Ross Cameron Style Momentum SignalsThis Pine Script implements a momentum-based trading strategy inspired by Ross Cameron’s style. It combines several popular technical indicators and features to generate buy and sell signals in real time, alongside useful visual aids and alerts for decision-making.
Key Features:
Indicators Used:
Exponential Moving Average (EMA): Typically set to 9 periods, used to identify short-term trend direction.
Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP): Tracks the average price weighted by volume, a strong intraday support/resistance level.
Volume Moving Average & Spike Detection: Checks for volume spikes relative to recent average volume to confirm momentum.
Average True Range (ATR): Used for calculating a trailing stop to protect profits.
Buy Signal Criteria:
Price is above the EMA (indicating bullish momentum).
Price is above the VWAP (price supported by volume-based average).
Current volume is significantly higher than average volume (volume spike).
When all these conditions are true simultaneously, a buy signal triggers immediately and is plotted on the chart.
Sell Signal Criteria:
The trailing stop (based on ATR) is hit — meaning price dropped below the dynamic stop loss.
Or price falls below EMA or VWAP (signaling weakening momentum).
Or volume drops below the spike threshold.
Or price hits a take-profit target based on a risk/reward ratio.
When any of these occur after a buy, a sell signal triggers and is displayed.
Trailing Stop:
A dynamic stop-loss level is maintained, set at 1.5 ATR below the highest low since entry.
This trailing stop moves up as the trade moves favorably, locking in profits while giving the trade room to breathe.
Support and Resistance:
The script detects recent pivot highs and lows as potential support and resistance points.
These are plotted on the chart as lines and triangle markers, helping visualize key price zones.
Predictive trendlines are drawn by connecting recent pivots and extending them into the future to anticipate possible support or resistance.
Daily Levels:
The script plots the High of Day (HOD) and Previous Day High (PDH) levels as horizontal lines to assist intraday traders with key reference points.
Alerts:
Alerts can be set for:
Buy signals,
Sell signals,
Breakouts above resistance,
Breakdowns below support.
These allow automated notifications or integrations with brokers/third-party tools.
Visual Elements on the Chart:
Buy signals: Green labels below bars.
Sell signals: Red labels above bars.
EMA line: Orange.
VWAP line: Blue.
Trailing Stop line: Purple.
Take Profit line: Teal.
Support pivots: Green triangles.
Resistance pivots: Red triangles.
Support and resistance lines: Solid green and red lines.
Predictive trendlines: Faint dashed lines extending support/resistance into the future.
High of Day (HOD): Yellow horizontal line.
Previous Day High (PDH): Orange horizontal line.
Overall Purpose:
This script helps traders identify bullish momentum entries with confirmation from price, volume, and trend indicators, then manage trades dynamically with trailing stops and risk/reward targets. Support/resistance lines and daily levels provide context, and alerts keep traders notified in real time.
It’s designed for active traders looking for an actionable system inspired by a well-known day trading approach.
Geometric Momentum Breakout with Monte CarloOverview
This experimental indicator uses geometric trendline analysis combined with momentum and Monte Carlo simulation techniques to help visualize potential breakout areas. It calculates support, resistance, and an aggregated trendline using a custom Geo library (by kaigouthro). The indicator also tracks breakout signals in a way that a new buy signal is triggered only after a sell signal (and vice versa), ensuring no repeated signals in the same direction.
Important:
This script is provided for educational purposes only. It is experimental and should not be used for live trading without proper testing and validation.
Key Features
Trendline Calculation:
Uses the Geo library to compute support and resistance trendlines based on historical high and low prices. The midpoint of these trendlines forms an aggregated trendline.
Momentum Analysis:
Computes the Rate of Change (ROC) to determine momentum. Breakout conditions are met only if the price and momentum exceed a user-defined threshold.
Monte Carlo Simulation:
Simulates future price movements to estimate the probability of bullish or bearish breakouts over a specified horizon.
Signal Tracking:
A persistent variable ensures that once a buy (or sell) signal is triggered, it won’t repeat until the opposite signal occurs.
Geometric Enhancements:
Calculates an aggregated trend angle and channel width (distance between support and resistance), and draws a perpendicular “breakout zone” line.
Table Display:
A built-in table displays key metrics including:
Bullish probability
Bearish probability
Aggregated trend angle (in degrees)
Channel width
Alerts:
Configurable alerts notify when a new buy or sell breakout signal occurs.
Inputs
Resistance Lookback & Support Lookback:
Number of bars to look back for determining resistance and support points.
Momentum Length & Threshold:
Period for ROC calculation and the minimum percentage change required for a breakout confirmation.
Monte Carlo Simulation Parameters:
Simulation Horizon: Number of future bars to simulate.
Simulation Iterations: Number of simulation runs.
Table Position & Text Size:
Customize where the table is displayed on the chart and the size of the text.
How to Use
Add the Script to Your Chart:
Copy the code into the Pine Script editor on TradingView and add it to your chart.
Adjust Settings:
Customize the inputs (e.g., lookback periods, momentum threshold, simulation parameters) to fit your analysis or educational requirements.
Interpret Signals:
A buy signal is plotted as a green triangle below the bar when conditions are met and the state transitions from neutral or sell.
A sell signal is plotted as a red triangle above the bar when conditions are met and the state transitions from neutral or buy.
Alerts are triggered only on the bar where a new signal is generated.
Examine the Table:
The table displays key metrics (breakout probabilities, aggregated trend angle, and channel width) to help evaluate current market conditions.

Dow waveform analyzerDow Waveform Analyzer
1. Overview and Features of the Indicator
This indicator is a tool designed to analyze chart waveforms based on Dow Theory, identifying swing lows (support) and swing highs (resistance). It allows users to quickly and consistently determine trend direction. Compared to manual analysis, it provides more efficient and accurate results.
By using swing lows and swing highs, the indicator offers a more detailed understanding of trends than simple updates to highs and lows, aiding in the creation of effective trading strategies.
2. Identifying Wave Lows and Highs
Stock prices do not move in straight lines; instead, they rise and fall in waves. This indicator starts by identifying the wave lows and wave highs.
- Wave Low: The lowest point during a temporary price decline.
- Wave High: The highest point during a temporary price increase.
These are automatically identified using Pine Script’s built-in functions `pivotlow` and `pivothigh`.
3. Drawing the Waveform
The identified wave lows and highs are alternately connected to draw the waveform. However, there are cases where wave lows or highs occur consecutively:
- Consecutive Wave Lows: The lower low is used for drawing the waveform.
- Consecutive Wave Highs: The higher high is used for drawing the waveform.
4. Tracking Swing Lows/Highs and Trend Determination
Swing lows and swing highs are crucial markers that indicate the state of wave progression:
- Swing Low: The starting point of a wave (wave low) when the closing price exceeds the previous wave high.
- Swing High: The starting point of a wave (wave high) when the closing price falls below the previous wave low.
The changes in swing lows and swing highs as the waves progress allow for trend state determination.
5. Examples of Trend States
During an Uptrend:
- When the price surpasses a wave high, the swing low is updated, confirming the continuation of the uptrend.
End of an Uptrend:
- When the price falls below the swing low, the swing low disappears, and a swing high appears, signaling the end of the uptrend.
Sideways Movement:
- Swing lows and swing highs alternately appear, indicating a sideways trend.
Start of a Downtrend:
- When the price breaks below a wave low for the first time, the swing high is updated, confirming the start of the downtrend.
During a Downtrend:
- When the price breaks below a wave low, the swing high is updated, confirming the continuation of the downtrend.
End of a Downtrend:
- When the price surpasses a wave high, the swing high disappears, and a swing low reappears, signaling the end of the downtrend.
Restart of an Uptrend:
- When the swing low is updated, the uptrend resumes. The uptrend begins when the price surpasses a wave high, and the swing low is updated for the first time.
6. Applications
Trade Entries and Exits:
- Set stop orders for entry at the price level where a trend starts.
- Set stop orders for exit at the price level where a trend ends.
Trend Filtering:
- Use the indicator to confirm whether market conditions are suitable for entry based on the trend state. Analyze waveforms to aid trading strategies.
Guide for Drawing Trendlines:
- Utilize wave lows and highs as starting and ending points when drawing trendlines with drawing tools.
7. Parameters and Display Items
Pivot Points:
- Wave lows are marked with circles below the candlestick’s low, and wave highs are marked with circles above the candlestick’s high.
Number of Bars for Pivot Calculation:
- Specify the number of bars on either side used to identify highs (default: 2).
Waveform:
- Specify the color (default: blue) or toggle its visibility (default: visible).
Swing Lows/Highs:
- Displayed as large circles. The rightmost large circle on the chart indicates the current swing low or swing high. Historical swing points are also displayed to show the progression of state changes. Specify the color (default: green) or toggle visibility (default: visible).
1. インジケーターの概要と特徴
このインジケーターは、ダウ理論を基にチャートの波形を分析し、押し安値や戻り高値を特定するツールです。これにより、トレンドの方向を迅速かつ一貫して判断できます。手動での分析と比較して、効率的かつ精度の高い結果が得られる点が特徴です。
押し安値や戻り高値を利用することで、単純な高値・安値の更新よりも詳細にトレンドの状況を把握し、効果的な取引戦略の構築に役立ちます。
2. 波の谷と波の頂の特定
株価は直線的に動くのではなく、波を描きながら上昇や下落を繰り返します。このインジケーターは、まず波の谷と波の頂を特定するところから始まります。
波の谷: 一時的な下落の最安値
波の頂: 一時的な上昇の最高値
これらを Pine Script の内蔵関数（ピボットローとピボットハイ）を用いて自動的に特定しています。
3. 波形の描画方法
特定した波の谷と波の頂を交互に結んで波形を描画します。ただし、波の谷や頂が連続する場合があります。
波の谷が連続する場合: より低い谷を採用して波形を描く
波の頂が連続する場合: より高い頂を採用して波形を描く
4. 押し安値・戻り高値の追跡とトレンド判断
押し安値と戻り高値は、波の進行状況を示す重要な指標です。
押し安値: 終値が前回の高値を超えた際の波の谷
戻り高値: 終値が前回の安値を割り込んだ際の波の頂
波の進行に伴う押し安値・戻り高値の変化から、トレンドの状態を判断します。
5. トレンド状態の具体例
上昇トレンド中:
波の頂を株価が上抜け押し安値が更新され続けることで上昇トレンドを継続。
上昇トレンドの終了:
株価が押し安値を割ると、押し安値が消え、戻り高値が新たに出現して、上昇トレンドを終了。
横ばい状態:
押し安値と戻り高値が交互に切り替わる。
下降トレンドの開始:
波の谷を株価が下抜け戻り高値がはじめて更新されることで下降トレンド開始を確認。
下降トレンド中:
波の谷を株価が下抜け戻り高値が更新され続けることで下降トレンドを継続。

RR SummaThis is my favourite Indicator
Support and resistance are fundamental concepts in technical analysis used by traders to predict potential price movements in financial markets such as stocks, forex, and cryptocurrencies.
