Candlestick analysis
SNP420/INDI/support_resist_future_levelFunctionality – short description
The indicator automatically detects the latest pivot highs/lows and builds the current resistance and support levels from them. New levels start as candidate levels (dotted lines).
Using an ATR-based tolerance, it counts how many times price precisely tests and rejects the level (touch + reversal).
Once the minimum number of touches is reached, the level is marked as validated (solid line). The indicator also detects breakouts of S/R, colors breakout candles, projects a target level after the breakout, and highlights retests of the broken levels with boxes.

2. MULTI-TIMEFRAME CANDLE DISPLAY - Shows up to 8 higher timeframes simultaneously on your chart (15m, 30m, 1H, 4H, 1D, 1W, 1M, 3M)
════════════════════════════════════════════
🎯 KEY FEATURES
════════════════════════════════════════════
TRADING SESSIONS MODULE:
✓ Track up to 6 custom trading sessions simultaneously
✓ Real-time high/low range detection during active sessions
✓ Pre-configured for NYO (7-9am), LNO (2-3am), Asian Session (4:30pm-12am)
✓ 60+ global timezone options
✓ Customizable colors, labels, and transparency
✓ Daily divider lines (optional Sunday skip for traditional markets)

════════════════════════════════════════════
🔧 HOW IT WORKS
════════════════════════════════════════════
TECHNICAL IMPLEMENTATION:
Session Tracking Algorithm:
• Detects session start/end using time() function with timezone support
• Continuously monitors and updates high/low during active session
• Finalizes range when session ends using var persistence
• Draws boxes using real-time bar_index positioning
• Maintains session ranges across multiple days for reference
Multi-Timeframe System:
• Uses ta.change(time()) detection to identify new MTF candle formation
• Constructs candles using custom Type definitions (Candle, CandleSet, Config)
• Stores OHLC data in arrays with automatic size management
• Renders using box objects (bodies) and line objects (wicks)
• Updates current candle every tick; historical candles remain static
• Calculates dynamic positioning based on user settings (offset, spacing, width)
Object-Oriented Architecture:
• Custom Type "Candle" - Stores OHLC values, timestamps, visual elements
• Custom Type "CandleSet" - Manages arrays of candles + settings per timeframe
• Custom Type "Config" - Centralizes all display configuration
• Efficient memory management via unshift() for new candles, pop() for old
Performance Optimizations:
• var declarations minimize recalculation overhead
• Conditional execution (sessions only on short timeframes)
• Maximum display limits prevent excessive object creation
• Timeframe validation at barstate.isfirst reduces redundant checks
════════════════════════════════════════════
📈 HOW TO USE
════════════════════════════════════════════
SETUP:
1. Add indicator to chart (works best on 1m-30m timeframes)
2. Open Settings → "Trading Sessions" group
- Enable desired sessions (NYO, LNO, AS, or custom)
- Select your timezone from 60+ options
- Adjust colors and transparency
3. Open Settings → "Multi-TF Candles" group
- Enable timeframes (TF1-TF8)
- Configure each timeframe and display count
- Customize colors and layout
READING THE CHART:
• Session boxes show high/low ranges during active sessions
• MTF candles display to the right of current price
• Labels identify each timeframe (15m, 1H, 4H, etc.)
• Real-time updates on the most recent MTF candle
TRADING APPLICATIONS:
Session Breakout Strategy:
→ Identify session high/low (e.g., Asian session 16:30-00:00)
→ Wait for break above/below range
→ Confirm with higher timeframe candle close
→ Enter in breakout direction, stop at opposite side of range
Multi-Timeframe Confirmation:
→ Spot setup on primary chart (e.g., 5m)
→ Verify 15m, 1H, 4H candles align with trade direction
→ Only take trades where higher TFs confirm
→ Exit when higher TF candles show reversal
Combined Session + MTF:
→ Asian session establishes range overnight
→ London Open breaks Asian high
→ Confirm with bullish 15m + 1H candles
→ Enter long with stop below Asian high
════════════════════════════════════════════
🎨 ORIGINALITY & INNOVATION
════════════════════════════════════════════
What makes this indicator original:
1. INTEGRATED DUAL-MODULE DESIGN
Unlike separate session or MTF indicators, this combines both in a single performance-optimized script, enabling powerful correlation analysis between session behavior and timeframe structure.
2. ADVANCED RENDERING SYSTEM
Uses custom Pine Script v5 Types with dynamic box/line object management instead of basic plot functions. This enables:
• Precise visual control over positioning and spacing
• Real-time updates without repainting
• Efficient memory handling via automatic cleanup
• Support for 8 simultaneous timeframes with independent settings
3. INTELLIGENT SESSION TRACKING
The algorithm continuously recalculates ranges bar-by-bar during active sessions, then preserves the final range. This differs from static zone indicators that simply draw fixed boxes at predefined levels.
4. MODULAR ARCHITECTURE
Custom Type definitions (Candle, CandleSet, Config) create extensible, maintainable code structure while supporting complex multi-timeframe operations with minimal performance impact.
5. PROFESSIONAL FLEXIBILITY
Extensive customization: 6 configurable sessions, 8 timeframe slots, 60+ timezones, granular color/sizing/spacing controls, multiple label positioning modes—adaptable to any market or trading style.
6. SMART VISUAL DESIGN
Automatic timeframe validation, dynamic label alignment options, and intelligent spacing calculations ensure clarity even with multiple timeframes displayed simultaneously.

