Breakdown or Buyable Dip? Pullback Depth Can HelpAs a common adage says, “the market doesn’t move in a straight line.” But when prices have fallen, it’s not always clear whether buying makes sense. That’s where today’s script may help.
Most traditional indicators judge movement based on price. That’s obviously important, but time can also be helpful. After all, there’s a big difference between probing a low from 2-3 weeks ago versus a low from months or even years in the past.
Pullback Depth clearly illustrates this by answering the question: “Today’s low is the lowest in how many bars?”
The resulting integer is plotted in a simple histogram. Values are always negative because bars with higher absolute values (meaning more negative, or further below zero) are potentially more bearish.
The study also has a maximum lookback period to avoid overwhelming the study with too many bars. Its default setting of 125 bars includes enough history to illustrate the trend.
The stock market’s recent run has seen only shallow pullbacks. Most dips have probed 1-2 weeks in the past, while Friday’s selloff only turned back the clock a month.
Consider two other previous moments.
First, the great bull run of 1995 saw only shallow pullbacks. (None exceeded 50 days.):
In contrast, early 2022 saw the S&P 500 test levels more than 100 candles into the past. It soon fell into an official “bear market:”

Understanding the Zones
Supply Zones (Red):
Created from bearish patterns (Tweezer Tops, Kangaroo Bears). Price made a high attempt to push higher, but was rejected. These become resistance areas where sellers may step in again.
Demand Zones (Green):
Created from bullish patterns (Tweezer Bottoms, Kangaroo Bulls). Price made a low with strong rejection. These become support areas where buyers may step in again.
Zone Quality Indicators:
• White border = Fresh zone, not tested yet
• Gray border = Zone expired or invalidated
• Thin zones (tight range) = Better risk/reward ratio
• Thick zones = Less precise, wider stop required
Trading Applications
Reversal Trading - Enter at pattern detection with tight stops
Zone Retest Trading - Wait for retests of established zones
Trend Confluence - Trade only when patterns align with trend
Risk Management - Use zone boundaries for stop placement
Target Setting - Opposite zones become profit targets
Pro Tips
Best signals occur when pattern + zone retest + trend all align
Lower timeframes = more signals but more noise
Higher timeframes = fewer but more reliable signals
Start with default settings, adjust based on your market
Combine with other analysis (structure, key levels, etc.)
Use alerts to avoid staring at charts all day
Important Notes
Not all patterns will lead to successful trades
Use proper risk management and position sizing
Patterns work best in trending or range-bound markets
Very choppy conditions may produce lower-quality signals
Always confirm with your own analysis before trading

ICT Turtle SoupICT Turtle Soup identifies classic “failed breakout” reversals after liquidity sweeps of recent highs/lows, then augments the setup with volume validation, market structure context, Kill Zone (session) filters, Order Blocks (OB), Fair Value Gaps (FVG), OTE (61.8–78.6%) zones, and optional risk targets (SL/TP 1:1, 1:2, 1:3). A compact dashboard summarizes current context (recent high/low, lookbacks, active session, structure state, mitigation counts).
What the Script Does
⦁ Detects Turtle Soup events: Price breaks a prior swing extreme and then quickly reverses back inside the range.
⦁ Grades signal quality: Factors include reversal speed, volume confirmation, breakout magnitude, and consecutive patterns.
⦁ Overlays market context: Trend/range classification (ADX / MA / ATR Bands / Combined), Kill Zones (Asian/London/NY), and time-of-day filters.
⦁ Marks IMB / mitigation zones: Draws Order Blocks and Fair Value Gaps, with optional live mitigation tracking and fading/removal on mitigation.
⦁ Shows OTE zones (61.8–78.6%) after confirmed reversals to highlight potential pullback entries.
⦁ Plots risk management guides: Optional SL buffer below/above reversal wick and TP bands at 1:1, 1:2, 1:3 R multiples.
⦁ Emits alerts on bullish/bearish Turtle Soup confirmations.
How It Works (Conceptual)
1. Liquidity Sweep & Breakout Check
⦁ Looks back over user-defined windows (single or multiple lookbacks: short/medium/long) to find the most recent swing high/low.
⦁ Flags a breakout when price pierces that swing (above for bearish, below for bullish).
⦁ Optional breakout bar volume check requires volume > avg(volume, N) × multiplier.
⦁ Optional swing age check requires the broken swing to be at least X bars old.
2. Reversal Confirmation
⦁ Within N bars after the sweep, validates a mean-reversion close back inside the prior range with a minimum wick/body ratio to confirm rejection.
⦁ Quality Score adds points for:
⦁ Speed: reversal within fast_reversal_bars;
⦁ Volume: breakout and/or reversal volume spike;
⦁ Series: previous consecutive signals;
⦁ Magnitude: sufficient sweep distance.
⦁ Optional high-quality filter only shows signals meeting a minimum score.
3. Context Filters (Optional)
⦁ Sessions/Kill Zones: Only allow signals in selected sessions (Asian/London/NY) with fully custom HHMM inputs.
⦁ Time Window: Restrict to specific hours (e.g., 08–12).
⦁ Market Structure: Classify Trending vs. Ranging (via ADX, MA separation/slope, ATR bands, or Combined). You can allow signals in trends, ranges, or both.
4. Smart Confluence Layers
⦁ Order Blocks: Finds likely OBs with structural validation (e.g., bearish up-candle prior to down move), imbalance score (body/range × volume factor), and extend-until-touched with mitigation % tracking.
⦁ Fair Value Gaps: Detects valid 3-bar gaps (bull/bear) with size threshold, supports touch / 50% / full mitigation logic, and can fade or remove after mitigation.
⦁ OTE Zones: After a reversal, projects the 61.8–78.6% retracement box from the actual swing range; offset scales to timeframe to avoid clutter.
5. Risk & Display
⦁ SL/TP guides: Optional wick-buffered SL and 1:1/1:2/1:3 TPs.