### 1. **Support**
Support refers to a price level at which an asset tends to find buying interest, preventing the price from falling further. It acts as a "floor" where demand is strong enough to halt the downward movement and potentially reverse it. When the price approaches support, buyers may step in, believing the asset is undervalued.
- **Characteristics of Support:**
- **Previous lows:** Historical price points where the price has repeatedly bounced upward.
- **Increased buying pressure:** When prices approach the support level, traders tend to buy, believing it's a good entry point.
- **Psychological factor:** Traders view support levels as a point where the price is unlikely to fall below for a while.
- **Example:** A stock may be trading at $50, and whenever it drops near that price, buyers step in and push it back up. In this case, $50 is the support level.
### 2. **Resistance**
Resistance is the opposite of support. It is a price level at which an asset faces selling pressure, preventing the price from rising further. It acts as a "ceiling," where supply exceeds demand, often leading to a reversal or consolidation.
- **Characteristics of Resistance:**
- **Previous highs:** Historical price points where the price has struggled to break through or where it has reversed downward.
- **Increased selling pressure:** Sellers are more likely to take profits or short the asset near resistance levels.
- **Psychological factor:** Traders may perceive resistance levels as a point where the asset is overvalued or where the trend will reverse.
- **Example:** A stock may approach a price of $100, but every time it gets close, sellers appear and push the price back down. In this case, $100 is the resistance level.
### **Key Points about Support and Resistance**
- **Breakout and Breakdown:** If a price moves beyond a support or resistance level, it is considered a breakout (above resistance) or breakdown (below support). This may signal a new trend in the market.
- **Role Reversal:** Once a resistance level is broken, it can turn into a support level, and vice versa. Traders often look for such shifts in market behavior.
- **Trend Continuation or Reversal:** Support and resistance can indicate whether the market is in a trend or preparing for a reversal. A test of support or resistance can lead to a continuation if the level holds, or a reversal if the level is breached.
### **Identifying Support and Resistance**
- **Historical Price Action:** Look for points where the price has reversed or consolidated multiple times.
- **Trendlines:** Draw trendlines that connect swing highs (resistance) and swing lows (support) to identify these levels.
- **Moving Averages:** Key moving averages (e.g., 50-day, 200-day) can act as dynamic support and resistance levels.
### **Why Support and Resistance Matter**
- **Risk Management:** Traders use these levels to place stop-loss orders to manage risk.
- **Entry and Exit Points:** These levels can help traders decide when to enter or exit trades, aiming to buy near support and sell near resistance.
- **Market Sentiment:** Support and resistance levels reflect the collective psychology of market participants, indicating areas where sentiment may shift.
In summary, support and resistance are essential tools for traders to identify potential price points where assets may reverse or consolidate. Understanding these levels allows traders to make more informed decisions about when to buy, sell, or stay on the sidelines.
YinYang MomentumOverview:
YinYang Momentum is a Price, Volume and Momentum Oscillator. Its job is to help you see swings in momentum and the strength of it. It also creates signals (Blood Diamond (Bear) and Support Cross (Bull)) where these momentum swings may occur. YinYang Momentum features 3 Price and 3 Volume 'Mountains with Ice'. There are Predictive, Regular and Confirming Mountains. You have the ability to overlay them on top of each other which helps to decipher momentum swings. The Volume Mountains are very important for showing the strength behind the Price Mountains and their Signals. If you look, you'll notice, as the 'Ice' starts to curve into the 'Mountains' it signals a potential shift in Momentum. The green Mountain is the Predictive, the Blue is the Regular and the Purple is the Confirming. You'll also notice that the Predictive Mountains movements happen first and move much more drastically. When you notice the regular starts to follow suit, there is a potential for a momentum shift. Shortly after, a signal will occur if this shift is actually happening. You can also check the Confirming Mountain for more confirmation (however, leaving the Confirming Mountain active can be a little confusing and make it harder to read signals). YinYang Momentum also features Information Tables. These tables display how the Blood Diamonds and Support Cross' are fairing on different Timeframes. This way, you'll be able to see if it's in a Bullish or Bearish state on critical Time Frames no matter what Timeframe you're trading on.
Before we move onto the tutorial, let's discuss what each of these Mountains and Ice are and how they work. All of our Mountains and Ice are calculated using the same algorithm but with varying sources, lengths and multipliers. We are essentially calculating differences in movement and then sending those differences into an EMA for the Mountain Base and SMA for the mountain Ice. The values we use for the Predictive are much lower and therefore occur much quicker as they aren’t averaged out on longer lengths/time frames; this helps to make it more of a leading Indicator which may predict momentum changes. Our Regular is over a medium length and multipliers that result in a smooth but generally also gradual movement that helps reliability; this helps it act as more of an ‘in the now’ Indication of momentum changes. Our Confirming uses lengths and multipliers that are of a higher value and longer span; this makes it more difficult to use for determining entry / exit locations as it's more of a lagging indicator, but it helps to add confirmation as to whether the momentum change has occurred and wasn't a false signal.
Tutorial:
YinYang Momentum may look like a lot is going on.. And well that’s cause there is.. But that doesn’t mean it's confusing or hard to read once you know what you’re looking for!
To make this tutorial a little easier to understand, let's turn off a few settings and dissect this indicator one thing at a time. YinYang Momentum features Price and Volume mountains. Currently in the photo above we have 2 Price Mountains and 1 Volume Mountain turned on (this is how it's set by default and how we recommend using it), however there are 3 Mountains available for both Price and Volume:
Predictive
Regular
Confirming
We are going to deactivate everything so it's the Regular Price Mountain + Ice enabled.
Now that it is just the Regular Price Mountain and Ice it is much easier to teach and understand. As you can see there are two different colors on the mountain. The dark blue is the Mountain and the light blue is the Ice.
The Ice moves before the mountain does and when the momentum happens it is larger than it (below or above). When the momentum starts to change however, the Ice curves inside of the mountain. As you can see here, where the BUY signal (red cross) is, the Ice curves into the mountain; also where the SELL signal (red circle) is, the Ice curves into the mountain. The Ice curving into the mountain is a very important leading indication that momentum is changing and the Signals (crosses and diamonds) help solidify this momentum change.
The Index levels for YinYang Momentum is a little different than most oscillators that range from 0-100. Instead YinYang Momentum’s neutral level is 0 and it ranges from -100 to 100. For these reasons, the Viable Range for Buying is -40 to -70 and the Optimal Range for Buying is -70 to -100. For Selling, the Viable Range is 40 to 70 and the Optimal Range is 70 to 100.
If you look at the example above, you can see whenever it has been in the optimal range and the signal occurred, it may potentially be an amazing time to buy or sell. However, when it is within the Viable Range it can be hit or miss. The reason for this is because we are only looking at the Regular Price Mountain and Ice. Once we turn on the Predictive Price and Regular Volume we will have a much clearer idea as to what is noise and what is a true purchase signal. Why don’t we turn on Predictive Price Mountains and Ice so you can see what we’re talking about:
So there are 2 big things that changed when we added the predictive price mountains + ice.
We can see that where the orange circle is, is just noise, it isn’t a viable buy signal.
We can see that where the red circle is, is actually a better spot to sell than the previous marked white circle slightly to the right of it.
We will explain why both above are true, but first let's explain how we were able to deduce this information.
There are 5 rules when deciphering if the signal is a true signal or just noise.
You want the predictive mountain to be decently spaced out from the regular mountain. Refer to the example above how that should look. Remember it's predictive so with parabolic movements it will get quite spaced out. If the price went up but slowly, it generally won’t be as spaced and isn’t as strong of a signal predictor.
You want the Ice to be of a decent size and to curve in on both the Predictive and Regular Mountains. Both arrows (red and white circle arrows) are pointing to Ice that does just that. The Predictive mountain is of decent size and spaced out and the Ice curves in sharply on the Predictive, before curving in sharply on the Regular and then we get both Predictive and Regular Support Cross on the Same Bar.
When you get the Signals (Predictive and Regular) the amount of bars between them matters a lot! On the same Bar is ideal, however 1-2, max 3 bars between them is acceptable. Any more than 3 bars spacing and it's too risky of a signal because that means momentum change was happening but then stopped before picking back up. This doesn’t mean it can’t be a good signal, it just means it is much more risky and we don’t recommend it.
You don’t want Signal Clustering. You can see an example of this from the picture above. Signal Clustering is where signals are back to back over and over. During this time the momentum is in a consolidation phase and easily swaps back and forth between signals. These signals are not reliable and should not be traded on. We only want to act on clear momentum based signals.
Last but certainly not least, actually, the most important! Ensure that the Mountain + Ice for both the Predictive and Regular is at the bare minimum touching (preferably inside) the Viable Range. The Optimal range is best, but most mountains don’t make it that far. Viable Range is where you will make most of your trades from. Sometimes a great signal happens with all 5 of these rules but it is only touching the Viable Range right at 40 or -40. This CAN be okay, but is also much more risky than if it was at 50 to 60 or -50 to -60.
Based on the 5 rules mentioned, take a second and look back at the photo where we initially added the Predictive Price mountains and Ice, can you decipher why the orange circle is just noise, and can you see why the red circle is a better sell location than the white circle slightly to the right of it?
Let’s bring that photo back up now and let’s discuss this:
Let's start with the orange circle:
This orange circle, without the predictive, was hard to tell if it was a good location to buy or not, but the second we turned it on we could clearly see it was just noise.
The spacing between the Predictive mountains and the Regular is almost non-existent.
There was signal clustering shortly before this signal.
Remember, there doesn’t have to be many rules broken for a signal to be either too risky or not valid at all. The safest trades are ones where it meets the requirements of all 5 rules (6 once we talk about volume, but 5 price rules).
