Exponential Grid [Phi, Pi, Euler]If you disagree with one of the EMH principles that price is too random, then by definition you must agree that historic price has deterministic function to a scenario ahead.
I personally believe that constants like phi, pi and e can mimic exponential growth of the price.
In this script, first grid is based on the Lowest price multiplied with self fraction of the constant.
For example:
If you are familiar with fib ratio 1.272, then you must know that it is 1.618 to the power of 0.5.
With default settings of exponent step 0.25
First grid = Lowest price x phi^0.25
Second grid = Lowest price x phi^0.25x2
Third grid = Lowest price x phi^0.25x3 and so on
The script will automatically find the lowest price and update the grid values.
Or you can set up your custom Lowest price manually if you feel like the All Time Low level loses its relevance value after long period.
There are 64 grids including Lowest price level. And it wasn't by a chance. Pine Script has a limitation of max 64 plots. Number of grids shown in the chart depends on the highest price. Once price breaks above ATH a couple of next grids will be plotted automatically. In most cases if everything is plotted, the chart appears squeezed and you'll need to zoom in to see it. Therefore, I adjusted it relatively to the scale of the chart for the comfort.
In some cases 64 plots aren't enough to cover the whole chart. For example, let's take a look at NVIDIA chart:
Since the price has started with 0.0333, it is way too small to cover all with default settings.
We are left with 2 choices:
Either Enable "Round"
OR increase Exponent Step (from 0.25 to 0.5 in the particular example below)
If you set constant to pi or e which is a bigger number than phi, expect the gaps to be bigger. To reduce it to a more gradual way of expansion you can decrease Exponent Step.
Expansion
Master Pattern [UAlgo]🔶 Description:
"Master Pattern by UAlgo" aims to identify and visualize "Master Patterns" in price movements on financial charts, and focusing on detecting liquidity levels and sweeps. The indicator provides users with the ability to customize settings such as master pattern detection and detection flexibility, sensitivity to liquidity levels, and visualization preferences.
🔶 What is the Master Pattern ?
The Master Pattern is a framework built around understanding market cycles, which include three main phases: Contraction, Expansion, and Trend.
Contraction Phase: During this phase, the market fluctuates less and consolidates within a narrow range. Institutional trading volumes tend to be low and it is recommended to avoid trading entries during this period.
Expansion Phase: volatility increases and prices fluctuate greatly. Institutional traders begin to establish positions at this stage and may manipulate prices to attract retail traders to create liquidity for their own buy or sell targets.
Trend Phase: The final phase that completes the market cycle. Institutional traders started taking profits, causing the trend to reverse. This triggered panic among retail traders, leading to liquidations and stop-losses. This creates liquidity from which institutional traders can profit, while retail traders' positions are overvalued.
🔶 Key Features:
Pattern Detection : The indicator detects and visualizes contraction patterns in price movements, helping traders identify potential areas of price consolidation.
Also traders can choose between different modes (Strict, Normal, Relax) for obtaining master patterns, providing flexibility in pattern identification based on individual trading strategies and preferences.
The Value/Expansion Line : This value line is considered by institutional traders as a potential “Point of Origin” for future price movements.
An Application Example of the Master Pattern :
Select the Appropriate Timeframes: A significant separation between the higher timeframe (HTF) and the lower timeframe (LTF) is essential. For instance, combinations like 4H and 15M, 4H and 5M, or 1H and 1M. You can change this according to your own strategy.
Trade Based on Contraction Box, Value Line and Liquidity: When the HTF is above value, look for buying opportunities on your LTF below value. Conversely, when the HTF is below value, seek selling opportunities on your LTF above value. Sweeping liquidity in LTF is also an important parameter.
Also Value/Expansion Line can also be used as Support/Resistance zone,
Liquidity Levels : The indicator includes functionality to detect and display liquidity levels on the chart.
Dashboard Display : A customizable dashboard provides users with key information, including liquidity levels, master pattern values, and whether the current price is above or below Master Pattern's value lines.
Additionally, when liquidity is swept or the price rises above or falls below the value line. this information can be displayed on the dashboard.
Customizable Settings: Users can adjust parameters such as the pattern detection mode, sensitivity to liquidity levels, liquidity type (cumulative or individual for each swing), visualization preferences for master patterns, the position and font size of the dashboard.

Forex Master Pattern Screener 2Overview
The Forex Master Pattern Screener 2 is based on the Master Pattern, which includes contraction, expansion, and trend phases. This indicator is designed to identify and visualize market volatility, market phases, multi-timeframe contractions, liquidity points, and pivot calculations. It provides a clear image of the market's expansion and contraction phases. It's based on an alternative form of technical analysis that reveals the psychological patterns of financial markets through three phases.
Unlike the other master pattern indicators that just use highs and lows and aren't as accurate for finding contractions, this one uses actual measures of volatility to find extremely low levels of volatility and has customizable parameters depending on what you want to do.
What is the Forex Master Pattern?
