Candle Body Break (M/W/D/4H/1H)v5# Candle Body Break (M/W/D/4H/1H) Multi-Timeframe Indicator
This indicator identifies and plots **Candle Body Breaks** across five key timeframes: Monthly (M), Weekly (W), Daily (D), 4-Hour (4H), and 1-Hour (1H).
## Core Logic: Candle Body Break
The core concept is a break in the swing high/low defined by the body of the previous counter-trend candle(s). It focuses purely on **closing price breaks** of remembered highs/lows established by full candle bodies (close > open or close < open).
1. **Remembering the Swing:**
* After a bullish break (upward trend), the indicator waits for the first **bearish (close < open) candle** to appear. This bearish candle's high (`rememberedHigh`) and low (`rememberedLow`) are saved as the **breakout level**.
* Subsequent bearish candles that make a new low update this saved level, continuously adjusting the level to the most significant recent resistance/support established by the body's range.
2. **Executing the Break:**
* **Bull Break (Long signal):** Occurs when a **bullish candle's closing price** exceeds the last remembered bearish high (`rememberedHigh`).
* **Bear Break (Short signal):** Occurs when a **bearish candle's closing price** falls below the last remembered bullish low (`rememberedLow_Bull`).
Once a break occurs, the memory is cleared, and the indicator waits for the next counter-trend candle to establish a new level.
## Features
* **Multi-Timeframe Analysis:** Displays break lines and labels for M, W, D, 4H, and 1H timeframes on any chart.
* **Timeframe Filtering:** Break lines are only shown for timeframes **equal to or higher** than the current chart timeframe (e.g., on a 4H chart, only 4H, D, W, and M breaks are displayed).
* **Candidate Lines (Dotted Green):** Plots the current potential breakout level (the remembered high/low) that must be broken to trigger the next signal.
* **Direction Table:** A table in the top right corner summarizes the latest break direction (⇧ Up / ⇩ Down) for all five timeframes. This can be optionally limited to the 4H chart only.
* **1H Alert:** Triggers an alert when a 1-Hour break is detected.

Kalman Filter [DCAUT]█ Kalman Filter
📊 ORIGINALITY & INNOVATION
The Kalman Filter represents an important adaptation of aerospace signal processing technology to financial market analysis. Originally developed by Rudolf E. Kalman in 1960 for navigation and guidance systems, this implementation brings the algorithm's noise reduction capabilities to price trend analysis.
This implementation addresses a common challenge in technical analysis: the trade-off between smoothness and responsiveness. Traditional moving averages must choose between being smooth (with increased lag) or responsive (with increased noise). The Kalman Filter improves upon this limitation through its recursive estimation approach, which continuously balances historical trend information with current price data based on configurable noise parameters.
The key advancement lies in the algorithm's adaptive weighting mechanism. Rather than applying fixed weights to historical data like conventional moving averages, the Kalman Filter dynamically adjusts its trust between the predicted trend and observed prices. This allows it to provide smoother signals during stable periods while maintaining responsiveness during genuine trend changes, helping to reduce whipsaws in ranging markets while not missing significant price movements.
📐 MATHEMATICAL FOUNDATION
The Kalman Filter operates through a two-phase recursive process:
Prediction Phase:
The algorithm first predicts the next state based on the previous estimate:
State Prediction: Estimates the next value based on current trend
Error Covariance Prediction: Calculates uncertainty in the prediction
Update Phase:
Then updates the prediction based on new price observations:
Kalman Gain Calculation: Determines the weight given to new measurements
State Update: Combines prediction with observation based on calculated gain
Error Covariance Update: Adjusts uncertainty estimate for next iteration
Core Parameters:
Process Noise (Q): Represents uncertainty in the trend model itself. Higher values indicate the trend can change more rapidly, making the filter more responsive to price changes.
Measurement Noise (R): Represents uncertainty in price observations. Higher values indicate less trust in individual price points, resulting in smoother output.
Kalman Gain Formula:
The Kalman Gain determines how much weight to give new observations versus predictions:
K = P(k|k-1) / (P(k|k-1) + R)
Where:
K is the Kalman Gain (0 to 1)
P(k|k-1) is the predicted error covariance
R is the measurement noise parameter
When K approaches 1, the filter trusts new measurements more (responsive).
When K approaches 0, the filter trusts its prediction more (smooth).
This dynamic adjustment mechanism allows the filter to adapt to changing market conditions automatically, providing an advantage over fixed-weight moving averages.
📊 COMPREHENSIVE SIGNAL ANALYSIS
Visual Trend Indication:
The Kalman Filter line provides color-coded trend information:
Green Line: Indicates the filter value is rising, suggesting upward price momentum
Red Line: Indicates the filter value is falling, suggesting downward price momentum
Gray Line: Indicates sideways movement with no clear directional bias
Crossover Signals:
Price-filter crossovers generate trading signals:
Golden Cross: Price crosses above the Kalman Filter line, suggests potential bullish momentum development, may indicate a favorable environment for long positions, filter will naturally turn green as it adapts to price moving higher
Death Cross: Price crosses below the Kalman Filter line, suggests potential bearish momentum development, may indicate consideration for position reduction or shorts, filter will naturally turn red as it adapts to price moving lower
Trend Confirmation:
The filter serves as a dynamic trend baseline:
Price Consistently Above Filter: Confirms established uptrend
Price Consistently Below Filter: Confirms established downtrend
Frequent Crossovers: Suggests ranging or choppy market conditions
Signal Reliability Factors:
Signal quality varies based on market conditions:
Higher reliability in trending markets with sustained directional moves
Lower reliability in choppy, range-bound conditions with frequent reversals
Parameter adjustment can help adapt to different market volatility levels
🎯 STRATEGIC APPLICATIONS
Trend Following Strategy:
Use the Kalman Filter as a dynamic trend baseline:
Enter long positions when price crosses above the filter
Enter short positions when price crosses below the filter
Exit when price crosses back through the filter in the opposite direction
Monitor filter slope (color) for trend strength confirmation
Dynamic Support/Resistance:
The filter can act as a moving support or resistance level:
In uptrends: Filter often provides dynamic support for pullbacks
In downtrends: Filter often provides dynamic resistance for bounces
Price rejections from the filter can offer entry opportunities in trend direction
Filter breaches may signal potential trend reversals
Multi-Timeframe Analysis:
Combine Kalman Filters across different timeframes:
Higher timeframe filter identifies primary trend direction
Lower timeframe filter provides precise entry and exit timing
Trade only in direction of higher timeframe trend for better probability
Use lower timeframe crossovers for position entry/exit within major trend
Volatility-Adjusted Configuration:
Adapt parameters to match market conditions:
Low Volatility Markets (Forex majors, stable stocks): Use lower process noise for stability, use lower measurement noise for sensitivity
Medium Volatility Markets (Most equities): Process noise default (0.05) provides balanced performance, measurement noise default (1.0) for general-purpose filtering
High Volatility Markets (Cryptocurrencies, volatile stocks): Use higher process noise for responsiveness, use higher measurement noise for noise reduction
Risk Management Integration:
Use filter as a trailing stop-loss level in trending markets
Tighten stops when price moves significantly away from filter (overextension)
Wider stops in early trend formation when filter is just establishing direction
Consider position sizing based on distance between price and filter
📋 DETAILED PARAMETER CONFIGURATION
Source Selection:
Determines which price data feeds the algorithm:
OHLC4 (default): Uses average of open, high, low, close for balanced representation
Close: Focuses purely on closing prices for end-of-period analysis
HL2: Uses midpoint of high and low for range-based analysis
HLC3: Typical price, gives more weight to closing price
HLCC4: Weighted close price, emphasizes closing values
Process Noise (Q) - Adaptation Speed Control:
This parameter controls how quickly the filter adapts to changes:
