SPX500 Quick Drop & Rise AlertsSimple script thats been adjusted for 1 minute trading on spx500.
It will show you and signal to you:
dropThreshold: how much the price must rise or fall (in percent) to trigger a signal. Default is 0.05 → 5%.
lookbackBars: how many bars back to compare against. Default is 1 (i.e., compare the current close to the previous bar’s close).
Theirs a few ways to use this, you might want to use your MA 238 as a reference point. Use it as a target or a level to bounce or reject from. Then use this indicator to help show you where the market energy is flowing.
Do some backtesting and see what you see. Only use it for New York open times would probably be best.
Youll have to change your mentality depending on if the market is trending / ranging ect of course.
Shooting Star ORB🧠 Indicator Name: "First Candle Shooting Star + ORB"
📌 Purpose
This indicator detects when the first candle of the day forms a Shooting Star pattern and then monitors for a breakout beyond its range. It visually marks the pattern and the breakout with boxes and provides real-time alerts and a status table.
🔍 What It Does Step-by-Step
1. 📅 Detects the Start of a New Trading Day
Uses ta.change(time("D")) to identify a new trading day.
When a new day starts, it checks if the very first candle of the session is a Shooting Star.
2. 🕯️ Identifies a Shooting Star Pattern
A candle is labeled a Shooting Star if:
It has a small body compared to the full candle range.
It has a long upper shadow at least 2× the body.
It has a short or tiny lower shadow.
All these criteria are adjustable through inputs.
3. 📦 Draws a Box for the First Candle Range
If a Shooting Star is found in the first candle of the day:
It draws a red shaded box covering the high and low of that candle.
The box visually marks the potential Opening Range.
4. 💥 Detects Breakout from Shooting Star Candle
After the first candle:
If price moves above or below the range by a specified % (like 1%), it flags a breakout.
A blue shaded box is drawn at the breakout candle for visual confirmation.
5. 🔔 Alerts
🔴 Shooting Star Detected: Alerts when the first candle is a shooting star.
🔵 Breakout Detected: Alerts when the price breaks out of the first candle’s range.
6. 📊 Displays Real-Time Info Table
A small table is shown on the chart:
🕯️ Pattern: “Shooting Star” or blank
💥 Breakout: “Yes” or “No”
⏱️ The timeframe being analyzed (e.g., “5” for 5-minute)

Adjustable Vertical LinesThe script provides an indicator which will plot lines - 15 min, 30 min and 60 min. You can customize the time intervals and go to as low as one minute, but I found the 15-minute and 30-minute intervals works best for me when trying to find setups, and the lower time-frame intervals, is just pointless to use if you're not scalping on the seconds timeframe.
You can customize inputs for the line style. Line thickness, colour, etc.
I've seen this work using the OBR theory and applying it to the one-minute candle then looking for other confluences like order blocks, or breakers, FVGs, BOS/CHoC for further confirmation for scalping. It's important to backtest though and see for yourself.
Thanks for the boost.
CNN Statistical Trading System [PhenLabs]📌 DESCRIPTION
An advanced pattern recognition system utilizing Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) principles to identify statistically significant market patterns and generate high-probability trading signals.
CNN Statistical Trading System transforms traditional technical analysis by applying machine learning concepts directly to price action. Through six specialized convolution kernels, it detects momentum shifts, reversal patterns, consolidation phases, and breakout setups simultaneously. The system combines these pattern detections using adaptive weighting based on market volatility and trend strength, creating a sophisticated composite score that provides both directional bias and signal confidence on a normalized -1 to +1 scale.
🚀 CONCEPTS
• Built on Convolutional Neural Network pattern recognition methodology adapted for financial markets
• Six specialized kernels detect distinct price patterns: upward/downward momentum, peak/trough formations, consolidation, and breakout setups
• Activation functions create non-linear responses with tanh-like behavior, mimicking neural network layers
• Adaptive weighting system adjusts pattern importance based on current market regime (volatility < 2% and trend strength)
• Multi-confirmation signals require CNN threshold breach (±0.65), RSI boundaries, and volume confirmation above 120% of 20-period average
🔧 FEATURES
Six-Kernel Pattern Detection:
Simultaneous analysis of upward momentum, downward momentum, peak/resistance, trough/support, consolidation, and breakout patterns using mathematically optimized convolution kernels.
