All SMAs Bullish/Bearish Screener (Enhanced)All SMAs Bullish/Bearish Screener Enhanced: Uncover High-Conviction Trend Alignments with Confidence
Description:
Are you ready to elevate your trading from mere guesswork to precise, data-driven decisions? The "All SMAs Bullish/Bearish Screener Enhanced" is not just another indicator; it's a sophisticated, yet user-friendly, trend-following powerhouse designed to cut through market noise and pinpoint high-probability trading opportunities. Built on the foundational strength of comprehensive Moving Average confluence and fortified with critical confirmation signals from Momentum, Volume, and Relative Strength, this script empowers you to identify truly robust trends and manage your trades with unparalleled clarity.
The Power of Multi-Factor Confluence: Beyond Simple Averages
In the unpredictable world of financial markets, true strength or weakness is rarely an isolated event. It's the harmonious alignment of multiple technical factors that signals a high-conviction move. While our original "All SMAs Bullish/Bearish Screener" intelligently identified stocks where price was consistently above or below a full spectrum of Simple Moving Averages (5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200), this Enhanced version takes it a crucial step further.
We've integrated a powerful three-pronged confirmation system to filter out weaker signals and highlight only the most compelling setups:
Momentum (Rate of Change - ROC): A strong trend isn't just about price direction; it's about the speed and intensity of that movement. Positive momentum confirms that buyers are still aggressively pushing price higher (for bullish signals), while negative momentum validates selling pressure (for bearish signals).
Volume: No trend is truly trustworthy without the backing of smart money. Above-average volume accompanying an "All SMAs" alignment signifies strong institutional participation and conviction behind the move. It separates genuine trend starts from speculative whims.
Relative Strength Index (RSI): This versatile oscillator ensures the trend isn't just "there," but that it's developing healthily. We use RSI to confirm a bullish bias (above 50) or a bearish bias (below 50), adding another layer of confidence to the direction.
When the price aligns above ALL six critical SMAs, and is simultaneously confirmed by robust positive momentum, healthy volume, and a bullish RSI bias, you have an exceptionally strong "STRONGLY BULLISH" signal. This confluence often precedes sustained upward moves, signaling prime accumulation phases. Conversely, a "STRONGLY BEARISH" signal, where price is below ALL SMAs with negative momentum, confirming volume, and a bearish RSI bias, indicates powerful distribution and potential for significant downside.
How to Use This Enhanced Screener:
Add to Chart: Go to TradingView's Pine Editor, paste the script, and click "Add to Chart."
Customize Parameters: Fine-tune the lengths of your SMAs, RSI, Momentum, and Volume averages via the indicator's settings. Experiment to find what best suits your trading style and the assets you trade.
Choose Your Timeframe Wisely:
Daily (1D) and 4-Hour (240 min) are highly recommended. These timeframes cut through intraday noise and provide more reliable, actionable signals for swing and position trading.
Shorter timeframes (e.g., 15min, 60min) can be used by advanced day traders for very short-term entries, but be aware of increased volatility and noise.
Visual Confirmation:
Green/Red Triangles: Appear on your chart, indicating confirmed bullish or bearish signals.
Background Color: The chart background will subtly turn lime green for "STRONGLY BULLISH" and red for "STRONGLY BEARISH" conditions.
On-Chart Status Table: A clear table displays the current signal status ("STRONGLY BULLISH/BEARISH," or "SMAs Mixed") for immediate feedback.
Set Up Alerts (Your Primary Screener Tool): This is the game-changer! Create custom alerts on TradingView based on the "Confirmed Bullish Trade" and "Confirmed Bearish Trade" conditions. Receive instant notifications (email, pop-up, mobile) for any stock in your watchlist that meets these stringent criteria. This allows you to scan the entire market effortlessly and act decisively.
Strategic Stop-Loss Placement: The Trader's Lifeline
Even the most robust signals can fail. Protecting your capital is paramount. For this trend-following strategy, your stop-loss should be placed where the underlying trend structure is broken.
For a "STRONGLY BULLISH" Trade: Place your stop-loss just below the most recent significant swing low (higher low). This is the last point where buyers stepped in to support the price. If price breaks below this, your bullish thesis is invalidated.
For a "STRONGLY BEARISH" Trade: Place your stop-loss just above the most recent significant swing high (lower high). If price breaks above this, your bearish thesis is invalidated.
Alternatively, consider placing your stop-loss just below the 20-period SMA (for bullish trades) or above the 20-period SMA (for bearish trades). A significant close beyond this intermediate-term average often indicates a critical shift in momentum. Always ensure your chosen stop-loss adheres to your pre-defined risk per trade (e.g., 1-2% of capital).
Disciplined Profit Booking: Maximizing Gains
Just as important as knowing when you're wrong is knowing when to take profits.
Trailing Stop-Loss: As your trade moves into profit, trail your stop-loss upwards (for longs) or downwards (for shorts). You can trail it using:
Previous Swing Lows/Highs: Move your stop to just below each new higher low (for longs) or just above each new lower high (for shorts).
A Moving Average (e.g., 10-period or 20-period SMA): If price closes below your chosen trailing SMA, exit. This allows you to ride the trend while protecting accumulated profits.
Target Levels: Identify potential resistance levels (for longs) or support levels (for shorts) using pivot points, previous highs/lows, or Fibonacci extensions. Consider taking partial profits at these levels and letting the rest run with a trailing stop.
Loss of Confluence: If the "STRONGLY BULLISH/BEARISH" condition ceases to be met (e.g., RSI crosses below 50, or volume drops significantly), this can be a signal to reduce or exit your position, even if your stop-loss hasn't been hit.
The "All SMAs Bullish/Bearish Screener Enhanced" is your comprehensive partner in navigating the markets. By combining robust trend identification with critical confirmation signals and disciplined risk management, you're equipped to make smarter, more confident trading decisions. Add it to your favorites and unlock a new level of precision in your trading journey!

Analisis Trend
Omega Market Mood Meter [OmegaTools]The Omega Market Mood Meter is a precision-built sentiment oscillator that captures the market’s emotional intensity through a multi-layered RSI system. Designed for traders who seek to align with the market's true behavioral state, it blends momentum readings with a brand-new, rarely-seen innovation: the Sentiment-Weighted Moving Average (WMA-Ω)—a trend filter that dynamically adjusts to the market’s psychological tone.
🧠 Market Mood Oscillator
At its core, the Ω 3M oscillator aggregates three RSI-based components:
RSI(9) on close — captures short-term tension;
RSI(21) on HLC3 — balances medium-term positioning;
RSI(50) on HL2 — reflects long-term directional weight.
Each input is scaled and weighted to contribute to a final oscillator centered around zero, with ±50 and ±100 acting as key sentiment boundaries. When values exceed ±100, the market is likely reaching emotional extremes—zones that often precede reversals or require caution.