Technical Meaning:
Represents uncertainty in the underlying trend model
Higher values allow the estimated trend to change more rapidly
Lower values assume the trend is more stable and slow-changing
Practical Impact:
Lower Values: Produces very smooth output with minimal noise, slower to respond to genuine trend changes, best for long-term trend identification, reduces false signals in choppy markets
Medium Values: Balanced responsiveness and smoothness, suitable for swing trading applications, default (0.05) works well for most markets
Higher Values: More responsive to price changes, may produce more false signals in ranging markets, better for short-term trading and day trading, captures trend changes earlier, adjust freely based on market characteristics
Measurement Noise (R) - Smoothing Control:
This parameter controls how much the filter trusts individual price observations:
Technical Meaning:
Represents uncertainty in price measurements
Higher values indicate less trust in individual price points
Lower values make each price observation more influential
Practical Impact:
Lower Values: More reactive to each price change, less smoothing with more noise in output, may produce choppy signals
Medium Values: Balanced smoothing and responsiveness, default (1.0) provides general-purpose filtering
Higher Values: Heavy smoothing for very noisy markets, reduces whipsaws significantly but increases lag in trend change detection, best for cryptocurrency and highly volatile assets, can use larger values for extreme smoothing
Parameter Interaction:
The ratio between Process Noise and Measurement Noise determines overall behavior:
High Q / Low R: Very responsive, minimal smoothing
Low Q / High R: Very smooth, maximum lag reduction
Balanced Q and R: Middle ground for most applications
Optimization Guidelines:
Start with default values (Q=0.05, R=1.0)
If too many false signals: Increase R or decrease Q
If missing trend changes: Decrease R or increase Q
Test across different market conditions before live use
Consider different settings for different timeframes
📈 PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS & COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGES
Comparison with Traditional Moving Averages:
Versus Simple Moving Average (SMA):
The Kalman Filter typically responds faster to genuine trend changes
Produces smoother output than SMA of comparable length
Better noise reduction in ranging markets
More configurable for different market conditions
Versus Exponential Moving Average (EMA):
Similar responsiveness but with better noise filtering
Less prone to whipsaws in choppy conditions
More adaptable through dual parameter control (Q and R)
Can be tuned to match or exceed EMA responsiveness while maintaining smoothness
Versus Hull Moving Average (HMA):
Different noise reduction approach (recursive estimation vs. weighted calculation)
Kalman Filter offers more intuitive parameter adjustment
Both reduce lag effectively, but through different mechanisms
Kalman Filter may handle sudden volatility changes more gracefully
Response Characteristics:
Lag Time: Moderate and configurable through parameter adjustment
Noise Reduction: Good to excellent, particularly in volatile conditions
Trend Detection: Effective across multiple timeframes
False Signal Rate: Typically lower than simple moving averages in ranging markets
Computational Efficiency: Efficient recursive calculation suitable for real-time use
Optimal Use Cases:
Markets with mixed trending and ranging periods
Assets with moderate to high volatility requiring noise filtering
Multi-timeframe analysis requiring consistent methodology
Systematic trading strategies needing reliable trend identification
Situations requiring balance between responsiveness and smoothness
Known Limitations:
Parameters require adjustment for different market volatility levels
May still produce false signals during extreme choppy conditions
No single parameter set works optimally for all market conditions
Requires complementary indicators for comprehensive analysis
Historical performance characteristics may not persist in changing market conditions
USAGE NOTES
This indicator is designed for technical analysis and educational purposes. The Kalman Filter's effectiveness varies with market conditions, tending to perform better in markets with clear trending phases interrupted by consolidation. Like all technical indicators, it has limitations and should not be used as the sole basis for trading decisions, but rather as part of a comprehensive trading approach.
Algorithm performance varies with market conditions, and past characteristics do not guarantee future results. Always test thoroughly with different parameter settings across various market conditions before using in live trading. No technical indicator can predict future price movements with certainty, and all trading involves risk of loss.

VWAP / ORB / VP & POCThis is an all-in-one technical analysis tool designed to give you a comprehensive view of the market on a single chart. It combines three powerful indicators—VWAP, Opening Range, and Volume Profile—to help you identify key price levels, understand intraday trends, and spot areas of high liquidity.
What It Does
The indicator plots three distinct components on your chart:
Volume-Weighted Average Price (VWAP): A benchmark that shows the average price a security has traded at throughout the day, based on both price and volume. It's often used by institutional traders to gauge whether they are getting a good price. The script also plots standard deviation or percentage-based bands around the VWAP line, which can act as dynamic support and resistance.
Opening Range Breakout (ORB): A tool that highlights the high and low of the initial trading period of a session (e.g., the first 15 minutes). The script draws lines for the opening price, range high, and range low for the rest of the session. It also colors the chart with zones to visually separate price action above, below, and within this critical opening range.
Volume Profile (VP): A powerful study that shows trading activity over a set number of bars at specific price levels. Unlike traditional volume that is plotted over time, this is plotted on the price axis. It helps you instantly see where the most and least trading has occurred, identifying significant levels like the Point of Control (POC)—the single price with the most volume—and the Value Area (VA), where the majority of trading took place.
How to Use It for Trading
The real strength of this indicator comes from finding confluence, where two or more of its components signal the same key level.
Identifying Support & Resistance: The POC, VWAP bands, Opening Range high/low, and session open price are all powerful levels to watch. When price approaches one of these levels, you can anticipate a potential reaction (a bounce or a breakout).
Gauging Intraday Trend: A simple rule of thumb is to consider the intraday trend bullish when the price is trading above the VWAP and bearish when it is trading below the VWAP.
Finding High-Value Zones: The Volume Profile’s Value Area (VA) shows you where the market has accepted a price. Trading within the VA is considered "fair value," while prices outside of it are "unfair." Reversals often happen when the price tries to re-enter the Value Area from the outside.
Settings:
Here’s a breakdown of all the settings you can change to customize the indicator to your liking.
Volume Profile Settings:
Number of Bars: How many of the most recent bars to use for the calculation. A higher number gives a broader profile.
Row Size: The number of price levels (rows) in the profile. Higher numbers give a more detailed, granular view.
Value Area Volume %: The percentage of total volume to include in the Value Area (standard is 70%).
Horizontal Offset: Moves the Volume Profile further to the right to avoid overlapping with recent price action.
Colors & Styles: Customize the colors for the POC line, Value Area, and the up/down volume bars.
VWAP Settings:
Anchor Period: Resets the VWAP calculation at the start of a new Session, Week, Month, Year, etc. You can even anchor it to corporate events like Earnings or Splits.
Source: The price source used in the calculation (default is hlc3, the average of the high, low, and close).
Bands Calculation Mode:
Standard Deviation: The bands are based on statistical volatility.
Percentage: The bands are a fixed percentage away from the VWAP line.
Bands Multiplier: Sets the distance of the bands from the VWAP. You can enable and configure up to three sets of bands.
ORB Settings (Opening Range)
Opening Range Timeframe: The duration of the opening range (e.g., 15 for 15 minutes, 60 for the first hour).
Market Session & Time Zone: Crucial for ensuring the range is calculated at the correct time for the asset you're trading.
