Parallel Pivot Lines [LuxAlgo]Displays lines connecting past pivot high/low points with each line having the slope of a linear regression. This slope can also be controlled by the user with the 'Slope' setting. Each line can be used as a support or resistance by the user.
Settings
Length : Pivot length. Use higher values for having lines connected to more significant pivots points.
Lookback : Number of lines connecting a pivot high/low to display, with a total of lines equal to Lookback*2
Slope : Allows the user to multiply the linear regression slope by a number within -1 and 1
Limitations
The script has currently several real time behavior limitations. Lines are displayed retrospectively and will not update with the arrival of new bars. Readjusting the indicator to newer pivots will require the user to either hide/unhide the indicator or change its settings.
High Length or Lookback values might not return any lines if the location of a pivot point is outside the defined buffer size of the indicator (set as 5000 bars).
How To Use
The indicator can be used to get supports and resistances and is more so closer to a drawing tool due to its limitations. The lines not updating with the arrival of new bars have the advantage of providing fixed supports/resistances.
The Slope setting allows the user to control the angle and direction of the lines. Using a Slope of 1 will return lines with the same slope as the one of a linear regression fit from the farthest pivot point displayed by the indicator to the most recent bar.
The chart above shows the indicators and a linear regression in orange.
If you want to have horizontal lines, use a Slope equal to 0.
Finally using a negative slope value will allow the user to have lines in opposite directions to the main trend.
Conclusion
We hope you like this indicator (drawing tool) and find it useful for drawing your support & resistances in a unique way!

PRIME - ShadoW ZoneZ with RSI LevelsIn This experimental study, we've taken RSI data, Volume Profile, and Trend analysis, combining them into one unique package that will allow a trader to analyze market trend lines and their proposed channels, trend momentum through candle color augmentation similar to "Pulse", and Visible Volume index price levels on chart for the current sequence. Below are explanations of each function within the system.
The Semafor is used to spot future multi-level Supports and Resistance zones.
It is also useful to spot HL or LL or HH or LH zones at different Depth settings.
The red zones are the extreme places where the market has a higher chance of reversing while the green zones have the lowest setting with lower chances of the market reversal
Automatic Trend Lines
The indicator takes in 2 timeframes to detect High and Low values from which to draw the trend lines of each timeframe.
As the values change with price movement, the lines are updated. They are color coded for uptrend and downtrend based on the direction of each individual line. Trend lines can be set up to color with only the default value on the configurations panel.
- Toggle on/off Color Coded
- Change Default, Uptrend, Downtrend color
- Change Line Width
- Change Line Style
- Toggle on/off Line Extensions
- Change Extended Line Width
- Change Extended Line Style
- Toggle On/Off labels for 7 data points of each timeframe
Automatic Trend Sights
This is a neat feature that may help you get a better feel for the direction the current movement is heading towards in correlation with the short or medium length timeframe trends. The sight draws a line from the middle vertical point of the trend coordinates towards the current price. They are toggled off by default but can be enabled in the configurations panel.
- Toggle on/off sight on each timeframe
- Change Width
- Change Line Style
Support & Resistance Levels, the main aim of the study. Level calculations are based on Relative Strength Index ( RSI ) threshold levels of oversold/overbought and bull/bear zones, where all threshold values are customizable through the user dialog box. Background of the levels can be colored optionally.
RSI Weighted Colored Bars and/or Mark Overbought/Oversold Bars , Bar colors can be painted to better emphasis RSI values. Darker colors when the oscillator is in oversold/overbought zones, light colors when oscillator readings are below/above the bull/bear zone respectively, and remain unchanged otherwise. Besides the colors, with “Display RSI Overbought/Oversold Price Bars” option little triangle shapes can be plotted on top or bottom of the bars when RSI is in oversold/overbought zones .

Gunzo Market SRGunzo Market SR is a set of 3 tools combined for trend analysis on day trading strategy.
VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price) :
The VWAP indicator is generally used for trend analysis. For example if the VWAP line is under the closing price for a long period of time, the trend is strong. In this script, the VWAP has been optimized for day trading as the indicator is calculated inside the daily range, and resets when a new day starts. This way the indicator reflects the daily trend and not the overall trend. You can also use the position of closing price according to the VWAP to find optimal entry points according to the indicator.
Highs / Lows :
The Highs / Lows are generally used for trend analysis too. The High / Lows are mainly used to identify prices that have been key during the past and that we can use as an indication for the following candles. In this script, the Highs / Lows are computed on the daily period and then displayed on the current period (recommended to use on a daily period or lower). This way the indicator reflects the highest point and the lowest point of the day (can be modified to have a longer range of pivot days even if I recommend to stay on 1 day for day trading).
Support / Resistance :
The Support / Resistance is generally used for trend analysis too. The Support / Resistance are found by searching local high and lows. The longer the supports and resistance are, the strongest it can be considered. In this script, the Highs / Lows are computed by default on a lower time frame (usually 3-4 times lower). For example on a 15 minute graph, the Highs / Lows will be computed on the 5 minute graph (can be modified if the displayed result is not optimized for your asset).
How to use this set of tools :
I personally recommend to use this tool at the start of your day of trading. This way you will get a clear vision of the daily situation and try to identify key prices and the trend for the current day. I then suggest to set up an alert on the key price to be notified when you're getting close to it.
Keltner FibzonesKeltner Channel with Fibonacci Zones which uses properties of a Donchian Channel.
This script is a variation of the Fibonacci Zone script and the Donchian Fibonacci Trading Tool which I published earlier. A Keltner Channel gives more useful information to the trader than a Donchian Channel, because it provides a depiction of “normal range” and shows “outside normalcy” situations. Fibonacci lines provide a way to see if the market is trending up or down, while moving inside the channel, because in cases where the Fibonacci lines function as resistance, the trend is down, whereas when these turn out to be supports the trend is up.
Example of use:
If after a rally up - in which candles moves outside the channel - these return into the channel, this means a “new normal”. If the fibs turn out to give support, one may assume that this is a temporary sideways movement in which a flag is formed, after which following rally up may happen. With rally down the opposite is true. Top and bottom situations show a change in the way the market uses the fiblines.
The middle line of the Donchian Channel is used as the middle line of the Keltner channel, in stead of the sma in the classic channel. Default for calculation is 2 x Average True Range above and below this line. Default for the periods of the channel is 20 periods, because this allows the candles to go outside the channel. If you shorten this, all happens inside the channel.
