Fibonacci Trailing Stop [LuxAlgo]The Fibonacci Trailing Stop indicator creates a Trailing Stop, based on Fibonacci levels which are retrieved from the latest swing high & low . This provides a Trailing Stop-line .
🔶 USAGE
The Fibonacci Trailing Stop can indicate the current trend direction.
Shadows can also provide potential support/resistance areas.
Users can also display Fibonacci retracements.
🔶 CONCEPTS
🔹 Basic principles
There are 2 basic principles:
Every new swing will create or update a new Fibonacci pattern, potentially changing the Fibonacci Trailing Stop (FTS)
The Trend depends on whether the FTS is crossed/breached, the trigger is a chosen 'level/trigger'
(settings -> Fibonacci Trailing Stop -> Level/Trigger)
In an uptrend, these levels will be placed at the bottom half of the pattern.
In a downtrend, these levels will be placed at the top half of the pattern.
Once a trend is established, the Trailing Stop will only update in the direction of the trend:
Only higher when in an uptrend
Only lower when in a downtrend
If a Trailing Stop line is broken, the trend shifts to the other direction
The FTS line is accompanied by a secondary line (colour-filled), created by smaller swings (half of L/R, rounded to above)
EXAMPLES
• New bullish Trend/pattern
• Updating later on
• Bearish Trend -> breached -> New bullish Trend -> Trend is updated later on, and is breached at the end:
• Trend broken -> new Trend/direction:
• Bearish Trend -> breached -> New bullish Trend -> breached -> New bearish Trend (Here you see the latest cross of the bullish trend)
🔹 Shadows & latest Fibonacci
The indicator contains the option to show:
Latest Fibonacci
Shadows : previous Fibonacci Levels (will only appear after a 1 bar delay)
Shadows can be very useful to provide support/resistance areas, especially from large shadow-blocks .
When shadows are enabled, the color fill of Latest Fibonacci and FTS will be removed, this to provide less clutter:

Auto Fibonacci Levels [MisterMoTA]Using Auto Fibonacci Levels indicator users can find automatically Fibonacci Extension points where price can go after a period of consolidation (sideways or can find points for support/resistance on retracement levels that can be displayed for any defined range.
The script is different from others by letting users to define a consolidation range, user can input the time when range ends and the number of candles for looking back from the defined time, default value is 16 candles.
Users have total control over range definitions, fibonacci numbers, colors and option to show or hide the lines.
The user can choose to display Fibomacci Bullish Expansion levels and also Fibonacci Bearish Expansion level.
After a move hit a resistance or support can be choosed a range to find retracement levels, Bullish or Bearish retracement levels can be displayed checking the options from the indicator pannel.
Here are few examples of usage:
1. Bullish expansion (extension)
2. Bearish expansion (extension)
3. Bullish Retracement
4. Bearish Retracement
The indicator can be used on any timeframe for any pairs, stocks, crypto, forex.
Bullish and Bearish Candlestick Patterns StrategyThe strategy is a combination of candlestick pattern analysis and Fibonacci retracement levels to identify potential buy and sell signals in the market. Here's how the strategy works and how you can trade accordingly:
Candlestick Pattern Analysis:
The strategy looks for specific bullish and bearish candlestick patterns to identify potential trend reversals or continuations. The bullish patterns include:
Bullish Engulfing: This pattern occurs when a bullish candle fully engulfs the previous bearish candle.
Hammer: It is a single candlestick pattern with a small body and a long lower wick, indicating a potential bullish reversal.
Morning Star: This pattern consists of three candles, with the middle one being a small-bodied candle that gaps down and the other two being bullish candles.
The bearish patterns include:
Bearish Engulfing: Similar to the bullish engulfing, but this time, a bearish candle fully engulfs the previous bullish candle.
Shooting Star: A single candlestick pattern with a small body and a long upper wick, suggesting a potential bearish reversal.
Evening Star: This pattern is the opposite of the morning star, with a small-bodied candle that gaps up between two bearish candles.
Fibonacci Retracement Levels:
The strategy uses Fibonacci retracement levels to determine potential support and resistance levels in the market. The main level considered in this strategy is the Fibonacci 0.5 level, which is the midpoint of the previous swing move.