Line & Zone Styles: Full customization for the colors, thickness, and style (Solid, Dashed, Dotted) of the High, Low, and Opening Price lines, as well as the background colors for the zones above, below, and within the range.
Breaout and followthroughThis indicator is designed to identify and highlight a single, powerful entry signal at the beginning of a new trend. It filters for high-volatility breakout bars that show strong directional conviction, helping traders catch the initial momentum of a potential move. It will only paint one bullish or bearish signal after a trend change is detected, preventing repeat signals during a sustained move.
Core Concept
The indicator combines four key concepts to generate high-probability signals:
Trend Direction: It first establishes the overall trend (bullish or bearish) using a configurable Exponential or Simple Moving Average (EMA/SMA).
Volatility Expansion: It looks for bars with a larger-than-average range by comparing the bar's size to the Average True Range (ATR). This helps identify moments of increased market interest.
Closing Strength (IBS): It uses the Internal Bar Strength (IBS) to measure directional conviction. A high IBS (closing near the top) suggests bullish strength, while a low IBS (closing near the bottom) suggests bearish pressure.
Breakout Confirmation: As an optional but powerful filter, it can confirm the signal by ensuring the bar is breaking above the high or below the low of a user-defined number of previous bars.
A signal is only generated on the first bar that meets all these criteria after the price crosses the trend-defining moving average, making it ideal for capturing the start of a new swing.
Features
Bullish Signals (Green): Highlights the first bar in an uptrend that is larger than the ATR, closes with a high IBS (>70), and optionally breaks out above the recent highs.
Bearish Signals (Red): Highlights the first bar in a downtrend that is larger than the ATR, closes with a low IBS (<30), and optionally breaks out below the recent lows.
"First Signal Only" Logic: The script is hard-coded to show only the initial signal in a new trend, filtering out noise and redundant signals.
Fully Customizable Trend Filter:
Choose between EMA or SMA for trend definition.
Set the MA length (default is a short-term 7-period MA).
Option to show or hide the moving average on the chart.
Optional Breakout Filter:
Enable or disable the requirement for the signal bar to break the high/low of previous bars.
Customize the lookback period for the breakout confirmation.
How to Use
This indicator can be used as a primary signal for a trend-following or momentum-based trading system.
Look for a Green Bar (Bullish Signal): This suggests the start of a potential uptrend. Consider it a signal for a long entry. A logical stop-loss could be placed below the low of the highlighted signal bar.
Look for a Red Bar (Bearish Signal): This suggests the start of a potential downtrend. Consider it a signal for a short entry. A logical stop-loss could be placed above the high of the highlighted signal bar.
Adjust Settings: Use the settings menu to configure the indicator to your preferred market and timeframe. A longer Trend MA Length will result in fewer, more long-term signals, while a shorter length will be more responsive.
As with any tool, this indicator is best used in conjunction with other forms of analysis, such as market structure, support/resistance levels, and proper risk management.
BOCS Channel Scalper Indicator - Mean Reversion Alert System# BOCS Channel Scalper Indicator - Mean Reversion Alert System
## WHAT THIS INDICATOR DOES:
This is a mean reversion trading indicator that identifies consolidation channels through volatility analysis and generates alert signals when price enters entry zones near channel boundaries. **This indicator version is designed for manual trading with comprehensive alert functionality.** Unlike automated strategies, this tool sends notifications (via popup, email, SMS, or webhook) when trading opportunities occur, allowing you to manually review and execute trades. The system assumes price will revert to the channel mean, identifying scalp opportunities as price reaches extremes and preparing to bounce back toward center.
## INDICATOR VS STRATEGY - KEY DISTINCTION:
**This is an INDICATOR with alerts, not an automated strategy.** It does not execute trades automatically. Instead, it:
- Displays visual signals on your chart when entry conditions are met
- Sends customizable alerts to your device/email when opportunities arise
- Shows TP/SL levels for reference but does not place orders
- Requires you to manually enter and exit positions based on signals
- Works with all TradingView subscription levels (alerts included on all plans)
**For automated trading with backtesting**, use the strategy version. For manual control with notifications, use this indicator version.
## ALERT CAPABILITIES:
This indicator includes four distinct alert conditions that can be configured independently:
**1. New Channel Formation Alert**
- Triggers when a fresh BOCS channel is identified
- Message: "New BOCS channel formed - potential scalp setup ready"
- Use this to prepare for upcoming trading opportunities
**2. Long Scalp Entry Alert**
- Fires when price touches the long entry zone
- Message includes current price, calculated TP, and SL levels
- Notification example: "LONG scalp signal at 24731.75 | TP: 24743.2 | SL: 24716.5"
**3. Short Scalp Entry Alert**
- Fires when price touches the short entry zone
- Message includes current price, calculated TP, and SL levels
- Notification example: "SHORT scalp signal at 24747.50 | TP: 24735.0 | SL: 24762.75"
**4. Any Entry Signal Alert**
- Combined alert for both long and short entries
- Use this if you want a single alert stream for all opportunities
- Message: "BOCS Scalp Entry: at "
**Setting Up Alerts:**
1. Add indicator to chart and configure settings
2. Click the Alert (⏰) button in TradingView toolbar
3. Select "BOCS Channel Scalper" from condition dropdown
4. Choose desired alert type (Long, Short, Any, or Channel Formation)
5. Set "Once Per Bar Close" to avoid false signals during bar formation
6. Configure delivery method (popup, email, webhook for automation platforms)
7. Save alert - it will fire automatically when conditions are met
**Alert Message Placeholders:**
Alerts use TradingView's dynamic placeholder system:
- {{ticker}} = Symbol name (e.g., NQ1!)
- {{close}} = Current price at signal
- {{plot_1}} = Calculated take profit level
- {{plot_2}} = Calculated stop loss level
These placeholders populate automatically, creating detailed notification messages without manual configuration.
## KEY DIFFERENCE FROM ORIGINAL BOCS:
**This indicator is designed for traders seeking higher trade frequency.** The original BOCS indicator trades breakouts OUTSIDE channels, waiting for price to escape consolidation before entering. This scalper version trades mean reversion INSIDE channels, entering when price reaches channel extremes and betting on a bounce back to center. The result is significantly more trading opportunities:
- **Original BOCS**: 1-3 signals per channel (only on breakout)
- **Scalper Indicator**: 5-15+ signals per channel (every touch of entry zones)
- **Trade Style**: Mean reversion vs trend following
- **Hold Time**: Seconds to minutes vs minutes to hours
- **Best Markets**: Ranging/choppy conditions vs trending breakouts
This makes the indicator ideal for active day traders who want continuous alert opportunities within consolidation zones rather than waiting for breakout confirmation. However, increased signal frequency also means higher potential commission costs and requires disciplined trade selection when acting on alerts.
## TECHNICAL METHODOLOGY:
### Price Normalization Process:
The indicator normalizes price data to create consistent volatility measurements across different instruments and price levels. It calculates the highest high and lowest low over a user-defined lookback period (default 100 bars). Current close price is normalized using: (close - lowest_low) / (highest_high - lowest_low), producing values between 0 and 1 for standardized volatility analysis.
### Volatility Detection:
A 14-period standard deviation is applied to the normalized price series to measure price deviation from the mean. Higher standard deviation values indicate volatility expansion; lower values indicate consolidation. The indicator uses ta.highestbars() and ta.lowestbars() to identify when volatility peaks and troughs occur over the detection period (default 14 bars).