Visual features include:
Dynamic Background Highlighting: automatically emphasizes extreme sentiment zones.
Reference Lines: plotted at ±100, ±50, and 0 for fast sentiment interpretation.
🔥 WMA-Ω: Sentiment-Weighted Moving Average
The standout innovation of this tool is the Weighted Market Mood Moving Average, or WMA-Ω—a proprietary calculation that averages price using the absolute value of sentiment as its weighting force. This approach gives greater importance to price during periods of strong emotional conviction (either bullish or bearish), resulting in a context-aware trend filter that reacts only when sentiment truly matters.
This technique:
Filters noise during low-volatility or indecisive conditions;
Enhances reliability by reacting to meaningful sentiment surges;
Offers a more psychologically-adjusted trend baseline compared to traditional MAs.
Visually:
When price is above WMA-Ω, a semi-transparent bullish fill highlights underlying strength;
When below, a bearish fill reveals dominant downward sentiment.
This feature is unique among public TradingView tools and provides an edge in identifying trend quality with psychological context.
✅ How to Use
Extreme Sentiment Zones (±100): Use as contrarian warning zones or signal dampeners.
Crosses of WMA-Ω: Treat these as psychological trend confirmations; price above indicates structurally bullish sentiment and vice versa.
Range-bound Bias: Between ±50, sentiment may be indecisive; watch for breakout or alignment with WMA-Ω.
Advanced Confluence: Combine with other Omega tools (e.g., Ω Bias Forecaster, Ω IV Walls) for powerful regime-based strategies.
Omega Market Mood Meter is ideal for discretionary and systematic traders who want a clean, multi-timeframe sentiment readout and a cutting-edge weighted trend engine grounded in market psychology.
[eLm] 0-1-2# 📈 Market Structure Indicator – Counter System
This indicator dynamically analyzes price action to detect key market structure shifts and trend strength using four essential formations:
## 🔍 Detected Structures
- **Higher High (HH):** A candle forming a new high above recent peaks
- **Lower Low (LL):** A candle forming a new low below recent bottoms
- **Higher Low (HL):** A higher dip, indicating potential trend continuation
- **Lower High (LH):** A lower peak, signaling potential weakness
## 🧠 Structure Protection Logic
After a HH or LL is formed, if price does not breach that level within a user-defined number of candles, the level is considered **"protected."**
This provides insight into trend strength and market reaction.
## 🔢 HL / LH Counter System
- Each HL or LH increases a counter.
- A new HH or LL **resets** the corresponding counter to zero.
> This helps visualize how many consecutive HL or LH structures have occurred — useful for measuring trend momentum.
## 🎯 Use Cases
- Trend following and confirmation
- Early trend reversal detection
- Building structure-based trading strategies
- Understanding price behavior and market intent

Simulated OI Proxy with Trend Table1. In Simple Terms
This script mimics open interest analysis using price and volume changes.
It visually marks possible bullish and bearish setups directly on your price chart.
It’s especially useful for markets where real OI data is not available (like Indian stocks)
=======================================================================
2. Calculating Price and Volume Changes
close - close: Calculates the change in closing price from the previous bar to the current bar.
volume - volume: Calculates the change in trading volume from the previous bar to the current bar.
Purpose:
These calculations help determine if price and volume are increasing or decreasing, which is used as a proxy for open interest (OI) since real OI data may not be available.
===================================================================
3. Proxy Logic for OI Signals
long_buildup: Both price and volume are rising. This suggests new buying interest (bullish signal).
short_buildup: Price is falling but volume is rising. This suggests new short positions are being opened (bearish signal).
short_covering: Price is rising but volume is falling. This suggests shorts are closing their positions, causing a price rise (cautiously bullish).
long_unwinding: Both price and volume are falling. This suggests long positions are being closed (cautiously bearish).
====================================================================
4. Plotting the Signals
plotshape(condition, ...): Draws a shape on the chart when the condition is true.
Long Buildup: Green triangle below the bar (bullish).
Short Buildup: Red triangle above the bar (bearish).
Short Covering: Blue circle below the bar (cautiously bullish).
Long Unwinding: Orange circle above the bar (cautiously bearish).
======================================================================
5. Signal Detection:
The script checks price and volume changes to determine which signal is active.
Trend Assignment:
It assigns a text label and color for the detected trend.
Table Display:
A table appears at the top-right of your chart, showing the current trend based on the latest bar.
EMA Trend Dashboard
Trend Indicator using 3 custom EMA lines. Displays a table with 5 rows(position configurable)
-First line shows relative position of EMA lines to each other and outputs Bull, Weak Bull, Flat, Weak Bear, or Bear. EMA line1 should be less than EMA line2 and EMA line 2 should be less than EMA line3. Default is 9,21,50.
-Second through fourth line shows the slant of each EMA line. Up, Down, or Flat. Threshold for what is considered a slant is configurable. Also added a "steep" threshold configuration for steep slants.
-Fifth line shows exhaustion and is a simple, configurable calculation of the distance between EMA line1 and EMA line2.
--Lines one and five change depending on its value but ALL other colors are able to be changed.
--Default is somewhat set to work well with Micro E-mini Futures but this indicator can be changed to work on anything. I created it to help get a quick overview of short-term trend on futures. I used ChatGPT to help but I am still not sure if it actually took longer because of it.
Order + Breaker Blocks MTF - Vees Hidden LiquidityThis indicator is a Hidden Liquidity Script, being a much more refined and precise version of "Order Blocks" also known as "Supply and Demand" zones.
This script is more refined and precise as this script is the only script that displays the exact body part of blocks on multiple timeframes, showing potentially powerful price reversal zones for taking a long or short.
This is a PRICE ACTION indicator, demonstrating price action that can result in potential good support/resistance levels for taking a long or short trade.
This indicator only displays the body part of order blocks, instead of including wicks that all other indicators do. That makes this script a much more refined version of all other scripts out there.
Not only that, this script can collate multiple timeframes into one indicator, again something other scripts cannot do.
This script is also unique compared to other Hidden Liquidity style scripts in that you have full control over each Order Block so you can see each individual block on a chart, whilst other charts combine them into a zone instead. This refined version gives you precise potential entries and much further refinement as well as more thorough backtesting capabilities.
This script also can highlight order blocks that pass THROUGH a Fair Value Gap. These are known as 'Breaker Blocks'. These powerful blocks can be places of interest as support or resistance for a long or short trade. Note: This script shows the body part of a block only and not the wick.
Breaker Blocks, where significant displacement has occurred in price past a block can be more powerful. This script does not highlight Fair Value Gaps themselves, only order blocks (supply and demand) and breaker blocks through displacement in price (through an FVG). FVGs on their own can be weaker without order blocks behind them hence they are not highlighted.
The BODY of the order block, and the 0.5 of the order block are key regions for considering a trade, treating that level as either resistance or support.
Important: PLEASE NOTE: This indicator will only show timeframes that are higher than or the same as the current chart timeframe.
