MTF Fusion - High Volume Expansion Channel [TradingIndicators]Exceptionally high volume and rapid price expansion are key markers of powerful moves, especially when they occur during a breakout or breakdown. The High Volume Expansion Channel (HVEC) uses our multi-timeframe fusion and price compression/expansion algorithms to look for high volume and rapid expansion from multiple higher timeframes at once. It uses this info to determine a high volume and expansion 'grade', and then encodes this result into a colored channel. This channel coloring varies in intensity based on how exceptionally high volume is and how rapidly price is expanding in either direction.
What is MTF Fusion?
Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Fusion is the process of combining calculations from multiple timeframes higher than the chart's into one 'fused' value or indicator. It is based on the idea that integrating data from higher timeframes can help us to better identify short-term trading opportunities within the context of long-term market trends.
How does it work?
Let's use the context of this indicator, which calculates a 'high volume and expansion grade' (let's call it HVEG), as an example to explain how MTF Fusion works and how you can perform it yourself.
Step 1: Selecting Higher Timeframes
The first step is to determine the appropriate higher timeframes to use for the fusion calculation. These timeframes should typically be chosen based on their ability to provide meaningful data and action which actively affect the price action of the smaller timeframe you're focused on. For example, if you are trading the 5 minute chart, you might select the 15 minute, 30 minute, and hourly timeframe as the higher timeframes you want to fuse in order to give you a more holistic view of the trends and action affecting you on the 5 minute. In this indicator, four higher timeframes are automatically selected depending on the timeframe of the chart it is applied to.
Step 2: Gathering Data and Calculations
Once the higher timeframes are identified, the next step is to calculate the data from these higher timeframes that will be used to calculate your fused values. In this indicator, for example, the HVEG value is calculated by determining the HVEG for all four higher timeframes.
Step 3: Fusing the Values From Higher Timeframes
The next step is to actually combine the values from these higher timeframes to obtain your 'fused' indicator values. The simplest approach to this is to simply average them. If you have calculated the HVEG value from three higher timeframes, you can, for example, calculate your 'multi-timeframe fused HVEG' as (HigherTF_HVEG_1 + HigherTF_HVEG_2 + HigherTF_HVEG_3) / 3.0.
Step 4: Visualization and Interpretation
Once the calculations are complete, the resulting fused indicator values are plotted on the chart. These values reflect the fusion of data from the multiple higher timeframes, giving a broader perspective on the market's behavior and potentially valuable insights without the need to manually consider values from each higher timeframe yourself.
What makes this script unique? Why is it closed source?
While the process described above is fairly unique and sounds simple, the truly important key lies in determining which higher timeframes to fuse together, and how to weight their values when calculating the fused end result in such a way that best leverages their relationship for useful TA.
This MTF Fusion indicator employs a smart, adaptive algorithm which automatically selects appropriate higher timeframes to use in fusion calculations depending on the timeframe of the chart it is applied to. It also uses a dynamic algorithm to adjust and weight the high volume and price expansion grade calculations depending on each higher timeframe's relationship to the chart timeframe. These algorithms are based on extensive testing and are the reason behind this script's closed source status.

StdDev ChannelsThis script draws two sets of standard deviation channels on the price chart, providing a nuanced view of price volatility over different lengths.
The script starts by declaring a set of user-defined inputs allowing traders to customize the tool according to their individual requirements. The price input sets the source of the price data, defaulting to the closing price but customizable to use open, high, or low prices. The deviations parameter defines the width of the channels, with larger numbers resulting in wider channels. The length and length2 inputs represent the number of periods (in bars) that the script considers when calculating the regression line and standard deviation. Traders can also personalize the visual aspects of the indicator on the chart using the color, linewidth, and linestyle parameters.
Calculation of Standard Deviation:
The core of this script lies in calculating the regression line and standard deviation. This is where the InertiaAll function comes into play. This function calculates the linear regression line, which serves as the middle line of each channel. The function takes in two parameters: y (price data) and n (length for calculation). It returns an array containing the values for the regression line (InertiaTS), counter variable (x), slope of the line (a), and y-intercept (b). The standard deviation is then calculated using the built-in function ta.stdev, which measures the amount of variation or dispersion from the average.
After the calculation, the script proceeds to draw the channels. It creates two sets of lines (upper, middle, and lower) for each channel. These lines are initialized at the lowest price point on the chart (low). The coordinates for these lines get updated in the last section of the script, which runs only on the last bar on the chart (if barstate.islast). The functions line.set_xy1 and line.set_xy2 are used to adjust the starting and ending points for each line, forming the channels.
If the "full range" toggle is enabled, the script uses the maximum number of bars available on the chart to calculate the regression and standard deviation. This can give a broader perspective of the price's volatility over the entire available data range.
A Basic Strategy
The channels generated by this script may inform your trading decisions. If the price hits the upper line of a channel, it could suggest an 'overbought' condition indicating a potential selling opportunity. Conversely, if the price hits the lower line, it might signal an 'oversold' condition, suggesting a buying opportunity. The second channel, calculated over a different length, may serve to confirm these signals or identify longer-term trends.
Daily SPY PlanThe Daily SPY Plan indicator is a technical analysis tool designed to provide traders with a visual representation of price levels and take profit points for the SPY (S&P 500 ETF) on a daily timeframe. This indicator utilizes the Average True Range (ATR) to calculate projected price levels and take profit points, aiding traders in identifying potential breakout and profit-taking opportunities.
Indicator Description:
The indicator is written in Pine Script, specifically for use on the TradingView platform. It plots several levels on the price chart, each representing a potential breakout or take profit point. The levels are determined based on a fraction of the ATR added or subtracted from the closing price. The fractions used are 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1.0, 1.25, and 1.5 times the ATR.
The indicator distinguishes between breakout levels and take profit levels using different colors. Breakout levels, which indicate potential entry or exit points, are displayed in green, while take profit levels are shown in gray.
Key Features and Use:
ATR Calculation: The indicator calculates the Average True Range (ATR) using a specified length (default value of 14). ATR is a measure of market volatility and represents the average range between the high and low prices over a specific period.
Projected Price Levels: The indicator plots several projected price levels above and below the closing price. These levels are calculated by adding or subtracting a fraction of the ATR from the closing price. Traders can use these levels as potential breakout points or areas to set stop-loss orders.
Take Profit Points: The indicator also plots take profit points at specific levels above and below the closing price. These levels are designed to help traders identify potential areas to secure profits or partially exit their positions.
Visual Representation: The indicator utilizes step-like lines to plot the projected price levels and take profit points, providing a clear visual representation on the price chart. Traders can easily identify the relevant levels and incorporate them into their trading strategies.
Customizability: The indicator allows traders to customize the ATR length and choose whether to display Fibonacci levels (although there are no Fibonacci calculations in the provided code). These customization options enable traders to adapt the indicator to their preferred trading style and timeframe.
Limitations and Considerations:
Complementary Analysis: The Daily SPY Plan indicator should be used as a complementary tool alongside other technical analysis techniques and indicators. It provides price levels and take profit points based on ATR calculations, but it doesn't incorporate additional market factors or trading strategies.