The Forex Master Pattern is a framework that revolves around understanding market cycles, comprising the three main phases: contraction, expansion, and trend.
Contraction Phase: During this phase, the market has low volatility and is consolidating within a narrow range. Institutional volume tends to be low, and it's suggested to avoid trade entries during this period.
Expansion Phase: Volatility starts to increase, and there start to be bigger moves in price. Institutional traders start accumulating positions in this phase, and they might manipulate prices to draw in retail traders, creating liquidity for their own buying or selling goals.
Trend Phase: This final phase completes the market cycle. Institutional traders begin taking profits, leading to a reversal. This triggers panic among retail traders, resulting in liquidations and stops. This generates liquidity for institutional traders to profit, leaving retail traders with overvalued positions.
Value Line:
The "value line" acts as the fair value zone or the neutral belief zone where buyers and sellers agree on fair value. It can be likened to the center of gravity and is created during contraction zones.
Applications:
Identifying these phases and understanding the value lines can help traders determine the market's general direction and make better trading decisions.
This isn't a strategy but a concept explaining market behavior, allowing traders to develop various strategies based on these principles
The contractions, which are based on volatility calculations, can help you find out when big moves will occur, known as expansions.
How traders can use this indicator
1. Identifying Market Phases:
Contraction Phase: Look for periods where the market has low volatility and is contracting, indicated by a narrow range and highlighted by the contraction box. During this phase, traders prepare for a breakout but usually avoid making new trades until a clearer trend emerges.
Expansion Phase: When the indicator signals an expansion, it suggests that the market is moving out of consolidation and may be beginning a new trend. Traders might look for entry points here, anticipating a continuation of the trend.
Trend Phase: As the market enters this phase, traders look for signs of sustained movement in one direction and consider positions that benefit from this trend.
2. Multi-Timeframe Analysis:
By looking at multiple timeframes, traders can get a broader view of the market. For instance, a contraction phase in a shorter timeframe within an expansion phase in a longer timeframe might suggest a pullback in an overall uptrend. This indicator comes with a MTF contraction screener that is customizable.
2. Fair Value Lines:
The fair value acts like a "center of gravity.". Traders could use this as a reference point for understanding market sentiment and potential reversal points. This indicator shows these values in the middle of the contraction boxes.
3. Volatility Analysis:
This indicator's volatility settings can help traders understand the market's current volatility state. High volatility indicates a more active market with larger, faster moves, while low volatility might suggest caution and tighter stop-losses or take-profits. If volatility is contracting, then an expansion is imminent. This indicator shows the volatility with percentile ranks in 0-100 values and also alerts you when volatility is contracting, aka the contraction phase.
Volatility Calculations:
This indicator uses a geometric standard deviation to measure volatility based on historical price data. This metric quantifies the variability of price changes over a specified lookback period and then computes a percentile rank within a defined sample period. This percentile calculation helps evaluate the current volatility compared to historical levels.
Based on the percentile rank, the indicator sets thresholds to determine whether the current volatility is within a range considered "contraction" or not. For example, if there are really low levels of volatility on the percentile rank, then there is currently a contraction phase. The indicator also compares the volatility value against a moving average, where values above the current moving average value signal the expansion phase.
Multi-Timeframe Analysis (MTF):
This indicator comes with a multi-timeframe table that shows contractions for 5 different timeframes, and the table is customizable.
Bands:
This indicator comes with bands that are constructed based on the statistical calculations of the standard deviation applied to the log-transformed closing prices. It is commonly assumed that the distribution of prices fits some type of right-skewed distribution. To remove most of the skewness, you can use a log transformation , which makes the distribution more symmetrical and easier to analyze, thus the use of these bands . These bands are in the 2 standard deviation range. You can use these bands to trade at extreme levels. The band parameter is based on the contraction volatility lookback, which is in the Volatility Model Settings tab.
Ways the bands could be used with the contractions:
1. Identifying Breakout trades:
Contraction Zones: These zones indicate periods of low volatility where the market is consolidating. There are usually narrow price ranges, which are considered a build-up phase before a significant price move in any direction.
Bands: When the contraction zone occurs, you might notice the bands tightening around the price on smaller lookback periods, reflecting the decreased volatility. A continuous widening of the bands could then signal the beginning of an expansion phase, indicating a potential breakout opportunity.
2. Enhancing Trade Timing:
Before the Breakout: During the contraction phase, the bands might move closer together, reflecting the lower volatility. You can monitor this phase closely and prepare for a potential expansion. The bands can provide additional confirmation; for instance, a price move toward one of the bands might show an extreme occurrence and might show what the direction of the breakout could be.
After the breakout: Once the price breaks out of the contraction zone and goes to the expansion phase, and if it coincides with the bands widening significantly, it could reinforce the strength and potential sustainability of the new trend, providing a clearer entry.
