HTF Candle Boxes for LTF Charts
This indicator allows you to show an outline of a Higher Time Frame (HTF) candle on a Lower Time Frame (LTF) chart. Options include selecting the HTF interval, and an option to either show a single shaded Box for the candle (High to Low), or a shaded box for the body (Open to Close) with the High to Low shown in an unshaded box. The purpose is to easily visualise what the previous HTF candles look like as you are working on the lower charts, for example was yesterday's candle Bullish, Bearsish, indecision, a Doji etc.

super SSL [ALZ]This script is designed and optimized for MULTI TIME
by Ali Zebardast (ALZ)
1.in part of ssl
Original Version credits to Mihkel00
Actual Version i just set alerts and change the parameters for BTCUSDT 1min Chart.
He designed for daily time. I tried to optimize 1 min time-frame .
And fix the errors with OTT
"This script has a SSL / Baseline (you can choose between the SSL or MA), a secondary SSL for continiuation trades and a third SSL for exit trades.
Alerts added for Baseline entries, SSL2 continuations, Exits.
Baseline has a Keltner Channel setting for "in zone" Gray Candles
Added "Candle Size > 1 ATR" Diamonds from my old script with the criteria of being within Baseline ATR range."
2.in part of Range
two Filter Buy and Sell for 3min
Wait For Bar close
ssl2 :Be under the candle for buy
and The bar color must confirm the order of purchase (Blue)
3.in part of OTT
when candles close over HOTT, means an UPTREND SIGNAL
and to Fuchia when candles begin closing under LOTT line to indicate a DOWNTREND SIGNAL.
FLAT ZONE is highlighted also to have the maximum concentration on sideways market conditions.
There are three quantitative parameters in this indicator:
The first parameter in the OTT indicator set by the two parameters is the period/length.
OTT lines will be much sensitive to trend movements if it is smaller.
And vice versa, will be less sensitive when it is longer.
As the period increases it will become less sensitive to little trends and price actions.
In this way, your choice of period, will be closely related to which of the sort of trends you are interested in.
The OTT percent parameter in OTT is an optimization coefficient. Just like in the period
small values are better at capturing short term fluctuations, while large values
will be more suitable for long-term trends.
The final adjustable quantitative parameter is HIGHEST and LOWEST length which is the source of calculations.

[Mad] Triple Bollinger Bands MTFThese are classic triple Bollinger bands with different multipliers
You can change the time frame plotted,
for example, you can show a 1-hour chart, but plot 6-hour Bollinger.
Since I haven't found any other OpenSource variant that can plot the 3 bands in a different time frame, here is my script for you
en.wikipedia.org
----
additional you can see in this script, how to move data around with arrays instead of multiple variables.
This way you can cut down security calls to a minimum. (look at the transfer- and bollarray)
Roof and Floors From Actieve InversionesImagine a Funny and visual way to understand Highest Highs and Lowest Lows. That's the way this indicator was conceived.
The way it Works:
The indicator plots lines in highest highs or lowest lows from a period of "Bars", you only have to set the number of Bars you wanna use and the indicator Makes all the stuff.
This is a Long term Indicator, so it can Show useful Floors or Roofs from higher Timeframes:
Cristal = Five Min Bars
Paper = thirty Min Bars
Plastic = 1 Hour Bars
Wood = 4 hours Bars
Metal = Daily Bars
But wait... There is something better than that...
If The Floor or Roof Brokes, the indicator will plot a dashed line and a label ¨Broken Roof or Floor¨ u can use it to set a Limit Order or Stop Order, and wait for the pullback.
Do you want some useful Advice ? Check the junctions from Floor or Roofs that are overlayed in some level.
Have Fun and good trading!!!