Now, let's discuss the red circle:
This red circle, although it could have been chosen with just the regular, was much more noticeable with the predictive added on top.
It has a perfect spacing between the Predictive and the Regular all the way to the peak.
The Ice is large and both curve in very nicely towards the mountains.
The signals are within 2 bars apart from each other.
There is no signal clustering.
The Predictive is within the Viable Range and the Regular is just touching it.
For these reasons, the red circle actually would have been where you sold and not the white circle beside it.
This pretty much covers the Price Mountains, but wait! The most important Cherry on Top to your decision making process is coming next!
We have just enabled our Regular Volume Mountains and Ice (which are the black mountains + ice). As you can see, we have circled what we call the ‘Perfect Combo’. This Perfect combo is when you have all 5 Price rules met COMBINED with a high volume mountain. The Volume Mountain and Ice act as strength. They aren’t biased towards bulls or bears, they simply show strength to whatever signal is present with it.
For example, if all 5 rules are met with Price on a Blood Diamond (Bear) Signal and there is a High Volume Mountain then this is also a ‘Perfect Combo’. That Blood Diamond signal will potentially have great strength behind it. The Viable and Optimal Ranges don’t apply to volume mountains. Any volume mountain, even close to the Viable Range, is considered to be a very high mountain. High volume is when the mountain is above 0 and low volume is when it's below 0. Any signal with low volume has less of a chance of being correct, regardless of whether it abides by all 5 price rules.
You can see here that the 5 Price rules are achieved but the volume mountain is low. It is at -25. Since the 5 Price rules are right, there is still a decent amount of accuracy to this signal and the price did plummet after, but not nearly as much as it would have if the volume mountain was high with it.
We have turned our Confirming Price Mountain on here so you can get an idea of what it looks like and how it’s used. If you refer to the Support Crosses and Blood Diamonds circled in white, you’ll see that although they both received their signals on the Predictive and Regular, neither of them received it on the Confirming. This shows that these signals lost momentum shortly after. However if you look at both the red and green circles, you’ll see that they both received their confirming signals and that it helped give those signals momentum. The Confirming Price Mountain is meant to help confirm if the momentum change is still on track and the max 3 bars from the regular signal rule still applies to it. However its height within the viable and optimal range is important, just not as relevant
Before we move on to our Information Tables we want to take a second just to discuss our Volume Mountains and Ice. We haven’t had a chance yet to discuss the Predictive or Confirming Volume. When it comes to our Volume Mountains + Ice, we don’t recommend having more than 1 on at a time. The reason we have included the Predictive and Confirming is in case you find they suit your Trading Style best, not necessarily to be used the same way the Price Mountains and Ice are. The main reason for this is due to the fact that the Volume Mountains are much smaller and when overlaid on top of each other can make a confusing blur that is hard to decipher.
In this example above we have enabled both Predictive and Regular Volume just so you can understand what we are talking about. The two together can be rather confusing and actually interfere with your decision making process. For this reason, we highly recommend finding the Volume Mountain that suits your trading style best and solely sticking to that.
Our Predictive Volume Mountains and Ice may help sense volume changes before they’ve even happened. This can be very useful if your Trading Style revolves around heavy volume changes.
Our Confirming Volume Mountains and Ice are much slower and smaller, but they help show the movement of volume that has occurred already. This can be used to help see the movement of volume without fearing it may or may not happen.
Our Information Tables are there to show you valuable information on whether it is in a state of Support Cross or Blood Diamond on 6 different Time Frames at the same time. The % it shows you displays how much of a price change has occurred since that signal has happened. It is important to note, if for instance you see it is in a state of Support Cross but the % is negative, this generally means it is going to switch to Blood Diamond soon and vice versa. Therefore if you are in a trade, especially on a lower Time Frame and you are watching the 1 Day or a higher Time Frame and notice that the % is getting less and less, it may be a good time to get out.
We will conclude our Tutorial here. If you have any Questions, Concerns, Suggestions or Comments please don’t hesitate to contact us.
Settings:
1. Show Predictive to Confirmed Trendline:
The Predictive to Confirmed Trendline is very useful for seeing when the predictive (Support Cross or Blood Diamond) has hit the confirmed (It’s a strong confirmation that the trend may be shifting). This trendline also features a Moving Average which helps give you a solid marker for when the Regular / Predictive mountains cross under or over it that a momentum swing may occur. Somewhat like when the RSI crosses above/below its Moving Average it dictates momentum change, that is likewise how to interpret when it happens with the mountains and this trendline.
2. Show Price Ice and Mountains based on:
The Price Ice and Mountains are very important when it comes to deciphering signal strength. For example, When the mountains are very low (regular and predictive) and are between the 2 red line (undervalued) or even possibly below the bottom red line, and the Ice on the mountains starts to curve into the mountains and then the Predictive and Regular Support Cross occur; this is a very strong Bullish Signal. But wait, that's not all, the cherry on top is when the volume mountain (black) is ALSO high while this occurs; the Volume Mountain adds Strength to the signal. When the volume mountain is high too during this ‘Perfect Combo’ this may potentially lead to very bullish price movement occurring soon. Here is an overview of each mountain:
2.1. Predictive: Are the least reliable, but they move first and nothing will move without the predictive moving first, and getting you ready.
2.2. Regular: Are the most accurate, they don't signify strength on its own, but they sure show some momentum.
2.3. Confirming: Are slightly behind when it comes to displaying data, and therefore shouldn't be used for entry / exit, but rather to show if the trend movement has truly been confirmed or not.
When the Ice starts to curve into the Mountain, (either upward or below) it signifies possible momentum change. There are Crosses (Bull), and Diamonds (Bear) to show when they've crossed. Cross' and Diamonds balance each other out and therefore there can never be more than 1 in a row (of the same type). When the Ice and Mountain size is very large (between 40 and 70), and the predictive Ice starts to curve into its mountain, and then the predictive curves into the Regular, and the Regular Ice is curving into its Mountain, then it may have some strong weight behind that signal.\nIMPORTANT: refer to Volume tooltip below for how to increase the signal strength even more.
3. Show Volume Ice and Mountains based on:
The Volume Ice and Mountains are for giving strength to the Price's signals and Size. When there is the perfect combo (described above) AND the Volume Ice + Mountain is high, then there may be a lot of strength to that Price signals (whether it is Cross (Bull), or Diamond (Bear)).
IMPORTANT: High volume mountains, unlike Price, don't mean good or bad. Volume shows strength to the Price, and therefore if there are high Volume mountains during a Diamond (Bearish), then there may be a lot of strength to that signal and vice versa.
4. Show Information Tables:
Information tables are used to display 6 different Time Frames and whether or not each time frame is in a state of Blood Diamond (red) or Support Cross (green). They also show how much % in price has changed since the current signal happened. These are very useful for seeing how the price is fairing on different Time Frames without having to constantly change your timeframe. For instance, maybe you base your entry off the 1 day time frame but then you swing trade on the 15 minute. Well, after you’ve confirmed your entry position and are sitting on the 15 minute, you can stay on the 15 minute and see how it is fairing on the 1 day, 5 minute or whatever time frame you choose. This way you aren’t distracted from the trade at hand. All of these Time Frames can be adjusted in the Settings (GUI) to whatever resolution you wish.
5. Res1 / Res2/ Res3 / Res4 / Res5 / Res6:
These represent the different resolutions (Time Frames) being used in your information tables and can be modified to display whatever resolution works best for your trading style. By default they are:
Res1: Current Timeframe
Res2: 15 Minute
Res3: 1 Hour
Res4: 4 Hour
Res5: 1 Day
Res6: 1 Week
Backup Res (not changeable): 5 Minute (this is only used if your Current Timeframe in Res1 is a duplicate of one of the other resolutions)
HAPPY TRADING!
Support & Resistance AI (K means/median) [ThinkLogicAI]█ OVERVIEW
K-means is a clustering algorithm commonly used in machine learning to group data points into distinct clusters based on their similarities. While K-means is not typically used directly for identifying support and resistance levels in financial markets, it can serve as a tool in a broader analysis approach.
Support and resistance levels are price levels in financial markets where the price tends to react or reverse. Support is a level where the price tends to stop falling and might start to rise, while resistance is a level where the price tends to stop rising and might start to fall. Traders and analysts often look for these levels as they can provide insights into potential price movements and trading opportunities.
█ BACKGROUND
The K-means algorithm has been around since the late 1950s, making it more than six decades old. The algorithm was introduced by Stuart Lloyd in his 1957 research paper "Least squares quantization in PCM" for telecommunications applications. However, it wasn't widely known or recognized until James MacQueen's 1967 paper "Some Methods for Classification and Analysis of Multivariate Observations," where he formalized the algorithm and referred to it as the "K-means" clustering method.
So, while K-means has been around for a considerable amount of time, it continues to be a widely used and influential algorithm in the fields of machine learning, data analysis, and pattern recognition due to its simplicity and effectiveness in clustering tasks.
█ COMPARE AND CONTRAST SUPPORT AND RESISTANCE METHODS
1) K-means Approach:
Cluster Formation: After applying the K-means algorithm to historical price change data and visualizing the resulting clusters, traders can identify distinct regions on the price chart where clusters are formed. Each cluster represents a group of similar price change patterns.
Cluster Analysis: Analyze the clusters to identify areas where clusters tend to form. These areas might correspond to regions of price behavior that repeat over time and could be indicative of support and resistance levels.
Potential Support and Resistance Levels: Based on the identified areas of cluster formation, traders can consider these regions as potential support and resistance levels. A cluster forming at a specific price level could suggest that this level has been historically significant, causing similar price behavior in the past.
Cluster Standard Deviation: In addition to looking at the means (centroids) of the clusters, traders can also calculate the standard deviation of price changes within each cluster. Standard deviation is a measure of the dispersion or volatility of data points around the mean. A higher standard deviation indicates greater price volatility within a cluster.
Low Standard Deviation: If a cluster has a low standard deviation, it suggests that prices within that cluster are relatively stable and less likely to exhibit sudden and large price movements. Traders might consider placing tighter stop-loss orders for trades within these clusters.
High Standard Deviation: Conversely, if a cluster has a high standard deviation, it indicates greater price volatility within that cluster. Traders might opt for wider stop-loss orders to allow for potential price fluctuations without getting stopped out prematurely.
