Volumetric Rejection Blocks [UAlgo]The Volumetric Rejection Blocks is designed to help traders identify and visualize key price levels where volumetric rejections occur, which may indicate a shift in market sentiment. These rejections can signal potential trend reversals or areas where price action is likely to face support or resistance. By drawing rejection blocks based on volumetric strength, the indicator allows users to observe where significant buying or selling pressure has been exerted, which can be used as a reference point for future price action.
Also indicator dynamically calculates swing highs and lows, analyzes bullish and bearish strengths based on volume-weighted price movements, and displays rejection blocks on the chart. Each rejection block represents an area where the price attempted to move beyond a certain level but faced rejection, either on a close or wick basis. This can be particularly useful for traders who rely on market structure and order flow to make informed decisions about entering or exiting trades.
🔶 Key Features
Swing Length Customization: Allows users to define the swing length, helping tailor the sensitivity of the swing high and low detection to the specific market conditions.
Rejection Block Visualization: Displays up to the last 10 rejection blocks based on user settings, clearly marking areas of significant bullish or bearish rejections.
Volumetric Strength Analysis: The indicator calculates bullish and bearish strength for each rejection block, based on volume-weighted price movements over the last few bars, giving insight into the intensity of the rejection.
Violation Check Type: Offers two options for violation detection—"Close" and "Wick". This allows traders to specify whether a price level is considered broken only if it closes beyond the level or if any wick breaches it.
Bullish and Bearish Block Coloring: Rejection blocks are colored to represent bullish (green) and bearish (red) rejection areas. The color transparency can be adjusted for clear visibility overlaid on the price chart.
Market Structure Labels: Labels and lines marking "Market Structure Shift" (MSS) and "Break of Structure" (BOS) are displayed, giving traders context about significant market structure changes.
🔶 Interpreting the Indicator
Rejection Blocks: These colored blocks on the chart indicate areas where the price faced significant buying or selling pressure. A green block suggests a bullish rejection (support zone), where buyers absorbed the sell-off, potentially pushing the price upward. Conversely, a red block indicates a bearish rejection (resistance zone), where sellers overpowered buyers, potentially driving the price lower.
Strength Analysis: The width of the green and red sections within a rejection block represents the relative bullish and bearish strengths. A wider green section indicates stronger bullish support, while a wider red section suggests more robust bearish resistance. This helps traders gauge the likelihood of price holding or breaching these levels.
Market Structure Shift (MSS) and Break of Structure (BOS): The indicator automatically detects and labels significant changes in market structure. An "MSS" label indicates the first break, suggesting a potential shift in trend direction. A "BOS" label indicates a subsequent confirmation in trend direction, allowing traders to recognize potential trend continuations.
Violation Check: Traders can choose how to interpret breaks of these rejection blocks. Using the "Close" option provides a more conservative approach, requiring a close beyond the level for confirmation. The "Wick" option is more aggressive, treating any wick beyond the level as a break.

Formation Defined Moving Support and ResistanceThe script was originally coded in 2018 with Pine Script version 3, and it was in protected code status. It has been updated and optimised for Pine Script v5 and made completely open source.
The Formation Defined Moving Support and Resistance indicator is a sophisticated tool for identifying dynamic support and resistance levels based on specific price formations and level interactions. This indicator goes beyond traditional static support and resistance by updating levels based on predefined formation patterns and market behaviour, providing traders with a more responsive view of potential support and resistance zones.
Features:
The indicator detects essential price levels:
Lower Low (LL)
Higher Low (HL)
Higher High (HH)
Lower High (LH)
Equal Lower Low (ELL)
Equal Higher Low (EHL)
Equal Higher High (EHH)
Equal Lower High (ELH)
By identifying these key points, the script builds a foundation for tracking and responding to changes in price structure.
Pre-defined Formations and Comparisons:
The indicator calculates and recognises nine different pre-defined formations, such as bullish and bearish formations, based on the sequence of price levels.
These formations are compared against previous levels and formations, allowing for a sophisticated understanding of recent market movements and momentum shifts.
This formation-based approach provides insights into whether the price is likely to maintain, break, or reverse key levels.
Dynamic Support and Resistance Levels:
The indicator offers an option to toggle Moving Support and Resistance Levels.
When enabled, the support and resistance levels dynamically adjust:
Upon a change in the detected formation.
When the bar’s closing price breaks the last defined support or resistance level.
This feature ensures that the support and resistance levels adapt quickly to market changes, giving a more accurate and responsive perspective.
Customisable Price Source:
Users can choose the price source for level detection, selecting between close or high/low prices.
This flexibility allows the indicator to adapt to different trading styles, whether the focus is on closing prices for more conservative levels or on highs and lows for more sensitive level tracking.
This indicator can benefit traders relying on dynamic support and resistance rather than fixed, historical levels. It adapts to recent price actions and market formations, making it useful for identifying entry and exit points, trend continuation or reversal, and setting trailing stops based on updated support and resistance levels.
IQ Zones [TradingIQ]Hey Traders!
Introducing "IQ Zones".
"IQ Zones" is an indicator that combines support and resistance identification with volume, the "value area" of a candlestick to be exact. IQ Zones identifies turning points in the market; however, the candlestick high or low that formed the key turning point is not necessarily distinguished as the support/resistance area. Instead, the script looks into the bar at lower timeframes and calculates the value area of the candlestick that formed the support or resistance level. Therefore, any lines protruding from a candlestick reflect the value area of that candlestick. These levels (value area high and value area low) are marked on the candlestick as a support/resistance level. If the level formed on high volume it's marked as an "IQ Zone".
Additionally, IQ Zones presents a heat map to show volume intensity at nearby price areas. The heatmap is a product of the Volume Profile (IQ Profile) located on the right of the chart.
The IQ Profile is a segmented volume profile. Recent price is split into fifths (customizable), and individual volume profiles are calculated for all segmented price areas. Price is split into more than one segment to avoid a situation where volume in a ranging price zone far surpasses all other recent price areas - creating an "unusable" volume profile that doesn't offer helpful insights. If desired, you can set the segmenting option to "1" to calculate one unified volume profile for the entire price range.
The image above shows IQ Zones in action!
Core Features of IQ Zones
Value Area Support and Resistance Levels
Segmented volume profile for the recent trading period
Volume intensity heatmap
Support and resistance levels in high volume intensity may be more significant as price stoppers
The image above explains the labels marked along the y-axis of the IQ Profile.
The "more green" a price area/label is, the higher the volume intensity at the marked support/resistance area.
The image above further explains line lines protruding from the IQ Profile.
For this example, the value area of the candlestick (where most trading action occurred) is quite far from the high price of the candlestick that formed a resistance level! Using the value area of a candlestick that marks a key turning point to draw support/resistance offers insight into where the majority of trading action took place when the support/resistance level was forming!
Additionally, you can hover your mouse over the IQ Zone labels (triangles pointing up or down) to see the prices of the value area for the support/resistance level, including the total buying volume and total selling volume at the price area!
The image above further explains the IQ Profile!
You can segment the recent price area anywhere from 1 - 15 times.
The image above further explains IQ Zones and the IQ Profile!
That will be all for this indicator - a fun project to share with the community.
Thank you!

ARMORE Capital: Support–Resistance Levels v2.0 [Enhanced]Enhanced S/R Levels with Signals
The "Enhanced S R Levels with Signals" indicator is designed to help traders and investors identify key Support and Resistance levels on a price chart. It also includes LONG and SHORT signals to help you see potential buy and sell opportunities. Here's a beginner-friendly breakdown of how it works and how to use it:
How it Works
Support and Resistance Levels:
Support Levels (blue lines) are prices where the stock tends to find a "floor" or buying interest, potentially pushing the price up. These levels are calculated based on the lowest prices over a period, with the sensitivity setting helping adjust the distance between each support level.