⦁ Dashboard: Recent high/low, active lookbacks, current session, structure label, and live counts of mitigated OBs/FVGs.
Signals & Visuals
⦁ Bullish Turtle Soup: Triangle up + label (🐢S/M/L/D + star rating).
⦁ Bearish Turtle Soup: Triangle down + label (🐢S/M/L/D + star rating).
⦁ Labels can show: quality stars, FAST/SLOW reversal, reversal & breakout volume tags, previous consecutive count, and last move %.
⦁ Lines/Boxes: OBs, FVGs, OTE zones, SL/TP bands, and optional breakout magnitude line.
Inputs (Key Groups)
⦁ Turtle Soup: Lookbacks (single or S/M/L), reversal bars, wick ratio, magnitude line, reversal speed, volume confirmation (multiplier/length), consecutive tracking.
⦁ Order Blocks: Show/validate structure, lookback, extend-until-touched, mitigation % threshold, colors.
⦁ Fair Value Gaps: Show, min size %, colors, mitigation mode (Touch/50%/Full), optional remove-on-mitigation.
⦁ Kill Zones/Sessions: Enable Asian/London/NY with custom HHMM, colors.
⦁ OTE: Show OTE (61.8–78.6%), color, timeframe-adaptive offsets.
⦁ Signal Filters: Filter by session, time window, market structure method (ADX/MA/ATR/Combined), thresholds (ADX, MA periods, ATR multiplier), trending/ranging allowances, structure label & offset.
⦁ SL/TP: SL buffer %, TP 1:1/1:2/1:3 toggles & colors.
⦁ Breakout Validation: Require breakout-bar volume, min swing age, volume label toggles.
⦁ Alerts: Enable/disable.
⦁ Dashboard: Position, text size, colors, border.
How to Use
1. Markets & Timeframes: Works on FX, crypto, indices, and futures. Start with M5–H1 for intraday and H1–H4 for swing; refine lookbacks per instrument volatility.
2. Core Flow:
⦁ Enable multiple lookbacks for robustness on mixed volatility.
⦁ Turn on validate_swing_significance to avoid micro sweeps.
⦁ Use validate_breakout_volume + use_volume_confirmation to filter weak pokes.
3. Context Choice:
⦁ In ranging environments, allow both sides; in trends, consider counter-trend only at HTF OB/FVG/OTE confluence.
⦁ Narrow to London/NY for higher activity if desired.
4. Entries/Stops/Targets:
⦁ Entry on confirmed label close or at OTE pullback post-signal.
⦁ SL: below/above reversal wick + sl_buffer%.
⦁ TP: scale at 1:1/1:2/1:3 or manage via OB/FVG/structure breaks.
5. Confluence: Prefer Turtle Soup that aligns with OB/FVG zones and Combined structure method for added reliability.
Alerts
⦁ “Bullish Turtle Soup detected” and “Bearish Turtle Soup detected” fire on confirmation.
⦁ Set to Once Per Bar (as coded) or adjust in the alert dialog per your workflow.
Notes & Tips
⦁ Multiple lookbacks (S/M/L) help capture both shallow and deep liquidity sweeps.
⦁ Use market structure label with offset to keep it readable on the right of price.
⦁ Mitigation tracking visually communicates when OB/FVG confluence is no longer valid.
⦁ Dashboard = fast situational awareness; keep it on during live trading.
Limitations & Disclaimer
⦁ This tool is educational and not financial advice. No profitability or win-rate is implied. Markets carry risk; manage position size and test thoroughly.
⦁ Signal quality depends on market regime, spreads, news, and data quality. Backtests/forward-tests may differ.
⦁ Visual objects are capped for performance; old items may auto-clean to keep charts responsive.
Micro fast trendline [sma] Overview
Micro Fast Trendline is an automated trendline drawing tool that connects pivot points in real-time. It dynamically creates trendlines between consecutive pivot highs and pivot lows, extending them forward to visualize potential support and resistance trajectories.
How It Works
Pivot Detection System
The indicator uses a symmetric pivot detection algorithm:
1. Scans for pivot highs: local peaks with lower highs on both left and right sides
2. Scans for pivot lows: local troughs with higher lows on both left and right sides
3. Confirms pivots only after the specified number of right bars have formed
4. Default settings: 5 bars left + 5 bars right (customizable)
Trendline Construction
When a new pivot is detected:
- **For Pivot Highs**: Draws a descending trendline from the previous pivot high to the current one (bearish)
- **For Pivot Lows**: Draws an ascending trendline from the previous pivot low to the current one (bullish)
- Calculates the slope between the two pivots
- Extends the line forward based on that slope for the specified number of bars (default 30)
Line Management System
The indicator includes intelligent line management:
- **Maximum Lines Control**: Limits the number of displayed trendlines (default 4, max 10)
- **Automatic Cleanup**: Removes oldest lines when the maximum is exceeded
- **Extension Expiry**: Deletes lines after they've extended beyond their lifespan
- Uses arrays to track pivot history and associated trendline objects
Key Features
- **Automatic Drawing**: No manual trendline drawing required
- **Real-time Updates**: Creates new trendlines as pivots form
- **Slope-based Extension**: Projects trendlines forward using calculated slope
- **Memory Management**: Automatically cleans up old lines to prevent clutter
- **Dual Tracking**: Separate systems for bullish and bearish trendlines
- **Optional Pivot Markers**: Can display pivot points for validation
Parameters
Pivot Configuration
- **Left Bars** (default 5): Number of bars to the left of the pivot for confirmation
- **Right Bars** (default 5): Number of bars to the right of the pivot for confirmation
- Higher values = fewer but more significant pivots
Visual Configuration
- Show Pivot Points (default off): Display triangles at confirmed pivots
- Bullish Line Color (default dark green): Color for upward trendlines
- Bearish Line Color (default dark red): Color for downward trendlines
- Line Width (default 1): Thickness of trendlines
- Maximum Lines (default 4, range 1-10): Maximum concurrent trendlines
- Line Extension (default 30 bars, range 10-200): Forward projection length
Interpretation
Bullish Trendlines (Green)
- Connect consecutive pivot lows
- Act as dynamic support levels
- Upward slope indicates strengthening uptrend
- Price breaking below suggests weakening support
Bearish Trendlines (Red)
- Connect consecutive pivot highs
- Act as dynamic resistance levels
- Downward slope indicates strengthening downtrend
- Price breaking above suggests weakening resistance
Trading Applications
- **Breakout Trading**: Watch for price breaking extended trendlines
- **Support/Resistance**: Use as dynamic S/R levels
- **Trend Confirmation**: Slope direction confirms trend strength
- **Reversal Signals**: Multiple trendline breaks may indicate reversals
Technical Implementation
This indicator uses:
- Custom type definition (PivotData) to store pivot price, time, and line object
- Array-based data structure for efficient pivot history management
- Dynamic line objects with calculated slope extension
- Automatic memory cleanup to prevent performance degradation
- Separate processing loops for highs and lows to avoid conflicts
Originality Statement
This indicator features a unique approach to automated trendline creation:
- Implements a custom data structure combining pivot data with line objects
- Uses slope-based mathematical projection for realistic line extensions
- Employs an intelligent cleanup system that removes expired lines automatically
- Maintains separate arrays for bullish/bearish trendlines with independent management
- Projects trendlines forward using calculated slope rather than simple horizontal extension
The combination of pivot detection, slope calculation, and automated line lifecycle management creates a hands-free trendline system.
