if the ADX falls below the threshold and the directional indicators reverse.
Entry Conditions :
Bullish Entry :
RSI Divergence : Checks if the current close is lower than a previous low while the RSI is above the previous low, suggesting bullish divergence.
Bollinger Confirmation : Requires that the price is above the lower (or upper if confirmation is toggled) Bollinger Band.
Volume & Trend Filters : Combines volume condition, ADX strength, and an optional candle momentum condition.
Risk/Reward Check : Validates that the trade meets a favorable risk-to-reward ratio.
Bearish Entry :
Uses a mirror logic of the bullish entry by checking for bearish divergence, ensuring the price is below the appropriate Bollinger level, and confirming volume, trend strength, candle pattern, and risk/reward criteria.
Trade Execution and Exit Strateg y:
Trade Execution :
Upon meeting the entry conditions, the strategy initiates a long or short position.
Stop Loss & Trailing Stops :
A stop-loss is dynamically set using the ATR value, and trailing stops are implemented as a percentage of the close price.
Exit Conditions :
Additional exit filters can trigger early closures based on RSI divergence, mean reversion (via the middle Bollinger Band), or a weakening trend as signaled by ADX falling below its threshold.
This multi-layered exit strategy is designed to lock in gains or minimize losses if the market begins to reverse unexpectedly.
How the Strategy Works in Different Market Conditions :
Trending Markets :
The ADX filter ensures that trades are only taken when the trend is strong. When the market is trending, the directional movement indicators help confirm the momentum, making the reversal signal more reliable.
Ranging Markets :
In choppy markets, the Bollinger Bands expand and contract, while the RSI divergence can highlight potential turning points. The optional filters can be adjusted to avoid false signals in low-volume or low-volatility conditions.
Volatility Management :
With ATR-based stop-losses and a risk/reward filter, the strategy adapts to current market volatility, ensuring that risk is managed consistently.
Recommendation on using this Strategy with a Trading Bot :
This strategy is well-suited for high-frequency trading (HFT) due to its ability to quickly identify reversal setups and execute trades dynamically with automated stop-loss and trailing exits. By integrating this script with a TradingView webhook-based bot or an API-driven execution system, traders can automate trade entries and exits in real-time, reducing manual execution delays and capitalizing on fast market movements.

Sniper Trade Pro (ES 15-Min) - Topstep Optimized🔹 Overview
Sniper Trade Pro is an advanced algorithmic trading strategy designed specifically for E-mini S&P 500 (ES) Futures on the 15-minute timeframe. This strategy is optimized for Topstep 50K evaluations, incorporating strict risk management to comply with their max $1,000 daily loss limit while maintaining a high probability of success.
It uses a multi-confirmation approach, integrating:
✅ Money Flow Divergence (MFD) → To track liquidity imbalances and institutional accumulation/distribution.
✅ Trend Confirmation (EMA + VWAP) → To identify strong trend direction and avoid choppy markets.
✅ ADX Strength Filter → To ensure entries only occur in trending conditions, avoiding weak setups.
✅ Break-Even & Dynamic Stop-Losses → To reduce drawdowns and protect profits dynamically.
This script automatically generates Buy and Sell signals and provides built-in risk management for automated trading execution through TradingView Webhooks.
🔹 How Does This Strategy Work?
📌 1. Trend Confirmation (EMA + VWAP)
The strategy uses:
✔ 9-EMA & 21-EMA: Fast-moving averages to detect short-term momentum.
✔ VWAP (Volume-Weighted Average Price): Ensures trades align with institutional volume flow.
How it works:
Bullish Condition: 9-EMA above 21-EMA AND price above VWAP → Confirms buy trend.
Bearish Condition: 9-EMA below 21-EMA AND price below VWAP → Confirms sell trend.
📌 2. Liquidity & Money Flow Divergence (MFD)
This indicator measures liquidity shifts by tracking momentum changes in price and volume.
✔ MFD Calculation:
Uses Exponential Moving Average (EMA) of Momentum (MOM) to detect changes in buying/selling pressure.
If MFD is above its moving average, it signals liquidity inflows → bullish strength.
If MFD is below its moving average, it signals liquidity outflows → bearish weakness.
Why is this important?
Detects when Smart Money is accumulating or distributing before major moves.
Filters out false breakouts by confirming momentum strength before entry.
📌 3. Trade Entry Triggers (Candlestick Patterns & ADX Filter)
To avoid random entries, the strategy waits for specific candlestick confirmations with ADX trend strength:
✔ Bullish Entry (Buy Signal) → Requires:
Bullish Engulfing Candle (Reversal confirmation)
ADX > 20 (Ensures strong trending conditions)
MFD above its moving average (Liquidity inflows)
9-EMA > 21-EMA & price above VWAP (Trend confirmation)
✔ Bearish Entry (Sell Signal) → Requires:
Bearish Engulfing Candle (Reversal confirmation)
ADX > 20 (Ensures strong trending conditions)
MFD below its moving average (Liquidity outflows)
9-EMA < 21-EMA & price below VWAP (Trend confirmation)
📌 4. Risk Management & Profit Protection
This strategy is built with strict risk management to maintain low drawdowns and maximize profits:
✔ Dynamic Position Sizing → Automatically adjusts trade size to risk a fixed $400 per trade.
✔ Adaptive Stop-Losses → Uses ATR-based stop-loss (0.8x ATR) to adapt to market volatility.
✔ Take-Profit Targets → Fixed at 2x ATR for a Risk:Reward ratio of 2:1.
✔ Break-Even Protection → Moves stop-loss to entry once price moves 1x ATR in profit, locking in gains.
✔ Max Daily Loss Limit (-$1,000) → Stops trading if total losses exceed $1,000, complying with Topstep rules.
FVG Breakout Lite by tradingbauhausExplanation of "FVG Breakout Lite by tradingbauhaus"
This script is a trading strategy built for TradingView that helps you spot and trade "Fair Value Gaps" (FVGs)—price areas where the market moved quickly, leaving a gap that might act as support or resistance later. It’s designed to catch breakout opportunities when the price moves strongly in one direction, with extra filters to make trades more reliable. Here’s how it works and how you can use it:
What It Does
1. Finds Fair Value Gaps (FVGs):
A "Bullish FVG" happens when the price jumps up quickly, leaving a gap below where it didn’t trade much (e.g., today’s low is higher than the high from two bars ago).
A "Bearish FVG" is the opposite: the price drops fast, leaving a gap above (e.g., today’s high is lower than the low from two bars ago).
The script draws colored boxes on your chart to show these gaps: green for bullish, red for bearish.
2. Spots Breakouts:
It looks for "strong" FVGs by comparing them to a trend (based on the highest highs and lowest lows over a set period).
If a bullish gap forms above the recent highs, or a bearish gap below the recent lows, it’s marked as a breakout opportunity.
3. Adds a Volume Check:
Trades only happen if the market’s volume is higher than usual (e.g., 1.2x the average volume over the last 20 bars). This helps ensure the breakout has real momentum behind it.
4. Trades Automatically:
Long Trades (Buy): If a bullish breakout FVG forms and volume is high, it buys at the current price.
Short Trades (Sell): If a bearish breakout FVG forms with high volume, it sells short.
Each trade comes with a stop loss (to limit losses) and a take profit (to lock in gains), both adjustable by you.
5. Shows Mitigation Lines (Optional):
If you turn on "Display Mitigation Zones," it draws lines at the edge of each breakout FVG. These lines show where the price might return to "fill" the gap later, helping you see key levels.
6. Includes Webull Costs:
The script factors in real trading fees from Webull, like tiny SEC and FINRA fees for selling, and a daily margin cost if you’re borrowing money to trade. These don’t show up on the chart but affect the strategy’s performance in backtesting.
How to Use It
1. Add to Your Chart:
Copy the script into TradingView’s Pine Editor, click "Add to Chart," and it’ll start drawing FVGs and running the strategy.
2. Customize Settings:
Trend Period (Default: 25): How many bars it looks back to define the trend. Longer periods mean fewer but stronger signals.
Volume Lookback (Default: 20) & Volume Threshold (Default: 1.2): Adjust how it measures "high volume." Increase the threshold for stricter trades.
Stop Loss % (Default: 1.5%) & Take Profit % (Default: 3%): Set how much you’re willing to lose or aim to gain per trade.