Adaptive Neural Architecture:
Dynamic weight adjustment based on market volatility (ATR/Price) and trend strength (EMA differential), ensuring optimal performance across different market conditions.
Professional Visual Themes:
Four sophisticated color palettes (Professional, Ocean, Sunset, Monochrome) with cohesive design language. Default Monochrome theme provides clean, distraction-free analysis.
Confidence Band System:
Upper and lower confidence zones at 150% of threshold values (±0.975) help identify high-probability signal areas and potential exhaustion zones.
Real-Time Information Panel:
Live display of CNN score, market state with emoji indicators, net momentum, confidence percentage, and RSI confirmation with dynamic color coding based on signal strength.
Individual Feature Analysis:
Optional display of all six kernel outputs with distinct visual styles (step lines, circles, crosses, area fills) for advanced pattern component analysis.
User Guide
• Monitor CNN Score crossing above +0.65 for long signals or below -0.65 for short signals with volume confirmation
• Use confidence bands to identify optimal entry zones - signals within confidence bands carry higher probability
• Background intensity reflects signal strength - darker backgrounds indicate stronger conviction
• Enter long positions when blue circles appear above oscillator with RSI < 75 and volume > 120% average
• Enter short positions when dark circles appear below oscillator with RSI > 25 and volume confirmation
• Information panel provides real-time confidence percentage and momentum direction for position sizing decisions
• Individual feature plots allow granular analysis of specific pattern components for strategy refinement
💡Conclusion
CNN Statistical Trading System represents the evolution of technical analysis, combining institutional-grade pattern recognition with retail accessibility. The six-kernel architecture provides comprehensive market pattern coverage while adaptive weighting ensures relevance across all market conditions. Whether you’re seeking systematic entry signals or advanced pattern confirmation, this indicator delivers mathematically rigorous analysis with intuitive visual presentation.
IU Pivot Zones + GMADESCRIPTION:
IU Pivot Zones + GMA is a smart price-action-based indicator that detects meaningful support and resistance zones formed through pivot highs/lows while combining them with dynamic zone generation and Geometric Moving Averages (GMA). This tool is built to help traders visualize institutional breakout/rejection zones with clear, logical mapping and live box management — helping you stay ahead of the move.
The indicator is designed for intraday, swing, and positional traders who want to enhance their trading decisions with visual confluence zones and market structure logic.
USER INPUTS
* Pivot point Lengths: Number of bars used to detect pivot highs/lows
* Zone length: Controls the thickness of the support/resistance zone; higher values create wider zones
* GMA Length: Period for calculating the geometric moving averages based on highs and lows
* Allow Bar/candle Color: Enables or disables special candle coloring when price interacts with the zones
LOGIC OF THE INDICATOR:
* Detects pivot highs and pivot lows using the user-defined length
* Compares consecutive pivot levels to determine if they fall within a valid ATR-based price band to form a zone
* If confirmed, the indicator dynamically plots a resistance or support box between those pivot points, colored respectively (red for resistance, green for support)
* The boxes update in real-time based on price action. If price respects the zone, the box extends forward. If price breaks the zone, the box disappears
* Geometric Moving Averages (GMA) based on logarithmic mean of highs and lows are plotted to offer a trend bias
* Candles that touch the top of the support zone are colored yellow, and those touching the bottom of the resistance zone are orange, enhancing zone reaction visibility
WHY IT IS UNIQUE:
* Uses logarithmic-based GMAs, which are smoother and less reactive than traditional moving averages
* ATR-based zone logic makes it adaptive to volatility instead of using fixed-width zones
* Combines structural levels (pivots), volatility filters (ATR), and trend overlays (GMA) in one unified tool
* Real-time zone extension and disappearance logic based on price interaction
HOW USER CAN BENEFIT FROM IT:
* Spot high-probability breakout or reversal zones that price respects consistently
* Use the GMA cloud for trend confirmation — for example, bullish bias when price is above both GMAs
* Build price action strategies around zone touches, breakouts, or rejections
* Use color-coded candles as real-time alerts for potential entry/exit signals near S/R levels
* Save time by avoiding manual marking of zones on charts across timeframes

Sessions [Plug&Play]This indicator automatically highlights the three major FX trading sessions—Asia, London, and New York—on your chart and, at the close of each session, draws right-extended horizontal rays at that session’s high and low. It’s designed to help you visually identify when price is trading within each session’s range and to quickly see where the highest and lowest prices occurred before the next major session begins.