Trading Accordingly:
To trade using this strategy, follow these steps:
a. Observe the Chart: Apply the indicator to your preferred chart, and observe the candlestick patterns and the plotted support, resistance, and Fibonacci 0.5 levels.
b. Buy Signal: A buy signal is generated when any of the bullish candlestick patterns (Bullish Engulfing, Hammer, Morning Star) occur, and the low price of the current candle is above or equal to the Fibonacci 0.5 level. This suggests a potential bullish reversal or continuation of an existing uptrend.
c. Sell Signal: A sell signal is generated when any of the bearish candlestick patterns (Bearish Engulfing, Shooting Star, Evening Star) occur, and the high price of the current candle is below or equal to the Fibonacci 0.5 level. This indicates a potential bearish reversal or continuation of an existing downtrend.
d. Risk Management: Place stop-loss orders to protect your position in case the market moves against your trade. Consider setting the stop-loss below the recent swing low for buy trades and above the recent swing high for sell trades.
e. Take Profit: Set a target for taking profits based on your risk-reward ratio. You can use the recent swing high for buy trades as a potential target and the recent swing low for sell trades.
f. Filter Signals: Keep in mind that not all signals will result in profitable trades. It's essential to filter signals with other technical analysis tools and consider the overall market context.
Remember that no trading strategy guarantees profits, and trading always carries inherent risks. It's crucial to practice proper risk management, use appropriate position sizing, and test the strategy thoroughly in a demo environment before applying it to live trading. Additionally, consider combining this strategy with other indicators or analysis methods to make more informed .
Fair Value Gap [MyTradingCoder]Introducing the "Fair Value Gap" indicator, a powerful tool designed to identify and visualize areas of potential market gaps where leftover orders may reside. This indicator utilizes price action analysis, specifically focusing on fair value gaps that occur between the current candle and the candle two bars prior.
The Fair Value Gap indicator draws customizable zones on the chart, representing bullish or bearish areas with distinct green or red colors. These zones highlight market gaps where price action has left a void, indicating the possibility of significant order activity in that region.
Key Features:
Liquidity Zone: Utilize the Fair Value Gap zones as areas of liquidity, offering potential entry points for trades.
Support/Resistance Indicator: Configure the indicator to extend beyond the initial breakout or gap fill, allowing it to act as a support/resistance zone indicator.
The Fair Value Gap indicator has several adjustable settings to customize its behavior according to your trading preferences. These settings include:
Invalidation Outcome: Choose how the fair value gap zone is treated when it becomes invalidated. Options include:
-Stop Updating: Maintain the gap zone in its current state without further updates.
-Delete: Completely remove the fair value gap from the screen.
Invalidation Method: Determine the logic that invalidates the fair value gap. Options include:
-Gap Fill: Visually shrink the zone as price action closes the gap until it is completely filled, at which point it gets deleted entirely.
-Number Of Breakouts: Invalidate the gap after a certain number of breaks or flips over the zone's border. Configure the allowed number of breakouts with the "Breakouts Until Invalidation" input.
-Age Of Gap: Invalidate the gap after a specified number of bars have passed since its creation. Set the threshold with the "Bars Until Invalidation" input.
Color Customization: Customize the appearance of the fair value gap zones with various color inputs, including bullish and bearish border colors, middle line color (shared for both bullish and bearish gaps), bullish and bearish background colors.
Line Width: Adjust the width of the border lines and the center line within the fair value gap zone for better visual clarity.
Please note that the Fair Value Gap indicator is a valuable tool but should be used alongside other technical analysis methods to make well-informed trading decisions. It does not guarantee profitable trades but aims to provide insights into potential areas of interest.
Discover opportunities within market gaps and leverage the power of leftover orders with the Fair Value Gap indicator—an indispensable asset in your trading toolkit.
Supply and Demand Daily [LuxAlgo]The Supply and Demand Daily indicator displays daily supply and demand areas on the user's chart. These areas are constructed using the market data within a previous daily interval.
This script makes use of the same logic as our previous Supply and Demand Visible Range indicator .
🔶 USAGE
The supply/demand areas & levels displayed by the indicator aim to provide potential support/resistance levels for users. Supply areas highlight where buyers are willing to exit the market and sell the asset, thus providing resistance and potentially causing prices to reverse or bounce back downwards, while demand areas highlights where buyers were willing to purchase the asset, thus providing support and potentially causing prices to reverse or bounce back upwards.
Historical areas allow the user to study the evolution of supply/demand from one day to another. Wider areas highlight prices avoiding reverting to this area, while thinner areas highlight prices returning more frequently to them.
Trends can be determined by looking at the price position relative to the previous day's supply/demand areas. Price breaking down from the demand zone is indicative of a downtrend, while price breaking above the supply zone is indicative of an uptrend.
Pullback/throwback scenarios can also be common using this indicator.
🔶 SETTINGS
Threshold %: Percentage of the total visible range volume used as a threshold to set supply/demand areas. Higher values return wider areas.
Resolution: Determines the number of bins used to find each area. Higher values will return more precise results.
Intra-bar TF: Timeframe used to obtain intra-bar data.

