K's Reversal Indicator IK's reversal indicator I is a special combination between Bollinger bands and the MACD oscillator. It is a contrarian indicator that depends on the following conditions:
• A buy signal is generated whenever the current market price is below the 100-period lower Bollinger band while simultaneously, the MACD value must be above its signal line. At the same time, the previous MACD value must be below its previous signal line.
• A sell (short) signal is generated whenever the current market price is above the 100-period upper Bollinger band while simultaneously, the MACD value must be below its signal line. At the same time, the previous MACD value must be above its previous signal line.
The way to use K's reversal indicator is to combine it with your already long/short bias in a sideways/range market in order to maximize the probability of success.
Limitations of the indicator include the following:
• There are no clear exit rules that work well on average across the markets. Even though K’s reversal indicator gives contrarian signals, it does not show when to exit the positions.
• As with other indicators, it underperforms on some markets and is not to be used everywhere.
• False signals tend to occur during trending markets but there is no proven way to detect a false signal.

Pro Ecometrics [by @Amu_Arsalan] ✔ Intro
As a day trader, this is one of my main strategies to trade with, I have been developing this strategy last 6 months. this strategy helps me make great trades more confident. I wish this could help you make great trades as well
✔ OVERVIEW
This is a combination of linear regression for trend analysis and auto plot channel and divergences for 9 oscillators and indicators in 5 different candle range lookback.
✔ CONCEPTS
As a trader, you probably know how to trade with channels and trend lines, but we need more confirmation before we dive into a trade, Divergences are one of the most accurate and reliable confirmations for this purpose. So I combine these as a strategy. when I see a confluence in divergence signal and trend line (regression), it has a great chance to see a reversal.
✔ Divergences
Show both Bearish and Bullish Divergences fully detailed for normal and hidden divergences it plots a label with indicator names and its values that make this divergence occur. it could calculate divergences for 9 oscillators and indicators for 5 lookback periods.
✔ Trend Line
It has editable settings such as lookback period, source, and even color changing. by default, it makes a linear regression for the past 100 candles.
Trending Bollinger Bands by SiddWolfBollinger Bands are mostly used for trend reversal. I believe they should be used for Trend Continuation and Trend Confirmation.
In this Trending Bollinger Bands script you will see two bands drawn on chart. The Upper band is suggestive of Uptrend and Lower Band is suggestive of Downtrend Market. It just provides the guidance of where the market is now and where it is headed. It is not to be used as a standalone indicator. Use this to confirm your hypothesis of Uptrend or Downtrend.
Bollinger Bands Trend
When the price crosses the moving average it is interpreted as the price is gonna continue in that direction. But most of the time it is a fake breakout. With this script you get an additional confirmation so that you know it is not a fake breakout and the price have caught the trend.
Bollinger Bands Reversal:
This indicator can also work for reversal. For example when price closes outside the outer bands, it is most likely that the trend is gonna reverse. Don't just enter the trade wait for some other confirmation as reversal trading is more complicated.
Confluence:
Confluence is the key factor for profitable trading. Don't use this indicator as standalone indicator instead combine it with other indicators and price action. Like the divergence occurring when the price is outside the bands is suggestive of trend reversal. I have created a non-delay, non-repaint indicator for finding divergence. I'd soon publish that script. Stay tuned.
Settings is the Key:
Try to play around with the settings. It is a simple yet effective indicator. Change the moving average type or length. I've found moving average RMA or WMA works better than SMA. Find the best setting that works with your setup. Set the Band Source as High/Low to make the outer bands more extreme.
Conclusion:
This is my first script but it isn't my last. I've created quite a few gems that I'm gonna publish soon. If you have any questions or suggestions feel free to comment below. I'd love to connect with you. Thank you.
Trend Day IndentificationVolatility is cyclical, after a large move up or down the market typically "ranges" during the next session. Directional order flow that enters the market during this subsequent session tends not to persist, this non-persistency of transactions leads to a non-trend day which is when I trade intraday reversionary strategies.