### Channel Formation Logic:
When volatility crosses from a high level to a low level (ta.crossover(upper, lower)), a consolidation phase begins. The indicator tracks the highest and lowest prices during this period, which become the channel boundaries. Minimum duration of 10+ bars is required to filter out brief volatility spikes. Channels are rendered as box objects with defined upper and lower boundaries, with colored zones indicating entry areas.
### Entry Signal Generation:
The indicator uses immediate touch-based entry logic. Entry zones are defined as a percentage from channel edges (default 20%):
- **Long Entry Zone**: Bottom 20% of channel (bottomBound + channelRange × 0.2)
- **Short Entry Zone**: Top 20% of channel (topBound - channelRange × 0.2)
Long signals trigger when candle low touches or enters the long entry zone. Short signals trigger when candle high touches or enters the short entry zone. Visual markers (arrows and labels) appear on chart, and configured alerts fire immediately.
### Cooldown Filter:
An optional cooldown period (measured in bars) prevents alert spam by enforcing minimum spacing between consecutive signals. If cooldown is set to 3 bars, no new long alert will fire until 3 bars after the previous long signal. Long and short cooldowns are tracked independently, allowing both directions to signal within the same period.
### ATR Volatility Filter:
The indicator includes a multi-timeframe ATR filter to avoid alerts during low-volatility conditions. Using request.security(), it fetches ATR values from a specified timeframe (e.g., 1-minute ATR while viewing 5-minute charts). The filter compares current ATR to a user-defined minimum threshold:
- If ATR ≥ threshold: Alerts enabled
- If ATR < threshold: No alerts fire
This prevents notifications during dead zones where mean reversion is unreliable due to insufficient price movement. The ATR status is displayed in the info table with visual confirmation (✓ or ✗).
### Take Profit Calculation:
Two TP methods are available:
**Fixed Points Mode**:
- Long TP = Entry + (TP_Ticks × syminfo.mintick)
- Short TP = Entry - (TP_Ticks × syminfo.mintick)
**Channel Percentage Mode**:
- Long TP = Entry + (ChannelRange × TP_Percent)
- Short TP = Entry - (ChannelRange × TP_Percent)
Default 50% targets the channel midline, a natural mean reversion target. These levels are displayed as visual lines with labels and included in alert messages for reference when manually placing orders.
### Stop Loss Placement:
Stop losses are calculated just outside the channel boundary by a user-defined tick offset:
- Long SL = ChannelBottom - (SL_Offset_Ticks × syminfo.mintick)
- Short SL = ChannelTop + (SL_Offset_Ticks × syminfo.mintick)
This logic assumes channel breaks invalidate the mean reversion thesis. SL levels are displayed on chart and included in alert notifications as suggested stop placement.
### Channel Breakout Management:
Channels are removed when price closes more than 10 ticks outside boundaries. This tolerance prevents premature channel deletion from minor breaks or wicks, allowing the mean reversion setup to persist through small boundary violations.
## INPUT PARAMETERS:

## HOW TO USE:
### For 1-3 Minute Scalping with Alerts (NQ/ES):
- ATR Timeframe: "1" (1-minute)
- ATR Min Value: 10.0 (for NQ), adjust per instrument
- Entry Zone %: 20-25%
- TP Method: Fixed Points, 20-40 ticks
- SL Offset: 5-10 ticks
- Cooldown: 2-3 bars to reduce alert spam
- **Alert Setup**: Configure "Any Entry Signal" for combined long/short notifications
- **Execution**: When alert fires, verify chart visuals, then manually place limit order at entry zone with provided TP/SL levels
### For 5-15 Minute Day Trading with Alerts:
- ATR Timeframe: "5" or match chart
- ATR Min Value: Adjust to instrument (test 8-15 for NQ)
- Entry Zone %: 20-30%
- TP Method: % of Channel, 40-60%
- SL Offset: 5-10 ticks
- Cooldown: 3-5 bars
- **Alert Setup**: Configure separate "Long Scalp Entry" and "Short Scalp Entry" alerts if you trade directionally based on bias
- **Execution**: Review channel structure on alert, confirm ATR filter shows ✓, then enter manually
### For 30-60 Minute Swing Scalping with Alerts:
- ATR Timeframe: "15" or "30"
- ATR Min Value: Lower threshold for broader market
- Entry Zone %: 25-35%
- TP Method: % of Channel, 50-70%
- SL Offset: 10-15 ticks
- Cooldown: 5+ bars or disable
- **Alert Setup**: Use "New Channel Formation" to prepare for setups, then "Any Entry Signal" for execution alerts
- **Execution**: Larger timeframes allow more analysis time between alert and entry
### Webhook Integration for Semi-Automation:
- Configure alert webhook URL to connect with platforms like TradersPost, TradingView Paper Trading, or custom automation
- Alert message includes all necessary order parameters (direction, entry, TP, SL)
- Webhook receives structured data when signal fires
- External platform can auto-execute based on alert payload
- Still maintains manual oversight vs full strategy automation
## USAGE CONSIDERATIONS:
- **Manual Discipline Required**: Alerts provide opportunities but execution requires judgment. Not all alerts should be taken - consider market context, trend, and channel quality
- **Alert Timing**: Alerts fire on bar close by default. Ensure "Once Per Bar Close" is selected to avoid false signals during bar formation
- **Notification Delivery**: Mobile/email alerts may have 1-3 second delay. For immediate execution, use desktop popups or webhook automation
- **Cooldown Necessity**: Without cooldown, rapidly touching price action can generate excessive alerts. Start with 3-bar cooldown and adjust based on alert volume
- **ATR Filter Impact**: Enabling ATR filter dramatically reduces alert count but improves quality. Track filter status in info table to understand when you're receiving fewer alerts
- **Commission Awareness**: High alert frequency means high potential trade count. Calculate if your commission structure supports frequent scalping before acting on all alerts
## COMPATIBLE MARKETS:
Works on any instrument with price data including stock indices (NQ, ES, YM, RTY), individual stocks, forex pairs (EUR/USD, GBP/USD), cryptocurrency (BTC, ETH), and commodities. Volume-based features are not included in this indicator version. Multi-timeframe ATR requires higher-tier TradingView subscription for request.security() functionality on timeframes below chart timeframe.
## KNOWN LIMITATIONS:
- **Indicator does not execute trades** - alerts are informational only; you must manually place all orders
- **Alert delivery depends on TradingView infrastructure** - delays or failures possible during platform issues
- **No position tracking** - indicator doesn't know if you're in a trade; you must manage open positions independently
- **TP/SL levels are reference only** - you must manually set these on your broker platform; they are not live orders
- **Immediate touch entry can generate many alerts** in choppy zones without adequate cooldown
- **Channel deletion at 10-tick breaks** may be too aggressive or lenient depending on instrument tick size
- **ATR filter from lower timeframes** requires TradingView Premium/Pro+ for request.security()
- **Mean reversion logic fails** in strong breakout scenarios - alerts will fire but trades may hit stops
- **No partial closing capability** - full position management is manual; you determine scaling out
- **Alerts do not account for gaps** or overnight price changes; morning alerts may be stale
## RISK DISCLOSURE:
Trading involves substantial risk of loss. This indicator provides signals for educational and informational purposes only and does not constitute financial advice. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Mean reversion strategies can experience extended drawdowns during trending markets. Alerts are not guaranteed to be profitable and should be combined with your own analysis. Stop losses may not fill at intended levels during extreme volatility or gaps. Never trade with capital you cannot afford to lose. Consider consulting a licensed financial advisor before making trading decisions. Always verify alerts against current market conditions before executing trades manually.