Anchored VWAP+This indicator is an enhanced version of the Anchored VWAP indicator with additional functions:
1. Anchored AP (average price). It removes the volume weighting step in Anchored VWAP, and can display the average price over a period of time. For example, if the price of the stock in the last 3 days is 100, 200, 300, then AP is their average value of 200
2. Anchored AC (average cost). The average cost over time can be displayed. For example, if the price of the stock in the last 2 days is 100,300, then AC is (1+1)/(1/100+1/300)=150
When using the indicator, you need to choose a starting point, then the indicator will start to calculate the subsequent VWAP, AP and AC from this starting point, and draw 3 lines in the graph
These three lines can be regarded as the average cost line of the market, with potential support and resistance effects
We have filled the shadow between VWAP and AP, which can be regarded as a potential support resistance band
===========================中文版本===========================
该指标为增强版本的Anchored VWAP指标。在Anchored VWAP基础上增加了额外功能：
1. Anchored AP。其去掉了Anchored VWAP中成交量加权的步骤，可以显示一段时间的平均价格。举个例子，假如股票最近3天的价格为100，200，300，那么AP为他们的平均值200
2. Anchored AC。可以显示一段时间的平均成本。举个例子，假如股票最近2天的价格为100，300，那么AC为(1+1)/(1/100+1/300)=150
使用指标时你需要先选择一个起点，随后指标将会以该起点开始计算后续的VWAP、AP和AC，并且在图中绘制3根线
这3根线均可以视作是市场的平均成本线，具有潜在的支撑和阻力效果
我们让VWAP和AP之间填充了阴影，该阴影可以视作潜在的支撑阻力带
Mobius - Trend Pivot// Mobius
// V01.01.29.2019
// Uses trend of higher highs with higher lows and trend of lower lows with lower highs to locate pivots. Distance for trend is set by the user. Confirmation of a reversal from pivots is set with a multiple of the pivot bars range. That multiple is also a user input.
// Trading Rules
// 1) Trade when price crosses and closes outside the pivot Confirmation line. At that point looking for best entry. Min trade is 2 contracts
// 2) Know your risk point before entering trade. Typical risk point is the pivot line itself. If your risk is crossed look for an exit. Never use hard stops - you'll often get out for little or no loss
// 3) Know your Risk off point before entering. Typical Risk Off is an ATR multiple. Offer Risk Off as soon as possible for a Risk Free trade
// 4) set mental stop one tick above entry when Risk Off is achieved
// 5) if trade continues your way move mental stop for your runner to last support / resistance each time a new support / resistance is hit.
The script is an indicator called "Mobius - Trend Pivot" and is designed to be overlaid on price charts. It utilizes a concept called "Mobius - Trend Pivot" to identify potential reversal points in the market based on the trend of higher highs with higher lows and lower lows with lower highs. The user can adjust the parameters through input variables. The script expects two inputs: "n" and "R_Mult." The "n" input determines the distance for trend calculation, and the "R_Mult" input is used for confirming a reversal from the pivots. The script calculates the True Range, which is the maximum of the current bar's high minus the previous bar's close or the previous bar's close minus the current bar's low. It then identifies the highest high (hh) and lowest low (ll) based on the trend criteria using the input variable "n." The script plots lines representing the pivot points, their confirmation levels, and risk-off levels. It also generates alerts when the price crosses above or below the confirmation or risk-off levels. Additionally, it plots shapes (arrows) on the chart to indicate bullish or bearish conditions based on the crossover or crossunder of the price with the pivot levels.
Volume Profile Regression Channel [LuxAlgo]The Volume Profile Regression Channel calculates a volume profile from an anchored linear regression channel. Users can choose the starting and ending points for the indicator calculation interval.
Like a regular volume profile, a "line" of control (LOC), value area, and a developing LOC are displayed.
🔶 SETTINGS
Sections: The number of sections the linear regression channel is divided into for the calculation of the volume profile.
Width %: Determines the length of the profile within the channel relative to the channel length.
Value Area %: Highlights the sections starting from the POC whose accumulated volume is equal to the user-defined percentage of the total profile sections volume.
🔶 USAGES
Regular volume profiles are often constructed from a horizontal price area, this can allow highlighting price areas where most trading activity takes place.
However, when price is strongly trending a classical volume profile can sometimes be more uniform. This is where using an angled volume profile can be useful.
The line of control allows highlighting the section of the channel with the most accumulated volume, this line can be used as a potential future support/resistance. This is where an angled volume profile might be the most useful.
The developing LOC highlights the LOC location at a specific time within the profile (from left to right) and can sometimes provide an estimate of the underlying trend in the price.
