Chapter 1: Understanding Market Structure
1.1 Market Structure Defined:
- Market structure forms the bedrock upon which successful trading strategies are constructed. It encompasses the highs, lows, and significant price levels that shape a market's behavior. Structure Mapping v3.0 provides a clear visualization of market structure, enabling traders to identify crucial support and resistance levels.
1.2 The Power of Structural Analysis:
- Structural analysis is a pivotal component of this indicator. By recognizing the fundamental elements of market structure, traders can make informed decisions regarding trend direction, potential reversals, and optimal entry and exit points.
1.3 Rules for Structure Mapping:
Let's explore some key definitions:
- Inside bars: These are candles that exist within the range of a preceding candle.
- Pullbacks: In an uptrend, a valid pullback occurs when the low of a previous candle's range (excluding inside bars) is breached, and the price continues to rise.
- Inducements (IDM): An inducement is a price level. In an uptrend, it is defined as the low of the latest pullback before the highest high. It is considered a liquidity area, often revisited by the market to access liquidity before continuing its upward movement.
- Break of Structure (BoS): In an uptrend, after surpassing an IDM , the highest high becomes a Confirmed structure high, or a Major High . If the price then closes above this Major High, a Bullish Break of Structure (Bullish BoS) is confirmed. Similarly, the lowest point between these movements becomes a Confirmed structure low or Major Low in a downtrend.
Change of Character (ChoCh):
In an uptrend, if the price falls below a Major Low, it indicates a shift in market bias from Bullish to Bearish, or a Bearish Change of Character.
Example of a bullish ChoCh:
Chapter 2: Demand & Supply Zones
2.1 Introduction to Demand & Supply Zones:
- Demand and Supply zones are critical areas on a price chart where significant buying or selling pressure is expected. This indicator highlights these zones, enabling traders to anticipate potential price reactions.
2.2 Identifying Demand and Supply Zones:
A Demand or Supply zone is the first candle of a pullback that leaves a Fair value gap.

[AlbaTherium] Structure Mapping & Order Blocks Advanced - Beta An Insight into Structure Mapping and Order Block Identification with Smart Money Concepts
Introduction:
Structure Mapping & Order Blocks Advanced - Beta serves as a fundamental pillar in the realm of Smart Money Concepts . This indicator adeptly charts the market structure based on a refined version of SMC while identifying Order Blocks. All the concepts embedded in this method are meticulously defined, offering users the ability to chart the market structure with heightened confidence. With this indicator, there is no need for excessive questioning of the accuracy of your markings; it diligently strives to perform this task effectively. There are no hidden 'magic' properties underlying this indicator, ensuring that our users can independently verify each and every feature. It is this commitment to transparency that sets us apart and makes us unique in the market.
In this discussion, we delve into the intricacies of Break of Structure , Change of Character , and SMART MONEY TRAP . We also introduce the concepts of Extreme Order Blocks , Decisional Order Blocks , and Smart Money Trap Order Blocks .
Chapter 1: Understanding Structure Mapping:
Let's begin with some definitions:
- Inside bars are candles that lie within the range of a preceding candle.
- Pullbacks occur in an uptrend when the low of a preceding candle's range (excluding inside bars) is breached, and the price continues to rise.
- Inducements (IDM) are price levels defined as the low of the latest pullback before the most recent high. They often act as liquidity points that the market revisits before continuing its move.
- Break of Structure (BoS):
In an uptrend, after surpassing an IDM , the most recent high becomes a Confirmed structure high, or a Major High . If the price then closes above this Major High , a Bullish Break of Structure (Bullish BoS) is confirmed. Similarly, the lowest point between these movements becomes a Confirmed structure low or Major Low in a downtrend.
- Change of Character (ChoCh):
In an uptrend, if the price falls below a Major Low , it indicates a shift in market bias from Bullish to Bearish, or a Bearish Change of Character .
Example of a bullish ChoCh :
Chapter 2: The Significance of Order Blocks:
Order Blocks (OB) play a pivotal role in Smart Money Concepts during entry points. Understanding what they represent and how to identify them is essential. For a Bullish/Bearish Order Block to be confirmed, specific conditions, including price imbalance and breaching the previous candle's high or low, must be met. We will delve into the finer details of identifying and trading Order Blocks, with an emphasis on the fact that price often reacts from Decisional Order Blocks, Extreme Order Blocks , and Smart Money Trap Order Blocks .
- An OB is the initial candle range of a pullback that creates a Fair value gap .
These are zones where proactive traders enter the market, resulting in significant price changes indicated by Fair value gaps . It is believed that when the price revisits these zones in the future, it tends to bounce back. This property makes Order Blocks excellent potential entry points.
Order Blocks are categorized as follows:
- Extreme OB : The first and lowest OB between the Major Low and Major High.
- Decisional OB : The most recent OB lower than the current IDM.
- Smart Money Traps : All OBs between Extreme and Decisional OB.
