Time Based Comparison Tool [TFO]The goal of this indicator is to show how multiple assets are trading relative to their Previous Highs and Lows. Many traders have probably seen charts resembling this that may plot how asset prices are trading as a percent change over time, or something similar.
The key difference with this indicator is that all prices are normalized to reflect how they are trading with respect to the previous range of a user-defined timeframe. Without the normalization process, we would simply be observing some percent change from a given point in time; but this does not provide enough information to describe where price is trading relative to our desired frame of reference.
For example, if the timeframe setting was chosen to be 1 day, the indicator would plot the Previous High (PH) and Previous Low (PL) of the current symbol on the daily timeframe, denoted here by the black lines and labels. Then, the adjusted price of all selected symbols would be shown to visualize how each one is moving with respect its own PH and PL, using the current symbol's PH and PL as reference points.
In the above chart, we can see that CL was trading below its PDL from about 10:00-11:00 am EST, then broke above and retested it at around 11:20 am EST, before trading higher. To verify that this comparison works as intended, we can check to see that CL did in fact retest its PDL at this time before trading higher. Note that we are using the close price for this evaluation.
Since limiting the output to close prices can leave out some vital information, we can change the Plot Type setting from "Close" to "High to Low," which will instead show the range of prices from high to low instead of just the close.
We can expand on this by detecting when PH's and PL's have been raided (traded through), by displaying the text PHR (Previous High Raid) or PLR (Previous Low Raid) next to the symbol's label on the right. In this case below, where we're using the 1 week timeframe, we can observe that NQ1! (purple) traded through the PL level and thus its label (right) is updated to indicate a PLR.
Similarly, YM1! traded through its PH level and was updated to indicate a PHR; and ES1! raided both levels, with its label reflecting just that.
Due to the native limitation of output series in a single pine script, alerts have been consolidated to "Any PHR" or "Any PLR," meaning these alerts would fire if any of the selected symbols raided a PH or PL, respectively. If one wanted to be alerted for just a specific symbol, this could be achieved by deselecting all symbols except that which is desired, then setting an alert and adjusting its title for easier user recognition.

Multi VWAP from Gaps [MW]Multi VWAP from Gaps
Introduction
The Multi VWAP from Gaps tool extends the concept of using the Anchored Volume Weighted Average Price, popularized by its founder, Brian Shannon, founder of AlphaTrends. It creates automatic AVWAPS for anchor points originating at the biggest gaps of the week, month, quarter and year. Currently, most standard VWAP tools allow users to place custom anchored VWAPs, but the routine of doing this for every equity being watched can become cumbersome. This tool makes that process multi-times easier. Considering that large gaps can represent a shift in market structure, this tool provides unique and immediate insight into how past daily price gaps can and have affected price action.
Settings
LABEL SETTINGS
Show Biggest Gap of Week | Month | Quarter : Toggle labels that identify the location of the biggest gaps for the selected time period.
Show Big Labels : Toggle labels from showing the date and gap size to just showing a single letter (W/M/Q/Y) designating the time period that the gap is from.
Hide All Labels : Turn labels off and on.
MAX VWAP LINES
Max Weekly | Monthly | Quarterly | Yearly Lines : How many VWAP lines, starting from today, should be shown for the specified time period. Max: 5
SHOW VWAP LINES
Show Weekly | Monthly | Quarterly | Yearly Lines : This feature allows you to remove lines for the specified time period.
Calculations
This indicator does not provide buy or sell signals. It is simply the VWAP calculated starting from an “anchor point”, or start time. It is calculated by the summation of Price x Volume / Volume for the period starting at the anchor point.
How to Interpret
According to Brian Shannon, VWAP is an objective measure of what the average trader has paid for a particular equity over a given period, and is the value that large institutional investors frequently use as a trade signal. Therefore, by definition, when the price is above an AVWAP, buyers are in control for that period of time. Likewise, if the price is below the AVWAP, sellers are in control for that period of time.
VWAPs that coincide with important events, such as FOMC meetings, CPI reports, earnings reports, have added significance. In many cases, these events can cause gaps to happen in day-to-day price movement, and can affect market structure going forward.
Practically speaking, price action can tend to change direction when a significant VWAP is hit, voiding buy and sell signals. Like moving averages, this indicator can show, in real-time, how a buy or sell signal should be interpreted. A significant AVWAP line is a point of interest, and can serve as strong support or resistance, because large institutions may be using those values for entries or exits. For a great analysis of how to use AVWAP, visit the AlphaTrends channel on Youtube here or you can buy Brian Shannon’s “Anchored VWAP” book on Amazon.