This script finds trend days in BTC with the purpose of:
1) counting trend day frequency
2) predicting range contraction for the next 1-2 days so I can run intraday reversion strategies
Trend down is defined as daily bar opening within X% of high and closing within X% of low
Trend up is defined as daily bar opening within X% of low and closing within X% of high
default parameters are:
1) open range extreme = 15% (open is within 15% of high or low)
2) close range extreme = 15% (close is within 15% of high or low)
There is also an atr filter that checks that the trend day has a larger range than the previous 4 bars this is to make sure we find true range expansion vs recent ranges.
Notes:
If a trend day occurs after a prolonged sideways contraction it can signal a breakout - this is less common but is an exception to the rule. These types of occurrences can lead to the persistency of order flow and result in extended directional daily runs.
If a trend day occurs close to 20 days high or low (stopping just short OR pushing slightly through) then wait an additional day before trading intraday reversion strategies.

I will get finalized documentation ASAP, until then, have fun backtesting and creating your own strategies / ideas while using this indicator!
Distance from Vwap// How it Works \\
Measuring the distance of the close price from a higher timeframe VWAP - Volume Weighted Average Price
There is a threshold which is calculated by looking back at the previous x amount of bars and storing the highest/lowest values
If the distance from the vwap stretches above that threshold, the histogram will go green if price is above VWAP and red if its below the vwap
If the distance from the vwap reaches below the low threshold you will see the histogram flashes orange
// Settings \\
In the settings you have the ability to change what timeframe the indicator is calculated on, as well as this you can change the timeframe the VWAP is calculated on.
I always recommend using a higher timeframe vwap as they tend to me more respected
e.g on the hourly timeframe, I use the weekly VWAP, on 1 minute timeframe you may want to use 4 hour timeframe but obviously feel free to experiment
// Use Case \\
When histogram is flashing green, prices is pulling far away from the vwap, obviously you don't want to be buying a falling knife but if you have levels of confluence this can help spot reversals.
I personally wait until the first candle after its been green to get confirmation of the fall weakening. Vica versa for reds and shorts/sells.
When you see orange flashes, this shows that price has been consolidating and the price is very close to the higher time frame VWAP which could be considered a safe entry point as they tend to lead to a big move to follow
// Suggestions \\
Happy for anyone to make any suggestions on changes which could improve the script,
// Terms \\
Feel free to use the script, If you do use the script could you please just tag me as I am interested to see how people are using it. Good Luck!
HODL LINE [AstrideUnicorn]This indicator determines periods of bull market when a buy-and-hold investor can hold the asset, and bear market periods when they should avoid holding it. Though it was designed primarily with cryptocurrencies in mind, it can be successfully used for any market.
Technically, the indicator is an asymmetric trend filter aimed to account for the fact that market sell-offs tend to be sharper than up-trends. The algorithm has two regimes – with and without price smoothing.
HOW TO USE
The step-like line is the main trend filter. It is colored green in an uptrend and red in a downtrend. When the smoothing is on, in addition to the trend filter, the indicator plots a purple line. It is a Hull Moving Average (HMA) of the price. In this case, the indicator uses this line instead of the price to find crossings with the trend filter.
When the price or the smoothed line crosses the trend filter above, it is an uptrend signal. The indicator marks such crossings with green circles. It also colors the chart background green in an uptrend. The price or the purple line crossing the trend filter below means a downtrend signal. Downtrend signals show as red circles. The chart background in a downtrend turns red.
SETTINGS
Sensitivity – a dropdown list that allows the user to choose an averaging period of the indicator. Users can select a value for sensitivity from a predetermined set that better suits their investment horizon.
Use Smoothing – turns on and off smoothing of the price with HMA. With the smoothing turned on, the indicator responds slower to price changes, but at the same time produces less amount of false signals.
AlphaTrendAlphaTrend is a brand new indicator which I've personally derived from Trend Magic and still developing:
In Magic Trend we had some problems, Alpha Trend tries to solve those problems such as:
1-To minimize stop losses and overcome sideways market conditions.
2-To have more accurate BUY/SELL signals during trending market conditions.
3- To have significant support and resistance levels.