🔶 DETAILS
To be computed the script requires a left and right chart time coordinates. When adding the script to their charts users can determine the left and right time coordinates by clicking on the chart.
The linear regression channel width is determined so that the channel precisely encompasses the whole price.
🔶 LIMITATIONS
Using a very large calculation interval can return timeouts. Users can reduce the calculation interval to fix that issue from occurring.
The amount of drawing objects that can be used is limited, as such using a high calculation interval can display an incomplete profile.
🔶 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
If you are interested in these types of scripts, @HeWhoMustNotBeNamed published a similar script where users can use a custom line angle. See his 'Angled Volume Profile' script from March 2023.
RSI Exponential Smoothing (Expo)█ Background information
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) and the Exponential Moving Average (EMA) are two popular indicators. Traders use these indicators to understand market trends and predict future price changes. However, traders often wonder which indicator is better: RSI or EMA.
What if these indicators give similar results? To find out, we wanted to study the relationship between RSI and EMA. We focused on a hypothesis: when the RSI goes above 50, it might be similar to the price crossing above a certain length of EMA. Similarly, when the RSI goes below 50, it might be similar to the price crossing below a certain length of EMA.
Our goal was simple: to figure out if there is any connection between RSI and EMA.
Conclusion: Yes, it seems that there is a correlation between RSI and EMA, and this indicator clearly displays that relationship. Read more about the study here:
█ Overview of the indicator
The RSI Exponential Smoothing indicator displays RSI levels with clear overbought and oversold zones, shown as easy-to-understand moving averages, and the RSI 50 line as an EMA. Another excellent feature is the added FIB levels. To activate, open the settings and click on "FIB Bands." These levels act as short-term support and resistance levels which can be used for scalping.
█ Benefits of using this indicator instead of regular RSI
The findings about the Relative Strength Index (RSI) and the Exponential Moving Average (EMA) highlight that both indicators are equally accurate (when it comes to crossings), meaning traders can choose either one without compromising accuracy. This empowers traders to pick the indicator that suits their personal preferences and trading style.
█ How it works
Crossings over/under the value of 50
The EMA line in the indicator acts as the corresponding 50 line in the RSI. When the RSI crosses the value 50 equals when Close crosses the EMA line.
Bouncess from the value 50
In this example, we can see that the EMA line on the chart acts as support/resistance equals when RSI rejects the 50 level.
Overbought and Oversold
The indicator comes with overbought and oversold bands equal when RSI becomes overbought or oversold.
█ How to use
This visual representation helps traders to apply RSI strategies directly on the price chart, potentially making RSI trading easier for traders.

Log Distance From MA + RibbonTaken inspiration from @dkncrypto from his "Percentage Distance from MA" indicator.
I did a couple of very simple modifications.
I added exotic calculations so that it works properly in charts that reach the zero value (like the yield curve).
I also added a ribbon. It is now clearer when price is under resistance when compared to the deviation of it's trend.
The standard price ribbon describes support/resistance levels based on absolute vertical price distance.
The ribbon on the indicator I built describes support/resistance levels based around the trend of the price.
One could couple it with the KST-Based MACD indicator I built.
In my future analyses, I will consider skipping the standard price ribbon and consult the Distance-From-MA ribbon.
Tread lightly, for this is hallowed ground.

Breaker Blocks with Signals [LuxAlgo]The Breaker Blocks with Signals indicator aims to highlight a complete methodology based on breaker blocks. Breakout signals between the price and breaker blocks are highlighted and premium/discount swing levels are included to provide potential take profit/stop loss levels.
This script also includes alerts for each signal highlighted.
🔶 SETTINGS
🔹 Breaker Blocks
Length: Sensitivity of the detected swings used to construct breaker blocks. Higher values will return longer term breaker blocks.
Use only candle body: Only use the candle body when determining the maximum/minimum extremities of the order blocks.
Use 2 candles instead of 1: Use two candles to confirm the occurrence of a breaker block.
Stop at first break of center line: Do not highlight breakout signals after invalidation until reset.
🔹 PD Array
Only when E is in premium/discount zone: Only set breaker block if point E of wave ABCDE is within the corresponding zone.
Show premium discount zone: Show premium/discount zone.
Highlight Swing Break: Highlight occurrences of price breaking a previous swing level.
Show Swings/PD Arrays: Show swing levels/labels and pd areas.
🔶 USAGE
The Breaker Blocks with Signals indicator aims to provide users with a minimalistic display alongside optimal signals to be aware of for finding trade setups as shown below.
Here we can see a MSS occurred allowing the indicator to detect a Breaker Block (-BB) & display a red arrow to confirm this signal.
The signal(s) that can be used for potential entries are only during retests of the breaker blocks.