Timeframe Suitability: The indicator is specifically designed for the daily timeframe of the SPY. Traders should consider adjusting the parameters and adapting the indicator if using it on different timeframes or instruments.
Risk Management: While the indicator suggests potential breakout and take profit points, it does not provide explicit stop-loss levels or risk management parameters. Traders should incorporate appropriate risk management techniques to protect their capital.
Conclusion:
The Daily SPY Plan indicator is a valuable technical analysis tool for traders focusing on the SPY ETF and the daily timeframe. By utilizing the ATR, it helps traders identify potential breakout levels and take profit points. However, traders should remember that this indicator is just one piece of the puzzle and should be used in conjunction with other technical analysis tools and risk management strategies to make informed trading decisions.
Apeiron Fair Value BandsThe Apeiron Fair Value Bands take into account a given MA and determine a Fair Value Area (FVA) for the price of a certain asset. The script plots a MA and a tolerance ribbon for it, as well as 2 bands (preset to 1 Standard deviations and 2 Standard deviations respectively, which can be manually changed) with a tolerance ribbon as well.
This creates 3 areas of interest:
The MA ribbon
The inside of the first upper and lower band (1 standard deviation) where price should stay within around 68% percent of the time according to the normal distribution
The inside of the second upper and lower band (2 standard deviations) where price should stay within around 95% percent of the time according to the normal distribution
Taking this into account, Fair Value analysis can be done:
Premium and Discount Prices: From a very simplistic point of view, when price is below a MA it can be considered to be at a discount and when it is above at a premium. Combining that idea with the levels given by the bands, we can determine if we are buying at premium or at a discount, specially on HTF and when considering investing, thus allowing to enter or exit the market with a higher probability of being on the right side of the trend and at a good level. As seen on the example, buying or selling at the highlighted levels would have been profitable with little drawdown.
VAH & VAL: (1 Standard Deviation Bands) Same as a Market Profile, price will stay in here "most" of the time. And particularly during ranging periods, they will provide potential revesal levels. As well, once prices breaks out of it, depending of the reaction to the second band, we can consider it a deviation or the beggining of a new trend. During strong trends, the bands can also serve as a correction support as the MA would do
New Fair Vaue Range: Once a new trend has begun, it will often slide on or break through Band 2, which can be interpreted as price creating a new Fair Value Range low or high. As seen on the chart, once price breaks out, those levels tend to be respected and relevant during corrections. I must make it very clear that this is just an analytical feature meant to be used in confluence with S/R, Supply & Demand, FVGs, Fibs or others. While it can be accurate sometimes, it might not be other times and be only "close".
Exhaustions: I call exhaustions to the scenarios when price keeps going up/down but it fails to keep pushing the fair value area with it. This indicates weakness in the trend and a potential reversal or correction. These appear on all Timeframes and symbols and are very good indications of tops and bottoms, specially after strong rallies or crashes. In the latter cases, waiting for price to re-enter it's FVA, provides great entries at the Bands levels.
Other features / Suggested Uses:
Middle levels: On the setup menu you can select different Standard deviation settings for each band including: 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5 and 3. While the most relevant settings are 1 & 2, having their middle levels on the chart can provide extra levels for very tight ranges or just in general potential reversal levels.
Multi Timeframe & Multi symbol: The bands work on very low TF as well as High TF, though on HTF it might be limited by the MA length settings and the historical data of the symbol. It is important to note that each symbol and market type will have its own ideal MA and Bands settings.
Multi Bands Confluence: Same as you would use a short and long MA in a single setup, you can do the same with the bands and the confluence of levels can be very accurate.
Multi Timeframe Confluence: One of the best ways to use the bands so far is by using it in confluence with itself in other TFs, when price moves sharply into a confluent level given by multiple TFs, it is more likely for price to reverse there.
Most of the examples show a 200 SMA, but depending on what and how you are trading a shorter or longer MA might be a better fit for you. As well, if you are trading ranges, a VWMA might be much better, and if you are following a trend the EMA could be the better option.
I also want to make it clear that the bands can but are NOT meant to be a standalone indicator. They are meant to be used for confluence with other strategies, systems or indicators.
Order Block & Fractal Zones (OBFZ) Indicator.The "Order Block & Fractal Zones (OBFZ) Indicator." indicator is a technical analysis tool designed to identify and display key price levels on a chart. It utilizes the concept of Order Blocks and the Fractal Value Zone (FVG) to highlight potential support and resistance areas in the market.
The indicator marks bearish and bullish Order Blocks, which are significant price structures characterized by consecutive higher highs and higher lows for a bearish block, or consecutive lower lows and lower highs for a bullish block. These blocks suggest potential areas of market reversal.
Additionally, the indicator calculates and displays retracement and extension levels within each Order Block. These levels are derived from the previous highest and lowest values within a specified number of candles. The retracement levels include 38.2%, 50%, and 61.8%, while the extension levels include 138.2%, 150%, and 161.8%.
Furthermore, the Fractal Value Zone (FVG) is determined to identify the highest high and lowest low within the selected number of candles. The FVG helps identify areas of significant price action and potential breakout zones.
Overall, the "Order Block & Fractal Zones (OBFZ) Indicator." indicator assists traders in identifying potential support and resistance levels, as well as areas of market reversal or breakout. It can be used to make informed trading decisions based on key price levels within the observed price action.
Edri Extreme Points Buy & SellEDRI EXTREME POINTS BUY & SELL INDICATOR
This Buy and Sell (non-repainting) indicator uses signals based on the combined CCI/Momentum and RSI indicators and optional regular divergence.
The idea of the indicator is to look for a potential reversal after the price reached extreme points (overbought or oversold) and signals an entry when the price shows signs of momentum for reversal.
Optionally, it considers finding a divergence while RSI is at the extreme levels to improve the predictability of a possible reversal.
Additionally, the indicator includes a simple Mean Reversion visual on the chart to assist users in identifying extreme price levels and potential reversal opportunities. It features upper and lower bands that can be optionally plotted, showing calculated values where price bounces at those extreme levels.
The purpose of these bands is to help traders avoid getting trapped in the middle of a trend and to guide them to buy low and sell high. (It's important to note that this is purely a visual aid and does not impact the generation of trade signals.)
By utilizing the Mean Reversion bands alongside the entry conditions, traders can gain insights into potential price reversals and make more informed decisions about when to enter or exit trades.
Buy and Sell Entry conditions:
• The indicator looks at the CCI/Momentum indicator to turn positive (if buy) or negative (if sell) after the RSI was overbought or oversold in the recent past.
• It also checks if there is a 3-period regular bullish divergence in the RSI (if buy), or regular bearish divergence (if sell) and consider these in the entry condition.
• If these conditions are met, this indicator suggests that it may be a good time to enter a trade.
In summary this is how this indicator works:
• The indicator takes input settings such as the choice between using CCI or Momentum as the entry signal source, length parameters for CCI/Momentum, RSI levels for overbought and oversold conditions, RSI length, and options to plot mean reversion bands on the chart.
• It calculates the CCI and Momentum and RSI values based on user-defined length..
• It checks for regular bullish and bearish divergences (3 periods) in the RSI if the option is enabled.
• The script plots shapes on the chart to indicate the buy and sell signals based on the entry conditions.
