Holding VolumeThe Holding Volume indicator calculates and visualizes the volume that corresponds specifically to the body of each candle, excluding the wicks (the upper and lower shadows of the candle).
This indicator can help traders better understand the strength of price movement during the trading session, as it isolates the volume that occurs when the price is moving within the body of the candle (between the open and close prices).
Key Features:
Volume Calculation: The indicator calculates the holding volume by taking the ratio of the candle's body range to its total range (including the wicks), and then multiplies that by the total volume of the candle.
Main Chart Display: The indicator is designed to be overlaid on the main chart, displaying the holding volume in a style similar to the default volume indicator.
Customizable Label Color: Customize the text color of the volume labels displayed on each candle.
Volume as Columns: The holding volume is shown as columns at the bottom of the chart, similar to the default volume display, for easy comparison and analysis.
How It Helps:
By focusing on the volume within the candle body, this indicator helps you see where the actual price movement and market participation occurred.
It can be useful for identifying candles with strong momentum or distinguishing between significant price movements and those driven by minor fluctuations or wicks.
Ideal Use Case:
Day traders, swing traders, and volume-focused traders can use this indicator to identify trends and analyze the strength of price moves.
This indicator is particularly useful when combined with other technical analysis tools to validate breakouts or reversals, based on the volume within the body of the candles.
Instructions:
No additional setup required: Simply add the indicator to your chart, and it will automatically display the holding volume on the main chart.
Adjust the label text color via the settings to match your chart's theme.
Square Numbers Horizontal LinesTrading with square numbers is a unique approach to technical analysis, where square numbers (1, 4, 9, 16, 25, etc.) are used to guide the identification of potential levels of support, resistance, and price targets. These numbers are often considered in a more mathematical or geometric context, and they can be applied in trading strategies, chart patterns, and psychological market analysis.
Max/Min LevelsHighlights highs and lows that match the search criteria. A high is considered to be broken if the candlestick breaks through its shadow

Alternative Price [OmegaTools]The Alternative Price script is a sophisticated and flexible indicator designed to redefine how traders visualize and interpret price data. By offering multiple unique charting modes, robust customization options, and advanced features, this tool provides a comprehensive alternative to traditional price charts. It is particularly useful for identifying market trends, detecting patterns, and simplifying complex data into actionable insights.
This script is highly versatile, allowing users to choose from five distinct charting modes: Candles, Line, Channel, Renko, and Bubbles. Each mode serves a unique purpose and presents price information in an innovative way. When using this script, it is strongly recommended to hide the platform’s default price candles or chart data. Doing so will eliminate redundancy and provide a clearer and more focused view of the alternative price visualization.
The Candles mode offers a traditional candlestick charting style but with added flexibility. Users can choose to enable smoothed opens or smoothed closes, which adjust the way the open and close prices are calculated. When smoothed opens are enabled, the opening price is computed as the average of the actual open price and the closing prices of the previous two bars. This creates a more gradual representation of price transitions, particularly useful in markets prone to sudden spikes or irregularities. Similarly, smoothed closes modify the closing price by averaging it with the previous close, the high-low midpoint, and an exponential moving average of the high-low-close mean. This technique filters out noise, making trends and price momentum easier to identify.
In the Line mode, the script displays a simple line chart that connects the smoothed closing prices. This mode is ideal for traders who prefer minimalism or need to focus on the overall trend without the distraction of individual bar details. The Channel mode builds upon this by plotting additional lines representing the highs and lows of each bar. The resulting visualization resembles a price corridor that helps identify support and resistance zones or price compression areas.
The Renko mode introduces a more advanced and noise-filtering method of visualizing price movements. Renko charts, constructed using the ATR (Average True Range) as a baseline, display blocks that represent a specific price range. The script dynamically calculates the size of these blocks based on ATR, with separate thresholds for upward and downward movements. This makes Renko mode particularly effective for identifying sustained trends while ignoring minor price fluctuations. Additionally, the open and close values of Renko blocks can be smoothed to further refine the visualization.