A potential strategy traders could use with this indicator is to target the corresponding Discount PD Arrays detected (for a short position) and Premium PD Arrays (for a long position).
In the image above we can see price generated the potential entry signals in orange & fell to the Discount PD Arrays as a logical setup to look for with this indicator.
As we can see in the image above, signals can be considered invalid when price closes above the 50% level in which it would be suggested to wait for another setup.
Users still looking for more potential setups based on the same breaker block can disable the "Stop at first break of center line" setting within the settings menu.
In the image above we can see a bullish example whereas price confirmed a bullish breaker block (+BB), had a quick pullback into it that was confirmed by the green arrow, and then reached the Premium PD Arrays.
While retests of breaker blocks can still function well if they occur later in the price action, it's most preferable for users to look for entry signals that are near confirmed breaker blocks (5-10 bars) opposed to waiting 20+ bars.
Additional take profits based on the occurence of the breaker blocks are given in order to provide targets after the occurence of a breaker block breakout.
🔶 DETAILS
Breaker blocks are formed after a mitigated order block, these can provide change of polarity opportunities, thus playing a role as a potential support/resistance. It is the re-test/retrace of price to a breaker block that will set the conditions to provide signals.
The above chart describes the creation of a breaker block.
The signal generation logic makes use of various rules described below:
Bullish Breaker Blocks:
opening price is within the breaker block, while the closing price is above the upper extremity of the breaker block.
Price did not cross the breaker block average in the interval since the previous breakout.
Bearish Breaker Blocks:
opening price is within the breaker block, while the closing price is below the lower extremity of the breaker block.
Price did not cross the breaker block average in the interval since the previous breakout.
When a new pattern is formed, all previous drawings are removed.

Vector CandlesTitle: Vector Candles Indicator with PVSRA
Short Description: Visualize climax and above-average volume candles using PVSRA method for trend reversals and significant moves.
Long Description:
The Vector Candles Indicator with PVSRA (Price, Volume, Support, and Resistance Analysis) is designed to help traders visualize climax and above-average volume candles on the chart, which can indicate potential trend reversals and significant market moves. This indicator is suitable for various financial instruments, including stocks, forex, and cryptocurrencies.
This script uses the PVSRA method to determine the candle colour based on volume and price action. By analysing the relationships between price, volume, and support/resistance levels, it allows traders to better understand the market dynamics and make informed decisions.
The indicator displays candles in different colours to represent the volume and price action:
Climax Up (Lime): Bullish candle with high volume
Climax Down (Red): Bearish candle with high volume
Above Average Up (Blue): Bullish candle with above-average volume
Above Average Down (Fuchsia): Bearish candle with above-average volume
Normal Up (Gray): Bullish candle with normal volume
Normal Down (Dark Gray): Bearish candle with normal volume
The script is designed to work on the TradingView platform and is based on original contributions by plasmapug, infernix, peshocore, and xtech5192. It has been modified RapidFireOG for easy integration into your trading setup.
Add this powerful tool to your chart and enhance your trading analysis with the Vector Candles Indicator with PVSRA.
Extended Session High/Low - Intraday and daily chartsThis script plots the extended session highest high and lowest low levels. It works on any time frame from 1 minute to daily.
Please note that during the extended session, TradingView stops updating the daily chart. This means that once the script is loaded on a daily chart, it will not be updated until the market opens, unless you manually reload the layout (Ctrl+R). For this reason, it is recommended to use a multi-timeframe layout, so when the pre/post market line is near the extended session high/low on the daily chart, you can compare these values with those on an intraday chart of the same ticker.
The extended session high/low are important for day traders because they represent the maximum and minimum limits within which the trades have taken place during the extended trading hours. This can make them levels of support/resistance that can be useful for planning trend following, reversal and range-bound strategies.
By displaying the extended session high/low on the daily chart, traders can also see if there are any significant levels nearby that are related to the daily time frame, such as trendlines, support/resistance levels, or moving averages. This can help the trader evaluate whether there is enough room for a price movement in the direction of his trading strategy.
Volatility Percentile (H-LINES)A simple script that adjusts the Volatility Percentile Indicator visibly in order to better accommodate entries/exits and certain trading setups/strategies.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TL;DR - Remember after a full reset, we are looking for initial crosses UP on the UpperSwingline and crosses DOWN on the LowerSwingline for primary and secondary signal derivation.
Vice versa also works great but the prior method mentioned is a little more consistent in my experience, but you should mess around and optimise this for your own setups and strategies anyway.

