FFH Market structure v1The indicator determines the trend, its direction, confirmed trend, trend breakout levels (BoS), sideways ranges, volume profile point of control levels (vPoC) - all of this is conveniently displayed on the chart and helps complement your technical analysis.
The main idea of the script is to trade volume profile levels (vPoC) by identifying trends and sideways ranges. The script detect them and provides signals as soon as it detects a reaction from a volume level. You then complement these signals with your own technical analysis and make a decision to enter a trade. The script was developed solely to facilitate trading and address the issue of convenient visualization. Structure breakout levels are displayed as additional confirmations for making trading decisions. If we form a sideways range below/above such a trading level, it is a strong signal for me.
For sideways ranges, a volume level is calculated (vPoC), which also serves as input information for the signal engine. Signals are generated based on volume levels, with the calculation of stop loss (SL) and take profit (TP) levels. The SL is set at a certain percentage of the range boundaries or the previous high/low, as specified by a parameter. Targets are calculated intelligently based on trend reversal levels and volume levels.
The indicator parameters are individually tailored to each coin. The number of bars to determine the high/low is adjusted, as well as the allowable price deviation for defining the range boundaries on the first level. There are three modes for determining the sideways range, and data sources for highs/lows can be chosen (high/low/candle close, etc.). To make it more convenient for you to work with the indicator, there is an algorithm for automatic parameter adjustment built-in.
Currently script _only_ works for:
* BTC on 1-hour, 4-hour, and 1-day timeframes.
* ETC on 1-hour, 4-hour, and 1-day timeframes.
* Any altcoin on a 1-day timeframe.
The script will be beneficial to both novice traders, helping them understand market structure, sideways ranges, and identifying structure breakouts, as well as experienced traders, facilitating the process of plotting market structure elements on the chart and making trading decisions.
In any case, this script is not an investment idea.
All trading decisions you make based on the script are made independently and at your own risk.
ค้นหาในสคริปต์สำหรับ "volume profile"
Liquidity PeaksThe "Liquidity Peaks" indicator is a tool designed to identify significant supply and demand zones based on volumetric analysis. It analyzes the volume profile within a specified lookback range to pinpoint the most volumetric point and draw corresponding zones on the price chart.
The 𝐋𝐢𝐪. 𝐏𝐞𝐚𝐤𝐬 indicator utilizes volume data to identify key supply and demand areas on the price chart. By examining the volume profile within a defined lookback range, it highlights three distinct zones: liquidity grab, volume containment, and the most volumetric point.
Zones and their meanings:
Liquidity grab (Orange box): This zone represents a price level where there is a significant swipe of the previous demand zone within the volume range. It indicates a potential shift in market sentiment and serves as a key supply or demand area.
Volume containment (Gray box): This zone displays the area of volume contained before the peak in volume. It provides insights into the range where buying or selling pressure was concentrated, highlighting potential support or resistance levels.
Most volumetric point (Light blue box): This zone represents the point within the lookback range that exhibits the highest volume. It signifies a significant area of market interest and indicates a potential supply or demand level.
Adjustable options:
Adjust liquidity Grab: This option allows you to adjust the size of the boxes. When enabled, the box size is set to twice the size of the high or low of the candle's wick. This adjustment enhances the visibility and accuracy of identifying swipes at specific price levels.
Show origin: Enabling this option ensures that the liquidity boxes are drawn from the wick they were created from. This provides a clear visual reference to the specific candle and highlights the liquidity levels associated with it.
Utility:
The 𝐋𝐢𝐪. 𝐏𝐞𝐚𝐤𝐬 indicator is a valuable tool for traders and investors seeking to identify significant supply and demand zones in the market. By analyzing volume data and drawing corresponding zones on the chart, it helps to pinpoint areas where buying or selling pressure is likely to emerge.
Traders can utilize this information to identify potential support and resistance levels, plan their entries and exits, and make more informed trading decisions. The liquidity grab zones can act as potential reversal or breakout points, while the volume containment zones and most volumetric points provide insights into areas of high market interest.
It is important to note that this indicator should be used in conjunction with other technical analysis tools and indicators to confirm trading signals and validate market dynamics.
Example Charts:
Supply and Demand Daily [LuxAlgo]The Supply and Demand Daily indicator displays daily supply and demand areas on the user's chart. These areas are constructed using the market data within a previous daily interval.
This script makes use of the same logic as our previous Supply and Demand Visible Range indicator .
🔶 USAGE
The supply/demand areas & levels displayed by the indicator aim to provide potential support/resistance levels for users. Supply areas highlight where buyers are willing to exit the market and sell the asset, thus providing resistance and potentially causing prices to reverse or bounce back downwards, while demand areas highlights where buyers were willing to purchase the asset, thus providing support and potentially causing prices to reverse or bounce back upwards.
Historical areas allow the user to study the evolution of supply/demand from one day to another. Wider areas highlight prices avoiding reverting to this area, while thinner areas highlight prices returning more frequently to them.
Trends can be determined by looking at the price position relative to the previous day's supply/demand areas. Price breaking down from the demand zone is indicative of a downtrend, while price breaking above the supply zone is indicative of an uptrend.
Pullback/throwback scenarios can also be common using this indicator.
🔶 SETTINGS
Threshold %: Percentage of the total visible range volume used as a threshold to set supply/demand areas. Higher values return wider areas.
Resolution: Determines the number of bins used to find each area. Higher values will return more precise results.