Margin Rate % (Default: 8.74%): Webull’s rate for borrowing money—lower it if your account qualifies for a better rate.
Display Mitigation Zones (Default: On): Toggle this to see or hide the gap lines.
Colors: Change the green (bullish) and red (bearish) shades to suit your chart.
3. Backtest It:
Go to the "Strategy Tester" tab in TradingView to see how it performs on past data. It’ll show trades, profits, losses, and Webull fees included.
4. Watch It Work:
Green boxes mean bullish FVGs; red boxes mean bearish FVGs. If volume spikes and the price breaks out, you’ll see trades happen automatically.
What to Expect
Visuals: You’ll see colored boxes for FVGs and optional lines showing where they start. These help you spot key price zones even if you’re not trading.
Trades: It’s selective—only trades when FVGs align with a breakout and volume confirms it. Expect fewer trades but with higher potential.
Risk: The stop loss keeps losses in check, while the take profit aims for a 2:1 reward-to-risk ratio by default (3% gain vs. 1.5% loss).
Costs: Webull’s fees are small but baked into the results, so you’re seeing a realistic picture of profits.
Tips for Users
Test it on a small timeframe (like 5-minute charts) for day trading or a larger one (like daily) for swing trading.
Play with the volume threshold—if you get too few trades, lower it (e.g., 1.1); if too many, raise it (e.g., 1.5).
Watch how price reacts to the mitigation lines—they’re often support or resistance zones traders target.
This strategy is lightweight, focused, and built for traders who like breakouts with a bit of confirmation. It’s not foolproof (no strategy is!), but it gives you a clear way to trade FVGs with some smart filters.
IronBot v4IronBot v4 – Trading Strategy Overview
1. Quick Context
IronBot v4 is a trading strategy designed for users who want a simple yet effective approach to reading the markets. It uses a combination of Fibonacci retracement levels, custom logic triggers, and innovative modules (EMA validation, Iron Impulse Shield and Iron Auto Volume Detector) to identify potential entry and exit points, strengthening the strategy’s detection of sudden market volatility or shifts in trading volume.
2. Theoretical Details
Fibonacci Analysis
The script identifies recent market highs and lows, then calculates key Fibonacci levels (high- and low-based). These levels can help confirm potential reversals or trends.
EMA Option
When enabled, the exponential moving average (EMA) offers additional validation for trade entries. If the current price remains above a certain EMA threshold, long positions may be favored; conversely, if it stays below the EMA, short positions may be initiated.
IIS (Iron Impulse Shield)
IIS helps to filter out risky trades by measuring recent price shocks or surges. If an extreme movement is detected, the strategy may temporarily disable longs or shorts to avoid false signals.
IAVD (Iron Auto Volume Detector)
This functionality automatically detects the average market volume over a defined period (regardless of the market, since it relies on real data). When entering a position, it ensures that overall volume is high enough to confirm a genuinely active, robust market. By providing an additional filter, it can strengthen the decision-making process whenever the market’s participation level is in question.
Panel
IronBot v4 displays a real-time backtest panel that summarizes the selected configuration (including the current pair, analysis window, enabled filters), as well as showing net profit, applicable exchange fees, country taxes, and the final net balance. This gives traders an immediate overview of strategy performance and risk metrics.
What Pinescript Adds Visually
The script plots:
Fibonacci levels (highlighting potential reversal zones)
Trend lines indicating bullish (green) or bearish (red) lean
Optional EMA line
Optional Fibonacci forecast lines for anticipating future moves
Automatic labeling of entry, take-profit, and stop-loss levels, indicating the profit percentage of each trade.
3. Explanation of Inputs
The strategy exposes multiple inputs that can be toggled or configured by the user:
Analysis Window : Dictates how many bars to consider for high/low calculations and the fib retracement thresholds.
TRADES
Display TP/SL: For displaying Take profits and Stop loss.
Display Forecast: When enabled, this feature calculates and projects possible future Fibonacci retracements using historical data, helping traders anticipate potential upcoming trade setups.
Leverage: Only used for the Panel and not for trades. Lets you amplify your position size; higher leverage increases potential gains but also heightens risk. TradingView strategy is using properties for doing this.
Exchange Maker Fees & Exchange Taker Fees: Only used for the Panel and not for trades. Define the percentage cost applied by your exchange for maker and taker trades, respectively. These fees are accounted for in final profit calculations of the Panel.
Country Tax: Only used for the Panel and not for trades. Specifies a tax percentage to be deducted from net profits.
STOP LOSS and TAKE PROFITS
Stop-Loss & Take-Profit Parameters: Controls the percentage distances at which the strategy will exit positions. Additionally, you can configure up to four distinct take-profit levels (TP1 through TP4). Each level should be higher target than the previous one, and you can assign a specific percentage of the total position to close at each TP, ensuring the sum equals 100%. A break-even feature is also available when multiple TPs are used.
EMA
EMA (Exponential Moving Average) Option: When enabled, the strategy opens long trades only if the current price is above the specified EMA length, and opens short trades only if it is below that threshold.
PANELS
Show Panel: For displaying the backtest integrated panel.
IRON IMPULSE SHIELD (IIS)
IIS (Iron Impulse Shield) Option: When enabled, IIS continuously monitors recent price volatility depending on the analysis window set. If the market experiences an extreme surge or drop beyond a specified threshold, IIS temporarily blocks new long or short positions.
IRON AUTO VOLUME DETECTOR (IAVD)
IAVD (Iron Auto Volume Detector) Option: When enabled, it continuously measures the average market volume over a special period, irrespective of the specific trading pair. This ensures that IronBot v4 focuses on markets with robust participation, reducing the likelihood of entering trades during low-liquidity conditions.
By changing these values, IronBot v4 reacts differently to market structure and risk management requirements. Stop-loss and take-profit levels will adjust accordingly, while advanced filters (like EMA or IIS) influence when trades can open.
4. TradingView Strategy Properties
IronBot v4 uses the built-in TradingView “strategy” functionality. In particular:
Order Placement: The code calls strategy.entry() and strategy.close() for direct orders, ensuring signals are sent immediately (no limit orders are used). This helps connect with exchange signal bots for automated execution.
Initial Capital: The code uses initial capital defined in properties for calculating Net balance in the integrated panel.
On bar close: This strategy fill orders on bar close.
Pyramiding: This strategy can take only 1 successive trade in the same direction
Be careful to configure your leverage input depending on your strategy properties.

[TehThomas] - ICT Liquidity sweepsThe ICT Liquidity Sweeps Indicator is designed to track liquidity zones in the market areas where stop-losses and pending orders are typically clustered. This indicator marks buyside liquidity (resistance) and sellside liquidity (support), helping traders identify areas where price is likely to manipulate liquidity before making a significant move.
This tool is based on Inner Circle Trader (ICT) Smart Money Concepts, which emphasize how institutional traders, or “Smart Money,” manipulate liquidity to fuel price movements. By identifying these zones, traders can anticipate liquidity sweeps and position themselves accordingly.
⚙️ How It Works
1️⃣ Detects Key Liquidity Zones
The script automatically identifies significant swing highs and swing lows in price action using a pivot-based method.
A swing high (buyside liquidity) is a peak where price struggles to break higher, forming a resistance level.
A swing low (sellside liquidity) is a valley where price struggles to go lower, creating a support level.
These liquidity points are prime targets for liquidity sweeps before a true trend direction is confirmed.
2️⃣ Draws Liquidity Lines
Once a swing high or low is identified, a horizontal line is drawn at that level.
The lines extend to the right, serving as future liquidity targets until they are broken.
The indicator allows customization in terms of color, line width, and maximum number of liquidity lines displayed at once.
3️⃣ Handles Liquidity Sweeps
When price breaks a liquidity level, the indicator reacts based on the chosen action setting:
Dotted/Dashed: The line remains visible but changes style to indicate a sweep.
Delete: The line is completely removed once price has interacted with it.
This feature ensures that traders can easily spot where liquidity has been taken and determine whether a reversal or continuation is likely.
4️⃣ Prevents Chart Clutter
To maintain a clean chart, the script limits the number of liquidity lines displayed at any given time.
When new liquidity zones are formed, the oldest lines are automatically removed, keeping the focus on the most relevant liquidity zones.
🎯 How to Use the ICT Liquidity Sweeps Indicator
🔍 Identifying Liquidity Grabs
This indicator helps you identify areas where Smart Money is targeting liquidity before making a move.