Best Practices
- Lower pivot bar settings (3-5) for faster, more responsive trendlines
- Higher pivot bar settings (7-15) for major swings and longer-term trends
- Adjust line extension based on your trading timeframe
- Reduce maximum lines on lower timeframes to avoid clutter
- Increase maximum lines on higher timeframes for historical context

ICT Levels Breach Scanner (12M Timeframe)Detects and scans for breaches of key Inner Circle Trader (ICT) concepts on the yearly (12M) chart: Swing Lows (3-bar wick pivots), Rejection Blocks (3-bar body pivots), Fair Value Gaps (3-bar inefficiencies), and Volume Imbalances (bullish body gaps ≥0.15%, unmitigated).
Features:
Tracks active levels with arrays for real-time breach detection (price low below any level triggers alert).
Visuals: Blue solid lines (Swing Lows), orange dashed (Rejection Blocks), purple dotted (FVGs), green boxes (VIs)—all extending right.
Red triangle + bgcolor alert on breach bar; built-in alertcondition for notifications.
Optimized for Pine Screener: Filter stocks (e.g., US exchanges) showing symbols where price has traded below these levels on the latest 12M bar.
Usage: Apply to a 12M chart for viz, or add to Screener > Pine tab for multi-symbol scans. Customize gap % or add bearish variants via inputs. Ideal for spotting potential support in long-term trends.
ICT-inspired; test on liquid stocks like AAPL/TSLA. Not financial advice.

Clear alerts for BUY/SELL, zone touch, and Fib confirmations
Lightweight, readable visuals for fast decision-making
How to use
Choose your signal timeframe (e.g., M30/H1).
Enable HTF bias (e.g., D1 or H4) to keep setups in trend.
Look for DEFECT signals inside/near zones and at Fib levels.
Plan SL beyond the nearest wick/zone; manage TP with your risk model.

⚠️ Dangers of Trading
1️⃣ You can lose money very fast
Markets move quickly, and leverage makes losses even faster. Even experienced traders go through drawdowns.
2️⃣ Emotional decisions ruin accounts
Fear (selling too early) and greed (holding too long or overtrading) cause most losses. Trading is more psychological than technical.
3️⃣ Overconfidence after small wins
Many traders win at the beginning and believe they “mastered” the market, then take big risks and blow the account.
4️⃣ No system = gambling
If you trade without clear rules and risk management, you’re not trading—you’re gambling.
5️⃣ Market is not fair
Smart money, institutions, HFT algorithms, and stop-hunts exist. Retail traders are often the liquidity for bigger players.
6️⃣ News/Unexpected events
Unpredictable events (CPI, FOMC, war, tweets, etc.) can instantly move the market against your position.
✅ Advice for Safer & Smarter Trading
✅ 1. Protect your capital first
Your number one job is to survive.
Never risk more than 1–2% per trade.
✅ 2. Have a written trading plan
Define:
When to enter
When to exit
How much to risk
What conditions must be present
If your plan is not written, you don’t have a plan.
✅ 3. Use Stop Loss always
No stop loss = account suicide.
Even professional traders are wrong sometimes.
✅ 4. Focus on one strategy (mastery > trying everything)
Jumping from one strategy to another causes confusion. One good strategy with discipline beats five strategies with no consistency.
✅ 5. Trade with the trend and higher timeframe direction
Trading against HTF structure is fighting the market.
✅ 6. Control emotions like a machine
Biggest trader enemies:
Overtrading
Revenge trading
Fear of missing out (FOMO)
When emotions are strong → stop trading.
✅ 7. Be patient (best skill of a trader)
Sometimes the best trade is no trade.
Professional traders wait for high-probability setups.
✅ 8. Backtest and demo before using real money
If it doesn’t make money in backtesting or demo, it won’t magically work live.
✅ 9. Accept losses (they are part of the game)
Even the best traders lose. The key is small losses, big wins.
✅ 10. Keep learning forever
Market changes. What works today may not work tomorrow. Study price action, volume, psychology, risk management.
🧠 Final Truths:
✅ Trading is a business, not easy money
✅ Winning rate doesn’t matter—risk/reward matters
✅ Consistency > luck
✅ Discipline > knowledge
✅ Survival > profit
ADR - Average Daily Range [KasTrades]This is an Average Daily Range (ADR) indicator.