- Demand above IDM / Supply below IDM
Chapter 3: Understanding SMART MONEY TRAP (SMT):
SMART MONEY TRAP is a concept that brings clarity to the distinction between Structure and Order Blocks within Smart Money Concepts and is a unique feature of this indicator. While many Smart Money Traders base their trades on Structure and Order Blocks, it's crucial to recognize that Order Blocks serve as an additional confirmation for buy or sell decisions. Blindly trading based on Order Blocks is not advisable. Instead, traders should exercise patience and await other confirmations like inducement or Liquidity sweep before executing trades on Order Blocks. We will illustrate how this concept works in practice.
In the example above, the market largely disregards all the SMT s and responds favorably to the Extreme OB . This presents a promising trading opportunity, with a stop loss placed below the OB and a take profit set at the fill of the Fair value gap.
Conclusion:
Structure Mapping & Order Blocks Advanced - Beta embodies the essence of Smart Money Concepts , serving as a powerful tool for traders. This indicator effectively combines the elements of structure mapping and Order Blocks to guide trading decisions. By comprehending the dynamics of Impulsive Moves and Corrections, distinguishing between Bearish and Bullish Order Flow, and mastering the identification and trading of Order Blocks while considering SMART MONEY TRAP, traders can gain a competitive edge in the dynamic landscape of financial markets.
This document serves as a comprehensive guide to Structure Mapping & Order Blocks Advanced - Beta, highlighting its significance within the Smart Money Concepts framework. It is essential to apply these concepts judiciously to enhance trading.

01 Position CalculatorI present to your attention a calculator for calculating the volume per position.
This calculator is tested on cryptocurrency trading and MOEX liquid shares!
This calculator is suitable for beginners to make it easier to study trading and not get confused at the very beginning with volume calculations, I also use it for virtual trading, a position is drawn on the chart in real time, which shows the amount of loss or profit, that is, with the help of it I I practice different strategies without losing real money on experiments.
All calculations are made at your risk.
You need to indicate what your working deposit is, what percentage of it you are willing to risk per day, the number of your losing trades for one trading session, after which you will stop trading for that day, the amount of risk will be divided by the number of unprofitable trades.
The principle of operation is as simple as possible, you need to indicate three lines on the chart 1 - time line: it is needed so that a position on the chart can be drawn from it. 2 – Entry line for entering a position: the price at which you want to buy an asset. 3 – stop loss line “SL”: the price upon reaching which your losing trade will be closed. If the 3-stop loss line is placed below the 2-Entry line, then a long position will be calculated, if the stop loss line is above the Entry line, then a short position will be calculated. take profit "TP" is calculated automatically according to your settings in the menu.
And so on in order through the menu from top to bottom.
1. Rounding the volume to a whole number: if you select “round”, then the volume of the acquired asset (shares, coins, etc.) will be rounded to a whole number, but be careful if your deposit is $100, and the cost of 1 unit of the asset is more than $1000, then the calculator will give error. MOEX shares are traded only in whole lots, so rounding occurs automatically.
2. Automatic calculation of SL in 1 ATR of the selected TF (auto/manual) (ATR...): if you select auto and specify, for example, ATR 1h, then your “SL” will be calculated automatically and set at a distance from Entry of 1 ATR of the hourly time frame (this is the average price change over 1 hour)
3. Cryptocurrency deposit commission, MOEX deposit commission: I made two different deposits on purpose so as not to change the settings each time, depending on the schedule you choose, MOEX or cryptocurrency, the required deposit and commission will be automatically taken into account.
4. Slippage: this is the percentage of slippage on closing a position at a stop loss.
5. Daily drawdown % (...): this is the percentage of your trading deposit that you are willing to risk for one trading session, the amount at risk.
6. Ratio rice /profit 1/ (...): you need to indicate the SL/TP ratio, based on this your income per trade is calculated and the distance to TP is outlined on the graph.
7. Number of losing trades (...): this is the number of your trades per trading session after receiving which you will end trading for that day, the amount of risk will be divided by the number of losing trades.
8. Position: you can enter the start date of the position and Entry and SL prices
9. ATR – specify the number of last candles to calculate the average price movement of the selected time frame
Now, as for the tables located by default on the left and right at the bottom of the screen, I made windows with descriptions; when you hover the cursor over a cell, a description pops up.

Этот калькулятор проверен, на торговле криптовалюты и ликвидных акциях MOEX!
Этот калькулятор подойдет начинающим, чтоб облегчить изучение торговли и не запутаться в самом начале с расчётами объемов, так же я использую его для виртуальной торговли, на графике в реальном времени рисуется позиция, на которой видно суму убытка или прибыли, то есть с помощью него я отрабатываю разные стратегии, не теряя реальные деньги на эксперименты.
Все расчеты делаются от вашего риска.
Вам необходимо указать какой ваш рабочий депозит, каким процентом от него вы готовы рискнуть на день, количество ваших убыточных сделок на одну торговую сессию, после которых вы прекратите торговлю на этот день, сумма риска будет поделена на количество убыточных сделок.
Принцип работы максимально прост, вам нужно указать на графике три линии 1 - линия время: она нужна чтоб от нее рисовался позиция на графике. 2 –линия Entry входа в позицию: цена по которой вы хотите купить актив. 3 – линия stop loss «SL»: цена при достижении которой закроется ваша убыточная сделка. Если линию 3-stop loss разместить под линией 2-Entry то будет рассчитываться длинная позиция, ели лини stop loss будет над линией Entry то будет рассчитываться короткая позиция. take profit «TP» рассчитывается автоматически согласно вашим настройкам в меню.