Buyside Liquidity (BSL) Sweeps:
Occur when price spikes above a resistance level before reversing downward.
Indicate that Smart Money has hunted stop-losses and buy stops before driving price lower.
Sellside Liquidity (SSL) Sweeps:
Occur when price drops below a support level before reversing upward.
Indicate that Smart Money has collected liquidity from stop-losses and sell stops before pushing price higher.
📈 Combining with Market Structure Shifts (MSS)
One of the best ways to use this indicator is in conjunction with our Market Structure Shifts Indicator.
Liquidity sweeps + MSS Confirmation give strong high-probability trade setups:
Wait for a liquidity sweep (price takes out a liquidity level).
Look for an MSS in the opposite direction (e.g., price sweeps a high, then breaks a recent low).
Enter the trade in the new direction with stop-loss above/below the liquidity sweep.
📊 Entry & Exit Strategies
Long Trade Example:
Price sweeps a key sellside liquidity level (SSL) → creates a false breakdown.
MSS confirms a reversal (price breaks structure upwards).
Enter long position after confirmation.
Stop-loss below the liquidity grab to minimize risk.
Short Trade Example:
Price sweeps a key buyside liquidity level (BSL) → takes liquidity above resistance.
MSS confirms a bearish move (price breaks a key support level).
Enter short position after confirmation.
Stop-loss above the liquidity grab.
🚀 Why This Indicator is a Game-Changer
✅ Helps Identify Smart Money Manipulation – Understand where institutions are likely to grab liquidity before the real move happens.
✅ Enhances Market Structure Analysis – When paired with MSS, liquidity sweeps become powerful signals for trend reversals.
✅ Filters Out False Breakouts – Many traders get caught in liquidity grabs. This indicator helps avoid bad entries.
✅ Keeps Your Chart Clean – The auto-limiting feature ensures that only the most relevant liquidity levels remain visible.
✅ Works on Any Timeframe – Whether you’re a scalper, day trader, or swing trader, liquidity concepts apply universally.
📌 Final Thoughts
The ICT Liquidity Sweeps Indicator is a must-have tool for traders who follow Smart Money Concepts. By tracking liquidity levels and highlighting sweeps, it allows traders to enter trades with precision while avoiding false breakouts.
When combined with Market Structure Shifts (MSS), this strategy becomes even more powerful, offering traders an edge in spotting reversals and timing entries effectively.

Triple CCI Strategy MFI Confirmed [Skyrexio]Overview
Triple CCI Strategy MFI Confirmed leverages 3 different periods Commodity Channel Index (CCI) indicator in conjunction Money Flow Index (MFI) and Exponential Moving Average (EMA) to obtain the high probability setups. Fast period CCI is used for having the high probability to enter in the direction of short term trend, middle and slow period CCI are used for confirmation, if market now likely in the mid and long-term uptrend. MFI is used to confirm trade with the money inflow/outflow with the high probability. EMA is used as an additional trend filter. Moreover, strategy uses exponential moving average (EMA) to trail the price when it reaches the specific level. More information in "Methodology" and "Justification of Methodology" paragraphs. The strategy opens only long trades.
Unique Features
Dynamic stop-loss system: Instead of fixed stop-loss level strategy utilizes average true range (ATR) multiplied by user given number subtracted from the position entry price as a dynamic stop loss level.
Configurable Trading Periods: Users can tailor the strategy to specific market windows, adapting to different market conditions.
Four layers trade filtering system: Strategy utilizes two different period CCI indicators, MFI and EMA indicators to confirm the signals produced by fast period CCI.
Trailing take profit level: After reaching the trailing profit activation level scrip activate the trailing of long trade using EMA. More information in methodology.
Methodology
The strategy opens long trade when the following price met the conditions:
Fast period CCI shall crossover the zero-line.
Slow and Middle period CCI shall be above zero-lines.
Price shall close above the EMA. Crossover is not obligatory
MFI shall be above 50
When long trade is executed, strategy set the stop-loss level at the price ATR multiplied by user-given value below the entry price. This level is recalculated on every next candle close, adjusting to the current market volatility.
At the same time strategy set up the trailing stop validation level. When the price crosses the level equals entry price plus ATR multiplied by user-given value script starts to trail the price with EMA. If price closes below EMA long trade is closed. When the trailing starts, script prints the label “Trailing Activated”.
Strategy settings
In the inputs window user can setup the following strategy settings:
ATR Stop Loss (by default = 1.75)
ATR Trailing Profit Activation Level (by default = 2.25)
CCI Fast Length (by default = 14, used for calculation short term period CCI)
CCI Middle Length (by default = 25, used for calculation short term period CCI)
CCI Slow Length (by default = 50, used for calculation long term period CCI)
MFI Length (by default = 14, used for calculation MFI
EMA Length (by default = 50, period of EMA, used for trend filtering EMA calculation)
Trailing EMA Length (by default = 20)
User can choose the optimal parameters during backtesting on certain price chart.
Justification of Methodology
Before understanding why this particular combination of indicator has been chosen let's briefly explain what is CCI, MFI and EMA.
The Commodity Channel Index (CCI) is a momentum-based technical indicator that measures the deviation of a security's price from its average price over a specific period. It helps traders identify overbought or oversold conditions and potential trend reversals.
The CCI formula is:
CCI = (Typical Price − SMA) / (0.015 × Mean Deviation)
Typical Price (TP): This is calculated as the average of the high, low, and closing prices for the period.
Simple Moving Average (SMA): This is the average of the Typical Prices over a specific number of periods.
Mean Deviation: This is the average of the absolute differences between the Typical Price and the SMA.
The result is a value that typically fluctuates between +100 and -100, though it is not bounded and can go higher or lower depending on the price movement.
The Money Flow Index (MFI) is a technical indicator that measures the strength of money flowing into and out of a security. It combines price and volume data to assess buying and selling pressure and is often used to identify overbought or oversold conditions. The formula for MFI involves several steps:
1. Calculate the Typical Price (TP):
TP = (high + low + close) / 3
2. Calculate the Raw Money Flow (RMF):
Raw Money Flow = TP × Volume
3. Determine Positive and Negative Money Flow:
If the current TP is greater than the previous TP, it's Positive Money Flow.
If the current TP is less than the previous TP, it's Negative Money Flow.
4. Calculate the Money Flow Ratio (MFR):
Money Flow Ratio = Sum of Positive Money Flow (over n periods) / Sum of Negative Money Flow (over n periods)
5. Calculate the Money Flow Index (MFI):
MFI = 100 − (100 / (1 + Money Flow Ratio))
MFI above 80 can be considered as overbought, below 20 - oversold.
The Exponential Moving Average (EMA) is a type of moving average that places greater weight and significance on the most recent data points. It is widely used in technical analysis to smooth price data and identify trends more quickly than the Simple Moving Average (SMA).
Formula:
1. Calculate the multiplier
Multiplier = 2 / (n + 1) , Where n is the number of periods.
2. EMA Calculation
EMA = (Current Price) × Multiplier + (Previous EMA) × (1 − Multiplier)
This strategy leverages Fast period CCI, which shall break the zero line to the upside to say that probability of short term trend change to the upside increased. This zero line crossover shall be confirmed by the Middle and Slow periods CCI Indicators. At the moment of breakout these two CCIs shall be above 0, indicating that there is a high probability that price is in middle and long term uptrend. This approach increases chances to have a long trade setup in the direction of mid-term and long-term trends when the short-term trend starts to reverse to the upside.
Additionally strategy uses MFI to have a greater probability that fast CCI breakout is confirmed by this indicator. We consider the values of MFI above 50 as a higher probability that trend change from downtrend to the uptrend is real. Script opens long trades only if MFI is above 50. As you already know from the MFI description, it incorporates volume in its calculation, therefore we have another one confirmation factor.
Finally, strategy uses EMA an additional trend filter. It allows to open long trades only if price close above EMA (by default 50 period). It increases the probability of taking long trades only in the direction of the trend.
ATR is used to adjust the strategy risk management to the current market volatility. If volatility is low, we don’t need the large stop loss to understand the there is a high probability that we made a mistake opening the trade. User can setup the settings ATR Stop Loss and ATR Trailing Profit Activation Level to realize his own risk to reward preferences, but the unique feature of a strategy is that after reaching trailing profit activation level strategy is trying to follow the trend until it is likely to be finished instead of using fixed risk management settings. It allows sometimes to be involved in the large movements. It’s also important to make a note, that script uses another one EMA (by default = 20 period) as a trailing profit level.