Other Usage Notes and Limitations
It's important for traders to be aware of the limitations of any indicator and to use them as part of a broader, well-rounded trading strategy that includes risk management, fundamental analysis, and other tools that can help with reducing false signals, determining trend direction, and providing additional confirmation for a trade decision. Diversifying strategies and not relying solely on one type of indicator or analysis can help mitigate some of these risks.
Additionally, in order to build the VWAP calculations, past data is needed that may not be available on shorter timeframes. The workaround is that for some longer-term VWAP lines on shorter timeframes, you may see less than the total of lines that you selected in settings. This is particularly the case with quarterly VWAP lines on the 5 minute timeframe for some equities.
Acknowledgements
This script uses the MarketHolidays library by @Protervus. Also, for debugging, the JavaScript-style Debug Console by @algotraderdev was invaluable. Special thanks to @antsmuzic for helping review and debug the script. And, of course, without Brian Shannon's books, videos, and interviews, this indicator would would not have happened.
Inversion Fair Value Gap Consumption | Flux Charts💎 GENERAL OVERVIEW
Introducing our new Inversion Fair Value Gap Consumption (IFVG) indicator! Inversion Fair Value Gaps occur when a Fair Value Gap becomes invalidated. They reverse the role of the original Fair Value Gap, making a bullish zone bearish and vice versa. IFVGs get "consumed" when market orders fill the gap occurred. With this indicator, you can now see the percentage of the IFVG's consumed part. For more information about the process, read the "HOW DOES IT WORK" section of the description.
Features of the new Consumption IFVG Indicator :
Render Bullish / Bearish IFVG Zones
See The Consumed Part Of The IFVG Zones
Combination Of Overlapping FVG Zones
Variety Of Zone Detection / Sensitivity / Filtering / Invalidation Settings
High Customizability
🚩UNIQUENESS
This indicator stands out with its ability to render the consumed part of IFVGs. You can see how much of the IFVG's gap is filled, with it's percentage. Also the ability to combine overlapping FVG zones will result in cleaner charts for traders. You can customize the FVG Filtering method, FVG & IFVG Zone Invalidation, Detection Sensitivity etc. according to your needs to get the best performance from the indicator.
📌 HOW DOES IT WORK ?
A Fair Value Gap generally occur when there is an imbalance in the market. They can be detected by specific formations within the chart. An Inversion Fair Value Gap is when a FVG becomes invalidated, thus reversing the direction of the FVG.
IFVGs get consumed when a Close / Wick enters the IFVG zone. Check this example:
⚙️SETTINGS
1. General Configuration
FVG Zone Invalidation -> Select between Wick & Close price for FVG Zone Invalidation.
IFVG Zone Invalidation -> Select between Wick & Close price for IFVG Zone Invalidation. This setting also switches the type for IFVG consumption.
Zone Filtering -> With "Average Range" selected, algorithm will find FVG zones in comparison with average range of last bars in the chart. With the "Volume Threshold" option, you may select a Volume Threshold % to spot FVGs with a larger total volume than average.
FVG Detection -> With the "Same Type" option, all 3 bars that formed the FVG should be the same type. (Bullish / Bearish). If the "All" option is selected, bar types may vary between Bullish / Bearish.
Detection Sensitivity -> You may select between Low, Normal or High FVG detection sensitivity. This will essentially determine the size of the spotted FVGs, with lower sensitivies resulting in spotting bigger FVGs, and higher sensitivies resulting in spotting all sizes of FVGs.
Show Historic Zones -> If this option is on, the indicator will render invalidated IFVG zones as well as current IFVG zones. For a cleaner look at current IFVG zones which are not invalidated yet, you can turn this option off.
HTF Candle ProjectionsThe HTF Candle Projections indicator shows a number of candles from a higher time frame (HTF) projected to the right of the candles in the current timeframe. This can be very useful if you want to analyze two different timeframes without the need to switching between the different timeframes.
This indicator is highly inspired by the HTF Power of Three indicator by @toodegrees but is fully free and open source, it also have support for showing more than just one candle in the projection. It is also inspired by the HTF Candle Insights (Expo) indicator by @Zeiierman but differ in the way that it update the HTF candles in real time and also have support for showing Open/High/Low projections that also updates in real time.

