Support/Resistance by Oddbeaker LLCThis is a port of an indicator I wrote for MT4 several years ago. At the time it was the only thing available that could accurately plot support/resistance lines in an automated way. Now there are many that do similar things, but I still think this is one of the cleanest and most straightforward ones to use.
Parameters :
Signal Bars - Number of candles to look back for the high and low.
Peak Bar - Which of the candles must be the high or low to be used as the support or resistance level.
Notes :
Setting Peak Bar to 3 gives the most accurate results. Lower values will give false signals and higher values might be late in generating a useful signal.
Adjust your Signal Bars according to the timeframe you use. For example, 20 days worth of candles on 1-hour or higher charts will produce strong entry signals.
Example Chart Settings:
Weekly - 52 / 3
Daily - 20 / 3
4-hour - 120 / 3
1-hour - 480 / 3
5-minute - 72 /3
1-minute - 240 / 3

Auto Fib ZonesAuto Fib Zones is a extension of the ABC finder script that I released. It uses the pivot point system I developed in the ABC finder to identify major or significant trending moves in the market.
It will then draw the fibzones for the trend line. The fib zone will auto update for as long as the trend line continues (size will keep increasing).
The zones will continue to extend to the right along with price until it is tested. The start of the green teal zone is the 0.618 and fills to the 0.786 and the Blue zone is the 0.786 and fills to the trend start or 1 value of the fib.
You can adjust the Bars Back variable to require more or less candles to create/ validate a new trend. In the screen shot about it is set to 50 bars however I've seen good results on higher timeframes like 4h + with 15 bars as the setting.
This is basically ITC's Optimal Trade Entry concept at least that is what the original inspiration for modifying my base script was.
As always hope it helps. God bless
Patrick Walker Flat BaseThis pine script is provide recent support and resistance.
Script will use ema8, ema21, sma50 and sma200 to generate the support and resistance line.
Inspired from Patrick Walker style of trading. This is my personal logic i build studying the charts.
There is 3 types of resistance generated by this script.
1) top resistance 1
when ema8 > ema21 and low > ema8 and gap between ema21 and sma50 is less than 10% and in last 3 days previous 4th days highs is not crossed by close.
2) top resistance 2
when close/open below ema21 and ema8 > ema21 and high >= ema8 and ema21 > sma50 and gap between ema21 and sma50 is less than 10%
3) bottom resistance
when ema8 < ema21 and close/open cross above ema8 but high < ema21
Trend Reversal System with SR levelsHello All,
This is the Trend Reversal System with Support/Resistance levels script. long time ago I published it as closed source but now I upgraded it and and published as open-source with a different name. I hope it would be useful for you all while trading/analyzing.
The script has some parts in it: Setup, Count, SR levels, Risk levels & Targets . Now lets check them:
Setup Part: it has two part, Buy or Sell Setup. one of them can be active only. Buy setup: if current close checks if current is lower/equal than the close of the 5. bar. if yes then the script increases number of buy setup. and if it reaches 9 then the script checks if current low is lower/equal than the lows of last 3. and 4. bars, or if the low of the last bar is lower/equal than the lows of last 3. and 4. bars. if yes then the script increases the buy setup by 1. if these conditions met then it puts the label 'S' , same for Sell setup. S labels on both setup are potential reversals.
Count Part: If buy or sell setup reaches the 9 then Count part starts from 1. lets see buy count: If current close is lower/equal than the low of the 3. bar and buy count is lower than 12 or low of the bar 13 is less than or equal to the close of bar 8 then buy count increase or it's completed. if it's completed then the script puts C label, and it's potential reversal. of course there are some conditions that can cancel the count buy/sell or recycle/restart.
By using Setup and Count levels the script can show Support/Resistance Levels, Risk levels & Targets. SR levels are potential reversal levels.
Lets see some example screenshots:
Support/Resistance levels:
Potential Reversal levels and how setup/counts are shown:
Count part can recycle and the script shows it as 'R' , ( you can see the conditions for Recycle in the script ):
Count can be cancelled and and it's shown as 'x'
If the scripts find 9 on Setup or 13 on Count then it checks if it's a good level to buy/sell and if it decides it's good level then it shows TRSSetup Buy/Sell or TRSCount Buy/Sell and also shows the target. in following example the script checks and decide it's a good level to take long position. it can be aggressive or conservative, Conservative is recommended.
Enjoy!
MATHR3E IMPULSION█ OVERVIEW
MATHR3E IMPULSION is a momentum-based indicator that aims to operate in the direction of the overall price trend,
relying on Fibonacci ratios to identify triggers for extended moves towards exhaustion levels.
█ CONCEPTS
Disclaimer
MATHR3E Impulsion indicator is intended for advanced traders and may fit your profile, whether you are a day trader or a long-term investor.
It was originally developed by a renowned market analyst and documented in numerous books. Among them is the author Jason Perl.