Key Features:
Session Boxes
Draws a semi-transparent box around each session’s timeframe (Asia, London, New York) based on your local UTC offset.
Each box dynamically expands in real time: as new candles form during the session, the box’s top and bottom edges update to match the highest high and lowest low seen so far in that session.
When the session ends, the box remains on your chart, anchored to the exact candles that formed its boundaries.
High/Low Rays
As soon as a session closes (e.g., London session ends at 17:00 UTC+0 by default), two horizontal rays are drawn at that session’s final high and low.
These rays are “pinned” to the exact candles where the high/low occurred, so they stay in place when you scroll or zoom.
Each ray extends indefinitely to the right, providing a clear reference of the key supply/demand levels created during that session.
Session Labels
Optionally places a small “London,” “New York,” or “Asia” label at the top edge of each completed session’s box.
Labels are horizontally centered within the session’s box and use a contrasting, easy-to-read font color.
Customizable Appearance
Show/Hide Each Session: Toggle display of London, New York, and Asia sessions separately.
Time Ranges: By default, London is 08:00–17:00 (UTC), New York is 13:00–22:00 (UTC), and Asia is 00:00–07:00 (UTC). You can override each session’s start/end times using the “Time Range” picker.
Color & Opacity: Assign custom colors to each session. Choose a global “Dark,” “Medium,” or “Light” opacity preset to adjust box fill transparency and border shading.
Show/Hide Labels & Outlines: Turn the text labels and the box borders on or off independently.
UTC Offset Support
If your local broker feed or price data is not in UTC, simply adjust the “UTC Offset (+/–)” input. The indicator will recalculate session start/end times relative to your chosen offset.
How to Use:
Add the Indicator:
Open TradingView’s Pine Editor, paste in this script, and click “Add to Chart.”
By default, you’ll see three translucent boxes appear once each session begins (Asia, London, New York).
Watch in Real Time:
As soon as a session starts, its box will appear anchored to the first candle. The top and bottom of the box expand if new extremes occur.
When the session closes, the final box remains visible and two horizontal rays mark that session’s high and low.
Analyze Key Levels:
Use the high- and low-level rays to gauge session liquidity zones—areas where stop orders, breakouts, or reversals often occur.
For example, if London’s high is significantly above current price, it may act as resistance in the New York session.
Customize to Your Needs:
Toggle specific sessions on/off (e.g., if you only care about London and New York).
Change each session’s color to match your chart theme.
Adjust the “UTC Offset” so sessions align with your local time.
Disable labels or box borders if you prefer a cleaner look.
Inputs Overview:
Show London/New York/Asia Session (bool): Show or hide each session’s box and its high/low rays.
Time Range (session): Defines the start/end of each session in “HHMM–HHMM” (24h) format.
Colour (color): Custom color for each session’s box fill, border, and high/low rays.
Show Session Labels (bool): Toggle the “London,” “New York,” “Asia” text that appears at the top of each completed box.
Show Range Outline (bool): Toggle the box border (if off, only a translucent fill is drawn).
Opacity Preset (Dark/Medium/Light): Controls transparency of box fill and border.
UTC Offset (+/–) (int): Adjusts session times for different time zones (e.g., +1 for UTC+1).
Why It’s Useful:
Quickly Identify Session Activity: Visually distinguish when each major trading session is active, then compare price action across sessions.
Pinpoint High/Low Liquidity Levels: Drawn rays highlight where the market hit its extremes—critical zones for stop orders or breakout entries.
Multi-Timeframe Context: By seeing historical session boxes and rays, you can locate recurring supply/demand areas, overlap zones, or session re-tests.
Fully Automated Workflow: Once added to your chart, the script does all the work of tracking session boundaries and drawing high/low lines—no manual box or line drawing necessary.
Example Use Cases:
London Breakout Traders: See where London’s high/low formed, then wait for price to revisit those levels during the New York session.
Range Breakout Strategies: If price consolidates inside the London box, use the boxed extremes as immediate targets for breakout entries.
Intraday Liquidity Swings: During quieter hours, watch Asia’s high/low to identify potential support/resistance before London’s opening.
Overlap Zones: Compare London’s range with Asia’s range to find areas of confluence—high-probability reversal or continuation zones.