4- To bring together indicators from different categories that are compatible with each other and make a meaningful combination regarding momentum, trend, volatility, volume and trailing stop loss.
according to those purposes Alpha Trend:
1- Acts like a dead indicator like its ancestor Magic Trendin sideways market conditions and doesn't give many false signals.
2- With another line with 2 bars offsetted off the original one Alpha Trend have BUY and SELL signals from their crossovers.
BUY / LONG when Alpha Trend line crosses above its 2 bars offsetted line and there would be a green filling between them
SELL / SHORT when Alpha Trend line crosses below its 2 bars offsetted line and filling would be red then.
3- Alpha Trend lines
-act as support levels when an uptrend occurs trailing 1*ATR (default coefficient) distance from bar's low values
-conversely act as resistancelevels when a downtrend occurs trailing 1*ATR (default coefficient) distance from bar's high values
and acting as trailing stop losses
the more Alpha Trend lines straighter the more supports and resistances become stronger.
4- Trend Magic has CCI in calculation
Alpha Trend has MFI as momentum, but when there's no volume data MFI has 0 values, so there's abutton to change calculation considering RSI after checking the relevant box to overcome this problem when there is no volume data in that chart.
Momentum: RSI and MFI
Trend: Magic Trend
Volatility: ATR,
Trailing STOP: ATR TRAILING STOP
Volume: MFI
Alpha trend is really a combination of different types...
default values:
coefficient: 1 which is the factor of trailing ATR value
common period: 14 which is the length of ATR MFI and RSI
Wish you all use AlphaTrend in profitable trades.

Anchored TWAP with StDev Bands [MrShadow]TWAP with:
- Anchoring: Custom, Day, Week, Month, Quarter, Year (custom anchoring can be selected by dragging a vertical line through the chart)
- Standard Devation Bands
- Auto-coloring depending on the trend
Pivot Trend LevelsYou can use this indicator to detect the levels and trend.
I used the highest of the two last highest pivots and the lowest of the two last lowest pivots to calculate "max" and "min" or high level or low level.
I also calculate the average of the 4 values to reach the average line which could be a trend detector in higher lengths.
Default length is 3 but using 10 or 20 as length is really good as trending detector.
I need help to upgrade a trend detector system. please read the script for more information.
Thank you so much.
[UPRIGHT Trading] Trend Direction Force Index (TDFI)The Trend Direction Force Index, TDFI or TDF Index, is a staple in the Forex community, but is excellent on most asset (i.e. stock) trading.
Developed by Pyotr Wojdyo for metastock trading platform originally, but now on several other.
The idea of the TDFI is that there is enough trend directional force to enter the trade.
How it works:
When the signal is above the high threshold, the trader can go long.
When the signal is below the low threshold, the trader can go short.
It's usually used as confirmation along with another indicator.
Features:
Fully customizable
Built-in color changing

Trend Trading with Currency Strength MeterThis is a trend trading strategy designed mainly for forex made of two big components:
First we have the currency meter, which is made of taking TSI of different INDEXes such as EUR, USD, GBP, JPY, NZD, AUD , CHF and CAD.
Once we establish which one is the weakest and most powerful, we pair them together and we go on that chart.
Lastly we check with the EMA 200 to confirm our direction.
We can see in this example for the USDJPY chart, that USD is the strongest, JPY is the weakest and ema confirm our bullish trend.
For timeframe in general I recommend big timeframes, 1-4h+ , and as a mentality a swing trading mentality, we can stay in trade for days/weeks.
For exit in general I recommend to exit when either one of the pairs losses/gain power or when the EMA is crossing with current candle
If you have any questions, let me know !

Signals Pirate™ Market ScreenerSignalsPirate™ Market Screener provides users with the ability to quickly and easily check the current trend of up to 40 different assets on any timeframe! With a simple ‘Bullish’ or ‘Bearish’ trend easily defined using accurate and reliable calculations, this tool could massively cut down the amount of time your TA takes!