• If the mean reversion bands option is enabled, it calculates the mean reversion, standard deviation, upper band, and lower band values.
• It also plots the upper band, mean reversion line, and lower band on the chart if the mean reversion bands option is enabled.
• This indicator includes alert conditions to generate alerts for the buy and sell signals.
• On top of that, users can opt to use only one alert for both buy and sell signals. (This can save Trading view subscribers with limited alerts.)
Important! Please do not consider everything you read here as financial advice. Additionally, do not rely solely on indicators for making your trading decisions. It is important to note that no indicator or strategy is perfect. Therefore, it is always recommended to backtest everything and practice proper risk management.
I appreciate your feedback on this indicator. As I am new to script development, I am open to comments and suggestions to improve it. If you encounter any issues while using this indicator, please let me know in the comments section. If you find it helpful, I kindly ask for your support in boosting it. Thank you for your cooperation.
[Rygel] Dual time frame Bollinger Bands with signals and alertsThis indicator displays two Bollinger Bands coming from two different time frames, chart's current one and a higher one.
It analyzes these two Bollinger Bands data and combines them with RSI, MFI and MACD divergences and SuperTrend to identify areas of opportunity where price is the most likely to be at a local top or bottom.
It uses probabilistic data, the Bollinger Bands, to identify convergence areas where the price is statistically overbought or oversold simultaneously at two different time frames, it then looks for signs of a trend exhaustion, using RSI, MFI and MACD divergences, and finally it looks for an early confirmation of a trend reversal, using SuperTrend data with aggressive settings.
This indicator does not produce buy and sell signals. You won't get a buy for every sell or a sell for every buy. In a bearish trend, you may get multiple consecutive bullish signals and in a bullish trend multiple bearish signals.
It is meant to help you to identify and to alert you about areas of opportunity where you could, for instance, consider taking some profits or opening a trade.
It is meant to support your investment or trading decisions, not to induce them.
SIGNALS
This indicator generated multiple types of signals. Diamonds are better than squares. Colored ones are better than grey ones.
Green square: a bullish signal confirmed by a regular divergence
Red square: a bearish signal confirmed by a regular divergence
Blue square: a bullish signal confirmed by a hidden divergence (disabled by default as these signals are less reliable)
Orange square: a bearish signal confirmed by a hidden divergence (disabled by default as these signals are less reliable)
Diamonds: same as the square signals but the signal is forming a divergence with a previous one. Diamond signals are always stronger (i.e. more reliable) than square signals.
Grey signals: same as the previous ones but for weaker signals. These signals appear when price in the current time frame is overbought or oversold but only close to be at the higher timeframe. (disabled by default as these signals are less reliable)
When a weak signal follows a strong one and creates a MACD divergence with it, it will be considered as a strong signal and displayed as a colored signal, even when weak signals are disabled.
When a strong signal follows a weak one, forming a MACD divergence, it will be shown as a diamond signal, even when weak signals are disabled.
Most reliable signals are green and red diamonds.
SETTINGS
Bollinger Bands
Source: the source used to calculate the Bollinger Bands ("close" by default)
Length: the moving-average length of the Bollinger Bands (20 by default)
You will most likely have no need to change these settings. If you're wondering what they actually do, you should most likely not touch them.
Main channel standard deviation: the standard deviation used to calculate the classical Bollinger Bands channel. (2.0 by default)
Outer bands standard deviation: additional channels outside the main one, using a larger standard deviation. (3.0 by default)
Theoretically, with a 1.0 standard deviation, around 68% of the price action should be contained within the Bollinger Bands.
With a 2.0 standard deviation, around 95%.
With a 3.0 standard deviation, around 99.7%.
With a 4.0 standard deviation, around 99.99%.
But as security prices returns have no actual statistical distribution, these probabilities don't strictly apply to Bollinger Bands. According to Wikipedia, studies have found that with a 2.0 standard deviation, only about 88% (85–90%) of the price data remain with the Bollinger Bands, instead of the theoretical 95%.
The higher you set the values, the less signals you'll get.
You should most likely keep the main channel standard deviation between 2 and 3 and add between +0.5 and +1 for the outer bands.
Most commonly used value for Bollinger Bands is 2.0.
Current time frame
Show current time frame Bollinger Bands: these are the Bollinger Bands you're used to. (enabled by default)
Show current time frame outer bands: add two additional bands outside the main channel using a larger standard deviation. (enabled by default)
Higher time frame
Show higher time frame Bollinger Bands: display secondary Bollinger Bands from a higher time frame. Time frames are configured in the below "Time frames" section. (enabled by default)
Show higher time frame outer bands: add two additional bands outside the main channel using a larger standard deviation (enabled by default)
Overbought and oversold
Show oversold and overbought background: add a background to the higher time Bollinger Bands whose color depends on the dual time frame Bollinger Bands oversold / overbought status. (enabled by default)
Asset is considered overbought/oversold when its price is outside of the Bollinger Bands' main channel.
Asset is considered strongly overbought/oversold when its price is outside of the Bollinger Bands' outer bands.
Dark red: both time frame are overbought (outside the main channel)
Red: one time frame is strongly overbought (outside the outer bands) and the other one is overbought (outside the main channel)
Bright red: both time frame are strongly overbought (outside the outer bands)
Dark green: both time frame are oversold (outside the main channel)
Green: one time frame is strongly oversold (outside the outer bands) and the other one is oversold (outside the main channel)
Bright green: both time frame are strongly oversold (outside the outer bands)
Signals
Show signals: display signals when an area of opportunity is detected. Read the introduction and the Signals section for more information. (enabled by default)
Show weak signals: display signals although at the higher time frame price is not yet overbought or oversold but close to be (disabled by default)
Divergences
Use MACD for divergences (enabled by default)
Use MFI for divergences (enabled by default)
Use RSI for divergences (enabled by default)
At least one source of divergences must be enabled for signals to work.
Enable hidden divergences: signals don't use hidden divergences by default as they generate more false positives than regular divergences. You can enable them to get more signals, it can be especially useful at high time frames (like weekly, monthly, etc.) where signals are rarer. (disabled by default)
Show divergences: draw MACD, MFI and RSI divergences on the chart. (disabled by default)
Green: regular bullish divergence
Red: regular bearish divergence
Blue: hidden bullish divergence
Orange: hidden bearish divergence
Confirmation
Confirmation speed: a faster confirmation speed will generate more false positive signals, a slower one will produce delayed but more reliable signals.
Fastest: don't wait for a SuperTrend confirmation, only wait for a divergence confirmation. Lot of false positives.
Fast: wait for a fast SuperTrend confirmation (SuperTrend factor = 1).
Medium: wait for a slower but more reliable SuperTrend confirmation (SuperTrend factor = 2). Fewer false positives but more lagging signals.
Slow: wait for an even slower but very reliable SuperTrend confirmation (SuperTrend factor = 3). Very few false positives but very late signals.
Time frames
You can define the higher time frames you wish to use here.
Default values try to adhere to a x6 to x8 ratio, x4 to x12 at maximum.

Time frames use the TradingView units:
s = seconds
h = hours
D = days
W = weeks
M = months
no unit = minutes
Time frame strings follow these rules:
They are composed of the multiplier and the time frame unit, e.g., “1S”, “30” (30 minutes), “1D” (one day), “3M” (three months).
