MultiLayer Acceleration/Deceleration Strategy [Skyrexio]Overview
MultiLayer Acceleration/Deceleration Strategy leverages the combination of Acceleration/Deceleration Indicator(AC), Williams Alligator, Williams Fractals and Exponential Moving Average (EMA) to obtain the high probability long setups. Moreover, strategy uses multi trades system, adding funds to long position if it considered that current trend has likely became stronger. Acceleration/Deceleration Indicator is used for creating signals, while Alligator and Fractal are used in conjunction as an approximation of short-term trend to filter them. At the same time EMA (default EMA's period = 100) is used as high probability long-term trend filter to open long trades only if it considers current price action as an uptrend. More information in "Methodology" and "Justification of Methodology" paragraphs. The strategy opens only long trades.
Unique Features
No fixed stop-loss and take profit: Instead of fixed stop-loss level strategy utilizes technical condition obtained by Fractals and Alligator to identify when current uptrend is likely to be over (more information in "Methodology" and "Justification of Methodology" paragraphs)
Configurable Trading Periods: Users can tailor the strategy to specific market windows, adapting to different market conditions.
Multilayer trades opening system: strategy uses only 10% of capital in every trade and open up to 5 trades at the same time if script consider current trend as strong one.
Short and long term trend trade filters: strategy uses EMA as high probability long-term trend filter and Alligator and Fractal combination as a short-term one.
Methodology
The strategy opens long trade when the following price met the conditions:
1. Price closed above EMA (by default, period = 100). Crossover is not obligatory.
2. Combination of Alligator and Williams Fractals shall consider current trend as an upward (all details in "Justification of Methodology" paragraph)
3. Acceleration/Deceleration shall create one of two types of long signals (all details in "Justification of Methodology" paragraph). Buy stop order is placed one tick above the candle's high of last created long signal.
4. If price reaches the order price, long position is opened with 10% of capital.
5. If currently we have opened position and price creates and hit the order price of another one long signal, another one long position will be added to the previous with another one 10% of capital. Strategy allows to open up to 5 long trades simultaneously.
6. If combination of Alligator and Williams Fractals shall consider current trend has been changed from up to downtrend, all long trades will be closed, no matter how many trades has been opened.
Script also has additional visuals. If second long trade has been opened simultaneously the Alligator's teeth line is plotted with the green color. Also for every trade in a row from 2 to 5 the label "Buy More" is also plotted just below the teeth line. With every next simultaneously opened trade the green color of the space between teeth and price became less transparent.
Strategy settings
In the inputs window user can setup strategy setting: EMA Length (by default = 100, period of EMA, used for long-term trend filtering EMA calculation). User can choose the optimal parameters during backtesting on certain price chart.
Justification of Methodology
Let's explore the key concepts of this strategy and understand how they work together. We'll begin with the simplest: the EMA.
The Exponential Moving Average (EMA) is a type of moving average that assigns greater weight to recent price data, making it more responsive to current market changes compared to the Simple Moving Average (SMA). This tool is widely used in technical analysis to identify trends and generate buy or sell signals. The EMA is calculated as follows:
1.Calculate the Smoothing Multiplier:
Multiplier = 2 / (n + 1), Where n is the number of periods.
2. EMA Calculation
EMA = (Current Price) × Multiplier + (Previous EMA) × (1 − Multiplier)
In this strategy, the EMA acts as a long-term trend filter. For instance, long trades are considered only when the price closes above the EMA (default: 100-period). This increases the likelihood of entering trades aligned with the prevailing trend.
Next, let’s discuss the short-term trend filter, which combines the Williams Alligator and Williams Fractals. Williams Alligator
Developed by Bill Williams, the Alligator is a technical indicator that identifies trends and potential market reversals. It consists of three smoothed moving averages:
Jaw (Blue Line): The slowest of the three, based on a 13-period smoothed moving average shifted 8 bars ahead.
Teeth (Red Line): The medium-speed line, derived from an 8-period smoothed moving average shifted 5 bars forward.
Lips (Green Line): The fastest line, calculated using a 5-period smoothed moving average shifted 3 bars forward.
When the lines diverge and align in order, the "Alligator" is "awake," signaling a strong trend. When the lines overlap or intertwine, the "Alligator" is "asleep," indicating a range-bound or sideways market. This indicator helps traders determine when to enter or avoid trades.
Fractals, another tool by Bill Williams, help identify potential reversal points on a price chart. A fractal forms over at least five consecutive bars, with the middle bar showing either:
Up Fractal: Occurs when the middle bar has a higher high than the two preceding and two following bars, suggesting a potential downward reversal.
Down Fractal: Happens when the middle bar shows a lower low than the surrounding two bars, hinting at a possible upward reversal.
Traders often use fractals alongside other indicators to confirm trends or reversals, enhancing decision-making accuracy.
How do these tools work together in this strategy? Let’s consider an example of an uptrend.
When the price breaks above an up fractal, it signals a potential bullish trend. This occurs because the up fractal represents a shift in market behavior, where a temporary high was formed due to selling pressure. If the price revisits this level and breaks through, it suggests the market sentiment has turned bullish.
The breakout must occur above the Alligator’s teeth line to confirm the trend. A breakout below the teeth is considered invalid, and the downtrend might still persist. Conversely, in a downtrend, the same logic applies with down fractals.
In this strategy if the most recent up fractal breakout occurs above the Alligator's teeth and follows the last down fractal breakout below the teeth, the algorithm identifies an uptrend. Long trades can be opened during this phase if a signal aligns. If the price breaks a down fractal below the teeth line during an uptrend, the strategy assumes the uptrend has ended and closes all open long trades.