The main Input options are 'Reactivity' and 'Depth', which allow for a dynamic trend following strategy that works on all time frames and assets. Using these values the strategy will print the bundles main ‘Buy’ and ‘Sell’ signals to try and identify the trend early and accurately. Their main functions are to dynamically calculate volatility and current trend direction – but we’ve gone more in-depth below!
Reactivity:
Reactivity controls how quickly the Algo reacts to changes in trend. This part of the bundle takes into account the Average True Range (ATR) to gauge current market volatility and direction of the trend. Lowering the reactivity value will generate quicker reaction times of the algorithm as it will lower the threshold of volatility required for a signal to be generated. Therefore, it’ll show trades more frequently.
Depth:
Depth controls the position of the signals according to the trend swing. Calculated using a variation of the Average Direction Index (ADX) to measure the changes in prices over a given period, when running parallel to the Reactivity volatility filter the trend can be identified quickly and accurately on any given time frame or asset. Higher Depth will allow for less frequent and slower entries. In contrast, lower Depth will give more frequent and earlier entries.
The default settings are the best settings we’ve found so far but you can change them to build your own unique trading strategy. We’d recommend experimenting with these values to find the best results for the asset you are trading, and your own personal trading and investing style.
Direction for use:
1. Use on any asset class and time frame and add the tickers of any asset you want included in the screener.
2. Fine tune the Reactivity (volatility) and Depth (trend sensitivity).
3. Consider longing assets that appear in the ‘Bullish List’ after candle close, and consider shorting assets that appear in the ‘Bearish List’ after candle close.
4. Exit positions once an asset has switched from one list to the other.
As mentioned previously, this Market Sceener uses a trend base system that dynamically operates to function with superior accuracy regardless of what you’re trading. But with the level of customisation available, this can easily be fine tuned to accommodate scalping, reversal trading, or even long term investing.
We hope you love this Screener, and it takes your trading and investing to the next level. Please let us know if you have any questions or queries regarding the logic behind the bundle, or if you have any suggestions for improvements etc. We love your feedback and are constantly striving to continuously improve!
Birdie AbelForxThis script indicates a breakout of the "diagonale Line" to show potential Day trading or Swing entries.
Timeframe : H1 or M30
Pairs : Forex, Index, Crypto
Insight :
The purpose of this indicator is to determine areas of reversal or beginning of trend.
Every day at 11:00 p.m. (Paris Time), the daily horizontal level is determined by a vertical line.
The trader will then have to draw the diagonal from the horizontal level of the day before to the level of the new horizontal level by anticipating it until 11:00 p.m. (Paris time)
Thus we will have a diagonal for the day which will serve as an entry trigger if the price crosses and closes beyond this diagonal. During the day the horizontal level will progress at the same time as the weather until 11:00 p.m. (Paris Time)
If you configure a trade entry, the SL level is determined by the horizontal level of the same day.
For swing trading, the SL can follow the price by placing itself each day (above for a sell / below for a buy) of the daily level so as to act as a daily trailing stop.
As long as the price is above the diagonal and the daily level, we remain in an uptrend.
As long as the price is below the diagonal and the daily level, we remain in a downtrend.
TRADING MADE SIMPLEThis indicator shows market structure. The standard method of using Williams Highs and Lows as pivots, is something of an approximation.
What's original here is that we follow rules to confirm Local Highs and Local Lows, and strictly enforce that a Low can only follow a confirmed High and vice-versa.
-- Highs and Lows
To confirm a candle as a Local High, you need a later candle to Close below its Low. To confirm a Local Low, you need a Close above its High.
A Low can only follow a High (after it's been confirmed). You can't go e.g High, High, Low, Low, only High, Low, High, Low.
When price makes Higher Highs and Higher Lows, market structure is said to be bullish. When price makes Lower Lows and Lower Highs, it's bearish.
I've defined the in-between Highs and Lows as "Ranging", meaning, neutral. They could be trend continuation or reversal.
-- Bullish/Bearish Breaks
A Bullish break in market structure is when the Close of the current candle goes higher than the previous confirmed Local High.
A Bearish Break is when the Close of the current candle goes lower than the most recent confirmed Local Low.