For Example, only blocks 3 Days or higher will show on a 3D chart. It will not show 12h blocks on a 3D chart. You would need to go to a 12 hour chart with the 12h blocks showing to see all Blocks that are 12h or higher drawn.
SETTINGS:
There is options to change the colours of the boxes and to differentiate between Order Blocks and stronger Breaker Blocks if desired.
If this is NOT desired, make all color options the same color,.
Shown below is blue Order Blocks (Supply and Demand
Shown below there is Pink Breaker Blocks.
There is options to weaken the colour of blocks that have been tapped by a wick and thus partially used up, also called partially "mitigated".These blocks can be considered weaker support/resistance.
Once a block has had a wick or body close over it entirely, the block can be considered fully "mitigated" and will disappear from the indicator once that candle has closed. This block level can now be considered too weak. You can also choose to not show these partially mitigated blocks at all.
The charts above shows pale Violet blocks as partially mitigated or "tapped" blocks.
The blocks in HOT BRIGHT Violet are untapped and potentially stronger levels for a Long or Short trade. See below the 7h.
Additional SETTINGS:
Further options include, if selected: Counting the number of fair value gaps an order block may pass through. More FVGs an order block (now a breaker block) passes through can strengthen the support of that block level, making a reversal more likely.
There is an option of showing old mitigated order blocks and changing the color of these on the chart. This can aid in backtesting of levels.
Further Settings include:
- an option to remove very thin blocks that may not be strong points.
- an option to denote with a character such as a * blocks that have their EQ 0.5 region wicked - these can be considered weaker.
- an option to denote with an additional * or another character blocks that are barely tapped by a small percent so you know they are still considered quite strong.
- an option to show how many candles form the order block.
Additional Options include:
- an option to show blocks only within a specific price range or percent range of the current price.
- an option to only look X number of bars back.
There is Options regarding labelling, and Border widths on boxes.
It is ESSENTIAL to do your own research and backtesting!
It is recommended to combine these levels with other concepts for added confluence.
Other indicators are NOT included in this script. This is purely a refined order block script for the BODY of a block only.
You can combine Order Blocks and stronger versions known as Breaker Blocks in this script with other indicators or concepts to form a Full Trading Strategy.
Other potential concepts to combine, not shown in this script can include Smart Money Concepts, Market Structure, Fibonnaccis, SMAs, EMAs or any other concept to give added confluence to the support / resistance levels identified in this script that may indicate that the level is stronger.
This indicator is not a trading strategy on its own. It is best used in combination with other concepts to improve the success.
Backtesting this indicator is highly recommended and incorporated into a full trading system of your own design. This only identifies possible key regions based on Price Action Strategies.
This indicator simply makes the identification of these hot levels easier and simpler to find, especially across multiple timeframes.
A strong bright zone on the indicator can be a stronger level than a weak partial block that is in light colours.
Again -Please do your own research and backtesting.
These indicators make finding these levels much much simpler and easier when combined with a full trading strategy.
Any feedback is welcome.

Pedro Canto - Portfolio Manager | CGA/CGE
OVERVIEW
Trend Sync is a multi-layered trend-following indicator designed to help traders identify high-probability trend continuation setups while avoiding low-quality entries caused by overbought or oversold market conditions.
This indicator combines the power of Moving Averages (MA), MACD , and a visual RSI-based filter to validate both trend direction and timing for entries. It's goal is simple: filter out noise and highlight only the most technically relevant buy and sell signals based on objective momentum and trend criteria.
---
WALKTHROUGH
This indicator is built for traders seeking to operate in the direction of established trends. It's core principle is to identify and validate current trend conditions, and then signal entry opportunities during pullbacks to key moving averages.
Trend identification is achieved through the alignment of two moving averages. When these MAs are crossed and angled in the same direction, they confirm that a trend is in progress. To double-confirm trend direction, the MACD histogram is used—only. When both the MAs and MACD are aligned in the same direction, then the trend is considered valid.
Once all trend criteria are met, a dynamic coloring system is activated to visually reinforce the trend across the candles and moving averages.
To avoid poor entries during market exhaustion, an RSI-based filter is used. This short-term RSI highlights overbought or oversold zones, helping traders filter trades in extreme price conditions.
Only when the trend is validated and price pulls back to one of the MAs will a buy/sell signal be triggered, aligning momentum, price action and timing into a single actionable setup.
This combination ensures that each component plays a specific role:
i) Moving Averages define the trend
ii) MACD validates it
iii) RSI filters noise
iv) Intrabar price action triggers entries
This synchronism helps improve decision-making and entry timing, especially for swing and intraday traders.
---
USE CASES
- Identifying trend continuation setups
- Filtering false signals during consolidation phases
- Avoiding trades in overbought or oversold zones
- Enhancing entry timing for both swing and intraday strategies
- Providing visual confirmation of trend strength and momentum alignment
---
KEY FEATURES
1. Dual Moving Average Setup
The indicator allows full customization of two moving averages (MA1 and MA2), supporting both EMA and SMA types. The slope of the longer MA (MA2) acts as an essential trend filter, ensuring signals are only generated when the market shows clear directional bias.
2. MACD Histogram Trend Confirmation
A classic MACD Histogram calculation is used to validate the momentum of the prevailing trend.
- Bullish Trend: Histogram > 0
- Bearish Trend: Histogram < 0
This step filters out counter-trend signals and ensures trades are aligned with momentum.
3. Intrabar Price Trigger
Unlike standard crossover systems, this indicator waits for intrabar price action to trigger entries:
- Buy Signal: Price crosses below one of the MAs during an uptrend (dip-buy logic)
- Sell Signal: Price crosses above one of the MAs during a downtrend (rally-sell logic)
This intrabar trigger improves entry timing and helps capture retracement-based opportunities.
4. RSI Visual Filter
A short-term RSI is plotted and color-coded to visually highlight overbought and oversold conditions, acting as a discretionary filter for users to avoid low-probability trades during exhaustion points.
5. Dynamic Coloring System
Bar Colors:
- Blue: Bullish trend
- Red: Bearish trend
- Orange: RSI Overbought/Oversold zones
MA Colors:
- Blue for bullish conditions
- Red for bearish conditions
- Gray for neutral/no-trend phases
6. Signal Markers and Alerts
Clear visual buy and sell markers are plotted directly on the chart.
Additionally, the indicator includes real-time alerts for both Buy and Sell signals, helping traders stay informed even when away from the screen.
---
INPUTS AND CUSTOMIZATION OPTIONS
- Moving Average Types: EMA or SMA for both MA1 and MA2.
- MACD Settings: Customizable fast, slow, and signal periods.
- RSI Settings: Source, length, and overbought/oversold levels fully adjustable.