By combining the EMA as a long-term trend filter with the Alligator and fractals as short-term filters, this approach increases the likelihood of opening profitable trades while staying aligned with market dynamics.
Now let's talk about Acceleration/Deceleration signals. AC indicator is calculated using the Awesome Oscillator, so let's first of all briefly explain what is Awesome Oscillator and how it can be calculated. The Awesome Oscillator (AO), developed by Bill Williams, is a momentum indicator designed to measure market momentum by contrasting recent price movements with a longer-term historical perspective. It helps traders detect potential trend reversals and assess the strength of ongoing trends.
The formula for AO is as follows:
AO = SMA5(Median Price) − SMA34(Median Price)
where:
Median Price = (High + Low) / 2
SMA5 = 5-period Simple Moving Average of the Median Price
SMA 34 = 34-period Simple Moving Average of the Median Price
The Acceleration/Deceleration (AC) Indicator, introduced by Bill Williams, measures the rate of change in market momentum. It highlights shifts in the driving force of price movements and helps traders spot early signs of trend changes. The AC Indicator is particularly useful for identifying whether the current momentum is accelerating or decelerating, which can indicate potential reversals or continuations. For AC calculation we shall use the AO calculated above is the following formula:
AC = AO − SMA5(AO), where SMA5(AO)is the 5-period Simple Moving Average of the Awesome Oscillator
When the AC is above the zero line and rising, it suggests accelerating upward momentum.
When the AC is below the zero line and falling, it indicates accelerating downward momentum.
When the AC is below zero line and rising it suggests the decelerating the downtrend momentum. When AC is above the zero line and falling, it suggests the decelerating the uptrend momentum.
Now we can explain which AC signal types are used in this strategy. The first type of long signal is when AC value is below zero line. In this cases we need to see three rising bars on the histogram in a row after the falling one. The second type of signals occurs above the zero line. There we need only two rising AC bars in a row after the falling one to create the signal. The signal bar is the last green bar in this sequence. The strategy places the buy stop order one tick above the candle's high, which corresponds to the signal bar on AC indicator.
After that we can have the following scenarios:
Price hit the order on the next candle in this case strategy opened long with this price.
Price doesn't hit the order price, the next candle set lower high. If current AC bar is increasing buy stop order changes by the script to the high of this new bar plus one tick. This procedure repeats until price finally hit buy order or current AC bar become decreasing. In the second case buy order cancelled and strategy wait for the next AC signal.
If long trades are initiated, the strategy continues utilizing subsequent signals until the total number of trades reaches a maximum of 5. All open trades are closed when the trend shifts to a downtrend, as determined by the combination of the Alligator and Fractals described earlier.
Why we use AC signals? If currently strategy algorithm considers the high probability of the short-term uptrend with the Alligator and Fractals combination pointed out above and the long-term trend is also suggested by the EMA filter as bullish. Rising AC bars after period of falling AC bars indicates the high probability of local pull back end and there is a high chance to open long trade in the direction of the most likely main uptrend. The numbers of rising bars are different for the different AC values (below or above zero line). This is needed because if AC below zero line the local downtrend is likely to be stronger and needs more rising bars to confirm that it has been changed than if AC is above zero.
Why strategy use only 10% per signal? Sometimes we can see the false signals which appears on sideways. Not risking that much script use only 10% per signal. If the first long trade has been open and price continue going up and our trend approximation by Alligator and Fractals is uptrend, strategy add another one 10% of capital to every next AC signal while number of active trades no more than 5. This capital allocation allows to take part in long trades when current uptrend is likely to be strong and use only 10% of capital when there is a high probability of sideways.

Justification of Methodology
Let's go through all concepts used in this strategy to understand how they works together. Let's start from the easies one, the EMA. Let's briefly explain what is EMA. The Exponential Moving Average (EMA) is a type of moving average that gives more weight to recent prices, making it more responsive to current price changes compared to the Simple Moving Average (SMA). It is commonly used in technical analysis to identify trends and generate buy or sell signals. It can be calculated with the following steps:
1.Calculate the Smoothing Multiplier:
Multiplier = 2 / (n + 1), Where n is the number of periods.
2. EMA Calculation
EMA = (Current Price) × Multiplier + (Previous EMA) × (1 − Multiplier)
In this strategy uses EMA an initial long term trend filter. It allows to open long trades only if price close above EMA (by default 50 period). It increases the probability of taking long trades only in the direction of the trend.
Let's go to the next, short-term trend filter which consists of Alligator and Fractals. Let's briefly explain what do these indicators means. The Williams Alligator, developed by Bill Williams, is a technical indicator designed to spot trends and potential market reversals. It uses three smoothed moving averages, referred to as the jaw, teeth, and lips:
Jaw (Blue Line): The slowest of the three, based on a 13-period smoothed moving average shifted 8 bars ahead.
Teeth (Red Line): The medium-speed line, derived from an 8-period smoothed moving average shifted 5 bars forward.
Lips (Green Line): The fastest line, calculated using a 5-period smoothed moving average shifted 3 bars forward.
When these lines diverge and are properly aligned, the "alligator" is considered "awake," signaling a strong trend. Conversely, when the lines overlap or intertwine, the "alligator" is "asleep," indicating a range-bound or sideways market. This indicator assists traders in identifying when to act on or avoid trades.