Resistance Levels (red lines) are prices where the stock often encounters a "ceiling" or selling interest, which could push the price down. These levels are calculated based on the highest prices over a period, with sensitivity adjusting the distance between each resistance level.
The indicator plots up to five support and five resistance lines, giving you a layered view of price levels where the market may react.
LONG and SHORT Signals:
LONG Signal (green arrow pointing up): When the closing price goes above the closest support level, the indicator shows a LONG signal below the bar, suggesting a potential upward trend.
SHORT Signal (red arrow pointing down): When the closing price goes below the closest resistance level, the indicator shows a SHORT signal above the bar, indicating a potential downward trend.
Background Ribbons:
When a LONG condition is met, a faint green background appears on the chart as a visual cue.
When a SHORT condition is met, a faint red background appears to signal potential bearish pressure.
How to Use It
1. Finding Entry and Exit Points: Use the LONG and SHORT signals as a guide, but remember to consider other factors before making trading decisions. A LONG signal suggests that price may rise, while a SHORT signal indicates potential downside.
2. Support & Resistance Levels: Treat these levels as potential points of interest. Prices often react at support or resistance, so you can look for confirmation (e.g., reversal patterns, volume spikes) around these levels.
3. Experiment with Sensitivity: Adjust the "Sensitivity" setting to see how it changes the spacing of support and resistance levels. Higher sensitivity may show more frequent support/resistance levels, which can be helpful for short-term traders.
DISCLAIMER : This is purely experimental and shouldn't be considered a blatant Buy-Sell Indicator. Please feel free to use it to supplement your research, share it with your friends, iterate and improve upon it, and use it to build better, more powerful tools!
Remember, always combine technical indicators with other analysis methods and manage your risk responsibly. Happy Trading!
CSP Key Level Finder This script is designed for option sellers, particularly those using strategies like cash-secured puts (CSPs), to help automate the process of identifying key levels in the market. The core functionality is to calculate a specific price level where a 5% return can be achieved based on the historical volatility of the underlying asset. This level is visually plotted on a chart to guide traders in making more informed decisions without manually calculating the thresholds themselves.
The script incorporates implied volatility (IV) data to determine the volatility rank of the asset and calculates historical volatility (HV) based on price movements. These volatility measures help assess market conditions. The resulting key level is drawn as a line on the chart, along with a label that includes relevant information about volatility, making it easier for traders to evaluate potential option selling strategies.
Additionally, the script includes user input options, allowing users to control when to display the key level on the chart, offering flexibility based on individual needs. Overall, the script provides a visual aid for option sellers to streamline the process of identifying attractive entry points.
Price Action StrategyThe **Price Action Strategy** is a tool designed to capture potential market reversals by utilizing classic reversal candlestick patterns such as Hammer, Shooting Star, Doji, and Pin Bar near dinamic support and resistance levels.
***Note to moderators
- The moving average was removed from the strategy because it was not suitable for the strategy and not participating in the entry or exit criteria.
- The moving average length has been replaced/renamed by the support/resistance lenght.
- The bullish engulfing and bearish engulfing patterns were also removed because in practice they were not working as entry criteria, since the candle price invariably closes far from the support/resistance level even considering the sensitivity range. There was no change in the backtest results after removing these patterns.
### Key Elements of the Strategy
1. Support and Resistance Levels
- Support and resistance are pivotal price levels where the asset has previously struggled to move lower (support) or higher (resistance). These levels act as psychological barriers where buying interest (at support) or selling interest (at resistance) often increases, potentially causing price reversals.
- In this strategy, support is calculated as the lowest low and resistance as the highest high over a 16-period length. When the price nears these levels, it indicates possible zones for a reversal, and the strategy looks for specific candlestick patterns to confirm an entry.
2. Candlestick Patterns
- This strategy uses classic reversal patterns, including:
- **Hammer**: Indicates a buy signal, suggesting rejection of lower prices.
- **Shooting Star**: Suggests a sell signal, showing rejection of higher prices.
- **Doji**: Reflects indecision and potential reversal.
- **Pin Bar**: Represents price rejection with a long shadow, often signaling a reversal.
By combining these reversal patterns with the proximity to dinamic support or resistance levels, the strategy aims to capture potential reversal movements.
3. Sensitivity Level
- The sensitivity parameter adjusts the acceptable range (Default 0.018 = 1.8%) around support and resistance levels within which reversal patterns can trigger trades (i.e. the closing price of the candle must occur within the specified range defined by the sensitivity parameter). A higher sensitivity value expands this range, potentially leading to less accurate signals, as it may allow for more false positives.
4. Entry Criteria
- **Buy (Long)**: A Hammer, Doji, or Pin Bar pattern near support.
- **Sell (Short)**: A Shooting Star, Doji, or Pin Bar near resistance.
5. Exit criteria
- Take profit = 9.5%
- Stop loss = 16%
6. No Repainting
- The Price Action Strategy is not subject to repainting.
7. Position Sizing by Equity and risk management
- This strategy has a default configuration to operate with 35% of the equity. The stop loss is set to 16% from the entry price. This way, the strategy is putting at risk about 16% of 35% of equity, that is, around 5.6% of equity for each trade. The percentage of equity and stop loss can be adjusted by the user according to their risk management.
8. Backtest results
- This strategy was subjected to deep backtest and operations in replay mode on **1000000MOGUSDT.P**, with the inclusion of transaction fees at 0.12% and slipagge of 5 ticks, and the past results have shown consistent profitability. Past results are no guarantee of future results. The strategy's backtest results may even be due to overfitting with past data.
9. Chart Visualization
- Support and resistance levels are displayed as green (support) and red (resistance) lines.
- Only the candlestick pattern that generated the entry signal to triger the trade is identified and labeled on the chart. During the operation, the occurrence of new Doji, Pin Bar, Hammer and Shooting Star patterns will not be demonstrated on the chart, since the exit criteria are based on percentage take profit and stop loss.
Doji:
Pin Bar and Doji
Shooting Star and Doji

10. Default settings
Chart timeframe: 20 min
Moving average lenght: 16
Sensitivity: 0.018
Stop loss (%): 16

Alboncalc: Top and Bottom Detector - Straight Line ContinuityDescription:
The "Alboncalc: Top and Bottom Detector - Straight Line Continuity" is an innovative indicator for identifying key price reversal points (tops and bottoms) with precision. Unlike traditional indicators that focus on abstract data representations like oscillators or momentum-based lines, this indicator directly overlays the price chart. It draws a continuous line connecting highs and lows (tops and bottoms), providing traders with a clear and immediate visual representation of market swings. The lines automatically adjust in real-time, maintaining a straight path during trend continuations and only shifting when a trend reversal is detected.
Originality and Usefulness:
This indicator stands out from other tools available on TradingView due to its unique ability to maintain a continuous line across price swings, preserving accuracy and visual clarity. Most traditional top-and-bottom detectors merely mark points or provide indicators that are disconnected from price action, making it harder for traders to spot patterns. This script takes a different approach by drawing lines directly on the price chart, offering greater precision and better trend visualization. This innovation is particularly useful for traders who rely on visual cues and price action analysis to make decisions. It simplifies the process of identifying reversal points and trends without needing to rely on lagging indicators.