IU Fibonacci Levels For IntradayDESCRIPTION
This indicator draws intraday Fibonacci levels from the opening price of the day using percentage-based retracements. It helps traders identify potential intraday support and resistance zones derived from the day’s opening bias. The levels are dynamically calculated and displayed with optional labels and customizable colors, making it an effective tool for both breakout and mean-reversion intraday strategies.
USER INPUTS
Direction Of The Level
Choose whether to show Upside, Downside, or Both level sets based on your directional bias.
Show Labels of Levels
Option to enable or disable text labels displaying Fibonacci values and prices.
Individual Level Toggles & Colors
You can choose to show or hide each of the following Fibonacci levels and set their respective colors:
* 0.236
* 0.328
* 0.500
* 0.618
* 0.786
* 1.000
INDICATOR LOGIC
On the first bar of the session, the opening price is captured.
Fibonacci levels are then calculated above and below this open using percentage multipliers (for example, day\_open + (day\_open \* 0.236%) for the 0.236 level).
Depending on the selected direction, upside and/or downside levels are plotted.
Filled zones are drawn between levels to visually highlight key price zones.
Optionally, each level can be labeled with its Fibonacci value and price.
WHY IT IS UNIQUE
Unlike traditional swing-based Fibonacci retracements, this tool uses the day’s opening price as an anchor, specifically designed for intraday traders.
Allows traders to quickly visualize micro-support and resistance levels that adapt every day.
Highly customizable and easy to read, with filled level bands for better zone recognition.
Works independently of indicators like RSI, MACD, or moving averages – purely based on price action logic.
HOW USER CAN BENEFIT FROM IT
Spot precise intraday reversal zones or breakout regions.
Combine with price action or volume analysis for smarter entries.
Filter trades by choosing directional bias (Up Site, Down Site, or Both).
Set profit targets or stop-losses based on Fibonacci bands.
Works great for scalpers, day traders, and even short-term swing traders looking to align with opening price momentum.

Normalized Volume IndexIn the realm of technical analysis, volume is more than just a measure of market activity—it’s a window into trader psychology. Two classic indicators that harness this insight are the Positive Volume Index (PVI) and Negative Volume Index (NVI). Developed in the early 20th century by Paul L. Dysart and later refined by Norman G. Fosback in 1976, these tools aim to distinguish between the behavior of the so-called “smart money” and the broader market crowd.
- Positive Volume Index (PVI) tracks price changes only on days when trading volume increases. It assumes that rising volume reflects the actions of less-informed retail traders—those who follow the herd.
- Negative Volume Index (NVI), on the other hand, focuses on days when volume decreases, under the premise that institutional investors (the “smart money”) are more active when the market is quiet.
This dichotomy allows traders to interpret market sentiment through the lens of volume behavior. For example, a rising NVI during a price uptrend may suggest that institutional investors are quietly accumulating positions—often a bullish signal.
Traders use PVI and NVI to:
- Confirm trends: If NVI is above its moving average, it often signals a strong underlying trend supported by smart money.
- Spot reversals: Divergences between price and either index can hint at weakening momentum or upcoming reversals.
- Gauge participation: PVI rising faster than price may indicate overenthusiastic retail buying—potentially a contrarian signal.
These indicators are often paired with moving averages (e.g., 255-day EMA) to generate actionable signals. Fosback’s research suggested that when NVI is above its one-year EMA, there’s a high probability of a bull market.
While PVI and NVI are cumulative indices, normalizing them—for example, by rebasing to 100 or converting to percentage changes—offers several benefits:
- Comparability: Normalized indices can be compared across different assets or timeframes.
- Clarity: It becomes easier to visualize relative strength or weakness.
- Backtesting: Normalized values are more suitable for algorithmic strategies and statistical analysis.
Normalization also helps when combining PVI/NVI with other indicators in multi-factor models, ensuring no single metric dominates due to scale differences
In essence, PVI and NVI offer a nuanced view of market dynamics by separating the noise of volume surges from the quiet confidence of institutional moves. When normalized and interpreted correctly, they become powerful allies in a trader’s decision-making toolkit.
How to use this (Educational material):
For instance, on average, when the Negative Volume Index (NVI) remains above its midline, the market tends to trend positively, reflecting consistent institutional participation. However, when the NVI dips and stays below the midline, it often signals a negative trend, indicating that smart money is stepping away or reducing exposure.
Another telling scenario occurs when the Positive Volume Index (PVI) drops below the NVI. While this might coincide with a brief price dip, institutions often interpret this as an opportunity to buy the dip, quietly accumulating positions while retail participants exit in panic. The result? A market recovery driven by smart money.
Conversely, when the PVI consistently remains above the NVI, it may point to retail enthusiasm outpacing institutional support. This imbalance can flag a tired or overextended trend, where the smart money has already positioned itself defensively. When this pattern persists, there's a high likelihood that institutions will pull the plug, leading to a pronounced trend reversal.
Chandelier Exit Oscillator [LuxAlgo]The Chandelier Exit Oscillator is a technical analysis tool that provides insights into potential trend reversals, momentum shifts, and trend continuation patterns, helping traders pinpoint optimal exit points for both long and short positions.
By calculating trailing stop levels based on a multiple of the Average True Range (ATR), the oscillator visually indicates when prices move above or below these critical stop levels.
This script uniquely combines the Chandelier Exit indicator with an oscillator format, equipping traders with a versatile tool that leverages ATR-based levels for enhanced trend analysis.
🔶 USAGE
Displaying the Chandelier Exit as an oscillator allows traders to gauge trend momentum and strength, recognize potential reversals, and refine their market insights.
The Timeframe option specifies the timeframe used for calculations, enabling multi-timeframe analysis and allowing traders to align the indicator’s signals with broader or narrower market trends.
The Chandelier Exit Oscillator allows users to select between a Regular or Normalized oscillator type. The Regular option displays raw oscillator values, while the Normalized version smooths values and scales them from 0 to 100.
The Chandelier Exit Overlay allows users to enable or disable the display of Chandelier Exit levels directly on the price chart. When enabled, this overlay plots trailing stop levels for both long and short positions, helping traders visually monitor potential exit points and trend boundaries alongside the price action.
The Trend-based Bar Color feature allows users to color the bars on the price chart according to the current trend direction. This visual differentiation aids in quicker decision-making and provides a clearer understanding of market dynamics.
🔶 SETTINGS
🔹 Chandelier Exit Settings

Logarithmic Moving Average (LMA) [QuantAlgo]🟢 Overview
The Logarithmic Moving Average (LMA) uses advanced logarithmic weighting to create a dynamic trend-following indicator that prioritizes recent price action while maintaining statistical significance. Unlike traditional moving averages that use linear or exponential weights, this indicator employs logarithmic decay functions to create a more sophisticated price averaging system that adapts to market volatility and momentum conditions.
The indicator displays a smoothed signal line that oscillates around zero, with positive values indicating bullish momentum and negative values indicating bearish momentum. The signal incorporates trend quality assessment, momentum confirmation, and multiple filtering mechanisms to help traders and investors identify trend continuation and reversal opportunities across different timeframes and asset classes.