## ACKNOWLEDGMENT & CREDITS:
This indicator is built upon the channel detection methodology created by **AlgoAlpha** in the "Smart Money Breakout Channels" indicator. Full credit and appreciation to AlgoAlpha for pioneering the normalized volatility approach to identifying consolidation patterns. The core channel formation logic using normalized price standard deviation is AlgoAlpha's original contribution to the TradingView community.
Enhancements to the original concept include: mean reversion entry logic (vs breakout), immediate touch-based alert generation, comprehensive alert condition system with customizable notifications, multi-timeframe ATR volatility filtering, cooldown period for alert management, dual TP methods (fixed points vs channel percentage), visual TP/SL reference lines, and real-time status monitoring table. This indicator version is specifically designed for manual traders who prefer alert-based decision making over automated execution.

Extremum Range MA Crossover Strategy1. Principle of Work & Strategy Logic ⚙️📈
Main idea: The strategy tries to catch the moment of a breakout from a price consolidation range (flat) and the start of a new trend. It combines two key elements:
Moving Average (MA) 📉: Acts as a dynamic support/resistance level and trend filter.
Range Extremes (Range High/Low) 🔺🔻: Define the borders of the recent price channel or consolidation.
The strategy does not attempt to catch absolute tops and bottoms. Instead, it enters an already formed move after the breakout, expecting continuation.
Type: Trend-following, momentum-based.
Timeframes: Works on different TFs (H1, H4, D), but best suited for H4 and higher, where breakouts are more meaningful.
2. Justification of Indicators & Settings ⚙️
A. Moving Average (MA) 📊
Why used: Core of the strategy. It smooths price fluctuations and helps define the trend. The price (via extremes) must cross the MA → signals a potential trend shift or strengthening.
Parameters:
maLength = 20: Default length (≈ one trading month, 20-21 days). Good balance between sensitivity & smoothing.
Lower TF → reduce (10–14).
Higher TF → increase (50).
maSource: Defines price source (default = Close). Alternatives (HL2, HLC3) → smoother, less noisy MA.
maType: Default = EMA (Exponential MA).
Why EMA? Faster reaction to recent price changes vs SMA → useful for breakout strategies.
Other options:
SMA 🟦 – classic, slowest.
WMA 🟨 – weights recent data stronger.
HMA 🟩 – near-zero lag, but “nervous,” more false signals.
DEMA/TEMA 🟧 – even faster & more sensitive than EMA.
VWMA 🔊 – volume-weighted.
ZLEMA ⏱ – reduced lag.
👉 Choice = tradeoff between speed of reaction & false signals.
B. Range Extremes (Previous High/Low) 📏
Why used: Define borders of recent trading range.
prevHigh = local resistance.
prevLow = local support.
Break of these levels on close = trigger.
Parameters:
lookbackPeriod = 5: Searches for highest high / lowest low of last 5 candles. Very recent range.
Higher value (10–20) → wider, stronger ranges but rarer signals.
3. Entry & Exit Rules 🎯
Long signals (BUY) 🟢📈
Condition (longCondition): Previous Low crosses MA from below upwards.
→ Price bounced from the bottom & strong enough to push range border above MA.
Execution: Auto-close short (if any) → open long.
Short signals (SELL) 🔴📉
Condition (shortCondition): Previous High crosses MA from above downwards.
→ Price rejected from the top, upper border failed above MA.
Execution: Auto-close long (if any) → open short.
Exit conditions 🚪
Exit Long (exitLongCondition): Close below prevLow.
→ Uptrend likely ended, range shifts down.
Exit Short (exitShortCondition): Close above prevHigh.
→ Downtrend likely ended, range shifts up.
⚠️ Important: Exit = only on candle close beyond extremes (not just wick).
4. Trading Settings ⚒️
overlay = true → indicators shown on chart.
initial_capital = 10000 💵.
default_qty_type = strategy.cash, default_qty_value = 100 → trades fixed $100 per order (not lots). Can switch to % of equity.
commission_type = strategy.commission.percent, commission_value = 0.1 → default broker fee = 0.1%. Adjust for your broker!
slippage = 3 → slippage = 3 ticks. Adjust to asset liquidity.
currency = USD.
margin_long = 100, margin_short = 100 → no leverage (100% margin).
5. Visualization on Chart 📊
The strategy draws 3 lines:
🔵 MA line (thickness 2).
🔴 Previous High (last N candles).
🟢 Previous Low (last N candles).

Daily/Weekly Wick (Shadow) Range📈 Detailed Guide to the Daily/Weekly Wick (Shadow) Range Indicator
This indicator is a powerful visualization tool designed to map the key price levels established during the previous trading period (either the previous day or the previous week). Instead of just showing a single line for the high and low, it highlights the entire range of the upper and lower wicks (shadows), representing the "battleground" where buyers and sellers were most active.
How It Works
The Wick (Shadow) Range indicator fetches the Open, High, Low, and Close data from the last completed daily or weekly candle and projects those levels onto your current chart. This creates two distinct colored zones.
Upper Wick (Green Zone): This area spans from the Previous High down to the top of the Previous Candle's Body. It visually represents the territory where sellers successfully pushed the price down from its peak. This entire zone can be considered a resistance area.
Lower Wick (Red Zone): This area spans from the bottom of the Previous Candle's Body down to the Previous Low. It shows where buyers stepped in to defend a price level and push it back up. This entire zone can be considered a support area.
How to Use It in Your Trading
This indicator isn't meant to give direct buy or sell signals on its own. Instead, it provides crucial context about market structure. Here are several ways to incorporate it into your strategy:
1. Identifying Key Support & Resistance
This is the indicator's primary function. The most significant levels are:
Key Resistance: The top edge of the green zone (the previous period's high).
Key Support: The bottom edge of the red zone (the previous period's low).
Look for the current price to react when it approaches these boundaries. These are high-probability areas for price to pause or reverse.
2. Watching for Price Rejection (Reversal Trading)
The colored zones are perfect for spotting rejection signals.
Bearish Rejection 📉: If the current price enters the green zone but fails to stay there, closing back below it (often forming a new wick), it's a strong sign that sellers are still in control at that level. This can be an excellent entry signal for a short position.
Bullish Rejection 📈: If the current price dips into the red zone and is quickly bought back up, it shows that buyers are actively defending that area. This can be a great entry signal for a long position.
3. Confirming Breakouts (Trend Trading)
The zones also help validate breakouts.
Bullish Breakout: If the price pushes decisively through the entire green zone and closes above the previous high, it signals that the previous resistance has been broken and the trend may continue upward.
Bearish Breakdown: If the price falls decisively through the entire red zone and closes below the previous low, it confirms that support has failed and the price may continue downward.
4. Setting Context with Timeframes
Weekly Setting: Use the "Weekly" option to identify major, significant support and resistance levels that can influence the market for the entire week. These are powerful levels for swing trading.
Daily Setting: Use the "Daily" option for intraday trading. The previous day's high and low are critical pivot points that many day traders watch.
⚙️ Indicator Settings
The indicator has one simple setting, which you can access by clicking the gear icon ⚙️ next to its name on the chart.

Dynamic Swing Anchored VWAP STRAT (Zeiierman/PineIndicators)Dynamic Swing Anchored VWAP STRATEGY — Zeiierman × PineIndicators (Pine Script v6)
A pivot-to-pivot Anchored VWAP strategy that adapts to volatility, enters long on bullish structure, and closes on bearish structure. Built for TradingView in Pine Script v6.