Smart MACD Divergence ScannerOriginal Base Indicator: "CM_MacD_Ult_MTF" by ChrisMoody
This indicator builds upon ChrisMoody's excellent multi-timeframe MACD foundation and transforms it into a professional divergence scanner with advanced quality assessment and filtering capabilities. The original MACD visualization and MTF functionality have been preserved while adding completely new divergence detection, scoring, and filtering systems.
🎯 What Makes This Indicator Unique:
Smart MACD Divergence Scanner is a professional tool for detecting MACD-based divergences with an advanced filtering system and signal quality assessment. Unlike standard divergence indicators, this version includes innovative features:
Adaptive Quality Scoring System — each signal receives a score from 0 to 100 based on multiple factors
Volatility Filter — automatic signal suppression during low market volatility periods
Multi-Timeframe Confirmation — divergence verification on higher timeframe for increased reliability
Divergence Strength Analysis — calculation of percentage difference between price and indicator movement
Information Dashboard — detailed real-time signal statistics
Cooldown System — prevention of multiple consecutive signals
💡 How It Works:
The indicator uses the classic divergence concept — the divergence between price movement and the MACD oscillator. However, instead of simple pivot detection, the algorithm:
Scans the market for local extremes (pivots) on price and MACD histogram
Searches for divergences — when price updates low/high while MACD shows opposite movement
Assesses quality — analyzes divergence strength, volatility, higher timeframe confirmation
Filters noise — eliminates weak signals through threshold system and cooldown
Generates signal — only when all quality criteria are met
🔧 Key Parameters:
MACD Settings: Fast Length (12), Slow Length (26), Signal Length (9)
Divergence Detection: Pivot Lookback (5), Max Lookback Range (60), Min Divergence Strength (15%)
Quality Filters: Min Quality Score (60), Volatility Filter, MTF Confirmation, Signal Cooldown (5)
📊 How to Use:
Add indicator to chart — it will automatically start scanning
Configure filters — start with default settings, then adapt to your trading style
Watch for signals: 🟢 Green "BUY" label = bullish divergence, 🔴 Red "SELL" label = bearish divergence
Check quality score on labels (Q: XX)
Use information panel to monitor statistics and current market conditions
⚙️ Settings Guide:
For swing trading (4H-Daily): Increase Pivot Lookback to 7-10, set Min Quality Score to 70+
For day trading (15m-1H): Keep default settings, enable all filters
For scalping (1m-5m): Decrease Min Quality Score to 50, disable MTF Confirmation
For volatile markets (crypto): Increase Min Divergence Strength to 20-25%, enable Volatility Filter
⚠️ Important Notes:
Divergences are probabilistic signals, not guaranteed reversals
Use additional confirmation (support/resistance levels, volume, price action)
Adjust parameters for specific asset and timeframe
Signals appear with Pivot Lookback bars delay (retrospective confirmation)
On volatile markets, increase Min Quality Score to reduce false signals
Perfect Opens Perfect BoxesThis approach combines two methods of chart denoising:
1. The underlying chart uses the previous close as the open price for the next candle, which makes candlestick patterns easier to read.
2. The overlay reduces the visual noise of a line chart by representing the price range over a given interval as a box; the “wicks” on this chart are purely cosmetic, indicating that closing prices lay outside the range of the previous interval.