🟢 How It Works
The indicator's core innovation lies in its logarithmic weighting system, where weights are calculated using the formula: w = 1.0 / math.pow(math.log(i + steepness), 2) The steepness parameter controls how aggressively recent data is prioritized over historical data, creating a dynamic weight decay that can be fine-tuned for different trading styles. This logarithmic approach provides more nuanced weight distribution compared to exponential moving averages, offering better responsiveness while maintaining stability.
The LMA calculation combines multiple sophisticated components. First, it calculates the logarithmic weighted average of closing prices. Then it measures the slope of this average over a 10-period lookback: lmaSlope = (lma - lma ) / lma * 100 The system also incorporates trend quality assessment using R-squared correlation analysis of log-transformed prices, measuring how well the price data fits a linear trend model over the specified period.
The final signal generation uses the formula: signal = lmaSlope * (0.5 + rSquared * 0.5) which combines the LMA slope with trend quality weighting. When momentum confirmation is enabled, the indicator calculates annualized log-return momentum and applies a multiplier when the momentum direction aligns with the signal direction, strengthening confirmed signals while filtering out weak or counter-trend movements.
🟢 How to Use
1. Signal Interpretation and Threshold Zones
Positive Values (Above Zero): LMA slope indicating bullish momentum with upward price trajectory relative to logarithmic baseline
Negative Values (Below Zero): LMA slope indicating bearish momentum with downward price trajectory relative to logarithmic baseline
Zero Line Crosses: Signal transitions between bullish and bearish regimes, indicating potential trend changes
Long Entry Threshold Zone: Area above positive threshold (default 0.5) indicating confirmed bullish signals suitable for long positions
Short Entry Threshold Zone: Area below negative threshold (default -0.5) indicating confirmed bearish signals suitable for short positions
Extreme Values: Signals exceeding ±1.0 represent strong momentum conditions with higher probability of continuation
2. Momentum Confirmation and Visual Analysis
Signal Color Intensity: Gradient coloring shows signal strength, with brighter colors indicating stronger momentum
Bar Coloring: Optional price bar coloring matches signal direction for quick visual trend identification
Position Labels: Real-time position classification (Bullish/Bearish/Neutral) displayed on the latest bar
Momentum Weight Factor: When short-term log-return momentum aligns with LMA signal direction, the signal receives additional weight confirmation
Trend Quality Component: R-squared values weight the signal strength, with higher correlation indicating more reliable trend conditions
3. Examples: Preconfigured Settings
Default: Universally applicable configuration balanced for medium-term investing and general trading across multiple timeframes and asset classes.
Scalping: Highly responsive setup with shorter period and higher steepness for ultra-short-term trades on 1-15 minute charts, optimized for quick momentum shifts.
Swing Trading: Extended period with moderate steepness and increased smoothing for multi-day positions, designed to filter noise while capturing larger price swings on 1-4 hour and daily charts.
Trend Following: Maximum smoothing with lower steepness for established trend identification, generating fewer but more reliable signals optimal for daily and weekly timeframes.
Mean Reversion: Shorter period with high steepness for counter-trend strategies, more sensitive to extreme moves and reversal opportunities in ranging market conditions.

GCM Bull Bear RiderGCM Bull Bear Rider (GCM BBR)
Your Ultimate Trend-Riding Companion
GCM Bull Bear Rider is a comprehensive, all-in-one trend analysis tool designed to eliminate guesswork and provide a crystal-clear view of market direction. By leveraging a highly responsive Jurik Moving Average (JMA), this indicator not only identifies bullish and bearish trends with precision but also tracks their performance in real-time, helping you ride the waves of momentum from start to finish.
Whether you are a scalper, day trader, or swing trader, the GCM BBR adapts to your style, offering a clean, intuitive, and powerful visual guide to the market's pulse.
Key Features
JMA-Powered Trend Lines (UTPL & DTPL): The core of the indicator. A green "Up Trend Period Line" (UTPL) appears when the JMA's slope turns positive (buyers are in control), and a red "Down Trend Period Line" (DTPL) appears when the slope turns negative (sellers are in control). The JMA is used for its low lag and superior smoothing, giving you timely and reliable trend signals.
Live Profit Tracking Labels: This is the standout feature. As soon as a trend period begins, a label appears showing the real-time profit (P:) from the trend's starting price. This label moves with the trend, giving you instant feedback on its performance and helping you make informed trade management decisions.
Historical Performance Analysis: The profit labels remain on the chart for completed trends, allowing you to instantly review past performance. See at a glance which trends were profitable and which were not, aiding in strategy refinement and backtesting.

Dual-Ribbon Momentum System:
JMA / Short EMA Ribbon: Visualizes short-term momentum. A green fill indicates immediate bullish strength, while a red fill shows bearish pressure.
Short EMA / Long EMA Ribbon: Acts as a long-term trend filter, providing broader market context for your decisions.
"GCM Hunt" Entry Signals: The indicator includes optional pullback entry signals (green and red triangles). These appear when the price pulls back to a key moving average and then recovers in the direction of the primary trend, offering high-probability entry opportunities.
How to Use
Identify the Trend: Look for the appearance of a solid green line (UTPL) for a bullish bias or a solid red line (DTPL) for a bearish bias. Use the wider EMA ribbon for macro trend confirmation.
Time Your Entry: For aggressive entries, you can enter as soon as a new trend line appears. For more conservative entries, wait for a "GCM Hunt" triangle signal, which confirms a successful pullback.
Ride the Trend & Manage Your Trade: The moving profit label (P:) is your guide. As long as the trend line continues and the profit is increasing, you can confidently stay in the trade. A flattening JMA or a decreasing profit value can signal that the trend is losing steam.
Focus Your Strategy: Use the Display Mode setting to switch between "Buyers Only," "Sellers Only," or both. This allows you to completely hide opposing signals and focus solely on long or short opportunities.
Core Settings
Display Mode: The master switch. Choose to see visuals for "Buyers & Sellers," "Buyers Only," or "Sellers Only."
JMA Settings (Length, Phase): Fine-tune the responsiveness of the core JMA engine.
EMA Settings (Long, Short): Adjust the lengths of the moving averages that define the ribbons and "Hunt" signals.
Label Offset (ATR Multiplier): Customize the gap between the trend lines and the profit labels to avoid overlap with candles.

Aetherium Institutional Market Resonance EngineAetherium Institutional Market Resonance Engine (AIMRE)
A Three-Pillar Framework for Decoding Institutional Activity
🎓 THEORETICAL FOUNDATION
The Aetherium Institutional Market Resonance Engine (AIMRE) is a multi-faceted analysis system designed to move beyond conventional indicators and decode the market's underlying structure as dictated by institutional capital flow. Its philosophy is built on a singular premise: significant market moves are preceded by a convergence of context , location , and timing . Aetherium quantifies these three dimensions through a revolutionary three-pillar architecture.