Intra-bar TF: Timeframe used to obtain intra-bar data.

OBVoscillatorTitle: OBV Oscillator
Author: OsborneCapital
The OBV (On Balance Volume) Oscillator developed by OsborneCapital is a distinctive variant from commonly published OBV indicators. This script capitalizes on the primary concept of the OBV, which is to cumulatively add or subtract the entire volume of each bar to a total, based on whether the closing price was higher or lower than the previous close. However, the OBV Oscillator by OsborneCapital improves upon this by introducing an additional layer of analysis.
Key Differences:
Oscillator Formulation:
The original OBV serves as a cumulative measure of buying and selling pressure. It does not naturally oscillate around a zero line. This script transforms OBV into an oscillator, offering a normalized view around a baseline (zero) for a more intuitive interpretation of buying and selling pressure.
Normalized Scaling:
The OBV Oscillator scales the OBV values down by a user-defined factor (default 1000), helping adapt the indicator to the magnitudes of the underlying market's volume profile.
Moving Average Comparison:
This script compares the scaled OBV with a Moving Average (MA) over a user-defined period, enhancing the visibility of divergences and convergences between volume trends and price action.
Usage:
The OBV Oscillator by OsborneCapital provides visual cues about the underlying buying or selling pressure, which is not directly visible from the price chart:
- Above zero line: Suggests the dominance of buying pressure, which may indicate an ongoing bullish sentiment.
- Below zero line: Indicates the dominance of selling pressure, hinting at bearish sentiment.
- Crossing the zero line: A change in the trend's direction, from bullish to bearish or vice versa.
Markets and Conditions:
The OBV Oscillator can be used across various markets, including but not limited to stocks, forex, cryptocurrencies, commodities, and futures. As this script fundamentally builds on volume analysis, it tends to be more effective in markets where volume information is reliable and significant.
It's always recommended to use this tool in conjunction with other indicators and analysis methods, as it mainly provides insights into volume trends and doesn't consider price levels or price-based trends. The indicator can be particularly effective in identifying potential breakouts when there's a divergence between the OBV Oscillator and the price trend.
Please remember, no indicator alone can guarantee success in trading, and a comprehensive approach, including risk management, should always be employed.
Modified TradingView's Up/Down Volume [vnhilton]
When plotting columns, histograms, etc. You'll notice that the indicator does not stick to the bottom of the pane. To fix this, you need another indicator (we'll call this 'placeholder') in the same pane as this indicator. Pin the placeholder indicator to the left scale, & pin the main indicator to the left scale. Then, pin the placeholder indicator to scale A, & finally the main indictor to the right scale.
Note: On the daily timeframes & higher, the up/down volume isn't accurate. Therefore, I've added a feature where you can toggle on the main indicator to disappear & only show ordinary total volume similar to the TradingView volume indicator.
The original code belongs to TradingView. This is a modified indicator that displays the down volume above the up volume similar to the volume profile. Also includes a moving average using the total volume, & a feature to display ordinary volume to solve the up/down inaccuracies on the daily timeframe & higher.
Volume Footprint [LuxAlgo]This indicator estimates a volume footprint using tick data. The script automatically separates a candle into equidistant intervals with a width obtained from the average true range or a user-given width.
Settings
Method: Interval width calculation method. This ultimately determines the number of intervals separating one candle.
Width (At the right of Method): Atr period or user given width depending on the selected method. A lower user-given width would divide a candle into a higher number of intervals.
As Percent: Returns the accumulated volume within each interval as a percentage of the total candle volume.
Style
Display Type: Determines the appearance of the returned volume footprint.
Trend Color: Color to use based on whether a candle is bullish or bearish.
Usage
When applied to a chart, the user will be asked to select the settings to use for the volume footprint. Note that changing the settings afterward will reset the volume footprint, removing previously generated footprints.
A new footprint will appear on the confirmation of a new bar, as such this version might only be useful in lower timeframes.
A volume footprint allows users to see the number of contracts exchanged within a candle interval. It can as such be seen as some kind of intrabar volume profile.
This can be useful to see areas of interest within a candle.
Different Appearance
By default, the volume footprint makes use of colored boxes with a color based on whether the candle was bullish or bearish.
Another appearance that gives additional information is the gradient type, which uses intervals color based on the number of contracts exchanged within an interval relative to the total volume of the candle. A higher number of contracts within an interval would return a darker color by default.
The regular display type makes use of boxes with a single color, with lines on the side indicating whether the candle was bullish or bearish.
Vwap based Supply and Demand Heatmap_V1This is a Multi-time frame "Thermographic Vwap based heatmap" showing Highest volume Vwap supply and demand zones.
User has 3 inputs for time frames to choose from or layer. It comes preset with "Short" and "Mid" time frame enabled and user can choose to add an additional layer if they would like for longer time frame analysis. If ALL time frames are enabled, fewer levels will show overall due to the 500 map limit, But zones will become brighter, larger, and more "precise" as they overlap and seek out the highest volume concentration amongst all levels.
What is the map showing you?
The heat map goes through each user selected time frame and searches for the highest volume candle and plots a zone based of that candles Vwap and high. These zones act as dynamic support and resistance. Each zone will "Degrade" and disappear over time and show positive when price has broken, cleared and held above it. The shift in color however is not immediate in change, rather transitional, so as not to "Repaint" causing false sense of clearing a zone. All negative zones (Price below) are colored red. User can choose to change any of the maps color's if they would like.