Cluster Density: Each data point is assigned to a cluster so a cluster that is more dense will act more like gravity and
2) Traditional Approach:
Trendlines: Draw trendlines connecting significant highs or lows on a price chart to identify potential support and resistance levels.
Chart Patterns: Identify chart patterns like double tops, double bottoms, head and shoulders, and triangles that often indicate potential reversal points.
Moving Averages: Use moving averages to identify levels where the price might find support or resistance based on the average price over a specific period.
Psychological Levels: Identify round numbers or levels that traders often pay attention to, which can act as support and resistance.
Previous Highs and Lows: Identify significant previous price highs and lows that might act as support or resistance.
The key difference lies in the approach and the foundation of these methods. Traditional methods are based on well-established principles of technical analysis and market psychology, while the K-means approach involves clustering price behavior without necessarily incorporating market sentiment or specific price patterns.
It's important to note that while the K-means approach might provide an interesting way to analyze price data, it should be used cautiously and in conjunction with other traditional methods. Financial markets are influenced by a wide range of factors beyond just price behavior, and the effectiveness of any method for identifying support and resistance levels should be thoroughly tested and validated. Additionally, developments in trading strategies and analysis techniques could have occurred since my last update.
█ K MEANS ALGORITHM
The algorithm for K means is as follows:
Initialize cluster centers
assign data to clusters based on minimum distance
calculate cluster center by taking the average or median of the clusters
repeat steps 1-3 until cluster centers stop moving
█ LIMITATIONS OF K MEANS
There are 3 main limitations of this algorithm:
Sensitive to Initializations: K-means is sensitive to the initial placement of centroids. Different initializations can lead to different cluster assignments and final results.
Assumption of Equal Sizes and Variances: K-means assumes that clusters have roughly equal sizes and spherical shapes. This may not hold true for all types of data. It can struggle with identifying clusters with uneven densities, sizes, or shapes.
Impact of Outliers: K-means is sensitive to outliers, as a single outlier can significantly affect the position of cluster centroids. Outliers can lead to the creation of spurious clusters or distortion of the true cluster structure.
█ LIMITATIONS IN APPLICATION OF K MEANS IN TRADING
Trading data often exhibits characteristics that can pose challenges when applying indicators and analysis techniques. Here's how the limitations of outliers, varying scales, and unequal variance can impact the use of indicators in trading:
Outliers are data points that significantly deviate from the rest of the dataset. In trading, outliers can represent extreme price movements caused by rare events, news, or market anomalies. Outliers can have a significant impact on trading indicators and analyses:
Indicator Distortion: Outliers can skew the calculations of indicators, leading to misleading signals. For instance, a single extreme price spike could cause indicators like moving averages or RSI (Relative Strength Index) to give false signals.
Risk Management: Outliers can lead to overly aggressive trading decisions if not properly accounted for. Ignoring outliers might result in unexpected losses or missed opportunities to adjust trading strategies.
Different Scales: Trading data often includes multiple indicators with varying units and scales. For example, prices are typically in dollars, volume in units traded, and oscillators have their own scale. Mixing indicators with different scales can complicate analysis:
Normalization: Indicators on different scales need to be normalized or standardized to ensure they contribute equally to the analysis. Failure to do so can lead to one indicator dominating the analysis due to its larger magnitude.
Comparability: Without normalization, it's challenging to directly compare the significance of indicators. Some indicators might have a larger numerical range and could overshadow others.
Unequal Variance: Unequal variance in trading data refers to the fact that some indicators might exhibit higher volatility than others. This can impact the interpretation of signals and the performance of trading strategies:
Volatility Adjustment: When combining indicators with varying volatility, it's essential to adjust for their relative volatilities. Failure to do so might lead to overemphasizing or underestimating the importance of certain indicators in the trading strategy.
Risk Assessment: Unequal variance can impact risk assessment. Indicators with higher volatility might lead to riskier trading decisions if not properly taken into account.
█ APPLICATION OF THIS INDICATOR
This indicator can be used in 2 ways:
1) Make a directional trade:
If a trader thinks price will go higher or lower and price is within a cluster zone, The trader can take a position and place a stop on the 1 sd band around the cluster. As one can see below, the trader can go long the green arrow and place a stop on the one standard deviation mark for that cluster below it at the red arrow. using this we can calculate a risk to reward ratio.
Calculating risk to reward: targeting a risk reward ratio of 2:1, the trader could clearly make that given that the next resistance area above that in the orange cluster exceeds this risk reward ratio.
2) Take a reversal Trade:
We can use cluster centers (support and resistance levels) to go in the opposite direction that price is currently moving in hopes of price forming a pivot and reversing off this level.
Similar to the directional trade, we can use the standard deviation of the cluster to place a stop just in case we are wrong.
In this example below we can see that shorting on the red arrow and placing a stop at the one standard deviation above this cluster would give us a profitable trade with minimal risk.
Using the cluster density table in the upper right informs the trader just how dense the cluster is. Higher density clusters will give a higher likelihood of a pivot forming at these levels and price being rejected and switching direction with a larger move.
█ FEATURES & SETTINGS
General Settings:
Number of clusters: The user can select from 3 to five clusters. A good rule of thumb is that if you are trading intraday, less is more (Think 3 rather than 5). For daily 4 to 5 clusters is good.
Cluster Method: To get around the outlier limitation of k means clustering, The median was added. This gives the user the ability to choose either k means or k median clustering. K means is the preferred method if the user things there are no large outliers, and if there appears to be large outliers or it is assumed there are then K medians is preferred.
Bars back To train on: This will be the amount of bars to include in the clustering. This number is important so that the user includes bars that are recent but not so far back that they are out of the scope of where price can be. For example the last 2 years we have been in a range on the sp500 so 505 days in this setting would be more relevant than say looking back 5 years ago because price would have to move far to get there.
Show SD Bands: Select this to show the 1 standard deviation bands around the support and resistance level or unselect this to just show the support and resistance level by itself.
Features:
Besides the support and resistance levels and standard deviation bands, this indicator gives a table in the upper right hand corner to show the density of each cluster (support and resistance level) and is color coded to the cluster line on the chart. Higher density clusters mean price has been there previously more than lower density clusters and could mean a higher likelihood of a reversal when price reaches these areas.

Parallel Projections [theEccentricTrader]█ OVERVIEW
This indicator automatically projects parallel trendlines or channels, from a single point of origin. In the example above I have applied the indicator twice to the 1D SPXUSD. The five upper lines (green) are projected at an angle of -5 from the 1-month swing high anchor point with a projection ratio of -72. And the seven lower lines (blue) are projected at an angle of 10 with a projection ratio of 36 from the 1-week swing low anchor point.
█ CONCEPTS
Green and Red Candles
• A green candle is one that closes with a high price equal to or above the price it opened.
• A red candle is one that closes with a low price that is lower than the price it opened.
Swing Highs and Swing Lows
• A swing high is a green candle or series of consecutive green candles followed by a single red candle to complete the swing and form the peak.
• A swing low is a red candle or series of consecutive red candles followed by a single green candle to complete the swing and form the trough.
Peak and Trough Prices (Basic)
• The peak price of a complete swing high is the high price of either the red candle that completes the swing high or the high price of the preceding green candle, depending on which is higher.
• The trough price of a complete swing low is the low price of either the green candle that completes the swing low or the low price of the preceding red candle, depending on which is lower.
Historic Peaks and Troughs
The current, or most recent, peak and trough occurrences are referred to as occurrence zero. Previous peak and trough occurrences are referred to as historic and ordered numerically from right to left, with the most recent historic peak and trough occurrences being occurrence one.
Support and Resistance
• Support refers to a price level where the demand for an asset is strong enough to prevent the price from falling further.
• Resistance refers to a price level where the supply of an asset is strong enough to prevent the price from rising further.
Support and resistance levels are important because they can help traders identify where the price of an asset might pause or reverse its direction, offering potential entry and exit points. For example, a trader might look to buy an asset when it approaches a support level , with the expectation that the price will bounce back up. Alternatively, a trader might look to sell an asset when it approaches a resistance level , with the expectation that the price will drop back down.
It's important to note that support and resistance levels are not always relevant, and the price of an asset can also break through these levels and continue moving in the same direction.
Trendlines
Trendlines are straight lines that are drawn between two or more points on a price chart. These lines are used as dynamic support and resistance levels for making strategic decisions and predictions about future price movements. For example traders will look for price movements along, and reactions to, trendlines in the form of rejections or breakouts/downs.

• Intraday Lowest Low (intraday charts only)
Swing High/Swing Low Occurrence
This input is used to determine which historic peak or trough to reference for swing high or swing low anchor point types.
HTF Resolution
This input is used to determine which higher timeframe to reference for swing high (HTF) or swing low (HTF) anchor point types.
Highest High/Lowest Low Lookback
This input is used to determine the lookback length for highest high or lowest low anchor point types.
Intraday Highest High/Lowest Low Lookback
When using intraday highest high or lowest low anchor point types, the lookback length is calculated automatically based on number of bars since the daily candle opened.
Angle Degree
This input is used to determine the angle of the trendlines. The output is expressed in terms of point or pips, depending on the symbol type, which is then passed through the built in math.todegrees() function. Positive numbers will project the lines upwards while negative numbers will project the lines downwards. Depending on the market and timeframe, the impact input values will have on the visible gaps between the lines will vary greatly. For example, an input of 10 will have a far greater impact on the gaps between the lines when viewed from the 1-minute timeframe than it would on the 1-day timeframe. The input is a float and as such the value passed through can go into as many decimal places as the user requires.
It is also worth mentioning that as more lines are added the gaps between the lines, that are closest to the anchor point, will get tighter as they make their way up the y-axis. Although the gaps between the lines will stay constant at the x2 plot, i.e. a distance of 10 points between them, they will gradually get tighter and tighter at the point of origin as the slope of the lines get steeper.
Projection Ratio
This input is used to determine the distance between the parallels, expressed in terms of point or pips. Positive numbers will project the lines upwards while negative numbers will project the lines downwards. Depending on the market and timeframe, the impact input values will have on the visible gaps between the lines will vary greatly. For example, an input of 10 will have a far greater impact on the gaps between the lines when viewed from the 1-minute timeframe than it would on the 1-day timeframe. The input is a float and as such the value passed through can go into as many decimal places as the user requires.