The Williams Fractals, another tool introduced by Bill Williams, are used to pinpoint potential reversal points on a price chart. A fractal forms when there are at least five consecutive bars, with the middle bar displaying the highest high (for an up fractal) or the lowest low (for a down fractal), relative to the two bars on either side.
Key Points:
Up Fractal: Occurs when the middle bar has a higher high than the two preceding and two following bars, suggesting a potential downward reversal.
Down Fractal: Happens when the middle bar shows a lower low than the surrounding two bars, hinting at a possible upward reversal.
Traders often combine fractals with other indicators to confirm trends or reversals, improving the accuracy of trading decisions.
How we use their combination in this strategy? Let’s consider an uptrend example. A breakout above an up fractal can be interpreted as a bullish signal, indicating a high likelihood that an uptrend is beginning. Here's the reasoning: an up fractal represents a potential shift in market behavior. When the fractal forms, it reflects a pullback caused by traders selling, creating a temporary high. However, if the price manages to return to that fractal’s high and break through it, it suggests the market has "changed its mind" and a bullish trend is likely emerging.
The moment of the breakout marks the potential transition to an uptrend. It’s crucial to note that this breakout must occur above the Alligator's teeth line. If it happens below, the breakout isn’t valid, and the downtrend may still persist. The same logic applies inversely for down fractals in a downtrend scenario.
So, if last up fractal breakout was higher, than Alligator's teeth and it happened after last down fractal breakdown below teeth, algorithm considered current trend as an uptrend. During this uptrend long trades can be opened if signal was flashed. If during the uptrend price breaks down the down fractal below teeth line, strategy considered that uptrend is finished with the high probability and strategy closes all current long trades. This combination is used as a short term trend filter increasing the probability of opening profitable long trades in addition to EMA filter, described above.
Now let's talk about Awesome Oscillator's "Sauser" signals. Briefly explain what is the Awesome Oscillator. The Awesome Oscillator (AO), created by Bill Williams, is a momentum-based indicator that evaluates market momentum by comparing recent price activity to a broader historical context. It assists traders in identifying potential trend reversals and gauging trend strength.
AO = SMA5(Median Price) − SMA34(Median Price)
where:
Median Price = (High + Low) / 2
SMA5 = 5-period Simple Moving Average of the Median Price
SMA 34 = 34-period Simple Moving Average of the Median Price
Now we know what is AO, but what is the "Saucer" signal? This concept was introduced by Bill Williams, let's briefly explain it and how it's used by this strategy. Initially, this type of signal is a combination of the following AO bars: we need 3 bars in a row, the first one shall be higher than the second, the third bar also shall be higher, than second. All three bars shall be above the zero line of AO. The price bar, which corresponds to third "saucer's" bar is our signal bar. Strategy places buy stop order one tick above the price bar which corresponds to signal bar.
After that we can have the following scenarios.
Price hit the order on the next candle in this case strategy opened long with this price.
Price doesn't hit the order price, the next candle set lower low. If current AO bar is increasing buy stop order changes by the script to the high of this new bar plus one tick. This procedure repeats until price finally hit buy order or current AO bar become decreasing. In the second case buy order cancelled and strategy wait for the next "Saucer" signal.
If long trades has been opened strategy use all the next signals until number of trades doesn't exceed 5. All trades are closed when the trend changes to downtrend according to combination of Alligator and Fractals described above.
Why we use "Saucer" signals? If AO above the zero line there is a high probability that price now is in uptrend if we take into account our two trend filters. When we see the decreasing bars on AO and it's above zero it's likely can be considered as a pullback on the uptrend. When we see the stop of AO decreasing and the first increasing bar has been printed there is a high probability that this local pull back is finished and strategy open long trade in the likely direction of a main trend.
Why strategy use only 10% per signal? Sometimes we can see the false signals which appears on sideways. Not risking that much script use only 10% per signal. If the first long trade has been open and price continue going up and our trend approximation by Alligator and Fractals is uptrend, strategy add another one 10% of capital to every next saucer signal while number of active trades no more than 5. This capital allocation allows to take part in long trades when current uptrend is likely to be strong and use only 10% of capital when there is a high probability of sideways.

Fractal Trend Detector [Skyrexio]Introduction
Fractal Trend Detector leverages the combination of Williams fractals and Alligator Indicator to help traders to understand with the high probability what is the current trend: bullish or bearish. It visualizes the potential uptrend with the coloring bars in green, downtrend - in red color. Indicator also contains two additional visualizations, the strong uptrend and downtrend as the green and red zones and the white line - trend invalidation level (more information in "Methodology and it's justification" paragraph)
Features
Optional strong up and downtrends visualization: with the specified parameter in settings user can add/hide the green and red zones of the strong up and downtrends.
Optional trend invalidation level visualization: with the specified parameter in settings user can add/hide the white line which shows the current trend invalidation price.
Alerts: user can set up the alert and have notifications when uptrend/downtrend has been started, strong uptrend/downtrend started.
Methodology and it's justification
In this script we apply the concept of trend given by Bill Williams in his book "Trading Chaos". This approach leverages the Alligator and Fractals in conjunction. Let's briefly explain these two components.
The Williams Alligator, created by Bill Williams, is a technical analysis tool used to identify trends and potential market reversals. It consists of three moving averages, called the jaw, teeth, and lips, which represent different time periods:
Jaw (Blue Line): The slowest line, showing a 13-period smoothed moving average shifted 8 bars forward.
Teeth (Red Line): The medium-speed line, an 8-period smoothed moving average shifted 5 bars forward.