Time frame MUST be larger than your current charts resolution.-
Example- If on a 3min chart, user would choose any time frame LARGER than 3 min to display a map from.
Time frames the zones work best on are 1,3,5,15 min, paired with maps such as "Daily, Weekly, 240min(4hr), 60min" etc for intraday scalping or trend style trading. If on a larger time frame, 60mi, 4hr, Daily, user would choose larger maps like Daily, Weekly, monthly only. User can choose to display all, or just one time frame's zone at a time if they would like. If on a smaller intraday chart, You can start with "Daily" map first, increase opacity if the map is to dark. Then add additional time frames up or down in time if you'd like so long as maps time frame is larger than the charts.
If on a 1, 3, or 5min chart, you can also try the 30,60, or 240min maps for finer granularity and "Scalping" support and resistance.
If you choose a set of time frames, and do not see maps interacting with current price, then cycle out to a higher chart time frame and maps that are one or two time frames higher than current chart resolution.
These maps are showing you where supply and demand are situated since they are looking for the "Highest Volume" candles in each time frame you choose-
The range cast from the highest volume launch candle have proven to be strong support or resistance. Think of "Trapped trader's" if viewing over head supply level's, these traders will sell into a push higher until cleared. Vice versa, if viewing a demand level below, think of a "Base", especially on higher time frames. An area of high volume participation, where buyer's have shown support, and launched a run from. When price cycles back to these zone's, one would expect support from them.
Each zone has a high or low, you will often see price discovery "Test" the high and low of each zone. Probing as they say in Auction market theory to see if there are still buyers, or seller's present. I will often wait for the probe of the high or low of a zone, then look to participate once they have wicked the area and cleared the inventory there and start to move to the opposing side of the zone I am looking to participate in. Think of "Value low, and Value high" in market or volume profile. Market maker's aim to test the participants "Max pain", and absorb stops in each direction. With that said the maps are not meant to be "Lines in the sand" or concrete level's, they are simply hot or cold zones where you could expect participation to happen, the "Hotter" or "Brighter" a zone is the higher the volume concentration is there at that price area. So act accordingly and use this as an addition to your analysis, not the ONLY thing you take into consideration.

VWAP RangeThe VWAP Range indicator is a highly versatile and innovative tool designed with trading signals for trading the supply and demand within consolidation ranges.
What's a VWAP?
A VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price) represents an equilibrium point in the market, balancing supply and demand over a specified period. Unlike simple moving averages, VWAP gives more weight to periods with higher volume. This is crucial because large volumes indicate significant trading activity, often by institutional traders, whose actions can reflect deeper market insights or create substantial market movements. The VWAP is also often used as a benchmark to evaluate the efficiency of executed trades. If a trader buys below the VWAP and sells above it, they are generally considered to have transacted favourably.
This is how it works:
Multiple VWAP Anchors:
This indicator uses multiple VWAPs anchored to different optional time periods, such as Daily, Weekly, Monthly, as well as to the highest high a lowest low within those periods. This multiplicity allows for a comprehensive view of the market’s average price based on volume and price, tailored to different trading styles and strategies.
Dynamic and Fixed Periods:
Traders can choose between using dynamic ranges, which reset at the start of each selected period, and specifying a date and time for a particular fixed range to trade. This flexibility is crucial for analyzing price movements within specific ranges or market phases.
Fixed ranges allow VWAPs to be calculated and anchored to a significant market event, the beginning of a consolidation phase or after a major news announcement.
Signal Generation:
The indicator generates buy and sell signals based on the relationship of the price to the VWAPs. It also allows for setting a maximum number of signals in one direction to avoid overtrading or pyramiding. Be sure to wait for the candle close before trading on the signals.
Average Buy/Sell Signal Lines:
Lines can be plotted to display the average buy and sell signal prices. The difference between the lines shows the average profit per trade when trading on the signals in that range. It's a good way to see how profitable a range is on average without backtesting the signals. The lines will also often turn into support and resistance areas, similar to value areas in a volume profile.
Customizable Settings:
Traders have control over various settings, such as the VWAP calculation method and bar color. There are also tooltips for every function.
Hidden Feature:
There's a subtle feature in this indicator: if you have 'Indicator values' turned on in TradingView, you'll see a Sell/Buy Ratio displayed only in the status line. This ratio indicates whether there are more sell signals than buy signals in a range, regardless of the Max Signals setting. A red value above 1 suggests that the market is trending upward, indicating you might want to hold your long positions a bit longer. Conversely, a green value below 1 implies a downward trend.
PhantomFlow AccumulationDetectorThe PhantomFlow AccumulationDetector indicator analyzes the volume profile and displays potential accumulation based on the selected timeframe in the settings. This indicator can be used both as zones for trend following and for identifying reversals, as shown in the examples on the chart. The logic behind the formation of the accumulation zone is based on the fact that the POC (Point of Control) of the current zone is within the Volume Area range of the previous period.
Optimal settings for the working timeframe should be chosen visually, and the size of the zones should not be too large or too small. Additionally, it's advisable not to consider overly wide zones during increased volatility.
Consecutive zones within the same range often indicate a potential reversal.
We borrowed the volume profile calculation code from @LonesomeTheBlue. Thank you for the work done!
Halfback + One-Time-Framing BarsThis indicator is designed to be used with Market Profile / Volume Profile trading techniques on a 30min chart.
The halfback of a candle is the mid point between the high and the low of the candle. A halfback trade can be taken once price retraces into this point as support/resistance using the prevailing trend as your trade direction.