[ST] S/R density study v3This algorithm draws supports/resistance levels automatically based on historic candle density at each height. The basic idea is the levels where price is rejected quickly is likely to have fewer candles in the past than the levels above and below. This does not take volume into account. The lookback and number of levels has to be kept low to prevent too many calculations. I haven't looked if there's new pinescript features to let me do this more efficiently yet.
It checks for candle density to decrease once or twice and then increase once or twice before it draws a line at that lowest level. There's an option to draw more lines by only checking for a single decrease and increase.
It likely won't catch all the levels but it seems to get a good amount to help me position stops on other side of S/R or exits on the trade side of S/R.
I've been meaning to share more scripts but keep forgetting. Keeping my scripts free but feel free to like or tip haha.
MTF VWAP + Fibo Incremental deviationsI made a Fibo variant of my first script "VWAPs + devs" :
This new indicator give you the possibility to plot multi timeframes VWAP (D, W, M, 3M and 12M ) and Fibo deviations for each one.
VWAP is a powerfull indicator which is used by big players to get informations if the price is "overbought" or "oversold". Deviations give the opportunity to have supports and resistances in those "over"-zones.
I searched for better results and found those defaults values :
Fib 1 level : 0.618
Fib 2 level : 0.786
Fib 3 level : 1.000
Fib 4 level : 1.618
Fib 5 level : 2.618
In the thumbnail, we can see that the 1.618 deviation level made a great support on the last uptrend for BTCUSDT .
You can change each values but low ones as 0.382 and 0.5 don't give really interesting supports/resistances.
I made this script as clear and simple as possible with only one menu in the parameters.
Some examples of what you can do :
BTCUSDT (Binance) H4 / D, W, M, 3M ,12M VWAP without devs
BTCUSDT (Binance) M5 / Daily VWAP + Fibo devs
Hope this will be useful for you !
ASFX EMAs, ADR, Asian Range, and Pivot PointsThis indicator combines the essential indicators that ASFX traders use, including the EMAs (8, 21, 50, 200, 800), the Average Daily Range, the Asian Range, and the Pivot Points.
The EMAs should be used as dynamic supports and resistances. We could use it to find entries like when there is a bullish engulfing coming off the 21 EMA.
The Average Daily Range tells us the how many pips the pair moves on average. We could use it to measure risk/reward ratios or see it as another resistance.
The Asian Range is displayed as two lines indicating the Asian Session's High and Low. This could help us to determine whether the pair is ready for a breakout. We might avoid setups that are still in the Asian Range as the pair might still be indecisive.
The Pivot Points are also another form of support and resistance which are calculated using the previous day's data. The Pivot Points displayed in this indicator only include the Pivot, R1, R2, R3, S1, S2, S3. (R4, R5, S4, S5 are not included)
All of these indicators should give us a read of the trend. If the EMAs are beautifully fanned out with the 8 EMA on the top and the 800 EMA on the bottom and the price is above the Asian Range and the Pivot, we might keep an eye for a long entry.
Williams Fractals with Alerts by MrTuanDoanCustom William Fractals for alerts and educational purpose.
Added custom alerts for Williams Fractals.
Also added filter to show less fractals on chart.
The simple idea how I use fractals in Binary Option is to determine temporary resistance and support.
Simple strategy:
- Mark Resistance/Support on higher time frame (e.g. 5M)
- Set an alert for new fractal
- Whenever a new fractal that appears close to your marked Resistance/Support, go to lower time frame (e.g. 1M)
- Wait for rejection at the level that lower than new down fractal (or higher than new up fractal).
- Enter with the same expiry of lower time frame.
Good luck and happy trading. :-)
MESA Adaptive Moving Average - Improved MTFThis indicator is a huge upgrade to my original MTF MESA
Plots are now extremely smooth and accurate on all timeframes **
Missing data points are automatically filled with the "best fit"
This is a Trend indicator and should be used to trade "top-down" aka:
Start with the Daily chart to confirm a trend
Move to 4H
2H
Etc...
Use your favorite entry method or simply watch for wicks forming when the price gets near the MESA adaptive moving average.
This is one of the few indicators that I've been using for years with success. Being able to plot both the current & higher timeframe MESA
can sometimes feel like cheating.
Due to the nature of the recursive calculation, you may notice slight differences between this version of MESA and others that either
approximate higher timeframes with fewer samples or make use of the latest "Resolution" argument in Pinescript V4. Both of which are
fine, until you start looking at M5 charts while plotting the Daily MESA.
As always, happy trading!

Pivot LinesThis indicator provides possible short, medium, and long-term support and resistance levels based on recent highs and lows. The furthest the level is, the thicker its line is, making it easy to spot stronger levels where 2 lines overlap. It can be configured to use open/close values instead of high/low for tighter levels.
Default settings:
- Short Period: 20
- Medium Period: 50
- Long Period: 100
This script also provides alerts for when the price crosses over/under a given level or pulls back.
Note: It sometimes displays supports above the price and resistances below it, I still have to figure out why (and fix it if possible), but it's still useful.
Strategy MACD vs BBStrategy based on MACD and Bollinger Bands, where BBs are calculatend from macd signal.
Strategy doesn't open at breakout of bands but it waits for a pullback.
Upper and lower bands are used as resistance and support.
There are various parameters that can be optimized.
I have also a study with alerts.
Please use comment section for any feedback or cointact me if you need support.
strategy of RSI with trendlines and S/RBefore I go through this chart I want to acknowledge the great programmers who spent much of their time and effort to assist many TV users and traders.
Thank you to LunaOwl for the RSI American lines her script made me realize the need to have trendlines, supports, and resistance on RSI charts.
Also, a copy of Lij_MC code from was taken which had been credited to Duyck. Thank you Duyck.
The BB was copied from morpheus747
As I researched different strategies one strategy seemed to assist the trader for entry and exits. It was the combination of Support and resistance on the RSI. In addition, diagonal lines (Recently introduced in pine script V4) assists in the direction and reversals that may occur. What is supplied is only a graphical representation and no trade entry or exit points are selected.
On the chart you can use;
• RSI line or bar;
• Bollinger High / Low support line;
• Diagonal trend lines. A primary and a secondary group of trendlines; and
• Trendline candle highlighter.