Lips (Green Line): The fastest line, a 5-period smoothed moving average shifted 3 bars forward.
When the lines are spread apart and aligned, the "alligator" is "awake," indicating a strong trend. When the lines intertwine, the "alligator" is "sleeping," signaling a non-trending or range-bound market. This indicator helps traders identify when to enter or avoid trades.
Williams Fractals, introduced by Bill Williams, are a technical analysis tool used to identify potential reversal points on a price chart. A fractal is a series of at least five consecutive bars where the middle bar has the highest high (for a up fractal) or the lowest low (for a down fractal), compared to the two bars on either side.
Key Points:
Up fractal: Formed when the middle bar shows a higher high than the two preceding and two following bars, signaling a potential turning point downward.
Down fractal: Formed when the middle bar has a lower low than the two surrounding bars, indicating a potential upward reversal.
Fractals are often used with other indicators to confirm trend direction or reversal, helping traders make more informed trading decisions.
How we can use its combination? Let's explain the uptrend example. The up fractal breakout to the upside can be interpret as bullish sign, there is a high probability that uptrend has just been started. It can be explained as following: the up fractal created is the potential change in market's behavior. A lot of traders made a decision to sell and it created the pullback with the fractal at the top. But if price is able to reach the fractal's top and break it, this is a high probability sign that market "changed his opinion" and bullish trend has been started. The moment of breaking is the potential changing to the uptrend. Here is another one important point, this breakout shall happen above the Alligator's teeth line. If not, this crossover doesn't count and the downtrend potentially remaining. The inverted logic is true for the down fractals and downtrend.
According to this methodology we received the high probability up and downtrend changes, but we can even add it. If current trend established by the indicator as the uptrend and alligator's lines have the following order: lips is higher than teeth, teeth is higher than jaw, script count it as a strong uptrend and start print the green zone - zone between lips and jaw. It can be used as a high probability support of the current bull market. The inverted logic can be used for bearish trend and red zones: if lips is lower than teeth and teeth is lower than jaw it's interpreted by the indicator as a strong down trend.
Indicator also has the trend invalidation line (white line). If current bar is green and market condition is interpreted by the script as an uptrend you will see the invalidation line below current price. This is the price level which shall be crossed by the price to change up trend to down trend according to algorithm. This level is recalculated on every candle. The inverted logic is valid for downtrend.
How to use indicator
Apply it to desired chart and time frame. It works on every time frame.
Setup the settings with enabling/disabling visualization of strong up/downtrend zones and trend invalidation line. "Show Strong Bullish/Bearish Trends" and "Show Trend Invalidation Price" checkboxes in the settings. By default they are turned on.
Analyze the price action. Indicator colored candle in green if it's more likely that current state is uptrend, in red if downtrend has the high probability to be now. Green zones between two lines showing if current uptrend is likely to be strong. This zone can be used as a high probability support on the uptrend. The red zone show high probability of strong downtrend and can be used as a resistance. White line is showing the level where uptrend or downtrend is going be invalidated according to indicator's algorithm. If current bar is green invalidation line will be below the current price, if red - above the current price.
Set up the alerts if it's needed. Indicator has four custom alerts called "Uptrend has been started" when current bar closed as green and the previous was not green, "Downtrend has been started" when current bar closed red and the previous was not red, "Uptrend became strong" if script started printing the green zone "Downtrend became strong" if script started printing the red zone.

There is liquidity above highs and below lows. If this is tapped and the market reacts strongly immediately, the probability of a reversal is greatly increased! In the chart, this is defined in such a way that a candle has its wicks BELOW the old low, but the close is ABOVE the old low. the same applies to the high, of course!
In such a case we have an "LQ Sweep"
How does the script work?
Williams 3 fractals are used as a basis. These are meaningful as lows or highs. Whenever a fractal is created, the price level is saved.
This means that not only the last fractal is relevant, but all historical fractals as long as they have not been reached!
If a candle reaches the level, but shows a rejection and closes within the level again, we have our "LQ Sweep" setup.
In the script you can select the timeframe in which the market has to be analysed. When the QL sweep occurs, an alert is triggered. This saves a lot of time because you can analyse different markets in different timeframes at the same time!
Each QL Sweep is marked in the chart when we are in the selected timeframe. These can also be deactivated so that only the last sweep is displayed.
Benefits for the trader:
An LQ sweep is a nice confirmation for a reversal.
If we have such an LQ sweep, we can wait in the lower timeframe for further confirmation, such as a structural break, to position our entries there.
The alarm function saves us a lot of time and we only go to the chart when a potential setup has been created.
You can set different time frames in the script: The selected time frame is then scanned and sends a signal when the event occurs.
Fractal Breakout Trend Following StrategyOverview
The Fractal Breakout Trend Following Strategy is a trend-following system which utilizes the Willams Fractals and Alligator to execute the long trades on the fractal's breakouts which have a high probability to be the new uptrend phase beginning. This system also uses the normalized Average True Range indicator to filter trades after a large moves, because it's more likely to see the trend continuation after a consolidation period. Strategy can execute only long trades.
Unique Features
Trend and volatility filtering system: Strategy uses Williams Alligator to filter the counter-trend fractals breakouts and normalized Average True Range to avoid the trades after large moves, when volatility is high
Configurable Trading Periods: Users can tailor the strategy to specific market windows, adapting to different market conditions.
Flexible Risk Management: Users can choose the stop-loss percent (by default = 3%) for trades, but strategy also has the dynamic stop-loss level using down fractals.