3. Price-touching bands during a contraction:
If the price repeatedly touches one of the bands during a contraction phase, it might suggest a buildup of pressure in that direction. For example, if the price is consistently touching the upper band even though the bands are narrow, it might suggest bullish pressure that could occur once the expansion phase begin.
4. Price at the band extreme levels during Expansion:
If the price is at the extreme levels of the bands once the expansion phase occurs, it might indicate unsustainable levels and a low probability of the price continuing beyond those levels. Potentially signaling that a reversal will occur. Some trades could use these extremes to place entries during the expansion phases.
Liquidity Levels:
This script comes with liquidity points, whose functionality goes towards identifying pivotal levels in price action, focusing on swing highs and swing lows in the market. These points represent areas where significant buying (for swing lows) or selling (for swing highs) activity has occurred, implying potential levels or resistance in the price movement.
These liquidity points, often identified as highs and lows, are points where market participants have shown interest in the past. These levels can act as psychological indications where traders might place orders, leading to increased trading activity when these levels are approached or breached. When used with the Forex Master Pattern phases, liquidity levels can enhance trades placed with this indicator. For instance, if the market is expanding and approaches a significant liquidity level, there might be a higher chance of a breakout or reversal, showing a possible entry or exit point.
Liquidity Levels in the Contraction Phase:
Accumulation and Distribution: During the contraction phase, liquidity levels can indicate where huge positions are likely accumulating or distributing quietly. If price is near a known liquidity level and in a contraction phase, it might suggest that a large market player is building a position in anticipation of the next move.
Breakout Points: Liquidity levels can also give clues about where price could go after the breakout from the contraction phase. A break above a liquidity level might indicate a strong move to come as the market overcomes significant selling pressure.
Liquidity Levels in Expansion Phase:
Direct Confirmation: As the expansion phase begins, breaking through liquidity levels can confirm the new trend's direction. If the price moves past these levels with huge volume, it might indicate that the market has enough momentum to continue the trend.
Target Areas: Liquidity levels can act as target areas during the expansion phase. Traders using this indicator could look to take profits if the price approaches these levels, possibly expecting a reaction from the market.
MTF Fusion - High Volume Expansion Channel [TradingIndicators]Exceptionally high volume and rapid price expansion are key markers of powerful moves, especially when they occur during a breakout or breakdown. The High Volume Expansion Channel (HVEC) uses our multi-timeframe fusion and price compression/expansion algorithms to look for high volume and rapid expansion from multiple higher timeframes at once. It uses this info to determine a high volume and expansion 'grade', and then encodes this result into a colored channel. This channel coloring varies in intensity based on how exceptionally high volume is and how rapidly price is expanding in either direction.
What is MTF Fusion?
Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Fusion is the process of combining calculations from multiple timeframes higher than the chart's into one 'fused' value or indicator. It is based on the idea that integrating data from higher timeframes can help us to better identify short-term trading opportunities within the context of long-term market trends.
How does it work?
Let's use the context of this indicator, which calculates a 'high volume and expansion grade' (let's call it HVEG), as an example to explain how MTF Fusion works and how you can perform it yourself.
Step 1: Selecting Higher Timeframes
The first step is to determine the appropriate higher timeframes to use for the fusion calculation. These timeframes should typically be chosen based on their ability to provide meaningful data and action which actively affect the price action of the smaller timeframe you're focused on. For example, if you are trading the 5 minute chart, you might select the 15 minute, 30 minute, and hourly timeframe as the higher timeframes you want to fuse in order to give you a more holistic view of the trends and action affecting you on the 5 minute. In this indicator, four higher timeframes are automatically selected depending on the timeframe of the chart it is applied to.
Step 2: Gathering Data and Calculations
Once the higher timeframes are identified, the next step is to calculate the data from these higher timeframes that will be used to calculate your fused values. In this indicator, for example, the HVEG value is calculated by determining the HVEG for all four higher timeframes.
Step 3: Fusing the Values From Higher Timeframes
The next step is to actually combine the values from these higher timeframes to obtain your 'fused' indicator values. The simplest approach to this is to simply average them. If you have calculated the HVEG value from three higher timeframes, you can, for example, calculate your 'multi-timeframe fused HVEG' as (HigherTF_HVEG_1 + HigherTF_HVEG_2 + HigherTF_HVEG_3) / 3.0.
Step 4: Visualization and Interpretation
Once the calculations are complete, the resulting fused indicator values are plotted on the chart. These values reflect the fusion of data from the multiple higher timeframes, giving a broader perspective on the market's behavior and potentially valuable insights without the need to manually consider values from each higher timeframe yourself.
What makes this script unique? Why is it closed source?
While the process described above is fairly unique and sounds simple, the truly important key lies in determining which higher timeframes to fuse together, and how to weight their values when calculating the fused end result in such a way that best leverages their relationship for useful TA.
This MTF Fusion indicator employs a smart, adaptive algorithm which automatically selects appropriate higher timeframes to use in fusion calculations depending on the timeframe of the chart it is applied to. It also uses a dynamic algorithm to adjust and weight the high volume and price expansion grade calculations depending on each higher timeframe's relationship to the chart timeframe. These algorithms are based on extensive testing and are the reason behind this script's closed source status.