It is recommended to have read the trading techniques mentioned in the books covering this indicator beforehand.
How to use
It is designed to operate in the direction of the overall price trend.
Bullish case:
If a market rallies, pulls back, and then resumes its uptrend without having violated the origin of the advance,
the indicator will identify the inflection price level, at which time sufficient momentum or thrust has been generated to trigger the catalyst for an extension to a higher target level.
Bearish case:
If a market declines, rallies, and then resumes its downtrend without having violated the origin of the decline,
the indicator will identify the bear trigger that should provide the catalyst for an extension to a lower target level.
Definitions:
• X: Initial thrust level
• Y: Initial thrust completion level
• Z: Retracement level of at least 0.236
• A: Momentum (Entry) = 0.236 from Z
• B: Exhaustion (Target) = 0.472 from Z
MATHR3E Impulsion will automatically detect the X, Y and Z points and draw the A and B levels.
The A and B levels are calculated based on two ratios that are derivatives of the Fibonacci numbers:
— The primary level (0.236) is the Momentum which serves as a trigger for extended moves in the direction of the trend.
— The secondary level (0.472) is the likely target, known as the exhaustion level.
Counter-trend:
The indicator is also able to detect counter-trend movements. In this case, the A and B levels are also applied since the last advance/decline.
A distinct coloring will let traders distinguish the trending impulsion from the counter-trending one.
█ FEATURES & BENEFITS
Versatile
The indicator is designed to work with other indicators by the same author, including the identification of exhaustion points.
It highlights trends in progress and potential trend reversal.
Entry and profit taking levels are backed by Fibonacci levels.
This indicator can be applied to any market or time frame
Customizable
The sensitivity of the XYZ points can be configured.
Customizable Fibonacci levels for Momentum and targets levels.
Supply and Demand Visible Range [LuxAlgo]The Supply and Demand Visible Range indicator displays areas & levels on the user's chart for the visible range using a novel volume-based method. The script also makes use of intra-bar data to create precise Supply & Demand zones.
🔶 SETTINGS
Threshold %: Percentage of the total visible range volume used as a threshold to set supply/demand areas. Higher values return wider areas.
Resolution: Determines the number of bins used to find each area. Higher values will return more precise results.
Intra-bar TF: Timeframe used to obtain intra-bar data.
🔶 USAGE
The supply/demand areas and levels displayed by the script are aimed at providing potential supports/resistances for users. The script's behavior makes it recalculate each time the visible chart interval/range changes, as such this script is more suited as a descriptive tool.
Price reaching a supply (upper) area that might have been tested a few times might be indicative of a potential reversal down, while price reaching a demand (lower) area that might have been tested a few times could be indicative of a potential reversal up.
The width of each area can also indicate which areas are more liquid, with thinner areas indicating more significant liquidity.
The user can control the width of each area using the Threshold % setting, with a higher setting returning wider areas. The precision setting can also return wider supply/demand areas if very low values are used and has the benefit of improving the script execution time at the cost of precision.
The Supply and Demand Zones indicator returns various levels. The solid-colored levels display the average of each area, while dashed colored lines display the weighted averages of each area. These weighted averages can highlight more liquid price levels within the supply/demand areas.
Central solid/dashed lines display the average between the areas' averages and weighted averages.
🔶 DETAILS
Each supply/demand area is constructed from volume data. The calculation is done as follows:
The accumulated volume within the chart visible range is calculated.
The chart visible range is divided into N bins of equal width (where N is the resolution setting)
Calculation start from the highest visible range price value for the supply area, and lowest value for the demand area.
The volume within each bin after the starting calculation level is accumulated, once this accumulated volume is equal or exceed the threshold value ( p % of the total visible range volume) the area is set.
Each bin volume accumulation within an area is displayed on the left, this can help indicate how fast volume accumulates within an area.
🔶 LIMITATIONS
The script execution time is dependent on all of the script's settings, using more demanding settings might return errors so make sure to be aware of the potential scenarios that might make the script exceed the allowed execution time:
Having a chart's visible range including a high number of bars.
Using a high number of bins (high resolution value) will increase computation time, this can be worsened by using a high threshold %.
Using very low intra-bar timeframe can drastically increase computation time but can also simply throw an error if the chart timeframe is high.
Users facing issues can lower the resolution value or use the chart timeframe for intra-bar data.
ThiccZonesThis indicator is a formula that includes 4 different zones which are different sizes based on the ticker you decide to use. It was optimized for SPY and other market ETFs but works well for all stocks on the market. The formula puts a zone at the previous day's high and low, and the previous 5 day's high and low. These zones are meant to be used as support and resistance and can even overlap, creating a 'master zone'. This is different than other zone indicators because the formula for these zones is something I created myself and have been unable to find on here. I have had the most success using a 1-15 minute chart and using my zones for reversal areas. I often look for other indications of reversal as well that line up with the area of the zones. It can also be used on the break and retest of these zones. I have found that when a stock breaks one of these zones it will often retest and continue that trend.