MTF Stochastic ScannerThis Stochastic scanner can be use to identify overbought and oversold of 10 symbols over multiple timeframes
it will give you a quick overview which pair is more overbough or more oversold and also signals tops and bottoms in the AVG row
light red/green cell = weak bearish (Stoch = 30-20) / bullish (Stoch = 70-80)
medium red/green cell = bearish (Stoch = 20-10) / bullish (Stoch = 80-90)
dark red/green cell = strong bearish (Stoch <= 10) / bullish (Stoch >= 90)
gray cell = neutral (Stoch = 30-70)
Usage
If AVG (average of all 4 timeframes) falls below 20, the cell will get green, indicating a good time to enter long (buy)
If AVG (average of all 4 timeframes) rises above 80, the cell will get red, indicating a good time to enter short (sell)
Use the "MTF Stochastic Scanner" in combination with the " MTF RSI Scanner "
to find tops (RSI MTF avg >=70 AND Stochastic MTF avg >= 80)
or bottoms (RSI MTF avg <= 30 AND Stochastic MTF avg <= 20)
Here is how the two MTF scanners looked on Nov 08 2021 (ATH) »
and here how the MTF scanners looked on June 21 2022
use TradingViews Replay function to check how it would have worked in the past and when not.
As always… there NOT a single indicator that can show to the top & bottom 100% every single time. So use with caution, with other indicators and/or deeper understanding of technicals analysis ☝️☝️☝️
Settings
You can change the timeframes, symbols, Stochastic settings, overbought/oversold levels and colors to your liking
Drag the table onto the price chart, if you want to use it as an overlay.
NOTE:
Because of the 4x10 security requests, it can take up to 1 minute for changed settings to take effect! Please be patient 🙃
If you have any idea on how to optimise the code, please feel free to share 🙏

FVG Screener (Nephew_Sam_)// This source code is subject to the terms of the Mozilla Public License 2.0 at mozilla.org
// © nephew_sam_
FVG's are a skip in liquidity, zones where prices move quickly away from, which causes orders to not be fully filled in there. Think of it as weekend gaps, but during trading hours.
This indicator plots a table which looks for when price enters a MTF Fair Value Gap.
Note : The indicator will work fine when finding fvgs that are on a higher timeframe than your chart but if it is trying to find them on a lower timeframe it might cause repainting.
Eg. your chart is on the 1hr and its finding fvg's on the 5 min
Note: When you are on a timeframe much different from the indicator timeframe, the computation will be quite slow.
Eg. your chart is on the 5 min and the indicator is trying to find fvg's on the daily or weekly timeframe.
To fix this issue, only input timeframes that are close to your chart timeframe.
I split my chart into two, the left side indicator only has HTF (1hr, 4hr, D) and the right side indicator is LTF (5m, 15m, 30m)
The code is open source for anyone who can make this more effecient.
Titans Engulfing Retracement ZonesThe Titan Engulfing Retracement Zones indicator detects Engulfing Candlesticks on a higher user defined timeframe, and uses that event to plot retracement and extension levels on the chart for ease of users' chart reading and trade execution. The four retracement levels, two of which delimit the target entry zone, and another two delimiting the target exit zone, are also user defined.
The user of this indicator is advised that the default levels provided are unoptimized. The user of this indicator is advised to use this indicator at his or her own risk.
To further filter out the results of Engulfing Candlestick detection, a long wick condition has been included into the detection mechanics.
MomentumThis indicator will give you the momentum readings (rate of change) for five lookback periods (15m, 60m, 4hr, 24hr, 48hr).
This is useful when backtesting or retroactively logging the readings into your trade journal (there is no way to roll back the Forex Factory momentum screener that I know of).
There are lines drawing in the background which are set to 100% transparency by default, so don't be puzzled when you occasionally see the bubbles for the line plots being highlighted on your chart.
Message me with any questions or suggestions.
Fair Value Gap█ OVERVIEW
This indicator displays the Fair Value Gap of the current timeframe and an additional higher timeframe. For each FVG the gaps act as targets creating bullish and bearish gaps that are often filled.