I am hoping people with great skills could assist to develop this to the next level.
I hope this graphical strategy may help until further development. Enjoy.

Hyperfork Matrix🔱 Hyperfork Matrix 🔱 A manual Andrews Pitchfork tool with action/reaction propagation lines and lattice matrix functionality. This indicator extends Dr. Alan Andrews' and Patrick Mikula's median line methodology by automating the projection of reaction and action lines at equidistant intervals, creating a time-price grid that highlights where pivot levels intersect the matrix.
Three pitchfork variants are supported: Original, Schiff, and Modified Schiff. Each variant adjusts the anchor point position to accommodate different trend angles.
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
█ THE METHOD
Andrews Pitchfork
Dr. Alan Andrews developed the pitchfork as a trend channel tool. The core principle: price tends to return to the median line roughly 80% of the time. When it fails to reach the median, a reversal may be developing.
A pitchfork requires three pivot points:
• Point A — The anchor (starting pivot)
• Point B — First swing in the opposite direction
• Point C — Second swing, same direction as A
The median line runs from Point A through the midpoint of B-C. Parallel lines through B and C form the channel boundaries.
Action/Reaction Principle
Based on Newton's third law ("action and reaction are equal and opposite"), this principle suggests that price movements elicit proportional reactions in the future. By projecting lines at equal intervals along the pitchfork's slope, we anticipate where these reactions may occur.
Lattice Matrix
The lattice squares pivot price levels to the matrix structure. A horizontal from your selected pivot intersects the pitchfork and propagation lines, with verticals drawn at each intersection. These verticals mark time points where price-time geometry converges—potential areas to watch for trend changes.
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
█ HOW THE INDICATOR WORKS
This section explains the calculation flow from your inputs to the final drawing.
Step 1 — Pivot Selection
You click on the chart to select three timestamps. The indicator retrieves the high or low price at each timestamp based on your starting pivot type selection:
• Starting with "Low" creates a Low-High-Low pattern
• Starting with "High" creates a High-Low-High pattern
Step 2 — Anchor Calculation
The anchor position depends on your pitchfork variant:
• Original — Anchor stays at Point A
• Schiff — Anchor shifts 50% toward B in price (Y-axis only)
• Modified Schiff — Anchor shifts 50% toward B in both time and price
Step 3 — Median Line
A line is drawn from the anchor through the midpoint of the B-C segment. This median line defines the channel's slope and center.
Step 4 — Parallel Tines
Parallel lines are drawn through Points B and C, maintaining the median line's slope. These form the upper and lower channel boundaries.
Step 5 — Extra Parallels
If configured, additional parallel lines are drawn at equal spacing beyond B and C. The spacing equals the distance from the median to each tine.
Step 6 — Handle Length
The "handle" is the segment from the anchor to the B-C midpoint. This length becomes the unit of measurement for propagation.
Step 7 — Propagation Points
Points are placed along the median line at handle-length intervals:
• Forward points extend into the future
• Backward points extend into the past
Step 8 — Reaction Lines
Through each propagation point, a line is drawn parallel to B-C (the transversal slope). These reaction lines mark time-price zones based on the original swing rhythm, where trend changes may occur.
Step 9 — Action Lines
Through each propagation point, a line is drawn parallel to A-B (the initial move slope). These action lines project the original momentum into future price zones.
Step 10 — Lattice Grid
If enabled, a horizontal line is drawn at the price level of your selected pivot. Vertical lines are then drawn at every intersection between this horizontal and the selected line type (pitchfork, reaction, or action lines).
Step 11 — Alert Monitoring
On each bar, the indicator checks if the price has crossed any of the drawn lines. Crossings trigger alerts based on your configuration.
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
█ PITCHFORK VARIANTS
Original (Andrews)
The classic pitchfork. The anchor remains at Point A. Best suited for strong trending markets where price respects steep channels.
Schiff
Named after Jerome Schiff, a student of Andrews. The anchor shifts halfway toward Point B in price only—same time position as A, but price is the midpoint of A and B.
This produces a less steep channel, better suited for:
• Shallow trends
• Corrective phases
• Markets where the original pitchfork angle is too aggressive
Modified Schiff
The anchor shifts halfway toward Point B in both time and price—positioned at the midpoint of the A-B segment.
This creates an even gentler slope than the standard Schiff variant. Use when:
• Trends are weak or ranging
• Price doesn't respect steeper channel angles
• You need a middle ground between Original and Schiff
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
█ ACTION & REACTION LINES
Reaction Lines
These run parallel to the B-C segment (the "transversal"). They represent the market's response rhythm—the swing from B to C sets a pattern that may repeat at predictable intervals.
Action Lines
These run parallel to the A-B segment (the initial impulse). They project the original momentum forward, suggesting where similar price movements may begin or end.
Forward vs Backward
• Forward Lines — Project into the future beyond the B-C midpoint
• Backward Lines — Project into the past before Point A
Most analysis focuses on forward lines, but backward lines can reveal historical confluence with past pivots.
Propagation Spacing
Lines are spaced at equal intervals defined by the handle length (anchor to B-C midpoint). This creates a rhythmic structure where each segment equals the original pitchfork's core measurement.
Action Lines
Reaction Lines
Extra Parallels with/ both Action & Reactions Line extended within the grid
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
█ LATTICE MATRIX
The lattice creates a grid overlay within the pitchfork structure.
Horizontal Line
A horizontal line is drawn at the price level of your selected pivot (A, B, or C). This squares the pivot's price level to find where it aligns with the matrix structure. These confluences may represent higher-probability reaction points in time.
Vertical Lines
Vertical lines are drawn at every point where the horizontal intersects your selected line source. These verticals mark time points—potential areas to watch for trend changes.
• Pitchfork & Parallels — Intersections with median and all parallel tines
• Action Lines — Intersections with action transversals
• Reaction Lines — Intersections with reaction transversals
• Action & Reaction — Both types combined
Envelope Clamping
Lattice lines are automatically clamped to stay within the pitchfork's channel envelope (bounded by the outermost parallels). This keeps the grid visually clean and focused on relevant areas.
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
█ ALERTS
The indicator monitors price crossings and triggers alerts when the price moves through any drawn line type.