Institutions vs. Crypto Whales Spot BuyingBased on analysis from @tedtalksmacro, I have put together a similar tool that helps to visualise whether institutions (Coinbase and Deribit) or native crypto whales (Binance and Bitfinex) are leading the BTC spot buying.
This is plotted as the normalised relative difference (-1 and 1) between the average of Coinbase and Deribit spot price versus Binance and Bitfinex. If positive (i.e. green bar), institutions are trading at a premium; if negative (i.e. red bar), crypto whales are trading at a premium.
For example, if crypto whales are trading at a premium and price is increasing, then they are leading the buying relative to institutions. However, if whales are trading at a premium and price is decreasing, then it is likely institutions are selling off at a more rapid rate relative to the crypto whales buying pressure. This applies to the alternate scenario where institutions are trading at a premium to crypto whales.
In recent times, native crypto whales (largely Binance) drove the push from 40 to 48k, but then also marked the local top with a major sell off at this price. Institutions then took over buying at the most recent lows, driven largely by GBTC outflows slowing down and Blackrock daily inflows exceeding Grayscale outflows for the first time late last week.
Session breakThis indicator will show future lines before each session start. It will only show London session and US session start.
You can change the color of the lines and time as per day light savings.
Up Weeks (William O'Neil)The indicator draws boxes when close to close returns are positive for at least a specified number of bars. The last bar is only included in the box (if positive) after the market is closed, to avoid false positives.
The standard use (by William O'Neil) is on weekly charts, using at least five consecutive up bars to define a box (indicating strong institutional buying activity).
Options:
* minimum number of up bars to form a box
* include flat bars (zero return) in the up count
* add labels to top and bottom box levels, as shown in the sample chart
Inversion Fair Value Gaps (IFVG) [LuxAlgo]The Inversion Fair Value Gaps (IFVG) indicator is based on the inversion FVG concept by ICT and provides support and resistance zones based on mitigated Fair Value Gaps (FVGs).
🔶 USAGE
Once mitigation of an FVG occurs, we detect the zone as an "Inverted FVG". This would now be looked upon for potential support or resistance.
Mitigation occurs when the price closes above or below the FVG area in the opposite direction of its bias.
Inverted Bullish FVGs Turn into Potential Zones of Resistance.
Inverted Bearish FVGs Turn into Potential Zones of Support.
After the FVG has been mitigated, returning an inversion FVG, a signal is displayed each time the price retests an IFVG zone and breaks below or above (depending on the direction of the FVG).
Keep in mind how IFVGs are calculated and displayed. Once price mitigates an IFVG, all associated graphical elements such as areas, lines, and signals will be deleted.
This indicator is not meant to be just a 'signal indicator'. Backtesting historical signals is incorrect as it does not consider the mitigation of IFVGs, which is a standard method for trading IFVGs & various concepts by ICT.
The signals displayed are meant for real-time analysis of current bars for discretionary analysis. Current confirmed retests of unmitigated IFVGs are still displayed to show which IFVGS have had significant reactions.
🔶 SETTINGS
Show Last: Specifies the number of most recent FVG Inversions to display in Bullish/Bearish pairs, starting at the current and looking back. Max 100 Pairs.
Signal Preference: Allows the user to choose to send signals based on the (Wicks) or (Close) Prices. This can be changed based on user preference.
ATR Multiplier: Filters FVGs based on ATR Width, The script will only detect Inversions that are greater than the ATR * ATR Width.
🔶 ALERTS
This script includes alert options for all signals.
🔹 Bearish Signal
A bearish signal occurs when the price returns to a bearish inversion zone and rejects to the downside.
🔹 Bullish Signal
A bullish signal occurs when the price returns to a bullish inversion zone and bounces out of the top.
Normalized Market IndicatorsExplanation of the Code:
Data Retrieval: The script retrieves the closing prices of the S&P 500 (sp500) and VIX (vix).
Normalization: The script normalizes these values using a simple z-score normalization (subtracting the 50-period simple moving average and dividing by the 50-period standard deviation). This makes the scales of the two datasets more comparable.
Plotting with Secondary Axis: The normalized values of the S&P 500 and VIX are plotted on the same chart. They will share the same y-axis scale as the main chart (e.g. Netflix, GOLD, Forex).