Buying/Selling ProxyTiltFolio Buying/Selling Proxy
This simple but effective indicator visualizes short-term buying or selling pressure using log returns over a rolling window.
How It Works:
Calculates the average of logarithmic returns over the past N bars (default: 20).
Positive values suggest sustained buying pressure; negative values indicate selling pressure.
Plotted as a color-coded histogram:
✅ Green = net buying
❌ Red = net selling
Why Use It:
This proxy helps traders gauge directional bias and momentum beneath the surface of price action — especially useful for confirming breakout strength, timing entries, or filtering signals.
- Inspired by academic return normalization, but optimized for practical use.
- Use alongside TiltFolio's Breakout Trend indicator for added context.

Candle Count RSI📈 Candle Count RSI — A Dual-Perspective Momentum Engine
The Candle Count RSI is a custom-built momentum oscillator that expands on the classic Relative Strength Index (RSI) by introducing a directional-only variant that tracks the frequency of bullish or bearish closes, rather than price magnitude. It gives traders a second lens through which to evaluate momentum, trend conviction, and subtle divergences—often invisible to traditional price-based RSI.
💡 What Makes It Unique?
While the standard RSI is sensitive to the size of price changes, the Candle Count RSI is magnitude-blind. It counts candle closes above/below open over a lookback period, generating a purer signal of directional consistency. To enhance signal fidelity, it includes a streak amplifier, dynamically weighting extended runs of green or red candles to reflect intensity of market bias—without introducing artificial price sensitivity.
This dual-RSI approach allows for:
- Divergence detection between directional bias and price magnitude.
- Smoother trend confirmation in choppy markets.
- Cleaner visual cues using dynamic glow and background logic.
📐 How Standard RSI Actually Works (Not What You Think)
RSI doesn’t just check if price went up or down over a span—it checks each individual candle and tracks whether it closed higher or lower than the one before. Here's how it works under the hood:
1.) For each bar, it calculates the change from the previous close.
2.) It separates those changes into gains (upward moves) and losses (downward moves).
3.) Then it computes a smoothed average of those gains and losses (usually using an RMA).
4.) It calculates the Relative Strength (RS) as:
RS = AvgGain / AvgLoss
5.) Finally, it plugs that into the RSI formula:
RSI = 100 - (100 / (1 + RS))
⚖️ What Does the 50 Line Mean?
- The RSI scale runs from 0 to 100, but 50 is the true neutral zone:
- RSI > 50 means average gains outweigh average losses over the period.
- RSI < 50 means losses dominate.
- RSI ≈ 50? The market is balanced—momentum is indecisive, no clear trend bias.
- This makes 50 a powerful midline for trend filters, directional bias tools, and divergence detection—especially when paired with alternative RSI logic like Candle Count RSI.
🔧 Inputs and Customization
- Everything is fully modular and customizable:
🧠 Core Settings
- RSI Length: Used for both the standard RSI and Candle Count RSI.
📉 Standard RSI
- Classic RSI calculation based on price changes.
- Optional WMA smoothing to reduce noise.
- Glow effect toggle with custom intensity.
🕯 Candle Count RSI
- Computes RSI using only the count of up/down candles.
- Optional smoothing for stability.
- Amplifies streaks (e.g., multiple consecutive bullish candles increase strength).
- Glow effect toggle with adjustable strength.
🎇 Glow Visuals
- Background glow (subpane and/or main chart).
- Fades based on RSI distance from the 50 midpoint.
- Independent color settings for bull and bear bias.
🧬 Divergence Zones
- Detects when Candle RSI and Standard RSI diverge.
- Highlights:
- Bullish Divergence: Candle RSI > 50, Standard RSI < threshold.
- Bearish Divergence: Candle RSI < 50, Standard RSI > threshold.
- Background fill optionally shown in subpane and/or main chart.
📊 Directional Histogram
- MACD-style histogram showing the difference between the two RSI lines.
- Color-coded based on directional agreement:
- Both rising → green.
- Both falling → red.
- Conflict → yellow.
🧠 Under the Hood — How It Works
🔹 Standard RSI
- Classic ta.rsi() applied to close prices, optionally WMA-smoothed.
🔹 Candle Count RSI (CCR)
- Counts how many candles closed up/down over the period.
- Computes a magnitude-free RSI from these counts.
- Applies a streak-based multiplier to exaggerate trend strength during consecutive green/red runs.
- Optionally smoothed with WMA to create a clean signal line.