MFI Strategy with Oversold Zone Exit and AveragingThis strategy is based on the Money Flow Index (MFI) and aims to enter a long position when the MFI exits an oversold zone, with specific rules for limit orders, stop-loss, and take-profit settings. Here's a detailed breakdown:
Key Components
1. **Money Flow Index (MFI)**: The strategy uses the MFI, a volume-weighted indicator, to gauge whether the market is in an oversold condition (default threshold of MFI < 20). Once the MFI rises above the oversold threshold, it signals a potential buying opportunity.
2. **Limit Order for Long Entry**: Instead of entering immediately after the oversold condition is cleared, the strategy places a limit order at a price slightly below the current price (by a user-defined percentage). This helps achieve a better entry price.
3. **Stop-Loss and Take-Profit**:
- **Stop-Loss**: A stop-loss is set to protect against significant losses, calculated as a percentage below the entry price.
- **Take-Profit**: A take-profit target is set as a percentage above the entry price to lock in gains.
4. **Order Cancellation**: If the limit order isn’t filled within a specific number of bars (default is 5 bars), it’s automatically canceled to avoid being filled at a potentially suboptimal price as market conditions change.
Strategy Workflow
1. **Identify Oversold Zone**: The strategy checks if the MFI falls below a defined oversold level (default is 20). Once this condition is met, the flag `inOversoldZone` is set to `true`.
2. **Wait for Exit from Oversold Zone**: When the MFI rises back above the oversold level, it’s considered a signal that the market is potentially recovering, and the strategy prepares to enter a position.
3. **Place Limit Order**: Upon exiting the oversold zone, the strategy places a limit order for a long position at a price below the current price, defined by the `Long Entry Percentage` parameter.
4. **Monitor Limit Order**: A counter (`barsSinceEntryOrder`) starts counting the bars since the limit order was placed. If the order isn’t filled within the specified number of bars, it’s canceled automatically.
5. **Set Stop-Loss and Take-Profit**: Once the order is filled, a stop-loss and take-profit are set based on user-defined percentages relative to the entry price.
6. **Exit Strategy**: The trade will close automatically when either the stop-loss or take-profit level is hit.
Advantages
- **Risk Management**: With configurable stop-loss and take-profit, the strategy ensures losses are limited while capturing profits at pre-defined levels.
- **Controlled Entry**: The use of a limit order below the current price helps secure a better entry point, enhancing risk-reward.
- **Oversold Exit Trigger**: Using the exit from an oversold zone as an entry condition can help catch reversals.
Disadvantages
- **Missed Entries**: If the limit order isn’t filled due to insufficient downward movement after the oversold signal, potential opportunities may be missed.
- **Dependency on MFI Sensitivity**: As the MFI is sensitive to both price and volume, its fluctuations might not always accurately represent oversold conditions.
Overall Purpose
The strategy is suited for traders who want to capture potential reversals after oversold conditions in the market, with a focus on precise entries, risk management, and an automated exit plan.
Austin's Apex AcceleratorIndicator Name: Austin’s Apex Accelerator
Overview
The Austin’s Apex Accelerator is a highly aggressive trading indicator designed specifically for high-frequency Forex trading. It combines several technical analysis tools to identify rapid entry and exit points, making it well-suited for intraday or even lower timeframe trades. The indicator leverages a combination of exponential moving averages (EMAs), Bollinger Bands, volume filters, and volatility-adjusted ranges to detect breakout opportunities and manage risk with precision.
Core Components
Fast and Slow EMAs: The two EMAs act as trend and momentum indicators. When the shorter EMA crosses the longer EMA, it signals a change in momentum. The crossover of these EMAs often indicates a potential entry point, especially when combined with volume and volatility filters.
ATR-Based Range Filter: Using the Average True Range (ATR) for dynamic range calculation, the indicator adapts to market volatility. Higher ATR values widen the range, helping the indicator adjust for volatile conditions.
Volume Filter: A volume condition ensures that buy and sell signals only trigger when there’s significant market interest, reducing the likelihood of false signals in low-liquidity environments.
Bollinger Bands: The Bollinger Bands provide additional context for potential overbought or oversold conditions, highlighting opportunities for price reversals or trend continuations.
Key Features
Aggressive Buy and Sell Signals:
Buy Signal: A buy signal is generated when the fast EMA crosses above the slow EMA, confirming bullish momentum, and the volume condition is met. If the price is also near the lower Bollinger Band, it adds further confirmation of an oversold condition.
Sell Signal: A sell signal is generated when the fast EMA crosses below the slow EMA, confirming bearish momentum, with sufficient trading volume. If the price is near the upper Bollinger Band, it signals a potential overbought condition, which supports the sell signal.
Dynamic Range with ATR:
The indicator uses a volatility-based range, derived from the ATR, to adjust the signal sensitivity based on recent price fluctuations. This dynamic range ensures that signals are responsive in both high and low volatility conditions.
The range’s upper and lower bands act as thresholds, with trades often occurring when the price breaches these levels, signaling momentum shifts or trend reversals.
Trend Background Color:
A green background highlights bullish trends when the fast EMA is above the slow EMA.
A red background signifies bearish trends when the fast EMA is below the slow EMA, providing a visual indication of the overall market trend direction.
Trend Line:
The indicator plots a dynamic trend line that changes color based on the price's relationship to the EMAs, helping traders quickly assess the current trend’s strength and direction.
Alerts:
The indicator includes configurable alerts for buy and sell signals, allowing traders to be notified of entry opportunities without needing to monitor the chart continuously.
How to Use Austin’s Apex Accelerator
Identify Entry Points:
Buy Entry: When the fast EMA crosses above the slow EMA, a buy signal is triggered. Confirm this signal by checking if the price is near or below the lower Bollinger Band (indicating an oversold condition) and if trading volume meets the set threshold.
Sell Entry: When the fast EMA crosses below the slow EMA, a sell signal is triggered. Confirm the signal by ensuring the price is near or above the upper Bollinger Band (suggesting an overbought condition) and that volume is sufficient.
Exit Strategy:
Take Profit: The take profit level is calculated as 1.5 times the ATR from the entry point. This ensures that each trade aims to achieve a positive risk/reward ratio.
Stop Loss: The stop loss is set at 1 ATR from the entry, providing a tight risk control mechanism that limits potential losses on each trade.
Trend Identification and Background Colors:
Use the background colors to assess the trend direction. A green background indicates a bullish trend, while a red background suggests a bearish trend. These colors can help you filter signals that go against the trend, increasing the chances of a successful trade.
Volume Confirmation:
This indicator has an inbuilt volume filter to prevent trading in low-volume conditions. Look for signals only when volume exceeds the average volume threshold, which is set by the multiplier. This helps avoid trading during quieter times when false signals are more likely.
Alerts:
Set up alerts for buy and sell signals to be notified in real-time whenever a new trading opportunity arises, so you can act on high-quality signals promptly.
Practical Tips for Using Austin’s Apex Accelerator
Timeframe: Best suited for short timeframes such as 5-minute or 15-minute charts for high-frequency trading.
Gold Scalping Strategy with Precise EntriesThe Gold Scalping Strategy with Precise Entries is designed to take advantage of short-term price movements in the gold market (XAU/USD). This strategy uses a combination of technical indicators and chart patterns to identify precise buy and sell opportunities during times of consolidation and trend continuation.
Key Elements of the Strategy:
Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs):
50 EMA: Used as the shorter-term moving average to detect the recent price trend.
200 EMA: Used as the longer-term moving average to determine the overall market trend.
Trend Identification:
A bullish trend is identified when the 50 EMA is above the 200 EMA.
A bearish trend is identified when the 50 EMA is below the 200 EMA.
Average True Range (ATR):
ATR (14) is used to calculate the market's volatility and to set a dynamic stop loss based on recent price movements. Higher ATR values indicate higher volatility.
ATR helps define a suitable stop-loss distance from the entry point.
Relative Strength Index (RSI):
RSI (14) is used as a momentum oscillator to detect overbought or oversold conditions.
However, in this strategy, the RSI is primarily used as a consolidation filter to look for neutral zones (between 45 and 55), which may indicate a potential breakout or trend continuation after a consolidation phase.