Volume Profile Fixed Range Support and Resistance LevelsThis script is based on the excellent Volume Profile / Fixed Range indicator by @LonesomeTheBlue, so all credit for the foundations of this indicator goes to @LonesomeTheBlue
I basically made 5 instances of the original script and added horizontal lines at the beginning and end of the each Value Area. To use the script as a support and resistance tool without the Value Areas and Point of Control (POC) labels you just need to untick "Boxes" and "Labels" in the "Style" section of the “Settings”.
The default look-back periods (in bars) are 7, 30, 60, 180 and 365, but you can change this or the colour of the lines easily in the “Settings”.
The dashed lines are the respective POC.
I find this tool to be very useful for quickly identifying interest levels on any chart while also ensuring a certain amount of objectivity in your TA.
Hope you find it useful and thanks again to @LonesomeTheBlue for going through the trouble of coding this and being so generous to share it with the rest of us!
Good luck out there!
Trend Following with Dynamic Price ZonesThis script provides a complete framework for following trends , especially on those assets which are sufficiently liquid and don't go through random spikes.
Since it is a trend-following system, it works well during trends only. However, I cannot claim any numbers since the execution requires some discretion at the user's end. This framework can also be combined with other technical tools such as trend lines to increase its efficacy.
Features:
Dynamic Price Zones:
• The Dynamic Price Zones (DPZ) are determined using a proprietary logic that incorporates price movement and certain other factors.
• These zones change more rapidly than conventional support and resistance (S/R) zones, which is why I have named them "Dynamic".
• DPZs can serve as support and resistance zones and help with trend identification to some extent.
• The upper boundary of a zone is called Dynamic Price Zone High (DPZ-H) , while the lower boundary is called Dynamic Price Zone Low (DPZ-L) .
Colour Bars:
• Candle colours are based on another proprietary logic, independent of dynamic price zones .
• These are not traditional moving average-based coloured bars, which is evident from the presence of uncoloured bars in between.
• The uncoloured bars indicate periods of uncertain trends .
• Colour functionality helps in smoothening the trend and assists in riding it for as long as possible.
Stats Table:
• RSI
• VWAP
• % Change from the previous day's closing
• Dynamic Price Zone High (DPZ-H) value
• Dynamic Price Zone Low (DPZ-L) value
Settings:
• DPZs are displayed as horizontal lines with background fill by default, but users can toggle lines and background fill on or off.
• Bar colours can be customized according to user preferences.
• The table can be enabled or disabled based on user input.
• The position of the table can be changed based on 4 available options: Top Left, Top Right, Bottom Left, and Bottom Right.
• Users can toggle individual table fields on or off . For example: If the user wants to hide "Vwap" and "%Change" values, he can turn them off. In that case, only 3 fields will be displayed on the table without occupying additional space.
• Background and text colours for each field of the table can be customized based on user preferences.
How to Use the Dynamic Price Zones:
• When the price is above a DPZ, it indicates a bullish trend , suggesting the possibility of higher prices. These zones are termed Bullish DPZs.
• Conversely, if the price is below a DPZ, it signals a bearish trend , with an expectation of lower prices. These zones are termed Bearish DPZs.
• In a trending market, when the price returns to a previous DPZ, it can present a trading opportunity in the direction of the prior trend (e.g., if the market is falling and the price returns to a previous DPZ, it is likely to reject it).
• Consecutive ascending DPZs indicate a shift in buyers from lower to higher levels and can provide buying opportunities. This also indicates a period of a strong bullish trend.
• Similarly, consecutive descending DPZs indicate a shift in sellers from higher to lower levels and can provide selling opportunities. This also indicates a period of a strong bearish trend.
• Please note that we must be flexible when determining the consecutive zones. For example: There may be a few smaller bearish DPZs in between the bullish DPZs but if the area is dominated by the bullish DPZs then we can consider the zones as consecutive. Similar is true for bearish consecutive zones.
• Closely stacked or adjacent zones suggest that prices will likely remain within a range, moving sideways.
• Wider zones act as big hurdles and, the price may struggle to cross them. They may also lead to a sideways movement.
• Zones that remain clean and untested for several sessions are likely to act as strong support or resistance when the price revisits them.

Time settings are coded in the corresponding time zones.
🔶 USAGE
By default, the indicator displays each feature relevant to the most recent price variations in order to avoid clutter on the chart & to provide a very similar experience to how a user would contruct ICT Concepts by hand.
Users can use the historical mode in the settings to see historical market structure/imbalances. The ICT Concepts indicator has various use cases, below we outline many examples of how a trader could find usage of the features together.
In the above image we can see price took out Sellside liquidity, filled two bearish FVGs, a market structure shift, which then led to a clean retest of a bullish FVG as a clean setup to target the order block above.