Points to Note:
Normalization Method: The method of normalization (z-score in this case) is a choice and can be adjusted based on your needs. The idea is to bring the data to a comparable scale.
Timeframe and Symbol Codes: Ensure the timeframe and symbol codes are appropriate for your data source and trading strategy.
Overlaying on Price Chart: Since these values are normalized and plotted on a seperate chart, they won't directly correspond to the price levels of the main chart (e.g. Netflix, GOLD, Forex).
Candlesticks Patterns [TradingFinder] Pin Bar Hammer Shooting🔵 Introduction
Truly, the title "TradingView" doesn't do justice to this excellent website, and that's why I've written about its crucial aspect. In this indicator, the identification of all candlesticks known as "Pin bars" is explored.
These candlesticks include the following:
- Hammer : A Pin bar formed at the end of a bearish trend, with its body being either bearish or bullish.
- Shooting Star : Formed at the end of a bullish trend, with its body being either bearish or bullish.
- Hanging Man : Formed during an upward trend, characterized by a candle with a lower shadow.
- Inverted Hammer : Formed during a downward trend, characterized by a candle with an upper shadow.
🟣 Important : For ease of use, we refer to these four candlestick patterns as Pin Bars and categorize them into the main friends "Bullish" and "Bearish."
🟣 Important : In all sources, Hanging Man and Inverted Hammer are referred to as "Reversal candles." However, in reality, whenever they appear after breaking a significant area (Break Out), we expect these candles to signal a continuation of the trend and confirmation in the direction of the trend.
🟣 Important : One of the best signs of market manipulation and entry by market giants is the "Ice Berg." So, it provides one of the best trading opportunities.
🔵 Reason for Creation
Many traders, especially volume traders, use Pin bars as confirmation and enter the market after their occurrence. In this indicator, all four patterns are identified and displayed in a colored candle format, using "triangle" and "circle."
When they are evident on the chart, directly or by drawing a horizontal line, they give us good alerts for reversal or continuation areas.
🔵 Information Table
1. Red circle: Pin bars formed in a downtrend.
2. Blue circle: Bullish Pin bars formed in an uptrend.
3. Black triangle: Bearish Pin bar candle in an uptrend.
4. Blue triangle: Bullish Pin bar candle in a downtrend.
🔵 Settings
Trend Detection Period: A special feature that considers smaller or larger fluctuations. If individual price waves need to be considered, use lower numbers; if the overall trend direction is desired, use larger numbers (e.g., 5-7 or higher). This precisely sets the Zigzag or Pivot format, not displayed but considered in the indicator calculation.
Trend Effect : By changing the Trend Effect status to "Off," all Pin bars, whether bullish or bearish, are displayed regardless of the current market trend. If the status remains "On," only Pin bars in the direction of the main market trend are shown.
🟣 Important : Black triangles "Number 3" and blue triangles "Number 4" displayed in the information table section, as explained in the "Information Table" section.
Show Bullish Pin Bar : When set to "Yes," displays bullish Pin bars; when set to "No," does not display them.
Show Bearish Pin Bar : When set to "Yes," allows the display of bearish Pin bars; when set to "No," does not display them.
Bullish Pin Bar Setting : Using the "Ratio Lower Shadow to Body" and "Ratio Lower Shadow to Higher Shadow" settings, you can customize your bullish Pin bar candles. Larger numbers impose stricter conditions for identifying bullish Pin bars.
Bearish Pin Bar Setting : Using the "Ratio Higher Shadow to Body" and "Ratio Higher Shadow to Lower Shadow" settings, you can customize your bearish Pin bar candles. Larger numbers impose stricter conditions for identifying bearish Pin bars.
Show Info Table : Allows the display or non-display of the information table (located at the bottom of the page and on the right side).
🔵 How to Use
At the end of a downtrend, look for "Hammer" candles, easily identified one by one.
To identify the "Shooting Star" candle pattern at the end of an uptrend; expect a price reversal in the downtrend.
For trades in the downward direction, wait for the formation of an "Inverted Hammer" Pin bar.
And finally, in an uptrend, where a "Hanging Man" candle can form.
🔵 Features
For better visualization, triangles and circles are used above the candles, but they can be easily removed. All Pin bars are displayed in color with the following meanings:
- Black-bodied candle: Inverted Hammer
- Turquoise blue candle: Hammer
- Pink candle: Hanging Man
- Red candle: Shooting Star
🟣 Important : The capability to detect the powerful two-candle pattern "Tweezer Top" at the end of an uptrend emerges by forming two "Shooting Star" candles side by side.