How It Works:
This indicator detects tops and bottoms based on user-defined periods. When the highest point in a given period is detected, it marks it as a top, and similarly, when the lowest point is detected, it marks it as a bottom. As the price moves, the indicator adjusts the lines to connect consecutive tops and bottoms. If the trend continues in the same direction (e.g., an uptrend), the line remains straight and extends. If a reversal is detected, a new line is drawn to connect the previous bottom (or top) to the new reversal point, providing an accurate visual representation of market trends.
How to Use:
1. Load the Indicator: Add the "Alboncalc: Top and Bottom Detector - Straight Line Continuity" to your chart from the TradingView script library.
2. Customize Settings: Adjust the "Top Period" and "Bottom Period" inputs to fine-tune the sensitivity of top and bottom detection based on your preferred timeframe.
3. Observe Price Action: As the price moves, the indicator will draw lines directly over the price chart, connecting tops and bottoms.
4. Interpret the Lines: Use the continuous lines to identify ongoing trends and potential reversal points. The line remains straight during trend continuation, indicating sustained movement in one direction. A new line signifies a reversal in the trend.
This tool is ideal for traders using trend-following strategies, breakout detection, or those who prefer clean, visual price action analysis (Only Tops and Bottons).
Underlying Concepts:
The core of this indicator is based on the highest high and lowest low concept, which is common in technical analysis. The logic is simple:
- A top is detected when the price reaches a high point compared to a user-defined number of prior candles (i.e., the `top_period`).
- A bottom is detected when the price hits a low point compared to the prior candles (i.e., the `bottom_period`).
When the price continues in the same trend, the line is extended without a break. This behavior ensures that trends are represented in a clear and consistent manner, which helps traders better identify trend continuations and reversals.
Code Breakdown:
```pinescript
//@version=5
indicator("Top and Bottom Detector - Straight Line Continuity", overlay=true)
```
- This initializes the indicator and specifies that it will overlay directly on the price chart.
```pinescript
var int top_period = input.int(5, title="Top Period", minval=1)
var int bottom_period = input.int(5, title="Bottom Period", minval=1)
```
- These inputs allow the user to customize the number of candles used to identify tops and bottoms. A higher period results in fewer but more significant top/bottom detections, while a lower period increases sensitivity.
```pinescript
isTop = ta.highest(top_period) == high
isBottom = ta.lowest(bottom_period) == low
```
- These lines check if the current candle has the highest high or the lowest low in the defined period. If true, the current price is either a top or a bottom.
```pinescript
var line currentLine = na
var float last_price = na
var int last_index = na
var bool isUpTrend = na
```
- These variables store the current line being drawn (`currentLine`), the last detected price (`last_price`), and the direction of the trend (`isUpTrend`). `last_index` tracks where the last top or bottom was detected.
```pinescript
if (isTop or isBottom)
if (not na(last_price))
if ((isTop and isUpTrend) or (isBottom and not isUpTrend))
line.set_xy2(currentLine, bar_index, (isTop ? high : low))
else
currentLine := line.new(x1=last_index, y1=last_price, x2=bar_index, y2=(isTop ? high : low), color=color.yellow, width=2)
last_price := (isTop ? high : low)
last_index := bar_index
isUpTrend := isTop
```
- The `if` block handles the logic of drawing the line. If a top or bottom is detected, and the trend continues (either an uptrend for tops or a downtrend for bottoms), the current line is extended using `line.set_xy2`. If a reversal is detected, a new line is drawn using `line.new`.
- The `last_price` and `last_index` variables are updated after each detection, and the `isUpTrend` flag is set based on whether a top or bottom was found.
Conclusion:
This indicator offers a more precise and visually intuitive way of identifying tops and bottoms directly on the price chart, making it an essential tool for traders focused on price action. Its ability to draw continuous lines through ongoing trends and adjust only upon a reversal makes it superior in terms of visual clarity compared to most conventional indicators.
$TUBR: 7-25-99 Moving Average7, 25, and 99 Period Moving Averages
This indicator plots three moving averages: the 7-period, 25-period, and 99-period Simple Moving Averages (SMA). These moving averages are widely used to smooth out price action and help traders identify trends over different time frames. Let's break down the significance of these specific moving averages from both supply and demand perspectives and a price action perspective.
1. Supply and Demand Perspective:
- 7-period Moving Average (Short-Term) :
The 7-period moving average represents the short-term sentiment in the market. It captures the rapid fluctuations in price and is heavily influenced by recent supply and demand changes. Traders often look to the 7-period SMA for immediate price momentum, with price moving above or below this line signaling short-term strength or weakness.
- Bullish Supply/Demand : When price is above the 7-period SMA, it suggests that buyers are currently in control and demand is higher than supply. Conversely, price falling below this line indicates that supply is overpowering demand, leading to a short-term downtrend.
Is current price > average price in past 7 candles (depending on timeframe)? This will tell you how aggressive buyers are in short term.
- Key Supply/Demand Zones : The 7-period SMA often acts as dynamic support or resistance in a trending market, where traders might use it to enter or exit positions based on how price interacts with this level.
- 25-period Moving Average (Medium-Term) :
The 25-period SMA smooths out more of the noise compared to the 7-period, providing a more stable indication of intermediate trends. This moving average is often used to gauge the market's supply and demand balance over a broader timeframe than the short-term 7-period SMA.
- Supply/Demand Balance : The 25-period SMA reflects the medium-term equilibrium between supply and demand. A crossover between the price and the 25-period SMA may indicate a shift in this balance. When price sustains above the 25-period SMA, it shows that demand is strong enough to maintain an upward trend. Conversely, if the price stays below it, supply is likely exceeding demand.
Is current price > average price in past 25 candles (depending on timeframe)? This will tell you how aggressive buyers are in mid term.
- Momentum Shift : Crossovers between the 7-period and 25-period SMAs can indicate momentum shifts between short-term and medium-term demand. For example, if the 7-period crosses above the 25-period, it often signifies growing short-term demand relative to the medium-term trend, signaling potential buy opportunities. What this crossover means is that if 7MA > 25MA that means in past 7 candles average price is more than past 25 candles.
- 99-period Moving Average (Long-Term):
The 99-period SMA represents the long-term trend and reflects the market's supply and demand over an extended period. This moving average filters out short-term fluctuations and highlights the market's overall trajectory.
- Long-Term Supply/Demand Dynamics : The 99-period SMA is slower to react to changes in supply and demand, providing a more stable view of the market's overall trend. Price staying above this line shows sustained demand dominance, while price consistently staying below reflects ongoing supply pressure.
Is current price > average price in past 99 candles (depending on timeframe)? This will tell you how aggressive buyers are in long term.
- Market Trend Confirmation : When both the 7-period and 25-period SMAs are above the 99-period SMA, it signals a strong bullish trend with demand outweighing supply across all timeframes. If all three SMAs are below the 99-period SMA, it points to a bear market where supply is overpowering demand in both the short and long term.
2. Price Action Perspective :
- 7-period Moving Average (Short-Term Trends):
The 7-period moving average closely tracks price action, making it highly responsive to quick shifts in price. Traders often use it to confirm short-term reversals or continuations in price action. In an uptrend, price typically stays above the 7-period SMA, whereas in a downtrend, price stays below it.
- Short-Term Price Reversals : Crossovers between the price and the 7-period SMA often indicate short-term reversals. When price breaks above the 7-period SMA after staying below it, it suggests a potential bullish reversal. Conversely, a price breakdown below the 7-period SMA could signal a bearish reversal.