I chose to use Close rather than High to reduce edge case weirdness. The breaking candle often ends up being a big one, thus the close of that candle can be a poor entry.
You can get live warnings by setting the alert to Options: Only Once, because during a candle, the current price is taken as the Close.
Breaks are like early warnings of a change in market bias, because you're not waiting for a High or Low to be formed and confirmed.
Buy The Dip / Sell The Rally
Buy The Dip is a label I gave to the first Higher Low in a bullish market structure. Sell The Rally is the first Lower High in a bearish market structure.
These *might* be good buying/selling opportunities, but you still need to do your own analysis to confirm that.
== USAGE ==
The point of knowing market structure is so you don't make bullish bets in a bearish market and vice versa -
or if you do at least you're aware that that's what you're doing, and hopefully have some overwhelmingly good reason to do so.
These are not signals to be traded on their own. You still need a trade thesis. Use with support & resistance and your other favourite indicators.
Works on any market on any timeframe. Be aware that market structure will be different on different timeframes.
IMPORTANT: If you're not seeing what you expect, check your settings and re-read this entire description carefully. Confirming Highs and Lows can get deceptively complex.
MTF MACD (PPO) [TANHEF]Mult-Timeframe Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) and Percentage Price Oscillator (PPO) indicator that allows for viewing of 1 to 5 different Timeframes.
Brief Summary
The primary benefit of multi-timeframe indicators is getting better entries and confirmation from viewing multiple time frames at once, which can often get overlooked.
MACD shouldn't be only used by itself, it is a lot more consistent when applied in the same direction as the trend as well as multiple other things including support, resistance, and volume improve the outcomes of the MACD results.
Personally, I look for good entries on higher and lower time frames (multiple timeframes must agree with the buying or selling). For example, if a higher timeframe looks like a good long entry (MACD line is crossing up and below the zero line), then the lower timeframes should be checked to ensure they are not oversold or overextended (the MACD line must be low or below the zero), once the lower and higher timeframes are in agreeance an entry can be made.
What is Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD)?
Moving average convergence divergence (MACD) is a trend-following momentum indicator that shows the relationship between two moving averages of the price. The MACD is calculated by subtracting the 26-period exponential moving average (EMA) from the 12-period EMA.
What is the Percentage Price Oscillator (PPO)?
The PPO is identical to the MACD indicator, except the PPO measures percentage difference between two EMAs, while the MACD measures absolute (or dollar) difference. The PPO has the advantage of being comparable to other assets with different prices, whereas MACD readings are not comparable. For example, regardless of the asset's price, a PPO result of 10 means the short-term average is 10% above the long-term average.
A signal line can be displayed on Timeframe, including:
- MACD & Signal Line crosses (Green when MACD above Signal Line and Red when MACD below Signal Line)
- Histogram Direction (fast and slow EMA gap)
- SuperTrend for identifying trend direction (green for uptrend, red for downtrend)
- EMA Trend for identifying trend direction (above EMA = up trend and green, below EMA = down trend and red)
Cross Dots and Potential cross dots
- Green Dot, is displayed when the MACD crosses the Signal Line
- Red Dot, is displayed when the MACD crosses the Signal Line
- Yellow Dot. Potential cross up (green dot) on next bar. Displayed when if the same distance a MACD moves on a bar is applied to the next bar will cause a MACD and Signal Line Cross. This is calculated by checking if the value change of one bar is added to the current MACD value would lead to a cross on the next bar, the it is a potential up dot.
- Purple Dot. Potential cross down (red dot) on next bar. Displayed when if the same distance a MACD moves on a bar is applied to the next bar will cause a MACD and Signal Line Cross. This is calculated by checking if the value change of one bar is added to the current MACD value would lead to a cross on the next bar, the it is a potential down dot.
Best Fit Settings
- Can be applied to the MACD, Signal Line, and Histogram to re-scale (stretch) to fit them within the space of the +2 and -2 range that each timeframe is provided on this indicator.
- The lookback distance value is used to lookback a certain distance to ensure everything scaled to fit well.