The Bubbles mode represents price activity using circles or bubbles whose size corresponds to relative volume. This mode provides a quick and intuitive way to assess market participation at different price levels. Larger bubbles indicate higher trading volumes, while smaller bubbles highlight periods of lower activity. This visualization is particularly valuable in understanding the relationship between price movements and market liquidity.
The coloring of candles and other chart elements is a core feature of this script. Users can select between two color modes: Normal and Volume. In Normal mode, bullish candles are displayed in the user-defined bullish color, while bearish candles use the bearish color. Neutral elements, such as midpoints or undecided price movements, are shaded with a neutral color. In Volume mode, the candle colors are dynamically adjusted based on trading volume. A gradient color scale is applied, where the intensity of the bullish or bearish colors reflects the volume for that particular bar. This feature allows traders to visually identify periods of heightened activity and associate them with specific price movements.
Engulfing patterns, a popular technical analysis tool, are automatically detected and marked on the chart when the corresponding setting is enabled. The script identifies long engulfing patterns, where the current bar's range completely encompasses the previous bar’s range and indicates a potential bullish reversal. Similarly, short engulfing patterns are identified where the current bar fully engulfs the previous bar in the opposite direction, suggesting a bearish reversal. These patterns are visually highlighted with circular markers to draw the trader’s attention.
Each feature and mode is highly customizable. The colors for bullish, bearish, and neutral movements can be personalized, and the thresholds for patterns or smoothing can be fine-tuned to match specific trading strategies. The script's ability to toggle between various modes makes it adaptable to different market conditions and analysis preferences.
In summary, the Alternative Price script is a comprehensive tool that redefines the way traders view price charts. By offering multiple visualization modes, customizable features, and advanced detection algorithms, it provides a powerful way to uncover market trends, volume relationships, and significant patterns. The recommendation to hide default chart elements ensures that the focus remains on this innovative tool, enhancing its usability and clarity. This script empowers traders to gain deeper insights into market behavior and make informed trading decisions, all while maintaining a clean and visually appealing chart layout.
Keep in mind that some of the modes of this indicator might not reflect the actual closing price of the underlying asset, before opening a trade, check carefully the actual price!
Period Separator & Candle OHLCThis script combines two powerful tools for traders: period separators and custom timeframe-based OHLC (Open, High, Low, Close) data visualization. Here's what it does:
Period Separators:
The script draws vertical lines to indicate the start of new time periods based on a user-defined timeframe (e.g., hourly, daily, weekly).
Users can customize the separator color, line style (solid, dashed, dotted), and width to suit their preferences.
Fetches OHLC data from a higher or custom timeframe (e.g., 4 hours) and overlays it on the current chart.
Users can choose to display the open, high, low, and close prices as dots or circles for easy visualization.
Optionally, the open and close dots can be visually connected with a filled bar for a candlestick-like effect.
The script color-codes the close price relative to the open (green if higher, red if lower) to highlight price direction at a glance.
Fully Customizable:
Users have full control over which OHLC values to display and whether the dots should be filled.
Transparency settings for plotted dots and fills are also adjustable for optimal visibility on different chart styles.
How It Is Useful for Trading:
Timeframe Analysis:
The period separators make it easy to distinguish trading activity across custom time intervals. This is crucial for intraday, swing, and long-term traders who analyze price movements within specific periods.
Multi-Timeframe Insights:
By overlaying OHLC data from a higher timeframe on a lower timeframe chart, traders can identify key support and resistance levels, pivots, and trends that are not immediately visible on the current timeframe.
Trend Recognition:
The color-coded close dots (green for bullish, red for bearish) provide an instant visual cue of market sentiment, helping traders confirm or refute their bias.
Whether you're a scalper, day trader, or position trader, the flexibility in timeframe selection, styling, and data presentation ensures this tool can adapt to your trading strategy.
PC - HantuGalahThe PC - Hantu Galah indicator is a powerful tool designed for traders seeking to identify significant market momentum and volatility shifts. This indicator features a histogram graph that dynamically adapts to candle size and historical comparisons to highlight critical trading opportunities.
Key Features:
Histogram Visualization: The indicator plots a visually intuitive histogram graph to simplify analysis of candle size dynamics.