И так по порядку по меню с верху в низ.
1. Округление объема до целого: если выбрать «round -округлить», то объем приобретаемого актива (акции, монеты и другого) будет округлен до целого числа, но будьте внимательны если ваш депозит 100$, а стоимость 1 единицы актива более 1000$ то калькулятор выдаст ошибку. Акции MOEX торгуются только целыми лотами потому округление происходит автоматически.
2. Авто расчёт SL в 1 ATR выбранного TF (auto/manual) (ATR…): если выбрать auto и указать, к примеру ATR 1h, то ваш «SL», будет рассчитан автоматически и выставлен на расстоянии от Entry в 1 ATR часового time frame (это усредненное изменение цены за 1 час)
3. Депозит крипто валюты комиссия, депозит MOEX комиссия: сделал специально два разных депозита чтоб каждый раз не менять настройки, в зависимости от выбранного вами графика, MOEX или криптовалюта, будет автоматически браться в расчет нужный депозит и комиссия.
4. Проскальзывание: это процент на проскальзывание закрытия позиции по stop loss.
5. Просадка на день % (…): это процент от вашего торгового депозита, которым вы готовы рискнуть на одну торговую сессию, сумма риска надень.
6. Соотношение рис /прибыль 1/ (…): вам нужно указать соотношение SL/TP на основе этого рассчитывается ваш доход на сделку и на графике обрисовывается расстояние до TP.
7. Количество убыточных сделок (…): это количество ваших сделок на торговую сессию после получения, которых вы закончите торговлю на этот день, сумма риска надень будет поделена на количество убыточных сделок.
8. Позиция: можно вписать дату начала позиции и цены Entry и SL
9. ATR – укажите количество последних свечей для расчета среднего движения цены выбранного time frame
Теперь что касается таблиц расположенных по умолчанию с лева и справа в низу экрана, я сделал окна с описаниями, при наведении курсора на ячейку всплывает описание.
LBR-Volatility Breakout BarsThe originator of this script is Linda Raschke of LBR Group.
This Pine Script code is the version 5 of LBR Paintbars for TradingView, called "LBR-Bars." It was originally coded for TradingView in version 3 by LazyBear. It is a complex indicator that combines various features such as coloring bars based on different conditions, displaying Keltner channels, and showing volatility lines.
Let me break down the key components and explain how it works:
1. Inputs Section: This section defines various input parameters that users can adjust when adding the indicator to their charts. These parameters allow users to customize the behavior and appearance of the indicator. Here are some of the key input parameters:
- Users can control whether to color bars under different conditions. For example,
they can choose to color LBR bars, color bars above/below Kelts, or color non-LBR
bars.
- Users can choose whether to show volatility lines or shade Keltner channels' area
with the Mid being the moving average on the chart.
- In the calculation of Keltner channels, users can set the length of the moving
average that the Keltner channels use as the mid and then set the Keltner multiplier.
If users want to use "True Range" to determine calculations, they can turn it on or
off; it defaults to off.
- Users can change the calculation of volatility lines and set the length for finding the
lowest and highest prices. The user sets the ATR length and multiplier for the ATR.
2. Calculation Section: This section defines the calculation of the upper and lower standard deviation bands based on the input parameters. It uses Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) and optionally True Range to calculate these bands if turned on. These bands are used in the Keltner channel calculation.
3. Keltner Channel Section: This section calculates the upper, middle, and lower lines of the Keltner channels. It also plots these lines on the chart. The colors and visibility of these lines are controlled by user inputs.
4. Volatility Lines Section: This section calculates the upper and lower volatility lines based on the lowest and highest prices over a specified period and the ATR. It also checks whether the current close price is above or below these lines accordingly. The colors and visibility of these lines are controlled by user inputs.
5. Bar Colors Section: This section determines the color of the bars on the chart based on various conditions. It checks whether the current bar meets conditions like being an LBR bar, being above or below volatility lines, or being in "No Man's Land." The color of the bars is set accordingly based on user inputs.
This Pine Script creates an indicator that provides visual cues on the chart based on Keltner channels, volatility lines, and other customizable conditions. Users can adjust the input parameters to tailor the indicator's behavior and appearance to their trading preferences.
Interactive MA Stop Loss [TANHEF]This indicator is "Interactive." Once added to the chart, you need to click the start point for the moving average stoploss. Dragging it afterward will modify its position.
Why choose this indicator over a traditional Moving Average?
To accurately determine that a wick has crossed a moving average, you must examine the moving average's range on that bar (blue area on this indicator) and ensure the wick fully traverses this area.
When the price moves away from a moving average, the average also shifts towards the price. This can make it look like the wick crossed the average, even if it didn't.
How is the moving average area calculated?
For each bar, the moving average calculation is standard, but when the current bar is involved, its high or low is used instead of the close. For precise results, simply setting the source in a typical moving average calculation to 'Low' or 'High' is not sufficient in calculating the moving average area on a current bar.
