ATR Trailing Stop with ATR Targets [v6]What the Indicator Does
This custom TradingView indicator is designed for active traders who want to automate and visualize their trailing stop management and target setting, using true market volatility. It combines the Average True Range (ATR) with dynamic market structure logic to:
Trail a stop-loss behind major swings in real time, using 2×ATR (adjustable) from the highest high in uptrends or the lowest low in downtrends.
Flip trading bias between bullish and bearish when the stop is breached.
Identify and plot three profit targets (at 1, 2, and 3 ATR from the breakout/flip point) after every stop-flip, helping traders scale out or set take-profits objectively.
Maintain a visible presence on your chart every bar to avoid indicator errors, with color and labeling for clear distinction between long/short phases.
How the Indicator Works
1. ATR Calculation
ATR Period and Multiplier: You select your preferred ATR length (default is 14 bars) and a multiplier (default is 2.0).
Volatility Adjustment: ATR measures the average "true" bar range, so the trailing stop and targets adapt to current volatility.
2. Trailing Stop Logic
Uptrend (bullish bias): The indicator tracks the highest high made since the last bearish-to-bullish flip and sets the stop at - .
The stop only raises (never lowers) during an uptrend, protecting gains in strong moves.
Downtrend (bearish bias): Tracks the lowest low made since the last bullish-to-bearish flip, with stop at + .
The stop only lowers (never raises) in a downtrend.
Flip Point: If price closes through the trailing stop, the current bias “flips,” and the logic reverses (bullish to bearish or vice versa). At the new close, flip price and bar index are stored for target calculation.
3. ATR Targets after Flip
After each stop flip:
Three targets—based on the new close price—are calculated and plotted:
Long flip (new bull bias): Target1 = close + 1×ATR, Target2 = close + 2×ATR, Target3 = close + 3×ATR.
Short flip (new bear bias): Target1 = close - 1×ATR, Target2 = close - 2×ATR, Target3 = close - 3×ATR.
These targets help with scaling out, partial profit-taking, or setting automated orders.
4. Visual Feedback
Trailing stop line: Green for long bias, red for short bias.
Targets: Distinct color-coded circles at 1, 2, 3 ATR levels from the most recent flip.
Flip Labels: Mark the bar and price where bias flipped (“Long Flip” or “Short Flip”) for quick pattern recognition.
Subtle background shading: Ensures TradingView's requirement for “indicator output every bar.”
How to Use This Indicator
Parameter Setup
ATR Period and Multiplier: Adjust to match the timeframe and volatility of your instrument.
Lower periods/multipliers for short-term/volatile trading.
Higher values for smoother signals or higher timeframes.
Starting Trend: Set to match the expected initial bias if the instrument has strong trend characteristics.
Trading Application
1. Daily Bias Approach
Establish your bias in line with your trading plan (e.g., only trade long if price is above the previous day's high, short below the previous day's low).
Only look for trades in the indicator's current bias direction, as expressed by the stop and background color.
2. Entry
Use the indicator as a real-time confirmation or trailing stop for your entries.
Breakout: Enter when price establishes the current bias, using the trailing stop as your risk level.
Reversal: Wait for a bias flip after an extended move; enter in the direction of the new bias.
VWAP Rebound: Combine with a VWAP bounce—enter only if the indicator bias supports your direction.
3. Exits/Targets
Trailing stop management: Move your stop according to the plotted line; exit if your stop is hit.
Profit-taking: Scale out or take profits as price approaches each ATR-based target.
Use the dynamic labeling to identify reversal flips and reset your plan if stopped or the bias changes.
4. Market Context
Filter and frame setups by watching correlated indicators (DXY, VIX, AUDJPY, put/call ratio) and upcoming news; trade only in the daily bias direction for best consistency.
5. Practical Tips
Combine this indicator with your custom watchlist and alert settings to get notified on flips or targets.
Review the last label ("Long Flip"/"Short Flip") and targets to plan partial exits.
Remember: ATR adapts to volatility, so the stop and targets stay proportionate even when price action shifts.

Momentum Shift [Bigbeluga]
This indicator identifies momentum shifts using a smoothed momentum calculation. It plots dynamic shift zones consisting of five levels that expand or contract based on price action. When momentum rises, the indicator creates an upward shift zone, and when momentum falls, it generates a downward shift zone. The shift zones dynamically react to price, stopping extension when a level is crossed.
🔵Key Features:
Smoothed Momentum Calculation:
➣ Utilizes a Hull Moving Average (HMA) to smooth momentum and reduce noise.
➣ Identifies momentum shifts with crossovers between the current momentum value and its previous state.
➣ Uses a gradient color scheme to highlight momentum strength.
Dynamic Shift Zones:
➣ When momentum rises, the indicator plots an upper shift zone with five incremental levels.
➣ When momentum falls, a lower shift zone is formed with five descending levels.
➣ Each level within the shift zone represents a progressively stronger momentum shift.
Level Extension Control:
➣ Shift zones stop extending once a level is crossed by price.
➣ Levels closer to price act as key momentum resistance or support zones.
➣ If price retraces after a shift, the remaining levels stay intact for further reference.
Momentum Direction Indications:
➣ Labels (▲ and ▼) appear at momentum shift points to indicate rising or falling momentum.
🔵Usage:
Momentum-Based Entries: Identify momentum shifts early by using shift zones as confirmation for trade entries.
Trend Continuation & Exhaustion: Observe which shift levels price respects—if momentum shift zones hold, the trend may continue; if they break, momentum may reverse.
Dynamic Support & Resistance: Use the five-level shift zones as temporary support and resistance areas that adapt to momentum shifts.
Momentum Strength Analysis: If price moves through multiple shift levels in one direction, it signals strong momentum in that direction.
Momentum Shift is a powerful tool for traders looking to analyze momentum shifts with structured visual zones. By combining smoothed momentum calculations with dynamic shift zones, this indicator provides a clear view of market momentum and helps traders navigate price action effectively.
The Curved Market Structure [BigBeluga]Curved Market Structure
The Curved Market Structure indicator offers an innovative twist on traditional market structure tools by using curved lines instead of horizontal ones, enabling faster breakout detection for traders.
🔵Key Features:
Curved Market Structure Levels: The indicator identifies high and low pivots and plots curved lines connecting these points, adapting to market dynamics and providing a more intuitive view of potential breakout zones.
Breakout Detection: Breakouts above or below the curved levels are marked with triangle symbols (▲ or ▼), making it easy to spot critical price movements.
Dynamic Target Levels: After a breakout, the indicator plots three target levels, which serve as potential price objectives. Each target is marked with a number and a star (e.g., 1★) upon being reached.
Customizable Line Length and Angle: Users can adjust the length and angle of the curved lines to fit their trading style and timeframe, making the tool versatile and adaptable.