Dynamic Color Coding: The histogram turns blue when the current candle size exceeds 22 points and is also larger than the candle size from 20 periods back.
Momentum Detection: This feature makes it easier for traders to spot moments of heightened market activity, potentially signaling strong momentum or breakout scenarios.
This indicator is ideal for traders looking for a straightforward yet effective way to identify periods of high volatility and capitalize on strong price movements.
Support & Resistance SentinelSupport & Resistance Sentinel

Primary Buy Signals (B1-B10)
Special Indicators (HH, ED)
Understanding Buy Signals
B1: Follow-Through Day (FTD)
Buy on the initial FTD with volume higher than the previous day. You may use an FTD from an index other than the NASDAQ:IXIC , but if you do, you must stay within that index for future Buy and Sell Signals.
B2: Additional Follow-Through
Buy on all additional follow-through days within 25 days from a rally day that closes above the low of the initial follow-through day.
B3: Low Above EMA21
Buy on an up or flat day when the intraday low is at or above the EMA21. Note: Once you have a B3 or B4, you can't have another until it is reset by an S5.
Special Buy Indicators
HH: Higher High (No FTD after Rally)
Triggers when current close exceeds highest point since last confirmed rally. Must not have a Follow-Through Day (FTD). Buy switch turns on when close exceeds last rally's high and turns off if close drops below that high.
ED: Expired Days
Tracks Distribution and Stalling days that have aged out. Days are tracked for a specific trading period and expired days are removed from the count.
Index Rise Settings
Index Rise 6% from DD & SD
Toggle to enable/disable monitoring of price rises above Distribution and Stalling Days. Default value of 6% (adjustable) for monitoring rises above these days.
Understanding Index Rise
This feature tracks significant market recoveries by monitoring when the index rises substantially above Distribution Days (DD) or Stalling Days (SD). When the index rises 6% or more above the closing price of any DD or SD, it indicates a strong market recovery. This is an important signal because it helps identify when the market has shown enough strength to potentially overcome previous distribution periods. When triggered, this signal reduces the distribution day count, effectively acknowledging that the previous distribution pattern may no longer be as relevant due to the market's strong recovery.

Sell after the distribution count increases to one less than the full distribution count.
S4: Full Distribution
Sell after reaching the full distribution count.
S5: Break Below EMA21
Sell if the index closes 0.2% or more below the EMA21. Note: Once you have an S5, S6, or S7, you can't have another until it is reset by a B3.
S6: Overdue Break Below EMA21
Sell if the index closes down 0.2% or more below the EMA21 after 30 days have passed since the last B3 without triggering an S5.
S7: Trending Below EMA21
Sell after S5 on the 5th consecutive day that the high is below the EMA21 and a down day.
S8: Living Below EMA21
Sell after S5 on the 10th and every 5th consecutive day after that (15th, 20th, 25th, etc.) that the high is below the EMA21.
S9: Break Below 50-Day MA
Sell if the index closes below the 50-Day Moving Average. Triggers only if a B6 signal was previously printed.

Trading Wisdom - Market Risk Management
"The key to successful trading is not just knowing when to enter, but managing your exposure based on market health. Always check two critical indicators before any trade:
1. Market Exposure Levels
100% (5 dots): Full positions in strong market
90% (4 dots): Slightly reduced positions
75% (3 dots): Moderate positions, more cautious
55% (2 dots): Half positions only
30% (1 dot): Small positions only
0% (0 dots): Stay in cash
2. Distribution Days Risk Levels
1-2 Days: Normal market behavior
3 Days: Caution - reduce new positions
4+ Days: High risk - defensive positioning
5-6 Days: Consider moving to cash
Remember: It's better to miss an opportunity than to catch a falling market. Let the Market Exposure Table be your guide to smart position sizing."
Pro Tip: Make checking these two indicators part of your daily routine. They're your first line of defense against major drawdowns.

"The goal is not to be right about the market - it's to make money by following the market's signals and managing risk."
FVG Chain (Consecutive Fair Value Gaps / Imbalances)This indicator detects fair value gaps that are created out of the touch of older fair value gaps, hence creating an "FVG chain".
It counts +1 for the chain whenever a new price leg's FVG is touched.