Price Channel ScalpingMy X account:@CTF_bule_lotus
1. Core Logic (Price Channel Breakout)
The strategy relies on a single, simple indicator: the highest high of the past 20 bars.
When the current price breaks above this 20-period high, a stop entry is used to initiate a long position.
This design avoids prediction.
The model waits for the market to demonstrate momentum before participating.
2. Trade Direction (Long Only)
The strategy exclusively trades long positions and does not take shorts.
This choice is based on:
ETH’s historically upward-biased structure
Avoiding noise from two-sided signals during high-volatility periods
Keeping the direction consistent, which is beneficial for scalping-style systems
3. Risk Management (Fixed TP / SL)
Immediately after entry, the strategy sets two fixed exit conditions:
Take Profit: +10 price units
Stop Loss: –10 price units
Both are automatically converted using the market’s minimum tick size to ensure cross-instrument applicability.
This fixed TP/SL structure is typical in scalping systems:
small wins, fast exits, controlled losses, high turnover.
4. Transaction Costs
A 0.03% fee is applied to every trade throughout the entire backtest.
This fee level reflects the cost structure of major centralized exchanges, making results closer to real-world conditions.
5. Data & Time Range (2016–2025 Full Sample)
The backtest uses ETH’s complete historical dataset from 2016 to 2025.
No subjective filtering is applied—large moves, flash crashes, and black-swan events are all included.
The strategy does not rely on heavy parameter tuning, reducing the risk of overfitting.
6. Backtest Results (Including Fees)
Under this fixed, rule-based structure, the cumulative return is:
1,202,002.77% (2016 → 2025)
Even after including transaction fees, performance is driven by:
High trade frequency and small profit targets
Strict loss containment
Capturing momentum during breakout regimes
7. Transparency & Reproducibility
I will publish the full Pine Script implementation, including:
Entry logic
Exit logic
Fee configuration
All parameters
Backtesting framework
Transparency and reproducibility remain the core principles of this research.

BTC BRD – Bullet-Proof Reversal StrategyBTC BRD – Bullet-Proof Reversal Strategy is a price-action based reversal system that turns your existing “Bullet-Proof Reversal Detector” into a fully backtestable TradingView strategy with built-in risk management. It is designed to catch clean swing reversals using pure market structure, then automatically place stop-loss and take-profit orders based on your preferred risk-reward settings.
## Core concept
The strategy identifies true swing highs and lows using pivots and then waits for a clear market structure shift before entering any trade. It looks for a higher low followed by a break of structure for longs, and a lower high followed by a break of structure for shorts, helping filter out many random spikes and fakeouts. This makes it suitable for traders who prefer clean, rule-based entries grounded in market structure rather than noisy, indicator-heavy setups.
## Entries and exits
- Long trades are triggered after a bullish higher-low plus a confirmed break above the last swing high.
- Short trades are triggered after a bearish lower-high plus a confirmed break below the last swing low.
- Every position is protected with an automatic stop-loss and a calculated take-profit, so each trade has a predefined risk and reward from the moment it is opened.
## Risk management
The strategy lets you control your risk with a configurable risk-reward ratio (RR) and flexible stop-loss options. You can choose between an ATR-based stop (ATR × multiplier) or a fixed percentage stop relative to the entry price. Once the stop distance is known, the take-profit level is automatically derived from your RR value, making trade sizing and evaluation more consistent across different pairs and timeframes.
## Use cases and recommendations
This script is ideal for swing and intraday traders who want to systematically test market-structure reversals on assets like Bitcoin or other volatile instruments. For best results, experiment with different timeframes and ATR/percentage settings, and always validate performance using the Strategy Tester before deploying it on live markets. Remember that no strategy is guaranteed to be profitable, so use proper risk management and adapt settings to your own style and risk tolerance.
Bullish and Bearish Engulfing (Strength & Trend)This is the final indicator that will show all the “Bullish Engulfing” and “Bearish Engulfing” price action patterns on the chart.
There are several indicators that show this type of chart pattern, but this will show you on the chart all the types of engulfing that may exist and differentiated by type (or strength).
I have classified 4 types of patterns for strength.
Those of strength 1 represent patterns that only incorporate the body of the previous candle, and therefore represent a "base" signal.
Those of strength 2 represent patterns that have the close beyond the shadow, but with an open equal to the previous close.
Those of strength 3 represent patterns that open beyond the previous close.
Those of strength 4 represent patterns in which the body of the candle completely encompasses the previous candle.
Trend Filter
For a better experience I have also added a trend filter via an exponential moving average adjustable from the settings.
So if activated, patterns will only appear if the candle is completely above the moving average.
The indicator is completed by alerts that can be activated either via the "any alert function" in which you will receive any alert, or you can choose whether to receive only bullish ones or only bearish ones.