One-Time-Framing is a fancy term for trending in one direction. One-Time-Framing happens when a candle breaks the previous candle's high without testing the low or when a candle breaks the low of the previous candle without testing the high. This indicates that the trend is one directional and opposing pressure is very weak. Taking trades in the opposing direction of multiple OTF bars is typically a bad trade setup.
Halfback and OTF setups are typically used on a 30min timeframe combined with Market or Volume Profile, but you can experiment with these setups on any timeframe if you wish.
I hope you all enjoy this indicator, comment below if you have any questions.
Koalafied Volume Extension BubblesCircles based on extensions from volume Z-Score. Large volume candles can often signal exhaustion or show market strength in reversals or breakouts. Circles can be offset back to the start of the day/profile or left at the time where they occur.
Colours denoting deviations from the mean are
+2 std dev - Green
+1 std dev - Blue
-1 std dev - Red
-2 std dev - Purple
Concept is primarily as a pseudo volume profile delta tool. Obviously it's a very basic heuristic so would recommend further reading and use of actually footprint data to base trading decisions on.
Swing Assassin's Consolidated ScriptI put this script together to essentially consolidate a number of scripts that I use on a daily basis into one script. This is an ongoing improvement effort, so there may be some garbage in here right now so keep that in mind if you intend to use this to help in your trading.
There are 5 moving averages (Hull). I use the Fast, Mid and Slow to find entries after I us the Medium Slow and Super Slow to identify a trend. Otherwise, I have those three turned off.
This script also uses Bollinger Bands which I literally cannot trade without.
The script also has anchored VWAP , automated support/resistance lines, and a homebrewed Volume Profile that is a copy from Ildar Akhmetgaleev's indicator "Poor Man's Volume Profile" used under Mozilla Public License Version 2.0.
Poor man's volume clustersVolume clusters created from candlestick volumes.
See also "Poor man's volume profile" .
The code is generated using a template. To change the settings, you may need to regenerate the code. The code has a link to the repository with the template.
Cumulative Overlapping Volume BarsThis is cheap replacement for volume profile.
Red bars is where accumulated high volume in small range.
if new bar moves out of range all accumulated volume will be lost and color will change.

Footprint Chart by Th16rryDescription of the "Footprint Chart" Indicator
This indicator is an approximation of a true **Footprint Chart** adapted for TradingView, which does not provide access to tick-by-tick data or detailed order book information. It relies on **heuristics** to estimate the distribution of volume between buyers and sellers for each candlestick.
Key Features:
- Estimation of Buy/Sell Volume:
The indicator splits the total volume of a candlestick into two parts based on the candle's nature:
- For a bullish candle (close > open), it assumes that **60% of the volume** is executed on the ask (buys) and **40% on the bid** (sells).
- For a bearish candle (close < open), the estimation is reversed (40% buys, 60% sells).
- For a neutral candle (close = open), the volume is evenly distributed at 50% for each side.
- Calculation of a Simplified Delta:
The delta is defined as the difference between the estimated buy volume and sell volume. This delta helps quickly identify the dominant market pressure—positive for buyer dominance and negative for seller dominance.
- Visual Display:
- A label is placed on each candlestick displaying the delta value, with a green background for a positive delta (indicating buying pressure) and red for a negative delta (indicating selling pressure).
- A table in the top-right corner of the chart summarizes the estimated volumes for the current candle: buy volume, sell volume, and total volume.
#### How to Use the Indicator:
- Analyzing Buy/Sell Pressure:
By observing the label's color and the delta value, a trader can quickly assess whether the market shows a dominant buying or selling pressure during a given candle.
- Complementing Other Tools:
This indicator can be used alongside other technical analysis tools, such as the Volume Profile or trend indicators, to gain a more comprehensive understanding of market behavior.
- Supporting Decision Making:
By providing a visual estimate of the volume distribution, it can help identify divergences between price movement and volume activity, which may signal potential reversals or confirm ongoing trends.
Limitations:
- Heuristic Approximation:
The method of volume distribution is based on simple assumptions and does not reflect the actual order flow, which would require tick-by-tick data to be accurately represented.
- Data Limitations on TradingView:
Due to TradingView’s restrictions on accessing detailed order book data, this indicator can only approximate a Footprint Chart and does not replace specialized tools.
In summary, the "Footprint Chart" indicator provides a visual and quick estimation of the volume distribution between buyers and sellers for each candlestick, offering valuable insights into order flow dynamics while remaining aware of its heuristic limitations.
Footprint IQ Pro [TradingIQ]Hello Traders!
Introducing "Footprint IQ Pro"!

Calculated sell volume at tick level
Imbalance detection
Stacked imbalance detection
Stacked imbalance alerts
Value area and POC detection
Highest +net delta levels detection
Lowest -net delta levels detection
CVD by tick levels
Customizable values area percentage
The image above thoroughly outlines what each metric in the delta boxes shows!
Metrics In Delta Boxes
"δ:", "\nδ%:", "\n⧎: ", "\n◭: ", "\n⧩: "
δ Delta (Difference between buy and sell volume)
δ% Delta Ratio (Delta as a percentage of total volume)
⧎ Total Volume At Level (Total volume at the price area)
◭ Total Buy Volume At Level (Total buy volume at the price area)
⧩ Total Sell Volume At Level (total sell volume at the price area)
Each metric comes with a corresponding symbol.