Full credits to zeiierman.
Repainting notice: The original indicator logic is repainting. Swing labels (HH/HL/LH/LL) are finalized after enough bars have printed, so labels do not occur in real time. It is not possible to execute at historical label points. Treat results as educational and validate with Bar Replay and paper trading before considering any discretionary use.
Concept
The script identifies swing highs/lows over a user-defined lookback ( Swing Period ). When structure flips (most recent swing low is newer than the most recent swing high, or vice versa), a new regime begins.
At each confirmed pivot, a fresh Anchored VWAP segment is started and updated bar-by-bar using an EWMA-style decay on price×volume and volume.
Responsiveness is controlled by Adaptive Price Tracking (APT) . Optionally, APT auto-adjusts with an ATR ratio so that high volatility accelerates responsiveness and low volatility smooths it.
Longs are opened/held in bullish regimes and closed when the regime turns bearish. No short positions are taken by design.
How it works (under the hood)
Swing detection: Uses ta.highestbars / ta.lowestbars over prd to update swing highs (ph) and lows (pl), plus their bar indices (phL, plL).
Regime logic: If phL > plL → bullish regime; else → bearish regime. A change in this condition triggers a re-anchor of the VWAP at the newest pivot.
Adaptive VWAP math: APT is converted to an exponential decay factor ( alphaFromAPT ), then applied to running sums of price×volume and volume, producing the current VWAP estimate.
Rendering: Each pivot-anchored VWAP segment is drawn as a polyline and color-coded by regime. Optional structure labels (HH/HL/LH/LL) annotate the swing character.
Orders: On bullish flips, strategy.entry("L") opens/maintains a long; on bearish flips, strategy.close("L") exits.
Inputs & controls
Swing Period (prd) — Higher values identify larger, slower swings; lower values catch more frequent pivots but add noise.
Adaptive Price Tracking (APT) — Governs the VWAP’s “half-life.” Smaller APT → faster/closer to price; larger APT → smoother/stabler.
Adapt APT by ATR ratio — When enabled, APT scales with volatility so the VWAP speeds up in turbulent markets and slows down in quiet markets.
Volatility Bias — Tunes the strength of APT’s response to volatility (above 1 = stronger effect; below 1 = milder).
Style settings — Colors for swing labels and VWAP segments, plus line width for visibility.
Trade logic summary
Entry: Long when the swing structure turns bullish (latest swing low is more recent than the last swing high).
Exit: Close the long when structure turns bearish.
Position size: qty = strategy.equity / close × 5 (dynamic sizing; scales with account equity and instrument price). Consider reducing the multiplier for a more conservative profile.
Recommended workflow
Apply to instruments with reliable volume (equities, futures, crypto; FX tick volume can work but varies by broker).
Start on your preferred timeframe. Intraday often benefits from smaller APT (more reactive); higher timeframes may prefer larger APT (smoother).
Begin with defaults ( prd=50, APT=20 ); then toggle “Adapt by ATR” and vary Volatility Bias to observe how segments tighten/loosen.
Use Bar Replay to watch how pivots confirm and how the strategy re-anchors VWAP at those confirmations.
Layer your own risk rules (stops/targets, max position cap, session filters) before any discretionary use.
Practical tips
Context filter: Consider combining with a higher-timeframe bias (e.g., daily trend) and using this strategy as an entry timing layer.
First pivot preference: Some traders prefer only the first bullish pivot after a bearish regime (and vice versa) to reduce whipsaw in choppy ranges.
Deviations: You can add VWAP deviation bands to pre-plan partial exits or re-entries on mean-reversion pulls.
Sessions: Session-based filters (RTH vs. ETH) can materially change behavior on futures and equities.
Extending the script (ideas)
Add stops/targets (e.g., ATR stop below last swing low; partial profits at k×VWAP deviation).
Introduce mirrored short logic for two-sided testing.
Include alert conditions for regime flips or for price-VWAP interactions.
Incorporate HTF confirmation (e.g., only long when daily VWAP slope ≥ 0).
Throttle entries (e.g., once per regime flip) to avoid over-trading in ranges.
Known limitations
Repainting: Swing labels and pivot confirmations depend on future bars; historical labels can look “perfect.” Treat them as annotations, not executable signals.
Execution realism: Strategy includes commission and slippage fields, yet actual fills differ by venue/liquidity.
No guarantees: Past behavior does not imply future results. This publication is for research/education only and not financial advice.
Defaults (backtest environment)
Initial capital: 10,000
Commission value: 0.01
Slippage: 1
Overlay: true
Max bars back: 5000; Max labels/polylines set for deep swing histories
Quick checklist
Add to chart and verify that the instrument has volume.
Use defaults, then tune APT and Volatility Bias with/without ATR adaptation.
Observe how each pivot re-anchors VWAP and how regime flips drive entries/exits.
Paper trade across several symbols/timeframes before any discretionary decisions.

Futures Key LevelsKey Levels — Sessions, Previous Ranges & Opens (Chicago-aligned sessions)
What it does
This indicator plots commonly used reference levels across multiple timeframes to help you frame the day and find confluence:
Sessions (Chicago TZ): London, New York, and Asia session high/low ranges.
Previous Period Ranges: Previous Day / Week / Month / Quarter / Year High/Low and optional Mid.
Opens: Current Daily / Weekly / Monthly / Quarterly / Yearly opens.
Intraday (4H): Previous 4-Hour High/Low + optional Mid.
Monday Range: Captures Monday’s High/Low (and optional Mid) to use as a weekly reference.
Price-scale markers: Optional markers that track key levels on the price scale without adding extra lines.
How it works (concepts & calculations)
Higher-timeframe values are retrieved using request.security() and update when a new period begins (e.g., previous day’s H/L become fixed at the start of the new day).
Session ranges are built from bar data within session windows using time(session, "America/Chicago"):
London: 02:00–05:00 CT
New York: 08:30–15:00 CT
Asia: 20:00–00:00 CT
“Mid” levels are simple midpoints between each period’s High and Low.
Merge Levels: when different levels land at the same price, their labels are merged to reduce clutter (e.g., “PDH / PWH”).
Why this version is useful / original bits
All-white baseline for clean charts; session colors stand out by design: London = Yellow, New York = Aquatic Blue, Asia = Red.
Right-anchored mode lets you park levels to the right side of the chart with a configurable anchor distance.
Label merging keeps the display minimal when multiple levels coincide.
Price-scale-only markers available when you prefer fewer lines on the chart.
Inputs & customization
Display Style: Standard or Right Anchored (+ distance controls).
Levels toggles: enable/disable each period (Daily/Weekly/Monthly/Quarterly/Yearly), Monday range, 4H range, and session ranges.
Text: optional shorthand labels (e.g., PDH/PDL, PWH/PWL).
Colors: global white theme, with session highlights; you can override in the Inputs.
Price-scale markers: on/off toggle.
How to use it
Use previous High/Low as liquidity pools and areas to watch for sweeps, breaks, or retests.
The Monday range often frames the rest of the week; breaks or rejections around Monday H/L can be informative.
The 4H previous range gives intraday context—great for mean-reversion vs. continuation reads.
Session ranges help you see where the active session expanded price and where liquidity may remain.
Notes & limitations
Sessions are computed in America/Chicago; higher-TF levels use the symbol’s exchange timezone.
This is an indicator, not a strategy; it does not place trades or claim performance.
Always combine levels with your own execution rules (structure, momentum, risk).