- 25-period Moving Average (Medium-Term Trends) :
The 25-period SMA helps identify the medium-term price action trend. It balances short-term volatility and longer-term stability, providing insight into the more persistent trend. Price pullbacks to the 25-period SMA during an uptrend can act as a buying opportunity for trend traders, while pullbacks during a downtrend may offer shorting opportunities.
- Pullback and Continuation: In trending markets, price often retraces to the 25-period SMA before continuing in the direction of the trend. For instance, if the price is in a bullish trend, traders may look for support at the 25-period SMA for potential continuation trades.
- 99-period Moving Average (Long-Term Trend and Market Sentiment ):
The 99-period SMA is the most critical for identifying the overall market trend. Price consistently trading above the 99-period SMA indicates long-term bullish momentum, while price staying below the 99-period SMA suggests bearish sentiment.
- Trend Confirmation : Price action above the 99-period SMA confirms long-term upward momentum, while price action below it confirms a downtrend. The space between the shorter moving averages (7 and 25) and the 99-period SMA gives a sense of the strength or weakness of the trend. Larger gaps between the 7 and 99 SMAs suggest strong bullish momentum, while close proximity indicates consolidation or potential reversals.
- Price Action in Trending Markets : Traders often use the 99-period SMA as a dynamic support/resistance level. In strong trends, price tends to stay on one side of the 99-period SMA for extended periods, with breaks above or below signaling major changes in market sentiment.
Why These Numbers Matter:
7-Period MA : The 7-period moving average is a popular choice among short-term traders who want to capture quick momentum changes. It helps visualize immediate market sentiment and is often used in conjunction with price action to time entries or exits.
- 25-Period MA: The 25-period MA is a key indicator for swing traders. It balances sensitivity and stability, providing a clearer picture of the intermediate trend. It helps traders stay in trades longer by filtering out short-term noise, while still being reactive enough to detect reversals.
- 99-Period MA : The 99-period moving average provides a broad view of the market's direction, filtering out much of the short- and medium-term noise. It is crucial for identifying long-term trends and assessing whether the market is bullish or bearish overall. It acts as a key reference point for longer-term trend followers, helping them stay with the broader market sentiment.
Conclusion:
From a supply and demand perspective, the 7, 25, and 99-period moving averages help traders visualize shifts in the balance between buyers and sellers over different time horizons. The price action interaction with these moving averages provides valuable insight into short-term momentum, intermediate trends, and long-term market sentiment. Using these three MAs together gives a more comprehensive understanding of market conditions, helping traders align their strategies with prevailing trends across various timeframes.
------------- RULE BASED SYSTEM ---------------
Overview of the Rule-Based System:
This system will use the following moving averages:
7-period MA: Represents short-term price action.
25-period MA: Represents medium-term price action.
99-period MA: Represents long-term price action.
1. Trend Identification Rules:
Bullish Trend:
The 7-period MA is above the 25-period MA, and the 25-period MA is above the 99-period MA.
This structure shows that short, medium, and long-term trends are aligned in an upward direction, indicating strong bullish momentum.
Bearish Trend:
The 7-period MA is below the 25-period MA, and the 25-period MA is below the 99-period MA.
This suggests that the market is in a downtrend, with bearish momentum dominating across timeframes.
Neutral/Consolidation:
The 7-period MA and 25-period MA are flat or crossing frequently with the 99-period MA, and they are close to each other.
This indicates a sideways or consolidating market where there’s no strong trend direction.
2. Entry Rules:
Bullish Entry (Buy Signals):
Primary Buy Signal:
The price crosses above the 7-period MA, AND the 7-period MA is above the 25-period MA, AND the 25-period MA is above the 99-period MA.
This indicates the start of a new upward trend, with alignment across the short, medium, and long-term trends.
Pullback Buy Signal (for trend continuation):
The price pulls back to the 25-period MA, and the 7-period MA remains above the 25-period MA.
This indica
tes that the pullback is a temporary correction in an uptrend, and buyers may re-enter the market as price approaches the 25-period MA.
You can further confirm the signal by waiting for price action (e.g., bullish candlestick patterns) at the 25-period MA level.
Breakout Buy Signal:
The price crosses above the 99-period MA, and the 7-period and 25-period MAs are also both above the 99-period MA.
This confirms a strong bullish breakout after consolidation or a long-term downtrend.
Bearish Entry (Sell Signals):
Primary Sell Signal:
The price crosses below the 7-period MA, AND the 7-period MA is below the 25-period MA, AND the 25-period MA is below the 99-period MA.
This indicates the start of a new downtrend with alignment across the short, medium, and long-term trends.
Pullback Sell Signal (for trend continuation):
The price pulls back to the 25-period MA, and the 7-period MA remains below the 25-period MA.
This indicates that the pullback is a temporary retracement in a downtrend, providing an opportunity to sell as price meets resistance at the 25-period MA.
Breakdown Sell Signal:
The price breaks below the 99-period MA, and the 7-period and 25-period MAs are also below the 99-period MA.
This confirms a strong bearish breakdown after consolidation or a long-term uptrend reversal.
3. Exit Rules:
Bullish Exit (for long positions):
Short-Term Exit:
The price closes below the 7-period MA, and the 7-period MA starts crossing below the 25-period MA.
This indicates weakening momentum in the uptrend, suggesting an exit from the long position.
Stop-Loss Trigger:
The price falls below the 99-period MA, signaling the breakdown of the long-term trend.
This can act as a final exit signal to minimize losses if the long-term uptrend is invalidated.
Bearish Exit (for short positions):
Short-Term Exit:
The price closes above the 7-period MA, and the 7-period MA starts crossing above the 25-period MA.
This indicates a potential weakening of the downtrend and signals an exit from the short position.
Stop-Loss Trigger:
The price breaks above the 99-period MA, invalidating the bearish trend.
This signals that the market may be reversing to the upside, and exiting short positions would be prudent.
Supply and demandHi all!
This is my take on supply/demand. The gist is that it creates a zone if there is a big enough reaction. This is configurable in settings as "Minimum range (ATR factor)" (the Average True Length of length 14) that is the distance that the price must travel and "Reaction bars" that is the maximum number of bars that price must travel this distance. The zones that are shown are the ones that have a retest, break and retest or is unmitigated (untouched). If a zone is mitigated (entered) or broken it is temporarily hidden. For a zone to be created it needs to have this reaction and the previous bar does not.
So this script will show you zones that are fresh (unmitigated), retested or broken and retested. This means that the zones that are shown have "proven" that they are good zones through this. Basically it means that the script creates a bunch of zones and then picks the good once. This makes the script have some latency, but will hopefully give you good zones. A zone is completely removed if it's broken twice (it's okay if it's broken once and can still have a retest after it has flipped from previous supply (or resistance) into demand (or support)).
Here is a zone (the one that has the lowest opacity) that is broken and retested that could have resulted in a good long trade (the settings are default but has a stop in the beginning of 2024):
You have a setting to remove zones that are pierced (broken by price wicks). The following zone is pierced by price (in the beginning of May) that will not be shown after the start of May if you have "Pierced" checked (the indicator has default settings but a stop in the middle of April):
You have a trend section. Zones that create a reaction upwards can only be created if the trend is considered to be up, and vice versa. The options here are "SMA50" (the current price needs to be over the Simple Moving Average of length 50) and "SMA50, SMA200" (price needs to be over the Simple Moving Average of length 50 and the Simple Moving Average of length 50 needs to be over the Simple Moving Average of length 200). If these conditions are met the trend is considered to be up, otherwise it's down. You can disable this by choosing "No detection".
The zones that are shown also need to be within a limit (of the current price). This limit is 10 (factor of the Average True Range if length 14) by default. Set this to 0 to deactivate. This is useful for not showing zones that are far away from current price and therefore unlikely to be interacted with.