Price then fills the OB which creates a breaker level as seen in yellow.
Broken OBs can be useful for a trader using the ICT Concepts indicator as it marks a level where orders have now been filled, indicating a solidified level that has proved itself as an area of liquidity. In the image above we can see a trade setup using a broken bearish OB as a potential entry level.
We can see the New Week Opening Gap (NWOG) above was an optimal level to target considering price may tend to fill / react off of these levels according to ICT.
In the next image above, we have another example of various use cases where the ICT Concepts indicator hypothetically allow traders to find key levels & find optimal entry points using market structure.
In the image above we can see a bearish Market Structure Shift (MSS) is confirmed, indicating a potential trade setup for targeting the Balanced Price Range imbalance (BPR) below with a stop loss above the buyside liquidity.
Although what we are demonstrating here is a hindsight example, it shows the potential usage this toolkit gives you for creating trading plans based on ICT Concepts.
Same chart but playing out the history further we can see directly after price came down to the Sellside liquidity & swept below it...
Then by enabling IFVGs in the settings, we can see the IFVG retests alongside the Sellside & Buyside liquidity acting in confluence.
Which allows us to see a great bullish structure in the market with various key levels for potential entries.
Here we can see a potential bullish setup as price has taken out a previous Sellside liquidity zone and is now retesting a NWOG + Volume Imbalance.
Users also have the option to display Fibonacci retracements based on market structure, order blocks, and imbalance areas, which can help place limit/stop orders more effectively as well as finding optimal points of interest beyond what the primary ICT Concepts features can generate for a trader.
In the above image we can see the Fibonacci extension was selected to be based on the NWOG giving us some upside levels above the buyside liquidity.
🔶 DETAILS
Each feature within the ICT Concepts indicator is described in the sub sections below.
🔹 Market Structure
Market structure labels are constructed from price breaking a prior swing point. This allows a user to determine the current market trend based on the price action.
There are two types of Market Structure labels included:
Market Structure Shift (MSS)
Break Of Structure (BOS)
A MSS occurs when price breaks a swing low in an uptrend or a swing high in a downtrend, highlighting a potential reversal. This is often labeled as "CHoCH", but ICT specifies it as MSS.
On the other hand, BOS labels occur when price breaks a swing high in an uptrend or a swing low in a downtrend. The occurrence of these particular swing points is caused by retracements (inducements) that highlights liquidity hunting in lower timeframes.
🔹 Order Blocks
More significant market participants (institutions) with the ability of placing large orders in the market will generally place a sequence of individual trades spread out in time. This is referred as executing what is called a "meta-order".
Order blocks highlight the area where potential meta-orders are executed. Bullish order blocks are located near local bottoms in an uptrend while bearish order blocks are located near local tops in a downtrend.
When price mitigates (breaks out) an order block, a breaker block is confirmed. We can eventually expect price to trade back to this breaker block offering a new trade opportunity.
🔹 Buyside & Sellside Liquidity
Buyside / Sellside liquidity levels highlight price levels where market participants might place limit/stop orders.
Buyside liquidity levels will regroup the stoploss orders of short traders as well as limit orders of long traders, while Sellside liquidity levels will regroup the stoploss orders of long traders as well as limit orders of short traders.
These levels can play different roles. More informed market participants might view these levels as source of liquidity, and once liquidity over a specific level is reduced it will be found in another area.
🔹 Imbalances
Imbalances highlight disparities between the bid/ask, these can also be defined as inefficiencies, which would suggest that not all available information is reflected by the price and would as such provide potential trading opportunities.
It is common for price to "rebalance" and seek to come back to a previous imbalance area.
ICT highlights multiple imbalance formations:
Fair Value Gaps: A three candle formation where the candle shadows adjacent to the central candle do not overlap, this highlights a gap area.
Implied Fair Value Gaps: Unlike the fair value gap the implied fair value gap has candle shadows adjacent to the central candle overlapping. The gap area is constructed from the average between the respective shadow and the nearest extremity of their candle body.
Balanced Price Range: Balanced price ranges occur when a fair value gap overlaps a previous fair value gap, with the overlapping area resulting in the imbalance area.
Volume Imbalance: Volume imbalances highlight gaps between the opening price and closing price with existing trading activity (the low/high overlap the previous high/low).
Opening Gap: Unlike volume imbalances opening gaps highlight areas with no trading activity. The low/high does not reach previous high/low, highlighting a "void" area.
🔹 Displacement
Displacements are scenarios where price forms successive candles of the same sentiment (bullish/bearish) with large bodies and short shadows.
These can more technically be identified by positive auto correlation (a close to open change is more likely to be followed by a change of the same sign) as well as volatility clustering (large changes are followed by large changes).
Displacements can be the cause for the formation of imbalances as well as market structure, these can be caused by the full execution of a meta order.