HOW I USE MY VISUALLY ALTERED VERSION OF THIS SCRIPT
First of all, the alterations I've made seem only to be consistently viable with renko charts though if you can get the sought after results using candles or any other chart type then perfect, but be wary. All my back-testing done only with LinReg, HMA and SWMA - ATR type settings exclusively on renko charts. The changes I've made to the original script essentially just turns it visibly into an oscillator and uses a couple horizontal lines to generate signals, very simple - absolutely nothing has changed in the actual code of calculating this indicator.
What I believe my adjustments have achieved is quite simple. A full reset/oscillation on the indicator tries to map the strongest parts of a move or at least the part of the move where volume and the rate of transactions is at its peak to even facilitate said move. *take this statement with a pinch of salt though I do believe it's interacting with accumulation/distribution patterns, which is expected of volatility*
For ease of communication let's refer to the area between the the first UpperSwingline cross to the subsequent LowerSwingline cross, as the primary move. Then afterwards when it crosses the UpperSwingline again to make the full reset, the area in between those two points referred to as the secondary move.
Though more interestingly/practically the indicator ends up giving you two signals. In order for this to work we have to first decide that a spike up in volatility which crosses the UpperSwingline implies a significant level of interest at that price level. Usually that means a reversal is brewing, if price has already moved, trended and is approaching a certain area of value; which causes a spike of new positions to be taken, then you know that this is a level where contrarians are looking to enter. Now here's the tricky part, when volatility crosses the LowerSwingline price action becomes a little more open for interpretation, the way I personally like to look at this secondary signal is the potential for an exhaustion period to prolong itself a little longer. I know that's not the perfect analysis for what's going on, a more in-depth look into what's going on would best be described using Elliott Wave Theory, if a cross on the UpperSwingline near a significant area of value gives us a reversal trade lets just assume for the sake of argument that a new Elliott Wave can begin forming here. Making the move from that initial UpperSwngline cross to the cross on the LowerSwingline, the area that encompasses those two points: the impulse wave. After this point my analogy kind of falls apart and sadly my knowledge just isn't what it needs to be in order for me to properly analyse what's going on here but I must digress. Price after crossing the LowerSwingline up until the point where it makes a full reset by crossing the UpperSwingline again, within this area price seems to do either one of two things:
Situation 1 - Most likely occurs after a major trend reversal from major support/resistance or area of value (price has trended to new territory, maybe spent time a little time consolidating but hasn't broken the key level, momentum shifts, price action breaks current structure and you get the signal that primary move is a reversal) = Exhaustion Period, price will continue in direction of primary move during the secondary move. This here is for our trend-followers, you wanna take a continuation trade? Just wait for the pullback/rally to hit a FiB retracement level and enter - or any other means to find a decent support/resistance to enter.
Situation 2 - Most likely occurs when market enters a range or consolidation (price was previously seen as being at either a discount or premium so Situation 1 could have already played out and now you're looking at a full reset after that, imagine this spot to be the centre line of a linear regression channel or bang in the middle of your range, could even occur if price breaks a key moving average and decides it ought to consolidate around it for a while. Basically at any point where a somewhat prolonged consolidation is expected and not a quick reversal) = Corrective Wave, price will move against the direction of primary move during the secondary move. Now you might be expecting me to say this ones for you reversal traders but not really, if this is occurring then there probably isn't a definitive direction the market has chosen so you can use this opportunity to take range trades in the direction or against the direction of whatever the current trend or latest trend was depending on whatever slight bias you may have. <--- Situation 2 is very useful for finding cleaner entries if you do have a trend bias, say price underwent Situation 1, is now at key moving average but your bias is that it will break and continue up, so you wait and allow the secondary move of Situation 2 to take your entry to a much better R:R before entering a position.

Three Bar Gap (Simple Price Action - with 1 line plot)This script is tailored towards experienced traders who prefer to view raw price charts during live execution. It searches for a three-bar pattern of what is colloquially called "fair value gap", or "imbalance" and uses a single line to plot the results. The goal is to display price in a way that is as simple as possible so that chart readers who don't prefer to add indicators on their screen will still find this indicator as an acceptable option to consider for.
From a code perspective, this script explores a new PineScript feature called UDT (user-defined types). This is an incredible update because it brings developers one step close to having the ability to create abstract data types.
█ What is price action?
Experienced traders will tell you that the chart that they use for live execution is raw, clean, and uses no indicators. They say they execute on price action, so what exactly is price action?
There is no formal definition to it, but one can agree that it implies the process of analyzing price without considering the fundamentals, without needing to know what the news was about, and without needing to know any of the Greeks (except for the desire to “seek alpha” Ha.haa...). This is not to say that price action traders are executing in their own vacuums without the need to know what is happening around the world. Surely fundamentals and financial models can be used beforehand for developing a bias for what is being traded, but it’s price-first at the moment of execution. That said, Factor (A) is Price.