Methodology
The strategy places stop order at the last valid fractal breakout level. Validity of this fractal is defined by the Williams Alligator indicator. If at the moment of time when price breaking the last fractal price is higher than Alligator's teeth line (8 period SMA shifted 5 bars in the future) this is a valid breakout. Moreover strategy has the additional volatility filtering system using normalized ATR. It calculates the average normalized ATR for last user-defined number of bars and if this value lower than the user-defined threshold value the long trade is executed.
When trade is opened, script places the stop loss at the price higher of two levels: user defined stop-loss from the position entry price or down fractal validation level. The down fractal is valid with the rule, opposite as the up fractal validation. Price shall break to the downside the last down fractal below the Willians Alligator's teeth line.
Strategy has no fixed take profit. Exit level changes with the down fractal validation level. If price is in strong uptrend trade is going to be active until last down fractal is not valid. Strategy closes trade when price hits the down fractal validation level.
Risk Management
The strategy employs a combined approach to risk management:
It allows positions to ride the trend as long as the price continues to move favorably, aiming to capture significant price movements. It features a user-defined stop-loss parameter to mitigate risks based on individual risk tolerance. By default, this stop-loss is set to a 3% drop from the entry point, but it can be adjusted according to the trader's preferences.
Justification of Methodology
This strategy leverages Williams Fractals to open long trade when price has broken the key resistance level to the upside. This resistance level is the last up fractal and is shall be broken above the Williams Alligator's teeth line to be qualified as the valid breakout according to this strategy. The Alligator filtering increases the probability to avoid the false breakouts against the current trend.
Moreover strategy has an additional filter using Average True Range(ATR) indicator. If average value of ATR for the last user-defined number of bars is lower than user-defined threshold strategy can open the long trade according to open trade condition above. The logic here is following: we want to open trades after period of price consolidation inside the range because before and after a big move price is more likely to be in sideways, but we need a trend move to have a profit.
Another one important feature is how the exit condition is defined. On the one hand, strategy has the user-defined stop-loss (3% below the entry price by default). It's made to give users the opportunity to restrict their losses according to their risk-tolerance. On the other hand, strategy utilizes the dynamic exit level which is defined by down fractal activation. If we assume the breaking up fractal is the beginning of the uptrend, breaking down fractal can be the start of downtrend phase. We don't want to be in long trade if there is a high probability of reversal to the downside. This approach helps to not keep open trade if trend is not developing and hold it if price continues going up.

Correct Fractal Swings by CRYPTOFORThis indicator adjusts and enhances the normal 3-fractal swing. The author of this definition, uncle_travis, takes into account swings with the absorption of 3 candles and uses them as structure points.
Pivotal MomentsPivotal Moments draws lines for each of up to 500 pivot high and pivot low levels that have never been revisited at the present moment in time. After the Pivotal Moments indicator has been loaded onto chart and any of the subsequent realtime bars that are formed touch or cross a pivot level it is deleted. The duration for how long any touched or crossed pivot levels remain on chart before deletion may be extended by N bars or N units of time.
There are user selectable options for the following:
• Pivot Bars Left : the number of lower highs or higher lows that must be formed before a possible pivot bar can occur.
• Right : the number of lower highs or higher lows that must be formed after potential pivot to validate a pivot bar.
• Lines Show As : the choice of line style to use for the drawn pivot levels includes Dashed, Dotted, or Solid.
• Wide : the number of lines wide for how thick the drawn pivot levels are desired to be on the chart.
• Delay Removal : the number of units that touched or crossed pivot levels will persist on chart.
• Units : the choice of which delay unit type includes nBars, nSecs, nMins, nHrs, or nDays.
• Extend Right : the number of bars right of current bar to extend drawn pivot levels.
• Show : the number of maximum recent drawn pivot levels to keep on chart.
• Colors Used : the colors used for pivots high, low, and dual pivot bars.
• Show Price Labels : the choice whether to show prices for levels.
• On Right : the choice to move prices to right of pivot levels.
• Show Pivot Bars : the choice to colorize pivot bars.
If desired, alerts can be received for whenever new touches or crosses occur for both pivot highs and pivot lows by creating a single Alert. Note that these alerts are triggered by realtime bars which by their very nature are repainting prices, thus the alert creation window will warn of this with an orange exclamation symbol.

Support & Resistance ZonesTitle: A Comprehensive Guide to the Support & Resistance Zones Indicator
Introduction
In the world of technical analysis, the Support & Resistance Zones indicator plays a crucial role in identifying potential trading opportunities. These zones are essential for traders looking to capitalize on bounces or break and retests. In this article, we will delve into the specifics of the Support & Resistance Zones indicator, outlining how it works, how it finds and marks zones, and the various options available for traders.
What the indicator is about
The Support & Resistance Zones indicator, developed by @HarryCTC, is a powerful tool for detecting areas of potential price reversal or consolidation in a financial market. These zones are significant as they can act as a guide for traders to make informed decisions on entering or exiting positions. Specifically, the indicator helps identify:
1. Support Zones: Areas where the price has a tendency to bounce back up after falling, indicating a potential buying opportunity.
2. Resistance Zones: Areas where the price has a tendency to reverse after rising, indicating a potential selling opportunity.
How the indicator finds its zones
The Support & Resistance Zones indicator utilizes pivot points to identify potential support and resistance levels. By analyzing the fractal structure of the price chart, the indicator identifies key turning points, known as bull and bear fractals. The bull fractal is a high pivot point, while the bear fractal is a low pivot point.