This system is not a simple combination of indicators; it is an integrated engine where each pillar's analysis feeds into a central logic core. A signal is only generated when all three pillars achieve a state of resonance, indicating a high-probability alignment between market organization, key liquidity levels, and cyclical momentum.
⚡ THE THREE-PILLAR ARCHITECTURE
1. 🌌 PILLAR I: THE COHERENCE ENGINE (THE 'CONTEXT')
Purpose: To measure the degree of organization within the market. This pillar answers the question: " Is the market acting with a unified purpose, or is it chaotic and random? "
Conceptual Framework: Institutional campaigns (accumulation or distribution) create a non-random, organized market environment. Retail-driven or directionless markets are characterized by "noise" and chaos. The Coherence Engine acts as a filter to ensure we only engage when institutional players are actively steering the market.
Formulaic Concept:
Coherence = f(Dominance, Synchronization)
Dominance Factor: Calculates the absolute difference between smoothed buying pressure (volume-weighted bullish candles) and smoothed selling pressure (volume-weighted bearish candles), normalized by total pressure. A high value signifies a clear winner between buyers and sellers.
Synchronization Factor: Measures the correlation between the streams of buying and selling pressure over the analysis window. A high positive correlation indicates synchronized, directional activity, while a negative correlation suggests choppy, conflicting action.
The final Coherence score (0-100) represents the percentage of market organization. A high score is a prerequisite for any signal, filtering out unpredictable market conditions.
2. 💎 PILLAR II: HARMONIC LIQUIDITY MATRIX (THE 'LOCATION')
Purpose: To identify and map high-impact institutional footprints. This pillar answers the question: " Where have institutions previously committed significant capital? "
Conceptual Framework: Large institutional orders leave indelible marks on the market in the form of anomalous volume spikes at specific price levels. These are not random occurrences but are areas of intense historical interest. The Harmonic Liquidity Matrix finds these footprints and consolidates them into actionable support and resistance zones called "Harmonic Nodes."
Algorithmic Process:
Footprint Identification: The engine scans the historical lookback period for candles where volume > average_volume * Institutional_Volume_Filter. This identifies statistically significant volume events.
Node Creation: A raw node is created at the mean price of the identified candle.
Dynamic Clustering: The engine uses an ATR-based proximity algorithm. If a new footprint is identified within Node_Clustering_Distance (ATR) of an existing Harmonic Node, it is merged. The node's price is volume-weighted, and its magnitude is increased. This prevents chart clutter and consolidates nearby institutional orders into a single, more significant level.
Node Decay: Nodes that are older than the Institutional_Liquidity_Scanback period are automatically removed from the chart, ensuring the analysis remains relevant to recent market dynamics.
3. 🌊 PILLAR III: CYCLICAL RESONANCE MATRIX (THE 'TIMING')
Purpose: To identify the market's dominant rhythm and its current phase. This pillar answers the question: " Is the market's immediate energy flowing up or down? "
Conceptual Framework: Markets move in waves and cycles of varying lengths. Trading in harmony with the current cyclical phase dramatically increases the probability of success. Aetherium employs a simplified wavelet analysis concept to decompose price action into short, medium, and long-term cycles.
Algorithmic Process:
Cycle Decomposition: The engine calculates three oscillators based on the difference between pairs of Exponential Moving Averages (e.g., EMA8-EMA13 for short cycle, EMA21-EMA34 for medium cycle).
Energy Measurement: The 'energy' of each cycle is determined by its recent volatility (standard deviation). The cycle with the highest energy is designated as the "Dominant Cycle."
Phase Analysis: The engine determines if the dominant cycles are in a bullish phase (rising from a trough) or a bearish phase (falling from a peak).
Cycle Sync: The highest conviction timing signals occur when multiple cycles (e.g., short and medium) are synchronized in the same direction, indicating broad-based momentum.
🔧 COMPREHENSIVE INPUT SYSTEM
Pillar I: Market Coherence Engine
Coherence Analysis Window (10-50, Default: 21): The lookback period for the Coherence Engine.
Lower Values (10-15): Highly responsive to rapid shifts in market control. Ideal for scalping but can be sensitive to noise.
Balanced (20-30): Excellent for day trading, capturing the ebb and flow of institutional sessions.
Higher Values (35-50): Smoother, more stable reading. Best for swing trading and identifying long-term institutional campaigns.
Coherence Activation Level (50-90%, Default: 70%): The minimum market organization required to enable signal generation.
Strict (80-90%): Only allows signals in extremely clear, powerful trends. Fewer, but potentially higher quality signals.
Standard (65-75%): A robust filter that effectively removes choppy conditions while capturing most valid institutional moves.
Lenient (50-60%): Allows signals in less-organized markets. Can be useful in ranging markets but may increase false signals.
Pillar II: Harmonic Liquidity Matrix
Institutional Liquidity Scanback (100-400, Default: 200): How far back the engine looks for institutional footprints.
Short (100-150): Focuses on recent institutional activity, providing highly relevant, immediate levels.
Long (300-400): Identifies major, long-term structural levels. These nodes are often extremely powerful but may be less frequent.
Institutional Volume Filter (1.3-3.0, Default: 1.8): The multiplier for detecting a volume spike.
High (2.5-3.0): Only registers climactic, undeniable institutional volume. Fewer, but more significant nodes.
Low (1.3-1.7): More sensitive, identifying smaller but still relevant institutional interest.
Node Clustering Distance (0.2-0.8 ATR, Default: 0.4): The ATR-based distance for merging nearby nodes.
High (0.6-0.8): Creates wider, more consolidated zones of liquidity.
Low (0.2-0.3): Creates more numerous, precise, and distinct levels.
Pillar III: Cyclical Resonance Matrix
Cycle Resonance Analysis (30-100, Default: 50): The lookback for determining cycle energy and dominance.
Short (30-40): Tunes the engine to faster, shorter-term market rhythms. Best for scalping.
Long (70-100): Aligns the timing component with the larger primary trend. Best for swing trading.
Institutional Signal Architecture
Signal Quality Mode (Professional, Elite, Supreme): Controls the strictness of the three-pillar confluence.
Professional: Loosest setting. May generate signals if two of the three pillars are in strong alignment. Increases signal frequency.
Elite: Balanced setting. Requires a clear, unambiguous resonance of all three pillars. The recommended default.
Supreme: Most stringent. Requires perfect alignment of all three pillars, with each pillar exhibiting exceptionally strong readings (e.g., coherence > 85%). The highest conviction signals.
Signal Spacing Control (5-25, Default: 10): The minimum bars between signals to prevent clutter and redundant alerts.
🎨 ADVANCED VISUAL SYSTEM
The visual architecture of Aetherium is designed not merely for aesthetics, but to provide an intuitive, at-a-glance understanding of the complex data being processed.