The unit is represented by a single letter, with no letter used for minutes: “S” for seconds, “D” for days, “W” for weeks and “M” for months.
When no multiplier is used, 1 is assumed: “S” is equivalent to “1S”, “D” to “1D, etc. If only “1” is used, it is interpreted as “1min”, since no unit letter identifier is used for minutes.
There is no “hour” unit; “1H” is not valid. The correct format for one hour is “60” (remember no unit letter is specified for minutes).
The valid multipliers vary for each time frame unit:
- For seconds, only the discrete 1, 5, 10, 15 and 30 multipliers are valid.
- For minutes, 1 to 1440.
- For days, 1 to 365.
- For weeks, 1 to 52.
- For months, 1 to 12.

ABOUT THE HIGHER TIME FRAME BOLLINGER BANDS
Using a classical higher time frame Bollinger Bands would produce lagging data. For instance, if we are using a weekly BB at the daily time frame, we'll have to wait up to 7 days for the weekly bar to close to get the actual final weekly BB values. Instead, this indicator generates real time higher time frame Bollinger Bands by multiplying the moving average length of the Bollinger Bands by the higher time frame / current time frame ratio. For instance, a weekly BB in the daily time frame will use a x7 ratio (i.e. a 20 * 7 = 140 days MA BB).
It produces slightly different but very similar bands that are as meaningful and can be used in real time at lower time frames.
Alternatives would have been to wait up to seven days for signals to be finalized, which would have render them meaningless. Or to use previous week data, which would have made the signal inaccurrate.
To sum up, weekly Bollinger Bands use a 20 weeks moving average updated one time a week. In the daily time frame, this indicator also use a 20 weeks (140 days) moving average but updated daily instead of weekly.
A comparison between a traditional higher time frame Bollinger Bands vs the ones used by this indicator:
Blue and orange lines are the actual weekly BBs, grey ones are the daily updated ones.
ABOUT THE DIVERGENCES
This indicator uses the same divergences algorithm as my other indicators:

Allow you to customize the parameters related to the middle line of the channel.
The middle line is constructed using two moving averages, which can be selected from the various types available.
Here are the details of the Middleline Settings:
1. MA Type: This setting allows you to choose the type of moving average for the first average. You have the following options:
Weighted Moving Average (WMA), Hull Moving Average (HMA), Volume Weighted Moving Average (VWMA), Linear Moving Average (LMA),
Regular Moving Average (RMA), Simple Moving Average (SMA), Exponential Moving Average (EMA), EMA, Ehlers Gaussian,
Ehlers Smoother, Ehlers Supersmoother, Ehlers Butterworth, ChebyshevI, ChebyshevII
Length (1st MA): This parameter allows you to set the length or period of the first moving average. The length determines the number of bars considered in the calculation of the moving average.
2. MA Type: Similar to the first moving average, this setting lets you choose the type of moving average for the second average.
Length (2nd MA): This parameter sets the length or period of the second moving average. The length determines the number of bars considered in the calculation of the moving average.
3. Weighting:
This option allows you to adjust the weighting factor when merging from the first moving average to the second moving average.
By modifying the weighting, you can control the influence of the first average on the second average.
By selecting different moving average types, adjusting their lengths, and modifying the weighting factor, you can fine-tune the behavior of the middle line in the channel.
This flexibility allows you to customize the indicator to align with your preferred trading strategy and market conditions.
Best results are given when there is a maximum hitrate on retraces to the middleline, and many relevant directionchanges are near that line.
-------------------
3. Averaging Settings:
Offset of Curve in Bars: Shifts the indicator into the future by specifying the number of bars.
-------------------
4. Band Settings:
The Band Settings in the Multitimeframe Channel Builder indicator allow you to configure the parameters related to the construction of the bands around the middle line.
The bands provide an upper and lower boundary that help define the width of the channel. Here are the details of the Band Settings:
Band Mode:
This setting determines the method used to calculate the bands. You have the following options:
Off: Bands are turned off, and no calculations are performed.
True Range: Bands are calculated using the True Range.
Average True Range: Bands are calculated using the Average True Range.
Standard Deviation: Bands are calculated using the Standard Deviation.
Rate of Change: Bands are calculated using the Rate of Change.
Relative Strength Index: Bands are calculated using the Relative Strength Index.
Length (Bands):
This parameter sets the length or period used in the calculation of the bands. The length determines the number of bars considered when calculating the bands.
Band 1-3 Multiplicator:
These parameters allow you to adjust the scaling factor for each band. The multiplicative factor determines the width of the bands relative to the middle line.
Higher values result in wider bands, while lower values result in narrower bands.
Offset in % (Bands):
These parameters enable you to specify the offset percentage for each band. The offset represents the distance between the middle line and the bands.
A positive offset moves the bands further away from the middle line, while a negative offset brings the bands closer to the middle line.
By selecting the desired band mode, adjusting the length parameter, and modifying the multiplicators and offsets,
you can customize the width and positioning of the bands.
This flexibility allows you to adapt the indicator to different market conditions and trading strategies.
Note that if the Band Mode is set to "Off," the bands will not be displayed, regardless of the other band settings.
-------------------
5. Band Final Smooth:
The Band Final Smooth settings in the Multitimeframe Channel Builder indicator enable you to apply a smoothing technique to the constructed bands.
By selecting the desired smoothing type and adjusting the length parameter, you can customize the level of smoothing applied to the bands.
This helps to filter out short-term fluctuations and emphasize the underlying trend, providing a clearer visualization of the price channel.
Smooth Bands: This option allows you to enable or disable the smoothing of the bands. When enabled, the indicator applies the selected smoothing technique to the bands.
Smooth Type: You can choose the type of smoothing to apply to the bands. The available options include:
Weighted Moving Average (WMA), Hull Moving Average (HMA), Volume Weighted Moving Average (VWMA), Linear Moving Average (LMA),
Regular Moving Average (RMA), Simple Moving Average (SMA), Exponential Moving Average (EMA), EMA, Ehlers Gaussian,
Ehlers Smoother, Ehlers Supersmoother, Ehlers Butterworth, ChebyshevI, ChebyshevII
Length (Smooth Bands): This parameter sets the length or period of the smoothing technique applied to the bands.
A longer length will result in a smoother representation of the bands, while a shorter length will provide more responsiveness to price changes.
Final Smooth settings are optional, and you can choose to exclude smoothing if it does not align with your trading strategy or preferences.
-------------------
6. Alert Settings:
The Alert Settings in the Multitimeframe Channel Builder indicator allow you to configure the parameters related to the generation of alert notifications based on specific conditions.
Alerts can help you stay informed about potential trading opportunities. Here are the details of the Alert Settings:
Alert Mode: This setting determines the type of alert triggered by the indicator. You have the following options:
Band-outside: Generates an alert when the price moves outside the constructed channel bands.
Band-crossin: Generates an alert when the price crosses above or below the channel bands.
Band-crossout: Generates an alert when the price crosses back inside the channel bands.
Trend: Generates an alert when there is a significant trend change (over or under the middleline).
Oscillator: Generates an alert based on the behavior of the oscillator, if in Oscillator mode.