ICT Macros [LuxAlgo]The ICT Macros indicator aims to highlight & classify ICT Macros, which are time intervals where algorithmic trading takes place to interact with existing liquidity or to create new liquidity.
🔶 SETTINGS
🔹 Macros
Macro Time options (such as '09:50 AM 10:10'): Enable specific macro display.
Top Line , Mid Line , Bottom Line and Extending Lines options: Controls the lines for the specific macro.
🔹 Macro Classification
Length : A length to detect Market Structure Brakes and classify macro type based on detection.
Swing Area : Swing or Liquidity Area selection, highest/lowest of the wick or the candle bodies.
Accumulation , Manipulation and Expansion color options for the classified macros.
🔹 Others
Macro Texts : Controls both the size and the visibility of the macro text.
Alert Macro Times in Advance (Minutes) : This option will plot a vertical line presenting the start of the next macro time. The line will not appear all the time, but it will be there based on remaining minutes specified in the option.
Daylight Saving Time (DST) : Adjust time appropriate to Daylight Saving Time of the specific region.
🔶 USAGE
A macro is a way to automate a task or procedure which you perform on a regular basis.
In the context of ICT's teachings, a macro is a small program or set of instructions that unfolds within an algorithm, which influences price movements in the market. These macros operate at specific times and can be related to price runs from one level to another or certain market behaviors during specific time intervals. They help traders anticipate market movements and potential setups during specific time intervals.
To trade these effectively, it is important to understand the time of day when certain macros come into play, and it is strongly advised to introduce the concept of liquidity in your analysis.
Macros can be classified into three categories where the Macro classification is calculated based on the Market Structure prior to macro and the Market Structure during the macro duration:
Manipulation Macro
Manipulation macros are characterized by liquidity being swept both on the buyside and sellside.
Expansion Macro
Expansion macros are characterized by liquidity being swept only on the buyside or sellside. Prices within these macros are highly correlated with the overall trend.
Accumulation Macro
Accumulation macros are characterized by an accumulation of liquidity. Prices within these macros tend to range.
The script returns the maximum/minimum price values reached during the macro interval alongside the average between the maximum/minimum and extends them until a new macro starts. These levels can act as supports and resistances.
🔶 DETAILS
All required data for the macro detection and classification is retrieved using 1 minute data sets, this includes candles as well as pivot/swing highs and lows. This approach guarantees the visually presented objects are same (same highs/lows) on higher timeframes as well as the macro classification remain same as it is in 1 min charts.

🔶 LIMITATIONS
The script is supported on 1 min, 3 mins and 5 mins charts.
🔶 RELATED SCRIPTS
Adaptive Momentum Channel - [Volume Filter]The Adaptive Momentum Channel with Volume Filter (Adaptive MCVF) is an indicator that utilizes an adaptive RSI to adjust its sensitivity based on the market conditions. The RSI component of the indicator calculates the standard deviation and mean deviation of RSI values and uses these to calculate the adaptive RSI. The volume filter component of the indicator filters the adaptive RSI based on the volume average, allowing the indicator to identify trend changes and filter out market noise.
The indicator plots the upper and lower bands of the Adaptive MCVF, which are calculated by taking the moving average of the filtered RSI and applying an offset based on the standard deviation. A fast moving average is also plotted, which can be used to identify short-term changes in the trend.
The Adaptive MCVF also includes a divergence identification feature, which can be used to identify potential trend changes. The indicator plots regular bullish and bearish divergences, as well as hidden bullish and bearish divergences.
This is a variant of my previous MCVF indicator, this one simply allows you to take the standard deviation of the momentum and use it to make the indicator a bit more adaptive!
I made it protected to hide the standard deviation math and the auto divergence code.
You can always use this indicator by pressing "favorite";)
Volume Channel - [With Volume Filter]The indicator calculates two volume-weighted moving averages (VWMA) using different lengths, and filters them based on a moving average of volume. The filtered VWMA values are then plotted on the chart as lines, representing the fast and slow moving averages. In addition, upper and lower bands are calculated based on the slow VWMA and plotted as lines on the chart.
The fast and slow VWMA lines can be used to identify trends in the market. When the fast VWMA is above the slow VWMA, it is an indication of an uptrend, and when the fast VWMA is below the slow VWMA, it is an indication of a downtrend. The position of the VWMA lines relative to the upper and lower bands can also be used to identify potential trade signals.
When the price is near the upper band, it indicates that the market is overbought, and when the price is near the lower band, it indicates that the market is oversold. Traders can use these signals to enter or exit trades.
The indicator also includes a volume filter, which means that the VWMA values are only calculated when the volume is above a certain moving average of volume. This helps to filter out noise in the market and provide more accurate signals.