- This makes CCR ideal for detecting true directional bias without being faked out by volatile price spikes.
🔹 Divergence Logic
- When Candle RSI and Standard RSI disagree strongly across defined thresholds, background fills highlight early signs of momentum decay or hidden accumulation/distribution.
🔹 Glow Logic
- Glow zones are controlled by a master toggle and drawn with dynamic transparency:
- Further from 50 = stronger conviction = darker glow.
- Shows up in subpane and/or main chart depending on user preference.
📷 Suggested Use Case / Visual Setup
- Use in conjunction with your primary price action system.
- Watch for divergences between the Candle Count RSI and Standard RSI for early trend reversals.
- Use glow bias zones on the main chart to get subconscious directional cues during fast scalping.
- Histogram helps you confirm when both RSI variants agree—useful during strong trending conditions.
🛠️ Tip for Traders
- This tool isn’t trying to “predict” price. It’s designed to visualize hidden market psychology—when buyers are showing up with consistent pressure, or when momentum has a disconnect between conviction and magnitude. Use this to filter entries, spot weak rallies, or sense when a trend is about to break down.
⚠️ WARNING
- Not for use with Heikin Ashi, Renko, etc.).
🧠 Summary
Candle Count RSI is not just another mashup—it's a precision-built, dual-perspective oscillator that captures directional conviction using real candle behavior. Whether you're scalping intraday or swing trading momentum, this script helps clarify trend integrity and exposes hidden weaknesses with elegance and clarity.

Prev Candle Before Biggest Body (3-7am EST)This indicator automatically identifies and marks, for each trading day, the candle immediately preceding the largest open-to-close movement (in pips) during the key London session window from 3:00am to 7:00am EST (New York time). The largest candle is determined by the absolute difference between its open and close prices, measured in pips. The candle just before this “biggest” move is highlighted with a distinctive pink flag above the bar. This tool is especially useful for traders seeking to analyze pre-breakout price action or to identify key levels and setups that occur right before significant volatility during the early London session.
VIDYA (Chande)This script brings you VIDYA – the Variable Index Dynamic Average, developed by Tushar Chande. It’s not your typical moving average. Unlike the standard SMA or EMA, VIDYA adapts its speed and smoothness based on real-time market momentum using the Chande Momentum Oscillator (CMO).
Think of it like a moving average that gets faster during strong trends and slows down during sideways or choppy markets — just like how a smart trader would!
🧠 What Makes VIDYA Different?
Traditional moving averages use fixed smoothing, so they lag more during big moves or chop during weak trends.
VIDYA fixes that by adapting its behavior dynamically:
When momentum is strong → VIDYA reacts faster 🚀
When momentum is weak → VIDYA smooths out the noise 🧘
⚙️ How It Works (Explained Simply):
1️⃣ CMO Calculation (Chande Momentum Oscillator):
We look at the past cmoLength candles (default 9) and:
i) Add up all the positive price changes (gains)
ii) Add up all the negative price changes (losses)
iii) Use those to compute a normalized momentum score between -100 and +100
📌 CMO = (Gains - Losses) / (Gains + Losses)
• This gives us a momentum reading that powers the next step.
2️⃣ Dynamic Alpha Smoothing:
• We convert the absolute value of the CMO into an alpha — this is the "speed" of the VIDYA.
📌 Higher momentum = higher alpha → faster response
📌 Lower momentum = lower alpha → smoother behavior
3️⃣ VIDYA Formula:
• Finally, we apply the smoothing:
📌 VIDYA = α × Price + (1 - α) × Previous VIDYA
• This equation continuously adapts to market behavior — trending or ranging.
📊 What’s Plotted?
🟠 The VIDYA Line:
A smooth, responsive line plotted on your price chart that adjusts in real-time with price momentum.
🔎 How to Use It:
✅ Use it like a moving average, but smarter:
• Price > VIDYA and rising → Trend is likely up
• Price < VIDYA and falling → Trend is likely down
• Flat VIDYA = Possible consolidation or sideways market
✅ Combine with:
• Breakout strategies (VIDYA confirms momentum)
• Reversal entries (look for price crossing VIDYA)
• Volatility filters (ignore signals when VIDYA flattens)
🧪 Bonus Tip:
Pair this with a volume indicator (like my Volume Confirmation Bars or Volume Strength Highlight) to confirm whether momentum is backed by real participation or just a fakeout.