Available Alert Types
• Pitchfork Lines — Crossing the median or any parallel
• Action Lines — Crossing any action transversal (when action lines are drawn)
• Reaction Lines — Crossing any reaction transversal (when reaction lines are drawn)
• Lattice Horizontal — Crossing the horizontal price level (when lattice is enabled)
• Any Line Crossing — Combined alert for all of the above
Setting Up Alerts
1. Right-click on the indicator or use the alert menu
2. Select "Create Alert."
3. Choose the desired condition from the dropdown
4. Configure notification preferences (pop-up, email, webhook, etc.)
Alert Timing
Alerts trigger once per bar close when a crossing is detected between the previous and current bar's close prices.
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
█ HOW TO USE
Basic Setup
1. Add the indicator to your chart
2. When prompted, click on three pivot points in sequence: A, B, C
3. Choose starting pivot type: Auto (detects pattern), Low (LHL), or High (HLH)
4. The pitchfork draws automatically
Adjusting the Pitchfork
• Change the variant (Original/Schiff/Modified Schiff) if the angle doesn't suit your trend
• Add extra parallel levels to see where price might react beyond the main channel
• Disable or Adjust price range min/max to hide parallels outside your focus area
Adding Propagation Lines
• Adjust forward offset to add/remove lines beyond auto-extend (0 = to current bar)
• Choose which line types to display: Reaction Only, Action Only, or Both
• Customize colors to distinguish line types visually
Using the Lattice
• Enable "Draw Lattice" in the Lattice settings group
• Select which pivot's price level to use for the horizontal
• Choose the intersection source that matches your analysis style
• Look for time zones where verticals cluster—these may be significant dates
Log Scale Charts
If your chart uses logarithmic scale, enable "Logarithmic Scale" in Pitchfork Settings. This ensures all calculations transform correctly for log price axes.
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════

• Manual pivot selection — Pivots must be selected manually via timestamp inputs; no auto-detection
• Log scale requires toggle — You must enable "Logarithmic Scale" manually if your chart uses log axes
• Minor visual drift — Action/Reaction lines may shift slightly when toggling between odd and even extra parallel counts (cosmetic only)
• Backward lines visibility — When adding backward propagation lines, you may need to scroll the chart left for them to render

Opening Range {basic}Introduction
Opening range {basic} is a clean and reliable indicator designed to help traders visualize the opening range of a trading session with minimal setup and visual clutter.
This version focuses on the core components of opening range analysis, making it ideal for traders who want a simple, effective framework for identifying early-session structure across futures, forex and crypto markets.
Description
The indicator automatically calculates the opening range high, low and midpoint over a user-defined opening window (5m, 15m, 30m or 60m) within a selected trading session (default: NY session).
During the opening range window, the indicator dynamically tracks price to form the range. Once the opening range is complete, the high, low and midpoint are extended forward for the remainder of the session, providing clear reference levels that can be used for bias, mean reversion or breakout-based decision making.
A shaded fill highlights the opening range area, with an optional size display showing the total range in price units. Styling and logic are intentionally simplified to keep the chart clean and easy to interpret.
Features
Configurable opening range length
Choose between 5m, 15m, 30m or 60m opening ranges.
Session-based calculation
Opening range is calculated only within the selected trading session.
Opening range levels
Opening range high, low and midpoint.
Range fill & size display
Shaded fill between the opening range high and low.

Bullish Engulfing at Daily Support (Pivot Low) - R Target (v6)1. What this strategy really is (in human terms)
This strategy is not about predicting the market.
It’s about waiting for proof that buyers are stepping in at a price where they already should.
Think of it like this:
“I only buy when price falls into a known ‘floor’ and buyers visibly take control.”
That’s it.
Everything in the script enforces that idea.
2. The two ingredients (nothing else)
Ingredient #1: Daily Support (the location)
Support is an area where price previously fell and then reversed upward.
In the script:
Support is defined as the most recent confirmed daily swing low
A swing low means:
Price went down
Stopped
Then went up enough to prove that buyers defended that level
This matters because:
You’re not guessing where support might be
You’re using a level where buyers already proved themselves
“At support” doesn’t mean exact
Markets don’t bounce off perfect lines.
So the script allows a small zone (the “support tolerance”):
Example: 0.5% tolerance
If support is at 100
Anywhere between ~99.5–100.5 counts
This prevents missing good trades just because price was off by a few ticks.
Ingredient #2: Bullish Engulfing Candle (the trigger)
This is the confirmation.
A bullish engulfing candle means:
Sellers were in control
Buyers stepped in hard enough to fully overpower them
The bullish candle’s body “swallows” the previous candle
Psychologically, it says:
“Sellers tried, failed, and buyers just took control.”
That’s why this candle works only at support.
A bullish engulfing in the middle of nowhere means nothing.
3. Why daily timeframe matters
The daily chart:
Filters out noise
Reflects decisions made by institutions, not random scalpers
Produces fewer but higher-quality signals
That’s why:
The script uses daily data
You typically get very few trades per month
Most days: no trade
That “boredom” is the edge.
4. When a trade is taken (exact conditions)
A trade happens only if ALL are true:
Price drops into a recent daily support zone
A bullish engulfing candle forms on the daily chart
Risk is clearly defined (entry, stop, target)
If any one is missing → no trade
5. How risk is controlled (this is crucial)
The stop loss (where you admit you’re wrong)
The stop is placed:
Below the support level
Or below the low of the engulfing candle
With a small ATR buffer so normal noise doesn’t stop you out
Meaning:
“If price breaks below this area, buyers were wrong. I’m out.”
No hoping. No moving stops. No exceptions.
Position sizing (why this strategy survives losing streaks)
Each trade risks a fixed % of your account (default 1%).
So:
Big stop = smaller position
Small stop = larger position
This keeps every trade equal in risk, not equal in size.
That’s professional behavior.
6. The take-profit logic (why 2.8R matters)
Instead of guessing targets:
The strategy uses a multiple of risk (R)
Example:
Risk = $1
Target = $2.80
You can lose many times and still come out ahead.
This is why:
Win rate ≈ 60% is more than enough
Even 40–45% could still work if discipline is perfect
7. Why patience is the real edge (not the pattern)
The bullish engulfing is common.
Bullish engulfing at daily support is rare.