Explanation for each parameter
vwmaLength1: This is the length of the fast volume-weighted moving average (VWMA) used in the calculation. The default value is 10, and it can be adjusted by the user.
vwmaLength2: This is the length of the slow volume-weighted moving average (VWMA) used in the calculation. The default value is 25, and it can be adjusted by the user.
bandLength: This is the length of the moving average used to calculate the upper and lower bands. The default value is 34, and it is not adjustable by the user.
volumeFilterLength: This is the length of the moving average of volume used as a filter for the VWMA calculation. The default value is 5, and it can be adjusted by the user.
src: This is the input source for the VWMA calculation. The default value is close, which means the indicator is using the closing price of each bar. However, the user can select a different input source by changing this parameter.
filteredVwma1: This is the filtered VWMA calculated based on the volume filter and the fast VWMA length. It is plotted as a line on the chart and can be used to identify short-term trends.
filteredVwma2: This is the filtered VWMA calculated based on the volume filter and the slow VWMA length. It is plotted as a line on the chart and can be used to identify long-term trends.
ma: This is the moving average of the filtered slow VWMA values, which is used to calculate the upper and lower bands. It is plotted as a line on the chart.
offs: This is the offset used to calculate the upper and lower bands. It is based on the standard deviation of the filtered slow VWMA values and is multiplied by 1.6185 * 3. It is plotted as a line on the chart.
up: This is the upper band calculated as the moving average plus the offset. It is plotted as a line on the chart and can be used to identify overbought conditions.
dn: This is the lower band calculated as the moving average minus the offset. It is plotted as a line on the chart and can be used to identify oversold conditions.
Matrix Momentum Expansion [IkkeOmar]The indicator consists of several features:
Candlestick chart: The indicator plots a candlestick chart based on the input parameters of the user. The candlesticks are colored blue or orange depending on whether the closing price is above or below the upper and lower bands.
Support and Resistance levels: The indicator also plots support and resistance levels based on the CCI (Commodity Channel Index) of the asset's price. These levels are dynamic and change based on the user's input parameters.
Momentum: The indicator calculates the momentum of the market based on the smoothed and standard deviation of the asset's price. It uses this momentum to calculate upper and lower bands that are plotted on the chart.
Warning signals: The indicator can also be used to identify potential warning signals. When the closing price of the asset moves above the upper band, it could indicate that the market is overbought and a potential reversal could occur. Conversely, when the closing price moves below the lower band, it could indicate that the market is oversold and a potential reversal could occur.
Contractions and expansions in the bands can provide important information to traders about potential price movements.
When the bands contract, it indicates that the market is experiencing low volatility and the price is likely to move sideways. During these periods, traders may look for other signals, such as support and resistance levels or price patterns, to determine potential entry and exit points.
On the other hand, when the bands expand, it indicates that the market is experiencing high volatility and the price is likely to move in a particular direction. Traders can use this information to identify potential trend reversals or continuation patterns. When the upper and lower bands move further apart, it indicates that the trend is becoming stronger, while when they move closer together, it indicates that the trend may be weakening.
When the price moves outside of the bands, it can also provide important information to traders. If the price moves above the upper band, it could indicate that the market is overbought and a potential reversal could occur. Conversely, if the price moves below the lower band, it could indicate that the market is oversold and a potential reversal could occur.
Very important note!
When you see contractions, please understand that it's a wonderful opportunity to pivot into position to catch a good trade because we will see an expansion after!
Momentum Channel - [Volume Filter]The indicator incorporates a volume filter to ensure that the RSI only moves when the volume is above the moving average of the volume.
The filtered RSI is then used to calculate the Bollinger Bands and moving averages, providing insights into the market dynamics.
It also gives you insight into the bigger timeframes so you can monitor momentum!
Volume Filter Length: Input parameter for the length of the volume filter moving average.
Overview of code:
rsiPeriod: Input parameter for the RSI period.
bandLength: Input parameter for the length of the Bollinger Bands.
lengthrsipl: Input parameter for the length of the fast moving average (MA) on the RSI.
volumeFilterLength: Input parameter for the length of the volume filter moving average.
volumeAvg: Calculates the moving average of the volume using the ta.sma() function with the specified volume filter length.
filteredRsi: Uses the ta.valuewhen() function to obtain the RSI value only when the volume is greater than or equal to the volume moving average. This creates a filtered RSI based on the volume filter.
offs: Calculates the offset value for the Bollinger Bands. It is derived by multiplying 1.6185 with the standard deviation of the filtered RSI using the ta.stdev() function.
VWMA Volatility OscillatorVWMA Volatility Oscillator
This oscillator uses Volume Weighted Moving Averages to plot the volume. When the average is on the bottom then there is a chance that volatility contractions could be happening and a expansion could happen soon. When the average can be seen "high" like peaking then this could mean that there already is a lot of volume and the expansion is already happening.
What are contractions and expansions?
Contractions are periods in the markets where the price range gets tighter signifying decreasing volatility.
After contractions, Expansions will occur which is a strong movement upwards or downwards and the range increases, which shows an increase in volatility.