You can stop the calculation of zones (through the "Stop" value in the settings). This is useful to see if previous zones were any good. I used it in my testing of the script but left it because it can be nice to have.
The zones created by the script have different transparency based upon the zone's interaction. The clearest zones are the ones that are unmitigated, the second clearest ones are the ones having a retest and lastly the zones which are most unclear are the ones having a break and then a retest.
You can see the concept of this script to be a mix of supply/demand and support/resistance, having zones being unmitigated (untouched) as the most important but also show the zones having an interaction (in the form of a retest or a break and retest).
This is from a previous supply (or resistance) zone that has flipped into demand (or support) and has shown to be a good zone through a retest followed by a rally (default settings):
This zone has multiple retest and then rallies that could have given a good long trades (it has the default settings but a "Stop" time at 2022-01-14):
TODO:
- Create zones based on pivots
- Handle overlapping zones
- Incorporate volume in the creation and/or interaction with zones
- Add alerts
- Add ability to set maximum zone width
- Add ability to set the maximum number of retest bars
- ...?
The example for this publication has the default settings bit a "Stop" and a tighter "Limit" of 4.
I hope this explanation makes sense, let me know otherwise. Also let me know if you have any suggestions on improvements.
Best of trading luck!

CPR by NKDCentral Pivot Range (CPR) Trading Strategy:
The Central Pivot Range (CPR) is a widely-used tool in technical analysis, helping traders pinpoint potential support and resistance levels in the market. By using the CPR effectively, traders can better gauge market trends and determine favorable entry and exit points. This guide explores how the CPR works, outlines its calculation, and describes how traders can enhance their strategies using an extended 10-line version of CPR.
What Really Central Pivot Range (CPR) is?
At its core, the CPR consists of three key lines:
Pivot Point (PP) – The central line, calculated as the average of the previous day’s high, low, and closing prices.
Upper Range (R1) – Positioned above the Pivot Point, acting as a potential ceiling where price may face resistance.
Lower Range (S1) – Found below the Pivot Point, serving as a potential floor where price might find support.
Advanced traders often expand on the traditional three-line CPR by adding extra levels above and below the pivot, creating up to a 10-line system. This extended CPR allows for a more nuanced understanding of the market and helps identify more detailed trading opportunities.
Applying CPR for Trading Success
1. How CPR is Calculation
The CPR relies on the previous day's high (H), low (L), and close (C) prices to create its structure:
Pivot Point (PP) = (H + L + C) / 3
First Resistance (R1) = (2 * PP) - L
First Support (S1) = (2 * PP) - H
Additional resistance levels (R2, R3) and support levels (S2, S3) are calculated by adding or subtracting multiples of the previous day’s price range (H - L) from the Pivot Point.
2. Recognizing the Market Trend
To effectively trade using CPR, it’s essential to first determine whether the market is trending up (bullish) or down (bearish). In an upward-trending market, traders focus on buying at support levels, while in a downward market, they look to sell near resistance.
3. Finding Ideal Entry Points
Traders often look to enter trades when price approaches key levels within the CPR range. Support levels (S1, S2) offer buying opportunities, while resistance levels (R1, R2) provide selling opportunities. These points are considered potential reversal zones, where price may bounce or reverse direction.
4. Managing Risk with Stop-Loss Orders
Proper risk management is crucial in any trading strategy. A stop-loss should be set slightly beyond the support level for buy positions and above the resistance level for sell positions, ensuring that losses are contained if the market moves against the trader’s position.
5. Determining Profit Targets
Profit targets are typically set based on the distance between entry points and the next support or resistance level. Many traders apply a risk-reward ratio, aiming for larger potential profits compared to the potential losses. However, if the next resistance and support level is far then middle levels are used for targets (i.e. 50% of R1 and R2)
6. Confirmation Through Other Indicators
While CPR provides strong support and resistance levels, traders often use additional indicators to confirm potential trade setups. Indicators such as moving averages can
help validate the signals provided by the CPR.
7. Monitoring Price Action At CPR Levels
Constantly monitoring price movement near CPR levels is essential. If the price fails to break through a resistance level (R1) or holds firm at support (S1), it can offer cues on when to exit or adjust a trade. However, a strong price break past these levels often signals a continued trend.
8. Trading Breakouts with CPR
When the price breaks above resistance or below support with strong momentum, it may signal a potential breakout. Traders can capitalize on these movements by entering positions in the direction of the breakout, ideally confirmed by volume or other technical indicators.
9. Adapting to Changing Market Conditions
CPR should be used in the context of broader market influences, such as economic reports, news events, or geopolitical shifts. These factors can dramatically affect market direction and how price reacts to CPR levels, making it important to stay informed about external market conditions.
10. Practice and Backtesting for Improvements
Like any trading tool, the CPR requires practice. Traders are encouraged to backtest their strategies on historical price data to get a better sense of how CPR works in different market environments. Continuous analysis and practice help improve decision-making and strategy refinement.
The Advantages of Using a 10-Line CPR System
An extended 10-line CPR system—comprising up to five resistance and five support levels—provides more granular control and insight into market movements. This expanded view helps traders better gauge trends and identify more opportunities for entry and exit. Key benefits include:
R2, S2 Levels: These act as secondary resistance or support zones, giving traders additional opportunities to refine their trade entries and exits.
R3, S3 Levels: Provide an even wider range for identifying reversals or trend continuations in more volatile markets.
Flexibility: The broader range of levels allows traders to adapt to changing market conditions and make more precise decisions based on market momentum.
So in Essential:
The Central Pivot Range is a valuable tool for traders looking to identify critical price levels in the market. By providing a clear framework for identifying potential support and resistance zones, it helps traders make informed decisions about entering and exiting trades. However, it’s important to combine CPR with sound risk management and additional confirmation through other technical indicators for the best results.
Although no trading tool guarantees success, the CPR, when used effectively and combined with practice, can significantly enhance a trader’s ability to navigate market fluctuations.
RSI/MFI Divergence Finder [idahodev]Monitoring RSI (Relative Strength Index) and MFI (Money Flow Index) divergences on a stock or index chart offers several benefits to traders and analysts. Let's break down the advantages:
Comprehensive Market View: Combining both indicators provides a more complete picture of market conditions, as they measure different aspects of price movement. RSI focuses on recent gains/losses relative to price change, while MFI incorporates volume data to assess money flow in and out of a security.
Enhanced Signal Accuracy: When divergences occur simultaneously in both RSI and MFI, it may be considered a stronger signal than if only one indicator showed divergence. This can potentially lead to more reliable trading decisions.
Identification of False Breakouts: Divergences between these indicators and price action can help identify false breakouts or misleading price movements that are not supported by underlying market strength or volume.
More Nuanced Market Understanding: By examining divergent behavior between money flow (MFI) and momentum (RSI), traders gain a more detailed comprehension of the interplay between these factors in shaping market trends.
Early Warning Signs: These divergences can act as early warning signs for potential trend reversals or changes in market sentiment, allowing traders to adjust their strategies proactively.
It's important to note that RSI/MFI divergences should be used as part of a broader trading strategy rather than solely relying on them for buy/sell signals. They can serve as valuable tools for confirming trends, identifying potential turning points, or warning against overbought/oversold conditions.
When using these indicators together, traders must be cautious of false signals, especially in choppy markets or during periods of high volatility. It's crucial to combine this analysis with other technical and fundamental factors before making trading decisions.
In summary, monitoring RSI/MFI divergences may offer a way to gain insights into the underlying strengths and weaknesses of market movements.