█ FEATURES
MTF Options
MidPoint FIll
Delete Old On Fill
Label FVG Timeframe
MTF Options
Enabling the MTF Options will allow the user to use the "MTF Timeframe" setting to choose what HTF Fair Value Gap to display
MidPoint FIll
A line plot at the Half way point will be included in the Fair Value Gap, this will be used to delete the gap when reached instead of a full fill.
Delete Old On Fill
Deletes historical Fair Value Gaps when filled.
Label FVG Timeframe
Labels Every Fair Value gap with there relevant timeframe to make it easier to determine which gap is being filled.
█ HOW TO USE IT
The indicator is quite straight forward in its application, providing users with targets that are often filled as they are seen as market imbalance.
Just applying it to your chart will provide the existing Fair Value Gaps. MTF Confluence is helpful in seeing what is happening on the macro perspective.
█ SUGGESTION
My suggestion for clarity is to use a different color to some degree between the MTF and Current TF as Opposed to text, keeps the chart clear.
█ LIMITATIONS OF PINE (Please read)
I see many users going on different indicators with MTF in mind and trying to use it for LTF data e.g. 1hour chart, and selecting 5min in chart settings.
This is not recommended by the team themselves and should be noted for use always use HTF: www.tradingview.com
To understand how to use fair value gaps I recommend learning about the subject some more, searching online will provide you resources. The internet is your friend when learning. All the best.
MTF Ichimoku Analysis[tanayroy]Ichimoku can state market conditions better than any indicator or group of indicators(My own perspective). Ichimoku works seamlessly in different timeframes. Analysis of Ichimoku in different timeframes can give you the bigger picture of the market.
This indicator analyzes six different timeframes with Ichimoku in depth. Default timeframes are 5M, 30M, 60M, D, W, and M. You can change the default timeframes from the setting.
As we are dealing with many relations, we can define the relationship with a simple score to get the trend strength.
Ichimoku Analysis:
Relationship of Price(P) with Ichimoku indicators: Here we are analyzing the current price and Ichimoku indicators. The position of price with respect to Ichimoku indicators states the market condition clearly.
Price(P) and Kumo(C): P > C = Bullish (↑). P < C = Bearish (↓). P <> C = consolidation or no trend(↔). Score: ±2
Price(P) and Tenkan Sen(T): P >= T = Bullish (↑). P < T = Bearish (↓). Score: ±0.5
Price(P) and Kijun Sen(K): P >= K = Bullish (↑). P < T = Bearish (↓). Score: ±0.5
Price(26 bars ago) and Chiku(L): L >= P(26) = Bullish (↑). L < P(26) = Bearish (↓). Score: ±0.5
Tenkan Sen and Kijun Sen Relation. Tenkan Sen depicts short-term trends and Kijun depicts mid-term trends. So this relationship is important for analyzing the current trend of the market.
Tenkan Sen(T) and Kijun Sen(K): T >= K = Bullish (↑). T < K = Bearish (↓). Score: ±2
Direction of Ichimoku indicators.
The direction of Ichimoku indicators helps us to understand the trend strength.
Tenkan Sen's(T) direction: Upward slope = Bullish (↑). Downward slope = Bearish (↓). Flat=consolidation or no trend(↔). Score: ±0.5
Kijun Sen's(K) direction: Upward slope = Bullish (↑). Downward slope = Bearish (↓). Flat=consolidation or no trend(↔). Score: ±0.5
Senkou A(A) direction: Upward slope = Bullish (↑). Downward slope = Bearish (↓). Flat=consolidation or no trend(↔). Score: ±0.5
Senkou B(A) direction: Upward slope = Bullish (↑). Downward slope = Bearish (↓). Flat=consolidation or no trend(↔). Score: ±0.5
Cloud and other Ichimoku indicators:
Kumo or Cloud is very important in the Ichimoku system. Analyzing its relation with other indicators is important to detect the overall market condition.