Most people fail because they:
Trade engulfings everywhere
Ignore location
Lower standards when bored
Add “just one more indicator”
Your edge is:
Saying no 95% of the time
Taking only trades that look obvious after they work
8. How to use this strategy effectively (rules to follow)
Rule 1: Only take “clean” setups
Skip trades when:
Support is messy or unclear
Price is chopping sideways
The engulfing candle is tiny
The market is news-chaotic (earnings, FOMC, etc.)
If you have to convince yourself, skip it.
Rule 2: One trade at a time
This strategy works best when:
You’re not stacked in multiple correlated trades
You treat each setup like it matters
Quality > quantity.
Rule 3: Journal screenshots, not just numbers
After each trade, save:
Daily chart screenshot
Support level marked
Entry / stop / target
After 50–100 trades, patterns jump out:
Best tolerance %
Best stop buffer
Markets that behave well vs poorly
That’s how the original trader refined it.
Rule 4: Expect boredom and drawdowns
You will have:
Weeks with zero trades
Clusters of losses
Long flat periods
That’s normal.
If you “fix” it by adding more trades:
You destroy the edge.
9. Who this strategy is perfect for
This fits you if:
You don’t want screen addiction
You prefer process over excitement
You’re okay being wrong often
You want something you can execute for years
It is not for:
Scalpers
Indicator collectors
People who need action every day
10. The mindset shift (the real lesson of that story)
The money didn’t come from bullish engulfings.
It came from:
Defining one repeatable behavior
Removing everything else
Trusting math + patience
Doing nothing most of the time
If you want, next we can:
Walk through real example trades bar-by-bar
Optimize settings for a specific market you trade
Add filters that increase quality without adding complexity
Power Hour Trendlines [LuxAlgo]The Power Hour Trendlines indicator is based on Power Hours detection, and includes up to three displayed trendlines derived from the closing prices of all the bars within the last user-selected Power Hours.
Users can edit the time of Power Hours, choose how many sessions to take into account, enable or disable any trendlines, and change their colors.
🔶 USAGE
The Power Hour is defined as the last hour of the trading session and is set by default from 3:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. New York time. During this period, volume and volatility enter the market. Traders using higher timeframes may use this period to enter or exit positions by placing MOC (Market on Close) orders.
This tool works under the hypothesis that prices made during power hours (periods with high trading activity) are more relevant when used for the construction of trendlines.
An initial trendline is fit using linear regression; prices from power hours located above this initial fit are used for the upper trendline, while the ones below the fit are used for the lower one.
As with any trendline, traders can analyze the slope to determine the market's direction:
Positive slope: The market is trending up.
Negative slope: The market is trending down.
No slope: The market is trending sideways.
As we can see in the image, Nasdaq and Bitcoin are clearly in downtrends, gold is clearly in an uptrend, and the euro/U.S. dollar is in a sideways market over the last visible sessions.
As you can see, the trend lines may or may not be parallel to each other. The wider the area, the more volatile the data. The narrower the area, the less volatile the data. Let's look at an example.
In the image, the Dow30 and the euro/U.S. dollar have opposite behaviors. The volatility above the middle trendline is growing in the first case but shrinking in the second. In both cases, the volatility in the bottom area seems steady, so there are no big surprises there.
Traders can adjust the number of sessions for calculations, making the tool ideal for analyzing price behavior over different time frames.
As the image shows, we can clearly see how the market behaves over different time periods. XLY has been moving down over the last 10, 20, and 40 sessions, with a steeper decline over shorter periods. However, it has been moving sideways over the last 70 sessions.
One of the main uses of trendlines is to provide key support and resistance. In the image, SPY is shown with trendlines over the last 20 sessions. These lines provide excellent reference points for trading and observing price behavior in those areas, such as whether prices are accepted or rejected, which may trigger a response from other traders.
🔹 Not Allowed Timeframes
For obvious reasons, timeframes larger than 1H are not allowed. The Power Hour is defined as the last hour of the trading session. The tool will display a warning message if the timeframe is longer than 60 minutes.
🔶 SETTINGS
Power Hour (NY Time): Choose a custom Power Hour in New York time
Sessions Memory: Select how many Power Hours to take into account for calculations.
🔹 Style
Top: Enable or disable the top line and choose the line and background colors.
Middle: Enable or disable the middle line and choose the line color.
Bottom: Enable or disable the bottom line and choose the line and background colors.
Background: Enable or disable the background color for top and bottom lines.
Gridbot Ping Pong🏓 Gridbot Ping Pong is a dynamic grid bot indicator that generates buy and sell signals as price oscillates between automatically calculated support and resistance levels. The grid adapts to trending markets through adjustable tilt and anchor parameters, which control the grid slope and shift resistance respectively. Entry signals trigger when price touches grid levels, while take profit and stop signals manage position exits. Unlike traditional grid bots that require horizontal ranges, this indicator maintains its oscillation zone as price trends by tilting and shifting the grid structure to follow momentum. The grid bot approach aims to accumulate gains through frequent touches across multiple grid levels rather than seeking large directional moves. Like a ping pong ball in motion, price oscillates between grid levels — each touch generates a signal.
⚡ THEORY & CONCEPTS ⚡
Grid trading is a systematic approach that places buy and sell orders at predetermined price intervals, creating a grid of orders above and below a set price level. In ranging markets, this method capitalizes on natural price oscillations by buying at lower grid levels and selling at higher ones. Each completed round trip between levels represents a captured opportunity, and the frequency of these oscillations determines the grid's effectiveness. Traditional grid bots excel when price remains within the defined range, methodically accumulating gains as price bounces between levels.
However, traditional grid structures face significant challenges when markets begin to trend. Fixed horizontal levels that performed well during consolidation become liabilities during directional moves. An uptrend leaves buy orders unfilled while sell orders trigger prematurely, and a downtrend creates the opposite problem. Extended trends can result in accumulated positions at increasingly unfavorable prices, with no mechanism to adapt to the new market reality. The static nature of traditional grids assumes markets will return to the mean, yet sustained breakouts regularly invalidate this assumption.
Gridbot Ping Pong addresses these limitations through dynamic grid adaptation. The tilt parameter angles the grid in the direction of the prevailing trend, aligning support and resistance levels with market momentum rather than fighting against it. The anchor parameter creates buffer zones beyond the outer grid boundaries, requiring price to demonstrate conviction before triggering a grid shift. When price breaks through these buffers, the entire grid recenters to the new price level. This combination of tilting grids and controlled shifting allows the indicator to maintain grid trading mechanics while acknowledging that markets trend.