Credit: inspired by spacemanBTC; this version adds the all-white styling, Chicago-aligned sessions, right-anchoring, label merging, and price-scale markers.

MultiSessions traderglobal.topEste indicador de sesiones está diseñado para traders intradía que desean visualizar con precisión la actividad y la volatilidad característica de cada mercado. Basado en Pine Script v5 y optimizado para la zona horaria “America/New_York”, divide el día en sub-sesiones configurables y resalta sus rangos de precio en tiempo real. En particular, incorpora tres bloques para New York (NY1, NY2, NY3), dos para Londres (LON1, LON2), dos para Tokio (TKO1, TKO2) y mantiene Sídney como sesión opcional. Cada bloque puede activarse o desactivarse de forma independiente y cuenta con su propio color ajustable, lo que permite construir mapas visuales claros para estrategias basadas en horario, solapamientos y micro-estructuras de mercado.
El panel de inputs incluye la opción “Activate High/Low View”. Cuando está activada, el indicador calcula de manera incremental el mínimo y máximo de cada sub-sesión y sombrea el área entre ambos con fill, proporcionando una referencia inmediata del rango intrasesión (útil para medir compresión/expansión y posibles rompimientos). Cuando está desactivada, emplea un simple bgcolor por bloque, ideal para traders que prefieren un gráfico más limpio y solo desean distinguir visualmente los tramos horarios.
La lógica central utiliza dos funciones auxiliares: is_session(sess), que detecta si la vela actual pertenece a un tramo horario concreto, e is_newbar(sess), que determina el inicio de una nueva barra de referencia según la resolución elegida (D, W o M). Gracias a esta combinación, en cada sub-sesión el indicador reinicia sus contadores de alto y bajo al comenzar el período y los actualiza vela a vela mientras el bloque siga activo. Este enfoque evita mezclas de datos entre sesiones y asegura que el rango que se muestra corresponda estrictamente al segmento horario configurado.
Los horarios por defecto están pensados para Forex y contemplan casos que cruzan medianoche (por ejemplo, Tokio 2 y Sídney). Pine Script admite rangos como 2200-0200; no obstante, si tu bróker o la zona horaria del gráfico generan un sombreado parcial, basta con dividir el tramo en dos: 2200-2359 y 0000-0200. Asimismo, cada input.session incluye el patrón :1234567 para habilitar los siete días; puedes restringir días según tu operativa.
En cuanto al uso práctico, el indicador facilita identificar: (1) la estructura del rango por sub-sesión (útil para estrategias de breakout/mean-reversion), (2) los solapamientos entre Londres y New York, donde suele concentrarse la liquidez, y (3) períodos de menor volatilidad (tramos tardíos de Asia o previos a noticias). El color independiente por bloque te permite codificar visualmente la importancia o tu plan de trading (por ejemplo, tonos más intensos en ventanas de alta probabilidad).
Finalmente, su diseño modular hace sencilla la personalización: puedes ajustar colores, activar/desactivar bloques, cambiar horarios y modificar la resolución de reseteo del rango. Como posible mejora, se pueden añadir alertas de ruptura de máximos/mínimos de sub-sesión o etiquetas con la altura del rango (pips) al cierre. Este indicador no sustituye el juicio del trader ni constituye recomendación financiera, pero ofrece una base visual robusta para integrar el factor tiempo en la toma de decisiones.
This sessions indicator is built for intraday traders who want a precise, time-aware view of market activity and typical volatility patterns across the day. Written in Pine Script v5 and optimized for the “America/New_York” timezone, it divides the trading day into configurable sub-sessions and highlights their price ranges in real time. Specifically, it provides three blocks for New York (NY1, NY2, NY3), two for London (LON1, LON2), two for Tokyo (TKO1, TKO2), and keeps Sydney as an optional session. Each block can be enabled or disabled independently and comes with its own adjustable color, letting you build clear visual maps for time-based strategies, overlaps, and microstructure nuances.
In the inputs panel you’ll find the “Activate High/Low View” option. When enabled, the indicator incrementally computes each sub-session’s low and high and shades the area between them with fill, giving you an immediate reference to the intra-session range (useful for gauging compression/expansion and potential breakouts). When disabled, it switches to a clean bgcolor background by block—ideal if you prefer a minimal chart and simply want to distinguish time windows at a glance.
The core logic relies on two helper functions: is_session(sess), which detects whether the current bar falls within a given time window, and is_newbar(sess), which identifies the start of a new reference bar according to your chosen reset resolution (D, W, or M). With this combination, each sub-session resets its high/low at the beginning of the period and updates them bar by bar while the block remains active. This prevents cross-contamination between sessions and ensures the range you see belongs strictly to the configured segment.
Default hours are suited to Forex and include segments that cross midnight (e.g., Tokyo 2 and Sydney). Pine Script supports ranges like 2200-0200; however, if your broker or chart timezone causes partial shading, simply split the segment into two: 2200-2359 and 0000-0200. Each input.session uses the :1234567 suffix to enable all seven days; you can easily restrict days to match your plan.
Practically speaking, the indicator helps you identify: (1) range structure by sub-session (great for breakout or mean-reversion frameworks), (2) overlaps between London and New York, where liquidity and directional moves often concentrate, and (3) lower-volatility windows (late Asia or pre-news lulls). Independent colors per block let you visually encode priority or your trading plan (for example, richer tones in high-probability windows).
Thanks to its modular design, customization is straightforward: adjust colors, toggle blocks, change hours, and tweak the range-reset resolution to suit your routine. As a natural extension, you can add alerts for sub-session high/low breakouts or labels that display the range height (in pips) at session close. While no indicator replaces trader judgment or constitutes financial advice, this tool offers a robust visual foundation for incorporating the time factor directly into your decision-making, helping you contextualize price action within the rhythm of global trading sessions.
Untouched ExtremesWhat it is
Untouched Extremes plots horizontal levels at green-candle highs and red-candle lows. Each level is considered “untouched” (clean liquidity) until price revisits it; on the first valid touch the line auto-deletes, keeping only live targets on your chart.
How it works (logic)
Bar close event
If close > open, the script draws a line at that bar’s high and extends it to the right.
If close < open, it draws a line at that bar’s low and extends it to the right.
(Optional) Perfect/almost-dojis can be classified as green or red via settings.
Touch & removal
A green-high line is removed when any later bar’s high ≥ level (optionally within a tick tolerance).
A red-low line is removed when any later bar’s low ≤ level (optionally within a tick tolerance).
You can delay deletion by N bars to make the touch visible before the line disappears.
Housekeeping
Maximum active lines per side and line styling are user-configurable.
Why it’s useful
Untouched highs/lows often coincide with resting liquidity and incomplete price probes. Tracking them helps:
Define targets and magnets price may seek.
Frame mean-reversion rotations after a failed push.
Keep the chart clean: only levels that have not been traded are displayed.
How to use it (trading idea)
Confirmation rule: Treat the line as a level/zone. Price can pierce it; wait for a clear reversal candle pattern (e.g., pin bar, engulfing, strong momentum shift) at or immediately after the touch.
Directional play:
If a bullish reversal pattern forms at/around a red-low line, the working assumption is that price will move toward the first untouched upper line (nearest green-high line above). Many traders use that as the primary target.
Conversely, if a bearish reversal pattern forms at/around a green-high line, expect rotation toward the first untouched lower line.
Risk management: Stops typically go just beyond the level or beyond the pattern’s wick. Consider a fixed R:R (e.g., 1:2) and partials at intermediate levels.