🔹 Kill Zones
Killzones represent different time intervals that aims at offering optimal trade entries. Killzones include:
- New York Killzone (7:9 ET)
- London Open Killzone (2:5 ET)
- London Close Killzone (10:12 ET)
- Asian Killzone (20:00 ET)
🔶 Conclusion & Supplementary Material
This script aims to emulate how a trader would draw each of the covered features on their chart in the most precise representation to how it's actually taught by ICT directly.
There are many parallels between ICT Concepts and Smart Money Concepts that we released in 2022 which has a more general & simpler usage:
ICT Concepts, however, is more specifically aligned toward the community's interpretation of how to analyze price 'based on ICT', rather than displaying features to have a more classic interpretation for a technical analyst.
Titans Price IncidenceThe Titans Price Incidence indicator is set to display the historical incidence of highs and lows at each price level.
A longer bar indicates a higher occurrence of highs and lows at that price level.
The interval of each price level is determined by a user-defined "degree", which is a multiple of the counter's minimum tick.
For example, a counter with a minimum tick of 0.00001 and a degree of 200 will result in a price interval of 0.002.
As another example, a counter with a minimum tick of 0.001 and a degree of 10000 will result in a price interval of 10.
For convenience the minimum tick of the counter is included as a plot.
The historical period to study is based on a user-defined "lookback", which is the number of candles to look back over.
Finally it is possible to review the indicator display at a certain candle in the past by entering a "reference".
To display the current price incidence, a reference of 0 should be used.
Open RangeThis is a simple script that will look back a set number of candles at a specified time (example: Ny Open) and find the "High and Low " of the range/ market in the given look back period. It will then draw two lines and the range zone as a box. Breakout traders can use these levels to help find interesting areas for a breakout. Reversal traders can use these levels to help locate false breakouts.
Simple type in your time zone Example: GMT-4
Set the time you want the indicator to draw the start line Example: 8:30am
then set the candle look back Example: 60
Hope this script helps spark some ideas
Happy trading
ICT NWOG/NDOG & EHPDA [LuxAlgo]This indicator displays New Week/Day Opening Gaps alongside Event Horizon PD Arrays which were conceptualized by a trader, ICT.
🔶 SETTINGS
Show: Determines if new week opening gaps (NWOG) or new day opening gaps (NDOG) are shown.
Amount: Controls the amount of most recent NWOGs/NDOGs to display on the chart.
Show EHPDA: Displays Event Horizons PD arrays.
🔶 USAGE
New Week/Day Opening Gaps are generally used as potential support or resistance areas.
Trader ICT describes that under consolidating market conditions, price tends to revert towards the opening gap area. This is consistent with other analysis suggesting that price has a tendency to come back toward gaps, ultimately looking to fill them.
ICT also introduces a novel concept, the "Event Horizon PD Array" (EHPDA) which are intermediary levels constructed from the average between the neighboring NWOGs or NDOGs.
EHPDA's are described by ICT as levels that "will not allow price to escape to the NWOG that will create a surge towards the NWOG it got too "close" to but has not yet reached."
All time Fibonacci [ Unlimited ]This indicator can help traders identify key support and resistance levels based on Fibonacci retracements. By displaying these levels on a chart, traders can use them to make informed trading decisions.
Traffic Lights [theEccentricTrader]█ OVERVIEW
This indicator automatically draws higher timeframe support and resistance levels using current peak and trough prices. These prices are also displayed in a table which can be repositioned and resized at the user's discretion.
█ CONCEPTS
Green and Red Candles
• A green candle is one that closes with a close price equal to or above the price it opened.
• A red candle is one that closes with a close 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.
Peak and Trough Prices (Advanced)
• The advanced 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 highest preceding green candle high price, depending on which is higher.
• The advanced 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 lowest preceding red candle low price, 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.
Range
The range is simply the difference between the current peak and current trough prices, generally expressed in terms of points or pips.
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.
Major Traffic Lights
Major traffic light levels are determined using monthly (red solid lines), weekly (orange solid lines) and daily (green solid lines) peak and trough prices.
Minor Traffic Lights
Minor traffic light levels are determined using 4H (red dashed lines), 1H (orange dashed lines) and 15-minute (green dashed lines) peak and trough prices.
█ FEATURES
Inputs
• Advanced Peak and Trough Price Logic
• Show Minor
• Show Major
• Extend Line Type
• Show Table
• Position
• Text Size
If the current timeframe is higher than any of the traffic light timeframes the relevant lines and table cells will automatically be hidden. As can be seen in Figure 1. below, the intraday lines and table cells will only appear if the user scales down to a low enough timeframe.
Figure 1.
█ LIMITATIONS
The green and red candle calculations are based solely 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. 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. Alternatively, you can replace the scenarios with your own logic to account for the gap anomalies, if you are feeling up to the challenge.