Engulfing Patterns:
Bullish Engulfing: A bullish signal is generated when the current candle fully engulfs the previous bearish candle, indicating potential upward momentum.
Bearish Engulfing: A bearish signal is generated when the current candle fully engulfs the previous bullish candle, signaling potential downward momentum.
Precise Entry Conditions:
Long (Buy):
The 50 EMA is above the 200 EMA (bullish trend).
The RSI is between 45 and 55 (neutral/consolidation zone).
A bullish engulfing pattern occurs.
The price closes above the 50 EMA.
Short (Sell):
The 50 EMA is below the 200 EMA (bearish trend).
The RSI is between 45 and 55 (neutral/consolidation zone).
A bearish engulfing pattern occurs.
The price closes below the 50 EMA.
Take Profit and Stop Loss:
Take Profit: A fixed 20-pip target (where 1 pip = 0.10 movement in gold) is used for each trade.
Stop Loss: The stop-loss is dynamically set based on the ATR, ensuring that it adapts to current market volatility.
Visual Signals:
Buy and sell signals are visually plotted on the chart using green and red labels, indicating precise points of entry.
Advantages of This Strategy:
Trend Alignment: The strategy ensures that trades are taken in the direction of the overall trend, as indicated by the 50 and 200 EMAs.
Volatility Adaptation: The use of ATR allows the stop loss to adapt to the current market conditions, reducing the risk of premature exits in volatile markets.
Precise Entries: The combination of engulfing patterns and the neutral RSI zone provides a high-probability entry signal that captures momentum after consolidation.
Quick Scalping: With a fixed 20-pip profit target, the strategy is designed to capture small price movements quickly, which is ideal for scalping.
This strategy can be applied to lower timeframes (such as 1-minute, 5-minute, or 15-minute charts) for frequent trade opportunities in gold trading, making it suitable for day traders or scalpers. However, proper risk management should always be used due to the inherent volatility of gold.
Profit & Risk CalculatorThe "Profit & Risk Calculator" script in Pine Script (TradingView) is designed to help users calculate potential profit and risk when trading, and to provide alerts when specific price levels are reached (such as entry price, take profit, or stop loss). It includes several components as described below:
1. Input Fields:
The user can manually input various prices: entry price, stop loss price, and take profit price, with steps of 0.25.
There is also an option to input a custom value (e.g., for personal lot sizing) and a total investment amount.
2. Dynamic Lines:
The script draws dynamic horizontal lines for the input prices: entry line (white), stop loss line (red), and take profit line (green).
These lines are automatically updated based on the entered price levels.
3. Labels for the Lines:
Labels are added to the lines to visually indicate the entry, stop loss, and take profit levels on the chart.
4. Long and Short Position Calculations:
The script calculates potential profit and loss for both long (profit if the price goes up) and short (profit if the price goes down) positions.
It also calculates the distance between entry and take profit, and distance between entry and stop loss, along with the risk/reward ratio (RR).
5. Alerts:
The script generates alerts when one of the following conditions is met:
Entry Condition: The price touches or exceeds the entry price (high >= entryPrice).
Stop Loss Condition: The price touches or drops below the stop loss price (low <= stopLossPrice).
Take Profit Condition: The price touches or exceeds the take profit price (high >= takeProfitPrice).
6. Lot Calculations:
The script calculates both micro and mini lot sizes based on a preset table and the custom value.
The results are displayed in a table on the chart.
7. Profit/Risk Table:
The script shows two tables:
One table calculates the profit, loss, and risk/reward ratio based on the input entry price.
A second table shows the same calculations based on the current price.
8. Chart Display:
The script places tables and other visual data on the chart, such as preset values, profit and loss calculations, and the distance from take profit and stop loss to the entry price.
English Explanation of Each Part of the Script
1. Input Fields
The script starts with several input fields where the user can specify the entry price, stop loss price, take profit price, custom value, and investment amount. These values help define the parameters for risk/reward calculations.
2. Dynamic Horizontal Lines
Three horizontal lines are drawn on the chart, representing the entry price, stop loss price, and take profit price. These lines update dynamically based on user input.
3. Dynamic Line Updates
As the user adjusts their inputs, the position of the lines is updated in real-time to match the new price levels. This keeps the chart visually accurate.
4. Labels for Lines
Labels are placed on the chart next to each price line, allowing the user to clearly see which line represents which price level.
5. Long and Short Position Calculations
The script calculates the potential profit or loss for both long (prices go up) and short (prices go down) positions, providing users with an idea of their potential gains or losses.
6. **6. Risk/Reward Ratio Calculation
This calculates the Risk/Reward Ratio (RR) by dividing the distance between the take profit and entry price by the distance between the entry and stop loss price. This gives the trader an idea of how much risk they're taking relative to the potential reward.
7. Alert Conditions
The alert conditions are defined based on the price hitting the set levels:
Entry Condition: If the price goes up and touches the entry level, the alert is triggered.
Stop Loss Condition: If the price drops and hits the stop loss level, the alert is triggered.
Take Profit Condition: If the price rises and reaches the take profit level, the alert is triggered.
8. Alert Configuration
Each condition is linked to an alert that sends a message when the specific price level is touched. The alerts notify the user when the entry, stop loss, or take profit levels are hit.
9. Lot Calculations
The script includes a function that calculates micro and mini lot sizes based on a preset table and a custom value input by the user. This is useful for adjusting lot sizes to the desired amount and determining position sizes for trades.
10. Entry Price-Based Profit & Loss Table
A table is generated on the chart that displays detailed information about the profit, loss, and risk/reward ratio based on the entry price. It helps traders see the potential outcomes for different lot sizes.
11. Current Price-Based Profit & Loss Table
This second table provides similar information as the first but calculates profit, loss, and risk/reward based on the current price. This allows the trader to see how their position performs as the market price changes in real time.

Timeframes: Works best when applied to lower timeframes (e.g., 1-hour chart) with a higher Heikin Ashi timeframe (e.g., 4-hour candles) to smooth out price action.
Leverage: The strategy performs well with leverage, but users should consider using 2x to 3x leverage to avoid excessive risk and potential liquidation. The strategy's low drawdown allows for moderate leverage use while maintaining risk control.
Customization: Traders can adjust the stop loss and take profit percentages based on their risk appetite and market conditions. A default setting of a 2% stop loss and 4% take profit provides a balanced risk/reward ratio.
Notes:
Risk Management: Traders should enable stop loss and take profit settings to maintain effective risk management and prevent large drawdowns during volatile market conditions.
Optimization: This strategy can be further optimized by adjusting the Heikin Ashi timeframe and risk parameters based on specific market conditions and assets.
Backtesting: The built-in backtesting functionality allows traders to test the strategy across different market conditions and historical data to ensure robustness before applying it to live trading.
How to Apply:
Select your preferred market and chart.
Choose the appropriate Heikin Ashi timeframe based on the chart's timeframe. (e.g., use 4-hour Heikin Ashi candles for 1-hour chart trends).
Adjust stop loss and take profit based on your risk management preference.
Run backtesting to evaluate its performance before applying it in live trading.
This strategy can be further modified and optimized based on personal trading style and market conditions. It’s important to monitor performance regularly and adjust settings as needed to align with market behavior.
G.O.A.T. Scalper Diagnostics v1OVERVIEW:
The G.O.A.T. Scalper Diagnostics indicator system enables users to discover unorthodox indicator patterns, reading price charts in unusual ways, thus gaining an edge over the majority of market participants they trade against.
CONCEPTS:
Th G.O.A.T. Scalper Diagnostics is a system that aims to satisfy the fundamental condition for successful online trading - providing an edge.
It's a battle between advantages. To take other people's money, successful traders must have an advantage over everybody else. To hope for consistent success in trading, you need to do things differently and see what almost nobody else sees. Of course then you must act on it, and that's where the G.O.A.T. Scalper Diagnostic's mandate ends.
I believe the vast majority of indicators out there show you what everybody else sees. I've always been an indicator guy, I respect and cherish most indicators and I know a good indicator when I see it.
However, although most indicators are great works of art, their practicality is in most cases doubtful. Presenting great information is one thing, but providing an edge over the people you trade against is something different.
What Everybody Else Sees
The G.O.A.T. Scalper Diagnostics is based on indicators most of you have probably heard of and used:
Moving Averages (particularly the Kaufman Moving Average, among others)
ADX and DI
Bollinger Bands
Stochastic (particularly the Stochastic RSI)
Most traders should be well familiar with these classic indicators, they've provided the basis for online indicator trading for decades. But it's also true that due to how popular online trading has become all over the world, one is more and more unable to use these indicators successfully on lower timeframes.