You can use the current FVG Chain count, as well as the high, low, and price leg high/low of the current FVG as input source in external indicators. Check the data window to see the plot values.
How FVGs are detected:
Bullish: The low of the current confirmed bar is above the high of 2 bars back.
Bearish: The high of the current confirmed bar is below the low of 2 bars back.
A bullish FVG chain is broken if:
The current FVG's price leg low is broken.
The previous bar closed below the FVG, and the current confirmed bar closed below the previous bar.
A bearish FVG chain is broken if:
The current FVG's price leg high is broken.
The previous bar closed above the FVG, and the current confirmed bar closed above the previous bar.
James Gordon StrategyThis strategy is designed to identify potential bullish “bounce” points off a long-term moving average, specifically the 200-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA), on a 4-hour chart. The logic behind the strategy assumes that when price action interacts with this key support level and then closes above it, buyers are showing renewed interest and strength at that price level.
How It Works:
1. Focus on the 200 EMA:
The 200 EMA is often considered a long-term trend indicator. Price trading above the 200 EMA generally suggests an uptrend, while price trading below it suggests a downtrend. By targeting bounces on this EMA, the strategy looks for moments when price is demonstrating a willingness to hold or reclaim a pivotal support level.
2. Bounce Condition:
A “bounce” is defined by two key criteria:
- Test of Support: During the chosen candle (4-hour timeframe), the low price of the candle reaches the 200 EMA or dips just below it, indicating the market is testing that support zone.
- Close Above the EMA: By the end of that same candle, the price closes above the 200 EMA, signaling that buyers stepped in and defended that level.
3. Why This Matters:
When a candle’s low touches or moves below an important moving average, it might appear that the price could break down further. However, if the candle still manages to close above this moving average, it indicates resilience and potential bullish momentum. This can be an early sign of a price rebound, potentially offering a trading opportunity for those looking to go long.
4. Practical Use:
- Entry Signals: Traders may use these bounce signals to time entries, betting on the idea that price could move higher now that key support has held.
- Stop Placement and Risk Management: Traders can define their risk by placing stops just below the recent low or slightly under the 200 EMA.
- Market Context: To maximize its usefulness, traders should combine the bounce condition with other indicators, market structure analysis, and fundamental insights.
Traders should consider the overall trend, momentum indicators, volume profiles, or macro events to increase confidence in the signal.
In essence, the strategy aims to highlight moments when price action “bounces” off a crucial support level, potentially signaling a favorable entry point for bullish trades.

Enigma End Game Indicator
Enigma End Game Indicator Description
The Enigma End Game indicator is a powerful tool designed to enhance the way traders approach support and resistance, combining mainstream technical analysis with a unique, dynamic perspective. At its core, this indicator enables traders to adapt to market conditions in real time by applying a blend of classic and modern interpretations of support and resistance levels.
In traditional support and resistance analysis, we recognize the significant price points where the market has historically reversed or consolidated. However, the *Enigma End Game* indicator takes this one step further by analyzing each individual candle's high as a potential resistance level and each low as support. This allows the trader to stay more agile, as the market constantly updates and evolves. The dynamic nature of this method acknowledges that price movements are fractal in nature, meaning that these levels are not static but adjust in response to price action on multiple timeframes.
### How It Works:
When using the *Enigma End Game* indicator, it doesn't simply plot buy and sell signals automatically. Instead, the indicator highlights key levels based on the interaction between price and historical price action. Here's how it operates:
1. **Buy Logic:**
The indicator identifies bullish signals based on the *Enigma* logic, but it does not trigger an immediate buy. Instead, it plots arrows above or below the candles, indicating the key price levels where price action has shifted. Traders then focus on these areas, particularly looking for buy opportunities *below* these levels during key market sessions (such as London or New York) while aligning with both mainstream support and resistance and *Enigma* levels.
2. **Sell Logic:**
Similarly, when the indicator identifies a sell signal, it plots an arrow above the candle where price action has reversed. This does not immediately suggest selling. Traders wait for a price retracement back to the previously breached low (for a sell order) or high (for a buy order), observing price action closely on lower timeframes (such as the 1-minute chart) to refine entry points. The entry is triggered when price starts to show signs of reversing at these levels, further validated by mainstream and *Enigma* support/resistance.