It is also worth mentioning that the minor levels will not be displayed if the user selects a custom timeframe between 31 and 44 minutes, and between 46 and 59. All other timeframes should work as intended.
SMC sessionzz by JelleThe main function of this indicator is to make it easy to identify several smart money concepts (SMC) and ICT practices by using a single indicator. The functions themselves are not my original content, but rather a collection of several scripts with some tweaking, combined into a single indicator.
Main functions:
- Provides the ability to set bar color for London, New York and Asia sessions
- Provides the ability to set background color for London, New York and Asia sessions
- Provides the ability to indicate NY and GMT midnight on the chart by plotting vertical lines
- Provides several smart features to turn bar color and background color on/off depending on the timeframe
Usage example:
- Easily determine each session high and low by using the bar color feature
- Easily determine the daily high and low by using the vertical midnight lines
- Easily determine ICT kill zones by setting background color for each session
- Easily avoid clutter on your chart by using the timeframe filters
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.

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.

Fibonacci Ratios HTF [theEccentricTrader]█ OVERVIEW
This indicator automatically draws higher timeframe Fibonacci levels from current peak to current trough or current trough to current peak, depending on where the current wave cycle ends. In the example above I have set the higher timeframe resolution to 1-month and applied it to a daily chart.
█ CONCEPTS

Wave Cycles
A wave cycle is here defined as a complete two-part move between a swing high and a swing low, or a swing low and a swing high. The first swing high or swing low will set the course for the sequence of wave cycles that follow; for example a chart that begins with a swing low will form its first complete wave cycle upon the formation of the first complete swing high and vice versa.
Figure 1.
Range
The range is simply the difference between the current peak and current trough prices, generally expressed in terms of points or pips.
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.

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.
Fibonacci Retracement and Extension Ratios
The Fibonacci sequence is a series of numbers in which each number is the sum of the two preceding numbers, starting with 0 and 1. For example 0 + 1 = 1, 1 + 1 = 2, 1 + 2 = 3, and so on. Ultimately, we could go on forever but the first few numbers in the sequence are as follows: 0 , 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144.
The extension ratios are calculated by dividing each number in the sequence by the number preceding it. For example 0/1 = 0, 1/1 = 1, 2/1 = 2, 3/2 = 1.5, 5/3 = 1.6666..., 8/5 = 1.6, 13/8 = 1.625, 21/13 = 1.6153..., 34/21 = 1.6190..., 55/34 = 1.6176..., 89/55 = 1.6181..., 144/89 = 1.6179..., and so on. The retracement ratios are calculated by inverting this process and dividing each number in the sequence by the number proceeding it. For example 0/1 = 0, 1/1 = 1, 1/2 = 0.5, 2/3 = 0.666..., 3/5 = 0.6, 5/8 = 0.625, 8/13 = 0.6153..., 13/21 = 0.6190..., 21/34 = 0.6176..., 34/55 = 0.6181..., 55/89 = 0.6179..., 89/144 = 0.6180..., and so on.
1.618 is considered to be the 'golden ratio', found in many natural phenomena such as the growth of seashells and the branching of trees. Some now speculate the universe oscillates at a frequency of 0,618 Hz, which could help to explain such phenomena, but this theory has yet to be proven.
Traders and analysts use Fibonacci retracement and extension indicators, consisting of horizontal lines representing different Fibonacci ratios, for identifying potential levels of support and resistance. Fibonacci ranges are typically drawn from left to right, with retracement levels representing ratios inside of the current range and extension levels representing ratios extended outside of the current range. If the current wave cycle ends on a swing low, the Fibonacci range is drawn from peak to trough. If the current wave cycle ends on a swing high the Fibonacci range is drawn from trough to peak.
Although there is some contention over which popular levels are and are not actually Fibonacci ratios, such as 50% and 100%, in this script I have based my retracement level calculations on the ratios of 23.6%, 38.2%, 50%, 61.8%, 78.6% and 100%. And my extension level calculations on the ratios of 161.8%, 261.8%, 361.8%, 423.6% and 461.8%.

Similarly, if the current timeframe is not a factor of the higher timeframe there will be occasions when the left hand offset is out by a couple of bars. This is because the calculations are ultimately based on how many lower timeframe bars there are inside a sequence of higher timeframe bars. The indicator will also behave unexpectedly if the higher timeframe resolution is lower than the current timeframe, but that should be expected.
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.

Long & Short / Bullish & Bearish & Neutral / Sentiment LONG and SHORT signal generation:
The LONG and SHORT signals in this script are generated based on a combination of sentiment, price strength, and volume strength calculations. The following parameters and calculations are used in determining these signals:
Sentiment:
The sentiment is calculated using a Simple Moving Average ( SMA ) of the SMO (oscillator) over a specified sentiment_length.
Price Strength:
The price strength is calculated as the percentage change in the closing price compared to the previous closing price.