Heikin Ashi Croce - MinimalHeikin Ashi Doji Marker – Minimal Version (Numeric Parameters)
This indicator identifies potential Heikin Ashi doji candles and marks them with a small triangle above the candle.
Numeric criteria used to detect a doji:
Body size: up to 60% of the total candle range
Upper wick: at least 15% of the total candle range
Lower wick: at least 15% of the total candle range
Wick balance: the ratio of upper wick to lower wick between 0.5 and 2
Purpose:
The indicator highlights visually evident doji candles while leaving the final decision to the trader’s discretion. It is non-restrictive, allowing traders to filter signals based on context, trend, and pullbacks.
SuperTrend Zone Rejection [STRZ] CONCEPT -
This indicator identifies trend-continuation setups by combining the Super Trend with dynamic Average True Range (ATR) value zones. It highlights specific price action behaviour's—specifically wick rejections and momentum closes—that occur during pullbacks into the trend baseline.
HOW IT WORKS -
The script operates on three logic gates:
>> Trend Filter: Uses a standard Super Trend (Factor 3, Period 10 default) to define market direction.
>> Dynamic Zones: Projects a volatility-based zone (default 2.0x ATR) above or below the Super Trend line to define a valid pullback area.
>> Signal Detection: Identifies specific candle geometries occurring within these zones.
>> Rejection: Candles with significant wicks testing the zone support/resistance.
>> Momentum: Candles that open within the zone and close in the upper/lower quartile of their range.
FEATURES -
>> Dynamic Channel: Visualizes the active buy/sell zone using a continuous, non-repainting box.
>> Volatile Filtering: Filters out low-volatility candles (doji's/noise) based on minimum ATR size.
>> Visuals: Color-coded trend visualization with distinct signal markers for qualified entries.
SETTINGS -
>> Super Trend: Adjustable Factor and ATR Period.
>> Zone Multiplier: Controls the width of the pullback zone relative to ATR.
>> Visuals: Customizable colours for zones and signals to fit light/dark themes.

TheStrat Failed 2 + 2 Continuation FTFC AlignmentTheStrat “Failed 2 + FTFC Alignment” spots a specific reversal/continuation pattern and layers on higher-timeframe confirmation so newer traders can focus on clean, high-probability setups.
WHAT IT LOOKS FOR
- A Failed 2 bar (price breaks the prior high/low but closes back through its open).
• Failed 2D (bullish): price takes out the previous low but finishes green.
• Failed 2U (bearish): price takes out the previous high but finishes red.
- The very next bar must be a true “2” continuation in the opposite direction (2U after a Failed 2D or 2D after a Failed 2U). This is the classic “2-2 reversal/continuation” from TheStrat playbook.
WHY IT MATTERS
When a failed 2 immediately resolves into a clean 2, it signals that buyers or sellers have seized control. These moves often become momentum pushes, especially if the broader timeframes agree.
HIGHER-TIMEFRAME FILTER
- Checks Monthly, Weekly, and 3-Day opens in real time.
- Bull signals only pass when all three are above their opens (full timeframe continuity up).
- Bear signals only pass when all three are below their opens (full timeframe continuity down).
WHAT YOU GET
- Optional labels that mark Failed 2 bars and the confirmed 2-2 signals.
- A compact “FTFC” icon on the exact bar where the continuation qualifies.
- Toggleable intrabar and bar-close alerts (select “Any alert() function call” for real-time alerts).
- A mini panel showing Monthly/Weekly/3-Day arrows so you can verify FTFC at a glance.
- Settings to require the continuation candle to be the same color as the failed bar for extra confirmation.
HOW TO USE
1. Add the script to your chart and confirm the panel arrows are aligned when icons appear.
2. Turn on the bar-close alert conditions for confirmed signals, or enable intrabar alerts for early warnings.
3. Combine the signal with your entry/stop rules (e.g., trigger on break of the signal bar and use the prior swing for risk).
This script serves as training wheels for traders learning TheStrat by automatically filtering for high-quality Failed-2 → 2 reversals that align across multiple timeframes.
EMA 12-26-100 Momentum Strategy# Triple EMA Multi-Signal Momentum Strategy
## 📊 Overview
**Triple EMA Multi-Signal** is a comprehensive trend-following momentum strategy designed specifically for cryptocurrency markets. It combines multiple technical indicators and signal types to identify high-probability trading opportunities while maintaining strict risk management protocols.
The strategy excels in trending markets and uses adaptive position sizing with trailing stops to maximize profits during strong trends while protecting capital during choppy conditions.
## 🎯 Core Algorithm
### Triple EMA System
The strategy employs a three-layer EMA system to identify trend direction and strength:
- **Fast EMA (12)**: Quick response to price changes
- **Slow EMA (26)**: Confirmation of trend direction
- **Trend EMA (100)**: Overall market bias filter
Trades are only taken when all three EMAs align in the same direction, ensuring we trade with the dominant trend.
### Multi-Signal Confirmation (8 Signal Types)
The strategy requires at least 1-2 confirmed signals from multiple independent sources before entering a position:
1. **EMA Crossover** - Fast EMA crossing Slow EMA (primary signal)
2. **MACD Cross** - MACD line crossing signal line (momentum confirmation)
3. **RSI Reversal** - RSI bouncing from oversold/overbought zones
4. **Price Action** - Strong bullish/bearish candles (>60% of range)
5. **Volume Spike** - Above-average volume confirmation
6. **Breakout** - Price breaking 20-period high/low with volume
7. **Pullback to EMA** - Trend continuation after healthy retracement
8. **Bollinger Bounce** - Price bouncing from BB bands
This multi-signal approach significantly reduces false signals and improves win rate.