Number Lines
This input is used to determine the number of lines to be drawn on the chart, maximum is 500.
█ LIMITATIONS
All green and red candle calculations are based on differences between open and close prices, as such I have made no attempt to account for green candles that gap lower and close below the close price of the preceding candle, or red candles that gap higher and close above the close price of the preceding candle. This may cause some unexpected behaviour on some markets and timeframes. I can only recommend using 24-hour markets, if and where possible, as there are far fewer gaps and, generally, more data to work with.
If the lines do not draw or you see a study error saying that the script references too many candles in history, this is most likely because the higher timeframe anchor point is not present on the current timeframe. This problem usually occurs when referencing a higher timeframe, such as the 1-month, from a much lower timeframe, such as the 1-minute. How far you can lookback for higher timeframe anchor points on the current timeframe will also be limited by your Trading View subscription plan. Premium users get 20,000 candles worth of data, pro+ and pro users get 10,000, and basic users get 5,000.
█ RAMBLINGS
It is my current thesis that the indicator will work best when used in conjunction with my Wavemeter indicator, which can be used to set the angle and projection ratio. For example, the average wave height or amplitude could be used as the value for the angle and projection ratio inputs. Or some factor or multiple of such an average. I think this makes sense as it allows for objectivity when applying the indicator across different markets and timeframes with different energies and vibrations.

Sessions [LuxAlgo]This indicator shows when user set sessions are active and returns various tools + metrics using the closing price within active sessions as an input. Users have the option to change up to 4 session times.
The indicator will increasingly lack accuracy when the chart timeframe is higher than 1 hour.
Settings
Sessions
Enable Session: Allows to enable or disable all associated elements with a specific user set session.
Session Time: Opening and closing times of the user set session in the hh:mm format.
Range: Highlights the associated session range on the chart.
Trendline: Returns the associated session trendline on the chart.
Mean: Returns the associated session mean average on the chart.
VWAP: Returns the associated session volume weighted average price on the chart.
Ranges Settings
Range Area Transparency: Transparency of the area highlighting sessions ranges.
Range Outline: Highlights the borders of the session range area.
Range Label: Shows the session label at the mid-point of the session interval.
Dashboard
Show Dashboard: Enables sessions dashboard on the chart.
Advanced Dashboard: Returns more information regarding user set sessions on the dashboard.
Dividers
Show Session Divider: Highlights active sessions using intervals on the bottom of the chart (this can lead to less responsive charts)
Show Daily Divider: Highlights days on the chart.
Usage
This tool is versatile and allows the user to perform a wide variety of tasks all focusing on highlighting and analyzing price movements within a specific user set session in a periodic fashion.
Significant forex trading sessions are used by default, but the users are free to choose the opening and closing time of their choices.
Using ranges can indicate which sessions returned the most volatile price movements.
Trendlines can be useful to estimate the underlying trend of a specific session, but they can also offer a quick way to see which session started a trend reversal.
The session Mean highlights the equilibrium level within a session, extrapolating these levels can provide potential support and resistances levels of interest.
Finally, users can use the sessions VWAP's for real time applications, using them as trailing supports and resistances.
Using The Advanced Dashboard
The advanced dashboard returns useful information regarding the user set sessions. Each dashboard elements are described below:
Status: Highlights whether the user set session is active (open) of inactive (closed).
Trend: Shows correlation coefficient between the session prices and a linear sequence of values. Values above 0 indicates an up-trending session, while values under 0 indicates a down-trending session. Values closer to (1, -1) indicates a more trending session.
Volume: Shows accumulated volume within the session
σ (Standard Deviation): Shows standard deviation of the session, while this value is not bounded it can be useful to compare it with the other ones to see which session was the most volatile.
Note that when a session becomes inactive the value on the dashboard will hold until the specific session becomes active again.
Trend Lines for RSI, CCI, Momentum, OBVHello Traders!
After publishing Trend Lines for RSI yesterday, I realized that Trend Lines for more indicators needed by the traders. so I decided to make it for four different indicators: RSI, CCI, OBV, Momentum
In the indicator options you can choose the indicator from pull-down menu.
How it works?
- On each bar it finds last 10 higher and lower Pivot Points (PP) for the indicator.
- from first bar to 10. Pivot Point it searchs if a trend line is possible
- for each PP it starts searching from the last PP .
- it checks if drawing a trend line possible or not and also it's broken or not
- if it's broken then optionally it shows broken trend lines as dotted (or you can option not to see broken lines)
- if it finds a continues trend line then it stops searhing more and draw trend line, this is done by checking angles (I did this to make the script faster, otherwise you may get error because of it needs time more than .2sec)
- the script makes this process for each PP
- then shows the trend lines
P.S. it may need 3-10 seconds when you added the script to the chart at first (because of calculations)
Trend lines for CCI:
Trend Lines for OBV
Trend Lines for Momentum:

All Comments are welcome..
Enjoy!
Trend Lines v2Hello Everyone. After working on new and better trend lines script for couple of weeks, finally I am proud to publish Trend Lines v2.
How it works?
- On each bar it finds last 10 higher and lower Pivot Points (PP).
- from first bar to 10. PP it search if a trend line is possible
- for each it starts searching from the last PP.
- it check if drawing a trend line possible or not and also it's broken or not
- if it's broken then optionally it shows broken trend lines as dotted
- if it finds a continues trend line and stop searhing more and draw trend line (I did this to make the script faster, otherwise you may get error because of it needs time more than .2sec)
- the script makes this process for each PP
optionally trend lines may be Solid or Dashed
optionally you may get rid of broken trend lines if you think it's crowded
and sometimes you may not see any trend line on the chart. this means you need to adjust the period for Pivot Points accordingly
also I made a video. if you watch this video you can see how the script works.
Important! after you add this tool to the chart you may need zoom-in and zoom-out to see all lines!
I thought a lot to make it free or not then I decided make it free and open source. you should know there is a lot of effort for this script, so if you think this is usefull please consider a donation ;)
Enjoy!
PnF ChartPoint and Figure (P&F) charts are a time-independent technical analysis tool that focuses purely on price movements, filtering out noise like minor price fluctuations and time. Unlike candlestick or bar charts, P&F charts ignore time and only record significant price changes based on predefined rules.
Key Characteristics of P&F Charts
No Time Axis
Only price movements matter; time is irrelevant.
Columns form based on reversals, not fixed time periods.
Uses X's and O's
X = Rising prices (demand in control)
O = Falling prices (supply in control)
Box Size (Price Increment)
Defines the minimum price change required to plot a new X or O.
Example: If the box size is **1∗∗,astockmustmoveatleast1∗∗,astockmustmoveatleast1 to record a new X or O.
Reversal Amount
Determines how much the price must reverse to switch from X's to O's (or vice versa).
Common reversal settings: 3-box reversal (price must reverse by 3x the box size).
How P&F Charts Work
1. Rising Prices (X-Columns)
A new X is added if the price rises by the box size.
If the price reverses down by the reversal amount, a new O-column starts.
2. Falling Prices (O-Columns)
A new O is added if the price falls by the box size.
If the price reverses up by the reversal amount, a new X-column starts.
Example of a P&F Chart
Suppose:
Box Size = $1
Reversal Amount = 3-box (i.e., $3)
Price Movement Chart Update

About the Script:This Script uses columns instead of traditional X and O boxes.Column Printing (Red vs Green)
This Point and Figure chart alternates between two states:
X columns (green): Represent upward price movements
O columns (red): Represent downward price movements
When Green Columns (X) Are Printed:
A green column is printed when:
The script is in "X mode" (is_x is true)
A new column is created (new_column_created is true)
This happens after the price has reversed upward by at least the "reversal boxes" threshold from a previous O column
When Red Columns (O) Are Printed:
A red column is printed when:
The script is in "O mode" (is_x is false)
A new column is created (new_column_created is true)
This happens after the price has reversed downward by at least the "reversal boxes" threshold from a previous X column
How Trendlines Are Created
The script can draw two types of trendlines when the show_trendlines option is enabled:
Green Trendlines (Uptrend):
A green trendline is created when:
There's a transition from O to X columns (cond2 is true but wasn't true on the previous bar)
This represents the beginning of a potential uptrend
The trendline is solid and extends to the right
Red Trendlines (Downtrend):
A red trendline is created when:
There's a transition from X to O columns (cond1 is true but wasn't true on the previous bar)
This represents the beginning of a potential downtrend
The trendline is dashed and extends to the right
The script maintains two trendline objects - current_trendline and previous_trendline - and deletes the oldest one when a new trendline is created to prevent cluttering the chart.
In summary, this Point and Figure chart tracks price movements in discrete boxes and changes column types (and creates trendlines) when price reverses by a significant amount (defined by the reversal_boxes parameter). The chart also generates alerts when these trend changes occur, helping traders identify potential trend reversals.
No Wick Setup Indicator
**No Wick Setup Indicator**
This is a custom trading indicator designed to identify and signal potential buy and sell opportunities based on candlestick patterns with no wicks. Specifically, it looks for candles with no wicks at the bottom (bullish setup) or no wicks at the top (bearish setup). Here's how it works:
**Key Features:**
- **Bullish Setup**: A green candlestick with no bottom wick (i.e., the open price is equal to the low price of the candle) is considered a potential bullish signal. A trendline is drawn at the bottom of this candle. When the market price returns to this trendline, a buy signal is generated.
- **Bearish Setup**: A red candlestick with no top wick (i.e., the open price is equal to the high price of the candle) is considered a potential bearish signal. A trendline is drawn at the top of this candle. When the market price returns to this trendline, a sell signal is generated.
- **Timeframe**: This indicator works exclusively on the **30-minute timeframe**.
**How It Works:**
1. When a candlestick pattern with no bottom wick (bullish setup) is identified, a trendline is drawn at the low of the candlestick.
2. When a candlestick pattern with no top wick (bearish setup) is identified, a trendline is drawn at the high of the candlestick.
3. The indicator then tracks the market price and waits for it to return to the respective trendline level.
4. **Buy Signal**: When the market price touches or goes below the bullish trendline, a **Buy** signal is displayed on the chart with an upward arrow.
5. **Sell Signal**: When the market price touches or goes above the bearish trendline, a **Sell** signal is displayed on the chart with a downward arrow.