Similarly, the two-candle pattern "Tweezer Bottom" is created at the end of a downtrend with the formation of two "Hammer" candles side by side. To identify the "Tweezer" pattern, make sure the settings in the "Trend Effect" section are set to "Off."
🟣 Auxiliary Indicators
During the start of trading sessions such as Asia, London, and New York, where the highest liquidity exists, alongside this indicator, you can use the Trading Sessions indicator.
Sessions
The combination of Order Blocks "-OB" and "+OB" with candles is one of the best trading methods. The indicator that identifies order blocks, along with this indicator, can yield remarkable results in the success of Pin bar candles.

Liquidity-Finder ICT / SMCIn the context of ICT and the Smart Money Concept, liquidity is likely viewed as a crucial factor for determining the strength and sustainability of a market move. Smart Money is often associated with large institutional traders who have the ability to influence liquidity.
Liquidity Sweep:
A liquidity sweep in this context might involve Smart Money intentionally executing trades across various price levels to assess market depth and liquidity. This information can be used to identify potential areas of interest for Smart Money to initiate or exit positions without causing significant price disruptions.
Stop Hunt:
Stop hunting is a concept that Smart Money traders may employ to deliberately trigger stop orders in the market. By doing so, they can create temporary price movements that allow them to accumulate or liquidate positions at more favorable prices before the market reacts.
Smart Money Concept (SMC):
The Smart Money Concept revolves around the idea that large institutional traders (Smart Money) have superior information and resources compared to retail traders. Understanding the behavior of Smart Money, as taught in ICT and SMC, involves analyzing market dynamics, order flow, and liquidity to make more informed trading decisions.
Liquidating:
Liquidating refers to the process of selling or closing out existing positions. In the context of Smart Money, the term could imply that institutional traders are actively managing their positions, either taking profits or cutting losses strategically based on their analysis of market conditions.

Enhanced Candle Sticks [AlgoAlpha]🚀🌟 Introducing the Enhanced Candle Sticks by AlgoAlpha, a Pine Script tool designed to provide traders with an enhanced view of market dynamics through candlestick analysis. This script aims to visualise if price has hit the high or low of the candle first, aiding in back-testing, and to identify smaller trends using market structure.📊🔍
Key Features:
Timeframe Flexibility: Users can select their desired timeframe for analysis, offering a range of options from M15 to H12. This flexibility allows for detailed and specific timeframe analysis.
Micro Trend Identification: The script includes an option to enable 'MicroTrends', giving traders insights into smaller movements and trends within the larger market context.
Customizable Visuals: Traders can customize the colors of bullish and bearish candlesticks, enhancing visual clarity and personalizing the chart to their preferences.
State Tracking: The script tracks the 'state' of the market on lower timeframes to detect if the high or the low was formed first.
Warning System: When the selected timeframe does not match the chart timeframe, the script generates a warning, ensuring accurate analysis and preventing potential misinterpretations.
Usages:
Enhanced Back-testing: Users can now get a more accurate interpretation of the candlesticks by know if the high or the low came first (denoted with ⩚ or ⩛), especially in scenarios where the high and the low of the larger timeframe candle is touching both the take-profit and stop-loss levels.
Squeeze Analysis: Users can identify squeezes in price when the microtrend shows both an uptrend and a downtrend, possibly giving more insight into the market.
Lower Timeframe Market Structure Analysis: Microtrends form when the low of the candle is consecutively increasing and the high is consecutively falling, which means on a lower timeframe, price is forming higher lows or lower highs.
Basic Logic Explanation:
- The script starts by setting up the necessary parameters and importing the required library. Users can customize the timeframe, colors, and whether to enable micro trends and candlestick plotting.
- It then calculates the lower timeframe (1/12th of the current timeframe) for more detailed analysis. The `minutes` function helps in converting the selected timeframe into minutes.
- The script tracks new bars and calculates the highest and lowest values within an hour, using `ta.highestSince` and `ta.lowestSince`.
- It determines the market 'state' by checking if the current high is breaking the previous high and if the current low is breaking the previous low on lower timeframes to determine if the high or the low was formed first.
- The script uses the `plotchar` and `plotcandle` functions to visually represent these trends and states on the chart. This visual representation is key for quick and effective analysis.