Kumo(C) and Tenkan Sen(T): T >= C = Bullish (↑). T < C = Bearish (↓). T <> C = consolidation or no trend(↔). Score: ±0.5
Kumo(C) and Kijun Sen(K): K >= C = Bullish (↑). K < C = Bearish (↓). K <> C = consolidation or no trend(↔). Score: ±0.5
Kumo(C) and Chiku(L): L >= C = Bullish (↑). L < C = Bearish (↓). L <> C = consolidation or no trend(↔). Score: ±0.5
Kumo(C) Shadow: By analyzing the last 252 bars(you can change this option) we are analyzing the Kumo shadow behind the current price. If Kumo shadow is present behind the price, trend strength will be weakened. Score: ±0.5
Kumo(C) Future (Senkou A(A) and Senkou B(B)): A >= B = Bullish (↑). A < B = Bearish (↓). Score: ±0.5
Chiku(L) Analysis:
Vertical and Horizontal Chiku analysis will tell us about the possible consolidation of the price.
Chiku Vertical: if the price consolidates for the next 5 bars(You can change this option) will it run into the price. Please remember we are placing the current price 26 bars ago and we are interested to see the current price in open space for a clear trend. Score: ±0.5
Chikou Horizontal: If Chiku is in open space (Not running into the price), we want to review Chiku vertically i.e how much percentage of fall or rise of the current price can cause Chiku to run into the price.
So, the maximum trend score is ±10.5.
Ichimoku signals:
We know, that the crossover of Ichimoku indicators provides important signals. In this section, you can see all the crossover i.e when they happened (Bars ago)
Distance between price and Tenkan Sen and Kijun Sen: We know, the price come back to Tenkan/Kijun if it goes far away from Tenkan/Kijun. So it is important to note the distance between Tenkan and Price.
Please note that this indicator is not a strategy or buy/sell signal. It just shows you the picture of Ichimoku in multiple timeframes. I am working on some strategies of Ichimoku and will publish the same when my research is complete.
If you want to analyze Ichimoku in a single timeframe, please review the following indicator.
To maintain the table size you can use the shorthand notation from the setting.

MTF previous high and low quarter levelsDescription
An experimental script that prints quarter levels of the previous timeframe's high and low to the current timeframe. The idea is quite simple and is basically the Fibonacci pivoted on the previous high and low with quarter level settings (0,0.25,0.5,0.75,1 etc). The default setting is the previous daily high and low but can be customized on user discretion.
New quarter levels are printed after the close of the previous timeframe and open of the new timeframe (user's timeframe setting)
How To Use
Levels should not be used blindly. Levels can be used as confluence when aligned with high probability supply and demand zones, support, resistance, order blocks, and so on.
Credit to @HeWhoMustNotBeNamed for the Previous High/Low MTF indicator code and @mrbirman for the idea to put this together.
PercentagefromEMAEMA (Exponential moving average) often acts as dynamic support and resistance and trend detector and the further price is away from ema the more it has chance to reverse, hence percentage levels gives a range to exit your trades.
*choose your favourite timeframe and EMA length , alter percentages as you wish to generate Take profit levels
thank you..
Happy Trading.
Futures Exchange SessionsIn the 24-hour trading of the futures market, this indicator provides the user with full customization concerning the most important factor: time. This indicator is centered around three main visualizations: labels, backgrounds, and lines that minimalistically allows the user to keep track of the many time intervals that occur during a futures market 24-hour trading cycle. It also artfully displays the previous days highs and lows. And everything can be individually toggled and configured so the user can get exactly what they want.
Labels
There are three main futures market sessions in a 24-hour period: the London, New York, and Asian Sessions. Each session is given an independent label for the open and close times. The six labels (LO, LC, NYO, NYC, AO, AC) can be individually toggled on or off, the label background color changed, the text switched between black or white, and the height can be lowered or raised. These customizations are intended to give the user full control of the session they are interested in at the moment.
Backgrounds
Backgrounds are the heart of this indicator. There are different colored transparent backgrounds for each of the futures sessions. So the user can clearly see the session they want to highlight without cluttering their chart and getting in the way of analyzing the candles.
If you are familiar with the London and New York killzones, these backgrounds are each individually configured.