📩 Want alerts, dual-timeframe overlays, or VIDYA with other base inputs (like typical price or HLC3)? Let me know — happy to expand this for your setup!
Stay adaptive, not reactive — trade smarter with VIDYA! 🧠📉📈
Volume Strength HighlightThis simple script helps you quickly see when volume is strong or weak on the chart — it highlights the candles based on how the current volume compares to the recent average 📊
🔍 Here's what it does:
Calculates a 20-bar average volume
Marks candles green or red if volume is much higher than average (more than 1.5x)
Marks candles gray if volume is very low (less than 0.5x the average)
Normal candles stay unchanged
You can also turn on a basic volume plot in a separate panel if you want to compare visually (just toggle it in settings).
⚠️ It’s not a buy/sell signal — just a helper to see when the market is waking up or going quiet.
Not perfect but works well with other indicators! Let me know if you like it or have ideas to add more 💡
Market Sleep ZonesHey traders 👋
This script shows when the market is in a "sleeping" or low volatility phase. I call it Market Sleep Zones 😴
It looks at the average price movement over a window (default 20 bars), and if the price changes are small (under a % threshold you set), it highlights that area on the chart with a soft green background.
💡 This can help spot moments when the market is quiet — maybe before a breakout or just moving sideways.
It also places labels to mark where these zones start and end, so it's easy to track.
You can change:
The window size (how many bars to look back)
The breath depth (how much price is allowed to move before it’s "not sleeping" anymore)
Not perfect, but helpful if you want to avoid getting chopped in low-volatility zones or want to prepare for when the market "wakes up" 😄
Let me know if you find it useful or have ideas to improve it!

XAU/USD Custom Levels
XAU/USD Dynamic Support & Resistance Levels
This indicator automatically draws horizontal support and resistance levels for Gold (XAU/USD) based on the current market price, eliminating the need for manual price range adjustments.
**Key Features:**
- **Dynamic Price Range**: Automatically calculates levels above and below the current price using a customizable percentage range (default 5%)
- **Multi-Tier Level System**: Four distinct level types with different visual styling:
- Major Levels (100s) - Blue, thick lines
- Sub Levels (50s) - Red, medium lines
- Sub-Sub Levels (25s) - Yellow, thin lines
- Mini Levels (12.5s) - Gray, dotted lines
- **Fully Customizable**: Adjust range percentage, step size, colors, and line history through input settings
- **Universal Compatibility**: Works at any gold price level - whether $1800, $2500, $3300 or beyond
**How It Works:**
The script centers the level grid around the current closing price and extends lines from a specified number of bars back to the right edge of the chart. The hierarchical level system helps identify key psychological price points and potential support/resistance zones commonly used in gold trading.
**Settings:**
- Price Range %: Control how far above/below current price to draw levels (1-20%)
- Level Step Size: Adjust spacing between levels (1.0-50.0)
- Bars Back: Set how far back in history to start the lines
- Color Customization: Personalize colors for each level type
Perfect for gold traders who need clean, automatically-updating support and resistance levels without manual configuration.

Brian Shannon 5-Day MA BackgroundBrian Shannon 5-Day Moving Average with Dynamic Background Fill
OVERVIEW
This indicator implements Brian Shannon's renowned 5-Day Moving Average methodology from his acclaimed work "Technical Analysis Using Multiple Timeframes." The indicator provides instant visual clarity on short-term trend direction and momentum, making it an essential tool for swing traders and active investors.
KEY FEATURES
• True 5-Day Moving Average: Dynamically calculates the correct period across all timeframes (1min, 5min, 15min, 1H, etc.)