The grid adapts through a downtrend and early reversal. Entry signals (▲▼), take profit signals (△▽), and grid shifts demonstrate the ping pong sequence as price oscillates between levels.
The grid structure consists of five levels: two potential support levels below, a center base price, and two potential resistance levels above. These levels are calculated as percentage intervals from a dynamic base price, with the spacing parameter determining the distance between each level. Trend direction is derived from consecutive grid shifts, where multiple shifts in the same direction confirm momentum. The grid restricts entries to the trend direction — buy signals in uptrends, sell signals in downtrends — while counter-trend signals convert to exits when appropriate.
Full market cycle demonstrating grid adaptation through rally, reversal, decline, and recovery. Buy signals dominate during uptrends, sell signals during downtrends, with take profits at boundaries throughout. Two stop signals mark the trend reversals.
Tilt
The tilt mechanic introduces slope to the grid structure based on trend direction and momentum. When consecutive shifts occur in the same direction, the tilt increases, creating a steeper grid that tracks with the trend. As the trend progresses, support levels rise with it — buy signals trigger on pullbacks to these rising levels rather than static levels abandoned by price. Similarly, resistance levels fall during downtrends, keeping sell signals relevant to current price action. If the trend reverses and shifts occur in the opposite direction, the tilt resets and begins building in the new direction. The tilt strength parameter controls how aggressively the grid slopes, with higher values producing steeper angles. Negative tilt values invert this relationship, angling the grid against the prevailing momentum rather than with it. This counter-trend configuration positions support levels lower during uptrends and resistance levels higher during downtrends, favoring mean reversion entries that anticipate pullbacks rather than continuation.
Negative tilt applied during an uptrend. Despite the bullish price action from late November through December, the grids slope downward, positioning buy signals at deeper support levels. Take profit signals appear at resistance as price reaches the upper grid boundaries before pulling back. The counter-trend configuration captures oscillations within the rising market rather than chasing momentum.
Anchor
The anchor mechanic provides resistance to grid shifting. Buffer zones extend beyond the outer grid boundaries, requiring price to demonstrate conviction before triggering a shift. Higher anchor values create larger buffers, requiring more significant price movement. As consecutive shifts confirm a trend, the pro-trend buffer shrinks, allowing the grid to follow momentum with increasing ease. This lets the indicator commit to established trends while resisting premature shifts during consolidations. Tilt and anchor work in complementary tension: tilt rewards momentum by angling the grid, while anchor resists excessive shifting by requiring price conviction to recenter. When price breaks through these buffers, the entire grid recenters to the new price level and play continues on a fresh table.
Steady uptrend with minimal tilt. The flat grid segments demonstrate that shifting alone keeps the grid aligned with price action. Buy signals (▲) and take profit signals (▽) alternate as price bounces between levels, accumulating gains through repetition across the entire move.
Sustained uptrend from June through September. The grid follows the trend with increasing ease as consecutive shifts reduce the pro-trend buffer. The October consolidation eventually triggers a downward shift and stop signal, but the system adapts to the renewed uptrend in November with fresh entry signals.
Signal Generation
The indicator generates three signal types. Entry signals (▲▼) trigger when price reaches a grid level in the direction of the trend, initiating a new position. Take profit signals (△▽) trigger when price reaches a grid level against the trend direction while a position is held, capturing gains as the rally continues. Stop signals (⦿) trigger when a grid shift occurs while holding a position adverse to the new shift direction. The ball goes off the table.
Trend reversal from bearish to bullish. The grid follows the downtrend through November with consecutive sell signals. A stop signal (⦿) triggers at the bottom as the grid shifts adversely against the held position. The system resets and adapts to the emerging uptrend in December, generating fresh buy signals as the new direction establishes.
Trigger Options
The signal trigger determines what price data the indicator uses to detect grid touches, balancing responsiveness against confirmation.
Auto : The default setting, using wick-based detection for pro-trend signals and close-based detection for counter-trend signals. This balances responsiveness when entering with the trend against confirmation when signaling against it.
Wick Touch : Generates signals in real-time when the high or low touches a grid level, providing the fastest response to price interaction.
Wick Reverse : Requires the wick to cross through the grid level from the previous bar, confirming the touch before signaling.
SWMA : Uses a Symmetrically Weighted Moving Average as the trigger source, generating signals only when the smoothed price crosses grid levels.
Close : Uses the bar's closing price as the trigger source, providing confirmed signals after each bar completes.
Symmetrically Weighted Moving Average (SWMA) trigger during a trend reversal. The smoothed price line filters intrabar noise, generating signals only when the SWMA crosses grid levels rather than reacting to wick touches. The grid follows the downtrend through November, resets at the bottom, and adapts to the emerging uptrend in December.
Signal Safeguards
The indicator includes built-in protections to reduce overtrading and mitigate risk, keeping the ball in play longer:
Boundary Protection : New entries are blocked at the outermost grid levels where breakout risk is highest. Exits remain permitted at these boundaries.
Signal Spacing : Signals maintain one-level separation from the most recent signal, preventing clusters of entries at similar prices.
Trend Alignment : When conflicting conditions arise, signals align with the prevailing trend direction rather than fighting momentum.
Automatic Profit Taking : Counter-trend interactions convert to take profit signals when a position is held, capturing gains rather than reversing exposure.
Adverse Shift Stops : When the grid shifts against a held position, a stop signal triggers to exit before further adverse movement.
Cautious Breakout Entries : On the first shift in a new direction, entries are restricted to favorable grid levels until the trend confirms through consecutive shifts.
Shift Resistance : Counter-trend shifts always require full buffer conviction, while pro-trend shifts become easier only after the trend is confirmed.

⚪The objective is not to predict where price will go, but to be present at each level when it arrives.
⚪Each touch at a boundary counts. Gains accumulate through repetition, not single swings.
⚪The rally continues until it doesn't. When the ball goes off the table, the game resets.
⚪The grid creates boundaries where price bounces back and forth. The table is set — the ball does the work.
⚪Price oscillates between defined levels. The grid is the table. Everything else is just ping pong.

Box Theory [Interactive Zones] PyraTimeThis script combines Nicholas Darvas’s "Box Theory" with modern Supply and Demand (Premium/Discount) concepts. It automatically identifies the most recent Swing High and Swing Low to delineate the current trading range.