### Practical Example – XAU/USD (Gold):
For instance, in the settings of the *Enigma End Game* indicator, if we select the 5-minute (5MN) timeframe as the key level, the indicator will only plot the first 3 arrows following the *Enigma* logic. The arrows will appear above or below the candle that was breached, indicating a potential trend reversal. In this scenario, the first arrow marks the point where price broke a significant support or resistance level. Afterward, the trader watches for a subsequent candle to close below (in the case of a sell) the previous candle’s low, confirming a bearish bias.
Now, the trader does not rush into a sell order. Instead, they wait for the price to pull back towards the previously breached low. At this point, the trader can use a lower timeframe (like the 1-minute chart) to identify both mainstream support and resistance levels and *Enigma* levels above the main 5-minute key level. These additional levels provide a clearer understanding of where price might reverse and give the trader a stronger edge in refining their entry point.
The trader then sets a sell order *above* the price level of the previous low, but only once signs show that price is retracing and ready to fall again. The price point where this retracement occurs, confirmed by both mainstream and *Enigma* levels, becomes the entry signal for the trade.
### Summary:
The *Enigma End Game* indicator combines time-tested principles of support and resistance with a more modern, adaptive view, empowering traders to read the market with greater precision. It guides you to wait for optimal entries, based on dynamic support and resistance levels that change with each price movement. By combining signals on higher timeframes with refined entries on lower timeframes, traders gain a unique advantage in navigating both obvious and hidden levels of support and resistance, ultimately improving their ability to time trades with higher probability of success.
This indicator allows for a more calculated, strategic approach to trading—highlighting the right moments to enter the market while providing the flexibility to adjust to different market conditions.
The *ENIGMA Signals with Retests* indicator is a versatile trading tool that combines key market sessions with dynamic support and resistance levels. It uses logic to identify potential buy and sell signals based on the behavior of recent price swings (highs and lows) and offers flexibility with the number of arrows plotted per session. The user can customize settings like arrow frequency, line styles, and session times, allowing for personalized trading strategies.
The indicator detects buy and sell signals by checking if the price breaks the previous swing high (for buy signals) or swing low (for sell signals). It then stores these levels and draws horizontal lines on the chart, representing critical price levels where traders can expect potential price reactions.
A key feature of this indicator is its ability to limit the number of arrows per session, ensuring a cleaner chart and reducing signal clutter. Horizontal lines are drawn at the identified buy or sell levels, with the option to display labels like "BUY - AT OR BELOW" and "SELL - AT OR ABOVE" to further clarify entry points.
The indicator also incorporates session filtering, allowing traders to focus on specific market sessions (Asia, London, and New York) for more relevant signals, and it ensures that no more than a user-defined number of arrows are plotted within a session.
Weekly Bottom Finder 1.0A Tool for Identifying Market Bottoms
The Weekly Bottom Finder indicator is designed for in-depth market analysis on weekly timeframes. Utilizing innovative methodology, it allows traders to identify potential zones of market bottoms, which often mark the beginning of new bullish trends. This indicator combines multiple advanced algorithms working in unison to deliver accurate and reliable signals.
What Makes Weekly Bottom Finder Unique?
Comprehensive Approach
The indicator integrates several analytical techniques, including:
Volume Analysis: Evaluates market activity to highlight significant interest.
Money Flow Index (MFI): Detects overbought and oversold zones.
ATR (Average True Range): Accounts for market volatility.
Advanced Internal Algorithms: Measures trend strength and consistency.
Accurate Bottom Detection
Signals are only generated when all conditions confirm a potential market bottom. This minimizes false signals that are common with many other indicators.
Visualization
Potential market bottom zones are displayed as light green vertical lines, making signals easy to identify without cluttering the chart.
Adaptability
Weekly Bottom Finder automatically adjusts to market conditions, considering volume, volatility, and market dynamics, making it a versatile tool for different markets and scenarios.
Key Features
Parameter Synchronization
The indicator uses finely tuned thresholds for trend analysis, effectively filtering out short-term market noise.