Market Structure Trend Filtering: To maintain a clean chart, the indicator plots curved levels only from high pivots during uptrends and low pivots during downtrends.
🔵How It Works:
The indicator identifies high and low pivots using user-defined parameters (left and right bars).
Curved lines are drawn from these pivot points, showing the structure of the market and potential breakout zones.
When a breakout occurs, the indicator highlights the direction with triangle symbols and dynamically plots three price targets.
Upon reaching these targets, the level is marked with its respective number and a star, helping traders track price progression effectively.
The lines and targets are adjusted based on market conditions, ensuring real-time relevance and accuracy.
🔵Use Cases:
Spotting key breakout zones to identify entry and exit points more effectively.
Setting dynamic target levels for take-profit or stop-loss planning.
Filtering market noise and maintaining a cleaner chart while analyzing trends.
Enhancing traditional market structure analysis with an intuitive curved visualization.
This indicator is ideal for traders who want a modern, dynamic, and visually appealing way to track market structure and breakouts while maintaining chart clarity.
Target Trend [BigBeluga]The Target Trend indicator is a trend-following tool designed to assist traders in capturing directional moves while managing entry, stop loss, and profit targets visually on the chart. Using adaptive SMA bands as the core trend detection method, this indicator dynamically identifies shifts in trend direction and provides structured exit points through customizable target levels.
SP500:
🔵 IDEA
The Target Trend indicator’s concept is to simplify trade management by providing automated visual cues for entries, stops, and targets directly on the chart. When a trend change is detected, the indicator prints an up or down triangle to signal entry direction, plots three customizable target levels for potential exits, and calculates a stop-loss level below or above the entry point. The indicator continuously adapts as price moves, making it easier for traders to follow and manage trades in real time.
When price crosses a target level, the label changes to a check mark, confirming that the target has been achieved. Similarly, if the stop-loss level is hit, the label changes to an "X," and the line becomes dashed, indicating that the stop loss has been activated. This feature provides traders with a clear visual trail of whether their targets or stop loss have been hit, allowing for easier trade tracking and exit strategy management.
🔵 KEY FEATURES & USAGE
SMA Bands for Trend Detection: The indicator uses adaptive SMA bands to identify the trend direction. When price crosses above or below these bands, a new trend is detected, triggering entry signals. The entry point is marked on the chart with a triangle symbol, which updates with each new trend change.
Automated Targets and Stop Loss Management: Upon a new trend signal, the indicator automatically plots three price targets and a stop loss level. These levels provide traders with structured exit points for potential gains and a clear risk limit. The stop loss is placed below or above the entry point, depending on the trend direction, to manage downside risk effectively.
Visual Target and Stop Loss Validation: As price hits each target, the label beside the level updates to a check mark, indicating that the target has been reached. Similarly, if the stop loss is activated, the stop loss label changes to an "X," and the line becomes dashed. This feature visually confirms whether targets or stop losses are hit, simplifying trade management.
The indicator also marks the entry price at each trend change with a label on the chart, allowing traders to quickly see their initial entry point relative to current price and target levels.
🔵 CUSTOMIZATION
Trend Length: Set the lookback period for the trend-detection SMA bands to adjust the sensitivity to trend changes.
Targets Setting: Customize the number and spacing of the targets to fit your trading style and market conditions.
Visual Styles: Adjust the appearance of labels, lines, and symbols on the chart for a clearer view and personalized layout.
🔵 CONCLUSION
The Target Trend indicator offers a streamlined approach to trend trading by integrating entry, target, and stop loss management into a single visual tool. With automatic tracking of target levels and stop loss hits, it helps traders stay focused on the current trend while keeping track of risk and reward with minimal effort.
Opening Range with Breakouts & Targets [LuxAlgo]Opening Range with Breakouts & Targets is based on the long-standing Opening Range Breakout strategy popularized by traders such as Toby Crabel and Mark Fisher.
This indicator measures and displays the price range created from the first period within a new trading session, along with price breakouts from that range and targets associated with the range width.
🔶 USAGE
The Opening Range (OR) can be a powerful tool for making a clear distinction between ranging and trending trading days. Using a rigid structure for drawing a range, provides a consistent basis to make judgments and comparisons that will better assist the user in determining a hypothesis for the day's price action.
NOTE: During a suspected "Range Day", the Opening Range can be used for reversion strategies, typically targeting the opposite extreme of the range or the mean of the range. However, more commonly the Opening Range is used for breakouts on suspected "Trend Days", targeting further upward or downward market movement.
The common Opening Range Breakout Strategy (ORB) outlines a structure to enter and exit positions based on rigid points determined by the Opening Range. This methodology can be adjusted based on markets or trading styles.
Determine Opening Range High & Low: These are the high and low price within a chosen period of time after the market opens. This can be customized to the user's trading style and preference. Common Ranges are from 5-60 mins.
Watch for a Breakout with Volume: A Breakout occurs when price crosses the OR High (ORH) or OR Low (ORL), an increase in volume is typically desired when witnessing these breakouts to confirm a stronger movement.
Manage Risk: Based on user preference and the appropriately determined amount of risk, multiple ways can be determined to manage risk by using Opening Range.
For Example: A stop-loss could be set at OR Mean (ORM) or the opposite side of the range, while a profit target could optionally be set at the first price target generated by the script.
Alternatively, a user might want to use a Moving Average (MA) as an adaptive stop-loss and use price targets to scale out. These are just 2 examples of the possible options, both capable with this tool.
🔹 Signals
Signals will fire based on the break of the opening range, this is indicated by arrows above and below the range boundaries.
Optionally, a bias can be added to these signals to aid in mitigating false signals by using a directional filter based on the current day's OR relative to the previous day's OR.
Regardless of the signal bias being enabled, the Opening Range Zone will always be colored directionally according to this.
If the current day's OR is above the previous day's OR, the Zone will be Green.
If the current day's OR is below the previous day's OR, the Zone will be Red.
By enabling the signal bias, signals in the opposite direction of the daily bias will fire on the cross of the first target in that direction.
🔹 Targets
In this indicator, targets are not limited and will generate infinitely based on a % width of the Opening Range.
Additionally, there are 2 display methods for these targets.
Extended: Extends the targets to the current bar and displays all targets that have been crossed so far within the session.
Adaptive: Extends only the 2 closest targets surrounding price, allowing for a display consisting of fewer lines at one time.
🔶 DETAILS
🔹 Historical Display
This indicator can be utilized in multiple ways, for use in real-time, and for historical analysis to form methods. Because of this, the indicator has an option to display only the current day's data or the entire historical data. This can also help clean up the chart when it is in use.
🔹 Time Period
The specific time period to create the opening range is entirely up to each user's preference, by default it is set to 30 mins; however, this time period can be edited with full control if desired.