**Visual Elements:**
- **Trendlines**: Horizontal lines drawn at the bottom (bullish) or top (bearish) of the candlesticks with no wick.
- **Buy/Sell Labels**: Labels indicating "Buy" or "Sell" appear when the market price returns to the trendline.
**Why Use This Indicator?**
- This indicator helps identify specific price levels where the market might reverse or consolidate based on candlestick structure, offering potential entry points for trades.
- It allows traders to focus on price action and market behavior without relying on more complex indicators.
Auto Trend ProjectionAuto Trend Projection is an indicator designed to automatically project the short-term trend based on historical price data. It utilizes a dynamic calculation method to determine the slope of the linear regression line, which represents the trend direction. The indicator takes into account multiple length inputs and calculates the deviation and Pearson's R values for each length.
Using the highest Pearson's R value, Auto Trend Projection identifies the optimal length for the trend projection. This ensures that the projected trend aligns closely with the historical price data.
The indicator visually displays the projected trend using trendlines. These trendlines extend into the future, providing a visual representation of the potential price movement in the short term. The color and style of the trendlines can be customized according to user preferences.
Auto Trend Projection simplifies the process of trend analysis by automating the projection of short-term trends. Traders and investors can use this indicator to gain insights into potential price movements and make informed trading decisions.
Please note that Auto Trend Projection is not a standalone trading strategy but a tool to assist in trend analysis. It is recommended to combine it with other technical analysis tools and indicators for comprehensive market analysis.
Overall, Auto Trend Projection offers a convenient and automated approach to projecting short-term trends, empowering traders with valuable insights into the potential price direction.
GKD-C Adaptive-Lookback Phase Change Index [Loxx]Giga Kaleidoscope GKD-C Adaptive-Lookback Phase Change Index is a Confirmation module included in Loxx's "Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System".
█ GKD-C Adaptive-Lookback Phase Change Index
What is the Phase Change Index?
The Phase Change Index (PCI) is a technical indicator that has gained popularity among traders in recent years. It is used to identify market phases and make profitable trades based on momentum and price data. The PCI was developed by M.H. Pee and first introduced in the Stocks & Commodities magazine in 2004.
The PCI is calculated using the 35-day momentum and the 35-day price channel index (PCI). The momentum is the difference between the current day's close and the close 35 days ago, while the PCI measures the distance between the highest high and lowest low over a period of 35 days. By combining these two indicators, traders can identify six possible market phases, each with its own trading strategy.
The formula for calculating the Phase Change Index (PCI) is as follows:
PCI = 100 * (C - L) / (H - L)
Where:
- C is the closing price of the current day
- L is the lowest low over a period of 35 days
- H is the highest high over a period of 35 days
The formula for calculating momentum is as follows:
Momentum = C - Cn
Where:
- C is the closing price of the current day
- Cn is the closing price n days ago, where n = 35 in this case.
The first two phases are characterized by negative momentum, with phase one having a low PCI value (less than 20) and phase two having a high PCI value (greater than 80). In these phases, traders should enter short positions. The next two phases have positive momentum, with phase three having a low PCI value and phase four having a high PCI value. In these phases, traders should enter long positions.
The final two phases are characterized by neutral momentum, with phase five having a low PCI value and phase six having a high PCI value. In these phases, traders should maintain their previous positions until there is a clear signal to enter or exit.
Traders can also use other technical indicators in conjunction with the PCI to confirm signals or filter out false signals. For example, some traders use moving averages or trendlines to confirm trend direction before entering a trade based on the PCI.
In conclusion, the Phase Change Index is a powerful technical indicator that can help traders identify market phases and make profitable trades. By combining momentum and price data, traders can enter long or short positions based on the six possible market phases. Backtesting results have shown that the PCI is robust across parameters, markets, and years. However, it is important to use proper risk management and not rely solely on past profitability when making trading decisions.
What is the Jurik Filter?
The Jurik Filter is a technical analysis tool that is used to filter out market noise and identify trends in financial markets. It was developed by Mark Jurik in the 1990s and is based on a non-linear smoothing algorithm that provides a more accurate representation of price movements.
Traditional moving averages, such as the Simple Moving Average ( SMA ) or Exponential Moving Average ( EMA ), are linear filters that produce a lag between price and the moving average line. This can cause false signals during periods of market volatility , which can result in losses for traders and investors.
The Jurik Filter is designed to address this issue by incorporating a damping factor into the smoothing algorithm. This damping factor adjusts the filter's responsiveness to the changes in price, allowing it to filter out market noise without overshooting price peaks and valleys.
The Jurik Filter is calculated using a mathematical formula that takes into account the current and past prices of an asset, as well as the volatility of the market. This formula incorporates the damping factor and produces a smoother price curve than traditional moving average filters.
One of the advantages of the Jurik Filter is its ability to adjust to changing market conditions. The damping factor can be adjusted to suit different securities and time frames, making it a versatile tool for traders and investors.
Traders and investors often use the Jurik Filter in conjunction with other technical analysis tools, such as the MACD or RSI , to confirm or complement their trading strategies. By filtering out market noise and identifying trends in the financial markets, the Jurik Filter can help improve the accuracy of trading signals and reduce the risks of false signals during periods of market volatility .
Overall, the Jurik Filter is a powerful technical analysis tool that can help traders and investors make more informed decisions about buying and selling securities. By providing a smoother price curve and reducing false signals, it can help improve trading performance and reduce risk in volatile markets.
What is the Adaptive Lookback Period?
The adaptive lookback period is a technique used in technical analysis to adjust the period of an indicator based on changes in market conditions. This technique is particularly useful in volatile or rapidly changing markets where a fixed period may not be optimal for detecting trends or signals.
The concept of the adaptive lookback period is relatively simple. By adjusting the lookback period based on changes in market conditions, traders can more accurately identify trends and signals. This can help traders to enter and exit trades at the right time and improve the profitability of their trading strategies.
The adaptive lookback period works by identifying potential swing points in the market. Once these points are identified, the lookback period is calculated based on the number of swings and a speed parameter. The swing count parameter determines the number of swings that must occur before the lookback period is adjusted. The speed parameter controls the rate at which the lookback period is adjusted, with higher values indicating a more rapid adjustment.
The adaptive lookback period can be applied to a wide range of technical indicators, including moving averages, oscillators, and trendlines. By adjusting the period of these indicators based on changes in market conditions, traders can reduce the impact of noise and false signals, leading to more profitable trades.
In summary, the adaptive lookback period is a powerful technique for traders and analysts looking to optimize their technical indicators. By adjusting the period based on changes in market conditions, traders can more accurately identify trends and signals, leading to more profitable trades. While there are various ways to implement the adaptive lookback period, the basic concept remains the same, and traders can adapt and customize the technique to suit their individual needs and trading styles.
What is the Adaptive-Lookback Phase Change Index?
The combination of adaptive lookback and Jurik filtering is an effective technique used in technical analysis to filter out market noise and improve the accuracy of trading signals. When applied to the Phase Change Index (PCI) indicator, the adaptive lookback period can be used to adjust the period of the indicator based on changes in market conditions. Jurik filtering can then be used to filter out market noise and improve the accuracy of the signals produced by the PCI indicator.
The adaptive lookback period is particularly useful in volatile or rapidly changing markets where a fixed period may not be optimal for detecting trends or signals. By adjusting the lookback period based on changes in market conditions, traders can more accurately identify trends and signals, leading to more profitable trades.
Jurik filtering is a more advanced filtering technique that uses a combination of smoothing and phase shift to produce a more accurate signal. This technique is particularly useful in filtering out market noise and improving the accuracy of trading signals. Jurik filtering can be applied to various indicators, including moving averages, oscillators, and trendlines.
Overall, the combination of adaptive lookback and Jurik filtering is a powerful technique used in technical analysis to filter out market noise and improve the accuracy of trading signals. When applied to the Phase Change Index (PCI) indicator, this technique is particularly effective in identifying trend changes and producing more accurate signals for entry and exit points in trading strategies.
Keep in mind, this is an inverse indicator meaning that above the middle-line/signal is short, below is long.

What are Heiken Ashi "better" candles?
Heiken Ashi "better" candles are a modified version of the standard Heiken Ashi candles, which are a popular charting technique used in technical analysis. Heiken Ashi candles help traders identify trends and potential reversal points by smoothing out price data and reducing market noise. The "better formula" was proposed by Sebastian Schmidt in an article published by BNP Paribas in Warrants & Zertifikate, a German magazine, in August 2004. The aim of this formula is to further improve the smoothing of the Heiken Ashi chart and enhance its effectiveness in identifying trends and reversals.
Standard Heiken Ashi candles are calculated using the following formulas:
Heiken Ashi Close = (Open + High + Low + Close) / 4
Heiken Ashi Open = (Previous Heiken Ashi Open + Previous Heiken Ashi Close) / 2
Heiken Ashi High = Max (High, Heiken Ashi Open, Heiken Ashi Close)
Heiken Ashi Low = Min (Low, Heiken Ashi Open, Heiken Ashi Close)
The "better formula" modifies the standard Heiken Ashi calculation by incorporating additional smoothing, which can help reduce noise and make it easier to identify trends and reversals. The modified formulas for Heiken Ashi "better" candles are as follows:
Better Heiken Ashi Close = (Open + High + Low + Close) / 4
Better Heiken Ashi Open = (Previous Better Heiken Ashi Open + Previous Better Heiken Ashi Close) / 2
Better Heiken Ashi High = Max (High, Better Heiken Ashi Open, Better Heiken Ashi Close)
Better Heiken Ashi Low = Min (Low, Better Heiken Ashi Open, Better Heiken Ashi Close)
Smoothing Factor = 2 / (N + 1), where N is the chosen period for smoothing
Smoothed Better Heiken Ashi Open = (Better Heiken Ashi Open * Smoothing Factor) + (Previous Smoothed Better Heiken Ashi Open * (1 - Smoothing Factor))
Smoothed Better Heiken Ashi Close = (Better Heiken Ashi Close * Smoothing Factor) + (Previous Smoothed Better Heiken Ashi Close * (1 - Smoothing Factor))
The smoothed Better Heiken Ashi Open and Close values are then used to calculate the smoothed Better Heiken Ashi High and Low values, resulting in "better" candles that provide a clearer representation of the market trend and potential reversal points.