This utility differs from other in that it allows for a choke/threshold/sensitivity setting to help weed out noisy signals. This needs to be carefully adjusted per chart.
It also allows for tuning of the MFI smoothing length (number of bars on the current chart) as well as how many previous bars it will take into consideration when calculating RSI and MFI divergences. It will signal when it sees alignment forming between RSI and MFI divergences in a direction. You will likely need to tune this script's settings every few days or at least anytime there is a change in overall market behavior or sustained volatility.
Ultimately, the goal with this script is to provide an additional level of confirmation of weakness or strength. It should be combined with other indicators such as exhaustion, pivots, supply/demand, trendline breaks or tests, and structure changes, to name a few complementary tools or strategies. It's not meant to be a standalone buy/sell signal indicator!

Ping Pong Bot StrategyOverview:
The Ping Pong Bot Strategy is designed for traders who focus on scalping and short-term opportunities using support and resistance levels. This strategy identifies potential buy entries when the price reaches a key support area and shows bullish momentum (a green bar). It aims to capitalize on small price movements with predefined risk management and take profit levels, making it suitable for active traders looking to maximize quick trades in trending or ranging markets.
How It Works:
Support & Resistance Calculation:
The strategy dynamically identifies support and resistance levels using the lowest and highest price points over a user-defined period. These levels help pinpoint potential price reversal areas, guiding traders on where to enter or exit trades.
Buy Entry Criteria:
A buy signal is triggered when the closing price is at or below the support level, and the bar is green (i.e., the closing price is higher than the opening price). This ensures that entries are made when prices show signs of upward momentum after hitting support.
Risk Management:
For each trade, a stop loss is calculated based on a user-defined risk percentage, helping to protect against significant drawdowns. Additionally, a take profit level is set at a ratio relative to the risk, ensuring a disciplined approach to exit points.
0.5% Take Profit Target:
The strategy also includes a 0.5% quick take profit target, indicated by an orange arrow when reached. This feature helps traders lock in small gains rapidly, making it ideal for volatile market conditions.
Customizable Inputs:
Length: Adjusts the period for calculating support and resistance levels.
Risk-Reward Ratio: Allows traders to set the desired risk-to-reward ratio for each trade.
Risk Percentage: Defines the risk tolerance for stop loss calculations.
Take Profit Target: Enables the customization of the quick take profit target.
Ideal For:
Traders who prefer an active trading style and want to leverage support and resistance levels for precise entries and exits. This strategy is particularly useful in markets that experience frequent price bounces between support and resistance, allowing traders to "ping pong" between these levels for profitable trades.
Note:
This strategy is developed mainly for the 5-minute chart and has not been tested on longer time frames. Users should perform their own testing and adjustments if using it on different time frames.
Chandelier Exit Pro w/ExtensionsChandelier Exit Pro w/Extensions
The Chandelier Exit Pro w/Extensions indicator is designed to assist traders in managing risk and identifying trend reversals. The strategy is based on the Chandelier Exit concept, originally created by Charles Le Beau. It uses the Average True Range (ATR) to calculate dynamic stop levels that adjust based on market volatility. This script not only implements the standard Chandelier Exit, but also introduces extension levels and alerts to enhance decision-making.
Key Features:
➡️Dynamic Stop Levels: The indicator calculates stop levels for both long and short positions based on an ATR multiple. This allows traders to determine exit points by monitoring when the price crosses above or below these levels. These levels adapt in real-time based on price volatility, making them a versatile tool for trend-following strategies.
➡️Extension Levels: In addition to the primary stop levels, the script includes extension levels for more advanced stop-loss management. Traders can view active and extension levels separately, providing more flexibility in their exit strategies.
➡️Labels and Visual Cues: The indicator provides dynamic labels that automatically update and follow the plotted stop levels. Labels include the ATR multiplier value (e.g., "2.5" or "2.5ext"), clearly showing the significance of each level. When price crosses below or above a level, the corresponding label is highlighted, aiding traders in quickly identifying the most relevant stop level.
➡️Bar Confirmation and Alerts: The script includes an "await bar confirmation" option to ensure that the stop levels and alerts only trigger after the bar has closed. Alerts are customizable and will notify traders when price crosses critical levels, helping to make timely decisions without the need to constantly monitor charts.
➡️Multiple ATR Levels for Enhanced Precision: The indicator supports up to four different ATR levels, each with customizable multipliers. This allows traders to set different thresholds for exits based on varying degrees of volatility. For example, Level 1 (2.5x ATR) might represent a tighter stop, while Level 4 (10x ATR) could serve as a wider stop for long-term positions.
➡️Calc_bars_count: Improves efficiency of the indicator by reducing the on-chart calculations in to the past. This input can be found at the bottom of the INPUTS tab.
How it Helps Traders:
💥Trend Identification: By using the Chandelier Exit levels, traders can identify when the trend is likely to reverse. When the price crosses below the stop level in a long trade or above the stop level in a short trade, it signals a potential exit point.
💥Volatility-based Adjustments: Unlike static stop-loss methods, the ATR-based stop levels dynamically adjust based on the market’s volatility. This means tighter stops during low volatility periods and wider stops during high volatility periods, reducing the chance of being stopped out prematurely.
💥Risk Management: The dynamic stop levels and extension levels provide a structured way to manage risk. Traders can set tighter stops for short-term trades and wider stops for longer-term trades. The script's visual labels make it easy to track these levels in real-time.
💥Automation with Alerts: The built-in alert system ensures that traders are notified when key levels are crossed. This helps to avoid emotional decision-making and allows for better execution of trading strategies.
Confluence and Price Fluidity:
One of the powerful ways to enhance the effectiveness of the Chandelier Exit indicator is by using it in conjunction with other technical analysis tools to create confluence. Confluence occurs when multiple indicators or price action signals align, providing stronger confirmation for a trade decision. For example:
🎯Support and Resistance Levels: Traders can use the Chandelier Exit levels in combination with key support and resistance zones. If the price is nearing a support level and the Chandelier Exit signals a bullish reversal, this alignment strengthens the case for entering a long position.
🎯Moving Averages: When the Chandelier Exit signals a trend reversal and this is confirmed by a crossover in moving averages (such as a 50-day and 200-day moving average), traders gain additional confidence in the trade direction.
🎯Momentum Indicators: Traders can also look for momentum indicators like RSI or MACD to confirm the strength of a trend or potential reversal. For instance, if the Chandelier Exit triggers a short signal and the RSI also shows overbought conditions, this could provide stronger confirmation to exit a long trade or enter a short position.
🎯Candlestick Patterns: Price fluidity can be monitored using candlestick formations. For example, a bearish engulfing pattern near a Chandelier Exit resistance level offers confluence, adding confidence to the signal to close or short the trade.
By combining the Chandelier Exit with other tools, traders ensure that they are not relying on a single indicator. This layered approach can reduce the likelihood of false signals and improve overall trading accuracy.
Practical Use Case:
Imagine a trader enters a long position, and the price moves favorably. Using the Chandelier Exit, the trader sets the initial stop level at 2.5x ATR below the highest close. As the price continues to rise, the stop level follows the price, locking in profits. If the market suddenly turns, the price crossing below the stop level signals an exit, helping the trader preserve gains. With extension levels, the trader can further refine exits, adjusting based on their risk tolerance and market conditions.
Good luck and I hope that you can find a place in your tool bag to use this dynamic indicator 🙏
Liquidity Pools [LuxAlgo]The Liquidity Pools indicator identifies and displays estimated liquidity pools on the chart by analyzing high and low wicked price areas, along with the amount, and frequency of visits to each zone.