Harmonic Liquidity Nodes: The core visual element. Displayed as multi-layered, semi-transparent horizontal boxes.
Magnitude Visualization: The height and opacity of a node's "glow" are proportional to its volume magnitude. More significant nodes appear brighter and larger, instantly drawing the eye to key levels.
Color Coding: Standard nodes are blue/purple, while exceptionally high-magnitude nodes are highlighted in an accent color to denote critical importance.
🌌 Quantum Resonance Field: A dynamic background gradient that visualizes the overall market environment.
Color: Shifts from cool blues/purples (low coherence) to energetic greens/cyans (high coherence and organization), providing instant context.
Intensity: The brightness and opacity of the field are influenced by total market energy (a composite of coherence, momentum, and volume), making powerful market states visually apparent.
💎 Crystalline Lattice Matrix: A geometric web of lines projected from a central moving average.
Mathematical Basis: Levels are projected using multiples of the Golden Ratio (Phi ≈ 1.618) and the ATR. This visualizes the natural harmonic and fractal structure of the market. It is not arbitrary but is based on mathematical principles of market geometry.
🧠 Synaptic Flow Network: A dynamic particle system visualizing the engine's "thought process."
Node Density & Activation: The number of particles and their brightness/color are tied directly to the Market Coherence score. In high-coherence states, the network becomes a dense, bright, and organized web. In chaotic states, it becomes sparse and dim.
⚡ Institutional Energy Waves: Flowing sine waves that visualize market volatility and rhythm.
Amplitude & Speed: The height and speed of the waves are directly influenced by the ATR and volume, providing a feel for market energy.

Liquidity Matrix Section:
Nodes: Displays the total number of active Harmonic Liquidity Nodes currently being tracked.
Target: Shows the price level of the nearest significant Harmonic Node to the current price, representing the most immediate institutional level of interest.
Cycle Matrix Section:
Cycle: Identifies the currently dominant market cycle (e.g., "MID ") based on cycle energy.
Sync: Indicates the alignment of the cyclical forces: ▲ BULLISH , ▼ BEARISH , or ◆ DIVERGENT . This is the core timing confirmation.
Signal Status Section:
A unified status bar that provides the final verdict of the engine. It will display "QUANTUM SCAN" during neutral periods, or announce the tier and direction of an active signal (e.g., "◉ TIER 1 BUY ◉" ), highlighted with the appropriate color.
🎯 SIGNAL GENERATION LOGIC
Aetherium's signal logic is built on the principle of strict, non-negotiable confluence.
Condition 1: Context (Coherence Filter): The Market Coherence must be above the Coherence Activation Level. No signals can be generated in a chaotic market.
Condition 2: Location (Liquidity Node Interaction): Price must be actively interacting with a significant Harmonic Liquidity Node.
For a Buy Signal: Price must be rejecting the Node from below (testing it as support).
For a Sell Signal: Price must be rejecting the Node from above (testing it as resistance).
Condition 3: Timing (Cycle Alignment): The Cyclical Resonance Matrix must confirm that the dominant cycles are synchronized with the intended trade direction.
Signal Tiering: The Signal Quality Mode input determines how strictly these three conditions must be met. 'Supreme' mode, for example, might require not only that the conditions are met, but that the Market Coherence is exceptionally high and the interaction with the Node is accompanied by a significant volume spike.
Signal Spacing: A final filter ensures that signals are spaced by a minimum number of bars, preventing over-alerting in a single move.
🚀 ADVANCED TRADING STRATEGIES
The Primary Confluence Strategy: The intended use of the system. Wait for a Tier 1 (Elite/Supreme) or Tier 2 (Professional/Elite) signal to appear on the chart. This represents the alignment of all three pillars. Enter after the signal bar closes, with a stop-loss placed logically on the other side of the Harmonic Node that triggered the signal.
The Coherence Context Strategy: Use the Coherence Engine as a standalone market filter. When Coherence is high (>70%), favor trend-following strategies. When Coherence is low (<50%), avoid new directional trades or favor range-bound strategies. A sharp drop in Coherence during a trend can be an early warning of a trend's exhaustion.
Node-to-Node Trading: In a high-coherence environment, use the Harmonic Liquidity Nodes as both entry points and profit targets. For example, after a BUY signal is generated at one Node, the next Node above it becomes a logical first profit target.
⚖️ RESPONSIBLE USAGE AND LIMITATIONS
Decision Support, Not a Crystal Ball: Aetherium is an advanced decision-support tool. It is designed to identify high-probability conditions based on a model of institutional behavior. It does not predict the future.
Risk Management is Paramount: No indicator can replace a sound risk management plan. Always use appropriate position sizing and stop-losses. The signals provided are probabilistic, not certainties.
Past Performance Disclaimer: The market models used in this script are based on historical data. While robust, there is no guarantee that these patterns will persist in the future. Market conditions can and do change.
Not a "Set and Forget" System: The indicator performs best when its user understands the concepts behind the three pillars. Use the dashboard and visual cues to build a comprehensive view of the market before acting on a signal.
Backtesting is Essential: Before applying this tool to live trading, it is crucial to backtest and forward-test it on your preferred instruments and timeframes to understand its unique behavior and characteristics.
🔮 CONCLUSION
The Aetherium Institutional Market Resonance Engine represents a paradigm shift from single-variable analysis to a holistic, multi-pillar framework. By quantifying the abstract concepts of market context, location, and timing into a unified, logical system, it provides traders with an unprecedented lens into the mechanics of institutional market operations.
It is not merely an indicator, but a complete analytical engine designed to foster a deeper understanding of market dynamics. By focusing on the core principles of institutional order flow, Aetherium empowers traders to filter out market noise, identify key structural levels, and time their entries in harmony with the market's underlying rhythm.

Last 10 Sessions: High, Low, Pivot, GapLast 10 Sessions: High, Low, Pivot, Gap
This indicator highlights the most important price levels from the last 10 completed trading sessions to help intraday and swing traders quickly spot potential support, resistance, and price reaction zones.
Key Features:
Previous Highs and Lows : Visualize the high and low from each of the past 10 sessions. These are the most commonly tested breakout and reversal points for day trading.
Session Pivots: The classic pivot formula ((High + Low + Close) / 3) for each of the last 10 sessions, often acting as a market “equilibrium” or intraday magnet.
Gaps: Displays the difference between each day’s open and the previous session’s close (“gap”), showing sentiment shifts and possible gap fill targets.
Clean, Faded Visuals: All lines and labels are subtly faded so your chart remains clear and uncluttered, with each level labeled by how many sessions ago it occurred.
Full Customization: Instantly toggle any level type (High, Low, Pivot, Gap) ON/OFF in settings, extend lines to the right, and adjust their forward length.
Bulletproof Logic: Never throws runtime errors. Lines and labels only display when valid data is present.
How to Use:
Use recent highs/lows for breakout, breakdown, or mean reversion trades.