Simply toggle on the "Custom Range" and input a range of time to create the range.
🔹 Session Moving Average
The Session Moving Average is a common Moving Average, which resets at the beginning of a new session. This allows for an unbiased MA that was created entirely from the current session's price action.
Note: The start of the session is determined by the start of the Opening Range if using a custom range of time.
🔶 SETTINGS
Show Historical Data: Choose to display only the current session's data or the full history of data.
Opening Range Time Period: Select the time period to form the opening range from. This operates on Session Start, so it will change with the chart.
Custom Range: Opt for a custom Range by enabling this and inputting your range times as well as your needed timezone.
Breakout Signal Bias: Select if the Breakout Signals will use a Daily Directional Bias for firing.
Target % of Range: Sets the % of the Range width that will be used as an increment for the Targets to display in.
Target Cross Source: Choose to use the Close price or High/Low price as the crossing level for Target displays. When this source crosses a target it will generate more targets.
Target Display: Choose which style of display to use for targets.
Session Moving Average: Optionally enable a Moving average of your choice that resets at the beginning of each session (start of opening range).
Fundur - Easy ZonesFundur Easy Zones Trading Indicator
The Fundur Easy Zones trading indicator is designed to simplify market analysis by visually marking critical trading zones. This tool helps traders identify optimal buy and sell areas based on historical price action, making it easier to make informed trading decisions.
Calculation Methodology
The Easy Zones indicator employs pivot point calculations combined with price action analysis and the Average True Range (ATR) to determine key trading zones. These zones are calculated by analyzing market volatility and price movements within each timeframe, allowing the identification of significant discount and premium levels.
Pivot Points: The indicator calculates pivot points based on the average of high, low, and close prices from previous periods. These pivot points serve as the foundational levels from which discount and premium zones are derived.
Price Action Analysis: Historical price data is scrutinized to identify patterns and behaviors that signify potential reversal points. This analysis helps in pinpointing zones where the market is likely to experience significant support (discount) or resistance (premium).
Average True Range (ATR): ATR is used to measure market volatility. By incorporating ATR into the calculations, the indicator adjusts the zone boundaries to reflect current market conditions, ensuring that the zones remain relevant and accurate. Higher ATR values indicate greater volatility and wider zones, while lower ATR values result in narrower zones.
Discount and Premium Levels: Based on the pivot points and ATR, the indicator calculates various tiers of discount and premium levels. These tiers (D1, D2, D3 for discounts and P1, P2, P3 for premiums) represent increasing levels of price deviation from the mean, providing traders with clear entry and exit points.
Features Overview
Zones Settings:
Zones History Length: Adjust the number of historical zones displayed on the chart to analyze past price behavior.
Levels Line Width: Customize the thickness of the zone lines for better visibility.
Structure Settings:
Show Fair Value: Display the fair value zone, providing a visual reference for equilibrium price levels. The fair value is calculated based on the median price over the selected period.
DP (Discount and Premium) Settings:

How to Use the Easy Zones Indicator
Identifying Entry Points:
Use the Discount Zones to identify optimal buy areas. The levels (D1, D2, D3) represent increasing levels of discount, with D1 being the least discounted and D3 the most.
Place buy orders at or near these zones to take advantage of potential price reversals.
Identifying Exit Points:
Use the Premium Zones to identify optimal sell areas. The levels (P1, P2, P3) represent increasing levels of premium, with P1 being the least and P3 the highest.
Place sell orders at or near these zones to maximize profits on upward price movements.
Using Fair Value:
The Fair Value Zone provides a balanced price level where the market is likely to return. Use this as a reference point for setting realistic entry and exit targets.
Strategic Planning:
Combine Discount and Premium Zones with the Fair Value Zone to create a strategic trading plan.
Monitor the zones for price reactions and adjust your trading strategy accordingly.
Best Practices

Market Structure Targets Model [LuxAlgo]The Market Structure Targets Model indicator provides an algorithmic approach to setting targets from market structure shifts (MSS) and market structure breaks (MSB), two popular Smart Money Concept (SMC) concepts. Depending on the target % settings, they can be used as take profit, confirmation levels, or potential reversal points.
🔶 USAGE
Our Market Structure Targets Model scripts provide automated and customizable targets from MSS and MSB. Each displayed target can be used in several ways described in the sub-sections below:
🔹 Take Profit
The targets can be used as take profit levels, where the target distance can be set separately for bullish/bearish MSS/MSB respectively.
🔹 Confirmation Levels
Alternatively, targets can be used as an additional confirmation level of a trend reversal when set at a lower percentage, filtering out fake signals that might be given from market structures. In this way, targets can be used as potential entry levels.
🔹 Potential Reversal Points
In some circumstances, targets being reached can be indicative of trend reversals. The percentage of the targets would be typically set higher to allow for trend exhaustion.
The above examples highlight this usage for bearish reversal scenarios, while the image below highlights it for bullish reversal scenarios.
🔹 Support/Resistance Levels
The targets, being horizontal levels, can also serve as potential support/resistances, with breakouts potentially confirming new trends. It is important to remain observant of the market structure. An MSS or MSB in the opposite direction provides essential information to be included in future decisions.
Using multiple timeframes can help detect longer-term trends. Depending on the user's preference, they can choose the appropriate timeframe for their needs.
Note that Target lines will only be drawn when the Target Level exceeds the close value when it is drawn.
🔹 Maximum Target Duration
The Maximum Target Duration setting removes unreached target levels when the amount of bars since the associated market structure of that target exceeds the user set limit. This effectively allows the removal of any target that might no longer be relevant to newer trends.
🔹 Type: Switch/Hold
This setting is another way to control unreached target levels.
Switch: When a new MSS/MSB is found, the previous target level associated with a market structure with the same direction (bullish/bearish) is deleted if it hasn't been reached.
Hold: Target levels are retained and continuously evaluated when a new MSS/MSB is formed.
The target level will be removed in both cases when the Maximum Target Duration condition is applied.
The above example shows the case when the Type setting is set to Switch , while in the example below, it is set to Hold .
🔶 DETAILS
🔹 Market Structure
Market structures are commonly classified as follows:
Market Structure Shift (MSS), also referred to as Change of Character (CHoCH)
Market Structure Break (MSB), also referred to as Break of Structure (BOS)
MSS indicates a shift in the market trend, confirming trend reversals. Conversely, MSB occurs once a trend is already determined, confirming new higher highs/lower lows.
🔹 Targets
A: Highest/lowest between the extremities of the MSS/MSB line
B: Price value of the MSS/MSB line
The distance between A and B is projected on the opposite side of the MSS/MSB line, adjusted with a percentage that can be set by the user. The above example used 100% of the distance between A and B.
The Target Percentage of MSS and MSB can be set separately for bullish or bearish market structures.