Moving Average Options:
Simple Moving Average
Exponential Moving Average
Relative Moving Average
Weighted Moving Average
Indicator Explanation
After adding indicator to chart, you must click on a location to begin an entry.
The moving average type can be set and length modified to adjust the stoploss. An optional profit target may be added.
A symbol is display when the stoploss and profit target are hit. If a position is create that is not valid, "Overlapping MA and Bar" is displayed.
Alerts
'Check' alerts to use within indicator settings (stop hit and/or profit target hit).
Select 'Create Alert'
Set the condition to 'Interactive MA''
Select create.
Alert messages can have additional details using these words in between two Curly (Brace) Brackets:
{{stop}} = MA stop-loss (price)
{{upper}} = Upper MA band (price)
{{lower}} = Lower MA band (price)
{{band}} = Lower or Upper stoploss (word)
{{type}} = Long or Short stop-loss (word)
{{stopdistance}} = Stoploss Distance (%)
{{targetdistance}} = Target Distance (%)
{{starttime}} = Start time of stoploss (day:hour:minute)
{{maLength}} = MA Length (input)
{{maType}} = MA Type (input)
{{target}} = Price target (price)
{{trigger}} = Wick or Close Trigger input (input)
{{ticker}} = Ticker of chart (word)
{{exchange}} = Exchange of chart (word)
{{description}} = Description of ticker (words)
{{close}} = Bar close (price)
{{open}} = Bar open (price)
{{high}} = Bar high (price)
{{low}} = Bar low (price)
{{hl2}} = Bar HL2 (price)
{{volume}} = Bar volume (value)
{{time}} = Current time (day:hour:minute)
{{interval}} = Chart timeframe
{{newline}} = New line for text
I will add further moving averages types in the future. If you suggestions post them below.
Clone Pivots. Oct_2023Conceptually very simple.
The all time high or low of the chart (this indicator can be used with non-price sources as well), is used to divide the price pane continuously by 2.
For example the first pivot is (All Time High + All Time Low)/2.
From this point the price chart is further divided by 2.
The user can set the depth of division, and the lines for depth are only shown around the price.
About clone pivots.
- they can be used for ladder trading
- they are based on the range of the stock or instrument price
An alternative is available to use Fib divisions rather than simple divide by 2 method.
Labels may be placed with price or without. And depth of labelling is also an option.
Clone pivots at 50% tend to work very well with price structures - give it a try and see if it helps your trading!

Double RSI 00 1.0This script creates a custom indicator, visualizes two RSI values (RSI1 and RSI2) on the chart and generates alerts based on different RSI-related conditions, which can be used for technical analysis and trading strategies. Users can customize the RSI parameters and alert levels according to their preferences.
It includes several input parameters that allow the user to customize the RSI calculations and overbought/oversold levels. These parameters include:
length_1: RSI1 Length (default: 7)
length_2: RSI2 Length (default: 12)
overbought_1: Overbought Signal level for RSI1 (default: 75)
oversold_1: Oversold Signal level for RSI1 (default: 25)
overbought_2: High Overbought Signal level for RSI1 (default: 85)
oversold_2: High Oversold Signal level for RSI1 (default: 15)
The script calculates two RSI values: rsi_1 and rsi_2, based on the high and low prices averaged (hl2) and the specified RSI lengths.
It plots these RSI values on the chart using different colors and line widths.
Several horizontal lines are drawn on the chart to represent key levels:
h0: 0 (Lower Band)
h1: 50 (Middle Band)
h2: 100 (Upper Band)
h3: The Oversold level (customizable)
h4: The Overbought level (customizable)
h5: The High Oversold level (customizable)
h6: The High Overbought level (customizable)
The script defines alert conditions for various signals, including overbought, oversold, high overbought, high oversold, long (crossover between RSI1 and RSI2), and short (crossunder between RSI1 and RSI2).
It sends alerts when these conditions are met, indicating potential trading signals.
Please note that this script is meant for educational purposes and should be used cautiously in a real trading environment. It's important to have a thorough understanding of technical analysis and risk management when using such indicators in actual trading.

blackOrb PhaseMA matrix for identification of bullish/bearish macro phases and strategy implementation through the definition of effective MA lengths.
Moving Averages, when conventionally employed in either single-line or dual-line configurations, come with inherent limitations that hinder their effectiveness in capturing the complexities of varying market conditions.
In response to this challenge, blackOrb Phase utilizes a combination of quantitative and relational MA analysis techniques, providing users with a more comprehensive understanding of market trends and a granular derivation of price-dynamic phases by using the following features:
I. MA matrix to identify effective MA lengths for strategy implementation
II. Stochastic coloring for trend tracking and macro phase identification
III. Diverse MA options for enhanced analytical flexibility
Technical Methodology
I. MA Matrix to Identify Effective MA Lengths for Strategy Implementation
Central to the methodology is the ability to identify optimal MA lengths for effective strategy implementation. blackOrb Phase utilizes a matrix of multiple MAs, each characterized by unique parameters, to establish a relational grid structure. By systematically examining price data within predefined vertical segments, this matrix offers a linear multi-level modulation of historical price data, providing access to up to 500 prior data instances. This methodology enhances the analysis of both micro price dynamics shifts and bullish or bearish macro trend changes. It has been empirically validated that this approach can assist users to refine their analysis and adapt to varying market conditions*.