Volume Strength:
The volume strength is calculated as the percentage change in the trading volume compared to the previous trading volume .
Custom Oscillator:
This oscillator is calculated as the difference between price strength and volume strength, followed by calculating its SMA over a specified strength_length.
The LONG signal is triggered when:
The sentiment_diff (difference between the oscillator and the SMA oscillator) is greater than 0, and the close price is greater than the fast EMA ( Exponential Moving Average ) of the close price, OR
The custom oscillator crosses over its SMA , and the close price is greater than the open price, and the close price of the previous period is greater than the close price of two periods ago.
The SHORT signal is triggered when:
The sentiment_diff is less than 0, and the close price is less than the fast EMA of the close price, OR
The custom oscillator crosses under its SMA , and the close price is less than the open price, and the close price of the previous period is less than the close price of two periods ago.
Color change description:
The color change in this script is based on the relationship between the close price and the highest/lowest SMAs of the high/low price over a specified lengthInputRoR. The following colors are used:
Green:
Bullish area (close price is greater than the highest SMA of the high price)
Red:
Bearish area (close price is less than the lowest SMA of the low price)
Yellow:
Neutral area (close price is between the highest and lowest SMAs of the high and low prices)
Color meaning description:
Yellow (Neutral Area):
This color indicates that the close price is between the highest and lowest SMAs of the high and low prices, signaling more caution and uncertainty in the market.
Green ( Bullish Area):
This color represents a bullish market condition where the close price is greater than the highest SMA of the high price, suggesting a higher probability of a successful LONG position.
Red ( Bearish Area):
This color signifies a bearish market condition where the close price is less than the lowest SMA of the low price, indicating a higher probability of a successful SHORT position.
Support and Resistance lines explanation:
Support and resistance lines are calculated based on the highest and lowest prices over a specified number of periods. These lines are used to identify significant price levels where the market may experience increased buying or selling pressure.
Resistance:
The resistance line is calculated using the highest high price over a specified number of periods. This line represents a price level where selling pressure is expected to increase, making it more difficult for the price to rise further. Traders often consider resistance levels as potential entry points for SHORT positions or exit points for LONG positions.
Support:
The support line is calculated using the lowest low price over a specified number of periods. This line represents a price level where buying pressure is expected to increase, making it more difficult for the price to fall further. Traders often consider support levels as potential entry points for LONG positions or exit points for SHORT positions.
The resistance and support lines are plotted using different colors to help traders visualize the important price levels where the market may experience a reversal or consolidation.
Final Words:
This script provides LONG and SHORT signals and alerts based on a combination of sentiment, price strength, and volume strength calculations. It is designed to serve as a high-quality aid for executing well-informed trading ideas. However, it's important to note that the LONG and SHORT signals and alerts generated by this script should not be considered as trading advice. Traders should always conduct their own research and analysis before making any trading decisions. The script aims to assist in visualizing important market trends and price levels, helping traders make more informed decisions based on their personal trading strategies.
Bitcoin 30m Swing Trader Long/Short StrategyIntro
I want to share the results of my passionate hobby and the unstoppable chase for a profitable automated trading strategy. It has been created with the intention of trading only Bitcoin. Altcoins are not interesting for me, as I have discovered lots of issues with finding the right parameter values for experiencing a good performance. As altcoins typically follow the trend of bitcoin and characteristically have a high volatility that may cause stop-hunts, I decided to not over complicate this project. I was just aiming for a profitable trading strategy with an acceptable drawdown and enough confidence by a statistically significant number of trades beside a wide backtesting timespan (credits going out to TradingView: Deep Backtesting).
Total time spent on this is approximately 2 years.
Indicators used
RSI: Used for entries and trend reversal spots
MACD: Used for entry and exit optimiziation
ATR: Used for dynamic offsets in trend definition indicator
Custom trend indicator: Self-made indicator, based on simple price action of higher timeframes using pivot points to find support and resistance zones that have formerly been created
Strategy parameters
I have reduced the total parameters used to just a few. It took lots of working hours to find appropriate values along the trading algorithm and I don’t want to overcomplicate it to you.
This strategy is for those, who have been looking for a working strategy. No DIY kit.
Feel free to adapt Take profit or stop loss targets. But it’s not recommended to do so.
How it works
Entries:
I started with a kind of template that I have been using for strategies for a long time. This includes how to find the right Entries during a trend as well as spotting trend reverse opportunities. Here I combine simple indicators like RSI and MACD beside necessary trend conditions. If a target RSI Value is hit, it will enter a trade, after MACD histogram has stopped to fall/rise. Depends on long/short. While we are in a trade and trend reversed, it waits for a specific RSI target level to be hit, to reverse the trade. As simple as it is, it closes the open one and starts a trade in other direction.