Spot where multiple levels from past sessions cluster together for high-probability reversal or breakout areas.
Watch pivots for intraday bias, and gaps for sentiment and possible fill plays.
Perfect for all intraday timeframes.
If you want a powerful yet minimal map of where price is most likely to react, this indicator is for you!
Developed by
Auto Trendlines [AlgoXcalibur]Effortlessly visualize trendlines.
This algorithm does more than just draw lines connecting structural swing points — it reveals dynamic support & resistance breakouts with clarity and precision while significantly reducing your workload compared to the hassle of manually drawing trendlines.
🧠 Algorithm Logic
This advanced Auto Trendlines indicator delivers clear market structure through an intelligent multi-fractal design, revealing useful swing structures in real time. For those seeking maximum awareness, the optional Micro Trendlines (Dotted) constantly monitors even the most recent and minor structural shifts — keeping you fully in tune with evolving market dynamics. A Break Detection Engine constantly monitors each trendline and provides instant visual feedback when structural integrity is lost: broken lines turn gray, stop extending, and remain visible to enhance clarity and situational awareness. The algorithm is carefully refined to prevent chart distortion commonly caused by forcing entire trendline structures into view — preserving a natural and accurate charting experience. To further ensure optimal readability, an integrated Clutter Control mechanism limits the number of visible trendlines — focusing attention only on the most relevant structures.
⚙️ User-Selectable Features
• Micro Trendlines (Dotted): Ultra-responsive short-term trendlines that react to even the smallest structural shifts — ideal for staying ahead of early trend changes.
• Broken Trendline Declutter: Enable to display only the most recent broken trendlines to simplify chart visuals and maintain clarity, or disable to analyze previous price action.
💡 Modern Innovation
Auto Trendline indicators are often inaccurate, clumsy, and rely on slow methods that fail to adapt. AlgoXcalibur’s Auto Trendline indicator takes a modern, refined approach — combining smart pivot logic for both speed and stability, dynamic break detection with clear visual cues, and displaying only the most relevant trendlines while prioritizing accuracy, preventing distortion, and reducing clutter — automatically.

Order + Breaker Blocks HTFThis indicator is a Hidden Liquidity Script, being a much more refined and precise version of "Order Blocks" also known as "Supply and Demand" zones.
This script is more refined and precise as this script is the only script that displays the exact body part of blocks on multiple timeframes, showing potentially powerful price reversal zones for taking a long or short.
This is a PRICE ACTION indicator, demonstrating price action that can result in potential good support/resistance levels for taking a long or short trade.
This indicator only displays the body part of order blocks, instead of including wicks that all other indicators do. That makes this script a much more refined version of all other scripts out there.
Not only that, this script can collate multiple timeframes into one indicator, again something other scripts cannot do.
This script is also unique compared to other Hidden Liquidity style scripts in that you have full control over each Order Block so you can see each individual block on a chart, whilst other charts combine them into a zone instead. This refined version gives you precise potential entries and much further refinement as well as more thorough backtesting capabilities.
This script also can highlight order blocks that pass THROUGH a Fair Value Gap. These are known as 'Breaker Blocks'. These powerful blocks can be places of interest as support or resistance for a long or short trade. Note: This script shows the body part of a block only and not the wick.
Breaker Blocks, where significant displacement has occurred in price past a block can be more powerful. This script does not highlight Fair Value Gaps themselves, only order blocks (supply and demand) and breaker blocks through displacement in price (through an FVG). FVGs on their own can be weaker without order blocks behind them hence they are not highlighted.
The BODY of the order block, and the 0.5 of the order block are key regions for considering a trade, treating that level as either resistance or support.
Important: PLEASE NOTE: This indicator will only show timeframes that are higher than or the same as the current chart timeframe.
For Example, only blocks 3 Days or higher will show on a 3D chart. It will not show 12h blocks on a 3D chart. You would need to go to a 12 hour chart with the 12h blocks showing to see all Blocks that are 12h or higher drawn.
SETTINGS:
There is options to change the colours of the boxes and to differentiate between Order Blocks and stronger Breaker Blocks if desired.
If this is NOT desired, make all color options the same color,.
Shown below is blue Order Blocks (Supply and Demand)
Shown below there is Pink Breaker Blocks.
There is options to weaken the colour of blocks that have been tapped by a wick and thus partially used up, also called partially "mitigated".These blocks can be considered weaker support/resistance.
Once a block has had a wick or body close over it entirely, the block can be considered fully "mitigated" and will disappear from the indicator once that candle has closed. This block level can now be considered too weak. You can also choose to not show these partially mitigated blocks at all.
The chart above shows pale Violet blocks as partially mitigated or "tapped" blocks.
The blocks in HOT BRIGHT Violet are untapped and potentially stronger levels for a Long or Short trade.
See below and example of a HOT PINK stronger level with a 1,2,3,4,5 Days of blocks in the one area.
See below an example of a weaker pink level. Still valid, but potentially riskier. There is a weaker 5D Block in pale pink and no other days in that same zone.
Additional SETTINGS:
Further options include, if selected: Counting the number of fair value gaps an order block may pass through. More FVGs an order block (now a breaker block) passes through can strengthen the support of that block level, making a reversal more likely.
There is an option of showing old mitigated order blocks and changing the color of these on the chart. This can aid in backtesting of levels.
Further Settings include:
- an option to remove very thin blocks that may not be strong points.
- an option to denote with a character such as a * blocks that have their EQ 0.5 region wicked - these can be considered weaker.
- an option to denote with an additional * or another character blocks that are barely tapped by a small percent so you know they are still considered quite strong.
- an option to show how many candles form the order block.
Additional Options include:
- an option to show blocks only within a specific price range or percent range of the current price.
- an option to only look X number of bars back.
There is Options regarding labelling, and Border widths on boxes.
It is ESSENTIAL to do your own research and backtesting!
It is recommended to combine these levels with other concepts for added confluence.
Other indicators are NOT included in this script. This is purely a refined order block script for the BODY of a block only.
You can combine Order Blocks and stronger versions known as Breaker Blocks in this script with other indicators or concepts to form a Full Trading Strategy.
Other potential concepts to combine, not shown in this script can include Smart Money Concepts, Market Structure, Fibonnaccis, SMAs, EMAs or any other concept to give added confluence to the support / resistance levels identified in this script that may indicate that the level is stronger.
This indicator is not a trading strategy on its own. It is best used in combination with other concepts to improve the success.
Backtesting this indicator is highly recommended and incorporated into a full trading system of your own design. This only identifies possible key regions based on Price Action Strategies.
This indicator simply makes the identification of these hot levels easier and simpler to find, especially across multiple timeframes.
A strong bright zone on the indicator can be a stronger level than a weak partial block that is in light colours.
Again -Please do your own research and backtesting.
These indicators make finding these levels much much simpler and easier when combined with a full trading strategy.
Any feedback is welcome.