There are two settings for ADR:
Two Look back period ADR range (e.g. 7 and 14 days)
One Look back period ADR (e.g. 5 days only)
Two day ADR ranges are typically used in equities and index futures whereas one day ADR is typically used in forex.
The opening time by default is 17:00 New York (Eastern) time. The ranges are always calculated from the opening price of the first bar on the respected timeframe.
ADR [KasTrades]This ADR indicator has 2 options: a Range of ADR, such as 7 and 14 which is typically used for indexes, index futures and equities, or a single ADR such as a 5 day which is typically used for forex.
The session start time is 17:00 ET (NY Time) by default, this is adjustable.
You can adjust the ADR days to different ranges such as 5 and 10, or a single ADR day such as 7.
Colors of the ADR high and low are also adjustable.
Uptrick: Volatility Adjusted TrailIntroduction
The "Uptrick: Volatility Adjusted Trail" is a dynamic trailing band indicator. It adapts in real time to changing market conditions by adjusting both to volatility and trend consistency. Inspired by Supertrend-style logic, it enhances traditional approaches by introducing adaptive mechanisms for more context-sensitive behavior in both trending and consolidating environments.
Overview
This indicator combines an exponential moving average (EMA) as its basis with an Average True Range (ATR)-derived multiplier that adjusts dynamically. Unlike fixed-multiplier tools, this indicator modifies its band distances in real time according to volatility expansion and trend persistence. The result is a trailing system that adapts to the prevailing market regime, providing traders with clearer signals for trend bias, stop placement, and potential momentum shifts.
Originality
The script’s originality lies in its multi-layered approach to trail calculation. It introduces a real-time ATR multiplier adjustment driven by two factors: a volatility expansion ratio and a trend persistence model. The expansion ratio compares the current ATR to its moving average, making the indicator more sensitive during volatile conditions and less sensitive during quieter periods. The trend persistence model assesses directional consistency to widen the bands during sustained trends. This dual adjustment method creates a system that evolves with market behavior, making it more responsive and adaptive than static-band or fixed-multiplier alternatives.
Components & Inspiration
This indicator was designed with specific components that work together:
Exponential Moving Average (EMA): Chosen as the central baseline because it responds faster to recent price changes than a simple moving average, providing a more current reference for trailing bands.
Average True Range (ATR): Used as the volatility measure because it accounts for both intraday and gap movement, making it a robust and widely accepted standard for market volatility.
Dynamic Multiplier: The multiplier is adjusted by both volatility expansion and trend persistence to produce bands that tighten during low volatility and widen during consistent trends. This combination was chosen to give the indicator the ability to self-regulate across different market regimes.
Trend Persistence Model: Integrated to assess directional consistency, ensuring the bands expand during strong trends, which can prevent premature stop-outs.
Flip Confirmation Logic: Added to filter out noise by requiring multiple bar closes beyond a band before confirming a state change, reducing false reversals.
For inspiration, the indicator draws on the core idea behind Supertrend—using a baseline and volatility-derived bands to define trailing stop levels. However, while Supertrend uses a fixed ATR multiplier, this indicator introduces a dynamic multiplier system and persistence weighting, making it more adaptive and suited for varying conditions.
Inputs and Parameters
Basis EMA Length
Defines the period for the EMA that serves as the core price reference.
ATR Length
Sets the lookback period for the Average True Range calculation used in band spacing.
Base ATR Mult
The base multiplier applied to ATR before adjustments. Forms the starting scale of the band offset.
Volatility Expansion Sensitivity
Controls how strongly the band spacing reacts to short-term volatility bursts. Higher values create more pronounced band expansions or contractions.
Trend Persistence Window
Determines how many bars are used to calculate directional trend consistency using a smoothed step function.
Persistence Impact
Scales how much influence the trend persistence has on band widening. Values range from 0 (no effect) to 1 (maximum effect).
Min Effective Mult
Sets the minimum value that the adjusted multiplier can reach. Prevents the bands from becoming too narrow.
Max Effective Mult
Sets the maximum value the adjusted multiplier can reach. Prevents the bands from over-expanding during high volatility.
Bars Above/Below to Confirm Flip
Number of consecutive bars required to close above or below the opposing trail before confirming a bullish or bearish flip. Helps reduce noise and false signals.
Show Flip Labels
Enables or disables the display of flip markers on the chart.
Label Size
Allows users to adjust the size of flip labels from Tiny to Huge.
Label ATR Offset
Adjusts the vertical placement of flip labels in relation to the trail using an ATR-based offset.
Features and Logic
EMA Basis: All calculations stem from an EMA that tracks the centerline of price action.
Dynamic ATR Multiplier: The ATR multiplier adjusts in real time based on volatility expansion and trend persistence.
Clamped Multiplier: The adjusted multiplier is limited between user-defined minimum and maximum values to keep the band scale practical.
Upper and Lower Bands: Bands are plotted above and below the EMA using the dynamic multiplier and ATR values.
Trailing Logic: The script uses Supertrend-style trailing logic, updating the active band in the current trend direction and resetting the opposite band.
Trend State Detection: A state variable tracks the current market regime (bullish, bearish, or neutral). Transitions are confirmed only after a user-specified number of bars close beyond the respective bands.
Visual Elements: Trail lines and fill zones are color-coded (bullish cyan, bearish magenta). Candlestick and bar colors match the trend state. Optional flip labels mark confirmed transitions.
Alerts: Built-in alert conditions allow users to receive real-time notifications for bullish or bearish flips.
Usage Guidelines
This indicator can be used for:
Defining context-aware dynamic stop levels that adjust with market behavior.
Identifying trend direction and reversal points based on adaptive logic.
Filtering entry or exit signals during trending vs. consolidating conditions.
Supplementing trade management strategies with responsive visual markers.