Labels are displayed on the right of the indicators, including:
- a label identifying 'line indicator' is currently being displayed
- the Timeframe corresponding to each MACD or PPO indicator
- the MACD or PPO of each Timeframe
[UPRIGHT Trading] Awesome STC+Hello Traders,
I hope you all are doing well.
Today I'm releasing another one of my favorites: the Schaff Trend Cycle (STC). In 2008, Doug Schaff publically released the STC as an improvement on cycle oscillators and the MACD, hence its common nickname, "The better MACD."
This oscillator is essentially a fusion of the benefits of trend and cycle indicators; the idea is to minimize their drawbacks, such as lags or false signals. The STC is mainly used to determine or confirm price direction and market reversals.
We calculate the STC as a double smoothed stochastic of the MACD, which outputs an oscillator that moves between 0 and 100.
How is it typically used?
In trending markets, we can expect the oscillator to move up if the market is in the accelerating uptrend and an accelerating downtrend are to push the oscillator down.
In sideways markets, the STC shows oversold when it reverses after falling below 25; overbought when the STC turns down from above 75.
How the Awesome STC+ is different:
This STC uses several complex equations and filters to improve accuracy and reduce lag.
My original STC wave.
Multiple extremely accurate Buy/Sell signals not found on a traditional STC indicator.
Ability to use 4 different background highlights and several buy/sell and confirmation signals.
Fully customizable (as always), ability to turn on or off any signals, change any of the colors to suit your needs.
Pre-filled Alerts.
Reversals and Continuations.
Chart should look like this:

[Excalibur] Pivoted Automatic Breakout Trend LinesPREAMBLE:
As I will elaborate further, lines and linearity are everywhere in the our thoughts, words, objects, and nature. For example, in our youth, drawing lines on paper, ascribing them in the dirt, and using them to perfect hand writing is common occurrences in life everyone has experienced. Our minds are uniquely adaptable to envision linearities in many natural or abstract objects, including facial geometry. That's how we easily recognize each other in person. For decades, along our path on roadways to and from our destinations, road lines have long safely guided us. Common phrases are "get in line", "walk the line", "line of duty", and "finish line" in English. Gazing upon the earth's line of horizon on calm wide open ocean standing upon the shoreline, it is easily visible and it has curvature. Sorry to break it to you flat earthers.
Multitudes of agreed upon lines define nationally recognized boundaries on maps for very specific reasons. Some lines are just simply not meant to be crossed and are purposefully intended to be respected. Even at the time of this original release, lines are being "crossed" on unimaginable and tragic scales, forming a trend of devastation of lives and livelihoods. On occasion in human history, border lines have to be redefined, especially when a godvernment no longer represents the WILL of a vast geographic majority of it's citizens. When puppet representatives and misleaders only have a self serving interest to put their citizens most treasured values, grievances, and souls in the grave, succession is a matter of last resort and it's often statistically speaking 101% necessary.
As an American, from my opinionated perspective assessing the situation, I welcome the ancestral people of Donetsk and Luhansk to the world stage, being independent to choose their own destinies and fates, because all that Ukraine wishes to do with them year, after year, after year is render them as subjugates or use them for target practice. And that isn't right! The way 2021+ is heading, by the year 2100 I suspect every continental map is going to have new lines on them.
LINES OF ANTIQUITY:
Many recorded instances throughout history detailing the use of lines, has endured centuries of time. The ancient origins and study of "Euclidean geometry" would have been performed scribbling in the ground, preferably in sand. The Greek mathematician Euclid of Alexandria, the founder of geometry, most probably spent a great deal of his life doing this in order to pass his bold ideas onto future generations.
Before Euclid's time, Spartans in the battle of Thermopylae drew their lines in the sand with their swords adhering to the infamous words "Molon Labe" (come and take ). These disciples of agoge, born and destined for rigorous entrainment were bound by duty, no retreat, no surrender. Hundreds of Spartan sigma males held the line for as long as they could for the security of their free peoples. In almost every case of Spartan history the imperative notion of holding the battle lines was absolutely necessary at all costs, regardless of the carnage delivered from their enemy adversaries, including the unrelenting hordes of invasion commanded by the tyrant Xerxes. ALL gave some on those days.