Usually, more noteworthy success is achieved by going up in scale and discovering the timeframe where a particular indicator produces no false signals. Often times these timeframes range from bi-weekly to multi-month scale. In other words, consistently successful low timeframe trading and scalp trading in particular are now almost impossible using indicators.
Traders that dominate the scalping arena are big professional/institutional groups of traders, who have systematic access to the order books of most exchanges. This can be achieved one way or another, but not by individuals, small groups without significant capital or simply traders who lack political/social power and influence in the trading field.
In other words - giant order book traders have an edge over everybody else, who use indicators to trade on lower timeframes.
Through a series of interventions into these classical indicators, the G.O.A.T. System brings them back into the lower timeframe competitive game. Most original formulas are preserved, but these immortal classics are applied in ways popular TA would consider unorthodox.
Ingenious Indicators Built by Creators
The G.O.A.T. Scalper Diagnostics relies on the fundamental work of others. The System is developed on the basis of:
Quadratic Kernel Regression - it uses the publicly published library of Justin Dehorty: www.tradingview.com
PMARP - Price Moving Average Ratio & Percentile, publicly published by "The_Caretaker": www.tradingview.com
These Creators deserve full credit for their fundamental work and are endorsed by the G.O.A.T. Scalper Diagnostics project.
And yet... ingenious and inspired as these tools are, in my humble opinion the general public is presented with a rather unproductive way to apply them. In my own view, these wonderful tools built by JDehorty and The_Caretaker have a massive potential should they be applied and wielded in a different direction. So I tried to bring my vision about them into flesh with the G.O.A.T. Diagnostics.
What the G.O.A.T. Scalper Diagnostics Is and How to Use It
It's a System for new pattern discovery, bringing the disciplines of pattern and indicator trading together.
By using it as a stand-alone, or mixing it with other great indicators, one is able to discover new indicator patterns. Patterns can be compared, matched together and categorized. By applying statistics to differentiated historical pattern groups, we're able to derive their meaning.
Thus, the trader is able to research their own "alphabet" to read the price charts. After categorizing and differentiating pattern groups with statistically predominant meaning, the trader is then able to read into longer scenarios - price set-ups that are harder to detect due to them being stretched in time or misshapen according to the particular situation.
The G.O.A.T. Scalper leverages and encourages group trading, as different traders will probably discover different price "alphabets" for themselves, potentially giving rise to a social economy of sharing and combining "trading languages" based on indicator patterns people have discovered via the G.O.A.T. Diagnostics.
Support/Resistance Trading
The G.O.A.T. Scalper has its own way of deriving Support/Resistance.
Unlike most existing S/R indicators, The Scalper derives Support/Resistance not by measuring price highs, lows and closes, but solely by using momentum and trend strength.
This seems like a much more versatile way to plot S/R during scalping on low timeframes where time is of essence and the trader's view is too narrow to have macro S/R levels in constant consideration.
The Scalper's way to derive S/R in real time and on the go, while staying very relative to important higher timeframe S/R zones, makes it much more desirable than any other S/R indicator I've thus far encountered.
All S/R functionality is derived from the classical ADX and DI indicator. To do this, I use the ADX and DI in an unpopular way. To generate the actual plot of S/R levels I also modify the indicator's code, not by removing functional parts from it, but adding more to it in order to filter the signals it produces.
I can metaphorically describe its action in the following way:
Imagine you're Price action itself;
You're walking through a labyrinth or corridors. You're walking through one straight corridor, and it has a crossing with another corridor ahead;
Very strong wind is blowing along that other corridor. You can't see the wind, but when you reach it and try to move past it, the force of the wind resists your moving ahead and instead pushes you sideways.
At this point, the G.O.A.T. Diagnostics already knows this can only be one thing - resistance.
Orthodox TA and trading demand retests. In my opinion, this deeply rooted tradition wastes time proving the obvious, then wastes time again double-proving the validity of recent past, while scalping opportunities go to waste. Modern successful traders are way ahead of the popular strategy of testing and retesting S/R that almost every trader uses. So-called "Stops hunting" is just one expression of this situation, where wide adoption of the S/R retesting strategy actually lures unsuccessful traders into the schemes of the successful few.
In my own way of trading, I use the G.O.A.T. Diagnostics to take action on Support/Resistance as it's plotted in real time.
But probably my biggest heresy into the DI is my opinion, that the crossings of the +DI and -DI are useless and should actually be discarded.
My research shows that the DIs often show indications of being "oversold", but don't seem to exhibit an "overbought" state. Statistically, I've had much more success basing my TA on that, rather than cross-ups and cross-downs of the DI plot lines.
Therefore I discarded these crossings by presenting the DI part of the ADX and DI as a Heatmap channel rather than crossing lines.
To further enhance the ability of the System to provide S/R analysis, I plot this Heatmap onto an adjustable price offset plots (a percentage above and below current price).
In modern times, the vast majority of trading is done by automatic machines and algorithms. To give a specific example, one can easily notice, that a 5% offset of the BTC 1h price plot leads to remarkably accurate S/R charting. Following the rule to chart a S/R line connecting highs and lows on the 5% price offset often successfully "foresees" valid S/R zones before price ever visits them. Or, the levels were visited so far back in the timeframe's history that orthodox understanding considers them "invalidated" or washed away in the noise of the relevant volume profile.
My explanation for this is simple - I think Grid bots now dominate automatic trading across the majority of exchanges.
In my understanding, by adjusting the percentage offset of current price action I can often discover relevant conglomerations of dominating Grid bot cell parameters and anticipate price reaction. By plotting the DI heatmap on these price action offsets I can use the indicator for my trading decisions.
Heatmaps
Every heatmap produces different series of data. They're not the same.
Bollinger Band heatmap depicts the percentile distance between the Band's extremes.
The price candles heatmap, and the KAMA moving average heatmap, depict the percentile distance between price and the KAMA. So, it's the same thing. However, the percentile of that distance is calculated in two different ways, hence the difference in color in every particular moment. This color discrepancy aims to visualize the "strain" between price action and KAMA, like a soft and hard "springs" that go in unison with each other in sustainable moves, and in dissonance with each other during unsustainable moves.
Price offset heatmap depicts the percentile average of the +DI (above price) and the -DI (below price). A Hot temperature above price and a Cold temperature below price would mean a strong bullish sentiment, and vise versa, while Green would mean neutrality in sentiment.
There are important interplays between different heatmaps. For example, although representing totally different things, a Teal price bar would almost always (according to historical statistics) foreshadow a change in DI's heatmap sentiment. That's just one avenue of correlation between S/R analysis and sentiment analysis using the G.O.A.T. Diagnostics.
Oscillator Chart
In terms of applying Quadratic Kernel Regression, I endorse the natural principle that no center can exist without a periphery, and no periphery can exist without a center. Therefore I try to pay attention not only to the average of the regression's values, but also to the cloud of data points itself.
Following this understanding, I attempt to depict the natural cycles of price converging/diverging towards/from its regression average. To do this, I apply the classic Stochastic formula.
Thus, the Oscillator part of the System depicts the following:
Thin heatmap line displays the cycles of price converging with its quadratic kernel regression average (moving down), and diverging with its regression average (moving up). Its heatmap depicts the percentile of this oscillation.
The wider heatmap line displays the KAMA's cycles of convergence/divergence with its own quadratic kernel regression average. The reason for this is again creating discrepancy - while KAMA is based on price action, its regression data values differ from those of price action's regression. This discrepancy produces useful historic patterns that can be studied statistically.
The thin and wide purple oscillator lines depict the change of slope of price action regression average and KAMA regression average, respectively. Very often change of slope is not detectable with the naked eye, but clearly indicated by the oscillators.
By combining all these elements into a single analysis, a trader can detect hidden trends that are yet to become visible for the rest of market participants.
For example, convergence of price with its quadratic kernel regression average while the slope of the average deteriorates down in most cases (according to statistics) means a sideways consolidation in a downtrend before downtrend continuation. Conversely, deviation of price action from its regression average while the regression average slope deteriorates down usually marks the very beginning of a downtrend.