How to use this indicator
The indicator has 3 VWMA lines. The indicator also has a bottom range by getting the lowest points of each of the VWMA lines. If the VWMA lines are at the bottom ranges this can signify low volatility and a contraction. This can mean that at any moment a expansion will happen and a possible pump or dump.
Expansion Finder by nnamWhat this Indicator Does
This indicator helps the trader locate expansion and contraction areas in an easy visual way.
When the asset moves from a contraction phase into an expansion phase, the bars change color (customizable). This allows the trader to recognize areas of contraction and avoid trading them. Once a Bar Range moves outside of the average range as specified by the user, the bar will change color informing the trader that the current bar and by default the market, is moving into an expansion phase from a contraction phase.
The indicator works well for those traders that use the Forex Master Pattern to locate Value Lines and Value Areas on the chart giving them an opportunity to draw in these areas with ease.
As shown in the screenshot below, the boxes are manually drawn after the trader locates an easily identifiable area of contraction.
The Indicator makes it easy to find longer areas of contraction and ignore the noise of smaller contractions.
Customizable Settings allow the trader to define the lookback range that determines the number of bars to base the average.
A "multiplier" setting allows the trader to easily adjust the Average by changing the average using a simple calculation.
Example, if the average multiplier is set to "1", the average will be used.
Using the standard average is not always the best way to define these contractions, so traders can set the average to a higher or lower number by using the multiplier, thus changing the calculation but maintaining a consistent number across the chart.
Example: If the average is not plotting the contraction correctly, the trader can manually adjust the multiplier down to 0.5 thus adjusting the average in half or increase the multiplier to 2 thus doubling the average.
As seen in the screenshot below, this changes the number of expansion bars visible on the chart.
Below you can see Value Areas and Value Lines drawn in. These lines assist the trader in defining important levels for future trading.
I hope this Indicator helps you locate value areas and value lines on charts in an easy way.
Any questions or concerns or suggestions, please do not hesitate to reach out.
Happy Trading !!!!
Reversal Pivot
Overview
Introducing the Reversal Pivot indicator - a tool for identifying potential reversal points in price. This algorithm takes into account multiple factors, including price action, volume, and pivot points, to give you a clear and accurate picture of where the market is heading to.
How it works
The indicator gets expansions and the highs and lows and uses the conditions along with pivots to determine whether a reversal is possible or not. Then it gets the volume to determine how strong this chance of reversal is.
How to use
The Reversal Pivot indicator alone shouldn't be used to find reversal points but it helps you get a clear insight on where possible reversals could happen for example, you could use it with mean reversion strategies to find the best entries.
Red bars signal a bearish reversal
Green bars signal a bullish reversal
This here is an example of a long entry if you are trading lets say the mean. You can wait for a bullish reversal on the Histogram plot and then enter, a reversal could happen.
This is an example of a short entry if you are also trading the mean.
Other features

Stockbee Momentum BurstThis is a script to color code bars based on the bullish- and bearish combination.
Bullish Combination
Percent: Price >= 4% from yesterday and Volume today > Yesterday
Dollar: Price >= 0.9 dollar from open
Base Requirements
- Price > Yesterday's close
- Price > Open
- Price is within 30% of high
- Todays price range >= Yesterdays price range
- Yesterday's move <= 2%
- Volume >= 100 000
Bearish Combination
Percent: Price <= 4% from yesterday and Volume today > Yesterday
Dollar: Price <= 0.9 dollar from open
Base Requirements
- Price < Yesterday's close
- Price < Open
- Price is within 30% of low

Momentum Filter
These are based on the 10 and 20 EMA crossover, where the former above would indicate upward momentum and below downward momentum. This can help to narrow down the color code to continuation phases. The linked option will override all other momentum filters, bullish candles will be displayed when EMA 10 > 20 and bearish candles when EMA 10 < 20.
BE- InsideOut Explosion - Trade the Benefit Of DoubtDear Traders,
Here with presenting the new Indicator which is primarily built based on the the concept Contraction & Explosion.
Idea behind this Indicator: I am sure every trader would have heard about consolidation and Expansion. When we we look deep inside the consolidation zone it leaves a mark
on the direction most of the time and just explode breaking the consolidation zone. What if the explosion is to trap the retailers like me!!. That's why I call this as Benefit of doubt. If the direction of is right I just sail with the trade right inside the consolidation zone. If I am on the wrong side ! No worries My Money management rules and Protection Legs kicks in and saves my capital.
This Indicator Analyses the Volume, and Chart Patterns inside the Zones and if the price breaks the patterns, initiate the trades. You can trade with Dhan HQ or Algoji.
What this indicator is providing:
Based on the chart patterns and using the inputs provided for RISK and Money Management options, Indicator continuously scans for trading opportunities and provides alerts for possible trades. I have tried to capture some analytical inputs for one to think and take control over the Reward, Risk and Money management parameters to tweak the indicator accordingly.