If you are familiar with the Inner Circle Trader’s (ICT) NY Morning and Afternoon sessions, these are available. Also, most times weird price action occurs during the lunch hour of these sessions. The London and New York have a background for their respective lunch hours so the user is never caught of guard during these periods.
Lines
The markets are constantly looking for liquidity. To help the user see runs on liquidity, this indicator projects the previous days highs and lows on to the current day with a line and a price label. The line make it very easy to see where price may be headed. See the image below for the perfect example of this phenomenon. Each of the lines can be independently controlled by color, style, and width. And even the labels can be toggled on or off if the user would prefer just to see the lines. Lastly, there is a line that marks the midnight open price in EST.
Special Notes
This indicator is specifically designed for futures tickers.
All of the backgrounds are not designed to be turned on a once (there are many that overlap). They are designed to give the user ultimate control over exactly what timeframe backgrounds to display on their charts.
The labels only appear when timeframe is 1 hour or less.
Binance CHOP Dashboard by KziHere is a Dashboard to find the opportunuty of bigs moves with 20 pairs.
The Dashboard is too big for the phone view. I thinks we can use it only on computer view.
How it's work ?
I look for the CHOP on Weekly and Daily time frame
The CHOP give the "tension" of the pair.
So i look for the biggest "tension" to take the "big mooves"
I look for the align tension between weekly and daily
The CHOP can be 0 to 100 , the result is:
(Weeky CHOP x Daily CHOP) = 0 to 10 000
To make the result easy to read, i divide so that the "note" is between 0 and 10.
If you have more than 3 /10 = RED => HOT Opporunity for big mooves
If you have less than 1/10 = BLUE => COLD opporunity
Thanks for your comment,
Kzi
The code is well.
But i think there is an opportunity to do it better with some for loop.
Is some of you do it, please let's me know.
DashBoard Alt Season by KziHere is a Dashboard to have an overview of the Alt Season oportunity.
Multiple time frame (Month / Week / Daily /4H)
How to use it?
You have 4 columns
TOTAL Crypto / Btc dominance / Btc Price / Alt ?
The alt? column is the resulte of the price and dominance of btc + 1 point with the total crypto
BTC Dominance UP ? Yes = Négatif for ALTS
/// Btc Price UP ?= > Yes = Positif for ALTS
NO = super négatif for ALTS
No = Positif for ALTS
/// Btc Price UP ?= > Yes = super Positif for ALTS
NO = Neutral
The total market just smooth the total.
If Alt columm is Green= It's OK
If Alt columm is orange = carrefull
If Alt Columm is red = leave the alt
You have to considered that you look on the time frame where you want to trade.
The overtime frame help to understand the bigger view.
Hop you like it and give comment to help the évolutions.

Saty ATR LevelsThis indicator uses the previous period close and +/- 1 ATR to display significant day, multiday, swing, and position trading levels including:
- Trigger clouds for possibly going long/short @ 23.6 fib
- Mid-range level at 61.8 fib
- Full range level at +/- 1 ATR (from previous close)
- Extension level at 161.8 fib
Additionally, a convenient info table is provided that shows trend, range utilization, and numerical long/short values.
This indicator is most beneficial when you combine it with price, volume, and trend analysis. For educational content please check out the indicator website at atrlevels.com.
I am constantly improving this indicator, please use this one if you want to continue to get new features, bug fixes, and support.
Mobo BandsThis indicator is the Mobo Bands (Momentum Breakout Bands). These bands are bollinger bands that have an adjusted standard deviation. There are Buy signals when it has momentum breakouts above the bands for moves to the upside and Sell signals when it has momentum breakouts below the bands for moves to the downside. The bands simply suggest that all markets have periods of chop which we all know to be true. While the price is inside the bands it is said to be trendless. Once the breakouts happen you can take trades in the breakout direction. I like to use these to swing trade options on the hourly timeframe but the bands should work on most instruments and timeframes. I like to use it to take swings on SPY on the 1 hour chart for entries and use the Daily chart for trend confirmation.