🔶 SETTINGS
Swings: Period used for the swing detection, with higher values returning longer-term Swing Levels.
Type: the Switch/Hold setting controls unattained target levels
Maximum Target Duration: removes the target lines when the amount of bars since the drawing of the target exceeds the limit and the target has not been reached
🔹 Market Structure Shift (MSS)
Bullish: Toggle, color setting, % Target
Bearish: Toggle, color setting, % Target
🔹 Market Structure Break (MSB)
Bullish: Toggle, color setting, % Target
Bearish: Toggle, color setting, % Target

Ichimoku Theories [LuxAlgo]The Ichimoku Theories indicator is the most complete Ichimoku tool you will ever need. Four tools combined into one to harness all the power of Ichimoku Kinkō Hyō.
This tool features the following concepts based on the work of Goichi Hosoda:
Ichimoku Kinkō Hyō: Original Ichimoku indicator with its five main lines and kumo.
Time Theory: automatic time cycle identification and forecasting to understand market timing.
Wave Theory: automatic wave identification to understand market structure.
Price Theory: automatic identification of developing N waves and possible price targets to understand future price behavior.
🔶 ICHIMOKU KINKŌ HYŌ
Ichimoku with lines only, Kumo only and both together
Let us start with the basics: the Ichimoku original indicator is a tool to understand the market, not to predict it, it is a trend-following tool, so it is best used in trending markets.
Ichimoku tells us what is happening in the market and what may happen next, the aim of the tool is to provide market understanding, not trading signals.
The tool is based on calculating the mid-point between the high and low of three pre-defined ranges as the equilibrium price for short (9 periods), medium (26 periods), and long (52 periods) time horizons:
Tenkan sen: middle point of the range of the last 9 candles
Kinjun sen: middle point of the range of the last 26 candles
Senkou span A: middle point between Tankan Sen and Kijun Sen, plotted 26 candles into the future
Senkou span B: midpoint of the range of the last 52 candles, plotted 26 candles into the future
Chikou span: closing price plotted 26 candles into the past
Kumo: area between Senkou pans A and B (kumo means cloud in Japanese)
The most basic use of the tool is to use the Kumo as an area of possible support or resistance.
🔶 TIME THEORY
Current cycles and forecast
Time theory is a critical concept used to identify historical and current market cycles, and use these to forecast the next ones. This concept is based on the Kihon Suchi (translating to "Basic Numbers" in Japanese), these are 9 and 26, and from their combinations we obtain the following sequence:
9, 17, 26, 33, 42, 51, 65, 76, 129, 172, 200, 257
The main idea is that the market moves in cycles with periods set by the Kihon Suchi sequence.
When the cycle has the same exact periods, we obtain the Taito Suchi (translating to "Same Number" in Japanese).
This tool allows traders to identify historical and current market cycles and forecast the next one.
🔹 Time Cycle Identification
Presentation of 4 different modes: SWINGS, HIGHS, KINJUN, and WAVES .
The tool draws a horizontal line at the bottom of the chart showing the cycles detected and their size.
The following settings are used:
Time Cycle Mode: up to 7 different modes
Wave Cycle: Which wave to use when WAVE mode is selected, only active waves in the Wave Theory settings will be used.
Show Time Cycles: keep a cleaner chart by disabling cycles visualisation
Show last X time cycles: how many cycles to display
🔹 Time Cycle Forecast
Showcasing the two forecasting patterns: Kihon Suchi and Taito Suchi
The tool plots horizontal lines, a solid anchor line, and several dotted forecast lines.
The following settings are used:
Show time cycle forecast: to keep things clean
Forecast Pattern: comes in two flavors
Kihon Suchi plots a line from the anchor at each number in the Kihon Suchi sequence.
Taito Suchi plot lines from the anchor with the same size detected in the anchored cycle
Anchor forecast on last X time cycle: traders can place the anchor in any detected cycle
🔶 WAVE THEORY
All waves activated with overlapping
The main idea behind this theory is that markets move like waves in the sea, back and forth (making swing lows and highs). Understanding the current market structure is key to having realistic expectations of what the market may do next. The waves are divided into Simple and Complex.
The following settings are used:
Basic Waves: allows traders to activate waves I, V and N
Complex Waves: allows traders to activate waves P, Y and W
Overlapping waves: to avoid missing out on any of the waves activated
Show last X waves: how many waves will be displayed
🔹 Basic Waves
The three basic waves
The basic waves from which all waves are made are I, V, and N
I wave: one leg moves
V wave: two legs move, one against the other
N wave: Three legs move, push, pull back, and another push
🔹 Complex Waves
Three complex waves
There are other waves like
P wave: contracting market
Y wave: expanding market
W wave: double top or double bottom
🔶 PRICE THEORY
All targets for the current N wave with their calculations
This theory is based on identifying developing N waves and predicting potential price targets based on that developing wave.
The tool displays 4 basic targets (V, E, N, and NT) and 3 extended targets (2E and 3E) according to the calculations shown in the chart above. Traders can enable or disable each target in the settings panel.
🔶 USING EVERYTHING TOGETHER
Please DON'T do this. This is not how you use it
Now the real example:
Daily chart of Nasdaq 100 futures (NQ1!) with our Ichimoku analysis
Time, waves, and price theories go together as one:
First, we identify the current time cycles and wave structure.
Then we forecast the next cycle and possible key price levels.
We identify a Taito Suchi with both legs of exactly 41 candles on each I wave, both together forming a V wave, the last two I waves are part of a developing N wave, and the time cycle of the first one is 191 candles. We forecast this cycle into the future and get 22nd April as a key date, so in 6 trading days (as of this writing) the market would have completed another Taito Suchi pattern if a new wave and time cycle starts. As we have a developing N wave we can see the potential price targets, the price is actually between the NT and V targets. We have a bullish Kumo and the price is touching it, if this Kumo provides enough support for the price to go further, the market could reach N or E targets.
So we have identified the cycle and wave, our expectations are that the current cycle is another Taito Suchi and the current wave is an N wave, the first I wave went for 191 candles, and we expect the second and third I waves together to amount to 191 candles, so in theory the N wave would complete in the next 6 trading days making a swing high. If this is indeed the case, the price could reach the V target (it is almost there) or even the N target if the bulls have the necessary strength.
We do not predict the future, we can only aim to understand the current market conditions and have future expectations of when (time), how (wave), and where (price) the market will make the next turning point where one side of the market overcomes the other (bulls vs bears).

TrendLine ScythesTrendline Scythes is a script designed to automatically detect and draw special curved trendlines, resembling scythes or blades, based on pivotal points in price action. These trendlines adapt to the volatility of the market, providing a unique perspective on trend dynamics.