Spikedetection: This option allows you to enable or disable spike detection in the alerts. When enabled, the indicator considers spikes or sudden price movements when generating alerts.
By selecting the appropriate Alert Mode and configuring spike detection, you can receive alert notifications that align with your trading strategy and help you identify potential trading opportunities.
It's important to note that alert settings alone do not place trades automatically.
They serve as notifications for you to review and analyze the situation before making trading decisions.
Make sure to have a proper understanding of the selected alert mode and its implications in your trading strategy.
-------------------
7. Operation Mode:
The Multitimeframe Channel Builder indicator offers three operation modes: Channels, Oscillator, and Noplot.
This setting determines how the indicator is displayed on the chart and what type of information it provides.
Channels Mode:
When the indicator is set to channel mode, it will be displayed as an overlay on the chart. It generates channel lines based on the selected moving average types and their lengths.
These channels can help identify support and resistance levels or potential price breakout points. The channel lines are plotted on the chart,
providing a visual representation of the price movements within the channels.
Oscillator Mode: In Oscillator mode, the indicator is presented on a separate plane below or above the main chart, which you need to move manually.
It generates an oscillator based on the configured settings, including the selected moving averages and their lengths.
The oscillator provides insights into the market's momentum and overbought/oversold conditions.
It consists of horizontal lines representing different levels, such as upper and lower boundaries, and a middle line.
Traders can analyze the oscillator's movements and crossovers to identify potential trading signals.
Noplot Mode: Setting the indicator to Noplot mode disables all visual plotting on the chart. However, the indicator still generates alerts based on the configured settings.
This mode is useful if you only want to receive alert notifications for trading opportunities without cluttering the chart with additional visual elements.
Channels mode is ideal for analyzing price movements within defined channels,
Oscillator mode provides insights into market momentum, and
Noplot mode allows for focus on alert notifications without visual distractions on the chart.
-------------------
8. Oscillator Settings (Only applicable in Oscillator mode):
Hline from highest to lowest: Set the values for the highest to lowest horizontal lines.
POW-Compression: Adjust the compression factor for the oscillator.
Multiplier: Set the multiplier for the oscillator.
Oscillator Normalization Lockback: Specify the minimum time for normalization in the oscillator.
Detection Length and Filter Length: Set the lengths for the oscillator detection and filter.
Show Acceleration: Enable or disable the display of acceleration.
-------------------
9. Label Settings:
Decimals for Labels: Choose the number of decimals for label values.
Show Alerts (L1, L2, L3): Toggle the visibility of alerts for each level. Alert 1 is a minor alert, 3 a major
Label Color: Set the color for the labels.
Display Lines: Show or hide the lines on the chart.
Display Prices: Show or hide the price levels on the chart.
-------------------
10. Signal Config:
This Indicator offers a signal transmission configuration section specifically for Multibit implementation.
This feature allows you to transmit signals between multiple instances of the indicator, creating a daisychain effect. Here are the details of the Multibit implementation settings:
Signal Type: This setting determines the type of signal transmission used. You have the following options:
MultiBit: Enables the Multibit signal transmission.
MultiBit_pass: Enables the Multibit signal transmission with infusion.
NoInput: Disables the signal transmission.
Select Incoming Indicator: This parameter allows you to select the incoming indicator for signal transmission. You can choose any valid input source, such as the closing price or another indicator.
Channel configuration:
Channel long signal 1: Specify the channel used to transmit long signals for the first instance in the daisychain. Choose a value from -1 to 15 to represent different channels.
Channel short signal 1: Specify the channel used to transmit short signals for the first instance in the daisychain. Choose a value from -1 to 15 to represent different channels.
Channel long signal 2: Specify the channel used to transmit long signals for the second instance in the daisychain.
Channel short signal 2: Specify the channel used to transmit short signals for the second instance in the daisychain.
Channel long signal 3: Specify the channel used to transmit long signals for the third instance in the daisychain.
Channel short signal 3: Specify the channel used to transmit short signals for the third instance in the daisychain.
Channel Sideways only: Specify the channel used to transmit signals related to sideways movements.
Channel Trend: Specify the channel used to transmit signals related to trend movements.
Here's a overview of the current settings.

Breakout Band v1.0This indicator uses a custom source to define a point of relativity to which regions are based off to aid in technical analysis.
Breakout Band's use is:
- Monitoring trends
- Defining trends
- Defining areas of consolidation
- Trend support / resistance levels
- Aid in technical analysis
However, the band provides information different to that of an EMA, as they are not created from the same source, ref Fig 1.
---
Fig 1
Breakout Band compared to an EMA, both with a length setting of 20.
---
The primary band uses your charts timeframe to plot the band. This can be useful for more immediate information, ref Fig 2.
Fig 2
BTC on a 15m chart with Breakout Band's Chart Timeframe option.
---
There is also a functionality for a higher timeframe band to be plotted ( currently limited to 4 higher timeframes ) which can help to view higher timeframe moves with lower timeframe information, ref Fig 3. The higher timeframe band has an added smoothing effect.
Fig 3.
The same chart as referenced in Fig 2., while using Breakout Bands HTF option ( 60m band ).
---
USING BREAKOUT BAND
The band provides potential areas of consolidation, as seen in Fig 4., and when price action falls outside of the band, it can be considered trending.
Fig 4.
Defining areas of consolidation, trends, and monitor trends with Breakout Band.
---
Different zones are given different colors. The closer to the middle of the band, the higher chance of reactivity. Meaning, there is a greater chance that price will have a reaction within this zone. Whether that be trend continuation or a break of structure, showing signs of weakness of a trend, ref Fig 5.
Fig 5.
Breakout Bands reactivity region showing an area of potential resistance, which price action enters, then the trend continues.

NOTE : The same principles apply if you're using the HTF band for monitoring HTF trends.
I hope you enjoy the Breakout Band. Should you encounter any issues or have any suggestions for improving this indicator, let me know.
Any and all feedback is appreciated.
Filtered Momentum Indicator (FMI)The Filtered Momentum Indicator (FMI) is a tool created to assist traders in identifying changes in momentum and gaining insights into potential shifts in price trends. By combining the concepts of momentum and Bollinger Bands, the FMI offers a unique perspective on momentum values and their relationship to price movements, helping traders make informed trading decisions. The FMI is calculated using two main components:
-- Momentum Calculation : Momentum measures the strength and velocity of price changes. It is calculated by comparing the current price to the price 14 (default) periods ago and expressing it as a percentage.
-- Bollinger Bands Calculation : Bollinger Bands are based on the momentum values and provide a range within which the momentum is expected to fluctuate. The upper and lower bands are determined using a specified period (default of 20) and deviations (default of 2.0).
The FMI consists of two lines : F+ (Filtered Plus) and F- (Filtered Minus). These lines help gauge the strength of bullish and bearish momentum:
-- F+ represents the difference between the upper Bollinger Band and the momentum values. It indicates the strength of bullish momentum. F+ is colored aqua.
-- F- represents the difference between the momentum values and the lower Bollinger Band. It indicates the strength of bearish momentum. F- is colored yellow.
When analyzing the FMI, pay attention to the relationship between F+ and F-:
-- If F- is greater than F+ , it suggests potential bullish momentum, indicating that prices may have room to rise.