Entering long or short positions based on the appearance of flip labels and managing stop losses by following the adaptive trail.
Traders may tune the parameters to suit different trading styles or timeframes. For example, lower ATR and EMA values may suit intraday setups, while longer settings may benefit swing or positional trading.
Summary
The "Uptrick: Volatility Adjusted Trail" provides a flexible, adaptive trailing band system that accounts for both volatility and directional consistency. By combining an EMA baseline with a dynamic ATR multiplier influenced by volatility expansion and trend persistence, it creates a context-sensitive trailing system that aligns with changing market conditions. Customizable confirmation, flip labels, alerts, and dynamic visual cues make it a versatile tool for trend-following, breakout filtering, and trailing stop logic.

ZZ RangeHappy Trading!
This is a real-time range detection indicator. Based on previous supply and demand levels, it classifies each new bar as Up, Down, or Range.
New supply and demand levels are typically detected within two bars. The indicator can be used as a filter and supports indicator-on-indicator functionality.
Intro
Concept
Usage and Settings Menu
Declaration for TradingView House Rules on Script Publishing
Disclaimer
1. Concept
Based on a variation of the Bilson-Gann Algorithm, this indicator calculates local supply and demand levels and determines whether the current price is:
Between those levels → Ranging
Above → Uptrending
Below → Downtrending
Less significant supply and demand levels are filtered out using a user-adjustable intensity setting.
2. Usage and Settings Menu
There are four settings available:
Indicator Timeframe – Display results from higher timeframes on the lower timeframe chart.
Range Detection Rule – Choose whether a bar must be fully inside supply and demand zones to be considered ranging, or if touching the zone is sufficient.
Bar Structure Basis – Select whether wicks or bodies of bars are used to calculate supply and demand levels.
Rule to set S&D – Choose among three rules defining how often new supply and demand levels are calculated. Each rule adjusts the sensitivity and responsiveness of detection.
Alert Signals Available:
Trend Signal 1 = Uptrend, 0 = Ranging, -1 = Downtrend

Use visibility toggles to focus on specific level groups (e.g., hide Whale Levels for short-term setups).
Optionally enable alerts to track price breakouts above/below Call and Put Walls.
The plotted levels are derived from aggregated options flow data, institutional positioning, and volatility-based deviations (σ). They serve as reference zones rather than predictive signals, helping visualize where liquidity and dealer hedging pressure may cluster.
📖 Level Definitions
Call Wall 🟢 — The strike with the highest call open interest; potential resistance area.
Put Wall 🔴 — The strike with the highest put open interest; potential support area.
Gamma Flip ⚖️ — Level where total gamma exposure changes sign; may reflect a shift in dealer hedging behavior.
Whales Pivot 🌑 — Represents the average institutional positioning from the previous trading day, reflecting where large option flows were most concentrated.
Whale Levels 🐋 — High-premium or large-volume strikes typically linked to institutional activity.
Upper σ¹ / σ² 📈 — One and two standard deviations above spot; potential overextension zones.
Lower σ¹ / σ² 📉 — One and two standard deviations below spot; potential mean-reversion zones.
Levels are manually input by the user. This script is a visual reference, not a predictive model.
⚠️ Notes

AscTrend 2AscTrend Dots — clean, no-nonsense trend signals
AscTrend Dots overlays simple color-coded dots directly on price to highlight the current trend and potential shifts. Dots below candles suggest bullish control; dots above suggest bearish pressure. When a dot flips side, it flags a possible trend change or momentum break—ideal for quick visual reads without clutter.
How it works
Measures directional momentum and volatility, then places a dot above/below price to reflect the dominant side.
Flips are evaluated on bar close for clearer, more reliable signals (avoid acting mid-bar).
What it’s good for
Spotting trend direction at a glance
Timing entries on pullbacks back into the dot’s side
Managing exits when dots flip against your position
Works on any symbol or timeframe; scalpers to swing traders can adapt it
Key options
Sensitivity / Length: tune responsiveness (higher = smoother, fewer flips).
Smoothing: optional extra filter to reduce noise.
Alerts: get notified on dot flips or trend continuation.
Styling: customize dot size and colors to match your chart.
Tips
Pair with structure (S/R), volume, or a higher-timeframe trend filter for confirmation.
Consider using bar-close alerts to reduce noise and potential whipsaws.

50% Fib Trend Cloud + ATR BandsThis indicator plots two structural 50% fibonacci midpoints from recent confirmed 'left/right' swings that form a *cloud* of equilibrium, then adds a rolling 50% fibonacci range midpoint based on a lookback window that's wrapped in ATR bands. Importantly, it solves a specific trading problem:
Structural midpoints (macro context) are powerful but can lag when price escapes prior ranges. Enter rolling 50% fib + ATR ➡️ which restores real-time balance & tolerance (micro context). Together they show where price is balanced structurally, where it’s balanced right now, and how much volatility to tolerate before acting.
➖➖➖
🔑 Why this is different
Most tools either draw a single midpoint (ex., daily 50%) or ATR bands around a moving average. This script fuses dual swing-based 50% midpoints (structure) + a rolling 50% with ATR (flow), so you don’t lose context when price escapes prior ranges. The cloud tells you who’s in control (fast vs. slow structure). The rolling 50% + ATR tells you how far is “too far” now.
➖➖➖
🧠 What it does (at a glance)
🔸Structural Equilibrium × 2 (Fib1/Fib2)
Two independent 50% midpoints formed from swing pivots (configurable Left/Right bars + optional smoothing). Their gap is the Midpoint Cloud = structural “fair value” zone.
🔸Rolling 50% + ATR Bands
A rolling highest/lowest window computes an always-current 50% rolling midpoint plot; ±ATR × length envelopes define a soft value area and over-stretch boundaries.
🔸Actionable Visuals
Optional fill between Fib1/Fib2, labels, and candle-overlay modes to instantly read regime (above both / below both / between).