That said, until you become comfortable with the symbol, you can also turn on the descriptive labels setting!
The image above exemplifies the feature.
The image above shows Footprint IQ's full power!
Additionally, traders with an upgraded TradingView plan can make use of the "1-Second" feature Footprint IQ offers!
The image above shows each footprint generated using 1-second volume data. 1-second data is highly granular compared to 1-minute data and, consequently, each footprint is exceptionally more accurate!
Imbalance Detection
Footprint IQ pro is capable of detecting user-defined delta imbalances.
The image above further explains how Footprint IQ detects imbalances!
The imbalance percentage is customizable in the settings, and is set to 70% by default.
Therefore,
When net delta is positive, and the positive net delta constitutes >=70% of the total volume, a buying imbalance will be detected (upwards triangle).
When net delta is negative, and the negative net delta constitutes >=70% of the total volume, a buying imbalance will be detected (downwards triangle).
Stacked Imbalance Detection
In addition to imbalance detection, Footprint IQ Pro can also detect stacked imbalances!
The image above shows Footprint IQ Pro detecting stacked imbalances!
Stacked imbalances occur when consecutive imbalances at sequential price areas occur. Stacked imbalances are generally interpreted as significant price moves that are supported by volume, rather than a significant result with disproportionate effort.
The criteria for stacked imbalance detection (how many imbalances must occur at sequential price areas) is customizable in the settings.
The default value is three. Therefore, when three imbalances occur at sequential price areas, golden triangles will begin to print to show a stacked imbalance.
Additionally, traders can set alerts for when stacked imbalances occur!
Highest +Delta and Highest -Delta Levels
In addition to being a fully-fledged Footprint indicator, Footprint IQ Pro goes one step further by detecting price areas where the greater +Delta and -Delta are!
The image above shows price behavior near highest +Delta price areas detected by Footprint IQ!
These +Delta levels are considered important as there has been strong interest from buyers at these price areas when they are traded at.
It's expected that these levels can function as support points that are supported by volume.
The image above shows a similar function for resistance points!
Blue lines = High +Delta Detected Price Areas
Red lines = High -Delta Detected Price Areas
Value Area Detection
Similar to traditional volume profile, Footprint IQ Pro displays the value area per bar.
Green lines next to each footprint show the value area for the bar. The value area % is customizable in the settings.
CVD Levels
Footprint IQ Pro is capable of storing historical volume delta information to provide CVD measurements at each price area!
The image above exemplifies this feature!
When this feature is enabled, you will see the CVD of each price area, rather than the net delta!
And that's it!
Thank you so much to TradingView for offering the greatest charting platform for everyone to create on!
If you have any feature requests you'd like to see for Footprint IQ, please feel free to share them with us!
Thank you!
Uptrick: Smart BoundariesThis script is an indicator that combines the RSI (Relative Strength Index) and Bollinger Bands to highlight potential points where price momentum and volatility may both be at extreme levels. Below is a detailed explanation of its components, how it calculates signals, and why these two indicators have been merged into one tool. This script is intended solely for educational purposes and for traders who want to explore the combined use of momentum and volatility measures. Please remember that no single indicator guarantees profitable results.
Purpose of This Script
This script is designed to serve as a concise, all-in-one tool for traders seeking to track both momentum and volatility extremes in real time. By overlaying RSI signals with Bollinger Band boundaries, it helps users quickly identify points on a chart where price movement may be highly stretched. The goal is to offer a clearer snapshot of potential overbought or oversold conditions without requiring two separate indicators. Additionally, its optional pyramiding feature enables users to manage how many times they initiate trades when signals repeat in the same direction. Through these combined functions, the script aims to streamline technical analysis by consolidating two popular measures—momentum via RSI and volatility via Bollinger Bands—into a single, manageable interface.
1. Why Combine RSI and Bollinger Bands
• RSI (Relative Strength Index): This is a momentum oscillator that measures the speed and magnitude of recent price changes. It typically ranges between 0 and 100. Traders often watch for RSI crossing into “overbought” or “oversold” levels because it may indicate a potential shift in momentum.
• Bollinger Bands: These bands are plotted around a moving average, using a standard deviation multiplier to create an upper and lower boundary. They help illustrate how volatile the price has been relative to its recent average. When price moves outside these boundaries, some traders see it as a sign the price may be overstretched and could revert closer to the average.
Combining these two can be useful because it blends two different perspectives on market movement. RSI attempts to identify momentum extremes, while Bollinger Bands track volatility extremes. By looking for moments when both conditions agree, the script tries to highlight points where price might be unusually stretched in terms of both momentum and volatility.
2. How Signals Are Generated
• Buy Condition:
- RSI dips below a specified “oversold” level (for example, 30 by default).
- Price closes below the lower Bollinger Band.
When these occur together, the script draws a label indicating a potential bullish opportunity. The underlying reasoning is that momentum (RSI) suggests a stronger-than-usual sell-off, and price is also stretched below the lower Bollinger Band.
• Sell Condition:
- RSI rises above a specified “overbought” level (for example, 70 by default).
- Price closes above the upper Bollinger Band.
When these occur together, a label is plotted for a potential bearish opportunity. The rationale is that momentum (RSI) may be overheated, and the price is trading outside the top of its volatility range.
3. Pyramiding Logic and Trade Count Management
• Pyramiding refers to taking multiple positions in the same direction when signals keep firing. While some traders prefer just one position per signal, others like to scale into a trade if the market keeps pushing in their favor.