-- If F+ is greater than F- , it suggests potential bearish momentum, indicating that prices may have room to decline.
Coloration of the FMI enhances its interpretability - when F- is greater than F+, the indicator color is set to lime (green), signaling potential bullish momentum; when F+ is greater than F-, the indicator color is set to fuchsia (purple), signaling potential bearish momentum.
The FMI can be applied in various ways for trading strategies:
-- Identifying Potential Reversals : Watch for crossovers between the F- and F+ lines, as they may indicate a potential shift in momentum and offer opportunities to enter or exit trades.
-- Confirmation Tool : Combine the FMI with other technical indicators or price patterns to validate potential trend reversals or continuations. By aligning signals from different indicators, you can strengthen your trading decisions.
-- Trade Timing : Consider taking trades in the direction of the dominant FMI color. When the indicator shows strong bullish momentum (F- > F+), consider going long. Conversely, when it shows strong bearish momentum (F+ > F-), consider going short.
It is essential to be aware of the limitations of the FMI:
-- False Signals : The FMI, like any indicator, may generate false signals, especially during low volatility or choppy market conditions. Always use the FMI in conjunction with other analysis techniques for confirmation.
-- Lagging Nature : The FMI relies on historical price data, causing it to lag behind sudden market moves. Keep in mind that the FMI provides insights based on past momentum and may not capture immediate changes in market conditions.
By combining momentum and Bollinger Bands, this indicator provides a unique perspective for making informed trading decisions. Utilize the FMI in conjunction with other analysis techniques, considering its limitations, to enhance your trading strategy and improve decision-making.
Market Price Order Divergence + Trapped Positions [Pt]█ Introduction
Specifically designed for trading on NYSE, NASDAQ, Dow Jones, and AMEX related instruments like SPY, QQQ, ES, NQ...etc., this innovative tool provides traders with advanced market insights to help them comprehend the market intricacies and make well-informed decisions. Comprising three primary features: Price Order Divergence (POD) Bubbles, Market Order Bubbles, and Trapped Positions/Zones, this tool assists traders in deciphering the nuances of market order flow and trends.
An important point to note is that TradingView doesn't currently provide direct access to market order data, such as buy and sell order flow. Therefore, this tool cleverly leverages TICK index data to estimate the overall market buy and sell strength.
█ Price Order Divergence (POD)
POD serves to detect disparities between the prices of US indices and estimated market orders during regular trading hours (9:30 to 16:00 EST). Bullish divergence indicates that the estimated market order flow is biased towards buy orders, despite bearish price action. In contrast, bearish divergence indicates that the market order flow is biased towards sell orders while the price exhibits bullish action. By default, PODs are visually represented as green bubbles under the candle for bullish divergence and red ones above the candle for bearish divergence. The bubble's size symbolizes the estimated market order strength.
█ Market Order Bubbles (MOB)
During extended or Globex hours, instead of POD, the tool uses Market Order Bubbles (MOB) to estimate market orders using volume data. Sophisticated algorithm is used to distinguish between bullish vs bearish volume. A strong bullish volume represents significant buy orders, whereas a strong bearish volume represents substantial sell orders. By default, MOBs during these hours are shown in blue for bullish and yellow for bearish divergence. Again, the bubble's size symbolizes the estimated market order strength.
█ Trapped Positions/Zones
Trapped positions materialize when PODs or MOBs emerge in trending markets. For example, a bearish divergence during an uptrend suggests significant selling (including shorting), and if the price continues ascending without offering short positions any profit, these positions become 'trapped shorts' and is shown as 'TS' in the zone. The opposite is true for 'trapped longs' or 'TL'.
A price range zone can be delineated from the trapped position candles. If prices revisit these zones, and the prevailing market trend stays bullish, the trapped shorts will probably liquidate near the break-even point to mitigate losses. The same rationale applies to bullish divergence in a downtrend. Therefore, these zone often times represents support / resistance zones.
█ Potential Use Cases
► Trend Confirmation: POD or MOB can confirm the strength of an ongoing trend. For example, during a bullish trend, a plethora of green bubbles or blue MOBs can affirm the trend's solidity.
► Spotting Reversals: Large, isolated POD or MOB bubbles could indicate potential market reversals. For instance, a prominent red bubble or yellow MOB during an uptrend might hint at an impending trend reversal.
► Risk Management: The Trapped Positions/Zones feature could assist in risk management. When prices approach these zones, traders can anticipate potential large market orders impacting price movements.
► Profit Optimization: This tool can aid traders in optimizing profits by identifying when trapped positions are likely to liquidate, thus predicting potential sharp price movements.
Remember, as with any tool, this should be used alongside other market analyses and not as a standalone indicator. Happy trading!

Simple Grid Lines VisualizerAbout Grid Bots
A grid bot is a type of trading bot or algorithm that is designed to automatically execute trades within a predefined price range or grid. It is commonly used in markets that exhibit ranging or sideways movement, where prices tend to fluctuate within a specific range without a clear trend.
The grid bot strategy involves placing a series of buy and sell orders at regular intervals within the predefined price range or grid. The bot essentially creates a grid of orders, hence the name. When the price reaches one of these levels, the bot will execute the corresponding trade. For example, if the price reaches a predefined lower level, the bot will buy, and if it reaches a predefined upper level, it will sell.
The purpose of the grid bot strategy is to take advantage of the price oscillations within the range. As the price moves up and down, the bot aims to generate profits by buying at the lower end of the range and selling at the higher end. By repeatedly buying and selling at these predetermined levels, the bot attempts to capture gains from the price fluctuations.
About this Script
Simple Grid Lines Visualizer is designed to assist traders in visualizing and implementing automated price grids on their charts. With just a few inputs, this script generates gridlines based on your specified top price, bottom price, and the number of grids or profit per grid.
How it Works:
Specify Top and Bottom Prices: Start by setting the top and bottom prices that define the range within which the gridlines will be generated. These prices can be based on support and resistance levels, historical data, or any other factors you consider relevant to your analysis.
Determine Grid Parameters: Choose either the number of grids or profit per grid, depending on your preference and trading strategy. If you select the number of grids, the script will evenly distribute the gridlines within the specified price range. Alternatively, if you opt for profit per grid, the script will calculate the price increment required to achieve your desired profit level per grid.
Note that when choosing Profit per Grid , an approximation usually is performed, as all grid lines must be evenly distributed. To achieve that, the script computes the grid distance using the mean price between top and bottom, then computes how many of those complete distances may enter the entire range, and lastly, creates a grid with evenly distributed distances as close as possible to the previously computed.
Customize Styling and Display: Adjust the line color, line style, transparency, and other visual aspects to ensure clear visibility on your charts.
Analyze and Trade: Once the gridlines are plotted on your chart, carefully observe how the market interacts with them. The gridlines can act as reference points for potential support and resistance levels, as well as simple buy/sell orders for a trading bot.
Try to find gridlines that intersect prices as frequently as possible from one to another.
A grid with too many lines will make lots of potential trades, but the amount traded will be minimal (as the total amount invested is divided over the number of grids).
A grid with too few lines will make lots of profits with each trade, but the trades will be less likely to occur (depending on the top/bottom distance).