🔲 Methodology
Traditional trendlines connect consecutive pivot points on a price chart, providing a linear representation of trend direction. However, this script employs a distinctive methodology by automatically detecting price pivots and then calculating special curved trendlines based on the Average True Range (ATR) of the price. This introduces a curvature to the trendlines, resembling scythes, offering a unique way to interpret market trends.
🔲 Auto Breakout and Target Detection
Trendline Scythes includes features for automatic breakout detection, signaling potential trend changes. Additionally, the script assists in target detection, helping traders set realistic and data-driven profit-taking levels based on market volatility and user adjustment.
🔲 Utility
Trend Confirmation - Use Trendline Scythes to confirm existing trends by observing how price interacts with the curved trendlines.
Breakout Signals - Auto-detection of breakouts adds a proactive element to your trading strategy, helping you stay ahead of potential trend reversals.
Target Setting - Utilize the script to set profit-taking targets based on volatility, aligning with the current market conditions.
🔲 Settings
Pivot Length - Swing detection length
Scythe Length - Adjusts the length of the scythes blade
Sensitivity - Controls how restrained the target calculation is, higher values will result in tighter targets.
🔲 Alerts

Breakdown
Target Reached
Target Invalidated
As well as the option to trigger 'any alert' call.
Trendline Scythes is a versatile tool combining the benefits of traditional trendlines with the dynamic adaptability of curved lines for a unique approach to trend analysis.
Targets For Many Indicators [LuxAlgo]The Targets For Many Indicators is a useful utility tool able to display targets for many built-in indicators as well as external indicators. Targets can be set for specific user-set conditions between two series of values, with the script being able to display targets for two different user-set conditions.
Alerts are included for the occurrence of a new target as well as for reached targets.
🔶 USAGE
Targets can help users determine the price limit where the price might start deviating from an indication given by one or multiple indicators. In the context of trading, targets can help secure profits/reduce losses of a trade, as such this tool can be useful to evaluate/determine user take profits/stop losses.
Due to these essentially being horizontal levels, they can also serve as potential support/resistances, with breakouts potentially confirming new trends.
In the above example, we set targets 3 ATR's away from the closing price when the price crosses over the script built-in SuperTrend indicator using ATR period 10 and factor 3. Using "Long Position Target" allows setting a target above the price, disabling this setting will place targets below the price.
Users might be interested in obtaining new targets once one is reached, this can be done by enabling "New Target When Reached" in the target logic setting section, resulting in more frequent targets.
Lastly, users can restrict new target creation until current ones are reached. This can result in fewer and longer-term targets, with a higher reach rate.
🔹 Dashboard
A dashboard is displayed on the top right of the chart, displaying the amount, reach rate of targets 1/2, and total amount.
This dashboard can be useful to evaluate the selected target distances relative to the selected conditions, with a higher reach rate suggesting the distance of the targets from the price allows them to be reached.

Target Distance From Price: Controls the distance of a target from the price. Can be determined in currencies/points, percentages, ATR multiples, ticks, or using multiple of external values.
External Distance Value: External distance value when "External Value" is selected in "Target Distance From Price".
Targets For Overlay Indicators [LuxAlgo]The Targets For Overlay Indicators is a useful utility tool able to display targets during crossings made between the price and external indicators on the user chart. Users can display a series of two targets, one for crossover events and another one for crossunder event.
Alerts are included for the occurrence of a new target as well as for reached targets.
🔶 USAGE
In order for targets to be displayed users need to select an appropriate input source from the "Source" drop-down input setting. In the example above we apply the indicator to a volatility stop.
This can also easily be done by adding the "Targets For Overlay Indicators" script on the VStop indicator directly.
Targets can help users determine the price limit where the price might start deviating from an indication given by one or multiple indicators. In the context of trading, targets can help secure profits/reduce losses of a trade, as such this tool can be useful to evaluate/determine user take profits/stop losses.
Due to these essentially being horizontal levels, they can also serve as potential support/resistances, with breakouts potentially confirming new trends.
Users might be interested in obtaining new targets once one is reached, this can be done by enabling "New Target When Reached" in the target logic setting section, resulting in more frequent targets.
Lastly, users can restrict new target creation until current ones are reached. This can result in fewer and longer-term targets, with a higher reach rate.
🔹 Examples
The indicator can be applied to many overlay indicators that naturally produce crosses with the price, such as moving average, trailing stops, bands...etc.
Users can use trailing stops such as the SuperTrend or VStop to more easily create clean targets. Do note that certain SuperTrend scripts separate the upper and lower extremities of the SuperTrend into two different plot, which cannot be used with this tool, you may use the provided SuperTrend script below to have a compatible version with our tool:
//@version=5
indicator("SuperTrend", overlay = true)
factor = input.float(3, 'Factor', minval = 0)
atrLen = input.int(10, 'ATR Length', minval = 1)
= ta.supertrend(factor, atrLen)
plot(spt, 'SuperTrend', dir != dir ? na : dir < 0 ? #089981 : #f23645, 2)
plot(spt, 'Circles', dir > dir ? #f23645 : dir < dir ? #089981 : na, 3, plot.style_circles)
Using moving averages can produce more targets than other overlay indicators.
Users can apply the tool twice when using bands or any overlay indicator returning two outputs, using crossover targets for obtaining targets using the upper band as source and crossunder targets for targets using the lower band. We can also use the Trendlines with breaks indicator as example:
🔹 Dashboard
A dashboard is displayed on the top right of the chart, displaying the amount, reach rate of targets 1/2, and total amount.
This dashboard can be useful to evaluate the selected target distances relative to the selected conditions, with a higher reach rate suggesting the distance of the targets from the price allows them to be reached.
🔶 SETTINGS

Ranges With Targets [ChartPrime]The Ranges With Targets indicator is a tool designed to assist traders in identifying potential trading opportunities on a chart derived from breakout trading. It dynamically outlines ranges with boxes in real-time, providing a visual representation of price movements. When a breakout occurs from a range, the indicator will begin coloring the candles. A green candle signals a long breakout, suggesting a potential upward movement, while a red candle indicates a short breakout, suggesting a potential downward movement. Grey candles indicate periods with no active trade. Ranges are derived from daily changes in price action.
This indicator builds upon the common breakout theory in trading whereby when price breaks out of a range; it may indicate continuation in a trend.
Additionally, users have the ability to customize their risk-reward settings through a multiplier referred to as the Target input. This allows traders to set their Take Profit (TP) and Stop Loss (SL) levels according to their specific risk tolerance and trading strategy.
Furthermore, the indicator offers an optional stop loss setting that can automatically exit losing trades, providing an additional layer of risk management for users who choose to utilize this feature.
A dashboard is provided in the top right showing the statistics and performance of the indicator; winning trades; losing trades, gross profit and loss and PNL. This can be useful when analyzing the success of breakout trading on a particular asset or timeframe.