Bollinger Bands
Bollinger Bands are not modified, but are based on quadratic kernel regression values. Thus, if Bollinger Bands themselves are indicative of volatility, then based on kernel regression values, they should indicate the volatility of change of values in the regression's window.
Again, applying it to both the price and KAMA regression data series, a discrepancy is highlighted that leads to useful historical patterns subject to analysis and categorization.
SOME EXAMPLES
Support / Resistance
Support/Resistance levels are market by White Triangles with dotted lines plotted from them, in real time. The indicator plots Ghost Triangles in anticipation of Support/Resistance, preparing the trader for the eventual confirmation of a zone of interest and signaling price is feeling Support or Resistance pressure.
Dialing the length of the S/R lines to 25 makes the indicator more useful.
Dialing the setting to 500 clearly shows macro S/R zones by conglomerating and bundling individual lines. The thicker the bundling and the confluence of lines, the more significant the zone.
Thus lower timeframe scalping and trading is made more easy, without the need to do nearly as much manual S/R charting. Support/Resistance analysis and plotting is entirely based on a modified ADX.
Heatmap
Sustainable moves are generally marked by Green price color and calm KAMA colors.
Unsustainable moves are usually marked by more extreme colors of price bars and KAMA. Red usually means price is unsustainably distanced from the KAMA, while deep Blue usually means price is undesirably close to the KAMA, foreshadowing a directional distancing.
Usually Teal color of price bars and KAMA foreshadow a change of sentiment of the outside Heatmap sentiment channel.
Red color of the outside channel always signals the direction of the desired sentimental movement, while Blue signals the extent at which the counter-element suffers. Thus, one side being Green, while the other is Blue, often means the Blue will soon evolve into a warmer color, attracting price in that direction. Outside Heatmap channel is entirely based on a modified DI.
Oscillator Chart
An example of Chart Diagnosis using the Oscillator and other elements of the G.O.A.T. Scalper:
First (far left), a Resistance is plotted. This coincides with price bars being Red (distressed state). The thin colorful Oscillator line takes an Up-turn, signifying a period of price moving away from its Quadratic Kernel Regression (pink moving average).
After Price cools down to Green sustainable colors, a Support is plotted. During this time, the thin colorful line is falling down, signifying a period when the distance between price action and its quadratic kernel regression average is decreasing.
During this phase, the thin purple Oscillator line goes up. This signifies the slope of the price regression is restoring to the upside.
Next, the thin colorful line starts going up again, signifying another period of price getting further away from its regression average. This time to the upside.
Resistance is being broken and new support is established. At this point, the thin colorful line starts falling again, signifying distance between price and its regression MA is shortening. This is clearly visible as a sideways consolidation (with a slight tilt up of slope).
A moment comes when all lines - the price and KAMA lines, and price and KAMA regression slopes, all point down. A new down period is clearly starting. This is further indicated by Teal price bars and new Resistance forming. Notice how the external heatmap channel goes into more balanced Green colors with trend enthusiasm calming down.
This analysis may appear to be overwhelming and confusing at first, as these metrics are unorthodox and unpopular. But different aspects of the indicator can be toggled ON/OFF to single them out, which makes observations much simpler for new users. After some time spent discovering personal patterns, or reviewing other users' catalogues with already published pattern libraries, it soon becomes easy to read charts in this new way.
Bollinger Bands
Bollinger Bands provide another way to produce patterns that give users specific chart information.
One noteworthy indication is when the price and KAMA Bollinger Bands separate their value zones. Since the zones of these Bands are based on the kernel regression values of the respective sources, their separation is significant and too often means violent reversals or violent continuations (which usually can be judged using the other metrics the System provides, or additional indicators of choice).
Another noteworthy Bollinger Band pattern is when price action leaves a prolonged trending move.
First phase of the end of a prolonged trending move is the BB zones expanding and doing a significant overlap.
Second stage is price getting reaccepted in the Price BB. This however doesn't mean reacceptance in the KAMA BB and if the moment isn't right, usually leads to bounces and continuations.
The KAMA needs to "make space" for price to get reaccepted into the KAMA BB. While the KAMA is outside its BB or very near to its wall, price reacceptance into it is not very probable. When KAMA withdraws from its BB wall, opening an "entrance on its membrane", that's when price is eligible to get reaccepted into the KAMA BB. That's usually the moment the long awaited consolidation starts and a long trending move is over.
Users of the G.O.A.T. Scalper Diagnostics can discover many more patterns and correlations between patterns within the System. But the System itself can multiply all possible patterns when inspected in the context of additional indicators, leading to vast possibilities of signal and pattern discovery with huge potential.
A very good idea would probably be to use the G.O.A.T. Diagnostics together with the Ichimoku.
Ichimoku has always been famous for its genius simplicity and elegant profoundness, but notorious for its total lack of accuracy, as well as general uselessness on lower timeframes. The G.O.A.T. System has the potential to enhance all of Ichimoku's strengths and cure its weaknesses.
Yet another good idea may be to pair it with kindred indicators, like the Gaussian Channel, which has a stunning performance, but suffers from too high level of generalization. The Diagnostics can provide the intricate texture of price manoeuvres the Gaussian Channel fails to register, while the GC can give the Scalper even more solid context for its patterns.
The worthwhile possibilities seem endless...
Entry Table
I've added a little Entry Table at the bottom right corner. It's designed to potentially help scalpers trade faster, and to visualize a potential trade they're thinking about before they execute it. A Stop Loss is visually plotted in real time to better visualize it's placement in the chart context.
It encourages responsible risk management in its settings:
The user enters the amount of their trading portfolio;
Then specify the percentage of their portfolio they're willing to risk at every trade;
After that the user can chose to specify a flat percentage Stop Loss.
The table will calculate the size of the entry of a market order, so the user only risks the specified percentage of their portfolio should the specified Stop Loss level is hit.
There's also the option to use automatically suggested Stop Loss, based on recent volatility. The actual Stop Loss is calculated 20% away from the actual volatility level, to better protect from unforeseen wicks.
In the current example, the user with a $1000 trading portfolio has to do a $1000 entry to lose 1% of their portfolio ($10) at a 1% Stop Loss.
But the user has to do a $2,525 entry in order to lose 1% of their portfolio (%10) at a much closer Stop Loss which is less than 1%, based on recent volatility.
The Entry Table should be considered as a cosmetic convenience and not a dedicated risk management tool.
CONCLUSION:
The G.O.A.T. Scalper Diagnostics is an indicator System, based on popular, but modified and tweaked versions of indicators like the ADX and DI, Stochastic, Bollinger Bands and MAs. It also leverages the remarkable work of inspired creators: JDehorty's Quadratic Kernel Regression library, and The_Caretaker's PMARP .
The G.O.A.T. Scalper Diagnostics indicator system enables users to discover so-called new "indicator-pattern alphabets", reading price charts in new and unorthodox ways, thus gaining an edge over the majority of market participants they trade against.
The high degree of freedom when discovering new patterns, either within the System itself or correlating its output to external auxiliary indicators, highlights the System's potential for original discoveries leading to highly personalized trading strategies. Exchanging information about personal pattern libraries can potentially also give birth to new private trading communities.

Remember to adapt the strategy parameters to your risk tolerance and trading style, and always practice proper risk management.
[XSO-Premium-X1]The indicator is a comprehensive, premium trading indicator designed to optimize your trading strategy through advanced price action analysis. By examining raw price data and market structure, it identifies key areas where price movements are likely to occur. This indicator serves as an essential trading companion, significantly reducing the time required for analysing price action and enabling you to place trades manually or via automated alerts.
Summary:
The indicator is a sophisticated tool crafted for analysing and predicting market trends using a variety of technical analysis techniques. It integrates multiple calculations, filters, and conditions to pinpoint optimal buy and sell signals, thereby assisting you in making well-informed decisions. The indicator emphasizes trend detection, sideways market identification, and signal generation, all while providing visual cues and alerts for trading actions.
The indicator leverages price action calculations to evaluate the market's bullish or bearish tendencies, ensuring that signals are only triggered when price action is strong enough.
This indicator performs extensive calculations, consolidating our top tools into a master signal generator that includes new, extensively tested methods previously unavailable to the public. Signals are confirmed when multiple factors, including price action, align. The indicator swiftly reacts to market changes, providing early signals at the first signs of a reversal.