🔶 USAGE
Liquidity Pools are areas where smaller participants are likely to place stop-limit orders to manage risks at reasonable swing points. These zones attract institutional traders who use the pending orders as liquidity to enter larger positions, aiming to influence price movements. By monitoring these zones, traders can anticipate market movements and potentially benefit from these dynamics.
Beyond general liquidity theory, identifying zones consistently visited by price aids in using them as support and resistance zones. By analyzing these areas, we can assess how effectively participants enter or exit these zones, helping to gauge their importance.
In the screenshots below, we will explore both sides of the same chart in more detail to display how each zone could be viewed from a bullish and bearish perspective.
Bullish Zones Example:
Bearish Zones Example:
🔶 DETAILS
The method behind this indicator focuses on identifying a swing point and tracking future interactions with it. It adaptively identifies high and low "potential zones". These zones are monitored over time; if a zone meets the user-defined criteria, the script marks and displays these zones on the chart.
🔹 Identification
The method to identify Liquidity Pools in this indicator revolves around 3 main parameters. By utilizing these settings, the indicator can be tailored to produce zones that fit the specific strategic needs of each trader.
Zone Identification Parameters
Zone Contact Amount: This setting determines the number of times each zone must be in contact with the price (and bought or sold out of) before being identified by the indicator as a Liquidity Pool.
For example: When a zone is first displayed, it is considered as having been reached 1 time. When the zone is re-tested for the first time, this is considered the 2nd contact, since the price has seen the zone a total of 2 times.
Bars Required Between Each Contact: This is used to rule out (or in) consecutive candles reaching each zone from the calculation, adding a separation length between zone contact points to refine the zones produced.
For example: When set to "2", the first contact point (first re-test) will be ignored by the script if it is not at least 2 bars away from the initial zone proposal point.
Confirmation Bars: After a zone has reached the desired Contact Amount, this setting will cause the script to wait a specified number of bars before identifying a zone. While this might initially seem counterintuitive, by waiting, we are able to watch the market's reaction to the proposed zone and respond accordingly. If the price were to continue through the potential liquidity zone Immediately, it would not be logical to consider this area as a valid Liquidity Pool.
Displayed in this screenshot, you will see the specific points we are looking for in order to identify these zones.
🔹 Display
After a Liquidity Pool is identified, its boundary line is extended to the current price to keep it in view for reference. This extension will continue until the zone is mitigated (price has closed above or below the zone), after which it will stop extending.
Candles can optionally be colored when returning to the most recent Liquidity Pool if it is still unmitigated, and will only color after the zone is displayed on the chart. Because of this, if a candle is colored within a zone, then its color comes from being inside a previously unmitigated zone.
🔹 Volume
Each time a candle overlaps an Unmitigated Zone, a percentage of its volume will be accumulated to the total for each specific zone. The volume total is displayed on the right end of the extended boundary lines.
This volume data could help to determine the importance of specific zones based on the amount of volume traded within.
Note: This volume is fractional to the percentage of candles that are contained within the zone. If a candle is 50% within a zone, The zone will receive 50% of the candle's volume added to its current total.
🔶 SETTINGS
See above for a more detailed explanation of the "Zone Identification" parameters.
Zone Contact Amount: The number of times the price must bounce from this zone before considering it as a liquidity pool.
Bars Required Between Each Contact: The number of bars to wait before checking for another zone contact.
Confirmation Bars: The number of bars to wait before identifying a zone to confirm validity.
Display Volume Labels: Toggles the display for the volume readout for each Liquidity Pool.
Fill Candles Inside Zones: Toggles the display of colored candles within Liquidity Pools.
Delayed Opening Price Line with GuardrailsThis Delayed Opening Price Line with Guardrails indicator will draw 5 price level lines on the chart each day, beginning at the open of the first candle after a delay period specified by the user in the indicator settings. The default delay is 30 minutes from market open.
The lines are drawn at the open price of the first candle after the delay period, and then a specified increment above and below that price level. These increments default to 80 and 100, and can be adjusted in the indicator settings.
Most markets, indices, and equities have a finite and consistent range of price movement within a trading day. Eg. a particular stock may usually move no more that $50 up or down in a given day, which can be proven by looking at a historical chart. This indicator allows the user to quickly display that range on the chart once it's been defined.
Important note: This indicator is designed to be used on an intra-day chart - eg. minutes, or hourly. It will give an error if used on a longer time-frame chart.
Options Series - Dynamic Support & Resistance
🌟 Key Features & How It Works:
⭐ Dynamic Support and Resistance Management:
The script dynamically calculates and draws support and resistance lines based on pivot highs and pivot lows. Unlike static levels that remain unchanged, these lines are updated in real-time. When a support or resistance level is breached, the corresponding line is automatically deleted, keeping the chart clean and relevant. This feature ensures that the trader is always looking at valid support and resistance levels based on the current price action.
⭐ Use of Arrays for Line Management:
The script utilizes arrays to store and manage support and resistance lines (array.new_line(0)). This is a more advanced feature of Pine Script v5, allowing for efficient handling of multiple lines on the chart. By using arrays, the script can easily track and manipulate multiple lines (adding, removing, updating), ensuring that the chart remains optimized for real-time analysis.
⭐ Customizable Inputs for Flexibility:
The script includes user inputs for the pivot length and the line width, making it adaptable to different trading styles and preferences. The pivot length determines how sensitive the indicator is to price changes, while the line width allows traders to customize the visual representation of support and resistance levels. These inputs add flexibility and make the script accessible to a broad range of traders.
⭐ Efficient Breach Detection Mechanism:
The isBreached function is a key part of the script. It checks whether the current price has breached any of the existing support or resistance levels. If a breach is detected (i.e., the price crosses below a support or above a resistance), the respective line is deleted, ensuring that only active and valid lines remain on the chart. This automatic update feature reduces the need for manual intervention, helping traders stay focused on key price levels.
⭐ Visual Clarity and Chart Cleanliness:
By deleting breached lines, the script ensures that the chart does not become cluttered with outdated or irrelevant lines. This visual clarity is crucial for traders who rely on clean, simple charts for decision-making. Removing unnecessary information helps traders make faster, more confident decisions based on the current market structure.
⭐ Scalability for Multiple Timeframes:
The use of pivot points makes the script adaptable to different timeframes, from intraday scalping to longer-term swing trading. By changing the pivot length, traders can optimize the indicator for different market environments, ensuring that it can be applied across various asset classes and timeframes.
⭐ Practical for Range-bound and Breakout Trading:
This script is particularly effective for traders who focus on range-bound markets or breakout strategies. It allows them to quickly identify areas where price is likely to reverse (support/resistance) or break out (when support/resistance is breached), providing real-time insight into market dynamics.
⭐ Simplification of Price Action Analysis:
By automating the calculation of pivots and management of support/resistance levels, the script simplifies price action analysis. Traders no longer need to manually draw or monitor these levels, which is a common task in technical analysis. This provides an edge, as it reduces the time spent on chart preparation and helps focus on executing trades.
⭐ Originality:
The script "Options Series - Pivot Based Support & Resistance" is an original approach to generating support and resistance levels using pivot points. Pivot-based techniques are popular, but the script introduces an automated dynamic way of drawing support and resistance lines, tracking breaches, and deleting lines when they are no longer valid. This aspect adds a refreshing layer of interactivity and functionality that sets it apart from basic pivot point scripts. The use of arrays to store and manage multiple support and resistance lines is also a good application of Pine Script’s newer array functionalities.