Crossings of MA lines with different colors signify potential shifts in price dynamic phases. When green MA lines intersect red MA lines, it suggests a higher likelihood of a macro trend change (bullish or bearish market environment). Conversely, when green MA lines cross over orange MA lines, it indicates a lower probability of a macro trend change but still suggests a potential micro trend shift. This micro trend shift can be viewed as a subordinate price dynamic change within the broader macro trend.
*Source: Prof. Pätäri, Eero. "Performance of moving average trading strategies over varying stock market conditions." Applied Economics, vol. 46, no. 24, 2014, pp. 2851-2872.
II. Stochastic Coloring for Trend Tracking and Macro Phase Identification
To provide a comprehensive view, this indicator includes a stochastic tracking feature, displayed through an intuitive single-color system across the entire matrix grid. The color scheme transitions from red lines, indicating the beginning of bearish trend phases, to green lines, indicating the initiation of bullish trend phases and vice versa. The greater the number of lines with the same color, the stronger the trend.
This tool enhances price trend monitoring, allowing traders not only to track their initiation and continuation but also to confirm trend culmination. By observing color shifts from red/green lines, traders can assess the sustainability and persistence of broader macro trends.
Note: Stochastic coloring aids in probability-based orientation and provides valuable insights for trading strategy implementation. It is most effective when used in conjunction with other analysis and risk management techniques.
III. Diverse MA Options for Enhanced Analytical Flexibility
Users have the flexibility to choose from 14 different MA types (e.g. including ALMA, KAMA, T3, VWMA, TriMA and ZLEMA). This versatility allows for precise configurations tailored to specific market conditions.
For example, among the array of these 14 MA alternatives, VWMA (Volume Weighted MA) stands out as a suitable implementation choice for integrating volume data. It goes beyond the scope of a simple moving average, considering both price and volume in its calculation, as shown in the following formula:
(C1 x V1 + C2 x V2 + ... + Cn x Vn) / (V1 + V2 + ... + Vn)
Alongside this variety of MA types, users can select from a range of OHLC combination options (open, high, low and close price data), further enhancing analytical flexibility.
Note: While these choices offer substantial flexibility, they also require a solid understanding of the various MA types and data combinations, making risk management essential.
Note on Usability
blackOrb Phase can have synergies with blackOrb Price and blackOrb Zone as all three indicators combined can give a bigger picture for supporting comprehensive and multifaceted data-driven trading analysis.
This tool was meticulously created to serve as an additional frame for the seamless integration of other more granular trading indicators. This indicator isn't intended for standalone trading application. Instead, it is serving as a supplementary tool for orientation within broader trading strategies.
Irrespective of market conditions, it can harmonize with a wider range of trading styles and instruments / trading pairs / indices like Stocks, Gold, FX, EURUSD, SPX500, GBPUSD, BTCUSD and Oil.
Inspiration and Publishing
Taking genesis from the inspirations amongst others provided by TradingView Pine Script Wizard Kodify, blackOrb Phase is a multi-encompassing script meticulously forged from scratch. It aspires to furnish a comprehensive approach, borne out of personal experiences and a strong dedication in supporting the trading community. We eagerly await valuable feedback to refine and further enhance this tool.

SizeblockPrice change indicator in the form of diagonal rows.
The calculation is based on the percentage or tick deviation of the price movement (indicated in the "Deviation" parameter), which is displayed on the chart in the form of rows.
The row consists of the base middle line, upper and lower limits:
The middle line is the basis for the upper and lower limits of the current row.
The upper and lower limits are deviations from the base middle line of the current row.
The base middle line is equal to the upper or lower limits of the previous row (if the price changes rapidly in one time interval, then the base middle line of the current row is greater than the upper limit of the previous row or less than the lower limit of the previous row by an equal number of deviations depending on the direction of price movement). At the beginning of the calculation, the base middle line is equal to the initial value of the first row.
The "Quantity" parameter determines the deviation for the upper or lower limits depending on the direction of the price movement, and the "U-turn" parameter determines the deviation for changing the direction of the price movement.
The rule for constructing a new row:
The "Source" parameter accepts, depending on the choice, the price of high, low values or the closing price from the time interval of the chart.
When the price reaches the upper or lower limits of the row and goes beyond them, a new row is formed with the same parameters for deviation of the upper and lower limits from the base middle line, depending on the direction of price movement.
By adjusting certain deviations, you can clearly see the local trend and reversal points on the chart.
A useful tool for tracking price direction.
Thanks for your attention!
IU Probability CalculatorHow This Script Works:
1. This script calculate the probability of price reaching a user-defined price level within one candle with the help Normal Distribution Probability Table.
2. Normal Distribution Probability Table is use for calculating probability of events, it's very powerful for calculation of probability and this script is fully based on that table.