HOW TO USE THE INDICATOR
Buy Signal
An orange “Buy Signal” will be plotted on the chart to indicate when the most opportunistic time is to place a trade. The indicator includes alert functionality so that you can be notified using the standard Trading View alert management options.
You will see indicated by the blue arrows on the above graph the entry or ‘buy’ signals. The signal is represented by an orange box and clearly states ‘Buy Signal’ inside it. You are also provided with the close price of the bar for which the entry/buy value should be.
Sell Signal
The sell signal will look at the market and detect changes within the trend. There are multiple tools that are used to determine the best time to exit/sell the trade. Our advanced algorithm continually monitors the current action and will determine the most desirable time to display a sell signal box which is blue in colour. This signal will be shown directly on the chart.
Indicated in blue arrows you will see the sell signals. Each signal has four values:
Type of Signal
The current close price of the current bar
The percentage change from the original corresponding buy signal
The previous buy signal’s close price
The indicator will look at many factors when determining if you should exit a trade. Look at the image below and you can see a typical buy and sell signal combination:
The bottom blue arrow indicates your entry or “buy” trade and the top blue arrow indicates your exit or “sell” trade. As you can see you would have entered/bought at 185.76 and exited/sold at 186.895 with a 0.61% margin.
Here is another example:
Hold Asset / Stop Loss
If the market moves to the downside after you have entered a trade then the indicator will track this. Our analysis may determine that the market may continue to fall or that simply the conditions are no longer favourable. Under these circumstances the indicator will flag for you to Hold Asset / Stop Loss. You can then make a decision if you want to hold onto your asset or sell it at a loss.
If you look on the chart below you can see an example of these signals plotted on the chart indicated by the blue arrow.
Alert Management
There are 3 alerts that are fixed. They are:
Buy Signal
Sell Signal
Hold Asset / Stop Loss
You can select which alert you would like to trigger from the standard trading view alert management page. For all buying you would select “Buy Signal” for all selling/take profit you would select “Sell Signal” and for holding the asset (maybe to set a limit order) or to sell the asset at a loss (stop loss), you would choose “Hold Asset / Stop Loss”.
Best Utilization of Our Indicator with Lower Time Frames
Our indicator is specifically designed to excel in short-term trading environments, making it the perfect tool for scalping strategies. For optimal performance, it is best utilized with time frames under 5 minutes . Here’s why our indicator is tailored for lower time frames and not suitable for long-term signalling:
1. Scalping Focus:
o Scalping involves making numerous trades throughout the trading session to capture small price movements. Our indicator is engineered to identify these quick, short-term opportunities, making it ideal for time frames of 3 minutes and under.
2. Rapid Signal Generation:

Support and Resistance Breakouts By RICHIESupport and resistance are fundamental concepts in technical analysis used to identify price levels on charts that act as barriers, preventing the price of an asset from getting pushed in a certain direction. Here’s a detailed description of each and how breakout strategies are typically used:
Support
Support is a price level where a downtrend can be expected to pause due to a concentration of demand. As the price of an asset drops, it hits a level where buyers tend to step in, causing the price to rebound.
Support Level Identification: Support levels are identified by looking at historical data where prices have repeatedly fallen to a certain level but have then rebounded.
Strength of Support: The more times an asset price hits a support level without breaking below it, the stronger that support level is considered to be.
Resistance
Resistance is a price level where an uptrend can be expected to pause due to a concentration of selling interest. As the price of an asset increases, it hits a level where sellers tend to step in, causing the price to drop.
Resistance Level Identification: Resistance levels are identified by looking at historical data where prices have repeatedly risen to a certain level but have then fallen back.
Strength of Resistance: The more times an asset price hits a resistance level without breaking above it, the stronger that resistance level is considered to be.
Breakouts
A breakout occurs when the price moves above a resistance level or below a support level with increased volume. Breakouts can be significant because they suggest a change in supply and demand dynamics, often leading to strong price movements.
Breakout Above Resistance: Indicates a bullish market sentiment. Traders often interpret this as a sign to enter a long position (buy).
Breakout Below Support: Indicates a bearish market sentiment. Traders often interpret this as a sign to enter a short position (sell).
Breakout Trading Strategies
Confirmation: Wait for a candle to close beyond the support or resistance level to confirm the breakout.
Volume: Increased volume on a breakout adds credibility, suggesting that the price move is supported by strong buying or selling interest.
Retest: Sometimes, after a breakout, the price will return to the breakout level to test it as a new support or resistance. This retest offers another entry point.
Stop-Loss: Place stop-loss orders just below the resistance (for long positions) or above the support (for short positions) to limit potential losses in case of a false breakout.
Take-Profit: Identify target levels for taking profits. These can be set based on previous support/resistance levels or using tools like Fibonacci retracements.
Enhanced Forex IndicatorDescription of the "Enhanced Forex Indicator"
The "Enhanced Forex Indicator" is designed for traders who want a comprehensive technical analysis tool on the TradingView platform. This script integrates Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs), support and resistance zones, and candlestick pattern recognition to provide actionable trading signals, particularly useful for Forex and other financial markets. The script is suitable for intraday trading and swing trading.
Components of the Indicator
Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs):
Short EMA (Blue Line): Faster responding average, good for identifying recent trend changes.
Long EMA (Red Line): Slower moving average, helps in confirming longer-term trends.
Support and Resistance Zones:
Resistance Zone (Red): Area where potential selling pressure could overcome buying pressure, halting price increases temporarily or reversing them.
Support Zone (Green): Area where potential buying pressure could overcome selling pressure, supporting prices and preventing them from falling further.
Candlestick Patterns:
Bullish Engulfing Pattern (Green Triangle Up 'BE'): Suggests a potential upward reversal or start of a bullish trend.
Bearish Engulfing Pattern (Red Triangle Down 'BE'): Indicates a potential downward reversal or start of a bearish trend.
Buy/Sell Signals:
Buy Signal (Green Label 'BUY'): Triggered when the price is above both EMAs and a bullish engulfing pattern is detected.
Sell Signal (Red Label 'SELL'): Triggered when the price is below both EMAs and a bearish engulfing pattern is detected.
Trading Setup:
Entry: Consider entering a buy position when the 'BUY' signal appears, indicating bullish conditions. Enter a sell position when the 'SELL' signal appears, indicating bearish conditions.
Exit: Look for closing signals opposite your entry or use predefined take profit and stop loss levels. For instance, exit a buy position on a 'SELL' signal or when the price drops below the support zone.
Risk Management:
Set stop losses just below the support zone for buy orders and above the resistance zone for sell orders to protect against significant losses.
Adjust position sizes according to your risk tolerance and account balance.
Considerations:
Use this indicator in conjunction with other analysis tools and fundamental data to confirm signals and strengthen your trading strategy.
Periodically backtest the strategy based on this indicator to ensure its effectiveness in current market conditions.
Optimization:
Adjust the lengths of the EMAs and the buffer size of the support and resistance zones to better fit the asset's volatility and your trading timeframe.
RSI Multi Strategies With Overlay SignalsHello everyone,
In this indicator, you will find 6 different entry and exit signals based on the RSI :
Entry into overbought and oversold zones
Exit from overbought and oversold zones
Crossing the 50 level
RSI cross RSI MA below or above the 50 level
RSI cross RSI MA in the overbought or oversold zones
RSI Divergence
With the signals identified, you can create your own strategy . (If you have any suggestions, please mention them in the comments).
Beyond these signals, you can set SL (Stop Loss) and TP (Take Profit) levels to better manage your positions.
SL Methods:
Percentage: The stop loss is determined by the percentage you specify.
ATR : The stop level is determined based on the Average True Range (ATR).
TP Methods:
Percentage: The take profit is determined by the percentage you specify.
RR ( Risk Reward ): The take profit level is determined based on the distance from the stop level.
You can mix and match these options as you like.
What makes the indicator unique and effective is its ability to display the RSI in the bottom chart and the signals, SL (Stop Loss), and TP (Take Profit) levels in the overlay chart simultaneously. This feature allows you to manage your trading quickly and easily without the need for using two separate indicators.
Let's try out a few strategies together.
My entry signal: RSI Entered OS (Oversold) Zone
My exit signal: RSI Entered OB (Overbought) Zone
I'm not using a stoploss for this strategy ("Fortune favors the brave").
Let's keep ourselves safe by adding a stop loss.
I'm adding an ATR-based stop loss.
I think it's better now.
If you have any questions or suggestions about the indicator, you can contact me.
Cheers