The fractal structure is determined by the 'Switch Zone Period' input, which can be adjusted to suit the trader's preferences. A higher value will result in fewer zones being identified, while a lower value will result in more zones.
How it marks zones and why it marks zones
The indicator marks the support and resistance zones by creating rectangular boxes around the identified fractal points. The zones are extended horizontally from the fractal point, allowing traders to visualize the potential areas of price reversal.
The zones are marked for the following reasons:
1. To provide a clear visual representation of potential support and resistance levels.
2. To help traders identify potential entry and exit points based on the price's reaction to these zones.
3. To serve as a reference for stop-loss and take-profit levels when planning trades.
The indicator's for traders trading bounces or break and retests
Traders who focus on trading bounces or break and retests can benefit immensely from the Support & Resistance Zones indicator. By providing a visual representation of key support and resistance levels, the indicator enables traders to:
1. Identify potential buying opportunities at support zones where the price is likely to bounce back up.
2. Identify potential selling opportunities at resistance zones where the price is likely to reverse after rising.
3. Make informed decisions on stop-loss and take-profit levels based on the price's proximity to support and resistance zones.
4. Monitor the market for potential breakouts or breakdowns when the price breaches these zones.
Indicator options
The Support & Resistance Zones indicator offers several customizable options to suit the trader's preferences. These options include:
1. Switch Zone Period: Adjusts the number of periods used to calculate the fractal structure, influencing the number of identified zones.
2. No. of Displayed Zones: Determines the maximum number of zones displayed on the chart, ranging from 1 to 8.
3. Zone Extension: Adjusts the horizontal extension of the support and resistance zones.
4. Resistance Zone Color: Customizes the color of the resistance zone boxes.
5. Support Zone Color: Customizes the color of the support zone boxes.
6. Zone Border Color: Customizes the color of the zone box borders.
Conclusion
The Support & Resistance Zones indicator is a valuable tool for traders looking to identify potential trading opportunities based on the price's interaction with support and resistance levels. By providing a clear visual representation of these zones, the
indicator allows traders to make informed decisions on entry and exit points, stop-loss, and take-profit levels. With customizable options, the indicator can be tailored to suit individual trading preferences and strategies.
Fractals PivotsWhich trader does not know pivots? There are a lot of varieties of pivots indicators of which some are a default on most trading platforms. So what better way to challenge yourself then to create your own kind of pivots. Let's welcome the idea of Fractal Pivots.
Williams Fractal or fractals is a technical analysis indicator introduced by the famous trader Bill Williams in his book ‘Trading Chaos’. He developed it on the basis of the Chaos Theory and trading psychology. The indicator is centred around the idea that there is repetition in price behaviour and fractals can provide an insight into those repetitive patterns.
How does the indicator turn these into pivot lines?
The user will set a time period in which the script will look for fractals. It will then remember all the fractals that happen during that time period.
Let's say you are trading the hourly chart with a weekly pivot setting like in the chart this script is published on. The script will highling the 1h fractals that are happening. Then the next week it will use these exact fractals from previous week to draw the pivot lines.
Another example here is an 8h chart. Look how it uses the previous week fractals this week.
Let me know if you find a very great fractal length+timeframe setting where the levels really get respected. I would really appreciate that.
[JL] Fractals ATR BlockI decided to combine Fractal ROC , ATR Break, and Order Blocks to an Indicator
The Fractal ROC , ATR Break, and Order Blocks indicator combines three concepts to help traders identify potential trade opportunities and manage risk. By using a combination of Fractal ROC , ATR Break, and Order Blocks, traders can gain a deeper understanding of market dynamics and make more informed trading decisions.
Fractal ROC is a momentum-based indicator that calculates the rate of change of the price between fractals, which are turning points in the market. It is calculated by taking the difference between the closing price and the lowest price in the previous n+1 periods, and dividing it by the difference between the open price 2n periods ago and the lowest price in the previous n+1 periods. This calculation is done for both up and down fractals. When the Fractal ROC value is greater than the ROC Break Level (as determined by the input variable roclevel), it indicates a potential momentum shift in the market. This can be used to identify potential trade entries or exits, depending on your trading strategy.
ATR Break is an indicator that helps traders identify significant price movements in the market. It measures the distance between the price and the Average True Range (ATR), which is a measure of the volatility of the market. ATR Break is calculated by taking the difference between the close and high/low, and dividing it by the previous ATR value. This calculation is done for both up and down movements. When the ATR Break value is greater than the ATR Break Level (as determined by the input variable atrlevel), it indicates a significant move in the market. This can be used to identify potential breakouts or breakdowns, and can be used to set stop-loss and take-profit levels.
An Order Block is a price level where significant buying or selling activity has taken place. The order blocks made by ATR Break and Fractal ROC are drawn using boxes on the chart. When the ATR or Fractal ROC level is breached, a box is drawn with the high and low of the candle that breached the level as the top and bottom of the box, respectively. The box is then extended to the right until the end of the chart or until another ATR or Fractal ROC level is breached, at which point a new box is drawn. This allows traders to easily identify significant price movements and potential support and resistance levels on the chart. When an Order Block is identified, it can be used as a potential support or resistance level . If price approaches an Order Block from below, it is likely to bounce off this level and continue in an upward direction. Similarly, if price approaches an Order Block from above, it is likely to bounce off this level and continue in a downward direction. Traders can use these levels to identify potential trade entries or exits, as well as to set stop-loss and take-profit levels.