Balanced Settings
Users can adjust the "Bottom Sensitivity" parameter to customize the indicator to their needs, providing either more or fewer signals based on their trading strategy.
Weekly Timeframe
Specifically designed for long-term analysis on weekly candles, the indicator performs effectively across various markets, including cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, traditional stock markets, and forex trading. It's worth testing the indicator's performance on different exchanges for the same cryptocurrency. Price movements can vary slightly between exchanges, resulting in a different number of signals.
Volume Filters
An additional volume filter ensures that signals are generated only in zones where the market exhibits genuine participant interest.
How Does Weekly Bottom Finder Work?
Calculating Bottom Zones
The indicator identifies potential bottoms when prices are in oversold zones (low MFI) and the market shows high volume, indicating buyer interest.
Double Signal Verification
Each signal is filtered through a system of rules, including ATR and volume analysis, to avoid false positives.
Additional Information
Weekly Bottom Finder helps traders pinpoint key moments when the market may be reaching its lowest points, creating potential entry opportunities. However, it does not provide guarantees and serves only as a supplementary tool for deeper market understanding.
Please Note: Weekly Bottom Finder is an analytical tool that should be used alongside your own research and risk management strategies.
HTF Candles Overlay [Trendoscope®]🎲 HTF Candles Overlay is a simple indicator where you can overlay higher timeframe candles on current timeframe chart.
Most of the code is encapsulated in the library HTFCandlesLib . After publishing the library as open source, many people requested to convert that into an indicator. Based on this, we decided to publish this small code for the use of community.
🎯 Usage
The indicator is simple, it helps users visualise higher timeframe candles. We majorly use this for debugging or validating our implementations based on higher timeframe. Instead of switching back and forth to different timeframes, it helps us visualise higher timeframe candles on the same chart when we are validating the implementation that involves higher timeframe calculations.
🎯 Components
The indicator provides two types of displays
Candles - overlay candles built through lines and labels
Plot - close price of higher timeframe plotted on chart
🎯 Candles
The behaviour of the candles are similar to that of hollow candles. The color of the body and the border+wick demonstrates the movement of the candle.
Body color is lime if the HTF close is higher than HTF open. Body color is orange if the HTF close is lower than the HTF open.
Wick and border color is lime if HTF close price is higher than previous HTF close price. And they are orange if HTF close price is lower than the previous HTF close price
In most cases body color will be same as the wick color. In case of stocks and indices, it may happen that the open price is too far away from previous close price due to gaps. This can lead to close price being relatively in different direction when compared to open and previous close.
Wicks are not at the centre of the candle. Instead wicks are drawn on the current chart timeframe position where the current timeframe has reached the highest or lowest point within the given HTF candle
Candles also list OHLC price of HTF candle along with HTF bar index and the range of LTF bar index that the candle spawns
Here are some pictorial representations that can help understand better.
Here are the examples of candles with gaps where body and wick/border are in different directions (colours)
🎯 Indicator Settings
Simple settings allow users to select the timeframe, whether to display candles and plots and their specific colors.
🎯 Possible inconsistencies
The overlay can show inconsistent data in certain situations. Here are some of the scenarios where the indicator may not show consistent display of the data.
When the HTF data from request.security does not match that of combined LTF data . In such cases, HTF candles may not form inline with the current timeframe candles. This happens when there is a data issue of different OHLC data available in tradingview.
When using weekly candle as either chart timeframe or higher timeframe - end of week may not coincide with end of month or other timeframes. This can cause some inconsistencies in the visuals of the indicator.
When open and close time of either LTF or HTF falls under different day due to time zone used. - time is always the time on which the candle close. So, when we use time zone that causes the exchange day to open and close on different days, that can cause some inconsistencies in the candles being drawn.
Daily Single Trade [SMRT Algo]The Daily Single Trade Indicator by SMRT Algo is a powerful yet simple tool designed for traders who value precision, discipline, and a focus on high-quality trade setups. With a unique approach, this indicator identifies just one signal daily, making it ideal for traders who prefer a structured and stress-free trading routine.
Please note that this indicator only works for timeframes below 1H.