It's important to note that, like any other technical analysis tool, Heiken Ashi "better" candles are not foolproof and should be used in conjunction with other indicators and analysis techniques to make well-informed trading decisions.
Heiken Ashi "better" candles, as mentioned previously, provide a clearer representation of market trends and potential reversal points by reducing noise and smoothing out price data. When using these candles in conjunction with other technical analysis tools and indicators, traders can gain valuable insights into market behavior and make more informed decisions.
To effectively use Heiken Ashi "better" candles in your trading strategy, consider the following tips:
Trend Identification: Heiken Ashi "better" candles can help you identify the prevailing trend in the market. When the majority of the candles are green (or another color, depending on your chart settings) and there are no or few lower wicks, it may indicate a strong uptrend. Conversely, when the majority of the candles are red (or another color) and there are no or few upper wicks, it may signal a strong downtrend.
Trend Reversals: Look for potential trend reversals when a change in the color of the candles occurs, especially when accompanied by longer wicks. For example, if a green candle with a long lower wick is followed by a red candle, it could indicate a bearish reversal. Similarly, a red candle with a long upper wick followed by a green candle may suggest a bullish reversal.
Support and Resistance: You can use Heiken Ashi "better" candles to identify potential support and resistance levels. When the candles are consistently moving in one direction and then suddenly change color with longer wicks, it could indicate the presence of a support or resistance level.
Stop-Loss and Take-Profit: Using Heiken Ashi "better" candles can help you manage risk by determining optimal stop-loss and take-profit levels. For instance, you can place your stop-loss below the low of the most recent green candle in an uptrend or above the high of the most recent red candle in a downtrend.
Confirming Signals: Heiken Ashi "better" candles should be used in conjunction with other technical indicators, such as moving averages, oscillators, or chart patterns, to confirm signals and improve the accuracy of your analysis.
In this implementation, you have the choice of AMA, KAMA, or T3 smoothing. These are as follows:
Kaufman Adaptive Moving Average (KAMA)
The Kaufman Adaptive Moving Average (KAMA) is a type of adaptive moving average used in technical analysis to smooth out price fluctuations and identify trends. The KAMA adjusts its smoothing factor based on the market's volatility, making it more responsive in volatile markets and smoother in calm markets. The KAMA is calculated using three different efficiency ratios that determine the appropriate smoothing factor for the current market conditions. These ratios are based on the noise level of the market, the speed at which the market is moving, and the length of the moving average. The KAMA is a popular choice among traders who prefer to use adaptive indicators to identify trends and potential reversals.
Adaptive Moving Average
The Adaptive Moving Average (AMA) is a type of moving average that adjusts its sensitivity to price movements based on market conditions. It uses a ratio between the current price and the highest and lowest prices over a certain lookback period to determine its level of smoothing. The AMA can help reduce lag and increase responsiveness to changes in trend direction, making it useful for traders who want to follow trends while avoiding false signals. The AMA is calculated by multiplying a smoothing constant with the difference between the current price and the previous AMA value, then adding the result to the previous AMA value.
T3
The T3 moving average is a type of technical indicator used in financial analysis to identify trends in price movements. It is similar to the Exponential Moving Average (EMA) and the Double Exponential Moving Average (DEMA), but uses a different smoothing algorithm.
The T3 moving average is calculated using a series of exponential moving averages that are designed to filter out noise and smooth the data. The resulting smoothed data is then weighted with a non-linear function to produce a final output that is more responsive to changes in trend direction.
The T3 moving average can be customized by adjusting the length of the moving average, as well as the weighting function used to smooth the data. It is commonly used in conjunction with other technical indicators as part of a larger trading strategy.
█ Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System
Core components of an NNFX algorithmic trading strategy
The NNFX algorithm is built on the principles of trend, momentum, and volatility. There are six core components in the NNFX trading algorithm:
1. Volatility - price volatility; e.g., Average True Range, True Range Double, Close-to-Close, etc.
2. Baseline - a moving average to identify price trend
3. Confirmation 1 - a technical indicator used to identify trends
4. Confirmation 2 - a technical indicator used to identify trends
5. Continuation - a technical indicator used to identify trends
6. Volatility/Volume - a technical indicator used to identify volatility/volume breakouts/breakdown
7. Exit - a technical indicator used to determine when a trend is exhausted
What is Volatility in the NNFX trading system?
In the NNFX (No Nonsense Forex) trading system, ATR (Average True Range) is typically used to measure the volatility of an asset. It is used as a part of the system to help determine the appropriate stop loss and take profit levels for a trade. ATR is calculated by taking the average of the true range values over a specified period.
True range is calculated as the maximum of the following values:
-Current high minus the current low
-Absolute value of the current high minus the previous close
-Absolute value of the current low minus the previous close
ATR is a dynamic indicator that changes with changes in volatility. As volatility increases, the value of ATR increases, and as volatility decreases, the value of ATR decreases. By using ATR in NNFX system, traders can adjust their stop loss and take profit levels according to the volatility of the asset being traded. This helps to ensure that the trade is given enough room to move, while also minimizing potential losses.
Other types of volatility include True Range Double (TRD), Close-to-Close, and Garman-Klass
What is a Baseline indicator?
The baseline is essentially a moving average, and is used to determine the overall direction of the market.
The baseline in the NNFX system is used to filter out trades that are not in line with the long-term trend of the market. The baseline is plotted on the chart along with other indicators, such as the Moving Average (MA), the Relative Strength Index (RSI), and the Average True Range (ATR).
Trades are only taken when the price is in the same direction as the baseline. For example, if the baseline is sloping upwards, only long trades are taken, and if the baseline is sloping downwards, only short trades are taken. This approach helps to ensure that trades are in line with the overall trend of the market, and reduces the risk of entering trades that are likely to fail.
By using a baseline in the NNFX system, traders can have a clear reference point for determining the overall trend of the market, and can make more informed trading decisions. The baseline helps to filter out noise and false signals, and ensures that trades are taken in the direction of the long-term trend.
What is a Confirmation indicator?
Confirmation indicators are technical indicators that are used to confirm the signals generated by primary indicators. Primary indicators are the core indicators used in the NNFX system, such as the Average True Range (ATR), the Moving Average (MA), and the Relative Strength Index (RSI).
The purpose of the confirmation indicators is to reduce false signals and improve the accuracy of the trading system. They are designed to confirm the signals generated by the primary indicators by providing additional information about the strength and direction of the trend.
Some examples of confirmation indicators that may be used in the NNFX system include the Bollinger Bands, the MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence), and the MACD Oscillator. These indicators can provide information about the volatility, momentum, and trend strength of the market, and can be used to confirm the signals generated by the primary indicators.
In the NNFX system, confirmation indicators are used in combination with primary indicators and other filters to create a trading system that is robust and reliable. By using multiple indicators to confirm trading signals, the system aims to reduce the risk of false signals and improve the overall profitability of the trades.
What is a Continuation indicator?
In the NNFX (No Nonsense Forex) trading system, a continuation indicator is a technical indicator that is used to confirm a current trend and predict that the trend is likely to continue in the same direction. A continuation indicator is typically used in conjunction with other indicators in the system, such as a baseline indicator, to provide a comprehensive trading strategy.
What is a Volatility/Volume indicator?
Volume indicators, such as the On Balance Volume (OBV), the Chaikin Money Flow (CMF), or the Volume Price Trend (VPT), are used to measure the amount of buying and selling activity in a market. They are based on the trading volume of the market, and can provide information about the strength of the trend. In the NNFX system, volume indicators are used to confirm trading signals generated by the Moving Average and the Relative Strength Index. Volatility indicators include Average Direction Index, Waddah Attar, and Volatility Ratio. In the NNFX trading system, volatility is a proxy for volume and vice versa.
By using volume indicators as confirmation tools, the NNFX trading system aims to reduce the risk of false signals and improve the overall profitability of trades. These indicators can provide additional information about the market that is not captured by the primary indicators, and can help traders to make more informed trading decisions. In addition, volume indicators can be used to identify potential changes in market trends and to confirm the strength of price movements.
What is an Exit indicator?
The exit indicator is used in conjunction with other indicators in the system, such as the Moving Average (MA), the Relative Strength Index (RSI), and the Average True Range (ATR), to provide a comprehensive trading strategy.
The exit indicator in the NNFX system can be any technical indicator that is deemed effective at identifying optimal exit points. Examples of exit indicators that are commonly used include the Parabolic SAR, the Average Directional Index (ADX), and the Chandelier Exit.
The purpose of the exit indicator is to identify when a trend is likely to reverse or when the market conditions have changed, signaling the need to exit a trade. By using an exit indicator, traders can manage their risk and prevent significant losses.
In the NNFX system, the exit indicator is used in conjunction with a stop loss and a take profit order to maximize profits and minimize losses. The stop loss order is used to limit the amount of loss that can be incurred if the trade goes against the trader, while the take profit order is used to lock in profits when the trade is moving in the trader's favor.
Overall, the use of an exit indicator in the NNFX trading system is an important component of a comprehensive trading strategy. It allows traders to manage their risk effectively and improve the profitability of their trades by exiting at the right time.
How does Loxx's GKD (Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System) implement the NNFX algorithm outlined above?
Loxx's GKD v1.0 system has five types of modules (indicators/strategies). These modules are:
1. GKD-BT - Backtesting module (Volatility, Number 1 in the NNFX algorithm)
2. GKD-B - Baseline module (Baseline and Volatility/Volume, Numbers 1 and 2 in the NNFX algorithm)
3. GKD-C - Confirmation 1/2 and Continuation module (Confirmation 1/2 and Continuation, Numbers 3, 4, and 5 in the NNFX algorithm)
4. GKD-V - Volatility/Volume module (Confirmation 1/2, Number 6 in the NNFX algorithm)
5. GKD-E - Exit module (Exit, Number 7 in the NNFX algorithm)
(additional module types will added in future releases)
Each module interacts with every module by passing data between modules. Data is passed between each module as described below:
GKD-B => GKD-V => GKD-C(1) => GKD-C(2) => GKD-C(Continuation) => GKD-E => GKD-BT
That is, the Baseline indicator passes its data to Volatility/Volume. The Volatility/Volume indicator passes its values to the Confirmation 1 indicator. The Confirmation 1 indicator passes its values to the Confirmation 2 indicator. The Confirmation 2 indicator passes its values to the Continuation indicator. The Continuation indicator passes its values to the Exit indicator, and finally, the Exit indicator passes its values to the Backtest strategy.