Overall, the Fractal ROC , ATR Break, and Order Blocks indicator is a powerful tool for traders who want to identify potential trade opportunities and manage risk. By combining these three concepts, traders can gain a deeper understanding of market dynamics and make more informed trading decisions. As with any indicator, it is important to use it in conjunction with other analysis tools and to have a clear trading plan in place.
End-pointed SSA of Williams %R [Loxx]End-pointed SSA of Williams %R is an indicator that runes Williams %R SSA calculation through a Singular Spectrum Analysis (SSA) algorithm to derive a smoother final output. The reduction in noise from the traditional Williams %R is significant.
What is Williams %R?
Williams %R , also known as the Williams Percent Range, is a type of momentum indicator that moves between 0 and -100 and measures overbought and oversold levels. The Williams %R may be used to find entry and exit points in the market. The indicator is very similar to the Stochastic oscillator and is used in the same way. It was developed by Larry Williams and it compares a stock’s closing price to the high-low range over a specific period, typically 14 days or periods.
What is Singular Spectrum Analysis ( SSA )?
Singular spectrum analysis ( SSA ) is a technique of time series analysis and forecasting. It combines elements of classical time series analysis, multivariate statistics, multivariate geometry, dynamical systems and signal processing. SSA aims at decomposing the original series into a sum of a small number of interpretable components such as a slowly varying trend, oscillatory components and a ‘structureless’ noise. It is based on the singular value decomposition ( SVD ) of a specific matrix constructed upon the time series. Neither a parametric model nor stationarity-type conditions have to be assumed for the time series. This makes SSA a model-free method and hence enables SSA to have a very wide range of applicability.
For our purposes here, we are only concerned with the "Caterpillar" SSA . This methodology was developed in the former Soviet Union independently (the ‘iron curtain effect’) of the mainstream SSA . The main difference between the main-stream SSA and the "Caterpillar" SSA is not in the algorithmic details but rather in the assumptions and in the emphasis in the study of SSA properties. To apply the mainstream SSA , one often needs to assume some kind of stationarity of the time series and think in terms of the "signal plus noise" model (where the noise is often assumed to be ‘red’). In the "Caterpillar" SSA , the main methodological stress is on separability (of one component of the series from another one) and neither the assumption of stationarity nor the model in the form "signal plus noise" are required.
"Caterpillar" SSA
The basic "Caterpillar" SSA algorithm for analyzing one-dimensional time series consists of:
Transformation of the one-dimensional time series to the trajectory matrix by means of a delay procedure (this gives the name to the whole technique);
Singular Value Decomposition of the trajectory matrix;
Reconstruction of the original time series based on a number of selected eigenvectors.
This decomposition initializes forecasting procedures for both the original time series and its components. The method can be naturally extended to multidimensional time series and to image processing.
The method is a powerful and useful tool of time series analysis in meteorology, hydrology, geophysics, climatology and, according to our experience, in economics, biology, physics, medicine and other sciences; that is, where short and long, one-dimensional and multidimensional, stationary and non-stationary, almost deterministic and noisy time series are to be analyzed.

Swing PointsEnglish:
The indicator shows the fractals where stop-losses may be located and can be used to trade from their taking.
You can adjust the length of the fractal (the number of bars with which it is surrounded on both sides, to confirm the validity).
You can also display lines from fractal points for clarity.
To keep the chart clean, you can enable deletion of already taken fractals.
Example of use with deleted fractals and without lines:
Русский:
Индикатор показывает фракталы где могут находиться стоп-лоссы и его можно использовать для торговли от их снятия.
Можно настраивать длину фрактала (количество баров, которыми он окружен с обеих сторон, для подтверждения валидности).
Так же можно выводить линии от фрактальных точек для наглядности.
Для сохранения чистоты графика можно включить удаление уже снятых фракталов.
Пример использования с удалением снятых фракталов и без линий:
Smaller Fractals (+ Transparency)Smaller Fractals (+ Transparency)
I find that fractals are super useful, but can visually clutter up the chart pretty quickly. Their opaqueness and just overall bigness can become a bit much.
As such, these are just like regular fractals, only smaller (pine script's`size.tiny` instead of the default `size.small`).
Also, you can set a transparency level to these little guys (default is 50%).
Simple, more polite, and hopefully more useful fractals for those wnting a cleaner looking chart. 😁

[VDB]TrendScalp-FractalBox-3EMAThere are many indicators with William’s Fractal and Alligator. As many use EMA’s it may be useful to define a 3-EMA ribbon and combining Fractal Levels/Box (filling background between top and bottom fractals) for trend scalping. I searched for this kind of indicator in community – some show fractals, some just levels, some with alligator etc. but couldn't find the one needed. Hence thought of this indicator which may be of interest to other users too.
Key Points:
EMA ribbon is created using 3 EMA’s 35/70/105. Users can change these as per their preference. This is used for trend identification – 1. Bullish bias if Price > EMA1 > EMA2 > EMA3. 2. Bearish bias if Price < EMA1 < EMA2 < EMA3.
Background is marked during crossing of EMA1 and EMA2 to alert possible trend change.
5-bar fractals are used to mark the Fractal levels and background between top and bottom fractals are filled to create a Fractal Box.
Fractal levels are marked only when the fractal formation is complete. Given offset is used this is lagging.
How to Use:
Sloping EMA ribbon is used for identifying the trend.