Key Features:
Market Open & Pre-Market Analysis: The indicator focuses on the market’s opening range and identifies breakout opportunities based on price action during these critical periods.
Customizable Risk-Reward Ratio: Plan your trades with precision by setting your desired RR, ensuring that your take-profit (TP) levels are multiples of your stop-loss (SL). Stop loss is not shown with this indicator.
Price Offset for SL: Add a customizable buffer to your SL and TP levels. This offset accounts for market volatility, reducing the chances of premature stop-outs while maintaining alignment with your trading plan.
Increasing this value will lead to a greater invisible stop loss, which will increase the TP size. The opposite is occurs when decreasing this value (less than 0). If you set it as 2.5 for example for TSLA: price is 340 and SL is 330 for example, SL becomes 327.5. This calculation will then be applied to calculate the TP.
In simple terms, if the offset is positive, SL becomes larger, TP becomes larger as well.
Exit Point Visibility: Display exit points on your chart to better visualize trade targets and stop levels.
Adjustable Market Open Time: Easily modify the market open hour and minute to suit your asset’s trading session. For example, U.S. stock traders can set the market open time to 9:30 AM EST (UTC-5).
By providing a single signal each day, the indicator minimizes overtrading and keeps your focus on the best opportunities.
With predefined SL, TP, and RR settings, the indicator fosters disciplined trading, reducing the influence of emotional decision-making. Whether you’re trading stocks, indices, or forex, the customizable market open time and RR ratio make this indicator versatile and adaptable.
The combination of precise SL and TP calculations with offset pip adjustments helps protect your trades from market noise while maintaining a favorable RR.
Perfect for those who can’t monitor markets all day, the single-signal approach allows you to execute a high-quality trade and move on with your day.
How to Use:
Set the Market Open Time: Adjust the open time to align with your asset’s session. For example, set 9:30 AM EST for U.S. stocks.
Define Your Risk-Reward Ratio: Choose an RR multiple (e.g., 1:2 or 1:3) that aligns with your risk tolerance and trading goals.
Apply Pip Offset: Add a buffer to your SL and TP to account for market volatility and reduce false stops.
The Daily Single Trade Indicator simplifies trading by focusing on one high-probability setup per day. It’s perfect for traders looking to maintain consistency, improve risk management, and reduce the stress of overanalyzing the markets.
How Alerts Work:
Individual Alerts: Set separate notifications for specific actions, such as breakout signals, take-profit levels, or stop-loss activations.
Master Alert: Manage all notifications with one streamlined setting, ensuring you never miss an opportunity while keeping your setup simple and efficient.
Take control of your trading with a strategy built for clarity, precision, and success!
SiCInside Sweep Close (ISC):
This concept captures a specific price action behavior and can help refine trading strategies for better precision. Here's a detailed explanation:
Inside:
The closing price of the candle stays within the range of the previous candle.
This indicates a containment of price action, suggesting indecision or preparation for a significant move.
Sweep:
The wick of the candle takes out (or "sweeps") the low (or high) of the previous candle.
This sweep can trigger stop-losses of retail traders or activate pending orders, often used by smart money strategies.
Close:
The candle ultimately closes inside the range of the previous candle.
This close signifies that the sweep was a liquidity grab rather than a genuine breakout, providing an actionable trading signal.
How ISC Can Be Used in Trading:
Liquidity Grab Recognition:
ISC can indicate when liquidity is swept from the market, making it an ideal entry point for traders anticipating a reversal or continuation.
Smart Money Concept (SMC) Synergy:
If you follow SMC principles, ISC aligns with key concepts like liquidity sweeps, order blocks, and mitigation zones.
Risk Management:
By identifying the ISC setup, you can place tighter stop-loss levels just outside the sweep, optimizing risk-reward ratios.
Entry Signals:
When you spot an ISC, you can enter trades at the close of the candle, anticipating a move in the direction opposite to the sweep.
Example of ISC in Action:
Imagine a bearish candle:
The wick sweeps the low of the previous candle, possibly triggering stop-losses.
However, the close stays inside the previous candle’s range.
This setup might indicate a reversal, where price moves upward after grabbing liquidity.