3. It takes the Average True Range value or Standard Deviation value of past user-defined length bar.
4. After that it take this formula z = ( price_level - close ) / (ATR or Standard Deviation) and return the value for z, for the bearish side it take z = (close - price level) / (ATR or Standard Deviation ) formula.
5. Once we have the z it look into Normal Distribution Probability Table and match the value.
6. Now the value of z is multiple buy 100 in order to make it look in percentage term.
7. After that this script subtract the final value with 100 because probability always comes under 100%
8. finally we plot the probability at the bottom of the chart the red line indicates "The probability of price not reaching that price level", While the green line indicates "Probability of price Reaching that level " .
9. This script will work fine for both of the directions
How This Is Useful For The User:
1. With this script user can know the probability of price reaching the certain level within one candle for both Directions .
2. This is useful while creating options hedging strategies
3. This can be helpful for deciding stop loss level.
4. It's useful for scalpers for managing their traders and it can be use by binary option traders.
IU Average move How The Script Works :
1. This script calculate the average movement of the price in a user defined custom session and plot the data in a table from on top left corner of the chart.
2. The script takes highest and lowest value of that custom session and store their difference into an array.
3. Then the script average the array thus gets the average price.
4. Addition to that the script converter the price pip change into percentage in order to calculate the value in percentage form.
5. This script is pure price action based the script only take price value and doesn't take any indicator for calculation.
6. The script works on every type of market.
7. If the session is invalid it returns nothing
8. The background color, text color and transparency is changeable.
How User Can Benefit From This Script:

2. It can be helpful for understanding the average price moment of any tradeble asset.
3. It will give the average price movement both in percentage and points bases.
4. By understanding the volatility user can adjust his stop loss or take profit with respect his risk management.
itradesize /\ Remaining Time - Candle close countdown A simple tool that displays the remaining time of M15, H1, H4, and D candles until they close.
Moreover, It works on all timeframes with all the exact data of the desired timeframe.
It can be such a useful tool when you using OHLC, AMD, and other theories. As you do not need to scrub back and forth through different timeframes to look for a bar close.
Notes:
• The Remaining Time Table only works in real time. It will show a “-“ sign, when you are in a replay mode.
This indicator has a Watermark section too where you can add your name/title/etc.. additionally, it shows the symbol, current timeframe, current date and you are able to customise them.
Global Central Banks Balance Sheet USD-AdjustedSumming up central banks balance sheet of:
US , China, EU, Japan, UK,
Swiss, Australia, Canada, Norway
Brazil, Russia, India, Mexico, Indonesia
Taiwan, HK, Korea, SG, Thailand
Then adjusting it to USD as the common denominator for comparison.
Net Foreign Assets (or foreign reserves) + Net Domestic Assets (or domestic credit, usually Money Supply M1) = Total Assets of the Central Bank Balance Sheet
In some way, the central bank balance sheet could be M2. However, I find some of the indicators don't add up and I don't have the time to check them out. This indicator is just a proxy. The issue with using central bank balance sheet to determine liquidity in the system is that it doesn't account for 1) collateral used for liquidity management in the public and private system, 2) shadow-banking financial system. As usual, US + EU + Japan publishes their data every weekly and the rest of the central banks publish monthly. I have removed any country with hard-pegged currencies except HK.

Tops & Bottoms - Time of Day Report█ OVERVIEW
The indicator tracks and reports the percentage of occurrence of daily tops and bottoms by the time of the day.
█ CONCEPTS
At certain times during the trading day, the market reverses and marks the high or low of the day. Tops and bottoms are vital when entering a trade, as they will decide if you are catching the train or being straight offside. They are equally crucial when exiting a position, as they will determine if you are closing at the optimal price or seeing your unrealized profits vanish.
This indicator is before all for educational purposes. It aims to make the knowledge available to all traders, facilitate understanding of the various markets, and ultimately get to know your trading pairs by heart.
Tops and bottoms percentage of occurrence on EURGBP (London time).
Up days versus down days on EURUSD (London time).

BearMetricsLooking at the financial health of a company is a critical aspect of stock analysis because it provides essential insights into the company's ability to generate profits, meet its financial obligations, and sustain its operations over the long term. Here are several reasons why assessing a company's financial health is important when evaluating a stock:
1. **Profitability and Earnings Growth**: A company's financial statements, particularly the income statement, provide information about its profitability. Analyzing earnings and revenue trends over time can help you assess whether the company is growing or declining. Investors generally prefer companies that show consistent earnings growth.
2. **Risk Assessment**: Financial statements, including the balance sheet and income statement, offer a comprehensive view of a company's assets, liabilities, and equity. By evaluating these components, you can gauge the level of financial risk associated with the stock. A healthy balance sheet typically includes a manageable debt load and strong equity.
3. **Cash Flow Analysis**: Cash flow statements reveal how effectively a company manages its cash, which is crucial for day-to-day operations, debt servicing, and future investments. Positive cash flow is essential for a company's stability and growth prospects.
4. **Debt Levels**: Examining a company's debt levels and debt-to-equity ratio can help you determine its leverage. High debt levels can be a cause for concern, as they may indicate that the company is at risk of financial distress, especially if it struggles to meet interest payments.