• Visual Price-to-MA Relationship: Color-coded fill between price and the moving average
- Green Fill: Price is above the 5-day MA (bullish short-term momentum)
- Red Fill: Price is below the 5-day MA (bearish short-term momentum)
• Multi-Timeframe Compatible: Works seamlessly on any chart timeframe while maintaining the true 5-day calculation
BRIAN SHANNON'S STRATEGIC APPLICATION
Primary Uses:
1. Trend Identification: Quickly identify short-term momentum shifts
2. Dynamic Support/Resistance: The 5-day MA acts as a moving support level in uptrends and resistance in downtrends
3. Entry Signal Confirmation: Look for pullbacks to the 5-day MA as potential entry points in trending stocks
4. Multi-Timeframe Analysis: Essential component of Shannon's multiple timeframe approach
Perfect Combination with:
• AVWAP (Anchored Volume Weighted Average Price): Use together to identify high-probability setups where price is above both the 5-day MA and AVWAP
• Longer-term Moving Averages: Combine with 20-day and 50-day MAs for complete trend analysis
• Volume Analysis: Confirm 5-day MA signals with volume patterns
TRADING APPLICATIONS
For Swing Traders:
• Bullish Setup: Price above 5-day MA + above AVWAP + above longer-term MAs = Strong uptrend
• Bearish Setup: Price below 5-day MA + below AVWAP + below longer-term MAs = Strong downtrend
• Entry Timing: Use pullbacks to the 5-day MA as entry opportunities in the direction of the primary trend
For Day Traders:
• Quick visual confirmation of intraday momentum
• Dynamic support/resistance levels for scalping opportunities
• Clear trend bias for directional trades
WHY THIS INDICATOR WORKS
Brian Shannon's approach emphasizes that the 5-day moving average represents the short-term sentiment of market participants. When price is consistently above this level, it indicates buyers are in control of short-term price action. Conversely, when price falls below, it suggests selling pressure is dominating.
The visual fill makes it immediately obvious:
• How far price is from the 5-day MA
• The strength of the current short-term trend
• Potential areas where price might find support or resistance
BEST PRACTICES
1. Never use in isolation - Always combine with longer timeframe analysis
2. Volume confirmation - Look for volume expansion on moves away from the 5-day MA
3. Multiple timeframe approach - Check higher timeframes for overall trend direction
4. Combine with AVWAP - Most powerful when both indicators align
INSTALLATION NOTES
This indicator automatically adjusts for any timeframe, ensuring you always get a true 5-trading-day moving average regardless of whether you're viewing 1-minute or hourly charts.

AutoFib Breakout Strategy for Uptrend AssetsThis trading strategy is designed to help you catch powerful upward moves on assets that are in a long-term uptrend, such as Gold (XAUUSD). It uses a popular technical tool called the Fibonacci Extension, combined with a trend filter and a risk-managed exit system.
✅ When to Use This Strategy
• Works best on higher timeframes: Daily (1D), 3-Day (3D), or Weekly (W).
• Best used on uptrending assets like Gold.
• Designed for swing trading – holding trades from a few days to weeks.
📊 How It Works
1. Find the Trend
We only want to trade in the direction of the trend.
• The strategy uses the 200-period EMA (Exponential Moving Average) to identify if the market is in an uptrend.
• If the price is above the 200 EMA, we consider it an uptrend and allow long trades.
2. Identify Breakout Levels
• The strategy detects recent high and low pivot points to draw Fibonacci extension levels.
• It focuses on the 1.618 Fibonacci level, which is often a target in strong trends.
• When the price breaks above this level in an uptrend, it signals a potential momentum breakout – a good time to buy.
3. Enter a Trade
• The strategy enters a long (buy) position when the price closes above the 1.618 Fibonacci level and the market is in an uptrend (above the 200 EMA).
4. Manage Risk Automatically
• The trade includes a stop-loss set to 1x the ATR (Average True Range) below the entry price – this protects against sudden drops.
• It sets a take-profit at 3x the ATR above the entry – aiming for higher rewards than risks.
⚠️ Important Notes
• 📈 Higher Timeframes Preferred: This strategy works best on Daily (D), 3-Day (3D), and Weekly (W) charts, especially on Gold (XAUUSD).
• 🧪 Not for Deep Backtesting: Due to the nature of how pivot points and Fib levels are calculated, this strategy may not perform well in backtesting simulations (because the historical calculations can shift). It is better used for live analysis and forward testing.
Not-So-Average True Range (nsATR)Not-So-Average True Range (nsATR)
*By Sherlock_MacGyver*
---
Long Story Short
The nsATR is a complete overhaul of traditional ATR analysis. It was designed to solve the fundamental issues with standard ATR, such as lag, lack of contextual awareness, and equal treatment of all volatility events.
Key innovations include:
* A smarter ATR that reacts dynamically when price movement exceeds normal expectations.
* Envelope zones that distinguish between moderate and extreme volatility conditions.
* A long-term ATR baseline that adds historical context to current readings.
* A compression detection system that flags when the market is coiled and ready to break out.