Over two millennia later, Colonel William Travis at the Alamo carved a line in the ground for able men to decide which side of history they would reside on. History has an awfully bad habit of repeating itself, as it is always told in forewarnment. Lines have always been pertinent, decisive, and always shall be. A world without lines, would make our grasp of understanding and existence nearly impossible to carry on civilization.
LINES IN MODERN TIMES:
The versatility of lines are every where imaginable in this 21st century. A short list of their applications are in art, design, engineering, architecture, demarcation, and they are always, always ever pervasive in computer graphics. Without a doubt, lines are now pinnacle to having the ability to make our charting possible in order to recognize trends. Here in this script's application I intended them to automatically reveal geometry, trends, and breakout zones.
When I originally encountered my discovery of TradingView's existence, the very first thing I was doing, was to naturally draw lines across the price action pivot points in search of identifiable opportunities. Three years later, I have now finalized my vision of automatically drawing an ample amount of them by harnessing the "Power of Pine" in version 5. As you will soon see, utilization of this script will reveal hidden geometry that is otherwise typically unforeseen.
SCRIPT FUNCTIONALITY:
Programmatically drawing lines on top of numeric chaos has been an arduous task, taking me over a year to stabilize this code to my liking. The possibilities of automatically drawing lines on market price action could in theory actually result into hundreds per chart pane. This script does have a limitation of 60 line segments/rays maximum. I have gone to great lengths to accomplish this feat, just to arrive at 60 per overlay indicator. Beyond that, I am experiencing limitations of Pine. Because of the amount of work required to finalize this indicator, this is one of my "Excalibur" indicators. I literally had to pull this code from the deepest recesses of my mind. I would classify this kind of indicator as a weapon of mass financial creation, so I'm offering it's availability to all members.
Segments/rays may be computationally drawn as far back as 5000 bars into the chart's history, but no more than that are to be expected. Only one line will occur from pivot point to pivot point. All duplicate line occurrences computed are not redrawn over another, as I ensured by filtration this would not happen. Numerous adjustments are present to handle a majority of expectations and the numerous visual acuities of members. I envision many thousands of members utilizing this script's versatility as a visual aid to help guide them along their path of trading assessments and decisiveness.
SCRIPT UTILITY:
Having the ability to recognize geometry in price movements is ultra handy in relation to directional trending and channeling arrangements especially. Trends are guaranteed at some unknown point in time to breakout, and form new trends or cycles. I employed a fire and ice color duo to differentiate between the upper trend lines from the lower trend lines. It seemed to be most visible without interfering too often with other indicators. These can be changed to any color combo you desire in Settings. Additional line preferences are provided to support your tailored experience while having other indicators present in the overlay pane. It may even be configured to only display two lines at a minimum. By doing so, you can really focus and fine tune Settings for just these two segments/rays with very specific refined tweaks.
One caveat of detecting pivots, is that they aren't recognized until after they have formed. Always remember that pivot points aren't instantaneously discoverable until their full form is computationally apparent in the form of a chevron. Technically describing the pivot detection is beyond normal comprehension and to difficult to explain in this description. I will also say, viewing this on a 4K display resolution reveals the best view. If you wish to use more than one instance of this indicator in the overlay for more than 60 lines at a time, go right ahead. However it may become messy.
P.S. This script and it's description was partially inspired by Twisted Sister's song "We're Not Gonna Take It"

VWAP Implied Volatility BandsThis script takes the built in VWAP function and creates bands using various Volatility Indexes from the CBOE. The script plots the bands at desired multiples, as well as the closing value of the prior day's first set of bands. Users can choose from the following:
VIX(ES), VXN(NQ), RVX(RTY), OVX(CL), GVX(GC), SIV(ZS), CIV(ZC), TYVIX(ZN), EUVIX(EURUSD), BPVIX(GBPUSD)
Upon selecting the desired volatility index, users must change the multiplier to fit the underlying product since the indexes are all calculated differently.
The goal with this script was to use market generated information (IV) to highlight potential trade locations.