Candle Color By OHLC ComparisonThis indicator is designed to help you recognize the price movements within a candle/bar more quickly and easily. Typically, candle coloring is based on the opening and closing prices, but in this indicator, I followed the OHLC values in reverse order: starting with closing, low, high, and then opening. Each of these is compared with the value in the previous candle. I assigned the least importance to the opening, hence did not include it in the color determination. To make the colors memorable, I used a rainbow-like color scale; with purple representing the highest value and maroon the lowest. You can also change the colors if you wish. Additionally, if you want to set alarms, I assigned values to the candles; the highest being 16 and the lowest 1. A thicker barchart provides a better visual representation.
For instance, consider the monthly chart of the NASDAQ 100. After a prolonged positive trend, when our indicator shows a negative maroon bar (representing a low value) for the first time, it could signal a change in the trend direction. In this scenario, the appearance of the maroon bar serves as a crucial alert for investors to review their current positions or prepare for a potential downtrend. This indicator provides users with a significant advantage in identifying such critical turning points and assists them in quickly adapting to market dynamics.
Centered Buy and Sell Volume Indicator with FillThis indicator provides an estimation of buy and sell volumes in the market. The estimated buy volume is represented by a blue-green color, while the estimated sell volume is depicted in purple. Both of these are highlighted with a solid fill. Additionally, the Rate of Change for the buy volume is shown in a solid green line, and for the sell volume, it's illustrated with a solid purple line, both without any fill.
Flags and Pennants [Trendoscope®]🎲 An extension to Chart Patterns based on Trend Line Pairs - Flags and Pennants
After exploring Algorithmic Identification and Classification of Chart Patterns and developing Auto Chart Patterns Indicator , we now delve into extensions of these patterns, focusing on Flag and Pennant Chart Patterns. These patterns evolve from basic trend line pair-based structures, often influenced by preceding market impulses.
🎲 Identification rules for the Extension Patterns
🎯 Identify the existence of Base Chart Patterns
Before identifying the flag and pennant patterns, we first need to identify the existence of following base trend line pair based converging or parallel patterns.
Ascending Channel
Descending Channel
Rising Wedge (Contracting)
Falling Wedge (Contracting)
Converging Triangle
Descending Triangle (Contracting)
Ascending Triangle (Contracting)
🎯 Identifying Extension Patterns.
The key to pinpointing these patterns lies in spotting a strong impulsive wave – akin to a flagpole – preceding a base pattern. This setup suggests potential for an extension pattern:
A Bullish Flag emerges from a positive impulse followed by a descending channel or a falling wedge
A Bearish Flag appears after a negative impulse leading to an ascending channel or a rising wedge.
A Bullish Pennant is indicated by a positive thrust preceding a converging triangle or ascending triangle.
A Bearish Pennant follows a negative impulse and a converging or descending triangle.
🎲 Pattern Classifications and Characteristics
🎯 Bullish Flag Pattern
Characteristics of Bullish Flag Pattern are as follows
Starts with a positive impulse wave
Immediately followed by either a short descending channel or a falling wedge
Here is an example of Bullish Flag Pattern
🎯 Bearish Flag Pattern
Characteristics of Bearish Flag Pattern are as follows
Starts with a negative impulse wave
Immediately followed by either a short ascending channel or a rising wedge
Here is an example of Bearish Flag Pattern
🎯 Bullish Pennant Pattern
Characteristics of Bullish Pennant Pattern are as follows
Starts with a positive impulse wave
Immediately followed by either a converging triangle or ascending triangle pattern.
Here is an example of Bullish Pennant Pattern
🎯 Bearish Pennant Pattern
Characteristics of Bearish Pennant Pattern are as follows
Starts with a negative impulse wave
Immediately followed by either a converging triangle or a descending converging triangle pattern.
Here is an example of Bearish Pennant Pattern
🎲 Trading Extension Patterns
In a strong market trend, it's common to see temporary periods of consolidation, forming patterns that either converge or range, often counter to the ongoing trend direction. Such pauses may lay the groundwork for the continuation of the trend post-breakout. The assumption that the trend will resume shapes the underlying bias of Flag and Pennant patterns
It's important, however, not to base decisions solely on past trends. Conducting personal back testing is crucial to ascertain the most effective entry and exit strategies for these patterns. Remember, the behavior of these patterns can vary significantly with the volatility of the asset and the specific timeframe being analyzed.