Note: Indicated PNL is calculated on the Futures Chart with 2 Lots taken per trade.
If you are a Options Traders:
1. Auto Strike is inbuilt and can be traded only if you are trading via AlgoJi.
You will constantly be informed about trade summary, PNL and SL updates as per your preferred choice.
Enjoy!

Expansion Contraction IndicatorExpansion Contraction compares 2 price points (the high and the low), up or down through the 2 moving average channel (MAC) settings. Since Expansion Contraction measures every period (chart setting), it technically has “zero lag”. A second indicator compares 2 price points (the high and the low), up or down through 2 longer look-back moving average channel settings… Note: Ideally, this ratio usually produces a condition where a 2 standard deviation short term move (strong swing) equals approximately a 1 standard deviation long term move (trend strengthening).
Basically, if both the short term swing is expanding higher and the long term trend is expanding higher, then that signals the strongest part of the current swing higher (dark green bars). The strongest part of the current swing lower (dark red bars), occurs when both the short term swing is expanding lower and the long term trend is expanding lower.
Light green bars occur when the short term swing is expanding lower however; the long term trend is still bullish. Light red bars occur when the short term swing is higher however; the long term trend is still bearish. These indicate weakness in the current swing and Jake’s trailing stop rules should be considered.
When both the short term swing and the long term trend are within 1 standard deviation based on the short term swing, the resulting narrow range indicates a “not trending” or range bound condition.
When the short term swings are at or beyond +2 standard deviations, this setup is a leading indicator of the trend direction most of the time (not how long the trend will last). When the long term trend, up or down exceeds a 2 standard deviation move higher, the condition is considered over-bought or over-sold, respectively. Trade Navigator programming appears as a colored triangle (red/green). Use trailing stop rules.
Indicator created by Brian Latta based on Jake Bernstein’s principles of Moving Average Channel system.

[CBB] Volatility Squeeze ToyThe main concept and features of this script are adapted from Mark Whistler's book "Volatility Illuminated". I have deviated from the use cases and strategies presented in the book, but the 3 Bollinger Bands use his optimized settings as the default length and standard deviation multiplier. Further insights into Mark's concepts and volatility research were gained by reading and watching some of TV user DadShark's materials (www.tradingview.com).
This script has been through many refinements and feature cycles, and I've added unrelated complimentary features not present in the book. The indicator is better studied than described, and unless you have read the book, any short summary of the material will just make you squint and think about the wrong things.
Here is a limited outline of features and concepts:
1. 3 Bollinger Bands of different length and/or deviation multiplier. Perhaps think of them as representing the various time frames that compression and expansion cycles and events manifest in, and also the expression of range, speed and price distribution within those time frames. You can gain insight into the magnitude of events based on how the three bands interact and stay contained, or not. If volatility is significant enough, all "time frames" represented by the bands will eventually record the event and subsequent price action, but the early signals will come from the spasms of the shortest, most volatile band. Many times the short band will contract again before, or just as it reaches a longer band, but in extreme cases, volatility will explode and all bands at all time frames will erupt in succession. In these cases you will see additional color representing shorter bands (lower time frame volatility in concept) traveling outside of longer bands. It is worth taking a look at the price levels and candles where these volatility bands cross each other.
2. In addition to the mean of the bands, there are a variety of other moving averages available to gauge trend, range, and areas of interest. This is accomplished with variable VWAP, ATR, smoothing, and a special derived loosely from the difference between them.
3. The bands are also used to derive conditions under which volatility is considered compressed, or in "squeeze" . Under these conditions the candles will turn yellow. Depending on your chart settings and indicator settings, these zones can be completely useless or drag on through fairly significant price action. Or, the can give you fantastic levels to watch for breakouts. The point is that volatility is compressed during these conditions, and you should expect the inevitable once this condition ends. Sometimes you can find yourself in a nice fat trend straight away, other times you may blow an account because you gorged your position based on arbitrary bar color. It's not like that. Pay attention to the highest and lowest bars of these squeeze ranges, and carefully observe future price action when it returns to these squeeze ranges. This info is more and more valuable at higher time frames.
The 3 bands, a smoothed long trend VWAP, and the squeeze condition colored bars are all active by default. All features can be shown or hidden on the control panel.
There are some deep market insights to mine if you live with this one for a while. As with any indicator, blunt "buy/sell here" approaches will lead to loss and frustration. however , if you pay attention to squeeze range, band/moving average confluence, high volume and/or large range candles their open/close behavior around these areas and squeeze ranges, you will start to catch the beginning of some powerful momentum moves.
Enjoy!
ATR Volume DivergenceThe indicator measures ATR relative to VOLUME of each candle, marks the candles where there is more volume than in the previous one, but a lower ATR - signifying a compression in price movement - resistance. It also marks the candle where there is a greater ATR than in the previous candle, but lower volume - signifying an expansion in price movement - vacuum.