Time Based 3 Candle Model CRT FrameworkThe 3 Candle Model Overview:
The 3 Candle Model serves as a sophisticated framework for traders to navigate the complexities of financial markets, particularly within futures and forex trading. This guide not only elaborates on the model's key features but also emphasizes its originality and practical usefulness in the TradingView community. The core principle of the 3 Candle Model revolves around understanding how candle patterns can represent significant price ranges, offering valuable insights into potential market movements. By integrating the model with other critical trading concepts such as the Power of Three (PO3), Open-High-Low-Close (OHLC), and Turtle Soup setups, traders can enhance their ability to identify high-probability trades and achieve better trading outcomes.
Indicator includes:
3 Customizable Timeframe choices to fractally frame 3 candle models for precision
Live Timers for each timeframe to always be aware of the models timing
Parent Candle tracking on every preffered timeframe until new models parent candle is printed
Key Features of the 3 Candle Model
The 3 Candle Model primarily utilizes a three-candle structure, where the first candle establishes a price range, the second candle may act as a confirmation (often termed a "turtle soup"), and the third candle provides the breakout or continuation. This structure is pivotal in determining entry and exit points for trades, ensuring that each trading decision is backed by solid price action analysis.
OHLC Principle:
The Open-High-Low-Close (OHLC) concept is integral to the 3 Candle Model, allowing traders to analyze price action more effectively. Understanding the relationship between these four price points helps traders gauge market sentiment and potential reversals. By incorporating OHLC into the model, traders can develop a deeper understanding of market structure and its implications for future price movements.
Delivery States:
The 3 Candle Model emphasizes the importance of delivery states, which refer to the market's phase during specific time frames. Recognizing these states aids traders in determining the appropriate conditions for entering trades, particularly when combined with the power of three and candle range patterns. This understanding is crucial for positioning trades in alignment with market momentum.
High Probability Setups:
By aligning the 3 Candle Model with inside bar setups, traders can optimize their strategies for high-probability outcomes. This approach capitalizes on the inherent fractal nature of price movements, where previous patterns repeat at different scales. The combination of the model and inside bar setups enhances the trader's toolkit, allowing for more strategic trade placements.
Turtle Soup Formation:
The 3 Candle Model intricately connects with the Turtle Soup concept, which focuses on false breakouts. Identifying these formations at critical levels enhances the trader's ability to anticipate reversals or continuation patterns. The timing of these setups, particularly during specified times like 3:00 AM, 6:00 AM, 9:00 AM, and 1:00 PM, is crucial for maximizing trade success.
Using the 3 Candle Model in Trading
Integration with PO3:
The Power of Three (PO3) is a fundamental aspect of the 3 Candle Model that emphasizes the significance of three distinct stages of price delivery. Traders can leverage this principle by observing the initial range, confirming patterns, and executing trades during the third phase, leading to higher risk-to-reward ratios. This three-stage approach enhances a trader's ability to make informed decisions based on market behavior.
Targeting Midpoints:
Successful application of the 3 Candle Model involves targeting the midpoints of identified ranges. This practice not only provides strategic entry points but also enhances the probability of reaching desired profit levels. By targeting these midpoints, traders can refine their exit strategies and manage risk more effectively.
Aligning with Market Timing:
Timing is everything in trading. By synchronizing the 3 Candle Model setups with the aforementioned key timeframes, traders can better position themselves to exploit market dynamics. This alignment also facilitates the identification of high-quality trades that exhibit strong potential for profitability.
Prioritizing A+ Setups:
By focusing on the 3 Candle Model and its associated concepts, traders can prioritize A+ setups that exhibit a strong alignment of factors. This methodical approach enhances the quality of trades taken, leading to improved overall performance. By cultivating a strategy centered on high-probability setups, traders can maximize their return on investment.

Price Action UltimateThe Price Action Ultimate indicator is an innovative tool designed to provide traders with a comprehensive view of price action based on either volume or touches. By default, the indicator displays touches, offering a unique perspective on price levels that have been frequently interacted with by the market.
At its core, the indicator divides the price range of a specified lookback period into a number of rows (default 25). For each row, it calculates either the volume traded or the number of times the price touched that level. This data is then visualized in two ways: as a histogram and as horizontal lines on the chart.
The histogram, displayed on the right side of the chart, represents the distribution of touches (or volume) across different price levels. Each bar in the histogram shows the number of touches and the percentage of total touches for that price level. The color of the bars ranges from a user-defined low activity color to a high activity color, providing a quick visual reference for the most active price levels.
The horizontal lines drawn across the chart represent the most significant levels based on touches (or volume). By default, the indicator displays the top 3 levels, but this can be adjusted. The thickness of these lines corresponds to the relative importance of each level - thicker lines indicate more touches or higher volume. This feature allows traders to quickly identify key support and resistance levels based on historical price action.
One of the most innovative aspects of this indicator is the option to fade older levels over time. When enabled, this feature gradually increases the transparency of lines as they age, with newer levels appearing more prominently. This helps traders focus on the most recent and relevant price action while still maintaining awareness of older, potentially significant levels.
The indicator offers flexibility in its display options. Users can choose to show levels based on volume, touches, or both. This allows traders to compare and contrast different perspectives on price action. Additionally, the indicator includes options to display a volume profile and a background fill for the analysis range, further enhancing its visual appeal and informational content.
What makes this indicator particularly valuable is its ability to provide a clear, uncluttered view of key price levels without relying on complex calculations or multiple indicators. It distills price action down to its essence - where price has spent the most time or where the most trading activity has occurred. This can be incredibly useful for identifying potential support and resistance levels, areas of consolidation, or possible breakout points.
For traders focused on price action strategies, this indicator offers a powerful tool to enhance their analysis. It provides a data-driven approach to identifying significant price levels, which can be used to inform entry and exit decisions, set stop losses, or anticipate potential market reactions.
This indicator is a tool to aid in market analysis and should not be used as the sole basis for trading decisions. Always combine multiple forms of analysis and practice proper risk management when trading. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
Liquidity VisualizerThe "Liquidity Visualizer" indicator is designed to help traders visualize potential areas of liquidity on a price chart. In trading, liquidity often accumulates around key levels where market participants have placed their stop orders or pending orders. These levels are commonly found at significant highs and lows, where traders tend to set their stop-losses or take-profit orders. The indicator aims to highlight these areas by drawing unbroken lines that extend indefinitely until breached by the price action.
Specifically, this indicator identifies and marks pivot highs and pivot lows, which are price levels where a trend changes direction. When a pivot high or pivot low is formed, it is represented on the chart with a horizontal line that continues to extend until the price touches or surpasses that level. The line remains in place as long as the level remains unbroken, which means there is potential liquidity still resting at that level.
The concept behind this indicator is that liquidity is likely to be resting at unbroken pivot points. These levels are areas where stop-loss orders or pending buy/sell orders may have accumulated, making them attractive zones for large market participants, such as institutions, to target. By visualizing these unbroken levels, traders can gain insight into where liquidity might be concentrated and where potential price reversals or significant movements could occur as liquidity is taken out.
The indicator helps traders make more informed decisions by showing them key price levels that may attract significant market activity. For instance, if a trader sees multiple unbroken pivot high lines above the current price, they might infer that there is a cluster of liquidity in that area, which could lead to a price spike as those levels are breached. Similarly, unbroken pivot lows may indicate areas where downside liquidity is concentrated.
In summary, this indicator acts as a "liquidity visualizer," providing traders with a clear, visual representation of potential liquidity resting at significant pivot points. This information can be valuable for understanding where price might be drawn to, and where large movements might occur as liquidity is targeted and removed by market participants.