Factor (B) is time-perception, it’s how the trader reads the tape. How the trader perceives price to change with respect to time is valuable information. Interpretation of "time" will be elaborated in the next section that talks about candlestick patterns detected by this script.
Putting this together, price action means the analysis of price movement by only considering (A) price, and (B) time, to predict which direction the market will move. A speculative trader is timing the market with the expectation to make a quick in-and-out profit; she/she is using price action. On the other hand, a long term investor holding a diversified portfolio with a strategy based on modern portfolio theory combined with fundamental analysis (at this point candlesticks are irrelevant) but has one additional criteria of, say, can only go Long on a stock when it has closed Green on Daily; he/she is also considered to be executing on price action.
█ Candlestick patterns
This script calculates the displacement of highs and lows over three consecutive bars.
A) Down move = When High of the recent confirmed bar is lower than the Low of the previous-previous candle
B) Up move = When Low of the recent confirmed bar is higher than the High of the previous-previous candle
(Note that its the confirmed bar that is being talked about, so it does not repaint)
An ATR filter will be applied to reduce the number of lines generated as many times they might just be associated with minor price changes.
Interpretations:
When price moves quickly across three bars, it can be thought that it has gapped. Although the candle in the middle appears to be solid, it’s not from a conceptual perspective. This is because time itself is arbitrary; timeframes don’t necessarily have to be fixed intervals. Take stocks with regular trading hours for example, if price makes a breakaway gap and you bundle the after-hours and pre-market sessions together as one candle, never minding that intervals should be fixed, then you will see the exact three-bar-gap patterns. Similar happens during intraday sessions on lower timeframes, if you zoom-in closer, you’ll see that ticks within the middle candle are sparsely dispersed. This is why it's called a gap.
█ Parameters with fixed inputs & assumptions used:
ATR is used for filtering out minor movements that will likely be deemed as irrelevant by trader for the purpose of live execution. The following inputs are required:
A) ATR lookback period
B) Multiplier
The product of ATR(len=A) and B produces a threshold for minimum distance that price must gap by. Initially, it was proposed to be only based on one ATR, but often an ATR is too wide and using it will filter out too many lines. Because of this observation, a multiplier (Parameter B) has been introduced to allow users to apply fractional ATR as a threshold.
█ Applications:
For trend followers: Follow the direction of the gap. Entering above recent high/low points above/below the first impulse with a stop-limit order is a viable tactic.
For contrarians fading a trend: The mid-point is a good point of reference for predicting potential areas of support/resistance.
Fibonacci Step IndicatorThe Fibonacci Step Indicator assumes irregularity in calculating a moving average. It is measured as the mean of the previous lows and highs situated at Fibonacci past periods. For example, the mean of the lows from 2, 3, 5, 8, etc. periods ago form the Fibonacci step indicator.
The indicator uses the formula for the first twelve Fibonacci numbers on highs and lows so that it creates a moving support/resistance zone. Afterwards, the zone is stabilized by taking the highest highs of the upper indicator and the lowest lows of the lower indicator part.
The indicator is used as a trend following way. It can be compared to the Ichimoku Kinko Hyo cloud (without the future projection). The zone form a support and resistance area. During ranging periods, the market will fluctuate within the area which is a bad time to follow the trend (if any).
FOREX MASTER PATTERN Value Lines by nnamThe Forex Master Pattern is form of technical analysis that provides a framework for spotting hidden price patterns that reveal the true movement of the market. The Forex Master Pattern Value Lines Indicator helps to identify this Phase 1 contraction of the Forex Master Pattern cycle.
HOW THIS INDICATOR WORKS
This indicator looks for a sustained contraction in price initially indicated by TWO contraction bars in a row, thus detecting a contraction point and a potential new master pattern origin point.
Once a contraction point is detected, a blue box will appear on the chart with a thick solid blue line projecting from its center. These are potential "Points of Origin" and "Value Lines" that institutional traders use to balance their books.
As shown above, when price begins to move (detected by engulfing and/or expansion candles), an Arrow is plotted to the chart identifying a possible expansion.
As shown above, previous Value Lines typically serve as future support / resistance points, however, due to the unique location of these lines, they are not typically identified as support or resistance levels on standard S/R indicators.
Color Coded Candles assist the user in quickly identifying contraction and expansion areas as well as trends away from the value-line. The expansion candles, Up/Down candles, and contraction BARS are all inspired by the STRAT (Rob Smith) and are specifically incorporated into this indicator to assist the user in finding potential reversals during the expansion phase. This helps to avoid the whiplash typically associated with the first phase of Forex Master Pattern.