Fibo Levels with Volume Profile and Targets [ChartPrime]The Fib Levels With Volume Profile and Targets (FIVP) is a trading tool designed to provide traders with a unique understanding of price movement and trading volume through the lens of Fibonacci levels. This dynamic indicator merges the concepts of Fibonacci retracement levels with trading volume analytics to offer predictive insights into potential price trajectories.
Features:
1. Fibonacci Levels: The FPI showcases three prominent Fibonacci levels on both sides of the current price, offering an intricate picture of potential support and resistance levels.
2. Support and Resistance Recognition: Harnessing the power of Fibonacci levels, the FPI provides traders with potential areas of support and resistance, aiding in informed decision-making for entries, exits, and stop placements.
3. Customizable Timeframe Settings: In order to cater to different trading strategies and styles, users can manually select their preferred timeframe for the Fibonacci calculations, ensuring optimal relevance and accuracy for their trading approach.
4. Volume Analytics: One of the standout features of the FIVP is its ability to calculate trading volume for every bar that is sandwiched between the top and lower Fibonacci levels. This ensures traders have a clear vision of where the majority of trading activity is occurring, lending weight to the credibility of the displayed support and resistance zones.
5. Volume-Derived Price Targeting: The Possible Target Arrow function is an innovative feature. By analyzing and comparing the trading volume in the bearish and bullish zones, it provides an arrow indicating the potential direction the market might take. If the bull volume surpasses the bear volume, the market is likely skewing bullish and vice versa.
Usage
Ideal for both novice and seasoned traders, the FPI offers a rich tapestry of information. It allows for refined technical analysis, more precise entries and exits, and a holistic view of the interplay between price and trading volume. Whether you're scalping, day trading, or swing trading, the Fibonacci Profile Indicator is designed to enhance your trading strategy, providing a comprehensive perspective of the market's potential movements.
Algo Targets [Premium]The Algo Targets indicator includes a suite of tools that attempt to identify market maker liquidity targets in advance.
These levels can be used by traders to determine:
1. future support/resistance
2. entries/exits
3. directional bias
4. potential reversal levels
5. pullback targets
The script uses a proprietary prediction model based on specific candle sequences, historical moves and volatility projections.
These tools have been live tested across a variety of instruments and timeframes, but should be backtested against your preferred ticker for best performance.
Primary Features:
1. Anchors
Anchors are derived from a simple, but powerful, three-candle breakout pattern. We have found that this pattern, when combined with the relative position to previous Anchor patterns on the chart, gives us clues to predicting future price structure.
Common use case: The simplest way to trade Anchors is to know that price *almost always* makes a return visit. This can be a useful tool for reversal traders. Additionally, Anchors often occur just before strong directional momentum. This can be useful for trend traders looking for entry signals.
Power User feature: Projected Ranges can be enabled in Settings. Each Anchor provides a Retracement leg (measured as the midpoint between the last two Anchors) and an Expansion leg (measured as twice the size of the Retracement leg, projected in the opposite direction). If Projected Ranges are enabled, the directional bias is also highlighted within the range, making it easy to spot at a glance.
Caveats: Expansion legs require patience and solid risk management. Additionally, the Expansion leg contains an additional Trigger level which price MUST cross before we consider the Expansion leg to be "in play" as a valid price target. This Trigger is marked on each Expansion legs as a dotted line.
Please note, Anchors require a 3 candle lookback before they are printed to the chart.
2. Target Zones
Target Zones are an advanced feature, and can be enabled in the Settings panel.
Each Target Zone consists of three levels:
Trigger — This the level closest to the current price. We expect it to act as a support/resistance level until price breaks through.
Target — This is the level farthest from the price. This is how far price is likely to move AFTER crossing the Trigger.
Midpoint — This is the level between the Trigger and Target. If price enters a Target Zone and wicks off of the Midpoint line, it’s usually a reversal signal. In this case we would cut our trade, consider the Target “filled” and potentially enter a reversal trade.
Common use case: When prices crosses a Trigger into a Target Zone, we consider that Target level to be “unlocked.” Our expectation is that price will gravitate toward the Target.
Power User feature: There are many strategies that a trader can build around Target Zones. One of our favorites is to use Targets strictly as reversal entries. On ranging days, price will often wick off of a Target level, before making a quick move in the opposite direction.
Caveats: After a Target is unlocked, it may be reached within the next few bars, or it may be saved by the market algorithms for later. Keep an eye on the Midpoint for potential reversals, and as always, proper risk management is key.
IMPORTANT: The presence of a Target Zone on the chart is neither bullish not bearish by itself. We consider the Target to be in play if, AND ONLY IF, price has crossed the Trigger level.
3. Pullback Levels
Pullback Levels are algorithmically detected return levels. They usually act as a strong draw on price, and often appear just before a pullback in price.
Common use case: The simplest way to use Pullbacks is to look for ones that have not been filled, either from a previous day or in after-hours/pre-market. We use them for confirmation bias along with Anchors and unlocked Targets.
Power User feature: For day trading, we set Alerts on our favorite tickers for any detected Pullbacks on the 5 min chart. This usually gives us plenty of time to review the chart for a possible day trade entry.
Settings:
All features are customizable, including color, line length and visibility. This lets you keep your chart as clean as you like, while only displaying additional data when it is needed.
Alerts:
Alerts can be set for all features, with the ability to set bearish and bullish alerts separately, depending on your trading preference. It is recommended to use "Once Per Bar Close" when you create an alert.
EMAflowPRO -Ranges-DISCLAIMER: Always, please keep in mind that market conditions change, past results cannot guarantee the same results in the future.
EMAflowPRO - Ranges-
EMAflowPRO ranges indicator will detect key movements in the market that fit certain conditions and based on that create key tradable zones by providing dynamic and static range levels.
Before reading further please take a look at the indicator values names on the right in the main chart above - these names are linked to the content below when we talk about range structure. The examples included in charts are linked to the area we're discussing (if something was said - most likely closest chart demonstrates it - Also arrows present entries; can be limit or can be market buy/sell in to the wicks.)
Let's find out what indicator does...
Static range logic:
Indicator uses combination of market timing indicators (counting relationship between candles) , fisher transform, stoch rsi, bollinger bands to detect important market price action that show strenght - based on that it will project a static range where key goal is to predict where market will be extremely oversold, extremely overbought or where market could change bias etc.
The setups it provides are very similar to those that come out of harmonic patterns - but it was developed with unique approach without knowing what harmonic patterns are.. so it's not completly the same.
Range is represented by 3 tradable areas (actual trade ideas on charts - arrow points towards a level - on the right there is a scale with a number- limit order can be placed there )
Top of the range - It serves as a shorting area or if top is converted to support can also signal a potential breakout or start of new trend.