🔸Smart Defaults
Timeframe-aware presets for L/R pivots & smoothing; full manual overrides available.
➖➖➖
⚙️ Calculations (plain-English)
🔸Pivot midpoints (Fib1 & Fib2):
1) Detect a swing using `Left/Right` bars
2) Take the swing’s high/low → compute 50%
3) (Optional) Smooth the line (SMA) to stabilize on noisy TFs
4) Repeat with a different sensitivity to get two distinct midpoints
🔸Rolling midpoint:
Highest High / Lowest Low over the last *N* bars → (HH + LL) / 2
🔸ATR levels:
`Upper = Rolling50 + ATR × Mult`, `Lower = Rolling50 − ATR × Mult`
(Typical: ATR length 14–21; Multipliers 2.236 for L1, 5.382 for L2)
➖➖➖
🤖 Auto-Configured Presets (with Manual Override)
💡Goal: make the midpoints “just work” on common timeframes while still letting you dial them in.
💡How Auto Presets work
When Auto Presets = ON, the script picks sensible L/R/S (Left bars / Right bars / Smoothing) for Fib Trend 1 and Fib Trend 2 based on chart timeframe.
🔸Fib 1 (fast) emphasizes *micro-structure* for quicker bias shifts.
🔸Fib 2 (slow) emphasizes *macro-structure* for anchor/bias context.
These defaults keep Fib 1 responsive without jitter and Fib 2 stable without lag.
➡️ Turn Auto Presets = OFF to take full control with the manual inputs described below.
➖➖➖
🛠 Manual Fib Midpoint Settings (when Auto = OFF)
💡Each midpoint uses three knobs:
🔸Pivot Left (L): bars to the left that must be lower/higher to qualify a swing
🔸Pivot Right (R): bars to the right that must be lower/higher to confirm the swing
🔸Smoothing (S): SMA period applied to the raw 50% midpoint (stabilizes noise)
5-Minute optimized defaults
🔸Fib Trend 1: `L21 / R5 / S55` → responsive local structure (entries/exits, re-balancing zones)
🔸Fib Trend 2: `L55 / R13 / S89` → broader structure (trend context, anchors/stops)
Timeframe guidance
🔸1m–3m: may feel a touch laggy → consider ~`L13 / R3 / S34`
🔸15m–1h: defaults remain strong → optionally ~`L34 / R8 / S89`
🔸4h+ : increase span for stability → `L89–144 / R13–21 / S144–233`
➡️ Rule of thumb: shorter L/R = faster detection, longer S = smoother line. Tune until Fib 1 captures the “active swing” and Fib 2 captures the “dominant swing” without whipsaw.
➖➖➖
🎛 Inputs (quick reference)
🔸Fib Trend 1/2: Source (High/Low/Close), Left/Right bars, Smoothing length, Show/Hide, Cloud fill toggle
🔸Rolling 50%: Lookback length, Price basis (Wicks/Close/HLC3/OHLC4), Plot scope (Full / Last N / None)
🔸ATR Bands: ATR length, Multipliers (L1/L2), Plot scope, Line width/colors
🔸Overlay & Labels: Candle overlay mode, Label padding/size, 50% centerline toggle, Plot widths
➖➖➖
🖍️ Candle Coloring & Overlay Modes
💡Purpose: make trend instantly visible on the candles and ATR levels.
1) Color Logic (dropdown)
🔸 Fib Midpoints — Colors by position of price vs. Fib 1 & Fib 2
🔸ATR Zones — Colors by which ATR zone price is in relative to the Rolling 50%
➡️ Price Reference: Choose the input used for the decision (Close, HL2, OHLC3, OHLC4).
➡️Tip: Close is crisp; HL2/OHLC variants are smoother.
2) Overlay Style (dropdown)
🔸 None — No visual change to candles
🔸 Bar Color — Uses `barcolor()` to tint built-in candles (this takes into account your Trading View settings, for instance if you have wicks set to white, they will show up as white with this setting)
🔸 PlotCandles — Draws unified custom candles (body, wick, border) with the same color for maximum clarity
💡Practical use
🔸 Pick Fib Midpoints to read structural bias at a glance (above/below/between the cloud).
🔸 Pick ATR Zones to read value vs. stretch around the Rolling 50% (mean-reversion vs. trend extension).
➖➖➖
📘 How to use
A) Trend confirmation
- Strong bullish bias when price holds above both structural mids; strong bearish when below both.
- Use the Rolling 50% + ATR as a dynamic re-entry zone: pullbacks that respect ATR(L1) often continue the prevailing trend.
B) Transition / mean reversion
- Inside the Cloud (between Fib1 & Fib2) treat behavior as neutralization/re-balancing; range tactics tend to outperform momentum plays.
- In ranges, fades near ±ATR around the rolling 50% can mark short-term edges.
C) Breakout context
- When price leaves the Cloud, the Rolling 50% keeps you anchored so price never feels “floating.” A clean hold outside ATR(L1/L2) suggests regime strength; quick re-entries hint at traps.
➖➖➖
🖼 Chart examples
➡️ Each snapshot shows how the Cloud (structure) and the Rolling 50% + ATR (flow) work together.
1) 1-Minute Downtrend – Cloud as Dynamic Ceiling
- The Cloud slopes down; pullbacks repeatedly fail under the Cloud’s underside.
- Rolling 50% (dashed mid) + ATR(L1) act as a reversion band: rallies stall near upper ATR and rotate lower.
2) 15-Minute Persistent Drift – Structure Guides, Flow Times Entries
- Long drift lower with Cloud overhead.
- Consolidations near the rolling mid resolve in the trend direction; ATR bands frame risk on each attempt.
3) 15-Minute Uptrend (BTC) – From Cloud Escape to Value Stair-Step
- After escaping the prior Cloud, rolling 50% + ATR establish a new higher value area.