Z-Score Buy and Sell SignalsHello everyone!
Happy Holidays, Merry/Happy Christmas!
Here is my Christmas gift to you to show my appreciation of your support and engagement over the past year!
This is the Z-Score Buy and Sell Signal indicator!
How it works:
It works by looking at the Z-Score of an equities close price and looking for previous areas over reversals over the defined period of time.
It also looks at areas that are overbought or oversold (manifested by Z-Scores greater than or less than 2 Standard Deviations away) and displays them as bar colour changes.
Historic reversals are signaled with buy and/or sell signals.
Oversold is signaled with a green bar colour change (colour can be customaized).
Overbought is signaled with an orange bar colour change.
How to use it:
You can use it with support resistance or other indicators. You can use this on both the larger and small timeframes, depending on the style of trader you are.
You can modify the input length to look back on shorter or longer periods.
As a general rule from my experience using it, if you are using the shorter timeframes (i.e. 1 minute tfs), its best to look back between 50 and 75 candles for most equities.
If you are looking at the larger timeframes (i.e. Daily, 1 to 2 hour, etc.) its best to set the input value to between 500 to 800.
But, as always, you should check to ensure the indicator is providing correct signals by reviewing the previous signals to ensure that they adequate identified reversals.
It is also best not to use this alone as your sole indicator. It is meant to be supplementary to other indicators/support resistance/chart patterns you are using to guide your trades. This will not replace good TA and a good understand of the stock and its likely trajectory.
As always, please feel free to share your comments/feedback/questions and recommendations below.
As always, I do customary tutorial videos for my indicators, so please see below for an in-depth video tutorial should you want to see it in action:
Otherwise, happy holidays everyone! And all of the best over this Christmas weekend to you and your loved ones!
Fixed Fibonacci Support ResistanceI took the formula of the fibonacci from LonesomeTheBlue and made this script. You can take a look at his indicator here:
When you first add the indicator on the chart, click on the chart to select the first date and then the second date. It will then calculate the fibonacci support and resistance of the range you choose. You can also choose the date inside the inputs.
Be sure the first date is before the second date, otherwise it won't be able to show the fibonacci. If that happen, choose a correct date in the inputs.
Donchian Trendline - Support Resistance Slope [UhoKang]// This is a strategy that draws a trend line in the form of a slope whenever the high point and low point are updated.
// The upper slope serves as a resistance line, and the lower slope serves as a support line.
// Buy when the of the candle crosses the slope
HH-LL ZZAnother ZigZag, yes...
I believe though this concerns another angle/principle, therefore I wanted to share
How does it work?
Given:
source for level breach -> close
X breaches -> 3
Let's say this is the latest found 'lower low' (LL - blue dot under bar):
This bar has been triggered because 3 bars closed under low of previous 'trigger bar' (TB )
The high and low of this new TB will act as triggers
(aqua blue lines, seen in image above)
Then there are 2 options:
- again 3 bars closes under the latest TB , in that case the TB moves to that new LL.
- 3 bars closes higher than the high of previous TB
The high and low of this new TB act again as trigger
If a new TB LL/HH is found, the script checks previous LL/HH
and searches the highest/lowest point in between.
If necessary, the temporary highest/lowest will be adjusted:
Another example:
The last 2 points can change (repaint).
Yellow coloured lines/labels are set and won't change anymore.
Concluded:
In case of these settings:
source for level breach -> close
X breaches -> 3
once a new TB is found, the high and low act as trigger lines
- when 3 bars closes under that low , a new LL is found, this will be the new TB
- when 3 bars closes above that high , a new HH is found, this will be the new TB
and so on...
Settings:
source for level breach -> close or high/low - H/L
X breaches -> 1 -> 10
line style -> solid, dotted, dashed
show level breaches -> new found TB (blue/lime coloured)
show Support/Resistance (lines at the right)
repaint warning can be removed
show labels / lines
This ZZ can be used for Harmonic patterns, Trend evaluation, support/resistance,...
In this script, I also used new features
- text_font_family = font.family_monospace -> link
- display=display.pane -> link
Cheers!
(E)Moving Average Ribbon High/LowThis is a slight modification of the standard Moving Average Ribbon. This script will take the 200 EMA and SMA with source the high and low, not the close.
This band will act as a support and resistance zone and should be used as a confluence with other indicators or support/resistance lines.
I got inspired to create this one, by the YT video "FINALLY! The 200 EMA Confluence Trading Strategy You’ve Been Waiting For" by The Secret Mindset.
In his video he takes only the 200EMA, but this script will take by default also the SMA into account.
In the settings you still can adapt as you wish ;-)
Happy trading!