Example of a short the top of the range:
29732 - is area where wicks can be sold in to , or limit sell is placed - with higher leverage sl should be tight, with lower sell orders can be spread out up to the middle with sl just above 30500, targets can be choosen based on the provious range top as % moves point.
Example of longing the levels on the recent rise - price staying above middle of the top of the range keeps bias on the upside and potentially signals a break out or start of new trend
Uppper, Middle, Lower part of the range: Sideway area - middle of the range decides direction , above favors the upper levels , below favors the lower levels.
Very nice example where white line is middle of the range and shows that even in strong trend - range projection is able to accurately predict key pullback areas that provide substantial gain. See image below - again settign limit orders where middle of the range is allows you to get a comfortable entry with very big risk reward ratio.
Bottom of the range - market is extremely oversold
Spx example of our recent range from last year's summer - again chart includes both EMAflow indicator and EMAflow ranges as all indicators are extremely complementary and present two sides of the medal sideway and trend view.
Chart only contains ranges but shows the same pair and time:
If price goes below middle of the bottom of the range it could signal a break down or start of new bearish trend.
Dynamic range logic
Since sometimes static range gets broken out or is not respected and the price action is not yet sufficient to generated a new one we included a dynamic supply demand part where dynamic range is generated working in a similar way but does add clarity when static range fails.
example of this can be seen when ftx caused a btc dump we broke through the bottom of the range but dynamic range later showed us new bottom we could trade.
Confluence between both can also provide even more sure levels to place limit orders or to market buy or sell when wicks in to that area occurs.
Minuses:
Since ranges tend to work best when market is sideway - a second part is recommended with EMAflowPRO where focus on moving averages helps you navigate stronger trends.
Not all tfs are well synced with ranges on various assets so you will need to flip through few ones to find the best timeframes that historically worked the best - if you come across an asset that doens't look good you should just change timeframe to higher until you see something that fits or change asset until you get something that looks clear.
Settings:
EMAflow - Ranges - allows you to preset minimum potential of a trade setup you want to look for - default is 6% that ensures you can get a good setup on lower and higher tfs.
Gann Price LevelsGann Price Level is a powerful indicator based on the methods of the legendary trader William D. Gann. It provides traders with the ability to forecast future targets, both trending and retracement, based on just three anchor points and generates clear entry signals in the form of arrows. This indicator offers broad capabilities that assist traders in making informed decisions and optimizing their trading strategies. Here are a few key features of this indicator:
Calculation of future targets: Gann Price Level allows traders to determine potential price levels that may be reached in the future. It is based on the concept of geometric levels and numerical relationships, making it an effective tool for forecasting future price movements. Its algorithm incorporates geometry, mathematics, and Gann's angular relationships.
Three-point approach: One of the main advantages of Gann Price Level is its ability to work with only three anchor points. Traders need to specify three (ABC) points forming a triangle, and the indicator automatically calculates the target price levels. This simplifies the analysis process and makes it more intuitive.
Entry signals: In addition to forecasting target levels, Gann Price Level provides clear entry signals in the form of arrows. This helps traders identify optimal moments to enter positions, improving the accuracy of their trades.
Timeframes: Gann Price Level can be applied to various time intervals, including both short-term and long-term charts. This allows traders to adapt the indicator to their trading strategies and trade across different markets.
Versatility: Gann Price Level can be used to analyze various financial instruments, including stocks, forex, commodities, cryptocurrencies, and more. This makes it a versatile tool for traders operating in different market segments.
Another key feature of this indicator is the additional level calculation algorithm, which, when working with a trend, forms an optimal gray zone for forming point C, while when calculating retracement levels, it adds an additional magnetic target in the form of a gray zone.
Additionally, traders can combine this indicator with other indicators or chart patterns to obtain more accurate signals and confirmations. Moreover, Gann Price Level works effectively in both upward and downward trends, making it a flexible tool for traders of different trading styles. It can be used to determine potential support and resistance levels, as well as entry and exit points for positions.
Working with this indicator is straightforward. The user needs to select three (ABC) points forming a triangle, and the indicator will automatically calculate the future price targets. An entry arrow will also appear, enabling the user to enter the trade in a timely manner. The stop loss is placed slightly below point C (at the spread distance) for buy trades and above point C (at the spread distance) for sell trades. The first target is represented by a dashed line. Once this target is reached, a portion of the position (usually 50%) is closed, and the stop loss is moved to breakeven. The remaining part of the position is held until subsequent price levels based on personal preferences.
Construction rules:
When calculating targets in an upward trend, point A is below points BC, and point C is always between points AB.
When calculating targets in a downward trend, point A is above points BC, and point C is always between points AB.
When calculating retracement targets in an upward trend, point B is above points AC, point A is always between points BC, and point C is below AB.
When calculating retracement targets in a downward trend, point B is below points AC, point A is always between points BC, and point C is above AB.
This indicator relies entirely on the manual construction of the ABC points by the user.
biased_price_targetLibrary "biased_price_target"
Collection of functions that can be used for the calculation of biased price targets like stop loss and
take profit from a reference price using several methods that are already provided by the "distance_ratio" library plus
the 'HHLL'. Methods supported are percentagewise (PERC), atr-based (ATR), fixed profit (PROF), tick-based (TICKS),
risk reward ratio (RR), and highest high/lowest low (HHLL)
STructure Atr Cloud w/ TargetsThis indicator is part of our educational suite focused on teaching price structure, momentum, and mean reversion trading strategies. This indicator is recommended to be used with our “Price Action Trading Indicator” or PATI.
Components of this indicator:
Intraday and Swing Price Structure
Breaks of Structure Identification
Change of Character Identification
Fib-derived Price Targets
Dynamic ATR-based Trend Cloud
This indicator is intended to be used in conjunction with the education we provide to help our users determine their optimal trade plan to utilize their edge.
Intraday (Short-Term) Structure is displayed in gray as HH, HL, LH, LL by default, and the zig-zags can be turned on/off in the settings.
Swing Structure is displayed in yellow as HH, HL, LH, LL by default, and the zig-zags can be turned on/off in the settings.
EQL/EQH show areas where price made an equal low or high.
Dynamic ATR-based Trend Cloud (orange cloud) helps traders stay in profitable trades longer by giving them a visual aid of the current momentum. We have added a confirmation level that dynamically appears when the price breaks over/under the cloud giving validation to the potential trend shift. Failure to break this level tends to result in a rejection and continuation of the current orange cloud trend as you can see in the image above.
Change of Character (ChoCh) shows internal structural breaks where a minor level or supply/demand zone fail, resulting in a potential shift in a short-term trend. Above you can see two common ChoCh setups (head and shoulders/ inverse head and shoulders) that usually result in significant price reversals.