The purpose of this tool is to visualize market structure and help traders identify when price is relatively expensive (Premium) or cheap (Discount) within a defined range.
Visual Guide: What You Are Seeing
The Box: Represents the active trading range defined by the most recent significant Swing High and Swing Low.
Red Zone (Premium): The top 25% of the range. Mathematically, prices here are considered "expensive" relative to the current structure.
Green Zone (Discount): The bottom 25% of the range. Prices here are considered "cheap" relative to the current structure.
Grey Zone (Equilibrium): The middle 50% of the range. This is the area of fair value where price often consolidates.
Dashed Line (EQ): The exact 50% midpoint of the range.
Tutorial: How to Trade Using This Indicator
Method 1: Mean Reversion (Range Trading) This method applies when the market is moving sideways.
Identify Structure: Wait for a box to form.
Wait for Extremes: Do not trade when price is in the middle (Grey/White area). Wait for price to enter the Red or Green zones.
Entry Trigger:
Shorts: When price enters the Red Zone, look for a rejection (wicks leaving the zone) or a lower timeframe breakdown. Target the EQ (Midline) as your first take profit.
Longs: When price enters the Green Zone, look for support formation. Target the EQ (Midline) as your first take profit.
Method 2: Trend Continuation (Breakouts) This method applies when the market is trending strongly.
Breakout: Monitor the alerts. A close outside the box indicates a potential shift in market structure.
Retest: After a breakout up, the old "Red Zone" (Resistance) often flips to become new Support. Wait for price to pull back to the top of the old box before entering.
Configuration Guide (Settings)
Pivot Left/Right Bars (Sensitivity):
Default (20/20): Best for Swing Trading. It filters out market noise and only draws boxes based on major structural points.
Lower (5/5): Best for Scalping. It will create smaller, more frequent boxes but increases the risk of false signals.
Zone Percentage:
Default (25%): Standard deviation for Supply/Demand zones.
Alternative (15%): Use this for "sniping" entries at the absolute extremes of the range.
Multi-Timeframe (MTF):
Enable "Use Higher Timeframe" to see Daily or Weekly ranges while trading on lower timeframes (like the 15m or 1H). This helps keep your intraday trades aligned with the major trend.
Technical Note on "Lag" This indicator uses Pivots to draw the box. A pivot is only confirmed after a certain number of bars have passed (the "Pivot Right Bars" setting).
Example: If "Pivot Right Bars" is set to 20, the box will update 20 bars after the actual high or low occurred. This is necessary to confirm that the point was indeed a Swing High/Low. Do not treat the box lines as predictive; they are reactive to confirmed structure.
VOLX+ VWAP Range BandsVOLX+ plots multiple VWAP-weighted high/low channels across different lookback periods to show how price behaves relative to short-term and long-term value zones.
Instead of using a single VWAP line, this tool creates four rolling VWAP envelopes:
Short-term range (fast reaction)
Mid-term range
Mid-mid range (transitional layer)
Long-term range (macro context)
Each band is computed as:
VWAP-High = SMA(high × volume, length) ÷ SMA(volume, length)
VWAP-Low = SMA(low × volume, length) ÷ SMA(volume, length)
This produces dynamic price channels that account for both price and traded volume, offering a clearer sense of where the market is accepting or rejecting value.
What It Shows
Four VWAP-weighted high/low bands
A short-term VWAP midline
Price line
Three SMAs for trend context
Optional visibility switches for each VWAP band
The filled regions between VWAP highs and lows create a layered “value map,” helping you interpret:
Trend continuation (price hugging outer VWAP bands)
Mean reversion (price returning toward inner bands)
Volatility contraction/expansion
Shifts in short-term vs long-term balance
🧠 How to Use
Use the short-term band for day-trading context or detecting short-term excess.
Use mid-term and mid-mid bands to confirm developing structure.
Use the long-term VWAP band to understand broader value zones.
Combine VWAP bands with SMAs and structure analysis for confluence.
This indicator is intended for price interpretation and analytical support.
✔ Does Not Repaint
The script uses rolling VWAP formulas and standard MAs; everything is stable and non-repainting.
SMC Statistical Liquidity Walls [PhenLabs]📊 SMC Statistical Liquidity Walls
Version: PineScript™ v6
📌 Description
The SMC Statistical Liquidity Walls indicator is designed to visualize market volatility and potential reversal zones using advanced statistical modeling. Unlike traditional Bollinger Bands that use simple lines, this script utilizes an “Inverted Sigmoid” opacity function to create a “fog of war” effect. This visualizes the density of liquidity: the further price moves from the equilibrium (mean), the “harder” the liquidity wall becomes.
This tool solves the problem of over-trading in low-probability areas. By automatically mapping “Premium” (Resistance) and “Discount” (Support) zones based on Standard Deviation (SD), traders can instantly see when price is overextended. The result is a clean, intuitive overlay that helps you identify high-probability mean reversion setups without cluttering your chart with manual drawings.
🚀 Points of Innovation
Inverted Sigmoid Logic: A custom mathematical function maps Standard Deviation to opacity, creating a realistic “wall” density effect rather than linear gradients.
Dynamic “Solidity”: The indicator is transparent at the center (Equilibrium) and becomes visually solid at the edges, mimicking physical resistance.
Separated Directional Bias: distinct Red (Premium) and Green (Discount) coding helps SMC traders instantly recognize expensive vs. cheap pricing.
Smart “Safe” Deviation: Includes fallback logic to handle calculation errors if deviation hits zero, ensuring the indicator never crashes during data gaps.
🔧 Core Components
Basis Calculation: Uses a Simple Moving Average (SMA) to determine the market’s equilibrium point.
Standard Deviation Zones: Calculates 1SD, 2SD, and 3SD levels to define the statistical extremes of price action.
Sigmoid Alpha Calculation: Converts the SD distance into a transparency value (0-100) to drive the visual gradient.
🔥 Key Features
Automated Premium/Discount Zones: Red zones indicate overbought (Premium) areas; Green zones indicate oversold (Discount) areas.
Customizable Density: Users can adjust the “Steepness” and “Midpoint” of the sigmoid curve to control how fast the walls become solid.
Integrated Alerts: Built-in alert conditions trigger when price hits the “Solid” wall (2SD or higher), perfect for automated trading or notifications.