This tool aims to help visually which grid parameters seem to optimize this problem.
Future versions may include automatic profit computation.
Dynamic Trend RipperThe "Dynamic Trend Ripper" indicator is designed to identify dynamic support and resistance levels based on exponential moving averages (EMA) and the average true range (ATR). It aims to assist traders in identifying potential trading opportunities by visualizing dynamic support and resistance areas on the price chart. Think of it as more of overbought or oversold areas then true support and resistance,
The indicator calculates two sets of EMAs: two for the top cloud and two for the bottom cloud. The lengths of these EMAs are determined by user-defined input parameters. Additionally, the indicator uses the ATR to adjust the EMAs, enhancing their effectiveness as dynamic support and resistance levels.
The top cloud is formed by adding the ATR to the top fast EMA and subtracting the ATR from the top slow EMA. The bottom cloud is formed by subtracting the ATR from the bottom fast EMA and adding the ATR to the bottom slow EMA.
The indicator plots the dynamic OB (Overbought) level, which is the top fast EMA plus the ATR multiplied by the OBOS multiplier. It also plots the dynamic OS (Oversold) level, which is the top slow EMA minus the ATR multiplied by the OBOS multiplier. These levels are visualized using colored lines on the chart.
The top fast EMA, top slow EMA, bottom fast EMA, and bottom slow EMA are also plotted on the chart. The area between the top slow EMA and top fast EMA is filled with a color, forming the top cloud. The area between the bottom fast EMA and bottom slow EMA is filled with another color, forming the bottom cloud. The color of the clouds changes based on the relationship between the top fast EMA and top slow EMA. If the Regular Fast EMA is greater than the Regular slow EMA, indicating a bullish trend, the clouds are displayed in green. Otherwise, if the top fast EMA is less than the top slow EMA, indicating a bearish trend, the clouds are displayed in red.
The indicator can be used to identify potential support and resistance zones where the price may encounter obstacles or reverse its direction. Traders can look for price interactions with the dynamic support and resistance levels, as well as the OB and OS levels, to make trading decisions. For example, a trader might consider entering a short trade when the price approaches the top cloud, or a long trade when the price bounces off the bottom cloud.
By incorporating the ATR, which measures volatility, the indicator adjusts the EMAs to adapt to changing market conditions. Traders can watch for price reactions or reversals near these levels to gauge potential overextension or exhaustion in the price movement. I'm not going to claim this as my own idea, but I will say that I came up with this version myself. I haven't seen anyone else take this approach which is why I think it can be revolutionary to trading.
EXTREME OVERBOUGHT/SOLD BANDS
ATR-ADJUSTED EMA'S
MACDh with divergences & impulse system (overlayed on prices)-----------------------------------------------------------------
General Description:
This indicator ( the one on the top panel above ) consists on some lines, arrows and labels drawn over the price bars/candles indicating the detection of regular divergences between price and the classic MACD histogram (shown on the low panel). This script is special because it can be adjusted to fit several criteria when trading divergences filtering them according to the "height" and "width" of the patterns. The script also includes the "extra features" Impulse System and Keltner Channels, which you will hardly find anywhere else in similar classic MACD histogram divergence indicators.
The indicator helps to find trend reversals, and it works on any market, any instrument, any timeframe, and any market condition (except against really strong trends that do not show any other sign of reversion yet).
Please take on consideration that divergences should be taken with caution.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Definition of classic Bullish and Bearish divergences:
* Bearish divergences occur in uptrends identifying market tops. A classical or regular bearish divergence occurs when prices reach a new high and then pull back, with an oscillator (MACD histogram in this case) dropping below its zero line. Prices stabilize and rally to a higher high, but the oscillator reaches a lower peak than it did on a previous rally.
In the chart above (weekly charts of NKE, Nike, Inc.), in area X (around August 2021), NKE rallied to a new bull market high and MACD-Histogram rallied with it, rising above its previous peak and showing that bulls were extremely strong. In area Y, MACD-H fell below its centerline and at the same time prices punched below the zone between the two moving averages. In area Z, NKE rallied to a new bull market high, but the rally of MACD-H was feeble, reflecting the bulls’ weakness. Its downtick from peak Z completed a bearish divergence, giving a strong sell signal and auguring a nasty bear market.
* Bullish divergences , in the other hand, occur towards the ends of downtrends identifying market bottoms. A classical (also called regular) bullish divergence occurs when prices and an oscillator (MACD histogram in this case) both fall to a new low, rally, with the oscillator rising above its zero line, then both fall again. This time, prices drop to a lower low, but the oscillator traces a higher bottom than during its previous decline.
In the example in the chart above (weekly charts of NKE, Nike, Inc.), you see a bearish divergence that signaled the October 2022 bear market bottom, giving a strong buy signal right near the lows. In area A, NKE (weekly charts) appeared in a free fall. The record low A of MACD-H indicated that bears were extremely strong. In area B, MACD-H rallied above its centerline. Notice the brief rally of prices at that moment. In area C, NKE slid to a new bear market low, but MACD-H traced a much more shallow low. Its uptick completed a bullish divergence, giving a strong buy signal.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Some cool features included in this indicator:
1. This indicator also includes the “ Impulse System ”. The Impulse System is based on two indicators, a 13-day exponential moving average and the MACD-Histogram, and identifies inflection points where a trend speeds up or slows down. The moving average identifies the trend, while the MACD-Histogram measures momentum. This unique indicator combination is color coded into the price bars for easy reference.
Calculation:
Green Price Bar: (13-period EMA > previous 13-period EMA) and
(MACD-Histogram > previous period's MACD-Histogram)
Red Price Bar: (13-period EMA < previous 13-period EMA) and
(MACD-Histogram < previous period's MACD-Histogram)
Price bars are colored blue when conditions for a Red Price Bar or Green Price Bar are not met. The MACD-Histogram is based on MACD(12,26,9).
The Impulse System works more like a censorship system. Green price bars show that the bulls are in control of both trend and momentum as both the 13-day EMA and MACD-Histogram are rising (you don't have permission to sell). A red price bar indicates that the bears have taken control because the 13-day EMA and MACD Histogram are falling (you don't have permission to buy). A blue price bar indicates mixed technical signals, with neither buying nor selling pressure predominating (either both buying or selling are permitted).
2. Another "extra feature" included here is the " Keltner Channels ". Keltner Channels are volatility-based envelopes set above and below an exponential moving average.
3. It were also included a couple of EMAs.
Everything can be removed from the chart any time.

In this script, both falling and ascending channels can be drawn on the hills. At the same time, both falling and rising channels can be drawn at the bottom levels.
When controlled simultaneously with momentum indicators, it helps us a lot in the mismatch detection phase.
Use
In the settings of this tool, you can enter sensitivity data about the detection of pivot points.
At the same time, you can write how many you want to appear for each kind of channel and how many channels you want to appear in the last few bars.
Highlights
You can enter the number of violations of the channel. In this way, even if the channel is broken 3 times, for example, it does not disappear. This number is up to you.
At the same time, you can continue to see the channel with the option of how many more bars this channel will appear after the channel violation rules are fulfilled. In this way, you can catch logical return points.