Above is an example of using this indicator on two timeframes to develop short and longer term targets. Previous targets can be used as areas of interest where we can look for price to bounce/reject. Target levels that develop above/below price make great areas to potentially take off some risk/ put risk on.

Opening Range Breakout (and price targets)This Opening Range Breakout indicator stands apart from others for several reasons. Apart from displaying the opening range high and low on a chart, the script also plots customized potential price targets ( different from any other on TradingView! ) for breakouts and breakdowns in price action. These customized targets can be toggled on and off in the input section of the indicator's settings.
With regard to the indicator itself, it has two other key inputs, the "ORB total time (minutes)" and "ORB Timeframe". The first input sets the maximum number of minutes to be used in the calculation of the opening range, and the second input sets the specific time frame when the opening range is calculated. The script plots the opening range high and low on the chart as two separate lines with the high in blue and the low in white, and these lines dynamically change color of the high to green and the low to red if the current price is above or below the opening range, respectively.
The script starts by calculating whether or not the current bar falls within the specified time frame. It then sets the initial values of the opening range high and low, and continuously updates these values if the current bar's high or low is higher or lower than the previous values, respectively. The updated values are then plotted on the chart with the specified style and color.
Traders may use the ORB Indicator to trade breakouts and breakdowns of the opening range. If the price breaks above the opening range high, traders may look to enter long positions, and if the price breaks below the opening range low, traders may look to enter short positions. The customized price targets may be consulted for potential areas to take profit. The color change of the high and low lines can provide additional confirmation of a potential breakout or breakdown, adding to the strength of the trade setup. It is important to note that the ORB Indicator does not guarantee success, and traders should always consider other technical and fundamental factors before entering a trade.

MATHR3E WAVES automatically draws Elliott Waves on your charts with their potential associated targets.
█ CONCEPTS
Disclaimer
MATHR3E RETRACEMENTS 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:
MATHR3E WAVES indicator can provide a roadmap of market direction that you can use to determine price targets and isolate exhaustion points from potential trends in conjunction with other indicators by the same author.
Be aware the indicator's approach is derived from the Elliott wave theory and may slightly diverge from the cardinal rules of Elliott waves.
Principle of the Elliott Wave Theory
Movement in the direction of the trend is unfolding in 5 waves (called motive wave) while any correction against the trend is in three waves (called corrective wave). The movement in the direction of the trend is labeled as 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. The three-wave correction is labeled as a, b, and c. These patterns can be seen in the long term as well as short term charts.
Wave 1:
Wave one is rarely obvious at its inception. When the first wave of a new bull market begins, the fundamental news is almost universally negative. The previous trend is considered still strongly in force. Fundamental analysts continue to revise their earnings estimates lower; the economy probably does not look strong. Sentiment surveys are decidedly bearish, put options are in vogue, and implied volatility in the options market is high. Volume might increase a bit as prices rise, but not by enough to alert many technical analysts.
Wave 2:
Wave two corrects wave one, but can never extend beyond the starting point of wave one. Typically, the news is still bad. As prices retest the prior low, bearish sentiment quickly builds, and "the crowd" haughtily reminds all that the bear market is still deeply ensconced. Still, some positive signs appear for those who are looking: volume should be lower during wave two than during wave one, prices usually do not retrace more than 61.8% of the wave one gains, and prices should fall in a three-wave pattern.
Wave 3:
Wave three is usually the largest and most powerful wave in a trend. The news is now positive and fundamental analysts start to raise earnings estimates. Prices rise quickly, corrections are short-lived and shallow. Anyone looking to "get in on a pullback" will likely miss the boat. As wave three starts, the news is probably still bearish, and most market players remain negative; but by wave three's midpoint, "the crowd" will often join the new bullish trend. Wave three often extends wave one by a ratio of 1.618:1.
Wave 4:
Wave four is typically clearly corrective. Prices may meander sideways for an extended period, and wave four typically retraces less than 38.2% of wave three. Volume is well below that of wave three. This is a good place to buy a pullback if you understand the potential ahead for wave 5. Still, fourth waves are often frustrating because of their lack of progress in the larger trend.
Wave 5:
Wave five is the final leg in the direction of the dominant trend. The news is almost universally positive and everyone is bullish. Unfortunately, this is when many average investors finally buy-in, right before the top. Volume is often lower in wave five than in wave three, and many momentum indicators start to show divergences (prices reach a new high but the indicators do not reach a new peak).
Wave A:
Corrections are typically harder to identify than impulse moves. In wave A of a bear market, the fundamental news is usually still positive. Most analysts see the drop as a correction in a still-active bull market. Some technical indicators that accompany wave A include increased volume, rising implied volatility in the options markets, and possibly a turn higher in open interest in related futures markets.
Wave B:
Prices reverse higher, which many see as a resumption of the now long-gone bull market. Those familiar with classical technical analysis may see the peak as the right shoulder of a head and shoulders reversal pattern. The volume during wave B should be lower than in wave A. By this point, fundamentals are probably no longer improving, but they most likely have not yet turned negative.
Wave C:
Prices move impulsively lower in five waves. Volume picks up, and by the third leg of wave C, almost everyone realizes that a bear market is firmly entrenched. Wave C is typically at least as large as wave A and often extends to 1.618 times wave A or beyond.

MATHR3E LINES█ OVERVIEW
MATHR3E LINES automatically draws Demand lines and Supply lines with their associated targets
█ CONCEPTS
Disclaimer:
MATHR3E LINES 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:
The indicator draws Demand lines and Supply lines with their associated targets.
These lines connect pivot points which are:
- Lows surrounded on either side by higher lows
- Highs surrounded on either side by lower highs.
The key to drawing trend lines objectively is to select the right pivot points. Their significance is determined by the number of surrounding highs and lows.
By default, these are set to 1 since they are more sensitive to price action than higher level pivot points, and therefore provide an earlier breakout signal.
Another approach suggests that the most significant points to connect are those whose levels coincide with trend reversals.
Once you have chosen a demand line, there are 3 conditions that must be met for the trend line to be used.
As far as one or more of the conditions is met, a break of the intrabar trendline is expected, and a closing violation above the breakout level is likely.
Qualifiers
• Qualifier #1: Reverse Break
• Qualifier #2: Gap Break
• Qualifier #3: Pressure Break
In turn, a confirmed breakout entry may be invalidated the following bar, if any of the disqualifying conditions occur:
Disqualifiers
• Open Failure
• Close Failure
• H/L Failure
█ FEATURES & BENEFITS
Versatile:
This indicator can be applied to any market or time frame.
The methodology is equally relevant whether you are day trading or position trading.
Breakout confirmation:
• If a breakout is confirmed, its associated lines will turn solid.
• Otherwise, for invalidated breakouts or broken trendlines , they will remain dashed