Settings
Doji handling: Choose how to classify close ≈ open bars (Green / Red / Ignore). A small equality margin (ticks) helps with rounding on some symbols.
Touch tolerance (ticks): Counts near-misses as touches if desired.
Deletion delay (bars): Wait N bars after creation before a line becomes eligible for deletion.
Max lines per side / width / colors: Keep the view readable.
Tips
Works on any symbol/timeframe; lower TFs produce more levels—adjust Max lines accordingly.
Combining with a trend filter (e.g., EMA-200), ATR distance, or volume clues can improve selectivity.
If spreads or wicks are noisy, increase tolerance slightly and/or use deletion delay to visualize touches.
Note: This tool provides structure and potential targets, not signals by itself. Always require your reversal pattern as confirmation and manage risk appropriately.
Aroon ADX/DIUnified trend-strength (ADX/DI) + trend-age (Aroon) with centered scaling, gated signals, regime tints, and a compact readout.
What is different about this script:
- Purpose-built mashup of ADX/DI tells trend strength and side, while Aroon Oscillator tracks trend emergence/aging. Combining them into a scaled chart creates a way to separate “strong-but-late” trends from “newly-emerging” ones.
- Unified scale: Centering the maps into a common +/- 100 range so all lines are directly comparable at a glance (no units mismatch or fumbling with scales).
- Signal quality gating: DI cross signals can be gated by minimum ADX so crosses in chop are filtered out.
- Regime context: Background tints show low-strength chop, developing, and strong regimes using your ADX thresholds.
- Operator-focused UI: Clean fills, color-blind palette, and a two-column table summarizing DI+, DI−, ADX, Aroon, and a plain-English Bias/Trend status.
How it works:
- DI+/DI−/ADX: Wilder’s DI is smoothed; DX → ADX via SMA smoothing.
- Aroon Oscillator: highlights new highs/lows frequency to infer trend
- Centering: Maps DI/ADX from 5-95 and ±100, with your Midpoint controlling where “0” sits in raw mode.
- Signals:
- Bullish/Bearish DI crosses, optionally allowed only when ADX ≥ Min.
- ADX crosses of your Low/High thresholds.
- Aroon crosses of 0, +80, −80 (fresh trend thresholds).
- Display aids: Optional fill between DI+/DI−; thin guides for thresholds; single-pane table summary.
How to use:
- For this to be useful, centering should stay on, modify ADX Low/High and monitor DI crosses with ADX.
- Interpretations:
Bias: DI+ above DI− = bull; below = bear.
Strength level: ADX < Low = chop, Low–High = developing, > High = strong.
Freshness: Aroon > +80 or crossing up 0 suggests new or continued bull push; < −80 or crossing down 0 suggests new or continued bear push.
- Alerts: Use built-ins for DI crosses, ADX regime changes, and Aroon thresholds.
cd_RSI_Divergence_CxGeneral:
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is a momentum oscillator widely used by traders in price analysis. In addition to showing overbought/oversold zones, divergences between RSI and price are also tracked to identify trading opportunities.
The general consensus is that oscillators alone are not sufficient for entries and should be evaluated together with multiple confirmations.
This oscillator is designed as an additional confirmation/compatible tool for strategies that already use higher time frame (HTF) sweeps and lower time frame (LTF) confirmations such as Change in State Delivery (CISD) or Change of Character (CHOCH).
Features:
While RSI oscillators are commonly displayed in line format (classic), this indicator also offers candlestick-style visualization.
Depending on the selected source, period length, and EMA length, RSI can be displayed as lines and/or candlesticks.
Divergence detection & tracking:
Price and RSI values are monitored on the chosen higher time frame (from the menu) to determine highs and lows. For divergence display, the user can choose between two modes:
1- Alignment with HTF Sweep
2- All
1 - Alignment with HTF Sweep:
First, the price must sweep the previous high/low of the candle on the HTF (i.e., break it) but fail to continue in that direction and return inside (sweep).
If this condition is met, RSI values are checked:
If price makes a high sweep but RSI fails to make a new high → divergence is confirmed.
If price makes a low sweep but RSI fails to make a new low → divergence is confirmed.
Divergence is then displayed on the chart.
2 - All:
In this mode, sweep conditions are ignored. Divergence is confirmed if:
Price makes a new high on HTF but RSI does not.
RSI makes a new high on HTF but price does not.
Price makes a new low on HTF but RSI does not.
RSI makes a new low on HTF but price does not.
Menu & Settings:
RSI visualization (source + period length + EMA period length)
Option to choose classic/candlestick style display
Color customization
Higher time frame selection
Adjustable HTF boxes and table display
Final notes:
This oscillator is designed as an additional confirmation tool for strategies based on HTF sweep + LTF CISD/CHOCH confirmation logic. The chosen HTF in the oscillator should match the time frame where sweeps are expected.
Divergence signals from this oscillator alone will not make you profitable.
For spot trades, monitoring sweeps and divergences on higher time frames is more suitable (e.g., Daily–H1 / Weekly–H4).
My personal usage preferences:
Entry TF: 3m
HTF bias: Daily + H1
Sweep + CISD: 30m / 3m
Market Structure: 3m
RSI divergence: HTF = 30m
If all of them align bullish or bearish ( timeframe alignment ), I try to take the trade.
I’d be glad to hear your feedback and suggestions for improvement.
Happy trading!
Strong Trend CandlesThis indicator highlights trend candles using a mathematically grounded method designed to identify moments when the market is truly dominated by buyers or sellers
Up-Trend Candle (UP):
The open is close to the session’s low.
The close is close to the session’s high.
This structure reflects sustained bullish control from start to finish.
Down-Trend Candle (DOWN):
The open is near the high.
The close is near the low.
This reflects clear bearish control throughout the session.
Precise Definitions Used:
UP-Trend Candle:
Open ≤ Low + 10% of range
Close ≥ High - 20% of range
DOWN-Trend Candle:
Open ≥ High - 10% of range
Close ≤ Low + 20% of range
Here, the range is simply High - Low.
Why are the thresholds different (10% vs 20%)?
This is intentional and based on how markets behave:
The opening price tends to be precise and stable in trend days. A strong trending candle usually opens very close to one end (high or low), reflecting a clean start without hesitation.
The closing price, however, often pulls back slightly before the end of the session—even during strong trends—due to profit-taking or last-minute volatility.
That’s why the close is allowed more tolerance (20%), while the open is held to a stricter threshold (10%). This balance allows the indicator to be strict enough to filter noise, yet flexible enough to capture real trends.
✅ Why this is useful
Unlike vague candle patterns like "bullish engulfing" or "marubozu," this method focuses strictly on structure and positioning, not color or subjective shape. It isolates the candles where one side clearly dominated, offering cleaner entries for breakout, continuation, or confirmation strategies.
You can use this tool to:
Spot high-momentum price action
Confirm breakouts or directional bias
Filter setups based on strong market conviction
🔹 How it works
An Up-Trend Candle is detected when the open is close to the daily low and the close is close to the daily high.
A Down-Trend Candle is detected when the open is close to the daily high and the close is close to the daily low.
The thresholds for “close to high/low” are configurable through the Open % of Range and Close % of Range inputs.
🔹 How to use it
Candles are colored according to their classification.
Colors can be customized in the settings.
This tool can be applied in any timeframe.
⚠️ Notes:
This script does not generate buy/sell signals.
It is designed to help visualize strong candles based on intraday range conditions.