P.S. Bring indicator to FRONT to see the colored candles clearly
Bollinger Bands with Customizable Expansion DetectorJapanese below / 日本語説明は下記
Bollinger bands with customizable expansion signals
What’s new in this indicator?
This indicator allows users to customize Bollinger bands expansion signal with the conditions below.
1. Target bands
Which bands should be considered as expansion when price crossing?
Available options are plus/minus 1-3 σ.
2. Price
Which price should be considered as bands breakout
Available options are high, low and close
3. Band width increment(volatility)
When band width is N times wider than previous bar. N = ?
This parameter is regarded as volatility expansion, measuring how much band width gets wider than previous bar.
Band width is distance between each band and middle line(SMA).
Expansion signals are displayed when 1, 2 and 3 are all met.
For example, if you select parameters as follows, expansion signals are appeared when;
Bullish expansion:
When prices(highs) cross over plus 2 σ band with band width of the current candle is 1.15 times wider than previous bar.
Bearish expansion:
When prices(lows) cross under minus 2 σ band with band width of the current candle is 1.15 times wider than previous bar.
Selected parameters(Example)
1. 2σ
2. High/low
3. 1.15
Alert can be set when conditions above are met.
You can customize them to be best fit for you!

Price - Mean Reversion ExpansionA simple indicator, to plot the quantitatively the reversion and expansion of price from a set of means.
A green bar plots prices above the set of means. A bar plots prices below the set of means. A blue bar plots price entangled in the means. The height of the bars denotes the far-ness from the set of means.
A blue envelope over the bars is the average of this reversion/expansion. A "crossover" of any bar (red/green) over this envelope is indicated by a "green dot" a "crossunder" of any bar (red/green) under this envelope is indicated by a "red dot".
The small trend strength table (when enabled) on the right side below show in a easy manner the data presented in the " Mean Angles " indicator. Refer to description there for more details.
OG Take OffThis indicator is put in place to help you identify the 3 market phases.
Consolidation can be indicated by either dots or color coded candlesticks . You can use both. Consolidation zones are represented by the dotted lines.
A green arrow indicates a buy signal. A red arrow indicates a sell signal.
Theme allows you to change the color of the background to whatever you like.
To change the color of the moving average, you must uncheck "Modern Theme Trend MA Color" under 'Style'.
When price is above 50 moving average on the higher timeframe and the color of the candle is green on the higher time frame, you are in a long market. When price is below the 50 moving average and the color of the candle is red on the higher timeframe, you are in a short market.
Trend puts a trend cloud on the chart. When green and above the 50 moving average, you can assume the market is long. Look for buys on the smaller time frame. When red and below the 50 moving average, you can assume the market is short on the smaller time frame. You can also draw an average price line through the middle of the consolidation box to tell you the directional bias.
The moving average is set to 50 by default but can be changed. You can also add 2 more moving averages to the chart. (Options: SMA , EMA , SWMA , WMA , VWMA , HMA )
Consolidation on the inputs page allows you to see when the market is consolidating with dots and color change of the candlesticks . Opacity of the dots can be changed under 'Style' (Upper Band Dots/Lower Band Dots) You can assume when the dots are below the candlestick , price is buying; when the dots ae above the candlesticks , price is selling.
't' and 'b' represent tops and bottoms and can help you recognize finding the top and bottom on the daily when doing top down analysis. It can also help you recognize double tops, double bottoms, triple tops, etc.
This indicator is best used on the 1 hr or 4 hr time frame. If you zoom out on the chart, you can notice when the market is consolidating, when the market is in expansion phase, and when the market is trending. When the market is in expansion phase, you may see a lot of 'swing low/swing high' action. When the market is trending, it takes off and doesn't look back.
If you enter on the 5 min and ride the 1 hr trend, that is a great idea. If you enter on the 15 min and ride the 4 hr trend, that is an even better idea.
The TP levels can be changed according to your risk reward ratio.
Volume Contraction and ExpansionA simple indicator that shows volume expansion and contraction of a trend through colorization of the candles. It indicates the underlying volume support of a trend. This indicator might come in handy for any Elliott Wave analyst trying to incorporate volume into his analysis.
Exertion MeterHello traders, today I wanted to present you something special. I present you the Exertion Meter!
Created from scratch, this idea is based on a theory of mine called "Exertion".
Exertion occurs when price moves beyond the previous bar's range thus it has "exerted itself".
The idea is that when price moves a lot, it exerts a lot of energy which eventually leads to calmer motion, usually in the direction price has exerted itself.
Now, when price has exerted itself a lot in a particular direction, it's telling you that it will likely continue in that direction.
Once this happens, it will gradually calm down until price begins the cycle again, exerting itself in either the same or opposite direction.
This theory is similar to the theory of expansion & contraction phases.
This indicator attempts to show you where price has exerted itself by giving you a two lines cross signal.
The default settings are recommended, but experimentation is encouraged to fit your own personal system.
Both settings control the standard deviation line ( aka . Upper Bollinger Band ).