Approach the interpretation of these patterns with prudence, considering that market dynamics are subject to a wide array of influencing factors that might deviate from expected outcomes. For investors and traders, it's essential to engage in thorough back testing, establishing entry points, stop-loss orders, and target goals that align with your individual trading style and risk appetite. This step is key to assessing the viability of these patterns in line with your personal trading strategies and goals.
It's fairly common to witness a breakout followed by a swift price reversal after these patterns have formed. Additionally, there's room for innovation in trading by going against the bias if the breakout occurs in the opposite direction, specially when the trend before the formation of the pattern is in against the pattern bias.

Gains CorrelationsScript Description: This script is to tie the major futures indexes together at a macro level with the normal relationships (i.e. 10YR Yield, DXY, VIX inversely related to Equities) and determine how strong the correlation is between them using a 20 period average. For example, a move up in the 10YR yield while having a strong inverse covariance with equities should signal a downward move for equities. In addition, if ES and NQ are going down, and the Dow and RTY have a strong covariance, the probability of them going down as well is strong. Overall, it's a macro indicator on broad market movements.
Originality & Usefulness: The script functions by tying 7 major indexes together using correlation strength relative to the currently selected ticker. The user can change the tickers and also invert if needed. This is different from the single correlation script by adding in several as they track in tandem. The chart used is to illustrate periods where correlations are tight with equities and the lines are clustered towards the top range of strong covariance. It also highlights when Equities are far out of line with others like gold (GC). A loose covariance would mean the relationship is weak and this indicator would show a divergence in price action between them. The overall intent is to show that most indexes rise and fall together but sometimes they move faster together.

Golden Cross and Death Cross with ProbabilityThe Advanced Golden and Death Crossover Indicator offers traders a powerful tool for identifying potential buy and sell signals through the classic technical analysis method of moving average crossovers. This script enhances decision-making by dynamically changing the chart background color in response to Golden (bullish) and Death (bearish) crossovers, providing a visual representation of the market's momentum.
Features:
Golden and Death Crossover Detection: Utilizes a 50-period SMA and a 200-period SMA to identify potential buy (golden cross) and sell (death cross) points.
Continuous Background Coloring: Changes the chart's background color to green for golden crosses and red for death crosses, offering an intuitive grasp of market trends.
Customizable Lookback Period: Allows users to adjust the lookback period for calculating the success rate of each crossover, making the indicator adaptable to various trading strategies.
Success Rate Calculation: Provides an additional layer of analysis by calculating the historical success rate of crossovers within the specified lookback period.
Instructions:
Adding the Indicator: Search for "Advanced Golden and Death Crossover Indicator" in the TradingView Indicators & Strategies library and add it to your chart.
Customization: Access the indicator settings to adjust the lookback period according to your trading preferences.
Interpretation: Use the continuous background color as a guide to market conditions, with green indicating bullish momentum and red indicating bearish momentum. The success rate of past crossovers can help assess the reliability of the signals.
How the Script Works:
The Advanced Golden and Death Crossover Indicator operates by continuously monitoring two key moving averages (MAs) on your chart: a short-term (50-period) SMA and a long-term (200-period) SMA. Here's a step-by-step breakdown of its functionality:
Crossover Detection:
Golden Cross: When the short-term MA crosses above the long-term MA, indicating potential bullish momentum, the script identifies this as a Golden Cross signal.
Death Cross: Conversely, when the short-term MA crosses below the long-term MA, suggesting potential bearish momentum, the script flags this as a Death Cross signal.
Background Coloring:
Upon detecting a Golden Cross, the script changes the chart background to green, visually representing a bullish market condition.
Upon detecting a Death Cross, the chart background turns red, indicating bearish market conditions.
This color change remains in effect until the next crossover event, providing a continuous visual cue of the market's trend direction.
Success Rate Calculation:
The script calculates the historical success rate of these crossovers within a user-defined lookback period. This metric helps assess the reliability of the signals based on past performance.
Customization:
Users have the flexibility to adjust the lookback period for the success rate calculation, allowing for customization according to individual trading strategies and risk preferences.
Application in Trading Analysis:
Traders can use this indicator as part of their technical analysis toolkit to make informed decisions about entry and exit points. The visual cues from the continuous background coloring, combined with the success rate of past signals, provide a comprehensive overview of market trends and crossover reliability. It’s important for traders to combine this indicator with other analysis tools and consider broader market conditions to optimize their trading strategy.