• This script uses variables that keep track of how many recent buy or sell signals have fired. If the count reaches a user-defined maximum, no more signals of that type will trigger additional labels. This protects traders from over-committing to one direction if the market conditions remain “extreme” for a prolonged period.
• If you disable the pyramiding feature, the script will only plot one label per side until the condition resets (i.e., until RSI and price conditions are no longer met).
4. Labels and Visual Feedback
• Whenever a buy or sell condition appears, the script plots a label directly on the chart:
- Buy labels under the price bar.
- Sell labels above the price bar.
These labels make it easier to review where both RSI and Bollinger Band conditions align. It can be helpful for visually scanning the chart to see if the signals show any patterns related to market reversals or trend continuations.
• The Bollinger Bands themselves are plotted so traders can see when the price is approaching or exceeding the upper or lower band. Watching the RSI and Bollinger Band plots simultaneously can give traders more context for each signal.
5. Originality and Usefulness
This script provides a distinct approach by merging two well-established concepts—RSI and Bollinger Bands—within a single framework, complemented by optional pyramiding controls. Rather than using each indicator separately, it attempts to uncover moments when momentum signals from RSI align with volatility extremes highlighted by Bollinger Bands. This combined perspective can aid in spotting areas of possible overextension in price. Additionally, the built-in pyramiding mechanism offers a method to manage multiple signals in the same direction, allowing users to adjust how aggressively they scale into trades. By integrating these elements together, the script aims to deliver a tool that caters to diverse trading styles while remaining straightforward to configure and interpret.
6. How to Use the Indicator
• Configure the Inputs:
- RSI Length (the lookback period used for the RSI calculation).
- RSI Overbought and Oversold Levels.
- Bollinger Bands Length and Multiplier (defines the moving average period and the degree of deviation).
- Option to reduce pyramiding.
• Set Alerts (Optional):
- You can create TradingView alerts for when these conditions occur, so you do not have to monitor the chart constantly. Choose the buy or sell alert conditions in your alert settings.
• Integration in a Trading Plan:
- This script alone is not a complete trading system. Consider combining it with other forms of analysis, such as support and resistance, volume profiles, or candlestick patterns. Thorough research, testing on historical data, and risk management are always recommended.
7. No Performance Guarantees
• This script does not promise any specific trading results. It is crucial to remember that no single indicator can accurately predict future market movements all the time. The script simply tries to highlight moments when two well-known indicators both point to an extreme condition.
• Actual trading decisions should factor in a range of market information, including personal risk tolerance and broader market conditions.
8. Purpose and Limitations
• Purpose:
- Provide a combined view of momentum (RSI) and volatility (Bollinger Bands) in a single script.
- Assist in spotting times when price may be at an extreme.
- Offer a configurable system for labeling potential buy or sell points based on these extremes.
• Limitations:
- Overbought and oversold conditions can persist for an extended period in trending markets.
- Bollinger Band breakouts do not always result in immediate reversals. Sometimes price keeps moving in the same direction.
- The script does not include a built-in exit strategy or risk management rules. Traders must handle these themselves.
Additional Disclosures
This script is published open-source and does not rely on any external or private libraries. It does not use lookahead methods or repaint signals; all calculations are performed on the current bar without referencing future data. Furthermore, the script is designed for standard candlestick or bar charts rather than non-standard chart types (e.g., Heikin Ashi, Renko). Traders should keep in mind that while the script can help locate potential momentum and volatility extremes, it does not include an exit strategy or account for factors like slippage or commission. All code comes from built-in Pine Script functions and standard formulas for RSI and Bollinger Bands. Anyone reviewing or modifying this script should exercise caution and incorporate proper risk management when applying it to their own trading.
Calculation Details
The script computes RSI by examining a user-defined number of prior bars (the RSI Length) and determining the average of up-moves relative to the average of down-moves over that period. This ratio is then scaled to a 0–100 range, so lower values typically indicate stronger downward momentum, while higher values suggest stronger upward momentum. In parallel, Bollinger Bands are generated by first calculating a simple moving average (SMA) of the closing price for the user-specified length. The script then measures the standard deviation of closing prices over the same period and multiplies it by the chosen factor (the Bollinger Bands Multiplier) to form the upper and lower boundaries around the SMA. These two measures are checked in tandem: if the RSI dips below a certain oversold threshold and price trades below the lower Bollinger Band, a condition is met that may imply a strong short-term sell-off; similarly, if the RSI surpasses the overbought threshold and price rises above the upper Band, it may indicate an overextended move to the upside. The pyramiding counters track how many of these signals occur in sequence, preventing excessive stacking of labels on the chart if conditions remain extreme for multiple bars.
Conclusion
This indicator aims to provide a more complete view of potential market extremes by overlaying the RSI’s momentum readings on top of Bollinger Band volatility signals. By doing so, it attempts to help traders see when both indicators suggest that the market might be oversold or overbought. The optional reduced pyramiding logic further refines how many signals appear, giving users the choice of a single entry or multiple scaling entries. It does not claim any guaranteed success or predictive power, but rather serves as a tool for those wanting to explore this combined approach. Always be cautious and consider multiple factors before placing any trades.
Scatter PlotThe Price Volume Scatter Plot publication aims to provide intrabar detail as a Scatter Plot .
🔶 USAGE
A dot is drawn at every intrabar close price and its corresponding volume , as can seen in the following example:
Price is placed against the white y-axis, where volume is represented on the orange x-axis.