Visual Clarity: The center of the chart remains clear (high transparency) to keep focus on price action where it matters most.
🎨 Visualization
Equilibrium Line: A gray line representing the mean price.
Gradient Fills: The space between bands fills with color that increases in opacity as it moves outward.
Premium Wall: Upper zones fade from transparent red to solid red.
Discount Wall: Lower zones fade from transparent green to solid green.
📖 Usage Guidelines
Range Period: Default 20. Controls the lookback period for the SMA and Standard Deviation calculation.
Source: Default Close. The price data used for calculations.
Center Transparency: Default 100 (Clear). Controls how transparent the middle of the chart is.
Edge Transparency: Default 45 (Solid). Controls the opacity of the outermost liquidity wall.
Wall Steepness: Default 2.5. Adjusts how aggressively the gradient transitions from clear to solid.
Wall Start Point: Default 1.5 SD. The deviation level where the gradient shift begins to accelerate.
✅ Best Use Cases
Mean Reversion Trading: Enter trades when price hits the solid 2SD or 3SD wall and shows rejection wicks.
Take Profit Targets: Use the Equilibrium (Gray Line) as a logical first target for reversal trades.
Trend Filtering: Do not initiate new long positions when price is deep inside the Red (Premium) wall.
⚠️ Limitations
Lagging Nature: As a statistical tool based on Moving Averages, the walls react to past price data and may lag during sudden volatility spikes.
Trending Markets: In strong parabolic trends, price can “ride” the bands for extended periods; mean reversion should be used with caution in these conditions.
💡 What Makes This Unique
Physics-Based Visualization: We treat liquidity as a physical barrier that gets denser the deeper you push, rather than just a static line on a chart.
🔬 How It Works
Step 1: The script calculates the mean (SMA) and the Standard Deviation (SD) of the source price.
Step 2: It defines three zones above and below the mean (1SD, 2SD, 3SD).
Step 3: The custom `get_inverted_sigmoid` function calculates an Alpha (transparency) value based on the SD distance.
Step 4: Plot fills are colored dynamically, creating a seamless gradient that hardens at the extremes to visualize the “Liquidity Wall.”
💡 Note
For best results, combine this indicator with Price Action confirmation (such as pin bars or engulfing candles) when price touches the solid walls.
The 'Qualified' POI Scorer [PhenLabs]📊 The “Qualified” POI Scorer (Q-POI)
Version: PineScript™ v6
📌 Description
The “Qualified” POI Scorer helps intermediate traders overcome "analysis paralysis" by filtering Smart Money Concepts (SMC) structures based on their probability. Instead of flooding your chart with every possible Order Block, this script assigns a proprietary “Quality Score” (0-100) to each zone. It analyzes the strength of the displacement, the presence of imbalances (FVG), and liquidity mechanics to determine which zones are worth your attention. It is designed to clean up your charts and enforce discipline by visually fading out low-quality setups.
🚀 Points of Innovation
Dynamic “Glass UI” Transparency that automatically fades weak zones based on their score.
Proprietary Scoring Algorithm (0-100) based on three distinct institutional factors.
Visual Icon System that prints analytical context (💧— 🚀/🐌—🧱) directly on the chart.
Automated Mitigation Tracking that changes the visual state of zones after they are tested.
Displacement Velocity calculation using ATR to verify institutional intent.
🔧 Core Components
Liquidity Sweep Engine: Detects if a pivot point grabbed liquidity from the previous X bars before reversing.
FVG Validator: Checks if the move away from the zone created a valid Fair Value Gap.
Momentum Scorer: Calculates the size of the displacement candle relative to the Average True Range (ATR).
🔥 Key Features
Quality Filtering: Automatically hides or dims zones that score below 50 (user configurable).
State Management: Zones turn grey when mitigated and delete themselves when invalidated.
Visual Scorecard: Displays the exact numeric score on the zone for quick decision-making.
Time-Decay Logic: Keeps the chart clean by managing the lifespan of old zones.
🎨 Visualization
High Score Zones (80-100): Display as bright, semi-solid boxes indicating high probability.
Medium Score Zones (50-79): Display as translucent “glass” boxes.
Low Score Zones (<50): Display as faint “ghost” boxes or are completely hidden.
Rocket Icon (🚀): Indicates high momentum displacement.
Snail Icon (🐌): Indicates low momentum displacement.
Drop Icon (💧): Indicates the zone swept liquidity.
Brick Icon (🧱): Indicates the zone is supported by an FVG.
📖 Usage Guidelines
Swing Structure Length (Default: 5): Controls the sensitivity of the pivot detection; lower numbers create more zones, higher numbers find major swing points.
ATR Length (Default: 14): Determines the lookback period for calculating relative momentum.
Minimum Quality Score (Default: 50): The threshold for which zones are considered “valid” enough to be fully visible.
Bullish/Bearish Colors: Fully customizable colors that adapt their own transparency based on the score.
Show Weak Zones (Default: False): Toggles the visibility of zones that failed the quality check.
✅ Best Use Cases
Filtering noise during high-volatility sessions by focusing only on Score 80+ zones.
Confirming trend continuation entries by looking for the Rocket (🚀) momentum icon.
Avoiding “stale” zones by ignoring any box that has turned grey (Mitigated).
⚠️ Limitations
The indicator is reactive to closed candles and cannot predict news-driven spikes.
Scoring is based on technical structure and does not account for fundamental drivers.
In extremely choppy markets, the ATR filter may produce lower scores due to lack of displacement.
💡 What Makes This Unique
It transforms subjective SMC analysis into an objective, quantifiable score.
The visual hierarchy allows traders to assess chart quality in milliseconds without reading data.
It integrates three separate SMC concepts (Liquidity, Imbalance, Structure) into a single tool.
🔬 How It Works
Step 1: The script identifies a Swing High or Low based on your length input.
Step 2: It looks backward to see if that swing swept liquidity, and looks forward to check for an FVG and displacement.
Step 3: It calculates a weighted score (30pts for Sweep, 30pts for FVG, 40pts for Momentum).
Step 4: It draws the zone with a transparency level designated by the score and appends the relevant icons.
💡 Note:
For the best results, use this indicator on the timeframe you execute trades on (e.g., 15m or 1h). Do not use it to find entries on the 1m chart if your analysis is based on the 4h chart.