This chaining of indicators requires that each module conform to Loxx's GKD protocol, therefore allowing for the testing of every possible combination of technical indicators that make up the six components of the NNFX algorithm.
What does the application of the GKD trading system look like?
Example trading system:
Backtest: Strategy with 1-3 take profits, trailing stop loss, multiple types of PnL volatility, and 2 backtesting styles
Baseline: Hull Moving Average
Volatility/Volume: Hurst Exponent
Confirmation 1: Adaptive-Lookback Phase Change Index as shown on the chart above
Confirmation 2: Williams Percent Range
Continuation: Fisher Transform
Exit: Rex Oscillator
Each GKD indicator is denoted with a module identifier of either: GKD-BT, GKD-B, GKD-C, GKD-V, or GKD-E. This allows traders to understand to which module each indicator belongs and where each indicator fits into the GKD protocol chain.

Double Supertrend Entry with ADX Filter and ATR Exits/EntriesThe Double Supertrend Entry with ADX Filter and ATR Exits/Entries indicator is a custom trading strategy designed to help traders identify potential buy and sell signals in trending markets. This indicator combines the strengths of multiple technical analysis tools, enhancing the effectiveness of the overall strategy.
Key features:
Two Supertrend Indicators - The indicator includes two Supertrend indicators with customizable parameters. These trend-following indicators calculate upper and lower trendlines based on the ATR and price. Buy signals are generated when the price crosses above both trendlines, and sell signals are generated when the price crosses below both trendlines.
ADX Filter - The Average Directional Index (ADX) is used to filter out weak trends and only generate buy/sell signals when the market exhibits a strong trend. The ADX measures the strength of the trend, and a customizable threshold level ensures that trades are only entered during strong trends.
ATR-based Exits and Entries - The indicator uses the Average True Range (ATR) to set profit target and stop-loss levels. ATR is a measure of market volatility, and these levels help traders determine when to exit a trade to secure profit or minimize loss.
Performance Statistics Table - A table is displayed on the chart, recording and showing the total number of winning trades, losing trades, percentage of profitable trades, average profit, and average loss. This information helps traders evaluate the performance of the strategy over time.
The Double Supertrend Entry with ADX Filter and ATR Exits/Entries indicator is a powerful trend-following strategy that can assist traders in making more informed decisions in the financial markets. By combining multiple technical analysis tools and providing performance statistics, this indicator helps traders improve their trading strategy and evaluate its success.
Auto Trend Lines Breakouts and Bounces Signals and AlertsAuto Trend Lines Breakout with Confirmation Bounce Signals and Alerts
This indicator draws trend lines automatically based on the 2 pivot points, which are calculated based on the specified number of bars (length), which is of course customizable. The indicator then shows you when these trend lines get touched (potential bounce) or “almost touched” (Yes! The script can do that as well!) by the current price of the instrument or broken and then confirmed by the “after break come back touch” – classic! Everything is shown on the chart, and for everything - alarms can be set up with just a few clicks!
Now there are 2 modes here (you can hide all signals as well and just use the trend lines):
1) Current/recent trend lines only: will only show 2 current upper/lower trend lines as well as previous 2 for reference.
2) All time (historical) trend lines: will show 2 current upper/lower trend lines as well as the historical lines from the past and these lines are often very respected by the price!
Besides that, you can set the indicator to show you exactly what you want: Just the trend lines touches/bounces, breaks with confirmation touches/bounces or BOTH.
In addition to that, you can set the indicator to only show you these touches/bounces and breaks with additional confirmations, only if confirmed by :
- Moving Average (customizable length): LONG signals based off the trend lines will only be shown if above EMA, SHORT if below.
- Signals where the candle color confirms the direction of the trade, but the candle type is opposite (like a green colored bearish hammer for example) will be avoided (such candles can be very uncertain/deceptive)
- Signals where the signal candle is doji will be avoided (uncertain)
- Signals will only be shown if supported by the trend line slope (for example, with this feature turned on, if there is an upper line trend line, but the line is actually above, touching the top of the candles and the price touches/crosses it or it gets broken – there will be no signal as even though the trend line is an upper line above candles, it’s slope is positive (going up), if the slope would be down, like a classical down/bearish trend line and the price touches/bounces off it or the line gets broken, only then the indicator will show the signal/alert.
- OFFSET: this one is really cool! With this feature you can hunt these conditions when the price comes very near the trend line, but never touches it. With this setting turned on, with a correct offset amount – you will be able to catch these! You will need to play around with the offset amount, depending on the timeframe/instrument, be quick-n-easy!
The indicator also includes Round Number lines on the chart, which are customizable for any instrument. As you know round numbers are appreciated by the price and can be very nicely used with this indicator looking for combos or using trend lines for signals, while round numbers as partial profit price targets or stop-loss areas.
Important economic events are also shown on the chart as red vertical lines (during these events, volatility can suddenly spike, so it’s best to stay away from trading!)
This is a very powerful indicator with plenty of customizations to find the best approaches, can be used for any instrument and on any timeframe! Awesome for scalping and could be used with swing trading as well! Enjoy!
To add the alerts
-Right-click anywhere on the TradingView chart
-Click on Add alert
-Condition: Auto Trend Lines Breakout with Confirmation Bounce Signals and Alerts
-Alert name: DO NOT TOUCH THIS
-Hit “Create”
-Note: If you change ANY Settings within the indicator – you must DELETE the current alert and create a new one per steps above, otherwise it will continue triggering alerts per old Settings!
A few strategies how this indicator can be used (these were actually tested and showed awesome results!):
1) Bounce Scalping: Simply hunting bounces off the trend lines. Often the price will slightly cross the trend line and then immediately bounces from it for nice little price move, which is great for scalping or if you for example take 2/3s off the position and leave the remaining, often with such bounces – the price may reverse from the trend line and go in the opposite direction considerably.
2) Break-Bounce-Confirm: this is the “Breaks with Confirmation Bounce” option of the script which fully automates the classical trend lines break confirmation, where the trend line is broken (which could be a fake out), so you wait for a touch/bounce of that trend line back from the initial break and open the position right there or wait and see if after the touch/bounce back, the price once again goes into the direction of the break.
For stop-loss and take-profit areas, you can use:
1) Pivots (these are marked with red and green crosses on the chart), which are used to draw the actual trend lines.
2) The actual trend lines themselves (if one gets broken + confirmation, you can set your stop-loss if that same line gets broken again in the opposite direction | similar for take-profit, you can take profit or partial profit at next trend line on the chart if the price reaches it.
3) Use the Round Numbers included, for example: use the closest round number as a visual soft stop-loss and the furthest one away as a visual soft take-profit.
You can try combining this indicator with divergence, stochastic, Bollinger bands, pretty much anything!
If you wish to try this out for a week or so – please reach out and I will give you access.
Trend LinesHello Everyone.
This is my first script on TV, hope you find it useful.
How it works?
- On each bar it finds last x (depending on your settings) higher and lower Pivot Points ( PP ).
- It searches for possible trend line from oldest PP to newest, once found it stops and draws the line.
- The higher the time frame the lower the number of PP needed. Play around with the number of PP and left/right bars needed to confirm a PP and you get different results.

If we are wondering how the trendlines drawn on the hayatguzel indicator look like on the graph, we should use this indicator. Trendlines that are linear in Hg (hayatguzel) are actually curved in the graph.
"hayatguzel curve" indicator has capable of plotting horizontal levels but not trendlines in hg indicator. But "hayatguzel trendycurve" indicator has capable of plotting (on the chart) trendlines in hg.
First of all, we start by determining the coordinates from the trendlines drawn in hg. The coordinate of trendline beginings is x1,y1. In the continuation of the trendline, the coordinate of the second point taken from anywhere on the trendline is defined as x2,y2. In order to find the x1 and x2 values, the gray bar index chart must be open. After reading the values, the bar index chart can be turned off in the settings. The x coordinates of the trendlines will be the values in this gray bar index graph. You can read these coordinates from the gray numbers in the hg-trendycurve setting at the top left of the graph. The y values are the y axis values in the hg indicator.
It should be noted that the ema value in the hayatguzel trendycurve indicator must be the same as the ema value in the hg indicator.
Hayatguzel trendycurve indicator is not an indicator that can be used on its own, it should be used together with hayatguzel indicator.

Hayatguzel indikatöründe çizilen trendline'ların grafik üzerine nasıl göründüğünü merak ediyorsak bu indikatörü kullanmalıyız. Hg'de doğrusal olan trendline'lar doğal olarak grafikte eğriseller.
Hayatguzel curve indikatöründe hg'deki sadece yatay seviyeler grafiğe dökülürken bu hayatguzel trendycurve indikatörü ile hg'deki trendline'lar da grafiğe dökülebiliyor.
Öncelikle hg'de çizilen trendline'lardan koordinatları belirlemek ile işe başlıyoruz. Trendline'ların başladığı yerin koordinatı x1,y1'dir. Trendline'ın devamında trendline üzerinde herhangi bir yerden alınan ikinci noktanın koordinatı da x2,y2 olarak tanımlandı. x1 ve x2 değerlerini bulabilmek için gri bar index grafiğinin açık olması gerekmektedir. Değerleri okuduktan sonra bar index grafiği ayarlardan kapatılabilir. Trendline'ların x koordinatları bu gri renkli bar index grafiğindeki değerler olacaktır. Bu koordinatları grafikte sol üstte bulunan hg-trendycurve ayalarındaki gri sayılardan okuyabilirsiniz. y değerleri ise hg indikatöründeki y ekseni değerleridir.
Unutulmamalı ki hayatguzel trendycurve indikatöründeki ema değeri hg indikatöründeki ema değeri ile aynı olmalıdır.
Hayatguzel trendycurve indikatörü kendi başına kullanılabilecek bir indikatör olmayıp hayatguzel indikatörü ile beraber kullanılması gerekmektedir.
Demand IndexThis is an interpretation of James Sibbet's demand index (DI). The indicator does an excellent job of displaying:
Divergences between DI and price. A divergence between the DI and prices suggests an approaching change in the price trend.
Trendline analysis of DI showing levels of support/resistance, can help determine changes in trend.
As a leading indicator DI trendlines are often broken ahead of price trendlines.
Zero-line crossings can confirm previous signals as a lagging indicator.

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