- Pullbacks into ATR(L1) produce orderly stair-steps; Cloud remains supportive on deeper dips
4) 5-Minute BTC – Pullback to Value then Rotate
- Strong leg up; retrace tags lower ATR band and rotates back toward the rolling mid.
- Labels (Fib1/Fib2) make the structural context explicit for decision-making.
➖➖➖
🧪 Starter presets
- Intraday (5–15m): Fib1 ~ L21/R5 (smooth 5), Fib2 ~ L55/R13 (smooth 9) • Rolling = 55 • ATR = 14 • L1 = 2.5x, L2 = 5.0x
- Scalping: Shorten lookbacks & smoothing; keep ATR multipliers similar, or tighten L1.
- Swing: Lengthen all lookbacks; consider ATR length 21–28.
➖➖➖

FVG Scanner ProFVG Scanner Pro — Smart Fair Value Gap Detector (with HTF context & proximity alerts)
What it does
FVG Scanner Pro automatically finds Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) on your current chart and (optionally) on a higher timeframe (HTF), draws them as color-coded zones, and notifies you when price comes close to a gap boundary using an ADR-based proximity trigger and (optional) volume confirmation. It’s designed for ICT-style gap trading, confluence building, and clean visual execution.
How it works:
FVG definition
* Bullish FVG (gap up): low > high (the current candle’s low is above the high 2 bars ago).
* Bearish FVG (gap down): high < low (the current candle’s high is below the low 2 bars ago).
* Gaps smaller than your Min FVG Size (%) are ignored. (Gap size = (top-bottom)/bottom * 100.)
Higher-timeframe logic (auto-selected)
The script auto picks a sensible HTF:
1–5m → 15m, 15m → 1H, 1H → 4H, 4H → 1D, 1D → 1W, 1W → 1M, small 1M → 3M, big ≥3M → 12M.
You can display HTF FVGs and even filter so current-TF FVGs only show when they overlap an HTF gap.
Proximity alerts (ADR-based)
The script computes ADR on the current chart timeframe over a user-set lookback (default 20 bars).
An alert fires when price moves toward the closest actionable boundary and comes within ADR × Multiplier:
Bullish: price moving down, within distance of the bottom of a bullish FVG.
Bearish: price moving up, within distance of the top of a bearish FVG.
Yellow ▲/▼ markers show where a proximity alert triggered.
Volume filter (optional)
Require volume to be greater than SMA(20) × multiplier to accept a newly formed FVG.
Lifecycle
Each gap remains active for Extend FVG Box (Bars) bars.
You can delete the box after fill, or keep filled gaps visible as gray zones, or hide them.
Color legend
Current-TF Bullish: Pink/Magenta box
Current-TF Bearish: Cyan/Turquoise box
HTF Bullish: Gold box
HTF Bearish: Orange box
Filled (if shown): Gray box
Alert markers: Yellow ▲ (bullish), Yellow ▼ (bearish)
Inputs (what to tweak)
Show FVGs: Bullish / Bearish / Both
Max Bars Back to Find FVG: collection window & cleanup guard
Extend FVG Box (Bars): how long a zone stays tradable/active
Min FVG Size (%): ignore micro gaps
Delete Box After Fill & Show Filled FVGs: choose how you want completed gaps handled
Show Alert Markers: show/hide the yellow proximity arrows
Show Higher Timeframe FVG: overlay HTF gaps (auto TF)
HTF Filter: only display current-TF gaps that overlap an HTF gap
ADR Lookback & Proximity Multiplier: tune alert sensitivity to your market & timeframe
Volume Filter & Volume > MA Multiple: require above-average volume for new gaps
Built-in alerts (ready to use)
Create alerts in TradingView (⚠️ “Once per bar” or “Once per bar close”, your choice) and select from:
🟢 Bullish FVG Proximity — price approaching a bullish gap bottom
🔴 Bearish FVG Proximity — price approaching a bearish gap top
✅ New Bullish FVG Formed
⚠️ New Bearish FVG Formed
The alert messages include the symbol and price; proximity markers are also plotted on chart.
Tips & best practices
Use FVGs with market structure (break of structure, swing points), order blocks, or liquidity pools for confluence.
On very low timeframes, raise Min FVG Size and/or lower Max Bars Back to reduce noise and keep things fast.
Extend FVG Box controls how long a zone is considered valid; align it with your holding horizon (scalp vs swing).
Information panel (top-right)
Shows your mode, current HTF, number of gaps in memory, active bull/bear counts, and current-TF ADR.
MILLION MEN - Smart ZonesMILLION MEN — Smart Zones
What it is
A smart, structure-based Support/Resistance indicator that automatically anchors dynamic Smart Zones from the latest confirmed swing high and low. It identifies two adaptive regions — the Premium Zone near swing highs and the Discount Zone near swing lows — with an optional 50% equilibrium line for balanced price analysis.
How it works (high-level)
Confirmed swings: Uses ta.pivothigh and ta.pivotlow with adaptive or manual lookback.
Smart pairing: When both recent pivots are confirmed, the script anchors a new pair and builds zones based on that range.
Dynamic zones:
Discount Zone: Bottom portion of the range (e.g., 25%).
Premium Zone: Top portion of the range.
Midline: Optional 50% equilibrium; can extend right.
Lifecycle control:
Zones auto-update as new highs/lows appear.
Option to re-anchor when a new swing pair forms.
Option to auto-expire after a set number of bars for clean charts.
Color scheme:
Green = Discount Zone
Fuchsia = Premium Zone
Gray = Midline
How to use
Works well on 5m–1H for intraday, or 4H–1D for swing.
Use the Discount Zone for long bias setups and the Premium Zone for short bias confirmations.
Combine with your preferred momentum, VWAP, or volume tools for confluence.
Adjust Zone Depth % and Auto-expire depending on your timeframe.