Micro trend:
It starts to get more interesting when it comes to trend recognition, as it forms the core of the strategy and discovering appropriate values for it has been very hard. The final trend variable is defined by the responses over higher timeframes of my self-made trend indicator. Executed on the current timeframe, the trend indicator is quite interesting. But for a automated trading strategy it is necessary to deviate trading instructions from higher timeframes trends.
Macro trend:
The same process that happens for micro trend is also applied with much higher timeframes, like 3D or weekly. The basic assumption is, that if we are in a bull or bear run, where retail investors are flooding the markets, we are increasing our take profit targets respectively. This way we can catch bigger moves in bigger trends.
Exits:
Closing a trade generally happens when a TP target (in %) is hit, or the SL (in %) is hit. The strategy has a special treatment with SL’s. After it happens, the strategy is more careful about market conditions and typically waits for a countertrade. The third way of closing a trade has already been mentioned: the reverse trades. They happen during choppy market conditions. The strategy has also special awareness here and tracks, if reverse trades start to happen more often. After a while, it starts to be more restrictive in opening new reverse trades.
Performance
Capabilities and limitations:
As I have already mentioned the strategy is only optimized for bitcoin (Perpetual Futures). This does not mean, it can not be used on other markets, because the algorithm itself is universal appliable. A very hard task was about finding the right parameter values for the strategy performing like this. If you have a special wish to configure this strategy for a specific market, DM me. The strategy has been tested with different configurations on the following timeframes: 30, 15, 10, 5, 1. I have decided to publish the one for 30m TF, because its performance simply convinced me.
Repainting:
It has been tested lots of times against repainting.
Confidence:
The total backtesting performance reaches out to 2019-09-08. So the strategy has been managing to be successful since then, but this does not guarantee that the logic, this strategy follows, is going to continue this level in future.
Commission:
The algorithm is configured with 0.04% commission per trade, as it is on Binance (for Future Market orders).
Ordersize:
Its totally up to you, how much of your total equity should be traded. Nevertheless, I would personally recommend to not exceed 50% ordersize of your equity with this strategy. In the past, you would have had great performance beside a drawdown, that was from psychological point of view good to handle with. This strategy additionally uses STOP LOSSES, so you can never loose you whole ordersize at one trade.
Slippage:
You also must consider about getting slipped when trading this strategy on live markets. Statistically one could assume, that the slippage could be neutral, as it can be both positive or negative. It depends on your execution time, the exchange, on which you are executing trades and market conditions. But keep it in mind, as if you have too much slippage, this strategy would be unprofitable.
Supply and Demand w/ Higher Timeframe and Hidden Zones█ OVERVIEW
This indicator draws Supply and Demand zones using the common methodology of a basing candle followed by a drop/rally candle. The indicator user inputs allow you to configure the parameters for zone identification in two ways. First, by increasing the intensity of the drop/rally candle. Second, by increasing the number of candles that should be grouped to form a base and it's following drop/rally. This allows you to chart zones from higher timeframes and zones that may not be identifiable on the higher timeframes (aka Hidden Zones).
For example, when viewing a chart on the 5min timeframe the "Number of Candles" user input can be set according to the higher timeframe that you want to use to draw zones.
Setting "Number of Candles" to 3 draws zones from the 15min timeframe. (5min * 3 candles = 15min)
Setting "Number of Candles" to 6 draws zones from the 30min timeframe. (5min * 6 candles = 30min)
This functionality also allows for the identification of hidden zones because the first candle in a set on the lower timeframe does not have to align with the candles on the higher timeframe.
█ CONCEPTS
Intensity
For demand zones, the distance between the close of a rally candle and the high of the basing candle is what this indicator refers to as "Intensity".
For supply zones, it is the distance between the close of the drop candle and the low of the basing candle.
Higher Timeframe Zones
This indicator finds higher timeframe zones through the use of the "Number of Candles" user input.
The higher timeframe used will be the product of the chart's current timeframe and the value set for "Number of Candles".
Hidden Zones
A hidden zone is a zone from a higher timeframe that can not be seen when charting with that timeframe.
It can only be found on lower timeframes by grouping candles together to emulate higher timeframe candles.
█ USER INPUTS
Lookback
The Number of Bars back used to find zones.
Zone Configuration
• Drop/Rally Intensity - Increase this to require the drop/rally candle to make a greater move from the basing candle to qualify as a zone.
• Number of Candles - Increase this to draw zones from higher timeframes. The timeframe used will be the product of the chart's current timeframe and the value selected.
Zone Drawing Options
• Include Broken Zones - When unchecked zones that have been broken through will not be drawn.
• Demand Fill/Border - Allows customization of the color and transparency of demand zones.
• Supply Fill/Border - Allows customization of the color and transparency of supply zones.
█ TIPS
1 — Use the indicator multiple times on the chart with the "Number of Candles" input set to different values to have zones from multiple higher timeframes on the chart.
2 — Drop/Rally Intensity set to 0 is not recommended. It will lead to very weak zones being drawn.