This indicator is designed for traders who want to see volatility the way it actually behaves — contextually, asymmetrically, and with predictive power.
---
What Is This Thing?
Standard ATR (Average True Range) has limitations:
* It smooths too slowly (using Wilder's RMA), which delays detection of meaningful moves.
* It lacks context — no way to know if current volatility is high or low relative to history.
* It treats all volatility equally, regardless of scale or significance.
nsATR** was built from scratch to overcome these weaknesses by applying:
* Amplification of large True Range spikes.
* Visual envelope zones for detecting volatility regimes.
* A long-term context line to anchor current readings.
* Multi-factor compression analysis to anticipate breakouts.
---
Core Features
1. Breach Detection with Amplification
When True Range exceeds a user-defined threshold (e.g., ATR × 1.2), it is amplified using a power function to reflect nonlinear volatility. This amplified value is then smoothed and cascades into future ATR values, affecting the indicator beyond a single bar.
2. Direction Tagging
Volatility spikes are tagged as upward or downward based on basic price momentum (close vs previous close). This provides visual context for how volatility is behaving in real-time.
3. Envelope Zones
Two adaptive envelopes highlight the current volatility regime:
* Stage 1: Moderate volatility (default: ATR × 1.5)
* Stage 2: Extreme volatility (default: ATR × 2.0)
Breaching these zones signals meaningful expansion in volatility.
4. Long-Term Context Baseline
A 200-period simple moving average of the classic ATR establishes whether current readings are above or below long-term volatility expectations.
5. Multi-Signal Compression Detection
Flags potential breakout conditions when:
* ATR is below its long-term baseline
* Price Bollinger Bands are compressed
* RSI Bollinger Bands are also compressed
All three signals must align to plot a "Volatility Confluence Dot" — an early warning of potential expansion.
---
Chart Outputs
In the Indicator Pane:
* Breach Amplified ATR (Orange line)
* Classic ATR baseline (White line)
* Long-Term context baseline (Cyan line)
* Stage 1 and Stage 2 Envelopes (Purple and Yellow lines)
On the Price Chart:
* Triangles for breach direction (green/red)
* Diamonds for compression zones
* Optional background coloring for visual clarity
---
Alerts
Built-in alert conditions:
1. ATR breach detected
2. Stage 1 envelope breached
3. Stage 2 envelope breached
4. Compression zone detected
---
Customization
All components are modular. Traders can adjust:
* Display toggles for each visual layer
* Colors and line widths
* Breach threshold and amplification power
* Envelope sensitivity
* Compression sensitivity and lookback windows
Some options are disabled by default to reduce clutter but can be turned on for more aggressive signal detection.
---
Real-Time Behavior (Non-Repainting Clarification)
The indicator updates in real time on the current bar as new data comes in. This is expected behavior for live trading tools. Once a bar closes, values do not change. In other words, the indicator *does not repaint history* — but the current bar can update dynamically until it closes.
---
Use Cases
* Day traders: Use compression zones to anticipate volatility surges.
* Swing traders: Use envelope breaches for regime awareness.
* System developers: Replace standard ATR in your logic for better responsiveness.
* Risk managers: Use directional volatility signals to better model exposure.

Schmit Trading LiquidityDescription
Schmit Trading Liquidity Marker automatically spots and labels open liquidity sweep levels by detecting classic stop-run patterns (Bull→Bear for highs, Bear→Bull for lows) across multiple timeframes. Lines are drawn exactly at the wick of the triggering candle and removed as soon as price “sweeps” through them, keeping your chart clean and focused on live levels only.
How It Works
1. Pattern Detection
• Liquidity High: When a bullish candle is immediately followed by a bearish candle (Bull→Bear), the script records the higher of the two wicks.
• Liquidity Low: When a bearish candle is immediately followed by a bullish candle (Bear→Bull), the script records the lower of the two wicks.
2. Multi-Timeframe Support
• Choose up to six timeframes (5 min, 15 min, 30 min, 1 h, 4 h, daily) via checkboxes.
• Each timeframe is evaluated independently, and liquidity levels are drawn on your current chart.
3. Precision Wick Placement
• Lines start at bar_index – 1 so they align exactly with the wick of the signal candle, regardless of your chart’s timeframe.
4. Automatic Cleanup
• As soon as price closes beyond a drawn line (sweep), that line is deleted automatically.