Originality & value
Unlike static S/R indicators, Smart Zones evolve with price structure — re-anchoring on new swing formations while maintaining clarity and balance. Its confirmed-pivot logic avoids repainting and produces professional, non-cluttered charts for precision trading.
Limitations & transparency
Pivots confirm with delay equal to pivot length; this prevents repaint.
Results differ by asset and volatility regime.
Non-standard chart types (Heikin-Ashi, Renko, Range) are not supported.

Twisted Forex's Doji + Area StrategyTitle
Twisted Forex’s Doji + Area Strategy
Description
What this strategy does
This strategy looks for doji candles forming inside or near supply/demand areas . Areas are built from swing pivots and sized with ATR, then tracked for retests (“confirmations”). When a doji prints close to an area and quality checks pass, the strategy places a trade with the stop beyond the doji and a configurable R:R target.
How areas (zones) are built
• Swings are detected with a user-set pivot length.
• Each swing spawns a horizontal area centered at the pivot price with half-height = zoneHalfATR × ATR .
• Duplicates are de-duplicated by center distance (ATR-scaled).
• Areas fade when broken beyond a buffer or after an optional age (expiry).
• Retests are recorded when price touches and then bounces away from the area; repeated reactions increase the zone’s “strength”.
Signal logic (summary)
Doji detection: strict or loose body criteria with optional minimum wick fractions and ATR-scaled minimum range.
Proximity: price must be inside/near a supply or demand area (proxATR × ATR).
Side resolution: overlap is resolved by (a) which side price penetrates more, (b) fast/slow EMA trend, or (c) nearest distance. Optional “previous candle flip” can bias long after a bearish candle and short after a bullish one.
Optional 1-bar confirmation: the bar after the doji must close away from the area by confirmATR × ATR .
Quality filter (Off/Soft/Strict): four checks—(i) wick rejection past the edge, (ii) doji closes in an edge “band” of the area, (iii) fresh touch (cooldown), (iv) approach impulse over a short lookback. In Strict , thresholds auto-tighten.
Orders & exits
• Long: stop below doji low minus buffer; Short: above doji high plus buffer.
• Target = rrMultiple × risk distance .
• Pyramiding is off by default.
Position sizing
You can size from the script or from Strategy Properties:
• Script-driven (default): set Position sizing = “Risk % of equity” and choose riskPercent (e.g., 1.0%). The script applies safe floors/rounding (FX micro-lots by default) so quantity never rounds to zero.
• Properties-driven : toggle Use TV Properties → Order size ON, then pick “Percent of equity” in Properties (e.g., 1%). The header includes safe defaults so trades still place.
Key inputs to explore
• Zone building : pivotLen, zoneHalfATR, minDepartureATR, expiryBars, breakATR, leftBars, dedupeATR.
• Doji & proximity : strictDoji, dojiBodyFrac, minWickFrac, minRangeATR, proxATR, minBarsBetween.
• Overlap resolution : usePenetration, useTrend (EMA 21/55), “previous candle flip”, needNextBarConf & confirmATR.
• Quality : qualityMode (Off/Soft/Strict), minQualPass/kStrict, wickPenATR, edgeBandFrac, approachLookback, approachMinATR, freshTouchBars.
• Zone strength gating : minStrengthSoft / minStrengthStrict.
• HTF confluence (optional) : useHTFTrend (HTF EMA 34/89) and/or useHTFZoneProx (HTF swing bands).
Tips to make it cleaner / higher quality
• Turn needNextBarConf ON and use confirmATR = 0.10–0.15 .
• Increase approachMinATR (e.g., 0.35–0.45) to require a stronger pre-touch impulse.
• Raise minStrengthSoft/Strict (e.g., 4–6) so only well-reacted zones can signal.
• Use signalsOnlyConfirmed ON if you prefer trades only from zones with retests (the script falls back gracefully when none exist yet).
• Nudge proxATR to 0.5–0.6 to demand tighter proximity to the level.
• Optional: enable useHTFTrend to filter counter-trend setups.
Default settings used in this publication
• Initial capital: 100,000 (illustrative).
• Slippage: 1 tick; Commission: 0% (you can raise commission if you prefer—spread is partly modeled by slippage).
• Sizing: Risk % of equity via inputs; riskPercent = 1.0% ; FX uses micro-lot floors by default.
• Quality: Off by default (Soft/Strict available).
• HTF trend gate: Off by default.
Backtesting notes
For a meaningful sample size, test on liquid symbols/timeframes that yield 100+ trades (e.g., majors on 5–15m over 1–2 years). Backtests are modelled and broker costs/spread vary—validate on your feed and forward-test.
How to read the chart
Shaded bands are supply (above) and demand (below). Brighter bands are the nearest K per side (visual aid). BUY/SELL labels mark entries; colored dots show entry/SL/TP levels. You can hide zones or unconfirmed zones for a cleaner view.

ATH Line with Date (Editable)Overview:
This indicator draws a continuous horizontal line at the instrument’s All-Time High (ATH) and annotates it with a label that shows the date the ATH was set in dd-mmm-yyyy format. The label is fully configurable (text prefix, side, position, colors, vertical offset), and you can optionally append the ATH price formatted as $ 1.234,56. Built for Pine Script™ v6 and works on any symbol or timeframe.
How it works
• Maintains a running maximum of high.
• Detects the bar where the current ATH occurred and extracts its date.

Notes & behavior:
• Repainting: The ATH level is stable until a higher high appears. When a new ATH is set, the line and date update accordingly—this is expected behavior.
• The ATH is computed from the chart’s current timeframe/history. If the symbol has limited history on your chart, the ATH reflects only the available data.
• No external libraries; no user data is collected.
Alerts:
• Includes New ATH alert condition. Fire it to be notified when price sets a new all-time high.
Tips:
• Use Last bar placement to keep the label visible at the right edge while scrolling.
• If the label overlaps candles or drawings, add a small positive vertical offset.