🔹 More detail
A Scatter Plot can be beneficial because it shows more detail compared with a Volume Profile (seen at the right of the Scatter Plot).
The Scatter Plot is accompanied by a "Line of Best Fit" (linear regression line) to help identify the underlying direction, which can be helpful in interpretation/evaluation.
It can be set as a screener by putting multiple layouts together.
🔹 Easier Interpretation
Instead of analysing the 1-minute chart together with volume, this can be visualised in the Scatter Plot, giving a straightforward and easy-to-interpret image of intrabar volume per price level.
One of the scatter plot's advantages is that volumes at the same price level are added to each other.
A dot on the scatter plot represents the cumulated amount of volume at that particular price level, regardless of whether the price closed one or more times at that price level.
Depending on the setting "Direction" , which sets the direction of the Volume-axis, users can hoover to see the corresponding price/volume.
🔹 Highest Intrabar Volume Values
Users can display up to 5 last maximum intrabar volume values, together with the intrabar timeframe (Res)
🔹 Practical Examples
When we divide the recent bar into three parts, the following can be noticed:
Price spends most of its time in the upper part, with relative medium-low volume, since the intrabar close prices are mostly situated in the upper left quadrant.
Price spends a shorter time in the middle part, with relative medium-low volume.
Price moved rarely below 61800 (the lowest part), but it was associated with high volume. None of the intrabar close prices reached the lowest area, and the price bounced back.
In the following example, the latest weekly candle shows a rejection of the 45.8 - 48.5K area, with the highest volume at the 45.8K level.
The next three successive candles show a declining maximum intrabar volume, after which the price broke through the 45.8K area.
🔹 Visual Options
There are many visual options available.
🔹 Change Direction
The Scatter Plot can be set in 4 different directions.
🔶 NOTES
🔹 Notes
The script uses the maximum available resources to draw the price/volume dots, which are 500 boxes and 500 labels. When the population size exceeds 1000, a warning is provided ( Not all data is shown ); otherwise, only the population size is displayed.
The Scatter Plot ideally needs a chart which contains at least 100 bars. When it contains less, a warning will be shown: bars < 100, not all data is shown
🔹 LTF Settings
When 'Auto' is enabled ( Settings , LTF ), the LTF will be the nearest possible x times smaller TF than the current TF. When 'Premium' is disabled, the minimum TF will always be 1 minute to ensure TradingView plans lower than Premium don't get an error.
Examples with current Daily TF (when Premium is enabled):
500 : 3 minute LTF

James Gordon StrategyThis strategy is designed to identify potential bullish “bounce” points off a long-term moving average, specifically the 200-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA), on a 4-hour chart. The logic behind the strategy assumes that when price action interacts with this key support level and then closes above it, buyers are showing renewed interest and strength at that price level.
How It Works:
1. Focus on the 200 EMA:
The 200 EMA is often considered a long-term trend indicator. Price trading above the 200 EMA generally suggests an uptrend, while price trading below it suggests a downtrend. By targeting bounces on this EMA, the strategy looks for moments when price is demonstrating a willingness to hold or reclaim a pivotal support level.
2. Bounce Condition:
A “bounce” is defined by two key criteria:
- Test of Support: During the chosen candle (4-hour timeframe), the low price of the candle reaches the 200 EMA or dips just below it, indicating the market is testing that support zone.
- Close Above the EMA: By the end of that same candle, the price closes above the 200 EMA, signaling that buyers stepped in and defended that level.
3. Why This Matters:
When a candle’s low touches or moves below an important moving average, it might appear that the price could break down further. However, if the candle still manages to close above this moving average, it indicates resilience and potential bullish momentum. This can be an early sign of a price rebound, potentially offering a trading opportunity for those looking to go long.
4. Practical Use:
- Entry Signals: Traders may use these bounce signals to time entries, betting on the idea that price could move higher now that key support has held.
- Stop Placement and Risk Management: Traders can define their risk by placing stops just below the recent low or slightly under the 200 EMA.
- Market Context: To maximize its usefulness, traders should combine the bounce condition with other indicators, market structure analysis, and fundamental insights.
Traders should consider the overall trend, momentum indicators, volume profiles, or macro events to increase confidence in the signal.
In essence, the strategy aims to highlight moments when price action “bounces” off a crucial support level, potentially signaling a favorable entry point for bullish trades.
Bull Bear Candles with Volume ProfileUser Guide for Bull Bear Candles Indicator with Keltner Channels
Author: NellyN
Introduction
This indicator helps identify potential bullish and bearish trends in the market by analyzing buying and selling volume over two configurable timeframes. It calculates the percentage of buying and selling volume and displays the current market condition based on two moving averages for 2 periods.
Key Features
• Volume Analysis : Calculates Buy and Sell Volume for two configurable timeframes (e.g., 5 min, 15 min, 15 min. and 1 hour, etc.) and displays them as percentages.
• Moving Averages : Uses one Moving Average (MA) for two different time periods to identify trends (uptrend when shorter-term MA is above longer-term MA). You can also choose other Moving Average types like SMA, EMA, WMA, RMA, VWMA, or HMA.
• Colored Candles : Candles are colored green for bullish conditions, red for bearish conditions, and gray for neutral conditions.
• Market Condition Labels : Displays labels in table-view indicating the current market condition based on Buy and Sell Volume (Very Bullish, Very Bearish, Bullish/Bearish Retracement, Chop).