Visuality
You can adjust the color of each channel and the color of the line in the middle.
Fibonacci Trend Zone The "Fibonacci Trend Zone" indicator is a supplementary tool that helps identify the current trend based on Fibonacci zones. It utilizes Fibonacci levels (0.62, 0.705, and 0.79) to define long-term trend zones. The green zone indicates potential long trades, while the red zone suggests potential short trades. The indicator also includes the Triple Exponential Moving Average (TEMA), which helps confirm trend reversals. When the TEMA crosses the Fibonacci level of 0.5, it may signal a possible trend reversal. Use this indicator in conjunction with your primary trading strategy to make more informed trading decisions. Additionally, the indicator provides flexibility in customizing the styles, allowing you to change the color scheme or disable the display of certain elements to suit your preferences and requirements.

Anchored VWAP (Auto High & Low)OVERVIEW
This script plots, and auto-updates, 3 separate VWAPs: a traditional VWAP, a VWAP anchored to a trends high, and another anchored to a trends low.
VWAP and Anchored VWAPs are commonly used by institutions responsible for the majority of market volume on a given day. Citadel Trading, for example, accounts for approximately 35% of all U.S. listed retail volume , largely executed through program trades over the course of a day, week, or month.
Because VWAP is a prominent market maker tool for executing large trades, day traders can use it to better anticipate trends, mean reversion, and breakouts.
This is most useful on charts with intraday time frames (1 minute, 5 minute etc.) commonly used for day trading. This is not ideal for larger time frames (1 hour or greater) commonly used for swing trading or identifying larger trends.
INPUTS
You can configure:
The size, color, and visibility of 6 different plots (VWAP, High Anchor, Low Anchor, Average of Anchors, Quarter Values, Interim Bands)
How smooth the average displays
INSPIRATION

VOLD Ratio (Volume Difference Ratio) by TenozenAnother helpful indicator is here! VOLD Ratio is calculated by the net volume of a buying candle, divided by the net volume of a sell candle.
Formula:
buying net volume/selling net volume
It's a simple indicator, but don't underestimate this simplicity. It's a powerful indicator that would help you to decide whether the volume is getting interested in the direction that the market would take. So assume when the market is above the Bollinger Bands, it means that the volume is at a buying extreme, by that, we could expect the market to get back towards the mean, as there is a lot of buying demand that entered the market. How about below the Bollinger Bands? it means that the volume is at a selling extreme, we could expect that there is a lot of volume getting in toward the sellers, so we could take advantage of the opportunity to go for a long. Lastly, the Bollinger Bands would help you guys to determine the liquidity of the market, if the Bollinger Bands get smaller over time, it means there is no interest for the market to enter yet, and if the Bollinger Bands get bigger over time, it means there is interest for the market to enter in the session.
Tips & Reminder:
- We shouldn't use this indicator by itself, make sure to use an Indicator that would help you guys to determine the momentum and the liquidity of the market.
- The higher the timeframe, the slower this indicator would signal an entry, by that use a smaller timeframe... I suggest using a 15M chart for the execution.
- Always trade in the medium-longterm direction if you want to have a high probability trade.
- Be patient in your execution, it's more likely the market would go higher or lower after going in the extreme of the Bollinger Bands.
Well, that's it! Hope you guys enjoy using this indicator, let me know if there is any question or suggestion. Ciao...
Smoother Momentum Stops [Loxx]Smoother Momentum Stops (SMS) is a dynamic tool that combines the logic of momentum and moving averages to create an overlay of the market price and generate potential trade signals. The original idea for this indicator comes from the beloved and esteemed trading indicator guru Mladen Rakic.
Understanding the Framework
The SMS incorporates various aspects of technical analysis, including momentum calculation, several types of moving averages, and an intelligent stop-and-reverse system that determines when to enter and exit trades.
The indicator initiates by defining the color scheme for visualization, specifically green for bullish trends and red for bearish trends. It further utilizes the 'smmom' and 'fema' functions to calculate smoothed momentum and fast exponential moving averages, respectively. The values computed by these functions are central to the signal generation process.
Momentum Calculation
The 'smmom' function serves to calculate a smoother momentum by taking a source (such as the closing price) and a period as inputs. This function employs a complex algorithm involving exponential moving averages (EMA), wherein two EMAs are calculated with different smoothing factors, and the difference between the two results is returned as the output. This smooth momentum calculation assists in eliminating unnecessary noise from the market and delivers more reliable momentum readings.
Moving Averages Computation
One key feature of the SMS is the ability to select from five different moving average types: Exponential Moving Average (EMA), Fast Exponential Moving Average (FEMA), Linear Weighted Moving Average (LWMA), Simple Moving Average (SMA), and Smoothed Moving Average (SMMA). The 'variant' function assigns the chosen method to the '_avg' variable, which is then used in the trade signal logic.
Trade Signal Generation
SMS employs a complex yet robust mechanism for generating trade signals. A stop-and-reverse system is established, which works on the principle of momentum. If the smoothed momentum is positive, an upper stop is determined and if the momentum is negative, a lower stop is defined.
The process continues by defining long and short entry conditions. The indicator goes long when an upper stop exists, and the previous bar had a lower stop, signifying a shift in momentum. The short entry condition is the opposite: the indicator goes short when a lower stop exists, and the previous bar had an upper stop. Alerts are generated for each of these conditions, helping traders to take timely action.
Visual Representation and UI Options
In terms of visual representation, the indicator plots upper and lower stops, employing green color for upper and red for lower stops. If the option to color bars is chosen, the entire bar is colored green or red, based on whether an upper or lower stop exists. This feature allows traders to visually comprehend market conditions better. Support and reisstance levels are also provided for visual context.
Conclusion
The Smoother Momentum Stops indicator is a potent tool for traders seeking to optimize their trading strategies. It blends the fundamentals of momentum and moving averages, resulting in a robust system that provides clear, reliable, and timely trading signals. By adjusting the smoothing type and period parameters, traders can customize the indicator to fit various market conditions and asset types, thereby adding a layer of flexibility to their trading strategies.
The use of a stop-and-reverse system adds a layer of risk management by offering precise entry and exit points based on momentum shifts. These stops are not just mere levels of entries or exits, but they reflect the undercurrent of the market's momentum, thus providing a dynamic framework to make informed trading decisions.
Additionally, the SMS indicator offers visual simplicity. The color-coded bars and distinct symbols for long and short positions make it easier for traders to interpret the signals and market direction quickly. Combined with the alert system, it ensures that traders never miss an important trading opportunity.
Finally, the power of the SMS indicator lies in its adaptability and comprehensive approach. By providing a selection of moving averages and an intelligent momentum-based system, it encapsulates various aspects of market behavior. As such, it is a useful tool not just for momentum traders, but for any trader who understands the significance of moving averages and momentum in predicting market movements.
In conclusion, the Smoother Momentum Stops indicator stands as an innovative, adaptable, and powerful tool for the modern trader. Its blend of flexibility, dynamic risk management, and straightforward visualization offer a comprehensive solution for traders looking to navigate the complex world of financial markets. With a detailed understanding of its workings as presented in this essay, traders can harness its full potential to optimize their strategies, manage risk, and achieve their trading objectives.