5. **Liquidity**: Liquidity is vital for a company's short-term survival. By assessing a company's current assets and current liabilities, you can gauge its ability to meet its short-term obligations. Companies with low liquidity may face difficulties during economic downturns or unexpected financial challenges.
6. **Dividend Sustainability**: If you're an income-oriented investor interested in dividend-paying stocks, you'll want to ensure that the company can sustain its dividend payments. A healthy balance sheet and consistent cash flow can provide confidence in dividend sustainability.
7. **Investment Confidence**: A company with a strong financial position is more likely to attract investor confidence and positive sentiment. This can lead to higher stock prices and a lower cost of capital for the company, which can be beneficial for its growth initiatives.
8. **Risk Mitigation**: By assessing a company's financial health, you can mitigate investment risk. Understanding a company's financial position allows you to make more informed decisions about the level of risk you are comfortable with and whether a particular stock aligns with your risk tolerance.
9. **Long-Term Viability**: Ultimately, investors are interested in companies that have the potential for long-term success. A company with a healthy financial foundation is more likely to weather economic downturns, adapt to industry changes, and thrive over the years.
In summary, examining a company's financial health is a fundamental aspect of stock analysis because it provides a comprehensive picture of the company's current state and its ability to navigate future challenges and capitalize on opportunities. It helps investors make informed decisions and assess the long-term prospects of a stock in their portfolio.
sᴛᴀɢᴇ ᴀɴᴀʏʟsɪsStage analysis is a technical analysis approach that involves categorizing a stock's price movements into different stages to help traders and investors make more informed decisions. It was popularized by Stan Weinstein in his book, "Secrets for Profiting in Bull and Bear Markets." The stages are used to identify the overall trend and to time entries and exits in the market. Here's an explanation of the typical stages in stage analysis:
1. **Stage 1: Accumulation Phase**
- In this stage, the stock is in a downtrend or has been trading sideways for an extended period.
- Volume is relatively low, indicating that institutions and smart money may be quietly accumulating shares.
- The stock may test and hold support levels, showing signs of stability.
- The goal for traders in this stage is to identify the potential for a trend reversal.
2. **Stage 2: Markup (Bull Market) Phase**
- This is the stage where the stock starts a significant uptrend.
- Volume increases as institutional and retail investors become more interested in the stock.
- Technical indicators like moving averages and trendlines confirm the uptrend.
- Traders and investors look for buying opportunities during pullbacks or consolidations within the uptrend.
3. **Stage 3: Distribution Phase**
- In this stage, the stock's price begins to show signs of weakness.
- Volume might decrease as institutions and smart money start selling their positions.
- The stock may start forming a trading range or exhibit bearish chart patterns.
- Traders should consider taking profits or reducing exposure to the stock as it may enter a downtrend.
4. **Stage 4: Markdown (Bear Market) Phase**
- This is the stage where the stock enters a significant downtrend.
- Volume may remain elevated as selling pressure dominates.
- Technical indicators confirm the downtrend.
- Traders and investors should avoid buying the stock and may consider short-selling or staying on the sidelines.
Stage analysis helps traders and investors make decisions based on the current stage of a stock's price movement. The goal is to enter during the accumulation phase or early in the markup phase and exit during the distribution phase or before the markdown phase to maximize profits and minimize losses.

Double MACD Pattern 1.0This script is designed to assist traders in identifying potential trading signals and trends based on the MACD indicator. Users can adjust the input parameters to fine-tune the indicator to their trading preferences. When specific conditions are met, alerts are generated to notify the user of potential trading opportunities.
Indicator Description:
The script defines a custom indicator that calculates and plots two sets of Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) lines along with their signal lines.
It allows users to configure various parameters for MACD calculation, such as fast and slow lengths for both MACD 1 and MACD 2, as well as signal lengths for both.
Plotting:
The script plots the MACD lines and signal lines for both MACD 1 and MACD 2 on the chart with different colors and line styles.
It also plots a middle line at zero for reference.
Alerts:
The script defines conditions for generating alerts based on MACD crossover and crossunder events for both MACD 1 and MACD 2.
Alerts are generated for the following scenarios:
A long signal is generated when MACD 1 crosses under its signal line while MACD 2 crosses over its signal line.
A short signal is generated when MACD 1 crosses over its signal line while MACD 2 crosses under its signal line.
An up trend signal is generated when MACD 2 crosses over MACD 1.
A down trend signal is generated when MACD 1 crosses over MACD 2.
Alerts are included in the script to notify users of these specific trading signals.
Please note that this script is meant for educational purposes and should be used cautiously in a real trading environment. It's important to have a thorough understanding of technical analysis and risk management when using such indicators in actual trading.
blackOrb ZoneBuying near the bottom and selling near the peak can be a challenging trading approach. However, it all begins with the ability to identify these essential zones. This indicator is targeting support and resistance with heightened accuracy. It utilizes features like:
I. Multi-Level Weighting for Enhanced Support and Resistance Zones
II. Vertical Zone Range Adjustment for Enhanced Price Level Identification
III. High-Time Frame for Solid Macro Validation
IV. Projection Function for Informed Trade Management
V. Automatic Level Identification for Pinpointing Potential Order Positions
VI. Customizable Pivot Analysis for Accurate Zone Identifications
Technical Methodology
I. Multi-Level Weighting for Enhanced Support and Resistance Zones
Support and resistance are more accurately represented as wider zones rather than singular lines. In practical application, relevant support or resistance levels often converge around a central mean-weighted level within a zone.