• Alerts: Generates alerts for potential buy and sell signals based on indicator conditions (Note: Enable alerts in the indicator settings).
• Visual Signals: Provides visual signals through colored candles and market condition labels in addition to alerts.
Input Parameters
• Source: Close price (default) or Heikin Ashi
• Timeframe: Select the timeframe for price and volume data used in the indicator (e.g., Daily, Hourly).
• Colored Candles On: Enable (True) or disable (False) coloring candles based on market conditions.
• Enable Alerts: Enable (True) or disable (False) alerts for buy/sell signals.
• Length of MA: Sets the length for the MAs used in trend identification (minimum 1).
• Lookback Period Vol. 1 & 2: Define the timeframes used to calculate buying and selling volume and the MA calculation (e.g., 5 min, 15 min).
Understanding the Outputs
• Cloud Fill: The area between two MAs is filled with a color that reflects the trend (green for uptrend, red for downtrend).
• Table: Shows Buy Volume, Sell Volume, Buy Percentage, Sell Percentage, and the current Market Condition Labels. (If you decide to see them uncomment them from the code simply removing the // in front of the code)
• Colored Candles and Market Condition Labels: Look for green candles and bullish labels for potential buying opportunities, and vice versa for red candles and bearish labels.
Bullish green label appears when short-term MA is above long-term MA AND Buy Volume percentage is greater than 50%.
Red cross for exiting long entry appears when we have bearish volume OR bearish crossover of the MA for the 2 periods.
Bearish red label appears when short-term MA is below long-term MA AND Buy Volume percentage is less than 50%.
Green cross for exiting short entry appears when we have bullish volume OR bullish crossover of the MA for the 2 periods.
• Bullish/Bearish Retracement: The moving averages indicate a potential trend reversal, while the Buy Volume percentage suggests a continuation of the prior trend. The candle color may be green, red, or gray depending on the current price position relative to the moving averages.
• Chop (Gray Candle): The moving averages are flat and the Buy Volume percentage is not significantly above or below 50%.
• Buy/Sell Alerts: The indicator generates alerts based on specific conditions, but these should be used in conjunction with other trading strategies and careful risk management.

Ultimate Multi Indicator - by SachaThe Ultimate Multi Indicator: The Ultimate Guide To Profit
This custom indicator, the Ultimate Multi Indicator , integrates multiple trading indicators to have powerful buy and sell signals. I combined MACD, EMA, RSI, Bollinger Bands, Volume Profile, and Ichimoku Cloud indicators to help traders analyze both short-term and long-term price movements.
Key Components and How to Use Them
- MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence):
- Use for trend direction and potentiality of reversals.
- The blue line (MACD Line) crossing above the orange line (Signal Line) indicates a bullish reversal; the opposite signals a bearish reversal.
- Watch for crossovers to confirm the direction of smaller price movements.
- 200 EMA (Long) (Exponential Moving Average):
- Use to indicate a long-term trend direction.
- If the price is above the 200 EMA, the market is in an uptrend; below it suggests a downtrend.
- The chart’s background color shifts subtly green (uptrend) or red (downtrend) depending on the EMA's relative position.
- RSI (Relative Strength Index):
- Tracks momentum and overbought/oversold levels.
- RSI over 70 signifies overbought conditions; under 30 indicates oversold.
- Look for RSI turning points around these levels to identify potential reversals.
- Bollinger Bands :
- The price touching or crossing the upper Bollinger Band may mean overbought conditions are filled, while a touch at the lower band indicates oversold.
- Bollinger Band interactions often align with key reversal points, especially when combined with other signals.
- Volume Profile :
- A yellow VP line on the chart represents significant trading volume occurred.
- This line can be used as both a support and resistance level, and especially during consolidations or trend changes.
- Ichimoku Cloud :
- Identifies support/resistance levels and trend direction.
- Green and red cloud regions visually show if the price is above (bullish) or below (bearish) key levels.
- Price above the cloud (green) confirms a bullish market, while below (red) signals bearish.
Signal Conditions and Visualization
- Buy Signals :
- This is triggered right away when MACD crosses up, RSI is oversold, or price touches the lower Bollinger Band, provided price is above both the Ichimoku Cloud and the 200 EMA.
- A green “BUY” label appears below the bar, suggesting a potential entry.
- Sell Signals :
- This signal is generated when MACD crosses down, RSI is overbought, or price touches the upper Bollinger Band, and price is below the Ichimoku Cloud and the 200 EMA.
- A red “SELL” label is shown above the bar, indicating a potential exit.
Tips & Tricks
- Confirm Signals : Use multiple signals to confirm entries and exits. For example, if both the MACD and RSI align with the Ichimoku Cloud direction, the trade setup is stronger.
- Trend Directions : Only take buy signals if the price is above the 200 EMA, and sell signals if it is below, aligning trades with the overall trend.
- Adjust for Volatility : In high-volatility markets, especially in the crypto markets, pay close attention to the Bollinger Bands for breakout potential.
- Ichimoku as a Trend Guide : Use the Ichimoku Cloud as a guide for long-term support and resistance levels, especially for swing trades.
This multi-layered indicator gives a balanced blend of short-term signals and long-term trend insights, making it a versatile tool for day trading, swing trading, or even longer-term analysis.
Remember that indicators that will make you rich instantly don't exist. To expect minimum profit from them, you shouldn't trade all you have at the same time but only trade with the money you can afford to lose.
After that being said, I wish you traders luck with the Ultimate Multi Indicator!