Fractal box break-out/ break-downs are used to trigger the trade with fractal high/low for entry/SL. Waiting for price contraction towards EMA ribbon resulting in smaller boxes is key to initiate trade. Avoid bigger boxes as SL’s will be big and price may move within. To draw the vertical lines of FractalBox change fractal level0 style to step-line.
This indicator combined with the cycle high/low (overbought/oversold) indicators such as CCI/Stochastic/RSI etc. can make it a good trend scalping setup while trading in the direction of momentum in higher timeframe.
This setup could be used for any timeframes. Do your back-testing before using it in live market.
This indicator was achieved by combing some fractal ideas from “Fractal and Alligator Alerts by JustUncleL”

5min Williams Fractals scalping (3commas)Another strategy I'm learning Pine Script on. It is inspired by a MoneyZG youtube strategy called "Easy 5 Minute Scalping Strategy (Simple to Follow Scalping Trading Strategy)".
Again this is a one order per trade strategy compatible with the 3commas bot (works also with the free 3commas subscription). This strategy is based on the signals from Williams Fractals, taking the signals in reverse - red triangle indicates a bottom and hence we go long. The green triangle indicates a top so we go short. By default these signals are only accepted if they occur between the two Emas. However, you can also turn this off and when a WF signal comes in, only the current price has to be between the Emas. Stop loss is set to the current Ema slow and the take profit is a multiple of the distance to the slow ema.
Like previously I have added different filters as well as the ability to view essential things like the WF signal and Emas. I hope the script will help you to be more successful and if so it would be great if you could share here your setups, or tips on what would be good to refine to make it an even a more profitable strategy. Kind of a community approach so that we help each other out :).
Instructions for the 3commas connector:
1. First, you need to prepare 3commas Long/Short bots that will only listen to custom TV signals.
2. Inputs for the 3commas bot can be found at the end of the user inputs.
3. Once you have entered the required details into the inputs, turn on 3commas comments. They should appear on the chart (looks messy).
4. Now you can add the alert where you should paste the 3commas Webhook URL: 3commas.io
5. For the alert message text insert the placeholder {{strategy.order.comment}} and delete the rest.
6. Once the alert is saved, you can turn off those 3commas comments to have a clearer chart.
7. With a new alert, the bot and trade should launch.
In the near future I would like to publish more scripts that will carry similar elements as the first two, incl. compatibility with 3commas (I don't have access to another bot system). I will choose some strategies myself, but I will also be glad for some tips on what strategy would be good to do and is still missing here on Tradingview (short youtube videos or brief strategy manuals would be great).
Thanks and keep it up

Optionally it can use Current or Last Candle of higher time frame to calculate/show its Fibonacci Levels.
It can show higher time frame candles at the background optionally. You can change its colors.
You can enable/disable/change each Fibonacci levels and their colors.
You can enable/disable Fibonacci Labels that is shown at the right ride and see only Fibonacci lines/levels

[JL] How Many Signals last N barsGot this idea after I found Multiple Indicators Screener from QuantNomad.
This script learnt some codes from QuantNomad's great script. Thanks to him.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This table show how many signals happened during the last N bars.
I only take care Forex, so this table only has 28 symbols. Feel free to change it.
Calculate the following signals:
RSI cross over/under 50
Short Moving average cross over/under long moving average
Stochastic k cross over/under d
MACD hist cross over/under 0
Williams Fractals: Up and Down fractals happened.
The concept is simple: Range period will always happen more cross signals than the trend period.
When the counter is less than median of all symbols, will be set green color. So more green mean more chance to be trend.
Fractal Breakout Strategy [KL]Fractal Breakout Strategy
This strategy will enter into a Long position when (a) bullish fractal is formed, combined with (b) ATR is relatively low. Trailing stop loss is set based on ATR.
Bullish fractal pattern :
A bullish fractal pattern looks like this:
It is formed when lower-low has reached a local minimum followed by higher-lows.
By default, this script plots the pivot point (the local minimum) using green crosses. This line will extend to the right until the next bullish fractal is formed. The local minimum pivot point is considered as key level of support. For long position entry, entry price must be higher or equal to it.
On the other hand, a bearish fractal pattern looks like the exact opposite. Reversing the logic, it is a local maximum indicated by higher-highs followed by lower-highs. This is shown by red crosses.
Why use ATR to confirm entry :
Two reasons to enter when ATR is low:
1) Since trailing stop loss is based on ATR, entering the market when ATR is low means risking less for potentially high reward.
2) Low ATR often signals price consolidation. There are two favorable scenarios, either: (i) period of accumulation, or (ii) bull flag, ideally followed by breakout.
Determining whether ATR is low :
Relative lows are quantified out by using the method in my other script: Modified ATR Indicator
The method involves applying two-tailed hypothesis testing to assess whether ATR (ie. by default lookback period of 5) has greatly deviated from a larger sample size (ie. lookback period of 50). Assuming ATR is normally distributed and variance is known, then test statistic (z) can be used to determine whether ATR5 is within the critical area under Null Hypothesis: ATR5 == ATR50. If z falls below/above the left/right critical values (ie. 1.645 for a 90% confidence interval), then ATR is determined to the relatively low/high respectively. For the purpose of assessing whether ATR is low, the left-tail is the main focus.
Profit taking :
Profits by default are taken over 3 levels based on risk to reward ratio (ie. 1R, 2R, 3R). When a target is met at each level, strategy will close out one third of current position size. Remainders (ie. already taken once at 1R, but not yet reaching 2R or 3R) will eventually be closed at the trailing stop loss price.