Why This Name Works:
It’s concise, professional, and directly linked to the trading action you’re describing.
The short form, ISC, is easy to remember and discuss within trading circles or while teaching others.
It ties into widely known concepts like smart money, price action, and liquidity sweeps, making it relatable yet unique.
Does this align with how you envision using the concept? Let me know if you’d like more refinements or visual examples!
Newday_smaThis algorithm is based on SMA (Simple Moving Average) to identify price trends, detecting "positive price zones" (where the price is above the SMA) and "negative price zones" (where the price is below the SMA), and then connecting turning points within those zones with lines.
Key Steps:
SMA Period Selection: The user can select the SMA period to be 5, 10, or 20.
SMA Calculation: The SMA of the current price is calculated based on the selected period.
Identify Positive and Negative Price Zones:
Positive Price Zone: When the closing price is higher than the SMA, it’s considered a positive price zone.
Negative Price Zone: When the closing price is lower than the SMA, it’s considered a negative price zone.
Identify Turning Points:
In the positive price zone, if the current closing price falls below the SMA, a potential turning point is detected, and the algorithm looks for the lowest point (the lowest high in that zone).
In the negative price zone, if the current closing price rises above the SMA, a potential turning point is detected, and the algorithm looks for the highest point (the highest low in that zone).
Connect the Turning Points:
When transitioning from the negative price zone to the positive price zone, a line is drawn from the lowest point of the negative zone to the highest point of the positive zone.
When transitioning from the positive price zone to the negative price zone, a line is drawn from the highest point of the positive zone to the lowest point of the negative zone.
Dynamic Updates: As new candles form, the algorithm continuously updates the turning points and draws the lines accordingly.
Key Features:
Flexible SMA Period Selection: The user can choose from different SMA periods (5, 10, or 20).
Dynamic Turning Point Recognition: The algorithm dynamically identifies turning points based on the relationship between the price and the SMA, marking fluctuations in price.
Connecting Turning Points: The algorithm connects the key points in positive and negative price zones with lines to help identify price trends.
Use Cases:
This algorithm is useful for technical analysis, especially for short-term trading.
It helps identify support and resistance levels, assisting users in making buy and sell decisions.
No Wick Setup Indicator
**No Wick Setup Indicator**
This is a custom trading indicator designed to identify and signal potential buy and sell opportunities based on candlestick patterns with no wicks. Specifically, it looks for candles with no wicks at the bottom (bullish setup) or no wicks at the top (bearish setup). Here's how it works:
**Key Features:**
- **Bullish Setup**: A green candlestick with no bottom wick (i.e., the open price is equal to the low price of the candle) is considered a potential bullish signal. A trendline is drawn at the bottom of this candle. When the market price returns to this trendline, a buy signal is generated.
- **Bearish Setup**: A red candlestick with no top wick (i.e., the open price is equal to the high price of the candle) is considered a potential bearish signal. A trendline is drawn at the top of this candle. When the market price returns to this trendline, a sell signal is generated.
- **Timeframe**: This indicator works exclusively on the **30-minute timeframe**.
**How It Works:**
1. When a candlestick pattern with no bottom wick (bullish setup) is identified, a trendline is drawn at the low of the candlestick.
2. When a candlestick pattern with no top wick (bearish setup) is identified, a trendline is drawn at the high of the candlestick.
3. The indicator then tracks the market price and waits for it to return to the respective trendline level.
4. **Buy Signal**: When the market price touches or goes below the bullish trendline, a **Buy** signal is displayed on the chart with an upward arrow.
5. **Sell Signal**: When the market price touches or goes above the bearish trendline, a **Sell** signal is displayed on the chart with a downward arrow.
**Visual Elements:**
- **Trendlines**: Horizontal lines drawn at the bottom (bullish) or top (bearish) of the candlesticks with no wick.
- **Buy/Sell Labels**: Labels indicating "Buy" or "Sell" appear when the market price returns to the trendline.
**Why Use This Indicator?**
- This indicator helps identify specific price levels where the market might reverse or consolidate based on candlestick structure, offering potential entry points for trades.
- It allows traders to focus on price action and market behavior without relying on more complex indicators.