This indicator visually represents these zones by calculating values from open, high, low, and close prices, accentuating them through varying opacities. Higher opacity within an area indicates a higher likelihood of it serving as a relevant support or resistance level.
Multiple mean options within the settings menu encompass weighted average calculations that utilize different combinations of price data within the relevant pivot analysis phase. This versatility allows users to target pertinent levels within a zone. For instance, when employing hlcc4 price data, the calculation is as follows:
mean_price_hlcc4 = (high + low + close + close) / 4
II. Vertical Zone Range Adjustment for Enhanced Price Level Identification
This feature enables users to precisely adjust the vertical zone range for price references within potential support or resistance phases. For instance, decreasing the reference setting results in a more granular validation within a narrower range. This creates vertically thinner zones with increased price level precision, although it may offer a less comprehensive perspective.
III. High-Time Frame for Solid Macro Validation
The indicator enhances pivot points, potentially in conjunction with high-time frame validation, to identify significant price zones with heightened confirmation strength driven by volume. Higher time frames provide more extensive volume verification, for instance, comparing the 4-hour to the 24-hour timeframe (a multiple of six).
This feature involves cross-referencing data from higher time frames, heightening the reliability of support and resistance zones and providing valuable insights into potential trading interest levels.
Technically, the indicator applies the identical rigorous analysis to both lower and higher time frames. This approach facilitates a more comprehensive perspective and aids in the clearer identification of overarching macro support and resistance levels, even when focusing on smaller timeframes. For instance, a potential support zone identified on the daily time frame can gain higher confidence when confirmed on a weekly chart.
IV. Projection Function for Informed Trade Management
The projection function visually extends the most recent analysis of support and resistance zones forward, in accordance with the user's configured parameters.
By displaying precise price values at these visualized support and resistance levels, this indicator offers valuable assistance in decision-making, particularly when planning real-time orders or when engaged in an active trade management phase (e.g., for the purpose of adjusting stop-loss levels post-entry).
Note: This function is based on historical data. It may not account for unforeseen market events. It's important to complement this feature with ongoing analysis of real-time market data.
V. Automatic Level Identification for Pinpointing Potential Order Positions
It is empirically observed that traders frequently position orders at price levels that conform to quantized values due to cognitive biases.*
Consequently, blackOrb Zone not only facilitates the identification of pertinent levels within a weighted zone but also features an "auto" functionality designed to analyze price dynamics in the proximity of these relevant levels. The objective is to identify discrete values in close vicinity, which exhibit a higher likelihood of serving as authentic support and resistance zones.
This processing approach assists traders in precisely locating the central mean-weighted level within a given zone and identifies proximate quantized levels.
Note: This method becomes especially relevant during phases of price retesting, where market participants converge, contributing to a further refinement of levels, indicative of an asymmetric balance between supply and demand.

VI. Customizable Pivot Analysis for Accurate Zone Identifications
The indicator employs pivot points to pinpoint key price zones where price dynamics could encounter buying or selling pressure.
Essential components of this method involve comparing time units both to the left and right within a designated phase of support or resistance, effectively defining the search range for pivotal points.
For instance, in the analysis below, the search is for the highest price point that hasn't been surpassed within a certain resistance zone in the last 10 time units to the left and 10 time units to the right:
ta.pivothigh(10, 10)
Potential Trade Management Applications of blackOrb Zone
- Reversal Trading : Robust support zones with bullish signals can indicate opportune moments for buying or long position entries, whereas confirmed resistance zones can be identified for selling or short position entries.
- Breakout Trading : Anticipating price surges as price breach support or resistance level. A resistance breakout can signal a bullish price dynamic, while a support breakdown may suggest a bearish price dynamic.
- Range Trading : In lateral sideways markets, users can capitalize on support zones for buying and resistance zones for selling, profiting from price fluctuations.
- Take-Profit Management : For buying or long positions, resistance zones can be identified to determine suitable take-profit levels either within or near these zones - for short positions, vice versa with support zones.
- Stop-Loss Management : For buying or long positions, support zones can be identified to determine appropriate stop-loss levels beneath these zones - for short positions, vice versa with resistance zones to determine stop-loss levels above these zones.
Note on Usability
blackOrb Zone can have synergies with blackOrb Price as both indicators combined can give a bigger picture for supporting comprehensive and multifaceted data-driven trading analysis.
This tool was meticulously created to serve as an additional frame for the seamless integration of other more granular trading indicators. This indicator isn't intended for standalone trading application. Instead, it is serving as a supplementary tool for orientation within broader trading strategies.
Irrespective of market conditions, it can harmonize with a wider range of trading styles and instruments / trading pairs / indices like Stocks, Gold, FX, EURUSD, SPX500, GBPUSD, BTCUSD and Oil.
